maybe my mac n cheese was a failure but I had enough yarn for all the granny squares I needed so it balances out
#both have caused me pain either way!!#though in crochet’s defense#that’s entirely my fault because I don’t know when to stop#and I’ll just keep going if my hands/wrists start hurting#anyway

Further quilting delayed until the AC gets fixed because I, someone who has a long track record of doing very badly when it gets too hot, forgot I handle heat exceptionally badly I thought I'd been having an allergic reaction on and off for like two weeks now, and was concerned about why benadryl wasn't working well, but the overlap between "beginning stage allergic reactions" and "starting to overheat" for me is like a circle. Good news is the AC is still working downstairs, more or less, so I'll just camp out downstairs until it's fixed. Bad news is all my sewing stuff is upstairs and difficult to move, so that's delayed Also, and I wish I was joking about this: I've been having pretty bad muscle cramps (because of the dehydration from overheating), so I've been using hot water bottles. Like. All the time. That did not help lol
#the person behind the yarn#I'll crochet instead or something#but oh my gosh. I feel ridiculous#I KNOW I handle heat extremely poorly#part of my dysautonomia is being spectacularly bad at temperature regulation#the symptoms (in case anyone is curious): headache. nausea. weird blood pressure#in my defense (limited though it is): my new meds mean my blood pressure doesn't drop in the heat the way it used to#so I am no longer wilting like a sad flower whenever temperatures get over 80 degrees#but I failed to realize that 'not wilting' doesn't mean 'not negatively affected'#good news is I am not allergic to my iron pills! which was my other theory!

the beautiful thing about crochet is that if you make it big enough, any blanket will become a weighted blanket
#and if you fold it enough times? brother you have a certified panini press on your hands#i made an afghan that covers a queen and i've folded it 6 times and i'm feeling something like peace for the first time in a week#it's technically not done but i've been using it unfinished for almost 2 years i think she's fine#(i really should finish her though i feel kinda bad but in my defense the yarn is SO fucking tangled now)#anyway highly recommend crochet i <3 fiber crafts forever and ever amen#a post

Proseka headcanons
-as rui’s childhood friend, nene has extensive fire safety knowledge
-shizuku is adopted, hence why she looks so different from shiho. she was adopted shortly before the moon rabbit event and it contributed to her clinginess
-shiho forgets this fact sometimes. she’ll casually mention something like shizuku got all mom’s good genes so unfair and ichika has to be. um. shiho
-kanade is mildly nearsighted/myopic but spends so much time at her computer she hasn’t noticed
-emu is buff. she climbs multiple stories without breaking a sweat and is canonically part of the swimming, handball and rhythmic gymnastic clubs, you can’t tell me she doesn’t have some muscle
-saki helps out as a human notepad for tsukasa, reminding of him things he would otherwise forget within 5 minutes
-the vocaloids also help. at first it was unnerving to have hatsune miku be an extension of his psyche that knows his darkest secret (stole saki’s candy when he was 6) but now his phone has a more reliable catgirl themed reminder system
-you know that classic nightmare of leaving the house without pants? tsukasa has legitimately done that as a kid. he forgor. (saki will never let him live it down)
-in the kamiyama student council/hall monitor room, an has put up at sign saying “_ days since last kamishiro incident”
-the shinonome siblings both figured out the other one was gay before they figured it out about themselves
-airi’s great at trivia from her time as a variety show star. she still can’t beat minori at idol trivia, though
-ena keeps a diary with fort knox level security. try to read it and you’ll lose a finger
-saki learned to crochet from the old ladies in the hospital
-shiho’s most treasured phenny is a somewhat lumpy crocheted phenny holding a very lumpy crocheted bass guitar
-tsukasa snores. he falls asleep in 10 seconds and sounds like a dying lawnmower
-mizuki has learned a small bit of french from their sister and uses it exclusively to teach rui and an how to swear in french
-emu still celebrates her grandfather’s birthday, even if he’s not there to celebrate with her
-ena is allergic to dogs, the middle point to airi’s cat allergy and akito’s dog phobia
-rui has various small scars from his experiments over the years, but nobody ever believes the real causes (rocket launcher, robot bite, exploding balloon animal, etc.) so he just makes up a new cause every time someone asks
-mmj! has had repeated incidents of minori and airi’s little siblings walking into frame when streaming at their houses. shiho understands the concept of a livestream but has still been caught failing at creeping past like that one new broadcast of the guy crawling along the floor
-kanade has pots & eds, this one I have a reason for look at her symptoms. chronic exhaustion, heat and cold intolerance, comorbid sleep issues and depression, dizziness when standing up, fainting after standing up, very pale skin, family history of medical issues, pain at normal physical activities, exercise intolerance, vertigo at mild exertion, she just fucking dies during the entire baseball event, I could go on. she canonically gets pain in her hands from opening a jar girl that is not just being out of shape that is physical disability. this one I will go conspiracy board on listen to me I’m right
-kohane ate bugs as a kid. an is horrified, toya is confused, akito is impressed
-ena and airi got in trouble in middle school because they’d keep starting fist fights in defense of the others honor. if they saw the other in a fight they’d jump in guns blazing no hesitation no questions ask ready to throw the fuck down
-vbs!rin and len were given a skateboard by an and then promptly had the skateboard confiscated by meiko for property destruction
-haruka is horrible with slang. she asks the stream chat what poggers means and immediately uses it completely wrong, killing all viewers on impact
-minori is torn between thinking it’s cute and wanting to die
-toya has been banned from arcades before because he made them lose too much money/they suspected he was cheating
-ena brought kanade over for girls night and nearly scared akito half to death because he went down to get a late night snack and there was some Ghastly Creature looming in his kitchen
-kohane's parents stick out like a sore thumb when going to her live shows. it mortifies her that everyone on vivid street can recognize them as the only milquetoast middle aged couple dressed in normal clothes loudly going YOU'RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE that don't know the first thing about music
-minori knows basic programming. she mostly uses it for forums, blogs, html, other web design things usually related to idols as a hobby, but she's become the groups designated anti-shizuku tech support
-mafuyu has always been able to see ghosts but after adults figured she was just playing pretend as a kid so she shrugged and figured it was normal and not worth bringing up again
-honami has one of those massive extended families and somehow keeps track of them all. at any given time cousin #57 can crawl out of the woodwork and she remembers their new job, favorite food, past three romantic relationships and list of allergic reactions
-mizuki does doll customizing as a hobby. they prefer making human sized clothes, but it's fun to make them miniature too. they've introduced shizuku to it and she loves it, but doesn't have the heart to do anything that would hurt the doll (sawing limbs off, dunking them in boiling water, shoving wires in them, etc.)

<---------- back to my youth
<---------- back to main masterlist
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
profile
in real life
Name: Louisa Flora Fenby
Nicknames: lou, flo, lisa, bee
Birthday: 28/06/2003
Birthplace: Rochdale, England
Nationality: english-filipino
Languages: English (fluent), Tagalog (some), Korean (learning)
Family: mum, dad, younger brother, pet cat
Height: 5'5
Personality traits: bubbly, trusting, thoughtful, imaginative, sensitive, defensive, naive
Hobbies: singing, producing, crochet, upcycling clothes
Faceclaim: beabadoobee
Likes: stray kids, kpop, sunny weather, giving gifts to people, cooking, dark chocolate (her fav), gherkins in her burger, green (fav colour), late night walks, long baths, cats
Dislikes: confrontation, brussel sprouts, sparkling water, moths, snakes, socks on in bed, big crowds
idol life
Stage name: sunny
Nicknames: sun, sunshine, flower, aegi sun
After hearing Louisa's full name and learning her middle name was 'Flora', the members soon understood that it was linked to flowers. Due to her bright personality she was compared to a sunflower, thus creating the nickname Sunny.
Fans gave the nickname 'aegi sun' to Louisa after partnering her with Felix as the sunshine duo. Being the younger one she is naturally babied.
Positions: lead singer, sub dancer, producer
Lou is not as confident in her dancing skills but is working on them as much as she can, she still enjoys doing it though. Her voice shines through as a softer time that can break through and stand out in Stray Kids' often fiercer songs. This doesn't mean that all the songs she produces are all sweeter, her own music that she creates follows this pattern but she loves to engage in helping 3RACHA experiment in louder bombastic sounds.
Aesthetic: bubblegrunge
Debut Date: March 25th 2017
Company: JYP
Training Period: 2 years
Habits: making random noises, hair flips, randomly singing, stumbling on her words, biting her thumb, full body laughs, tapping her hands to music, zoning out
Known for/as:
Pinky gap
Sunny has a gap between her pinkies that is visible when she presses her hands together. This is because both of them curve outwards. Fans were the first ones to notice and ever since it's been seen as another endearing quality of the girl.
Minsung's daughter
When you see Sunny you'll not see Lee Know or Jisung too far behind. Often in lives she's been spotted leaning against one of them or even falling asleep on them sometimes. They care a lot for the girl and their almost parental roles towards her only solidified the ship of Minsung more.
Sunshine duo
One of her most noticeable features is the freckles that are very visible on her face. Naturally she is partnered with Felix for sharing the same quality, as well as their bright personas.
Bright smile
Sunny's smile is one of her most charming points that both fans and members love. There are moments where people have commented on it because of how it entrances them, such as on Kingdom, Music Bank, and in music videos too.
Producer mode
During solo lives or behind the album videos, when Sunny goes into producer mode, you'll know. She doesn't become strict or lost in her own mind, but instead she is exciteable and tries out lots of different sounds, melodies or lyrics to fit the concept she is creating. These ideas that she comes up with bounce off of members and can be the foundations of some of Stray Kids' most successful songs. On lives fans watch in awe at how her brain is able to come up with such cool sounds and merge them together.
Trying tiktok dances
As said before, Sunny isn't the most confident in her dancing, but that doesn't stop her from trying different tiktok dances and impulsively posting them - she knows stays will love them either way. She likes trying new kpop dances or ones that are viral too. The video she did dancing to Blackpink's Shutdown is her most recent video she posted on the group account, and it caught a lot of attention.
Soft voice
Sunny has a voice that people love and can't stop listening too. She is quite soft spoken, but that doesn't stop people from absorbing every word. Being in a group as loud as Stray Kids, she still manages to make herself heard, especially when it's random statements or jokes that she's sharing.
Random statements
"Bang Chan tried to crowdsurf and then he fell but he got stuck because his ass is too fat."
"Sunny?! What?!"
"I should shut up now."
'British Queen'
Sunny comes from a town in Manchester, her Northern accent only making her more charming to her fans. And of course with one of her 'dads' being Han, the British comments from stays were at an all time high in moments he adopted the same accent.
'he's learning from his daughter'
'Sunny's accent is rubbing off on Han ahahaha'
'since when was aegi sun teaching her parents how to speak british??'
'Comedy Queen'
Even her energetic moods were enough to get the members into a fit of giggles, let alone the strange noises she'd make or her random one liners.
"Bleurrgh"
"Sunny we don't know how to translate that one."
~
"Sweet home Alabama..."
"Sunny sssshhhhh"
The members definitely loved their sun a lot, and she always managed to surprise them whether it was with her talent, her humour or with little gifts she'd make them too.

NICE TO MEET YOU — JJ MAYBANK (PROLOGUE)
summary: For much of his teenaged life, JJ has had it easy when it comes to charm. You turn out to be a formidable opponent.
length: 2.7k
contains: uhhh drinking beer?? (gross tbh!), actually pretty PG, warning for JJ being a whiny little brat and a little mean to his friends and a bit of a dork (it's painful but we love him...maybe), NOT proofread ok be nice
masterlist | next
“JJ, are you gonna go up to her? Or just keep staring at her like a creep?”
He almost doesn’t hear Kiara, and maybe he wouldn’t have if it weren’t for John B hitting him in the back of the head.
“Ah—what the fuck, man?” JJ bats John B away before answering to Kie. “I’m not staring. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.” He takes another sip from his beer and puts his weight on his free hand.
This isn’t his usual routine—there’s a certain thrum in his veins that tells him tonight has a little more weight to it than he’s used to. His usual routine, of course, is simple: go to kegger, find a touron, flirt with her, engage in some…precarious activities, bid farewell when morning comes (or, if he gets lucky, before dawn). There’s never been any issue. It’s fun, he’s young, he’s a good-looking guy, all parties are willing.
But now you have caught his eye, and he’s not sure if this routine will be able to keep up.
“I think you do,” Sarah insists. “We all know you’re checking her out.” His face stays blank, so she pushes him further. “Come on, JJ. With the crochet bikini top and the red converse?”
“They’re brown, actually—”
“Oh, so you are staring. Got it.”
The rest of the group laughs at JJ’s expense, and he has to admit he did walk right into it. He’s just…off his game.
He shoots up from his seat anyway, downing the last of his beer in an attempt to build up some courage. “I’m gonna go up to her.”
Pope raises his brows. “Right now?”
The blonde jumps, shakes out his limbs, gets the blood flowing. “Right now.”
“Oh,” Kie quips.
He points back at her, still psyching himself up. “Shut up, Kie, you started this.”
She lifts her hands up defensively, and John B jumps in again. “You gonna start walking over there, or…?”
JJ turns his head, eyes you sitting alone on a piece of driftwood. “Yep. Gonna do that now.” Another couple jumps and a shake of his head for good measure. A deep, exaggerated breath. He points to Kie and says, “Fuck you,” then Sarah, “Fuck you,” then John B, “And fuck you,” though there’s no real malice in his words. He starts taking hastened steps backwards, and lends a quick wave as he calls out, “Love you, Pope!”
If the pogues say anything in response, he doesn’t hear them.
A breeze casts through his hair as he walks over to you, and his nerves are on the rise again. It takes twenty paces before he’s seriously regretting this gusto, another five before he considers turning around, a painful ten more, until he’s close enough to be officially approaching you and it’s too late. His pulse is pounding in his ears. You’re wearing a crochet bikini top as Sarah described, loose lightwash shorts covering the bottom half of the set, and have brown converse on, as he thought. There’s a glow to your skin that makes him think you came straight from the beach.
You pay him no mind until he’s looking over you, five feet away. “Hi.”
Are you talking to him? (Yes, you are—you’re looking straight at him.)
“Hey,” he answers, gesturing to your makeshift seat. “Can I sit?” He’s more antsy now that he’s getting a close up view. He runs a hand through his hair to at least do something to hide it.
“Be my guest.” You move to the side and tap the space next to you, looking up and giving him a smile he could die for.
It takes him a second to process he’s gotten this far. “Thanks,” he says. When he does sit down, his knee nearly brushes past yours.
“And what brings you to this side of the party?”
“I don’t know,” he shrugs—lie. “You seemed…uh, interesting?” As soon as the words come out they leave a bad taste in his mouth. Since when is he so bad at this?
“Interesting? Jeez,” you laugh, “And here I was thinking I had a cute boy approach me to flirt.” You brush your hair out of your face, looking off to the ocean as a distraction. The sun has long since set, but there’s still a twilight glow to the sky.
“Wait, wait—that’s not what I meant.” He shifts his body to face you, a hand hovering by your knee as if he needs that physical connection to make you hear him. “It came out wrong. I’ve just never seen you around, y’know?”
“I guess we have that in common, huh?”
He’s sure he’s already fucked this up, and he can’t help but curse himself for it. Hidden somewhere—maybe in your snarky tone, or your emerging smirk, he also thinks there’s a chance. “Yeah,” he says, taking a deep breath. “Yeah.” He has to shoot a look over to his friends, who are oh so attentive to this initial meeting. It would be too embarrassing to return so soon. “Did I fuck this up already? Should I leave?”
It’s your turn to observe him, now. The pensive look on his face, the fidgety hands, the toned arms. What’s the worst that could happen? “No, you can stay. We can start over if you’d like.”
He nods his head, his muscles relax. “Okay.”
“Okay,” you agree, offering him your hand and your name.
“JJ,” he offers you in return, taking your hand in his for a respectable shake. This could work, he thinks.
“Nice to meet you.” You smile and let go of his hand. He’s cute, you think.
“Nice to meet you, too.” His hand still buzzes even after touching you. “Do you live on the island?” Please say yes, please say yes.
“Only in the summers I do. My grandparents’ house. I’m guessing you do, though?”
A piece of his heart drops, but not entirely. “Yeah—how’d you know?”
“It’s not the type of question someone asks if they’re only here for vacation; they usually just assume your stay is temporary too.” You shrug. “Just my experience.”
“Huh.” He nods his head as if you’ve bestowed upon him a revelation. “How long’ve you been coming here, then?”
“Oh, I can’t even remember. Maybe since I was five?”
“Really.” He can’t fight off the smile that emerges, and he doesn’t even know why. This isn’t any extraordinary conversation, this isn’t something he hasn’t done before, yet he’s more nervous than he’s ever been talking to a girl. “Where at?”
You smirk, instinctively turning your body towards him the slightest bit. Much like when he first sat down, your knees almost touch. “Not far from here, two miles tops, on the water. Why, you wanna stalk me or something?”
He smiles back at you. “No—”
“Really? Even though I’m interesting?” You start to think you’ll never get tired of teasing this boy, especially if it means seeing that smile and the dimple that follows.
He turns away and ducks his head down, hiding his embarrassment. “I thought you said we could start over?”
You make a thoughtful face as if you were mulling over his words, and you can feel his gaze on you. “I did say that, didn’t I? Hm, guess I forgot.”
“Guess so,” he agrees, leaning back and putting his weight into his arms.
“Your turn to make it even.” You push lightly against his shoulder as you jest. God, those arms. “Where can I stalk you?”
“Uh…” He laughs to himself, embarrassment more genuine this time. His eyes shoot up to the sky to avoid yours. How much should he tell? “You, uh…you don’t want to know that.” And that’s already more than enough. He doesn’t do this—he shouldn’t, really. He knows that this is how bad decisions start, and from there comes even worse consequences.
You furrow your brows. “What do you mean?”
No answer. Sure, he’s had his share of girls over at The Chateau, but being poor isn’t necessarily something you throw at the nearest girl you’ve got your eye on. Especially, he thinks, not one with a smile like yours.
Your voice goes a bit softer, still curious. “Are you on The Cut?” You lean a little closer, dropping your head on the shoulder closest to him, nearly on his own. He smells of beer and the beach and a bit of amber.
When he turns to face you, he’s not even six inches from kissing you. His jaw goes slack as he thinks over your question—which seems like the millionth of the night, and he’s sure he’d take a million more if time would allow—and his eyes work their way around your face, trying to burn it into his memory. If he tells you the truth, you might go, but he’s got a strong feeling that you’d find out about a lie.
“I know we don’t even know each other,” you start, taking in a breath that seems to justify gazing at his lips for a little too long for only having met minutes ago, “But I’d hope you wouldn’t pin me as the type to judge.”
He scoffs, turning again to avoid the feeling in his gut when you hold eye contact—like you can read from him things he doesn’t know himself. “I didn’t pin you as anything, princess.” There’s an edge to his voice he doesn’t really mean, some spite in the name princess, and he curses himself again. This shouldn’t be so hard.
Before you give him a quip, you turn your eye to a group of teens, two boys and two girls, who seem to be watching you and JJ. They look at you, then to each other, point here and there, then giggle. You figure they notice your attention, because soon enough they’ve already stopped, instead stifling laughter amongst themselves.
“JJ, I know I just said I’m not the type to judge, but I really hope those aren’t your friends over there watching us.”
This time, his heart does drop entirely. Is this a fucking joke? His first thought is that you're mistaking some nosy tourons for his flock, but lo and behold, those terrible four are his friends, and he sees for himself their scheming.
“What the fuck…” he mumbles to himself. He gives you a sympathetic look, aware of how this might appear. “I’m sorry, I don’t know why they—they’re just really annoying sometimes.” He pauses his rambling for a moment to flip them off. “I know this looks bad, I get that—”
“Oh, it does,” you add, fueling the fire that is his panic.
But then you’re laughing, joking about how panicked he looks, and he has another million questions to ask because why are you laughing when he looks like a fucking douchebag right now?
“I don’t really care, though, if it makes you feel better.” You lend him a smile as you check your watch. “I should be heading home, anyway.”
Fuck. “Why?” He knows how desperate he sounds, but he only just met you, and he’s already made a fool of himself. Twice.
You press your hands to your knees as you sit up. “It’s late, and I’ve got a curfew I already missed.” He’s wearing a pleasing look as you peer down on him, his hand wavering out to grab yours. “It was nice to meet you. Tell your friends I say hi.”
Why couldn’t he have talked to you earlier? He doesn’t think so much before doing it—he jolts up from his seat and grabs your hand, gently. What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck am I doing right now? “Can I at least get your number?”
You take a few steps back, testing his reach and his adamance to keep you tethered for more. This could be fun. “No,” you chirp. “I don’t give my number to strangers.” You slip your hand from his and turn around, feet digging into soft sand as you make your escape, though you’re coy enough to give him a half-turn and a barely-there wave.
You’re ten paces away when he finally comes to his senses. “What if I want to see you again?” he calls after you, trying to make himself heard over the commotion (oh, how stupid it all is to him now) and the music playing (nobody wants to hear that, anyway). He feels a force gluing him in place, like you’ll disappear if he follows.
“You’ll figure it out!” you shout back over your shoulder. You pick up your pace, leaving JJ with nothing more than a silhouette to seek and a name to your face.
He’s stuck in place, mouth open as if he were to plead for you to come back. In his hand he swears he can still feel your touch, or the electricity you left behind, at least. He pictures how close you were, how he could’ve taken your lips in his, how he could’ve cradled your jaw in his hands and made him yours for that moment.
What the fuck just happened? What is he doing?
He quickly snaps out of this daze. He had your attention for—what, five minutes? Ten if he’s generous? This isn’t like him, to be caught up on another one getting away. That’s all it was: another one. He’s sure that he’ll find another girl another night, and he’ll forget whatever this was. Was—past tense, a good old friend.
Running a hand through his hair, he takes in the breeze again before turning back to the pogues. There’s levity in his steps, his previous anxiety gone. He figures this is a good thing, in fact—he doesn’t need his summer marred by a relationship that isn’t even meant to be.
As JJ walks closer, Pope makes a face at him, lifting his hands by his shoulders in confusion. “What happened over there?”
JJ shrugs, offers little unrest. “Nothing, man. Talked her up a bit…” He trails off, casting an over the shoulder glance to your former location.
“And…?” Sarah continues.
Kie sips her beer and smiles to herself. “We tried to see what was happening—”
“Yeah, well that much was obvious—” JJ snaps, huffing as he sits next to Pope for being the least offensive of the bunch— “She saw you guys.” He snatches up a rock by his feet and turns it in his hands.
The group knows better than to push him when he’s like this—not when they want to enjoy the rest of the night, at least. John B, Sarah, and Kie resume their conversation about some touron group they'd witnessed earlier, and JJ finds himself filled with disinterest at the thought of listening, even on its periphery. He throws the stone back into the sand and takes a helping of beer when Pope offers it.
There’s an elbow nudging his side, followed by Pope’s voice. “You alright?”
He shrugs, makes a sour face. “Yeah, she was cool, ‘s all.”
Pope’s brows twist in confusion. “That girl you met?” He waits for the other to nod his head. “You get her name at least?”
JJ nods again. “Not like I’ll see her again. She said she’s been here every summer since she was little, and it was only now that I saw her.”
“So?” He pats JJ’s back, hard enough to hopefully knock some sense into him. “You wanna see her again, right?”
He takes a sip, shrugging again. “Not really.” Another sip, a glance to and fro.
“I mean, odds are that you will eventually run into her, might as well be expecting it.”
He scoffs, lending Pope a smile to show his incredulity. “Odds are, I won’t. And I’d prefer to keep it that way.” He tilts his head back with his cup against his lip, downing the last of his beer and the taste of a fib. Or two. Or three.
JJ accepts that he drew the short straw for the night. All he has left of you is a name and a face and a feeling, and if he knew better, he wouldn’t press his luck. Because truthfully, the odds don't seem to be in his favor.

Okay, you wanted asks.
What is your favorite headcanon about Sky?
What would he do if he found out he was related to Legend ( and not currently imprisoned and in danger like in that fic)? Would he be happy or sad that another of his descendants had to suffer his fate?
Get well soon!
Favorite Sky headcannon? Golly, I have a lot, but one that makes me really happy is that he and his family are all really good at fiber arts, and while he's not much for knitting/crochet, he is amazing at embroidery. Like, he genuinely enjoys it,a ND he can and will add embroidery to almost any piece of fabric you give him unless it will cause direct problems to do so.
I also like the idea that he tries to write poetry, is abysmally bad at it, knows he's bad at it, but still tries <3
-
As for the Legend thing. If he'd found out in better circumstances, with the framework of "guess who's your descendant!" rather than "because I'm your descendant, I have a price on my head" he probably would have taken it better.
I really think Sky wants kids. Not right now, of course, since he and Sun are both dealing with a lot and adding a small child to the mix would be terrible, but they definitely dream of having a house full of little ones one day. While he's a bit young to suddenly be the ancestor to a teenager, the confirmation that he'll be a dad, and also meeting a descendant who's as great as Legend is would be very precious to him. In better circumstances, and maybe stumbled into rather than laid bare in all the bloody detail, I think Sky would be ecstatic after he got past that initial shock of "crap I'm a dad".
Now, it would be a bit weird of course, because he'd see Time being a dad to his descendant and have a bit where he had to figure out his relationship with Legend again, trying to find balance knowing that they're family and thus that he's "supposed to be the adult", but considering Legend's pretty well grown (or at least acts as though he is most of the time), I think, give time, space and a healthy environment, they'd sort of just decide to be friends instead except on the rare occasion where it actually becomes relevant. They're pretty close in age after all, so trying to parent someone only a few years younger would be weird for both of them. Now, if Legend needed a safe person Sky'd jump in, and yeah, he probably gets more defensive and worries ore for Legend than he would have before, because there's no direct responsibility, but I think he'd be okay at not becoming stifling or pushy about it.
I do actually intend to play with this dynamic in the Crown Amidst Courage fic I'm writing, and sort of did the same in the Feathered AU, so I definitely will be releasing content soon for these two (Sky is currently ranking as my #3 and I am getting majorly attached rn LOL)
Thanks for the ask!!!!

chance
the amazing digital circus: jax x gn!reader
contents: ambiguous relationship [1.5k]
IN WHICH: you might have an idea on how to escape.
❝ if there was a chance to escape, wouldn't you take it? ❞
"And I mean this in the most lovingly, sugar coma-inducing way I could put it, no f̶̢̢̣̳̜̼͈͚̭͖̈́͊u̷̧̝͉̼̼̽c̷̲̘̙̖͇̳̀̑̈́̈́͗̓̑͘̚k̴͍̘̩̝̟̎̀͋̑̎i̷̫͓͈̒n̵̛̲̩̩͓̮͎̙͍̺̓̃̒̎̄̿͠g̸̲̬̍̃͘ way."
The rabbit softly picked at the side of his yellow teeth with the pinky finger of his glove boredly, a cheeky grin tugging at the ends of his mouth at your frustrated sigh.
"You haven't even heard what I was gonna ask!"
You both were chatting in your designated room, the whole theme soft and vibrant with thin fabrics flowing from the ceiling with twinkling lights that intertwined carefully. Your bed was a colorful arrangement of stitched pillows and thick blankets, plushes of antique dolls contently piled together.
Beside your bedframe was a small white mirror with a slight crack in the middle of the reflective glass- One that you rarely glanced at since your arrival a few months ago. You would hardly recognize yourself even if you did now.
You had been warped into the appearance of a marionette.
"And I know whatever it is- is trouble." Jax smoothly hummed with a small chuckle as he fiddled with one of the crocheted dolls that rested on your bed. Jax had his lean frame sitting lazily on the edge of your quilted blanket before placing his hands behind his head with a wide shit-eating grin settling on his lips. "As pretty as you are, sweet cheeks, it ain't worth it."
Crossing over your wooden arms at his demeanor, you jabbed one of your fingers towards the middle of his soft pink overalls, his long ears slightly bending at the sudden poke. "When have you ever been one to turn down some mischief?" You teased with a laugh mingling in your tone, "What have you done to my Jax, huh?"
Clicking his tongue, the rabbit simply closed his bright yellow eyes, bringing the back of his palm towards his forehead with a dramatic sigh before throwing his head onto the middle of your lap, "Consider me a changed rabbit- I'm as holy as they get now."
You brought the thin strings that attached to your arms to the center of his face, watching as his expression scrunched up with a small giggle stifling, "As if-" You mused out.
Blinking with a quiet laugh, the purple rabbit had a lazy wink spread across his smooth fur, "Alright, humor me. Hey, I might even laugh a little." He finally chuckled, one of his ears quickly flapping comedically straight up, "What were you gonna ask lil ole me?"
Even though you had only known Jax for a few months, the guy had been sweet despite his sarcasm and dripping with ease for the chaotic world that surrounded him. You guys had gotten close and had conversations amongst yourselves, Jax confessing about his previous life outside the circus. Despite having a rough upbringing and becoming homeless after getting kicked out of his foster home, he was excited to start a new life on his upcoming birthday.
If there was anyone to share your feelings about, it was him.
"I want to try to escape." Your smooth fingertips dug into the fabric of the spotted black & white trousers you wore with a quick breath, your dull eyes flickering towards the ceiling to avoid his wandering gaze, "I want to make an actual attempt, and I need your help-"
Snickering, Jax casually rose from your lap, the thick pricks of his eyes glimmering in amusement, "Cute and a comedian!" Tapping the side of his cheek with his pointer finger with a lazy grin, he sighed, "Aren't you just adorable?"
"Jax! I'm being serious!"
Raising both of his gloved hands to his chest defensively, Jax's narrow shoulders hunched up with a mingling laugh, "Woah! Don't get your strings in a twist, sugar! So am I! Look, my brow is even furrowing."
"Won't you even try to listen to my idea?"
"An idea? So it ain't even a plan?"
"Not yet- but-"
"No then."
Rising from the edge of your bed with a sigh, your wooden fingertips hand curled into your palm. With a quick snap of your wrist, the edges of your wool locks of hair slipped by the sides of your perked ears that had become warm at his brashness.
"I knew it!" Your thick fingers quickly pinched the bridge of your nose with a sharp laugh escaping your breath, "You won't even take the chance that something might be out there?"
The rabbit's large eyes flickered across your furrowed expression back and forth, his own smile slightly faltering. He had begun to rise to his feet, his lean frame towering over yours with his thumbs jammed into the pockets of his worn-out overalls.
"You saw what happens when people do, [y/n]."
Finally releasing the bridge of your scrunched nose, your head shook with a snappy laugh dripping from the ends of your painted lips, "I knew I shouldn't have bothered to ask you about this!-" You whispered with a slight hiss, bringing your hands closely to the ruffled fabric of your chest with a soft laugh, "All of our friends are slowly going insane and you can't even pretend to remotely care-"
"Don't." His voice had finally shot out, instead of the smoothness of his easy-going voice that would mingle, his gloved finger pressed against the surface of his chest with his pale-yellow teeth gritted, "Don't you dare say I don't care. Because outta everyone here, I probably care the most."
You had blinked at his sudden tone shift before you brought the palm of your hand to your forehead with a small smack, sarcasm seething from your words that itched from the back of your throat. "Right! You care the most!" Your smooth lips curled up into a strained smile, "I nearly laughed myself there! You sure seemed to care when half of our friends got tossed into the cellar-"
His hand had shot above the space behind you, firmly placing it on the plush wall at the lingering sentence that failed to escape your burning lips. He had cornered you. The lazy drawl that usually occupied his expression stiffened as Jax looked down at you with a faint scoff.
"It might not look like it, Toots, but I actually do give a f̶̢̢̣̳̜̼͈͚̭͖̈́͊u̷̧̝͉̼̼̽c̷̲̘̙̖͇̳̀̑̈́̈́͗̓̑͘̚k̴͍̘̩̝̟̎̀͋̑̎." His ears had curled up before shaking his head with a slight breath, "Just because nobody bothered to ask doesn't mean I don't care."
Jax lowered his expression, his shoulders slightly tensed before clicking his tongue once more- "But we are stuck here, don't you get it? Stuck. It's been years and no one has managed to escape or literally gone mad tryna escape this place. My friends, [y/n]."
Your room had grown quiet, only the faint lingers of the music box that resided in your room quietly humming as the bright red paint had begun to chip off. Your button eyes had flickered to his cold expression, the ends of his pale teeth peeking through.
With his other hand, Jax had brought his gloved fingertips underneath his round chin, tapping it dramatically with a small hiss, "If I act like everything is fine and no biggie, it might give everyone some more time from going abstract, even if I have to lie through my teeth."
Finally, he had removed his large hand from the surface of the wall behind you, before dropping his head to the edge of your shoulder with a 'thud!' "I can't lose any more friends" The rabbit whispered carefully, turning his head slightly to examine your quiet frame with a light smile, "I can't lose you."
Resting your back against the wall with a soft sigh, your hands lingered by the back of his head with a glimmer of tears surrounding the edge of your buttons, "Jax, I'm sorry about what I said." You breathed out, resting the tip of your chin on the top of his head for a moment with a small crack. "I just really want to go home."
Jax's long ears had slightly flattened under your chin, his breathing soft before quickly adjusting the small wrinkles of his overalls and returning to his height, your bright round eyes staring at his with a quick blink.
"Tell me."
"Huh?"
Casually stuffing his hands into the pockets of his overalls once more, the rabbit had lazily shrugged with ease, a small nod shot down to you, "Tell me about this idea you got, alright?" He repeated, his head slightly cocked to the side "And I'll help you-"
"Really?"
He punctuated his sentence with a light jab to your chest.
"Under one condition."
His eyes warmly flickered to you, remaining focused on the soft scrunch of your eyebrows.
"If it don't work out, you gotta give up on tryna leave this place together."
His smile had remained lopsided, with a single hand extended carefully for you to shake on the deal, his eyebrow slightly twitched. Your words remained burning on the tip of your tongue, lingering across your lips.
He would help you.
As long as you agreed, he would actually help you.
With a lopsided smile, your hand had smoothly reached for the warmth of his hand.
"Deal."
a/n: this is a blurb bc i can't help but adore all the characters Michael Kovach voices lolol

ah, sigyn! if you have any tips on how to begin worship, i’d love to know, as i’ve been wanting to honor her for a while.
Hey, Nonny!
For me, I began worshipping her after Loki introduced us. It was incredibly difficult to find information on her, unfortunately. I ended up pulling most of my knowledge from the myths and what little else I could find on modern worship. I had found some interesting accounts of modern worship in localized Scandinavian communities, but I can't remember where I found that source. 💀
When reaching out to her, I'd say just be yourself and be respectful, as you would with any deity. Personally, I got her a flower-scented candle, carved her name into the wax, lit some sweet-smelling incense, and lit the candle. I've heard from another Sigyn worship that you can do a ritual where you "hold the bowl" for her, so to speak. This is done by filling a bowl with water and holding it in your hands at her altar for however long you'd like. In this way, it was explained to me that you're holding the bowl of serpent venom for her to give her a break from tending to Loki. I don't personally believe in the myths in a literal sense, but I think the thought that goes into this ritual is what matters.
I suggest reaching out to @broomsick or @notthesomefather for more information; they both have some great resources on Norse deities, although I'm unsure if they know much about Sigyn either. I know Broom in particular is huge on learning about the historical worship of the Norse deities, so I wouldn't be surprised if they have at least something for you. c:
In regards to my personal associations with Sigyn, I'd be happy to share them, but be aware that they're mostly UPG based. Here are some things I associate with her:
Wolves (for her sons, Váli and Narfi); I usually depict them in wholesome, cute, or kind ways
Serpents (I don't usually give offerings related to them, though, due to their negative role in her myth)
Otters, orcas, polar bears/grizzly bears, reindeer/deer, and sometimes moths; most I associate due to their strong familial bonds and pack/herd nature
Bowls, especially ones with beautiful designs
Intricately designed plates, especially those that tell a story or are vintage
Her name is believed to mean "Friend of Victory", "Victory Friend", or something similar to the two; I therefore associate her strongly with victory and overcoming challenges
Family, familial love, loyalty, devotion, resilience, persistence, dedication, inner strength, compassion, caregiving, patience, and fidelity ← domains I associate with her
Light-colored flowers and plants
The colors light pink, gold, yellow light blue, and earthy shades of green and brown
Objects crafted out of love for another person or creature (drawings, wood carvings, crocheted works, etc.)
Family heirlooms, especially those passed down from a maternal figure
Childhood toys, stuffed animals, comfort items, etc. (bonus points if you tell her the stories behind them and why you loved them so much)
Poetry written for or about her, art made of or about her
Defensive weapons; a wolf may not attack humans often, but it still has teeth and claws if needed (protection of loved ones is my reasoning here)
Honey, herbal teas, warmed pastries, warmed breads, soups, and childhood comfort foods
It's not a big list of things, and like I said, it's mostly UPG, but I hope it helps. Take care, and I wish you the best, Nonny! 💚🖤

Hello! Are you accepting requests for eleceed right now? If you are can you please write dating headcanons for Andrei, Schneider, Glant Gesimov and Cain Luterain? If you are not taking requests then you can just ignore this. Thank you anyways ❤️
Andrei ; One of the world's top 10 awakened one, under frame.
Personally, I don't think Andrei. Based on his personality would be the one to be in a relationship but now that I think about it. Maybe it was possible on its own twisted ways.
Andrei would never admit that he was in love, even if he did. He would think it was absurd. Just the thought of it would drive him crazy. How could he, of all people, of all awakened one finally have one hell of a thing, let alone a person he could call his weakness?
Andrei would never make a move, or at least on the surface. Because trust me, every single thing you thought was a coincidence that lead you to him was no coincidence let alone faith at all. That was just you running on top of his palm the moment he have taken interest in you.
He had calculated every single thing that had you fall for him, from the first meeting, the second meeting, the way you have slowly taken interest in him, the way he, slowly but surely pull you in the world of awakened one, the way he slowly brainwashed you into agreeing with his beliefs and ideals in his life.
You were the one who confessed. He made sure of that, making sure his pride would never be harmed into taking the first move into making things official as he nonchalantly accepted your feelings, a smirk making it's way on his lips when you were not looking at him, thinking how innocent and unsuspecting you were all this time.
Dating Andrei, one of the worlds fearsome man yet being unaware of it means staying within the premises of the frame. You never knew the bad side of that organisation though. And Andrei made it sure that you would never find out about it. He did not want to scare you, let alone force you and keep you unwillingly within the Frame.
Dating Andrei means constantly staring at nothing but him as he cultivate his power in his chambers, once in a while you would found yourself doing something productive like crochet or even writing. Nothing could harm you within Frame.
Dating Andrei means you're aware that something seems wrong, like something was wrong about everything. But it was already too late as you've already fallen in love with him. Your mind and body now belongs to him, like it or not. He had made it that way.
At the end of the day, dating Andrei only means that he wanted to keep you safe. Even if that means locking you away from the rest of the world. Whether it is love or obsession that he felt. He'll keep you within his reach, even it that means breaking you.
Schnauder ; One of the world's top 10 under frame, also the mentor of Roist and Duke.
He's handsome, and damn boy. He knows that well enough to make use of it.
Unlike Andrei, I do think that Schnauder is up for a relationship. But not for a serious one. So what happens when you, whom he thought was a passing play thing manage to get pass his defense and tug his heartstrings?
Being both in the frame, it was not a secret thing at least within the organization that the two of you where a thing, but you two have always make sure to keep it in a professional way in the eyes of the public but it was a different thing in private and within the sigh of his poor disciples.
Dating him, at first was quite intimidating even though you had found him attracted all of the time, it was different by the time you've been in a relationship with him. With your relationship mostly about being in sheets with him yet it was enough as others would often describe it to being in a relationship with him. Because he treats them so kindly before he discharge them like they were nothing.
Dating him, the man you've been eyeing for so long, has you walking around eggshell at first as you try to keep him satisfied, knowing well that he would be around the longest in that way. But the more you get to spend your time with him, the more you show more side of you, the more he grew curios and fond of you.
Other says that you two would be quick. Schnauder was never the one to keep someone for so long. You know that, everyone knows that. So how surprising to others let alone you by the time you realise that this was no short time thing? That by the time you realise it, its already been years and counting.
Dating Schnauder means getting to know more sides of him, that means knowing he was too prideful to admit he was in love with you, something others may not see but but you knowing him as well as his disciple Roist knowing him, you both knew the way he was treating you was different from others.
After all, who would dare raise their voice at his mentor and be alive by the time they manage to finish their sentence? Not even this old plaything get to do that, no. They would have died on the spot by the time they glare at Schnauder.
You were different. Maybe that was what pull him to you, you never expected more from him. At the same time as time passed by, he hoped that you'd be more greedily about things, about him.
At the end of the day, the two of you would have just acknowledged that the two of you were in fact, in love with each other. And that he would never, never ever admit that due to his pride. And you were fine with that. You knew him well enough. And that was enough.
Glant Gesimov ; Considered as one of the world's top 10 rookies, is a student of the world awakened academy.
Oh boy, he was intimidating. His body was far greater and larger from others so others were quite intimidated by him. Given that fact, others would often want to get out of his way, you were one of them too. So imagine the horror in your face when you, one of the lowkey students of the academy manage to dump into him, practically falling to the floor from the impact and by the time you look up. Oh how doomed you were.
Or so you thought, because if that was the case. You would not found yourself hanging out with the man in question, let alone be dating him.
"Come on now Glant, don't sare the poor guy." You laugh as he scoff, never the less putting his attention back into you.
"Ouch." "Maybe if you aren't playing around you wouldn't hurt yourself that much." You spoke, rolling your eyes as you tend his wounds in the clinic.
Oh and the two of you likes to gossip. Be it the different kind of news or gossip around the academy, you made sure to tell it to him. And not that he found those interesting, he just love the took on your face. The way your eyes sparkle in delight and interest. Cute, he thought.
The height and the size difference.
Others find it hard to figure out just what in the world did Gesimov seen in you and that he have chosen you of all the people admiring and dying to be with him from afar, be it the fact that he have came from a powerful background or thy trully just admire him.
Dating Glant means constantly being in the eyes of others. But you were never bullied tho, all they can do was to glare at you from the distance as you send a sly smirk in their way. Glant being fully aware of you action but talking no interest nor care about it.
It is like the cute dynamic of big soft boy but only when it comes to you × little devil. After all you, you were quite lowkey at first but the more you are with Glant the more your true colors started to show, making your fellow schoolmates realise how quietly terrifying you trully were and that you are being lowkey for a reason. Because as soon as they were to talk about Glant in a wrong way, a letter of challenge would be hand on them the following day, if not, an hour.
"You okay? You took another nap right after your father visit." "... did you cry?" "... no." "I'm sorry... I lost and made you worry. Other organisations would start to pre-" "Do you think I care about that? I don't give a fuck. Just take care of yourself more, I hate seeing you get hurt!" "...... Alright, I'm sorry." "Come here."
Dating Glant Gesimov means rubbing it to other faces that you don't care about them nor do you two give a fuck about them. After all, it was the two of you who was in the relationship and not them.
Cain Luterain ; Considered as one of the world's top 10 rookies, is a student of the world awakened academy. Has a mythical panter called Lacelot.
Enemies one sided to lovers trope period.
You always hated his guts, the way he talk so arrogant yet elegant. The way he held his head up knowing well his power and authority. You hate it. You always hated him who was always being compared to tou ever since you were younger. So why in the world as you making out with the same man you've hated for your whole lifetime? You don't know, but you knew damn well that he kisses so well.
Then it just clicked that maybe. Maybe you were in love with him. That not everything is just a competition when it comes to the two of you. And maybe the fact that he was in love with you too. Maybe that is why after that incident, the two of you started dating.
His panter loves you, maybe a little more than himself. It always cuddle up with you more it he did to his owner, always listen to your commands more than he did to his owner. "Seriously, just who's beast are you?" "Come on Cain, this is why he never listen to you without using your awakened power."
Just like Gesimov and his loverz the two of you likes to gossip and also roast and look down to other people. Imagine the shock on other people when the duo who kept acting like they wanted to kill each other acting all casual and lovely around each other. How surprising, trully a sight to see.
The two of you were always team up and was send off to a mission to crush some awakened academy that was illegally operated. Just call it one of those random date trips as the two of you have fun crushing other people dreams and passion with your awakened powers.
Loves to sneak out of the academy, addressing it as part of the mission when the two of you would just wander around, going out on a date like a typical teenage lover moment. He was nervous when the two of you have done it for the first time, but the more the two of you have gone out, the more he got used to it. It's not like the two of you would be caught.
"Cain." "What." "I'm bored." You turn to him who was casually sitting down on the opposite direction. Raising a brow at you, "What do you want me to do?" "Bark?" "Babe." "Just kidding, kiss me?" "You don't have to ask."
Of course dating Cain Luterain isn't just all sunshine, there were times where the two of you would get to a fight, probably due to some stupid reason. Mostly both of you pride getting in the of understanding each other.
"What are you doing here?" You glare at him on your door step but did not shut the door on his face. "I can't sleep, move out of the way." He made his way inside your room. "Cain." You groan, closing the door behind you. "You know you can't do this everytime we had a fight." "Let's talk about this tomorrow." He sigh before looking up to meet your gaze. "Come here?" "..." You went towards him.

Platonic Sides Week Day 4: Inside Jokes
Back in the day, yearly Halloween decorations were less holiday fun and more a force of nature. The Core Sides would wake up on October first to find the Mindscape common room covered in gore and grime. Blood seeped from the floorboards, and impressions of haunting faces were pressed into the wall. Posters for horror movies were plastered all over, and cobwebs crowded each corner. It was the result of Virgil and Remus sneaking in late at night. Inspired by Virgil listing off the scariest things he could think of, the Duke would bring it all to metaphysical reality.
But then Virgil was accepted, and instead of ambushing them, he was invited to collaborate with Roman. The decor wasn’t nearly as scary, now consisting of cheery jack-o-lantern lights and plastic skeletons, but now that they had more than a late night raid to set up (and Remus wasn’t involved) it was a lot more cohesive, and the others could tell that real thought was put into how it was all arranged. Unlike before, when it looked like the Exorcist throwing up everywhere scene equivalent of a Spirit Halloween. It was also a lot more relaxing for Virgil, who didn’t have to face the consequences of telling Remus of all people (why did he used to think that was a good idea?) what he saw as shit-your-pants worthy the morning after. And despite what one might expect from someone who loved making himself a nuisance and inviting himself where he wasn’t welcome, Remus didn’t crash the decorating or switch out the cartoony ghost banners for goopy intestines. He just went back to his tower in the Imagination, and did his worst.
Because of recent “developments”, they were now making an effort to not force any Side out (though some were more excited about this prospect than others). Since Halloween was soon approaching, Virgil had hesitantly decided to dig up an old tradition, and invited the Duke to join Roman and him in decorating. After all, with two Creativities bouncing ideas off each other and two safer Sides to keep His Disgrace in check, it had to turn out great, right?
Yeah that silly idea was thrown out the window as soon as the twins’ opposing tastes lead to them butting heads.
“Why the hell would I use plastic knives? This isn’t a school cafeteria, I’m using high-quality, stainless steel, blood covered knives!”
“You’d use plastic knives because we don’t want someone to poke their eye out!” Roman argued. In his defense, he wasn’t suggesting they use the dinky plastic knives found in fast food restaurants that can’t actually cut anything, but plastic molded to look like the kind of bloody knives you’d see in cartoons, with bright red blood painted onto a right triangle on a stick.
“Maybe you would, but I have some goddamn artistic integrity. The glorious season of Halloween deserves nothing less than real knives.”
Having had enough, and really needing a hand with hanging up the witch on a broomstick, Virgil decided to get involved (which was never a good idea, but being smart was Logan’s job).
“Yeah, because we totally want a repeat of Crochet Night,” he interrupted with a snicker as he struggled to get a loop of string onto one of the hooks they’d stuck onto the ceiling. It didn’t help that he really didn’t feel safe standing on a chair for this, so he was shaking a bit.
“Crochet Night?” Roman asked, interest evident in his voice, because one would assume that crocheting was a very mundane activity, the kind of thing you’d expect grannies to do while talking about the latest bingo game. But the combination of yarn, needles, Remus, free time, and perhaps a lack of supervision had some interesting possabilities, and he was intrigued.
“It’s a long story,” Virgil answered, and he wasn’t lying. It would be a task of its own to even describe the end result.
“Yeah dude, get your own fucking noodle incident!” Remus jeered, stabbing some rusty nails in the wall to hang decorations from. The nice thing about the Mindscape was that they didn’t have to bother finding a stud.
“Excuse me, Rudey Gloom and I have so many ‘noodle incidents!’ Just last week was spaghetti Sunday!” the Prince protested, and Virgil just shook his head and went back to trying to hang the witch (because that’s how it actually happened). He’d explain it later.
It was a while later, and they were debating if adding fake eyeballs to the blood red Hawaiian punch was too much. In Remus’ opinion, there was no such thing as too many eyeballs, but the others didn’t fully trust him not to put in real ones. Maybe one of two though, ones that they verified were just ping pong balls or something before they were put in, that might be fun.
One might think the first week of October is too early to start putting out party snacks. But since food in the Mindscape didn’t expire unless they (just Remus really) wanted it to, a table of them served just fine as decoration.
“We could make them outta jelly, then it would be like eating an actual one.”
Roman cringed at his brother’s suggestion, before hiding his face behind a sip from a red solo cup. Yes, like in the movies.
“I’m pretty sure you’re the only person who’d want that,” Virgil said, setting down a tray of those sprinkle covered sugar cookies that have pictures of pumpkins and ghosts on them.
“You say that,” the Prince replied, looking more excited than the situation called for.
“You say that,” Virgil mirrored, laughter barely contained by the grin on his face.
“What the fuck are you two saying?”
“Oh, it’s uh…” he trailed off, because really to understand he’d need to explain about five weeks’ worth of context, the history of ferrets, and the plot of an obscure kids’ show episode.
“You had to be there, Angus Boredom!” Roman boasted, gesturing his solo cup at his brother. Remus groaned, wanting more than ever to know what that was all about now that he was being denied the knowledge.
Several minutes later, Virgil gawked when he walked in with paper mâché supplies to see the twins working together to stick spooky gel stickers to the ceiling. Them working together for once wasn’t what he was reacting to, though that was also unusual. No, the real weirdness was that Roman was sitting on his brother’s shoulders.
“Hey Emo,” Remus waved, causing Roman to brace himself against the ceiling so he wouldn’t fall off. “You got the sauce?”
“For the last time, glue is not a condiment. And what are you two doing?”
“Uh, isn’t it obvious?” Roman asked as he removed the backing from a squishy spider sticker. “We’re putting up stickers. They glow in the dark, it’ll be fabulous!”
“I can see that, I’m not blind,” he rolled his eyes. “Couldn’t you use a ladder or something?”
“Nah, do you know how many people die from ladders? This is much safer,” he answered, and normally Virgil would argue that there was no way that was true. But really? They were quite good at it. Roman could stretch and reach and maneuver however he needed to, and Remus had no problem adjusting so they didn’t come crashing down. And, as long as he was given a bit of warning, Remus could stroll over to where they needed to be next and Roman wouldn’t so much as sway, balancing himself with his twin’s gait. It was obvious they had done this before. Multiple times.
“When did you even learn how to do that?” he queried, because before Remus revealed himself to Thomas, a majority of the interactions he used to see between the Creativities consisted of medieval duels.
“Oh, well we were on this quest in the Imagination,” Roman began, and that was already a plot twist. Last he checked, each brother was banned from the other’s side unless given explicit permission to enter. Of course, that didn’t mean the rule was actually followed (it wasn’t). But before he could continue, steam started escaping from his ears.
“Unfortunately, a wizard banned us from ever saying what happened that day, so it’s a pain in the ass to explain. I’d try writing it down, but I don’t want my morningstar to be dyed pink.” Usually Remus was immune to curses, since he didn’t mind if horrible or weird things happened to him. But the bastard of a wizard had personalized the curse to do things that actually bugged him, like covering his sketchbooks in cute cat stickers. He was tempted to donate it to Patton, but the paternal Side probably wouldn’t have been too appreciative of the drawings within.
Virgil looked up from where he was spreading out a tarp in preparation for the messy craft. “So I’ll never know?” The twins just shrugged in unison.
“Eh, I guess that’s fair. Three Sides, three things we refuse to explain, all checks out.”

HII. Came here to say that I love Sluggie, she's a little sweetheart. I wanna pinch her cheeks. Will you show us how the others find out about her? I'm curious about her interactions with the brothers/April/the Caseys! I feel like Donnie would be too happy to info dump about anything she asks about the world, and Mikey would cook her everything she's curious about trying!
And oooh maybe it's Casey Jr who notices that she's an alien, he has more experience. Although he only has Kraang experience, so maybe not? Questions, questions...
I also really reallly adore how you draw clothes, Leo always looks so stylish in your pieces!
Sorry for the rambling, have a good day/night! <3
TYSM!!!💕💕
I’ll probably do some art eventually on how each of them individually meet/find out about her but for now here are each of their first impressions.
🧡: Mikey was actually the first to find out about sluggy (not the fact she’s an alien tho). At first he was worried about Leo sneaking out and not telling any of them where he was going, but when he found out Leo was hanging out with a friend he was happy to let it slide seeing as it would be good for Leonardo’s emotional recovery from the invasion. When they met Mikey was a little weirded out by her actions but soon warmed up to her after finding out that she loves eating! If he ever has leftovers or scraps she’s the first one to call.
💜: Donnie was the second to find out. While leo could lie perfectly fine, Mikey isn’t so good. When Leo had reluctantly introduced them donnie was a bit skeptical but nothing too bad, though he didn’t like how much she tended to interrupt him. This gets worse after they find out she’s an alien. Donnie takes the longest to warm up to Sluggy but once he does he won’t stop trying to run tests on her. Leo doesn’t let her go in the lab alone anymore…
❤️: Raph doesn’t know what to think when he meets Sluggy. She’s nice and doesn’t seem dangerous but she’s new and came out of nowhere. After the invasion Raph got a little less trusting so he tried to find out about her past but nothing came up. After it’s revealed Sluggy is an alien he quickly gets defensive but soon finds out she’s not a threat seeing how attached she is to Leo. They eventually become close and he welcomes her to the group. Sluggy is a little too easy to trick so Raph often keeps her out of trouble when there together. It also gives him an excuse to crochet more sweaters seeing as Sluggy doesn’t have much of a wardrobe.
💛: April is the doesn’t think much of Sluggy at first, and doesn’t see why Donnie has such a problem with her. She doesn’t interact much with Sluggy but is able to see pretty early on that she isn’t a threat in anyway (especially after seeing her get tangled in her own arms). After the reveal that she’s an alien April is a bit worried at first but is quickly reminded that Sluggy isn’t a threat (she got stuck in a trashcan) and Leo seemed to genuinely trust her. April also helped donnie warm up to Sluggy.
💚: Casey thinks it’s great that Leo was making friends outside of their family and covers for Leo on nights when he sneaks out. He doesn’t remember her from the future but a lot had changed since they succeeded in stopping the invasion. However after it’s revealed that she’s an alien Casey immediately changes this attitude. He becomes genuinely uncomfortable around her and avoid any interaction they could have. Casey is still warming up to her but is finding it easy to bond over their lack of knowledge about their new home.
I’ll probably post more interactions between them when I get the chance! If anyone has any questions about the dynamics between Sluggy and the rest of the turtles feel free to ask!👍

I just wanna say thank you to everyone who has decided to follow me and join me on my journey with Christ and becoming more self controlled, into the woman I feel I am meant to be.
Whether your here for my posts on femininity or self care or my posts on scripture, I thank you for tuning in, being aware in what your consuming while your on this app and transforming into the person you’re meant to be. Thank you for staying peaceful and strong through all your endeavors and thank you for spreading love when and where you can💜
Here are some fun facts about me:
⭐️ I am Cuban & Bahamian but was raised in Baltimore, MD
⭐️ I identify as a protestant (more specifically a Pentecostal Christian: we believe in baptism by the holy spirit, Bible authority and spiritual gifts such as tongues, interpretation of tongues, healing, and prophesying)
⭐️ I have a 4 month old daughter and I am 10 weeks pregnant
⭐️ My favorite foods are spaghetti, sushi & salad😋
⭐️ My favorite hobbies are girl blogging (obviously), watching Christian youtube videos/podcasts, Hour with God, video games/ipad games, crocheting, reading and cooking!
⭐️ I believe in traditional home values even though I am celibate and single
⭐️ I am very passionate about Black American & Female rights along with the rights of any minority. Let that be LGBTQ+, people with disabilities of any and all types, mental illnesses, and people who identify as a minority within their society. all people are children of God and deserve rights. no matter what they look like or what the world think may stop them. we are all brothers and sisters and I believe we should all be treated and treat each other as such. even when it's hard.
⭐️ I am a selective pacifist. I do not believe in violence of any kind, I do not participate in violence or the advertisement of violence including wars. I used to believe in violence heavily and even was in the Marine Corps for 2 years. But through Christ, my ways have changed and I believe the best response to violence is non violence. I put “selective” for a reason though. If someone is harming me, I will not react with violence and trust in God to handle the battle for me. But if someone harms my defenseless child or any defenseless child, being or thing, i believe in justified violence by self defense AS LONG AS there is no intent to take the other person’s life.
⭐️ I love all animals but my favorites are bunnies, dogs and bears
I hope to continue connecting to other Christians and communities open to our beliefs. I also hope to find my tribe eventually. Find the people who are meant to be in my life to help me in my spiritual journey and will benefit in my personal growth❤️🫶🏾❤️🫶🏾❤️🫶🏾❤️
