Well, hello! Here's a little treat for @pearlescent-poppies as part of the @mcyt-summer-of-yuri! I hope you like it! ^^
"I'll be your house when your roof starts leaking <3" - It Gets Better, Bears in Trees (it's just cute and it fits :3)
-
The queen of Gilded Helianthia landed at the base of the winding stairs leading to the magnificent Prisma Palace of the Ocean Empire with great grace. She brushed down her dress, neatly folded her golden wings and began the ascent to the top of the tower. Granted, it would have been far quicker to simply fly to the top, but, well, she was a bit of a stickler for politeness.
“Lizzie? Lizzie, are you here?” she called, wandering about a bit. She waited, but there was no response. She wrinkled her nose in disappointment, telling herself that she would have to make her desired trade another time, and was just about to take off when she heard a cough.
A cough? Pearl wondered for a moment whether she was hearing things, but no, there promptly came another.
“Hello? Anyone there?” She followed the direction it had come from, her footsteps echoing on the prismarine floor. (A/N, I know it's not prismarine, but I can't remember what it is :’D) She crossed the bridge to the smaller tower of the two that made up the Prisma Palace, and after some hesitation, pushed aside the curtain of kelp that marked the Ocean Queen’s private quarters. “Queen Lizzie?”
Pearl took a small, surprised intake of breath. For the mighty, powerful queen of the ocean, renowned throughout the empires for her unmatched strength, knife-sharp intelligence and effortless intimidation - was curled in a ball on her bed, sniffling like a child with a cold.
“Queen Pearl! A- ah. A pleasure to see you, as always. What can I do for you?”
“Are you alright?”
“Me? Yes, perfectly.” The axolotl-hybrid wiped her nose with her arm in a rather unladylike fashion, standing up hurriedly, before stumbling, falling back onto her bed and swearing under her breath. Pearl’s compassionate nature took over, and she leaned in to feel her forehead. She did not notice Lizzie flush an even darker shade of red.
“Goodness, you're boiling! ‘Perfectly fine’? You're sick as anything! I'd say a fever, if you're lucky.”
Lizzie groaned, covering her face in her hands. “Please don't tell anyone. I have a reputation to uphold.”
“Your reputation is the least of your concerns right now, madam!”
“Excuse you! I am a respected queen-”
“Yeah, well, so am I. But I have medical training, and right now, you're my patient. So you are going to stay right here while I fly back to Gilded Helianthia and get my kit. Got it?”
Lizzie frowned, looking as though she was going to protest again, but then huffed and curled into a ball. “Please try not to be long.”

Thinking about Weird Barbie and how she's the very obviously queer outsider of the Barbie world, she straddles the lines between Barbie and the Real World. She's the most aware of the performative nature of it all. She supports Barbie while also gently mocking her panic at losing the hyperfeminine perfection. Her weird house is also home to the discontinued reject weird Barbies, the outcasts (including very gay earring Ken) who never fell into either the original matriarchy or the Kentriarchy brainwashing.
The other more classically heteronormative and beautiful Barbies both pity and fear her, and at first the narrative pities her as well. She's the vessel of girls going weird and crazy and feral on their dolls and that's amazing. Weird Barbie is aware of who she is and how the world sees her and she loves it. She's Weird Barbie and She Owns It.

I'm like 90% sure if I don't get more of your ghost au I may just implode so like 🥺👉👈
not necessarily my AU but i ended up drawing smth based on a scene from @novethegreat's fic, "In Love With A Ghost". ooohhhh you wanna read it so bad ooooohh
+more google doc delusions ive had in my head for a long time and havent been possessed to draw under the cut please work god please
i like to think once yosuke gets over the whole undead roommate thing he starts to feel bad for leaving yu at home all day. (like a pet dog.....) so at some point he invites chie and yukiko over. maybe it’s a study session. but at first yukiko can’t make it so it’s just chie. yosuke tells yu to stay put in the room since chie is scared of ghosts (just like yosuke she’ll never admit it though lol). chie says that she and yukiko have been working on a new recipe and offers to cook which yosuke shoots down Very quickly, offering to cook himself, since a "friend" of his has been teaching him-- he very conveniently leaves out the whole undead roommate thing. but when he’s preparing the food he accidentally cuts his finger. yu forgets what he’s told and rushes through the walls into the kitchen scaring chie on accident.
yosuke: OW shit
yu: (phasing through the wall) yosuke! are you ok?
chie: yosuke! are youuuuuuUUUUAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
yukiko, the occult lover, is unable to see/hear ghosts… but when she hears abt "OHHH HANAMURAS APT IS HAUNTED ITS SO SCARY ITS AWFUL!!! i mean the ghost didnt kill me or anything he was actually pretty polite but its AWFUL!!!!!!" from chie, she gets sooo excited and begs yosuke to invite her over (for the ghost obviously not for yosuke. which is a bit of a blow to his ego LOL). and she comes in with a ouija board so she can talk to yu
yukiko: so. where is it?
yosuke: his name is yu. damn, not even a hello.
yukiko: well, where is he?
yosuke: …right over there.
yu tries to play along bc he thinks its fun, to yosukes exasperation. however he has trouble staying solid for very long so it takes foreverrrrr. but basically i think yu and yukiko writing each other notes to communicate like point blank pen pals would be cute… also when the others are around who can hear yu, playing telephone with what he says to yukiko and fucking it up (on accident OR on purpose) would be rly funny
