#ugh they're such an annoying clan

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

Hello there~! I dunno what happen, but I'm in a mood for some angsty stuff, so here we go.

Imagine if the Farmer and the SVE Adventurer were surrounded by monsters / ruffians / etc. Suddenly, a surprise attack aimed towards the SVE Adventurer. But, instead stricken by it, the Farmer shielded them. Now as the Farmer laid injured (probably even unconscious), what would they do? How would they react?

Thank you for giving me your time reading my question! ^^

Hey hey 👋

Sure thing! 😊 And have a good day! 💕

_________________________________________

Isaac:

Depending on the situation itself and what kind of enemies have surrounded the two of them, Isaac's actions and reaction will be different. If Farmer is lightly wounded and the two of them are surrounded by simple milksuckers and weaklings (some young and stupid adventurers), Isaac will quickly break their noses and look at Farmer over his shoulder.

"Tsk..." Scratched, so what? They're an adventurer, so stop whining, Farmer. Ugh, so annoying... "Next time, don't play brave if you can't even stand up for yourself. I didn't ask for your help."

In a situation where the opponents are dangerous monsters in Crimson Badlands, Isaac immediately takes an olfactory stance, protecting the unconscious Farmer.

"Idiot! Found a time to make a hero out of yourself! Get up, you hear me!? Get up!"

The scarred adventurer is angry at Farmer, who has put themself and Isaac in a dangerous situation. Once both are safe and the Farmer comes to their senses, Isaac pours out not-the-most-flattering words on their head, calling them a stupid fool. Behind those words, however, was just as much Isaac's concern for them and their wellbeing. But Farmer doesn't need to know that.

Lance:

Lance, of course, thanked the Farmer that they had shown such a willingness to protect him from a bunch of bullies, but Lance himself is no damsel in distress. After all, the gallant adventurer is a second-of-command of The First Slash Clan, and is accordingly a very skilled warrior not only of the sword, but also of magic. Therefore, the bunch of hooligans didn't stand a chance either. Lance have no time to find out why they decided to harass him and Farmer, as the losers cowardly ran away. Well be it, the important thing now was to see if Farmer was alright.

"Thank you for your help, my friend, but I must assure you that I could have handled it myself. I wouldn't want you to suffer because of people who had a problem with me personally."

However, when the battle with the monsters became so dangerous that even Lance found it hard to retreat (what to speak of defeating the monsters), here he was not so confident in his abilities anymore. Farmer who had protected him from the sudden blow from behind, was a shock to him, but Lance quickly recovered and teleported himself and Farmer out of the battle. Thankfully their wound wasn't fatal, but the pink-haired man was riddled with worry.

"I'm glad you're ok, my dear friend. But let's not do it again, agreed?". He certainly doesn't want his friends dying for him, especially if the situation is Lance's own fault. Please don't do this again, Farmer.

Alesia:

"Bravery and courage are the traits of a true adventurer, but you shouldn't get into a fight if you can't even stand up for yourself, let alone someone else." Alesia cares for her young charges, and she certainly had a few young warriors that were always getting into fights for their mates, but didn't know how to fight at all. How can you save a drowning man when you can't swim yourself? So the sniper took the responsibility to teach the youngsters how to fight, but also to remind them that they should not get into any fight if the dispute can be solved peacefully. That's what she wants to teach the Farmer as well, even if they aren't officially her student. Still, she is grateful for the bravery they have shown.

When Farmer will protect her again, but already on the battlefield with shadow people, the girl will not be so restrained in her emotions. She... had lost many comrades, and Farmer, the young adventurer she had grown attached to as well, could become another victim. The situation could have become very nasty, but luckily everything was handled. And after making sure that nothing threatened their lives, Alesia would scold them so badly that Farmer would still be sitting red as a tomato for a long time.

"What in the Yoba's were you thinking! Didn't I tell you that earlier?"

Farmer will have nothing to answer here, and Alesia will then think about the possibility of taking Farmer under unofficial tutoring. Or convincing Marlon to teach Farmer so they think rationally and don't throw themselves under the monster's claws the first chance they get.

Would regulus have an accent if he came back from the warring clans era into hp universe?

Like.... I know he would have used some sort of translating/speaking spell but he would have definitely picked up the language eventually!

Also I feel like he would be too comfortable in a kimono to change into normal high class wizarding clothes and also to make izuna feel that he isn't standing out too much

Just imagine izuna and regulus sitting in a phoenix army (or whatever they're called) meeting and they just start talking shit about dumbldoors fashion choices in Japanese.

Imagine regulus asking kreecher for a traditional Japanese breakfast if izuna was feeling too homesick.

Imagine izuna finding out about sirius little jealousy problem and making it worse bc whenever reg isn't with them in the room he whispers to him ' I'm gonna steal your brother and take him to my clan bc he's ours and not yours >:) '

Also.

There has to be a scene where izuna has to show his ruthless shinobi side in all of his (I've been a child soldier then I was a war lord of course I'm gonna kill you without batting an eyelash) and he's coverd in blood and gore

((and all of the wizards are like : oh....

He isn't just a weird guy who reg domesticated like a wild but friendly raccoon....))

(((And reg would purse his lips, berate him for being reckless, and then offer to wash off the blood with a spell without missing a beat bc he's used to the violence from his time in the warring clans era)))

And ugh I have too many ideas I don't know why I'm so invested in this au but I love it and I love you

Good night

Aww I love you too!

And I think he would! Since you're right, he'd eventually learn the language himself, rather than rely on magical translation spells. It would make sense that an accent would crop up for him.

And yes, a lot of things for him would change. Even just a few months in the naruto!verse would leave it's mark. He'd definitely appreciate quite a few things about the culture - and there would be a lot of general lifestyle habits he'd change / pick up.

His sense of dress, the types of food he enjoys, what he drinks, how he talks and exercises...it would all be impacted.

It would be a startling change for anyone to witness. Regulus Black disappears for two months (maybe two years in the naruto!verse) and comes back with a tag-along, and seems to have become a completely different person.

Izuna would absolutely lean into it though. Regulus is his now. The dude very clearly prefers Izuna's home world to this place, and he has plans in place to whisk them back as soon as possible, regardless of what anyone - including Regulus' brother - thinks on the matter.

(Izuna is also 100% sure that if they take too long, Tobirama is going to cleave the universe in half to pluck them back. Or worse - come retrieve them himself. Their exit from this world will be less dignified than kittens being scuffed by an irritated mother cat and hauled back to the nest.)

He also would have many badass moments. This boy was born for drama and showing up a bunch of self-important, annoying wizards? He would leap at the chance. It's even better since he gets to defend Regulus at the same time!

30 DAYS WRITING CHALLENGE.

Day 15:Write about a girl's night.

From:@creativepromptsforwriting.

Title:Girl's Night Out.

The girls of Class 7-E sat in the lobby of the girls' dormitory.

"I'm bored."

Rita groaned as she stared at the clock.

"How about we go to the mall?"

Amber suggested the idea to her classmates.

"Sure."

"Yes."

"Let's do it."

"Yeah!"

"Great idea."

The girls went to the mall. Rita and Rasha were in the jewelery store. Amber and Katelyn got some ice cream at the food court. Sabrina and Lindsey were in the arcade. The girls from Class 1-E were also at the mall. Rina saw Lindsey and Sabrina in the arcade and decided to follow them with Glida following behind her.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't my greatest rival, Lindsey Bolton and her annoying friend Sabrina Vulpe."

"Hello, cheaters, how are you?"

Lindsey and Sabrina turned around to see Rina and Glida behind them.

"Ugh, what do you want Rina?"

"And we're not rivals."

"Of course we are!"

"You humiliated me at the competition earlier in the year, and no one makes a fool out of the Tsumibito clan!"

"*sigh* Seriously, you're still angry over that?"

"How are those little annoying rats doing?"

"They're not rats. They're Fox Kits!"

"Sure they are."

"Alright, that's enough, you little jerk!"

"You wanna go Bolton?"

"You know what?"

"Sure, I'll teach you not to mess with my friends you copycat!"

"Good, I'll show you what happens when you mess with the Tsumibito clan!"

"I hope you're ready to lose fox girl!"

"The only one who's losing is you and your false justice, Glida!"

The four of them competed to see who could grab the most points of the games. In the end, Lindsey and Sabrina won 10, 000 tickets, while Rina and Glida only had 500 tickets.

"Ugh, you may have won this time, but I'll beat you one day, Lindsey!"

"See you later, fox girl!"

Rina and Glida left the arcade. Lindsey and Sabrina began buying stuff with their tickets. Rita had found a beautiful jewelry set and grabbed it.

"Hey loser, what's you got there?"

Emma stood behind Rita with a smirk on her face.

"Something that I'll buy for myself."

"Ugh, you're so boring!"

"Whatever."

"Hello little kitty cat!"

"No tonight, Mirage, I have no interest in your mind games!"

"You better put those down if you now what's good for you."

"Buzz off, we're just getting something for ourselves!"

"Fine, have your way!"

"Thieves!"

As soon as Mirage started screaming, Rita snapped her fingers, and her and Rasha looked like they were hurt. The guard came in and ignored Mirage and went towards Rita and Rasha.

"You two alright?"

"Those two attacked us!"

"Liars!"

"We didn't do anything!"

They checked the footage, and it was manipulated by Rita to make it look like Mirage and Emma attacked them for the jewelery.

"Someone escort those two out of my shop!"

The security guard dragged them away, and they were kicked out of the jewelery shop.

"They're the thieves!"

"We didn't do anything, we swear!"

Rita and Rasha paid for their stuff. In the food court, Stella and Nebula noticed that Katelyn was there and decided to get revenge on her for beating them in the competition.

"Hello cheater!"

"Yeah, hi weakling!"

"What do you two want?"

"You're such a coward. There’s no way that you should've beaten us, you and your brother were supposed to lose!"

"Cry me a river crybaby."

"Shut up, you little brat!"

Nebula punched Katelyn in the face. Stella did the same, and they cornered her against the wall.

"Looks like there's no one to help you!'

"Payback time!"

"Ahem."

Behind them stood Amber surrounded by a flaming aura and red glowing eyes.

"Unless you two don't want to get burn, back off now!"

The two girls started laughing at Amber.

"Ooh, fire lady is mad!"

"What are you gonna do, set us on fire-"

Amber set the girls hair on fire and they both ran away.

"You'll pay for this Amber!"

"Ahh!, my hair!"

Everyone met up at the food court.

"What happened to you guys?"

Lindsey stared at her injured friends.

"Oops right."

Rita snapped her fingers again and the injuries were.

"Had to use my magic to get me and Rasha out of trouble."

"Emma and Mirage were trying to frame us of thievery."

"I almost got beat up by Stella and Nebula until Amber showed up."

"Rina and Glida challenged us to collect as much tickets as possible and lost."

"Rina was a little kid about it, as usual."

They headed back to the dorms, and Rina was complaining to her big brother Yusuke.

"Tronic made me look like a fool again!"

"And that fox freak annoyed Glida!"

"What about the other girls?"

"That sneaky little thief framed Mirage and Emma for thievery."

"And that fire freak of nature ruined the Jones twins' hair!"

"Don't worry, we'll make them pay, all of them will pay very soon."

Alex, Emanuel, and Simon came downstairs.

"What happened to your face?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Yusuke isn't threatening you guys, is he?"

"No, we're fine."

"Rina seems to be whining fake tales to him though."

Yusuke looked at all of them with fury in his eyes.

"You freaks can judge us all you like, but just know this Mutiverse Freedom Fighters."

"You will pay for every amount of trouble that you've caused us!"

Everyone rolled their eyes at Yusuke and Rina. They went back to their dorms and called it a night.

My roommate's predictions about who dies in The Untamed

So I've been making my roommate watch The Untamed, he likes it a lot (and has a crush on everyone, which, same), and as we were finishing episode 15 I asked him his predictions for the different characters :

Lan Wangji x Wei Wuxian : "we know they survive from the flashback, also I know it's censored but they have to fuck at some point"

YanLi : "she can't die, she's one of the only female characters, I just don't want her to marry that jerk"

Jiang Cheng : "no way he becomes Clan Leader ever, he's so annoying

Jiang Feng Mian : "he's such a sweet dad, he is not dying, he'll have plot armor"

Madam Yu : "she can die, I don't care"

Wen Qing : "she's my wife, she can't die, and also she will end up married to Jiang Cheng, they're so cute"

Wen Ning : "he could make a good death for dramatic effect"

Jin Zixuan : "I can't remember his name and he's a jerk so he can die"

Nie Mingjue : "I want him to invade me, he's so powerful he will survive them all"

Nie Huaisang : "who ?"

Wen Zhuliu : "he's such a badass, he must get on the good guys' side eventually"

Song Lan x Xiao Xingchen : "ugh they're so hot, I hope they'll stay married forever"

Meng Yao : "who ?"

I find it funny that people want morally complicated characters to simp but the moment we do get them, we end up with more haters who think they're morally superior for being against those characters. Ugh. It's annoying.

Okay, I'll explain. Itachi's actions aren't justified. We all know that much. But guess what? He's a victim himself. He had tons of shiz going on. He was a child himself. Aged 12-13. It's not just about him killing Izumi (which is devastatingly sad). It's about the leaders of the Hidden Leaf leaving things to him and only him.

If he kills his clan, the war is averted, countless lives are saved. If he sides with the Uchiha clan, supports them in the coup, not only the Uchiha die, their honour is stripped away from them too. He can't kill any of the higher ups because Danzo would make sure Itachi pays price for that.

Once Shisui died, Itachi was left completely alone. He had literally no one to share his pain with. No one to understand him. He was only 12 at that time. As much as I empathize with the Uchiha clan, both them and the Hidden Leaf treated him like a tool instead of a human, let alone a child.

The whole thing was dumped on him. He was seen as a traitor by his own clan. Even if he tried to warn them of the consequences, they didn't bother to evaluate the possibility of losing to the Hidden Leaf Village.

The whole thing with Sasuke is the result of that. We may condemn him as much as we like, but the thing is, he was feeling painfully guilty for killing his clan and he was a kid himself. He wanted Sasuke to not only hate him and judge him and get stronger, but also never forgive him for what he did. People honestly act like he has no right to feel guilty. Not to forget, after he left Sasuke alone, and saw him desperately clinging to him, Itachi wanted to take Sauske with him because he couldn't live without his little brother.

Again, he was not justified in any of what he did, but let's not pretend someone else might have done anything better. I've said this time and time again — other characters (especially the good guys) are super lucky to not have been placed in the painful situations where giving up their lives is easier than sacrificing their morals.

It's how the world works too. Life demands you to make sacrifices. Not only personal but also moral ones. Itachi made both of them.

But I guess since we have characters like Itachi, they will always attract diverse opinions on their moral compass.

I wrote this so long but I'm tired of this shiz.

Response to all Itachi haters

“Do you even watch the series? He had to do it! He saved countless more lives by averting another war (And Danzo would even spare Sasuke). Do you actually think he wanted to? He killed his girlfriend, Izumi, first so he could leave behind all emotions. He showed her their lives together as a family, raising kids and growing old side by side, in the tsukuyomi. She died happily but Itachi’s hell just began. He had to slaughter men, women, and children that night. But even he couldn’t hold back the tears and pain when he got to his parents. He loved them and they loved him so of course it would be difficult for him. He then had to masquerade as an evil murderer to the village he loved and to Sasuke. All to uphold the honor of the Uchiha. To top it all off, he spied on the Akatsuki for the Leaf, to keep them safe still. And chose to die by the hand of the brother he loved more than anything else in the world. Yet, after all that, the man died with a smile on his face. He was a true Hokage.”

Chouji for the ask game. Love your art and your blog

hehehe. i would love to talk abt him!!, and thank u!

answers under the cut!

favorite thing about them — i like that hes got like very little interest in being a shinobi. king of work life balance. king of having hobbies. king of not being as much of a bootlicker as he couldve been. hes also like. very cutely drawn? i love his eyes too. whenever we get an up close shot of him im like. ah. chōji... least favorite thing about them — this isnt abt chōji himself this is abt kishimoto's writing. im like furious at the fatphobia it rlly prevents me from engaging with chōji as much as i would be able to otherwise. like. ugh. i dont know like theres NO REASON for it. theres really never any reason for fatphobia, but like, in chōjis case specifically? when he's from one of the few REALLY important clans in konoha? and EVERYONE knows that the akimichi have immense power and that in order to use it they have to maintain a certain weight, so that they can burn it in battle? why would this be an issue!!! god. im so annoyed. literally thinking about this makes me insane.

favorite line —i cannot remember any notable chōji lines i think...i liked it most when he was simply lying beside shikamaru gazing at clouds. brOTP — shikamaru :) they're best buds :) OTP — again i dont rlly care about shipping. i dont think i see him interact enough with anyone for me to like. really. imagine him being in a relationship with anyone? that said, shikamaru + chōji are cute i guess, that kind of is where we see the most of his interactions nOTP —again i dont rlly see enough of his relationships to really have any strong feelings,

random headcanon — butterflies flock to him (and other members of the akimichi family), which shino finds absolutely fascinating. shinos like. definitely more of a beetle person than a butterfly person, but like u cant not notice when one of ur classmates steps outside and radically alters the migration of multiple species of insects. chōji thinks its fine, normal, cool, etc. he helps his dad set out the sugarwater or other supplies sometimes depending on how healthy the migration looks. its a whole thing

unpopular opinion —i don't know enough peoples opinions on chōji to know what opinions are popular and which ones arent, i guess? what opinions do people have on chōji... song i associate with them — maybe nightlights ii by nana grizol? idk its talking about kind of a longing for intimacy and a necessity to engage with but a shying from conflict that i feel like chōji would vibe with. i like this especially:

"The shy and lonely hunter Who stalks across my chest Says “I’m only seeking glory,” yeah But glory never gives you any— —Rest" . . . "So you step tender when you don’t run So you surrender to everyone So you remember the place you’ve come to Don’t forget the world adores you, said “I am but my body: heart and shaking skin.” How ever will you find a safe place where You never let anyone in— — to the space where you—"

favorite picture of them — im not sure...i cant find it. but there was def a part of naruto the og series where i got a close up on his face. and i was like. ah!!!! hes cute!

this one is also cute tho

[starcoatedeyes]

can't stop thinking about him but I don't like annoying my friends when I post about him so they don't know actually a lot about him and my WOL. but they MAKE ME SO !!! (\/ below won't be age re friendly it's just a long info dump abt my final fantasy oc LOOOO)

my WOL comes from a sun seeker miqo'te clan whose harem are all men and she has like 6 dad's and she loves them all and they all love her but she to some timeline and story stuff, the soul that lives inside her is not the same soul that was born there. so like. this family lost their kid! at 16! and Kiran is now 21! with someone else's soul in her body! and her family definitely felt the change even if they didn't register it consciously !! they don't know their daughter who they raised and the girl who came back from this traumatic disaster are the same person.

so I just go and loose my mind thinking about Kiran playing and teasing with Alphinaud and just adoring and doting on him the same way her parents doted on her and how she's always learned how to give affection and eventually dragging him to her clan when a mission calls them near the territory. and all 6 of her dad's jumping on alphinaud because oh my god little kid!!? and he's the age that they lost Kiran so it's kind of just like instinctive. they miss their daughter even though she's physically standing before them.it just makes me sick.

also Kiran teaching him more about affection, showing him the Intricate rituals of her clan, being a rock for him and In turn they form some little pact where Kiran confides in him that she thinks she's someone else, that she was someone not from this body and he nods and hes helping her figure out how to unlock her past. ugh.

Kiran would probably make him a coat with sunflower detailing on the Inside so that only he would see them and know they're there. bc she loves sunflowers and she loves alphinaud. that's her kid !!! auguhuaghub

im back and picked up a new special interest...

[denialcity]

Taka: I refuse to care for people also taka: :/ kinda sucks no one cares about me

Yep.

Unexpected Taka-Izuna commonality: neither of them ever expects anyone to actually care for them enough to do anything just to make them happy. (Maaaaybe rare exception for Meguru and Madara respectively.)

Mostly though Taka is okay with not being liked, but he would like to be appreciated. Everything he does is for his clan (...except for Kawarama), and he knows they won't like it, but they barely ever get past complaining about how they hate his decisions to like, acknowledge that he made the right one and the clan is doing well with his leadership. And if they do acknowledge it, it's likely to be some sort of private "ugh, I know he had to do it but did he have to be so mean about it" or similar complaint, and not anything Taka will hear.

So basically:

Taka: Is an occasional 'thank you' too much to ask?! Meguru: You know what role you're playing; if they could reliably see past it it wouldn't be needed. Taka: So what you're saying is they're too dumb to appreciate me. Meguru: Yes. Taka: Alright next person to annoy me is getting an arranged marriage to a Nara so their brats appreciate me

[pluviophile-imagines]

i'm sure i just spammed your notifs but sis!!!! usurper!gojo!!!!!! i'm in love with your writing ugh and i have a question. have you thought about the reader in canon? is she a sorcerer? a civilian? are she and gojo still together?

ADJFHDB ur good i think its so cool when i can tell someone's going through a specific tag of mine, im flattered u like the concept & my work that much!!!! ironically up until i got this ask i hadn't thought abt that reader in canon but after some pondering i kinda fell in love with the idea n here's what i came up with.

i think she is a sorcerer! not like special grade, id put her at around nanami's level; that is to say, having achieved black flash but not Hugely powerful (have i thought abt her ability? no i do not have the brain power for that sorry kajhbdf). now in the au she n gojo r childhood friends—i don't rlly wanna apply that here, bc his childhood in canon is implied to be v heavily influenced by his status & his clan and i imagine her to have come from a non-sorcerer family (or perhaps one only vaguely involved with the society, like maybe one of her parents was one of those people who could see curses but not a sorcerer??? idk, trying to apply the low-ranking-noble thing here) but either way not someone who he would've known since an early age. however since they're the same age theyd be in the same grade in hs! so i like the idea of her going to the kyoto school, while hes at the tokyo one, and they meet at the goodwill event thing they do every year where he.....

well, in essence, falls in love right away and in classic gojo fashion decides the best way to express that is though aggressive pigtail pulling in the form of beating her ass 🙄 bc of course. so she Hates him at first, and he is Madly In Love

now i v much like the idea of them spending the next many years in that oh-so-classic frenemies situation where hes silently pining after her while being A Menace and shes slowly falling for him despite herself lmfao. maybe she even transfers to tokyo after their initial meeting for whatever reason??? idk! not gonna get too into it but i do think by the time they graduate it evolves from him pestering her while shes annoyed into a close friendship where...... he still. pesters her. bc hes gojo pfft do also like the idea of her becoming a teacher (or otherwise working for the school) when theyre adults as well <333 bc i am a cliche and i simply adore it <333 i love the idea of her being a radical progressive wrt the society much like him n nanami, n thats one of the reasons he's so head-over-heels (sometimes...... he gets her to rant abt how the higher ups suck and the system is broken...... and watches with heart-eyes as she's angrily rambling.....) but yeah. also i rlly like the idea of her n nanami being v close solely bc theyre very similar KJAHSBF (this is also true in the au btw hes one of gojo's royal advisors i just havent mentioned it lol).

ANYWAYYYY i think!!! round abt the time hes idk 25 he comes to her and is like listen so the elders in my clan r rlly riding my ass to get married and pass on my genes and shit (not a lie, he just doesnt really care) and like shoko said she wouldnt do it (blatant lie he never asked her) soooooo u wanna maybe get hitched??? n reader's hesitant at first but then hes like look u n i share the same ambitions abt sorcerer society, we both wanna change it, its good for us to get married yanno? i give u the gojo name and suddenly theyve got two of us to contend with, two of us to send off on missions if they dont want us around, whaddya say?

and as established in the au one-shots, miss reader is an ambitious lil thing. n sure this might pose some issues (despite herself she is in fact v much in love with this fucker shes not super sure her heart could take being married to him......) but hes right, marrying the strongest sorcerer puts her in a position to help him change their society for the better and also hes Loaded who tf Wouldnt want a piece of that gojo fortune so she says fuck it why not.

and cue the agonizing "we're literally married and pining but havent even figured it out yet" slow burn as shoko and nanami and megumi and literally everyone who even somewhat knows them is tearing out their hair watching them KSJDHFB

[violentshine]

new thing for the scattered sparks au

when tigerclan (shadow & river) starts forming & Tigerstar starts integrating Shadowclan cats into Riverclan's camp, he starts putting cats in what he's called "confinement" which is just his way of saying imprisonment without saying imprisonment

One of the cats that he puts into confinement is Shellshine (Luna) because she doesn't "treat him with respect" & refuses to acknowledge his leadership of Tigerclan, so he puts her in a separate den. Leopardstar only learns of this after it's happened. Which she of course has an issue with since that's her daughter-not daughter and Tigerstar tells her she would be too soft on Shellshine anyway since they're close and it's important that he's respected ("as much as she is")

A handful of other cats get put into confinement as well, one of those cats being Fangflare (not only does Shellshine have to share a clan with her "head empty only battle" annoying brother but a jail cell too? ugh). Fangflare has no idea why Tigerstar put him in there since he's been nothing but loyal to him (even helped him gain his position...smh). Tigerstar says his reason is due to Fangflare (& Shellshine) having kin in other clans that may put his plan at risk because they may say something and he doesn't want that. It's not a very. Good reason. Probably due to it not being totally the case and Tigerstar may have put confined Fangflare there because 1) He's kin to Fireheart specifically and it's very clear the two don't get along 2)Fangflare is another big personality in the clan and might jeopardize the plan since he can be overly hostile and always looking for fights 3) Tigerstar thinks he's annoying

Fangflare is desperate to prove his loyalty to Tigerstar and when a certain group starts forming to achieve a certain goal...Fangflare finds it to be the best opportunity.

Stonefur is very much against this whole "Tigerclan" thing and knows others agree with him. He starts first with the cats in confinement, brainstorming ways they can get rid of Tigerclan and Tigerstar.

Even though Stonefur has avoided him for this reason, Fangflare caught wind of their conversations and told Tigerstar. Except Fangflare heard a different cat talking about it and told Tigerstar that cat was in charge of the rebellion. So when Tigerstar called a meeting and accused said cat for "wanting war instead of peace" Stonefur cleared their name and came clean about it.

Tigerstar is obviously furious and calls for some cat to kill him; claiming that the clan needs to be taught a lesson. He's "forming all the clans as one as to get rid of the bloodshed and battle, but if cats are so against living peacefully with one another and would prefer a life of violence, they can have it"

Stonefur is killed, Fangflare really wanted to do it, idk if he takes Darkstripe's place in failing to kill Stonefur* or if he was ordered to sit down.

*him failing actually makes sense since he's been in confinement and would have a restricted amount of prey & exercise. Stonefur also wouldn't want to kill him (or yk die, so he's playing a mean defense) but i feel like if i do this it would give later, matured, Fangflare a lot more trauma then what i have in mind which is a lot already...thinking

[maxfieldparrishes]

would it be harsh of me to ask for a bunch of,,like,,unposted ethanessa headcanons or something like that?? i miss the serotonin ur fics would give me ugh

not harsh of you at all! my executive functioning just sucks dong and i'm a horrible procrastinator when it comes to answering asks

so... unposted ethanessa headcanons... hmm... not really sure how much i've left unposted but!!! i will do this for you, and also for them because they are a Forever Ship

(jsyk these will be AU because i'm obsessed with the idea of them in the present day having a happy life and family together... also i'll be drawing on conversations i've had with @curioussubjects about the HML (happy modern life) AU) so here goes!!! under a cut because it got Long lol

ethanessa settles in either the pnw or maine, likely the pnw because there's some space for ethan during his time of the month but it's still relatively close to major cities (depends on your definition of close, tbf) (also i gotta represent my og turf! pnw represent!)

they have three kids - charles, claire, and celia. they are all thick as thieves which makes ethanessa sweat somewhat because of the potential of organized sibling chaos and shenanigans, but they adore their parents so they take it easy on them. mostly.

ethan is such a loving dad i can't even begin to describe him because i get too emotional!!! same with mom!vanessa... like they're not perfect people and they'd absolutely make mistakes as parents but their hearts are always in the right place!!! im crying omg

out of the three, claire and celia are both werewolves like ethan. this means that during every full moon there are 3 annoyed lycanthropes in the house and/or on the property--although now that ethan is older and more experienced with the shifting he's better able to control the urges, and he's made it a point to teach claire and celia how to better cope with the change while they're still young. claire will sometimes have supervised freedom while transformed; celia does not like transforming, does not trust herself, and will not leave the basement, even if calm/rational and if given the opportunity

charles is the most like van. magic shit. spooky ghosts. seances. freaky spellbooks. rituals that are Beyond Intricate. claire can deal with low-level shit, but anything above her pay grade (which is like... minimum wage) is sent to charles. charles is a nerd who loves lit theory and reads it for fun, philosophy and history, anthropology/sociology... academia in general; he wants to be a professor and publish incomprehensible papers when he grows up. also likes knitting to unwind, courtesy of ethan. would absolutely be bullied and stuffed into a locker if he wasn't so nice, cute, and friendly... closest out of the 3 kids to aunt cat, the sometimes-resident Cool Aunt

claire is the Social Butterfly of the three. she's the resident social (media) expert, keeps up-to-date on trends, tons of twitter/insta/snapchat/etc followers. absolutely has a hydroflask with stickers on it and an iced coffee obsession. chaotic middle child energy. super smart and cunning and protective of her family, absolutely the type to get into poli-sci for the activism, which she eventually does. loves cats even though they don't love her, animals in general, the environment, and being bisexual; does NOT love being a werewolf. she loves both her parents but would probably admit to being closer to ethan (is 100% a daddy's girl) probably the only member of the family who actually enjoys organized sports (was on the soccer team) once punched a guy who repeatedly sexually harassed her in the face, broke his nose, and was sent to the principal's office for it. ethanessa were proud <3

celia is the Artist in Residence of the clan. an absolute madwoman in the best way, she lives to create, is creating constantly, and is a fucking superstar bohemian who will one day go down in history and end up in museums. she works in a variety of mediums--painting (watercolors, oils, etc), ink drawings, sketches, clay--and always has something up her sleeve or on the backburner. gives off a vibe of being somewhat disconnected from reality, but she's very astute and observant. 100% the quietest and least social of the three kids, but also the kindest and most open-minded. can go through manic phases that result in an increased creative output but can also crash super hard, is on mood stabilizers and a diet high in omega-3s to help; the lycanthropy does not help AT ALL. 100% goes to school in paint-covered clothes, paints sets for the drama dept, has no social media at all but claire reps her sister's art on her own accounts and charles does too. has baby privilege; everyone loves her the most, including addy, the pet goat.

(they're all so supportive of each other i'm so!!!)

even though ethanessa are each other's primary partners, they are also both in a polyamorous relationship with catriona (and she with them) an anthropology professor, and the kids' Cool Aunt Cat

cat is literally a cat--she comes and goes as she pleases, she loves the kids like they're her own, she loves van to death and ethan only slightly less. far too self-directed and independent to ever be a dog, even if she is one of the most loyal and loving people ever

she's not always there bc she has her own apartment and her own life, but she spends a ton of time with the family when she can and wants to

the kids have all known her since they were born, grew up being somewhat co-parented by her, and idolize her completely, charles especially

brings yarn back from her travels so the fam (except for vanessa, who, bless her heart, SUCKS at knitting) can knit sweaters for addy (and sometimes scarves for van if the yarn is REALLY nice)

non-traditional family structures!!!

cat is the one who introduced charles to Theory and also tea. she gave him some hegel and zizek to read as a joke while he drank his genmaicha but he was absolutely enamored; told ethanessa later after he gave them all a lecture about lacan and the mirror stage at dinner: "i have created a monster. i am so sorry."

they don't have cats, but they do have dogs and a pygmy goat named adelaide, or addy for short

addy is the undisputed queen of the household and every single one of them would bend over backwards to make that goat happy

celia is addy's favorite person, because she's always on the floor doing Art, and doesn't mind it when addy climbs on her

addy has more instagram followers than charles and claire combined, because all 3 kids + ethan knit her sweaters and post pictures of her in them online. they have a schedule for it and everything, and the hype surrounding this tiny-ass goat is i n s a n e

ethanessa don't really use social media except to monitor the kids and keep in touch with fam because while they are not necessarily old they are also Old, if that makes sense

ethan goes deep into the forest during his transformations and usually it's uneventful... until the one time vanessa doesn't go with him, which becomes the one time he saves some lost hikers from a cougar and becomes a local legend as the town's Resident Cryptid

(this is a source of never-ending hilarity in the ives-chandler household. ethan is voted "hottest cryptid in the pnw" three years running and van gets it for him on a coffee mug. there is a close-up picture of his absolutely unimpressed face when he's presented with it on the polaroid wall and it is one of van's most treasured photos)

there's a well-intentioned running joke/bit in the town where they all playful accuse each other of being the HCITW (Hot Cryptid In The Woods). ethan almost got outed one day and left the grocery store sweating BUCKETS after one of the hikers he saved turned out to be the cashier in his checkout line, who said that he could have sworn he'd seen ethan somewhere before (ethan: "i just have one of those faces i guess???")

one girl in claire's class is absolutely CONVINCED it's ethan and she's absolutely right, but after claire takes her home one day to work on a project she's like "nah claire your dad couldn't possibly be a werewolf cryptid man he's way too chill and dorky" (claire: "don't tell anyone but that's the weed. at least the chill part is weed. he's just a dork naturally")

ethan is offended despite himself; van and charles have to leave the house to go walk in the woods because they're laughing so hard; celia is unbothered and only emerges from her room to change her paint water. claire thinks that she might one day marry this girl.

(they aren't married but they are still dating!)

none of this isn't to say they don't have bad days. sometimes charles hyperfocuses on things that aren't real--ghosts of people and the ghost in the book and drifts away from reality. sometimes claire is too angry for her own damn good and, when the full moon hits, becomes more of a wolf than either her father or her sister. the period of time before celia's mental health issues were nailed down and treated was hard on everyone. sometimes ethan and vanessa run out of patience with each other. sometimes they all have moods where they just don't want to talk. they're all in step with each other anyway, and sometimes you just don't want to fucking talk.

but all in all... it's a solid family. the state of being alive, in and of itself, is far too messy to ever be perfect, but their life now is better than either van or ethan could have dreamed (especially considering their own childhoods...) there's so much love in there that all of them don't know where or how they can store it all. there is so much love that no one is hungry and there is love left over for those who might need a little more. it's open hearts and warm arms and a hand to hold in the darkness. it's fucking awesome. it's the best.

[fatal-rewrites-warriors]

Hell yeah it's time to start reading tnp

Prologue

This always confused me. What's the hierarchy in starclan? because cats who died recently seem to have a lot more authority than cats who died long ago, even when it comes to big ol prophecies like this one

you can tell they hadn't thought of skyclan existing yet because they refer to thunderclan as sky lmao

everyone in starclan like "deadfoot you only chose him because hes your son"

the rules that dictate what starclan can and cant do are so flimsy. sometimes they have a shitton of power to do stuff and sometimes they're vague as hell for like no reason whatsoever. like, why couldn't they tell the prophecy cats that destruction was coming to the forest? why did they need to go talk to a badger by the ocean to get that information?

chapter 1

I think it's so funny that greystripe is like "brackenfur will organize patrols" like that's your job my guy and yet it's so fucking in character for his assholery

why WOULDNT starclan give the prophecy to the med cats

I know why it's because they want the contrived drama of hiding it from their leaders and shit but ugh

okay so if it's well known enough that brambleclaw and squirrelpaw bicker a lot, enough that sandstorm commented on it, then why the hell would dustpelt ask bramble to keep an eye out for her??

again I know WHY I'm just. exasperated

the fact that brambleclaw decides to pretend the prophecy was just a dream is EXACTLY why it should have been sent to the medicine cats

"greenleaf had longer and hotter than anyone remembered" what about the greenleaf where there was a fucking fire

firestar what the fuck do you mean you dont understand how bramble feels about tawny until you had squirrel and leaf you ALSO HAVE A SISTER OUTSIDE THE CLAN

anyways it's nice to be annoyed about warriors again lmao

Evie and Beckett Banters

So something I love dearly are the banters in Dragon Age and Mass Effect Andromeda, so I figured why not do some for Beckett and Evie?

---

Evie: so the Gangrel clan bane is beast marks and being more prone to frenzy... Brujah is being angry basically all the time-

Beckett: correct.

Evie: Malkavians all suffer from some sort of mental illness... Nosferatu are ugly as fuck...

Beckett: I'd recommend not saying that to their faces, but yes.

Evie: Toreadors... Um... They're obsessed with beauty? And everything has to be beautiful?

Beckett: very good. What about about the Ventrue? Do you remember their bane?

Evie: Lacroix Syndrome.

Beckett: ?

Evie: if they don't get their way, they throw a tantrum.

Beckett: *laughs*

Evie: it's also referred to as Having Small Dick Energy

Beckett: as accurate as that is, please never say it to a Ventrue

Evie: I know, I know. They'd kill me for it because they don't want anyone to know they have small dick energy

Beckett: *laughs harder*

---

Beckett: don't.

Evie: I wasn't doing anything!

Beckett: of course. Because you were definitely not just deliberating over what you were going to wedge under my desk to make it slightly off balance to annoy me.

Evie: Was not!

Beckett: you're not now.

---

Evie: what's Jyhad?

Beckett: where did you learn that word?

Evie: Gary, the Nosferatu Primogen in LA. He said something about playing Jyhad.

Beckett: ah.

Evie: so is it like a political thing or something?

Beckett: yes... And no. While it is the name used to refer to the political machinations of Kindred, Jyhad is actually a concept. Some believe that elder Kindred are able to control or influence the younger into carrying out actions that serve their needs, often without the younger Kindred realising that their thoughts and actions aren't their own.

Evie: I think I remember Skelter mentioning something about that that when he was telling me about Caine. I guess that means you don't believe in it?

Beckett: I have my doubts. But I wouldn't be completely surprised if some elders possessed such an insidious ability, considering the array of powers available to us.

Beckett: It bears further study at some point.

---

Beckett: so, what other clan banes can you remember?

Evie: Assamites are addicted to vitae and darken as they age, and Tzimisce can't rest without their home soil.

Beckett: very good. And the Tremere?

Evie: uh... no one likes them?

Beckett: *laughs* well you're not /wrong/

---

Beckett: ...

Evie: ...

Evie: it's that button.

Beckett: ah. Thank you.

Evie: no problem, Granddad.

---

Beckett: so do you remember the /actual/ Tremere clan bane?

Evie: nope.

Beckett: they're all bound together by blood. New initiates into the clan must drink the blood of their seven elders

Evie: but what if they don't?

Beckett: you assume that the Tremere would allow such a thing.

Evie: but what if it was someone like me? Someone who was Embraced without permission but survived and became Autarkis?

Beckett: if such a Tremere exists, I have never heard of them. Believe me, you wouldn't have survived that courtroom if you'd been Embraced by a Tremere.

---

Evie: so... can we-?

Beckett: absolutely not.

Evie: But-!

Beckett: Evie, if I took you to find dragons, we would end up being burned to ashes or swallowed whole.

Beckett: so forget it.

---

Evie: so there really are no Tremere who aren't bonded to their clan?

Beckett: why do you think they're all 'clan-before-sect'?

Evie: it just seems... I dunno.

Beckett: the Tremere are a suspicious lot, Young One. They barely trust each other, let alone anyone else. By binding themselves in blood, it allows a certain degree of confidence between clanmates.

Evie: yeah, real great way to ensure loyalty. Be bound by force or die.

Evie: honestly, why can't people just be... I dunno, /decent/

Beckett: *laughs*

Evie: what's so funny?

Beckett: nothing, Young One. Your idealism is just a breath of fresh air, that's all.

---

Beckett: Evie...

Evie: *yapping*

Beckett: we've talked about this

Evie: *whine*

Beckett: no.

Evie: ugh, you're no fun.

---

Beckett: absolutely not

Evie: but-!

Beckett: Evie, we travel by jet and spend a lot of our time either on the move or in life-threatening situations

Beckett: you are not allowed to have a pet

Evie: this is such bullshit

Beckett: complain at the people who require significant amounts of paperwork to get a pet through customs about how it's bullshit

Beckett: when I release you from my care and you have the right to do whatever you want, you can have as many pets as you please. But until then, the answer is no

[profanetools]

Kagrenac! I know that, theoretically speaking, they're not an OC, but..you know.

:^) !!!!!

Thank you!!!! Always down to talk about her.... my city now... my character now. (these ended up being very much bthemetz/kagrenac centric but like! whatever)

OC Ask Prompts

Something really awesome they can do 

An extremely high number of things, if I am honest. She’s like. That insufferable polymath who can speak several languages, play several musical instruments, sing and dance extremely well, and that’s before we touch on tonal architecture or any of her achievements she’s actually known for. Name a cool feat that defies the laws of nature and she has probably calculated her own special method to bring it into being through Tonal Architecture. Ugh.

I think her favourite thing that she can do, that is also pretty awesome, is probably making Bthemetz a ring that 1. is shaped like an intricate jewelled scarab 2. contains a serviceable clockwork metronome inside of it, and 3. can shoot a 40ft wall of flame on demand, at any time, because why the fuck not.  

A person, creature, or thing they adore

Bthemetz :^)

Also, I think in her heart, she loves to sing and to dance more than anything. She’s passionate, extremely passionate about science, about Tonal Architecture, about all of that - but she pursues it out of a sense of necessity, out of a sense that pursuing the impossible, by divinely changing the world and her people’s place in it, is the only way to protect them. Whereas I think she likes to dance simply because she finds a lot of joy in it.

A secret they’re hiding

Oh, she’s hiding at least a dozen at any given moment, if I’m honest. I think she uses favours and secrets as a key method of manipulating the political arena to her own ends.

A juicy secret they are sitting on is that she is 100% sure that it was Bthemetz who told the Chimer about Numidium. She has no basis beyond 1. reasonable assumptions and 2. knowing Bthemetz’s character inside out. She has not told anyone about this suspicion - which is a correct suspicion, actually - nor does she intend to.

A funny secret that she is hiding is that while she is well acquainted with a lot of Dwemer poetry, a good 50% of it goes over her head. Art, architecture, music, novels, all fine - but something about poetry doesn’t stick. Led to a very awkward date once early in her and Bthemetz’s relationship where Bthem took her to a lesbian poetry evening.

Something they truly fear

Oh, the Nords conquering her people again. Or the Chimer managing to accomplish the same feat. I think she really has this sense of duty, of belonging to her whole people more so than any one clan, and I think what she fears the most is being subjugated again, being humiliated in war again. I think she fears that the next invasion would lead to libraries being burnt, knowledge being destroyed, and their whole way of life being lost - either by destruction or by assimilation.

Part of the reason I think she acted rashly at Red Mountain was because her worst fears came true.

A place or item which gives them strong feelings

A lot of these in honesty. I think the Grand Debate Chamber/Cathedral that once lied at the heart of Red Mountain (I headcanon it was destroyed in the erruption and that Dagoth Ur is the remnants of it) inspired a lot of strong feelings of awe, aspiration, but also, a sense of dread, a sense of expectation, a sense of that this was the enormity of her task in pursuing the divine.

In terms of an item, I think the knife Bthemetz gave her as a bond gift has a lot of feelings attached to it - love, a lot of love and care and attention and detail, but also, this sorrowful sense that it was given because they had accepted the peace between the Dwemer and Chimer would never last, that it is not a dainty ornament, but will be used one day, to protect her, and to hurt another.

A dream or ambition for the future

Pretty much entirely:

1. Achieve godhood, securing the future of my people for infinity.

2. Retire to a cottage by the sea with my wife where she eventually opens a tea shop in an ill-advised business venture despite our remote coastal location. In the mean time, learn to garden, and not simply kill plants. Perhaps adopt an animal companion.

In that order.

An angsty fact about them

In my canon, she originates from a stronghold in the Velothi mountains that was one of the first in modern-day Morrowind to be hit by the Nordic conquests, when she was in her late teens. Her family was separated as her home was taken and the clan attempted to flee the stronghold and seek refuge in another. The Nords chased them down the spine of the Velothi mountains, before a number of ‘refugee’ clans bent the knee under false pretences, to then stage a shady, cloak-and-dagger counterattack that was very misinformed and turned into a total bloodbath. After her involvement in that fiasco - after the first man she ever killed - she fled the scene all the way to Vvardenfell. She has grudge against Nords, and a distaste for Nordic culture in all forms, as a result (can’t entirely blame her for it either).

I don’t think she heard word from her family for years. At least one person - probably a sibling - died. Everyone was separated, and impossible to get in touch with until the Nords were driven out of Resdayn entirely, and even then tracking everyone down was a task. It turns out one of her parents ended up abandoning Dwemer clan life entirely - an action in of itself traditionally considered pretty shameful, but to add insult to injury, eventually they ended up living in a Nord settlement, and marrying a Nord.

Kagrenac just never speaks of them; they are dead to her, quite honestly, and they never do reconcile, and it just sucks a lot. 

A domestic fact about them

Absolutely not a morning person. Bthem often makes her breakfast in bed on days off (I think Bthem enjoys spoiling her like that). If Bthem tries to get up early without her, she will sometimes get out of bed just to try to pull Bthem back into it with her (’I miss my wife so I will annoy her on purpose with my sleep-deprived grumpy antics’; sounds cuter than it actually is lmao).

She really enjoys cooking meals with Bthemetz, but honestly she’s not particularly domestic. She has most of her clothes made for her, she is a notorious houseplant killer, her main contribution to the household is finding nice ornaments and paintings and adding a decorative touch, but honestly, she’s not particularly homey, and only values it insomuch as it is quality time with Bthemetz (but she’d much rather go somewhere with her wife, if given the choice). She can cook and clean and has survived by herself, and her extensive travels as a young woman have left her far more self-sufficient than most dwemer, but left to her own devices I think she would survive entirely on whatever the fantasy equivalent of cheap store-bought ramen is.
