CREATOR’S NOTES:

Let's start with my favorite item of the set, Bonbon Hair. It's the cutest hair I've ever created, and I'm really proud of it. The bow is adorable, and I was finally able to make a great 3D model of it. I'm really happy with how the hair looks - it's exactly what I had in mind. I hope you love it too! One thing to note is that the bow on Bonbon Hair isn't removable and won't work with hats. Usually, I prefer hairstyles that can be worn with hats, but for this one, I needed more space for the bow's texture. I also drew the bow's shadow onto the hair's texture to give it more depth and a better overall look. I also made sure to keep the polycount low - around 6k polygons. I could have made it lower, but it didn't look as good in movement. So, I kept it at a higher polycount to maintain good movement without too much distortion.

I designed the dress to complement the hairstyle, adding a bow at the back for an extra touch of charm and romance. I used a new mesh from the latest kit that I couldn't wait to franken-meshing with it. My goal was to create a vintage silhouette and style, and while I'm not sure if it was successful, I'm very happy with the final result. At the end of the day, it looks cute, and that's all that really matters.

The nails are a kind of old wip that I finally decided to finish. It's one of the cutest designs I've ever come across, and I was determined to recreate it in The Sims. I love a stiletto design, and for me, one of the best nail art is this one; it matches the nail's format and is so cute. The nail includes two color options but only one spec option. However, I plan to create additional versions in the future, including a glossy and matte finish, possibly as part of a mini set that I'm working on that will have this and other versions of some of my recent clothing designs.

Next up, we have the Biscuits Earrings. These were originally a work in progress meant for a different set, but while I was styling the Sims, I realized how well they matched with the current Sweet Tooth Set. So, I quickly finished them up and included them as part of the set.

By now, it's all. Unfortunately, I've been working very slowly lately; thanks to this heat wave, I feel most of the day like I'm melting. It's scorching in here, guys. I don't understand how a person can say global warming is a lie; really, how?!

UGH IM SORRY this idea made me vibrate so much I have to put off the other headcanons for now to do this

JD being dominated by the reader !

Highly recommend go checking out my John Dory headcanons before coming here!! With some story attached to it !!

NSFW PLEASE BE WARNED

. . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ Sweeter than sweet ࿐ྂ

‗ ❍ honestly he would be so down for the talk, of course it was brought up before to ensure there’s consent in it all

‗ ❍ you will have to tie his arms behind his back, he doesn’t listen very well if they aren’t tied

‗ ❍ you always put the goggles on because he looks so fucking good in goggles

‗ ❍ plus it is another play in sensory deprivation; his sight isn’t completely taken away, however it is distorted, especially when he gets aroused

‗ ❍ sitting on top of him would subdue him for a bit but he tends to forget to slip into sub space for you and try to put his hands on you - his fangs too

‗ ❍ gosh with your hand shoved onto his mouth and pinning his head down, his fangs would definitely pierce into your skin

‗ ❍ he would growl into your skin, trying to gain the upper hand again before quieting down once you shush him, a soft promise of letting him go if he can behave for you

‗ ❍ he is a big boy and doesn’t want to back down so easily

‗ ❍ however, he does enjoy it, does enjoy letting when he’s able to

‗ ❍ he’s so into teasing, especially if you tease his dick and balls - makes him so fucking putty in your hands

‗ ❍ he can cum quite a lot before he cannot handle it

‗ ❍ since being by himself for so long he’s built up some stamina for a while so he can cum about 5 times before he starts wincing and flinching away from your hands

‗ ❍ boy does he cum a lot

‗ ❍ definitely cries when his cum isn’t filling you up, tears streaming down his cheeks as he bucks his hips up into your hands before yanking away as his knot inflates

‗ ❍ his cock gets this dark blue color the more you make him cum and knot without being in you

‗ ❍ he definitely thrashes around, snarls leaving him as he yanks on his restraints around his wrists - you can hear the restraints slowly start to break

‗ ❍ you just coo down at him mockingly before sitting on his stomach letting his cum coat your ass and back

‗ ❍ “so dumb and stupid,” you would whisper down at him, rolling your hips against his stomach to get yourself off

‗ ❍ “don’t deserve to cum in me,” you would continue, hands pressing against his chest

‗ ❍ he would toss his head back, his cock skimming your back

‗ ❍ you would lean over him; placing your arms on either side of head, gripping his hair with both hands as you continue to grind on his stomach

‗ ❍ he would breathe so deeply, tilting his head up to inhale your exhale, attempting to nuzzle into you

‗ ❍ you’ll allow this, considering he’s being still other wise

‗ ❍ you would cum on his stomach like this, nuzzling into him so softly once you do, shivering on top of him whimpering

‗ ❍ “please please please,” he would start begging so hard “baby please let me shove my cock on you,”

‗ ❍ it wouldn’t be suave like he would like, it’s blunt and filthy

‗ ❍ “wanna fuck you so full you cannot move, so fucking full,” he would groan but your hand slid down his hair to grip his face and silence him

‗ ❍ “I’m not done yet, be good,” you would scold and he would grow silence

posts two days in a row i’m on a roll!! decided to draw that little scene from mag 180 for some comic practice :)

also! i am going to start adding IDs to my posts, i may forget every once in a while so bear with me but i’ll try to be as consistent as possible! also sorry if they’re not the best i’m still working on how exactly to format and write them

[Start ID:

A single page comic of Jon and Martin in greyscale. Martin is a tall, plus sized white man with light wavy hair with white streaks and light eyes. He has circular glasses, in which one of the lenses is cracked. There is a small white scar on the left side of his jaw. He is wearing a grey hoodie and has an unshaven stubbly face. Jon is a shorter middle eastern man with buzzed short black hair with grey throughout. He also has a full beard with grey throughout as well. His skin is pockmarked with small scars, in addition to a scar across his throat and a small scar on his left arm. He wears rectangular glasses, a light colored t-shirt, and a dark jacket with a bag slung across his shoulder.

Panel 1: Martin has his eyes closed and is presumably leaning toward Jon who is not in frame, facing to the left. He has a small contented smile on his face as he says, “your turn.”

Panel 2: Jon, facing right, also has his eyes closed with a calm expression replies, “fine, I spy with my little eye…” pausing before the end of the statement.

Panel 3: Wide shot of both Jon and Martin facing forward. Jon is faced slightly away from Martin as he looks back toward him. Jon is smiling as he opens his right eye to reveal that it’s glowing green with other ghostly green eyes floating around him. As he does this, he says, “… literally everything.” finishing his previous statement. (the dialogue text is slightly distorted) Martin’s head is angled slightly toward Jon to look at him as he smiles and snorts a laugh, eyes open and crinkled. His hands are raised like he’s about to cover his face.

Panel 4: Jon and Martin are leaning against each other, holding each others hands, faces bright and smiley as they laugh together. They both have their eyes closed. On the right of the panel, a second set of laughter, this one a more sinister “oh ho ho ho…” travels between panel 4 and 5.

Panel 5 (final panel): Jon and Martin lean against each other, identical to the previous panel, but now their faces have dropped. Jon is frowning, eyebrows creased and he is looking up at Martin. Martin is also frowning, as he looks down at Jon with a similar expression. They have both stopped laughing.

End ID]

I hope i did okay on that! If there’s anything I can improve on when writing these please tell me I’d really appreciate it :D

It's cruise season for people who still do that, so this swimsuit IS seasonal. Ha! @candysims4's Sand Swimsuit came out last May and I've had it in my WIP folder ever since. I'm glad it took me so long to get around to it, because it was trickier to convert than I expected. I did a much better job of it than I would have been able to last year. (Though I did have an absurd glitch in the process.)

Sand is a high-cut (and also low-cut) swimsuit with a halter neck and it's just slightly wider than a thong in the back. I think that's called a tanga. Because of the sheer amount of 'tocks on display, this swimsuit is for AF-EF only. It didn't feel appropriate for teens. But gramma? She can rock out with her 'tocks out. All the usual morphs. Poly count is 2525. Quite reasonable.

The edges of the suit can distort with some poses and motions. You can see it on the pregnant model in the preview.

CandySims did 100 color/pattern options. I've "only" converted the patterns so far, plus solid black and white. The one that caught your eye (and mine) is 80 if you only want that one. I think there are a bunch of keepers here though, even if you're picky.

there are a lot of players on lifesteal that aren't human. this shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. the thing is, with a lot of them, it's really not clear what they actually are. like, yeah, a lot of the time players don't fall neatly into nice categories, but usually there's something to go off of that's like, at least a little recognizable? anyway the point is rekrap [resident Boring Human] has taken it upon himself to commit investigative journalism to try and figure this out. the following are a few of his notes.

branzy:

-claims to be human

-unnaturally sharp teeth

-generally mildly uncanny

-saw his eyes glow in the dark a few times

-purple eyes + white hair (natural? contacts + dye? something else?)

theories:

vampire

>sharp teeth

>pale

>never seen him eat garlic

>has blood on his mouth weirdly often

shapeshifter

>general feeling of not quite being right

>i swear his tattoo's changed before

>catch-all explanation for physical traits

human

>he might just be messing with me and/or i might just be paranoid

ashswag:

-claims to actually be god. i doubt that.

-seems to have a far easier time manipulating code than other players do

-form sort of distorts? hard to describe

-hard to look at. hurts my eyes

-looks human when there's nothing weird going on

theories:

-??????? to be honest i'm kinda lost right now. i think he was human at some point but i'm pretty that's not still the case? need more information.

princezam:

-asked him; said he's not sure. then shrugged and said "i'm printer :D"

-skin + hair are BRIGHT yellow

-blood is black and smells like ink. dries red

-face can change? and melt? and become abstract shapes? and can open into a bunch of eyes?

-halo that keeps changing shape (glows in the dark)

theories:

angel

>halo

>lots of eyes

>generally looks fairly normal but occasional mild shape shifting

paper construct

>ink-like blood

>simplistic + fluid face

>unusual coloring

this investigation has led to some people having questions about him, though- apparently some people didn't think he was human? said that his eyes shined weirdly in the dark, which, okay, he can maybe believe that, but then some people said that they'd see flashes of antlers? and/or rabbit ears? plus the way he runs and jumps is apparently weirdly...animal like. so yeah, apparently there are rumors going around that he's a jakalope. which is absolutely ridiculous, because jakalopes, player or not, don't exist.

Mario’s Madness BF x Reader (Paranoia)

˚　　　　✦　　　.　　. 　 ˚　.　　　　　 . ✦　　　　˚　　　　 . ★⋆. ࿐࿔ 　　　. 　　˚　　　　*　　　　✦　　　.　　.　　　✦　˚ 　　　　 ˚　.˚　　　　✦　　　.　　. 　 ˚　.　　　　　　　　　　 ੈ✧̣̇˳·˖✶ ✦　　

(BF’s POV)

My partner and I just finished up with that weird DJ guy. (DJ Hallyboo) I swear that dude was really weird. Like did he have to put me in that prison and make me do all that writing.. I’m just glad that shit is over. I looked over at (Y/N) and saw them smiling at me. “You did great honey!” They praised me for my rapping. My face grew red from their praise. “Beep Pa” (Thanks babe) “Your welcome..” (Y/N) and I then walked to the next stop which was on the left side of the bridge. The dark cloud that was where that black and gray Mario was held. (GB) Gosh he was creepy and he almost hurt (Y/N). Like what did they do to make all these characters hate them? We reached the spot and we were teleported to the next stage. I looked around and saw that the world was red and black and (Y/N) was gone. “Great.. I wonder what creature or thing has them now.” I thought as I rolled my eyes.

Suddenly a red and black Mario appeared in-front of me. He was very creepy and odd looking. He had the same color scheme as the world but instead his legs were thinner than the original Mario. His hat had the letter V instead of M and his legs looked like toothpicks plus they also looked so easy to break and I was surprised that his legs could hold him up. His eyes and teeth were white but they glowed a sinister red color. We were then teleported to an area of the game. “I want to have some fun. Why don’t we sing, boy?” The red and black Mario spoke in a dark and disturbing way. “Beep!” (Bring It On!) I challenged him. The Mario chuckled sinisterly.

“By the way my name is Mr. Virtual. I want you to remember it as the fear sinks in.” He told me as he made a mic appear in his hand. I kinda felt a bit afraid knowing that something might have happened to (Y/N). Hopefully this creep didn’t get his hands on them. The song started and Mr. Virtual started first. His voice was very dark and harsh sounding. As the song continued a few small turtles appeared but they were glitching a lot. “What’s the matter boy?” Mr. Virtual said as he stopped singing. (Y/N) then appeared in-front of us. “Don’t you recognize your own partner?” (Y/N)’s face started to distort and darken.

Everything went dark and the next thing I knew I heard a loud voice and I saw (Y/N) but they had Mr. Virtual’s face instead of their own and as they sang their voice was very guttural and high pitched plus their body language was very hostile towards me. I was scared and mortified by what Mr. Virtual had done to my lover. (Y/N) then turned back into Mr. Virtual and the battle continued. I was furious and scared. What had this monster done to (Y/N) and why were they so hostile? The battle ended and I glared at Mr. Virtual. “Beep Ski Pa Doo!” (What did you do to them!!) I shouted angrily at him.

Mr. Virtual was about to answer but was hit in the head. He fell to the ground and looked behind himself. (Y/N) stood there holding a hammer. “How dare you scare my boyfriend!” (Y/N) shouted at him. “(Y/N), please it was just a prank..” Mr. Virtual tried to reason with them as he rubbed his head. “Oh? It was a prank was it..?” (Y/N) said as they gripped onto the hammer even tighter. “Then you won’t mind if I play a little prank on you right?” (Y/N) asked him with a sweet tone but their smile was very menacing.

“(Y/N) Please have mercy on me!!” Mr. Virtual pleaded to them. (Y/N) then started to beat the shit out of Mr. Virtual. “Damn, that finna leave a mark..” I thought to myself as I continued to watch (Y/N) beat up Mr. Virtual. “That’s my darling..” I thought proudly to myself.

The Pocket Trick Touch #2 - Triple Part 2 - Between Cars

General

(For reference: Earthly Objects | The Pocket Trick - Basics)

(Previous version: The Pocket Trick Triple Part 2 - Between Cars v1)

Here is a GIF of the cut with the Overhead Light:

Here is a GIF of the cut with the visible pocket touch before the pocket touch is eventually off-screen:

...

Pocket Frame

The Pocket Frame is Cars with one of those cars being Crowley's own Bentley.

...

Touch Point

This Touch Point is different from the others because it happens while Crowley's actual hands are not on screen. Instead, his left hand is reflected in the window pane of his car while ensuring the watch is visible with that reflection.

This particular Touch Point is simultaneous with a mirror flip of the Tied Hands. The over-the-rainbow touch is actually with the upper area of Crowley's right arm and a human behind him in the framing. The other touches do not have such a thing happen.

I have named this Touch Point as my guess for the most special Clue of clues that is not the record, for the episode. This episode has a lot of clues due to so much threshold trickery. In fact, every Threshold Trick has a reference in the Touch Point itself. There's the car door, car window, bigger threshold from the pub, the current pocket touch in The Pocket Trick, and the sunglasses. The sunglasses will change in the next episode.

Plus, there's the forming general connection between homes through the sideburns being referenced.

...

The Hinge

Above is the vertex touch involving the left thumb CMC joint.

...

Pocket Chain

The preceding touch had a Pocket Frame of Building Windows. This touch is in a scene where Aziraphale and Crowley agree to borrow each other's homes. This borrowing is a process I theorize they go through to form a special connection between those homes, further confirmed for me with how things go in the Rainbow Connection. The theory originally developed through my Sideburns Scheme analysis before I found and named the Earthly Objects game.

With this current touch's Pocket Frame being Cars, the Building Windows of the bookshop behind Crowley are notably visible with the frame. Crowley's actual head ends up framed over some of the bookshop's windows to help find the Touch Point. That's a further clue about the connection to be formed between the homes.

I've drawn lines for how the Pocket Frame itself ends up looking to me though I can't quite seem to come up with such lines in the other touches.

...

Overhead Light

Crowley's actual head receives an Overhead Light in the shoulder-angel cut with Aziraphale. That helps it to be to Aziraphale's right, in turn.

The Belt Head seems to get two overhead lights from the headlights of the other car that is used from the Pocket Frame. It might get two because of an assistant human puppet for the touch.

...

Findable Rainbow

This rainbow is the official rainbow for this Threshold Trick. It moves across the screen, as if to target the plants in the car.

Often, rainbows are depicted as going from Red to Purple in fiction. This one starts with Purple, then goes from Red to Blue. That might be related to the idea of the story's distorted reality and questionable chronology.

...

Rainbow Connection

(For reference: The Pocket Chain Rainbow Connection Part 2 - The Pocket Trick - Triple Part 2 and Double)

The Rainbow Connection switches from Yellow to Green. The lighting sets Crowley's clothes to Black, and the human puppet has a shirt with a notable amount of White.

Due to how things happen throughout the touches and especially at the end of The Door Catch, I've interpreted Black and White together as being able to trap a color.

In this case, Crowley's Black is blocking the rainbow in, pushing it along toward the Green of the plants. The human puppet then holds whatever needs to be held, such as holding off the switch to Blue, with White. Then I just go with the guess that the watch takes over when that human's White is no longer visible.

The Green of the plants is trapped because it is the Green used for The Door Trick later.

At the last one or two frames of the cut for this touch, the Rainbow Connection switches from Green to Blue.

...

Tied Hands

(For reference: Tied Hands)

Both tie strands are to Crowley's right on his jacket. The one further to Crowley's right—which is connected to his left hand—swings more strongly and all the way to Crowley's left arm. Then it swings toward Crowley's right again, past the other strand, before eventually settling with other strand on the vest.

All of this coordination helps further confirm about the strands being connected to the hands. Other touches within The Pocket Trick will not show as much movement from this point onward. However, once it is realized the Tied Hands are active outside The Pocket Trick, their connection becomes more evident with other movement from Crowley.

...

Belt Head

The Belt Head receives a little extra bit of light on itself to clue a player in to examine that video frame. In my play, the only thing that stood out at first was the human assistant's arm and that arm's alignment with Crowley's car. After that, I looked at arms in general to eventually figure out the Touch Point and to generally check the lighting for clues.

Otherwise, I already mentioned it has two potential Overhead Lights from car headlights.

...

The Other Apparel

Jacket: Receives the vertex touch from the left thumb joint. Various pockets are formed with it during the cut, including a sleeve pocket with the right arm.

Vest: A visible pocket exists between the vest tips and the belt with my screen brightened to find such things. Otherwise, the vest is the main resting place for the thumb joints and thumbs of the Tied Hands by the time the cut is nearly over.

Shirt: It's Tactical Turtleneck Tuesday. Thanks to the turtleneck, Crowley's actual neck has no illusionary skin contact with the car behind him that is used as part of the Pocket Frame during the Touch Point. That's somewhat relevant to one of the mistakes the Metatron makes during The Door Catch. The Metatron's left index finger is visibly touching a button. The threshold's buttons are equivalent to doorknobs, so he is regarded as touching his own Pocket Frame and with an index fingertip at that. My own play guesses that's a mistake on his part, based on the other clues from the game, Crowley not doing such things, and the specific choice in framing with this turtleneck in the Touch Point of this touch.

Watch: The watch is ensured to be visible in the reflection of the window pane.

Pants: The pants have a pocket between the legs and the bottom of the screen. That pocket includes the shadows of the legs of the human behind Crowley. It disappears during the cut and most or all of the pants are no longer visible near the end of the cut.

Shoes: Crowley's shoes are not visible during this cut. That's typical for the rest of the touches in The Pocket Trick. However, many humans on the screen are showing their shoes as a general clue about the eventual special Ground Zero cut for The Door Catch.

...

Actual Hands

Left Hand: The actual left hand has incredibly particular movement with what digits do where and when. There is nearby wet spot when the cut starts. The left hand moves to help the thumb joint for its required vertex touch. It makes various pockets when that happens. It is reflected in the window pane at the Touch Point but otherwise off-screen.

...

Right Hand: The right hand is more clearly visible with its pocket touch compared to the intermission scene with Nina and the previous touch. It shows the thumb on the pocket more clearly. It's also being touched by the jacket behind it instead of in front of it.

...

Human Assistance

When this cut is analyzed repeatedly frame by frame, it becomes evident that the humans have a weird sort of way they move. They are not exactly in step with Crowley, but their steps are still noticeable.

The human to Crowley's left near the car is a significant puppet who assists with trapping the Green and stalling the Rainbow Connection switch to Blue until that trap is done.

Meanwhile, the human behind Crowley on the phone and wearing a hat helps Crowley be framed in for the Touch Point due to how Crowley's right shoulder aligns with the human's right arm.

...

Dialogue

This touch is the only one in the The Pocket Trick with dialogue where Crowley speaks, and we can see that he has part of his hand pocketed into his pants when he talks. It turns out the line is also a clue about what to look for in this pocket touch because of the Pocket Frame being Cars.

It has an additional meaning since "lift" is the word actually used for the Heaven elevator in the story by Muriel when referring to where they found the matchbox. The Heaven lift will be across the street from where this interaction takes place in episode 6 where Aziraphale does "need a lift somewhere".

...

Other

I don't really have it in me to go over this touch in sequential format as I did for the previous one. However, you can look to the previous version of this post for further details: The Pocket Trick Triple Part 2 - Between Cars.

At the Touch Point, connected through shadows is a human woman with a blue bag. I don't know if there are better worded finer mechanics involving her, but more broadly for my own understanding of things, bags are really important in The Door Trick for what I think is trickery with human assistance to hit Yellow twice before the eventual switch to Green in the Rainbow Connection.

Otherwise, the bag is light blue, and Blue is the ending color of the Rainbow Connection for the overall touch happening here in Triple Part 2. A darker blue can be found with the car that has the red alert lights regarding the switch.

...

That's all for this touch.

(Again, for reference: Earthly Objects | The Pocket Trick - Basics)

More scrapped Nuzi fics (warning, some is angsty)

Fragmented/Fragments of the past/Echo/Whatever freaking title I had for this:

Uzi crawls on the ground, one arm missing and every inch of her metallic body feeling like extra weight she’s forced to carry. The room around her trembles, the walls shun a blinding white color, piercing the optical sensors of her visor. Some furniture pieces around her began to fade gradually into the white voice as Uzi continued pushing forward, crying out a name so familiar and yet so distant, grasping for something, anything, in her vicinity.

She hears another voice; a feminine one calling out the same name yet everytime it did, their voice would glitch or distort, making it unable for Uzi to hear it.

Yet she knew, the name somehow carried significance.

Uzi pushes forward, her vision partly recovering after having been assaulted by the light to see a silhouette in a glass capsule, several heavy machinery surrounding it. The silhouette turns to her and despite not being able to discern any facial features or attributes tied to the person she can see its somber smile as it kneels down to her level - or as far as it could go.

Again, Uzi calls this name as she stared at the figure, placing her hand weakly against the glass, a feeble attempt to break it. Sobs wreck through her body, begging the person, whoever they are, to get out of the capsule, to not do something that she couldn’t grasp no despite her own words repeating it. The figure’s eyes closed as they shakily exhaled, trying to communicate to Uzi yet all words came out as equally distorted as the name.

And yet, Uzi begged. Pleaded, cried, anything to convince the figure to leave. Yet it only responded by placing its hand against the glass, its words coming out glitched once again.

“Uzi, I love you…”

Her eyes hollow as the now clear words hit her audial sensors. A deep sense of both love and grief shocks her to the core, all sounds she once made fall mute as a sudden realization settles before her. For the few seconds of silence she had, the figure muttered a thousand apologies before the bright void engulfed them both.

What it was: this was meant to be a "what-if" kinda fanfic. Basically, N cannot take the thought of Uzi dying and looked for any chance for an alternative, which he found. He found a machine in the labs that could rewind time, bringing the time back to a time before they met. However, the machine needed fuel and N was the only one that could fuel it through his core. He sacrifices himself, despite Uzi's pleading. Time rewinds and Uzi wakes up without any memory of what happened and N has been completely ereased from the timeline. However, I really don't like sad endings and this fanfic would have ended on Uzi somehow remembering and bringing N back, however...

Why I scrapped it: I don't trust myself to handle heavy topics and angst and make it believable while also emotional. Plus, I started working on Cinnamon Scent and never found the time to develope it further than the prologue. And as time went on I thought of the concept to be boring and was scared it wasn't going to stick with others through all the other creative stuff out there.

Reborn:

"The absolute most angst-filled idea I could possibly think of for this series is N dying and Uzi proceeding to feed Eldtrich N living worker drones out of desperation, willing to sacrifice anyone to get him back. N revives but without any memory of what Uzi did to resurrect him,' with a traumatized, oil-stained Uzi hugging him in silence."

This was a comment a different Tumblr user made and I asked them if I could write a fanfic about it and they said "Sure". Aaaand, I never write it cause again; I don't trust myself with Angst.

Cinnamon Scent Chapter 5:

N // Today at 10:11 AM

“Uziii, I got the appel strudel u asked for! :D”

“But also… a bit of a surprise”

Uzi raised a brow at that, her mind already going in overdrive to try to think what surprise he might have planned.

Uzi // Today at 10:11 AM

“And that is?”

N // Today at 10:11 AM

“How do I say it ahhh”

“Well, it depends on you if it’s a positive or a negative surprise!”

Uzi // Today at 10:12 AM

“Don’t dodge the question”

N // Today at 10:12 AM

“Wahhh, you’re so scary when you’re serious!”

“It’s kinda hard to tell you bc they told me not to tell you”

Uzi // Today at 10:12 AM

“???”

“Who’s they?? Where are you?”

N // Today at 10:13 AM

“OO I said too much, we’ll meet u there!!”

“Wha?” Uzi whispers under her breath, an uncomfortable feeling emerges at the pit of her stomach, making her thoughts go even more in overdrive.

Did he bring a friend along?

With confusion and determination both etched on her face (and some sprinkled in nervousness) her pace quickens as she beelines towards the amusement park, ready to smack somebody if she needs to.

“Hey, Uzi!” Uzi turns around to the sound of N calling for her, spotting him standing near the entrance. And as Uzi had expected, he didn’t stand alone.

“That’s her?” A human with a large bow in her brown/reddish hair and a few freckles on her tanned skin. “It’s nice to finally meet you!”

“Yeah, so nice” A drone with her white hair styled into two twintails responded sarcastically, making Uzi forget about her shock for a second to glare at her.

“Don’t be like that, J!” V lighty smacks the shoulder of, who Uzi now knows is, J. J in turn glared at V’s direction, though the latter seemed not bothered by it.

“I… I didn’t expect you to bring your family,” Uzi chuckles awkwardly, pointing at all the new (and not so new) people behind N. He scratched the back of his head, opening his mouth to speak.

“Yeah, well-”

“We weren’t going to leave him alone with a stranger” J interjects, making N cower underneath her harsh gaze. Uzi only returns that, her shoulders tense.

“Friend. I’m his friend,”

“Guys, let’s not fight!” Tessa stands between J and Uzi, making N breathe a huge sigh of relief. Uzi’s eyes softened a bit, her stance growing less defensive. “N talked about an amusement park at some point. We all thought it would be fun to go together!”

“I wouldn’t be able to sneak out again anyway,” N shoots Uzi an apologetic smile that she returns with a soft sigh, both not hearing J yell in the background ‘again?’.

“No need to be sorry, bud,” Uzi hides her hands in her pockets, trying to mask her disappointment with a casual attitude. “It’s your family, I’m not going to deny you not taking them out here,”

“And we’ll get to spend more time together!” N cheers, looking excitedly at Tessa. “Right?”

“We’ll have to see how it will work with your schedule but otherwise, I don’t see why not!” Tessa ruffles N’s hair, chuckling.

“We’ll also have to see if she’s not a threat!” J argues back, however, it fell on deaf ears as everyone turned towards the entrance, all making their way inside the amusement park while J grumbled something under her breath.

“So, which rides look the most fun?” Tessa strokes her chin, looking at all the different attractions in her line of sight.

“The rollercoaster is pretty cool,” Uzi shrugs. “There should also be a carousel somewhere, but it’s for kids,”

“What about this?” N runs ahead towards a giant mechanical octopus with seats attached to its tentacles. “This looks fun!”

“And dangerous,” J crosses her arms, her eyes moving along the rotation of the octopus.

“I think it’s safe,” Tessa smiles, turning to Uzi. “Right?”

“Oh, uh, sure!” Uzi scrambles together an answer, somewhat surprised that Tessa would ask for her opinion. “I wasn’t on the octopus a lot, it always bored me. My mom thought it was tons of fun though,”

“I got us tickets!” V cackles as she hands each and every one of them tickets, with N taking it eagerly and J more reluctantly.

“V, you know we have to save,” J glares, making V roll her eyes.

“I know, I know, but we can take it easy once,” V hands the last tickets to Tessa. “What fun would we have if we saved every penny only for necessities?”

“They’re called necessities for a reaso-”

“J,” Tessa places a hand on J’s shoulder, making her eyes widen a bit. “Don’t worry about the money. I’ll take care of it”

“But-”

“See? Tessa got it covered!” V walks on the ramp as the ride stops, choosing eagerly which seat she’s going to take. “Besides, you should take it easy especially!”

“If this is what it's like to have siblings then I’m happy that my parents only adopted me…” Uzi speaks her thoughts out loud, flinching as N’s laughter rings out next to her.

“At least it never gets boring!” N takes her hand, leading her to two empty seats. Uzi’s core flutters at the contact, her eyes drifting towards their hands. N helps hoist Uzi up due to her smaller size, only intensifying her already prominent blush.

“I’m… really surprised they came along” A employee fastened their seats, taking their tickets with an odd look. Uzi returned the look with a glare before sighing. “How did you convince them?”

“Oh, there wasn’t any convincing needed!” N beams. “Tessa wanted to go somewhere, I just mentioned the amusement park!”

“Did you tell them about me?” Uzi grips the edges of her seat as the ride slowly begins.

“A little, yeah” N admits sheepishly. “J got suspicious that I knew about the amusement park”

“Of course” Uzi rolls her eyes, her grip tightening as the ride picks up speed.

“Tessa was all for it!” N grips Uzi’s hand, squeezing it as fans begin to whirr louder. “Th-This is my first time here, you don’t mind that I…?” N’s gaze flickers towards their hands, making Uzi shake her head frantically.

“N-Not at all!” Uzi squeezes his hand back, partially to reassure him, partially due to her internal panic. “Be warned though, it’ll get faster,”

“Faster?!” N yelled as the seats began to spin along with the giant octopus in the middle. Uzi cackled as the ride began to spin quiet fast in all directions while N’s grip on Uzi’s hand tightened, screaming as the seats moved up and down.

“Are you afraid?!” Uzi yells, her smile disappearing as she looks at N. However, a nervous smile etched on his face as turned to Uzi.

“This is awesome!” He kicked his feet in the air as the ride continued, making Uzi laugh in response.

Despite the wind tossing and turning her hair in every direction, the adrenalin in her body going on overdrive or the constant spinning of the ride, the feeling of N’s hand intertwined with her’s turned her entire brain functions into mush.

“That was so cool!” V fist bumps in the air as she excitedly jumps off the ride with the rest trailing behind. “We should do that again!”

“Yeah, right, it wasn’t THAT exciting!” J crosses her arms, a frown etched on her face.

“I saw you laughing like crazy, J!” Tessa giggles, fixing up some strands of J’s hair. “Admit it, you liked it,”

“J-Just a little!” J balls her hands into fists but doesn’t fight back against Tessa’s hands undoing her twintails to make it even again. “It’s still overrated!”

“What J actually meant was, thanks for taking me out on this fun trip away from my crippling workload and the same walls I have to witness every day!” V holds her shorter hair up, mimicking J’s hairstyle, posture and voice.

“Aren’t you mature?” J rolls her eyes as Tessa ties the first pigtail up.

“We’re kids, let’s enjoy it as long as it lasts!” V rests her hands on her hips, a smug grin on her face.

“V is right, J” As Tessa finally tied up the last pigtail she kissed the top of J’s head. “I wanted us here so that we don’t have to hide away anymore,”

J groans, her arms dropping to her side.

“Where did you guys live before?” Everyone's eyes turned to Uzi who immediately felt herself shrink under their intense stares. “...too much?”

“I-I can tell you sometime later!” N places a hand on her shoulder. “Right now, let’s just enjoy our… Wait, what’s that?!” N instantly runs away, leaving them all dumbfounded and scrambling towards his direction.

“N, don’t just run off like that!” J scolds as they finally reach him, his gaze concentrated on a giant Shiba Inu plush hanging from the side of a stand. Cans are stacked on top of each other with more different plushies and prices hanging on the sides.

“Do you want this?” Uzi points at the Shiba Inu plush, making N rapidly nod his head.

“Yeah, but… I’d have to win to get one,” N sadly scratches his arm as he eyes the plush.

“My mom used to be really good at those, she taught me a thing or two” Uzi responds somewhat smugly, yet a shy blush showed itself on her visor. “Maybe I could try winning you one?” Uzi smiles, her hands resting on her hip. N’s eyes brightened as he happily bounces on the spot.

“Only humans can participate,” V points at the sign, her expression turning sour. “How stupid…”

“I can try!” Tessa beams, handing the vendor money. “I’m probably not as good but it’s worth a shot,”

“Really?!” N claps his hands, they light in his visor shining somehow brighter. Tessa nods eagerly, grabbing one of the three balls on the counter, raising her hand behind her shoulder to throw the ball. Her eyes squint as pure concentration etched itself on her face, every fiber of her being channeled into landing the perfect shot. The drones all gather around her, looking with both excitement and unease in their eyes.

However, for Uzi, all she saw were the static covered eyes, an image of what should be her mom standing there, ready to throw the ball. Khan places a hand on Uzi’s shoulder, making her look up to him with a curious gaze.

Nori throws one ball and misses.

Wait… Mom never missed?

She throws another. Again, miss.

That’s not a memory.

“Come on, Nori, you can do it!” Khan cheers, looking as if he doesn’t see what Uzi is seeing. The static over her eyes, the clouds in the sky going faster than they should and the feeling of the breeze hitting them in all places at once.

Nori throws again. This time, all the cans fall down.

Cheers emerge from all directions of Uzi’s auditory sensors, voices so familiar and strange.

“Look, Uzi!” Uzi jolts as N holds the Shiba Inu plush at her face, recoiling slightly at her reaction. “Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you!”

“N-No, it’s fine, I was just… thinking?” Uzi shakes her hands.

“Explains why you stood there like a zombie,” J crosses her arms, raising a brow. Uzi opens her mouth, ready to defend herself until N presses the Shiba Inu plush again against her face.

“Look how adorable it is!” He offers for Uzi to hold it but she raises her hands in the air instead, taking several steps back.

“Uh, I-I…It’s cute,” N’s head tilts to the side, a puzzled frown on his face.

“Your fans are really loud!” Tessa notes, kneeling down to Uzi’s level. “Are you okay?”

“I-I’m fine!” Uzi takes more steps back as Tessa tries to place a hand on her forehead.

“Are you sure-”

“Bite me! I said I’m fine!” Uzi crosses her arms.

“Watch your tone!” J takes some threatening steps towards Uzi but is stopped by N who stands protectively in front of her.

“J, stop,” N says with a somewhat authoritative tone, surprising everyone. “She probably just feels overwhelmed. Leave her alone,”

J raises a finger, her mouth opening but after several seconds of no sounds coming, her hands fall to her side.

“I think we should all take a break,” Tessa says, trying to defuse the situation. “Maybe we could sit on a bench and stare at the ocean for a bit,”

“Great idea, my legs are starting to hurt,” V stretches her arms above her head, exhaling heavily before walking ahead. “Come on,”

“Do you know where you’re going?” N asks, staying next to Uzi’s side who looked at the ground, absent minded.

“It shouldn’t be that hard to find a quiet corner!”

“You’re walking into the crowd,” J groans.

“Hey, trust my intuition once!” V glares, looking behind her.

“Your intuition got us in more trouble than it actually helped” A exasperated sigh escapes J’s lips but V only chuckles in response.

“Like that one time in the mall?” J cracks a small smile as V mentioned the incident, making Tessa laugh along.

“We were looking so long for you two!” Tessa picks up her pace to walk between V and J. “What made you guys think that hiding into the gaming store was a good idea?”

“It was V’s intuition that made her think you’d look for us there first,” J rolls her eyes albeit with a smile. “Truthfully, I think she just wanted to look at the games there”

“Lies!” V gasps dramatically. “How dare you accuse me of such a thing!”

“It was the truth, wasn’t it?” N laughs from behind the three. “You told me, V!”

“N, you suck!” V yells, making both Tessa and J burst out in laughter.

“Ah, oops, shouldn’t have revealed it, huh?” N scratches the back of his back, a sheepish smile on his face.

The three began telling more stories of the past, recounting incidents or happy memories and sharing smiles and laughter together. However, N caught on to Uzi’s silence and somewhat distant behavior the whole time.

“Hey,” Uzi jolts slightly as N places a comforting hand on her shoulder. “You good?”

“Yes, for the thousandth time, I’m fine,” Uzi sighs.

“You’ve been so quiet though,” N sheepishly smiles. “Sorry about, uh… all this,”

“All what?” Uzi raises a brow.

“I should have told you my family was coming along and not make it out to be this surprise.” An unusual somber expression falls on his face as his lips twitch downward to a frown. “I’m sorry for overwhelming you like this,”

Uzi opens her mouth to speak again but N kept on rambling.

“In fact, I probably should have gone alone!” Slight panic arises in his expression, making Uzi feel a pang of sympathy in her chest.

This is scrapped because I felt embarrassed about the family drama. However, this is only the snippet of what's being edited, there's a ton that will stay the same bc it's Khan and Uzi bonding stuff :3

Note

Do you think Tara eventually starts forgetting Amber's details? The sound of her voice, the color of her eyes, her favorite song.

Obviously you don't just forget someone you loved that much, but it's been a year since Tara has seen or heard Amber, plus all the traumatic memories she has attached to her.

Could you imagine if Tara's brain started blocking Amber out as a trauma response?

WEEPS.

eough. totally. tara's brain altering some memories or blocking them as a trauma response. EOUGH.

it starts with simple things, the kind of simple that tara wouldn't worry about at first. a song that would always make her think about amber suddenly not making her want to cry as much. that story she told her once during a sleepover suddenly fading away from her mind. amber was allergic to something in this meal, what was it?

forgetting these things gave her a certain relief, somehow. amber was a complicated subject. she didn’t know how she was supposed to feel, and the thought of her was always too painful, too scary. so, maybe these small details weren’t meant to be stored in her mind, the ghost of her best friend (the person who tried to kill her) finally deciding to rest and let her be.

so, if tara couldn't remember the name of amber's childhood pet, she wouldn't bat an eye. if her tumblr username didn't cross her mind, it would be fine, because it meant she wouldn't wanna check it out once more, like it's amber's own personal diary.

even if it the idea of forgetting it made her anxious. even if not thinking about her hurt as much as thinking about her.

her dreams became more and more jumbled after that, psychedelic counterparts to the very real memories her brain decides to play on repeat as soon as she closes her eyes.

amber seemed more strange with every night: hands a little rougher than what she remembers when her mind replays her choking her neck, face more, and more, and more distorted as she burns alive. sometimes she was taller than she actually was, other times, she seemed shorter than tara. she never used these rings, and what was that pendant on her necklace? her eyes didn’t seem her own, her hair was somehow not right. didn’t she have a beauty mark somewhere on her face? i could swear her smile was different. why does everything seem so wrong?

i’ll make it quick, the person in her dreams would say as it places tara in the closet, voice just not quite right, tying her body instead of just her hands. wasn’t it different? is this what actually happened? i promise, tara. i'll end her and come back for you. i'll take care of you.

(she never said that.

did she say that?

what did she say, anyway?)

𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐂𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 - platonic.

flash warning !

summary : in which [name], yuuji, megumi, and nobara had one mission to eliminate the curse but found themselves in each other's bodies.

pairing : none because why not ?

notes : if you know by who i was inspired by for your powers mwah on ur forehead + i hate writing with "you" so i'll go back with "she"🫶🏿. + a lot of time skip + it is awful <3

───── Sitting in the front with Ijichi, you took the time to give yourself a makeover, which you missed this morning due to the sudden knock on the door. Not paying attention to what was going on around you, you turned your gaze to your brunette friend. "Nobara, is my liner all right? I think the one on the right is longer.”

Feeling stressed under the hard gaze of the girl who proceeded to shake her head - “Nothing to worry, your liner looks perfect !” A sigh of relief left your mouth not noticing the stares of the boys behind you. However, a clearing of the throat caught your attention: it was Ijichi. Understanding his signal, you put your make-up away and took the time to listen.

"A level two curse had been reported in an abandoned amusement park,” he explained calmly under the attentive ears of the young teenagers, “we don’t have much information on it, nobody seemed to have been attacked by it.” He finished while parking the car, you and Nobara could only wince at this lack of information.

“So we're being thrown into the lion's den, I’m not even surprised anymore.”

“It’s not Ijichi-san’s fault.”

“Don’t worry Ijichi-san we’ll take care of it, right guys ?” Optimistic as ever, Yuuji managed to get a smile from the black hair - nervous, admittedly, but a smile nonetheless - while Megumi simply nodded, Nobara returned a confident smile and you rolled your eyes before looking at your watch.

Seeing the time on the clock, your eyes widened in surprise, you rushed towards the boys and grabbed them by the collar - "We've got to hurry, I've got a date with that boy in two hours! If I miss it, I promise you'll never see the light of day again." The duo nervously sweat dropped at your sudden change of attitude, but did not say anything.

"Don't forget I have to help you with your outfit!" Nobara added as she joined you right after you.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

The closer the creepier it would get, yet it was the morning you couldn’t imagine the color pattern at night a shiver came tickling your spine. First thing that welcomed your group was the huge clown’s head which saw itself losing its colors. His mouth was wide open, smiling mockingly. No matter how much you looked around, everything seemed to be really scary, and nothing he found as an attraction attracted you, making you wonder how this park ever worked.

“This place gives me the creeps . .” You mumbled while following your friends, Yuuji on the other hand seemed quite in awe of the place, “Man I wish I could have been here before it got closed !” he said with his tone revealing all of his happiness, the three of you could even see stars in his eyes.

You only frowned at his statement before remembering how much he loves these kinds of things, noticing how calm the place was when you opened your mouth - “Guys, I think we should split into duos. It would be much easier, plus we don’t know what to expect.” - As you talked you looked at each of them, seeing their expressions reassured you, they seemed to agree.

“I agree, I’ll go with Nobara and you’ll go with Itadori.”

With firm nods you parted ways and started to walk along with the pink hair, carefully looking around there were some distorting mirrors that were more or less in good condition, seeing your reflection lying there Yuuji couldn't help but let out a laugh. You couldn't let the smile spread across your face. Yuuji was a ball of happiness, but only moments later the creature's presence grew stronger and stronger.

“Yuuji be ready I can feel it.”

“Play with me . .” A distorted sounding voice began to echo in your ears, repeating the same words, warning you of a creature that was surprisingly small in stature. But it contained a great mass of occult energy. The creature was adorable in appearance, small and round with short legs that happened to be hidden by its body, it was pastel blue and had large black eyes that looked like spiral squiggles.

“It has to be the cutest curse I’ve ever seen.” You admitted, “Sorry sweetie but playing with you won’t be possible.” Removing your earrings, two new figures appeared: twins with blond hair, one of whom happened to be slightly taller than his brother.

"I've missed your beauty so much!" It was Yuto, who was on one knee on the ground kissing your hand as Kuto looked on in disgust - "Now I understand why her ego seems to grow bigger every day..." Murmuring the pink-haired sweat dropping in front of the stage, your amount of confidence would sometimes be at the same level as your teacher.

“It's for things like this that I like to summon you Yuto you always know what to tell me but enough talk, let's get to work!"

The two curse weapons were transformed into firearms, making it possible to attack from a distance while Yuuji took care of the close-range attack, which seemed to work at the start of the fight. Until it opened its mouth, sucking up everything in its path. You hated that feeling of humiliation you felt towards such a tiny opponent, and that sensation of being sucked in you could only be drawn towards the curse.

Trying to shield your face, you saw your friend clinging to a lamppost that was about to fly into the wolf's mouth. "Kuto, Yuto we have to help Yuuji!" you cried, "Yuuji catch!" you threw him one of your weapons, a white light appeared and a rope appeared binding you both together.

Trying to pull as hard as you could, it seemed impossible.

“What’s going on ?!” Nobara was holding you by the waist, pushing you towards her, and Megumi was standing there.

“We’re having fun,” you stated sarcastically, "The goal of the game is simple: the first one who ends up in the stomach is the one - no but what do you think?!" Glaring at you, the brunette didn't have time to reply before she felt herself being sucked in, the four of you can only let out screams before being swallowed.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Opening your eyes slowly, you stroked the top of your head and let out a groan, feeling a slight headache as you did so. Nobara happened to be the first to wake up - "Aah Nobara we're alive, is my hair all right you know how much trouble I had styling it this morning!" At the sound of your voice you stopped immediately, your voice had become much deeper, with a lighter gentleness added to it. Wanting to be sure, you turned to see your body waking up.

"Tell me I'm dreaming ..." You fell to your knees, grabbing 'your' face as exaggerated tears streamed down Itadori's face, and then it was Nobara's turn to panic, as she was in Megumi's body.

"We need to find a solution and I don't like it at all!"

"Hey, my body's not that bad!"

"Not only am I in it, but Sukuna's in it too, If I need to remind you!"

"Oh..I forgot."

"She's right, [name] doesn't necessarily have the ability to control your body like you do. This is turning out to be a lot more complicated than I expected." Explained Megumi who was trapped in Nobara's body, eyebrows frowned thumb and forefinger under her chin.The Nobara who was trapped in Megumi's body nodded.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Later in the morning you found yourself forced to cancel your date with the handsome brunette you had met at the mall. Currently you found yourself sitting in Yuuji's office chair waiting for more suitable clothes.For the shopping trip you planned with Nobara while waiting for the curse to be found. A few moments later Yuuji pulled out a sweatshirt and a pair of jogging bottoms. "Here, this should be okay !"

“Hmm sure, and here you go,” you handed him your clothes before standing up,”Do not get dressed before I come back.” It was out of the question for him to see your body without you knowing, it would be embarrassing, so you went back to your room and undressed with your eyes closed. Not wanting to see Itadori's body, you used your touch to change and it was easy to get changed.

Looking at yourself in the mirror, you worked out a few details before taking your make-up kit and accessories with you. Hurrying towards his room, you knocked before entering - "It's about time I thought you - er, why do you have so much stuff in your hands?" You laughed at the look on his face before placing your equipment on his desk.

"What question is that, my face loves being pumped so that's what I'm going to do. Come on, close your eyes." You removed the uniform from your body, leaving it in your underwear, before stacking your outfit piece by piece.

A white off shoulder cashmere showed off your shoulders and stopped at the level of your hips, while the bottoms were a pair of low-rise gray-blue jeans decorated with a belt. You slipped on a simple pair of trainers before starting on the make-up. As much as you liked taking care of yourself and putting on make-up, today you were thinking much more about your friend's comfort, after all, he was the one in your body, so you put extravagance to one side.

“You look so pretty,” pushing him in front of the mirror, letting him admire your work,”What do you think ?”

"You've done a great job [name] as usual!" He gave you a thumbs-up as he smiled, "Although the circumstances are still bizarre ... ..." He scratched the back of his (your) head.

“Don’t remind me.”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

It was in a somewhat chaotic mood that the clothes fitting for you and the brunette took place. You would have liked to see the clothes on your bodies, but for obvious reasons this was not possible. Nevertheless, you did pick up a few pieces. Continuing your walk through the shop alongside the brunette, you spotted a cuddly toy that reminded you of him, who was sulking nearby.

"Look at these fake nails, they're so cute!

"They'd totally suit you!"

"Well girls, we're getting a bit tired here!" Yuuji complained, getting confused looks from the customers, while Megumi (in Nobara's body) pretended not to know you, bothered by the sudden attention. Rolling your eyes, you headed for the till to pay for your shopping before joining the boys (in each of the girls' bodies) waiting outside the shop.

Once you'd finished, you joined the duo waiting for you as they walked together out of the shopping center. A café caught your eye - " How about a little something to eat before we go back? Smiling, you pointed to the café, receiving positive responses.

"But you pay." Said Nobara (in Megumi's form), walking past you (Yuuji's form), owlishly blinking your eyes confused you pointed at yourself (Yuuji's form).

"Yeah it was your idea after all.." Seconded the real black hair, stuck into the brunette's body.

"You guys are the worst." You grumbled walking behind them a pout on your face (Yuuji's face). Walking in the cafe, everything inside was so pretty, the pastel colour palette dominating every corner of the shop making you feel like a princess in a man's body. The pastries in the window made you want to eat them, they were so pleasing to the eye, but in the mouth? The joy of being in the body of a growing teenage boy!

Arriving at the counter you all took your order, which you had the false joy of paying for. Sitting down at a table, you began to eat, but you stopped Yuuji in his tracks, grabbing his wrist. "Don't move." You took out your phone and took a picture of him (your appearance).

"Come on [name] I'm hungry!!!"

"Yes, two seconds, I can still take photos of myself can't I?!"

"There's not a second where you can't stop embarrassing me …"

"You'll have to get used to them, Fushiguro." Says Nobara said as she sipped her drink, watching you and the pink-haired girl argue meanwhile the spiky hair (in Nobara's body) could only sweat dropped at her statement.

"[name] I thought you couldn't go out today ?"

Hearing your name, you stopped pulling on your body, which had been conquered by Itadori. Turning, you met the dark-haired man with whom you were to spend the day. Yutso. He looked at your body, his eyebrows furrowed and his mouth slightly open.

The whole table was silent, an atmosphere of embarrassment hanging over you but not seeming to affect the young man who was waiting for an answer. Stumbling over your words, you finally tried to open your mouth but were quickly cut off.

"You should have tell me if you wanted to spend time with your friends over me I would've understand . . ."

He offered you a forced smile veiling his sadness, ashamed you lowered your head (Itadori's head). Your body seemed completely elsewhere before being kicked by the duo who had noticed your discomfort with the situation, both of them began to glare at him.

Clearing his throat (your throat) Yuuji spoke, "I'm sorry for lying to you, I was caught in a family situation with my cousins over here and I didn't want to bother you with my problems. ." Yuuji softly explained.

"I understand but, if you want to talk about it I'm here and if you want to take your mind off it we can always plan a date for another day." Then he hurried on, "I mean, if you want to!"

"I would love that !" It took you five seconds before you realized your mistake due to the look you received from the latter who was looking at you with wide eyes, you corrected yourself before continuing "For the two of you I meant."

"You have some supportive cousins I see !" Yuuji nodded, and accepted the invitation for you before greeting the brunette who had to leave.

"I can't believe I had to witness your hormonal surge." Just hearing that voice it irked you.

"Not the wannabe Ben 10 alien talking now . ."

Ignoring the words coming out of the mouth that had appeared on your cheek, you were happy with the course of things and ate with peace of mind while chatting with your friends.

“I almost forgot,” you said before rummaging in your bag, pulling out a plushie, it was a brown rabbit with pink bows that was at ear level, “She reminded me of you, adorable and so kind. Plus it's a thanks for coming with me and Yutso." You handed him the gift happy to know that he was liked it.

"Woah you're the best [name] it's so sweet, thank you !"

At the same moment you found yourself with the cuddly toy in your hands, then you looked ahead and saw Itadori in front of you, looking to your left and seeing Kugisaki looking back at you. You quickly understood and you both high five, again giving the cuddly toy to Itadori, the four of you let out a breath of relief.

"Ah I missed my body, we should thanks Gojo-sensei after !"

"Agree !" The rest of them immediately nodded. Grateful for his help. But knowing your teacher.

"Thinking about it, he will probably remind us how humiliating that mission was for us and mock us so how about we ignore him ?" You asked, they all nodded excepted Yuuji who was enjoying his plushie and food.

"You're right."

Tlette Tlursday #11

Let’s talk about maps!

Tlette has two and a half words for maps, to refer to two very different kinds. The first kind is a tlalkequ /tɬaɬ.ˈkɛ.qu/, or tlalké /tɬaɬ.ˈke/ for short. The longer word is used in formal Tlette, and the shorter one in informal speech. Their plurals are tlalkeqúy /tɬaɬ.kɛ.ˈquj/ and tlalkéy /tɬaɬ.ˈkej/ respectively. This kind of map is relatively small-scale, used for navigation. The category includes street maps of towns and cities and maps of roads between nearby towns and cities, but not much larger-scale than that. The word comes from the verb kequ /ˈkɛ.qu/, meaning “to guide” or “to lead.” It’s derived as an inanimate agentive noun, like tlahllán, so it literally means “thing that guides.”

Tlalkéy are often very inacurrate in terms of scale and proportion. They’re not attempts to accurately depict the world as it is; instead, they’re navigational tools. They show how roads meet and what landmarks they are, which are the important things one needs when traveling, but will often distort distances and angles as a matter of convenience for the mapmaker and map-reader. In a way they’re a lot like subway maps!

From left to right: tlalkequ, tlalké, tlalkeqúy, tlalkéy, kequ.

To talk about the other kind of map, first I need to talk about the world where Tlette is spoken. I’ve talked a bit about it in some previous posts, but here’s a brief overview: it’s a fantasy world that is completely fixed in space, neither orbiting a sun nor rotating on an axis. It has no moon, so the only celestial objects are the stars, which don’t move in the sky—unless you travel. For every star in the sky, there’s a place on the surface of the world where that star is directly overhead, and for many cultures each star is thought of as a deity that protects that part of the world.

This is true of the Tlette people and their neighbors who speak Mindutme. The associations between places and stars are so strong that the Tlette word for the Mindutme speakers is Kottúllate, derived from name of the brightest star above where those people live. Many other exonyms in Tlette are derived from the names of stars rather than names from the respective languages. Tlette fiction even sometimes describes travelers journeying to far-off lands, referring to made-up places and peoples with names of stars that Tlette speakers are familiar with.

So the other kind of map that Tlette speakers use is called a kıssì /kɨs.ˈsɨ/, plural kısswí /kɨs.ˈswi/. The word comes from a borrowing from Old Mindutme, *kus suu, literally “star paper.” It’s basically a star map with additions, showing (usually with two different colors of ink) major stars and major cities, plus some combination of coastlines, rivers, roads, borders, and such.

kıssì, kısswí

Because kıssì maps are drawn so that the stars on the paper match the stars as they are seen in the sky, the geographical features on them are actually mirrored! If you were to travel using such a map, you would orient it with your destination at the bottom. That way, the stars above you are near the center of the map, and those nearer to the horizon ahead of you are at the bottom, and stars to your left are on the left side of the paper as well. You could also think of holding the map above your head to match up with the stars, in which case the bottom of the map actually is farther ahead. But Tlette speakers are used to mirrored maps, so they don’t usually do that.

The map at the top of the post is a kıssì. It’s more of a sketch, really, and not necessarily final—I’m not sure how much I want to even define the map of this world at all. Don’t look too closely or you’ll see I don’t really know much about how rivers work!

The map is labeled Tan Qelút /ˌtã.qɛ.ˈlut/, “The Known World,” though it’s a fairly small portion of the world. In black are the stars and national borders, drawn very abstractly. Some other maps may show borders in more detail, but they are often defined broadly as paths between major stars, and narrowly by geographical features that line up with those paths for a stretch. The large polygon is Lwé Tlette, and the smaller one to its left is Lwé Kottúllate, where Mindutme is spoken; the large star within that region is Kottú. A few other important stars are also labeled, and in purple are coastlines and rivers.

*INCOMING TRANSMISSION*

[Closest screen distorts into static before a green question mark appears]

"Oh, I knew I forgot something! Of all things, I forgot to send the riddle! Hope you like fiction!"

[Quick typing can be heard, and soon, the question mark on the screen is replaced with words. It reads "Coming in many different colors, some rarer than most, it was the heart of their blades, and helped brought hope."]

"What am I?"

"Ed, I swear, if you're bothering someone online again with your riddles-"

"But Jon! It's boring here! Plus, this one has multiple other versions of me!"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Oh, you heard me and you know it!"

"Oh dear lord- wait, Poe, no! How did you get in again!?"

"GAH- BAD RAVEN- WAIT, NO, STOP PECKING TH-"

*TRANSMISSION ENDED*

[The screen glitches out for a bit, random symbols and letters appearing before the screen turns off]

That didn't sound like it ended well on your end, but I'm glad we got the riddle this time.

It's a good thing one of them is a total sci-fi nerd.

Otherwise, the answer you would have gotten was my incoherent mumbling at 3 AM.

hi ! do you have any tips on how to choose colors/color palettes ? your color choices are work so so well together !! your art is absolutely gorgeous, keep it up ! 💛

aw thank you so much! i do have some rules of thumb i go by whenever i draw but i'm not sure how much it'd be of help. i'll list them anyways JKHDFA

1.) one thing i generally always do is avoid black and white in my art unless i'm making a really dark or light piece. they're not bad shades and you're not doing art "wrong" by using them but if i want my palette to look more interesting i use dark, saturated purples and blues (lineart and shading) or tinted grays and pastels (highlights, eye whites and teeth). they do pop up on occasion though

2.) i go for contrasting colors. red/blue, orange/blue, purple/green are some of my favorites to use. in particular, i've noticed a pattern where i use honeyed oranges, wine, reddish browns and such for the main color and then utilize teals and grayish blues for the dark parts of a piece. so i'd say that, going that route, your best shot is to know which color serves what purpose when rendering

3.) this isn't really to do with choosing colors but i still find it helps. when you're figuring out your palette, using a blank gray background is your best friend. white and black both distort how light or dark you perceive your colors and plus gray is just more easy on the eye

4.) a lot of people will tell you this but REFERENCES. they work, trust me! don't be afraid to look at art whose colors you really like and then pick them out to see what the artist has glued together

5.) this is also really well known but i'll include it anyways. when you shade, it'll always end up looking better if you shift the color wheel just a little to the side and then play with the saturation. instead of shading blue with a slightly darker blue try purple instead; yellow - peachy orange; red - darker magenta and so on and so forth

i guess in general, the best way i can describe the process is just.. taking the colors and shifting them a bit so they look a little off or new. like turning the color wheel just a bit towards green so your yellow looks a little sickly. sorry if this doesn't help but i genuinely have no idea what i'm doing ever i just slap shit together until it looks good LOL

Gon let out a small breath that dispelled the anxiety from his stomach. Gon was really good at feigning confidence, he faked it so well, its infectious energy made him feel as though he really was brave through everything and gave him the push to do things most people cowed away from.

He only got these feelings right before Gon intuitively felt something terrible was going to happen, like a storm brewing quickly on the horizon while you were in the middle of calm, deep, ominous ocean. The small breath usually centered him again.

“Are you sure you absolutely have to find death?” Gon’s latest companion asked from beside him, flicking a bang of white hair from his sharp blue eyes, his nose scrunched in doubt. Killua was against this plan since Gon’s explained it. Well, Killua’s been against this whole journey Gon was on, but still agreed to help. Now Killua was specifically against this current plan on how to get it done.

“When I spoke to the fae, he told me the Ar-Bar Viva was the best place to get information on Death’s whereabouts.” Gon said, grinning at Killua and Killua once again rolled his eyes.

“Unlikely. No one knows where he is…” Killua muttered darkly to himself, pinning his glance to one side away from the doors ahead of them. Killua has been pessimistic about it but Gon’s been grateful that he’s stuck around anyways. It’s a little disorienting, traversing the aephemeral plane once Gon’s entered, not many humans travel here and fewer even stay here, it’s easy to lose your life to the natural susceptibilities in human like entities here- many try to trick humans out of their lives or- just from their natural purpose- take humans under their influence. Killua who lives here as some sort of being- Gon hasn’t asked and Killua hasn’t offered- been working as a sort of guide to Gon in the realm.

Gon smiled good naturedly to Killua and tried to elbow him playfully, and like all the other times, Killua swerved his body in a way to avoid contact with Gon. Killua was completely averse to physical touch to the point Gon was sure it was in some form to protect Gon. But it made Killua so mildly annoyed and it amused Gon how Killua always sensed just when Gon was trying to touch him that Gon kept attempting every so often, acting like it was out of human habit. Plus Killua hasn’t actually snapped at him about it, so Gon doesn’t think he minds, not really.

“Come on, Killua, you’ve got to have a better mindset about this. This has to work” Gon said, pushing past the doors to get inside the bar, and was immediately swathed in heavy heat floating close to the roof of the establishment and the smell of incense and inebriating smoke. Gon’s eyes swept across the people in the bar who stared back at him like he was the main show, a sore thumb stuck out in a place that would be boring otherwise. Gon might actually be a sore thumb, with some of the gear he’s gathered while he’s been here, a dialette engraved dagger at his hilt, a piercing cloak to keep from being hit by projectiles, fanciful fabric designed on the shimmery surface, a binding spell earring that catches and absorbs any spells thrown his way and allows him to release it back out at his will, he was a little more prepared now than he was before he came here.

But he just stood tall and stared back appraisingly for his target. He knows how to exude enough confidence to trick people into thinking he belongs here, down here, and not to be messed with. The entities here enjoyed drinks and smokes that would probably kill humans or lesser beings, or their brain would melt from what the hallucinogens would reveal to them. Their skins varied in as many colors of the rainbows and others Gon has never seen, some entities with too many eyes and others he couldn’t look directly at because his vision distorted and his brain could not comprehend the shape. Gon finally landed on his target, within an enclave in the wall of the establishment, parted light curtains to create a sense of semi privacy and importance, a snakeful lounging person, the tendrils of their tails curling and crossing so it looks like his upperbody is sitting in a writhing nest, and he sipped on a tall oblong glass while a long thin stick lazed between his pinched and painted lips, smoke tendrils lazily floating up past his hanging talismen.

Gon’s eyebrows set in determination and began making his way across to him like he owned the place.

“Oy.” Killua’s voice cut sharply through the bar’s low voices and music, and Gon felt Killua’s intention to stop. Killua didn’t really touch anything so when he needed to catch someone’s attention, Gon’s found Killua can send out intentions that feel as solid as a phantom touch from a hand or an intuition.

They weren’t too far from the man right now, and he appraised them interested but they were too far for him to ascertain if he was their target. They could still leave. Gon turned to Killua, raising an eyebrow.

“Please don’t tell me that’s who we’re here to see.” Killua said, scolding, caution, and weariness swimming in his eyes. Gon could always read Killua so easily, and he was sort of addicted to seeing what new emotions he could drag up into Killua’s face. “It’s a bad idea, Gon. That one is no good. He’s a trickster, a gambler, almost everything he says is a lie and almost never upholds his ends of his deals.” Killua explained in a hushed tone, giving a quick glance around at those around him.

“I’m pretty good at telling when someone is lying.” Gon assured Killua, and reached out his hand to grab Killua’s assuringly. Or he would if Killua didn’t swing his hand the other way and give Gon an irritated unimpressed look while Gon suppressed a smile. Poorly. “Even if he doesn’t give me everything, I know I can get the information I need.” Gon said and turned back to the man. Killua’s wall to keep him in place was no longer there and Gon went on with his plan. Behind him, Gon’s blessed ears heard Killua muttered, “I dont like this…”

Gon approached the snake man, and he could practically feel the other patrons at the bar vibrate with excitement, they had bloodlust and wanted to see violence. It raised Gon’s awareness, acute to any sudden movements, their energy prepping Gon for a fight from the man but he was surprised when the snake made no effort to stop or address Gon as he stepped past the curtain and talisman hanging above the enclave. Killua turned at the entrance of the seating area and leaned against the wall, perched with ease but a dangerous aura surrounding him to keep others from trying anything funny.

“Mmhh, what do I owe the pleasure of such a beautiful human specimen visiting me?” The snake man asked with a husky voice.

“Where can I find death?” Gon asked, no point in dancing around what he needs if this man will just try to talk him into circles. He grinned wider.

“What’s your name?” The snake asked. Gon just shook his head in response and caught Killua’s approving nod from the corner of his eye. The man grinned wider.

“We can exchange, my name is Hisoka.” The snake said and put out a hand to shake, black intricate markings on the back of his hand like beautiful vase work. Killua glanced over his shoulder at Hisoka and then back out over the general audience of the bar which had gotten back into their normal routine. Gon glanced at the hand, he knew no harm could really come to him if it’s from a casted spell or projectile. But he didn’t know what kind of entity was Hisoka, he could die naturally just by Hisoka’s purpose or some other means he can’t account for him.

“You know I am human, so I’ll be cautious of touch.” Gon said to Hisoka. Hisoka’s wired his mouth to one side but still seemed highly in a good mood.

“Alright, I understand, human.” The snake purred with the back of his tongue. “You asked for information. This I do not give out free.” Hisoka said. Gon tensed but nodded. He knows this much at least. But he has to know- Death’s the one that will most likely have Kite. Gon was so stupid, deadset on finding his father, he didn’t realize he could lose someone that was with him through the journey the whole time. Gon had to find him to see Kite one last time and apologize. Make sure Kite knows how much he meant to Gon. Gon grew up a sailor, he knows how to bargain.

“Name your price, we can see if we come to an agreement.” Gon said. Hisoka grinned with a sharp set of teeth but the next time he opened his mouth, they were harmless, human sets.

“I do not need much, I will tell you what I know. All I want is for you to do a favor for me before you leave the bar.” Hisoka said.

“Lies.” Killua whispered but it felt like Gon could hear it sweetly only in his ears.

“Mh, cute friend you have here.” Hisoka grinned towards Killua and Gon bristled.

“I won’t kill anyone. And I do not have enough money to buy something exorbitant.” Gon said. Hisoka grinned and nodded.

“That’s not a problem. I have information you want, but honestly, it’s not exclusive to me. It’d be mean to ask for a large favor in response, I want a favor equal to what you are asking for. No buying, no crazy actions, it’s really just something simple.” Hisoka said.

“Why not clear up what the favor is right now?” Gon asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Well, that’s information, and part of the exchange is information, isn’t it?” Hisoka grinned and Gon let out a breath before looking Hisoka over. He seems harmless, relaxed enough that he doesn’t even seem poised to attack or fight. Nothing tells Gon he should be worried about a physical resistance. So now it’s just mind games or puzzles he’d have to worry about. And with Killua with him, he has nothing to worry about. Gon gave a curt nod once to agree to Hisoka’s terms.

The snake coils tightened and writhed excitedly as Hisoka leaned forward, pulling the smoke of whatever it was from his lips and placing the flute of drink down, but his face didn’t betray any excitement. With a last exhale of smoke from his lips, Hisoka met Gon’s face properly.

“You’re looking for death, but to find him, you should understand his position in this realm. You’ve heard of the four horsemen of the apocalypse: war, famine, conquest, and of course death. They are family, and work in both tandem and against each other. They should never strike together, lest the apocalypse begins, but they all have work and purpose in the human realm.” Hisoka said and Gon nodded, listening intently. “Well, they have their locations here in the aephermeral realm, an ashen landscape with towers for each to commune and also stay apart from each other.” Hisoka said. “The badlands.”

Gon stiffened, immediately latching onto that piece of information. The badlands- ashen, towers- he can find it. Then he can find death and then he can find Kite and apologize to him. Hisoka’s tongue flickered out while his eyes widened with pleasant surprise.

“Ah, the way your eyes light up is beautiful… such determination! You must be really determined to chase your kill… But it’s not that easy, Gon. There’s been… a recent development.” Hisoka grinned and Gon narrowed his eyes in suspicion, a slight uneasy feeling in his stomach. He let out a small breath to get his confidence back and listen with baseless assurance.

“Recently the horsemen death has run from his position in a powergrab dash, took conquest and ran off with their handler- diablo.” Hisoka grinned, having too much fun weaving this tale. Gon’s spine tingled with unease.

“The devil?” Gon asked, a bit breathless. He knew that there were a lot of entities that influenced the human realm here- greed, cowardice, the tingly feeling you get when that one mirror is uncovered in the attic- but he didn’t think anything as big as a god like the devil was down here.

“He drives the four horsemen forward, they bend to his will. Once his master plan is ready, thats when he’ll direct them to attack all at once to bring the apocalypse. But now he has left with the horsemen- the rumors around the place is either death stole the devil away with unknown magicks to control the handler and come into power through puppetry rule, or the devil convinced death and conquest to run with him.” Hisoka explained. “No one really knows what happened, except maybe the other horsemen and riders. And no one can really confirm- you see, if you enter the badlands unprepared, you can lose all your memories, your soul, even your life. So the number of people who have seen who the horsemen are or what they look are slim and far inbetween, except for a few exceptions- close confidants, allies, riders and inhabitants of the badlands- the harbingers. So that might be your best bet to find where death is. Start with his domain.” Hisoka said, emphasizing the unsurity of this whole quest. But Gon already knew that this is all based on blindly groping around untrodden territory! It won’t be the reason he slows down now. Gon frowned as his mind whirled with the information, trying to develop next solid steps based on maybes and guesses.

“What about the kills? Can I find the spirits death takes in his domain?” Gon asked. Maybe if he didn’t know where death was but found where he kept the souls, he can sneak in and out after finding Kite. It was only a slight backstep that Death has run from his post.

“Sorry, death takes the souls, but doens’t tend to them, that is for the death’s angel, hades, to manage. You won’t find the souls in death’s domain.” Hisoka said. Gon huffed, but he needed either hades or death to direct him. Well, either way it sounds like his next steps are to go to the badlands and find out where death went or where hades keep the souls. He’s getting closer tho.

“Thank you for the information.” Gon said, his voice serious as he continued to keep his full attention onto Hisoka. “I want to get started right away, so… your favor, that I need to do before I leave here, what is it?”

There was a noticeable shift in the air as Hisoka narrowed his eyes. It seeped from Hisoka and spread until it affected the whole bar. It made Gon’s hair stand on end and Killua sat stragihter up from the wall alert.

“My favor… Gon…” Hisoka said and Gon shuddered, cold chill running through him- he never told this demon his name. “If you can go ahead and die for me.” Hisoka grinned and the bar sprang into action.

Gon let out a choking gasp, turning to see every entity in the bar unload their ethereal weapons, melee and long range, soul and physical. Gon turned back to Hisoka, livid. He smashed his fists into the back plush of the seat Hisoka was just sitting in, having made his getaway in the split second Gon turned his attention away.

“Gon!” Killua’s voice cracked through the static ringing in Gon’s ears. Gon’s eyes snapped back to the enclave entrance where Killua was attempting to block the way inside. But he had no weapons and his thin and wiry frame lended to no intimidation to these people. Gon’s adrenaline was running and he needed to focus now to protect his partner, give that rage outlet somewhere to go.

Gon pushed forward past the curtains billowing behind him, and pulled out his dialette dagger, coming just in time as Killua flinched out the way of a sword’s downward swing. He caught the edge with his re-inforced dagger and pushed them back with a spray of stardust. He turned and jabbed his dagger into another one nearby and kicked back with his foot to keep another one from advancing on them.

Gon caught Killua’s expression as he turned to attack another bar patreon, genuine fear swimming in those beautiful pools of blue, and Gon let out another angry growl. He knew coming to the aephemeral plane, his life would be at risk, but it was worth it for Kite. He could throw it all away knowing what he was gambling with. But Killua who has been a constant companion for weeks now, soft and gentle, witty and funny, he’s here out of the goodness of his heart, or whatever equivalent, and the fact that Hisoka would threaten his life while Gon was around, it made him even angrier.

“Gon, to your left!” Killua called out, pressing himself closer to the wall. Shit, Gon learned how to fight well during his times in the aephemeral realm, and he knows how to bar brawl but this was becoming overwhelming. It was one thing to fight whatever his fists made contact with while everyone else was against everyone else too, but all eyes were on him and they were starting to swarm.

Gon slashed another person down and jolted as a soul piercing arrow hit his cloak, but not him- still safe. He growled and released the spells from his binding earrings, a shot of fire into the entitiy and knocked them off their feet. Another took their place and Gon stabbed forward, but they clenched their muscles as they fell back and the dagger flew from Gon’s grasp, lodged in their body. Gon let out a surprised cry and he vaguely heard Killua cry his name but Gon’s static in his ears were much too loud as he saw the large bull man bring a heavy two handed axe down over his head. He had alot of magick protection but nothing for blunt damage.

The next thing Gon saw was a pale hand griping the bull man’s wrist. It was petite and didn’t even wrap fully around the bulky wrist, it seemed almost staged how this grip stopped the full moment swing. But the bull man let out a horrified cry as the skin in contact with this hand began to gray and wring out. The eyes glazed over, losing its color to a misty gray and the bull fell over, half his arm looking like something from a crypt. This happened in a few seconds and it stopped everyone in their tracks for a moment. Gon blinked, what just happened?

Then Killua was moving in front of him, a dark glower on his face and his eyes so dark blue they were almost black as they were shadowed by his bangs. Gon shivered, he looked terrifying, his aura immense like Gon’s never felt since being here- since being next to Killua. The crowd recovered and attempted to push past Killua to get to Gon and that proved multiple people’s fatal mistake. With a flash of blue fire, a white hot steel scythe materialized and with an effortless swing, braced around Killua’s hips, three of the closest people fell to their death, their eyes various shades of white and grays.

Gon stumbled back, adrenaline crashing down and leaving him breathless, watching Killua keep the crowd off them.

“I was serious when I set to help you.” Hisoka’s voice sounded in Gon’s ear and he startled, turning his head. He registered Hisoka floating besides him- no, the end of his seemingly never ending snake tail was wrapped up in the rafter’s of the bar’s roof, suspending him at Gon’s level. Then Hisoka was smacking a piece of paper to Gon’s face but he could see through it like it was sheer fabric.

“What are you-”

“The favor you gave me is the most fun I could have asked for- this talisman of true seeing will help you on your true next step of the journey.” Hisoka said and physically turned Gon’s head to look back at Killua. It was a little disorienting, it was like seeing two different pictures overlapping with each other in each of his eyes but then the magicks kicked in and Gon could see Killua’s form bleeding through what Gon knew Killua to look like this whole time. Half a face of skull, blue flames dancing around him, a billowing cloak made of the galaxy expanse and the black and blue and silver and white sythe, the image flicking as he gave another smooth upward slash and claiming four more souls in the motion. Gon’s been traveling with who he has been chasing this whole time.

Killua was the pale horseman, Death.

Second Spellings: Runners-Up ~

Our runners-up this week are @bergdg, @helloijustreadyourpost, and @hypexion!

@bergdg — The Great Conjuration

I don't really know where blue and green became the shapeshifteryest of shapeshifter colors (or rather, I get the gist because blue = mutability and green = nature). When you have these together, though, you get a card like this which is really damn sweet. This card obviously puts a massive target on your back, but if you go fast enough, you can ensure that the power behind your creatures can swing fully and completely. Or rather, that you have at least one explosive turn. Having all the cards be exiled can be a feel-bad, but there are great ways to exploit this and even better ways that this card is just plain fun.

For example: naming Eldrazi allows you to cast Emrakul off a Blisterpod. Honestly, do I need to name any other examples after that? I think that the only major revision I would make would be for the last ability to say "You may cast any number of cards exiled with ~ this turn without paying their mana costs." I'm not sure where you got the "one or more" wording from, but hey, that's a small issue for such a fun card. It's extremely narrow and more often than not feels like it would be a glass cannon—so yeah, perfectly reasonable for what the conjuration is implying, right? Side note: amazing art skills there. The mood conveys the gist conveys the extremity.

@helloijustreadyourpost — Sky Dancer

I like the Shakespeare reference in the flavor text, and I think it speaks to some kind of faerie perspective that's not quite translatable to human thought—or at least that feels like the intention, the way that the fae see the world. That is to say, I like both the simplicity and the ambiguity. It's actually tied with the effect for the card, which is a potentially quite powerful effect at common! I can't think of any specific effects with which it's broken, at least not at the moment.

So what you have is the ability to swing in with your fliers and then be on the defense, plus if you have any flash synergy you can utilize that to make combat harder for your opponents. All checks out. Cast triggers at common aren't the easiest to grok, but at the same time, this effect doesn't use too much complex space because of no inherent tap ability; I'm thinking of how my students sometimes get juked out with weird Thermo-Alchemist triggers, y'know. By itself, it's a card that does just what Faeries want to do at common, and I think that the only possible change I'd make would be to make it a 1/2, and even that's negligible. Solid common design!

@hypexion — Distortion Skitterer

As an uncommon? You're treading hazardous ground... But, it's a seven-mana 4/4 so that's honestly not so bad. Making additional 4/4s with trample is pretty nasty and you do get one on cast, but holy crap, that's still really fun to play, and fairly limiting all things considered. The amount of times that this would've come up in OGW limited would be pretty little, which is reasonable, but getting two of them or getting just one trigger off would be pretty nasty. Considering that MH3 is going to have even more? Wow. I think that the double-C is quite reasonable for the setup.

Honestly this card speaks for itself—the power level is comparable to the more powerful uncommons of its era, it's an Eldrazi that makes more Eldrazi, and you've got a pretty reasonable wording to show how nuts it can be. FYI, the cast trigger for other spells would actually be its own thing, e.g. "When you cast this spell and whenever you cast a spell with {C} in its mana cost..." I believe you don't have to specify "on the battlefield" because, like Cityscape Leveler, it implies the zone with the wording on the trigger. That said, it's fairly complex, so I understand if things got finicky. Flavor text is a solid B+, too! Just remember to put the period inside the quotation marks. I guess a runner-up flavor would've been Zurdi saying that they missed the scute bugs.

Commentary soon! @abelzumi
