Midnight Rituals - 2. Do it right or don't do it at all

Atticus:

I was looking through the car window. The sun was almost sunset, fortunately. I hadn't drunk enough blood today to be able to walk under the sun for a long time.

"Rosemary is always getting us into trouble, I need to upload a new photo or my followers will be disappointed," Lucas complained while driving.

"I'm sure they can wait until we finish it. This could happen to anybody, it's bad luck," I sighed.

My heart wouldn't stop beating. I wanted to see her, but at the same time, I didn't want. Too many unprocessed feelings between us.

"By the way, can you repeat for which you have broken up?" he said looking at me, taking his eyes off the road which made the car do an S and we almost got off the road.

"Do you want to kill us?" I said the sentence so worried that we both laughed; as if a minor road accident could kill a lord vampire and a shapeshifter. "Okay, you park on this side of the road, we'll walk the rest. They are a few kilometers inside the forest."

I outed the car rapidly when he parked. I wasn't in the mood to speak about my breakup with Rose and Lucas had been trying for a few days to get me to open up. He's my best friend but this's something that I want to share with others.

"Dude, you don't answer me about Rose," he said while he closed the car.

"It's not your business..." a scream interrupted me.

The birds began to fly frenetically in the opposite direction of the scream. Lucas and I looked at each other with decidedly. He turned into a shape half human half bear and we started to run at full speed.

Fenix:

I was very dizzy. It was like getting out of bed fast and then you feel like your room would be a Mario Kart racing. It wasn't yet night although the sun had almost set, my trick had worked enough.

Strong winds that lashed around caught my attention. The witches were making the stupid ritual and the magic forces were collapsing. The girls and Kevin were in the second circle in black tunics while Rosemary was in the center in a white tunic with golden embroideries. All of them sang together a strange canticle. The aesthetics of a satanic cult from a bad terror movie were achieved, point for them.

I tried to get up and a snake head started to hiss. Well, a cord with a very bad spell of illusion started to hiss. Most people would think this an animatronic or a toy before a real snake; amateurs.

Suddenly, they began to scream in unison. They were four people but they were so synchronized that seemed like one. The birds flew away. I began to push with my body trying to untie me. It wasn't complicated, who tied me needed to learn about knots.

They were in silence after that strange scream. I approach Kevin. "oh, shit" I yelled. They had their eyes rolled and cried blood, very disgusting. The rest of them were the same. The magic was getting more chaotic by the second.

I should balance this shit, shouldn't I? I thought.

I checked the makeup case searching for something useful. Lapislazuli not, Himalayan salt not, little iron bars, maybe. I took the iron bars and a compass. The corner was orienting to the magnetic north as I had supposed, a rookie mistake on their part.

I began to stick the bars into the ground, the magic surrounding me was overwhelming. I was having a horrible headache. But I could put the bars without problems until I need to stick the last bar in the center, near Rose.

I approach the center slowly, the magic was stronger and I felt worse with every step. I fell to the ground and was dragging myself to get to my objective. I used my last strength to stick the bar in front of Rose's knee. The wing stopped and I felt calm for a sec until I saw a black shadow coming out of one crack in the sky.

We are screwed was the last thing I could think before I passed out.

Lucas:

I had left Atticus behind, although both of us are faster than normal people, he don't even come close to me. I followed the smell, it was complicated to distinguish the people's smell because of the sulfur odor which spread throughout the forest.

Finally, I smelled Rosemary perfume, the magic rose scent is very unique; the twins who always accompany her; someone I don't know; and a familiar smell but I couldn't realize who.

I arrived in the small glade. The twins were helping to get up at each other, while Rose tried to flip a guy who was in the ground. The guy didn't smell like a witch but maybe he was using a spell.

"What the hell happened here?" I asked.

A black guy who was trying to get up started to yell when he noticed me, my bestial form usually has this effect, even in witches.

"Shut up, Kevin!" Rosemary yelled with an angry look. "It's a friend of mine."

"Well more like a friend of a friend," I said turning into my normal form.

I had broken my sneakers again. I never remember taking off my shoes when I change. My father was going to kill me. I took off my shoes and threw them away because they were a rag after my run through the woods.

"Where is Atticus?" Rose asked me when I approached her.

"He was following my tail, but I'm faster," I helped her to move the guy, then I realize why there was a familiar smell. "Shit, why is Fenix here?"

"He followed us, for this reason, we called Atticus. Then the summoning got out of hand, and..." She stayed staring at a bar stuck in the ground. "Who made this?" Everyone shook their heads. "It's impossible that it made him," she whispered.

I give a soft slap to Fenix, but he was totally unconscious. Then Atticus arrived with his red iris and black veins. This guy, Kevin, almost started to yell again, but Rosemary made an angry face which was more terrifying than a vampire or any other creature.

Atticus approach us, "Thanks for coming," Rose said in a sweet tone, I felt a chill down my spine.

"Always," Atticus answered with a smile.

I cleared my throat because this began to fill annoyance and we had an unconscious human in our hands.

"We need to do something with him," I said.

She moved her hands trying to make a spell "I have used too much power, I'm dry for two hours at least,"

Atti approached his ear at Fenix's chest "His heart sounds well. Although I could try to erase his memories when he wakes up, a witch has to check him. We should go to the foundation," he said.

Rosemary only nodded and I took Fenix in my back. He was still a featherweight.

Rosemary:

I changed my clothes rapidly and gave orders to pick up and go home. Atticus, Lucas, and I started to walk toward Luca's car. I would go pick mine up in another moment.

This has been a total disaster, Mother will be so disappointed, I thought.

Atticus round me with an arm and smile at me. "Don't worry, everything will be alright."

I felt more myself when we are together. I missed him more than I could admit.

"You're a bad liar for someone who can manipulate people's minds," I joked.

"Not really, I think that Fenix is well. We only need to erase his memories.."

"And find out what happened," I interrupted him

"What do you mean?"

"I think he broke the spell," Atticus looked at me confused. "The spell was wrong. I don't know what happened, but the energies were so chaotic that we all went into a trance. These iron bars weren't our thing."

"I don't understand, he's human, isn't he? He cannot make magic."

"He didn't make magic, but he balanced the forces in a way that I don't quite understand. However, I'll get my answers before the end of the day or my name isn't Rosemary Booth."

Do you have a specialty dish that you're really good at making? I have lots, actually! I’m a really good cook.

What video games did you play when you were growing up? Video games weren't a huge part of my childhood but I did play a lot of Sims when we had a computer that would run it and I remember playing Mario Kart and Crazy Taxi with my cousins.

Are you good at making big decisions alone or do you tend to seek approval from others? My husband and I make big decisions together. If it’s something I’m unsure about, I’ll consult different opinions online but it’s very, very rare that I’ll talk to a real life person about it. I just think its better to make your decisions privately rather than getting everyone you know’s input.

Does your town or city have good public transport, or is it easier to drive? You have to have a car here. There’s a very limited bus route and no taxi service.

What was the last cocktail you drank? Oh god, I don’t know. I don’t drink very often.

Are you good at keeping running counts and tallies in your head? Um...depends on the thing I guess?

Does your country have its own edition of Big Brother? I assume so? I’ve never watched it tho.

How often do you take a nap during the day? I’ve been napping a lot more frequently lately (which isn’t saying much as it used to be never) but it’s still pretty sparse. I would say once every couple weeks?

What social media platforms do you use? Instagram and TikTok are my two main ones and then I check Facebook every so often but I have notifications turned off and I don’t post anything. I only ever use Tumblr for porn and surveys.

Are there any foods you hate the smell of but like the taste, or vice versa? Those two things go pretty hand in hand. If I don’t like the smell of something, the taste is gonna make me wanna puke.

Do you have a dishwasher? Ugh no, I wish.

Who do you live with? My husband and our pup!

Are you listening to anything right now? My husband is playing Pokemon so I can hear that!

What is one of your favourite sitcoms? I never know what does and doesn’t count as a sitcom??

Do you make to-do lists? Oh yeah. I’m a huge list maker...a list doer tho? Not so much.

If you could magically become fluent in any language, what would it be? Spanish would be the most helpful I think.

Have you ever tried vegan ice cream? Yeah and not a fan. Everyone talks about how amazing it is and how you can’t tell the difference but I just find it to be so grainy with a weird aftertaste.

What pet names do you use for your friends/loved ones? I call my husband honey or beebs most often. I don’t think I have any nicknames for my other friends besides like ‘my love’ or an abbreviation of their name.

What pet names do you like to be called? As long as it’s not ‘baby’, I don’t care. Baby is so cringe.

What was the best concert you've ever seen? Greta Van Fleet was pretty awesome but Paramore was my favorite.

Do you have any hobbies? Oh yeah, tons. I love sewing, embroidery, photography, typing, baking, coloring, making collages, doing puzzles...just anything where I can be creative!

What is your favourite pasta shape? Radiatore (sp?)

Have you ever developed your own film? I mean I'm old enough that when I was a kid, our cameras still had film that had to be developed. But I've never physically done it with my own hands.

When was the last time you stayed in a hotel/motel and where was that? We saw Greta Van Fleet in the next town over back in the fall!

What breed was the last dog you saw? A yorkie!

Do you watch the Super Bowl? Nah.

What's your favourite Disney movie? Encanto was my favorite from this year!

What's the most stressful job you've ever had? I worked at a now defunct department store for like 6 months and my boss was a literal nightmare.

What was the last text message you received? A ‘YESSSS.’ from my sister in law.

Should you be asleep right now? If so, go to bed! Nope! It’s 1:43pm.

Studio Project 1

For this first studio project, I decided to make my flag using influences from Mario (including the regular super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, and Mario Galaxy) and space themes.

To accomplish this, I incorporated elements that I thought were interesting from the games as well as my usual space intrigue. The elements are as follows:

This is a Luma, they appear in Super Mario Galaxy and they appear as puffy stars in a multitude of colors. These characters talk to Mario and help him through the game by giving him advice and tips on where to go, how to conquer the quest, and even provide words of encouragement. Besides the fact that they are friendly creatures, what intrigued me the most is the shape of the Lumas. I like that they have a tear drop shaped body with small and cute appendages. To create my own versions of the lumas, I used puffy paint to create the design on dyed unbleached muslin, after this dried, I realized that the initial batch of Lumas I created were too small for the flag, especially since it would be hung from the ceiling, so I made them larger. After the bigger ones dried, I added the eyes.

I also used puffy paint to create the designs on the mountain/ trees/ bushes that appear in the background of Super Mario Bros Wii. These, in the game, are usually pastel colors and fade into the background and give the player a sense of an existence beyond what they just see in the foreground. It helps develop the effect that we are playing the game on different worlds.

These are the tree/bush/mountains that I was inspired by. For mine, I used the silk cotton blend fabric because it has a beautiful sheen that I felt would add to the effect. I used the direct application method to achieve bold and bright colors on the fabric. Then, I used bright puffy paint colors that were complimentary or created enough of a contrast to the direct application colors, so that the patterns would stick out. To attach these to the flag, I used the couching embroidery method. I used a multicolored yarn that added to the colorful nature of the bushes. I aligned these in a staggered manner, much like the way they appear in the video game itself. This alignment created a clumped look.

Then, I balanced out the clump with a tree. This tree is significant to Mario Kart, specifically the Luigi's mansion course. They are called "walking trees" and they walk side to side across the path that a player is racing, acting as an obstruction. The player needs to try to dodge the tree, otherwise they will run into the tree, resulting in an opportunity for another player to pass them up.

This is the walking tree. Initially, I wanted to embroider my own version of this. However, it was definitely not a realistic goal considering the timeline I gave myself to work on the execution of the project. Instead, I used a brown fabric with a silky sheen to it and cut out the tree shape. However, and I did not realize this until the day of the critique, I forgot to cut out the "legs" on the tree. So, on the flag, the tree is flat at the bottom, but this was actually an oversight. To add to the texture of the tree, I used pony beads in two shades of brown as well as brown tulle. It does look a bit odd, but I do like how it turned out, because the embroidery would have given a more serious look, but the pony beads and tulle added to the lightheartedness of the whole flag.

Finally, to further develop the space theme, I made a spaceship with an alien occupying the ship. The alien was created using a stamp and direct application neon green color that I mixed on canvas. Then, I beaded the eyes and the mouth of the alien with black seed beads (this took a while, but the result was worth it for sure) to emphasize the features. For the body of the space ship, I used direct application with a teal color on unbleached muslin. Then, I beaded a central design with a multitude of seed bead colors. On either side of the beading, I used sequins to add a shine to the spaceship. Using many sequin colors, I stitched concentric circles. And, finally, I added larger beads to the spaceship so that it actually appeared shiny and fun. For the bubble, I used a silk (I usually never use silk since it is not the most stable fabric due to its thin nature) to make the spaceship have a complete and finished look, but also so that you can see the alien occupying the ship. On the perimeter of the bubble, I used silver sequins to finish the edging, so that it would look more cohesive, rather than having a stark contrast of black muslin and silk.

The back was created by dyeing unbleached muslin with a green immersion dye. The intent was that I would attach everything to the front of the black fabric and then cover up all the stitches from the sequins, beads, couching, etc. However, I was not able to come up with an idea for the back that I actually liked so I decided to leave it with the plain neon green. I am actually satisfied as that being the back.

In progress picture that documents my direct application, stamping, and puffy paint techniques I used for the project.

I played around with the flag's configuration for a LONG time and I was struggling, but this was one of the top contenders for flag shape. I was struggling to figure out how I would be able to attach this very odd shape to the dowel. I did like the set up of the tree/mountain/bushes and the spaceship, but this lacked the proper space for the additional elements that needed to be incorporated.

So... I made a TikTok account! Honestly, this is really strange for me. I'm one of those classic chronically online lurkers. Always watching, never posting. Stepping into content creation, no matter how casually, is a big step for me. Still, I'm excited to start putting content out there, and I hope you check me out! Here's my pitch: gaming clips and crochet tips. I'm no Twitch streamer, but I DO have far too many hours in Overwatch, Animal Crossing, and Mario Kart. Also, I love making gaming crafts. I'm mostly into crochet right now, but I also dabble in embroidery, polymer clay, Cricut, you name it. Currently, I'm working on making a whole bunch of crochet octopi and squids to give away at an upcoming convention but hey, maybe I'll do a little giveaway on my channel! All the patterns I use are free, and they'll always be linked both on my blog here and in the comments of my TikToks. In the future, I'd also like to make some content about fandom history, video games or otherwise. I'm posting this on tumblr, so I know there's quite a lot of people who are just as in love with the nerdier side of history as I am. Really, I'm just hoping to connect with some people who are passionate about making stuff and playing in our little pixel fantasy worlds. I hope you check me out at @froggingpixels! You can also find me at Instagram under the same handle. :)

CAMILO MADRIGAL HEADCANONS AGAIN

ik i posted one of these like 10 minutes ago but oh boy do i have so many headcanons for him

mirabel taught him how to paint his nails and now it's something they've become really passionate about

sleeps with like, 7 pillows

makes tiny coat hangers out of paperclips whenever they can find em

kicks ass at just dance and mario kart

can do 17x35 in his head but has to use their fingers to figure out 5+2

he smells really good?? he smells really warm, like melted clover honey and lemon tea

they don't cry easily; if they do, it's usually over something really good

they have a bunch of spotify playlists, and most of them have really questionable names

really into sewing and embroidery and stuff like that

dolores teases him about it, but they know she means well

his favorite flowers are orchids

he can fall asleep literally anywhere, at any time

pepa once found him sleeping on top of the kitchen counter and her jaw just.. dropped

they have a personal vendetta against crabs after one pinched his ear at the beach and wouldn't let go for like, 5 minutes

they always wait until their phone battery hits 1% to plug it in; from then on, it's like a race to see if he can plug his phone in before it dies

mirabel has witnessed him running across the casita in order to plug it in, and then hearing a dismayed groan, realizing that camilo did not make it in time

whenever they get sick, his shapeshifting gets kinda out of whack and it's really funny

latibule | c. chanhee

★ latibule (n) a hiding place, a place of safety and comfort ★

“Drive safe,” you whispered with a soft smile, hand on the edge of the car door as you were about to close it. Chanhee slightly leant forward to see you from his seat, kissing your extended hand one last time before turning the engine back on. You closed the car door and your boyfriend drove off, waving at him until the black paint of his Audi blended in with the other few cars, happily sighing before walking to your front door.

Your cat meowed loudly and approached you while you took your shoes off, the kitty rubbing its head against your calf. It was a sign that she was hungry and needy of cuddles, which you were ready to give.

“Luna ! Let me just change into something else and I’ll be back,” you said as you petted its head, earning a happy meow.

Walking upstairs with your cat on your heels, you were about to take off your t-shirt, but something made you stop almost immediately. The familiar scent lingering on the fabric had you smiling, remembering the great moments you had just spent with Chanhee. Warmth spread to your cheeks when you remembered sitting between his legs, back resting comfortably against his chest as you played Mario Kart together. There was a lot of raging and playful nudging, but you adored playing video games with him. Just spending some time with your boyfriend had you resting and relaxing, something that you tended to struggle to do when you were on your own.

Being playful and showered with kisses by your loved one always helps you feeling better. Meeting each other was like attending therapy together, but without the therapist. You enjoyed hanging out with him so much that you both tended to forget the time and turn off the console at dawn. Chanhee drove you home, though much to his dismay, but you couldn’t let your cat starve until you come back the next morning. You clutched the fabric of your shirt against your nose, inhaling the reassuring smell of your boyfriend’s laundry and body scent. You closed your eyes as you sat down on your bed, imagining being back into your lover’s arms. It felt so relieving, you wished that you felt this reassured and comfortable in your own home.

Another headbutt against your calf got you out of your reverie, your cat impatiently staring at you. You giggled and quickly wore some sweatpants before walking downstairs again, the talkative animal eagerly following you. You quickly fed your pet and poured fresh water back into her bowl before heading to bed, falling asleep with a smile on your face.

- ★ -

You got woken up by the sound of someone ringing your bell, inhaling deeply as you stretched your arms above your head. Luna appeared on the side and strolled towards you, purring as she sat next to your head for a quick moment. You caressed her fur before getting out bed, putting on your cardigan while pacing downstairs as you wondered who it was. Before answering the door, you quickly glanced in the mirror, taming some crazy baby hair and opened the door.

Chanhee was standing here, eyes cluttered with sleep just like yours. You weakly smiled at him and stood to the side, welcoming him inside the familiar warmth of your apartment. You shyly chuckled when he handed you a bouquet of red tulips, his other hand busy carrying some treats from the bakery around the corner. You thanked him with a kiss on the cheek as he took off his shoes, a smirk forming on his face as he noticed the familiar embroidery on your t-shirt.

“You didn’t even bother to change from last night? How cute,” he stated. He must have woken up like ten minutes ago, because his voice was way deeper than usual, something that you found very pleasant. You smiled as you walked to the kitchen, Luna majestically walking down the stairs, earning head scratches from your boyfriend. “It’s just-” you started as you filled a vase with water, suddenly realising how embarrassing the side of your story is, “it smelt just like you, so I didn’t want to lose the scent by changing into my pyjamas,” you confessed and Chanhee rested against the counter, arms crossed as he smiled. “You are an absolute angel, do you know that?” he said while looking at you and you laugh nervously, opening some cupboard to prepare breakfast. “So that makes us two angels, am I right?” you answered with a genuine smile, earning a small nod from your boyfriend.

“Come on, love. Have a seat, I’m in charge of breakfast this morning,” he said as he was about to take the pan from you, but you withdrew your hand away from his grip. “You’re my guest, so no,” you said back, walking to the fridge to get some ingredients. “Nope, nope. You prepared dinner last night and I am the one that showed up at your doorstep, so let me do it. Plus I bought some chocolate croissants and some small pastries sprinkled with pearl sugar,” Chanhee wouldn’t take no as an answer no matter how hard you try to convince him, so you gave up, letting him lift you up and sit you on the counter. “Then it’s perfect, we don’t need to do anything,” you said as you stared into his eyes with a satisfied smile, suddenly giggling as you realised what your boyfriend just told you. “Hey, don’t laugh, I don’t know how they are called. It sounded French but the baker couldn’t pronounce it either,” he giggled, walking to you as you wrapped your legs around his middle, his hands gently resting on your laps. “Let me at least make a cup of tea to my beautiful partner.”

You spend the following hour chatting and spending some quality time together, eating and playing around with your cat. Luna whined when you stopped paying attention to her, suddenly getting the spontaneous idea of going to the park next to your house, where you would take amazing pictures and laugh together.

Being the hopeless romantic that he was, Chanhee stopped by the flower shop in your neighbourhood and bought you another bouquet of flowers, this time they were pink peonies. Your boyfriend knew you too well, always spoiling you and loving you to death. You realised that you had found your soulmate, and you couldn’t be happier to spend those moments with him by your side.

❄️ Winter Studying Challenge ❄️

I’ve been a bit crap at keeping up with this challenge so here’s me trying to catch up. It’s just been a lot of writing, reading although not as much as I should have been doing. Haven’t done any revision in a good while, but hoping to get back to it. I’ve been working on my bullet journal so it’s all set up. I’ve put all my trackers and other stuff and now I’ve just got my January’s set up to do. I drew Tribore for one of the trackers and it went decently. Has anyone else watched Final Space? And of course I have to add Lorelai in the mix. I’ve also been working on a cross stitch gift I was making for my friend for Christmas that was a bit of a pain to do, but turned out nice. My Dad’s birthday was on the 17th so we got take out (pizza and wings and a few other stuff). It was fun celebrating. Currently just trying to organise myself for the new year as well as for when I start working on the 4th. It’s a bit crazy that Christmas is basically tomorrow. Excited for it. Happy Holidays to everyone. I hope things have been going well. Sending loveee. 💕❄️

13th December - Does your family have any odd traditions during the holidays?

Nothing odd really. We’re Portuguese so we start celebrating Christmas on the 24th, waiting till midnight to open presents. Wouldn’t say it’s odd just different to the waiting for morning to open gifts on the 25th.

14th December - When do you buy your Christmas presents?

I try to do gift buying early. I plan late November and then get gifts around the 2nd or 3rd week of December depending on how long things take to deliver if I’m doing online gifts.

15th December - Share a memorable gift-opening moment from your childhood.

I remember being around the tree and really wanting to open my presents and being super surprised to get a DS with nice cases and Mario Kart and Brain Training. Because of course Mum would want to use video games as a way to teach me something 😂😅 Also remember giving one of the cases to my cousin because she liked it and didn’t have one for her DS

16th December - What is the best gift you ever gave someone?

Hmm.. I’m not sure. Not to toot my own horn but I’m a decent gift giver when. I love putting the effort and getting a good gift for people. I’ve done a few embroidery/cross stitch stuff for friends and family. My favourite to make was a small embroidery hoop one I made for a close friend of mine. It was kinda Christmasy with the letter of her name in the middle.

17th December - What is your favourite Christmas movie?

Honestly don’t think I have one favourite. Last year I watched I’ll be home for Christmas with my dad and loved it. It was funny and dumb which I loved. I’m currently watching LoveHard on Netflix and I’m enjoy that a lot.

18th December - What is your favourite Christmas song/carol?

All of the classics! Don’t think there’s a favourite. They just all bring joy and the Christmas vibe. Although last year ‘I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus’ was stuck in my head because of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.

19th December - What is a Christmas song that makes you cringe?

Hmm… I’m not sure I have one. The ones I’ve listened to has been pretty good.

20th December - What is your favourite and least favourite holiday/winter food?

Favourite is all the foods we eat for dinner. I especially love when we have tempura pawns as little snacks, and caldo verde (a Portuguese soup). Brussel sprouts are the worst, which is a bit cliche but it’s just facts.

21st December - What was the most memorable holiday celebration you had at school?

Oh I loved all the Christmas dinners back at secondary school. The food, dumb jokes in the crackers and the weird toys. The crowns that we would wear all through our lessons. The whole vibe of this time of year during school was the best thing. Especially watching movies and getting a bunch of sweets each lesson. Ugh, miss it.

22nd December - Finish this thought, “It wouldn’t be Christmas without _____.”

My family! The incredible food. A real Christmas tree! I’m sorry but fake trees suck. If I’m not stepping inside the house to the sweet frost smell of pine then what even is Christmas. Haha, but really none of it would matter without my incredible family and friends. Love them all. And I’m super grateful for it all!

23rd December - If you could design your own ugly Christmas sweater, what would it look like?

I don’t know about ugly but it would be cool to have a sweater with the Björk snowman that Rory and Lorelai made back in season 2. There might already be some available, but yeah, that would be cool.

#winter studying challenge #writing #reading #books #winter vibes #london #cross stitching #gilmore girls #i smell snow #lorelai gilmore #final space #tribore menendez #cinnamon rolls #i want to make more of those

Chapter 7

It wasn't long before the smell of the yakisoba noodles Bakugou and Todoroki were making got to the noses of the self proclaimed bakusquad who were all lounging around in the common room ‘studying’. Or more like the yakisoba noodles /Bakugou/ was making since all Todoroki did was wash the vegetables after he nearly cut his fingers trying to chop a carrot. It wasn't Shoto's fault he got distracted by the sight of Bakugou putting on an apron. A pink one at that. The blonde just looked so... domestic and 'home-ish' that Shoto could have severed his entire hand in favor of appreciating the very rare view and not even notice. But Bakugou sure did and after yelling at the guy to watch what he's fucking doing, Todoroki got bannished to just sit down while Katsuki chopped the vegetables himself. Not that Shoto minded. He didn't mind just observing.

Mina was the first to pop her head in through the cracked open kitchen door, followed by Kaminari, Sero, and Kirishima all one on top of the other. They walked in once they saw it was them. "Kacchaaaaaan~ whatcha cookin'?" Kaminari grinned cutely and looked over the blonde's shoulder as Katsuki cooked some pieces of sliced pork in a pan. "Yakisoba noodles" he answered plainly, more focused on what he was doing. Katsuki took his cooking seriously. He was good at pretty much everything he set his mind to and he'd be damned if his food wasn't going to be the best either.

"Mmmm, it smells so good! We should've known right away it was you the one that was cooking, Bakubabe" Mina rushed over to wrap her arms around his waist from behind and rest her cheek on his shoulder affectionately. The quirk that turned their friend into a girl also affected his height so now he was the same height as she was. Plus Mina couldn't seem to stop obsessing over how small his waist was! Katsuki growled back at her for the nickname but didn't bother trying to get her off since he was busy with his food so Mina happily kept her arms around the boy-turned-girl. Kirishima and Kaminari pouted that they didn't think of it first.

"Can we have some too? Pleeeeease?" Kaminari pouted, putting his hands together in a pleading motion. He was trying to look cute but Katsuki just thought he looked dumb, especially with that pencil sticking out of his hair. Bakugou won’t bother asking.

"No."

"Aww, why not? Come on! Just a little. Your cooking is the best, Bakugou. Feed us~" the boy whined and even tried to sweet talk him with a compliment but Katsuki didn't budge even to the puppy eyes the electricity user was giving him. Sero was very impressed. That look always worked on the rest of them. Bakugou sure did have a will of steel.

"You're not getting shit if you don't help, dunce face" Bakugou answered as if it were obvious. Kaminari pouted again and looked over at Todoroki who had pulled out his phone shortly after the others had walked in. "Is Todoroki getting noodles?" he began tugging slightly on Bakugou's apron. It was the one that the squad had gotten him for christmas as a joke that said 'Kiss the Fucking Cook' in white cursive embroidery. Katsuki almost killed them for that but he still wore it. They all had a suspicion that he secretly liked it but just didn't want to admit it.

"Yes" he answered and Kaminari stuttered. "But he's not doing anything!" Kaminari whined. Todoroki looked up at that. "I washed the vegetables" Shoto felt his input provided enough validation to go back to his phone and scroll mindlessly.

"Well, what can we do to help, Bakugou?" Kirishima grinned, coming up next to him with a big grin. The angry teen looked over to see Kaminari, Mina, and Sero also waiting patiently for their instructions. "Just boil the noodles" he settled with after a few seconds then went back to his cooking and the others answered 'you got it' in unison then rushed to do as told. Cooking some noodles in a pot of hot water shouldn't be too hard, right?

Wrong. They overcooked the damn noodles and Bakugou yelled at all five to get out (Todoroki included) and they all left with their tails between their legs. Bakugou did everything himself like an angry housewife, muttering under his breath while he multitasked the entire time. Forty minutes later Bakugou finished and he was walking out with a plate of steaming hot yakisoba noodles for himself and sitting down at the table where the rest were. It smelled so delicious and they watched him eat with pouts and longing looks that Katsuki rolled his eyes. "Grab a plate and serve your-damn-selves. The food's right there, I ain't your mother" Bakugou grumbled and all five immediately ran to the kitchen to get their fill of Bakugou's cooking before the blonde had a chance to change his mind. Believe it or not, it's happened before.

...

After dinner, Bakugou was dragged out his dorm by his friends to go to Sero's room and play video games because according to them, they "haven't hung out in so long" even though it's only been since the quirk thing happened.

"I call dibs on the hammock!" Kaminari announced as soon as Sero opened the door to his dorm and launched himself to lay down on it before Ashido could get her hands on the hammock first.

"No fair! You got it last time!" Mina pouted, stomping over to sit on the floor by Kaminari with a frown and her arms crossed.

"Rules of the game, my friend. You should've called dibs first" the male smirked and winked at her with a very smug expression because he knew she couldn't really argue back against that. Mina responded by giving him a quick shove, causing the other to roll off the hammock and land face down on the carpet with a thud. Mina started cracking up and Kaminari rubbed his forehead with a pout, giving her the stink eye.

The other three paid no attention to their friends' antics as they took a seat. Every time they went to Sero's room it was the exact same thing with those two. They always fought for the hammock and Sero couldn't understand why they didn't just share it. The day he proposed the idea, Kaminari and Mina had only looked at the ravenette like he had grown two heads.

"Come sit by me, bakubro" Kirishima grinned, lighting up the room with that sharp toothed smile of his, and patted the spot besides him on the bed. Katsuki 'tsked' but went forward anyways and sat down besides the red head. Sero was setting up the playstation in the meantime.

"Don't tell me what to do, hair for brains'' Bakugou huffed but there was no real venom behind his words. Kirishima just laughed and that only seemed to annoy the ash blonde even more though. After Bakugou had finished eating earlier, he had gone back to his room to change into what he usually wore to go to sleep. The plan /was/ to do some light studying then head to bed a bit earlier than he usually did so he was only wearing boxers (or more like the boyshorts Momo had made for him since his own boxers had that bit of extra fabric in the front where his junk was supposed to be) and one of his own soft, grey, all cotton t-shirts. He had flung his bra off the second school was over because screw that. Now he knew why girls always complained about those shits. He kept getting stabbed by the underwire the whole day.

As he sat down beside Eijiro and brought his feet up to sit crossed legged like he always did, Kirishima's eyes wandered down without his permission towards Bakugou's thighs. They were thick and muscular but also soft looking. Smooth and a milky white too. No blemishes or anything so completely unmarked like a blank canvas. Kirishima bets that Bakugou could easily crush a watermelon with those thighs if he wanted to. He wondered what it'll feel like to have his head between th- NO! Kirishima snapped out of it right on time and shook his head side to side fast to get rid of those unmanly thoughts. He was entering dangerous territory there because he can't be thinking of his bro like that! 'Bad Kirishima!' he mentally scolded himself. Bakugou, on the other hand, was completely oblivious to the gay panic his best friend was going through as he grabbed a hold of Sero’s pillow to hold (definetely not hug, nope, he will deny it completely) against his chest.

"I call first round with Mina. You're going down, Ashido'' Kaminari smirked as Sero tossed him the controller. "Bring it, boy!" she smirked, grabbing her own control, and then they were racing each other in mario kart with determined faces, each wanting the other to lose and wallow in defeat first; Mina for Kaminari calling dibs on the hammock first, and Kaminari for Ashido pushing him off.

...

After a few rounds, the gang had decided to switch to another game. This one was a three-player one so Sero had connected a third controller and Kirishima, Mina, and Kaminari were playing. Katsuki liked to play video games but not as much as those three and Sero liked it when his friends all had fun so he didn't mind just kicking back and letting them enjoy themselves on his playstation.

The room was filled with yelling and playful banter as Katsuki laid in Sero's bed quietly, just watching his friends. Kirishima had stood up and sat by Ashido on the floor a while ago (which he didn't know why and Kirishima had only stuttered when he asked) so Katsuki had it all to himself. He was feeling a bit sleepy already and he yawned, trying not to fall asleep since he really didn't want to do that in a room that wasn't his. To distract himself, half-lidded eyes went to Sero who was sitting on the floor besides the bed watching his friends in amusement. His eyes lowered until they got to the boy's enlarged elbows where his tape came out of and his eyebrows furrowed. He'd always wondered how they worked. Were they kind of like a tape dispenser? Like was there a huge roll of tape in there? Maybe it was his half conscious mind, but Bakugou ended up sitting up and getting off the bed to plop down right next to Sero.

The black haired boy turned with a bit of surprise to see Bakugou so close but quickly recovered and smiled. "Oh, hey man. Are you having fun?" he asked but Katsuki didn't even answer. He just hummed then crawled over between Sero's legs and sat down slightly sideways, grabbing one of the other boy's arms to bring his elbow closer to his face and study it in curiosity. Sero's face was on fire as he looked anywhere but at the boy/girl sitting practically on his lap holding onto him. Katsuki was so close that Sero was even able to smell the coconut tropical shampoo the blonde used to wash his hair. 'Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck' Sero thought to himself, trying to distract himself. It was no use though. Up until now, Sero thought that he was fine. Sure, he thought Katsuki was very pretty as a girl, but he wasn’t really affected or anything like that like how Midoriya, Todoroki, and Kirishima were. Those three tried to hide it but it was so obvious to everyone that they’ve had the hots for Bakugou even before the quirk accident happened. Or at least obvious to everyone except Bakugou himself.

Sero prided himself in being one of the few that wasn’t constantly staring at their angry blonde classmate, but /now/, no matter how much Sero tried to ignore the fact that a pretty, nice smelling blonde girl was technically sitting on his lap, he couldn't. And even as game night slowly came to an end after Bakugou left, then Kirishima, Mina, then lastly Denki, and Sero was left alone in his dorm to sleep, he still couldn’t stop thinking about his friend either. Well shit.

As they’ve started to become relevant in a few verses and threads, I wanted to write a little bit about some of Sonia’s extended family. Thus, here is some information about His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, Duke of Neuchatel (King Alexandre’s brother and only sibling, and Sonia’s uncle) and his family.

Note: Each member of this family is referred to as “His/Her Royal Highness” or “Your Highness,” despite Arthur and Olivia being the Duke and Duchess of Neuchatel. Because they are the sole Royal Duke and Duchess (with their titles granted to them upon marriage by the former King), they are addressed as Royal Highnesses as opposed to “Your Grace,” which is how other Dukes and Duchesses within Novoselic would be spoken of and to, if a servant or commoner is addressing them (at parties, or among those in the aristocracy, they are referred to as ‘Duke’ or ‘Duchess.’ No, it makes little sense and yes, it’s a lot to learn if your muse ends up working for/with Sonia in the Royal Family or your muse plans to marry her).

Everything is under the cut, as it’s pretty long!

His Royal Highness, the Duke of Neuchatel - Also known as Arthur, Duke of Neuchatel or informally as Arthur Nevermind (his last name, like his brother King Alexandre and his niece Princess Sonia, comes from their Royal House), he is King Alexandre’s only sibling. Born two years after his brother, Arthur proved himself to be charming and charismatic at a young age. Where Alexandre was thoughtful, introspective, and considerate, Arthur was bold and captivating. He loves a healthy competition no matter where it’s found, but he still grumbles that his brother still bests him in chess. His hobbies included shooting, skiing, and, to his mother’s dismay, gambling.

Despite being ‘the spare,’ Arthur relishes in being in charge, delivering orders and having his plans executed perfectly. It made him an ideal football captain in school as well as a member of the In Utero Student Council during his final two years of high school (he chose which events he wished to engage with. They were few and far-between). He consistently received the fastest training times throughout his military training, from obstacle courses to rope climbs to assembling firearms to driving tanks. His eagerness to guide others to victory made him an asset in the Novoselic Royal Army, where he completed his obligatory two years. He married Lady Olivia, daughter of the Duke of Vaud, two years after the Royal Wedding of-then Prince Alexandre, heir to the throne, and Lady Valentina, daughter of the Duke of Ticino.

Now, he is a full-time working royal for the Novoselic Royal Family with charitable interests in war veterans and science/technology. He’s an avid fan of the national football team, luxury fashion, wine, and his collection of rare watches and sportscars. He attends every Monaco Grand Prix and keeps a yacht on the French Riviera (which, on occasion, he’ll invite his wife along. This is not a frequent occurrence).

Before Sonia comes of age and graduates university, he is the one fulfilling many of King Alexandre’s international obligations, so he is often away from home. He prefers to travel in style (or rather, he prefers to have his entire life to be lived ‘in style.’).

Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Neuchatel - Also known as Olivia, Duchess of Neuchatel or informally as Olivia Nevermind, is the wife of the Duke of Neuchatel and Sonia’s aunt. A bit shorter and fuller in the bust than her sister-in-law Queen Valentina, Olivia could be best described as ‘meek and mousy.’ While the King and Duke have golden hair and blue eyes, and the Queen with her platinum hair and green eyes, Olivia still retains the expected (if not requisite) blonde hair of the Royal Family, though hers is a mix of dirty and ash blonde. She has round brown eyes that can make her look permanently surprised if she’s not in control of her emotions.

Olivia is a gentle, soft-spoken woman whom, since birth, has been raised to take her place in Novoselic’s aristocracy. As a child, she loved embroidery, piano, and ballet, but was forced to give up the sport after her teachers insisted she was ‘too chubby’ to continue. From then on, she took up tennis and gardening as hobbies, with the latter carrying on well into her adult life. After marrying Prince Arthur and becoming the Duchess of Neuchatel, Olivia’s interests are, first and foremost, their two children and raising them to be the future Duke of Neuchatel and members of the Novoselic aristocracy.

She spends far more time at home than her husband, though she participates in every official engagement and function the Royal Family asks of her. She is a popular choice to be featured in documentaries and interviews, such as recorded tours around various Royal estates. Her philanthropic efforts are focused mainly around agriculture, animal conservation, horticulture, and children’s charities, and when she becomes of age, Princess Sonia and her aunt often share the duties for animal conservatory and children’s charity efforts.

While she does eat meat, she eats very little of it and tends to choose more fish and plant-based meals. She supports organic farming and hydroponics, and is the host of the annual Novosonian flower show. When she is able to go and invited, she loves to attend Wimbledon.

His Royal Highness, Prince Liam of Neuchatel - Also known as Liam, Prince of Neuchatel or Liam Nevermind, he is Sonia’s eldest cousin on her father’s side and four years younger than she is. A bit taller than his cousin and far more muscular (if not stocky), Liam is brash, loud, and generally unafraid to speak his mind in most matters. If there’s quips being slung in the Royal Family, he’s one of three possible suspects (the others are Queen Valentina and Prince Arthur).

Liam likes to be active and to have a good time, or a good laugh. During Princess Sonia’s first year attending the annual Masquerade Ball, he and some school friends from In Utero Primary School let loose a flock of makango into the ballroom, causing a great uproar when the animals took a dip in the champagne and chocolate fountains and scurried up skirts and trouser legs. Since then, Queen Valentina tends to frown whenever he’s discussed.

He’s not the biggest fan of school, though he has some talent for mathematics and statistics. Languages, literature, and history tend to put him to sleep. What he does like is physical fitness and sports, and won’t hesitate to try most athletics (ballroom dancing, and most types of dancing, are exempt. He hates these). He is primarily a polo and rugby player, but he enjoys football as well and likes to watch boxing and racing. Like his father, he enjoys being part of a sports team, though not necessarily leading it.

Upon graduation, he elects to attend university (or rather, his father tells him he’ll be going) and fulfill his obligatory military service during the school holidays (mostly so he doesn’t become mixed up in his usual partying crowd). While he wanted to be properly deployed, most of his military responsibilities involve defense, particularly at the Novoselic border. He’s frustrated by this and finds it difficult to focus, so during his holidays he’s often found in Spain or Greece, wherever the it-crowd has designated the coolest spot to see and be seen. And like his father, he quite likes luxury goods, expensive liquor, and sports cars. He’s also known to be quite handsome, with his mother’s ash blonde hair and his father’s blue eyes (otherwise known as the ‘Nevermind Blue.’ Sonia’s father, uncle, and Sonia herself all have them, as well as Liam).

Generally, if anyone’s going to appear in the tabloids, it’s usually Liam, and the Royal Family’s PR team has quite a job making sure anything incriminating never sees the light of day (or the light of a screen). His parents wish he’d settle down and actually have a real, meaningful relationship (that looks good in the eyes of the press and the people), but there’s no one special in his life. His charitable interests involve fitness and sports organizations, and he’s present at as many matches as he can. He loves when he’s sent to the Olympic Games to represent his country in the audience and in interviews.

His Royal Highness, Prince Samuel of Neuchatel - Also known as Samuel, Prince of Neuchatel or Samuel Nevermind, is the brother of Liam and Sonia’s cousin. He is two years younger than his brother and six years younger than Sonia. Where Liam is muscular, Samuel is not: however, he’s a good four inches taller than his brother, with long, golden hair (which he usually keeps tied back) and brown eyes (his mother’s). Samuel was one of the earliest targets of Liam’s jokes and jabs, and therefore he’s a bit quieter and considerate when it comes to his comments. Thoughtful and polite, he’s the ‘spare’ of the family and his parents worried he would grow up with a very thin skin. He didn’t take to athletics or military training nearly as easily as his brother Liam (though he took to video games: they bond over Mario Kart and Smash. It was a harrowing moment in Liam’s life the first time Samuel beat him at both).

Samuel is also an excellent student: history and art are his favorite subjects, though he gets exemplary grades in everything at In Utero. His hobbies and passions include visual art (he likes to sketch and paint) and playing the violin, and during the summer months he enjoys fishing. He’s very well-read and enjoys attending theatrical and musical productions as part of the Royal Family. Several of his drawings have been framed by his mother or King Alexandre and displayed in various Royal homes. He’d love to have something hung (besides a portrait of himself) in the National Gallery one day.

Upon graduation, he both chooses to attend University (seriously, he couldn’t get there fast enough) and to serve in the armed forces by joining the Novoselic Royal Air Force. Thus, he learned to both drive a tank and fly a plane before he could drive a car. Samuel loves flying for both work and fun, deeming the air to be the only place his family can’t chide or tease him. After his obligatory service, the Royal Family keeps a small, private plane for his singular use.

As he will not inherit the Dukedom (that will go to Liam), Samuel is both career-minded and a full-time working Royal. His charity work and proposed policies revolve around the arts, from new museums to theaters and productions to educational and grant opportunities. He is always working to add more cultural exhibits to every city and town in Novoselic.

It is often said by the press and public alike that Samuel acts more like they’d expect from the future Duke than Liam, a comment that never fails to upset the entire family.
