[apollosmusee]

this is for kwazii how did you handle lied your entire life going to you blamed yourself believing in believing or do you blame the people who let you know believe that you struggle with questioning reality are you getting help do you go to therapy? ( The creator of Au answer however you want I just really think be interesting to ask him about it)

[ DO NOT REPOST, ALL ART & CONCEPTS WERE MADE BY ME ]

“ Late Nights ”

Not my best work but honestly I’m just trying to distract myself from tomorrow. #retailworker + #blackfriday (if you know, you know)

I’m sorry Anon, & idk maybe it’s just me, but I had a really hard time reading this. I really only understood the first and last bits but everything else was kind of hard for me.

(If you’d like you’re welcome to send me another anon-ask explaining this one. And I’d be happy for the clarification to just be between the pair of us, I don’t have to post it if you don’t want me to.)

In response to the actual question . . .

I couldn’t really find an answer for you. I’ve always had the opinion that Kwazii wasn’t ever lied to, he just didn’t have all the puzzle pieces. Even with CJ I could never think up (canonically or non) any lies Kwazii was ever told. I do see CJ keeping certain information from him (on purpose or not) because he didn’t have time or it was a sore subject for him so Kwaz never pressed. But maybe I’m just reading their interactions wrong *shrug*.

Therapy? Definitely but I may touch on that in a later post.

However, by asking these questions I had a feeling we were in need of some sad vibes, so I hope you enjoy. It’s not much but it’s the best I could do at the moment. If you can’t tell, the picture is of Kwaz and Em cuddling while he’s having an episode, and I feel like it’s really matching my energy tonight.

~

And to all of my other followers I do apologize to you as well. I haven’t been able to do anything creative this week. I’ve been working nonstop picking up shifts for my sick/recovering coworkers and basically working the floor by myself during one of the busiest weeks of the year. I’m extremely spent/stressed and I still have two more shifts to work before Sunday.

So with all that said, since I��ll be very busy working Black Friday, unfortunately I won’t be able to get to those remaining Octonauts headcanons I promised. Which feels super crappy but right now there’s nothing I can do.

I hope you’ll forgive me, and maybe I can win your favor next week with some Emma/Cap Barnacle content. But for now I hope your day goes well, have a Happy Thanksgiving / National Native American Heritage Day and please . . . take care of yourselves. 💙🍪

[ This is a Octonauts AU, in no way is this canon to the OG storyline. ]

idk if the show that goes wrong is going to be a hyperfixation or not but it is funny that i found a new fictional showrunner named chris that i wanna beat with sticks (affectionate)

[laceratedlamiaceae]

Looking at a transcript of episode 10 and I love how you can feel Izzy's fear just from reading this

And, um, in the meantime, maybe, you could, you know, polish things, or, maybe, swab the deck.

๋࣭⭑ Devlog #41 | 5.28.24 ๋࣭⭑

It's hot girl (/gender neutral) summer season

HAPPY MAY!!

Hope you're all doing well <3 We're already getting into summer, which is a little crazy to me. The year is flying by! Before I get into what we actually did this month, it wouldn't be a May devlog without our annual Mermay celebration!

Look at those locks. His Ariel/Rapunzel era fr

Since I already had updated Mermay pieces for the Alaris LIs, I decided to do one for our beloved Van this year ^^ Hope you all like it!

For writing this month, I spent a lot of it catching up on Etza edits. Being totally transparent, I wasn't Completely Happy with their route when their draft was finished. But now that I've started the editing process with Wudgey, I'm really excited to see how their route is shaping up!!! We've been fleshing a lot of little interactions out with their route, and I can already see Etza's character really starting to shine with these edits ^^

I've also been chipping away at Kuna'a's route! While it's nowhere near finished, I'm hopeful that this upcoming month will be the month of Kuna'a now that I don't have a bunch of releases I'm trying to balance. His route is also one of the ones whose outline is more fleshed out (Druk and Etza I would say were the least fleshed out, which might be why they also took a bit longer). So I'd love to see Kuna'a's first draft complete/almost complete by the next devlog!

This month, I had to dust off my art skills tbh LMFAOIJSDF. It's been.... a WHILE since I've made CGs since I've been in the writing and coding dungeon for so long. So most of this month's art updates are me getting tilted from redrawing an ugly sketch over and over.

I DID manage to get the Van Mermay piece out. And I also was able to sketch out Kayn's Tragic End CG; that leaves only one CG that has to be sketched out! Currently, six of their CGs are finished, two need to be rendered, and one needs to be drawn still.

And since Kayn's CGs are mostly done, I've started drawing Fenir's. I was actually able to finish one because I basically Locked In when I made it, so here is a sneak peek!

Kisses his little pink nose

You might notice there's not toooo many updates on this month's devlog. The reason for that is because this month, I spent a lot of it recovering both mentally and physically. April shenanigans and those back-to-back releases took a lot out of me, and after going full speed basically since this year started, I learned I REALLY needed a break. That coupled with the concussion I got made it so that most of this month was focused on recovering and then getting back into the groove of things.

Another thing I tried to focus on this month was finding a balance in my workflow. Going into this month, I felt like I was on the verge of a mental breakdown almost every day, in large part because I have a lot of big things I'm trying to accomplish this year. Between finishing my dissertation, Alaris, and a personal big event that I have to plan, I have a lot on my plate this year, and it's made it easy to get overwhelmed as the months pass by. So I wanted to find a balance between all three that didn't make me feel like I was also falling into insanity. After talking to beloved Wudgey of @herotome fame, I've started adopting a schedule that gives me enough structure and flexibility to feel like I'm making progress without going crazy and getting lost in the sauce.

While it's still early in the process, I'm really happy with the balance I've hit, and I'm feeling much more like myself now compared to a month ago!

I caught up on quite a few things in my backlog this month, which made me happy ^^ I always like to learn from and support other devs, so finally being able to return to that helped with the recovery process <3

I don't have any actual fanart pieces, but there are a couple of games I'd like to highlight!

First of all, of course I must talk about our hot girl (/gender neutral) summer cross-promo. If you haven't checked out these games, I can't recommend them enough!!

Links to each game can be found on the Alaris Game page under the magic and mystery otome section!

Specifically, Save the Villainess, The Good People, and Thorn for the Villain are amazing games if you're into thriller/political games layered with mystery

The Silent Kingdom (which I played recently and is AMAZING) and Dual Chroma (Otojam 2023 ALLY) have added mechanics of RPG for exciting action-adventure fantasy stories

Lost in Limbo, Obscura, and Snow White Ashes are BEAUTIFUL dark fantasy games. I've played all three of these and they have some of the most beautiful writing and visuals... BIG FAN OF ALL OF THEM.

Mask Beyond Lies and Sigh of the Abyss have that epic fantasy adventure appeal to them, in a way that I think is similar to Alaris! And Pearlglow Cafe (another Otojam 2023 ALLY) is a very lighthearted and charming game for those of you who like the comfy vibe that most of my stories have!!

Some other games that I played are Favor (@favorvn) by beloved @concreteparasite which is SOOOOO stylish. If you've played Binary Star Hero by Connie, you can expect that same stylish, dark, sultry vibe from Favor. If you haven't checked out either of those games by Connie, I can't recommend them enough, especially if you like yanderes. There is so much aesthetic and atmosphere to them!

I also played Where Winter Crows Go by @prikarin who is a VERY talented developer (and one I'm sure many are familiar with). I had a lot of fun romancing Crowe and both the MC and him have such strong personalities, it was so fun seeing their dynamic!!!! The CGs were also made by anta, who is the dev behind Thorn for the Villain, and they're BEAUTIFULLLLL. Each one has so much style and rly has a professional look to them. Can't recommend enough if you haven't played already ((heads up that it is another yandere game for those who can't do yandere!))

Okay I've yapped enough. If you've made it this far, you are god's strongest soldier LFMASLDIFJ. See you all next month with hopefully some exciting progress!

[anxiousnerdwritings]

Ned would just passively accept it too 😭 So long as Brandon and Catelyn get married then House Stark’s bloodline will continue, so it’s fine, right? But they’ll end up fostering Mya Stone and Eric Storm so they can have their own little family

Since the marriage most likely wouldn’t even really be seen as a real marriage in Westeros Himbo!Baratheon!Reader really tries to make it right with Ned feeling like he completely screwed up his life. Himbo!Baratheon!Reader is so apologetic for dragging Ned into this that he tells him that he can go off and be with Ashara and be happy with her in Starfall and they don’t have to be anything akin to a married couple whatsoever.

But Ned is fully committed to this marriage no matter what. And he’s gonna stay loyal to his man.

Meanwhile Lyanna is absolutely envious that her brother ended up with her man. Rhaegar is on the verge of a mental breakdown and crashing out. Aerys has had about a hundred full breakdowns if not more. Rhaella is even more lonely than she already was and desperately misses Himbo!Baratheon!Reader and his comfort. Robert is a rollercoaster of emotions. Stannis is honestly perplexed and at a loss for words at everything that’s transpired. Renly is barely hanging on. Cersei is out for blood. Jaime doesn’t know what the fuck is going on anymore and is totally not reeling from the loss of having Himbo!Baratheon!Reader’s presence to annoy him throughout the day anymore. Tywin is stewing and plotting. Brandon is a little jealous but also totally hyping Ned up for not only pulling Ashara Dayne but being able to snag Himbo!Baratheon!Reader too. And Ashara is more than happy to take both of them and live happily in Starfall together.

[thatnonameuser]

School must be so crazy over there….

“Ace: ugh, the next period is potion but at least we get to see how to make a love potion to drug darling other than the other boring stuff”

“Mc: you fucking what”

You're in for a rough time, but remember, people know how darlings act there. You wouldn’t want someone to find out that you're not a yandere like them and taking care of you.

Another thing is that you'll also learn how to counter them so you aren't in total danger.

Either way, MC is going to be on the verge of a mental breakdown constantly.

[adiluv-moved]

omg omg going off your obsessed scara can you imagine how he'd react if you got with somebody???? boy would go crazy

❥ 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍. ˚⊹꒷

a continuation of this post.

796 words. modern au, obsessive fan behavior, stalking, suggestive, reader is not traveler, not edited.

superfan scaramouche who is initially ecstatic when your group's official accounts announce an upcoming tour within inazuma, hours that he could've—should've spend asleep instead being dedicated to scouring your accounts for venue announcements and pre-sale dates. he goes into a frenzy once the information drops, pulling all-nighters in order to secure tickets at every one of the concerts.

superfan scaramouche who has, as mentioned previously, seen you in person before—attending previous performances both within his home nation and travelling abroad to attend the tours that weren't. but, archons, he just can't control his excitement when it comes to you, having him acting as if it were his first concert.

the chance of seeing his favorite idol while going about his day-to-day, encountering you at all his favorite spots in the city, the possibility of something romantic... his delusional little mind just can't help but jump at it!

superfan scaramouche who personally visits each and every large hotel within inazuma city, convincing ꒰manipulating꒱ them into providing any information they have about exactly where you and your groupmates will be staying. he'll make sure that you, specifically, have the best room in the entire building—anonymously shelling out his own money for sake of upgrading you and you alone.

superfan scaramouche who lurks around your hotel in the same baggy clothing he'd used to disguise himself whilst meeting you, an ominous presence hidden in the crowd that can't help but unsettle you during attempts to go sightseeing before your first show. your nervous expressions are even more intoxicating in the snapshots he takes of you, tucked away in a corner of his room for personal viewing.

superfan scaramouche who has his delusions unceremoniously shattered when his lurking leads him into a bar, eyes wide as saucers and mouth agape as he watches you converse and—and kiss another man that approaches you! despite the stabbing feeling within his chest, he's left totally unable to act as the both of you—intoxicated—stumble out the doors, instead rushing home in tears and on the verge of a mental breakdown. he... doesn't sleep that night.

superfan scaramouche who eventually manages to convince himself that your betrayal is really nothing more than a one-night stand. after all, you certainly couldn't have been in your right mind꒰!꒱ allowing such an... insignificant pest to whisk you away. surely, you must've come to your senses by morning, felt so ashamed by your low standards that you'd come shamefully crawling back to your room.

... only to be proven wrong as he catches you sneaking out during the evening, face hidden beneath an oversized hoodie as you went to go entertain that miscreant yet again. he's in far worse spirits when he returns home, tearing his room apart and destroying half of his merch collection before coming to his senses.

superfan scaramouche who comes to regard this affair of yours as a mistake, even if you aren't exactly aware of it yet. nothing but a mar, if you will, on the perfection that comprises your very being. he's well versed in the dramas of the idol industry, knows well that agencies often exert total control over the lives of their idols. living beneath a ceo's thumb must get exhausting, he decides, a justifiable line of reasoning for this... act of rebellion. it's that worm's fault, really. taking advantage of somebody sweet as you—capitalizing on your naïvety.

superfan scaramouche who, as much as he doesn't want to, believes that there's merit in alerting your supervisors to your rendezvous. actions packaged under the guise of innocent concern, he emails photos of the two of you to your manager—intently eavesdropping on the commotion coming from the hotel that night. you cry until the early hours of morning, his heart aching with each muffled sob.

still, he feels no remorse for his actions, deeming your pain a necessary form of suffering. just like icarus, who flew too close to the sun, you too must learn not to play with fire—to avoid being burnt and falling from the sky.

superfan scaramouche who approaches you during one of your ꒰far more limited꒱ moments of downtime, pointing out the saddened look in your eyes and offering comfort when you vaguely detail your grievances. although there's something familiar about him and the words of praise that slip past his lips, the amount of fans you meet on a daily basis makes it impossible to place the connection—so you instead turn a blind eye and indulge in his comfort. he allows you to weep on his shoulder until your satisfied, the fabric moistened by your tears... revisited later that day.

"shh, shh... i know it hurts now, but really... this was all for the best."

I really love all of your thiollier x reader hcs, I need MORE!! do you think you could possibly write any fluffy hcs or scenarios you think could happen between a tarnished reader and thiollier that you haven't covered yet? maybe reverse comfort?

Thiollier x GN! Reader (Charm broken)

Warnings: no beta reader (we die like men), no implied neurodivergent Thiollier this time (i tried sorry), major spoilers for post charm breaking, mental breakdown, hurt comfort, yes I used quotes from the game, vomit, cringe ending

⚘ most days had been terrible in the shadow realm, especially when you weren’t around. You had become of Thiollier’s closest friends, and he found that the days you were away were the worst of them all.

⚘ today you were coming back from a long expedition, but something was suddenly different. At an instant, all the memories he had of St.Trina and all the overwhelming feelings came rushing into his head, and all his devotion to Miquella had snapped.

⚘ it was fast. As fast as you could blink, he was on the ground throwing up. It was too much for him to handle, everything coming back at once with no warning. All he could do was cling to the ground and cry from the excruciating pain.

⚘ when you had gotten back, he was back at his usual spot on the rock, but you had noticed vague hints of something being spilled on the grass ahead, and traces of pain and sorrow on Thiollier’s face.

“Hey! Are you okay? What happened?” You rushed at Thiollier at once and held, holding his face, moving his head around trying to inspect it. “Oh… um…” he whispered in a hesitant voice, “I’m feeling rather lost. Haunted by memories. Of St.trina,” he lowered his head, sounding like he was on the verge of total meltdown.

You smile and kneel down in front of him, “that’s fine. Do you need any help? Are you wanting to find her?” Thiollier stayed at the same hunched position he was at before and did not answer. You stood up, holding his hands to bring him up with you. “Let’s go lay down, okay?” He nodded and followed you to where you lay.

⚘ he met again with Sir Moore, and he learned that St.Trina may be in the south. Thiollier prepared for the journey everyday until he was ready to leave. You offered to go with him, but he denied.

⚘ you let him know that you support him in all his endeavors and that if he does not come back for a prolonged period of time, you will go to find him.

⚘ when it’s finally time for him to leave, you two have one final talk before he’s on his way. Right before he leaves, he gives you a hug and a peck on the cheek. He had to leave quickly when he realized he had his mask on and that he embarrassed himself for nothing. You did have a good laugh though.

Stray Kids Fic Recs-Demons

Hello! It is time for another group of fic recs, this time anything related to demons (ex. succubi and former "imaginary friends")! Demon summoning is one of my fav tropes so again if you have any recs that aren't on this list send them my way! Mostly Minsung with some others

My other fic rec lists:

Misc

Time Loop

Angst free

let me wrap the chains by saru (Minsung | 1/1 | 23,164 | explicit)

Pressure at the foot of the bed makes the mattress dip, and Jisung experiences what can only be described as waking up into a dream. His brain, foggy with short-lived and restless sleep, registers a number of things that might not make total sense but are received as facts, regardless: there’s a hand tugging at the waistband of his underwear, a pair of knees bracketing his own, and the distinct smell of fire in the air. In the darkness of his room, ruby red eyes trail up Jisung’s body before locking on his own. — or, Jisung’s late-night visitor turns out to not be quite as imaginary as he originally thought.

I love the world building in this one!

amber of ember by adisadatra (Minsung | 1/1 | 21,941 | Explicit)

Minho is tired. He’s so, so tired, and he’s felt unsafe in his own life since the day he discovered Seojoon and his lover in his bed. At work, in Minho’s flat, at his favourite park with the hideous fountain, he’s always listening for footsteps behind him, braced for impact and seeing danger everywhere with his nerves feeling peeled raw. He’s spiralling downward, he knows he is, and he’s not even sure what’s real anymore. Making a deal with a demon isn’t the worst-case scenario right now.

I loved this one! Basically Minho has a creepy ex and makes a deal with a demon (Jisung) to get revenge

above the trees by tentoheaven (Binsung | 1/1 | 30,245 | Explicit)

Changbin stares at him, still struggling to take in all of his features. It’s incredible how someone can look so different, yet still completely unchanged. “Jisung?” Part of him still holds onto the belief that the man will frown, maybe laugh mockingly, maybe ask ‘who the fuck is Jisung?’ and leave. Changbin isn’t sure whether that would be worse than the alternative. (Or: ten years after his abrupt disappearance, Changbin’s imaginary friend barges back into his life—not human, but very much real.)

I loved Changbin and Jisung's dynamic in this one! Minor 2min as well which is super cute

god knows we're lonely souls by flying_dream (Minchan | 3/3 | 34,864 | Mature)

Chan is a touch-starved producer. Minho is a sleep paralysis demon who has never known affection. They're not in love - they barely even know each other - but somehow they manage to make it work.

This is for sure my favorite on this list, if you only read one read this one!

exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation by yamesungie (Minsung | 1/1 | 4862 | Explicit)

format-default : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. “What the fuck do you mean, invocation? Am I coding or playing D&D? Do I have to roll a d20? Do a blood offering?” “Invocation is another term for a method call, you can thank me later.” “Hey, I was joking, I already-” knew that. Wait, what the- Jisung lets out a blood curdling scream and almost falls out of his chair as he turns his face away from his screen. The man standing next to him stares at him, arms crossed and an amused grin on his face. “What the fuck are you doing in my apartment?” "I feed off humans' lust, anguish and despair. It’s only natural I choose to target software developers past their bedtime, right?" (or: Jisung is a software developer on the verge of a mental breakdown, Minho is the incubus who visits him at 1am.)

Super silly concept and a short and sweet fic

How I Met My Demon by alcrox (Jeongsung | 1/1 | 17,447 | Explicit)

“Well, to my utter surprise, no demons were summoned,” proclaims Jisung dramatically. Now that the shooting is nearing its end, he feels decidedly more chipper. Less faking it. “Fuck you too, demons.” He swipes a broad hand over the glitter, messing it up even more. It looks like there has been a bloodbath in the room, only the blood is shiny and glittery and sticks everywhere. “Now-” “I swear to hell, what is your problem?” Jisung jumps. Violently.

5 times Jisung summons a demon and 1 time he doesn’t.

Where Jisung is a youtuber and summons a demon as a joke. Love this one!!

And that's all I have for demon fics! Like I said before if you have any (or any other fic I haven't recced yet) that you've liked that aren't on this list please send! My next ideas for fic rec lists are fantasy, fake dating, and college au--if you want me to do one of these first also lmk!

[luxxtuxx]

you’re comfortable writing it, you could have reader have adhd and that means she forgets things a lot, lots of things being necessary things like eating and putting on her glasses/ contacts, you could have her forget to eat one day and since hobie is busy he can’t check her vitals until he pays her an impromptu visit and sees that she’s super tired and sluggish and he realizes she hasn’t been eating (you could totally take this any route you want I just think it would be cute if he sets himself an alarm to check her vitals just incase)

Her Condition After Week-Long Mission

Im changing up the plot a little because I can /hj

CW: Hobie being sappy, ACCURATE Potrail of ADHD (I have ADHD, so these are sorta based on real events).

Little quip: does anyone else go to use words, but they are so often used in a sexual manner that you gotta rephrase so you don't sound nasty?

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

Hobie knew of Y/N's Neurodivergentcy habits and made a pact with himself to not step in unless absolutely necessary. So the longer they were together, he always knew what needed to be stocked in the house at all times, and more ways to help during sensory overload.

This punk constantly checked on them, if he had the day off and they were hyper-focused on something, he'd keep all 3 different drinks at their respective temperatures and make sure they at least snack on something throughout working.

Then Miguel called him and told him he'd be gone on a mission for a week. Hobie knew it was important, so he tried to make sure they had everything in the apartment to be okay... with a kiss he left.

Day 1: Everything was normal, they woke up early, took a quick shower, started work, and worked all night, only breaking to go to the bathroom. They were so focused on work they had forgotten to eat something, and the light tinge from not eating they wrote off as 'Just missing Hobie"

Day 2: They felt a bit more drowsy than normal, but they made some eggs, ate half, and got distracted by the mountain of dishes, the dishes reminded them of the laundry, and doing the laundry reminded them to shower. And so by the time they remembered to sit down and work it was about....11:54pm Day 3: They had slept at their desk on accident so now, they were tired, in pain, and stressed because the boss moved the project date sooner. they only moved to go to the coffee pot and bathroom all day.

Day 4: They were knocked out in bed exhausted, they knew they had to keep working but they get so stressed out thinking about it. So at 8:30pm they grabbed hobies hoodie and sat on the floor curled up having mental paralysis because of the stress,

Day 5: The burnout started the fading hope of actually getting the work done. it came to the realization that for the past 2 days, they hadn't really eaten much.... sure they had snacked on some loose snacks and had a bunch of coffee, but no real full meals. They tried to shower to help calm the cricks in their back and how ill they were feeling

Day 6: They were back at work again pushing through, ignoring the stomach pain, and the headache. They had woken up and just felt like they were on the verge of a breakdown. Everything was too much right now, they just wanted their comfort human, comfort blanket, and comfort food all in the same place. They were so overloaded sensory wise, they couldn't speak on the company Zoom calls, they were using the chat, and even that felt like too much

Day 7: It was the day hobie came home... it was the day they had off from work. They drifted around like a zombie. They managed to eat a bowl of cereal in between waking up and taking a nap. After that nap, they just sat on the bed completely zoned out... after what felt like maybe 5 minutes, the clouds were gray and hobie was stepping through his portal.

When hobie saw they zoned out, all the coffee mugs towering on the desk and how pale they were. he knew immediately what happened. He quickly got out of all his spider gear, and he made sure to be careful as he moved them to lie down. He kissed their forehead... "Oh, my angel of music... it's okay, just rest. Tomorrow and Tuesday call in sick and I won't take any mission and we can just spend the next two days getting back into our routine, does that sound good?"

They meekly nod as they finally put themselves under the covers of the bed. "Im sorry, it was so much, the boss moved the project date up sooner. I really tried hobie. I mean it I really tried" they sniffle. hobie hugged them tightly and nods "I know angel, and I'm proud you tried, now rest."

BONUS: The next day in the evening

"Hobie..... thank you for everything," Y/N said cuddled into his chest, wrapped in their favorite blanket, eating their comfort food, watching their comfort movie. Hobie just hums "So explain to me again why you like this movie so much??"

As a kabouter, Cosmo is less prone to expressing insect behaviors than gynes and drones.

Cosmo has been exposed to so much forget-a-cin since the end of the war (Mostly self-inflicted) to the point that his mind is very scrambled beyond what it was before. Random bits of knowledge leak through, but his poor memory affects him physically and emotionally.

He's fought depression for most of his life, often in parallel to Anti-Cosmo's mania. Postpartum depression hit hard.

BACKGROUND

Self-Perception: Not that bright and tries to avoid being held responsible for his actions, but a guy who’s sweet, caring, and loyal at his core.

Alignment: Neutral Good MBTI: INFJ Deadly Sin: Gluttony and Wrath Heavenly Virtue: Forgiveness Love Language: Acts of service Reinforcers: Hyggekrog evenings, praise, attention from Wanda, his mother's love, his sons telling him he's a good dad

Personality: Cosmo has a very creative mind and always wants to find the upside to every situation... He isn't always in the mood to try, but he loves fun and loves when others have fun along with him.

As a kid, Cosmo had an open mind, a big imagination, and a lot of love to give. He adored his older brother even though Schnozmo found him a little tiresome and annoying. Nonetheless, the brothers got along in their early years.

Cosmo was a clingy mama's boy turned clingy husband- He loves Wanda and isn't afraid to say so. He loves Wanda and doesn't feel even a little guilty that she dumped Juandissimo for him, leaving her long-time ex-boyfriend - Technically her fiancé at the time - confused and brokenhearted. He loves Wanda and didn't care what that might do to Anti-Cosmo or Anti-Wanda... He loves Wanda. Everyone else just has to deal with it.

Cosmo is a caring father who tries to focus on emotional care, not just physical security. He takes time to speak to his godkids and his sons, asking how they're doing and trying to set them up for healthy solutions and social success. He's a little overconfident at times, offering help for things he doesn't know the answers to. He enjoys feeling helpful and takes great pride in fatherhood and caretaking- He loves his kids very much.

As a godparent, Cosmo tries to keep kids engaged and show them that every day can be fun if you make time to play and goof around. This can certainly get out of hand - See also, the Not Study Game - but Cosmo wants nothing more than to make people laugh...

... If only he felt like he understood the difference between joking around and crossing a line.

Education: Mostly homeschooled during Spellementary and middle school, except for when he wasn't. He participated in a few on-campus activities, including school plays, but mostly kept near Mama Cosma.

High School: Attended Carl Poofypants High for his last 10 years; homeschooled prior that Further Education: Fairy Academy - Godparenting

Favorite Magic Subject: Intro to Gravity Manipulation

Least Favorite Magic Subject: Special Cases of Da Rules

Favorite Non-Magic Subject: Applications of Quantum Mechanics

Least Favorite Non-Magic Subject: Physical Education - It may seem like physics, but it isn't as fun as it sounds

History: Cosmo entered the Cosma family at a difficult time. His father’s addiction to gambling and unfortunate early death left them deep in debt to Big Daddy Fairywinkle, his restless brother Robin was starting to get into trouble, and his mother fought every day to hold them together as a happy family.

Cosmo was born with a mutation that left his magic unstable, and actually leaves him unable to channel magic at all if he doesn’t regularly drink the hormones present in Fairy nursing milk. He keeps a baby bottle-shaped thermos on hand at almost all times just in case he needs a recharge. Though not the first to show the mutation, he quickly became the most recognized when he caused chaos and destruction throughout Fairy World as a child.

Cosmo has been in and out of trouble with the Fairy Council his entire life. After accidentally killing hundreds during his Terrible Twos and prompting the No Fairy Babies mandate, he was just as infamous as a child in Fairy World as Poof is adored. Which means the Fairy Council had (and still has) very few qualms about using him as a pawn when Anti-Cosmo arrived on their doorstep to beg the mandate be lifted so he may father an heir. But, that was a long time ago, and he’d rather you didn’t make him revisit those memories...

Growing up, Cosmo liked to play outside, but was always under his mother's eye. Even so, he learned to skateboard, played with neighborhood kids, and did okay in school. He begged to get a job and saved his own money to get a car, which he named Darla (and whom he cares deeply about).

Prompt #70 - "Repeat" - opens with teen Poof begging to drive Darla to sports practice and Cosmo hesitant to let him go.

Cosmo was an avid reader in his younger years before Fairy World’s (and his mother’s) extreme preference for brawn over brains made him feel stupider and stupider until finally he gave the hobby up... as far as you know. His lack of physical strength got him bullied frequently as a child, so his mother pushed him to train at the Fairy Academy.

He’s never been the brightest, but because he’s always been fascinated with stars, politics, and energy sources, he can tell you a lot about all three (in his meandering Cosmo-ish way). He met Wanda during their adolescence, sold Darla to pay for her medical bills after accidentally running her over, and has been smitten with his sweet little wildflower ever since. And as luck would have it, Darla ended up in his hands once again.

Of course, even Cosmo has his secrets. Though extremely self-conscious any time he’s caught reading (even by Wanda), he still spends his free time writing. He’s published multiple books about complicated aspects of the magical world (such as gravity manipulation, fairy biology, and the Big Wand) translated into layman’s terms, in addition to several children’s books. Picture books for kids are his personal favorite.

He’s dabbled in political criticism and has played a more influential role in that field than he wants to believe. Since hints of his political alignments are sprinkled across his works, many are shunned from schools. His picture book How the Honeybees Say Goodnight is completely banned almost everywhere in Fairy World, while Pixies and Anti-Fairies adore it.

Cosmo sees his books as innocent and finds Fairies’ reactions very confusing (they only contribute to the negative way he sees himself and his mind). He struggles with more self-deprecating thoughts than he likes to let on.

All good things must come to an end, especially when Cosmo is involved. When revolts broke out in Fairy World (after the War of the Angels) and stuck-up, eggheaded, pro-Anti-Fairy know-it-alls were under fire, Cosmo panicked. He immediately destroyed most of his writing and changed his focus in school from Astrophysics to Godparenting.

He’s been cowering on the outskirts of Fairy World in self-inflicted exile ever since, lying low in Wanda’s shadow and maybe, maybe playing a little dumber than he really is. Just a little, of course. I wouldn’t suggest asking him about those books… or too much else about his past. Who are Westley and Nixie? ... No one you need to know, I'm sure.

While his past was wrought with fear, self-loathing, and bouts of depression, Cosmo is actually doing well for himself nowadays, for the most part. Always an introvert, he loves to study and write about the stars and spend time with his wife. He actually knows a lot about politics, electricity, outer space, and the ins and outs of wands and magic. Most godkids just don’t ask.

Notable Likes:

- Wanda & his boys - His mama - Making games - Dressing up - Being liked and accepted - Having a place to call home - Cool skateboard tricks - Astrophysics - Dad's poetry - Personifying animals and objects for play - Visits with Westley - Letters from Nixie... if he had one!

Goals:

- Be loved - Make godkids happy - Accept and cherish his wife and sons no matter what - Stand up for himself and refuse to let Anti-Cosmo bully him around with politics - Study the properties of the Big Wand in greater detail - Write more books - Support Westley all he can - Make things right with Nixie

Beliefs:

- Holds no spiritual beliefs - Dad’s death is his fault - Blames himself for all the problems he’s directly or indirectly caused (in politics and Fairy World) - Wanda keeps him on track (and is the best thing to ever happen to him) - You can hide from all your problems if you act dumb enough

Fears:

- Rejection and abandonment - Forced separation from Wanda - Being unforgiven - The thought of his boys seeing him as incapable of caring for them, physically or emotionally - Interplanetary cheese shortage

Upsets:

- ... I can't remember. Neither can he. - Being lied to - Feeling ignored - Not being trusted with caretaking responsibilities - Jorgen prying things away from him - Anti-Cosmo... Just in general

Comforts: 

- Darla (His car) - Philip (His nickel) - Talking to godkids about their deepest thoughts - Cookies like Mama makes - Toys that remind him of the happy parts of his childhood - Feeding his babies or rocking them to sleep - Housework, especially in the garden (or anywhere he can try cute outfits while he cleans) - Knowing Wanda's always there, helping with paperwork and supporting him at his worst

Indulgences:

- Fancy dinners with Wanda - Roleplaying with godkids - Playing dress-up - Candles - Art supplies - Connect the dots puzzles (and mazes) - Hot chocolate - Candy and soda (Especially the sugary and salty stuff) - Writing time - Coin collecting

EXTERNAL

Verbal Notes: Long, run-on sentences. Cheerful in public but passive-aggressively savage to people he doesn’t like. Often obsessed with being “the fun one” since that’s what seems to win him love. Not one to swear, or to sit quietly while others swear with in his earshot.

Language: Speaks Snobbish fluently; knows some Lialia as well as a few words of Elrulian.

Physical Notes: His stomach acid can dissolve metal and his saliva can disable magic locks. His nose is disguised with magic; he actually has a long nose like his brother ("The Boy Who Would Be Queen").

Cosmo has wider hips than Wanda does. Post "Fairly Odd Baby," he has noticeable stretch marks around his pouch and abdomen.

Handedness: Right dominant Body Language: Has an aura of being both a supervisor and ready to play, more like a daycare employee than a full-time parent. Lots of widespread arms or hands propped on hips. Hands-on-hips is his go-to, though he sometimes crosses his arms when frustrated. Hair: Natural green, usually in two large scruffs. It was a single scruff in his youth and slowly morphs to three as he ages. As with Anti-Cosmo, I draw Cosmo with a 'C' tuft in the back of his hair. However, Anti-Cosmo's usually remains in the C direction while Cosmo's follows the position of his head. Teeth: If you looked at them closely, you'd be able to tell his are sharper than a human's and designed for eating meat. His are tough enough to resist his acidic saliva Wings: Common fairy wings mirror the globe skimmer dragonfly, granting their subspecies the unique ability to fly backwards. In line with common fairy marital tradition, Cosmo has three subtle commitment notches in his wings, mirroring the three punctures in each of Anti-Cosmo's wings. Make-Up Products: Pancake face and blush ("Nega-Timmy"). Scars: Small, random ones from a few injuries, especially during the war. Has a subtle turtle mark on his neck that reflects a magical symbol Anti-Cosmo has (from being the mortal host of the Water spirit, Sunnie). For the same reason, you can faintly see the mark of the Water year branded into the underside of his left wrist. Cosmo has a very blatant star-shaped scar over his midsection from his fagiggly gland transplant ("The Gland Plan"). Tattoos: Several colorful stars on his right hip, representing his kids.

Style: Dresses nice, blending his own desire to "do something right" and Mama Cosma's desire to see her boy looking nice. Cosmo could poof his buttons up with magic, but he likes the effort of getting out of bed and doing it by hand. When he's done, he's ready to eat food, which keeps him from lying in bed too long.

Overall, he leans towards cleanliness and things that take a little thought to put on, like dresses with corsets and ties. It's nice to feel accomplished and enjoy showing off! Tries to avoid skirts on the job due to hovering above godchildren.

Regular Clothing: White button-up shirts, black slacks, black tie Casual Clothing: Checkered button-up shirts, tank tops, or hoodies- Rarely T-shirts Nightwear: Striped top-and-bottoms with button-up shirts and a matching nightcap Other: Favors trunks for swimwear. Likes socks. Has his name written on most of his underwear (which he only sometimes wears - "Double-Oh Schnozmo").

Height: 3′6″ (Average for a fae)

Hygiene: Pretty good; Cosmo keeps his face clean for easy make-up application and does a decent job washing up. He keeps his teeth clean, not wanting to disappoint the Tooth Fairy.

Morning Schedule: Wake up before godkids if possible (For breakfast), but breakfast can be eaten throughout the day as needed. Be attentive- Ready to play and make suggestions!

Cosmo is usually awake earlier in the morning and later in the evening than Wanda, so she likes her blindfold. Cosmo often gets Poof and Dusty ready for the day (Or did when they lived at home).

Typical Day Schedule: Hang out with his godkid and try to make every day a unique, fun adventure!

On occasion, Cosmo visits his mama, but he tries to do so early in the day (Sometimes while godkids are at school). Mama Cosma blatantly tries to keep him late to throw off his intimate time with Wanda, which Cosmo is oblivious to.

Evening Schedule: Hang around godkid until curfew, then start to unwind. He and Wanda usually eat dinner when their godkids are still awake, but a late meal is sometimes necessary.

Wanda often gets some godparenting paperwork done while Cosmo relaxes with his books or coloring stuff (Plus a candle, cozy pajamas, and a hot chocolate). They often snuggle, but usually sleep in separate beds.

Being members of the common fairy subspecies, Cosmo and Wanda come into heat for 18 months every 500 years. They're more flirty and sexual during that time, but more cuddly and less sexual when outside their heat. -> See the Fairy Architecture post for info on the yidreamu- A special room in a Fairy house for mating, which is a big deal in Fairy culture (Given the long history of damsels dying afterwards)

Sleep Schedule: Light, restless sleeper, but usually sleeps pretty well despite that. Moves around and kicks a lot, so he and Wanda benefit from separate beds.

PERSONAL

Cosmo’s Family Tree: HERE

Relationship Status:

- Committed to Wanda as of the Winter of the Muddy Topsoil - Wedding Anniversary: The second Sunday of March each year

Ideal Relationship: Cosmo has a lot of self-doubt (and self-hatred) and wants someone in life who can support him without completely babying him (which pairs well with Wanda's love for taking charge). He enjoys Wanda as a steady, comforting presence in his life very much.

Sexuality: Romantically and sexually attracted to Fairies, especially those who play into overly feminine stereotypes for Fairy culture.

Attractiveness: Has extreme magical strength, which is very attractive in Fairy culture... and may play into why he was picked on throughout high school. Generally, Fairies see Cosmo as attractive, but "without the good sense to know how to use it."

He was very shunned by Fairies for writing books that went against traditional Fairy beliefs (such as proclaiming that stars are balls of gas rather than Fairies with wands) or for publishing political commentaries and pro-Anti-Fairy children's literature. The attractiveness definitely took a hit from that.

His disorganized set-up and frequent struggles with paperwork don't reflect well on him in Pixie culture. In Anti-Fairy culture, Cosmo's writing may attract attention, but his struggle to hold a stimulating conversation can cause interest to wane.

In general, Cosmo holds an air of mystery, distinction, and a sense of falling from grace. Some speculate a curse was put on him to take away his success (and brains). Others believe he fell from grace in the public eye, but his personality never changed. Still others believe the pressures of being turned on by society completely broke him, causing him to snap and change his life course.

Intimate History: Wanda is the only person he ever dated. Considers his first sexual experience to be with her, not long after the War of the Angels ended.

... Wait. Is that right?

According to rumor, he once had a fling with [REDACTED], but don’t try talking to him about it... You probably won't get answers and will send him into a mental breakdown.

- See also, the "Sentry" arc, the Frayed Knots chapter "The Delicate Art of Fudging Truth," and/or Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Pixies - First one has the mildest rating. Proceed with caution on the others.

Turn-Ons: Nice candles, cuddles, and playful teasing... Plenty of time for slow kisses and running his fingers in Wanda's hair. He tries not to pull it down since he really likes the way Wanda wears it up.

Cosmo and Wanda have a special game they play when they're in animal disguises, in which they really get into the roleplay and refer to one another by special animal terms. Timmy jumps any time he hears Cosmo refer to Wanda by the name for female dog.

During Cosmo's two pregnancies, they also flirted by bringing in words for baby animals like "Puppy," "Kitten," and silly ones they made up for inanimate objects. They flirt sometimes in animal form, and sometimes they don't flirt so much as groom each other and snuggle up.

Cosmo enjoys living every day of his life with Wanda and wouldn't do well in a long-distance relationship... That's for sure.

Celebrity Crushes: The Tooth Fairy; Blonda Fairywinkle

Blonda supported Cosmo a lot during a difficult time of his life. See also, Prompt #70 - "Repeat"

Current Love Interest: Wanda (Always and forever)

Other Important Relationships:

Juandissimo - Cosmo terrifies the man... They both know where they stand with each other, and Juandissimo keeps a mostly respectful distance away. Despite their mutual interest in Wanda, Cosmo doesn't mind Juandissimo as a person and considers him a peripheral friend; he even allowed him at his baby shower.

Anti-Cosmo - Needy, greedy, and always in the way. They're on very bad terms. Let's not talk about it anymore.

Anti-Wanda - Cosmo doesn't mind her presence, though there's no question Wanda Prime is a better match for him romantically. They don't frequently cross paths, but seem to be on significantly better terms than he is with Anti-Cosmo.

Foop & Smoky - Cosmo holds no clear ill will towards his counterpart's children. He considers them his nephews and lets them call him uncle, even tolerating Foop's use of "Uncle Idiot." He's babysat the boys a few times and does a surprisingly good job at mitigating their damage... I guess Mama Cosma rubbed off on him!

Jorgen - The focal point of many tough things in Cosmo's life, but they're distant cousins... And Jorgen's only rough because he cares. Right?

Emery - Head of the human godparenting division; Cosmo's boss. He gets along with her well enough, seemingly oblivious to Emery's blatant favoritism of him over Wanda (given that Emery is H.P.'s sister and their family has never gotten along well with the Fairywinkles).

Cupid - Not an easy guy to get along with, but his heart is usually in the right place. Cosmo admires him, but isn't his biggest fan. "Instantly exhausted by each other, but trying to push through the conversation politely anyway" is probably the best description of their relationship.

Timmy - Cosmo's long-term godkid who's both a hard worker and a lover of fun! They get along great.

Chloe - Cosmo admires her for being herself and indulging in "childish interests" like little kid shows and toys. He connects with her really well and often talks her through her feelings, especially when her anxiety kicks up.

Crŏ̸̧̝̓̓̉͝͝ckę̶̜̯̊͌̀̀͛̓r - ... Confusing. The one that got away.....

Sanderson - While they aren't close, Cosmo crossed paths with Sanderson a few times throughout his high school visits to Pixie World's laundromat. They vaguely know each other, though Sanderson's more familiar with Anti-Cosmo.

W̸̢̮̖̹̫͉̱̄̽̕ę̶̜̯̊͌̀̀͛̓s̸̛̠̺̼̬̘͊̓͌͌̔̿̕͝͝t̴̢̻̹̰͍̫̫͕̄̿ͅl̷̨̩̘͍̩͑̀̆̈́̿ẻ̶̹̲͙̬̻̋̈́͒͗̿̋̚ÿ̴̧̛̰́̄͗̀ - They're not close, but Cosmo's always hoping for his success. He and Wanda looked after Westley a couple times in his youth.

TRIVIA

- Cosmo’s middle name was revealed to be Julius in the printed comic “Baby Factory” (March 2007) and confirmed again in “77 Secrets of ‘The Fairly OddParents’ (Revealed)” - Fought the Anti-Fairies in the war over godkids ("Balance of Flour"). - Can’t use magic if he hasn’t been drinking his milk. - His signature was designed to look like it starts with K, as Cosmo often thinks his name does. - I color his skin a little darker than Wanda's; it comes from his dad's side of the family. - Has a Zappy award ("The Zappys"). - He’s allergic to potato skins (“Dust Busters”), peaches (“A Sash and a Rash”), and peanuts (“Squirrely Puffs”), but not cashews (“Clark Laser”). - Preferred non-magical weapon is a slingshot ("Love Struck"). Coincidentally, this is also Anti-Cosmo's and Foop's weapon of choice ("Fairly Odd Baby" & "When L.O.S.E.R.S. Attack") - He can also use a sword (and use his wand as a sword; "Best of Luck"). - He's a talented kazoo player ("77 Secrets of 'The Fairly OddParents' (Revealed)"). - His go-to password is Philip ("77 Secrets"). - According to "77 Secrets," his and Wanda's address while living with Timmy was 123 Fishbowl Lane, Timmy's Room, USA. -> Given Hazel's apartment number being 3 ("Fly"), he and Wanda likely live in apartment 2 or 4 (in City Lights AU). - The list of books he's authored includes Astrophysics For Morons, Shiny Crowny Things For Morons, Conversations with Butch, and "Little Wands For Little People" ("77 Secrets"). - Extremely fascinated by fish; he finds that he gets really, really excited around them, completely unaware that this “excitement” is actually his dragonfly DNA having a heart attack. - Likes elephants, even having an elephant-shaped bed when he was growing up ("Fairly Odd Baby"). Anti-Cosmo hates them. - Leaves one of his childhood toys with every godkid (Rehoming all the stuff Mama Cosma spoiled him with). - Likes reading his late dad's poetry books. - Not great with painting his nails, so Wanda often does that for him. - A decent cook, but excels in mixology. He can make the best hot chocolate you've ever had. - Suspiciously good at picking locks. - Constantly fighting postpartum depression. - Wanda did most of Poof's and Dusty's nursing, but Cosmo loved bottle-feeding his sons. On rare occasion, they nursed on liquid magic from his stomach pouch (though Wanda has a pouch for that too and was usually the one to do so, leaving Cosmo to rest after giving birth). - Though Timmy and Chloe lost their memories, he and Wanda check up on them the one day each year they're allowed to: every Midsummer's Eve (June 23rd, give or take). They keep tabs on a couple other godkids too, but Timmy isn't easy to forget. - His love life is forever managed by politics, but we don’t have to talk about that.
