Oh! Such kiss to part with! She wished she never had to leave his side, let alone with her heart and mind so full with what they had just experienced together!

And it seemed he felt the same way, and she smile at his promise of one day. Then the smile grew as he plucked the debris from her hair. "I cannot wait for that day," she assured him. But her smile turned a bit cheeky. "Even if I shall never be able to separate the scent of the stable with the memory of that again."

She took his hand in one of hers and Maximus' lead in the other and began the slow stroll out into the cold night air. "Come what may," she assured him, "I will never regret this."

Of course he would walk her to the gate! He'd walk her all the way home had she not arrived on Maximus. As it was, he was still somewhat hesitant to let her out of his sight, for various reasons, not least of which the fact that he did not like the thought of her alone on the streets at night, however briefly.

He joined her beside Maximus. Before they set off, he rested a finger beneath her chin, gently tilting her face up to his so he could lean down and give her a long, lingering kiss. His head was still full of everything they had just done together, the way she'd felt, the sounds she'd made... his cheeks heated in another blush as he drew back.

"... one day, we shall have no need to part after that. We shall have the luxury of lying together all night long, safe and warm and..." He paused, a smile tugging at his lips as he plucked a piece of straw out of her hair. "And no hay or straw. in sight," he finished playfully.

Hey, remember how I had that Bridgerton AU? Well imagine that Punz has been sneaking out at night, and Gothel catches her in the act of coming home, an absolute mess.

Anyway, I started drawing this almost exactly a year ago, and last night I got it in my head to finally finish it. I'm especially proud of the fact that I simply used nighttime colors, for once, instead of daytime colors that I then put a filter over. It makes a huge difference.

Also, this is an upcoming moment in @xiaolindude's and my continuing RP (though it could just generically apply to any ol' Bridgerton AU). Can you believe we've been working on that thread since 2022?

In tribute to the Tangled-Xiaolin Showdown roleplay by @runningracingdancingchasing and @xiaolindude, here are some sketches of Rapunzel's life among the Xiaolin Warriors and her relationship with the 'Dragon of the Wind' Raimundo Pedrosa.

I started by showing the playful, sassy dynamics Rapunzel and Raimundo would exhibit between each other, then when they practise martial arts, Rapunzel playing a prank on Raimundo with Pascal ambushing him with a tongue in the ear. Rai gets grossed out while Rapunzel giggles uncontrollably.

Bex, or @runningracingdancingchasing, has shown Rapunzel to be a good friend, or even surrogate sister with Xiaolin 'Dragon of Fire' Kimiko Tohomiko. Having such a close relationship, Rapunzel and Kimiko have challenged each other to a race. Notice Master Fung and Dojo watching the two playing their little game.

Next Raimundo is making use of his elemental power to lift Rapunzel into the air so she can kick some butt from above. Notice Pascal hanging onto Rapunzel's lengthened hair for dear life!

As well as deep lovers, Raimundo and Rapunzel can be fierce fighters, Raimundo bowling over some ninjas and Rapunzel slashing them with her golden hair as though it were a whip.

Art is still a hobby of Rapunzel's, and who better to sketch the beauty of the human body than her Brazilian beau? Of course, Rapunzel, in just her vest and short shorts, doesn't mind in the slightest that Raimundo volunteers to let her paint him with his shirt off. Pascal is serving as her second opinion while she paints, but it seems Pascal will praise her artwork no matter how it looks.

Lastly Rapunzel and Raimundo, who's got on a Brazilian flag shirt, share a passionate kiss near a soothing seasape. For Rapunzel, Raimundo is everything she could want out of partner, life among the Xiaolin monks giving her a life beyond her wildest dreams. His wind powers and her sun-infused hair intertwine just like their relationship and many romantic adventures are in store for Raimundo and Rapunzel.

Hope this is to both your liking, @runningracingdancingchasing and @xiaolindude and it was a lot of fun coming up with these scenarios to bring your roleplay to life.

❛  no matter what happens, you'll always have me.  ❜ (for clay ;-;)

Platonic Starters - Accepting

There was a time, years and years ago, when Clay's distracted funk had been caused by Raimundo. But that time was long buried, and Clay refused to ever unearth it again. It didn't matter. It was in the past, and his friend and leader had really stepped up in the years after, proving that the angry kid who had betrayed the Xiaolin Monks was long gone.

Now, though, the whittling knife trembled in Clay's hand, threatening to decapitate the little statue he was carving of himself. Just like all those years ago. It was telling that, when things got really bad, Clay blamed himself. He always ended up carving the man he wished he was, and when the bottled up emotions were strong enough, skilled hands that were usually so gentle would do irreparable harm to the wooden version of himself.

He looked up at Rai, glad that his blond hair and the wide brim of his hat did most of the emotion hiding for him.

"Thanks, partner," he murmured, the ache in his chest more profound than he cared to admit. "And you'll always have me, too. Brothers til the end."

@runningracingdancingchasing asked:🍒 + @xiaolindude

send  me  🍒  +  a  url  and  i  will  write  some  positivity  for  them. (accepting)

charlie! i've written with charlie for years, and i've always enjoyed her take on raimundo and how much she's developed him as a character with her headcanons and her writing! a lovely person as well, and i'm so happy to have had the opportunity to write with charlie and to consider charlie a friend! the xiaolin fandom is so much brighter and bigger with her in it <3

[chainsxwsmile]

I’ve a feeling that even if Bruce has more or less sided himself with Jack (if only to the point where he makes sure the kid doesn’t get himself killed), the big guy has a habit of befriending everyone and anyone, and that includes the “Xiaolin nerds”

❛  this feels like a terrible, terrible idea.  ❜    //  @xiaolindude | accepting | meme. 

Turning around ever so slightly to peer over her shoulder,  she smirked lightly in Rai’s direction.   A small breath of a laugh passed her lips,  and she lowered her arms from reaching into the cabinet, though she didn’t step down from the little stool she needed to actually reach the shelf.    “Don’t tell me you’re being such a....     rejective Rai.”   Her horribly failed attempt at making a negative Nancy pun but with Rai’s name.   Clearly,  she had some work to do with it.    “Come on,  don’t you think for a second that I’m going to let you sit around here all night alone,  all by yourself,  doing nothing but staring absent-mindedly at the wall.   Or whatever is on TV.”   Not that he had a habit of doing either of those things,  and Rapunzel never liked to think of the glass half-empty,  but if she could prevent that from happening, then she would.    “Besides,   terrible ideas often lead to really fun stories.   Don’t they?”

The tighter he held her, the better she felt. She'd never had an argument like this, and she was only just learning that you could fight with someone and have them be the one to comfort you afterward. Maybe this wouldn't have worked last night, but it was working now.

At the sensation of his kiss, she felt like her heart was thrumming in her chest, jump started by the simple, sweet contact. She looked up at him, her green eyes searching his a moment, as the urge to make this all better quickly grew stronger and stronger. And then she threw caution out the window and kissed him. It was light and sweet, giving him ample opportunity to pull away if he wasn't here yet, but if she was reading him right, he was.

She very much needed to make it up to him somehow. He'd let her take pictures of him, and he was letting her hold him and possibly kiss him. She was finding herself more in love with him than ever before, possibly because of the fight, which didn't make sense, but here it was.

runningracingdancingchasing​:

Honestly, a part of her hadn’t expected him to take comfort from her. He’d allowed her to share his bed last night, to hold him, but had kept his back to her the whole time. She’d been surprised then that he’d allowed her nearness and her contact. Now, she was even more surprised that he accepted her comfort so willingly. When his grip on her tightened, so did hers on him.

How could she have hurt him so carelessly? He didn’t deserve to be spoken to the way she had. For a moment, she gripped his hair, then released, giving him a tighter squeeze as she did before resuming her back rub.

“I love you. More than I’ve ever loved anyone.” Even herself. There was no denying that. She wouldn’t even try to. What would be the point of such a boldfaced lie?

It had been a difficult few days. Of course it had. You couldn’t be almost kidnapped - in her case - or shot in the head - in his case - without going through a shit time afterwards trying to process it all. 

He couldn’t blame her for lashing out, could he? Not really. Not when she was recovering from the shock and the fear, the worry about him, all of it. She hadn’t meant what she’d said. She’d been angry at her father, at the situation itself, not at him, and he kept reminding himself of that. Her words would continue to sting him for a while longer but the feeling was already beginning to fade in the wake of her apologies and her comfort. 

This already felt better. This was them. Holding each other in his kitchen, murmuring nice things to one another… Her grip on his hair had him leaning closer into her, hugging her tighter, his embrace fierce. He’d missed her while they’d been fighting. God, he hated fighting with her like that. 

“I know you do,” he murmured, pressing his lips into her hair with a sigh. “I love you, too. S’okay…”

There was a building on the grounds where all the mystical Shen Gong Wu were kept, and Lance was determined to see it with his own eyes. See the inside. The outside was perfectly visible. It was right over there.

It wasn't like he wanted to take any of them! Just... look at them! Maybe mess around a little bit! So, in the dead of night, he climbed quietly out of bed and began to sneak. He might not be a martial artist, but he was a master thief. (Again, not planning on stealing the Shen Gong Wu. Not in the traditional sense, at least.)

Keeping to the shadows, he made his way across the grounds, eyes always on the prize. It was surprising, though, when the next step he took didn't take him any closer. Or the one after that. Or the one after that.

"Nuh-uh," Raimundo told him, holding fast to the back of his shirt. "Back to bed."

Let's Go To the Beach, Beach!

Can you believe I haven't drawn these two since Christmas? What is wrong with me? Another pic of @xiaolindude's and my beloved ship to go with those summer vibes. (IDK about you, but it's way too hot here this week.)

Things I love about this picture:

the lighting

her shirt

his hair

his expression at that angle

I probably spent an hour yesterday just finding things I wanted to tweak and tweaking them.

[sheslipsaway]

“Hey!”  she shouted as she followed him,  eyebrows lightly raising with a shake of her head.   In her hand was a piece of wrapping paper,  and though she couldn’t confirm or deny if he was the one who’d let it fall to the ground,  he was the closest one to it.    So in August’s head,  he was guilty by association.   “Do you even know how harmful this is to the turtles?!   If they mistake this as food,  they could die;  do you want that on your hands?”     // @xiaolindude liked for a starter  

[runningracingdancingchasing]

Rapunzel's breath caught, and her mouth made a little 'o' of surprise. Her hand automatically moved to cover his, but she just looked at him, disbelieving.

"That's what impresses you?" she finally managed. "Well, damn! If I'd known that, I'd have been more forward sooner!"

It was a relief, really, and she grinned now, her cheeks a little pink with embarrassment. "I'm still gonna put in some thought and effort, though. You know how hard I work at things I care about."

He laughed outright at that, big and loud. She was rambling, taking it far more seriously than he would ever expect her to, and it was sweet and silly. She was awesome.

"You already impressed me," he chuckled, shaking his head in amusement and something bordering on disbelief. "You're hot and you asked me out. You know weird facts about fish. I'm already impressed." He reached over to drop his hand into her lap, giving her knee a quick squeeze.

Can you analyse raimundo and kimikos relationship, in your opinion?

Oh, wow, this is unexpected! lol I don't often get analytical asks. And I'm gonna be honest, I've only watched XS all the way through twice, the first time to understand the world that @xiaolindude's muse (Rai) was coming from, and once to get a better handle on Clay before I started RPing as him. A lot of the opinions I have, I've adopted from other people who like it and have much stronger opinions than me.

To me, in the canon of XS (I haven't watched XC and don't intend to), Rai has a crush on Kimiko, and that's it. She doesn't reciprocate, but she's not put off by it. He has a tendency to have his head turned (sometimes literally and painfully-looking) by any pretty girl who happens across his path. They're both kids, they both have a lot of growing to do, and Rai doesn't strike me as the sort to sit around and let an unrequited crush linger. Maybe he eventually asks her out and she says no, and that's that.

But at any rate, they strike me as best friends. He's got a lot of siblings that we know nothing about, and I see him as largely viewing the other monks as his extended family - more siblings to throw onto the already huge pile.

positivity for xiaolindude : I’d like to give a shout to @xiaolindude !! for not only being one of my favorite people on this website, or for being one of the best people on this site in general, but for being a wonderful writer and creator. The pure love she has for her muse is just so admirable and you can tell that so much love, care, and thought is put into not just her writing but with everything she does!!
