Ao'nung, looking at Neteyam: What's with the clothes? Neteyam: Oh, Tuk decorated me. Ao'nung: Don't you mean dressed? Tuk, happily yelling at anyone who walks past: I decorated Neteyam! Ao'nung: Ah.

Spider, pulling on one of Lo'ak's arms: I found him first! Tsireya, pulling on Lo'ak's other arm: He liked me first! Lo'ak: There is enough of me to go around Spider and Tsireya: Stay out it!

New Chapter of Whoops. Teaser

The hunting grounds are empty when they arrive just as Ao’nung predicted. It leaves the two alone to hunt by themselves. Though, the young couple seems too focused on each other to actually hunt. Rather than actually hunting, they stay in knee deep water, messing around. Neteyam bends down and pushes his hand through the water to splash Ao’nung in his face. The look of Ao’nung’s annoyed face sends Neteyam into a fit of laughs. Light, airy laughs that lighten the mood enough for both to forget about their impending doom. Ao’nung simply rolls his eyes at Neteyam. With a huff, he wipes the water from his face, sending glares all the while. “Shouldn’t you like that? Aren’t you Metkayina?” Neteyam asks in between his laughs. “I’m going to throw a stick at you then ask why you didn’t enjoy it. You’re Omaticaya, aren’t you?” Ao’nung grumbles out.

So I know that Whoops was last updated April 28th of last year and that I said I would try to update before 3 weeks. I did not succeed. However, the last chapter is currently in the works and I fully expect to get it out within the next week or so. I guess for now, you can enjoy the little snippet I have above.

Have a nice day!

Hi my babes! I’d like to announce a new event at the end of June called The Colors of Pandora. A big thanks to @etherial-moon-blog @eywaite @sunfyresrider @tallulah477 for helping me with questions and thoughts about this whole thing.

Colors of Pandora participation rules.

1. Each day has a color corresponding to a particular emotion. Your work should reflect the emotion you feel most appropriate for that color.

-For example the first day of the event is the shade red which reminds me of anger. Therefore I would write a piece of work reflecting such.

2. Please keep all submissions safe for work, although NSFW material may be included if desired. Please use correct warning if work is not suitable for minors.

3. Use hashtag #colorsofpandora and tag @xylianasblog when you submit content related to this event.

4. Participation is optional; do not feel pressured. This is a fun event meant to inspire positivity in the community.

5. Be kind to all participants; the goal is to spread love and encourage more SFW content. We all need a little fluff or maybe even angst in our lives.

6. Please reblog to reach others who may be interested. Thank you for reading and participating 🩷

I know that I bullshit most of the things I write with the reasoning being 'cus I said' (which is totally valid by the way) but I actually do have a 'scientific' reason why Neteyam's so short in Ma' Yawntu. He was injured at 16 and around that time is when boys have their like final growth spurts but Neteyam was recovering and could barely walk and eat so he never really grew to his full potential

#this not only seems like a completely valid reason in my mind #but also provides me with many opportunities to make Neteyam salty that Lo'ak (and eventually Tuk) is taller than him #also Spider's taller #wow poor Neteyam #I know I wrote it but still

[annestie]

Lo'ak, pointing a Neteyam and Ao'nung: I saw gay so I said gay. That ain't bullying, that's an astute observation

#aonunete #neteyam x aonung #avatar the way of water #atwow #incorrect quotes #oh look I've returned #after like 2 weeks lol #lo'ak te suli tsyeyk'itan #I will never get tired of making lo'ak suffer because of aonunete #just seems like an older sibling thing to freak out your younger siblings

Ao'nung: You know how we talk with our hands? Neteyam: Yes? Ao'nung: If we touch hands does that mean we're technically kissing? Neteyam: Ao'nung: Wanna touch hands?

New Chapter of Ma' Yawntu Teaser

The funny thing about getting married is that Neteyam found that it didn’t change much. Their routines basically stayed the same. Their love as strong as ever. But waking that first morning after they’re wed, the air feels different. There’s a sort of bliss to everything. Like almost nothing could ruin the happiness that seems to have drenched Awa’atlu. That morning Neteyam and Ao’nung wake to themselves still cuddled with each other, a mess of tangled limbs. They don’t even start their day after that. For a while they simply lay with each other and just talk. “We still have to name her,” Ao’nung comments in a whisper, moving one of his hands to Neteyam’s bump. He’s lying on his side facing Neteyam. “How much longer do we have?” “Four months,” Neteyam answers, smiling at the other. Suddenly, Neteyam feels a small jab to his stomach. The feeling is strange. Neteyam had felt it a few other times though couldn’t figure out what it was. But when he looks to Ao’nung and sees his husbands face, Neteyam realizes. “Did she just kick?” Ao’nung asks, pure astonishment in his eyes.

This is from my current draft. Just to thank everyone for still waiting, I figured I would post a small snippet from Chapter 21.

If anyone noticed, I did have Chapter 21 posted but then after thinking and talking with a friend I realized I rushed it and I know I can do better. I took it down for now however the moment I finish rewriting and editing it, I will add it and probably make a Tumblr post about it

(Ma' Yawntu if you wish to read)

Ao'nung: I want to wake up with you every day for the rest of our lives Neteyam: I wake up before the eclipse ends every day to train Ao'nung: I want to see you at some point every day for the rest of our lives

Spread love to fanfic writers! Answer these questions about your fanfics then send this to 5 other fanfic writers Name a fic you loved writing the most. Name a fic that others loved but you didn’t care for as much. Name a fic you had the most fun writing. Name a fic that you are the most proud of. Name a fic that you wish had gotten more recognition. Name your happiest/saddest/most comedic fics! -SnomoScribbles (side blog)

This is so sweet of you to send to me. Thank you!

1. Name a fic you loved writing the most.

I think my most loved fic so far is Ma' Yawntu. Just because I've spent over 6 months (almost a year!?) writing it and I've definitely grown a bit attached.

2. Name a fic that others loved but you didn’t care for as much.

I love my all my fics but probably Whoops if I had to name one. I did not expect that fic to get over 1k hits and it currently stands at 5k. It was my first Avatar fic and I was still trying to nail down how to write each of the characters lol. It's certainly is an experience for me to look back at how I wrote it.

3. Name a fic you had the most fun writing.

I had the most fun writing 4 times Ao'nung kissed Neteyam and 1 time Neteyam kissed Ao'nung. I love fluff and I love reading it and I especially love thinking of those 4+1/5+1 things.

4. Name a fic that you are the most proud of.

I'm the most proud of Ma' Yawntu. I have a word document that I've used to write it and all the extras that currently has 83k words. I sometimes can't believe I actually wrote it in about a year.

5. Name a fic that you wish had gotten more recognition.

I wish my fic The Day of Loneliness got more recognition. It's about Tuk being upset because she was left alone on Pandora's version of Valentines while her friends and family are busy being in love. It's a gen fic so I knew it wouldn't get that much love but I still really like it.

6. Name your happiest/saddest/most comedic fics!

The Courting Gift is one of my saddest but specifically the one I posted to Ao3. The end scene I wrote just makes me sad

5 times Ron went without realizing that Draco and Harry were together and the 1 time he finally came to realize how close they actually were is one of my funniest. It's not in the Avatar fandom and I probably wouldn't characterize the characters the same now. But it holds a special place in my heart.

Breakfast is one of my happiest. It's pure fluff.

Ok I'm done. Have a nice day!

#I used to be obsessed with hp #i'm not joking I have almost 30 hp fics posted to ao3 #the quality of writing is less than stellar but still #also I'm only counting my ao3 stuff #not anything I haven't posted yet #or only posted to tumblr

Mercy

The elders in Ao’nung’s clan always said that losing one’s mate is as terrible as death. He used to believe them when he was younger and naiver. He thought it was that simple.

However, living through it now, Ao'nung knows it isn’t. It’s worse. For at least death would have a little mercy in it.

Ao'nung, holding a crying Oha and looking at Neteyam: Ao'nung: Do it. Neteyam: What? Ao'nung: Do the magic.

Magic

A year after the battle at Three Brothers Rock, Ao'nung is babysitting his baby sister

Ao’nung desperately knocks on the outside of the Sully’s marui. Is it the smartest idea he’s ever had? No. But his baby sister has been crying for the last half hour and he cannot find anyone else to help.

“Hello?” Neteyam comes to the door, glancing between Oha and Ao’nung.

“I can’t get her to stop crying, it’s been half an hour and I can’t find anyone else,” Ao’nung quickly explains.

“Did you feed her?” Neteyam immediately asks.

“Yes and she’s clean and not tired. I have tried everything I know.”

“Here, let me see her,” Neteyam says, holding his arms out to take Oha.

Ao’nung hands over Oha. Right as she’s settled into Neteyam’s arms, her cries stop. Oha calms so much, she even babbles to Neteyam.

“How did you do that?” Ao’nung asks, bewildered. He looks on as Oha, who was crying nonstop a few seconds ago, stays peacefully in Neteyam’s arms. “Magic…” Ao’nung whispers under his breath.

Lo'ak: That was one time and I was eight!

Kiri: Oh yeah? What about-

Neteyam being tired of his siblings still arguing even though they're nearly adults. From Chapter 1: An Unwell Feeling of my fic Ma' Yawntu
