[sommer-girl]

You're not special, you're evil You don't get to tell me to calm down You make me feel like an equal But I'm better than you And you should know that by now

[mistfallengw2]

A bit shocked at that post being so well received since I threw the sketches together in a bit of a ???, but also happy people are liking it. My niche worldbuilding/design interests feel validated :'3

⌗﹒THEIR VOICE LINES ABOUT YOU ౨ৎ˚₊‧ GN!

Aether

❝Since the beginning of Mondstadt they've been with me. They actually turned out to be my second guide! Which makes Paimon even more of an emergency food❞

❝Whaa-Paimon will pretend Paimon didn't hear that!❞

❝No really, I'm glad I found them...or rather they found me. It really wasn't much of a surprise when I-oh-I'm already talking too much again.❞

❝Traveler can go shy when he talks about his lover, hehe. STOP PULLING ME AWAY-H-HEY-!❞

Albedo

❝Oh? I see, you already heard about Y/n. Well, its not a big of a surprise, they're well known here in Mondstadt. Don't worry, if you ever encounter them, dont be shy to talk to them. They have actually been a great help for my researches and experiments. ❞

Al-Haitham

❝ Y/N? Yes, what about them? Yes, we're in a relationship, and? No, I'm not mad, why? I'm asking to much questions? Could ask you that, you seem awfully interested in my partner. Passive aggressive? Pff, now you're just pretending things. ❞

Ayato

❝ You'd like to know more about Y/n? What makes you think I have answers? Oh? I see, Ayaka has told you about it, well...Me and Y/n have been in a relationship for quite a while now. They're a very good support, doesn't matter what path i take or decisions I make, they always have my back. Without them I wouldn't be half the man I am right now. Satisfied with this answer? ❞

Baizhu

❝ The person that always helps out here is not some assistant. Don't worry, I'm sure they're not insulted. Who else are they then? Oh, my lover. Whats with that surprised look on your face? Didn't think I'd be taken? To be frank...I'm quite surprised too that I got this lucky.❞

Bennett

❝ Y/n? My lucky charm? They're awesome! A loyal member in Benny's adventure team...the only one though...They go on every adventure with me! Saved my life multiple times! Bring me good furtune! And are my partner! Wow, I really lucked out for real this time.❞

Capitano

❝ I'd like to keep my private life as private as possible...but for you I make an exception, just this once. Yes, Y/n is my life partner, my lover if you'd like to put it that way. I hold them very dear and would protect them with my life if i have to. So, if I ever sense any bad intentions coming from you, I will crush you with everything I've got.❞

Childe

❝ They spend last winter with me and my family. So, to show them around and make them feel more comfortable in Snezhnaya we had a little snowball fight. Y/n got hit a dozen times in the face by Teucer. They lost, obviously. But the best part was, when we went home, the slipped right before the door and fell ass first to the ground...but instead of being upset or annoyed...they laughed. I knew they we're the one right then and there.❞

Chongyun

❝ Oh you know Y/n? Well, I do too. You knew? Xingqiu huh?...Can't seem to keep quite sometimes...Yes, I am dating them. Saying this feels foreign...I still can't believe they chose me of all people. But I'm not too insecure about it, after all, they chose me of all people.❞

Cyno

❝ Y/n is one of the few people who actually laugh at my jokes. I don’t know if its out of pity or if i truly make them laugh, but either way i don't care. As long as i see a smile on their face I'm at ease. Huh? What do you mean i sound lovesick?❞

Dainsleif

❝ There are things that I'd rather keep private and save, including my relationship with Y/n. So I have to apo-...no, i trust you but-...You're right. Y/n and I have been in a relationship for quite a long time now. They mean a lot to me, thats why I want to keep any information about them as private as I can.❞

Diluc

❝ Yes, I am in a relationship with Y/n. I guess the topic makes his rounds, huh? We announced our relationship just yesterday, but have been serious for a long time now. I am...not a public as you know. And i didn't wanted any unwanted or negative attention on both of us but i know i can trust you. Right?❞

Dottore

❝ Did i ever had a lover? What an inappropriate question of you~ Of course i had lovers, but none could compare to my favorite. Have you heard of Y/n? Oh yes, they are quite popular aren't they~? Well, they're mine, all mine. So it would be better for you if you keep your hands off them. ❞

Freminet

❝ Are they my friend? Uhm...no...they're a bit more than that. Uhm, yeah they're my partner. We've been together for a while now...Am i happy? Of course i am...I'm just a bit embarrassed thats all. No one has really asked me about our relationship yet except for Lyney, Lynette and father.❞

Gorou

❝ You want to know about Y/n? Sure, what do you wanna know? Yes, they're my partner, in fact, we live together! They're a really caring, they make breakfast every morning, tend any injuries i have and sometimes even run me a bath...that was too intimate.❞

Heizou

❝ Y/n? What do you know about them? Nothing yet but you wanna know more? Why? Interested? Why am I asking all these questions? I'm a detective, and you're interested in my lover-oops-now i ran my mouth.❞

Itto

❝ You mean the oni one for me?! The true love of my life!? THEY'RE AWESOME. I'm so incredibly lucky to have them. AND they're so incredibly lucky to have the awesome one and oni Arataki Itto as their boyfriend!❞

Kazuha

❝ They are currently waiting for my arrival...i cannot wait to have them in my arms again. I miss them every day...What's that book? Oh, it's just for all the poems i write for them while being away. One poem for each day. Once I'm back, i read them to them.❞

Kaeya

❝ Oh you mean my little snowflake? Yes, i know them quite well, i can assure you that one. Wasn't always like that though, took is a while to actually get closer. But i won't complain either way, I'm happy that we finally found each other...damn, look at all the sappy things I'm saying, they've done this to me.❞

Kaveh

❝ I'm still planning our house, i just cannot make it perfect! Ugh, it's really getting on my nerves. I NEED this perfect for them, I need to make this the house of their dreams. But it's taking way to long. Since when am i planning? About 3 years. And since when are we dating? Also about 3 years...oh...❞

Kinich

❝ When they first traveled to Natlan they didn't met me immediately. I've only got to know them through Mualani and Kachina. They once expressed their hatred towards saurian hunters, went off yapping for a good hour too. You should've seen the look on their face once i told them i was one of them. They're still embarrassed to this day, even more after i explained what i really do. One of the many memories that truly make me happy.❞

Lyney

❝ They're aware that true magic doesn't exist. That all my shows are just an act. That somewhere is a trick hidden, so simple its ridiculous. And yet, they're still amazed, still getting big eyed when I'm on stage preforming. Even after countless shows that are the same, they're clapping along like it was the first....I couldn't not have asked for a better support and love in my life then them.❞

Mika

❝ I still don't know how i managed to confess, maybe it's because i can't really remember it anyway. It's a memory I'd like to forget entirely, mostly because i was so embarrassed afterwards. But I never want to forget what they said afterwards. Everytime i hear those 4 words from them I get butterflies.❞

Neuvillette

❝ Y/n and I are in a serious relationship since 5 years and 4 months. We have been living together since 3 years and 1 month. I do consider our relationship deep and intimate. I trust them deeply and never once did I think about it otherwise. I truly believe that our relationship will hold on for eternity. Is this enough information or should I tell you more?❞

Pantalone

❝ Ah, my spoiled little brat? Joking, joking...well, only half. I do spoil them quite a lot, but i wouldn't consider them a brat...most of the time. Just last week I bought them this new coat, winter in Snezhnaya are the hardest in all Teyvat. Oh, and new gloves, a scarf an-no, why would i brag with my money, it's not like i have enough to buy at least million of coats.❞

Pierro

❝ The only thing you need to know is that they are with me and well taken care off. Should you not remember the fact that any hate or violence towards them is strictly forbidden, i will gladly remind you. ❞

Razor

❝ Y/n helped Razor a lot. Razor appreciates it, the help. Razor also loves Y/n. That's what Y/n always tells Razor every day. So Razor tells Y/n every day too.❞

Scaramouche

❝ Who? My lover? Them? No, I would never. No, I'm not keeping anything private?! Neither am I ashamed of anything...quite the opposite, huh? No, said nothing. Screw off now, i need to be somewhere. Where? None of your damn business...So what if its a date?!❞

Thoma

❝ Mhm, you're quite right, Y/n and I arw together. Lucked out, huh? I'm currently teaching them how to cook some dishes, been going well...for the most part. No, they have a hand for it but both of us always seem to lose any focus once we're 30 minutes into it.❞

Tighnari

❝ You should've heard their begging, "Oh Tighnari please, i can keep my own garden!" Yeah, keeping it, but not take care of it. Because who takes care of it? Correct, me. It's easy work, so it's not too troublesome. But what is troublesome is how they don't take care of it. *sigh* maybe i am a bit to harsh on them, they are a bit stressed lately anyway. They deserve to take a rest and calm down from everything. So i gladly take care of the garden, for as long as they need me to.❞

Venti

❝ Our first meeting was quite the embarrassing one, almost feel quite shy telling it....Ok! Ok! I'll tell you!....I fell into their lap...No, i wasn't drunk! Someone else was, pushed me by accident and i stumbled backwards right onto their lap in angels share. And to top it off i took their plate and drink with me. Lucky for me, they weren't mad at all. Still...it's so embarrassing!❞

Wriothesley

❝ Took them quite a while to adjust to Meropide. Understandable though, it's a change from the surface. But once they grew comfortable, it's almost like they don't want to leave. They quickly befriended almost everyone, especially Sigewinne. They grew quite popular here in the matter of just a few weeks. Good for me i got them first before anyone else could.❞

Xiao

❝ Hm? Oh, them? Yes, we're close. Why do you ask? Just curious? Ugh, don't look at me like that. What do you wanna hear? How much i love them? You can wait till the day Teyvat will shatter entirely, I won't say it to you, only to them.❞

Xingqiu

❝ Our love story is picture perfect. A written love story by the finest ink. Full of clichés. We reached for the same book, and our hands touched. Then and there, i was mesmerized...until they snatched the book first.❞

Zhongli

❝ Our love story has been holding on since 3717 years, and it will hold on for many years more. What makes me so sure it will? We love each other like it was the very first day. Never once did we lie to one another, were apart from each other or lost our trust. I do have a contract anyway if anything should happen.❞

Jinguji Ren's Birthday (Year 1) Voicelines Translation.

-You can look at it again on the Event Log, Mini-Event section (for the other boys messages to him) and Talk section (for a one-on-one conversation with you and him) in Idol Page.

-Also the translations might not be fully accurate since I'm not that fluent on jp/en, so if i ever made a mistake do correct me🙏

<You (Player)> Ren: Thank you, Lady. I feel like I'm going crazy from all of the overwhelming love I'm getting from you. Ren: In addition to feeling giddy with happiness, a greedy thought also comes to mind. Like how I don't want to give you to anyone, for example.

<Otoya> Otoya: Happy Birthday! Ren is so mature that I tend to rely on you for help. You look cool too, I'm so jealous~ Ren: Thank you. …You give me too much praise. I'm sure there are many aspects only you can have, Ikki.

<Masato> Masato: I will offer you my sincere blessing at least on your birthday. Happy Birthday, Jinguji. I hope you have a wonderful day. Ren: That's quite unexpected. Are you plotting something? …Oh well, let me say thank you. In between our unfortunate but inseparable relationship.

<Natsuki> Natsuki: Happy Birthday. We're both an Onii-san among everyone. Let's do our best together! Ren: You're right, I'm sure I could become a good "Onii-san" with Shinomi. How about we hold a meeting between the two of us right now?

<Tokiya> Tokiya: Happy Birthday, Ren. I'm always grateful of your nonchalant attention. Ren: Thank you. I also like the easy-going relationship I have with Icchi. Let's go out together again.

<Syo> Syo: Happy Birthday! You always look so picturesque huh, Ren~ I'll be using you as a reference again. Ren: Sure, if you're fine with me. How about we go shopping? I'd like you to pick out some clothes for me too.

<Cecil> Cecil: Happy Birthday, Ren! Ren is always so kind. You're a wonderful person I look up to. Ren: You're praising me too much. But, thanks. It must be because of Cesshi's honesty that I'm like that.

<Reiji> Reiji: Happy Birthday, Ren-Ren☆ Rei-chan will play with you to celebrate~♪ How about we go surfing! Ren: I'm no match for you. You make me want to go right away if you invite me like that. Thank you, let's set up a date.

<Ranmaru> Ranmaru: Happy Birthday. You might be cheeky, but you always do everything that needs to be done. I think that's one of your good strengths. Ren: Thank you, Ran-chan. Despite what you say, your kindness haven't changed at all since the old days.

<Ai> Ai: Happy Birthday, Ren. Not only in real life, but I will also celebrate it once again in the game. Wait for it. Ren: I'm flattered. I love playing game with Aimi too. I can't wait until I log in to the game.

<Camus> Camus: Happy Birthday. I shall continue to make use of you as an outstanding chauffeur from now on. You should feel honored. Ren: Hehe, that means you enjoy going out with me, right? Sure, I'll accompany you anywhere you want.

<Eiichi> Eiichi: Happy Birthday. I think your beautiful manners is one of your strong points that I should learn more from. Ren: Thank you. Perhaps, it's because you're a leader, but you always pay close attention to things in details, huh.

<Kira> Kira: Happy Birthday… The way you look during work… and how you would sometimes show your true self. Either of them… have the power to charm people. Ren: I'm flattered to hear your earnest praise. Likewise, I think you have a good contrast in your personality as well.

<Nagi> Nagi: You're always playing a sexy role, how about you learn to be cute once in a while? Since it's your birthday, Nagi will teach you! Ren: Learning how to be cute, huh. It seems quite interesting. Thank you. Could I ask you for help right away?

<Eiji> Eiji: Happy Birthday. If you don't mind, I could tell you about my recommended spicy food restaurants. Ren: Thank you. That's a very interesting topic. Since you like cooking, I suppose that means you know a lot about it?

<Van> Van: Happy Birthday! You like card games, right? It would be fun to try it with 18 of us! Ren: That's an interesting idea! I'll have to check out what we can do with a big number of people. …Oh, I won't hand over the victory to you.

<Yamato> Yamato: Happy Birthday! You have such a strong core. Are darts good for building muscles? Ren: Thank you. Although it mainly uses one arm, it's also some sort of whole workout, so maybe it does.

<Shion> Shion: Happy Birthday. I could feel your deep love for everyone… from the way you carried yourself on stage. It was magnificent… Ren: Thank you. It makes me really happy to hear that from someone who makes his own atmosphere with his unique worldview.

A battle to see if I can actually get to the book at this point, but man... I do love to dive into the houses! y'know how it is. Back on the topic of the fifth house!

Alright, so we sure did look into that heart thing..

.. a while ago, but, always be with the knowledge that no matter how long I break for, the analysis gears go marching on. Now, if I could finish these analyses before ATN... regardless! We're gonna SOLVE Koniortos court, and then make our way to the sixth ! (hopefully, within this one day, but who knows how the wind blows.)

My good buddy, a google search ending in "meaning" garnered me

raised dust, flying dust

as a meaning for "Koniortos" and that it's deemed this within the bible so okay, boom, step one of finding what that means is done. The bigger questions is HOW it means. (<- pretend I made sense here)

So, where's dust used IN the bible?

Well, again, my friend "biblestudytools.com" comes in clutch, and we can find some results for usage there.

Dr. Miall Edwards leaves me with a handful of leads, which in turn I leave for you, my readers, to enjoy at your leisure!

Now, a couple things really stick out to me here! first off, "(Genesis 3:19 - Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return)" sets some things off for me. Edwards says that this is used figuratively for the grave, or mortality, which really fits here in my opinion. I mean, we know they're specifically speakers to the soul, to that dust! Unlike many of the other necromantic specialties, which deal with the matter, the fifth deals mainly with that mind (the sixth house would be offended if they weren't so busy carbon-dating things) Also, probably not very vital, but we do see a Paul reference! Casting dust in the air to express their wrath against him, which. I feel like I am stretching a little, but I could see something about going against the natural order of lyctorhood resulting in some sort of rage against Paul, primarily from Jod? I mean I assume he would be a little pissed off at any tainting of his perfect lyctorhood, seeing how he talks about any other half-baked or imperfect lyctor (Anastasia deserved better!!!) Now, the first half of this drafted post has been sitting in waiting for...... a really long time. and I had HOPED to keep the 5th house analysis to just 2 posts but we're looking like we might need a third to get to their names! But, hopefully absence makes the heart (<- hehe) grow fonder, and we will all appreciate the return of my elaborate TLT meta posts. If only!

+*:ꔫ:*﹤Fluffbruary Day 19: Long distance w/Sero Hanta﹥*:ꔫ:*+ﾟ

Word count: 844, gender-neutral reader

Valentines had rolled around once more! The yearly celebration for couples and loved ones to enjoy each other's presence and appreciate one another. Unfortunately, this year you couldn't make it. Living away from Hanta was a struggle when it came to planning. Making sure you both goth each other's gifts, setting up a time to call and trying to enjoy it to the best of your abilities. 

Hanta was beaming when you had picked up the call around the time you two had planned on, seeing your face expand on his monitor.  You took the first couple minutes to catch up with one another about your classes, hero work and such.  "I really wish I could be there instead of on a screen right now..." he said, leaning back a bit in his chair. A low hum leaves your lips, “I know babe, but we're gonna meet up soon you know? Just two more weeks” 

Hanta nodded happily, letting out a cheerful sigh "I know... And trust me, I'm looking forward to it. I've been counting down the days for a while now!” he then looked back at the screen, a warm and hopeful look in his eyes "I can't wait to see you again... And to hug the hell outta you" 

“haha I bet you will, but so will I; you won't even see it coming” you hold your head in your hands, eyes trained on the screen. 

"Oh really now?" he teased, raising a brow at the screen "And why wouldn't I see it coming? You have something up your sleeve that I don't know about?" he asked, smiling and tilting his head to the side as he leaned closer to the camera 

“Yup, I'm gonna be extra sneaky this time,” your laughs reach through the speakers in your computers before speaking up “Did you get the gifts I sent?” Hanta's eyes lit up as he heard you mention them "I did! I got them already" He said, a bright smile appearing on his face "You didn't have to go all out for me, really babe!" He added, trying to hide the fact that he was internally gushing over the gifts. 

“Aw well I wanted to! I was gonna give you the others when we met up, but I just couldn't wait” 

His cheeks started to flush as he spoke "You're too cute, you know that? You really didn't have to spoil me this much, but I'm glad you did" he rubbed the back of his neck 

“Of course, I did and thank you for your gifts as well. They're very cute hehe” you hold up the small cat plush in your hands, a small heart on the collar of it. 

Hanta's smile only got wider at that, proud of the gifts he had picked out for you "I'm glad you like them! I spent a long while trying to figure out what to get you" he admitted, letting out a sheepish chuckle. 

“Really? Well, I appreciate the thought, baby. Oh! Did you buy the cake?” 

He nodded, sitting up straighter in his chair "I did! I've got it right here!" he said, before reaching off-screen to grab something, pulling back to show you a small cake on a plate, one of your favorites.  You open the box that held your slice, showing him as well. You had gotten his favorite type, something that helped you feel like you two were closer than you were. 

His eyes lit up even more as he saw the cake, a wide smile on his face "Wow, it looks great! And it's even my favorite kind too!" he said, leaning closer to the screen to get a better look. 

“Mhm, it reminded me of you” you set it down on your desk, grabbing a candle to light on top of it. 

"You're too sweet.." Hanta said, his heart rate was picking up a little at the notion. He chuckled absentmindedly as he watches you light it. "God, I'm so gone for you. You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to seeing you in person” A small chuckle leaves your lips, cheeks tinting from the comment, diverting the topic for your heart's sake. “Save the gushing for later, I've been eyeing this cake all day!” Hanta laughs with you, nodding at that and jokingly rolling his eyes "Fine fine, you can have your cake first, impatient much?" 

“For cake, i always am” Hanta nodded in agreement as he lit his candle as well "That's fair. I mean, I can't blame you, cake is pretty great" he said, his smile a little brighter as the flame from his candle danced in his eyes. 

“Ready?” you looked to his cake through the screen 

He nodded excitedly, "Ready! 3... 2... 1... Blow!" he said, the anticipation in his eyes obvious as the seconds slowly ticked down. You hastily blew out your candle, wafting the smoke away, “Another valentines down!” Hanta blew out his candle as well, clapping and cheering in celebration.  

"And another Valentine's Day with you, sweetheart"

"While having a drink with the members, I have something in my mind. Is it okay if I say it?"

"I mustered up my courage and say this cautiously"

"This actually could be a sensitive topic but next year I would be apart/away from you guys for a while, right? Hehe"

"Before that time comes, all of my schedules and my plans are really precious and I'm happy. The time where I'm together with the members, and the times I'm spending with you guys"

"I'm really happy for the time that we get to spend together, and as much as it's precious, I think about it even more and more and more since this SMTOWN concert. +SuJu Hyungs and TVXQ Hyungs also said that it's like their youngest brother is already this big. As I saw them said that, I thought about a lot of things"

"To me, SM & NCT are things that I really want to protect and Czennies are a very precious existence."

"Even without me around, I believe our fans will protect us & I believe our members will protect us."

"Before I go, I will make the best memories for us"

"The most precious people that I love the most, I love you all very much"

"A fun chapter will begin, right. If we are happy"

"Let's be happy"

"And let's enjoy it hehe"

"Up until now and since the beginning and in the future too, I'm happy that we're together, and thank you"

"Lastly, thank you for being my fan and NCT's fan, and thank you for protecting us everyone~~~~ Let's enjoy in the future tooooooo Fact Check Fact Check !!!!!"

Birthday Event: Francis Drake

Translations may not always capture the exact nuances or tone of the original text. Expect grammatical errors and inaccuracies.

Not proofread. Rush translation.

(Drake's POV)

I took Mitsuki's hand and stepped onto the dance floor.

The band began to play the next song, and we moved to the rhythm.

(Is my little fawn distracted?)

Is she concerned about Napoleon and Comte's conversation?

Mitsuki: "Hey, Drake. About what you wanted for your birthday..."

Mitsuki: "Is it me, all dressed up nicely like this?"

(She figured it out that far, huh?)

Drake: "Hmm, you're kind of right."

Mitsuki: "Kind of? What do you—whoa!"

I lifted her delicate body and twirled her around.

Drake: "The answer will have to wait. For now, how about we enjoy this dance, little fawn?"

I was keeping the secret, but I wanted her to get lost in this moment.

(And smile for me.)

Mitsuki: "Yeah, you're right. Let's enjoy it to the fullest!"

She regained her composure and looked at me with sparkling eyes.

As I found myself drawn into those beautiful eyes—

Mitsuki: "Hehe. I'm so happy."

Drake: "----!"

(Mitsuki has smiled so many times today, but...)

Drake: "That smile right now is perfect!"

Her carefree, natural smile made me laugh from the bottom of my heart.

After finishing our dance, we returned to Napoleon and Comte.

Mitsuki: "Wait, Drake! I still haven't given you your birthday present!"

Drake: "I already got it while we were dancing."

Mitsuki: "What?!"

(That confused look on her face is so cute.)

Feeling satisfied, I decided to reveal everything.

Drake: "What I wanted was something only you could give me. And it’s something I wanted to earn for myself."

Mitsuki: "What is it?"

Drake: "Your brightest, most beautiful smile."

Drake: "I purposely kept it a secret and asked you to spend the whole day with me because I wanted no one else but me to make you happy and bring out your best smile."

Drake: "Well, the pudding was a bit of a flop, and you just seemed surprised by the dress."

I'm not used to making sweets, and parties aren't really my thing, but...

(If it meant Mitsuki would be even a little happy, I didn't care about being out of character.)

(If I were being honest, I'd prefer to just whisk her away.)

Mitsuki: "Honestly, it feels like you're always spoiling me."

Mitsuki: "But how did Napoleon and Comte know about this?"

Drake: "Oh, that's because..."

------------Flashback-----------

Drake: "So, that's how it went. I'll be taking care of Mitsuki."

After promising Mitsuki that we'd spend my birthday together, I went to inform the head of the mansion.

I found Comte leisurely reading a book in the garden.

Comte: "Yeah, Mitsuki mentioned it to me as well."

Comte: "But you've become quite the polite pirate, coming all the way here just to ask for permission."

Drake: "I'm just showing my respect, that's all."

Napoleon: "Not a bad mindset, don't you think?"

Napoleon joined in on the conversation.

Napoleon: "You've hurt Mitsuki in the past, so it's good you're being careful."

Drake: "Yeah, yeah, I haven't forgotten about it."

After hitting me where it hurts, Napoleon changed the topic.

Napoleon: "Speaking of Mitsuki, she was all fired up about finding out what you wanted for your birthday."

Drake: "Yeah, I kept it a secret and told her to try guessing."

Napoleon: "A secret, huh?"

Napoleon: "But isn't there really only one thing you want?"

Comte: "Your lover, right?"

Maybe it's because we're all men, but they easily saw right through my secret.

Drake: "Spot on. But that's not all."

Drake: "What I really want is Mitsuki's happiest smile."

Drake: "That's why, for my birthday, I'm going to spend the whole day making her as happy as possible."

(Like taking her out for good food or showing her beautiful scenery. I bet Mitsuki would love that.)

Just imagining it filled me with excitement, making me smile.

But Napoleon and Comte exchanged glances and grins mischievously.

Comte: "Do you think it will go that smoothly?"

Drake: "Huh?"

Comte: "Making a woman genuinely happy isn't exactly easy."

Comte: "Although we've seen her smile ourselves."

Napoleon: "We've shared many experiences with her since living together."

Comte: "Not long ago, she smiled when I gave her a dress."

Drake: "Wait, a dress?"

Napoleon: "It'll be interesting to see if you can surpass the smiles she's shown us."

(I can tell they're enjoying this.)

Their tone was clearly teasing, but beneath their sharp gazes

(There's a hint of seriousness there.)

Drake: "Are you provoking me because I stole your princess?"

Comte: "It’s only natural to assess the worth of the man who has taken someone we care about."

Comte: "As Napoleon mentioned, you've made mistakes before."

(Worth, huh?)

I'm not one to get overly defensive, but having them hold some kind of upper hand over me when it comes to Mitsuki doesn't sit well.

So...

(Fine, I'll take you up on that challenge.)

Drake: "I declare it now. I'll be the one to bring out Mitsuki's brightest smile."

Drake: "And as for that favorite dress of hers, I'll outshine it myself."

Napoleon: "Heh, this just got interesting."

Comte: "There's a social party coming up on September 7."

Comte: "I'll arrange the invitations, so you should attend with her. Let's see how you will do."

Drake: "Thanks. You can count on it."

Comte: "I'm looking forward to seeing Mitsuki's best smile."

After that, I tried making pudding and secretly took her measurements to order a custom dress.

I did unusual things for her, all for the sake of making her happy.

(I feel like I'm being played, but I can't back down when it comes to the woman I love.)

---------Flashback Ends--------

Drake: "It wouldn't make sense if you found out. Sorry for keeping it all secret."

Mitsuki: "No, it's fine because..."

Drake: "Fawn?"

Mitsuki: "Pffft, ahaha!"

She burst into laughter, clearly amused by something.

Mitsuki: "Sorry, I think you just replaced the best smile I've ever had."

Mitsuki: "I mean you really competed with everyone in the mansion?"

Well, to be honest, I was jealous.

Drake: "Yeah, I guess so. Kinda lame, huh?"

Mitsuki: "Not at all."

Mitsuki: "It just made me realize how much you care about me. That's why I'm incredibly happy right now!"

Drake: "----!"

The smile Mitsuki showed during the dance was the best I'd ever seen.

But just moments ago, and even now, it keeps getting even better.

(It's nice to do something that makes her happy, but I never thought it was this simple.)

The source of her smile was my feelings for her.

Drake: "Geez, you really have the best smile."

Drake: "If even my less-than-cool moments make you happy, I'm totally fine with it."

(I'm kinda embarrassed by how childish and immature I get because of love.)

(Feeling this way and making her happy is the best thing ever.)

Mitsuki: "I think I'll be able to keep making the best smiles thanks to you, Drake."

Mitsuki: "I'll be happy if my smile makes you happy too."

Mitsuki: "Will you accept my birthday present?"

She smiled as if offering her whole heart.

I gently took her delicate hand.

Drake: "Yes, Your Majesty. My happiness is with you."

I'm sure right now, my smile is the best it can be.

After that, the clock hands passed midnight.

Drake: "Mitsuki."

I brought Mitsuki back to the mansion, but it seems there's no one else around tonight.

Unable to ignore her inviting gaze, I led her into my old room.

Mitsuki: "Mnn... Ah... Francis..."

As I sat her on my lap on the bed and kissed her, her sweet, expectant moans escaped between our entwined tongues, gradually eroding my self-control.

Drake: "Even though I had plenty of you yesterday, I still want you."

Mitsuki: "I feel the same."

(She's making that kind of face.)

She blushed and looked away, probably aware she was being bold right now.

I looked up at her as I slid the dress off her shoulders and placed my chin on her breasts, pushed up by the corset.

Drake: "I love your smile, but I also love the embarrassed look you make when we're doing things like this."

Mitsuki: "….…"

As our gazes locked, Mitsuki took a sharp breath.

(Tonight, I'll pleasure you in my own way.)

[huntershowl-moving]

Positivity hour! Tell us about your favourite RP partner and your favourite thread! <3

OOH! i love positivity hour! cut for length because WORDY BITCH DISEASE STRIKES AGAIN APPARENTLY!

i don't think i could pin down just one favorite because i'm so incredibly lucky to have so many amazing partners during this sephblog golden age. this is only a few of the ppl who have touched my presence here and live in my brain rent free rn, i wish i could remember all of them but a shortlist will have to do o7

i will shoutout @harerazor and @tewwor for being my OGs, my rp besties, the truest mfs who always stick around through my year-long (sometimes years-long) absences and whenever i come back to discord or the dash, it's like we never left <3 AND for following me into my hyperfixation zones omg. writing windbreaker and jjk muses would be so much more lonely without u two in my life. <3

on the topic of OGs, @spiritcrown, @never-surrender and @bcdomens are the CREW!!!!!!!! THE FIRST PPL I EVER WROTE WITH AND SOME OF MY FAV FOLKS ON THIS HELLSITE you guys are the best. ily. connecting with u guys again felt like coming home.

@favorskill has ascended past the title of rp partner and into the title of friend. rio is one of my favorite people ever, genuinely, he's so cool and so skilled with writing/worldbuilding/watching his DICE MAKING SKILLS GROW has been so amazing too??? i care u so much rio. biting u. even when my brain is hopelessly deep in the fixation hole i am thinking about u and ur muses always <3

also shoutout to my wife @vsagis / @theixth (bc ik uve been on this one today) for just being like??? overall such a lovely person and an amazing writer??? our main dynamic is so deep and expansive we're starting to develop an extended universe for them. i love them i LOVE THEM TO DEATH. alex u match my freak ily i hope i get this job so we can hang out irl <3

speaking of matching my freak, @koseigu and i get along like a house on fire, and i don't think the world is truly ready for us. the more dynamics we develop, the more dangerous we become. everything we do with geto & sephsho ROCKS and i am terrified (excited) to see where seph and sukuna lead us in our newest explorations. we get up to some absolutely nasty (hot) shit with our creatures and it's always an amazing time. hehe

@chaoslulled hol you are so so so special to me. i owe u so many things and im so sorry omg but i literally never stop thinking about our threads & dynamics they're soooo good. i think you're one of the only partners i've actually been able to maintain Main Threads with over a long period of time?? there's something about the way we write together that makes that actually work in my brain which is super unusual JSDKJDHJKD i'm not complaining though, i love it so much. also your ocs are spinning around in my head on a daily basis, especially char because seph, chiaki and geto all like her very much. <3 ALSO. U ARE THE REASON I WRITE GETO. I HATE IT HERE HE WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE HOW COULD U DO THIS TO ME (affectionate). ur satoru is always the one he and seph come back to first because he is the original.

@quillheel and i have been mutuals for a while but didn't start regularly chatting until recently, and geto has been keeping me hostage in our 1x1 server over the last week or so, it's a problem, please help me. please. my crops are dying. also ur my current record breaker on "most fucked up start to an rp dynamic" with sukuna and rusa and im gonna be real i think u might hold that title for a while KJSDHIUSDHSJDHSJKDHJSKDH

@hinodae gray i think i would follow u to the ends of the earth. our little accidental threads have been some of my favorites ever, and i love to PIECES every one of our ship dynamics so far. thank u for being just as much of a slut for ships as i am, i feel like we match each other's energy and vibe so well!! TUMBLR BETTER UN-SHADOWBAN U SOON OR IM GONNA THROW HANDS >:'O

@eraserisms and @rcguish u two are like a package deal in my brain. D.A., the fact that we exist on the same chef wavelength always makes me so happy. i love seph and shota so much, they make me Hurt in all the best ways and i'm lookin forward to getting more into todoroki's voice so we can keep building out shota becoming his dad i mean mentoring him! and rys!!! i know ur absolutely going thru it rn so we haven't been talking as much lately, but i'm still just as feral for our dynamics as ever. seph and shouta's broken friendship. shou and orion's blossoming romance. seph has so many feelings and thoughts about silver that i don't even know how to articulate but that might need its own separate post. blowing u kisses.

lastly but not leastly, @gomannakami we only connected recently but we've already got this absolutely TRAGIC AND BEAUTIFUL set of pairings going on. satoru and chiaki are so stupidly cute and so so sad. seph and suguru are still in the beginning stages but i LOVE writing them sort of dancing around each other, the mutual pining is so spicy and delicious.

AS FOR THREADS!!!!!

ooh. hm. fuck. i think my first thought is always gonna be my longer-running threads with @chaoslulled — the one that stands out the most in my mind rn is the thread where satoru found seph on the brink of collapse after a hellhound kill. it was only the second thread we ever wrote together, and i ACUTELY remember how nervous i was that it was too intense and i was gonna scare hol away with it because that's happened so many times before. SJDHKSJHD

another one that comes to mind is one of my first threads with @tewwor's litho, which started with the simple inbox prompt "can't sleep?" and ended up turning into one of our longest threads to date and spiraling out into the longest fucking slowburn of this blog's career. i loved it. i'll never stop thinking about that apple.

Sunset Died - Lisa & VJ

Anticipations (Longer Part)

While everyone was now waiting to be evacuated, people still went about their normal everyday lives. School also continued to take place. But today was a day off for them. Time to have another look around. “It's amazing that the old thing made it all the way here.”

There have been many topics of conversation in the last few days. Not just about the rescue team, but also about the possibility of starting somewhere completely new. “I would love to go to Anne Arbor. My parents are still debating where to go. But I really want to go to this university…"/ ‘Why?’.

“Why? To study veterinary medicine, of course"/ ”You still want to do that? I thought you would have put that out of your mind long ago"/ ”No, never. I still really want that. Have you ever thought about a job again?"/ ”hm, yes…, something that my hands can do a lot of work with. They can't lie still…"/ ‘hm…’.

“With your hands, you say? Well, maybe… engineers… They're needed everywhere…"/ ”or mechanics, like that Diego. Man, he's really cool and so is the other one”. Lisa had to smile a little. “You only like them because they have just as loose a mouth as you and like to talk about women."/ ‘hehe… Maybe’.

In some places you find one or two people who seem to be a little off track. “Hi, Mr. Koffi, are you okay?"/ ”oh, hello, you two. Yes, yes, I just still can't believe we're being… rescued. I'd actually already resigned myself to the idea of having to stay here forever.”

For the younger people, the upcoming rescue operation was like an adventure. Not much longer and they'll be adults. So you have to be a bit silly beforehand and make a few memories. Who knows if they'll see each other again later in the same place. “Hey, Lisa, look over here!”. But Lisa found the photo thing less appealing, preferring to have a little chat with the always somewhat excited Gobias. And before the big departure, you make a few more contacts with people you haven't had much to do with before.

Over the long period since the disaster, everyone has settled into a certain routine. But they soon had to get used to a new daily routine again. And what some of them particularly missed was work, while others had become accustomed to spending more time at home and with the others. “Don't you want pizza, VJ?"/ ‘No, I have to watch my figure’/ ‘hahaha, you're a weirdo’. Even in the last few days in the old country, you still get surprises. “Hey, since when can you do that? I didn't even manage that"/ ‘I've just got talent, ihihi…’. …

And you're happy about the little and big things in life. “Oh man, look, VJ, didn't it turn out great?”. Lisa was quite proud of having prepare this pizza without burning it. “Maybe I'll have a piece after all"/ ‘I knew it, hn.’. After all, the way to the heart is through the stomach.

When the smell of freshly baked pizza fills the air, you won't be alone at the table for long. “It's really good"/ ”Thanks, Zelda. Have you decided where you want to go yet?"/ ”hm, the suggestions were a bit meagre. I first have to find out where I can best get on with my music."/ ‘hm, I hope you find the right place where you can realize your dreams’.

After filling their stomachs, Lisa and VJ wanted to go for a walk. That's when they bumped into the rescue team. And of course VJ was immediately drawn back to Diego. “Hey, what are you doing here?"/ ‘Well, I haven't been here yet and wanted to get a rough idea of what it used to look like.’/ ‘If you want an exact picture, we have a map on the wall at the school of the town when it was still intact’.

“Oh man, I'm still surprised about your hair, Erin. You had such nice long hair before…"/ ”And I always had to straighten it, hnhn. In the military, you should wear your hair as short as possible or tied up. I went for the first option"/ ‘looks good’.

The conversations were quite relaxed and the adults took some time to talk to the younger ones. VJ couldn't hold back his curiosity. “Isn't it a bit lonely out there sometimes, without a girlfriend?"/ ”Oh… Actually… It's quite bearable.” Diego said, glancing at Erin… VJ looked over at her too. Then he had to smile because he seemed to recognize something. “are we going, Lis?”.

After they had moved a few meters away again, Lisa briefly held him by the arm. “Hey, why did you really want to leave there with me now? I thought the conversation with Erin was really nice. She and my dad didn't get on well before, but now…"/ ‘I think she gets on pretty well with her pilots too…’ VJ grinned. “Huh? Oh come on, that's nonsense, they're colleagues“/”hnhn. Shall we go home? It's really cold…"/ ‘mhm’.

Once they were back home, Lisa headed straight for the bedroom and went to bed. Later. “Oh man, I'm so full"/ ‘No wonder, you had three more slices of the pizza’/ ‘But it was so delicious, mmh…’. VJ grinned as he looked at his girlfriend, who was holding her stomach. “What did your father say, when will they get here?"/ ”The day after tomorrow. Why?"/ ‘I'm thinking of going hunting one last time…’/ ‘what?’. Her shocked face amused him a little. “Hn, just kidding, okay? I really enjoyed it… but what do I do with all the stuff in the cold store? I wasn't expecting help so quickly and there's still a lot in there"/ ‘you can hand it out for the foxes, they'll be happy…’/ ‘hm… O.k., or I'll pack us a bit for later’/ ‘hmhm’….

VJ looked at his girlfriend. She was exhausted and her eyes had been closed since she lay down on the bed. Being out in the fresh air every day makes you pretty tired at some point…Soon the big adventure playground will be over. Then you'll meet new people and see new surroundings. “I hope there's a beach… Good night, babe”

It wasn't quite dark outside yet, but it felt like the day had gone on forever. And when you're particularly tired, you often sleep better. Who knows, you might even dream a little about the future.

Main characters

These aren't @sleepyichor designs, though yeah Vee's, Shelly's and Dandy's are pretty close to those designs but that's because I got to design Vee and drew Dandy and Shelly with input from the others working on it :] these designs are just MY PERSONAL headcannons on how they'd look, Sleepy Ichor designs have headcannons of the other mods in them, like Astro's slippers and white fluff at the bottom of his blanket and so on.

Also, in my mind this image is like- before all the twisting stuff. Their "prime" if I were to say :]

Reasons why the designs look so close to the Sleepy Ichor designs aside from what I've already said: the Sleepy Ichor designs are like bored into my mind and now it looks weird if I myself draw them too far from those designs (also the designs are just really cool imo, the other artist and the writers for Sleepy Ichor have really good character design brains hehe)

A little off topic: how would ppl feel if I were to make my own little ask blog that's not necessary connected to Sleepy Ichor? (I'll still be working on it of course, I just wanna be able to answer some other stuff on my own while we're working on main plot stuff for Sleepy Ichor:])

I think I talk too much °-°

[hacked-by-jake]

SPOILERS

Alright I have way too many thoughts and emotions so there ain't no way I'm gonna be able to organize everything into a nice sentence but I still gotta get it out 🤣🤣

First off, my notes app with some of my thoughts I wrote down while playing (in chronological order):

Where's Jake?

No premium?

Why and where is nymos

Why are we playing candy crush instead of hacking

Again: Where's Jake, he prob sees our chats and knows whats happening (hopefully)

The characters seem like an almost identical reflection to duskwood

What happened to Richy, please don't die on me 😩

Where's the others

We're now paying to see the secret chats

Why's this game taking so much of my money

Ash really be making me cry about Jake again 🥴

Eric be throwing himself at us when I still want to stay loyal to my hacker boy 💀

The ending: I KNEW MY BABY WAS ALIVE I LOVE HIM, I DEMAND HE TALKS TO US NEOW 👹

AND ALAN I MISSED HIM TOO MWAH MWAH

Rant 1:

The money milking makes me sick and don't even get me started on the ai 🫡 I spent 17 bucks today, halfway through the first episode and already out of all the materials I bought. It's disgusting how Everbyte has completely flipped and is practically scamming their players. Based on the prices, it's almost 3 dollars to view one picture 🙄 I would be more than happy to buy a premium package like duskwood for $20 or even 30 but $17 for not even half an episode is a crime 😭😭

Rant 2:

It's crazy how long this game took and yet it's way worse than duskwood. I was expecting a few additions, not subtractions.

Rant 3:

There is no way to see previous media and calls like in duskwood and no chat history like they promised. I never would've thought it was possible, but these mini games are way worse than duskwoods. And I realized how childish it all looks, I hate how we get no explanation for anything we're doing in the game.

Conclusion:

I'm pissed but seeing the anonymous mask gave me life. I need to go replay duskwood to cleanse myself of moonvale 😮‍💨

Pahahaha you're really killing me with your thoughts, I love your humor so much. 😭

I really should also start to write down my first thoughts while playing but I fear I will write down something to every little sentence I read. xD

But it's so true, where's Nymos? Give us Nymos back! My emotional bond with this unreal little dude is huge so I seriously need him. It's literally a program but it's a he you can't change my mind because I imagine Nymos as Jake best friend who's exactly like Jarvis from Marvel. (Sorry if you don't know it but then I really recommend you to watch the Iron Man movies. (Actually all marvel movies but we're talking about Jarvis here so you best see or more like hear him in Iron Man)

Btw my headcanon is that Nymos is not just any program but also an AI. So and now I will expand the headcanon and say Nymos is an AI that is against AI art and nobody can stop me, hehe.

The Candy Crush comparison makes me laugh every time and it hurts me because it’s true. xD

The thing with the characters being identical with the Duskwood characters... It's a hard topic in my eyes.

Some people say it way too early to judge this. And it's true. We didn't saw much now. But I do think we can already judge them a bit by what we saw. And when we compare it with how the Duskwood characters were in the first episode, I do think you can see that there's not much yet, sadly.

Like, we had Thomas, the idiot in love with problems to take criticism. We had Jessy the hanger-on that were clinging to Dan but then decided to change sides. We had the funny sunny boy Richy. The pretty cold acting Cleo. We had bitchy Lilly and of course we had the grumpy and unfriendly Dan. They all acted pretty strong from second one, in my eyes.

But I somehow absolutely don't think the Moonvale characters are like the Duskwood characters. Because well, I really think they need stronger personalities.

We have Eric who's a pretty normal guy and even though he tripped twice in one episode he's not at all like Thomas.

We have Ash who's like a very, veeery light version of Jessy and Lilly, in my eyes. Somehow kind but somehow absolutely not trustworthy.

We have Violet who's just.. there sometimes. Even the drunken police chief is more expressive.

Well and Charlie is.. Somehow like Richy and in my eyes has the strongest personality so far.

Oh and not to forget Brian who wasn't even there. Lol.

So yeah, I understand both points but I might see it a bit differently.

"Why's this game taking so much of my money" had me on my knees, laughing and crying at the same time because it's almost funny what Everbyte did and it's just as sad.

During my first playthrough I was also like: Someone give me a crucifix I need to get rid of Eric as soon as possible.

But while replaying I just had to see what happens if you decide to get closer with Eric and I swear it didn't disappoint me. It was hilarious and truly, I want this with Jake. I need such a chat with Jake! Everbyte, please!

I mean, I'm not flirting with Eric because I think he's hot or anything. Sadly, his character isn't interesting to me in this sense. (I need the mysterious guys xD) But I just had to try it and I mean, who knows if it will be important later. It's manipulative, I know, but don't judge me. And also, there's still this little hope for a jealous Jake. *ahem* Sorry, I promise I still feel bad for flirting with someone else. 😩

But gosh, the side story end. It was worth all the wait, really. I said before, I don’t forget about the negative things because of it but I'm just a silly, lonely, disappointed girl in love with a fictional hacker, let me have this adrenaline boost!

And yes, I was so happy when I saw Alan's body cam. I immediately knew what that means but at first I was just so happy to "see" Alan as well. I really like this guy, I can't stop myself.

About rant 1: I love the comparison with "So expensive is a picture" it is just as true and actually shows again how incredible it all is. I’ve said my opinion many times now, and I still want to protect Everbyte and give them a little empathy. But it's sadly just true.

I had a thought about that (what you said in rant 2) before and wanted to make a post about it later. So I hope it's okay if I get to it later.

Rant 3: This is actually one of the things that botherse the most. We can't rewatch calls, videos and pictures. The chats are disappearing and are gone forever. And they told us it will be different and that's so annoying. Not being able to see it in the app is just bothering for me. And yeah, that they broke the "promise" is as well. We all were so happy about the chat thing and now...

I actually like the look of Moonvale even if I would prefer something much darker. Especially with the mini games. The background is AI, of course, so. It would look much better with a real background.

And the damn mini games... I loved the ones in Duskwood so much. I really did. It was so much fun and I was one of the people who found them very easy.

But now the Moonvale mini games. By lord. Even though they're much easier for me in my replay, the first time I was actually this close to throwing my phone against the wall. I mean, I even went to sleep at some point and finished the game the next day! Everyone who follows me since duskwood knows I would rather shave my head than that. But they're just pain. And I seriously hope Everbyte will make them a bit easier or give us moves! Because this was often the biggest issue for me. Not enough moves. But they want you to buy gems so... 😒

Your conclusion sound good. I'm definitely planning to replay Duskwood as well. If I want or not. I have to. I need the comforting atmosphere and my emotional support hacker.

So I would say, see you in Duskwood, my detective friend. 🫡

No, jokes aside. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me and us. As I said, I love your humor and the way to describe the things. And I really enjoyed answering it. 💚

I hope you could calm down a bit as well. I definitely needed some days before I could see it more clearly.

And as always a huge pleasure to see you here again. 💚😌

[noyasaur]

when we sleep,are we in the void? i know that we are never fully attached to our body. and i also know that our subconsciousness is so powerful that it takes care of all versions of us in all realities and our bodies as well. so does that mean all versions of us(as in physical form) are equally connected to our subconsciousness and that's why we easily shift whether or not we are aware of it? uh i hope my questions make sense but this is the conclusion i came to but i wanted to ask someone as well

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

hihi anon! ugh you brought up such an interesting topic and i'm so excited to provide my view on this and i hope this won't be confusing to read or anything :)

🪐 THE SUBCONSCIOUS, OUR AWARENESS, OUR DR-SELVES, AND REALITY SHIFTING.

yes, you are correct. it's common knowledge that when we sleep, we are in the void. that when we sleep, we return to our most purest, and freest form as pure consciousness awareness just existing in the void, and most of the time, we're just not aware of it.

what you say about our subconscious being so powerful that it takes care of all versions of us in each reality along with our bodies, is super interesting! and honestly, does make sense within the context of what you were saying.

personally, i feel like my theory on this is a little different.

i believe that each of our dr-selves each have their own conscious mind, and subconscious mind because they are each their own, separate, person. that all realities that exist within each person's own perception of reality, are all existing at the same time.

i don't view it as each reality being separate bubbles in one big bubble, but rather, i view each reality kind of happening at the same time as if each reality was stacked on top of each other like pages in a book. but then everything is all mushed together, fusing into one big 'page' as everything is happening all at once, despite you perceiving only one reality- if that even makes sense lol.

or there's the analogy to describe different realities of millions of bubbles within a bathtub. or even going back to the analogy of all realities existing as 'bubble's or 'universes' within one major bubble of 'consciousness' that connects us all.

overall, we have the power to choose what reality to perceive and become aware of. that, we switch what awareness we decide to tune into and experience. because if we were to 'shift' our subconscious, or conscious mind, how would ourselves in this reality be able to function as normal?

but to me, what is that 'something' that connects all our dr-selves together? this has something i've thought long and hard on. our consciousness that connects us to our different selves? our subconscious, like you said?

our subconscious is truly so powerful as you mentioned, and while each of our different dr-selves have a different conscious and subconscious mind with different beliefs, those could be little bubbles or individual packets of our subconscious beliefs and processes of each of our different dr-selves within this big bubble of subconscious that holds and connects all of our selves in different realities.

we are able to shift easily because quite literally, 'everything' is happening 'everywhere' and 'all at once' (movie reference hehe). and if our subconscious connects every single one of our selves in each different reality together, it makes sense as to how and why we can shift easily and even access our other selves. our other selves are separate beings but at the same time, are products of our subconscious/awareness because how else are we supposed to be connected to them if they are external entities?

a 'something' has to connect everything together if we can even access our other realities. this is why i also believe in a mix of the multiverse and consciousness theories.

every one of ourselves in each reality is happening all at once, and since we're all connected (perhaps by the subconscious, like you said) it is easy for us to change our perception and choose what reality to tune into and 'become aware of.'

anyways, this is just my take on this and one of my many theories on reality shifting :p

and i'm sorry if this wasn't the type of answer you're looking for! when it comes to things like these, i don't like definitively saying something is the 'right' or 'wrong' answer because i know reality shifting is subjective and we don't exactly know how it works! so technically, anyone's theories could be right.

i also know that people's answers and opinions on this are going to be different depending on what they believe, and that's completely okay!

personally, another belief of mine is that all beliefs are 'true'. because according to the law of assumption, whatever you dominantly assume or believe, is your reality. i believe that whatever one person believes, is true for them in their reality, but can be different in my reality.

this is also why i believe all religions can be true too, despite not following a religion myself. and also why i believe that whatever you believe will happen after death, will happen to you. even if one person has a wildly different view and take on it compared to the person next to them, whatever each person believes will still happen to them because that's what they believe and assume!

i think the conclusion you came to is a very plausible and valid theory and it does make sense to me :) and i also hope i made sense! my explanation of my theory is probably all over the place and i'll probably make a separate post on this some time.

thank you for sharing your view on this and good luck on your journey!

"Lady Dimitrescu?!" - part 2 please

Lady Dimitrescu ?! II

assuming we're still on the same topic of cod, sure~ hehe. same as last time, no warnings, just pure humor & fluff. (i ended up adding the name Jormungandr from god of war)

original request:

characters: keegan, krueger, alejandro, horangi

part one is here. enjoy!!

Keegan

"knock, knock." Keegan states under his breath, opening the door to your office with a hand on his lower stomach. "injured man coming.." his eyes met yours, tempting a stop in his walking. his gaze trails down your body, taking in your height. "..through." you smile. "hey there. i would ask what's bothering you, but.." your eyes trail to where his hand was, red liquid staining his skin and clothes. "..i can already take a pretty good guess." Keegan paused for a moment before responding, eyes still wondering your height. "well, god damn ms. giantess. haven't seen you around."

Krueger

"son of a bitch," Krueger mumbled through his teeth, setting himself on a table in your office that he assumed would be used for emergencies. he was surprised to see it vacant, though nonetheless began rummaging around for something to help his wound. in the midst of it, you seemingly appeared behind him. "i'm assuming you're the one named Krueger?" you ask gently, almost recognizing the man off sight. you stand over the man in front of you and notice small dots of red dripping from some place on his body. he jumps, looking over his shoulder expecting to see a smaller being than himself - only for his eyes to have to trail up your body to find yours. "never in my life had i thought i'd see Jormungandr.. until now." you smile at the reference, moving to get the medical alcohol to treat the obvious wound on his shoulder. "hello to you too, Kratos."

Alejandro

Alejandro made his way to your office, not for the fact that he had an injury but because he's been told of something like a folklore tale. apparently, the soldiers have been told that while in the infirmary, they've been met with a woman with a similar height to Lady Dimitrescu. why they would say this is beyond alejandro's understanding at first, because when he saw you, you were sitting all pretty at your desk - relaxing. you looked small enough. so what's with the constant comments about your height? though, he soon found out the next time he was sent to visit due to a gun shot wound on his left forearm. his gaze fixated on the wound, he doesn't seem to notice the overwhelming shadow looking over him. finally looking up, he gets lost in both your height and eyes trying to take it all in. "sir?" you ask, confused because of his gaze. "are you okay?"

Horangi

"why hello, queen kong." horangi called, teasing you over your height when you entered the cafeteria for lunch. you look over your shoulder, eyes narrowing at the smaller man behind you. "hello, Kirby." you quip back, a devious smirk crossing your face when you sense an obvious change in energy when you make a reference to his smaller height. "..well fuck you too." he remarks under his breath, turning away from you sassily before walking away.

put a finger down with karasuno and fukurodani

kageyama having a crush on akaashi isn't really a secret to karasuno but they do not swim about this topic so he thought he was safe during the joint training with fukurodani.

"kageyama quick, fukurodani's setter?"

"Uh smash?"

he fell right into the tease trap. Karasuno 2nd years have now their stomachs on the floor "hey bokuto-san's pal! you open? join us here!" noya invited making kageyama stand up abruptly to escape the hot seat. konoha tagged along with him and sat on the floor, the first thing he noticed was Kageyama trynna escape the scene "hey aren't you joining kageyama-kun?" tobio wanted to answer but his throat betrayed him so there comes tanaka who sat him down just beside akaashi "will appreciate a melon bread later" tanaka whispered as ne gestured noya to start.

"Alrighty folks we're to play pafd!" noya announces as kageyama trynna steal glances of akaashi from his peripheral vision. Konoha picked up the phase as soon as he saw the nod exchanges between the second years of karasuno plus tobio blushing beside their setter.

"keiji can you scooch a little my leg is kinda cramped" "hmph!" adjusting to the space, akaashi bumped to tobio causing the younger to squeal covering his mouth luckily for him keiji seems to be not caught up by it. kageyama can feel it—everyone is subtly watching him and how he acts with his chummy crush on fukorodani's akaashi keiji. "everyone! 30 minutes and we're back to the court!" coach ukai announced after talking to the captains "alright this is just a quick put a finger down"

"losers will buy us drinks after the game! you first narita" noya pointed making sure that his kouhai and keiji will lose with having their turn "put a finger down if you are a setter" narita just rub the back of his neck from receiving glares "haha calm down kageyama-kun"

with keiji saying that it really didn’t calm tobio down, he's even hiding his rouge cheeks and can’t look to his crush's way to give a response "me next! if you are fukurodani's then put it down! hehe" even though they are targetting the two setters it won’t hurt others to put some fingers down, hisashi thought "that's not cool kinnoshita-san!" konoha commented

"okay it’s my turn, let's add some spice" kageyama anxiously gulped at the thought of tanaka really trying to expose him not noticing how keiji is literally observing him

"i've never seen you so worked up on a matter besides volleyball" everyone stopped at keiji's remarks "maybe because he is sitting with his-" "tanaka-san!" "with his favorite setter" tanaka giggles on the sight of kageyama's state "really? then should i sit closer?"

"yes!" the unexpected unison amazed keiji as if it was a volleyball gameplay where everyone is connected including his team mate konoha "woah guys okay, let's continue the game" kagayema was off the earth by now, their knees are touching, he could see keiji without trying so hard to side eye, he could smell him, he saw him smile, he don’t know if it’s imagination but for him keiji smiled at him "put a finger down if you have a crush here inside the whole gym" everyone was eyeing every hand and surprisingly they saw 7 fingers fold

but they all focused on the two, tobio's and keiji's which the both of them folded kageyama was heartbroken of that sight and it’s obvious because how furrowed his eyebrows are keiji noticed it, as a matter of fact everyone noticed it and they just laughed it off because,

"kageyama-kun you're acting cute today" the circle was shocked because did keiji just read their minds? "well you better tell that to your crush" tobio murmured just loud enough for himself to hear "i heard that" keiji chuckles as he glanced away from him.

"oh no its my turn, let's add more spice! put a finger down if that crush is within this circle!" noya laughed as if there's no tomorrow holding his tummy and so the final judgement? tobio's down to 3 fingers while keiji is at 4

"oh wow thank you kageyama for having a crush on me" tanaka teased "it’s not you!" "who might it be? hmm from fukurodani?" just before it could further escalate kageyama shifted the question to akaashi "how about you akaashi-san is it from karasuno?" noya gave out his thumb to kageyama and mouthed good job "i'll keep it as a secret"

"keiji stop acting cool its literally from karasuno bc im not your type its more likely to be-" konoha spoke up to clear something bc he doesn’t want tobio's glares "let's continue the game" keiji interrupted

"here comes your angel ennoshita but not today, put your finger down if you are a first year" and with that they had obvious losers with both kageyama and akaashi folding four fingers "i guess im the one who officiates the loser, then! kageyama please be ready to buy drinks"

konoha smiled sheepishly eyeing akaashi "fold a finger if your name has a letter t" "and that ends our game kageyami buy me pocari!" "mines blue gatorade!" "me too" and all the requests came up "so three gatorades two pocaris, how about you akaashi-san?"

"i dont know yet so im coming with you to choose" konoho saw this coming so he let kageyama lose, surprised as he is, tobio just nods and walked towards the nearest 7/11 it was silent all along until they reached the fridge of drinks "are you not asking me who is it?"

kageyama just avoids his gaze and ended up shrugging "i mean it’s not my business so" "maybe it is, it doesnt hurt to ask" keiji said as he got the rest of the drinks then it was silent again while they pay "excuse me what time is it?" keiji asked the lady at the counter.

"12:59" and there they realized they are going to be late and that means double drills so after getting the change akaashi grabbed kageyama's wrist and dashed off "wait akaashi-san?" holding the bag full of drinks, kageyama still managed to catch up to him—he didnt want keiji to remove his hands to him. in the middle of them running, "it’s you tobio-kun" kageyama could not help it but stop and when keiji saw him he was all red up to his ears "it’s me? why?" tobio still lost in trance catches his breath

"Because it’s you? I don’t know too"

and like that its ready 1:02 and when they arrived it was not the double drill waiting for them but, "so are you guys together now?" "did you hold hands?" "ohh maybe they kissed" keiji just laughed it off but did not deny because it’s all true

he kissed tobio, they are now together and they held hands running back to the gym "im gonna let you off this time, a gift from me to the new lovebirds, ahhh youth, now go to your teams we're starting again" ukai announced.
