original sketches

DELTORA FASHION CONCEPT ART V2

hello i have finally coloured some rough sketches of some deltoran fashions, a redraw of some really old sketches from ages ago.

im a pretty amateur concept artists and i hate designing clothes so truly was a challenge for me hahah BUT it has given me plenty of time to think of headcanons. im not sure what i've already posted about or not so im just gonna go ahead and rant

these characters were originally just models for me to draw the clothes on, so i didn't need to draw a new person every time; although in some of my earliest sketches of different people groups i did a bunch of people. but naturally these characters have developed a little and some of them are my beloved adin-era OCs <3

[about 4,500 words]

⬜ JALIS

since the jalis are reknowned for their warrior prowess and their signature gold armour, i thought it'd be neat that even if when they're not wearing the full set, they are always wearing their arm guards. it's a sense of pride and identity, they probably receive them as a rite of passage into adulthood. not every jalis is a knight, but they value a heart of courage and great feats and they all have them, and would wear them always (or at least special occasions if one prefers not).

i headcanon that jasmine was gifted her own set of arm guards as an expression of their respect and admiration of her. her relationship with glock grew so much and was cut off, but she earned her "heart of a jalis" and we didnt get to see much of jasmine and gers together, but theres plenty of time post-DQ3. i think my jasmine and the jalis thoughts should be a separate post though, otherwise this post will never end 😂

i dont imagine that the jalis had special party clothes, i think they just turn up in their usual clothes and get drunk and dance their hearts out maybe start a brawl thats none of my business

i cant remember why i've been giving them this geometric sort of pattern tbh. i think i drew someone at some point and wanted it to look different to mcbride's design but im not sure if i like it or not. the plus is that i can make diamond motifs though!!

i also cant really remember how my brown skin gold hair came to be 🤔🤔 wait backtracking i think what happened is that i decided to draw del people as black latinx inspired, so it wasn't that big a step to make jalis also dark skinned since they're both in the south (deltora geography is weird tho so like it's not that deep) and then i think i made them blonde as i "why not??" situation but tHEN i thought maybe it's connected to their jalis gold?

my headcanon is that their armour is made of a unique metal that can only be found in diamond territory, it's super hard, tough, and light etc. so maybe whatever is In The Ground is also in them and their blood and shows in their hair????

🥳 fun fact 🥳 wasn't until i had to draw steven and glock side by side that i had realised what i'd done?? i.e. steven canonically has brown skin gold hair too¹. which now forces me to think about whether it should be a coincidence (like it is) or shall i headcanon that steven and nevets' father was jalis² 🤔 ¹ pretty sure it's about the dichotomy, to show contrast but connection between the brothers. i have many steven and nevets thoughts but that should also be another post ² i am.

🟩 DREAD GNOMES

these characters are adin-era, so unfortunately this would be when the gnomes still hunt the kin. whats weird is that i realised that i was picturing the caramelly brown fabric that this gnome is wearing was the kin pelt and not the big furry parts?? i usually picture the kin as more like velvetty. idk what the thicker fur parts would be though?? literally any other animal i guess 😅 i dont know it doesn't make sense and it's only occurring to me right now i shall have to think about it lmao

anyway made them green because why not. maybe they come in different colours idk. this gnome is pre-gellick so does go out in the sun, gellick-era gnomes would be waaaaay more paler they probably looked white. this could be similar to the jalis and like theres something in the grounddd

gla-thon claims that the dread gnomes knew that lesser gems had weaker but the same powers of the great talisman gems (sots), but im not sure if they knew it before adin. would be interesting if they did 🤔 and how they figured it out?? (side note but now im wondering about how withick knew what to write about the gems??) would imply that if they got the great emerald than they could deduce there are others surely. unless they thought it was a freak accident/miracle. anyway we know they love gems and gold etc etc so they obviously decorate themselves with heaps of jewellery

triangle motifs in homage to their mountain 💚

i gave them a sort of war paint ritual. i'm not sure if they all do the same markings, but this one was specifically to symbolise a bow and arrow (arrow going up the nose). you can see it a bit better here lol. i also decided that sometimes they wear it for purely cosmetic purposes. im not sure what the substance is exactly though. i think in my head i was imagining something similar to kohl, but maybe not.

🥳 fun fact 🥳 bre-tak and az-zure are lesbians (i make the rules)

🟦 MERE

oooooh baby this is my guy my babygirl my everything

okay so i think this headcanon developed recently when i last drew sky of rithmere and i thought that mere superstition encouraged them to wear their charms in random spots to avoid them cancelling each other out. it could be construed to be they were inspired by the night sky and the pattern of the stars perhaps. this led them to prefer asymmetrical fashions, mostly prominent in the armour i put badr in

🥳 fun fact 🥳 badr means "full moon" 👀

i think i originally decided the mere had leather armour just to give them something different iirc but the mere characters we see are usually the lithe, speedy, crafty type, so maybe light, mobile armour does work for them lol. anyway the main reason is that i had the image of studded leather, and i was like ohohoho STARS

i generally think of them with muted colours but sometimes they have a bold blue for their prized garmants. like zillah and co, the leaders of rithmere in adin's time were described with bright blue and starry cloaks. (i checked the wiki just to check zillah's name lol and apparently it's actually canon they have leather armour?? so not sure why i thought otherwise) anyway i do currently have minecraft brain but i did vaguely remember that people made ultramarine pigment from grinding lapis lazuli into a powder and im not sure if thats something the mere would do or if there's some strong blue dyes they can get from plants or something native to their territory 🤔

actually im liking that idea now? it would be incredibly time-consuming and labour-intensive but that would add to its value?? real world lapis lazuli has a horrible yield rate of 1kg lapis to 30g of pigment apparently, but it's a strong pigment (unless i misunderstand). alternative name for ultramarine is "permanent blue" apparently so. anyway ultramarine irl is more of a paint pigment, but in roddaverse maybe the mere make a lucky blue dye to use on cloaks and scarfs and shawls etc for good fortune?? me frantically checking that i put badr and luisa's wedding garb in bold blue lmAO oh i did but it's a little muted. they mix in oils and stuff to make the paint, so it doesnt seem like a stretch that they can mix different ingredients or ratio to make a cloth dye (to my very amateur understanding).

so im imagining now that they have a special (probably secret within the mere) process to create bright blue thread speckled with white (also gold to me. im pro deltora lapis with gold) and weave it into their beautiful starry night fabric. the amount of labour and the use of their prized lapis lazuli makes it very special, and maybe some people think it's the lapis that makes the fabric lucky or maybe some people think it's the work of love and time that makes it lucky, maybe both.

🥳 fun fact 🥳 i forgot that "bless your lucky stars" is like a real saying until recently lol

a starry cloak is probably something only the really rich could afford, but i think that they are more like heirlooms and states of office? im not sure if these pieces are things that one would purchase or something they would receive. bit hard to imagine people doing it for free but maybe it's one of those staple things that they revere and everyone else works to support them as well etc like the cooks in noradz are prized. idk. but yeah like a poorer family couldn't get a new one, but they would have one that has been in their family for generations you know? and i think that there would be something about like. idk youre meeting up with your doctor or something and youre nervous and you put on your family's best clothes (the most lucky ones) and maybe youre cynical about the whole good fortune stuff but there's something comforting about wearing the cloak your mother wore and your grandmother and your great grandmother wore, who also had to do such things. something something gives you the confidence to make your own luck because youre no longer pessimistic and allowing avoidable mistakes to happen

this means that the mere giving adin a cloak was a REALLY big deal because they definitely dont just go throwing those around and they would probably only give it to an outsider in trade for a steeeeeeeeeeeep price. which of course means that there would be knock offs with bad quality dye. lmao thats perfect actually. like 10000% there would be merchants in rithmere trying to sell cheaper versions to people that are expensive but still affordable to the average person. some would be different shades of blue, but the more crafty might have dyes that are strong but not lasting.

oh also i headcanon that palace fashion was a conglomerate of aspects from all the tribes but this should be it's own post i think. but i just remembered that i put gold thread in badr's braids in the formal wear sketch. i did that to tie in with the veins/flecks of gold (technically pyrite) in irl lapis lazuli. as such, people at del palace were inspired to weave gold into their hair too.

also gives me another thing to ship badr and luisa lmao. badr can wear some gold and luisa can wear some blue as a treat for me <3 moon and stars ocs beloved

🟨 DEL

alright. okay so del is definitely very white western patriarchal coded (most just a bias of living in that type of society i reckon) but it sucks and i'm passionate about making del NOT that. i think i've said this a million times now but this should be it's own post too, but most succinctly del is a very vibrant, curious, and daring sort of culture (e.g. their recklessness, exploration, trading). they were already marrying non-deltorans before adin (i imagine that some might have dared to marry outside of del, but it would have been way more politically complex so it was rarer and often kept quiet and rural). people of del were moving to other countries (like dorne) and people were probably moving to del, so del is definitely a big mix of different people and languages and superstitions and stuff.

but anyway i wanted to set a sort of base for before that. i've had art on the wip pile for YEARS about this and i'd flesh this out properly when it's done lol (hopefully we see that day) but since the topaz has the power to summon spirits, i really wanted to develop an aspect of del culture around that? i was inspired by Día De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and i still want to do some more in depth research and explore it more properly, but i like the idea that del will celebrate their lost loved ones life, coming together to remember, if they were lucky the got to see and even talk to their spirits. maybe pre-talisman they did know about topaz properties and they had a big deposit of gems that they would wheel out for the festival and the huge pile under the full moon would be enough to allow the spirits and people to interact? anyway this is a longwinded explanation of why my sketches of del fashion could be latinx inspired.

circle motifs in homage to the moon. the trim decoration on luisa's scabbards are based on moon phases :D

i also arbitrarily decided that del people love swishy clothes. they're all about the drama of cloaks and twirling in sundresses etc it's fun. not sure if i will actually follow through with that lol or maybe that can just be luisa.

🥳 fun fact 🥳 i think hearing luisa laugh would heal me

there's no particular reason for why i've been drawing a lot of del people as black, other than maybe spite lol. i think i drew jasmine and that got the ball rolling. del is a blank enough slate that they can be anything. im tired of white people being the front runners asldkjfhalsdf. bUT again del is multicultural, so there isn't a particular look for anyone in del. being del is more a state of mind and being part of community i think. you move to del and you participate in their society in one way or another and boom youre del now they adopted you.

🌈 PLAINS

hiran attire inspired by french aristocratic fashion. i cant remember who posted about it but pretty sure this was something that circulated around the fandom at least a little bit at some point.

added some subtle rainbow to harlow's outfits because he's the strong silent type. but i suppose there are so much more gaudier and extravagant outfits.

i was going to say this was just hira fashion and not like, rural plains fashion but i guess this is the same for all of them. it's just like a general direction for what someone might wear.

the swirly patterns?? i dont know. i drew them when i did adin's pre-battle speech as the last supper but i dont think there's a particular reason. i remember that i was trying to do something unique because lief recognises the cup in the city of rats as the same/similar to the one in noradz, so there had to be something to be recognisable lol but i probably just did it this way because it's relatively easy to doodle, just takes a bit of time.

🥳 fun fact 🥳 harlow was a cook before the shadow invasion. out of desperation, he and many others had to train to defend hira. he's big with natural balance and reflexes so he excelled and is a pretty adept warrior, but he will always think of himself as a cook first, warrior second.

now the armour!! freshest headcanon piping hot. yesterday when i was colouring i was sitting there like wow you look like a tin can man and you are so boring. we went from pretty colours to blank. im almost certain the hiran soldiers were described as silver with white plumes, so i was planning on doing that but they had intricate details on their armour because they are Extra, so it has the swirly patterns you can see on harlow's coat.

but then suddenly i was like. what if. pearlescent.

and honestly i loved it so much i didnt care i was setting myself up for some difficult work ahead lmao. but my general idea was that they're armour looked like it was silver, but if the light catches it at the right angle it exposes the rainbow in it. most of these headcanons i've had baking for at least a year, but this is very new so i dont any hard details yet. kira mentioned enamel or ceramic and lowkey interested in having a look into that so that theres another armour material. maybe it's gonna be like special jalis gold and special plains silver. maybe something else. i also just remembered bismuth exists (same boat as gold as very heavy and soft) but i think maybe it's too loud, i think im liking the more subtle pearlescent thing aLTHOUGH it's a good metallic rainbow reference 👀 maybe there is an esteemed plains warrior with a rainbow sword

ANYWAY pearlescent armour really hit my heart because oh my god once upon a time the plains had a shore and they could visit the sea,,,, lowkey ocean vibes without an ocean [screaming crying cat spinning in a void.gif]

🥳 fun fact 🥳 i have NO idea what food harlow has made. i think i had ratatouille on the brain at the time????

🟥 RALADS

⚠ PROPAGANDA ALERT ⚠

ruby territory best territory. ruby symbol of happiness. warns of danger AND antidote to poison. double helpful. ralads are so sweet and so smart. architectural and engineering marvels. living in harmony with the land and beasts. D'OR!!! manus and nanion friendship underrated and so special to me. horse girls. AND. broome. god theres so much i could say about broome that i cant say anything. anyway you guys know im normal about broome yes of course. separate post etc etc

i think technically this is a headcanon but it's not that big a stretch surely but as above i always picture ralads as in harmony with nature. never take more than they need, know how to work with not against, theyre not the main attraction but an equal part of the bigger picture.. this isn't even about how smart they are with engineering and their perfectly round houses with bricks that are cut perfectly. im thinking about their knowledge of their world is so strong and wide and diverse. they have the most vibrant and potent dyes and pigments around, they have the most colourful fabrics and clothes around. the plains has many colours but it can't compete, and they have different styles. i think that the hirans would trade for the dyes though (maybe undercutting pre-adin, maybe more equal post-unification). i think that they would also have a pretty decent blue dye but it is still inferior to mere lapis lazuli blue. it is probably a dye that could be used for a mid range mere garment?

maybe it's the anime fault but i do usually imagine ralads as barefoot but i also drew iris with construction tools and just the idea of ralads walking around a construction site barefoot was not fun to me. but it could be a hobbit tough soles situation. anyway i drew some shoes so i had a vague reference if i wanted to draw ralad shoes.

obviously had a problem drawing warrior attire for a non-war race. but i thought what if i leaned into the stories the hirans tell about how the scouts and soldiers they send into the ralad wilds never returned and were often found dead with broken bones or whatnot. definitely big watching but never seen vibes imo. so i decked iris out in some camouflage lol

🥳 fun fact 🥳 im sure the ralads can whistle and whatnot to make birdcall signals, but i thought it was fun for iris to be able to make birdcalls with her flute

HEY ALSO headcanon about ralad hair. i was making some dragon art from a doran pov that i was going to save for that but i cant wait now. but we know from Tales that the ralads had a good relationship with the ruby dragons, could even summon them (unless im misremembering and it was more like a premeditated calling) but i was thinking about how they nest with .. human? hair. and i was thinking what if they grow out their hair? and then they offer it to a dragon when they are ready? i dont know if there's a nesting season for dragons but it could be something like that? ralad-dragon ceremony and party time. this isn't a rite of passage type of thing, just something that they like to do. not everyone does it probably, but most do it once, some people do it several or many times in their lifetime. it's an honour, but not really a sacrifice to them. it's part of the world balance and theyre willing to serve the dragons as the dragons serve them as they water the plants and the plants feed them and they feed beasts and beasts feed them.

also dont remember why i did the hair so bright and orangey??? genuinely perplexed lmao. probably was leaning into irl ginger but like THEYRE BLUE so i could probably make them actual red. not sure if this is also like a "theres something in the ground" situation also that makes their hair red but maybe 😂😂

side note but it's lowkey so wild to me that rodda was like yeah these guys are blue-grey with red hair, and then everyone else is like an average person, BUT the mountain people are short. like they're all just some guy basically???

it does make return to del so so funny because fallow is like AYO look at these MONSTERS they are UGLY and WEIRD

but i guess thats part of the motivation to give the deltora tribes some basic unique traits.

🟪 TORANS

okay so toran robes as inspired by japanese fashion is definitely something that's floated around the fandom for ages. i can't remember if it was before or after seeing posts about it that i started my first concept sketches but i think it probably had a hand in helping me visualise what rodda was talking about when she described their robes as butterfly wings when they speed-travelled. like yeah big deep sleeves and floor trailing hems WOULD probably look like colourful butterfly wings in the wind,,

🥳 fun fact 🥳 azami be always hungry. if only she knew someone who liked to cook 🤔

i don't have much to say design-wise, kinda just did various doodling. they would probably be second in extravagance to the plains, but it's a different sort of detail? they are probably a bit more refined and elegant than the hirans who are probably more bold in their designs. torans grow to be vain and selfish (it's already started by adin's time) so they probably have a high value on the beauty of their belongings, and it probably began with imagery of beasts and plants and dragons in amethyst territory, "true" pictures. but as time went on it probably distorted a bit and became idealised and/or fantastical etc.

OKAY SO my brain bluescreened just now for a moment trying to figure out how a people who use magic to make life easier, were also the ones known for their weaving, a manual hands-on task (lief's cloak is praised as being worthy of toran looms, implying high grade; pretty sure this was supposed to be a hint that his mother is not who he thinks she is also). some conclusions are 1) they weave with magic (sad, horrible), 2) they weave as a past-time, for fun etc (okay) but i took it to a third option

for a long time ive been thinking about toran magic as like, a balance and an energy thing (because i like that stuff lol) they cannot create something from nothing, only change things. they couldnt summon a fire, but they could change a piece of wood to fire and start a campfire, or those more advanced could even change the air into fire. but honestly it's left me a bit unsatisfied. like how does that explain the tora-del highway? hELL tora itself? what happened to the marble that got carved away? also how can that mountain have been so perfect there was no cracks or seams?? or did they carve those bits out lol. questions for another day.

anyway i was thinking about how hobbies are good for you, you dont have to be good at something but it's good to do stuff for fun and when you do crafts you get a cool thing at the end of it that you made. but it's also like skills you can develop? and i wondered what if weaving is a starter skill that they learn, some of them at least. maybe there are different activities, and they do the one that speaks to them the most. there were other types of artisans in tora, just not as talked about (i guess they're robes are pretty iconic so it's easy for people to go wow robes wow weavers who made fabric for the robes so soft) like i distinctly remember barda remarking about how tora was untouched and why bandits wouldn't have stolen the carved box that ended up holding the auto-reply letters from the palace.

so what im thinking is that maybe this builds a foundation to help torans visualise and perform their magic?

it actually solves a problem ive had in my headcanons i feel like ive got seven eyes open rn 😂😂 but in relation to del culture and traditions, i've been thinking about there being a physical and spiritual realm of course, and maybe it's the comfort of threes but it felt like something was missing.

i dont know what to call it yet, but im thinking the third thing is like the glue, it connects all things, it's in everything. it's like a third realm but also more of like a medium maybe? kind of sappy but we can just call this the magical realm for now. i actually used to think of toran magic as being like a subset of the greater deltora magic, but now im thinking it's more like torans are more receptive to the magic realm, as del are to the spiritual, and the ralads to the physical; theyre the experts in these things, which is why unified deltora is important 😂; likewise dread gnomes specialise in gems, jalis in combat, mere in cunning, plains in hope perhaps? literally never thought about it quite like this so maybe i will process it different later and designate different specialties.

so when the torans are young, they learn a craft and these skills help them sort of "tap into" the magical realm. so in the case i first thought of, when a toran weaver starts to see and interact with the magical realm, the easiest way for them to engage with it would be to think of it as weaving. they might see the magical realm as threads that connect everything, and weave things together to get what they want. a potter might see it as a malleable mass and sculpt what they want. a carpenter might see it as something to carve, something to break and put together.

the magical realm is not a concrete thing at all, up to interpretation, perhaps a unique experience to anyone who could glimpse in; don't strictly have to be toran, but they are perhaps naturally receptive to it or it could even be entirely a knowledge thing and that they are taught about it more; someone like verity who had her eyes opened to this realm, and learned to interact with it on instinct. does open questions to what the hell is up with the plains lmao but i think thats another post.

__

sorry about all the "i'll tell you in another post" i was attempting to stay on track 😂😂 also there's a 90% chance im gonna forget to come back and write about them so if anyone is dying to know feel free to send me an ask or something???

also if you want to know more about these OCs let me know 👀 i can find an ask game or something maybe. it's a case of i know a lot but will forget it all if asked to speak freely, i need specific questions. i have also developed the first four a bit more, but the last three are not without character so they can still be included. maybe it will be a group effort and they will have Background.

─── ⋅ ∙ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───

The hallway suddenly felt empty as you saw Chan at the end of it. A beat up Nirvana shirt hanging loosely around him, although it somehow accentuated his shoulders. For a week, you had managed to avoid him. Actually, you had done everything in your power to avoid him. Which had been a living nightmare, considering that most of your classes were together - something you had done with intent, as a way to fuel your rivalry. It wasn't petty or even just for fun, it genuinely helped you motivate yourselves to do better.

However, your rivalry had made you grow closer - somewhat becoming friends, in a strange way. It was the kind of friendship where if you happened to be at the same party you'd talk in larger groups. During these parties, your friends would make frequent jokes about the two of you having a sexual tension between you. Which is how you ended up in the situation you did.

─── ⋅ ∙ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───

"Alright!" Your friend put down the now empty bottle in front of the circle of people. "Let's play truth or dare!"

Some groaned, some cheered, and some where too drunk to understand what was happening. Your friend, who was the one who finished the bottle laying in front of you, flicked their wrist and spun the flash around. The liquid wasn't fully gone, and a few drops landed on the ground and the people sitting closest. The head of the bottle pointed to you, and everyone let out an "ooo".

"Truth," you said, gaining a few boo's from the circle.

"I have the perfect question for you!" they slurred out, "Chan's here, right?"

You tensed up at the sound of his name, you eyes immediately locked eyes with him. He tore his gaze away from you to look up at your friend.

"There he is! Okay, okay..." They calmed down their laughter, "Y/N, have you ever had any fantasies of your nemesis..? We've all seen how you look at each other!"

Your friend was very right. However, they also knew about the sex dream you once had of your rival. With this obviously targeted comment, you got flustered. Too drunk to come up with a lie, you told the truth. A meek "yes" escaped passed your lips, but you didn't say another word about it.

─── ⋅ ∙ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───

Chan was approaching you, fast, and you bolted into the library - thinking that you can hide between the shelves and the people there. Luck was not on your side because there was not a soul in the library - you couldn't even find a librarian. So when Chan calls out your name, it echoes loudly in the empty library.

"Why are you running from me?" he asked.

There was only a bookshelf separating you now, and you looked at him through an open space where books should have been placed.

"I'm not running," you lie.

"Don't lie to me, Y/N," he said, almost reassuringly.

He went to walk around the shelf, making you stumble back. Chan noticed your nervous movements and stopped trying to walk around the shelf.

"Are you serious?" he laughed.

"I'm very serious, Chan, leave me alone," you pleaded. "It's too weird!"

"What's weird?"

"Last week, when I-" You groaned and finally walked around the shelf yourself. "Listen, if you're here to gloat then I won't have it."

"I'm not." Chan raised his hands up in defense and approached you. "I just haven't seen you around much. I was wondering if everything was okay."

"No, everything's not okay!" you exclaimed, "I've embarrassed myself in front of you, and I know you won't ever let me live it down!"

He stared at you, and you couldn't make out what he was feeling. The tension was thick enough that you could cut it with a knife. As if it wasn't bad enough, Chan's slow steps had accumulated into standing right in front of you. He grabbed your wrist, as if he was already afraid that you'd run away.

"I know I've put you through a lot of hell sometimes," he admitted in a unusually soft tone, "But I wouldn't kick you when you're down, Y/N."

"Wouldn't you?" you scoffed.

"No." He swallowed thickly. "Not when I've had those thoughts too..."

Chan's words made a shiver run down your spine. He pulled you in closer by your wrist. You stumbled and put your hand against his chest to steady yourself. When you looked into his eyes you saw nothing but pure need and adoration - he wanted you. Bringing your hand up to his cheek, you used it to bring his face closer to yours.

"Would you like to try some of those fantasies out?" you murmured, lips inching closer to his.

"Right here?"

"Right here." You bumped your nose against his, "I need you to take me right here."

His lips finally smashed against yours. You wrapped your arms around his neck, trying to push yourself impossibly close against him. One of his hands snaked around your waist, while the other leaned against the bookshelf. The two of you moved, possibly knocking down some books, and managed to get to a table. At first he pushed you against the surface of the table, but before he could prop you up you took the lead and turned both of you around. Breaking the kiss, you began kneeling - clawing down his chest as you did.

"I want your cock in my mouth, now." You looked up at him as you fumbled with his pants. "You've got no idea how much I've drooled at the sight of it through your pants."

"I think I've got some idea." He chuckled and helped you pull his pants down.

You dismissed his comment, and went to place kisses over his fabric covered cock. He was already hard, which only made teasing him more fun.

"Does it excite you that someone could walk in at any moment, Chan?" you asked and smiled when you felt his cock twitch under your palm.

You took his cock out of his underwear, admiring the size as it bounced up against his stomach. Taking it in your hand, you pumped him a few times. You pressed a kiss to the reddened tip of his cock, watching him squirm as you did. Chan ran his fingers through your hair, gripping it slightly.

"I thought you wanted to be a good little whore and suck my cock," he said. "Isn't this what you dreamt of, baby?"

Before you could reply, he shoved your mouth onto his cock. You gagged around it, and it sent a jolt down to your cunt. Chan's grip loosened, and you started bobbing your head up and down his shaft. Muffled moans and soft groans escaped Chan's lips. When you looked up at him, you saw him looking down with lust filling his eyes.

"That's right, baby, look at me." He grinned. "You're a good slut, aren't you? Maybe I should've done this to you earlier- maybe that'd shut you up for once. Is that right, Y/N? Does it take some good cock for you to keep your mouth shut?"

You moaned around him, continuing your movements. The need to please him filled your body, and you couldn't help but moan when he praised your efforts. Feeling him get closer to climax only made you more eager. Your mouth pulled off of him with a pop, your hand kept doing the job your mouth was doing before.

"Cum in my mouth," you rasped out, "Please?"

Chan didn't respond, instead he grabbed your hair again and pushed you back onto his cock. You let him hold you in place as he fucked your mouth, drool dribbling down your chin. You were lucky that no one was in the library to hear the sounds of your mouth being used - slurping as you hollowed your cheeks around him. Tears started stinging in your eyes, as you looked up to see his eyes shut tight and eyebrows knitted together. Chan's mouth hung open, not even trying to stop any noises that might come out. Your nails dug into his thighs. A string of swears left Chan's lips as he came down your throat.

"So good to me, Y/N," he moaned, "Was it that hard to just do as I say for once?"

"I'm bruising my knees for you and you can't even say thank you?" you joked and stood back up.

After pulling his pants back up, you felt his hands sneak around your waist. He was sporting a big, lovesick grin - still high on endorphins. Your hands cupped his face.

"You owe me an orgasm," you whispered.

"Sure, are you free now?" He pulled you in closer.

"Get me to the nearest bathroom and I'll consider letting you fuck me." You smiled.

I guess this post's going to be a "sequel" to my post about Sunny and Mari because I have Thoughts about the game's potential again, this time concerning Sunny's other friends because god damn they're so underdeveloped and irrelevant 😭

Aubrey holds the "privilege" of being the game's only main character to have something vaguely resembling a character arc, and yet the execution of said character arc still leaves much to be desired. She has some makings of being a nice foil to Sunny (Sunny dealt with his issues by folding into himself in denial while Aubrey dealt with them by taking out her rage on Basil, Sunny's appearance is as bland and average as it can get while Aubrey's appearance is rather garish and visually striking) and I believe that kind of angle would've been really fascinating to work with. I'd have also preferred Aubrey being upfront about being a jerk - her incessant "noooo i'm not a meanie YOU are meanies >:(" deflections don't make her a Deeper character, they just become annoying after a while.

Maybe the game could've featured a flashback (an actual flashback, because Headspace isn't the most reliable source of information) where Aubrey defends Sunny or Basil from jerks harassing them at school and openly expresses her distaste for assholes who think it's okay to pick on someone who can't fight back... only to become that exact sort of asshole down the road. If Basil is the one she stands up for, this could even be their first meeting for additional irony!

Aubrey's rough home life is another aspect of her character the game should've elaborated on, especially given that its only purpose in the story is to be shorthand for "she's just a poor bbygirl please feel bad for her". What if Aubrey was closer to her father than she was to her mother? What if her dad left her mom precisely because the latter developed alcoholism and eventually became difficult to live with? What if Aubrey herself started using booze (albeit not to the extent her mother does) to cope with Mari's death, hating herself because she knows she's becoming exactly like her mother and turning into a person her beloved father would probably look down on? Honestly, the kids' parental issues would've been way more interesting to learn about than listening to them go "waaaa I miss my wife Tails Mari :'c" for the 1403rd time in a row as if we didn't get the memo already

Last but not least, before I move onto Hero and Kel, I'd like to echo @beevean's opinion about the whole "Aubrey shoves Basil into the lake" plot point - Aubrey absolutely should've been the one to save Basil after realizing what she's done. That'd have been a brilliant way to show that she still genuinely cares about her friends despite her violent exterior. This could've also tied into the reason she isolates herself on the final day - even though she makes no bones about being an asshole, the lake incident rattles her and finally makes her recognize that she crossed a line she never thought she'd be able to cross. She and her friends lost Mari already, and they would've lost Basil too, this time by her hands. The guilt overwhelms her, and she decides to shut herself off from the outside world since she thinks that she's a danger to her friends... sounds rather familiar, doesn't it? :)

IMO, Hero arguing that Aubrey still cares about her friends because she quickly dove into the lake to rescue Basil to break her out of her funk before the group hug would've made for a more solid point than "you care because you restored the photo album!", which completely ignores the fact that she stole it from Basil and bullied him for four years over it.

Speaking of Hero, the first thing I'd like to change is the reason for his nickname because the "he likes hero sandwiches lol" explanation is fucking stupid. It'd have definitely made more sense for it to be an in-joke for Sunny's friend group, since Hero's Just Naturally Good™ at everything he does. Maybe Kel or Aubrey could've created some sort of running gag by jokingly calling him "Hank", the decidedly less cool-sounding diminutive form of his real name, Henry.

I think that Hero apparently yelling "a lot of hurtful stuff" at Kel when the latter tried to help him stop being a recluse could've lent itself to some interesting characterization had the game bothered to explore it. What if Hero used Kel's biggest insecurities against him in his rant? He'd be the one to know his younger brother best, after all :)

Maybe the incident could have been used to establish a contrast of sorts between the brothers, with Kel having blocked out everything Hero said about him for the sake of his own mental health and Hero having the memory burned into his mind because he still feels very guilty about the outburst even four years after the fact. What if Hero spent said four years believing that Kel secretly hates him for what happened and being afraid of talking to him about it? Perhaps that would've explained Kel's remark about Hero being "a little more closed off now than he used to be."

Hero himself could've been an interesting character, mainly because his relationship with Mari isn't really touched on by the game, which is baffling since he was her boyfriend. Maybe the story could've tried to indicate that he still has trouble moving on from her suicide by him trying to abruptly change the subject whenever Mari comes up in a conversation. The story could've also tried to show the ways Mari as a person shaped Hero into the person he is (e.g. Mari is mentioned to have had a mischievous side to her, so Hero could've probably had an affinity for mischief too?) I think that sort of thing would've been nice to see in all of the game's characters, actually - the point is that even though Mari is dead, she "lives" on in a way through her friends and her brother, through the habits they picked up from her. Of course, that would necessitate Mari to have a personality beyond "picnic blanket" lmao

Maybe the game could've had Hero (unconsciously) start doting on Sunny as if he was the latter's older brother because, as part of him blaming himself for his friend group's dissolution, he feels especially guilty for "forgetting" about Sunny in his grief. I like to think that this, coupled with Hero picking up Mari's behaviors, would actually hurt Sunny even more, probably since a) it'd fuel his fears about everyone caring about him only because he's the last reminder of Mari they have left and b) every time Sunny sees Hero trying to be affectionate, he's just reminded of his sister, and it hurts.

You know, maybe the game could've even implied that Sunny harbors a bit of resentment towards Kel for having an older sibling in the first place. Sunny himself is aware that it's completely irrational and beats himself up over it ("oh my god, how could I even think something like that? he's my friend!"), but it's still there.

Kel loves his older brother. Kel has an older sibling to love.

Sunny doesn't. Not anymore, at least.

He had a sister.

She's gone now.

Cinder Fall - The Black Queen

Cinder: (Sitting on her black glass throne, Cradling her infant daughter in her arms) Emerald, where is my husband?

Emerald: He left in a hurry for an emergency, ma'am. Something about a town overrun with Grimm.

Cinder: That bastard. Leaving me here, alone, with our child while he's off playing hero? (Smiles wickedly) How should I punish him for this offense?

Baby: WAAAA!!

Cinder: Ack! You're crying?! Why?!

Emerald: Uh, d-don't worry, ma'am! T-Try singing her a lullaby!

Cinder: I don't know any! Um, there, there?

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

1 Hour Later...

Cinder: (Sighs) She's finally calmed down.

Emerald: Well done, ma'am.

Cinder: Damn you, Jaune... Always running out at the worst time to save some town, forcing me to take care of our daughter without you! (Evil grin) Oh, I know how to punish you. I'll poison your meals, so you have to stay in the bathroom. You can't leave home if you're stuck on the toilet!

Baby: WAAAA!!

Cinder: You're crying again?! Why?!

Emerald: Oh, uh, m-ma'am? I just remembered that your husband did leave a note explaining this situation.

Jaune: (Letter) Dear, Cindy, I have to go. I just heard about a village under attack by some dangerous Grimm. I should be home in a few days. Please take care of Pyrrha while I'm gone. I love you both, Jaune Arc.

Jaune: P.S. Please don't make scary faces in front of Pyrrha. She'll cry.

Cinder: ...DAMN YOU, JAUNE! WHERE ARE YOU?!

Baby: WAAAA!!

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

Miles away...

Jaune: You're the last one. You gonna give up?

Grimm: GRAAAAAUGH!

Jaune: Hmph... Didn't think so... Get out of my way, so I can go home already! (Charges, Sword drawn)

Grimm: (Charges forward, Bursts into flames)

Villager: RUN! IT'S THE BLACK QUEEN!

Cinder: Jaune Arc... You...

Baby: WAAA!!

Cinder: H-Help me! She won't stop crying!

Jaune: (Sheathes his sword, Hurries over) I'm coming!

Baby: (Reaches for Jaune, Babbles)

Jaune: There, there... Daddy's here...

Cinder: (Sighs, Smiles)

Divine Intervention Part Four- Difficult Choices

A/N: I'm so sorry this took me so long to post. Motivation escaped me for a while. However, I am finally able to give this update! I hope its liked

Summary: All Might got lucky this time. You were a little more focused on Hagakure not having a proper costume. In other words, you skip class to meet up with the support teacher with Hagakure.

Word count:n 2,143 (damn I lost my touch lol)

╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗

All Might tried and failed to avoid you. It was unfortunate that you'd dropped that bomb on him just before his first time teaching foundational hero studies. Something you knew Izuku was excited for (although neither of you knew it was All Might that was teaching the class until he arrived like "a normal person"). He was giving off the strongest awkward vibes before just sending you all to change into the hero costumes that were made from your specifications. It was the first time you'd fully undressed in front of anyone here. 

"Oh my god Tengen! Your back!" Yaoyorozu exclaimed. You turned to face her after fully putting on a new undershirt for your outfit. It wasn't your demon slayer uniform but you modeled it after Uzuis, and since you had an option to add the extra layer you'd take it. Especially since they didn't use the same type of fabric you were used to for the uniforms.

"Ah, yeah. That." You responded half-heartedly. It'd been there ever since you were young, before even being taken in by the Tengen family. It made you feel bad at the worry in all the girls eyes. "It's been healed for years. Just looks bad." You explained, feeling awkward.

"If you're sure, Tengen… it just looks painful." 

You never really looked at the damage on your back, given that it was difficult and that you… you didn't want to acknowledge that it occurred too much. Especially when you didn't remember anything fully. It made you want to think more about it. To find out. But more important things are happening. 

"I promise it's alright Yaoyorozu. Thank you for your concern." You said turning back to the other girls, a hopefully pleasant smile on your face. It didn't erase their concern. You focused on Uraraka's hero costume, a curious and exciter gleam coming to your eyes. (Izuku's excitement on quirks rubbed off on you after all, especially with people you knew were kind). "Waaaa, Uraraka! Your hero outfit looks so good on you!" A genuine sound of appreciation coming through your voice. "I'm assuming that it's supposed to make sure things don't get-" Your eyes wandered behind her. Focusing in on the gloves floating and boots just in place. Like someone was wearing them. "Hagakure? Where's your Hero outfit?" The girls turned towards the invisible girl.

"Oh! I'm wearing it already!" She happily exclaimed. But you eyes narrowed at her. You quickly moved towards her, hands reaching out to touch her. You felt bear skin under your fingers. Your eyes narrowed. 

"Yaoyorozu. Please let All Might know that Hagakure and I will be late." Your tone left no room for argument. The girls shuffled out the room. You took off the long cape you had and wrapped it around Hagakure. "I'm very sorry if I'm assuming Hagakure. But I don't think being practically naked is a proper hero outfit." 

"They can't really do anything about that though! It's okay! You can't make invisible material!" She exclaimed. 

"This is unfair to you though. Forcing a young woman to run around, naked, with no proper material to protect you from the elements? That's not right! You deserve to feel comfortable and secure in what you will be using as a hero. It's bullshit they think they can skimp out on it." You said. Somehow you were looking right into her eyes. Something no one had really done before. "Its shitty work and they think because you're young you won't bring it up. It's disgraceful." You spat out the word. It… it felt warmer. Like she was being enveloped in a warm hug, was it just your cape? You both began walking, out of the locker room and straight to the support department. Neither of you saw a single teacher, or maybe because you looked as if you were on a rampage no one came to tell you both to go back to class. 

You reached for the doorknob before suddenly grabbing her and throwing yourself away, shielding her from the resounding boom and the rubble of the destroyed door. Your instincts were insane. 

"Hatsume! Tone it down!"

"No promises!" A loud cackling voice yelled out. 

"Students! Hero students. Already?" The teacher sounded confused. And to be fair, it was the first day your class was officially wearing your Hero costumes, already having complaints was pretty weird, but-

"Her hero outfit is unsafe. And frankly an insult. I understand that it's difficult to create something that can help her blend in, but it's insulting to make a student run around practically naked." You said quickly pointing out her gloves and shoes. She felt her face heat up a little, you couldn't just say that!

"That's a pretty serious accusation. And I'm willing to listen, kid. So please, come in and we can discuss this." Another boom sounded within the classroom. Much smaller this time. He sighed. "I'm the teacher for the support course. Powerloader." He said. You gently led Hagakure into the room, a hand at her back, making sure that just in case another explosion happened she could be safe from it. It was like you could see her. She felt your face near her ear. 

"Ah, sorry for just taking over like that. It just pisses me off seeing someone have to suffer from another's inability to make the proper clothing." You whispered. You sounded genuinely apologetic about it. You probably thought she was embarrassed with you taking over but-

"Its fine Tengen, I'm… actually really grateful. I don't think I would've done this at all…" She whispered back. And she probably wouldn't have. Maybe she would've even gotten frostbite from Todoroki's quirk or something. Stepped on a nail because she had to take off her boots. It was the first time she didn't feel like she had to be loud in order to be seen. It seemed like you just intuitively searched for her. You gave her a genuine smile. And it honestly made her heart skip a beat, as she clutched the fabric of your cape. 

It took the entire class period to talk with Powerloader about her hero costume. And you both missed All Mights class. Hagakure couldn't really find it in her to care though. Yeah it sucked to miss a class taught by the number one hero, but… someone actually saw her for once. And she didn't have to be loud for it. 

╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗

You didn't regret missing the class. Much. That student who blew up the classroom several times heard about the difficulty of creating a material that would help someone invisible stay invisible and very aggressively ask to take on the challenge of making Hagakure's hero costume. She seemed unhinged, but the very few aged spirits following her looked at her fondly. Even saying that she would replicate a quirk if needed in a support item that made you give the final push for both Hagakure and Powerloader to accept Hatsumes aggressive pestering.

But you were worried about Izuku and his fight with Bakugou after you found out about it. It left your brother essentially incapacitated for the rest of the school day. And then when you were out of the classroom, he'd finally gotten back but just ran outside after Bakugou who put him in the infirmary!

But at the end of the day you both just went home, did whatever you needed to do. And as Izuku slept you kept watch. Telling the principle and All Might was the right call. But that feeling in the pit of your stomach kept growing. 

You didn't sleep another night. Would this feeling ever die down? Was it just the fact that you knew about All for One? Or was this feeling something bigger than this world? Why were you torn away from your family? Why were you brought here?

What was going to happen? And… would you be able to protect them from what ever you felt was coming?

╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗

Nothing too major happened after All Mights class. You and Izuku were voted into being the class president and vice president respectively. To which you both reacted… not negatively but not fully willing. You resigned the moment you were called as vice president, immediately handing the power over to Yaoyorozu. She fit much better for it anyways. Smart and held together, thinking outside the box. Plus you had voted for her anyways. She was a better option and much more coolheaded. Izuku ever the people pleaser he was didn't resign just yet. People voting for him made him feel obligated to be class president and even though he was uncomfortable, he didn't want to disappoint his classmates. But during lunch, the school was broken into. Alarms went off and everyone was in a frenzy. You were sure that someone was going to get trampled. But then Iida slammed right into the emergency exit sign. Yelling about how it was just reporters and that none of you were in any real danger. You think thats what sealed the deal for Izuku passing on the mantle as well. And Iida became the new class president. At the end of the day it didn’t keep the spirits out of your business. The spirit of a young girl was running through the halls all day. Begging for help, begging for someone to see her. It broke your heart hearing her. But you very well couldn’t let your classmates know this. You waited and the other spirits that wandered around calmed her. Let them tell her you could see all of them, and she begged you to save her baby brother from All for One. You went to Nezus office immediately after. 

The little girl was no longer there, she was pulled away, her spirit was tethered to her brothers. And she didn't want to leave him all alone. She didn't want to fail as a big sister again, was what she said. It left a different feeling of unease with you. Shimura Tenko… was awfully close to Shimura Nana. You hoped they weren't related. You prayed for it. 

It was really unfortunate that your prayers went unanswered, and Shimura Tenko was in fact related to Nana.

╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗

You needed to know more about Shimura Tenko. Unfortunately, you couldn’t just travel through Japan to find out any information. Afterall, it would probably be best to actually search in person. But, you were lucky to say that you had the internet on your side (another perk of being here you suppose). There was… a Shimura Kotaro. But all his information was that he disappeared around 16 years ago. Only dust was found at the family home. His children haven't been found either. He was Shimura Tenkos father. And now you had the unfortunate knowledge that All Mights mentors child was dead, her granddaughter was dead and her grandson was working under All for One. You figured this would be dealing with some grand reveal, from All for One to All Might. One that would shake the man to his core, to stop smiling in his buffed up form. One that won't be as cutting now. You would tell him, warn him. And yes it would probably destroy him, feeling as if he failed his mentor. But, if All for One didn't have a backup revelation to shake the core of the number one hero, how could he dare call himself the ultimate villain. As Ashido would probably say, he's a "basic bitch" or something to that effect. She… she really made you miss Mitsuri.

╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗

You were going on a field trip… in your hero costumes. Well most of you were in your hero costumes at least. Izuku, the poor boy, had half of his costume destroyed so he was wearing the gym uniform. It made you upset that you missed him taking down Bakugou. But also incredibly proud that he took him down too, even if he had to go to Recovery Girl right after. But… you remembered Midoriya-san giving that to him. How she said she was sorry for not believing in him, but she would support him 100% now and how she was so proud. And Bakugou just… destroyed it so easily. You knew he knew Midoriya-san, he was Izukus childhood "friend" after all. So he had to have known that she made that for Izuku. He still looked down on your little brother. You shook the thoughts of that away. Things would change, Izuku had very high hopes since you all made it to U.A. and if he truly believed that Bakugou would change for the better you'd let it slide for now. If he didn't though, you'd talk with Aizawa and the principal about it. Even if Izuku begged you not to.

[mikimagines]

Hello! May I request cute fluffy imagines of Kiibo, Miu, and Rantaro if they found a love letter from you in their locker? Also- Thank you for being an amazing person, make sure to take care of yourself today!

waaaa,, thank you !!

mod mikan !

Kiibo, Miu, and Rantaro finding a love letter in their locker.

love letters are a thing I see mostly in media when I was younger,, I don’t think I see it anymore.

Kiibo (K1-B0)

Kiibo thought it was a threat letter for a second.

like one telling him to watch out or some robophobic threat.

so he didn’t take it out for a small while, he just kept it close to him.

well until he was begged enough by Miu and Kokichi...

so he opened it, then of course still didn’t understand your kind words, so miu being the love expert her self. she explains.

when she was done their was a kiibo was probably near to overheating his circuits. while kokichi laughed at him a little more.

although he is a robot and does know almost everything, kinda. He really doesn’t understand the feeling yet.

So honestly with miu and sometimes kokichi helping, (for the fun of it, then getting bored...and leaving)

and when they finally figured it out it was you, how do I say this.

Kiibo overheats and crashes.

you all had to call the ambulance. which continued the confessions later at it.

that must be a story to tell.

Miu Iruma

miu will show it off to everyone.

when I mean everyone, I mean it.

she showed off the letter to you, which who was the creator of the letter and you were so close on just confessing it was you right there.

especially kokichi since he can’t say anymore that “no-one wants a dirty,, y’know. C*m Dumpster.”

he still comes up with something else on how it might be a prank.

anyways this has to her happiness day ever, other than the kokichi part.

so she has to find you, again.

which it didn’t take a while, she is a gorgeous girl genius. #girlboss

I mean, she did guess literally all the killers during every single class trial she was in.

so, it was easy after a day of it, so when you came up to you asking you if you wrote it, you nodded your head.

and the girl went wild, not literally but...she was happy at least.

because the “gorgeous girl genius has done it again!”

yes, it means she also accepts your feeling too...

just let her have the moment please. (she feels so loved rn)

Rantaro Amami

well, it finally happened.

after y’know being “attractive” and having a “playboy”; “womanizer” appearance, it actually happened.

a love letter, to his own shock.

although he had know everything thanks to his little sisters, it looks like it finally happened to him...huh?

he’s a little mysterious to everyone as well, so finding you would be a long story to find out.

still, it was a little embarrassing knowing that he figured out a little quickly.

also he likes talking about the heartfelt words you put in the letter.

y’know, for fun. lol.

(I technically had no idea for him other than this,,,??)

guess who missed a note when trying to get a full combo!! me.

mod mikan.

Moonlighting Notes

Previous: Character Creation, HtbG

Moonlighting Ch 1

Boys are dizzy upon entering moon base (Why exactly was this a thing? Like was it because Lucretia made it so the bureau couldn’t be remembered/ comprehended by anyone not inoculated?)

AAVVIIIIIIII!!!!! He is from Brandybuck and gives them some brandy to ease the dizziness (Team player, I want someone like Avi in my crew.) 

JOHAAANNNNNN!!!! Half elf! v v sad boy. So talented!!! (I kinda forgot how mopey he was since I’ve been catching up with the rest of TAZ )

Magnus why you tickling a grown-ass man? (This is so funny and weird considering how their relationship grows later on?)

Best god damn musician that ever existed. Plays violin like a mad man (He plays the Violin… I feel like Lup would have challenged him so god damn fast. But still, is he the legit best Violinist in Faerune?)

Magnus drinks the Ichor first. Remembers everything that was static before now being clear as day. Months and years ago there was a war that ruined and killed entire towns, loved ones, and people he knew. (Juliaaaaaa! God that sucks realizing that tbh. But also later on Travis says that Magnus was the leader of a Militia going against Governor Kalen. So what was that about exactly? They might actually explain that later on so I gonna wait and see.)

”You have never seen anything like this”~griffin about Fisher (Oh, how incorrect that statement is. Especially for it to be Magnus he’s talking about.)

Taako drinks next then Merle (Ahh, Taako the trust issues are showinggggg! But I don’t blame you it’s okay you have full right to be sus)

Taako has a memory of working on his grandpa’s farm where he leaves the milk out too long and remembers sour cream (he was 65yrs old) (God, does that mean Lup was there too? )

Johann came up with the name “voidfish”? (To be fair the IPRE gang only called him Fisher so it actually is pretty neat if Johann really was the guy to come up with the name.)

Magic Brian was 121yrs old and a drow elf (A young man just looking for mischief)

Magnus tries to tickle Johann again bit he smacks his hand away (YES JOHANN Stand up for your self!!!!! What a king.)

Johann is in the “gamekeeping” department? (I mean he is the guy that feeds and takes care of Fisher by means of feeding him information that needs getting rid of. So it kinda makes sense.)

Moonlighting Ch 2

They meet Lucretia!  (I want to punch her so bad. I’m sorry if yall like Lucretia but she infuriates me. She actually is a really cool character with a complex personality that I can actually appreciate but I still hate what she did and I will go much deeper into it later on.)

Griffin makes a joke about having to “create a new monster that takes away memories” so that he can get Taako to unlearn some of the components to making a taco (Good god. That came back to bite us in the ass didn’t it? Huh, JUNIOR. Didn’t it? That hurts a lot too.)

Lucretia doesn’t know” what the umbrastaff is (I saw a post with some Lucretia angst which I can appreciate because she could have been “in denial” about it being Lup’s umbrastaff but I got angry nonetheless.)

She believes that they are much more capable than they believe that they are (YEAH HUH? Its almost like they have less faith in themselves because someone took away their memories and the knowledge of their powers or something and they had to start all over. Wild.)

The Bureau of Balance has only been in operation for less than a year and they were not able to do anything until they discovered the Voidfish (More like Lucretia had only then figured out the logistics of her organization enough to introduce Fisher to everyone. Which in retrospect is very smart and it’s the same thing I would do at that point in time but anyway.)

Magic Brian was a wayward seeker who worked for the bureau of balance (aHA! So technically in the Graphic Novel, he should have had a bracer on unless he used a spell to conceal it which is reasonable (I won’t hate on Carey I just remembered it and noticed he didn’t have a bracer on. it’s nothing wild))

CUE TRIAL OF INITIATION! (Ngl I forgot this was a thing because of how little attention I was paying at the beginning.)

Magnus is the strongest, Merle is the smartest, and Taako is the bravest. (In all aspects, I would have switched Taako and Merle but considering at this point Taako really was a dullard I can agree with their placements.)

The smallest ogre is blue the middle ogre is green and the big ogre is red (Awe I think Griffin used all of their fave colors to Mirror the three of em. <3)

Magnus’ first blood with ripping arms off (And so it begins. God, I love that Lil character detail in Magnus. It’s so frickin funny.)

”I thought I knew him! he’s an animal!” ~Taako (I mean in The Stolen Century he waaaas taught by a bear so… not far off there bud.)

Taako falls back and breaks his wand and in return, the umbrastaff begins to shift and wiggle in his bag until he gets it out. (It never clicked that this was the time that Griffin listed in Lup’s return in the finale. Until now… That’s so cute and so sadddddd)

Moonlighting Ch 3

Magnus got to keep the robot arm(s?) (Yay! Sadly he will give them up later on :( but it is for good reason so :) )

Lucretia came up with the name “Bureau of Balance” (Why? Like why Balance. I would name it Justice or Equity or something else but Balance doesn’t seem right in line with what they are doing.)

Lucretia treats davenport as her charge or ward (Rude. For one. It also hurts a lot more when you realize he is her superior. I hate it so much.)

”We very quickly cut your hand off take the bracer then reattach the hand so its no big deal” in reference to how they’ll get the bracers off after they find all the relics. (1- I forget how they get the bracers off in the end but did Lucretia really not plan for that?) (2- heheh *cut to Merle in three Arcs*)

The seventh relic is love “after we find the sixth item we’ll come back here” (She has the 7th in her hand actually so yeah you’re only gonna need to find six. But also it kinda was Love. The bonds they all had together helped Lucretia do what she needed in the end with the help of Taako’s idea and together they ended the Hunger’s reign over Faerune.)

”who called themselves the Red Robes- are all gone- most of them killed in the hunt for their relics- bring them back here if you find one” (Uh. Lucretia really named her family the “Red Robes” and made them sound evil because they did what they could at the time. Also they aren't “all gone” the only one(s) you don’t know their whereabouts of yet are Barry and Lup. AND YOU PUT ANTI- LICH WARDS ON THE DAMN MOON DUDE. If you really wanted to find Barry to talk then you would have not done that.)

Leon the artificer! (He is trying his best and I love him)

The umbrastaff is a magical umbrella created by the Umbrawizards “very few” of them exist (Boy HUH? Did Lup like… start a gang of wizards? Or did Lucretia feed Leon false Information?)

Taako being inept at the gashapon (My favorite thing. He is played as stupid at the time but if we consider his character, in general, knowing everything we do he is just fucking with Leon and I love him for that.)

RAILSPLITTER!!!! Phantom fist!!! Wand of switcheroo!! The X-treem teen bible and SCUTTLEBUDDY!!!! (Pay close attention! These Mousekatools will be useful later on!)

Awe Magnus got everyone the stones of far speech 

They are moving to Level 4!!!

Next: MotRPL, Lunar Interlude I,

Hi syd! Good morning I know you were sleeping when I sent this but oh my god holy shit I am so mad. Shannon honey what are you doing?? Literally every conversation they had after the challenge made it sound like she was done with him which she should’ve been but why? When she said in her recoupling speech I hope this person doesn’t disappoint me but honey he already did!! Multiple times as you said! Why is she giving him another chance? Dude when she said his name I screamed so loud like what? Shannon throw that man away!! He ain’t shit!! Moving on from that (kinda) do you think he’ll go for that new girl who said she wanted to go on a date with him (I don’t remember her name)? Imo since it’s so close to the fallout of this situation I don’t think he will bc he’s scared but that being said if it were further down the line like the new girls came in next week I think he’d entertain it bc he ain’t shit. Like come on!! Cash was so right he was going in on that kiss. He was touching her ass and shoving his tongue into her mouth and for what?? HE AINT SHIT I HATE HIM I’m sorry that this whole message is just me getting angry at josh but that’s all I can think about rn so maybe after I calm down we talk about the other stuff that happened!! Have a good day my queen- E

OKAY HIIIIII HELLO IM FINALLY CAUGHT UP (except apparently I cant watch last nights episode because its only on Paramount+ what the fuck is that)

OKAY. OKAY OKAY OKAY. OKAY.

First of all, Shannon and Josh are TOXIC. ABSOLUTELY TOXIC BOTH OF THEM. I will say though, she was absolutely right in what she said to Josh, and the fact that she picked him again after all of that made me so mad?! Like at least save Christian and be friends with him? I was so sad to see Christian go :( Like I get it but WAAAA HE WAS SO NICE AND FUNNY

Also Trina is still so weird to me like girl ???? Idk if you remember from season one when miss Caro bounced from guy to guy thinking each one was like IT for her .... but Trina is giving me very much those vibes and I'm not down for it.

I'M SO MAD I WANT TO WATCH LAST NIGHTS EPISODE LIKE WHAT THE FUCK? I follow that account AfterTheIsland thats run by Alex and Elizabeth from S1 and they posted that apparently Kyra and Will went to the hideaway? Wtf?! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT?!?!??!?!

hello setsuka chiebukuro, the ult billiards player!! how are we doing today? :) besides her i also ship her with hibiki and i’ve been thinking about kokoro too for some reason?? i just think they would have a good dynamic together man,,,

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character:

first and foremost sora!!!! i feel really uncomfy with soruko however that doesn’t mean i don’t like them platonically!! they’re just vibing and and having a great time!!

My unpopular opinion about this character:

she!!! is!!! not!!! bland!!! characters don’t have to go through severe trauma or a massive character arc in a story in order to be likable!!! characters don’t have to change their entire personality in order for u to like them!! plz start evaluating and analyzing characters and have critical thinking skills instead of saying “lol no depth therefore bad” (this doesn’t mean u have to like her!! this just means to stop saying she bad because she didn’t go through trauma, jfc)

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

linuj plz stop telling us that yoruko’s sexuality is “up in the air” and just admit that she isn’t straight challenge

Favorite friendship for this character:

again already answered this but like,,, her and emma,,, trans lesbian solidarity,,,

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character:

me =D

as for canon characters ummm reikako is ultimate pogchamp!! i love them so much i’ll probably draw this once i’m done but i have no motivation for art rn so yeaaah

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character:

tbh her and haruhiko could’ve had cool interactions with each other!! mikako and tsurugi + kinji is great too! just those three staring at their classmates almost setting the room on fire and sighing

My unpopular opinion about this character:

guys. plz stop reducing her character down to this “quiet goth emo uwu”. some of u need to start analyzing characters more deeply instead of slapping stereotypes onto them and then either ignoring them or praising them as if they can do no wrong. i beg u to start picking up on this

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

would’ve been really nice if she. yknow. lived

Favorite friendship for this character:

!!!! her and yamato!!! i’m purposefully ignoring canon because yes and the two of them have been best friends since hanzo adopted mikako and they helped & supported each other when it came to coming out as trans

My crossover ship:

again, me and her!!!! :flushed:

[catboyralphlanyon-archive]

Pt 1 (Hello! I'm the anon that sent the message about everyone being an elitist jerk-off) How about that scene in Chapter 2 where Laurie is like "I need to get a scholarship to Oxford and if I don't well that's fine too because my mother will put out all necessary means" like fuck off laurie. and i see what you're doing mary renault, trying to throw Reg in there so she can say "well, laurie isn't really a classist bc he still talks to reg" that doesn't make up for the fact that he still judges..

(including pt. 2 here)

There are a lot of aspects to adres here so I’ll divide this into sections:

1) I hate how Laurie just EXPECTS his mom to sacrifice everything for him! It’s like she’s only there to serve him, and wen his mom finally meets someone that makes her happy and she’s gonna get married what does Laurie do? Whine about it like a baby because he doesn’t want to share his mommy! waaaa!!! (And yes Straike is not the best man but we never get ANY indication that he treats Lucy Odell bad??? From what we see he’s perfectly kind to her??? I mean, he even puts up with Laurie for her sake? I’m by no means defending Straike and how homophobic he is, but I just don’t think it’s ok for Laurie to resent his mother’s happiness so much). But that is another rant for another time which I will link when I write and how dirty Lucy Odell is done and how awful her characterization was.

2) Reg Barker! Where do I even start? He’s there as the main character’s best friend, and yes he’s the "look! Laurie cannot be elitist because he has a... poor friend" but at the same time his whole story arc revolves around how BECAUSE he is poor he married a "bad woman" (another one for the misogyny bingo!) and how Laurie thinks of her as a slut. I remember when Reg tells Laurie about Madge cheating on him Laurie just thinks "oh yeah, she looked like a slut I’m not surprised she cheated" just- WTF?! And then Laurie goes on to basically IGNORE his supposed "friend" for the majority of the book because he’s to busy thirsting over Andrew

3) I don’t really recall the part where it says that about bunny? (Maybe you could tell me later?) I do recall Bim saying he did t go to one of those fancy private schools (public school in the book) and Laurie thinking he was stupid and just not a "good gay" because apparently he didn’t know all about the classics and shit. And just how every gay character we meet is portrayed as unlikeable and how gay people "shouldn’t be" because apparently gay people are not supposed to take pride in their identity? and there is ONLY one way to properly be gay? If you are unapologetically gay, or are too open about your sexuality, or just simply don’t blend in with "normal" people you are not a "good gay." I remember reading somewhere that Mary Renault thought that only men from high society could actually be gay (which is just ridiculous and complete bullshit) and this obviously shows throughout the whole book. She also didn’t believe in lgbt+ movements/activism since she just believed gay people should be fully integrated into society (again I will elaborate on this later) I’m telling you, as a person that lives surrounded with STRAIGHT elitist jerks these "gay" eleitist jerk are no better.

Mortal Kombat: Return To Of Kombat Shrines

     Johnny Cage wiped sweat and angrily licked his upper lip, “So now is time of glory fighting, do you enjoy pain sandwiches?” Reptile looked down then up, then right, then at Johnny, then thought for a moment, then slightly bent his right knee. “If it is delicious swipings you like, then pain it is to your personal area parts!” Reptile slightly moved his foot and a small plume of dust was swept up. “See?”, said Reptile looking down at the ground. “See what?”, said Johnny. “Sorry, I was checking my massages.” Reptile now furious yelling: “Did you no like my dance moves?! If you were not so busy with your stupid, silly, awful, annoying, amusing, time consuming, absurd, benign, delightful and awful yammering you would have witnessed a thing that would have made you aware of it existing. Johnny, once more involved in a text with his agent looks up and raises his right eyebrow so it is higher than his other eyebrow, the other eyebrow is located on the opposite side of his cranium. The main idea is that there are two eyebrows and the one he is moving is the current one described now. “Well I...” Reptile interrupts while Johnny is speaking just now a moment ago: “Shut up you stupid pud!” Johnny stops moving, puts his hands at his sides and Reptile does the same, neither of them continues to move and stares silently at one another...day turns to night.......

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!

Sonya slowly roused from sleep in her room which the sun was coloring a golden shade of yellow, her hair lay about her carefree and flat, like pancakes left on a stove. The pancakes were delicious but there were more made than needed, so some were saved with Tupperware. With a majestic stretch, she raised up from her bed and arched her well toned body showcasing her physique and at the apex letting out a horrendous fart: “PLBBBBBBBBBBBIP!!!!!! It violently shook the adjoining wall. “Really Mom? What the fuck you smelly fucking bitch?! I swear to God after the first 3 games you just let your shit go and do you know how embarrassing it was having to go to school explaining that you were on medication while shouting: “ERUAGHHHUHEEEHHUHHH!” While ripping off men's heads and pissing on their ashes?” Cassie was a typical asshole teenager who was spoiled and smelled like gum and hairspray, even after raising her to be a man she still insisted on being a bitch. Cassie is painfully aware of how stupid it was for her mother to have bred with her father, although to be fair he was the only normal person with a normal penis in the tournament (Kano had a metal cock and Jax was...look Sonya is a racist okay? She wouldn't date Liu Kang, she wouldn't even date Quan Chi due to his Jewish heritage.) “You had your pick Mom, you stupid fucking cunt bag, you could have banged a thunder guy, or even sold your soul to a sorcerer with erectile disfunction and I would be able to kill fuckers with my magic queefs with green magic clouds or some shit. Noooo, instead I have some stupid ass drone and shoot people in a martial arts tournament.” Sonya had been silent up till this point, she had been busy breathing in her flatulence as she found it absolutely fantastic, she loved breathing her own fart gas, especially early in the morning after a night of drinking and eating peanuts. “Cassie, you are a whore, a fucking mistake, we actually were using condoms AND I was on birth control AND had a diaphragm inside me yet we still somehow got fucking cursed with you.” Sonya picked a small booger from her nose, smelled it and flicked it with fury at her daughter where it hit the wall with a shower of gross sparks. “You were a mistake and so was I, we all were because I recently found out Kano is my actual father so yeah, our family is a shit show even by Outworld's standards.” Cassie and Sonya both shake hands and salute, the entire room is suddenly engulfed with flames.

Outside...”Thank God we got out of that”, said Cassie. “You can say that again.”, said Sonya. ”Thank God we got out of that”, said Cassie. “You can say that again.”, said Sonya.”Thank God we got out of that”, said Cassie. “You can say that again.”, said Sonya. “So Mom, are you finally ready to admit you are a stupid whore?”, Cassie looked at her Mom for a response. “Yeah totally am slut.”, Sonya smiled and revealed she was missing 3 teeth, making her smile resemble a hobos. Sonya then let out a battle cry: “Lalalalalalala!!!” Cassie looks up, then down, turns around once, then back at her Mother. “Why did I just do that?” Sonya glares seriously into the distance at a nearby tree. “It's because you are a warrior, because you understood what that thing was to know. When instructions were handed out and mailed, they were hard to understand due to being comprised of small pictures with no words. We all still were able to assemble the furniture ourselves but I will never forget it, that is when I knew you were the un-chosen one, the one who was supposed to know the thing. Then all this other stuff happened, and I am also hungry now.” Cassie looks like a cat who was wet but then became dry and hoarsely replies: “Then, we dine in Hell tonight! My little kettle corn Mommy Mom!!!” Now different things happen to other characters too.

Scorpion grabbed at the brown tube which had become the ultimate opponent with a scrap of white barely hanging onto the edge of the roll. “Damn!”, Scorpion reached out and snatched the tube off the holder with a soft loving gesture. “By the fires of unholy eternal Heck, this is less than what I desire!” He then goes through a painstaking task of peeling back enough cardboard to cover his hand and reluctantly lowers his palm to relieve his stinky shameful horrible waste he was naughty enough to expel because he is bad and a devil person. “Whew it sure is smelly in here now!”, waving his hand in a circular, counter-clock wise and sideways motion he sang a sad, uplifting ditty: “Iiiiiiii juuuuuussst tooook a craaaaapp, iiiiiitt waaaas reallllly baaaaaddd, it buuuuuuuurrned my deeeeemonic aaaaaassss and nooooowww I am saaaaad.” He exited with a mighty flush as his enemy faced him down right outside the door. “I need to shit too once in a while dickhead.”, Sub Zero was not pleased, ever since this uneasy peace it seemed there was never a free moment to use the bathroom. “What are you doing in there anyway? It is not like you are jerking off, your dick was burned off years ago.” Scorpion erupted in a bout of flame and was now a skeleton. “Nooo, I can't, should we talk about what happened to your appendages? Or is it too soon to mention the ice tray incident?” Sub Zero became sad and cried tears which froze before being able to escape his stupid cold face. “You do not know what it is like, shrinkage was a real issue and you know how it makes me feel. Can we not do this right now please?” “Oh all right, I supposed you have been helping me with my baths and daily feedings, ever since we moved into this apartment I have begun feeling like you do not hate me anymore, you never rip off my head, you are always criticizing me and it makes me hot...not in a good way either. Sub Zero set down his knitting and looked at his friend, “Look, I really still need to use the bathroom okay?” “Then use it.”, said Scorpion. “I will.”, replied Sub Zero with a pep in his step as he pranced to the bathroom angrily. Sub Zero then uses the bathroom. Having finished using the restroom, Sub Zero returns to the couch and resuming knitting while humming: “Dun dun da dun da dun da dun da dah. Duh da du da duh da, (murmering) mortal kombat” Scorpion now in human form once more slaps his right knee past his thigh, but not quite the very tip of his knee, about 4 inches away from the front of his leg where the human knee joint is usually located. “See? No hate, just some odd couple bullshit...you used to be cool man.” Both beginning humming together as we slip out quietly...I mean really who wants to watch that? They are like a married couple.

II

Lament of Badgers

Liu Kang looked out over Edenia, a sprawling and beautiful land, with its sparkling waters and happy squirrels. He then put down the magazine and observed his dreary surroundings. The apartment was in his Mother Sui Kang's name not his own so he could not help but try to follow the rules, no loud chewing, no spiked arm bands on the couch and the worst rule of all, no fighting. There was water running, in fact it had been running for too long now... “Kitana! Are you almost done washing our produce yet?” “Almost my little Egg Foo Hung!” God he hated that nickname, yes he had a huge dong, but it was not the most mighty of the Wangs, Goro held that title. “Did you check the mail K? I was too busy rehearsing for my graduation speech.” Kitana laughed crazily and did a back flip, “I am so glad to be who I am! And yes I checked the mail and no you did not get anything, hehhhahahahahahaaaa!” Liu Kang stood up with speedy and fresh air while flossing shouting: “You disrespect the fish you get the whole thing, you wanted to see, you dreamed so hard like a fighting fish of glory. So now what say the opponents?” Kitana rose in the air on one leg while posing with her hands clasped and began to sing “Shake shake shake senora shake your body line.” and while gyrating was also firing a Desert Eagle at her husbands feet. “For fuck's sake what is wrong with you? You crazy ass bitch, we are gonna get evicted now cut it out!” Kitana descended to the ground and scratched at the wood, she scratched until her fingers were bleeding. Liu Kang watched for a few moments and then bowed, back flipping out of the room while letting out small “Wudap!” and “Wah!”.

Keys were heard jingling the doorknob. “Waiyaiyaiyaiyaiiiiiiii!!!” It was the landlord, must have gotten off early. She flung herself into the room, then backwards down the stairs and out into the road. A passing car honked its horn loudly, Sui stood up and lifted the vehicle over end like it was made of paper. People scattered in fear as she walked up to the window of the car where a man was stammering and shaking. She pointed her bony dirty green finger in his dumb stupid face, then turned and ran back up the stairs, then fell back down the stairs, then went to the local corner store for a candy bar, then returned to the stairs, she then carefully went up them and hopped over the last one, she was not going to fall for that shit again. Entering the room to find filthy empty food containers and dirty diapers stacked in the corner. “ I am home you lazy no good doo doo Kang!” Her screams filled the room and Liu Kang smiled warmly, “Hey Mom, did you check the mail? I am waiting for a collectors edition mug with a map of how to get to the new island for the chess tournament I told you about. His mother punched a hole in the wall, lit a cigarette while bouncing a basketball with her arm still in the wall, she took a drag and no smoke ever came out. “I know how deep this goes, there is no chess tournament, you must have gotten drunk with rent again right?” Liu Kang looked into a nearby mirror, winked, wiped his face, noticed his left eyebrow was getting long again and plucked a hair, then procured a shaver and removed the entire thing. “Oh no now I look not like a furious fighting man of burning muscle punches anymore. “Oh you look so handsome, like a suitable rental car with extra seat room!” His mother was now juggling firey blades and a cat. “Mom why do you always know just what words are said?” She swung a samurai sword at a watermelon in mid-air. “From here on out I will never talk like a boondalungaloo again. I am sorry that you are such a little baby bitty beep beep blop ploopy bloopy blee. It is the only way to center your Chihuahua.”

Liu Kang nodded and quietly painted his finger nails hot pink, he stopped to apply a small sticker of a baby chick to his index nail. “Kitana, thank you so much for this color it is striking, get it?” Kitana burst into the room wearing an overcoat and a bullet proof vest. “I am happy you like it, to make others happy is the motto of the badger!” Liu Kang fought to prevent vomiting as he drank a glass of rotten milk. He looked at a picture of himself on the wall, “Badger? What are you talking about?” Kitana set her puppy down and it ran backwards to its kennel. “You know silly, the Lament of Badgers Festival. It is what precedes Mortal Kombat in the hood bitch.” Liu kang took a long drink of chunky sour milk, “By the Gods why am I drinking this? Yeah I forgot, oh well, guess it is time for DVR watching. Liu Kangs ugly stupid fingernails tapped the remote lightly. He list-fully opened the viewing guide and selected his library, then navigated to settings, system and updates and then moved down 3 places to select update check, the screen flickered and he was back at the previous menu. Liu watched as his TV levitated off the ground and fell, shattering like a pillow dropped on bags. “Liu Kang you silly sad Sally! Get the fuck up and train now!” Raiden was standing in front of him smoking a blunt and wearing a pimp coat, his hat replaced with a bandanna. “And yo stupid asses better have my rent by the first...bitch.” He was instantly gone in a puff of green smoke, a small fire had been started by his lightning feet of fury. Liu Kang had to act fast, he threw Kitana's cat at the fire and it took out a cat sized fire extinguisher out of its suitcase and sprayed coolant, putting out the fire. While flying through the air it had also pissed for the length of the throw, not of fear but vengeance. “Now I leave you with my mighty piss stain to remind you of the day you crossed me, Sudakai Hiroki!” The cat struggled his paw to flip the bird to the human and left, making sure to slam the door. “But your name was Fluffles.” Liu Kangs eyes welled up with tears as he chopped an onion furiously with care. The door burst open, and Sudakai looked like a fire dragon as he said “That was never my name, you are so stupid man really, no one likes you. You are cheap, you are always yelling some unintelligible shit and spamming, sorry bro but fuck you. I forgot my nip.” The cat had snatched his satchel of kitty cat mowie wowie and fled slamming the door. Liu Kang cried this time out of sadness as the cat had also made off with the rent...oh well...it wasn't the first time.

[surveys-at-your-service]

Survey #226

“i couldn't take my eyes off her, but that's not what i took off that night.”

So, how are you doing today? I'm mostly fine, I guess. I'm sooooo sleep-deprived from these damn night terrors, so it has me pretty moody. Then I'm bummed as all fuckhell that Sara and I can't be together on our anniversary. What is the last song that you had on repeat? I think it waaaas... "Idiosyncrasy" (it took me five million attempts to spell that right) by Korn. Are you a hedonist/masochist/in between? Neither. The best musical performance you’ve been to? I've only ever seen Alice Cooper, but it was WICKED. He did his signature decapitation illusion (how the fuck does that even work??), and the last song (it was a fucking amazing cover of "Another Brick In The Wall") had INCREDIBLE theatrics. I loved it. Who is your favorite drummer? *shrugs* Your favorite guitarist? Idk, really. Maybe Zakk Wylde. A vocalist with the best voice? Freddie Mercury's voice is so versatile and chill-inducing, Amy Lee is an obvious answer, Patrick Stump's voice is just so goddamn sexy, as is Brendon Urie's, as well as wide in vocal range. Do you have a band yourself? Maaaan, that'd be dope. But no. Do you write poetry or song lyrics? I used to write poems aaaaaall the time (y'know, the "I'm 14 and this is deep" kind), and I've actually really wanted to for a while now, but idk about what. Plus my word-weaving capability has drastically declined, so all I'd do is get mad. Your best memories: Meeting Sara, SARA'S FUCKING FACE WHEN SHE SAW ME IN HER BEDROOM ON HER LAST BIRTHDAY OH MY FUCKING GOD, a novel of things with Jason, seeing meerkats at the zoo for the first time, THE DAY GOD NOTICED ME THROUGH A GIF I WORKED WAY TOO HARD ON (I couldn't sleep for three days, and I wish I was kidding), uhhhh. A lot. Your worst memories: The night of the breakup, absolutely and entirely. Nothing compares. It was a slow, paralyzing trauma (don't get pissy about me using that word "as an exaggeration," it was diagnosed as such years ago) that entirely put me into an actual state of shock. I wish that night on absolutely nobody. No one. Funniest thing you've ever seen an animal do? Maaaaan, I could tell you a lot. Probably inarguably the funniest was Ginger (ex's beagle) WITHOUT FAIL losing her shit with jealousy or SOMETHING whenever she noticed Jason and I were doing anything that involved affection without her. That dog would LOSE IT with barking, tail wagging, and climbing all over him, and it was never not funny to see this fatass little dog turn into a living cockblock lmfao. OH YEAH then our late boxer Cali could be baited into howling if you did it sometimes. It was so, so cute. She'd always look so confused but do it anyway. I'm sure there're others; I've grown up with pets my whole life, but those are the only two that come to me now. What is on your mind? I wanna see Sara. Could you ever cheat on your significant other? I physically couldn't stand myself if I ever did. No. Ever been so disgraced that you had homicidal thoughts? Wow no. If so, whom did you wish to assassin? I mean I've talked about Ashley (not my sister) before, but they weren't seriously "homicidal." I wasn't going to actually do anything. If you wish to be famous, what would you want to be famous for? I don't wish it, but let's say I was. Some form of artist. ... Wait, I do want that. Errrmmm OH! A serious wildlife conservator. Do you think humanity is going downhill? Duh. What was the last thing you threw at someone? I have no clue. Do you ever want to be prom queen/king? I didn't care. Have you ever ran from the police? I'd prefer to stay out of jail. Are you afraid of clowns? No. Have you ever written on someone’s face in your yearbook? Ha ha yeeeaaah... When was the last time you made dinner? me?????? cook????????????? huh?????????????? Do you have any special plans coming up? I'm shooting my sister's gender reveal Sunday. :') Ash and her husband don't know the gender, so I am so fucking excited to see their reactions. Who do you want to be buried next to? Please don't bury me and just take up space. Cremate me and scatter the ashes somewhere, or do SOMETHING meaningful and creative. What is your favorite fish? Like... to eat? I haven't tried very much, but I liked striper forever and ever ago. If you mean visually, probably betta fish. Have you ever won a gold medal? Probably with kid stuff. Do you have any trophies? Also as a kid for A honor roll, as well as dance and sports overall. Do you work out? Oops no. When you introduce yourself, do you give hand shakes? It depends on who I'm talking to. Is there a limit to how many best friends you have? No? Do you have any hickeys on you? Bitch a girl can wish. Do you have the strength to say goodbye forever? Been there, finally done that. Will you talk to the person you like tonight? I talk to her every day throughout the day. Who did you last share a bed with? Sara. Who do you go to when you need to talk to someone? Sara or Mom. Have you ever been taken to the emergency room in an ambulance? No. What are you listening to right now? I'm not actually listening to anything, but "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac is BURIED into my head rn. What do you like better: hot chocolate or hot apple cider? I've never tried to latter actually, but I'd probably still prefer hot chocolate, anyway. Do you make wishes at 11:11? No; I don't believe in that stuff. I have a friend who posts JUST "11:11 <3" or something like that every night on FB, and while it shouldn't, it annoys the fuck out of me. No one cares. Ever been on a golf cart? Yeah. Do you get blizzards where you live? No, never to the point where "blizzard" fits. What’s a biblical truth that you struggle with? lmao When was the last time you did something rebellious? *shrugs* Do you rebel against God a lot? I can genuinely say I don't give a fuck if I do or don't. Do you consider yourself creative? Very. What’s an old hobby that you want to pick back up? Sigh, reading. Do you ever read books to a pet? No. That seems without real purpose... and this is coming from me, an animal worshiper, just about. Like, you know they genuinely have no clue what you're saying or doing, and I highly doubt they're gonna stay still and look at the pictures. Do you have any pets? Two dogs, a cat, a rat, and a snake. What was the theme of your childhood bedroom? It didn't have a set theme. Partially because I grew up with the same room as my little sister, and we had very different interests. What color was your nursery as a baby? I have zero clue. Did I even have a proper nursery??? What was the last surgery you had? Getting a cyst above my asscrack removed lmaoooo. What’s something you prefer to keep private? Sexual history. I am very, very shy talking about that kind of stuff. Who is someone you look up to? *sobs "fischfuck" at the top of my lungs* As a child, did you have people you admired? STEVE IRWIN WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY EMOTIONAL DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you good at prioritizing? Eek... I'm unsure, to be honest. Which holiday is your favorite to decorate for? fuckin' Halloween hoe. Which holiday or season has the best decorations in stores? Soooo Halloween decor=room decor for me tbh lol. Who’s the prettiest YouTuber you watch? She doesn't have her own active YT channel anymore, but Suzy Hanson (GameGrumps' Arin's wife) is a fucking goddess. Oh, and while I've never watched her channel, I've seen Hannah Hart on GMM quite a few times, and she's actually one of my first signals that I wasn't straight because I definitely felt attracted to how naturally beautiful she is. What’s the most shocking thing that’s occurred in your life lately? Finding out my grandma has terminal cancer. How’s the weather been at your part of the world in the past week? It's been fucking hot. Thursday was the hottest October day in NC history, peaking at 100. Disgoostiiiiiing. Have you given something up recently? (for ex., candy, red meat etc.) Uhhhh well, this is semi-recently, I guess: I entirely stopped going to Chick-fil-a in protest of higher-ranking business employees or whatever supporting/making donations to anti-LGBT cults, especially conversion "therapy." What’s the worst thing about autumn? "How fleeting it is. I never feel like I get properly immersed in the experience. I blink and the leaves are gone and Thanksgiving is here and Christmas is right around the corner." <<< Perfect description. What is something you enjoy doing, even if you’re not very good at it? Drawing portraits, maybe. Do you work hard for your money? I don't have a job, never have had a stable one. However, on the occasion I'm hired to take pictures, I. Try. Really. Hard. What’s a song that most people interpret entirely wrong? "Mama I'm Coming Home" by Ozzy Osbourne was first to come to mind; reasonably, people tend to think the song is about his mother, but it's rather about his wife. Calling your wife that is apparently some English petname. When’s the last time you had cake? Wow, idk, actually. I think my niece mighta had some for her birthday in June?

Uhhhhhhhhhh idk. Do you like woolly socks? If so, do you ever make your own? NO, especially when you put sneakers over them or something. They feel so constricted. Do you have a laptop or desktop computer? A laptop that needs to be replaced, gah. Or fixed. I have a pure black crack and blob stretching across the left side of my screen that is super distracting and obscuring, and the right side of the top half is cracked along the side; I have duct tape to help keep it closed.

Prince Poppycock is also my gay uncle that I would die for. What chore are you behind on? I need to dust my room good lort. Have you ever broken your phone screen? No, actually. Have you ever broke your computer screen? Well, refer to earlier question. I don't know if it's technically "broke," just damaged (it's not an actual scratch, btw; it's beyond the exterior screen). I need to take it somewhere to fix it ahhhhh. What department store do you shop at the most? Wal-Mart. Do you normally use the self-checkout or the regular checkout? Depends on how much we have.

Have you ever been kicked out of a store? No. OH SHIT NO WAIT, I THINK a friend and I may have wandered into Spencer's once when we were "too young." Or maybe we just got ID'd. Idk, idr. What was the stupidest mistake of your life? Turning a person into my sole source of "real" happiness, giving my entire soul to a flawed human being, being naive about love, all that jazz.

The Handmaid's Tale is now right behind it. What do you want for your birthday this year? My '19 birthday has already passed, but if you mean like, my next one, idk. Maybe a new phone considering mine is GODawful with so many problems. Alllllthough I'm entirely aware I'll be putting a tattoo first, so... it depends on what I have, ha ha. Do you like rock music? Yep. What is the most beautiful landscape you have ever seen? MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!!!! What do you usually take for headaches? Advil/Ibuprofen. Have you ever switched doctors because of mistreatment? Or moreso carelessness and immeasurable ignorance masked by over-confidence. Do you film or record your doctor’s appointments? ??????????????????????????????? Can you even do that?????????????????? Which accomplishment are you most proud of yourself for? So, this kinda depends. I'm most likely to say "recovery," but I honestly give almost all credit to my psychiatrist and therapists. So I don't usually see *me* as playing a big role in it. Idk. So other days I'll say way more confidently graduating in the top 10% of the graduating class as a senior. Do you feel like you’ve accomplished anything yet with your life? Well yeah. What is your favorite medication that you take, and why? The combination I take of Vraylar + Lamictal due to how they interact and being massively responsible for me being stable. What is your favorite vitamin, and why?

I never really like... showed just how much though. Looking back on when I was a kid, I took embarrassment poorly even then. Other girls thought I was weird for bringing a Psyduck plushy with me to school everyday, everyone in pre-k looked at me like "huh" when I brought my little Snorlax plush in for show-and-tell, I came to a point of only watching it when my sister was asleep, I was too scared to ask for the games, and- jfc okay I'm actually realizing I need to go back to therapy to talk about how deep my AvPD truly is rooted oops lmao. Do you eat chili when you get a hot dog, or do you like it plain? Chili is disgusting. Have you ever disowned anyone in your family? For what reasons? No. Is there anyone out there who has hurt you so much, you wish they’d die? No. Has anyone ever called you a sociopath before? No. How many times have you been drunk in your life?

Yeah, a few. When is the last time you sat around a campfire? I don't have a clue. Is there an important event coming up at your school? I think? It's some event all freshmen have to attend to all damn day and I'm not looking forward to it. It's for a good cause, but. It's gonna be a drag and I've had two incidents this school year of once collapsing and just last week almost fainting and vomiting just from the heat. Do you have a back-up career choice? What is it? Something with writing, I guess. Well, I ideally want to be a professional photographer but also a zoologist, but if photography goes absurdly well (this is incredibly unlikely, I know, but it's doable), I may not aim for a zoologist career, but get the necessary degree for it as back-up. I want an unquestionably stable back-up choice. My minor is Journalism, so like I mentioned up top, yeah, if things really go shitty, something in writing is an option. Would you ever get caught with a fake ID? No. Do you think religion justifies treating people unequally? I don't see the supposed "rationality" in this at all. No. Are men more attractive with longer or shorter hair? I guess it depends on the person, but I think I'm generally more attracted to men with longer hair. What color was the ink of the last pen you used? Black. Is there a name that you hear and cringe? I can't really say "cringe," but without fail, it's obvious who and what I think of the moment I hear the name "Jason," and it always causes this dull pain in my chest. What color are your dad’s eyes? They're dark brown. When you were a kid, was there a boy/girl that you said you were going to marry? No. Is your favourite TV show very popular? That '70s Show is, and Fullmetal Alchemist is among anime fans, at least. I don't think too many people know about Meerkat Manor, but I know it was and possibly still is Animal Planet's highest-grossing series, so it sure was big for viewers of that channel. What are you absolutely determined to do? Become at least a semi-successful photographer, make a great life with Sara, support my mom one day like she always has me, mostly overcome anxiety, photograph and touch a habituated meerkat of the KMP... a handful of things. Where would you rather be from? Somewhere in the U.S. that's not a homophobic, racist, gun-fucking, Bible-thumping cesspit of closed-minded shits. I love NC. How often do you play sports? Never. What website do you visit most often? YouTube. What do you wish you knew more about? Politics. What are some things you’ve had to unlearn? I stopped this as a young teenager, but I know I was one of those kids who used "retarded" as a substitute for "stupid." I absolutely hate that shit. I also had to unlearn uhhhh... man, I know there's a lot, I'm just blanking right now. What TV channel doesn’t exist but really should? *shrug* Where is the most interesting place you’ve been? Interesting to me personally, Chicago. Cities that massive are foreign to me. What fad or trend do you hope comes back? Scene fashion was art, don't @ me. What’s the best way to start the day? SLEEPY CUDDLES W/ YOUR S/O. What kind of art do you enjoy most? Man, idk. I love art so much. What have you only recently formed an opinion about? That's a good question. What is the most heartwarming thing you’ve ever seen? Literally today/yesterday when I watched the secret stream Mark did of gathering viewers to anonymously destroy random but small Twitch streamers' charity goals & he was too motivated and inspiring & everyone was so fucking confused but thankful and it was literally the most inarguably Chaotic Good thing I have ever borne witness to. For three hours I couldn't stop fucking smiling. What’s something you like to do the old-fashioned way? Hell if I know. Who has impressed you most with what they’ve accomplished? lol guess How do you relax after a hard day of work? I don't work. What TV show or movie do you refuse to watch? TV show? 13 Reasons Why is a hell no. The Human Centipede I wouldn't watch over my dead fucking body. Where would you spend all your time if you could? All my time? Idk. What’s the best way a person can spend their time? Improving the world. What’s the most interesting piece of art you’ve seen? I couldn't even try to answer that question. What’s worth spending more on to get the best? I dunno, probably a lot. Maybe food? Ensure it's safe, at least. What is the luckiest thing that has happened to you? Not flipping over in the wreck we got in when I was a kid, probably. All factors of it considered, we were told flipping would have been far more likely than my mom managing to keep us on four wheels. What are some small things that make your day better? Multiple things. Sara feeling positive, I'm fucking awful so having a yummy soda gives me a measly drop of Serotonin, I love seeing Venus come out of her rock to wander around, finding a new song to become utterly addicted to is great, cool weather outside... things like that. I'm sure there's more. What one thing do you really want but can’t afford? REALLY want? A trip to South Africa. What are you interested in that most people haven’t heard of? Uhhh idk. Otep, I suppose. As a band, anyway. She's actually the QUEEN of bigoted bitches. Why did you decide to do the work you are doing now? N/A What’s something you’ve been meaning to try but just haven’t gotten around to? Oh, idk. If all jobs had the same pay and hours, what job would you like to have? Still a photographer. Have you ever saved someone’s life? No. What’s the hardest lesson you’ve learned? People can tell you they'll always be there and still leave in the blink of an eye. What’s something you are self-conscious about? Unconventional interests/hobbies and my body. Have you ever given to any charities? Yes. What was the best compliment you’ve received? Idk. What’s the most immature thing that you do? Not gonna lie, I can act bratty if I don't get something I SERIOUSLY want. Which of your scars has the best story behind it? None, really. What have you created that you are most proud of? A novel of very developed and deep RP characters over the years. What do you regret not doing or starting when you were younger? Learning German. As you get older, what are you becoming more and more afraid of? Mom dying. Being independent. In what situation or place would you feel the most out of place in? Most out of place? Would, like not one I've actually experienced? Uhhh idk. An orgy lmao.

Closing the Distance Ayapin fanfic PART 12

There are no words to describe how sorry I am. I left this fanfic unfinished for too long. We need closure and they need to be happy. I hope Part 13 or 14 will be a final part. I am planning to use bits from some of my different drabbles and one shots to help with the plot.

Thank you to all of you who were still waiting and I am sorry if you are disappointed with the outcome. This part includes a poem by Beki Coxon, link at the end.

 Graduation was coming closer. Decisions needed to be made. Everyone was stressed about their future and if their choices were the right ones. Ayane has spoken with Sawako and Chizu about theirs and realised they will all end up in different places. It has caused more than one crying party but they also came up with ideas to stay in touch and make sure to meet up regularly even if it means seeing each other only every 2-3 months.

- Waaaa…. . – Sawako was crying again.

- All of us have different dreams. You will still have Chizu. You both will have each others.

- Are you sure you will be able to stay by yourself? – Chizu asked. – Is your mum still doubtful?

Ayane stayed silent for a moment. Her mother wanted her to be committed and give her best, not regretting her decision or giving up half way.

- No, she is not. She is supportive in her own way. – Ayane was hoping her mum would not end up disappointed in the end.

Ayane decided to take an entrance test for a bigger University in Tokyo and recommendations to be send to the smaller ones. She wouldn’t be able to attend all exams no matter how hard she tried. One thing she knew for sure: one way or another she will end up studying in Tokyo. Her mum was already looking into small apartments and dorms to find something convenient and also cheap to live in there.

Now that she was thinking about it she started to wonder what exactly she was trying to accomplish when she decided to confess to Pin. Even back then she was fixed on leaving the town soon after graduating so what she was expecting to happen with them? Back then she was drowning in her feeling to him. It felt like she would suffocate if she doesn’t say something but she wasn’t really thinking about the future, she was focused on the present and on how intense her feelings were. Previously when she agreed to date someone she could never envision a future with them. It was easy and fun at that moment but she never made long-term plans with them. It was also something her mum was worried about, that she wasn’t able to commit fully.  As painful as it is to admit at the back of her mind she always knew that Pin would reject her. He also knew she was planning to study away. Risking his career for less than few months of a relationship – was it really what she was expecting of him? One thought was still stuck in her head: will he miss her? Will he miss her when she is no longer here?

Her eyes fell on her desk, there were still assignments to complete. Some teachers were giving them a lot of free time considering the end of school was near but some didn’t care and were planning to torture them till the very last day.  The one she was working on at the moment was to find or write a poem. All the poems that were speaking to her were about sad love and were breaking her heart every time she read them. She has also tried to write her own and it went even worse because all she could think of was writing about Pin and there was no way should be able to share it with the class. Her mind wondered again and in utter frustration she decided to open the poems book on a random page and take that as her homework. She did it with her eyes closed praying for a good result but once she opened her eyes and saw it she knew that once again luck was not on her side. Her luck took her to the poem she has reread so many times that it was engraved in her heart.

-------

It was so difficult for Pin to see her in the classroom. Ayane seems to have changed her attitude from ignoring him to being indifferent. At least now they would make an eye contact once in awhile but no interaction was going between them outside of the classroom.

He tried to ignore the feeling growing inside his chest. He was longing to have her close. He missed her. Soon he wouldn’t be able to see her at all. Not in the classroom, not in the hallways, during PE or even in town. She will be nowhere for him to see. It was taking a toll on his heart. And he also became curious – she said she was trying to stop loving him, did she manage to do that already? Does she no longer love him? Could she forget her feelings just like that? He wanted to know if it was that easy and if it will happen to his feelings as well.

Few more days have passed and he was back in the classroom talking to the class. Ayane was sitting at her usual place looking unbothered.

-        I hope everyone is ready for the graduation. The fact that you feel ready to leave this school and you can see the end of your misery – he continued smirking at the students. – it doesn’t mean there will be no homework. – student whined and booed. He continued with odds bits he was asked to pass on and complete from different teachers. – The literature teacher is off sick but she has asked you to find some poems to share with everyone and to discuss. I am sure some of you have tried to write your own as well.  Has everyone brought one? - students who forgot just lowered their heads. – Please bring them forward and I will pick few to read out.

Pin glanced at Ayane and he saw her tense up and hesitate to hand out her paper to pass forward. He mixed up the papers that were given to him and decided to pick 3 randomly. The first was a well-known children’s rhyme which was really cute and made everyone laugh. Second was obviously a self written one. Everyone was impressed with the rhymes and thoughts behind it.

- We have 3 minutes left. Let me read one more. – Pin exclaimed when discussion about the second poem was running over.

He pulled another paper and read out loudly the title: My Gorgeous Handsome Soldier. Few students giggled at the title, he smiled as well but then he saw Ayane’s name on it. She picked this poem.

He started reading trying to keep his voice even:  

Today my heart is aching

For a man that's far away

I would give anything to hold him (few students giggled again but were quickly hushed by the rest of the class)

And any ransom I would pay

I find my mind just wanders

To a sandy barren hell

And pray that my loving thoughts

Find my soldier safe and well (the class was completely silent at that point)

Each night before I go to bed

I look up to the skies

And the moon brings me comfort

As my tears brim in my eyes

Despite the miles between us

We still share the stars and sun

So I gaze upon them often

It helps me know we are still one

So as I lie down on my pillow

I close my eyes and think of you (Pin stuttered)

Not only in my waking moments

But you are in all my dreams too (his voice started breaking up)

My gorgeous handsome soldier

I love you with all my heart

And the hardest thing I've ever done

Is have to accept we had to part

But our love is so much stronger

Than any force I've ever known

In the short time we've been together

It's amazing how much it's grown

So until we are reunited

Please stay safe and strong

My heart is yours forever

With you is where it belongs

Think about me often

My gorgeous handsome man

To wait for you forever

Is my battle plan

 And the bell her rung before anyone could comment on the poem or the fact that Pin’s voice cracked while reading it. Most of the students were excited the school day was over and were happily leaving the classroom. People said their goodbyes and rushed outside. Chizu and Sawako left with their boyfriends but Ayane was still sitting at her desk. There was no movement from her or from Pin.

- I think we need to talk. - it was Pin who said it.

- I think we do. – Ayane answered her eyes locked with his.

  I will post the fanfic on ao3 once it is completed.

[scarletrebel]

so i really really really want to examine the invitations of the nine every week in correspondence with the tarot card that they’re named for 

for several reasons: 1, im a goddamn nerd who 2, loves tarot cards and 3, i fucking looked up the high priestess card before we did the invitation today and i guessed it was going to be about mara and spoiler alert IT WAS IT WAAAAS

so i’m gonna try and get caught up before next friday and post my thoughts each week because each one has been scarily accurate to whatever has been going on in the invitation and im so here for it 

anyway, its not gonna be done for a few days so i wanted to share my thoughts from the first invitation, ive also tried to explain a bit about each card for those not versed in tarot but ive only been using the cards for a year so a lot of my info comes from biddytarot which is a resource i use a lot i’d recommend it

and i’ll be honest a lot of the explanations are going to be the whole ‘can i copy your homework’ ‘yeah but make it look a little bit different’ bc im worried about getting that part wrong aha 

anyway, enjoy some ramblings under the cut!

Week 1: The World // W E A S K T O S E E Y O U

The World is the last card in the Major Arcana, numbered 21. The card depicts a naked woman, covered by a cloth, looking behind her to the past while her body moves to the future. The wreath around her depicts a cycle ending and beginning almost immediately. There are other motifs on the card that call to other cards (The Magician and the Wheel of Fortune) and represent harmony and balance.

Upright, The World represents completion and accomplishment, encouraging you to appreciate your successes and bask in the joy of them. This card asks you to celebrate before jumping into the next thing, to look back and reflect on all that you have done to get to this final point.

Furthermore, reflection is a key point to this card. If you haven't reached that peak yet, this card invites you to reflect on past experiences and lessons you have learned along the way in order to aid you. This reflection can be helpful in bringing the cycle to its end so that you can start anew.

It also in a more literal sense can relate to world travel, especially on a large scale, and gaining an appreciation for people and cultures around the world.

Reversed, The World represents seeking personal closure, and/or coming across delays in something. This card encourages you to embrace something you probably already know; it’s time to move on. To stop looking into the past and take that step into the future. But, it’s not going to be that easy, and you need to find closure in order to take that step.

The World reversed also tells you that you’re trying really hard to finish a project or make it to the next goal, but you’re not taking the necessary steps to get there. In particular, you’re trying to use short cuts and it’s not working out.

There’s also a warning here, one that asks you if you’re slacking off towards the end of a goal or a project, or even alerts you that that’s what is happening.

Finally, The World reversed can also represent a delay in a project, urging you to find a different way to get to the finish line.

The cutscene we see in this invitation is Drifter being visited by someone who represents a part of his past: a Shadow of Yor. Then immediately afterwards he is gifted the Haul by the Nine, starting a brand new cycle for him to introduce it to the Guardians along with Prime.

“Gambit is a chance at salvation,” he says to the Shadow; a chance at a new cycle, perhaps? Further connotations of leaving the past and embracing the future. If we’re looking at the reverse meanings, even finding closure in such a meeting?

In particular, the word reflection really stands out to me with this card, as the Nine ask us to experience a vision, to reflect on something from the past. The Emissary also talks of two other people who, in the past, have shown themselves to be worthy to the Nine.

Also, The Emissary refers to Drifter as ‘Dredgen’ - ignoring his correction that ‘it’s Drifter, now’. You could argue she’s looking to the past, whilst having to move forward with what the Nine want.

Drifter is also well traveled, we can guess as much given who he is and also the advice he gives us in the allegiance quest; “Trade your jumpship for a long-range hauler and see the universe while you can.”

“I want the best for you, kid. And you won’t find it in this system.” Again, leaving one cycle for something new - encouraging us not to end up like the reversed version of this card; looking for short cuts in our endeavors, or becoming stagnant. He’s encouraging us to seek a different way to fight the Darkness, as the reverse version does.
