the house is in a state of utter chaos; toys and clothes seem strewn upon most surfaces, while a line-up of food forms along the countertop - sandwiches and charcuterie boards, carefully curated for the day's honorees.
from the other room, ava and tim are arguing about whether frogs or toads are better. greed keeps his ears pricked in case the small quarrel turns into double tantrums, all while continuing to carefully cut the mangoes, strawberries and pineapples for their celebratory mother's day lunch.
he hears the patter of tiny feet, but they're quiet, so greed unwisely assumes that all is well.
"mama!" ava says, her voice pitched high with excitement. "we got you a present." she beams, a shoebox clasped between her hands. tim stands behind her, rocking on his heels, a tiny grin on his lips.
"we couldn't decide which one, so we got you ..." ava flings the box open with a flourish, and tim shrieks with delight as a frog throws itself from its cardboard prison and beside sakura on the couch.
more rustling from the box indicates the presence of the toad tim had so readily vouched for. already halfway into the living room to save sakura from their children's new, slimy friends, greed reminds himself to take izumi up on her offer to host mother's day next year.
/ @avadite
it's hard to be surprised anymore or at least, that's what she says when she's on the quick to anticipate the latest bout of mischief / the chaos and cacophony that seems to follow her children wherever they go. she's gotten placid, greedy in the illusion of her success; since she can't see the fires, she naively assumes she's stopped them all from coming. ( hasn't she learned better by now? )
greed makes more of an effort into mother's day than most men put into their entire marriages seems to take special delight in surprising her, as if that's not half the reason she fell in love with him. sakura herself had been shooed out of the kitchen, and there were fresh flowers in a vase on the table, and her sweet, beautiful, nefarious children were arguing the finer points of amphibian life styles, complete with a shoebox that was being held with care ( that should have been her first clue. )
she'd been reading through winry's letter, smiling at the news of ed's newest published paper, when she got her comeuppance. ava had sounded so gleeful, so absolutely delighted, and tim had appeared so angelic, and she'd been lured into a false sense of calm / of confidence. fool! her stubborn will and greed's defiant nature ( alongside his propensity to launch himself off giant buildings to make an entrance ): what sort of mixture could anyone expect from that but pandemonium?
the frog leaps; one graceful arch into the air, and a firm plop on the spot next to her, a reproachful croak for the inconvenience of captivity. she barely has time to squawk in surprise before a far larger addition joins her: a massive toad, less inclined to grace and more of the attitude of getting the hell out of there. muddy water drips from both creatures onto the couch, and her own leg kicks out in unexpected shock as the toad leaps back towards her, missing her chest by an inch. the tea on the table she ( painfully ) kicks sloshes out past the rim as the two creatures take off, and both ava and tim are yelling whether in encouragement for the havoc, or dismay that their hopeful new additions aren't cooperating, she isn't sure. ignoring the sizable bruise growing on her shin, sakura dives for the frog; nightmares of tadpoles in the creamer give her a least some semblance of a grip, and she stuffs the poor creature unceremoniously back into the shoebox, at the exact moment greed bursts into the room.
the toad has settled, furiously, on the top shelf of the bookcase; ava has scaled halfway up the side, her pigtails in disarray as she goes. tim has attempted to hastily mop up the spilt tea with his shirt, of which he was still wearing; the frog, his freedom denied once more, bellows inside his prison. it has taken, sakura notes, thirty seconds exactly, for calm to turn into a small siege.
slowly, she rises to her feet / hands clutched tight around the shoebox. the room quiets, as if in breathless anticipation for her next few words. the toad, belligerent, croaks.
❝ these are such lovely gifts, ❞ she begins ( ava, still halfway up the bookcase, beams. ) ❝ and i couldn't possibly deserve something so sweet. maybe next year, my darlings ... just a card? ❞

hi there ~ thank you for reading these rules and coming to see my blog!
― My name is COSMOS ( they/them ), I am 32 and I work fulltime from home, on art commissions, as well as on twitch! You can watch me draw or play games with me here if you like, but you’re not obligated to.

Ami Mizuno’s age ranges from 14 - 22 throughout the series. My Main Verse will take place just after the final arc. Ami will be a 19 year old woman. I will only ship with muses who are over 18 in my main verse. Like I’ve said before, shipping isn’t the focus of this blog and Ami is not the sort of person to actively seek out romance, but if it should happen these are my rules! I only ship with people who actively show interest in my blog and seek to establish friendships before talks of shipping happens.
Of course, I am up for threads in previous arcs and will be tailoring them to my own personal canon for this blog and future threads. There is also a college verse and a Doctor verse I will be working on, Ami will be well over the age of 22 up to at least 30. If you have issue with this kind of aging up then you’re free to follow someone else!
I NEED mentions of rape to be tagged. It’s a very extreme trigger for me and I will hardblock if I see it. I takes lots of precautions for my experience on tumblr, so it’d be very nice if you did this for me!

@avadite asked: [ play ] muses play a board game / card game together
nonverbal meme prompts || [ no longer accepting! ]
[ play ] muses play a board game / card game together
▐│∶x∶; — it’s been five minutes. which doesn’t sound long--and it isn’t, not in the grand scheme of things--but, boy, is it a long time in a game of jenga.
dolcetto exhales, the breath hissing over his hand as he leans a forearm over one knee and stares hard across the coffee table. greed’s hand keeps hovering close to a few center blocks, only to pull away moments before he touches ones.
❛ ...continue movin’ at a snail’s pace, boss, ❜
dol mutters into his palm.
❛ you know how that thrills me. ❜
greed looks up at him, scowling. “shut up, dol. you haven’t made this easy on me.”
❛ y’told me not to hold back. ❜
“yeah, well, that was before i remembered you guys used to play this shitty game down in the storage space every other night.”
it’s a bittersweet remark. despite the tinge of pain it stirs up in his chest, dol fondly remembers vi and gills returning from the underground with several rocks and loose bricks they’d collected. a bit of tumbling, smoothing, and they’d homebrewed their own set of blocks. they were pretty wonky--uneven--and sometimes misshapen enough that pulling the wrong one at the wrong time collapsed the tower when it shouldn’t have. but that just made it all the more tricky and fun, and provided all the more bragging rights when you did win or pull off a clever move.
blondie had been surprisingly shrewd when it came to his moves. they were all perfectly within the established ‘rule book’, but just outside the box enough to take everyone by surprise. the hand is quicker than the eye, as the saying went.
greed’s brows furrow as he pokes the tips of his pointer fingers together right in front of his nose. there’s a plan forming. and dol knows it’s clicked by the sudden gleam in the man’s eyes, and that tell-tale way his mouth curves into a grin. greed reaches around to the opposite side of the tower and, so carefully, pulls loose a block. the tower sways a bit, but it doesn’t tumble.
“HA!” greed laughs, and he places the block on the top. “your turn, hot shot.”
dolcetto blinks. and he reaches to the other side of the table where they’d set their dinner plates aside. he takes the knife from the cluster of silverware and places it flat about a foot adjacent to the tower. slides it back with his fingertips.
and in one sharp, swift motion, sweeps it across the table to collide with the single block at the bottom of the tower. the block flies across the room, and the tower drops. so sudden and blunt enough that it only wobbles a bit and settles into place.
the stunned look on greed’s face was priceless. dol imagines there must be some irony or a joke to be made on that somewhere, but he can’t think of it. not right now.
for a few seconds the only sound in the room is the clatter of the removed block bouncing across the floor, before it’s abruptly ended by an eruption of furious exclamations and loud laughter.

“why would you ask me that, honey?” / @avadite & prompt.
her shoulders hunch annoyance rising at the smirking / smug-faced sentiment, the way he drawls the word like a caress. lounging back against his chair, feet kicked up atop his desk: he’s the picture of confidence and sensuality, confident arrogance and serene immaturity. shutting the door behind her, she catches the way his eyebrow arches; the smirk becomes a shark-toothed grin, certain he’s about to get a meal worth devouring. ( it’s just business, after all: two people, with a need, and nothing more. and it won’t be happening again! )
❝ asking you if you have plans is not out of the ordinary. ❞ hands clasped demurely behind her back, she’s the picture of innocence ( but for the slight arch to her chest; she needs to stretch, obviously. ) ❝ if i need to look in on the chimeras, it’ll be easier to tell you how they are if you’re around. ❞ a lie she’s had no problems writing a note in the past / checking in on her half-human charges during daylight hours. a lie, and she knows he’ll catch her out: knows he knows her better, knows that her visits are becoming longer, becoming more frequent. looks him in the eye, and lies to him, and means: can you make some time for me again.
❝ i’ll let you get back to ... ❞ a vague hand-gesture, her own eyebrow arching in response ( they’re not themselves if they’re not bickering, even with a sense of vulnerability on the line. ) ❝ your ... work. ❞ half a moment, to feel unresolved: the dress that skims a bit too high, the look she shoots that’s not quite so keen on departure. all the same, she reaches for the door, determined not to let greed see her falter. ❝ and don’t call me honey. ❞

Five Word Prompts | Accepting
From @avadite sent: // “fuck’s sake, what’s your problem?”
“ Problem...? ”
From the start, he didn’t seem like his other siblings. Was that because he was built from a humans’ body? Did some of that humanity still fester within him, to cause this reaction at her work? Yes, now that you look around it is obviously not the kind of sight you would want anyone else to be looking at. Gruesome and unkind. The others were always so imperturbable or even giddy at it all - not him.
How very curious.
“ Hmm. You don’t delight in the same sorts of things as your siblings, do you? No ... you’ve been making the same face since you got in here. ”

@avadite: what items can be found in your muse’s pockets? ; verbal or non - verbal communication. ; something your muse could never forgive. (for roy!)
Character Headcanons | Currently accepting.
what items can be found in your muse’s pockets?
His State Alchemist pocket watch
His wallet. How much money he carries with him varies week by week, but he usually doesn’t have much on him.
At least one spare pair of his gloves.
One or two small notebooks. He carries his alchemy journal wherever he goes, and tries to keep another one for notes.
A pen or two.
His checkbook (only if he’s not carrying much on him, or otherwise knows he’ll need it).
This is provided he’s wearing his coat. If he’s not, he’ll limit what he carries to his pocket watch, wallet, and gloves.
verbal or non - verbal communication.
It depends on who he’s communicating with. With Hawkeye, and just about everyone on his team, he goes for nonverbal communication. He’ll rely on using his eyes to indicate something, or subtle body language. If he doesn’t know a person well, or knows they need to hear or see him speak, he opts for verbally communicating with them.
something your muse could never forgive.
It may come as a surprise, but Roy is incredibly forgiving. He may take a while to get to that point, but he almost always forgives everyone. Change takes time, and he knows it can be a slow process. The only person that doesn’t tend to apply to is himself.
Hurting someone he cares about? “It’s not my place to forgive you. Do it again, though, and you’ll have to deal with me.” Hurting him? Depends on the reason, and if he thinks it’s justified--he knows when he’s earned it. In both cases, he’ll hold a bit of a grudge, but, eventually, he’ll move past it--with the former, he bases his reaction on the person actually hurt.
Killing someone he cares about? That’s where he draws the line. He won’t forgive for that. Try to kill him all you want. He may forgive you for that depending on your reasoning. But, those he cares about? He won’t forgive, and he’ll come after you himself.

♪♫ ░ : ❦ ; — how the sorrow flows... she can feel it in the air as he passes, cold as a mountain river. there're bags beneath those eyes and blood long washed from his hands; strain in places he'd never known ( or maybe had known, once in another life ).
though his grief is not alone on the air this afternoon, she can feel it's raw. something painful and pushed away--desperate to forget again, yet guilty for even desiring such release. they claim themselves more complicated than humans... perhaps, in some ways. to house so many souls yet refuse their sadness and pain. what a burden.
she approaches as most would--silent, drifting to fall into step at his side.
❛ your tattoo, ❜
her voice is soft, to lessen the startle. and she gestures to his hand.
❛ it's quite beautiful. ❜

the hand on her waist is damp with the condensation from his beer glass / uncomfortably warm despite the temperature of his drink. it’s hard enough to indicate no accidental grazing ( not that she’d ever let that be forgiven, either. ) the bar is ruckus with music and laughter, the rough and rumble of a crowd not exactly welcome in high society; even half an hour inside, she can’t figure out if the place is cutthroat, or merely lively.
it had been close to two months since she’d opened the clinic / six since she’d moved to dublith. in all that time, she’d hardly ventured past the local market, the hospital, the contractor; exploring hadn’t been high on her list, and her school friends in the area had seen a few hours of her at most, snatched over weeks of work. they’d succeeded at last in dragging her out after a particularly delightful day no new cases of sickness or injury / the medicine cabinet full / her rent paid with a little left over. the bar chosen had been, in their own words, dodgy, but the drinks were strong and the music was good, and it hadn’t taken much further needling to get her to agree.
she had arrived early ( a full hour early, as she’d find out later ) but that was fine; it gave her a chance to take in the atmosphere / register the clientele. there were familiar faces scattered about, vaguely registering as prior patients or townspeople she’d seen out and about, but most were unknown to her. a large couch dominated the left side of the room, and a bevy of women her mother would have disdained as loose were giggling on the leather seating. it was a marvel they weren’t freezing, actually, considering they were dressed in scraps of cloth that stretched the definition of clothing; sakura spent several moments observing them, dismayed at the small pit of envy deep in her chest. they looked so ... carefree. not a real worry in the world.
of course, while she was distracted, the man with the sense of entitlement had decided to slip his palm across her waist; then, outrageously, he had dipped his fingers under the hem of her skirt, and went to cop a feel.
she had meant to slap him, and a good portion of her palm had landed on his cheek; the problem was that her fist had apparently decided to form halfway through, and she ended up slugging him to his knees. there was an ache in her wrist from the poorly executed punch, but she paid little mind to that when her unwanted companion stumbled backwards the music continued and most of the patrons were ignoring the fracas, but more than a few were watching, and her entire back was prickling with the sudden terror of being in danger.
❝ pervert! what the hell do you think you’re doing?! keep your hands to yourself !!! ❞

@avadite said:🌻| send the flower for me to talk about anything i heckin’ want, y’all!
riza has chronic insomnia since returning from ishval as one of her major symptoms of ptsd. it often takes her a long time to fall asleep, and she is usually only able to sleep steadily for 2-3 hours before awakening and having to try to fall back asleep and hopefully get another 3 hours in. usual disruptions are due to her being a light sleeper and ready to spring awake at a moment’s notice, but also abstract nightmares revolving around the horrors of war.
she tries her best to find tangible methods to decrease the symptoms, but due to her level of ptsd they are not cures. she makes sure she gets regular exercise, keeping a consistent schedule (as much as she can for an occupation that often requires late nights and consecutive early mornings), avoiding relying on alcohol, and keeping hayate at her side.
she would argue hayate being a part of her life...substantially eased the symptoms more than any of the others have. they’ve made a difference, but there is no way to completely cure them.
not only is he adorable and a loyal heckin’ boy, but for those nights where she feels alone and is spiraling after a particularly jarring nightmare, he is quick to ease her fears and bring her back down to earth. when she experiences her nightmares, she often awakens disoriented and scared. just hearing his whine or feeling his fur as he presses against her hand is enough to ground her despite it all.

★ | @avadite - continued from here
【 ☆ 】Life had not been kind to Noctus since his days in Dublith. Spared the slaughter of the raid, he’d escaped into solitude in order to survive. Having found a decrepit house beyond the fringes of the town in a twist of fate. It had needed some serious work be serviceable, but the alchemist made do. What he couldn’t fix with his hands he fixed with alchemy. What he couldn’t fix with alchemy... well, he hoped it wasn’t too important.
But fixing a leaking roof and a busted door didn’t provide anything in the way of food. Something which had forced Noctus to return to town, risking rumours, as he stole what he needed. Noctus was smart though. He took more than just mere supplies, securing himself a means to live self-sustained on his own. It surprised him how much he’d actually remembered of the scraps of knowledge Dolcetto had dropped about life on the farm. Little things, about the texture and colour of the soil that had helped the vines of the tomato plant out back to grow as large as it had.
Noctus had felt the presence sooner than it had stepped onto the slanted porch. It had him hurry to the door, chalk ready, as he drew an array on the wall just adjacent. Not that he’d figured impaling one of their kind would do much good, though it would buy him a few precious seconds to try and escape when the time came. He’d not meant to call out through the door at all, but he’d been startled.
Brows shot upright at the sound of his name on the other side of the door. The voice wasn’t familiar despite sounding as surprised as he was. Greed? Was it really? It’s tone hadn’t been quite right, though the manner of speech sounded on the money. Yet even the iconic presence he’d since grown used to felt somewhat different. The whole thing echoing a similar sentiment; familiar, yet not.
Noctus swallowed, pulse racing. ❝ How did I have my drink at the bar? ❞ It’s a trick question, one Noctus knew that not even some of the old gang would know. Only Greed and Dolcetto had been able to nudge Noctus upstairs to the bar for anything more than chores and errands.

“ hey! eyes down here, geezer! ”
a morsel of a voice squalls from a morsel of a body, beckoning
to the homunculus towering over them. so to better seize his
attention, envy scurries about in lopsided circles.
fatigue settles in an embarrassingly short span of time, causing
all eight of envy’s legs to deflate before fully giving out. they
plummet to the ground in a pathetic heap. “ so, do you think you
could help me up, or are you just gonna twiddle your thumbs all day? ”
