South Asian and Hindu Influences in ATLA (Part 2)

disclaimer: i was raised culturally and religiously hindu, and though i've tried to do my research for this post and pair it with my own cultural knowledge, i'm not an expert on hinduism by any means. should i mess up, please let me know.

please also be aware that many of the concepts discussed in this post overlap heavily with religions such as buddhism and jainism, which might have different interpretations and representations. as i'm not from those religions or cultures, i don't want to speak on them, but if anyone with that knowledge wishes to add on, please feel free.

Part 1

In the previous post, I discussed some of the things ATLA got right in its depictions of desi and hindu cultures. unfortunately, they also got plenty of things wrong - often in ways that leaned towards racist caricatures - so let's break them down, starting with...

Guru Pathik

both the word "guru" and name "pathik" come from sanskrit. pathik means "traveler" or "he who knows the way" while guru is a term for a guide or mentor, similar to a teacher.

gurus were responsible for the very first education systems in ancient india, setting up institutions called gurukuls. students, referred to as disciples, would often spend years living with and learning from their gurus in these gurukuls, studying vedic and buddhist texts, philosophy, music and even martial arts.

however, their learning was not limited merely to academic study, as gurus were also responsible for guiding the spiritual evolution of their disciples. it was common for disciples to meditate, practice yoga, fast for days or weeks, and complete mundane household chores every day in order to instill them with self-discipline and help them achieve enlightenment and spiritual awareness. the relationship between a guru and his disciple was considered a sacred, holy bond, far exceeding that of a mere teacher and student.

aang's training with guru pathik mirrors some of these elements. similar to real gurus, pathik takes on the role of aang's spiritual mentor. he guides aang in unblocking his chakras and mastering the avatar state through meditation, fasting, and self-reflection - all of which are practices that would have likely been encouraged in disciples by their gurus.

pathik's design also takes inspiration from sadhus, holy men who renounced their worldly ties to follow a path of spiritual discipline. the guru's simple, nondescript clothing and hair are reflective of the ascetic lifestyle sadhus are expected to lead, giving up material belongings and desires in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and, ultimately, liberation from the reincarnation cycle.

unfortunately, this is where the respectful references end because everything else about guru pathik was insensitive at best and stereotypical at worst.

it is extremely distasteful that the guru speaks with an overexaggerated indian accent, even though the iranian-indian actor who plays him has a naturally british accent. why not just hire an actual indian voice actor if the intention was to make pathik sound authentic? besides, i doubt authenticity was the sole intention, given that the purposeful distortion of indian accents was a common racist trope played for comedy in early 2000s children's media (see: phineas and ferb, diary of a wimpy kid, jessie... the list goes on).

furthermore, while pathik is presented a wise and respected figure within this episode, his next (and last) appearance in the show is entirely the opposite.

in the episode nightmares and daydreams, pathik appears in aang's nightmare with six hands, holding what appears to be a veena (a classical indian music instrument). this references the iconography of the hindu deity Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. the embodiment of divine enlightenment, learning, insight and truth, Saraswati is a member of the Tridevi (the female version of the Trimurti), one of the most respected and revered goddesses in the Hindu pantheon... and her likeness is used for a cheap laugh on a character who's already treated as a caricature.

that's bad enough on its own, but when you consider that guru pathik is the only explicitly south asian coded character in the entire show, it's downright insulting. for a show that took so many of its foundational concepts from south asia and hinduism and yet provided almost no desi representation in return, this is just rubbing salt in the wound.

Chakras

"chakra", meaning "circle" or "wheel of life" in sanskrit, refers to sources of energy found in the human body. chakra points are aligned along the spine, with energy flowing from the lowest to the highest point. the energy pooled at the lowest chakra is called kundalini, and the aim is to release this energy to the highest chakra in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and consciousness.

the number of chakras varies in different religions, with buddhism referencing five chakras while hinduism has seven. atla draws from the latter influence, so let's take a look at the seven chakras:

Muladhara (the Root Chakra). located at the base of the spine, this chakra deals with our basest instincts and is linked to the element of earth.

Swadhisthana (the Sacral Chakra). located just below the navel, this chakra deals with emotional intensity and pleasure and is linked to the element of water.

Manipura (the Solar Plexus Chakra). located in the stomach, this chakra deals with willpower and self-acceptance and is linked to the element of fire.

Anahata (the Heart Chakra). located in the heart, this chakra deals with love, compassion and forgiveness and is linked to the element of air. in the show, this chakra is blocked by aang's grief over the loss of the air nomads, which is a nice elemental allusion.

Vishudda (the Throat Chakra). located at the base of the throat, this chakra deals with communication and honesty and is linked to the fifth classical element of space. the show calls this the Sound Chakra, though i'm unsure where they got that from.

Ajna (the Third Eye Chakra). located in the centre of the forehead, this chakra deals with spirituality and insight and is also linked to the element of space. the show calls it the Light Chakra, which is fairly close.

Sahasrara (the Crown Chakra). located at the very top of the head, this chakra deals with pure cosmic consciousness and is also linked to the element of space. it makes perfect sense that this would be the final chakra aang has to unblock in order to connect with the avatar spirit, since the crown chakra is meant to be the point of communion with one's deepest, truest self.

the show follows these associations and descriptions almost verbatim, and does a good job linking the individual chakras to their associated struggles in aang's arc.

Cosmic Energy

the idea of chakras is associated with the concept of shakti, which refers to the life-giving energy that flows throughout the universe and within every individual.

the idea of shakti is a fundamentally unifying one, stating that all living beings are connected to one another and the universe through the cosmic energy that flows through us all. this philosophy is referenced both in the swamp episode and in guru pathik telling aang that the greatest illusion in the world is that of separation - after all, how can there be any real separation when every life is sustained by the same force?

this is also why aang needing to let go of katara did not, as he mistakenly assumed, mean he had to stop loving her. rather, the point of shedding earthly attachment is to allow one to become more attuned to shakti, both within oneself and others. ironically, in letting go of katara and allowing himself to commune with the divine energy of the universe instead, aang would have been more connected to her - not less.

The Avatar State

according to hinduism, there are five classical elements known as pancha bhuta that form the foundations of all creation: air, water, earth, fire, and space/atmosphere.

obviously, atla borrows this concept in making a world entirely based on the four classical elements. but looking at how the avatar spirit is portrayed as a giant version of aang suspended in mid-air, far above the earth, it's possible that this could reference the fifth liminal element of space as well.

admittedly this might be a bit of a reach, but personally i find it a neat piece of worldbuilding that could further explain the power of the avatar. compared to anyone else who might be able to master only one element, mastering all five means having control of every building block of the world. this would allow the avatar to be far more attuned to the spiritual energy within the universe - and themselves - as a result, setting in motion the endless cycle of death and rebirth that would connect their soul even across lifetimes.

Moonflower

(Flowers part II)

Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV

Azriel x ex!reader, Rhysand x sister!reader, future Helion x reader

Warnings: angst, brotherly fluff (love u rhysie poo), swearing, elain and azriel slander (minor)

warnings & summary will be updated at every part.

Prompts: N/A

Summary: Nesta and Feyre had taken your wedding dress from Elain and handed it back to you. With the help of Rhysand, you burn it. Rhys suggests for you to go to Day Court and take some time, while he sorts things out with Azriel. What happens when a certain High Lord catches your eye?

a/n there’s going to be so much angst in this series😭 if you ever feel like killing me just know i love you guys, the names of this series are gonna be based off flowers this one is called moonflower as a homage to the night court

I had gone upto my room, not wanting to see the pitying looks of my friends.

Growing up as a High Lord’s daughter made me detached from the world, forced me to hide my emotions. Which is why, I didn’t shed a single tear until I was in the safety of my bedroom.

Shrinking down against my door, I finally allowed the thoughts to catch up.

Every single time he told me he made love to me, he really meant “I’m fucking your brother’s sister in law right under your nose,”.

I don’t even think I can call it making love anymore.

When he told me he loved me, he really meant “I love Elain, not you”.

All of a sudden all his words had double meanings.

“I’m going out,” meant “I’m going to Elain’s”.

“I already ate,” equaled “I ate at Elain’s”.

And at the very end of it all, “I have a mission” was actually “I’m going to get married to Elain,”.

Elain, Elain, Elain. What did she have that I didn’t? I had known him for centuries, been there for him through nightmares, defended him from others, hell I had given my everything to him.

And instead of returning them properly, he had broken them, trampled on my poor heart, fed my mind lies and broken my every being.

Sobs wracked my body as I hunched over myself. My hair was sticking to my face by the tears. Crying quietly, I twisted the ring off my finger, chucking it somewhere in the dark.

Hearing the soft clang of the metal landing made me sob even more. It was a beautiful ring, truly. A silver ring with diamonds encrusted on the top, 3 beautiful gems the colour of Azriel’s siphons. A blue so dark it could pass as black.

My ears were ringing, I could hear a knock on the door, but it was just some background noise compared to the noise of rushing water in my ears.

A talon of power scraped against my walls gently. Getting up, I open the door.

Rhysand stands there with my dress in his hands.

“I said I didn’t want it,” I state, stubborn as ever.

“I know that’s why I came to ask if you wanted to burn it with me,” he says hesitantly.

My eyes flick between Rhysand and the dress, a silent war forging in my violet eyes.

“Fuck it, let’s go”

My meltdown dazed mind didn’t seem to realise that Rhysand hadn’t taken me out through the main hall, but through the back entrances. Too tired to comprehend anything, I didn’t ask even when I realised it.

As if waiting for me a bonfire pit had formed.

Before we had left the room, I had grabbed a box filled with Azriel’s things that I wanted to burn.

With a flick of Rhys’ wrist the dress was positioned on the stand. A stick with fire was commissioned and he handed it to me.

“Would you like to do the honours, little star?” He says waving the stick towards me. I smile slightly at the use of the old nickname.

I grab the stick and throw it at the dress, revelling in the way it burnt.

One by one I added the items from the box.

A human polaroid of the two of us. His comfy grey shirt. All his letters. Flowers he had given me 2 days ago. A glass rose, funny really because my favourite flower isn’t a rose, it’s a moonflower. A promise ring he had got me. The prototype wedding invitation.

Rhysand watched me as I threw object after object into the endless pit of fire. Once the box was empty, I lunged the box into the fire as well.

That’s when he finally spoke up, “Little star, do you want to go visit Day Court for a while, Helion said any one from our court could visit his,”.

I nodded, the anger I had grown from the objects fading into sadness. Rhys held me close wiping my wet, tear stained cheeks. “It’ll be alright” he soothingly whispers.

I had packed my bags the night of the burning and had prepare for going to Day Court the next day.

“Rhys I can winnow myself,” I huffed as he dragged me along.

“I know, I know I just wanted to make sure you got there safe,” he sighs. Understanding, I let him take me there.

If Day Court was beautiful then they’re High Lord was gorgeous.

Peeta x reader. Set during mockingjay after Peeta is rescued from the capitol.

It had been a rough few weeks. First you lost Peeta, which made you pretty unbearable to be around. Then you saw him on TV saying all those things, using words that weren’t his.

Coin had to lock you in your room when they went to rescue him. When they finally did let you see him, you ignored everyone’s warnings including snows. He tried to kill you which was hard to deal with.

Two weeks later and no real developments had been made in the rebellion and they finally let you be alone with Peeta for an hour. You sat in the fake garden in the base of district 13.

And watched as the guards escorted him over to you. He didn’t look like himself. Thin and covered in bruises.

“Call us if you need to.” One of the guards handed you a buzzer. You nodded.

Peeta sat down on the picnic blanket next to you. You felt nervous around him. Which made you want to cry, you were scared of Peeta.

“Hey.” You smiled.

“Hi.” He didn’t look like he wanted to be here.

“I got your favourite bread. And orange soda.” You showed him.

He just stared. “I can’t remember what’s real and what’s not.” He spoke just above a whisper. He sounded so depressed.

You thought for a moment before answering. “Ask me.”

“Green is your favourite colour. Real or not real?” He stared at you.

“Real. Yours is orange, like the sunset.” You smiled at him.

He almost looked relieved. He sort of smiled and took a sip of the soda. His colour.

“I missed you.” Tears filled your eyes.

He looked at his lap. He couldn’t say the same thing. Still confused as to why he believed you wanted to kill Him.

“You used to make me bread like this all the time. It was my favorite part of the week. Not because i liked the bread, that was just a bonus, but because I got to see you.” You spoke, trying to break the tension.

You tore a piece of bread off the loaf and hit it in your mouth.

“I threw bread at you.” He spoke.

“I was starving, you saved me.” You assured him.

“I burnt it on purpose. And my mother beat me for it. If I didn’t care about you I would’ve had a lot less suffering.”

Tears filled your eyes and regret washed over his face.

“It’s all fuzzy. I’m sorry.” He began to cry, holding his head. He repeated that he was sorry until you held him and he slowly hugged you back.

“It’s okay. I’ll help you remember.” You assured him and brushed some hair off his forehead.

“Thank you.” He half smiled.

You just nodded.

“You want to hurt me. Real or not real.” He wiped a tear off his cheek.

“Not real. I swear.”

He nodded as if telling himself it was okay.

“I couldn’t hurt you even if I wanted to. You’ve always been there for me. With the bread. At the Capitol, in the games, back in 12. Always. The only time I ever saw you hurt anything or anyone was to protect me. You are the sweetest person I know.” You squeezed his hand.

He smiled a little wider now, like he was more sure of himself now.

“I love you…real or not real?” He asked again.

“You never said it to me. But I like to think that you did. You showed it. The way you protected me, the way you kissed me, the small things. You planted daisy’s in my front yard because i mentioned I like the smell. You Gave me a pearl in the games…I hold it when I’m scared and when I was missing you.”

“Do you love me?” He asked simply.

You hesitated for a moment. “Yes. So much. I wish I could explain how much I love you but I don’t have the words to describe it. You’re my favorite person in the whole world.” You were teary.

Very carefully he held your cheek. And kissed you gently. You smiled into the kiss. It was over too soon.

“I think I love you too.” Peeta told you.

That was enough for you. You almost laughed in relief.

“That’s good.” You giggled.

You spent the next 2 hours talking, no guards ever came to get him.

You walked with him to his room, and as you said goodnight, and turned to leave he spoke up.

“Stay,”

“Okay.” You smiled.

He gave you a shirt of his to sleep in and it swallowed you whole. You were sure he would also drown in it after losing so much weight.

He hesitated after watching you lie down on his bed.

“What’s wrong?” You asked.

He fiddled with the hem of his shirt. You immediately knew he was scared to show you his body.

“I’ll close me eyes.” You told him and you did.

You heard some shuffling and then after a minute or two he asked you to open your eyes.

His bare chest was shocking. Scars and bruises littered his body, weeks after returning. You could see his ribs.

Tears filled your eyes and your hands came to your face.

“They don’t hurt anymore.” He told you.

“Are you sure?” You asked sadly gesturing for him to climb into bed.

He did. “Some are worse than others.”

“You’re perfect. I hope you know that. The scars just prove how strong you are. What you’ve gone through but didn’t deserve. I love you Peeta.” You told him and put your head on his bare chest.

“Thank you.” He was teary too. “I love you n/n.” You smiled through some tears. It was an old nickname that you hadn’t heard for months.

He was remembering.

You were inseparable the next few weeks. Despite Peeta having a few episodes or panic attacks he was doing much better. You were always there to calm him.

You sat with him at Finnick and Annie’s wedding.

“You’re beautiful.” He told you. You smiled, Effie had picked out your dress and to your surprise it wasn’t over the top.

“Do you wanna dance?” You asked with a smile.

“I don’t know if I know how.” He replied.

“You do.” You smiled remembering the victors tour. “But I’ll teach you if you don’t remember.”

He picked it up quickly. Your hands around his neck, his on your waist. You swayed to the music, occasionally spinning or clapping.

He was yours again. Peeta was back. You smiled as he kissed your head.

Darling 18+

——————————————————————————

*A/n~ I’ve never written smut before and this is my first fic I’m posting here so any pointers would be appreciated*

Prompt~ reader is teasing Larissa until she snaps giving into her own wants. Smut fic.

Tw~ NSFW (finger!ng) (sub reader/dominant Larissa) (mommy k!nk) (spank!ng) (swear!ng) (eating out) (thigh r!d!ng) (strap)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fingers tugged at your hair absentmindedly throwing it up In a bun on top of your head. Pieces of your fringe fell to cup your cheeks as you sighed. Today had been nothing short of stressful. You love your job, of course you did but that didn't mean it didn't come with its own challenges. You'd been teaching outcast history at Nevermore now for 3 years, so of course you knew certain points in the semester was hell. The teaching itself is wonderful, you love passing on your knowledge to your students. You can't help but find it fascinating to talk about of the different kinds of outcasts, the challenges they face, how they came to be and the relations between Outcast and Normies. But the paperwork? Now that was tiresome and quite frankly boring as hell. But still you did try your best to stay caught up on it so it didn't take all the joy from your days. However the past few months really you'd neglected your paperwork in favour for something else. Or rather someone else.

A certain stunningly tall principle offered a great distraction these days. In fact she's the reason you had paperwork overflowing from your desk. Over your years here you watched as a tentative friendship blossomed between you and Larissa. Often most weekends you'd go to her office to drink wine and relax by the fire. It's one reason why you have grown to long for the weekends. Recently those evenings had included some harmless flirting between the pair of you. It was no secret you had eyes for the fairer sex however when you found out Larissa was the same you honestly choked on the wine you had swigged. You hadn't expected her to be interested in women or well rather anyone. If anything she seemed married to her job. She loved Nevermore and it's students more than anything else. It was endearing to see the determination and care she put in every day to be the best principal Nevermore had ever seen.

You made your way to the desk and decided to start from the bottom. This way you knew no matter how much you managed to complete tonight before you passed out from exhaustion, you wouldn't miss any deadlines. You're classroom was peacefully silent apart from the gentle scratching of pen against paper. You couldn't help but allow your mind to wonder to your boss. After all you were completing these with the upmost care making sure everything was legible, aiming to reduce the stress she would have. You'd spent many night's listening as she would whine about messy plans submitted from teachers. Your mind wandered to the previous night. The flirting had an affect on you, you were starting to think Larissa knew that. Secretly enjoyed flustering you. You couldn't help the small smile that overtook your lips as you recalled one of your favourite moments. You were sitting in a comfortable silence watching the flickering flames dance together. Only when you'd taken a big swig of your wine did Larissa lean over and whisper in your ear "you look absolutely ravishing love" causing you to cough and splutter on the wine as a bright red blush adorned your cheeks. Larissa couldn't help blur chuckle are the response you gave. It pleased her to no end knowing she had this effect on you.

As if the women on your mind knew you were thinking of her, your phone lit up with a text from her.

"Y/n can you come to my office? I'm feeling quite stressed and I would benefit from your help." You know what they say curiosity killed the cat, that's why you found yourself walking the familiar route to her office. Paperwork forgotten. Once you reached her doors that clearly stated "principle L. Weems" on a thick golden plate, you didn't even know you just pushed the doors open slightly, just enough for you slip through the gap before shutting the doors. Turning around you could see that the women had her shoulders tensed up, eyes fixed on the paper as she concentrated and her left hand balled into a fist as her right carefully scribbled down on her own work.

"Larissa?" You whispered only wishing to alert her to your presence and not spook her when she was clearly concentrating.

"Ah y/n! Please do come here darling." You couldn't help but freeze and blush at the pet name. Larissa seemed to be in a strange mood this evening as when you didn't move she barked at you in a stricter voice that was normally used with her students "now y/n!"

You couldn't help but quickly scurry to stand in front of her bowing your head in a form of an apology. "Uh sorry Larissa, what did you need?"

"Darling, I've had a stressful day" there was that name again, and you knew this fact already. I'm fact you'd had to send two of your students to her office for their behaviour today. "Now I'm sure you noticed we have a special kind of relationship and you can tell me if I'm wrong here but I think it could extend to more than friends and more than boss and employee wouldn't you agree dear?"

Eyes blinking rapidly you processed what she'd just admitted. She wanted to be more than friends? Excitement rose through you as you nodded in your agreement. "Darling, words please" she whispered holding your gaze. "I um I agree Rissa" you diverted your gaze to find your shoes not being able to contain the flush spreading over your cheeks. You had to be dreaming? Right? "Perfect! So love why don't you come and help relieve this stress?" The thickness in her voice and the glint In her eyes showing you just how badly she wanted you. God this had to be a dream. But no way would you turn this down, even if you'd wake up in an extremely frustrating state.

"Wha-what um what can I do to help Rissa?" Eggar to please the women you would only go as far as she wanted. You stood, head still tilted down waiting for instructions. Suddenly the tilting of your head wasn't to hide your blushing, no it was that of submission. Unknown to you this pleased Larissa to no end. You almost dropped to your knees at her command. And the commanding tone? God you are a goner. "Come sit on my lap pet" moving to straddle her lap you rested your face in the crook of her neck. Her scent was that of floral and honey mixed together. You went limp allowing her to readjust you as she deemed fit. A little shaken breath escaped you your aching centre rested against her toned thigh.

"Now little one, I have to finish some work and your going to be a good little one and rut against my thigh hmm? I know you need me y/n. I can practically smell you as you drip onto my thigh. Before any of that I need to know you want this. If you don't this can stop now and we can just talk." The last part of her words sounded slightly unsure like she was expecting rejection. But that wouldn't come. You wanted her. Needed her. And most importantly you wanted to help her destress. If this was what she wanted the hell you'd happily allow it for as long as she was willing. You managed to whisper out a please which caused the women to smile and tap your hips, silently giving you permission to follow the order you'd been given. Your hips slowly rocked against her thigh, teasing yourself not that you needed to but If this was a dream then you wanted it to last forever. Soon enough whines of need and pleasure we tumbling from your lips and into her neck. Breath ticking the little hairs there. You could feel how you were soaking her strong thigh, you picked your pace up subconsciously as you grew closer to your peak. Movements become more desperate and needy as she brought a hand to your waist, fingers finding purchase there hoping to slow your movements. She was almost done and although she could let you fall over the edge now, she didn't want to. She wanted to see you as pleasure took over your every thought.

Pen now thrown down against the desk, you had her full attention as you mewled against her neck "fuck mmm Rissa I need"

"Oh darling I know what you need. But you have to earn it. Don't you want to be my good girl?" She husked out placing a gentle kiss to your head as she brought her over hand up to fully still your hips. Fuck you could cum just by that statement. You stood up on shaky legs allowing your breathing to attempt to steady itself.

"Little one, kneel" and you did just that. It was embarrassing how quickly you followed her commands. You knew you seemed like a pathetic slut but truthfully for Larissa you are just that. Normally you wouldn't submit so willingly.

Kneeling in front of her chair, face to face with her panty clad sex you couldn't help but wonder what she'd taste like. You drew your bottom lip between your teeth at the thought. Unknowing that Larissa was watching every action closely. She shifted her hips and removed her own panties as you went wide eyed. Your pupils dilated as you were now looking at her dripping pussy. You were taken there and then. The unbearable urge to just dive in between her gorgeously toned thighs. You looked up at her through your eyelids silently begging for permission to do just that.

You looked so desperate there fully clothed, hair messy and eyes clouded with desire. She couldn't help but being her hands to find purchase in your hair, giving you all the permission you needed. Larissa took a sharp breath as you gingerly licked around her soaked pussy, teasing her and just getting a taste. She was your new favourite flavour. Nothing you'd ever tasted compared to this. You'd happily eat her for the rest of your life. As you continued to explore with your tongue you were able to gage what was having the best effect. The kitten like licks lavished her clit had her gripping tighter in your hair pulling you closer in a silently plea for more.

"Fuck y/n please stop teasing me" she whimpered out between breaths. Taking this as your cue you finally allowed your tongue to explore inside her lips. The taste so much stronger caused you to moan and clench your thighs together. Wanting to be good for her you tried to ignore your own desire. Suddenly confidence overwhelmed you and you plunged two fingers into her sopping pussy, causing her to cry out a strangled moan. You were pumping your fingers in and out at a brutal pace, the primal need to make her cum driving you. Her breathing was irregular moans tumbling from her lips as you felt her thighs start to shake, tale tale signs to keep going despite the burning in your arm. You brought you mouth to her bundle of nerves and sucked. Hard. Which was what helped Larissa let go and cum hard all over your fingers that were still buried in her sex. You could feel her walls fluttering around your fingers as you helped her down from her high. Tugging on your hair was pulling you away from her, causing you to whine in protest. “Tsk, darling you are going to pay for that I thought you were going to be good for me hmm? “

"I'm sorry I just I wanted you to feel good i-"

She cut you off "I don't wish to here excuses. Y/n come lay over my lap... now!" The commanding tone once again had you falling over your own feet in an attempt to comply as quickly as possible.

You felt your dress being lifted up to your hips and your panties striped from you. The cold air hitting your pussy causing a small gasp.

"Count little one, I want you to be a good girl for me okay ?"

You nodded and waited for the blow that you knew was coming. Surely enough a firm well placed smack to your right ass cheek as you gasping out "fuck o one"

"Ow two"

"Th three"

"Oh fuck me four" your voice was quivering now as tears strolled down your face, dripping onto the floor.

"You're doing so well darling just one more okay such a good girl for me"

"F five fuck me mommy!" You all be screamed out your word's echoing off her official walls. The women underneath you froze hearing your last word. However your sluggish brain still hadn't quite caught up on what you'd said. No all you could think about was the stringing of red flesh and your own needy dripping pussy. Larissa brought her hand to rub firm gentle circles on your back as you collected your breathing. God this women would be the death of you. She'd not even touched you properly yet and yet here you were minutes away from begging her like a desperate whore.

Larissa brought you so she was able to see your face. Her thumbs wiped the stray tears that had fallen as she was overcome with the desire to kiss you. A needy breathless kiss that made you week at the knees. The kisses trailed off to your cheeks, your neck and your ear before she whispered what was quite possibly your new favourite sentence. "Can I fuck you love?" You nodded embarrassingly quick as you watched her move around. Seemingly finding what she wanted she went and locked the office door, just in case. You blushed knowing it hadn't been locked. You were lucky it was out of school hours, so no students would be around. You were captivated as Larissa stripped down slowly before slipping on the harness. A dark red colour sporting a red dildo. You were relieved to see it was roughly average size and girth. Knowing how sensitive you'd be anything bigger would've destroyed you. You didn't realise you were starring until fingers clicked in front of you. "Thought I lost you there little one, now strip. I want to fuck you" it should've been a world record for how fast you rid yourself of your bra and dress. Larissa chuckled at your eagerness and helped you up to sit on her desk. You watched with a desperate interest as she lined the toy up with your centre. Thrusting in once causing your eyes to roll back your head and your back to arch as you adjusted to her size. She was busy peppering kisses up and down the tall of your neck and over your collar bones. She knew you needed more when your hips jerked forward desperately seeking more. Only then did she pull out of you almost all the way before slamming back into you. Settling a delicious but ruthless pace. You're moans were uncontrollable by now. Loud and mumbled becoming in coherent as you began the climb to your own climax.

“Little one, if you wish to come beg me" Larissa husked at you breathing irregular due to the labour of her harsh movements.

"P pl easeee Larissa I need to cum let me cum." You all but cried out

"You're so pretty when you beg my love but same my name."

"Risaaaaaa fuck me please oh god I can't"

"No little one say. My. Name." She all but growled out at you making sure to keep you teetering on the edge of your own climax that your body desperately desired.

"Oh fuck me mommy please mommy please I need you" and with that Larissa brought a hand to your clit causing your body to throw you over the edge. Moaning desperately as you rode out your orgasm. Sweat covered your body as she pulled out of you gently causing you to whine and collapse back against the desk. Concern flashed through her eyes. Had she been too rough?

"Darling are you okay?" The concern Evident in her voice.

"Mhmmmmmmm I mm " you managed to mumble out fighting your exhausted body. Larissa had fucked you so well your body and brain couldn't keep up.

Sensing that she'd done a good job Larissa chuckled and pulled you into her arms carrying you to her quarters next door.

"Oh look at my little one, mommy fucked you well mmm?" There was a hint of pride in her tone which caused a sleepy hmm of agreement from you. You were curled up against the principle desperately wishing hoping you weren't going to wake up and this only be a dream. Exhaustion was seeping through your bones as your stubbornly tried to fight it, just in case this was a dream you didn't want it to end.

"Sleep now little one, I'll still be here when you awake darling" the soothing words and tone was all it took for you to allow sleep to take you.

Word count~ 2983

Hello! First time making a request haha- Can I request a idol!Yuu please? My personal favourites to see this with is Vil, Idia, Azul and Lilia but you can write others as well if you want to! Have a good day/night! :D ~ Idia nonnie <3

Ooo~ Fresh asker~ Nice to meat you. Yes, I do mean meat. Just know I got both of your requests and will try to fulfill both. I had a plan to write something like this before. In the future, I may write something closer to what you're imagining but if you've read my fic before you know that I tend to put my own spin on things. Shoot me a message if you want me to write something else.

It's Your Party (so do what you want to)

Idol!femYuu (originally Party Planner!Yuu but scrapped) x Vil, Idia, Azul, and Lilia

Ace

Yuu stared at her ceiling and wondered how she got there. She was going to kill Crowley for this. He assigned her to help plan the campus birthday parties. Why did everyone have to have one of those? Thankfully she only had to write down what the dorms wanted so she can forward the bill to the administration.

Still, it has a pain in the ass.

It only got worse a few weeks before Ace's birthday when he found(snooped) her notebook and read her notes. Instead of notes for a lecture, he missed he found lyrics. Lyrics were written about a certain headmaster and how agitating he was.

Pay no attention

to the man behind the curtain

He's a brainless, heartless, coward

with no power

That's just another trick of his

He ain't no wiz

don't fear his fire

Jump in my balloon,

I'll take you higher

Take you somewhere over the rainbow

Get your ticket to the show

Heels click, and here we go

Cuz you already know

There's no place like (home)

Ace immediately took advantage and when Yuu asked what to book for his party, he asked for Yuu to sing. Which got him a rolled-up bundle of papers to the head. It resulted in Ace begging her to stop hitting him.

Yuu only agreed when Ace said that as his friend she should want to make his birthday special.

Yuu was staring blankly at the ceiling trying to figure out what song to write. She didn't write happy-go-lucky birthday songs. She wanted something meaningful rather than just mushy. But they were friends so she should make something good.

If he wants a show so bad, she'll give him one hell of a show.

When the curtains opened up on stage she was dressed in a bunny-themed short dress with white ears and fluffy bracelets.

She gazed out into the crowd before she spotted Ace at the head table with their other friends who waved at her.

My friends don't walk, they run

Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun

Popping, popping balloons with guns

Getting high off helium

We paint white roses red

Each shade from a different person's head

This dream, dream is a killer

Getting drunk with a blue caterpillar

Ace and the gang cheered her on as she danced.

I'm peeling the skin off my face

'Cause I really hate being safe

The normals, they make me afraid

The crazies, they make me feel sane

There was some gawking from the audience at that line.

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad

The craziest friend that you've ever had

You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone

Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong

Over the bend, entirely bonkers

You like me best when I'm off my rocker

Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed

So what if I'm crazy? The best people are

All the best people are crazy

All the best people are

As she sang she gestured for Ace to come up to the stage which he complied. He stood at the edge of the stage as Yuu bent down to his level.

Where is my prescription?

Doctor, doctor, please listen

My brain is scattered

You can be Alice, I'll be the Mad Hatter

As she said this her hand when to his cheek before she pinched it roughly. Yeah, she was still mad at him.

Still, she closed out the song well after this. She still had a few more songs to follow after this.

The party was a blast though.

Vil

Another day, another birthday. That fiasco at Ace's party made everyone believe Yuu has now a part of the party package.

Sure enough, she made sure Crowley was signing her checks for every song because she wasn't paid for planning.

It's still a pain though. It's not that she didn't like it, it just the clients.

So speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Vil's party order had come in and Yuu's name was written as the entertainer. Part of the request was a song written just for Vil.

So he wants her to sing his praises literally. Typical. She will charge extra for it. (she actually enjoys this)

She made sure the stage was set up in the center of the ballroom so she could be seen from all angles. A red carpet would be laid out leading toward Vil's throne.

Midway through the event as Vil finished his speech and sat on his throne Yuu entered the venue. Dressed to the nines with a peacock dress and blowing kisses.

She grabbed the mic and the lights dimmed on everything but her.

"I dedicate my first song to our fair queen and my number 1 celebrity crush. Long may he reign victorious in the popular polls."

Vil practically glowed from the praise as he awaited to hear her sing for him. Like a good little songbird.

Number 1, number 1, number 1, oh, yeah,

Number 1, number 1, number 1, oh, yeah,

So glad I found you,

So glad I found you, boy,

I've been dreamin' 'bout you

You got me feeling extra good, whoo

Would you come with me to a place in my dream? Whoo, yeah

Would you follow me, it could be alright,

But would you come with me to a place in my dream?

You're music, tonight

Yuu never looked at the crowd. Her eyes only fell on Vil. No one else in the room was worthy enough for her gaze. This song was about him and for him.

Oh,

I think about my number 1

Oh,

You can never be the one in wonder

I don't need to play another love song

Whoop,

'Cause baby, you're my number 1

Number 1, number 1, number 1, oh, yeah,

Number 1, number 1, number 1, oh,

Number 1, number 1, number 1, oh, yeah,

Number 1, number 1, number 1, oh,

Yuu began descending the stage as she strutted towards Vil as the lights followed her. Vil's eyes widened slightly as she stood in front of him.

You got that something

Not like the other boys

Vil's shock turned to a smug smile as he leaned forward.

I wanna just love it

This is the moment in my history

That you come with me to a place in my dream

But you follow me, could be alright

Would you come with me to a place in my dream? Whoo, yeah

You're music tonight

Yuu leaned down to meet him and as she sang her lips almost brushed against his before she retreated. The gasps from the scandalized crowd turned into cheers. The shutters of the cameras couldn't be heard over the music.

Yuu ended the song as she went back to the stage to finish her set.

Vil was more than satisfied with her performance. So much so that he tried to get her into music agency.

His secret goal was to make her into a celebrity idol so they could become the next power couple.

Azul

Yuu knew what to expect when Azul's request landed on her desk. Everything was already organized from the decor to the menu. The invoice would be a hassle though.

Jade made sure to press how much Azul was looking forward to seeing Yuu perform. Yuu rolled her eyes because she was already told that the school isn't covering the cost of the entertainment due to the lounge being private venue.

Azul and Yuu had to go back and forth about the deal. Azul wanted something show-stopping for his party. Something that suits the lounge atmosphere. Yuu agreed but it wasn't actually easy to write the songs.

On the day of the party, they set up early as Yuu stayed in the back to finish getting ready.

Once the celebration began she sauntered into the dining area and began engaging with the crowd as always. Greeting and making her way to Azul, parting the bystanders as she went.

She gave Azul a little peck on the cheek before leaving his side for the stage. Azul waved her off as his cheeks turned red. There would be none of that until her work was done.

Yuu laughed as she took Jade's hand and was led to the aquarium backdropped stage. Stepping onto the lounge stage felt like returning to an old friend.

She stepped towards the mic stand and listened for the first notes.

Do I look lonely?

I see the shadows on my face

People have told me I don't look the same

Maybe I lost weight

I'm playing hooky with the best of the best

Put my heart on my chest so that you can see it, too

I'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall

The lace in my dress tingles your neck, how will you live?

As she said this line she gestured to her dess and shook her hips causing a few whistles from the crowd.

The death of a bachelor

Oh oh

Letting the water fall

The death of a bachelor

Oh oh

Seems so fitting for

Happily ever after (woo)

How could I ask for more?

A lifetime of laughter

At the expense of the death of a bachelor

Yuu smiled as she geared up for her favorite part. Azul had been such a pain with the details for tonight and she would give him his show-stopper. She nodded to Floyd who sweet her off the stage and placed her firmly on the ground as she began walking towards Azul who was sitting in the mist of the crowd.

I'm cutting my mind off

Feels like my heart is going to burst

Alone at a table for two and I just wanna be served

And when you think of me am I the best you've ever had?

Yuu smiles wryly as she sits in Azul's lap. All eyes are on them now as Yuu serenaded the blushing housewarden. He tries to keep in mind that he inadvertently paid for this, literally.

Share one more drink with me, smile even though you're sad

I'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall

The lace in my dress tingles your neck, how will you live?

Yuu had tossed out any subtlety as she played with his tie. Azul was going to get her back for this, she could feel it under his tense form.

The death of a bachelor

Oh oh

Letting the water fall

The death of a bachelor

Oh oh

Seems so fitting for

Happily ever after (woo)

How could I ask for more?

A lifetime of laughter

At the expense of the death of a bachelor

Yuu finished the song with another kiss as the crowd cheered her on.

Azul was bad at pretending to be mad, thankfully he fake forgave her after he hung the pictures of the act at the lounge entrance.

Idia

Getting a request from Idia was a genuine surprise. He wasn't exactly a party person even if it was mandatory. It didn't change the fact that Idia still sent his request.

The party will be themed around underground idol concerts with light sticks and all.

This meant that he wanted pop music. Ironically Idia's party seemed to be the most reasonable to her.

When Yuu jumped onto the stage she could barely see Idia standing in the observation room above everyone. Out of sight but still watching.

Yuu waved to the crowd as her adoring fans called her name.

날카로운 secret 둘러싼

얘긴 베일 속에

점점 더 깊은 h-h-hush

맘을 겨눠 이제

여긴 온통 어두운 밤하늘색

그림자조차 길을 잃게 해

Yuu had to practice this song so many times. It had to match Idia's expectations to the letter and she wasn't going to let him down.

Oh 넌 항상 love is game

쉽게 즐기는 가벼움일 뿐이라고

뭐 이렇게 못된 얘기로 자꾸

피해 가려고만 하니 왜

Do k-pop stars really do all these poses? Its probably more tiring than the dancing. She wished she could see everyone's faces right now.

커지는 heart b-b-beat

빨라지는데

너답잖게 heart b-b-b-beat

거려 나를 볼 때

마지막 남은 순간까지

점점 다가오지 crazy

아찔하게 겨눈 russian roulette

Ah-ah-ah-yeah

La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)

Heart b-b-b-beat

마지막 남은 순간까지

내게 맡기게 될 거야 넌

달콤한 너의 Russian roulette

The audience loved it but Yuu was starting to run low on energy keeping up with the dance light sticks being waved wildly in the crowd. Was Idia watching? Did he enjoy her song?

반짝인 secret

더 이상 외면하진 못해

버튼은 내가 p-p-push

받아들여 이제

니 맘 온통 내 모습 채워지게

꿈꿀 때조차 나를 찾게 돼

Oh 아직 넌 love is game

내게 말해도 흔들려 니 목소리도

장난스레 스친 눈빛 너머로

어쩔 줄 모르는 니 모습

'Please look at me Idia! Don't look away for a second!" She thought as she spun and posed.

커지는 heart b-b-beat

빨라지는데

너답잖게 heart b-b-b-beat

거려 나를 볼 때

마지막 남은 순간까지

점점 다가오지 crazy

아찔하게 겨눈 Russian roulette

Ah-ah-ah-yeah

La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)

Heart b-b-b-beat

마지막 남은 순간까지

내게 맡기게 될 거야 넌

달콤한 너의 Russian roulette

Yuu took a deep breath and when she finished feeling exhausted. The crowd was deafening in the small space.

Her eyes drifted up to the shadowed room. Her eyes lit up when she was it. Idia was cheering for her.

Maybe she wasn't completely ready to become a pop start yet.

But she was energized all over again to keep singing.

"Who's ready for an encore!"

Lilia

"Does he even celebrate his birthday?" Yuu thought to herself while reviewing her paperwork "It's New Year so I can't blame him."

It's going to be a big party, the biggest of the year. And Lilia wants a concert to ring in the new year. Yuu will be the main event, of course.

Lilia however doesn't want to be outdone and will be her stage partner.

Yuu and Lilia spent the holiday putting their show together. They went all out on a rock ballad.

Almost everyone in school came to the concert and it would be a lie if Yuu said she wasn't nervous. When she looked over to Lilia as he placed his guitar over his shoulders. He caught her gaze and gave her a reassuring smile before giving her a push onto the stage.

She quickly grabbed the bat and pulled him with her. If she was doing this now so was he.

The two set up and greeted the cheering crowd.

"Happy new year!" Yuu yelled over the mic.

The audience cheered and clapped as the music began.

For so long now I've been coming to your rescue

Got me thinking I'll get you

And I'm serious when I say I'm over it, I'm over it

And your fucking lies

That you'll stick around

Stay on my side of town

Now I'm covered in blood

And I'm feeding off your pretty little lies

Yuu sang first as she watched Lilia smile wryly as he played. He moved to take Yuu's place as she more aside as he sang.

For once why can't you just come and chase me

Dig up my grave and save my body

Now I'm rotting to the bone

But my heart's still beating

Hoping you won't leave me

Creepy girls, you're just my style

Blood-red lipstick, you don't smile

Falling victim to your fantasy

Damn, I love it that you're so creepy

The two no longer focused on the show. They were going back in forth in their own dance. They challenged each other, almost chasing as they moved.

Now you're risking it all

For some creepy girl

With a blacked-out rage that'll cast a spell

Don't tempt her, she's got those evil eyes

Now you're risking it all for some pin-up doll

Who drinks in the a.m. fucks in the p.m.

Treats all the boys like she don't need 'em

Yuu sang unashamed knowing in the back of her head and to some in the audience that she could be the girl in the "evil girl". She is not of course but what if she could be?

Creepy girls, you're just my style

Blood-red lipstick, you don't smile

Falling victim to your fantasy

Damn, I love it that you're so creepy

When Lilia finished he trotted back over to Yuu as he pulled her into a dip kiss while high on adrenaline.

The crowd lost their minds as Lilia came back up with lipstick smudged on his lips and egging on the crowd.

Yuu blushing pushed Lilia off the stage as he winked and began crowd surfing.

"Happy Birthday, you old jerk!" Yuu chided him over the mic.

For the ship ask, shamelessly targeting your weaknesses: TenKen and ItaMahi

And because I like to set tiny fires: SatoSugu

Oh, spicy! Time to fan that fire 😆

TenKen

Ship It

What made you ship it?

I got interested as soon as we met Tengen in ch 145. Her calling Kenjaku a "child" (unfortunately the official translation forgot about that) and Kenjaku previously calling her basically a stagnant, unimportant geezer made me sure there must be some drama hidden in their past and boy was I right. I initially only saw them as a broken up teacher-student dynamic, where the favourite student went astray or maybe a parent-child one and I still hold onto that (not even Tengen is save from Kenjaku's mommy issues), but it evolved way beyond that. I really fell down the rabbit hole when the fight against Yuki started and I've been down here ever since. Still see them mostly as queer-platonic though, not necessarily romantic or sexual, but that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of pining and longing and vore to work with.

What are your favourite things about the ship?

I like how we see a completely different side of Kenjaku when they are around Tengen. They act like a petulant child screaming for attention or a slighted ex. They get loud and petty, very unlike their usual composed appearance. And even if Tengen is good at hiding it, she clearly feels something for Kenjaku too because we wouldn't be in this situation if she had just told one of her six eyes users to kill Kenjaku once and for all. It would take more effort to pull them back at the last second than just let them pulverize Kenjaku. Also, generally the dichotomy between them (dark/light, young/old, progress/stagnation etc) and how they are still always drawn to each other gives so much to explore and it only gets better the more information we get. And there's the implication that they both experimented with Sukuna's body, possibly at the same time. Morally dubious scientist power couple?

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

There aren't really that many opinions on them out there...maybe: let Tengen be old. Her whole thing is aging, so I don't think she looked like in that one sketch we got in the Heian era or Nara period before she merged with a Star Plasma Vessel.

ItaMahi

Ship It

What made you ship it?

I'm usually not big on shipping Yuuji with anyone, but the end of the Shibuya arc definitely unlocked something for me and the anime gave me new fuel. Some great fanart and fic did the rest. I think what I like most about it is how it brings out a more cold and cruel side of Yuuji, very unlike what we see in his relationships with other characters except maybe Sukuna, but with Mahito it feels a lot more raw.

What are your favourite things about the ship?

There is just that pure hate and contrary to Sukuna for example, they are on eye level. They develop together, they challenge each other, they bring out the worst in each other. During their fight you really get the feeling of them just desperately clawing at each other and wanting to kill the other by any means necessary. Very beautiful. Mahito enjoying himself during it and Yuuji taking his own satisfaction in chasing him down make it especially juicy. It's so animalistic and pure and could easily turn into great hate sex.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I don't like when people turn this into basically Mahito just torturing and raping Yuuji, but unfortunately that is a big part of the content that does exist for this ship. The great thing about this ship is their dynamic of push and pull and that there isn't any clear power imbalance between them and I personally enjoy seeing Yuuji push Mahito into the dirt and humiliating him. So I only like it if Yuuji is either the more dominant one (don't care about top or bottom) or it switches between them.

SatoSugu

Why don’t you ship it?

Well, I do think they have some feelings for each other that go beyond being ex-high school friends and I think that's pretty much canon too, no matter if you think those feelings are platonic or not. They give me the impression of being very repressed, but who knows, maybe they used to date or maybe they fucked right up until Gojo blew a hole into Geto. Who cares. As you know, it doesn't work for me for similar reasons as you have. I can't stand Geto and I think he brings out the worst in Gojo. Like Gojo is at his most annoying when he's whining about Geto (although his behaviour during the Sukuna fight is a close second). I used to have a bit more appreciation for their bond during Hidden Inventory, but the ever-present fandom of this ship soured me a lot on it. I prefer to stay away as far as I can from it now.

What would have made you like it?

Geto being a less punchable person? Being less bigoted and overall being a grand idiot about it too? There's not much about it that would honestly make me ship it unless you massively change the characters involved.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

It was very nice of Gojo to not destroy Geto's body out of sentimentality and leave room for Kenjaku to jump in :)

Episode 2: Games and Questions 💬

Cover edited by me

This episode is where the drama begins! It picks up on Elsa's decisions made at the end of Frozen 2 and also on Anna's willingness to befriend anyone without knowing who they really are.

The episode picks up where the previous one left off, when Elsa arrives and extinguishes the fire. Disa is amazed upon seeing Elsa's powers in action for the first time. When Disa came to visit first, when they were little, Anna told her about Elsa's powers, making her the first to know about Elsa's powers. They thankfully see some of the artifacts and books are still fine despite the fire.

After setting off the fire Elsa takes Anna out of the room to talk about what just happened. Elsa tells Anna off gently for allowing anyone to the archive. Then suddenly a Sankerhus fellow pops in to ask something from Anna and Anna acts as if she knows who he is. After the stranger leaves Elsa is quick to point out that Anna doesn't know who he is. To prove her point she asks about his last name. Anna makes up a name hesitantly but Elsa again notices she's lying. Familiar? That's because it's a reference to Kristoff asking about Hans' last name to which Anna replied “Of the Southern Isles ”. Anna gives in and says she's just doing what Elsa told her to do and to let Elsa trust her as she knows what she's doing. Elsa does make a point that the castle feels like a never ending banquet given a while other kingdom is mixed in with Arendelle. But then my favourite part of the episode, Anna can see Elsa misses being Queen! Anna tells Elsa, “Come on Elsa, admit you miss this”, and Elsa replies “You know I actually do”. For a fan who was a little down when Elsa stepped down as Queen (but isn't much anymore - a coming post explains why) and who hates seeing people say Elsa hated being Queen etc, I am really happy they showed this side of Elsa. It's not that Elsa didn't want it to be Queen but rather she didn't expect to be Queen so soon. Not only because of her parents deaths but mostly because she had to focus on controlling her powers and most of all her fear. Her part in "For the first time in forever" says it all. She always feared hurting innocent people with these dangerous powers and to rule hiding them would be hard given you meet and greet a lot of people. Elsa stepped down because she couldn't rule and look after the forest at the same time and she knew Anna would do great as Queen and it would reward her for having saved Elsa, Northuldra and Arendelle. So you ask why does Northuldra need protecting now? Well it's been trapped years under mist so it needs support in regaining its strength and now that more magic is revealed to the world, she knows it can attract people who want to study it, use it, control it, kill it, etc, as she suspects Disa doing here. I didn't for a minute expect Elsa to ever recall her days as Queen, but deep down inside I did want it to happen. It puts a close to those who think she didn't like being Queen or didn't love Arendelle. Elsa continues to say she's just so used to doing this alone. By that she means she knew what decisions were to be made and how to do them. She never needs help with Queenly pressures. She's not saying Anna isn't a good ruler or she isn't capable of making good decisions but rather saying that she misses it, but despite that she gave Anna the crown for a reason and trusts her to do what's best for Arendelle. So if you can't tell already I really loved this conversation between them.

I don't know how this story will turn out but I don't expect Anna stepping down or anything as big or important as that anyway because those things wouldn't be in the podcast I don't think.

Moving on, Disa barges in and then Olaf takes her to dinner. Olaf is so Olaf here. I love it. At the dinner table Anna suggests playing a game where you ask Questions related to your partner's Question. Kristoff and Sven go first, again voice actors are doing a great job at capturing the characters and original voice actors essence. Elsa and Disa are up next and this is when the tables turn and my second favourite moment on the episode begins! Disa asks Elsa why she wanted to see Arendelle's material and Disa asks why she left Arendelle. Elsa asks back why she's so interested in Arendelle to which Disa replies, why aren't you Queen of Arendelle. Elsa asks what she's getting at. As tensions rise, thunders rage and rain pours. Kristoff asks if Elsa's been in touch with Gale today, to which she replies not lately. The episode ends there with tensions rising between a former and current Queen suspecting each other.

So what we can make out here is Elsa suspects Disa of stealing Arendelle's knowledge of magic and using it for her own good. Disa however seems to be accusing Elsa of treason or betraying her own kingdom.. I'm not too sure but I think she's trying to show Elsa's disloyalty to her kingdom. Disa is intrigued by Elsa's magic and the forest's too.. I have a feeling Disa will take some of what is saved from the fire and use it to experiment with her science skills which will cause some kind of chaos but that's just a guess. I could be completely wrong about Disa going full villain.

I predict that Disa is the one causing chaos in the enchanted forest with the machines. The machines are all scientific but they're built with copper which Wolfgang is obsessed with. It could be that Weselton's copper is advanced. She doesn't like magic, she fears it, finds it strange and hence studies it to see if this is a threat or a gift to society. So perhaps she's experimenting in the forest. But I could be totally wrong. But Wolfagang seems like a weird yet innocent man who is genuinely trying to rectify his uncle's actions.

On another note as much as I wanted and some have theorized I don't think Hans is Wolfgang. His voice is different, and he's so crazy about copper and has two pet magpies that apparently can talk plus he knits. He definitely sounds like the nephew of the Duke. I mean would Hans go all out with the magpies and obsession with copper? But I do hope he appears at some point. If not in this season, then the next otherwise than save it for the movie as I do have a bit of hope for his appearance in Frozen 3, but that's for another post.

These episodes have actually been more fun than I imagined. It's interesting, it's fun, it references the two movies, the voice actors nail the original voice actors*. If the story goes down well in the other episodes, then Disney is pulling it off with the podcasts, if not then Disney should reconsider what part of the story they tell through podcasts. I'm excited to see how these will lead up to Frozen 3. I'm not too focused on the supposed theme of Science Vs Nature because story wise it's going great so far. I like a bit of drama because out of that you get reveals which play a part in the story.

But here are the downers to it so far. It seems like it's focused on Disa and Wolfagang while the main characters just play other supporting roles in their journey. When it was being promoted, it was about Elsa, Anna and the lot so it was kinda misleading.

But then again, I think perhaps this event might change Elsa and Anna's perspective on strangers, royal or not. I think they are showing Elsa and Anna learning to trust the right way. And maybe this might help with Hans' redemption if he reappears in Frozen 3. Because if Wolfagang is a genuinely nice man, it may make Elsa and Anna slightly open to forgiving past enemies. I think that's why the Duke's nephew was introduced here and why they could be saving Hans for the movie.

* If you didn't know already, the original cast aren't voicing this I'm assuming because of prep for Frozen 3 or perhaps to give a different feel to the podcasts then the movies. So a new cast is voicing them.

When the other episodes release we'll get further information on what Frozen 3 could be about and where the story is heading.

[ash4prez]

because absolutely NOBODY asked, here’s a list of my top ten favourite warriors characters (SO FAR)

a lot of you are gonna hate me for not including/including certain characters tbh but this is just my opinion

Disclaimer: I’m on Book 1 of Power of Three currently, so these characters are mostly comprised of those from TBP and TNP. i’ll probably make an updated list at some point in the future, but for now this is how it stands:

#10–Longtail. He’s just a good guy tbh. From being a meanie at the start, to choosing not to leave Thunderclan with Dark and Tiger, to being forced into early retirement but taking it like a champ, this guy has just come to be one of my favourite cattos in the series.

#9–Mousefur. The icon, the legend. She’s literally unfiltered and completely rude to everyone without even giving a shit. She’s shown to be very opinionated and headstrong, but also displays a caring side when it comes to Longtail’s blindness. 10/10 character for me.

#8—Ravenpaw. Is there anyone out there who actually dislikes this guy? I genuinely think he is the most chill cinnamon roll ever. He just wants to vibe with his husband in a barn and maybe warn firestar about important stuff sometimes. Even tho he’s a loner, he respects the warrior code and understands the clan ways. He’s just so awesome and i love him.

#7—Stonefur. Yeah yeah i know we only really knew him for a few books, but I just really liked his character. He was really brave and noble, loyal to his clan, generally a good guy. His death was so sad and honestly just the fact that he went down fighting made me respect him even more.

#6—Sorreltail. Omg idk why i like her so much. Just when she was a new warrior and was best buddies with Leafpool made me so happy, and then for her to become mates with Brackenfur (more on him later—) was just a very good ship for me. I just think Sorreltail is cool and generally a nice cat.

#5—Dustpelt. The biggest G in the entire clan. Honestly Dustyboi is so awesome and i love him so much. Like at first i really didn’t like him, what with the way he was rude to Fire and generally an unpleasant guy, but he got so much better and now i stan him.

#4—Tallstar. OK ALRIGHT SETTLE DOWN, hear me out. Reason number one why i love him is that he’s gay and cute with Jake and we love that for him. Reason number two is that he’s actually a decent guy and isn’t passive aggressive and weird like the other leaders are, he just wants to vibe on with his clan and be chill with everyone. Idk i grew very attached to Tallstar throughout the first two series.

#3—Brackenfur. AHHHH where to start with Brackenfur. He’s just an amazing guy honestly. Like he’s chill, gets along with everyone, but also very brave and noble in the sense that he would literally die for his clan. I usually get very attached to the vanilla side characters who have no real plotlines so this is very expected of me, i just really love brackenfur and his character.

#2—Cinderpelt. Not a DAY GOES BY where i don’t cry over her tragic death and the mountains of wasted potential. Fricking Starclan really had to reincarnate her? What was the point of killing her? Ik it probably had something to do with Leafpool being ✨ special ✨ and the only medicine cat, but come on man. Just look at cinder. Look at how cool and awesome she is.

AAAAND COMING IN AT NUMBER ONE ISSSSS *drumroll intensifies*

#1—The most amazing cat ever to be seen, my guy WHITESTORM!!! Honestly come at me for not putting greystripe or squilf in here, idc. Whitestorm for me is an example of what a warrior cat SHOULD be. He was smart, brave, loyal, trustworthy, chill…he literally had no flaws. Like what did man ever do that was controversial? I cant think of anything, i mean correct me if i’m wrong. I just stan Whitestorm and wish he’d been leader istg.

Thanks for reading this ridiculously long rant lol

i feel like i've had the "kids can handle dark topics in stories" conversation on three separate occasions in the past month, what's up with that??? my impression of children's/young teen literature is that it's always been SURPRISINGLY DARK and that it FUCKING SLAPS.

like yeah, my trump card is that i can answer almost every "but what about [HEAVY TOPIC]" with "Animorphs did that actually," which makes animorphs sound super edgy, but the thing is... it didn't feel edgy? it felt like a substantial adventure with drama, tension, goofs, stakes, and a vibrant cast of characters. it was one of the first book series i ever read, so there was nothing that tipped me off that This Series Is So Dark And Gruesome - and i think it's because it wasn't, comparatively. one of my other early reads was Deltora Quest, and like, what school library didn't have Goosebumps? i never got my hands on warrior cats, but like, that series is just one installation in a WHOLE GENRE - the silverwing trilogy, wings of fire, guardians of ga'hoole... groups of animals dealing with war and exile and battle and grief and ridiculously tragic backstories and whatever was going on in these series, ripe for self-insert characters and scenarios for play pretend during lunch break. even the HTTYD books, which are completely different from the movies - they look childish, especially with the illustrated charcoal drawings - hiccup gets captured as a slave at some point, and there's a dragon rebellion that seeks to eradicate all of humanity. it has a lot of goofy moments and some incredibly over-the-top villains, but it doesn't flinch from how gruesome it gets, either.

i think kids genuinely love this stuff!!! not all kids, sure, but i definitely did!!! like!!! have you SEEN the edgy OCs kids and teens will make? the finely crafted horrific backstories? you know how small kids have traditionally played with barbies, right, with beheadings and torture and shakespearean plots? how a lot of kids and teens sought out creepypastas???

i absolutely think it's much easier for BOOKS to go into dark topics than visual media, and i think that's why a lot of people don't realize how much is happening below the surface. we live in a post gravity falls world now, so cartoons for teens are finally allowed to be a little more twisted and "wow i can't believe they went there," but ALSO... from what i can remember from being a Child, the most scarring and horrifying moments in stories for kids were not the existential concept of "oh no you're ten years old and bad guys want to kill you!" but stuff like, the groke from the moomins cartoon, old puppet shows, moments that were viscerally horrifying without being gory in any way...

maybe you don't understand all the Complexities of Heavy Topics when you're nine. but some things will stick with you, and as you grow older and gain more context and knowledge about the world around you, i think those moments can become very valuable. i haven't read animorphs for almost two decades and so much of it has stayed with me. maybe i saw princess mononoke a bit earlier than i "should have," but to this day it's still one of my favourite movies of all time, and my understanding of it grows every time i rewatch it. i don't think it's possible for every story to handle every topic perfectly or even well, but it might still be worthwhile to have engaged with it. i mean, that's the Discourse, isn't it, stories tell you stuff and we can't control what other people take from it.

anyway yeah kids crave blood and carnage and we should give it to them sometimes

#for legal reasons the last sentence is intended in a humorous way #too long for twitter #obviously there's a difference in how kid's media is written and presented than like. game of thrones #... just remembered how i read the demonata in middle school and i was so so into it even though that's a gorefest and a half #ironically i can't read it anymore because my brain's more broken now (not demonata's fault) #i havent read the guardians of gahoole either but im ASSUMING they're similar to warrior cats in vibes #if the movie is anything to go by #IM PROBABLY PREACHING TO THE CHOIR AGAIN #im also saying all this as a person who does have several triggers when it comes to media #and if i read something that my brain is allergic to it WILL stay inside and torture me to the end of days so like. yea

What are some of your favorite quotes from the main series? And what are some from Dunk & Egg?

A lot of the asoiaf quotes are gonna be A Storm of Swords because it’s the book I read digitally the most, meaning I was actually highlighting as I went along. So lots Storm representation oops. Rule of five per series so I don’t get carried away.

Dunk and Egg (this one is long because I love discussing these novellas):

Something something the wealthy huddle beneath lavish roofs and tents and leave the poor to sleep in the rain and mud, but the wealthy have created for themselves gilded cages while the poor can watch the stars fall and claim the gift of luck that comes with it. Thanks George I eat stuff like this up like I’m a starving man.

Feel like we need to mention a dragon dream if we’re discussing Dunk and Egg. My favourite dragon dream in the D&E series. Everything about it is correct: Dunk will be a Kingsguard, he’ll be famed throughout the land, he’ll live for nothing but to serve his King. Though Daemon gets one big thing wrong and that’s that he is not going to be King. Second hand embarrassment. As Bloodraven put it, “The fool just got the colour wrong.” Literally Daemon’s entire character. Spitting facts but he can’t tell red from black.

Defending myself by saying this isn’t a dragon dream. Uhhh so! King Aegon V was killed in a massive fire that burned down Summerhall on the night Rhaegar was born. Duncan the Tall, the Lord Commander, died trying to save both King Aegon and the other party guests from the fire. In this scene, Dunk dreams that he’s digging a grave and people, dead or alive, are appearing in it and speaking to him. The last to appear is Egg, who is buried in the sand even though Dunk tries to pull him out. Dunk falls into the grave and suffocates in the sand. It’s obviously supposed to represent the smoke at the fire of Summerhall. Literally wtf George?

The context is pissing contests by the way. Ignore the pissing part there’s a metaphor there I promise. Dunk is super interesting to me because his raising of Egg makes Egg the small-folk loving King that later rules Westeros. Dunk is wise in his life experience, yet he knows nothing of the struggle of women in both noble and peasant settings. Rohanne let’s him know just how difficult it is for a woman to claim any power or influence in Westeros, using the metaphor of a pissing contest, that classic male bonding activity (a woman needs to piss twice as hard).

This does a really good job of putting into perspective how notable Aegon’s kingship was. “Kings do not heap honour on the likes of you and me,” yet King Aegon V named Dunk his Lord Commander and solidified Dunk’s place as a legendary knight. By ASOIAF, Dunk is spoken about admirably. Another King might not have ever given a man like Dunk the opportunity, but Aegon did.

Asoiaf (shorter because I feel like these have been talked about way more):

Daenerys Targaryen:

Makes me tear up. I feel like it’s obvious why. Also after this she tells Jorah that the people will not hurt her, for she is their mother. And then she rides her Silver throughout the crowd while laughing because she’s so happy and in love with the world!!! This is probably one of the only quotes here that isn’t going to be miserable.

Beric Dondarrion:

“Are you my mother, Thoros?” propaganda I think about this quote so much. Beric and Thoros aren’t even on my top ten list but their conversations and dynamic is absolutely heartbreaking. Beric omg how you rot my brain.

Catelyn Tully:

Not “Ned loved.” Instead, “Ned loves.” Because perhaps in her grief and panic, she forgot her husband had even died. I’m dead.

Jon Connington:

He’s so doomed. He’s so bitter and angry. He loves his son so much and that’s exactly why he’s so doomed. Because he refuses to give his son anything but the best, even though the best is going to kill them both.

Maester Aemon Targaryen:

I am a loyal Egg girl so this killed me nine different times :)

Bucks storyline with his parents in buck begins and the episode before was SO GOOD, I mean like bad for him obviously, but the episodes were so good.

Oliver stark acted his ass off there,especially in the family dinner scene.

Not to brag but I called it from episode one that he had some sort of childhood trauma legit in my drafts I compare him to Alex from greys anatomy cos of that, what can I say? Takes one to know one, I can spot trauma a mile away❤️🥰

Seriously, I love maddie and buck even more now

Also can we cry for a second because (even though it’s not explicitly stated) putting himself in harms way and being reckless just to receive attention and care is self destructive behaviour at best, even if it started as being a kid attention seeking by being reckless.

Omg and him constantly moving trying to find a purpose,a home and people to love? *crying ensues*

So many lines killed me tho:

“And do you wanna know why I’m really in therapy? It’s because I have spent my entire life feeling like a constant disappointment.and you wanna talk about our jobs I have walked through fire every single day of my life because of you, that is why I am in therapy because nothing I ever did was good enough”

^^^( this speech was my favourite) I mean the insinuations of him saying “every single day of my life” like he’s not talking about being a firefighter he is referring to hurting himself just to get some form of love

“Love me anyway”-flawless delivery

“We live with the reminder everyday staring us in the face”

“You matter too, Buck” “(unconvinced face) sure just not to them)

“They think I’m a loser and I’m not I’m not I’m gonna be something I just don’t know what it is yet…the way they look at me, through me, I can’t live with that”

“I almost gave up,if you guys hadn’t come in then..” “but we did and we always will” —-> *cries in found family*

“I’m sure whoever you saved was just glad you were being buck.. you never give up, that’s what being buck means to me and whatever you do don’t stop”

Let's talk about Caesar Flickerman.

What's your opinion about him?

Where do you think Caesar falls onto, supporter of the Capitol or belong to the secret rebel line?

What's your favourite interview moment with Caesar? Why do you like this moment?

What do you think happened with Caesar after the war? Do you think he survived?

How do you like the portrayal in the movies from the books?

Do you like Stanley Tucci performance as Caesar?

Spoiler for TBOSAS :

What do you think the relationship between Lucky and Caesar? Actual blood relative? Or something else?

Thank you :)

@curiousnonny

I love Caesar Flickerman as a character @curiousnonny! So thank you for asking! He's terribly interesting to me because we only get to see him acting in his capacity as interviewer and host. We know he's got to have an off camera life, just like every other celebrity in our world, but what he does on camera is all that we as readers/viewers ever get to see.

I think my favorite Caesar Flickerman moment is one we only half hear about. It's in Catching Fire, after he's been struggling with all these Victor Tributes lambasting or undermining the Games, generally stirring up trouble, and then here comes Katniss with her Mockingjay/Wedding dress to make it that much worse. So what does he do? He makes jokes with Peeta about burnt poultry. I love this moment because it shows that he's trying to diffuse the seriousness of what just happened, divert away from the growing feelings of discontent in his audience, and he leans on his already established, comedic rapport with Peeta... only to have a baby bomb dropped on all his efforts.

I actually don't think he was secretly a rebel. Or at least, I don't feel strongly about that theory. Mainly because he did make all those efforts to pull back away from what were potentially dangerous moments on his show. To me, Caesar is an entertainer who is very good at his job, and he knows that part of his job is maintaining the Capitol's rule. Because I like him so much as a character, it would be nice to believe that he's on the side of the rebels, but I personally just don't see it. To me, he's constantly walking the line between trying to put on a good show and not causing too much trouble on the air.

When Plutarch, the head Gamemaker, flees the Capitol, he brings Cressida and her crew with him to Thirteen. He ensures their extraction. He ensures his own extraction, but not Caesar's. To me, the only believable way Caesar could be with the rebels is if he and Plutarch knew that only one of them would be able to get out of the Capitol when the break out happened.

But that would mean that Caesar would know he was in all likelihood sacrificing himself, and then selling his soul threefold to the devil by conducting those interviews and broadcasts with Peeta during the course of Mockingjay. Then again, he could've been acting as one of Plutarch's contacts inside the Capitol the whole time. The problem is, Caesar is an extremely visible figure, and he'd have to be extremely careful not to get caught at that, and his visibility makes it so that he's got great power to actively undermine what the rebels are doing. It'd actually be much safer for him to continuously undermine the rebels because he's also extremely vulnerable if he causes the Capitol too many problems.

Sadly, I don't think he survived the war. We learn in Mockingjay that Haymitch had to fight to keep Effie alive. Caesar was much more relevant in terms of keeping the Games going and presenting to Panem what President Snow wanted to be seen. If he didn't die in the war itself or didn't get executed by Snow, then I think the rebels probably killed him.

Stanley Tucci's performance was, I think marvelous. Not only did he embody the absolutely zany energy I'd expect from the character, but he added a depth that didn't exist in the books. There are small moments that he adds in, moments of realization where you get to see how aware the character is of what's going on in his world and on his stage. He has a few moments of "Oh shit" facial expressions with Katniss and Peeta, and the fact that we get to see him motioning for them to cut the broadcast in Catching Fire make movie!Caesar a much less comical and more politically interesting character. Not that I don't love book Caesar, but I also love movie!Caesar.

I really love the idea that Caesar is a direct descendant or at the very least, a cousin of Lucky Flickerman, partly because there is a sense of elitism (and nepotism) already built into the Capitol world with Coriolanus Snow being a child of privilege and of one of the "founders" of Panem as we know it. Plus there's all those characters we see in TBOSAS with familiar last names. There's a Heavensbee, a Cardew, a Flickerman, etc. (I think there's a Templesmith too???? It's been a hot minute since I've read Ballads.) But that kind of elitism in the series takes a direct jab at politicians and world leaders today who are descended from someone who was also a high ranking official and criticizes the keeping of power within the hands of a select few... who are all related.

Thanks again for the ask!

Aurelia (my MC):

for Aurelia, the choice was easy. and NO. I DID NOT JUST PICK SNOWFALL BC SHES MY FAVOURITE.

Peril is an obvious choice for her. she was born with Firescales, meaning she burns anything she touches. for most of her life, she was used as Queen Scarlet’s personal weapon in her gladiator arena; no one ever survived fighting her. because of this, after the events of Book 1, when she finally can live her own life, she struggles with self-loathing and anxiety. she’s always been a weapon, and she thinks she always will be. she’s scared of what she can do to others, either on purpose or by accident. she’s scared of herself. in my mind, Aurelia struggles with the same internalised fear. after mastering Ancient Magic, and seeing what it can do, it scares her. She doesn’t want to hurt anyone.

Snowfall was a bit more difficult but i still think it fits. after her mother suddenly died from the magic plague, Snowfall was thrust onto the throne quickly. she’s the youngest queen in IceWing history; and she wants to prove herself. she is also thoroughly paranoid for a lot of Book 14. is she good enough? will she be a strong enough leader? can she protect everyone? her struggles with imposter syndrome and inferiority at times are reminiscent of how i imagine Aurelia is. she’s brave and loyal to a fault, but also feels like she’s failing everyone around her.

Sebastian:

this one was very easy as well. Starflight and Tsunami! (honourable mention: Deathbringer. if you know, you know)

Starflight is very much like Sebastian in some ways. most notably? he’s a total nerd. he reads anything and everything he can get his claws on; and he’s wicked smart. he can air on the side of know-it-all at times, but he has good intentions. he can also just. memorise things he reads very quickly. rather terrifying, honestly.

I felt that Tsunami fit well because… they’re VERY much alike. she is headstrong, brash, and quick to fight, but also deeply loyal and caring. she will never back down from a fight, and would die to protect her loved ones. also… in Book 1, in Queen Scarlet’s arena, Tsunami is forced to battle Gill, a SeaWing who was driven mad during his imprisonment. in the next book, it’s revealed that Gill was Tsunami’s father. to me, this is reminiscent of Sebastian killing Solomon. while not the same as a gladiator ring where it was kill or be killed, both Seb and Tsunami struggle with intense regret, guilt, and self hatred following their respective incidents. Tsunami has frequent night terrors about killing Gill, even before learning that he was her father.

another important detail is Tsunami’s devotion to her sisters. when Queen Coral’s last (female) egg is at risk, Tsunami volunteers to watch it day and night, even though she could very well be killed in the process. the egg hatches into her baby sister, Auklet, whom she loves very much. do i even need to explain how similar this is to Seb doing *anything* to find a cure for Anne.

Ominis:

i had a difficult time at FIRST but then it came to me. like i was punched in the face with how obvious it is. Winter and Tamarin!

seriously, Winter is literally dragon Ominis. he comes from a family of dragon royalty, kind of like the Gaunts being descended from Salazar Slytherin. Winter’s parents suck. like, a lot. specifically his mother. they treat him poorly. his siblings, too, aren’t the best. Hailstorm is a loving brother, but after the Pyrite incident he struggles with his identity and isn’t there for his little brother. Icicle is a loyal sister, but to the point where she frequently commits heinous crimes and attempts murder more than once because…. yeah. she’s also not nice to Winter, at all. Winter doesn’t think he’s worth much since his own family thinks that way. he also is prickly and rude when he’s first introduced, because of his insecurities and inner turmoil, however, once the others get to know him, he’s actually a kind, smart, loyal friend.

Tamarin is also a similar character. she, like Ominis, was born blind and had to learn how to navigate herself. while she had the support of the other RainWings, it’s heavily implied that Ominis didn’t have help from anyone and that his parents resented his blindness. Tamarin is a survivor; she goes through several hardships, i.e the cactus bomb going off while she’s in the library, and she perseveres through it all. Much like how Ominis survives his *incredibly* shitty family and finds himself a better place to be (Feldcroft 💚). in Book 3, Tamarin is chosen as the competitor for the scavenger hunt competition; and Queen Magnificent thinks that’s hilarious. she undermines Tamarin’s ability to compete because of her disability. however, Tamarin *dominates* the competition and wins easily. we often see Ominis underestimated and overlooked, but in reality, he’s an amazingly capable wizard who can use his blindness as an asset, rather than letting it make his life harder.

Natty:

i'm still a little on the fence on this, but i feel like they fit pretty accurately. Luna and Glory; badass and brave!

Luna!!! where do i start with her?? bold. smart. impulsive to the point where it’s almost reckless. she’s deeply loyal to her friends and family, and she’s got a big heart. she can be suspicious, and doesn’t like to leave loose ends hanging, much like Natty. we see Natty go above and beyond in her sleuthing and “there is something not right here” sense to bring Harlowe down. makes me think SO MUCH of Luna and Queen Wasp/the Othermind.

Glory is also very similar to Natty. insanely brave, a natural leader, generous, fair, and above all, will do just about anything to protect her friends and tribe. the scene in which Glory challenges Magnificent for the RainWing throne, because Magnificent can’t be fucked to go save the loads of RainWings that were kidnapped, it makes me think a lot of Natty. she put herself on the line to defeat the Ashwinders and even took a Cruciatus curse to protect her friend. i know for a fact that Glory wouldn’t hesitate to do the exact same thing. they’re both also a bit sarcastic and can be assertive/mean when they need to be.

Garreth:

Mastermind and Jambu just fit Garreth so well. SO WELL

i know Mastermind is a controversial choice. i know. but hear me out. Mastermind is a smart, very experimental dragon with a thirst for knowledge. he does wild tests and such to prove his theories. now, while Garreth does his own little experiments in the safety of the potions classroom (even thought they occasionally explode), and he is a very lovely individual? Mastermind preforms his tests on other dragons and basically tortures them. so yes on experimenting, but they are different in every other way.

NOW! Jambu! Jambu is a very sweet, yet goofy and un-serious guy. and that’s why i picked him lmfao. they are both just. silly. Garreth can definitely be serious when the situation arises, and he’s definitely very smart. not that Jambu isn’t but… we haven’t really ever seen him be serious… and sometimes it seems like his intelligence can be… lacking…?

Amit:

for Amit, it only felt natural to pick the two smartest, yet most anxious (bar Starflight) night-themed dragons there are; Moonwatcher and Clearsight.

Moonwatcher pops into my mind every time i think of Amit. they are both shy, but very smart, and studious. we see Amit does have a brave side, when him and MC take on the goblin mine for the drill blueprints. similarly, Moon literally helps defeat a genocidal maniac who is basically a god. they both sort of back out after that. not that they aren’t immensely helpful and important characters, but they have done their part and are… more than happy to take a less dangerous part in the journey.

Clearsight is smart. insanely smart. her unique foresight ability that allows her to see every possible future is very reminiscent to me of Amit and how he studies the stars. Darkstalker describes Clearsight’s mind as fascinating. she is always thinking and planning and worrying. that is literally Amit in a nutshell. boy can help but be anxious 24/7. in general, i think Amit would fit in with the pre-volcano pre-Darkstalker NightWings; studious, smart, always looking to the stars and moon… that’s just. him.

if you made it this far you’re literally amazing but also probably just as insane as me lmfao

Nishidake Household: Chapter 4, Part 3

Allie has lived a long life right by Charlie's side.

TW: Contains sim dog death, but no dead bodies

In this part Kaori finally has some time on the slopes and Charlie is working hard for her promotion. When Allie's time comes Charlie looks to those around her for comfort.

Charlie: I'm back! Don't worry, I saved enough energy for our walk

Allie: *barks*

Fair warning, this is Allie's last day.

As she and Charlie undertake their regular walk she treasures feeling the sun on her fur, the snow crunching under paw, and spending time with her favourite human being.

Kaori also pops home after her climbing session to check that Clover is doing okay. Then it's time for her favourite hobby, flying! At least, when she boards over a jump and is up, moving through the air, it feels a lot like flying. Whatever her future holds, she can't imagine ever stopping this.

Having maxed out the snowboarding skill can't guarantee success however and one run ends in a wipeout. She dusts off and carries on.

Charlie: Are you okay? I saw that you know

Kaori: I'm an adrenaline seeker Char, I don't mind some bumps

Allie: *barks*

Kaori: Well of course I don't mean to crash Allie

Charlie: Maybe we hit the snow a bit hard

Allie: *whines*

Charlie: Don't worry, a bath will clean you right up

Allie: *barks happily*

Charlie: Could you tell Clover baths are not deadly, I don't think she understands

Allie: *barks in agreement*

Charlie: That's my girl

Once the bath is done Charlie goes to tend the garden, and tenderise the faux meat wall. Kaori, having finished another snowboarding POV video, sets about fixing their dew collectors.

Allie: We need to talk about baths kid

Clover: I nearly died in mine

Allie: Baths can't kill you, just try relax

Kaori: Do we know if the spice festival is on this week yet

Charlie: Nah, high school events are clogging the calendar up

Kaori: I suppose it's more likely we'll have one in the future than never have one again

Charlie: I love how you always find a bright side

Kaori: You're my bright side

Charlie: So glad I found you

Kaori: You have homework

Charlie: Fudge I do. Can't I flirt a bit longer?

Kaori: Not if you want to stay employed

Charlie goes to study more opponents while Kaori sets about making more curry. I know pho is spicy but I'm not sure if it'll help in the spice challenge.

Allie: *barks hysterically*

Charlie: Is that the alarm bark, what's happening

Kaori: I just have to shift this pot

Charlie: Holy tomato is that fire???

Kaori: Just smoke right now

Charlie: Shouldn't we, I don't know, run and call the fire fighters

Kaori: Absolutely not

Charlie: What the duck

Kaori: I need to kick this fear of fire and this is my chance, can't let a firefighter stop me

Charlie: I know you're an adrenaline seeker but this is dangerous

Kaori: If you're worried get the dogs outside

Charlie: Why am I not routing to safety with the puppy???

Charlie: If they make us evacuate toddlers why not puppies? This is a massive oversight

Kaori takes a deep breath and begins to extinguish the fire. Part way through the smoke alarm finally starts up as the fire spreads to an adjoining counter

Fireman: Need a hand ladies

Kaori: Who called you

Fireman: It's automatic with the alarm

Kaori: Well I've taken care of it, and gotten over my fear of fire

Fireman: Just be careful next time you're cooking

Charlie: Are you implying we cook just because we're women

Fireman: The fire did start at the stove

Charlie: Oh, right, forgot that bit

Kaori: I'm sorry about that Al. Weren't you a good girl being the first to discover the fire

Allie: *barks happily*

Heading back inside Allie goes to check on Charlie. Charlie has gone back to studying opponents but is glad for a chatting buddy. Kaori also makes sure Clover is okay after the scare.

With her work task complete Charlie can spend sme time on her promotion task, raising her charisma. Sweet Allie never leaves her side as she practices. Before bed Charlie gives her a big hug and tells her she loves her. Kaori does the same.

In the early hours Allie crosses the rainbow bridge. In a heartwarming moment, as if sensing the Grim reaper has entered the room, Kaori tucks Charlie close to her right when Allie leaves. Goodbye Allie, I miss you already and I'm glad we have a photo wall.

That said, Olive and I have the honour of ferrying Allie to the timeless save. There she is pleased to see Geeta, Sachiko and Shigeru again. There not the only ones there for her though. She bounds happily over to her mum and two of her littermates who are waiting for her. She's at peace here now.

Back in the normal save Charlie is understandably devastated. She had Allie for half of her own life, and doesn't have many happy memories that don't include the dog.

Kaori: I'm so sorry Char

Charlie: She was old, I know that. She'll be happy now, I'm the one who has to adjust

Kaori: What can I do

Charlie: Nothing to be done

Kaori: Maybe you should have the day off work

Charlie: I can't Allie would want me to carry on

Kaori: Char, it's okay to take time to grieve, she was important

Charlie starts to answer but ends in tears.

Clover: *whines*

Charlie: Do you need a hug too? Mummy can do that

Unable to make herself deliver the news on the phone, Charlie and Kaori visit the Fosters.

Charlie: I'm so glad you're here

Kayleigh: What's wrong honey

Charlie: The watcher is the meanest person ever

Kayleigh: Come again

Charlie: Allie is gone. I've heard of life extension, why not for her

Kayleigh: If you believe in the watcher, you must believe they're the one who gave Allie to you in the first place

Charlie: So what

Kayleigh: So if they're the one who brought you two together, I doubt they would take her away to simply be mean

Charlie: But why not give her more time with me

Kayleigh: Dogs don't live as long as humans, you know that

Charlie: Well that sucks

Kayleigh: Yes, it does

...

Carson: We'll never see her again

Kaori: Not in this save

Harvey: She's in the timeless save now bud

Kaori: But we have our memories, and plenty of photos

Devin texts Charlie inviting her around so we go for a quick visit. Charlie and Kaori get to vent, cry and catch up on gossip. Me? I go and have a sneaky check up on the boys. They seem so be doing well. They babble to each other, watch the bigfoot toy with fascination and Rilian blows a raspberry!

Charlie: We woke up and she was gone

Keira: I can't believe it

Marta: I'm so sorry you two

Kaori: Thanks

Charlie: I got to go

Keira: Already?

Charlie: I have work

Charlie trudges off and a baffled Keira and Marta look at Kaori.

Kaori: She thinks Allie would want her to soldier on regardless

Marta: Grief can be blinding

Keira: I wish I could help

Kaori: Maybe you can

Keira: How

Kaori: Would you two consider coming and staying a few days

Keira: Absolutely! I'm between semesters

Marta: And the commute is just an illusion

Kaori: You sure you're not secretly studying philosophy

Kaori races home to do some cleaning, she is a neat sim after all. At 6 on the dot Keira and Marta arrive, suitcases in tow. Kaori welcomes them, moves their cases to the spare room, and hopes she has done the right thing for Charlie.
