#though the ninja and dog used to be the same person

[tobiasdrake]

Every time we see Yor Forger in her nightgown with her hair down and everything, she looks so much like Mai that I have to remind myself her night job is not stealing Dragon Balls. XD

Honestly, I'm just happy she landed in a good place after the Pilaf Gang dissolved, and definitely did not any of that shit from Dragon Ball Super.

AITA for scamming my ex out of an extremely valuable virtual pet?

🐓🥤to recognize. This might be a very long post with a lot of added context for a very niche hobby and a very small actual conflict.

I religiously play a virtual pet site called Chicken Smoothie. It's a pretty old site as far as virtual pet games go, starting back in 2008, so there is a pretty solid established site economy. Just for some context, Every pet on the site has a rarity, ranging from "OMG So Common" to "OMG So Rare", being the most common and most rare respectively. But there are rarities within those rarities, where some OMGSRs can be worth more than others based on species and demand. For example, an OMGSR dog from 2008 will be worth more than an OMGSR rat from 2008 despite being the same highest rarity and year, because people prefer the dogs over rats. These pets can get extremely valuable. You can't sell them for real money (according to site rules, but of course there's a black market), but the site has its own virtual currency you can buy (with real money) and trade for called Chicken Dollars, and you can also trade a valuable pet for other valuable pets. It gets very complicated, with the community coming up with its own set of value terms each pet can have. I'm not getting into specifics there, that's not important.

Every year, on December 18th, CS has gift boxes you can adopt from. These gift boxes can contain any rare pet from any previous year, including special "Unreleased pets" that you can only get from these Dec 18th boxes, with a very slim chance. These unreleased pets are some of the most valuable and rarest in the game.

Recently, I had seen my ex posting on the forums. I didn't know he had an account, he had made it within this year, long after I got the fuck away from him, and I only knew it was him because he uses the same username everywhere. This person had groomed me, physically abused me when we were together (we no longer live anywhere near each other, thankfully) and has always been emotionally manipulative. He does not know I play, and he wouldn't recognize my account as me. I took a note of his account and left it be for a while, until December 18th hit and I took a peek at what he had got. And what he got was one of the new Unreleased pets, which currently at the time of writing this only looks like a box of cereal. (Most pets on the site have growth stages.) And even better, all his groups were open for trade, so I took a chance and sent an extremely terrible trade. I told him that this pet would only be a recent rare, and I offered him a "Very Rare" rarity (but not very valuable) pet from 2018, telling him I was overpaying. (In the CS community, this is known as Ninjaing, and it's Not A Good Thing To Do). I didn't expect him to accept it, I at least thought he'd be smart enough to ask in the trade advice thread that is literally pinned on the home page for December 18th, but he didn't. He took my word for it and accepted the trade, and now I own an unreleased pet that will eventually end up as an OMGSR.

What I did was not a bannable offence. He will not get his unreleased pet back. The CS mods are laughable at worst, incompetent at best, and don't do anything to stop scamming. They have an "eh, sucks to be you, sorry, be smarter next time" mentality when people get scammed (Which is insane because there are literal single digit aged children allowed on this site!!!)

After taking a bit to think about it, I do feel a bit guilty because I really would not do this in any other circumstances. I hate scamming. I did what I did out of anger and contempt, and I do feel a bit guilty because in essence, I scammed a new player that didn't have much else and didn't know any better.

I'm still keeping that unreleased cereal box no matter what though

What are these acronyms?

Introducing; Yuichi Usagi-Cuddles!

There’s a slight typo in his basic character bio, (first, grey image) other than “yuich,” his family in America lives in the part of the hidden city under Jersey. He lives in Jersey. He’s a Jersian. So in terms of leosagi, it’s gonna be an enemies-to-lovers comedy-of-errors muahahahaha!!

More (a LOT more) info about him as his own guy under the cutoff :D ⬇️

Basically; He’s a silly guy! I feel like his kinda buffoonish, embarrassing personality in canon is simultaneously PERFECT for Rise’s writing style & grievously underrated in fanon depictions. So he’s this clownish type of character, haha.

Okay, time to go hyperfixation mode.

Adhd & his stubborn attitude;

He has ADHD! Executive function issues makes it hard for him to start tasks & manage himself, so he relies on his teams (the Mad Dogs when he’s training & the Rise equivalent to his canon friend group on his own time) to not only instruct him, but also hold him accountable & keep him on task. He’s body-doubling without even realizing it.

Although, he resents the things he does to accommodate his disability. He doesn’t notice that doing the things he does genuinely helps or why so he thinks he’s using them as a crutch because of incompetence. Every time he gets stubborn and ignores the things he needs to do, he crashes and burns. When he was new in town with no teacher & no friends who liked martial arts, he became a huge sad sack until the kraang invasion.

His character arc is about being able to rely on other people & accommodations. That relying on a bit more help than other people doesn’t make you incompetent, choosing to seek out the support you need so you can do your best is the true mature thing to do. I was inspired by canon Yuichi’s struggles with paying attention and Rise’s themes of cooperation. (& also my own experience with adhd and learning with executive function issues & junk)

Relationships w/ the turtles;

The Mad Dogs agree to let him like, intern with them? So he can see what it’s like to be a vigilante, they offer him advice and they occasionally go on low to mid-tier missions with his help. They take him on cause they think more heroes and allies out there, the less work they have to do haha. Also, one of the writers mentioned a season 3 would have them adjusting to being ~official heroes,~ I think this would be them trying to be “real.”

He’s closest friends with Mikey out of the whole group! (Adhd solidarity) Then it goes Donnie -> Raph -> and finally Leo (for now muahaha)

I tried to give Leosagi an interesting dynamic with constructing his character like this; They have similar insecurities from drawing self-worth from technical capabilities that they can develop past together, but Leo is clever and calculating about it vs Yuichi being rash and impulsive. So like smart x stupid but they’re the same actually.

His Family in Jersey;

He speaks english fluently because he’s visited his American family frequently his whole life, they’re very close. He has an accent though since he mainly speaks Japanese.

I haven’t fleshed out this concept enough, but I think members of his jersey/Cuddles half of the family would be spoofs of characters from the original yojimbo comics, implied to be reincarnations? Except Miyamoto ofc. (i’ll explain later..)

Reusing the ninja orphans plotline from the original show, his family utilizes their cute appearances to run an orphanage too. They wonder why this Chizu lady is constantly showing up with unhoused children, but they’re just grateful they’re safe now.

Everyone in his family HATES Mrs. Cuddles, they all think she’s in prison and are happy about it. She might’ve given him that scratch on his face.

Additional;

He is gay.

Thank you for your time.

ive seen some tweets on saying ino was a bad friend and how she was fat shaming choji and how sakura unfriending her was the best decision kishimoto made and how ino have no real friends like im tried of the anti inos

First of all, we all need to put respect on Ino's name ��👏👏

She is just incredible. I started to write the whole paragraph about it, but I like to add manga as a proof and Tumblr has limits on pictures I can add, so Ino's greatness will get her own post and now I'll just list it.

Ino is:

Intelligent AF (she is thinking on her feet, makes great strategies, and fulfills her plans masterfully);

Master of her jutsus (that girl connected the whole shinobi alliance because why not AT 16. AS A CHILD. Not to mention taking control of biju away from Madara and Obito, again, AT 16 YEARS OLD;

An amazing inventor, like what she did to Konohas barrier??? Girl boss.

And she is, without a doubt - an incredible friend.

Ino is hot-headed, and when you don't read the manga as a whole, it's easy to think that Ino is somewhat "rude" but then you have to ask yourself:

To who

and

When

Because if we are talking about Chioji, then people need to reread the manga.

Like

She is a sweetheart.

Ino even used her jutsus on Choji to take on Asuma, when Choji was too emotional/scared to fight on his own.

Just to give him the pep talk. Even though when she is in someone else's body, she is sustaining ALL THE INJURIES. She went against her own sensei, a junin, a member of Twelve Guardian Ninja (bodyguards of the Land of Fire's daimyō), to give her friend some emotional support.

Side-note, being mad at Ino for calling Choji fat as a teenage girl makes me laugh because this is Asuma at 31 yo calling him a "fatso":

Where is the same energy in calling Asuma a fat-shamer, huh?

Not to mention, literally every other character calling him fat too. People will see flaws in Ino, but Asuma, Naruto, etc. Can call anyone anything, even worse things, without the same emotional support that Ino offers Choji, and it's "ok"? Give her a break.

She was even canonicaly called "a considered caretaker"

Ino is an amazing friend, and noone had more pleasure to feel it than Sakura.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm a Sakura stan (obviously), but I see when she makes mistakes and breaking her friendship with Ino was THE BIGGEST ONE.

(Yes, she needed that. Sakura had to get out of Ino's shadow in order to "bloom". She had to be on her own to grow as a person, teammate, ninja etc. blah blah).

Ino had no reason to help Sakura when they were children. Ino was talented, popular and smart.

Ino didn't need Sakura, but Sakura needed Ino.

They met when Sakura was bullied and beaten up by their peers. She was so tormented by classmates that when she was beaten up by sound ninjas, Ino had seen it as nearly the same.

Ino was Sakura's biggest protector, when they were children

And even later, after they "broke off" their friendship

(Mind you, sound ninjas are from Orochimaru. They are not on the same level as the rest of the genins. They managed to beat up Lee, who is FAR stronger than Ino-Shika-Cho)

And after Ino protected Sakura, when she had all the reasons to gloat about, she thought this

Ino jumped into a battle against an opponent many times stronger than her, for Sakura. Just to protect her friend, that was nothing but "rude" towards her in years (and vice-versa lol).

"As if we don't know, we'd be dead without her and Sasuke".

That's the friend in Ino.

She even fixed Sakura's hair, so Sakuta feels less insecure during the rest of the exam. She didn't have to do it. Why would Ino give a sh*t? They are not teammates. They are not even friends, and yet, Ino cares.

They do fight like cats and dogs (like any good friends do), but Ino is THE friend of Sakura.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ino is the friend, and she deserves all her flowers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So if I had seen those tweets, Dear Anon, i would be so angry because Ino deserves all the love. The only problem with Ino that I can see is that she is not shown often enough. Every time we see Ino, she does something incredible.

She is a great friend, an incredible ninja, and as another side note, Ino not being a junin makes me EVEN MORE ANGRY.

That girl deserves it.

what would make yves and montgomery go crazy? crazy in the sense of awooga wowowoa sexy hot and bothered yknow what i mean??? i bet it would take a lot to rile yves up but i would like to as a precursor to the tooth rotting sweetness of his love making! - 🌷

Tw: discussion about sex, dubcon

Montgomery is a horndog, he gets horny just about anything and would paw at you to get some juicy pussy, dick or nonbinary genitals. Just bat your eyelash or lack there of and there's already a banana in his pants. If you're dominant enough, stick a finger up his ass and he's going to cum buckets instantly, whimpering and crying on the ground.

It does depend if you're a dom or sub. If you're like the reader depicted in It Was Only Supposed to Be a One Night Stand series, he would act more like an obedient dog that is desperate for a release, yet sob in agony when he's overstimulated. He would cling onto your arm and look up to you with big, adoring eyes.

But if you're a meeker person though, he's going to be grabby, touchy and a piece of shit who wholeheartedly believes that you're simply playing hard to get and you secretly wanted him to insist harder.

For instance, when he's spooning you from behind at night, you can feel his hard member pressing up your ass. The only barrier between his dick and your hole are clothes. Montgomery would slide his hands down your pants and fondle you until he eventually falls asleep. Your 'no' means 'yes please, take me now and don't stop' at worst, 'definitely later' at best.

If you don't like penetrative sex, he's more than happy to use his tongue. For a tall guy, he sure loves to make himself a lot shorter, usually to your crotch level.

Even your scent gets him aroused. The only difference is that he will act upon it if you're a sub, he will wait for your touch if you're a dom.

On the other hand, You have to go through a ninja-warrior-esque obstacle course to get some from Yves. You have to technically act as the "man" for a bit, planning dates, trying to pay things out of your pocket, being extremely attentive to him and generally be super romantic. In other words, attempt in your own way to match up to what he brings to the table, have a binder full of his information, log his habits, take note of what he likes, etcetera etcetera.

Try your best to make it an elaborate surprise, but he will know about it anyway because he's Yves. The more effort you put into this wonderful gesture for Yves, the more likely he is going to initiate sex. However you're going to have to be patient, you're going to have to check yourself.

If you're too pushy and borderline coercing him to have sex with you, he's going to be upset and tell you off. All of your work would have been for nothing if he thinks you're doing this to get some dick.

If you're too passive, Yves will not reward you with lovemaking. But he will still remain the same affectionate and caring man.

His willingness to bed you will come unexpectedly, usually during times where you're kind and loving towards him without expecting anything in return. Your intent and motive matters very, very much, you can't lie about it because Yves can see right through you.

To you, it's like a random event. You cannot predict when Yves is going to indulge you in his sexual proclivities, there is no rhyme or reason to it. But if you pay close attention, it usually happens when you're doing things out of love for him or from the kindness of your heart.

It is highly unlikely he will agree to sex if you explicitly ask. It does happen, but it's rare. You still don't understand what factors control the outcome.

You could get it as much as you want only if you share the same views on sex as him. But if you truly share the same opinion, you wouldn't want to participate as much in the first place. Yves sees it as something tremendously sacred and special, it shouldn't be done too frequently lest it loses its significance.

However, if you have depraved fantasies you would want to fulfil, he will play the part and let you experience your own heaven and his personal hell once. Just once. And never again.

Overall, both have very different ideas on sex. Personally, I think Yves would be a much better candidate. He respects your space, but he expects the same respect for his boundaries in return.

If you're more sexually charged though, Montgomery would be a nicer fit. He never seems to run out of spunk and could go at it for days.

Thinking of a Dog!reader, they have dog ears and a tail, and they act exactly like the type of dog they are. Like a golden retriever is happy or how a Saint Bernard is lazy, you know? Just thought it'd be funny with genji having someone like that 😭

★ Bark bark (... literally)

I personally love these silly requests like this, because they have me think more creatively :3 I may not do it aboslute justice, but gosh... I love dogs <3

With you having these dog-like traits, Genji, in general, would note a mental comment on your appearance; but woukd not push not pressure you about it. You were still a person, and no matter how you had such cute ears and a fluffy tail, the ninja was in no place to judge. He would have some strange (yet, somewhat valid) questions about your anatomy—are you colourblind? Do you eat dog food? Can you bark?

No matter how you responded to him, he would be sitting with you; nodding his head affirmatively with each of your statements. Please tell Genji that he's merely being curious, and to also set boundaries with him, if a topic is too much for you. Making you uncomfortable was something he'd hate to ever hear. He would do his very best to help you accommodate towards things as well, if you do need the assistance.

Along with different dog breeds, I'd like to imagine he'd have the most fun with... maybe a Shiba Inu, Chihuahua, or a golden retriever?

The Shiba Inu is a rather iconic pick, plus, fitting for Genji—considering its place of origin. At first, judging by the looks of your animalistic features, he would try to guess what breed you were at first—then, ultimately settled on you being a Shiba, as he saw your personality unfurl. Plus, that curled up tail gave it all away. Your confident yet more reserved, cat-like demeanor amused the ninja; as he was then excited ro see what you'll do next.

With being friends together, Genji would like the refreshing change of pace that was brought by your attitude—loyal and compassionate, whilst still being individually independent. You'd often hang out with him whenever he is practicing his blade, considering that's what he often-time does in his free hours, anyways. You'd give him a pleasant surprise if you showed off your escape artist skills; able to somehow contort yourself around various, high-scalling nooks and crannies. Genji would joke that you were a better ninja than he was!

If the two of you were to ever be in a relationship, Genji would love to feel his hands around the softness of your ears; smiling to himself, seeing how lovable you were. Even though you had so much energy, he knew keeping up such a big personality to-boot had to be exhuasting; he'd note. Based off of memes, he'd go get you random items—like, y'know that one meme where it's a Shiba, and its wearing a piece of bread? He would have very loving pet (haha get the joke haha get it) names, such as Doge. He'd apologize for how terrible he was at these types of things.

For a Chihuahua, he'd have fun with that one. Stereotyped for their small frame but big temper, he would make jokes about your height; comparing you to different objects, and ask if you could even reach them. Genji would open doors for you, since he'd "worry" that you were too short. Everytime you were to snap back at him, you could tell that he'd roll his eyes—adding that reaction as more ammunition that he could use against you, so that he could tease you further in the future.

He understands to take you seriously, and just because you happen to have a canine appearance, he knew you were still a person at heart; even if you acted like a little shit sometimes towards him. Genji is pretty used to being either around the same height as others, or relatively shorter, so he'd like to think of that as a win for him. If you were to challenge him to a fight, he'll say that you with your ankle-biting tactics may be the formidable enemy against his blade.

He knows how exhausting it must be to have such an attitude like that, and to be so cute, so, if you're uncomfortable with his teasing, please do tell him! He wants to know if he is ever pushing boundaries, and would rather you tell him if he is, rather than for him to accidentally upset and hurt you any further, if he has. Genji knows when to lay off if needed, and he will have more creative jokes, rather than just teasing you about your stature or supposed high ego—as he knows that there is far, far more to you than that.

With a golden retriever, he'd be pretty pleasantly surprised! I feel like Genji's a dog person (self-projection), and he has a soft spot for retrievers and labs! With how contagious your smile and energy was, he couldn't help but love the change of pace that he was getting, since often times, he would talk to people who would only have a sour, pessimistic view. Of which he understood, as he once fell into that hole too. Jealous of how people could be so easily idealistic about the world, he would've shunned those feelings, and felt uncomfortable with sharing. With his newfound enlightenment, he understood that peoples' intentions were not to be idealistic—but to put a positive spin on a rather harsh, sinking reality.

It might take him a minute to try and keep up with your pace, but know that if he were to ever get overwhelmed, he will tell you! He found it interesting that your tail would be swishing back and forth constantly, worried at first that you were trying to communicate something—as dogs communicate with all kinds of gestures, and a wagging tail does not equate to a happy puppy. Once he realized that you were just affectionate and loving naturally, he really understood!

Genji was one to not deny someone of their creative expression, and that is also their love language! Wether that maybe platonic or romantic, he will not take it the "wrong" way, as he has difficulties at times with processing his emotions. Don't be affaid to be all excited; he enjoys seeing you happy, and those ears of yours perk up—too!

... also have this 😭

My tmnt iteration!!

(name is undecided so far)

The humans!!

These are mainly based on 2012, with mixed elements of the rottmnt!

Here's the list of them from oldest to youngest, I with a short description of their personalities

🍕

- Donnie / 14 / He/it / The Leader not by choice

- Mad scientist, all the way, not in an evil way, but in a silly Frankenstein way. Sort of forgets it has siblings due to how obsessed he gets with things, means well though, he makes them things as a way of affection. It's the oldest child, but a bad influence. Raph is the only one who keeps the gang alive whenever Donnie tries to lead anything. Donnie never wanted to be a leader, but it was Just because it was the oldest.

🍕

- Raph / 13 / He/him / The medic

- He's sort of like that grumpy dad that says he doesn't want a dog, but like two days later he spoils that dog and carries it like a baby. Raph puts himself in a bit of a care giving role, still mostly serious, but it slips through when worried about his brothers or really excited about something. His relationship with Mikey is not like 2012, where it's bickering and annoyance, it's more like "what are you doing on the fridge mikey get down-". He wants to be the leader, since he thinks it would make his brothers listen to him more, but he's been reluctant to ask for it since he's not sure if he'd be an actual good leader on missions and such.

🍕

- Leo / 12 / He/they / the entertainment

- Basically if rottmnt Leo gave way less of a shit about literally anything. If the world was burning, Leo would want to look amazing while laying in a hammock sipping a sprite. He literally only does anything for the sake of their brothers. Kinda goes all out on the bedazzle, has the most knowledgeable about humans and the one who April met first. Leo is obsessed with music and wants to become a famous singer, but the whole mutant thing makes it difficult. They had thought about it a lot though. ALOT. Also a FNAF lore kid. He's somehow exhausted and hyper at the same time, they couldn't explain to you how that works.

🍕

Mikey / 11 / Any / The

- the littlest prick you'll ever meet (But it's cute so it's okay/j). The most excited about Ninja related stuff and the most excited about missions splinter sends them on. Tries really hard for splinter to think he's good enough. (Even though splinter is already incredibly proud of all of his sons). He's rejection sensitive and hasn't told anyone about it yet. Mikey is really good at acrobatics and uses it a lot when fighting. It's sort of like a special interest almost. Met Casey first when he was delivering pizza.

I will probably re work their designs slightly as I continue to draw them,

but these are the scrapped concepts I had for Donnie and Mikey if you wanted to know (Donnie went too much "Miku the world is mine" and Mikey went the sonic character cartoons route)

[moontyger]

A common response to players struggling with a given title is that not every game is for everyone. That’s a true statement, as some people prefer the grueling difficulty of Soulslikes, while others prefer the rich narratives of sprawling JRPGs or look for the tranquility of a cozy title after a hectic day.

But that isn’t a matter of accessibility, it's a matter of taste. The idea that certain genres are more suited to differing personal taste doesn’t hold up when looking at whether someone can even play the game to begin with. It can be hard to determine if something is enjoyable to a gamer if they can’t even give it a proper chance.

The Mona Lisa isn't for everybody, right? There are people who will see it, and say, "Okay, that's a painting of some lady, I'm not impressed.” It might not be for them. But they still were able to see it, though, and then chose that it's not for them. When we talk about accessibility, they can't see it in the first place, so they don't even have the ability to choose that it's not for them �� We owe it to players to give them the right to choose whether it's for them or not.

White says the more accurate comparison isn’t whether a person likes the Mona Lisa, but the accurate analogy is if someone can complete a Ninja Warrior-style obstacle course to even get to the Mona Lisa. A person can’t make a determination on if the Mona Lisa, or Elden Ring and Starfield for that matter, is for them if they can’t actually experience it to begin with.

That would seem to make the argument for accessibility features self-evident, and to a lot of developers, it is. White cited the way Xbox has shifted its branding from being the platform of the gaming elite to a more broad-net approach, acknowledging the benefits of the “when everybody plays we all win” viewpoint for accessibility awareness. That also helps business, he pointed out, by broadening the base of prospective Xbox players from what he called the “hardcore, get good” gamers.

Of course, that kind of shift is far from uncontroversial, especially with the self-styled elite gamers who White identifies as the largest opponents of letting others play the same game.

A Skill Issue

As White was talking with Game Rant, the conversation was being illustrated by players of The Last of Us 2 Remastered, who took issue with the game’s accessibility features making the roguelike No Return mode too easy. Accessibility was seen as a threat to measurement of player skill, and the tension between people being able to play and people being able to feel the competitive edge of a game asserted itself.

That isn’t to say Naughty Dog couldn’t have approached the problem differently, but that the tension itself often means players like the visually impaired or those with motor control issues are criticized. And in those moments, White comes down hard on the side of accessibility. In his opinion, issues like those with The Last of Us 2 Remastered never justify excluding people in his opinion.

Leaving out other gamers willfully, be it on the basis of disability or any of the other common prejudices of the gaming community, White says, is more than just not caring, more than just casual cruelty, but straight-up malevolence.

If you grew up in the 90s, if you were a gamer, you were a weirdo, right? You were ostracized. Your friends were in sports, and you were playing Pokemon and the like, and you were not at the cool kids table. So what manner of evil must you be to know what that feels like, and then create a place to do it to somebody else? What's wrong with you? I don't know, I find that gatekeeping thing really nasty. I mean, we were the weirdos who played video games instead of playing sports. We're the weirdos who had a crush on the boy in hermit mode. We were weird people. To willfully exclude others seems counter to the people we ought to be.

Do you allow people to feed your dogs? If so what's their favorite treats?

*to the dogs* do you let people feed your person? I'm worried there's no one with opposable thumbs he'll let look after him. I've got some of those books he reads but I'm kind of lost on what snacks would tempt him to relax a little. He also looks really pettable but being a ninja I don't think he'd like that, right?

Hello, stranger. We usually hunt our own food as a pack, but Boss sometimes cooks us chunks of steak after a big mission. Or fish, since those are tricky to catch. Guruko is the only one who can do it consistently.

Boss sometimes changes the kind of treats that he carries around, but the usual one is the same type that his sire used to buy for Pakkun and Bull when they were puppies, I've heard. It's a flat yellow stick that crunches when you bite down, but it tastes better if you hold it in your mouth for a while.

Boss is a really good hunter, but he's also very bad about getting human things for himself sometimes and then the pack worries. He lets us hunt in the surrounding forest if we promise not to go after the deer, though, and last time I brought back a rabbit for him to skin because he doesn't like to eat the fur. But almost everything worth hunting has fur, and Boss hasn't turned anything down yet, so I'm not sure if he has a preference for anything specific?

No, wait, he likes fish. I think. I smell fish in the kitchen a lot. And sometimes he'll also eat a treat when he's giving us one, even though the loud green friend says humans aren't supposed to.

I don't know how to do petting because I don't have hands, but I like scritches on the top of my head the best. I don't know if Boss has ever had head scritches before, though. His head is very high.

Maybe no one has bothered to reach up and give him head scritches for a long, long time.

Personalization Prompt #2 – Martha

And for the reader appreciation day of the event, I’m using the second personalization prompt for the wonderful Martha @going1582! Thank you so much for being a friend 😊 And I hope you’ll enjoy!!

BLACK: what face claim from an anime, comic book, or cartoon do I associate with you?

Of course, you already know this one, but it really is Alex Benedetto from Gangsta.! She’s gorgeous, has the right colouring, and is just always the first character to pop into my head when I think of Martha!

WHITE: what flame type and box weapon do I think you’d have in the khr!verse?

While I sort of answered this when I did the other personalization prompt, I do think you have dual Mist and Rain Flames. Your Mist Flames are just the tiniest bit stronger, and though you can’t create full blown illusions, you can use the Mist Flames in ways that do help to deceive or trick others, mostly in defensive ways, while your Rain Flames are the more offensive of the two. As far as box weapons go, I think your Rain box animal is a whale and your Mist Flame animal is a turkey. Going again with the symbolism of spirit animals, both of these animals have deep ties towards community and family. The whale is a symbol of wisdom, emotional healing, keeping history, and peaceful strength, while the turkey is a symbol of abundance and generosity.

RED: what aesthetics do I associate with you?

I know I did these up for you years ago now but they all still ring very true to me 😊

BLUE: what are three songs I’d put on a playlist for you?

LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS, the beatles

PURPLE: what gif reminds me of you?

PINK: if you were an AU, what type of AU would you be?

I do see you as a nice, relaxed, soothing type of AU, something very slice of life oriented without a lot of major drama and angst, so a nice coffeeshop AU or even a high-school AU would be what I would picture you as.

RAINBOW: if i were to write a khr sequel, following Tsuna’s demise, and could only use my reader’s as characters, who would you be?

Easy! It’s the same answer it’s probably always been, where I see you as the next Rain Guardian!

crawl home to ya⚡🌊

lego niniago fic, requested by nobody ( this is a re upload from my wattpad.) no trigger warnings! feel free to request.

follow me on wattpad for more frequent uploads + more fics. I upload on wattpad before tumblr:) ( @justwastingawayhere on wattpad)

context : based off of Nya and jay during the prime empire season. after nya gets cubed and jay is left alone to save ninjago yknow! (but with an alternative sad ending.)

based off of " Work song " by Hozier

main quote - > " when my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth, no grave can hold my body down, I'll crawl home to her. "

(flashback)

Jay was sobbing into the orange luminescent cube that used to be his world, nya. he couldn't do this alone. but he needed to try.

(end of flashback)

he trudged up the stairs of the monestary, pushing that memory out of his mind. he was so angry.

he had freed everyone from the clutches of that stupid damn game. except one. Nya.

somehow when she got cubed.. something went wrong. nobody knew why she hadn't came back. thats what pissed him off. he had failed to save the only person he loved, and nobody even knew why.

he stormed off to his room, ignoring the worried glances he got from the newly freed ninja.

he made it to his bed, flopping down on it and just sobbing. his real parents were right to leave him on a doorstep, a junkyard is right where he belongs.

After an uncomfortable slumber, he awoke to the sound of someone knocking on his door. he groaned. he didn't wanna hear from anyone right now.

He slowly pulled himself up, too tired to notice.. the water that littered his floor. which was definitely weird, the monestary didn't usually randomly have water leaking from anywhere. especially not his room.

when he opened the door, he found zane standing there with a worried look on his face. " hey jay? how are you doing? " zane asked, even though he knew the answer. jays tear stained eyes were enough of a hint. " not.. good.. " jay mumbled. Zane immediately hugged him, which was way out of character for him. zane never hugged anyone. jay accepted the hug, as zane came into his room, still having his arm wrapped tightly around jay.

" woah- your floor is covered in water. what in the name of ninjago happened? " Zane said, stepping over the puddles of water to jays bed. " I dunno. " jay said, sniffing as he was placed onto his bed. he leaned his head on zanes shoulder, sniffing.

Zane decided itd be a good idea to stay with jay tonight. so once he fell asleep, he also layed down and fell asleep.

in the middle of the night, jay awoke, startled. he heard water splashing, and he looked over to see Zane snoring next to him. what the hell was all that water? that's when he saw it.

a figure standing in the corner, covered in water. nya.

" nya!! " jay screamed, running towards her. but she got further and further away from him. " ꒐̶i̶m ̶s̶o ̶s̶o̶r̶r̶y ̶j̶a̶y." nya said, but her voice was all distorted and muffled.

then, jay woke up. that was a horrible nightmare.

he then noticed a blue light leaking out from just outside his bedroom door. not this again. it reminded him of the door to.. prime empire.

jay got up, slowly walking towards his bedroom door. he creeked it open, and only saw blue. he stepped slowly into the blue light.

when his vision finally focused again he noticed nya in the void of blue. it was only her, and she was crying.

" .. nya?.. is it really you this time? "

jay croaked out, stepping towards her.

" jay?? jay!! " nya screamed, running towards him and embracing him tightly. " oh god.. you don't know how much I wanted you to get my message. I can't- I can't get out of here! I'm trapped! wait- we're trapped!! "

jay then realised that as well, and like a lost dog, he spun around, noticing the same door he came through, still there. he grabbed nyas hand, dragging her towards the door. he jumped through it, throwing nya through. if he didn't make it through, he was making sure she would.

he landed roughly on the floor, he immediately rolled over, trying to grab hold of nya. when he finally did, he burst into tears and hugged her tighter than he ever had before.

" I thought you were gone forever nya! " he shouted, sniffing and choking on his sobs.

then zane shot up from the bed, running over to both of them. " nya?! jay- are you both okay?! "

" I'm okay! jay- oh god you're bleeding!! " nya screamed, grabbing him up from the floor. he hadn't even realized he had hit his head hard on the floor and it was bleeding pretty bad.

he still didn't let go of nya. he was so terrified she'd disappear again. nya sat him down on the bed, not trying to pull him off of her at all. whilst zane went to go get something to stop the bleeding on his head. this would be a delight to explain to the other ninja and master wu.

once jays head was taken care of, nya was scared that he might have a concussion. he hadn't spoke a word, just cried and whimpered and clung onto nya.

she layed him down in bed, staying next to him as they both slept.

everything would be alright.

Aaaa the neighborhood au is so cute I can’t even. Anymore about the group outside of Shade and Kai at all? Also, what did the other person contribute

Here's a breakdown of the ninja's friend dynamics:

Just an FYI because I'll end up using different pronouns to refer to them all: Jay is transmasculine and uses he/they, Zane is a demiboy who uses they/he, and Cole is unlabelled and uses she/he.

They all met in their first year at Ignacia High. Cole initially went to a private school before convincing Lou to let her switch to public, Jay and Kai attended the same elementary school but never really interacted a lot, and Zane was homeschooled by their foster father Dr. Julien. Their first class of the year was history and they were all sitting only a few desks apart.

Really, Zane, Cole, and Jay all were close first and then they added Kai to the friend group because they liked him.

Kai was initially rather hesitant because up to this point his only friend his age is Shade, but he decides to join the group because it's lame having like, no friends your age. Shade is more of a lone wolf and tends to do his own thing. Neither of them are really worked up about it because that's just their dynamic.

They pretty much always work together on group projects because they share almost all of the compulsory classes.

They also joined every single stage production the school ran each year. Cole and Jay would perform while Kai and Zane worked backstage.

Kai once caught Cole and Jay making out in the orchestra pit but told nobody because he decided it was none of his business.

Occasionally, Nya, Pixal, and Skylor hang out with the group. Skylor and Pixal are both a year lower, and Nya is two years lower.

Nya hangs out with them because she also struggles with making friends her own age and honestly, she just thinks Kai's friends are cool. She and Jay get along like a house on fire. It's bad news for everyone involved.

Skylor really only hangs out with the group after she and Nya started dating, but they also like to do their own thing. Pixal initially had a puppy dog crush on Zane, but it fizzled out when she realized they were in over their head for their friends.

They're all part of the school's gender and sexuality alliance run by Gravis and Bolobo.

They've all met each other's parents. They help Cole come out to her father because Lou is a bit stuffy and old-fashioned, so he understands nothing about gender and sexuality. It works out in the end though, and he accepts Cole for who she is.

By senior year, Cole, Jay, and Zane are all dating each other. Kai feels a little ostracized when he finds out, but gets over it eventually.

It's Jay who gets the idea Kai needs a bf and starts the Kai x Shade ship train.

The bets begin. They all ship it hard. Nya gets involved.

During prom, Jay is spying on Kai and Shade and texting Nya all the details.

Cole goes along with it because she thinks it's cute. Zane is a little more hesitant but if it's what their partners think is a good idea, then why not? What's the harm?

Kai is PISSED when he finds out. Shade is even madder.

Eventually the squad works up the courage to apologize. It's Zane's idea and they beat into Cole and Jay's head why you shouldn't pressure people into relationships.

They all attend Ninjago City University afterwards. Zane becomes a history major, Cole double majors in visual arts and drama, Jay is a biology major with a minor in computer science, and Kai studies political science.

Ronin, Book 1, Chapter 24

Koga should have been happy all things considered, but with all parties returned to the capital, their ranks had swelled to nearly the city’s capacity. Despite the surrounding land still being thick with mercenaries, foraging parties were now having to go out almost constantly with Akita or Shiba guards. The cats were doing their part too, though they seemed intent on supplying fish and poultry exclusively, something many of the woodlanders and refugees would not eat. With more hungry mouths arriving every day, along with multiple additional armies in the next few weeks if all went well, Koga knew he was running out of time. He needed his allies here now and he needed the Hokkaido to commit to a second assault on his lands soon after. Anything less would mean long slow deaths for the thousands of beasts milling about beneath him. 

He had called an emergency council, comprised of the same members as the original war council, and he knew they would be arriving any moment now. He’d met with all parties involved separately already and knew that he had some beasts he needed to keep an eye on. The Shiba were furious with Nekona and her runners, as was Denji. They had acted rashly, there was no question there, but Koga understood why. If it had been his beasts up on crosses, he’d have done the same. It made his fur stand on end each time he realized it, but damn it he would have.

Outside of that debacle there was the bargain with the ninja to consider. Ronin had not erred in his determination to win them over, but he had made grand promises that Koga was going to have to keep long after the Amur cat had left this land behind. The issue of warrants and associated debts was not a major one, these poor beasts could never have paid them anyway, but the bit about recognition…

That was not for Koga to decide. He would keep that information to himself for now, he had to, but it would be a problem that would reappear the second the day was won. He’d need to think hard on it until then. 

The sound of the massive council chamber doors being opened behind him announced the arrival of the other shoguns. There would be no seconds today, not even Denji or Yuriko. The war effort was well underway and the time for council was over; the Shoguns must lead their clans to victory or ruin now. There were no other paths before them.

-----------------------------------------------

Ronin took a seat uneasily as the four other shoguns surrounded him, none looking pleased. Ronin had heard about the fight at the monastery, about Nekona’s mad dash into the fray and Gorudo’s efforts to keep her alive. It was an epic tale, a future bard’s song to be sure, but it had opened a rift between the clans. Nekona saw her vendetta against the Hokkaido as personal now and the Shiba had made it clear they would not work with her or her runners again. Ronin did not know how much of a problem this would be for Koga during the next phase of his plans, but he hoped the dog could work around it.

“Thank you all for joining me,” Koga said after calling the council into session. “I’m sure you all know by now how each other's efforts went. There is little to discuss in that regard. I know there is tension between some of you, that is understandable.” The Shiba did not look like they agreed with this, while Nekona kept an aloof look on her face, as if this hardly pertained to her. “Our goal now is to bring as many of our allies here as possible, as quickly as possible. The response from the Shika may not have been ideal, but if we can convince the others to join us-”

“If,” Nekona said loudly. “If, Master Koga. By your own admission the Shika were our best shot at early allies and here we sit without them.”

“Do you suggest we simply give up then?” Souta said more harshly than usual in his gruff voice. “Or is a second full on assault with no thought put into it about to be proposed?”

“Must I take this kind of abuse from such a decrepit old hound?” Nekona hissed and Souta’s eyes bulged angrily.

“Enough!” Ronin was shocked at how forcefully the words had left him. “Fools. Both of you. We cannot give up nor has it been suggested. The Shika’s response was not what we had hoped, I am as disappointed as the rest of you, but we have as much reason to believe the Aguma and the Inoshi will join as we did the Shika. I shouldn’t have to remind any of you that we have not been denied outright. Damn it, we have even gained allies, the entirety of the ninja and their tenth clan, to add to the bargaining table in the future. We should not be bickering as if all hope were already lost. Our position is stronger than the last time we met. We need only stay the course.”

“Sadly not all of us have lands to give away to sweeten the deal,” Gorudo said matter of factly. “The maneuver with the ninja was deft, I’ll give you that. You’re either the stupidest or most charitable beast alive. Regardless, we’ll need more than the rumor of a ninja alliance to sway the boar or the badgers. Both are proud beasts and fiercely protective of their lands. I see it as highly likely that they refuse to leave them and instead choose to die where their ancestors are buried.”

“Then we use that,” Koga said. “If they think the Hokkaido will leave their lands untouched, they are fools. Every clan knows that the tribes bury their dead with their earthly wealth; do they really believe the Hokkaido will leave that type of value in the ground?”

“A dangerous suggestion to make,” Nekona hissed.

“These are dangerous times,” Koga replied. 

“I think we need to decide who is going where to do what,” Gorudo said. “If the Shiba and Nekomata refuse to work together, not a bad decision in my estimation, the Irotomi will accompany Shiba forces to the Aguma lands. They will be impressed to see dogs and cats working together. That alone might win them over.”

“That sounds agreeable to me,” Souta said, still in a bit of a huff.

“Then the Nekomata march for the Inoshi?” Nekona said, not sounding happy.

“No,” Koga said. “I will do that myself.” The table seemed shocked into silence. “The Inoshi know me by name and reputation, but I hope that when they see my face, that I have come deep into enemy territory to reach them, they will know that we are serious and worthy allies.”

“That is far too great a risk,” Nekona said.

“Agreed,” Gorudo and Souta said in unison.

“It is not our decision to make,” Ronin said, nodding to Koga who looked grateful for the support, not that he needed it. “I tend to agree with Master Koga though. The Inoshi are prideful warriors; none of us will impress them the way the Akita Shogun will.”

“You’ll have to pass by the army we just escaped or cross the mountains and take the long way,” Gorudo said.

“I will worry about my route, Master Gorudo,” Koga said. “The urgency of the moment will not be lost on me.”

“Who will oversee the capital then?” Souta asked.

“Why I was hoping you would, old friend?” Koga smiled.

“I suppose an ancient and decrepit creature like myself is still capable of that,” Souta huffed, though he looked pleased.

“Then I suppose I am going to the swamps?” Nekona said, an eyebrow raised.

“No, I think not,” Koga said. “Ronin has already selected companions for that journey if I understand correctly?”

“I have,” Ronin nodded. “And if we’re traveling the way Master Koga has hinted at, we’re at capacity.” The Akita shogun had mentioned something about a friendly sea eagle being willing to help them, but Ronin would believe it when he saw it. Birds were a fickle bunch. 

“Then I suppose I’ll take up knitting or some such task until the war begins,” she spat.

“Actually I was wondering if you would be willing to accompany commander Tengo and Mistress Yuriko on a covert mission I’d prefer to keep to myself for now,” Koga said, piquing the she-cat’s interest. “Mistress Yuriko has conveyed to me that you are a beast that commands respect and whose presence is useful during negotiations.”

“Mistress Yuriko is too kind,” Nekona said, though she seemed annoyed again.

“If our message to the tribes is well received,” Souta said, ever practical, “shall we have them march directly to our aid or hang back to serve as a harassing presence to the wolves' flanks and rearguard?” 

“We will make that decision when the time is nearer,” Koga said. “The Eagle King has vowed to keep hawks at my beck and call so that word may travel more quickly. They will also do their best to keep bats out of the skies, but they are rightly wary of enemy longbows and will not expose themselves just to further our cause. Do not rely on them too heavily, but be grateful they have thrown their lot in with ours.”

“Are we adjourned then?” Gorudo said, already rising.

“We are,” Koga nodded. “Go forth with speed and luck on your side. May we meet again soon.”

-----------------------------------------------

As the chairs scraped around her, Nekona moved quickly towards the Akita shogun. His offer of a secret mission was intriguing, but she knew there was a chance it had just been a ploy to keep her temper cool. It irked her that she had lost control so publicly, but she did not regret it. The fury burning in her chest would stay well fed until she came within katana’s reach of wolves once more. 

“Ah, I did not expect you to give me time to get away,” Koga laughed as he saw her coming, She was not amused.

“I’ll not have you keeping me out of the action,” she said firmly. “Let’s hear your big plan then?” The others were gone now and there was no one to keep this secret from. If there even was one.

“Secret was a bit of a misnomer,” he said, holding his paws behind his back. “I’m sending a small group of emissaries to one of the bears that lives up in the mountains. Oba, Tengo says he’s called.”

Nekona closed her eyes tightly and prayed for patience. “The bears are not a group Master Koga, as you well know. They are listless, solitary vagabonds and strong beasts that terrorize or dominate whatever patch of land is unfortunate enough to house them. How many can there even be on the island? They all come from across the sea from what I know.”

“Our estimates range from ten to twenty-five,” Koga said, “but your characterization of them as rogues is unwise. Any beast can turn bad, wise ones know this by the time they’re out of their adolescence, I’m surprised you don’t.”

“Don’t try to shame me, Master Koga,” she said defiantly. “We’ve had to drive more than a few bears from our lands over the years, always at great cost.”

“All the more reason to court them,” Koga said. “I know the Hokkaido won’t. Kyokan likes to think that he is the most powerful and fearsome beast on the island; the bears do not fit in well with that image. This course of action is only prudent.”

“Why send me?” she asked, changing tact.

“Same reason we’re sending a mixed force to the Aguma,” Koga said. “Bears respond to strength and signs of respect; a mixed force brings both. Not to mention having the Nekomata shogun present only heightens the prestige of the party.”

“This is a fool’s errand,” she hissed angrily. “The second you’ve sent me on in so many days.”

“You are welcome to remain as a guest in my home or accompany me south, though I won’t have room for your runners in my party; we will be traveling in secret and with as few beasts as is safe,” Koga offered.

“Bears or pigs,” she mused under her breath.

“You must choose quickly. I have preparations to make,” Koga said.

“I’ll follow your dogs to this Oba,” she sighed after a moment. “It is folly, I’m telling you this now, but if we can even convince one...you’re right, it would be worth the journey.”

“I appreciate your willingness to help our alliance,” Koga bowed. “My esteem for the Nekomata and their leader grows by the day.”

“As it should,” Nekona said and she turned to go. She had to find Yuriko and thank her for her kind words.

Zanmataisei Demonbane (2022) characters. Chapter 5: The ash

Chapter 5 The ash - A Poem of Evil

"This is a room the of throne. The gloom is heald at bat by the light of torches. In those ever-burning sacred flames one can sometimes catch the glimpse of outerworldly shadows. Is this really an illusion?

Six shadows, illuminated by the torches, danced back and forth around the empty throne." The grimoire "Necronomicon" has manifested in this universe."

She has a cruel personality and a rough tone of voice. She is always filled with anger and hates the way the world is. Although she is a dangerous girl, she is quite honest when it comes to the magician she has made a contract with.

Ayato

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Bisexual

open roleplays

Modern RP AU

Ayato is a person that does not like to show his face in public often, preferring to work on his duties as the Yashiro Commissioner. A well-known fact about him is that he's extremely busy and stressed, as he has to deal with corrupt government officials while juggling his duty as the leader of the Shuumatsuban. Due to his duties, he loathes small talk, wanting people to get to the point. He uses a large array of methods to deal with corrupt officials, usually within legal bounds.

While he is not particularly well known due to his preference to remain behind the scenes, those who are familiar with him note that he is incredibly kind and has inspired loyalty from many people. For example, Hirotatsu states that he continues to serve the Yashiro Commission to repay the generosity that he showed him and his master and it is strongly implied that Ayato was the one who inspired Thoma to the point the latter received a Vision. Ayato has stated that he highly values loyalty and obedience (hence his preference for dogs), as strongly implied that there were numerous assassinations against him in the past, hence why he values those two traits so much to protect himself from rival clans and organizations.

Despite his succession as the family head at a young age, he appears to be a mature and determined man, notably even more than Ayaka, who's known for her steadfastness. Like Ayaka, Ayato cares for the well-being of the common people. He is also a family man, as he had taken the position of Commissioner per his parents' wishes to also protect Ayaka, stating that he would not forgive any who would harm his family and wanting to ensure that Ayaka had others to rely on when she needed it.

Ayato is also known to be cunning and mischievous, as both the Shogun and Yae Miko note him as unpredictable and tricky to understand, with the latter strongly disliking him as a result. Nonetheless, he is tolerated by both for upholding the Shogun's will for the former and their duties generally aligning for the latter. Hiratsuka notes that whenever he hangs out with Thoma, he ropes him into eating strange food, causing Thoma to become terrified whenever he sees him. Itto remarks that Ayato is a "warrior" with great charisma, and that the two are "on the same wavelength". He is also able to find Sayu with ease despite not appearing to have much ninja training, even though the rest of the Shuumatsuban have difficulty locating her.

Dear Diary.

As I’ve got some time on my hands and I saw a post elsewhere about this, now senior citizen, I had the pleasure of knowing.

The only thing that makes my heart break is that it’s a dog. We have several ideas about our pets and our companions. The first thing that we need to know is that they are actually happy to see us when we come back home. I’m of the belief that they are our family members and not just a cat or dog. To my knowledge, that’s on the list but it’s there.

I’ve had both, cats and dogs over the years. I remember our first dog, Sargent Pepper. Yes, we got him the same year the album was released. If I think about him, I think he escaped the house and was never found.

Then we had Rasselas, The Prince of Abyssinia, or Kitterpugel as he was known as by us. He was a wonderful cat. He knew when folks had no use for a cat. So two different men, both who stood over six feet tall, he jumped up onto their shoulders and then went limp around their necks to play his favorite game, mink stole. Yeppers. He’d drape himself around your neck and just stay there until he was ready to leave.

I’m sure that Kitterpugel was at least 18 months old when he came into my life and I think that was 1969/1970…he passed away peacefully in 1985. 16 years. Gawd he was a great cat.

The others were, Antigone (Weeny), Squeaky, Max (Maxeo) Othello and Belle Kitty. The dogs were, Tabitha (Saluki), Zoey Millwood (Pekingese), Chase Manhattan (Dachshund), Augustus Caesar (Dachshund), The Brother Levi (Deer Head Chihuahua).

But I’ve got to mention the other loves of my life, Kipsy, Minuet, Miss Dallas Fort Worth, Boogie, Ninja. Those darn cats. Plus, Asa Fasa, Colby, Fiona, Whimsy, Dexter, Tay Tay, Delilah, Pintie, and Iggy. Those fucking lunatic dogs. The personalities.

Now, I’m faced with MuMu and CoCo. I believe that they are both soon to cross over The Rainbow Bridge. It sucks worse than a vacuum cleaner or a sump pump. It seems to literally rip your entire heart out and erases everything. Even though Kitterpugel has been gone for years now, I think of him. Though I’m sure not everyone has heard about The Prince of Abyssinia.

Some how like Saleen Dijon continues to caterwaul, “…my heart will go on…” Cow. Yeah I know you’d remind me. “There’s always something to remind me.” Again, fuck you very much. Oh. You gonna try and look at my heart and say something about how I feel about the people who’ve passed. Talk about my feelings and my husband, my grandparents, aunts and uncles…? Then parse the minutiae of my animals and my humans? Bitch. Please. Step.

With the knowledge of MuMu and CoCo, my heart will still break and like humans, I will always say their names and they will always live in my heart forever and forever. Only when I stop thinking or saying their names, that’s when they will be forgotten but not by me, Motherfucker!

However there are some animals and people who are nothing to me but I don’t forget them either but my disdain for them is real. I mean I could not care any less than I already don’t about their passing but I don’t forget.

What I care about is how much they affected and effected the lives around them.

Even my Los Angeles based photographer, who I have mixed emotions about, I still think about his pain and the animals and people who were in his life.

I hate my life, sometimes.
