I can't believe you're a Chrono fan, too! //sobs// Do you have a fave character from them? Frog is my fave from Trigger, and in Cross, I'm incapable of playing any track that doesn't feature Razzly. She's my bae, but then again, so is Harle.

In a million years, I don't think I would have expected anyone to answer "corvid" to my animal question. I LOVE it!

I also love your little dream farm. I will stop by it and buy a few candles for my treehouse, too, because that's also where I live. I think between the Ewoks, Lothlórien elves, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves treehouse setup, I was destined to live amongst the trees. Please put lots of peppermint in my soaps and candles though so I can keep the spiders away. I hate spiders. :(

The Shoot Out styling was IN-SANE, agree.

GRAY HAIR WONNIE IS MY FAVE, TOO, followed closely by long black hair Wonnie. <3

Of all the boys, I think Jooheon pulls of blonde the best, yes. But I have to tell you that I am very angry with this image of him you shared because a boy in a white tee and jeans is probably my greatest weakness, and then you had to up the ante with a full-blown dimples smile, too? Are you *trying* to kill me, friendo?

Okay, so, I'm in a weird mood and feel like lobbing another bizarre hypothetical at you, so good luck with this unhinged reality...

You and Hyungwon are planning a heist. Help me fill in the blanks.

What are you robbing: a museum, a jewelry store, a billionaire's house, a Fortune 500 company?

Why: money, rebellion, vengeance, justice?

You need one other member on your team. Who do you pick from Monsta X and why?

Are you the inside man, the getaway driver, or the distraction?

Leading up to the big day, your nerves are getting the better of you. How do you show it?

After the heist, you get the hell outta Dodge. Where in the world do you hide out? Do you and your team stay together or do you all go your separate ways?

What do you do with your loot once you know you've gotten away scot-free?

Told you, weird mood. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hope you had a killer weekend!

xoxo mbb secret santa <3

Hello friend!! It's been kind of a rough week for me, so I'm glad to hear from you. Your asks always make me smile ❤️

Okay, listen. Don't judge me, but way back when I first played Chrono Cross, for some reason I shipped Karsh and Norris like it was my JOB?? So I'm very partial to them, but I also love Harle and Riddel too. Razzly is SO GOOD, you are 100% correct to pick her.

Also I'm sorry about that Jooheon pic, let me make it up to you with another one haaaahahahahaha ❤️❤️

Okay, on to the hypothetical!

So we're definitely robbing a billionaire's house and it's to recover gems that were stolen and sold to the billionaire on the black market. Who were they stolen from? I don't know, pick your favorite! I'm partial to "they were stolen from colonized people and we're like fucking Robin Hood, here to take them back".

It's gonna be me, Hyungwon, and Changkyun (because he knows how to keep quiet and its basically impossible to shake him). I'm the planner/inside man - the billionaire hired me six months ago as a personal secretary and I've been scoping the place out, making plans, and recruiting. Changkyun is our distraction because I think he can keep a straight face while he pretends to be an investor in some scheme the billionaire has going on. Hyungwon is going to help me execute the heist and then get us tf out of there.

I tend to get short tempered when I'm nervous, so I can definitely see picking a fight with Changkyun because I don't think he'd put up with me lol. Hyungwon would have to play peace keeper for sure.

But of course we'd pull it off and then head up to a cabin I had conveniently purchased at least two years prior to the heist (in anticipation of needing a hideout but also just bc I love a nice quiet cabin up in the mountains) and hide out for a while. The place would be close enough to a small town that I could get supplies, and the town would be small enough that the people there wouldn't trust any outsiders that came around (especially since I already got in good with them when I bought the cabin) so we'd wait for the heat to die down and then quietly return the jewels to their rightful owners. Who, you know, aren't obligated to give us a reward but they would anyway. Happy ending!

Hope you had a great day today! I can't wait for your next ask! 😊

I don't think I've ever told you how much I love chapters 2 and 4 of your fic Touching. There's something so wholesome about the sensuality of it all. I get intense nostalgia every time I think about those chapters. Just wanted you to know how much I cherish you.

Thank you, fam. That means a whole lot. I adore those chapters specifically too.

You got yer white noise, yer body worship, yer silent communication because loud water, yer skin all extra sensitive because cold and wet and warm and soft, yer less than the full amount of clothes because wet, yer very mild but still totally counts hurt/comfort, yer long wet hair which has all different sensations from skin, yer be as loud as you want no one can hear us anyway... it's a whole smorgasbord of touch and senses.

Water is fab, okay. Just, very nice feels. My fave element. You can very specifically blame the year I lived in Hawaii at the tender age of 14 for those two chapters, and for my perennial habit of dunking hot white-haired elves in the nearest pool so they can ponder exquisitely important things. Once you live where the water is that warm, there's really no excuse not to float around in it at every opportunity and think deep thoughts. Waterfalls, ocean, pools, it's all good.

I just. Love water. A lot.

#asks #my fics #literary theory: so water means emotions and sex #my autistic ace ass: but have you considered... it feels really neat

[benisalilbitch]

For the fuck scale: Avallac'h, Ge'els, and Iorveth. What can I say, elf fucker edition!

I'm so sorry I took so long, but I'm back and thank you so much!!

Elf Fuck Scare Edition is my jam. I just love those fancy fuckers.

Finally I will rate my last fave and some very gorgeous elfs.

(I will not rate Iorveth bc I have no idea who he is, BUT I saw pics and will definitely say that I will totally fuck this badass mf.)

Avallac'h

Holy shit yes. I have no words for how thirsty I am for this fucker. Will fucking bang. 15/10

Your hair looks so sexy pushed back. Geralt, will you please tell him his hair looks sexy pushed back?

*Geralt grumbling*: Your hair looks sexy pushed back.

The second I saw Avallac'h I was speechless. I just couldn't deal with how fucking hot this elf was and my God. He is just the most gorgeous elf in the entire game and you can fight me on that. My bae is so damn powerful, sassy and he has that sickening look that I just love.

Avallac'h is one powerful, hot, sassy son of a bitch. I do have a thing for elves, but this particularl elf? Holy, and I cannot stress this enough, fuck.

The first moment you see this fucker he's half naked and already has smokey eyes. Just when you thought it couldn't get better, he starts talking and my whole heart just stopped working. I have absolutely no idea how can someone think of a character this perfect, but I thank them.

Avallac'h is Daddy material and my bae Olgierd and him will have to share and I will be more than happy to let them. My gorgeous elf gives absolutely 0 fucks, except when it comes to Ciri. My hot elf is also very nice (at least in the games) and he is very patient with Ciri and holy shit isn't he patient with that dumb witcher? I admire how calm he always is, because I would've lost my shit a while ago.

Geralt should definitely get some makeup tips from Avallac'h because damn. His cheekbones? Snatched. His eyes? Smokey. His nose? Contoured. This bitch is the true beauty guru of The Witcher 3 and the other elves wish they could with their messy eyeliners.

That scene where Geralt catches Avallac'h looking at some printed nudes? That was so fucking gay and so fucking hot and I have absolutely no idea how the two of them didn't bang right there, even more because one of them was already on the bed and the other one is a slut. I know I would've fucked that elf already, no need to ask me twice.

My boy just knows everyone is looking at him whenever he steps into a room, 'cause how could you not? His clothes are nice af, his hair is perfectly styled and his walk is just pure confidence. We just love hot , classy elves and this fucker is exactly just that.

Avallac'h is definitely a strict dom and I would just die in the spot if he praised me with that sweet voice of his. I will 100% do whatever he wants as long as he keeps talking to me because I just can't get over how hot his voice is. It's deep, but not to deep and it's also very sweet and soft.

I will tell Avalac'h that he smells wonderful at a funeral, since no one else bothered to, and then I will fuck him in a cool world while Geralt does his dumb witcher things.

Ge'els

Tall elf, with white hair and creepy eyes? Hell yeah, will bang. 13/10

We meet Ge'els only for a bit, but I'm just a sucker for tall dudes with long hair and he is just that. My boy is also sassy af and I love how he and Geralt just bicker with each other about Vodka because, why not? They are both dumb and I love it.

He's very loyal and just like all the other elves, he has this gorgeous stoic face that I'm in love with. Also his voice is very nice, but apparently all elves have the hottest voices that you can find in this blessed game and I love it.

Elves clearly dress to impress and Ge'els looks fly af. I just adore his outfit and his entire vibe. He is classy af and I'm a sucker for men in nice clothes.

Ge'els can paint me naked anytime he wants, as long as he gets naked too... And if we forget about the painting, that's no one's bussiness.

Send me The Witcher 3 characters and I'll rate them along with my thot thoughts.

(All the ratings are linked in my blog)

D&D Character Origin

Around the mountain forest, a shadow was cast above it all. There, a bronze dragon has flown up to the heavens. A Wood Elf lies on the rooted earth. Its eyes heavily open, as if it slept for decades. It sees a bright ray of light, shining in its left view

The visual irritation caused it to move its body. No clothing to separate its bare self to the wilderness. The elf felt small, muti-pins moving on its shoulder. It flung it and saw the green worm flying across the tree as it sits up and scoots away from it.

Keeping its distance, the elf swiftly stands on its toes as it climbed the tree trunk. A spark of fear shivers in the elf's bones. It then steps forward, but stumbles face down when it let go of the bark. Its fave was covered in dirt and some bits of it were swallowed. The elf positioned its leg at a 90° angle and pushes the knee down to stand up again.

The elf wanders through the forest to find various things. The fruits that are sweet with every bite, birds, and critters scaring the elf, the rains that gave it the cold, and the nights spent under the stars. For many moons and suns has it been since. And then the elf stumbled upon a human.

It was badly injured. Some parts are white and brown, but the rest are red as blood, scratches that cut deep, the arm applying pressure to the wound, and bruises on its face, and the elf was terrified. It had never seen such injuries. It seen animals being killed by other animals, but up close would be traumatising to see. The human moved its arm to the elf, and then it crouched to its knees and cover its face.

Confused as to why nothing happened yet, the elf look at the human and it said "Are you lost? Would you like some help?" Still frightened, the elf can't understand what he said. It looked up and their eyes meet. Starting, the elf sees its eyes are calm and gentle.

Not sure what to do, the elf turns to its hand and slowly reaches out to it. It places its hand on the human's, gently. It then lifts its arm up for it to stand. "It's okay, my home is not too far from here." It walks ahead as it holds the elf's hand from behind while still applying pressure on the wound.

After a long time of walking, they arrived at a strange, tall, large tree made of stone, the leaves were color red, and the branches seem to be larger and flatter than the others in weird areas and directions. There are large ones that go through each other in multiple crosses, and there are flat ones that are on the stone areas of the tree and they're in a different crossing pattern than the large ones. There seems to be a couple of smaller ones, that look like it, sticking out as well.

The human takes the elf to a large rectangular, wooden part of the stone tree and uses its had, which was applying pressure, to pull it out. They entered the tree. The human lets go of the elf's hand while it looks around. The elf sees many different things in the tree it entered. It saw what a tree looked like at first, but nothing compares to what it sees.

There are orange lights around it, wood that's in different shapes and sizes, and a long shiny stone on the wooden wall. The elf hears a chirp, that's louder than a bird, from behind. The elf jumped as a spark of fear occurred in its bones, again. It turns in the direction of the chirp and sees the human.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that." It then hands out a round wooden container full of fruit and placed it on top of a wooden, rectangular block. The elf swiftly walks towards the fruit and eats them to the core. As it was eating, the elf noticed something different about the human.

Its colors are different and aren't red anymore. Its bruise and scratches are gone as well. The elf reaches over to touch where the red and violet spots are. The human got startled. It swiftly stepped away. Leaning backed to make sure the elf doesn't make any finger contact. "Hey... What are you doing?" Said the human. The elf then dropped the fruit and walk around the woodblock to get closer.

There was no escape, the elf caught the human face with its bare hands. It rubs the face with its thumb. The elf uses its other hand to feel the other locations where. It feels all over the human until it sees an opening in on its skin. It was found above the legs. The elf puts its hand in and feels a soft-yet hard spot. It feels a little bit hairy, but the elf doesn't have hair on the body.

The human shivers as the hand touch everything. Eventually, the hand finds another hole that leads to the human's head. The elf finds out that the first hole is bigger and goes around the body. Curious, the elf takes opposite ends of it and pulls up to see if it can be removed. Without hesitation, it strongly lifts it up and it is removable.

The human's arms were up above its head. "Why the hell did you do that for?!" It roared. The elf covers its nose and mouth with the removed skin. Then there was another sound, it came from above the left of the elf and sees, what seems to be, a smaller human. "Brother, you're back already-" its sound, which was higher than the one in front, was cut off as it sees the elf and other human. It roared a louder sound. The sound was so high that it felt like it was thinning.

After the tall human interacted with the smaller one, they do everything to teach the elf how to speak and understand them. Everything starts off small, from sounds to symbols, to words, to sentences. The elf learned to speak, read, count, and write within twenty-five days.

Throughout those twenty-five days, the elf doesn't have a name. It learned the humans' names from day four. And clothing at day six. The tall one is named Michael, and the little one is named Adrian. They only refer to the wood elf as 'Elf', but not a proper name. Adrian felt sad, so it asked Michael to come up with one. Michael was reading a book that was in a different language. It randomly picked one and it stumbled upon "Skógr" Adrian agreed and liked the name a lot.

"S-Sk-Skó-gr?" said the elf. "That will be your name from now on," said Michael with a smile. Skógr then smiled back and embraced Michel.

After several days, Skógr learned about gender, family, and age. Michael is the eldest child and is a male, while Adrian is the youngest child and is a female. "So..." Skógr speaks, "You're the brother" pointing at Michael, "and you're the sister" pointing at Adrian.

Being proud of Skógr, they clap together with a smile. "Hey brother, you've seen Skógr naked. Do you know what gender he is?" embarrassed, he shakes Adrian as punishment for asking that question. He was surprised to meet Skógr, but he brought the elf home without knowing anything about that.

Skógr looked down to the floor and said "Umm..., Actually, I want to be both male and female" Both were shocked, they didn't know anyone would want to be both. "What about Non-Binary?" asked Michael. "It's a third option. It also means you can be both male and female, by choice" Once again, Skógr hugs him for his kindness. "I love it!" They said.

Time goes on and Skógr learns a lot of things. The three of them live in a small library where adventures and others come to read books and study. Skógr is allowed to read any book since they live here, but they're not allowed to take other books from others unless they put them back or return them.

Adrian runs the library, making sure everything is clean and organized. Michael is a hunter and gatherer. He hunts and gathers food and materials in the wild, and sells them as a service provider. During nights, Skógr helps Michael with the food. With hunting extras for food, whatever they both make in the kitchen is delicious. Skógr made breakfast for everyone three times.

Whenever they weren't cooking, Skógr likes to go through books and learn more about his Wood Elf self. The two siblings told them what they know about Wood Elves, and they read books about Wood Elves. One day, when Michael told Skógr to get Adrian down for a meal, they don't find Adrian in her room.

What they did find, was a small wooden object with strings. Upon closer inspection, it seems that it has some kind of pins holding the strings in place in one end and stretches to the other. It was just hanging on Adrian's bedroom wall. It looks like it hasn't been touched for a while. It was just ther, gathering dust. Skógr takes if from the wall, brings it to Michael down stairs and asks what it is.

He said it is a Viol, it belonged to their father. Michael taught Skógr how to play and soon, Adrian taught them how to master it. Some nights, Skógr loved to play the Viol on top of trees. Sometimes Adrian and Michael could hear them playing, including other residents but they don't mind because it was such a beautiful tune.

Skógr got hired as a bard in one of the local taverns when the owner heard the sound that danced her heart out. They worked for day and night and earned good payments. Everyday, Skógr comes home with 90-180 copper peaces. Adrian and Michael were struggling a little bit to provide, but this is a great deal for them. With that, Skógr took multiple shifts of the week. From noon to night, from dusk to midnight, and from morning to dusk.

When Skógr left after the night shift, they arrived home with no one in the library. Candles and lanterns are still lit. Usually, Adrian waits for them on the desk, but no one is there. Perhaps she's at the back with Michael. Skógr locks the front door and blows out the flames. They went to the back and see no one at all. They start to worry about their disappearance. They check their rooms and there was nobody there. They last saw each other when Skógr left for the shift.

Skógr then used a spell that allows them to recite what happened in the past. They found out that the two of them went out with hunting gear. They only went out together when Michael got a large order or a valuable trade that cost a small fortune. The question is, why did the leave? Why did Adrian leave the candles lit? Why didn't they leave a note? And, why aren't they backed yet?

The next day, Skógr asked the locals if they've seen the two. Another day has gone by and they haven't come back. Ten days went by and the building is empty as ever. Adrian talked to Skógr about joining a party, but they refused because they have their family.

Skógr then made a sign for the front door and a note for the inside. The note says "I'm out looking for my family" and the front sign says "The library is shut down until the family is back home." They gathered equipment, leaves the note, locks the doors, hangs the sign, and heads out to find them.

About Gwyneth

I can’t figure out how to make pages on mobile (if you even can? I’ve tried desktop view but it won’t let me scroll down to pages…), so for now I’ll put Gwyn’s profile here… I tried to censor the faceclaim/voiceclaim names so this (hopefully!!) won’t show up in search where people want to find stuff about their faves, not my irrelevant OC… I’m really sorry if it showed up there anyway, or in any other non-hprp related searches 😯

Name: Gwyneth Skeffington. Nicknames: Gwyn, Gwynnie, Skeffie, Badger… and some “inside joke” nicknames from her closest friends. Gender: Female. Sexuality: Bisexual. Age/Year: 18/7th Year in main verse. Birthday: TBD. Zodiac: TBD. House: Hufflepuff. Blood status: Pureblood. Nationality: Welsh. Boggart: Fire. Patronus Black mare. Wand Chestnut wood, unicorn hair core, 13", very flexible. Faceclaim: $@r@h F!$her. Voiceclaim: Du££¥ (speaking voice only, Gwyn is a fair bit less skilled at singing).

Appearance Her most noticeable physical trait would have to be her long, strawberry blonde hair, which often gets commented on - her favourite would have to be a Honeydukes clerk’s exclamation, “My dear, you have hair the colour of warm ginger!” In previous years, Gwyn let her hair remain in it’s naturally wavy state all the time, though recently she’s begun to wear it straight. Another thing people notice about Gwyn is that she’s quite tall - taller than the girls in her year, even taller than some of the boys- and thin, despite the incredible amounts of sweets she consumes. Along with freckles scattered all over her face, Gwyn has seven little moles - above her left eyebrow, in the corner of her left eye, both cheeks, the lower part of her left cheek, and above the right side of her lip, and on the left side of her chin. As for her sense of style - Gwyn, honestly, doesn’t have much interest in keeping up with trends, particularly expensive ones, though she does like fashion, to an extent. She most often goes for a cardigan-and-skirt (or dress) with tights, and owns mostly pastel-coloured clothing (particularly lavender, her favourite colour; or some shade of yellow, for house rep). As her family doesn’t have a lot of spending money, most of her clothes are either secondhand or homemade, something she used to get teased about in her first two years, and even beyond sometimes, though she doesn’t care any more… well, not as much. Gwyn likes to express her enthusiasm for the holidays through her style, whether she’ll go all-out in a red-and-pink heart-patterned ensemble for Valentine’s day, or simply adding a white bow headband with her uniform for Easter. Sometimes, she’ll make matching accessories for her pygmy puffs, Gar and Rae.

Skills & Interests Best subjects: Care of Magical Creatures, Charms, Transfigurations. Worst subjects: Divinations, astronomy, arithmancy. Non-magical skills: Skilled at horseriding, dancing, gymnastics, running, climbing, swimming, and baking. She also enjoys drawing, singing, arts and crafts, and playing guitar. Languages: Fluent English, fluent Welsh, intermediate Swedish, absolute beginner’s Japanese. Quidditch: She’s decent enough at each position, though not good enough at any of them to earn a spot on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, though she’s an enthusiastic supporter. Fan of the Holyhead Harpies, the Welsh National Quidditch team, and the Nordic National Quidditch team.

Family * Mother - Ruby Skeffington (nee Sundstrand), born in England to Swedish parents, Hogwarts alumni (Hufflepuff house). Soft-spoken and kind-hearted. Was painfully shy during her time at Hogwarts, but grew up to be much more confident. * Father - Jaston Skeffington, born in Wales, Hogwarts alumni (Ravenclaw house). Values education, and is an avid Quidditch fan. Gwyn would say, “he knows everything about everything”. * Siblings - Benyamin Skeffington, age 8. Much adored baby bro/best friend. Shares his father’s Quidditch obsession and his sister’s love of magical creatures.

Pets * Midnight - a five-year-old red eyed white rat, purchased the month before Gwyn started her first year at Hogwarts. * Gar - a three-year-old green pygmy puff given to her as a Christmas present from a friend on a Hogsmeade Weekend in her third year. * Rae - a two-year-old blue pygmy puff given to her as a present from her grandmother the summer before she’d start her fourth year. * Mr. Handsome - an owl given to her by the school as part of an Advanced Charms Club project. Gwyn taught him to become a post owl and the two became inseparable.

Misc * Gwyneth is a vegetarian (her parents are not), and she has been since she started at Hogwarts. * Every second Christmas day, the Skeffingtons go up to Sweden to visit her mother’s side of the family and return home on the 1st of January. The other Christmases are spent in Holyhead with her father’s side of the family, though they only stay for Christmas day. * On Christmas break of her third year, Gwyn spent a few days in Japan with two Slytherin friends. That’s where she learnt the (very small amount of) Japanese she knows. * She has seen two Muggle movies (The Wizard of Oz and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) and played - well, watched a friend play - one Muggle game, Katamari Damacy. All during visits to Halfblood or Muggleborn friend’s houses. She has also seen a very confusing live performance of Grease, mistakenly called Oil, performed by her Muggle Studies professor and some house elves. * Gwyn has multiple hiding spots around Hogwarts where she stashes sweets - or, if the hiding spot is big enough, a place to just hide from the world for a little while. None of these places include the room of requirement, however - which she is yet to discover. * She writes with a rainbow quill most of the time. If in a class with a not-so-lenient professor, she’ll stick to a black quill (and her work will suffer slightly.) * Owns several notebooks - yellow-and-black notebooks for classes, and purple ones for drawing, sending notes, and jotting down thoughts, ideas and reminders. * Her best friend is a fellow 8th Year Hufflepuff named Bronwen McKinney. Bron’s parents own a bakery, and the McKinney family taught Gwyn all she knows about baking.

Writing prompt thing: 2, 3, 36 with Jack, Jacqueline, Dite and (possibly) Elle?

(”You’re too young to hate the world”, “I don’t want your pity, I want your absence”, and “Everything was fine, until you showed up.” Let’s see what fresh hell I have wrought >:D)

“Everything was fine until you showed up,”Jacqueline shouted, turning red.

“Because I’m winning now?” Jack asked, smirking.

A frustrated noise was all Jacqueline could muster.

“Guys,” Elle said, sounding exasperated.“It’s been eight hours since we started this. You two have been at thisfor five hours.”

“I’m losing my mind,” Dite said. Her wings wereover her head, her hair falling out of its ponytail.  "Jacqueline, can’t you just–“

“Just what Dite? Loose? NO! I had this game under wrapsuntil he waltzed in. I warned you, Elle, I told you he would ruin it!”

“Your exact words were ‘Elle don’t let him play he’sgonna want to steal the car from me’ not ‘don’t let him play because he’ll winthe game from me and I’ll be too stubborn to just let him win’. Had I known hewould bankrupt us all within two hours, I would’ve thrown him from the roommyself.”

“Gee, thanks Elle.”

“Shut up,” she replied.

“I didn’t steal the car from you though, sister dear. That’s gottacount for something at least, right?” Jack tried.

“That’s only because nobody was using the tophat! And don’t you sister dear me!”

Jack shrugged. “I am a fan of top hats.” He paused for a moment, tapping his chin in thought. “Listen Jacqueline, I feel a bit bad about this wholesituation.”

“And I’m Mother Nature,” she spat back.

“No truly, I do. Scout’s honour. I promise. So let mecut you some slack, hmm?”

“I don’t want your pity, Jack. I want your absence.”

“Ouch! That was below the ice.”

“That was below the ice,” she mocked. Ellesnorted.

“Wow,” Jack said. “You are absolutelyincorrigible today.”

“Well let’s see, shall we?” Jacqueline began.

“Oh dear,” Dite said, a feather falling off as herwings covered her eyes.

“An hour into our game you waltz in here and join in. You manage to gain the wealth, buy up all the property around me, youstole the BOARDWALK from me, bankrupt Dite and the Banker at the same time,and then proceeded to bleed me dry until I had to sell everything but this onelast hotel,” Jacqueline said. “So, yeah, I’m gonna be a little incorrigible today, you cur.”

“Cur? Incorrigible?”

“They do this when they get real heated, Els,”Dite said, one eye peaking out from behind her very ruffled wings. “Theystart using dated slang.”

“Oh boy,” Elle said, already at her wit’s end.

“I hate this, I hate everything, I don’t wanna dothis,” Jacqueline said, leaning back on the couch. “The world isawful,” she finished, hands covering her eyes.

“Awh Jacqueline, you’re too young to hate theworld,” Dite said.

“Tick tock, Jacqueline dear. Time is money.”

“Time is money,” she mocked again.

“Okay that’s seriously getting annoying,” Jack said.“Look, just sell the hotel!”

“It’s my last building!”

“It’ll save you from bankruptcy.”

“Yeah, for like one turn! Then I owe you rent!”

“Then I get the monopoly and I get to bury you rightbelow the permafrost,” Jack smirked.

“I hate you.” Jacqueline grabbed the edge of thetable, knuckles turning white.

“You don’t mean that.”

“No, I truly, truly mean that.”

“Jacquie, you’re frosting up my bank,” Elle said,frowning as the bills were covered in a layer of frost.

“I’m loosing my mind,” Dite said.

“Well what’s it gonna be, Jacqueline, hmm? Bankruptcy,or Jack winning Monopoly?”

“There’s gotta be a way for me to make acomeback.”

“Sure, if you’re using loaded dice.” Jack squinted. “Are you?”

“Are you?!”

“I can’t handle this anymore!” Dite said, shootingup fast. She grabbed the table and flipped it. The game board went flying,Elle’s frosty till landing all over her. The pieces went flying, some of theelves in the vicinity of the Testing Department getting hit in the head withthe tiny silver tokens.

“There! Problem solved!” Dite said, breathingrapidly, her feathers slowly falling back in place. She cleared her throat, and smiled.“Good game, yeah?”

“Yeah, absolutely,” Jacqueline said, Jack and Elletaking the cue from Jacqueline and nodding in agreement as the sprite got up. “Now how about we go get some icecream?”

“That sounds lovely,” Dite said, Jacquelineushering her out.

“Well that was…something,” Jack said, stillsitting cross legged on the floor, the gameboard and all of his properties inhis lap.

“You’re not playing next time,” Elle decided.

“Fair enough,” Jack agreed. “Fairenough.”

Dite can’t handle high tension, hehe.

I bet you expected angst, @mellomadness!! I fooled ya!! Granted, I also was thinking angst at first, with a brief thought of monopoly. Then back to angst. Then I started thinking comedy angle, and thought briefly of the Game of Life. Then @lovelypidge also thought Monopoly and I decided, what to heck, let me brush up on the rules and think of a scenario.

Jacqueline likes the racecar. Nobody knows why. She just likes it. Dite was the purse or the doggo, Jack the top hat (it’s his fave, he just likes to take the car from Jacquie to bug her) and Elle was the money bag since they elected her banker (which she wanted to do anyway because tbh, she doesn’t trust Jacqueline in a game of Monopoly if she really thinks about it, and also, Dite’s wings tend to mess up the order of things and if Elle had to play a whole game of Monopoly with a messy bank, she was going to scream).

Bonus shitpost courtesy of Ana:

Jacquie: Why moneybags Elle?

Elle: Because I’m banker and my wallet be thicc.

Jacquie: …forget that I asked.

Dite: What to heck is a thicc?

Jacquie: Please don’t ask Dite

#the santa clause #mellomadness #smile shots #Monopoly #Dani writes #crystal springs #tsc: crystal springs #jacqueline frost #aphrodite #elle #MAN THIS WAS WILD. #I had like 3 different angst scenarios #one couldn;t work bc Jack wasn't there #but the other two were like prime #but also mt brain was like COMEDY and I was like I AGREE so....well here u go #if you still want that angsty one holla at me #i'll happily write it :D

OK This is gonna be a bit. Morgoth(originally Melkor,) is a valar, made by Eru, the one. He and 13 other Valar came to earth after Morgoth tired of singing choir, and wanted to do rock--which made earth. So Manwë, and the good Valar, they are all trying to prepare the planet for the coming of the children of Eru, aka Immortal Butts, and Mortal Sods, dwarves came about because that Vala that's Sauron' father figure wanted to create life BUT when Eru said no, he went to destroy them. Part 1

Long ask under the readmore.

But then Eru’s all like,well you can keep them here I’ll give them souls since you didn’t mean toactually do this thing. During all this Melkor was destroying anything made byhis sibs, and making really tall MTs. So Sauron’s father figure Alue, makes thesetwo lamps to light the world one gold one silver. This is when Melkor may ormay not have given Sauron’(originally Mairon) sex to join the dark side. Part 2.

So Marion joins Melkorand destroys the lamps, sending the planet into darkness and rearranging thecontent in like, dozens instead of one huge one. The Valar move to Valinor,which they plant the Two Trees, and also ban mortal sods from entering—onlyelves yo. Skip forward a few bazillion years, Oromë, the hunter finds the elvesthey get split up on their long ass trek to Valinor and Finwë is crowned kingof the noldor, (there r other elven kings btw,) part 3?

Well Melkor I guess isbasically given free reign coz his twin is literally that dumb, and in Melkor’stravels in Valinor he finds this horrific elderich abomination, spider thingfrom the Void, named Ungoliant. She eats everything but Light is her fave. SoFeanor bugs his niece for a lock of her hair to make something she says no ucreepy uncle. He then makes the Silmarils anyway. Melkor sees these and wantsthem. Like, a sex deprived immortal Zeus that bad.

And Melkor goes toUngoliant and says, hey, baby there’s two trees that give off lots of light foru to eat. Ungoliant is like hell yeah, I’m in. So Ungoliant attacks the trees,eatting the light and the SAP, and killing the trees. This makes the elves allpanic as the light goes out. Melkor goes to Feanor’s house, where it’s supposedto be empty coz of panic and stuff and the Valar called a meeting to btw, BUTFINWË IS THERE. Melkor kills him. Part 6?

And after crushingFinwë’s body to a bloody pulp, (literally Melkor’s weapon of choice is aWarhammer.) Melkor takes the Silmarils. And then runs back to hislieutenant/lover?? No one’s quite sure… Ungoliant tries to eat Melkor beforerunning off to populate the planet with her offspring. Feanor and Sons returnhome to find dad/grandad dead and basically everything looted. Nolofinwë(Feanor’s bro) is equally upset, only Arafinwe (the YOUNGEST bro and leastliked parent wise,) is eh.

And This, when Feanorand Sons return to the dead trees does everything come into motion. FeanorRenames Melkor into Morgoth, AKA BLACK FOE OF THE WORLD, and Mairon is renamedSauron which means THE ABHORRED. The OATH OF FEANOR IS SPOKEN, a lot of the Noldorleave coz they r upset and stuff. And Namo curses them all to painful ends.This is basically chapters 1-3 I think? But yeah.

Thank you for your summary! I knew about the creation of Middle Earth, Eru, the Ainur, and the Valar, and the proceedings forthwith. But I hadn’t quite got to Ungoliant yet.To relate to your original question, I’m not entirely sure that the Diamonds would even need the Silmarils. White Diamond herself, uncorrupted and pure, is not a force to be sneezed at. And Pink Diamond had a lot of potential to match her strength. All four of them fused together would create a being of ridiculous power, quite aside from the rest of the armies. Still, I stand by my original statement. Just, no.

Impressions from TTM

Spoilers, spoilers everywhere. Just a big bulleted list of thoughts as I read through the graphic novel. Not a lot of detail included, so it’ll make a lot more sense if you’ve already read it yourself!

looks like Moonshadow elves cross the arms of the dead... when they have a body to bury

it’s nice to see that Rayla imagines Runaan with all his shirts, the way she last saw him

kinda looks like Rayla changed into her jammies right on her bed and dumped her clothes on that little table. maybe she’s afraid of letting the few things she actually possesses out of her sight

listen we get one little panel of Opeli in here and it’s great

Soren’s cape smacking Callum in the face, 10/10

Lujanne’s appearance out of nowhere, along with Allen’s is just adorable, she’s so sparkly. And also she can apparently just turn totally invisible with an illusion spell? Even at a new moon? Probably because of the Nexus I guess

Lujanne’s “Big strong man with big strong feelings.” She and Runaan have exactly the same type and I support them

Allen’s face when Lujanne says it aches to miss Phoe-Phoe

Callum eating off Rayla’s plate and wondering how Lujanne suspected they were a couple, hmmm

Soren and Allen bonding

Rayla warning Lujanne about hand disguises, as if that was something Runaan made very sure she knew

Rayla’s cute chaos grin when Callum’s Aspiro spell goes off is my favorite pic of her in this whole graphic novel

Lujanne’s “Oh.” afterward is my fave pic of her, too, she does not seem to handle reality well!

Bait’s tongue will never get old

Lujanne’s whole speech during Phoe-Phoe’s rebirth ritual is so touching and beautiful, my heart

Lujanne putting the newborn Moon Phoenix into Ezran’s hands, like she knows he’ll have the best connection with her

Callum’s tears as he reminds Rayla that Runaan killed Harrow, he’s trying to move on, but it hurts

Rayla’s self-soothing behavior when she has her second nightmare in the book--she must have these most every night :((((

the big symbol on the Moon Temple doors looks like a stylized Moon staff, like it’s a building for mages

Lujanne saying Rayla might not want or need the truth right after Callum mentions Runaan’s name to her, he sassily asks about her husbands and she turns it into a compliment

Callum’s big reaction to the moon opals is adorable. The only other one he’s seen was part of a pair of treasured gifts between long-time spouses, so it kinda looks like he’s all “uhh we just started dating”

also Ethari must’ve made cute metal swirly covers for the pair he and Runaan wore, since these two are undecorated--maybe he got his from Lujanne?

listen Lujanne is a hoot and all but she’s both an ally and an antagonist. Her actions are trustworthy but her advice is generally terrible. It’s an interesting parallel to how Runaan says a lot with his actions too, but he talks a lot less than Lujanne

Rayla yeeting herself into a fight just to ask Soren for a talk is 10/10 Moonshadow assassin goals

but her hood is up when she’s lurking in the trees--she might not have known where she’d find Soren and was anticipating something less fun on the feels-o-meter

Rayla in the mud again. Soren keeps making people fall in the mud

Allen’s grumpy squiggle

Callum, I love you, but you have no respect for moon opals. It’s like they wronged you in a previous life or something

that dancing elf has very long hair and shoulder pauldrons, and they start off dancing with six kneeling, watching, hooded elves around them--Moon Druids wore hoods even before they were assassins. Considering what Lujanne said about why the portal was sometimes opened, maybe those six kneeling elves are waiting under their emotion-hiding hoods to farewell a loved one who’s recently died?

can’t tell for sure but maybe the elf is dancing along the lines in the stone like they mark patterns for ritual dances, which would be the bomb

Soren and Rayla’s conversation is pretty wrenching. Seeing Soren have to struggle with what he did because it’s tangled up with Viren is rough because as a Crownguard it should just have been his duty to defend his king and he’d have nothing to feel weird about

Rayla dissociating herself from the term “assassins” and Soren dissociating from calling Viren “my father” in the same conversation is 10/10 excellent growth

Soren must know what happens to prisoners his dad gets a hold of, even if he doesn’t know the details :(((

“we captured him” and “Viren took him” seem to be talking about the Crownguard and Viren, not the brodigies and Viren

Rayla having a wooden sword at the end of the day bc she played swordfighting with Allen and Soren all day long

the panel where Rayla doesn’t say anything at all after telling Callum that she asked Soren about Runaan actually says so much, you can hear it

every time Lujanne’s white lies idea gets repeated, things get worse

Allen’s reading glasses, there must be one optician in the human village and he caters to soft kindly gentlemen of a certain age

in the moon phase montage, baby Phoe-Phoe is flying next to Ezran after one week at the Nexus. Maybe he’s paying her back by helping her learn to fly after she helped him teach Zym how to fly! Did they bond as tightly as Ezran did with Zym? I support Ezran just bonding with the most powerful flying creatures in all the land.

the irony of Callum using Lujanne’s tactics against her is amazing, but really the white lies thing is a giant ball of chaos in this story and it does not play favorites

Bait on the stone pillar during rebuilding

all the noises the Moonhenge makes are 10/10

Rayla dancing with Callum even though there’s almost no chance she’s ever done that dance before

Lujanne’s pupils going white, that is a cool effect, what’s it mean?

the black moon in the pink sky is so spooky! Is it just me or does the color scheme here kinda vibe like the space outside Aaravos’s library?

the smoky assassin squad, 10/10 creep factor, I love it

the lightning being a literal crack of doom with “CRAK-DOOM” as Katolis Castle appears, “echoes of thunder” indeed, very nice

Lujanne being mad but she can’t decide if it’s at Callum or herself

when she says pulling Rayla out now will leave her soul on one side and her body a husk. After the Insta live stream last night where we learned that soulfang serpents are Moon primal creatures, that’s... super interesting

smoky assassins go tssh in the rain like they’re still hot from being cremated, thanks I hate it

Andromeda finds Rayla first and seems closest/most aggressive so I wonder why she might hate Rayla more than the others

the assassins’ wrist bindings have gone red but they’re still attached and seem to trap the souls where they are. But all they need to be free is to perceive that Rayla completed their task, even though we know otherwise. So... would that work for killing any target? If you’re certain that you did it, does your binding fall off even if you’re wrong? eyes Pip

this must not be the actual afterlife since the spirits kind of mist up toward the moon and vanish, it’s more like a lobby, no one stays here unless they get stuck

portaling around just by shouting at villains, excellent

Rayla literally dropping a sword at the sight of the pod Viren’s in, yeah, it’s that creepy, I agree

Viren’s eyes are so black I think they’re Aaravos’s. I got a whole headcanon on Good Viren and Evil Viren for S4 now, wow

Phoe-Phoe pulling out a feather for Callum, awww my heart! This is why Ezran had to come, to bond with her so together they could save Callum and Rayla, it’s so sweet

so these humans are from the Storm Spire battle, bc that’s the Storm Spire behind Rayla and Callum on p108, with the rune-written arch. Did they die hating Rayla and Callum from the battle? Did they even know Rayla was up there? Or is pod Viren/Aaravos actually making them attack out of hatred for Viren’s death? One of these is definitely creepier and more awesome

Rayla’s confidence that Callum can and will boost her at the right moment with his magic, my heart, I love battle couples

that one panel that mirrors the Ghost Feather key art, hhhhhh

Rayla being the better swimmer, such precious irony, thanks Runaan

them holding hands and swimming upward together on the full-page panel is blessed

Lujanne pulling Rayla out of the lake with both arms gives me feels bc my grandma saved my life once

Lujanne being super soft over Rayllum, she is indeed a hopeless romantic

Rayla says “gone” about her parents and Runaan, and that’s the word Ethari used too, and I’m suddenly wondering if Ethari reached right into that pool and has always known that the lotus is half-submerged and if the sword he’s been making is for himself

I’m so glad Rayla told Callum what she saw of Viren

Rayla deceiving Callum and heading into danger alone because his life is more valuable to her than her own is exactly what Runaan did for her the night of the full moon in Katolis. I’m leaning toward her having thought this over and doing it on purpose bc she believes it’s a sign of deepest love--that Runaan’s actions and Lujanne’s words match up in her head, so she thinks it’s the right thing to do bc the mage and the assassin agree. Alas, Callum doesn’t understand the Moon arcanum yet, so he will have a different opinion. That mage and that assassin do not agree!

Rayla’s cloak has that Moon Temple symbol on its back. Is it Lujanne’s cloak? Any Moonshadow who sees it will probably know where she got it and who helped her. That could be fun!
