Hunter The Parenting plot thoughts (because I love mysteries and roleplaying and I keep waking up at 2am Thinking About This Plot).

Things that seem important (in various nonspecific order, though somewhat from timeline of video):

Giles is a better fighter than his mates, actually showing some skill (compared to Simon's existence as a wet towel and Brok's brute force)

Harry's focus on Highland Legend seems a bit at odds with his muscles being 'just for lifting things', given the link in pop culture with Highlanders being warriors who fight to be the only one. Still, there's more to study beyond the Hollywood thoughts, and I'm very curious to see what Scottish myths get brought up (if any). He also has access to Storage and Security.

Followup thought: if all the characters are in the World of Darkness (specifically The Reckoning/Vigil), then perhaps each staff and student's respective areas of study reference specifically to one of the games. Fatigue with The Apocalypse/Forsaken, Elise with The Dreaming/Lost (Lost seeming more appropriate because 'I haven't found a single fairy'), and so on. Horse's prophecy referenced 'kine, kindred, garou, milklings, elohim', so that's Hunter, Vampire, Werewolf, Changeling and Demons specifically mentioned. Would Harry's 'highlander studies' be on Mages or Prometheans? Will we see Wraiths/Geists, now or in the future?

Elise does not have access to Storage and Security. Also, I will respect her pronouns at all costs.

The Doctor - Scholar of Psychotronic Studies - the has taken at least two bumps over the course of the night (visible residue on her face at Occam's collapse and just before Brok kicks the door down). You can't show any withdrawal symptoms if you're high on something else (though as Chapman mentioned, even high-level drugs 'don't even compare', but it might take the edge off for a while). Considering her academic focus, she might have been able to make herself a Very Powerful Cocaine. (Actually no 'psychotronic' refers to low-budget movies so WHAT??)

Lord Fatigue - of Lycantropy (not Lycanthropy? A typo, or something else?) - I saw someone posting about him being quickest to recognise the symptoms of someone going through a change, and I highly agree. He's also a lovely old man ('toffee pud', wreathed in golden light from the Archives, etc) so maybe he just doesn't want to see anyone suffer? Kindness often gets punished in WoD games.

Brok is sitting on a different chair. His mother's chair follows him everywhere he goes, does it?

I'm calling it, Chekov's M60s Mounted On A Bus. BUT. Not for this particular arc.

If there are keys to steal, in order to get into the Archives, they would be taken from Occam, Blacklaw, Dr Waters, or Lord Fatigue.

There are no other entryways to the Archives but there may be passages around, beneath, or above the Archives. Walls thin enough to use Vampire Magic through?

Giles knows that Spit is out of Ritalin, which serves as an explanation for Spit's symptoms and proof that the guys keep an eye out for each other.

Spit seems to be the biggest red herring. Something is very wrong with him but it isn't being Ghouled (and it isn't just something that can be managed with Ritalin). Still, when he gives his blood sample, he doesn't give two drops: he hides out of sight and only delivers a blood-smeared chalice. We don't see him giving blood, and the sample is darker than the rest. Older blood? Stored and poured?

It's Elise that pickpockets Giles of all his worldly possessions (while Spit is being consoled by Fatigue). She even takes one of the smokes for herself, having it in her mouth at the top of the stairs and then as she descends. So, then, she handed the smokes over to Olivia at some point. Maybe when Elise was 'looking for Grimal at the time'. A gift? A trade?

At some point after the 'I said FOLLOW MY LEAD' fight, Blacklaw and Brok work to get the Cold Tessellation out of the wall. Where the hell did D go (and why is it under the stairs, digging through old newpapers). How did he get out of that fight?

Grimal is in the Security Room, crying, when Occam is attacked. Could she have seen who attacked Occam, or did she miss it because of her tears? ('Noises of insecurity' in the Security room is pretty funny, I'm sorry.) HOWEVER. Grimal does NOT have access to Security, according to her chapter card... but Elise did steal Giles' keys, so perhaps Elise let Grimal into the Security room? Now the question is, was the door locked behind her? Did Elise leave other doors unlocked as well?

Spit says he knows where Giles' things are. How? A good nose for it? Or just an excuse to get out of the room (where a lot of dead animals are)? He then goes... downstairs, to the Music room. Lord Fatigue says he will go look for Spit, but goes upstairs to the Staff Break Room instead, diagonally above Occam. The minimap shows Spit stressed, Occam tense/in pain, and Fatigue with... the same facial expression. Is Giles doing something to the blood? Is Fatigue doing something to the blood? Is there some direct line of connection between the three? Is there really only one way into the Archives, or is there a way up from below, or down from above? The placement of Spit and Fatigue on the minimap feels incredibly important to figuring out who attacked Occam (even if that doesn't have anything to do with the ghoul).

Elise is in the middle of taking her ponytail out when Kitten returns from his pacing and fuming and brief stop in the kitchen. As a ponytail haver, the decision to NOT undo the hair after starting to do so is significant. But then again, maybe giving her a different animation model wasn't in the cards for the episode. (She's hot enough already idk).

There are large claw marks on a lot of walls and doors in the Chapter House…

There are 15 people in the Chapter House, but 16 cups are strewn about when Occam is found. All 16 cups are bloody. Someone else is present? Someone left an extra cup, some extra blood?

Kitten is focusing on 'who could have attacked Occam as we were leaving' but is that really the timing of the attack?

'Your papa could never take a punch like that' says the man who has been fighting Blacklaw all evening. Playfighting? They've been playfighting this whole time? Yet the man can handle a bottle being thrown at him by Marckus, so he at least has some grit.

"Look. It's the same. Indisputable." So if Blacklaw cannot tell the difference between 'a bleak British man and a middle-eastern meat-slab', either his eyesight is shitty and thus he cannot be trusted to give any trustworthy visual evidence, OR, he hasn't looked at D in actual decades because D is the Devil and must not be observed directly. Which is kinda countered by how often they face off and glare at each other, so.

Other things that might be of note and/or are things I noticed:

Amanda's blue gloves - does she have a latex allergy? Or does the Arcanum not provide boxes of disposable gloves for the staff and they have to just make do with one set each? As someone who worked back of house in hospitality, this seems... bad.

Both Blacklaw and D have yellow and black as a major colour to their outfits, but inverse to each other (jacket and tank top vs jacket and vest). IDK maybe that's something worth noting, or it shows how more alike than they like to admit.

Hardcore Kitten steadying inhale in front of the portrait of the dead knight made me think to how TTS ended... Then again, the man out here killed a vampire with a shove and an iron fence while being badly hurt so like. Man's badass enough on his own.

Git works with the Lady Regent's favourite daughter. Could Poly have slipped him something, made him a ghoul without his knowledge? Man can reverse-drink a beer but his favourite food being available at his place of work could lend itself to some Manager-induced tampering of the safety seals.

Kevin was invited to the 'funny phrenology library' but decided to stay in the basement. He might have recognised the ghoul right away. He also might have gotten D's family Blood Hunted AND targetted by the Coalition, if that were the case. For reasons of safety first, comedy second and plot third, Kevin stays at home.

Hey uh what's the Penis Explosion Room on the mini map and why is it Elite Access and also why is it there and why is there no doorway to it and also what

Harry being able to get dressed very quickly between listening in at the door and then D showing up with the keys. I know he doesn't really do Anime but I feel like that must have been a magical girl transformation somehow (/j)

Guy Chapman might be the most dangerous ghoul at the moment: 'sharpened senses, inhuman strength, even the power to bend minds' He did drink the blood of Kevin, a Vampire Wizard. I'm thinking about Marckus' night pubbing, and how Chapman heard the beginning of the vampire talk, as well as the fact that Brok's first and second knife broke dramatically. The cop did it, with his new vampire magic.

The portrait on the wall (when Elise is doing D's hair) - baby Occam is adorable, I'm sorry his mother is a Blacklaw but she seems far more hinged than Remold, is baby Brok okay, is Brok's mother the blonde woman from the interrogation room - if so who is the woman standing with Blacklaw? And the slacker behind her? A Blacklaw Family Drama photo, I'm very pleased.

'Amanda never sweats, she's lower class' I've never seen a Rich Bastard in media who thinks this, this is fascinating. Normally it's 'sweating is for the lower classes' but here we are in the reverse. Does Blacklaw think the 'lower class' are literal automatons or

Fatigue dies in the room where his younger Hunter self is immortalised in a portrait on the wall. Taller, younger, still with the same glasses, nose, and ears. Just how old is he?

Side note: 'did anyone find out if Mummies are real yet' - yes, Marckus, they did, in The Resurrection/Curse. You were right.

[st-va]

The latest Hunter: the parenting ep was so fucking cool, i think I was watching it for 2/2.5 hours with a friend cause we were analysing it so much. Forgetting the plot and all the amazing lore jam-packed into that ep, the ANIMATION? Holy shit! I didn't know that it could get better AND keep its quirkiness!

Who is the Ghoul analysis after the cut!

Okay so there are two forces at play in that house, throughout the whole episode there are hints of a werewolf - in the first room, that is the dinning room, there is a wardrobe that has scratch marks and the door underneath the first floor stairs(the one that big D came through) ALSO has them. Oh, it's also a FULL MOON.

Now, the ghoul and the warewolf could be working independently, completely unaware of eachother, but it is my theory that the warewolf is Matilda and the ghoul is Amanda.

There is a little time jump that skipped some interactions. After Elise stole the smokes and keys (staff access) from Giles, she must have given them to Grim. She, in turn, went to the Security room through the vents (she was said to be good at going through them and they said that the security room is the most ventilated room). In the map it is said that Matilda came to the kitchen from the security room and she has acquired Giles' smokes, meaning that she prob caught Grim sneaking and Grim gave her his smokes in exchange for silence.

Why was Matilda going to the Security Room? And moreover, when Kitten came to the kitchen Amanda said that they could let him in to the Security room (Matilda being against the idea). When the topic of the Hunting came around, neither of them really looked scared. Amanda was just standing there, looking a bit sad or maybe disapprovingly at Matilda, and Matilda was a bit disgruntled, but nothing more really.

Matilda also brought out the subject of "Is the Ghoul really that bad?", which is honestly sending red flags all around for me, to be honest. Sure, she might genuinely be afraid and is trying to be strong, but, honestly? She looked sad.

I honestly do not know how Matilda would have gotten access to the Archives. She couldn't have stolen Remoud's keys cause D stole them seconds before unlocking the door, sure as hell couldn't have stolen Occam's so that leaves Lord Fatigue and the doctor.

Lord Fatigue was with the boys and there was such a small window of opportunity to yoink the keys that it seems impossible, but the doctor is the other option and she hasn't gotten that much screen time, plus it would make sense to get rid of the Lord later. So I'm sticking with Lord Fatigue being the one who got mugged. Again, this part of my theory is very loose, I couldn't find any evidence.

I want to call attention to how fucking furious Matilda looked after they found Occam incapacitated.

I don't think that is the face someone being sad that her employer is knocked down a peg and won't be able to pay her on time hhh. Amanda's expression is on point, she looks terrified but I will choose to believe that she is seeing the consequences of her friend's actions, in order to help her. Remember, Amanda is the Ghoul and Matilda the Warewolf.

Matilda's expression could also be a symptom of a withdrawal. Now, I will be honest. I know the bare minimum of the lore surrounding Vampire: The Masquerade and my friend couldn't find the exact thing that happens to warewolves during a full moon in this setting, so I'm basing this on pure speculation, but she could be trying to refrain from transmutating and, without her smokes, that could be more of a mental feat.

Moving on, the most damning information that we got out of the episode was after Amanda was fried, she said Baba Yaga. Holy fuck. With how the Arcanum is, there is no way in hell they would let the "Help" know of such a powerful vampire. I really couldn't think of another way she would acquire this knowledge if she isnt connected to the Masquerade in any way.

When the gang went to the pub, Matilda looked tilted as all hell.

The Ghoul is currently incapacitated, there's no way in hell that Amanda did this. This kill was the work of the Warewolf, with how fucking violent it was. Connecting this with my previous conjecture that Lord Fatigue was the one that got his keys stolen, he is a fucking Lycanthropy professor! I think, in Matilda's eyes, he was a threat and she wanted to get rid of him because it was only a matter of time before he found out. Plus, she had to turn at some point and she would have already been furious that they have been torturing her friend.

It was a golden opportunity as well. From the beginning of the episode, we know that Spit has been experiencing Delirium, the fear that comes with seeing the supernatural and that fear is accompanied with memory loss of the actual event. Git was locked in the bathroom and so Matilda could go ham on taking her rage out on Lord Fatigue.

Whoo! This has been a long one, lastly I want to point out some small things that I appreciated.

Big D going into the Harry Potter room in order to investigate the claw marks.

Marcus and Harry being complete bros and going to lift instead of dealing with an emotion situation.

Boy

Brock not sitting down when they were all gathered in the Dining room at the beginning and later saying that his kneecaps were flattened.

D's booty shorts

Honestly, this series is amazing, I don't think I've ever watched something this high quality with this much love, thought and humanity being put behind it. The work that Alfabusa and the gang are putting into making every single frame a banger is phenomenal! I really do not understand how they keep on improving.

What did you guys think? Am I mentally deranged, or am I and my friend onto something? Please tell me what you think of my lil Game Theory and if I missed anything!

Once upon a time, this was Sandra.

And thanks to having posted my way through her entire design process throughout 2020, I have pretty much all stages that lead from this, to her current incarnation.

...which is this:

I actually started drawing the first image around 2018-2019. This was at the height of my dry spell, art wise, wherein I was maybe churning out a sketch a month at most for several years.

As a result, my skills weren't quite up to the challenge I was making for myself: how to make a werewolf that is a) aesthetic, b) monstrous, c) still human without losing bestial qualities and, similarly, d) without just looking like Some Furry.

I kept trying, though, and in 2020, started work on an illustration that tracks an entire chunk of the design process.

I say 'started,' but in this case I mean 'continued.' The underlying sketch was one of the 'one a month' ones I mentioned before. It was also much more tuned to how I was picturing her in her WtA incarnation.

It took hours of struggling with her face and pose to even get it this far, and by the time I got to this point, I was well and truly frustrated. Worse, I still didn't like her design. I didn't hate it, mind, but I wasn't entirely sold on it, either.

Still, I could at least try and salvage the image itself.

The sketch, I ended up liking (and still do, tbh). I struggled with some attempts to color it quickly and, ultimately, set it aside again. Then I got my Huion, and started futzing with it at work.

That's when I tried something a lil different.

I always liked the kind of uncanny mix of human/wolf features on a face, and wanted to play with that a bit, but once again found myself running afoul of skills I hadn't built up yet. I needed to find a design that I could do consistently, that wouldn't frustrate me so much.

So, this more primate-like face eventually became something a little more wolfish.

I still wasn't happy with it. The monstrousness was starting to vanish into this 'basically a furry' look again. So I did a pass while looking at design elements from the Cabin in the Woods werewolf.

Better!

Except, again, missing out on elements of her human face, and I want her to be recognizable regardless of what form she's in.

Better than nothing, though, so I hash out a sketch I intended to use for a model sheet.

Then I got to thinking: I like the look of incomplete pelts on werewolves. What if I played around with that?

So-- I did.

This is the first real appearance of what she'd eventually become, and even then, subsequent sketches were still lacking elements that make up what her design is presently.

That was its own work in progress, which eventually became:

The rest of the finessing, I did over that year's October art challenge, and eventually landed on the design we have now, which, honestly?

I like a lot. I'm very happy with how she turned out, and I'm glad I accidentally documented the entire process from start to finish.

Mera, Captain, Laddie, Chap, Chum, You Majestical Swede I am living for your IBWR lore on vampires. I love tidbits on biology and quirks of fictional species, especially when it's given more unusual and creative twists. My investment in your comic has begun to peak, I am precariously standing at the edge of a new hyperfixation and you are daring to push me in with your art and lore. l'II be looking forward to seeing Ollie's lil quirks and other bits of the charming world that lives in your head. Also feasting on your TOH bits, as a lore enthusiast your rambles are so very enjoyable and your connection board is so relatable. A bit curious what hexsquad would be like in the world of IBWR or what peculiars/witches/regulars they'd be. So very glad I clambered onto this ship of yours and get to see some of the bits and bobs going on in your brain- I adore the way you think. Sorry if this was a bit long, I hope you're doing well and will feel better, whatever it may be from <3

*squeaky scream* thank you anon! ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚ <333333

I am having a lot of fun making my story! BWR is only in the baby phases! There's so much fun about this world and it's people, culture and history, that I'm so excited to share with everyone who reads!! :'D <3

IBWR has everything I personally enjoy in a story! This means a lot to me, it's my passion project (and hyperfixation of my own creation) for a reason.

Here's a doodle of Oliver and his buddy Sebastian :)

As for who the hexsquad would be in IBWR! HMMM! :D

HEXSQUAD IBWR AU:

Luz would be someone with a weak fylgja who wants to be a witch anyway! And she'd join a coven to try pursue it. For her, I think her story would be about learning that magic isn't as beautiful as she had hoped, and joins another coven that doesn't do the traditional ways of things. Or perhaps she starts her own.. ;)

Hunter would be a werewolf! :D A beast-type peculiar.

Gus and Willow would be Fae-types. Gus a spriggan, Willow a fairy.

Green fairies "flaws" are envy, I think I could make that work for her! Otherwise I'd put her as a red fairy, the flaw would then be rage. Willow's "fairy gift" would be plants and working with gardening.

Amity would be a regular, I think. Perhaps a wealthy girl who finds herself quietly rebelling against her parents by going with her older siblings to women's rights activism stuff! Possibly that's where she meets Luz! :O

Gus being a Spriggan would mean he's a natural showman, as they're known for their mischievous nature and charisma. I think he'd work in a music hall! :D

Vee would be a fae-type too! But she would be a Huldra/Nymph (skogsrå in swedish). Meaning she can shapeshift into people still! So that fits best.

For IBWR, I take a lot of folklore and put a spin on them with my own interpretations! :)

I like playing with the idea that the folklore and fairy tales are based in half-truths. It's a lot of fun and I've put a lot of thought into it so that they make sense into the world I've built. :D

#ibwr #in blood we rise #ibwr hexsquad au

[loquaciousquark]

So I stayed up ungodly late last night playing through the Cazador quest/conclusion (?) of the Astarion romance and I have a lot of thoughts!

Overall, I LOVED it. Absolutely loved it. I love how much he has to say about the mansion, I love the design and weirdly oppressive layout of the space, the sinister door, the annoying button/attic puzzle, his relationship with Go...dey? The bone man! When I saw that room was called the kennel I literally said "oh no" out loud.

The one thing I'm mad at myself about is that I didn't understand how to actually get into the stupid palace to start the quest! I couldn't get up that dirt incline right next to the map marker so I thought I had to get into the upper city via Baldur's Gate on the left--that the palace was in the next area altogether--so I've been dithering about with murderers and Lae'zel getting kidnapped (D:! she's safe now though) and hag children and a million other things WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLING CAZADOR THIS WHOLE TIME. Harrumph.

Anyway, once I actually made it into the darned palace, I didn't have any trouble at all with the fights until I got to Cazador himself. I did think the ritual skull on the pillow was a nice touch, and I loved the confrontation with Sebastian in the cell, just in case the PC has any doubt left about how sane/human these spawn still are. Seven thousand souls! That's so many!! Seven is a lot, but seven thousand, yikes! There was also one room with some levers at the end of the tedious attic puzzle that appeared to have no purpose; I guess it was unfinished from the design stage, as dozens of Reddit threads/forum posts all agree there's no clear puzzle solution or interactable element. Really, the first design misstep I've seen from the game, and even that was pretty minor!

Then came the confrontation with Cazador, and for all I didn't even get touched in the werewolf fight earlier this fight WRECKED me. I didn't understand the mechanic and got everyone sacrificed for the ritual the first time (was focusing on the adds first), and then the second time I checked the journal and it said "Help Astarion" and so I wasted two turns getting to him only to discover they meant "help Astarion by killing Cazador," not "free Astarion with the Help action" because that sure didn't work, so he got sacrificed again! Then the third time I focused Cazador better until he Called Lightning on Shadowheart and Karlach and killed them both, and then I finally scraped it out on the fourth try. A really, really tough fight! If I didn't have the six summoned ghouls from the Thay book I don't know if I could have done it with this party.

The choices available afterwards are FASCINATING. I played through them all again, and I loved that in every version he absolutely butchers that vamp with as much violent stabbing as I've seen in a video game. And that little flip of the knife to the reverse grip! So deft! He's a rogue! It's like there's thought and care behind these animations!! Incredible! The choices where you don't help him are absolutely awful--the enraged venom in "I'd say good luck out there, but honestly, I hope you die screaming"--and the flat "Your companion has permanently left the party" made my stomach clench. The version where you help him ascend is also horrifying; are there many other quests where both companions are like, "this is a HORRIBLE IDEA, don't do this!!"? And afterwards Karlach said something about "all those souls..." and she looked like she was about to cry, which was the second worst thing in the world aside from the time I had to break up with her because I didn't realize we were dating. Everything is red and evil and we get nice close-up views of the spawn in agony and bursting and then Astarion's eyes glow red as sin forever. I did really like the explicit confirmation that the infected can use the parasites to see out of each other's eyes; that's given me a couple fic ideas already!

I will say the scene of him crying & screaming was unspeakably cathartic and I was yelling at the screen to let me hug him. YELLING. Thank God I live alone! Again, the tenor differences between this scene in the "insight/persuade him to be better than Cazador" track vs. the "flatly deny to help him" track were shocking. I can't believe how different the exact same animation set felt between the two versions! Unbearable relief & grief vs. total impotent despair--no wonder he tries to kill you in a few of the bad endings (on top of deciding on his own to snap the staff & trap the spawn forever).

Regardless, once the ritual was disrupted and the spawn were saved and freed and Cazador was a lolling pincushion, I couldn't figure out how to trigger the follow-up scene I KNEW had to be there, even though I'd already done Shadowheart's personal quest & should have known I needed to long-rest, lmao. I wandered around like a dope for several minutes before finally triggering it.

I really, really liked this romance scene a lot. I liked that there isn't even an option to break up at this point; just like ME3, the romance is locked in and you can just play around inside that structure, which I thought was fantastic! I am sad that it opened with what I expected, which is him resigning himself to eventually being trapped in the darkness & never seeing sunlight again, and the fact that the game let you pick "maybe we'll figure something out with the tadpoles" only for Astarion to express doubt does make me worried for long-term outcomes. My favorite options once you get to the graveyard were to just stay back and let him talk, but I'm honestly really delighted that we got this scene of pretty significant emotional closure for him, and I loved the animation of him carving the year into the headstone. It seemed so immersive & real that even though we can't read the text, we know exactly what he did.

The only incredibly, incredibly, INCREDIBLY minor things I didn't adore about this scene are that first, when he tells you he loves you, his head animation is weirdly still/frozen the whole time on that set of lines despite his expression changing, and it honestly broke my immersion a little bit. The ambient movements of the characters have been so realistic for so many dozens of hours that to have this seriously critical and important moment for the character be almost rigid, especially against a completely silent music-less background, made it stick out as an "oh yeah, this is a video game" reminder. Bummer!

The other thing is that it's icky to have sex in a graveyard, lmao. Tavish doesn't really care because it's just dirt under them--he's literally standing in front of her, so as far as she's concerned it's not that different from the forest--but I did grimace a little. Someone give these dingdongs a bed! or at least a roof!

Anyway! A fantastic romance and super strong writing/consistent characterization throughout, and I'm pumped to see where it's going to go next. I'm still so curious about how the tadpole outcomes will affect things and faintly hoping for a deus ex machina to keep him in the sun, though I suppose that's what fic's for. Regardless, full sign-off on an utterly satisfying romance; so many little things dropped throughout were EXACTLY what I wanted--you can even accuse him of sincerity in the graveyard scene, which is precisely the arc I was hoping he'd have! He didn't even like you in the beginning and now we're smooching next to a bunch of dead people. What isn't romantic about that?

10/10 Larian, thanks for making me a mess for another white-haired grump.

Derek hale x Reader - teach me

I would love a request about Derek Hale x reader where she has a crush on him and she like 19 or 20 nd Derek loves her back as well , and she's also a born werewolf from India and she's a foreign exchange from India nd she friends with Scott nd Stiles. And they over hear her talking Hindi language and they are shocked. She explains to the pack nd Derek where she's from nd her history background. That there are not only werewolf in Beacon Hill but outside beacon hills - Anon💜

A/N: so when someone is talking in Hindi it’ll be in italics (like this) this is because I am unable to read or write Hindi

Sitting in the loft, you had books scattered around you, a mixture of homework to research that you were doing.

The pack had to go out, but Derek said you could stay to catch up on the work you needed to for school and look some things up for them while they went out to do some investigating.

Sure, you could’ve gone with them, but you had to make sure your grades were kept atop of if you wanted to stay as an exchange student for the university it was part of the contract you had to sign with them.

Taking a small break, you leant back on your hands and let out a small sigh as you tried to release all the tension from your body.

What brought you out of your relaxation was the sound of your phone ringing it.

Picking it up, you smiled to yourself and walked over to the windowsill to sit down as you answered the phone and stuck it on speaker.

“Good morning.”

“Morning (Y/N), how is everything? How are you? We haven’t heard from you all week!”

You laughed a little and shook your head.

“I’m fine, everything is going well. I’m really sorry for not calling you mom, I’ve been so busy with school.”

“That’s fine, that’s fine. I’m glad you’re doing your studies. Have you made friends? What are the people like? Are you taking care in full moons?”

Smiling to yourself, you rested your arms on your knees and propped your chin on them as you hummed a little.

“Yes, I’ve made many friends. They’re actually werewolves! They’re a pack, one is a banshee and another is a human, it’s a strange pack. They’re really friendly though, very good people. I met their alpha Scott while I was looking for work and walked into the veterinary clinic.”

You could hear your mom whispering over the phone, she must be talking to your dad and letting him know how everything was going.

“Good! So are you part of his pack too?” Your dad asked.

You hummed a little, thinking a moment before replying.

“Yes and no. I’m not an actual pack member, since you and every back home are my real pack. They’re like a surrogate pack I suppose.”

You carried on talking to your family, letting them update you on everything that was happening there and you shared stories of your time in beacon hills.

You were so invested in the phone call you weren’t aware of the loft door opening or closing, or the people coming in.

They all stopped when they saw you were on the phone, and Derek was the one who gestured for the teenagers to be quiet as they walked over to the table and set some things down.

They stuck to what they were doing, but when you spoke up they all stopped.

“Mom you don’t have to be worried, I’m being safe. It’s okay. I need to go but I will call you later okay?”

“You better, I need to know you’re safe.”

“I will, I will.” You laughed.

You heard your mom grumble on the other end of the line.

“Okay, be well. I love you.”

“I love you Mom, tell dad I love him too. Bye!”

You hung up and swung your legs back over the windowsill, grinning at the pack who were just staring at you in shock.

“Sorry, my mom called.”

“That’s fine…” Scott whispered.

“What the hell was that?!” Stiles rushed out, “what language was that?! Why didn’t we know?!”

“Stiles!” Lydia hissed.

Laughing sheepishly, you rubbed the back of your head as you grinned at them a little bit.

“Well, you know I’m exchange student, right?”

They all nodded.

“I’m front India, I was born and raised there. I decided to come here because we heard stories of a true alpha, and I was curious. And here has a better course programme from what I want to study.”

“Wait, you heard of a true alpha? In India?” Malia asked confused.

“Yes, news travels fast in the supernatural world you know. My pack is a rather prestigious pack in my country, we are very large and well known. My father is the alpha.”

“There’s werewolves outside of the states?” Stiles whisper yelled.

You nodded again.

“Yes, many countries have werewolves and other supernatural creatures. Though nowhere near as many as America has.”

“So have your family always been werewolves?” Derek asked.

You turned to him now that he had finally spoken and gave him a smile, shaking your head at his question.

“No, many, many years ago one of my ancestors was bitten by an alpha who was alone and scared, in need of a pack. So she created her own, out of fear of being lost in an unknown country. As time went on more and more packs stared appearing across the country, but my pack has always remained the largest. My father adopts stray werewolves with nowhere to go, and they become part of our family.”

He nodded his head and for the next hour you answered all the questions they asked you.

Finally when they seemed satisfied you got on with what they had found while they were out and what it was you guys needed to look for next and the next course of action.

Everyone left pretty early today, and while you were packing your homework away, and putting Derek’s books back where you had gotten them from he approached you.

“Can you stay for a minute.” He whispered.

You nodded, and turned to Stiles and Scott who were waiting to drop you off home.

“It’s okay, I’m staying here. I will walk home.”

“It’s not safe.” Scott frowned.

“I’ll take her home.” Derek said.

They seemed happy with this and left, and Derek waited for you to finish putting the books away before he gestured to the couch.

Walking over, you both sat down and turned to face the former alpha.

“What is it?” You asked.

Derek opened his mouth but closed it again.

“Derek?”

He looked up at you, and turned away.

“I want you to speak in Hindi again.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I just… it sounds nice.” He mumbled.

Smiling a little, you crossed your legs and rested your hands in your lap.

“You’re cute when you’re embarrassed.”

Derek smiled a little bit and looked up to face you.

“Could you teach me?”

“To speak Hindi?”

He nodded his head.

“Sure, but can I ask why? You don’t have to tell me.”

Derek reached over and placed his hand on your cheek, letting you lean into his touch.

“Because I want to be able to talk to you without the others knowing. I want to know you, and your language, and be able to talk to you in your native language.”

“I’d love that.”

“Good. Now, how do you say this?”

He leant forward and brushed his lips against yours.

“Can I kiss you?” He whispered.

You sucked in a small breath.

“Yes…”

“Tell me how to say it…”

You leant forward but he leant back away from you.

It took a while for derek to be able to pick up the words and sounds of the language, but he kept his face just inches from yours.

It was agonising to wait, and every time you went to kiss him he moved away.

Eventually he was able to semi pronounce it. It didn’t quite sound right, and he hadn’t quite gotten the hang of the pronunciation but you still knew what he was saying.

“Can I… kiss you…?”

He finally asked it, and he asked it in Hindi.

Without hesitation you leant forward and crashed your lips onto his in a desperate kiss. One you’d been wanting to give him for months ever since you realised how you felt for him

[streaminn]

The voices talk to Enid sometimes.

Sure, their crazy mutterings has driven her to headaches and the wish to dig her nails into her brain to keep them quiet but!

It was nice to talk to someone.

Hard to keep contact with anyone when you moved to some random place of nowhere so any company - even if it was in the hushed murmurings of past wolves that crave and crow for the blood that had suffocated them - was better than nothing

But through the frenzied murmurs of chase after that squirrel! or the cry of a McDonald's! that doesn't exist in this tiny town, Enid can hear the voices of people that isn't so lost to grief and death.

They're the older ones from before the massacre and the taint, when her status was a blessing and not a curse.

They talk when the sun first rises, the only time where most of the craved seemed to almost hibernate and Enid appreciates the way the midnight sky breaks apart for the light warm glow of orange.

It feels like she can breathe during these times. She appreciated the night sky, loving the moons glow like every wolf but..

Enid closes her eyes, remembering the look Wednesday gave her all those nights ago.

Yeah, like every wolf.

It's no wonder her blood went for wednesday when they could. Who wouldn't?

are you alright? a voice asks, it's enough to make enid open her eyes and bask in the tiring heat of the sun and her body aches. The voice didn't hold the harsh gnash of teeth, like a snarl echoing but they speak with the soft strain of a voice, one so used to screaming.

"missin' her," Enid answers. There was no use for lying. "seems like no matter where I go, I'll think of her."

The mental image of a ? pops into her head and Enid humms, pulling her knees up to lay her arms and head on them.

She feels tired.

She should sleep soon. It's too early to be up, she needs to head inside.

(To the empty halls? The cold bed?)

Maybe she should stay out a little longer and feel the warmth, vitamin D is healthy after all.

"got away from jersey 'cause they're livin' there," Enid murmurs, tracing her arm with a finger as her eyes stared onto the rising sun. Maybe if she stares long enough, the light will sear into her eyes instead of someone else. "i helped picked their house and-"

She choked, her throat closing before she let out a breath.

".. I don't know why but I thought that could've been us someday," Enid admits as her eyes blur. "just me and 'day, like in nevermore."

There's no shame in wishing, it speaks and Enid breathes a shuddering air as she blinks. It's only human.

The werewolf eyes drops and she burrows her head fully into her arms.

"human to wish for someone else?"

Yes. We earned our place here by doing so.

"I don't know what to feel about that," she drly mutters. "kinda crazy to know that thousands of old spirits are wafting in my brain."

We are here to aide when we can.

Why couldn't you aide me when it mattered then? She wants to snap. Why couldn't you tell me that I would end up like this? Miserable, alone.

Exactly what she didn't want.

Enid wants to scream, she wants to choke out the words of why.

She burrows herself deeper, wishing that the cushion of her arm was another ones shoulder. She thinks back to damp woods, of harsh breathes and blood staining her hands as she holds the one person she cares about in this world.

She thinks of Wednesday.

Thinks of that small curl of her lips and the way her cheek dips into a beautiful dimple. Enid breathes in the dust of her clothes and wishes that it's the familiar ache of some kind of poison and dirt from the Addams cemetery.

"why can't I stop," Enid says, her eyes a glazed empty blue as she gazes into nothing. "why do I see her everywhere?"

The world must be mocking her because even when the wolf left to a whole different state, to as far as she could go. Enid sees the girl she loves in every step of the way. In the woods she walks, the dark of her kitchen, the blood that spills from her fingers as she works, stuck in the shadows inbetween the houses-

Wednesday is there like a parasite, leeching onto her brain and leaving Enid unable to think of anything else.

It takes a moment but when they answer, it makes Enid laugh. The sound a pathetic watery wheeze as a tear slips before the rest follows.

It makes sense, doesn't it?

You love her after all.

[sunflower-butch]

Hey I have nothing better to do, here’s some fic recs for y’all!!

If you have followed me for any amount of time you know which one I’m about to lose my mind over—

Bloodletting by agentgenevra / @agentgenevra

Nancy is a vampire hunter… And also a vampire. Robin is a vampire. The plot of this fic is SO incredibly woven, I am NOT kidding guys. Every character has their place, and everything connects in just the coolest way. I’m literally obsessed. The slow burn dynamic between Robin and Nancy is incredible and full of tension as well! I am feral about this fic.

dancing in the moonlight by summersociety

Nancy is a monster hunter and Robin is a werewolf. This fic is the PERFECT mix of wacky and serious and I adore it for that. The tension is incredible, I would kill for the side characters, the internal struggle for Robin is so well written! The way this author writes for the werewolf in a different way is such a cool creative choice. This fic will have you crying over “aroo.” Just saying.

a never ending story by summersociety

Robin and Nancy play D&D and their in game romance definitely has nothing to do with Nancy having a big fat crush on Robin. Their dynamic in game and out of game is just so lovely and we love a little comphet Wheeler. Plus!!! This author just has some very poetic writing and I adore it

Raise Dead by EskaWrites / @eskawrites

Robin died in the Upside-Down. Nancy is grieving, but the kids are scheming. One (1) fic has brought actual tears to my eyes. I don’t usually cry over media but this one will pull at the heart strings. Go in knowing that this fic will devastate you, but it will fix you afterwards. I found myself holding my breath through some of the more intense portions, and the way this writer describes Nancy’s grief and uses symbolism just broke my heart.

you’re the reason that i’m hanging on by EskaWrites / @eskawrites

Robin gets Vecna’d. INCREDIBLE angst, I don’t want to say too much and spoil it, but the dynamics are wonderful and the ending is fantastic.

choke up (on my bat and on your heart) by gfbuckleyxwheeler / @werewolfxwheeler

As a bitch who didn’t think I’d be into sports aus, this fic!!! Ronance are on a softball team and they have a wonderful hate/love relationship and I adore it!! And Max and Chrissy are both lovely in this au <333 Em also has a wonderful blog here, please check them out!

feels like I’ve been gettin’ anointed (ever since the day that I met you) by khalasaar / @sapphicriley

Catholic school au with the partner project trope PLEASE. This one is spicy. The writing is incredible, the tension is fantastic, and also I think you can tell she writes/reads poetry in her writing, which I happen to think is cool as shit. Inappropriate use of religious imagery my beloved <333 Did I mention tension—

put me in the movies (on a king sized silver screen) by khalasaar / @sapphicriley

Robin works at a drive in theatre and Nancy keeps visiting her because she’s a dumb lesbian. This is one of my favorite fluffy, sweet stories, oh my god. They are so!!! I want to squeeze them. Their dynamic and their banter and Nancy being So Totally Smooth is the best. I need to reread this one

Handle With Care by ElFandomBirb / @el-fandom-birb

Centering around Robin thinking about love and her Handle with Care patch. Oh. My. God. The types of love actually killed me, this fic is so soft and so sweet. Repetition as a plot device!!! Seriously one of my favorite one shots. Also another great Ronance blog

400 Bones [series] by DearApparition / @anxiouswerewolf

You want to read some of the most delicious angst out there? Here you go. Ronance is messy and angsty but they’re there for each other and I could easily cry about any of the fics in this series

here and wherever you are by penguinwritesbooks

The Half Of It au. Steve recruits Robin to write love letters to Nancy. One of my favorite movies and my favorite ship lovingly rolled into one. Everything feels very true to the characters and the dynamics without being a scene by scene retelling!! There’s a Steddie sequel if that’s your thing

#will probably do another list soon #I’ve read so many incredible fics #this was also an excuse to yell about how cool my mutuals are #fic recs #ronance #ronance fic rec #robin buckley #nancy wheeler #robin x nancy #nancy x robin #werewolf robin buckley #monster hunter nancy wheeler #stranger things #forgive me if any descriptions are a little off #it’s been a minute since I’ve read some of these : #vampire Nancy wheeler #vampire robin buckley

[sweetsweethate]

My favorite Monster High dolls (gen 1)

(this is a long post and i have to clarify that, while i think there are more designs i love so much, i don't think they look that good on dolls like they do on illustrations, ex: OG Abbey Bominable)

Clawdeen Wolf

My favorite, she is just iconic, THE werewolf ghoul, i love violet and golden together and boy their dolls make it work, also her brown skin makes everything better (special mention to her 1600 doll she definitly slay with that outfit)

Draculaura

She invented pink, never seen that color before the first Draculaura dolll hit the market, while she has a lot of dolls, i kinda prefer the ones that are more 'simple' but omg the Japan Exchange one? never seen something so pretty

Frankie Stein

Blue and silver neker look so great together until Frankie, i dont know how her style is called, but i love her academic chic vibe(? love her cold palette and her hair is my favorite thing ever

Cleo de Nile

THE QUEEN of Monster High, every putfit screems royalty and glam, turquoise and golden is just chef kiss, and personally i love when her hair is fully black

Lagoona Blue

Oh Lagoona i love you, her pink accents are so cute and her blonde hair with blue highlights, wish they focused more on her 'sporty laid back style' like her OG doll but he is so cute after all

CA Cupid and Viperine Gorgon

If someone says 'you can get 1 monster high, whatever you want' i would say CA cupid without doubt, everything about her is so delicate, precious and creppy and the same time, yeah she is cupid but also she has wings made with bones, how cool is that? and the black gradient? everything i ever dream in a doll

Viperine is so cool, i never pay atention to Deuce but the concept of a gorgon doll is so creative and so here is Viperine, while i always complain about the numerous dolls with pink accents or pallets, i think the pink looks so good on her and the texture of her skin and her glasses are my fav thing

Sirena Van Boo, Skelita Calaveras and Operetta

Sirena Van Boo, i fell in love with her design since i watched the movie, like i already said, i love black gradients and her hair? its perfect, i love her color pallet and her mermaid tal is one of the prettiest things i've seen in a mh doll

Skelita is a skeleton doll, a s k e l l e t o n d o l l, obviously i have to add her cause thats alone is madness, i chose this version of her cause i love the pink and turquoise together and her bad is so pretty

Operetta is one of my favs cause her concept is so cool to me, like she has a mask and yep she got me there ngl, her white, black and red style is everything plus her 60's vibes

Thats all! thanks for reading :)

[ghostradiodylan]

I feel like we’re always talking about missed opportunities and ‘hidden knowledge’ (i.e. Dylan’s necklace extended discourse). So, in a similar vein: what do you think the counselor’s middle names would be?

I wanted to ask everyone this and kept forgetting! You’re going to wish you asked someone more creative than me because I have an incredibly lazy answer. A few months back I read a fic that gave Dylan a middle name I violently hated (bad personal associations) and I was like, okay, this sucks, but what would I give him instead? And then I thought, dumb idea, what if they all had their actors’ names as middle names? I figured no way, they couldn’t actually sound good, right? Too easy. But… it actually kinda works? For most of them anyway, I did make some tweaks.

I actually think Dylan’s middle name is Dylan. I think his first name is Miles and he goes by his middle. Flows better that way to my ear.

Miles Dylan Lenivy.

Ariel is too similar to Abigail, it’s too singsongy, but Winter is actually Ariel’s middle name. Abigail Winter Blyg didn’t really speak to me either but what if we shifted the season and gave her Autumn instead?

Abigail Autumn Blyg? Into it. Witchy fall girlie.

Ryan Justice Erzahler. Yes please.

Laura Siobhan Kearney. Poetry. Might be my favorite of the bunch. Consistently Irish.

Now, is Max just outright legally named Max, or is it short for something like Maxwell or Maximilian or Maximus? I think I like Maxwell best for him.

Maxwell Skyler Brinly. I like the echoed y sound. (Although Skyler’s middle name is Augustus and that would be a fun option for Max too.)

Nicholas Evan Furcillo. Fine. Serviceable.

Jacob Zachary Custos. Yep. ✅ That’s a perfectly nice middle of the road white boy name. Which is just what you want for our naked himbo babe.

Kaitlyn Brenda Ka. I just think giving her the middle name Brenda is very funny. It’s so incredibly 80’s. I’m obsessed with Kaitlyn naming her Barbadian D&D character Brenda in that one 80’s AU fic.

Emma Halston Mountebank. Yes. Sounds expensive. I don’t know what Emma’s social background is supposed to be but that name sounds like a horse girl to me. I feel like she wants to project wealth and success even if she has more humble roots than it seems.

And just for funsies, this handy plug-and-play formula gives us

Travis Theodore Hackett

Christopher David Hackett

Jedidiah Lance Hackett

Robert Ethan Hackett

Constance Lin (Grundy) Hackett

Eliza(beth?) Grace Vorez

Kaylee and Caleb can’t share the middle name of Uncredited Face Model, so I’m giving Caleb Travis as a middle name, since THackett and CHackett used to be tight, and Kaylee Amelia after her mother.

Silas I’m giving the middle name Peter, for both Peter and the Wolf and Peter Stubbe, ‘The Bedburg Werewolf’ so, Silas Peter Vorez.

Sometimes being lazy as fuck about naming characters works out I guess? But I wanna hear other headcanons because I could definitely be swayed on these!

[slashingdisneypasta]

Hey thank you for the links! They are working. Werewolf Sykes is sooo cool. And, I love dark fic so I thought the drabble was awesome. Pulling a gun on his s/o? Yeah. He would. His gentle, quiet, dangerous voice...👌👌

I had a dark thought, too. Warning for dub-con. If your family happened to owe Sykes a debt...imagine him demanding you as part of his payment. Promising them that the amount they owe will be reduced if they hand you over. He'll say you'll be working for him, helping with accounting and bookkeeping, that your services will take some of the weight off his shoulders...they can't see any other option but to accept.

He walks to you to his car, whispering silkily into your ear not to worry, all your needs will be taken care of. One of his big, warm hands on the small of your back as you climb into the back seat. Just a hint of a threat in his voice and his imposing size sending a shiver through you. You soon find out that the services he mentioned aren't exactly what you were expecting ;)

That's it. 😁 You must have some Toon Patrol asks then. 😁 I like the Weasels too, Wheezy being my fav. What else do you have asks for? It's ok if you don't want to share- I am just very curious. I have a feeling I'm going to like it here!

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH oh my gosh.

This. This, this, this!!! There's nothing to add, its just- Ughhh, good stuff 👌 XD

Accounting 😏 and Book Keeping 🥰 I see.

And- yes!! I have lots of Toon Patrol asks! ^^ There is some other stuff sprinkled in as well though. Ooh you like Wheezy?? Sameeee XD He is so chill and in control 😏 While also being an unpredictable addict, which is very interesting XD

Here's the list!: (Apart from the OC stuff, the audience for which is basically @marinerainbow and I XD )

Doc and Sheriff from Cars x Reader x Chick Hicks. I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED TO WRITE THIS. I NEED TO SIT MY ASS DOWN AND ENJOY IT, I DUNNO WHY I KEEP PUSHING IT BACK!! @marinerainbow g i f t e d this ask to me, suggesting a reader who's so flirty with Doc and the Sheriff, because she likes them so much <3<3 , but who's getting nowhere with them because she's younger and they're gentlemen who would never 'take advantage' of her- when Chick comes into the picture and starts coming onto reader (He has no problem with the age gap 😅🤣). And she kinda has a moment, like... well, I'm not getting anywhere with the men I w a n t- so I might as well give this guy, who actually w a n t s m e, a chance! Right?? And then suddenly Doc and Sheriff are jealous XD

Another of her gift asks to me as a Professor fucking Callahan one where he treats Student!Menstruating!Reader better then all the other students XDD I c a n n o t believe I haven't written this yet. I guess I just feel guilty writing so much Cal (and Jim and Cruella and Otis- my f/os) 😅😅 The audience is real niche for them 😅😅😅

Horror Villains sorted by Love Language

A few Spotify Wrapped Prompts I still havent done 😅😰 (Maleficent, Psycho Weasel, Greasy Weasel, Inkubus, Clayton, and the Horned King).

Rufus Firefly thoughts! x2

@marinerainbow 's Slasher!Toon Patrol AU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x2

Lady Tremaine and Madame Medusa thinking about reader while they're... self caring~ 😏 XD

Which Disney Villains would be up for a threesome with reader?? And with w h i c h other Disney Villains would they be happy to do it with? 😏😏😏

Ex!Freddy Krueger x Reader who's with someone else now but cant stop thinking about him. (God fucking damn him, right?? XD ) I actually have written this, but I made it r e a l self indulgent and the other guys is d e f i n e t l y Jim Bickerman (I mean- I didn't use his name- But I alluded to it XD Reader kinda goes 'J- ' and stops just in time XD ). So i have to rewrite it and make it a bit more ambiguous XD

Pervy Villains (Beetlejuice, Chucky, Freddy, Greasy, Hades (or Jafar. I'm thinking of swapping them), and Offenderman) reacting to noticing reader having a wet dream ~~~

#i hope you do like it here!! ^^ you seem lovely and we're happy to have you!! ^^ 💛💛💛

[nat-seal-well]

I’m in bed now because tomorrow I go in at 3 in the morning and I’m tired. But because I’m in bed, it means I can finally talk about an AU that won’t leave me alone :D

(And yeah, I know I already have 2 I’m working on. Tbh I don’t know if I’ll ever actually do anything with this third one, but it’s fun to think about and rotate around in my head like a Costco rotisserie chicken.)

I watched a movie the other day that was frankly, disappointing, but one of the few things I liked about it was that the love interest-person made dresses. He was a dick and his wife deserved way better (even though she poisoned him to put him in his place and I said “fuck yeah, do it again”), but I thought the whole dress-making thing was really cool. And then, because my mind works the way it does and it always likes to play with AUs, I said, “Hm, what if?”

This is also partially fueled by a very beloved book of mine. Some of my favorite parts in it are when the main character and her sisters are getting ready for a ball and getting sized and fitted for fancy dresses. Idk something about it just really appealed to me. Maybe I like pretty things too much. (To be completely honest, I know I do. It’s why I keep buying jewelry when I don’t actually like to wear any most of the time.)

I don’t have a clear plot for this AU like I do for the other two. Really it’s just a couple of scenes that are vaguely connected. Here’s what I’m thinking:

It would be set in, like, the 18th century or something bc let’s be honest everyone likes that.

Dressmaker!Marin who spends their days lost in their work in some tiny, little local shop that doesn’t get much recognition despite having a handful of very loyal customers.

They’re doing their usual thing when someone walks in and makes the bell above the door ring. This is a surprise, because they aren’t expecting anyone today. They don’t have any fitting appointments and while walk-ins are welcome, the shop doesn’t really get any.

So they put their work aside and make their way up to the front of the shop to greet whoever it is. And, of course, who else could it be but a certain very tall, and very pretty Nat?

(With a disgruntled Ava in tow. She does not want to be there.)

They make their introductions. Nat does most of the speaking, and talks about how she and her very dear friend aren’t from here—they’re visiting on prolonged business, she says. (Agency business, but Marin doesn’t know that.) It was very sudden and neither of them had time to pack properly, and she knows this is very short timing, but they’re going to be in town for a while, and would Marin possibly be kind and generous enough spend part of their day having them measured so they can place a few orders?

Ava says under her breath, “I don’t need new clothes.” To which Nat replies, too quietly for Marin to hear, “Your last dress is currently covered in werewolf blood. It’s either a new wardrobe, or you walk around for everyone to see in your shift.”

(Ava does not want to do that. She reluctantly agrees.)

Marin, of course, is more than willing to help. Partially because they’re eager for new customers, and partially because they find Nat very attractive and when they say yes, she smiles at them and it makes their heart jump. And their face feel warm. How strange.

Naturally, they move on to the actual measuring. Ava intimidates them and it goes smoothly, if more quiet than a usual appointment. They discovered quickly that she isn’t one for small talk. When it’s over and done with, it’s almost a relief.

With Nat, it’s a very different story. Nat makes conversation and is very insightful. She has a nice, soft laugh and makes them feel at ease, and has plenty of compliments to offer after seeing the dresses in display in the shop window. It’s safe to say that Marin is a very flustered mess, even though they’re enjoying her company. A lot.

There’s one moment where she has to get close with the measuring tape. Marin doesn’t notice at first until they realize they can smell the perfume she’s wearing, and then they look up—and wow, she is very tall, Marin has to tilt their head back to look her in the eye, and when did she get so close? They feel jumpy and take a step back, and try to play it off. If Nat almost trips over one of her sentences for some strange reason, Marin doesn’t notice.

Ava notices, though. Because of course she does.

The rest of the afternoon goes relatively smooth, even if Marin does make it a point to avoid making eye contact in order to keep their cool. Ava says she doesn’t care about the details of her garments, as long as they leave plenty of space for her to move around in like she needs. Nat isn’t picky either, though she does have a few things in mind. Marin says that they think she would look good in green.

They thank her, they pay for Marin for their time, and leave. And that’s that. That should be that.

Naturally, it isn’t. Not when Nat walks through the door again a few days later, but not to talk business. Instead, she says, it’s just… to see them. Just because she was “in the area” and thought she’d drop by. (Spoilers: she’s lying.)

One thing leads to another. Nat comes by more and more frequently, and Marin can’t help it when they wind up falling. Hard.

I just have this image in mind of them having quiet, private conversations in an empty shop as Marin works on sewing and beading and measuring fabric, while Nat sits on the other side of the work table and sips on cups of tea. It is soft and intimate and Marin finds they look forward to coming in more and more every day.

Naturally, when their work is done, there would be a scene where Marin is helping Nat into one of the dresses they made for her. Maybe they’re standing back to see it on her in its entirely, looking over their work to search for what can be improved, but oh no—the only thing they can actually focus on is now good Nat looks.

There’s a pause as Marin stands there and tries to get it together to think of something to say. They fail miserably. But why is Nat staring at them like that?

They clear their throat and open their mouth to offer an alteration they could make—a remark about it being just a little too long, or the sleeves extending just a bit too far, or something for them to fix so that Nat can keep visiting for just a little bit longer—but they never get to finish their thought. Because that’s when Nat takes a step forward and places her gloved hands very gently on either side of Marin’s face, and leans down to pull them into a kiss.

(It occurs to Marin later that she never actually looked herself over in the mirror once. Nat was too busy watching them.)

#sealy rambles #this has been in my head for days #will I do something with it? #probably not #but it’s fun to think about :)

"Hyunjin-ah, have you been working out recently?" the girl purred.

"No."

"He's just naturally pretty," the girl's friend smiled. The two girls crowded him from either side, arms linked with his.

"Sorry, did you need something?" 

"Yes," the girl smirked, "You."

"I-I don't think that-" he tried but was cut off by a booming voice.

"Yujin! What are you doing?" the boy roared as he descended upon the three students. Hyunjin blinked innocently at the clearly outraged man. The unknown man stared down at the girl he had addressed as Yujin, waiting for her reply and she seemed to flounder, plump lips opening and closing in an attempt to explain her current situation. She immediately dropped Hyunjin's arm as if she had been scolded and jumped away from Hyunjin and into the arms of the fuming man. 

"He did it! He lured me in, he tricked me!" she cried, gripping the man who had a protective hold on her as he glowered at Hyunjin.

"You piece of shit, you're no better than a demon," he spat. "I bet that's not even your real face, just a mask you wear to trick innocent girls into sleeping with scum like you." Hyunjin couldn't do anything but stare at the man, the whole situation utterly blindsiding him but this seemed to only anger the man more. "You fucking monster," he said as he lunged for Hyunjin, his fist striking the confused siren square in the nose, causing a resounding crack to echo through the halls. He could faintly hear the gasps of the girls. "You know any love you think you have will never be real, that's the curse of monsters like you, you aren't like us." His words replayed in Hyunjin's mind over and over as he stumbled through the halls, blood gushing from his broken nose and tears streaming from his eyes. He looked a mess but he couldn't find it in himself to care. Hyunjin barely registered the feeling of warm hands guiding him into his dorm, he wasn't even sure if the person was talking to him or not. The person led Hyunjin to sit at the edge of his bed. They sat down beside him, their hand immediately going to soothe the crying boy's back. They didn't even flinch when Hyunjin wrapped his long arms around their form, curling in on himself and sobbing into their chest.

"Hyunjin, what happened?" The man asked once his friend had calmed down a bit, he used his fingers to card through his long black hair. Hyunjin reluctantly removed his head from Seungmin's chest, realising he had stained the man's cardigan with tears. He looked the man in the eyes, they were soft but Hyunjin could see thinly veiled anger dancing within the darkness. Hyunjin shook his head and Seungmin let out a sigh in response. Though the man wouldn't tell him what had been troubling him, Seungmin could take an educated guess as to what had happened, after all, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. "Well, we at least have to get this fixed," Seungmin tried as Hyunjin regarded him with a pout.

"I don't want to go out there," the man whispered and Seungmin could feel his heart pounding forcefully at the thought of who could have turned his friend from his normal bubbly self to this. His primal instincts told him to find the cause and rip their head from their sorry self. But that was wrong. Seungmin couldn't do that. That would only upset Hyunjin more. The man hated fighting, and any kind of confrontation really.

"Okay," Seungmin breathed, enveloping one of Hyunjin's shaking hands with his. "That's okay. I'll call Minho."

▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

"What the hell happened Kim? Why would you send me a text like that? Do you want to kill me?" Minho sneered as he entered Seungmin and Hyunjin's dorm. 

"I just wanted you to come fast," Seungmin said as he led the witch to Hyunjin who was now wrapped up in a blanket, stray tears slipping from his eyes every so often. Minho's eyes strayed from Seungmin's form to Hyunjin's, his slightly annoyed gaze instantly melting upon seeing the boy. 

"What happened to you?" Minho spoke in a slightly playful tone, one that a person might take with a child who had just hurt themselves on the playground or even one of his cats. Hyunjin gave no response other than a small sniffle and Minho pouted cutely at him. His fingers lifted to rest upon the bridge of Hyunjin's nose, the man wincing slightly when pressure was put on it. "It hurts?" Minho hummed. "Definitely broken, but nothing I can't fix. You'll be back to your pretty self in no time," Minho spoke as he worked to heal his friend's nose. What he hadn't realised though, was the tears that now fell freely from Hyunjin's eyes. Once he was finished, Minho noticed the way the man was shaking now, looking into his eyes he watched as the boy silently cried. "Hyunjin?"

"What if-" he whimpered. "What if I don't want to be pretty anymore, I don't want to be like this anymore." The two men watched in shock as sobs wracked through his entire body, unsure of how to make him feel better.

"Be like what?" Minho questioned slowly. "What did they say to you?"

"It doesn't matter, it's true. No one will ever truly love me because of what I am, it's all fake," he cried.

"That's not true Hyunjin, I promise," Seungmin replied, kneeling in front of the boy. "You can control your powers, you can turn them on and off. You know this. You have never used your powers on us, have you?"

He shakes his head. He would never.

"And we all love you, and it's real, because we know the real you," Seungmin finished.

Hyunjin always wondered how his friend always knew exactly what to say. Maybe it was all those books he read, although Hyunjin wasn't sure what countless books on historical magical artefacts could tell him about being a good friend.

▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

Hyunjin had always been so alluring, you had thought so for years. Ever since Chan introduced you to him. The general consensus is that Hyunjin was the dark prince of Creon University. Everyone wanted him. No one could have him. 

Chan had taken you under his wing a little after Jeongin. Chan had been assigned as your tutor and as time went on, you stopped seeing the man as the scary alpha that he is often portrayed as and started seeing him as a friend. Chan had introduced you to Jeongin first, naturally. The two of you would train together, always in competition with each other to earn the respect of Chan. You had met the rest of his friends a couple of times since and it was always Hyunjin that stood out to you the most.

You had heard whisperings about him, about how he uses his powers to draw you in. You wouldn't even realise it was happening. And you weren't sure if there was any truth to that, but you did know that whenever you laid eyes on him you felt like you needed to know him. 

▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

"You really need to stop studying all the time, Kim Seungmin," Chan laughed as he sat down beside Jeongin at the dining table. The man in question had his nose in a book, as was expected of him.

"Oh, this? This isn't study material, I'm reading about the ancient powers and how they used objects to store power," Seungmin smiled as he spoke.

"For fun?" Chan questioned, a brow raised mockingly.

"Yes for fun," Seungmin replied with an eye-roll. Chan shrugged his shoulders, holding his palms in the air.

"Tell me you're at least coming to the party?" Chan prodded.

"I might."

"Good," Chan smiles, knowing that was the younger man's way of conceding. As the wolf begins to dig into his food he notices you and a friend walking past their table on the way to the usual table you and your friends often frequent. "Hey, Y/n!" You look surprised to hear Chan's booming voice in the packed room, your head snapping to the alpha. You see him beckon you over and you almost crash into a few students as you make your way to the foot of their table. You see Chan and all of his friends, the wolf smiles at you in greeting. You bow to the group before sending a smile back in Chan's direction, a motion that urges him to tell you why he had called you over in front of all of his friends. "We're having a party tonight, I know how uptight you are so it'll do you some good to get outta that dorm of yours," he laughs. You snarl at the man half-jokingly. "I said the same thing to Seungminnie," he finishes and now it was Seungmin's turn to sneer at the man. 

"A party? For what?" you ask.

"For surviving. My girlfriend did save the world you know?" Lee Minho responded and wrapped his arm around the girl beside him who you had heard so much about. The group let out a collective groan at the man's words.

"Seriously? You're in love, we get it," Han Jisung rolls his eyes and Minho shrugs, enjoying his friends' disgust. 

"Well, anyway, yeah. It's to celebrate the end of this cursed year," Chan chuckles.

"Okay, I'll think about it. Thanks for the invite," you reply, bowing as you turned to head to your own table. 

"That better be a yes!" You heard Chan shout.

▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

He was drunk. Chan had told him to enjoy himself. But the way he couldn't tear his eyes away from Hyunjin was becoming a problem. The boy was laughing as he danced with a few friends, Seungmin watched as he threw his head back, laughter racking his whole body. He watched as his adam's apple bobbed up and down. Seungmin shook his head. Yeah, this was bad news. He turned his body away as he rested his drink on the counter, still unable to get the image of his friend out of his head.

"You made it." Seungmin jumped at the sound of Hyunjin's gentle voice behind him. He spun around, trying to mask the panic on his features. 

"Contrary to popular belief, I'm not actually a hermit," Seungmin quips. Hyunjin lets out another laugh.

"In that case, dance with me?" Seungmin's eyes widen at the request.

"I-I don-" he attempts.

"Oh come on," Hyunjin pouts and Seungmin feels himself rolling his eyes and letting out a huffy 'fine'.

This was a problem. The way Hyunjin danced in front of him made him feel as though he were in some teen coming-of-age film where the love interest is dancing seductively. Yeah, that was exactly what this felt like. Hyunjin jumped up and down with the boisterous music but it wasn't until a particular sensual song came on that Seungmin decided he had enough. Hyunjin body rolled, his tongue darting out to lick his lips as he did it. 

Seungmin stood in the bathroom mirror, staring at his reflection and trying to calm his racing heart. After splashing water in his face in a desperate attempt to knock himself out of the daze his friend had put him in he decided it was time to rejoin civilization but this time, he would avoid Hyunjin. That seemed like a solid plan to Seungmin, until he took two steps outside the bathroom only to be met with the man he was so desperate to avoid. 

"Are you okay?" Hyunjin asked. "You took off pretty quickly back there."

"I'm fine," Seungmin replies.

"Are you sure? You don't look fine," Hyunjin says as he lifts a hand to rest on the man's forehead.

"Hyunjin, please," Seungmin almost whines.

"What?" The innocent look in Hyunjin's eyes sets Seungmin alight.

"Drop it," Seungmin replies darkly as he shoves Hyunjin back a step, almost chest to chest with the man as he tries to regain a semblance of control. Though he can't help the way his gaze drops to Hyunjin's plump lips. But he wouldn't act, no matter how hard it was to hold himself back. And he didn't act, but the feeling of Hyunjin's plush lips on his came anyway. His eyes widened as he pushed Hyunjin away slightly, realising what he had done. No, what Hyunjin had done.

"That's what you wanted, right?" Hyunjin smirked, his pupils dilated.

"I-" Hyunjin saw the way his ears reddened and he pulled him in once again, capturing the man's lips in his. It was a heated and fervent meeting. Seungmin loved the way he tasted, loved the way Hyunjin trailed kisses down the line of his jaw, down to his neck. His mouth hung open slightly in pleasure, not caring about a thing other than the two of them. It felt like a dream, and you know the way the best dreams get interrupted? The way you get rudely awakened and drawn back to reality right when it was about to get good? Yeah, you were that rude awakening. 

The sound of picture frames crashing to the floor snapped the two men from their dazes, Seungmin's eyes opened and Hyujin whipped his body around to see you standing at the opposite end of the hall, a guilty and utterly embarrassed look covered your face.

"Sorry, I- I'll just, yeah," you stuttered as you bent down to pick up the fallen frames, placing them back on the shelf you had knocked them from. "Bye," you spoke before taking off in the direction you came from, leaving Seungmin and Hyunjin to deal with what had just happened.

Hiii Bee I am once again thinking about multiple AUs of your boys, hope you don't mind some questions!

So, what causes is werewolf Marvin specifically passionate about, and what would him and Sean advocate for and tackle first now that funds and help are available?

For MBC, I need some cute details about Quintrell and JJ, everything was so chaotic I feel like their dynamic was tangled in the mix! What sort of dates would they enjoy? Do they snuggle or are both their guards a little too high for that at the start of a relationship? How do you think your JJ will do being with a girlfriend, after so long with so much isolation? Does he ever have struggles with, uh. It's hard to explain, but when getting so close to someone again, as close as a partner is, does he struggle with being triggered by the intimacy and just the closeness with a person that loves him so much?

(Also sidenote, the whole symbolism of her literally being a voice for him, and her actual power being not the language itself, but the understanding of others. It feels like G-d un-Babbled her towers lol!)

yayyy I love questionssss okay you got it. well Marv is very passionate about foster care advocacy and child abuse prevention for werewolves - oh gosh I am realizing that sounds weird out of context lol. I promise werewolves are taken seriously in my au. the point is, Marvin was abused as a kid by Uncle Graham and then saw Jackie have a really hard time in children's homes that were not fitted to his needs either as a werewolf or a kiddo with autism. so he would want to reach out to werewolf families to encourage them to become foster placements! and he would educate facilities and social workers on the needs of werewolves and how to serve them better, and on neurodivergency in werewolves, and so on. meanwhile Sean is very passionate about the public opinion of werewolves and would love to start an awareness campaign about how werewolves are not dangerous and are often mistreated in court. court advocacy is big for him. and they can both start some support groups or support programs for werewolves and werewolf neighborhoods!

and I thought about posting more about Quin and JJ, but you never know if the audience will buy into the relationship or not. I love them tho!! the understanding between them has felt so poignant for them since the day they got together, because Quin understands the things JJ has been through in a very unique way even from his brothers, but also JJ understands having a brother like Cedar who has done some terrible things but you still love. they feel very connected and have a lot of long hugs. intimacy can be difficult for JJ physically, so they have eased into it over time, and sometimes he still will have moments where he needs her hands off him asap, or sometimes if he's touched for too long she notices he starts to act different, like his sort of helpless sweetheart mode that used to keep him safe with Anti, but she feels she knows how to give him space with this. and Quin has problems with intimacy emotionally because she's felt discredited and alone for so long. sometimes when JJ's too nice she feels like he's trying to trick her into something. but she likes when he kisses her face and his facial hair scratches her. she'll put her fingers in it and scratch him like a cat.

JJ has had a couple breakdowns with triggers of his, and this is humiliating for him although he knows it should not be. they are still working on finding the most affirming but least babying way to handle this. still, Quin - although she has not expressed this to him because she thinks it will sound weird - feels extremely honored to be able to be with him when he's vulnerable. nobody has really allowed her to be there for them before. she will sit with him for long hours and tell him he's not with Anti anymore and that she will protect him. and she's so no-nonsense about everything, he's glad

JJ's brothers like it a lot because Quin really helps JJ's self-esteem. even though they've been through so much unusual stuff, he feels so normal - in a good way - when he's with her. like he's just allowed to be an adult who has a girlfriend. he just goes on dates with her and nobody gets mad at him about it? they are running an organization together? he loves to be a gentleman and buy things for her and take care of her, it affirms his masculinity in a way he has never gotten before. and when she takes care of him or buys something for him, he feels cared for but not infantilized.

they're also just very Weird together and they love it. last week for a date they just watched all the barbie movies together and made crepes. they've joined football leagues in Brighton but for some reason have chosen to be on opposing teams and get distracted slide-tackling each other. they didn't like having separate offices at the magic society so they just have two desks side by side and the worst part is they never even use it as an opportunity to make out at work. they didn't bother to give each other keys to their places because either one can just pick the lock anytime and come in. Quin definitely took one of the cats to her place for a whole weekend last month just cause she wanted to. they repeatedly drag Cedar along to dates as a third wheel to get him out of the house, never mind that he once tried to kill JJ and that he has to be dragged out with them. they're going to a protest for their six month anniversary. they're not having sex. they're keeping the apartment at 24 Celsius. when JJ had a problem with his meds and wound up in the hospital for a night she brought him a new smoothie maker - to the hospital - because it was the only thing she thought he would actually like as a get well present. and now they'll be making smoothies well into January. what is happening

and please feel free to picture Ash, Max, and Quin all sitting back at a family get-together and just sipping wine and Observing. they do have a groupchat together without any of the boys

did this fulfill the required dose of cute couple content? lol
