Heavenblossom - Reunition

//Rp format will be slightly different because Im lazy lol// //word count: 1884// // post i yoinked the border from //

-Leia’s flight finally comes to a halt as she spots the presumed landmark that Sōngshū had pointed out before she took off.

{This nation does look beautiful from the skies.. though I doubt that many people have been able to see it from such a view.}

She simply hovers over the place for a while, before flying a bit lower to scan the ground below. Hm.. she can’t see anyone, nor can she sense anyone either. But ooh, is that a shiny fish in that river over there?

Leia momentarily gets distracted by— well, the fish in the river. She lets herself ‘sit’ on the ground so she could rest her wings. They still fluttered despite her not flying anymore.. more of a subconscious action for stimulation than anything.

“Hello, little fishy! Your scales are so shiny and pretty.” Leia says. The fish gives her a look that could be the equivalent to a glare. This makes her laugh.

-…They recognized that laugh. It makes their heart hurt.

Sakura had decided to check Liyue first because.. well, they don’t even know. It was just a feeling in their mind that told them that this was the place they needed to be. And it seems like their feelings finally decided to be on their side for once.

Did it take a bit out of them to get here so fast? Yes. They can’t teleport like Chero does, so they simply had to rely on jumping in and out of shadows. Getting out of Fontaine was the truly only difficult part, because of the annoyingly huge ocean in between the exit of Fontaine and the back entrance of Sumeru.

Once they had gotten out, they simply jumped from person to person, before spotting a blurred shape flying above and deciding to follow it.

..Maybe they should have napped before they left. But it’s whatever.

Now, after tossing different ideas in their head, they decide to use the same tactic they did with Cyrille- simply showing up and waiting for their presence to be reacted to.

So, their little shadow carefully slinks up next to Leia, and they carefully rise out of it so that they’re now sitting next to her, just out of her peripheral vision. They become slightly annoyed that Leia is still taller than them, even when sitting, after all these years.

“You flew all the way here just to get distracted by a fish who doesn’t seem to like you very much.” Sakura says, amusement spilling into their voice. “Very productive of you.”

-“Well, it is a very shiny fish, and it was practically asking for my attention. I can’t really control what my attention span latches itself onto, you kn-“ Leia stops halfway through her ramble, the voice of the other person registering in her head.

She turns to face.. Sakura. The always-tired, lovely face of Sakura, who has finally seen her again.

With no hesitation, Leia solidifies her entire body and wraps Sakura into a tight hug. All six of her wings wrap themselves around Sakura too, protecting them, holding them, never wanting to let go ever again out of fear that they’ll disappear from her arms.

-Sakura doesn’t even hesitate with hugging her back, letting Leia hold them tightly. It doesn’t take long until they burst into tears, all the pressure and pain and longing from these past thousand years finally deciding to manifest into a single emotion- sorrow.

-Leia rubs the top of Sakura’s head, rocking them back and forth as a comfort method. She missed them so, so much. Words couldn’t even describe how much overwhelming emotion she was feeling right now, but she figured Sakura was probably feeling so, so much worse. 

“I’m sorry. I should’ve listened to you. You were right.” Leia says, her voice low so that she wouldn’t overwhelm the other by simply speaking. It was her fault that they got separated so early. If she had just been more patient. If she had just waited..

-Sakura curls themselves into Leia’s chest, almost entirely hidden to anyone who may be watching from afar. They don’t respond in words- just more and more sobs. 

“I…m.. sorry..” They say in between gasps. “I.. killed… everyone..”

-“No, don’t apologize. Please.” Leia interjects, squeezing Sakura tighter. “I swear to- well, myself because I’m literally the embodiment of heaven- don’t blame yourself for my stupid decision. You were right, maybe we could’ve all made it out if I had just waited a bit.”

-Sakura cries for a bit longer before forcing themselves to a stop. They needed to know what happened. They knew Rhea did it, but..

“What happened after…? How are you.. here..”

And this is why they never cry. It makes speaking so unnecessarily hard.

-“..It’s a.. very long story.” Leia sighs, still rocking Sakura back and forth. Now it was to comfort both of them, instead of just comforting Sakura. 

-“I have.. at least another 600 years.. before I’m set to die. I can listen..”

-“Are you.. sure you even want to hear it now? It may make you mad…”

-“And we.. both know how I get when I’m mad.” Sakura finishes with a long, tired sigh. Hey, at least their speech is getting better again. “But you’re the only liv- ..the only other person here now.. I can’t hurt anybody if there’s nobody to hurt in the first place. Unless you’re not ready to tell me. I can wait.”

-…She sighs. 

“After I had died, I watched the entire thing that happened afterwards. You killing the remaining people at camp, Rhea revealing the truth.. and then I got mad, like you did. Not homicidally-mad, but just.. pissed. How could the heavens let this happen? How could such a gruesome, evil activity pass through the gate’s supervision unnoticed?” “So, there was a moment where I couldn’t follow you anymore and I decided to trek up to Heaven to see what the deal was. I told them everything- the murder, the gore, the psychological abuse, everything… and they..”

Can she even say it out loud to them? “..they didn’t believe me.”

-“They didn’t what?!” Sakura sits up, looking at Leia with a look of pure disbelief. “How? How did they not believe you? Were there not hundreds- probably even thousands of kids just pouring into heaven's gates? Did they not ever sit and wonder ‘Hey, why are there so many kids all of a sudden’? How-”

They take a deep breath. They were getting mad. They couldn’t get mad. Not again.

-”See, that’s what I was saying!” Leia exclaimed, which entirely caught Sakura off guard. “I brought up every single one of those points! And they still said I was spewing bullshit! The nerve!” -”....I’ve never heard you curse before.”

“Yeah, cause I never need to! But those guys made me so mad that it literally makes me want to destroy everything within the vicinity.” The wings hugging Sakura tighten around the other a bit more, and Sakura notices that the air around the two of them looked like.. it was being crumpled up.

-”Okay, continue your story before you actually destroy everything within the vicinity. This isn’t our world- we can’t just destroy it because of.. angry outbursts.” Sakura lays their head back on Leia’s chest, aware of how much of a hypocrite they sounded like right now. Luckily for them, Leia begins rubbing their head again and continuing with her story. 

-”Okay, so basically, I decided to reenact the Lady Timeflower dilemma and start a war in heaven because those guys were nerving me.” Leia loses her serious, somber tone and it’s replaced with a hyper and energetic one. One that Leia presumes Sakura is very, very familiar with by now. “And I fucking won. I got to be the one to kill the Overlord and then I assumed that I could go back down and find you- buuuut I didn’t realize how hierarchy works. So I. Uh. Became the new overlord? Oops?”

-Sakura sits there in silence for a good minute. Then, their shoulders start to shake.

-Leia is confused, patting Sakura’s head because she thinks they are crying. But to her surprise, Sakura starts laughing. It starts as a little giggle and then slowly turns into a full blown laugh. She.. hasn’t heard them laugh like that in at least a thousand years.

-”You tell me about a moment that was probably extremely traumatic for you-” Sakura tilts their head to look up at Leia with a lingering smile. “Not only because you had to be the leader of an army, presumably, but also because of the Vetwilia and Whitilio war- and yet you said it in such a hilarious, uncaring way, just to subconsciously brighten the mood.. I’ve always loved that about you.”

-Leia can feel her face heat up, and she turns away with a sheepish laugh. Her ear-wings were flapping in a embarrassed but happy way. Flappy ears. “Well, you know how I am. I’m just such a bright and fun person to be around.” Is her response. -Sakura lets their laughter die out, eventually sighing again. “You.. are okay now, right? At least a bit? I can’t say that I know that war is terrible- Rheflora has never caught even the smallest whiff of violence- but I’ve heard enough stories from Whitilio refugees that I do know that it.. certainly is scarring.”

-“I’m better now. Unlike you and Chero, I know that I need to actually process my trauma instead of repressing it and hoping that it just miraculously evaporates into a cloud of PTSD and magic amnesia.”

-”That’s just rude, now. It’s an effective coping  mechanism, and it worked until we landed on this idiotic planet.” Sakura closes their eyes again, savoring Leia’s small moment of flusteredness because they know damn well the tables are going to be turned on them the second the two get used to each other again. {At least I know she still loves me. And I still love her.}

-”Effective isn’t the same as healthy. Two very different things, actually, with their own separate meanings and ways they can be used in certain contexts.” Leia rolls her eyes. 

-”Please. Not another Language lesson. I’ve had enough of grammatical lectures. Look- I use at least half of the words you have forcibly taught me in my day-to-day speech. You can’t call me grammatically lacking now.”

-Leia laughs, and Sakura realizes once again that they could listen to this laugh forever and beyond, and still never get tired of it even once. They know that the two of them still have.. a lot they need to talk about. Leia simply skimmed over her troubles, and Sakura has yet to explain their own disappearance. One of the most crucial steps in the healing process is trusting each other with their issues. That, unfortunately, isn’t something that can happen in a few hours.

But hey, there’s no rush. Sakura has 600 years, and even after they die, they won’t be separated because they can just go back to the Heaven of their homeworld together. Either that or prank people as ghosts here. Both are appealing.

Relationships take time. And no one makes that time but you.

cassierose for the ship ask game !!

Ship It

What made you ship it? i liked them in tt03, which you know, is truly a feat considering how terribly that comic treats both of them. but their dynamic (angry homoeroticism) managed to be compelling still

What are your favorite things about the ship? i enjoy girl antagonism from time to time. i know were all sick of the trope that teen girls all hate each others guts but considering cassie has a pretty good relationship with all the other girls on her team(s) its fun to see her just go ugh i hate this one. this one can go. theyre just fun and bitchy and i think they should hatefuck about it. but beside that theres also so much potential there ! i think you know, if anyone writing that comic actually cared about cassie or rose or about their character development, it would have been interesting to see their relationship change over time instead of getting one issue where cassie implicitly calls rose family while protecting her, and then the next one she immediately she calls her a manipulative psychopath for no good reason bc they cant figure out how to make the team interesting without having some wildly antagonistic relationship that doesnt make sense if u think about it for a few seconds. theyre never going to be besties but it would have been nice to see them go from blind hate to an uneasy truce; they dont like each other but they do, unfortunately, care about each other, and lets see where we go from that. + itd be interesting to dig into cassies hypocrisy when it comes to hating rose

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? i guess its that i would like them to grow past mindlessly despising each other ? this is not me criticizing anyone but i feel like a lot of takes on cassierose ive seen are that they should stay in the hatefucking no mushy business❌❌❌phase which is definitely fair and true to how they are in tt03. but i do have some issues with the way they were written in tt03 (particularly cassie) and would like to see their dynamic progress from that (see rant above)

Okokok so your gen2 au for dw has been spinning around inside my head like a microwave for the past week and I have SO many questions (if that's fine ofc ...)

First of all, how do Watson and Paris get along? Ik you mentioned that Watson doesn't like Rodger, but do Watson and Paris have a similar dynamic to Rodger and Glisten, or is it different?

Second of all, PLEASEEE don't tell me that vee's gen2 version is just called vee version 2... /silly

Third of all, if the company wants to kill any old dandy's world toons on sight, what do all the toons plan to do about this? Do they have some sort of plan of escape, or are they just going to hide in the new facility/somewhere else indefinitely?

Also, what's false ichor? You mentioned it briefly and I've been wondering how the gen2 toons function if their ichor is less efficient than true ichor. What problems does it bring up for them and all?

There's probs a lot more I could ask but I think this is plenty for now lmao. You don't have to answer them all, or any at all, I just kinda had to get these out of my brain :3 anyways I love your art!! And your au's!!! Ur so awesome and cool please don't get microwaved!!!!

HEHEHEHE THANK U FOR THIS ASKKKK i havent yapped abt gen2 in a while i miss it ... Ask away my friend 🙏 also obligatory @cherryformula mention @cherryformula @cherryformula @che

1) They get along but in the most artificial, forced way possible. its not even that they act chill with each other they Actively choose to spend time with each other and one would think that theyre the best of friends... thats what they try to be, but only because they know that if they dont everything will go to shit LOL. they hate each others guts SOOOO BADDDD and to stop both themselves and each other from getting in trouble theyve come to this mutual agreement without words that theyre gonna be all buddy buddy with each other so they can avoid ripping out each others throats. They fucking hate each other

2) SHES NOT LOLLL Her name is "t" purposefully lowercade because uhmm. Haha funny math reference. t like a variable!!! shes a calculator :3 i actually did make a ref for her but shes in the group of gen2 toons that i never posted... ough

3) OK HERES THE THING. None of them actually know this. they show up at new gardenview with mixed feelings and very messy expectations because theyre not sure if theyll be welcomed with open arms or welcomed with hostility... i think that mainly the group is filled with optimism though, so when the gen2 toons see the gen1ers show ip theyre like DUDE??? FUCK???? WE NEED TO HELP KEEP YOU HIDDEN OR THEYRE GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU ALL !!!!

The gen2 toons arent monitored 24/7 (some more than others) so theyre just trying to help the gen1 toons heal and stay alive ,,, theres nowhere for any of them to go if they were to escape since 3 foot cartoon characters would NOT last walking around fucking LA or something 💀 theyre just. Trying to survive pretty much. they've fought so hard for their lives for decades, and they dont want to give up.

4) Im not sure exactly what false ichor would be made of, its some sort of substance as vague as ichor itself lol. But its basically just Gardenview trying to recreate ichor in a lab

the gen2 toons dont hold together as well as the gen1 toons do. After about a week they start to lose their shape and gradually become more distorted and melty until theyre a puddle of goop on the floor... literally in order to SURVIVE the gen2 toons need to be killed and remade on a regular basis </3 This false ichor is a lot cheaper to make compared to how expensive it was to pump ichor from the ground though and they can reuse it to recreate toons as many times as theyd like

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOURE SO SWEET!!!!<33 i miss youy gen2 au

[sparklingsora]

Holy fuck your Vee swap au is going to live rent free in my head forever . Vox being the bassist in Adam’s band is soooooo <3 to me . Obsessed . The designs are also so fucking fire 10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you elaborate more on the concept ? /np

first of all, thank you!!! <3 im so glad other people are enjoying this au :] not sure which concept exactly you mean - if you mean just the swap au in general, you'll see that i've already answered a number of asks about it, so you can go read through those!! but, since you mentioned vox and adam's band, i suppose i can elaborate on that! so, out of the lute/adam/eve trio, eve's definitely the most social. she hangs out with other sinners the most out of the three of them - lute and adam are kinda stuck-up and see themselves as above the other sinners (but dont worry theyll get better eventually). anyway, when rock music comes into existence, the three get aspirations to start a rock band together. lute takes up the drums, and adam and eve both take a liking to the electric guitar - now they're just missing a bassist! at one point, eve meets a bassist whose performance captivates her - vox. she befriends him, and finds out that he doesn't belong to a band, he just plays as a support bassist for various bands. she invites him to jam with her and the other members of brimstone eden - the name they chose for their budding band. well, the name EVE chose. if it was up to adam and lute they'd name it something like THE PUSSYDESTROYERS 🔥🔥🔥

anyway, lute and adam are hesitant at first, but the four of them discover that they fit together quite well musically, and vox officially joins the band. from that point on, the four of them become very close (adam, lute and vox are sorta like the worst siblings on the planet), until it all goes down the shitter when eve disappears and the rest of the group gets splintered </3

[moonspirit]

Hello moon🫵🏻

What do u think abt annie actually tutoring armin post rumbling? Yk bc he is an ignorant mf bc of paradis and annie just knows a lot more stuff bc of the marlyan training or sm (idk how to write marlyan) and just being ahead of paradis in ssooo many things, so hell just ask abt sm and she’ll answer and then his face turns to that cutsie ootsie curious baby and then b like “ oohh wow!!” and maybe even praising annie a little if yk what i mean😎 but thats not the subject.

And theyll just get used to that and annie will really REALLYYY love showing armin new stuff bc he becomes just sooo happy and his reaction is worth the exhaustion that comes after explaining that and this thing. Maybe one time theyll be trying something new armin never heard of it and he messed it up really, so annie will just show him the right way and hell try again and when he get it right hell just smilllee thatt big ass smille wuth eyes brightening and hell turn to annie to let her see that he did a good job and shes just falling in love even more and ayoo this is so long

Hiiii anon!!!! But omg THIS IS SO CUTE, I'M JUST SEEING NOTHING BUT ARMIN BEING LIKE:

All Annie has to say is something like: "Hey I'm pretty sure Neptune is going to be the closest to Earth tonight, it was in the newspaper in Marley when I was a kid... It's already that day, huh." in casual, passing conversation.

And Armin's immediately: *perks up his ears and comes running* NETPEUNE?? NEPTONE??? WHAT IS THAT ANNIE? TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME-

At first it's extremely exhausting for her because she can't just explain in 2-3 words and call it a day - Armin has a million questions. "It's blue? Why is it blue? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S JUST A BALL OF GAS? How does that stick together then? Space-time? What. How does this work? YOU CAN USE MATH TO EXPLAIN THIS?! Annie, then how-"

And she's. TIRED.

But it's so endearing, you know, how he becomes all bug-eyed and happy and excited, vibrating on twelve-different atomic levels, drooling all over her because. DELICIOUS NEW THING TO LEARN. And despite how her throat begins to get sore because she's simply not used to talking so much (!!!!) Annie finds she can't get enough of watching him being so happy and curious - IN HIS ELEMENT - and hanging on to her every word.

And because he's SMORT and CLEVOR and INTELLIGANT he picks up concepts quite fast and after he's just swallowed a whole new piece of information, he's all satisfied and wagging his tail and.... Annie has to do this because he's SO CUTE.

(and ofc, later he rewards her for being suuuuuuch a good teacher :3 Ya know what I mean. *winkwinkwinh*)

[noisyghost]

Ooo you fed me so well, I wasn’t even sure if I would get answers! So now I’m gonna try my hand at asking who bit Ark, what happened?! This is so juicy (rubbing my gremlin hands together).

oh rest assured, I will answer any and all OC related questions with overwhelming fervor and I will not be cool about it at all <3

The person that bit Ark was Josie! She's what the girlies like to call "a hot mess" <3

im so sorry this reply is so long. I started typing and kept failing to summarize things until it was. way too many paragraphs lmao. TLDR; Ark and Mira were attempting to rescue a woman named Josie who'd basically been manipulated into servitude by a very shitty guy. Josie also happens to be a werewolf. At some point during the attempted rescue, Josie had to watch someone she cared about a lot be killed, and she immediately wolfed out and attacked everyone around her, including Ark <3

I did not proofread this after typing it and it's 1am so i'm sorry if some things dont line up correctly, im stupid :)

Josie got bit when she was 18 on a camping trip with friends and it subsequently ruined her life. She survived bc a monster hunter killed the werewolf before it killed her, but she still got bit and ended up running away from home bc the aforementioned monster hunter told her to (it was either "run away and never come back" or "im killing you right now for real") everyone in her family thinks she died except her sister, Rose, who saw it happen and - upon never finding the body - spent the next 10 or so years looking for her.

Because Josie never really had anyone to explain to her what was going on, or support her in any way, she spent a lot of time alone, and subsequently fell into some pretty dark places. She eventually finds herself stuck in a monster fighting ring bc shes been conditioned to think that this is literally all shes good for. At the very least, she makes "good friends" with another werewolf girl stuck in the same spot as her named Cleo and theyre basically the only thing keeping each other alive for the next couple years.

At some point in all this, her sister Rose manages to track her down, but worried about her and her sisters safety, gets in contact with Mira (who is functionally the lynchpin holding the entire cities supernatural community together whether anyone knows it or not lmao) to ask for help rescuing her from the guy basically keeping her prisoner.

Aforementioned guy keeping these monster girls prisoner was named Dekker, and he was basically the scum of the earth. He dealt in monsters and magic and took advantage of a lot of peoples inability to get help (EX: 'you're a werewolf. what are you gonna do? who's gonna help you? no one. theyll just think you're crazy, and then youll end up killing innocent people because you're a monster and that's what you do). Josie and Cleo were his favorite girls and he showboated them around as both arm candy and bodyguards.

The thing with Mira and her work is that she likes to help people as best she can, but she's not like. A superhero with all the latest tech. She's a woman with a smartphone and a handful of 30 year old weirdo friends that share a group chat where someone will text "do we have plans this weekend?" and then someone will reply 3 days later with "i forgot what day it was". They're not exactly the justice league.

All they were trying to do was find Josie and rescue her for her sister. Mira has a lot of power and can do a lot of things, but this Dekker guy was notoriously slippery, and no amount of brute force was going to get them into one of these monster fights without notifying Dekker and giving him a chance to escape with the girls.

So, after tracking down one of these fights, the plan was to sneak in, find Josie and then convince her to leave with them. Originally, it was just supposed to be Mira doing all the legwork. But Ark, who was going thru a fucking crisis of identity at the time and also saw a lot of his own sister in Rose, essentially demands Mira lets him help under the guise of "I'm human, I'm way less likely to draw unwanted attention". Esp since Mira is a 6'4" goddess who attracts attention everywhere she goes lmao (Of note, they had several friends who also urged Ark to Not Volunteer To Do This, but outside factors made it unrealistic for this plan to work without getting caught with anyone other than Ark oops).

So Ark went in to find Josie and Mira was anxiously playing support, ready to rush in and save him if need be. And, to be fair, he did in fact find Josie! He told her who he was and who sent him here (Rose) and told her all she had to do was go find Mira and she would get her out. But Josie was skeptical and, frankly, afraid. She didn't believe that Mira had the power to keep her safe from Dekker, but she also didn't want to believe that her sister had been looking for her for 10 years because she was so disgusted with herself she would have preferred her sister just think she was dead!

However - Cleo, who was with Josie, did not share her fears. Cleo had had Enough, and wanted to run away with her. Josie panicked, afraid that if they ran, they were going to be hunted down and everyone involved with her was going to be killed.

So she ran away to a back room to calm down. Cleo went after her, and Ark kind of followed, but at a distance. Cleo did manage to get her settled a little, but the both of them got caught by Dekker, who harassed Josie into admitting that there was someone there trying to get them to leave, hoping he would respect the honesty. He did not.

To try and mitigate some of the flack, Cleo claimed she was the one the guy was talking to, so he would chew her out instead. Josie and Cleo both felt bad that they'd fucked this guy over, but if he was with someone as powerful as he claimed to be, he'd be alright, surely?

Apparently this was not the first time Cleo has been distant from Dekker recently. It was clear she wasn't as afraid of him as he thought she should be. So he made the executive decision to make an example out of her.

The thing about werewolves and the full moon is this: the full moon is the only time when a werewolf is forced to turn. However, they can technically turn whenever if you supply enough trauma. For Josie, that line was watching Dekker kill the only person she'd loved in the last decade.

He'd expected her to fall in line because that's what she'd been doing for the last few years. He didn't really know what Cleo had meant to her, so he hadn't expected any retaliation. But something snapped in her brain and everything kinda went red.

Josie's a particularly large werewolf - at least 13'; there's a reason she was a fighting champion - so when a beast like that gets let loose in a relatively small arena, things tend to go bad fast! She just blindly started tearing people apart (including Dekker, of course).

Ark had heard the muffled gunshots over the music and the crowd and he just went in on instinct, knowing immediately he was fucked regardless of what he did. Things escalated very quickly after that. It couldn't have been more than 30 seconds that passed inbetween Josie wolfing out and her clamping her teeth into his shoulder. And maybe it was just a moment of grief-stricken clarity, but she wavered just slightly - what the fuck was she doing? She hated him because he'd tried to help and if he'd never shown up, they would be fine. But Cleo had trusted him without a doubt, like she just intrinsically knew something about him. And no matter how much she hated him in that moment, It's not what Cleo would have wanted. Dekker was dead.

Josie gently let go of him, mostly sure it wouldn't matter because he'd die either way. She took Cleo's body and she fled. Mira saw Ark, and she saw Josie run - she could choose one or the other. She, of course, chose to help Ark, immediately struck with the guilt of knowing that he was here because she couldn't talk him out of it, and because she thought she'd be strong enough to keep him safe anyway.

The next couple weeks are a blur for everyone. Mira hates Josie and she hates Rose for coming to her in the first place. Ark hates himself, mostly, because he was tired of being the weak little human everyone had to dote on so he decided to get in over his head playing hero. Well, at least he didnt have to worry about the human part any more.

Josie buried Cleo in the woods. She marked the grave and visits often.

Anyway.

Would you believe me if I told you this very sad series of events somehow ends in Ark marrying a professional wrestler? Or Josie going on to become a lawyer with a house-husband who is also part demon? Because it somehow gets much, much weirder.

[thedivineflowers]

HII!! My first time requesting so I feel a little silly, I love your works and as a former middle schooler I love thinking of these silly dudes as my brothers and I can imagine it really well through your writing and your humor is just like mine! In your parental terms fic I read Azul offer us a job at Mostro lounge and I honestly wanna know the daily activities and goofiness that happens on our work shifts😭 feel free to decline this I can’t wait for you deuces mom fic!<3🙈

Ofc ofc and I won't decline this masterpiece bb.

School night:

Clocking in at work:

When you clock in at work you gotta be early and then go to Azul's VIP room so you can tell him about the bitch who stole your test answers and eat your snack.

If you don't clock in at the right time you will be called and texted multiple times and hunted down by the twins who are just as worried about you as Azul.

When you're done with your snack you go change into your work uniform which is the dorm uniform but you have a lounge pin on your bowtie which has a tracker so Azul can keep an eye on you. And you also get your own version of Azul's coat because I know it's cold as fuck in that damn lounge.

Near beginning of shift:

If at any point you have to take a break not even one madol will be taken off your payment no matter how long your break is.

And ofc you goof off and you're allowed to be mean to the customers.

"Hey, I wanted clams not crabs!" A customer shouted at you. "AND I WANTED A SEA PONY, LIFE AINT FAIR." You shouted at the customer and threw a knife and fork on their plate.

You and Floyd are allowed to throw people out of the Lounge and you two mostly throw people out together.

You hold the person by their hands and Floyd holds them by their feet. You start swinging the person towards the opened lounge doors. "One..." You started "Two..." Floyd said "THREE!!" You both shouted at the same time and threw the ex customer out and closed the door with a satisfied sigh.

And sometimes if you can or want to Azul would host shows for you to entertain the audience and get more Madol 😈😈😈. And to make the school fear you. 🧍‍♂️

Middle of shift:

At this time you get a thirty minute break. You mostly get your breaks with the twins so they mostly take you to go feed the sea animals and try to help you with your homework if you have any. Or if you have nothing to do you go bother the other workers and scare them. More than half of them bitches are scared of your feral ass so you just gotta do some oogly boogly shit and theyll be saying sorry.

When your break ends you have to go back to work. But you are left in charge of the lounge when Jade and Floyd have to go observe a deal with Azul. So you mostly have customers complain to you while the twins are away and you get this time to mess with them if it's something stupid.

And most of the time is stuff about how they did not like the food when they just wanted to not pay for their food. They say this while they're paying and then demand a whole ass refund so you go into the secret monopoly money stash and give it to them saying it's limited edition madol. 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

And sometimes Azul himself will come in to see how things are doing and will chat with the guests but he's just watching and making sure that you're alright and don't need a break cause dawg you're a fucking kid working a whole ass job trying to get paid more than what Crowley gives you and you got all this stuff to do bro you couldn't even enjoy being a kid anymore when you first met the old ass man😔 😒.

Near the end of the shift:

At this time it's when the lounge starts closing up and people start leaving and this means extra money and coins to snatch 😈😈. You find about 500 madol lying around throughout the lounge and Azul says you can keep it most of the time.

And around this time Azul has you eat your dinner and calm down after working and you change out of your uniform right when the clock hits 9 (idfk so ima take a guess and say nine through ten at night). And when Azul makes sure your homework is completed and correct you'd be allowed to do whatever.

And sometimes it's too late to be walking out by yourself so Azul and the twins have you sleep in your own dorm room over there and if Grims with you he has his own bed and blankets next to yours. (It was demanded that the cat gets a bed by you or else you'd go bat shit around Azul's office. 🧍‍♂️) and you have your own matching pajama set that's similar to Azul so after you're done getting ready for bed you'd go in Azul's office sometimes to keep him company and drag him to his room because his eyebags look this close to being able to hold a whole fucking Walmart.

Weekend:

Clocking in:

It's morning time and you're ass is waking up at fucking 10 in the morning because you slept at 4 and almost pulled an all nighter.

You have to go to Azul's office when you wake up or else Azul will give you the day off to sleep and gaggle around.

And when you finish eating your breakfast and waking up you get to change into your uniform and choose what you want to do, paper work, keeping Azul company, or working with the twins.

You still get paid so 💃.

But sometimes Azul will have you turn into a merfolk by drinking a potion and you get to swim around the aquarium and spook the customers.

Middle of shift:

You get your break and your lunch to eat and it's free because you were able to say hello to Lucious the other day during the animal speech class.

And after that you get to do whatever you want or you could go and observe one of Azul's contract agreements thingies with the twins.

And if they try to like swing at Azul you get to go batshit and drag them outside while Azul cleans up his office for his next contract.

Near end of shift:

This time it's a little later which is 10 at night and you all clean up yiddy yadda but you get more extra change because you performed earlier.

Then you get to change out of your uniform once Azul tells you and you immediately have to take a shower then get ready for bed because you don't know when you're gonna sleep.

And obviously have no homework (🤮🤮 EEWWWWW) so you get stay up worh Azul and the twins watching national geographic, cooking shows, extreme cheapskates, boxing matches or basketball games. One of those. And you all end up sleeping on the couch in your room where the TV is (you're fucking spoiled) and sometimes you all would just sit around and gossip but no one knows what goes on in your room but the lights are always on until morning 😨. So far Floyd has taught you how to give a hug bigger than his 🤗. You've sent three people to the infirmary in less than two hours in school.

You obviously stay over because no one wants to go out that fucking late unless you're getting paid to go and rock someones shit 😒.

YEYEYEYEYEYEYYEY

I LOVE THOS SM JWHWBWJWJWJWM

Anyways I hope you like it. I know i was like kinda late I'm still working on the other ones so def look forward to those 😘😘😘

hello hello! im interested in watching some new anime this year and my fave animes r sailor moon, madoka magica, and ouran high school host club. i especially love a silly funny slice of life show. what r the top 3 youd recommend as fitting the bill?

CRACKS MY LIL KNUCKLES

okay so out of all the anime ive ever seen, know, or like i think these animes would maybe fit your fancy:

Revolutionary Girl Utena.

spoke about it in my last ask so u can find more info there if u havent already seen it, but please anyone reading this, if u havent seen this anime please PLEASE go watch it. trigger warnings for the things i discussed in the last ask i answered, but it is beautifully animated, it crafts a deep, meaningful, and impactful story about breaking down the patriarchal ideals of what it means to be a "prince" and "princess". how society tries to assign us these roles based off of our gender or sex, and how they affect both men and women in terms of toxic masculinity, and how young girls and women pay the price for it. it is often told in heavy symbolism and metaphors or through a fairy tale like lens, but it all has a purpose. theres a ton of symbolic meaning in it that i still dont understand, even after my most recent rewatch. its stunning, and its queer as hell! directed by none other than kunihiko ikuhara, if anyone is familiar with any of his other popular works (such as the sailor moon R movie, yurikuma arashi, and penguindrum)

2) CLANNAD

HEAR ME OUT i ADORE clannad it is one of my top 5 animes ever and it is BEAUTIFUL. its two seasons total, produced by kyoani, and it is funny, charming, beautiful, and tragic. the second season is its most acclaimed, because After Story is just....breathtaking, but the first season rly starts off good too. the humor is so fucking good, i found myself laughing my ass off all through both seasons and it reads as a harem, but it doesnt follow the exact same harem tropes because the main guy has always had eyes for one girl since day 1 so....sorry ladies this is nagisa's house. also it is based off of an old 2000s otome game so thats why too. but clannad follows the main story, nagisa's route.

the story is essentially about a high schooler named Tomoya Okazaki who hates his dad, the town he lives in, and himself. and on the hill going to school one day he meets a senior, Nagisa Furukawa, and she's talking to herself to calm herself down because she's afraid to go back to school. tomoya overhears and it kinda...resonates with him. so he basically says theyll do it together. and so kicks off their story, about how nagisa's passion to follow her dreams before her senior year is over warms up tomoya's frozen heart and they fall for each other. it has a good cast of characters, like the girls in the cover shown and more, and its a slice of life, drama. beautiful 10/10 definitely recommend. get ur tissues ready tho i will warn u, i stayed crying like a baby lolol

3) Cardcaptor Sakura

another magical girl series if u havent already seen it! a classic among the magical girl genre, i offer you CLAMP's probably highest grossing series, cardcaptor sakura! i grew up on this anime, and im talkin GREW UP i was 9 when i watched this anime in japanese on youtube in 3 parts lmao (i was not fuckin with that 4kids dub ngl) and i adore this anime. granted it is a CLAMP creation, therefore there are some Questionable things in there, but the story, art style, characters, and magic are rly fun!!! plus....SYAORAN LI UM HELLO??? MY SON???? total tsundere brat, but hes a dream boat too yknow????

i wassss going to recommend Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle as my third ngl, because it does have sakura and syaoran as their main protagonists in trc, as well as many other clamp characters (mcu who?) buttttttt tsubasa is always a shot in the dark to recommend to people because 1) the anime sucks. if u want the true, authentic story u gotta read the manga. i am rolling around in my grave for all eternity until tsubasa gets a manga-faithful anime adaptation....and 2) not a lot of people like tsubasa because its unnecessarily convoluted lolol there are definitely gripes i have with certain aspects of its story, but i adore that manga with all my being it is sooo so good.

40% -⚜️ (I swear I'll answer the one you sent today)

40% Describe your most sexy fantasy

CW: Smut, toys, bondage, bdsm, pain, degradation, puppy play

Id love to be muzzled, leashed, maybe blindfolded, and completly bare, save for a fluffy pair of puppy ears and a pretty fuzzy tail plug, forced to sit at my owners feet while they get ready to play some video games.

Theyd scruff my hair as they came in to play gently tugging on my leash with the excuse of "cmon pet, i trained you better than to squirm~"

They play the first round, i stay still and quiet, occasionally nuzzling my owners thigh as i shiver in anticipation. The first round ends, and my owner stands suddenly. Behind the blindfold, i hear a belt being undone. The snug leather muzzle is then pulled gently from my face. My owner holds my head still while they proceed to abuse my throat, fucking it like a toy while i gag and drool, tears running down my cheeks from the rough treatment.

The leather muzzle is wrapped back around my face once they dump their load deep in my throat. The next round starts. im antsy, eagerly gripping my owners thigh, nuzzling into their groin with little whimpers and whines, scared and excited for whats to come next.

It continues on. They fuck my tits, cumming all over my obscured face. The next round they force me to present my dripping boycunt for the entire round, which drags out entirely too long. As the rounds continue, i am spanked, coerced into revealing positions, my tail tugged on so they could laugh at my whimpers. My sensitive nipples are red from overstimulation, hard and perked.

By the final round, im being forced to cockwarm a toy thats far too large suction cupped to the ground. I had whimpered and groaned under my gag as i tried to take it, the head barely inside and my thighs alreadh quaking in overstimulation. My owner would just tut pitifully and grind the toe of their boot against my poor little tdick to watch me squirm. Sweet talking me, theyd eventually stand and cruelly place their boot heel on my upper thigh, forcing me to slide down on the lubricated appendage. I shook and squealed, thrashing uncontrollably as the burn filled my senses. My owner would soothe me, "Aww pretty puppy, shhh its ok, take it to the base and ittl feel so much better~"

I sit as still as i can, shaking and whimpering as they silently play the last round. I hear the console sign off. I sob in relief as i feel their warm, steady hands pull me up off of the toy, gently laying me out on our bed. they remove my muzzle and blindfold, grab a fistful of my hair, and make me watch as they split my hypersensitive cunt open on their cock, listning to my now unleashed screams and yelps as im overwhelmed by the sensations.

Theyll laugh cruelly as i do everything in my power to remain sane as they fuck me. I grip the sheets, the pillows, their arms, back, neck, chest, anything to keep myself grounded to the dizzying pleasure building in me. Their hands slap at my sensitive nipples and tdick, enticing a loud whimper from my lips.

Once theyre done slapping me around, they grasp my hips tightly, forcing my body to bounce against theirs as i come undone. I no longer fight for my sanity. I simply let it go and lose myself in the pleasure, my abused hole squirting all over their cock multiple times before they bottom out inside me, flooding my insides with their warm thick cum.

Id come down from my high to gentle kisses on my cheeks, soft hands wiping away my tears. Theyd hold me close, eventually helping me into a hot bath that we would enjoy together before i fall asleep in their arms <3

two birds with one stone

written for the 2023 carrie holiday fic exchange and for @scary-white!! hope you enjoy!!

sue comes up with the idea of going to the prom with one of tommy's friends so that both she and carrie can enjoy it, a decision that ends up saving her classmates' lives. (light carrie/sue/tommy. everybody lives and has a good time, novel accurate, etcetera :3)

Sue straightened the neckline of her dress, beginning to think that the polyester lace in her dress that she could feel brush against her skin so routinely would give her further troubles. There wasn’t much to focus on while inside the car, and all she could do at this point was hope that this wouldn’t be too overwhelming for the poor girl Tommy waited for at the door.

The two had made out outside the car, before picking anyone else up for the ride, like a kiss goodbye before they began things. That night, there would be no affection. Sue found it fair that way.

(wonder how theyll look together)

She had to admit, she wasn’t as much of a Christ figure as she thought she’d be on such an occasion: She caved in. One sunny sunday, two days after she’d hatched her plan, she called Tommy in his landline, and, after waiting for a minute or two for his mom to go ‘fetch him’, she asked a simple question: “Do you have any friends who don’t have a date for the prom?”

It wasn’t too selfish, she convinced herself. In a way, she’d just been giving another person the chance to experience a once-in-a-lifetime event that had been so widely discussed the entire year. But, ah, she was lying if she didn’t say she didn’t half do it just to listen to the bands playing, half slow music, half rock, feel the golden spotlight lights softly hit her hair, be absorbed by the overabundance of glitter cut out stars and crepe paper covering everything. This wasn’t just about herself

(she hoped she sure hoped she wasnt making it so)

but it was played out, in a way, so all would come out winning in the end. How bad could that possibly be?

After a few seconds of no answer, she felt like she had to jump in, explain herself further. “I’ve been thinking. You take Carrie. I take one of your friends with no date, I know you have at least one. We can spend the night together, Carrie will get to… well, have fun, and you’ll even be able to bring a buddy along…”

Tommy finally answered after what seemed like eternity, first with a chuckle, then “We’re doing the long haul, huh? I like your plan, though.” The guy he eventually settled on was Rodrick Wilson, a quarterback that, while mostly put as an emergency third, Tommy had an amicable relation with: “He’s really a nice guy if you get to talk to him, but, since he doesn’t talk much to girls, none of them wanted to ask him out and neither did he think of anyone,” he explained.

Susan, feeling like she had finally dropped a boulder that she’d been carrying before making the call, replied, “I’ll ask him when I see him.” and, as an addition, said “Thank you. I love you.” This time, the first sentence came out naturally, almost gleefully, like a child who’d gotten candy.

Tommy took a few moments to reply, taken aback. “I love you too.”

Neither had been this emotionally intimate before planning for the senior prom.

Sue’s proposal, on a rather slow and cloudy Tuesday, had gone a lot more smoothly than Tommy's had… or at least she liked to imagine it so. As Rod - how he was often called - sat down for the class that the two shared, she walked up to him and said, in the most casual, non-committal way she could manage, “If you don’t have a date, would you like to go to prom with me?”

The boy, who Sue noted had hair that appeared to be growing into what was meant to be a mullet but didn’t quite reach that point, cocked his head back in a lighthearted laugh that indicated he somewhat knew about what she and Tommy had been up to,

(oh god this was a bad idea)

then nodded and said, “Yeah, sure thing.” And that was the last of it. Sue went to her seat and class began as normal, surprised that at least half of the plan seemed to have gone well.

What was tough to endure, however, was the surprise that some made clear. Lots of people, of course, weren’t surprised and caught on to what was happening. But the ones that were, mostly girls, seemed to almost react to the rumours as if what the two had done was an impossible feat. One of these, of course, was Helen Shyres, when the Decoration Committee worked on the prom mural in the gym. “You and Tommy are going, right?”

“Yes,” Sue replied, as she painted a gorgeous sunset with orange coloured chalk. She made sure that it would be the most gorgeous Spring Ball that would ever exist. “but not together.”

Helen stopped drawing and the two looked at each other in silence, like Susan had just mentioned something unthinkable and profane. “Can I ask you about it, Sue? God, everyone’s talking.”

Sue stopped drawing. “Of course.” She put the chalk down and tried to beat off excess chalk from her hands, which were bright orange at this point. “I suppose I ought to tell someone. Tommy asked Carrie, so that she’ll get out of her own head a little, and I asked Rod because he just wanted to go but had no one to take him.”

There was a bit of an awkward silence, so, once more, she felt as if she should add some information to explain herself. “We’re still going to be together and have fun. We’ll even sit at the same table. We’re just wanting others to have fun, too. Besides… I owe Carrie this much.”

And, then, as she saw Carrie get inside Tommy’s Ford 1963, sitting next to her on the backseat, face half giddier than she had ever seen her before or ever, and half mortified, Sue couldn’t help but notice for the first time that she wasn’t hideous as people made her out to be. In fact, as they drove around in his car, street lamps casting shadows and illuminating her face all at once, she was quite gorgeous.

Her dark blonde hair, that she usually saw frizzy and styled for practicality, laid around her pale shoulders like a curtain. Her round face now seemed to be positively glowing, in a way, and even her dark eyes had more of a shine. Her full lips, she noted, were highlighted with a peach-coloured lipstick that suited her just right. Her figure, usually hidden away by cardigans and long skirts, was now accentuated - in almost every way, even if Sue didn’t quite pay attention to those things - by the beautiful, simplistic, dark red dress that she wore.

All she could say was, “Hi... Did Tommy tell you how stunning you look already?” Tommy, upon hearing that, seemed to smile and slightly nod, while driving. Carrie replied, timidly, “Yes, he did.” He didn’t lie.

The air in the gymnasium that night smelled heavily like synthetic fabrics, hairspray and crepe paper, but Sue didn’t mind. She was right, making the decision to still go to prom was worth it in her mind. She sat, with a glass of fruit punch, mostly people watching: It was a habit she often liked to do, especially in moments with as many people as this. The Honor Society had just begun collecting the votes for run off voting for Prom King and Queen, and, in some faces, she saw nervousness and anticipation for something, in others, boredom and contempt as their fellow students snatched the ballots from their hands.

Most importantly, her attention was redirected back to her table. They’d all collectively voted for Tommy Ross and Carrie White, as, when Tommy exclaimed, “Let’s vote for ourselves. To the devil with false modesty!”, Carrie laughed and

(oh she sounded cute)

immediately after, Susan followed with a lighthearted “Gee, I’m voting for you two as well. I just can’t compete like this.” When she looked over to her prom date’s ballot, he seemed to have done the same. Carrie giggled, before accidentally hurting herself with a splinter from her pencil after voting for herself. Susan’s eyes widened, but as Tommy began to comfort her, she couldn’t help but zone out as she figured things would probably be alright. He’d been treating her well the entire night.

She looked up. It wasn’t particularly remarkable: a regular gymnasium ceiling, but, if anything, she was drawn to it because of how unremarkable it was compared to how flashy the entire building looked, a sore for the eyes despite its beauty, what with the bright lights.

And then she noticed something.

There were two buckets above the lights that illuminated the stage.

Chris had gotten inside the gym during the Prom Committee decoration, and, as Sue’s mood soured as she watched her talk to Tina Blake - of course, the two were as close as they could get -, a question arose in her mind. “Helen?”

“Hmmm?”

“Are they going to do something?”

Helen’s face seemed to somewhat distort itself, and, like an actor in a play, she replied, sweetly, “I don’t know.” Overinnocent.

“Oh.” Sue replied curtly, taking note.

(you know you know something: accept something goddammit if it's only yourself tell me)

The two went back to colouring.

She hadn’t seen those buckets there before, though it could have just been a small detail that her brain left out. Why wouldn’t it? As she examined it more, however, she couldn’t help but notice how out of place they were.

It was then she noticed the rope and the pulley set up near them, looking like a strange Rube Goldberg machine, that she remembered not seeing them before. It could be confetti or something equally obnoxious of the sort, but, if it were, she would have seen it be set up by a classmate or two when aiding with decoration.

The rope led to underneath the stage, as she tracked it down, and it was then a familiar, but alien feeling creeped up. She didn’t worry the entire night about Chris and her kind showing up and doing something, but it was then that the feeling hit her once more, like a sharp chest pain.

“Excuse me,” she said, as she got up from her seat, looking at Tommy who looked back at her with a confused look on his face. “I have to see something.” She slowly walked towards the side of the stage, trying to avoid bumping into Tina Blake and Norma Watson, who shined with pride and walked around collecting the votes like hyperactive ants.

When she did, she then noticed there seemed to be at least some sound coming from under the stage, muffled by the dark mint faux leather curtains that seemed to have been there since 1954. That strange feeling overcame her once more, as if something was incredibly, terribly wrong, and she pulled the stage upholstery up.

(thats hargensen i knew it i fucking knew it)

Blood rained down on the empty thrones, without anyone to crown.

[okthatsgreat]

which of your ocs do you think you'd get along with irl? which do you think you absolutely would not be able to get along with, or who wouldn't like you?

GHBFSGBDFJH hiiiii whoever this is. i love u...................................................................................<3

im gonna do this list in order from MOST LIKELY to get along with to LEAST LIKELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! theyll be ranked on if i were to meet them in a relaxed environment which means NO killing game and NO dnd plot making their lives hell YAY!

sae: removed from a killing game scenario its reaaaaalllyyy hard to get her to not like you and also shes chill as fuck. she isnt my age but she'd give awesome advice and also i would definitely be texting her just to get back the most random bullshit from her brick phone. no notes here i have GOT to sit on a dock at night and talk shit with him

ryobe: so despite being the antagonist of his season outside of killing game stuff he is genuinely a very very fun person to be around!!!! also VERY easy to make laugh i think i could get along with this guy. now he is the greatest person to like idk Be Emotional to? not really but id have a great time taking him to go bowling. killing game scenario he'd be a lottttt lower

erin: you'll notice im splitting erin and pippy here because the answer is going to be very different LMFAO but erin and i would get alonggg :] she's real goofy and i need to introduce her to dnd i think she'd thrive there. also she's australian so if these people were real she'd have the best shot of being nearby. BONUS!

yoshito: he's just a nice guy :) but he's genuine about it like youre gonna notice a few of these ocs are nice but they tend to be rather surface level..... yoshito is for real a compassionate guy LMFAO. probably wouldnt share the EXACTTT same sense of humor as him and he's definitely one to pry a little into your personal business if he catches anything off about your behavior. which yknow sometimes is uncool but ultimately he's a good person so i cant imagine not liking him

naomi: heavy emphasis on this being a RELAXED scenario but i think we would be chill :) she's very awkward at first but i would think all her jokes are funny on account of being very easy to make laugh . we'd go play video games together. the dream. i do think our combined lack of ability to text people back will eventually kill us though GHFDHG

ruth: again not exactly my age and clearly busy being a mom but she's the type of woman who would have just absolutely fascinating stories to tell you at a family gathering before she slips away into oblivion again LMAO. but shes still pretty reserved and while i dont think i have any traits thats gonna make her hate my ass she also isnt gonna be super open with me so i cant see a super close relationship or anything LMAO. in my dream blunt rotation however. gotta get her on that dock with saeunn

mika: we're both average so she won't have a complex about anything, i can't imagine we'd be reaaallyyyyy close friends just because she doesnt have a very good sense of humour and she can be a bit blunt lmao. but we'd manage to get along if we were put in a group project or something

olli: MY FIRST DND OC TO MAKE IT HERE LMFAO i lovveeee making dnd/bg3 characters that would be terrible to hang out with in real life. olli is cool though id think they were funny. ill be very honest in saying that we arent gonna be lifelong pals or anything on account of how completely different our personalities are but they would be fascinating to spend a few days with. cant imagine theyd find anything about me they deem deplorable if anything they see my weak ass and vow to "shield me from thy wicked enemies" or something

billie: we'd be fine??? don't think we'd actively be making plans together on account of her being fifteen years old and really awkward

rie: we'd also get along but it's very surface level. she doesn't have much of a sense of humor unfortunately and we share very little interests!!! she's very lovely and all but there isn't much to connect over

andi: this is like. the true neutral point here because she truly is just siri

pippy: this is a character that is SUPPOSED to be really annoying to anybody that isn't an actual child and i do think i'd find that high energy difficult to keep up with lmaooo, also pippy wouldnt be making a huge effort to get to know me or anything! she's lots of fun though and definitely sweet

null: this one was hard ghfjgsdfkg. null is objectively very well-spoken, but this is often through blunt, unexpressive speech. not to mention they are very unnerving like i can not lie to you i would find them really off-putting at first. but the thing is they are up this high because i think they have longevity yknow.................. if im kind to it and give it a nice wave they will eventually mimic that wave back at me. i cant even explain it but i think we could get along. or maybe i am severely overestimating my abilities to talk to a cleric of a murder god but its whatever

sadie: okay so sadie is extremely charming. unfortunately she is extremely charming it's part of her character she is good at talking to people and i am not immune to this. i think sadie would be a lovely person to talk to a few times but hanging out with her for too long is eventually going to get me involved in some ungodly drama LMFAO. without a killing game level scenario to humble her she is going to get very annoying very quickly, and she VERYYY likely sees me as somebody easily manipulated

finnea: similar to sadie she is extremely charming, only put a knob lower due to how quick she is to disappear. would make little effort to truly get to know me and wouldn't make an effort to reveal anything about herself either, would kinda just make playful flirty comments that leave me going "oh yeah she seemed nice i guess"

nowhere: there's a bit of a jump here between finnea and nowhere i reckon because now we're getting into "i would probably dislike them initially" territory........ nowhere at the beginning of her story is like. an asshole LMFAO or at least she's just really loud and kinda abrasive and really doesn't make any effort to get to know people or help them. honestly most likely scenario is we both just say a blunt hi and then go our separate ways

elese: sigghhhhh it makes me so sad to say this it really does. but elese and i would not get along HGFKGSDJHJFKD shes dead last because i can say without a doubt we would both not like each other at first glance....... she would think she's of a much higher rank than me and i would find her very pretentious and cocky............... and if i was to be a little kind and say that this is POST character development elese we still dont have a whole ton in common unfortunately!! besides maybe music but even then she is very very classically trained... love her to death but it would not be fun meeting her in real life and that is why shes awesome <3

not art, but who's this girl who looks like homura? gonna do a theory here. long post here, so click on read more.

now, in the trailer for the new movie (about time!) we've seen this girl who looks like homura but at the same time is well, not homura. this shot below that everyone is using as profile pictures?

she so happens to be this second homura, as we can see in the next shot of her

this shot has her wearing the same black leggings that she is wearing in the key art as well as no ribbon, while the actual homura has black stockings and madoka's ribbon in her hair. minor detail but her hair appears to be more purple than homura's usual black, and the bangs are slightly different.

now theres a couple theories ive seen floating around. one is her being the homura who answers the phone at the start of the trailer. however, this homura wears a bow, meaning she is likely to be the original homura.

another theory is that she is a familiar of homulilly, given homura's familiars have been seen with her at the end of rebellion. this could works, but how would it relate to homulilly's funeral thing for homura to have a doppelganger?

alternatively, she could be a doppelganger for devil homura, as she probably can't do all her duties and be around Madoka full time. but, i have a theory which might be kinda wild but i want to share it.

what if this girl was Walpurgisnacht or at least, the girl behind the original witch that ended up fusing with other witches?

the movie clearly has something which is going to happen with Walpurgisnacht given the well, title, as well as the references to her in the trailer. but we don't really know WHAT her role in the movie is. so, could this girl possibly be Walpurgisnacht somehow managing to make it into homura's world? a plot of kyuubey perhaps? additionally, this form is similar to homura, and Walpurgisnacht does have quite a few similarities to homura. heres a list:

Homulilly and Walpurgisnacht look very similar, with their dresses and hourglass like shape. Their familiars also appear similarish.

Speaking of hourglass like shape, Walpurgisnacht and Kriemhild Gretchen both are designed to be two sides of an hour glass, with Homuras shield actually supposedly being/having a sand timer according to production notes. So, Walpurgis is directly tied to both Madoka through the hourglass, with Homura's hourglass tying all 3 of them together.

Walpurgis is described as symbolizing "the fool who continuously spins in circles". guess who else is associated with continuously spinning in circles?

Walpurgis' nature is helplessness. Homura probably felt helpless within the amount of timelines she went through.

why am i bringing these similarities up? well, to sort of explain why Walpurgis would be looking similar to Homura as a doppelganger. We dont know why or how this walpurgis girl is in Homura's world and what she wants. but its an interesting angle that i wanted to talk about. besides, if this is true, then im sure in the movie theyll be some reason to explain all this.

so yeah, thats my take on this and an idea of who this girl is, and others ideas as well. but, if you guys have any ideas, let me know. madoka is FULL of symbolism and all that jazz and all the theories that can come out of it is part of what makes this series great imo.

proud curly defender literally what was he supposed to do. its sad that he couldnt do anything but in no way is that his fault!!? theyre in the middle of space, his friend will 100% lash out if he confronted him in a more severe way than he did (he reacted to "lets figure this out together" with talking abour how theyll be remembered as a tragedy (crashing the ship)), and he couldnt lock him anywhere because theres like 3 locked places on the ship which are the cockpit (where he would crash the ship, and lock the captain out by putting him there), the medical room (all the medical supplies are in there!!) and the like storage room thing (they didnt want to and did not dare to open that until way after the crash.) . the only thing he could have done was kill jimmy, which would not only be kind of hard to shoot anyone period but youd have repercussions for when you get back. also then youd just have a dead body on the ship whicy they probably have no means of isolating/disposing of for the next like what 8 months? pleasw tell me what youd do in this situation if you blame him more than you blame jimmy

ALSO HE WAS GIVEN 2 DAYS TO PROCESS TBIS AND THINK OF A WAY TO FIX IT. THATS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO DO TJAT!! especially when tne answer to fixing it is nothing until they land back on earth at least

would it take away the fun of the game if i asked you to write out answers to all of them. otherwise 🕺

hi lauren i saved yours to do last so i could do alll the ones what havent been done yet 🙋

👽 Is your relationship with your F/O more gushy so you're both all over each other, or do you prefer some space every once in a while?

yes. all at once. theyre constantly on top of each other and also extremely prickly people who prefer to be left alone so. predictably there is a conflict here. neither of them are inclined to do anything about this so theyre just going to annoy each other forever and ever and ever.

🦝 What kind of presents or trinkets have you and your F/O gotten each other?

lots of random crap! theyre both fond of like toys and plush and random novelty garbage, especially the really kitschy "bought this at a gas station" type of things. they like to get each other stupid t shirts.

🕺 Do you and your F/O dance together?

YES FOREVER AND EVER. go listen to hooked on a feeling right now because its their song.

🧊 Have you and your F/O ever fought before? If so, how'd you get through it?

they fight all the time like its their job and they will either fuck or divorce or kill each other or all 3. eventually theyll get over it.

🤹 What's some of your favorite personality traits of your F/O's? And their's of yours?

i like that hes a cunt 🤭 my bitch ass wife who hates me but for real though. i like that hes blunt and mean and does whatever he wants. but also i really really like how silly he is i like his dumb tattoo and his stupid puns and his ugly plushies and the way he laughs at his own shitty one liners and i LOVED his announcer stuff from his event because he had those dumb nicknames and his shitty sports bro tendencies shone through and i like when he whimpers into the microphone. god. i like my beautiful hairy man who gets a bit pink and silly with it and i want to do things to him about it.

as for what he likes about fish i think hed find their hater tendencies fun. they just like to bitch about anything and everything and he can just kind of nod along and watch them go. i think these two also tend to get themselves into feedback loops when the mood is good because fish tends to spike really really high and get really really excited and hog gets into it when they do so i think theyd have a lot of fun by virtue of being each others #1 hypeman. ultimately i think they both just find the other really really fun when it comes down to it. they're capable of having a really good time together and they just meld in that way where things feel good to do just cuz theyre doing it togetherrrrr

🏚 If you had to pick the ideal place to surprise your F/O with a vacation to, where would it be?

i made this joke before but i think both of their ideal situations is just. secluded lake house fishing trip. dont talk to nobody or go anywhere and its just them sitting around and hanging out together like they always do. bcs theyre creatures of habit. or a theme park i think they could have a wonderful day at the amusement park.
