Kote’s House

Kote’s first house is a pathetic thing, and he is incurably proud of it. The twi’lek he purchased it from very evidently could not make up his mind what to do with a man that grinned while he haggled, but it was the first time Kote had haggled over a purchase of his very own. He had thoroughly enjoyed it.

The house is built for one being, and a compact being at that, but Kote doesn’t have much. Moving in is quick, and most of his efforts during the next few days after go into attempting ambitious repairs for things he doesn’t know the first thing about. 

His plumbing is an issue, he knows. Something is getting blocked up. Somehow while trying to fix the kitchen tumbler, his fresher spout explodes.

He hadn’t kept his new house a secret from anyone by any means, but it is still surprising when Fox barges in through his jamming front door. He finds Kote on the floor in his cramped kitchen while the fresher rains water in the adjacent room, laughing so hard and so crippled with delight that he can’t get up.

He tries to explain how wonderful it is —

“I-I have to fix my plumbing on my own, vod—”

—but judging by Fox’s single raised eyebrow he knows it doesn’t translate.

Fox, it turns out, is moving into the neighborhood. Kote doesn’t ask about the house Fox already has — the house he has visited, which is very nice and fancy — or point out that Fox’s contract there cannot possibly be up, which begs the question of why he’s here in Kote’s neighborhood — except that Kote already knows the answer to that question. So he doesn’t ask.

Fox doesn’t show him any grace or forbearance, though.

“Don’t even know how to fix a damn pipe, front lining show-off—” His brother snarls, but it is muffled; his top half had to go down beneath the floor they’d pried up to get at the plumbing issue.

“So that’s what they had you doing all these years.” Kote says, because he really is in a criminally good mood. He barely ducks the foot-long pipe Fox throws at his head, feeling giddy.

He makes dinner that night in thanks. Fox stays, ostensibly because now that he’s fixed the fresher he intends to use it, because his new house isn’t hooked up properly yet to all the supply lines and power grids. 

They choke on homemade tiingilar (vode-style; Kote can’t pretend at the real thing yet) so heavily spiced it’s got grit to it that sticks between the teeth. It’s disgusting, but Cody had bought fifteen different spices and while usually he likes to keep his approach to the unknown more cautious, more methodical, he couldn’t think of anything he wanted to do more than use them all at once for the first time. 

Wolffe joins them not long after; brings a few others along by recommending the apartment he picks out, so that soon most of the complex is taken up by vode, Kote hears, but he doesn’t visit yet. Everyone’s too busy coming over to his house, it seems; filling up his kitchen and asking why he hasn’t fixed the trash disposal yet, why he doesn’t have a couch, doesn’t he know they’re all the rage among civilized folk?

Kote fixes the trash disposal with Rex, who is better at it than he is but says it’s only due to Skywalker’s influence on managing all things mechanical. 

“How is Skywalker?” Kote asks, and gets more than he bargained for over the next hour. At first he’s a bit off-put, because he’s trying to get dinner sorted again and he’s not been very fond of Skywalker at the best of times, but Rex is snorting out a story and laughing and it’s contagious, so Kote just resigns himself and settles in to enjoy.

Skywalker has little ones, now. Obi-Wan is the only one that can get them to sleep. Ahsoka is distressed; she knows better, but every instinct in her is apparently in agony over the little ones’ inability to eat meat yet. She obsesses over nutrients in their diet — which, given what tiny natborn humans primarily ingest in the early stages, makes for some slightly awkward conversations.

Rex helps with dinner afterward, and they take turns being incredulous over natborn baby facts, shoving around one another in the tiny, uncomfortable kitchen.

“What’s your next project?” Rex asks at one point, glancing sidelong with a cheeky look, and Kote levels his vegetable knife at him (he’s got a vegetable knife. Specifically for vegetables. It’s a very new concept). 

“I make everyone’s dinner on Tuangsdays.” He says. “I’m productive.”

Rex’s sharp-toothed grin turns thoughtful. “Yeah” He says. “Everyone loves coming here, you know. You could be the new 79’s.”

Kote knows. He plans and plots, and puts more work into researching recipes than he’s put into any research whatsoever in months. It feels a bit like coming out of a shore leave; his thoughts quicken and his excitement grows. He hunts down a market. He brings a bag. He shops, bargains, and returns victorious.

He sends out a few comms., and can’t help but shake his head and grin at how different the responses are. 

What a marvelous idea, Cody. His general — ex-general — says.

Yus pls, Ahsoka sends back, with some sort of strange tooka vidclip that dances with wiggly gyrations Kote can only assume indicate excitement.

Where is your house, Anakin says, blunt and to the point, and Kote can appreciate that. 

He sends the address. He cooks all day. The sun sets, and Fox and Wolffe arrive, already bickering, Rex trailing behind with a long-suffering look sent to Kote, begging commiseration.

“Ugh, don’t you ever stop smiling, now?” He gripes when Kote just grins at him. 

“Nope,” Kote says, unrepentantly.

He leaves the soup on the stove, simmering, and takes his cup of caf to the window. He leans on it, breathing in cool air, and just listens — listens to the squabbling as Wolffe gets on Fox’s case for not washing Kote’s dishes correctly the last time they visited. Hears the soft thumps of Rex sneaking into the cramped room Kote has set aside for plants and the sole pet he has; a pastel goullian, fins swaying ever so gently, permanent scowl in place. Thinks he catches, distantly, the sound of his remaining three guests (Padme couldn’t attend, and had made him feel very awkward by how thoughtfully she apologized for it) plodding up the hill. 

“Cody!” Ahsoka cries, coming into view and waving. 

Kote’s cheeks have stopped aching from all the smiling he’s gotten used to, so it’s easy to let another through.

Every time you cooked over a campfire, you would throw some food into the fire as an offering to the gods. One evening, just as you're about to perform your little campfire ritual, you hear a voice behind you say "You know, I would very much prefer my food un-burnt."

[Respite] - A little reminder that all my fellow Warriors of Light are doing great and you should be proud of yourselves. 

 My silly little ‘project’ that took way more effort than was necessary Thank you Peter for his cameo performance as Thancred!

Legend VS the world

[redchu12]

Thanks Sylv!

1.) I always watch the intro to a show, especially if it slaps

2.) Definitely a monster kid. My childhood best friend loved anything Godzilla related, so we would watch the movies all the time.

3.) Nuro-divergent depressed people. Next question. Kidding, I auctually collect shot glasses from every state I've been to. I'm at like 8, but i have to buy the glass when I'm in the state or it doesn't count, so I'm missing a few *glares at Texas for not having any at the two gas stations we visited on my last trip there*

4.) I will be majoring in youth ministry, but I might change it to ministry instead.

@peppersonironi @birdwafflecereal @starrystories2 @m3owww @js71-blog

most crucial personality indicators

1. when u binge-watch tv, do u skip the intro theme song or watch it?

2. did u prefer dinosaurs or monsters as a kid?

3. how many and what kind of collections do u keep?

4. ya’ll r gonna hate this but ur major actually says a lot about u as a person. whats ur major?

- "His mother's eyes" - Happy Birthday Claude 💛

this is probably self-indulgent but i have this headcanon that among the countless rumors circulating Tiana in Almyra is one regarding a certain hexing-look in her eyes, Khalid ofcourse inherited the rumors along with them.

-quick side note, (عيون أمه \ عيون ماما) "His/your mother's eyes" or "Mama's eyes" is an arabic phrase mothers use to lovingly refer to or answer their children's calls. meaning that they're as precious as her own eyes.

Reposting to see if it gets any more buzz

Some spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicals 2 btw.

Rex is offered a question by The Architect, one night when he is sleeping. It's not the true Architect but rather a fragment of his soul and power that remains to question Rex.

The Architect asks Rex that if he would be willing to save everyone who died. Even the Torna memeber who perished during Rex's journey. He asks that if Rex would be willing to be forgotten.

For everyone who died, Torna, Vandham, Haze, to come back? For them to be able to live again? Rex was willing. He would do whatever was needed for them to get another chance. Rex is also told by doing this choice Pneuma would get to travel the world with her sisters, Pyra and Mythra.

The Architect tells Rex that everyone who has ever known him would forget him if he does this. That all that Rex has fought for, love, friends, a home, would be gone. Rex would have to start over in a world where everything happened the same but with no deaths and no Rex.

The world is still saved and becomes one main land. Pyra would awake on her own and go to lead the party that would save the world.

Rex would still have his memories and remember how it would have happened but he would have to go on without his friends.

Rex accepts and the world changes.

Rex, instead of being a celebrated hero and renowned scavenger, is now just an unknown teenager who has to restart his whole life.

And so boy meets life alone.

So Rex restarts his life. He becomes a scavenger again and manages to go up the ranks once more. He goes from Bronze all the way up to Diamond in 6 months. He had nothing better to do so why not.

Rex also hunts down bounties in his spare time. He is willing to do anything as long as he doesn't have to go back to his empty house at The Leftherian Archipelago. He auctually gets some renown from being so affective as a bounty hunter. He has been called by different kingdoms to help with things they don't want their army to be involved in.

Rex barely caught a glimpse of Morag once while being contracted by the country of Mor Ardain. He left feeling sad and went to take out his frustration on some poor monsters. What Rex didn't know was that Morag saw him too and for some reason her heart hurt when she saw him.

What The Architect didn't tell Rex was that there was a chance that people could regain their memories if they spend enough time around him. The stronger the bond, the less time is needed around Rex to remember him.

Another thing Rex wasn't told about was that he would come back a little different. Instead of a crystal on his chest he instead has a green glowing tattoo that glows brighter if he gets near Pyra, Mythra, or Pneuma. The tattoo looks like the crystal that used to sit on his chest.

Instead of having a Blade, Rex uses a good quality Greatsword as his main weapon.

Since Rex is a scavenger he now has a boat to take him out to the sea to go diving. When he is on land he gets around on a white motorcycle that has dark blue that fades to turquoise dragon decals on the sides of it. This is in honor of Azurda. He also has a white helmet that has a dragon head in the same style and colors on it.

Rex is now a couple years older and has a different outfit. He now wears a white jacket with blue lines going down the arms and sides. Under the jacket he has a blue shirt on. For pants Rex wears a pair of black pants. He also wears a pair of combat boots too. His shirt is usually able to hide his tattoo but it can glow through it.

When he is salvaging or hunting bounties Rex wears an armored blue jacket and an armored black shirt. He wears his regular blank pants and boots but he puts some leg armor on his pants.

The three Aegis sisters cores are different than other Blades. In their cores an x shape is darkened. It only starts to glow and fill in when they encounter Rex.

Eventually when they meet Rex again for some reason the Aegis sisters all seem irritated at the greatsword that Rex has on his back. When they get their memories back they all take great pleasure in destroying it.

I imagine how the stories starts is that a Rex is it a market looking around he accidently bumps into Mythra. She scoffs at him and asks Rex to apologize. Rex looks down at the floor and says sorry while trying to leave. Mythra for some reason glares at the sword of his back and then asks if she's seen him before. Rex says no and goes to get on his motorcycle. Mythra stops him before he leaves and asks for his name. Rex tells her that he's nobody and then drives off.

Mythra huffs and turns to go back into the market when she notices that the very center of the gray x on her core has been filled up a little bit. She immediately goes home to tell her sisters that she thinks she found their driver, or at least someone who knows whats up with their cores.

Rex after driving away looks down at his chest to see his tattoo glowing brightly before fading back to a non glowing color that seemed a bit brighter than before.

When Rex's friends remember, not if, they will find him, and they will hug him.

I bet him always getting away would be funny to see too.

Played DnD for the first time with friends and my character is literally just Link and a Pomeranian XD

[redchu12]

You remember that post I made a while back about Adventure of Link taking place in 2010?

Anyway, after a modern Link wakes up the rather ancient Zelda 1, he takes her on a road trip across the dangerous country of Hyrule. Most of the big cities have been taken over by monsters and abandoned by hylians, giving off a post apocalyptic feel as the two teenagers drive, hike, and fight their way back to the castle on the other side of the country, where Zelda will be safe at last.

A time displaced princess and a cynical high school dropout with a beat up car and a bounty on his head. What could go wrong?
