Harry: And why shouldn’t I blame Spiderman for your injuries?? He calls himself a hero, protecting civilians like you should be his priority! Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t kick his ass for letting you get hurt!!
Peter: Because-
Newscaster on the tv next to Harry: In this footage you can see Peter Parker, known freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle, actually shove Dr. Doom out of his way while yelling “move it or lose it,” as he runs with his camera, presumably to capture more pictures of the vigilante known as “Spiderman”
Harry:
Peter: -I’m a dumbass.
#still thinking about all the ways Peter would try to defend Spiderman#while it backfires against his own reputation in some way#Peter Parker#Harry Osborn#I love that secret identity trope where someone loves their friend so much and unknowingly hates their friend’s superhero identity#Spiderman#spider-man#spider man#made up dialogue by yours truly#forgot to tag dr doom whoops#dr doom#victor von doom

Small(or not) what if scene 👀 What if Mushroom Boy didn't have the ability to hypnotize people, but just read their minds???
Like an AU where his powers are different? I'll indulge since the scenario does seem interesting! 🍄
If Mychael didn't have hypnosis but instead read minds under cut:
Mychael's hypnosis is pretty much his main go-to for survival. As a pacifist (or at least he tries to be) the fastest way to de-escalate a hostile situation is throwing a hypnosis blanket over the threat and make them docile/non-aggressive. If it has a mind he can manipulate why go about it any other way? And keep in mind it's a one-way street. He can feed thoughts into your head but the only way he knows it's working is you reacting externally like with your words and actions.
But suppose he can't manipulate minds but only read them? I think it would shift his entire personality. Knowing people's true intent and what they think of him would change his survival behavior. Instead of placating the threat directly and just force people to accept his presence (albeit under mind control), he'd have to adapt on the spot more often.
He'd have to say and act in whatever way that would earn others' trust enough so they won't hurt him, or just turn and run if he feels like they're out for his blood. He'd be more manipulative, less open and honest, and wear several more masks than he already does now. He'd never give away that he knows what you're thinking at any time, since that's basically his only tool to survive so he wouldn't give up that information easily.
And I imagine after hearing "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT" over and over and over every single time he meets someone new, he'd just accept nobody wants him at all. So would he even begin to yearn for company? Absolutely not.
This was a really fun scenario so I made a quick doodle just highlighting their main mindsets:
#mushroom oasis vn#mychael ask#doodles#“small or not” DEFINITELY NOT BESTIE#bro i rambled AND drew something for an ask???#crayzee#i just cant stop thinking abt it sdfh he would be SO different if he didnt have his hypnosis ability#THANK YOU FOR SUCH A NEAT ASK!#update: someone pointed out i forgot the ears for mind reader mychael whoops#ears have been returned to their rightful place <3#MR!Mychael

I know people are still rooting for the idea that the Miraculous S5 ending was bad on purpose, and everything about Marinette inheriting Gabriel's mantle as the one who treats Adrien as a perfect, pure, passive object, and keeps him in the dark about everything, and prevents him from having informed choices, and manipulates him into believing that he wasn't really abused, "will be addressed later" and then everything will be great.
However, I don't think this story arc, the one we were watching pre-s5, in salvageable anymore. I don't think a character getting SO dramatically ejected out of their own plot when it was ACTUALLY HAPPENING is something that "can be fixed later".
The awaited resolution for Adrien's personal story was never "Marinette eventually reveals the truth to Adrien after the fact".
It was even less "Lila reveals that Marinette has been lying".
Someone else telling Adrien now, would just ONCE AGAIN rob Adrien of agency and make him a passive object-not-subject observer of his own story.
Whoever may have the dignity to tell Adrien, will still be the one with all the agency and power over him in that situation.
The most agency Adrien can have now would be, like, finding out on his own, against Marinette's will, and then "going evil" or whatever... Which would STILL be obnoxious, because it would portray a victim of abuse seeking autonomy/justice/control of their own life as "going evil" against the will of the abusive authority figures keeping them "safely" under control.🍎
A big part of the problem with the s5+ trajectory is that, yes, Marinette[1] should tell Adrien the truth in order to not continue to be a terrible person who sided with Adrien's abuser against Adrien's human rights. But also... that whole setup is just Not That Satisfying, either.
The satisfying outcome would have been for Adrien to find out himself in a way that had a genuine plot impact and was a significant turning point in his character arc.
However, Gabriel is dead and has been discovered by Maribug and got his Wish, so that possibility has already been thoroughly wasted. RIP.
___
[1] yes, there are several other people who should also tell Adrien the truth in order to not continue to be awful, but, honestly, did we ever expect any better from the likes of Nathalie or Félix, who have been enabling the abuse all along? I know Kagami used to have principles, but she appears to have lost them after getting strangled by the red string and getting reduced to Félix' arm candy. A tragedy really.

BG3 Drabble: Parenthood?
Pairing: (named)F!Tav x Shadowheart
Summary: Yenna's presence in camp causes Shadowheart to contemplate something that was unthinkable during her time serving Shar.
Words: 4.5k
-------------------------------------------------------------------
There’s a sort of stirring from outside Shadowheart and Tav’s shared tent, slowly warming in the rays of the dawn’s first light. Shadowheart’s ear perks to the sound, as does her lover’s- and she shifts in the bedroll, her lips once again finding purchase in the crook of Tav’s neck.
“Probably Scratch.” Serena concedes rather sleepily, arms wound tightly around Shadowheart’s hips, as if she fears she might disappear in the dead of night.
“...Probably.” Shadowheart mumbles in agreement, the movement of her lips against the nape of Tav’s neck tickling her lover momentarily.
She traces a lazy finger in the dip of Serena’s chest, drawing a soft whine of pleasure from her lover.
Then, a new voice joins the fold.
“...Are you awake yet?” A fiery, bright, reddish-orange head of hair pops through the tent flaps, and both Serena and Shadowheart startle, their foreheads colliding with a slam as they jump apart.
“Oh, hells.” Shadowheart groans and clutches her head, and Serena winces as she gently peels herself from their tangled embrace.
They’re lucky they had the common sense to dress themselves, after several intimate moments that took place in the night, fueled by wine and the privacy of their tent, shrouded in a spell of darkness, courtesy of Shadowheart.
Serena reacts first. Owlishly, she blinks a few times, and regards their intruder with a little smile.
Serena can’t help it.
There is something endearing about the exuberant little girl, who offers to cook for them, and plays with Scratch, while she patiently awaits the return of her mother…
…A mother who might well be wiped from this very existence.
Serena pushes those thoughts from her mind; they will find Yenna’s mother alive.
“Good morning, Yenna.” Serena greets softly. “Did you sleep well?”
“Hello, Tav!” Yenna gives her a gap-toothed grin, the very image of childish joy, and Serena chuckles softly. “Grub and I had the best sleep ever!”
Lae’zel had remarked she’d start to lose respect around camp if she let a child call her by her nickname.
Serena can’t be bothered to care; she, too, was once a wide-eyed and eager child, so taken by the life of adventuring, of excitement. She’d much rather be a friend to a little girl who’s mother is missing, rather than an intimidating source of authority.
She’s had enough of that word for a lifetime.
“Well, that’s very good. Cooking a spot of breakfast, are we?” Serena eyes the wooden spoon in her hand.
“Well, yes, but I can’t find the ingredients I need.” Yenna explains, sounding suddenly downtrodden. “And I know how to make the best stew!”
Serena nods, and then thinks for a moment. “...What if I took you to the city? I’m certain the vendors there would have everything you’d need.”
Yenna wears a look of euphoria. “The city?!” She squeals, and vaguely, they hear Astarion curse her youthful glee, loud as it is at such an hour.
Shadowheart whines softly under the cover of the furs, and Serena winces, remembering the three or four chalices of wine they’d shared.
“Yes.” Serena whispers, gesturing for Yenna to keep her voice down. “We can go together. But you have to remember, everyone is sleeping, Yenna. We have to be quiet, until we leave-”
“Got it!” Yenna’s whisper is nearly as loud as her shout, and Serena grins as she darts away to ready herself for their impromptu trip.
Serena turns to find her lover observing her from the bedroll, head propped up on her elbow.
Her lungs constrict; there will never be a moment in which she sees Shadowheart in her bedroll and won’t have a near heart-attack.
She is that beautiful, of course, but more than that: she’s here. With Serena. In her bedroll. Where she sleeps, nightly.
Simple facts such as these often matter very little to established couples; Serena thinks it’s nothing short of a travesty.
Though their relationship is new- in the sense that Shadowheart has only recently admitted the full extent of her love for Serena- Serena knows she could never simply get used to the fact that Shadowheart is hers, as she is Shadowheart’s..
Shadowheart is smirking at her, just short of rolling her eyes, and Serena adores the expression, still. She’s long made peace with the fact that her love for Shadowheart is all-consuming; she’s learned to love her pouts, her smirks, the way she manages to make her very expressions drip with sarcasm. It’s uniquely her, and Serena would not trade her for any soul in all of Faerûn, ever.
“What?” Serena asks sheepishly, brushing a stray hair from her eyes.
“Nothing.” Shadowheart shrugs, but her eyes devour Tav as she does so.
It’s clear she’s amused by something.
“It’s just…” Shadowheart drawls. “You’re very good with her.”
Serena shrugs. “There’s nothing to it, really. She’s a child. A very mild-mannered one, at that.” She smiles wistfully, remembering her own days, scabbing her knees and trying to sneak past her own estate guards.
“Nevertheless.” Shadowheart is smiling, now- a genuine smile. Soft and alluring, Serena blinks a few times, forgetting to breathe. “I find it… sweet.”
“Sweet enough that you’d like to join us?” Serena tries.
“Hah.” Shadowheart laughs, reclining backwards into the bedroll, nestled in the warmth. “ At this hour? I should think not.”
Serena sighs, and she smiles against Shadowheart’s forehead when she presses a kiss there, apologizing for their bump, earlier.
Shadowheart tugs her down for a kiss, and Serena moans softly, forgetting herself entirely as she almost melts into Shadowheart.
Shadowheart pulls away, and laughs quietly at the dumbstruck expression on Serena’s face.
It will never get old for Shadowheart, watching her lover seem to forget time and space, in favor of her lips instead.
“Go on, then.” Shadowheart drawls in a whisper. “You made a promise.”
“Did I?” Serena mumbles, touching her own lips with an awestruck look, and Shadowheart chuckles softly at the sight of her handiwork, before letting her go.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Screams of delight fill the air, as Karlach lunges for Yenna, who dives to take cover behind Serena’s legs.
Their training session has been cut short by the presence of the curious little girl, and Karlach and Serena are, perhaps, the only two in camp who haven’t the heart to deny her anything.
So they spend their afternoon, the one they should have spent recovering for their next battle, playing like children.
And Shadowheart has spent the better part of her afternoon watching.
In truth, she’s captivated by several of the sights she sees: the first of which being Serena.
Serena has a heart of gold: it’s likely the reason she hasn’t abandoned Shadowheart altogether, and furthermore- it’s one of Shadowheart’s favorite qualities of Serena’s.
Serena has told Shadowheart many a tale from her childhood; she was often at odds with the authority figures in her life, for constantly disobeying the particularly strict set of rules she was to abide by.
Serena grins as Yenna dives for her arms, now laughing as Karlach plays the role of the villain- frankly, the sweetest villain Shadowheart has ever seen.
The three of them seem nothing more than a rowdy group of children, rather than a rescued child, and a couple of harrowed soldiers.
Shadowheart watches from the bench outside her own tent- and though she holds a novel in her hands- a recommendation from Wyll, no less- she can’t seem to read it for the life of her. Every time Serena laughs, melodic and beautiful, Shadowheart looks up at her, and falls in love with her more with each passing second.
There is a specific, unbridled joy Serena seems to display, in the presence of children.
Shadowheart had noted it before, several times over on their journey- the first time being with the Tiefling children by the Druid’s Grove.
Shadowheart hadn’t known then what she knows now- about Serena, herself, any of it.
But she finds the same persistent warmth, fluttering in her chest at the notion of perhaps involving herself with Serena, in this way.
“I know that look.” A voice clears their throat behind her and then speaks, nearly startling Shadowheart from her love-addled reverie.
Shadowheart closes her book, setting it on her lap as she glances up at Jaheira quizzically.
“...And what look might that be?” Shadowheart humors her with a sigh.
“You wish to be a mother.” Jaheira does not ask it- perhaps if she had, it might have been slightly less shocking.
“I…you…sorry?” Shadowheart sputters, in a manner most uncharacteristic for the usually unruffled cleric. Her words carry none of the elegant, biting attitude with which she’s normally able to convey her words.
Jaheira smirks knowingly. “Don’t worry, Shadowheart. Your secret is safe with me.” She glances over at Serena, who dances around Karlach’s extra-slow “attacks” with Yenna standing atop her boots, movements expertly guided by Serena.
“...I haven’t a clue what you’re referring to.” Shadowheart sniffs, regaining her composure.
“Surely you don’t.” Jaheira snorts. “Tell me, how is your novel?” She glances at the cover. “The Wanton Warrior, eh?”
Shadowheart rolls her eyes. “Riveting.” she grits.
“Oh? I’ve read it myself.” Jaheira’s eyes narrow. “The Commander is quite the character, is she not?”
Shadowheart sees the trap before Jaheira even finishes laying it. “Not a real character in the novel, I presume? Fine. I’ve barely read a word. Happy?”
Jaheira scoffs. “So very bright. I should have known better.” She acknowledges with a little smile. She sobers, glancing at Yenna. “It is not something to carry shame over….wanting children, I mean.” She clarifies.
Shadowheart’s cheeks burn as a blush slowly breaks out across her features. “It’s not…i don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting children.” She corrects softly. “Just…not me.” She whispers the last part, and Jaheira nods, for a moment.
“I…thought the same, once.” Jaheira begins.
Shadowheart knows Jaheira speaks from experience- with at least five foster children in her care at one point, Jaheira has known the trials and tribulations of guardianship.
“I wouldn’t…” Shadowheart stammers. “I wouldn’t know where to begin.” She says nothing of her struggles in the cloister, of her tainted relationship to Viconia and other figures of authority, or of her fractured relationship with her own parents.
Until several tendays prior, the notion of Shadowheart ever being a guardian, let alone a mother, to a child, was unthinkable.
And now? Suddenly there’s a little girl in their camp, and she’s forsaking principles she’s held for the entirety of her life?
No- that isn’t entirely fair, or truthful.
Serena is making her rethink everything.
Shadowheart sees a partner in Serena- a partner she never could have imagined. Serena makes even the most daunting tasks seem achievable. Serena was there with her when she turned her back on Shar, and Serena helped her lead the charge into the cloister to save her parents.
With Serena…Shadowheart finds that she wouldn’t hate the idea, quite so much as she thought she did.
And that terrifies her.
It is the sound of crying that draws Shadowheart’s attention, and she’s up from her seat before she can even make sense of what’s happening. Serena cradles Yenna, scooping her up as if she weighs nothing at all, and she and Karlach coo softly to her.
It’s when Serena turns towards her that Shadowheart sees it- a scrape, barely there, nothing but a little red mark on the child’s knee.
“It’s alright.” Serena coos, as she brushes Yenna’s tears away. “I happen to know someone who can make everything better.” She promises sweetly.
Shadowheart watches the way Serena effortlessly supports Yenna’s weight while distracting her, and realizes with a jolt, Serena is coming to her.
“Y…you..do?” Yenna sniffles.
“I do.” Serena promises with a little smile. “I couldn’t live without her.” She tells her so casually, though the words make Shadowheart’s chest ache with fondness.
Serena nods to Shadowheart’s tent, and Shadowheart gets the message, politely excusing herself from Jaheira’s watch as she guides them back to her tent.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is remarkable how quickly children stop crying when they’re distracted, Shadowheart notes, with no shortage of amusement.
Yenna has seated herself comfortably atop Shadowheart’s bedroll- which, to be fair, goes unused nearly every night, since Shadowheart has essentially moved into Serena’s tent.
Yenna busies herself with touching some of Shadowheart’s belongings curiously- several books, a few plants, whatever she seems to be able to get her hands on.
And then, of course, comes the lovely, “What’s this?” from her lips, nearly every five seconds.
Serena watches with amusement as Shadowheart opens her mouth to explain, but is interrupted every time.
“What’s this?”
“That’s just a watering can-”
“And this?”
“That would be one of my fa-”
“Oh, what’s this?” Yenna asks, holding a book up from the pile. “The Salty-”
Shadowheart’s eyebrows are in her hairline as she shoots Serena a mortified glance, and Serena gracefully plucks the book from Yenna’s grasp.
“You’ll want to pay attention to her healing magic.” Serena winks at Yenna, slyly sliding the book beneath the furs, out of sight.
Her gaze dances with amusement, and Shadowheart offers her a little smile, shaking her head at the narrow miss.
“Magic?” Yenna repeats, eyes wide with awe. “You can do that?” She asks, and she seems to be seeing Shadowheart in a new light.
Shadowheart laughs softly, unsure of what to do with the admiration. “Yes. I need you to be still, could you do that for me?” She asks sweetly, and Yenna nods, all too eager. She nearly shoves her knee in Shadowheart’s chin, practically vibrating with excitement.
Shadowheart exchanges a wide-eyed glance with Serena, who smiles back at her from where she sits beside Yenna, resting her chin atop her knees.
“Still, Yenna.” Serena reminds with a little chuckle, and Yenna’s bouncing ceases.
When Shadowheart goes to work, Yenna seems to think she’s met a goddess. She watches, gaping all the while, as Shadowheart’s glowing palm does away with the benign scrape atop her knee, closing the skin until it looks seamless.
Yenna glances up at her, eyes wider than Serena has ever seen them.
“...Better?” Shadowheart asks softly, and Yenna throws herself at Shadowheart, hugging her by looping her short arms around Shadowheart’s neck and shoulders.
“Thank you, thank you!” Yenna cheers, despite the fact that it took almost nothing from Shadowheart.
Shadowheart stills, stunned into silence for a moment, as the little girl hugs her, thanking her profusely.
It is Serena’s warm gaze over Yenna’s shoulder that brings her back; Shadowheart realizes she likes this feeling, radiating from her heart to the rest of her body.
She likes being a healer, a protector,...a parent, even.
“I…it was nothing.” Shadowheart murmurs, but she does give Yenna a little hug in return, and that seems to quell the child’s need for affection.
“...Can I go back to playing with Karlach?” Yenna turns to ask them both.
It is a strange feeling, Shadowheart realizes- she and Serena seem to share custody of Yenna, for all intents and purposes. Of course, Shadowheart operates under no delusion of making this permanent; Yenna’s mother needs their help.
But the fact that she doesn’t seem to mind, is what suddenly takes her breath away.
Serena nods, and Yenna excuses herself with a last, grateful show of appreciation before practically skipping away.
Serena glances back to her lover, eyeing her carefully, drinking her expression in.
She looks as if she wants to say something, and for Shadowheart’s sake, she bites her tongue, knowing all-too-well how intense her feelings can be for Shadowheart.
“Thank you.” Serena offers quietly, instead.
Her eyes give her away; they’re nearly wet with emotion. Shadowheart recognizes it instantly; it’s the same awe Yenna had in her eyes when Shadowheart healed her, only…
Love.
Serena’s gaze is thick with adoration.
“It was no trouble.” Shadowheart reminds her gently.
“...You don’t know how good you are.” Serena whispers, and the way she says it- the tears that gather in her eyes- tell Shadowheart how she means it. “We are all so lucky- me, more than anyone, to have you…”
Serena is incredibly gifted at making Shadowheart ache in the most beautiful ways.
Shadowheart knows what’s left unspoken- knows the implications of Serena’s words.
They could have a family together, if they survive this.
“I am the lucky one.” Shadowheart promises in just a whisper as she gently pushes Serena backwards onto the bedroll, climbing atop her.
Serena hisses as her back meets the furs, and Shadowheart freezes, eyes wide with concern.
“You’re hurt?” Shadowheart demands, already reaching to undo Serena’s shirt to get a better look.
“Mmm.” Serena groans in response, and pulls the copy of the Salty Mermaid from underneath the furs, the hard corner of the book having dug into Serena’s hip.
Shadowheart snorts a laugh, shoulders dropping in relief, and Serena grins, gently tossing the book aside. “Too close, that.”
Perhaps, Shadowheart muses, in the future, they’ll invest in a library for their home with a locked section.
Or at least a section that’s out of reach of most children, anyway.
This time, Shadowheart remembers to properly seal the tent flaps.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dusk paints the camp in lovely hues of pink and orange, and then eventually red, as the sun’s rays begin to filter out of the sky, one by one.
In the heart of camp, there is a bustle around the fire, where a particularly talked about stew is finally being served to all.
“Is it good?” Yenna asks hopefully, as she offers Arnell yet another helping of stew. “I tried really really hard! And Grub says it’s my best stew yet!”
“I have no reason to believe otherwise.” Arnell nods sagely as he holds his bowl up in celebration. “Truly a delicacy.” He smiles kindly at the little girl as she moves onto the next recipient around the fire, bowls at the ready.
Shadowheart has to give Yenna credit; it is a delicious stew.
When Serena had returned from the city traders with Yenna, carrying a whole surplus of produce, Shadowheart was more than amused.
It seems that Serena’s investments have paid dividends, now, as everyone gathers to enjoy the meal.
“Delicious.” Emmeline chuckles, after a bite. “Of course Jen’s daughter can cook. She comes from me, after all.”
Shadowheart stills, mid-bite, as she exchanges a wide-eyed glance with her father.
Arnell winces slightly; it’s never easy, hearing Emmeline flit in and out of the reality her mind seems to create for itself in its atrophy.
She has better days, mostly, but every now and again she’ll make a comment that reminds Shadowheart she’s not all there.
Only this time, she’s managed to say just the thing that’s terrified Shadowheart all week.
Shadowheart opens her mouth to correct her, and thinks better of it. Within a few moments, her mother will have forgotten she’s said anything at all.
Best not to further confuse her by trying to set the record straight.
Still, the words linger in Shadowheart’s mind.
Jen’s daughter.
Shadowheart glances at Serena, who helps Yenna serve, knowing all too well the little girl’s tendency to spill- and wanting to prevent as much with something as scalding as stew.
Shadowheart feels the all-too-familiar butterflies in her chest, just glancing at her.
It hasn’t been an easy tenday- and that’s not even considering the fighting they’ve done to get into the city. In fact, it hasn’t been an easy journey, in totality.
Shadowheart cannot deny the truth any longer; she’s changing. As the life she thought she’d lead bleeds away into the past, she finds her sights set firmly on the future; on one individual in particular.
When Serena finally manages to get Yenna seated with her own bowl of food- as intent as she is on serving others- Shadowheart beckons her away from the group with a little nod of her head.
Shadowheart’s very heart constricts when Serena follows instantly, without a glance behind her.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------
“This is actually quite good.” Serena notes after a spoon of the stew, legs dangling over the slight cliff-face she and Shadowheart sit atop.
Although there’s no waterfall this time, and no vintage bottle of wine to be shared as they did on their first evening together in solitude, it is equally as romantic.
Shadowheart glances at her in amusement, stealing a piece of bread from the corner of Serena’s bowl. “You had doubts?” She asks curiously, popping the bread into her mouth delicately.
“Could you cook a stew at Yenna’s age?” Serena scoffs. “In truth, I had my concerns that she’d burn the camp down.”
“And yet, you took her to get ingredients.” Shadowheart notes, smiling but politely declining when Serena offers the rest of her food, earnestly.
“It made her happy.” Serena explains. “She misses her mother, Heart.”
Shadowheart frowns at the reminder. “I know…” She murmurs, glancing down past the smoke billowing from atop the campfire, to her own mother and father.
They seem to be amused by the presence of the child, and they entertain her with stories as they eat around the fire. A safe distance away, Shadowheart is safe to peer at them without fear of being caught.
Serena follows her gaze, and frowns, slightly. “What’s the matter?”
She reads Shadowheart easily; like the way Shadowheart devours one of Wyll’s book recommendations.
“Honestly?” Shadowheart laughs, a little sadly. “...I don’t know.”
Serena nods slowly, giving Shadowheart a chance to elaborate. If there’s one talent Serena possesses, it is to listen without judgement. Shadowheart has always secretly envied her, in this regard.
The moment passes, and Shadowheart finds the will to continue.
“I…Yenna’s presence in camp…I think it…brought to surface some feelings that I’ve buried deep within me.” She admits, slowly.
Serena tries to follow her logic. “Does Yenna’s presence here make you uncomfortable?” She asks, again, without judgement.
Shadowheart wants to laugh. Only Serena would try to play the knight-in-shining-armor between her and a child, if Shadowheart asked it of her.
“Gods, no.” Shadowheart scoffs and whispers, shaking her head. “It’s not her.” She clarifies, gently. “It’s me.” She adds, a little sadly.
Serena sets her bowl aside, taking Shadowheart’s chin between her thumb and forefinger, gently tilting her downcast gaze upwards.
Shadowheart breathes raggedly, but she meets Serena’s gaze, inquisitive and ever so loving, in the moon’s light.
The moondrop pendant around Shadowheart’s neck, gifted to her by Serena herself, pulses with light as Shadowheart’s heart hammers against her ribcage.
“I think…” Shadowheart inhales sharply, gathers herself, and tries again. “...I want…to be a mother someday. To your child.”
The words come out of Shadowheart before she can stop herself.
In fact- it’s not what she meant to discuss- she’d intended to tell Serena about her mother’s verbal mishap, about what led up to this sudden outpouring of emotion- but she says the first thing that comes to her mind.
The truth, in essence.
Shadowheart doesn’t know what she was expecting.
Serena smiles.
It’s one of her rare, extra-elated smiles- the very kind that renders Shadowheart unable to breathe, when she sees it.
There is no shock, no questioning her logic, her qualifications. Serena does not ask her why she thinks she’s fit to be a mother, or if life in the cloister damaged her irreparably.
No, Serena simply cries tears of joy, and cradles her face as if it’s the most precious possession she’s ever held, fragile and liable to break at any moment.
Shadowheart can feel her lover’s happiness, in waves.
She had no idea Serena felt so strongly about the idea at all; she really needs to be more vocal about her concerns, her fears; so many of them are unfounded.
“...Once we win this…and we will win….” Shadowheart continues, kissing away the tears on Serena’s high cheekbones. “...There’ll be time to think about all of this, I know…” Shadowheart explains. “But I…this last tenday…I realized I didn’t hate the idea of becoming a mother…” Shadowheart whispers. “I…hated the idea that I’d fail.”
Shadowheart knows how outlandish it is to even consider such a possibility with so much on their collective plate, but the truth is, she’s new to the idea.
Under Shar, Shadowheart had long accepted that her fate was to serve, and that she’d never have a family of her own, outside of the cloister.
The idea that she can, now…it’s so terrifyingly freeing.
And it’s not as if Shadowheart needs a child right this instant, but just to be able to consider the possibility…it’s a privilege.
“You won’t fail.” Serena promises solemnly.
“You sound so certain.” Shadowheart challenges sadly.
“You could never fail.” Serena promises again, so tenderly and passionately that Shadowheart has no choice but to heed her words. “Shadowheart, Shar couldn’t even make you bad.” Serena laughs when she says it, almost to the point of hysteria, but Shadowheart knows she’s speaking from the heart.
“That’s not-”
“It is.” Serena presses. “Shar, Viconia, no one could take the heart out of Shadowheart.” Serena strokes her cheek softly, and Shadowheart shivers as she leans closer into her touch, so desperate to become one with her. “I know you think there’s bad in you, Shadowheart, but there simply isn’t…” Serena whispers in awe, in complete admiration of the woman before her. “And we learn from what hurts us the most. You could never do that to your own child…”
“They way you say it, it’s hard not to believe…” Shadowheart sniffles, and Serena wraps her arms around her, holding her close.
Shadowheart comes to rest her chin on Serena’s shoulder, and she sighs, burying herself deep into her lover’s warm embrace.
“I’m a terrible liar, you’d know.” Serena offers, and she grins when Shadowheart snickers a messy laugh into her shoulder.
A kiss is pressed to Shadowheart’s head, and she sighs.
“I adore you.” Serena admits quietly. “I only want what makes you happy. Child or no child, Shadowheart, I only ever need you.”
Shadowheart glances up at her, gaze glassy with fresh unshed tears, moved to pieces by the tenderness with which Serena treats her.
She opens her mouth to respond, but it’s a child’s voice that cuts through the silence first, bouncing up the cliff face and echoing across camp.
“Tav! Do you want more- Oh! There you two are!” Yenna bounds over eagerly, nearly tripping over herself as hot stew tumbles out of the bowls and right into Tav’s lap, thanks to her quick timing, gently shoving Shadowheart out of the way.
“...Oops!” Yenna covers her mouth, and then laughs out loud. “It’s still good, I promise!” She gestures to the two (now largely empty) bowls, and grins rather proudly. “I have to go give some to Gale. Bye!” She skips away, drawing the attention of both Grub and Scratch, causing quite the cacophony as she leaves.
Shadowheart glances down at Serena’s lap, and then winces, giving her a look of utter sympathy.
“...Perhaps it’s best if we wait a while, yet.” Shadowheart muses aloud. “…to have a child, I mean.”
Serena winces in agreement, biting her lip to keep from crying out in pain.

Okay I’ve been trying to draw this for who-knows-how-long, but I just kept forgetting I was drawing it while drawing it, and doing something else instead
But I finally doodled some lil design imaginations of Sun and Moon…
…from MASM ooh betcha didn’t see that coming it’s neither canon FNAF or SAMS
Firstly, Sun
I kinda imagine his body’s more like… a hard doll? Idk like wooden maybe? But he’s still an animatronic that’s just how his outer casing feels. He also kind of has retractable hands, so he can swap em out for different things, which I doodled some examples on the side (normal hands, feather dusters, lil grabby claw, vacuum - which the vacuum empties from his chest)
There wasn’t much I had for Sun (at least that I remember) cus I kept getting distracted the most while drawing him
Then there’s Moon
I imagine he has more of a plush feel to his body (since Moons are typically started off as the Naptime attendant on these kind of things) so his face and hands are more plushy
(So I imagine when he does his tech stuff, he has to wear tough gloves so he doesn’t tear the fabric of his hand)
(Also still animatronic, just a plush outer casing) (it’s like how I imagine Lefty’s body to be on EAPS but we’re not talking about the Security Breach Shows rn)
(Also mid-typing I decided it’d be better to imagine Moon with one of those tough… porcelyn? Faces, while the rest of him’s a plushy material)
Also, both of them have glowy forearms & waist & wrist ribbons
also, funny thing: I don’t watch MASM.
I already watch SAMS, LAES, and EAPS, and I don’t know if I could mentally handle the mentality of having to watch all of 4 daily shows instead of 3
So I only occasionally glance at MASM, and I’m slightly invested in Moon’s interest in Sun. (you got this lil gay boy, but dang are you so bad at it XD)
And also I’m pretty sure the thing that made me go back to checking on their channel was when this artist I’m subscribed to was doing voice claims for their characters of their SAMS x Dandy’s World AU, and Moon’s voice claim was the Moon from MASM, and the line of him saying “I’m gonna go bake more cookies!” In what sounded like a near-sob tone was so cute for me from the last time I had heard that Moon, so I was like “I need to know what’s going on here” XD
But yeyeye I’m just gonna leave this here
#my art#please don’t steal my art ty very much :3#MASM#Moon and Sun Minecraft#MASM Moon#MASM Sun#(Also if someone finds my account just from this please don’t expect more MASM#it’ll probably only be an occasional thing cus I don’t even watch it)#(also almost forgot the#my doodles#tag whoops-)

I was today years old when I finally realized that the reason the principal accidentally hired a ballet instructor was because "ballet-bu" (ballet club) and the way "volleyball" is pronounced sound so similar he couldn't tell the words apart.....
"Hey, we need a volleyball advisor."
"A ballet club advisor? Sure, why not!"
"Wait--"
#boueibu#binan koukou chikyuu bouei-bu love!#cute high earth defense club love!#boueibu love rambles#random thought#technically I was last night years old when it finally hit me like a ton of volleyballs but I've been Processing it#I swear my listening skills are decent but I ONLY JUST HEARD IT AFTER ALL THESE REWATCHES THROUGH THE YEARS#anyway I'm sure someone has pointed this out before and I either forgot; didn't understand at the time; or never saw //whoops#also hot damn look at that animation glow up!
