Reading 30 Strales and omg Blade smelling like citrus sounds amazing. I've been playing for about 3 weeks and after fulling catching up on the trailblazer quests I was like dang blade kills people a lot right, he probably smells like blood 24/7 that's so gross. All this to say... reject logic, I agree that blade smells like citrus. Do you have thoughts on what any of the others would smell like?
Tumblr media
what the hsr men smell like
ft. blade, gepard, jing yuan, dan heng, luocha, and welt
cw!: mentions of blood, no pronouns for reader mentioned, implied relationship, cuddling, swearing, super fluffy :)
note - thank you so much for reaching out to me omg 🥺 i reject logic too so that's how the whole citrus thing came to be ajsjdk. also i know absolutely nothing about colognes/fragrances so i'm sorry if i mess some of these up ;-; hope you're having a great day/night though pookie <3
and as always, thank you for reading :)
˗ˏˋ ★ ˊˎ˗
blade
~ as mentioned above, def smells like citrus and bergamot.
~ sometimes you can catch a little metallic-y whiff of (cough cough) def not blood (cough cough), but it never lasts for long - when he hugs you, the smell of oranges invades your senses like a light summer breeze~
~ and don't get me started on how obsessed he is w this scent. if he stays somewhere for even 1-2 days, you know he's bringing along his 3 freakin citrus-scented candles!!
~ please run your fingers thru his hair when you're hanging out or cuddling. please. he will melt from headpats and your fingers will smell like his shampoo for the rest of the day, and since you love the scent of gentle lime, why not?
˗ˏˋ ★ ˊˎ˗
gepard
~ omg this man!! he's totally giving cashmere + hot cocoa for some reason??? he doesn't really use cologne/fragrances and prefers his natural scent, but does use cashmere and vanilla body wash + shampoo.
~ like sure, after a busy day at work or training he'll kinda smell like sweat but will immediately take a shower when he gets home. he hates being sweaty and thinks it's icky if he does for too long-
~ and when you snuggle up to him for cuddle time on a day off, you just wanna stay there forever bc his scent envelops you like a blanket on freezing winter nights <3
~ overall very comforting and warm, just like Gepard himself!! (cries in human heater vibes)
˗ˏˋ ★ ˊˎ˗
jing yuan
~ musk + cinnamon + a little bit of spice, and def uses cologne.
~ actually wants to smell nice and puts in the effort!! changes his sheets, washes his clothes, showers every day (but washes his hair every 3 days or so bc haircare)
~ speaking of haircare, this man's big on it. most of his haircare products smell like the aforementioned musk and cinnamon, but he uses this one cream that smells like cloves and you freakin adore it. sometimes you borrow it so that whenever you're going out and he's busy with his big boy general duties, it feels like he's with u <3
~ and ughhhh his bedroom smells like him so whenever you guys have le cuddle time you fall asleep almost immediately. ofc he eventually does too (bc he loves how u smell too pookie, don't tell him i said that though he would kill me aksjskd) and you're so warm and soft and how could he not fall asleep??
˗ˏˋ ★ ˊˎ˗
dan heng
~ very ocean-y (salty?), small hints of eucalyptus and cypress as well. when he uses cologne he uses very, very little, but he actually has 2 separate colognes, one for the ocean-y cypress, and the other for the eucalyptus
~ i feel like this is kinda a bold statement but he uses bath bombs. like he gets a bath bomb that smells like mint, gets in the bathtub w it, and glides his thumbs over its surface bc he likes the texture-
~ he might not be the cleanest man in the universe, but he sure does smell like it!! something about eucalyptus and cypress and mint and a hint of ocean breeze is chillingly refreshing and tbh you kinda dig it :D
~ mornings w dan heng. omfg they are ethereal bc he literally smells angelic??? like a gentle freshness yk and the pillows smell like him too so lazy mornings are def a thing that you guys love sharing <3
˗ˏˋ ★ ˊˎ˗
luocha
~ oooo he's kinda a wild card imo, but personally, i think that he smells like jasmine + honey (not just bc of his idle + technique!! pinky promise)
~ he lowkey smells a little like freshly-cut grass, very light n refreshing. however, jasmine takes center stage, and if you really bury your face in his long-ass hair, you can catch a whiff of chamomile :))
~ super big on herbal teas and honey as well - i hc that he brings a water bottle w him that's just green tea n honey so when you're close to his face (cuddling, hugging, etc) the honey adds this sweetness that blends super well w the aforementioned chamomile + jasmine <3
~ like jing yuan, super involved in haircare!! he does use less products, but you still freakin adore this chamomile shampoo that he uses. avid believer in aromatherapy, prob uses essential oils (not for curing cancer ofc)
˗ˏˋ ★ ˊˎ˗
welt
~ coffee and amberwood!! both are deep and rich scents and he probably uses cologne in very small amounts aksjdks
~ coffee addict and the scent faintly lingers, so the amberwood is really more prominent, but overall i promise he doesn't smell like dust or smth, he's not that old he takes good care of himself :))
~ burns incense in his room bc it helps him relax and concentrate on his drawings, so he does have a little resin smell to him, but you don't mind bc it's actually quite comforting. he once almost caused a fire bc he dropped a lit match onto the carpet but we don't talk about that-
~ loves to hug you so whenever he does, you always feel so cozy and loved and aaaaa ya'll are so cute i can't <3 and since he's pretty tall he sometimes rests his head on top of yours and hugs you from behind like that and you melt immediately bc it's like a blanket!! but smells super nice!!

Yayyy! Vox was who I wanted to make a request for so I was thinking what if female reader is an overlord who deals with weapons that can kill sinners and hellborn. Maybe she is also an owner of a nightclub? maybe she died in the 1920s and she knew Alastor as well and maybe she’s had a crush on him but he’s not interested in her so then she goes and she dates Vox but then she catches him positioned with Val and she doesn’t know the extent how Valentino is abusing Vox so then fast forward 7 years later and they meet again because she’s helping Alastor and of course that makes Vox jealous and angry and Vox just wants her back and he’ll do anything to show her that he changed and he just wants her back. And maybe he explains how Val treated him and then a happy ending heheh. 🤭 Also maybe reader is badass and is like doesn’t need a man because she got herself but she also loves when Vox protects her? Kinda like that song on TikTok from Olivia Rodrigo that goes “I’m a feminist obviously but I wouldn’t really mind him saving me”
I'm not on tik tok a lot so I gave that song a listen and DANG she sang fast. Love the beat. Never heard anything like it
Sorry this took so long. I was having a lot of technical issues but I got them resolved.
CW: minor spoilers, swearing, suggestiveness, cheating, mentions of abuse
Tumblr media
Vox x Fem!reader
You were an overlord that was well known in hell for selling powerful weapons. You did most of your business through your night club. You did meetings in a separate room. Hell was full of some sexist scum bags and perverts and you were used to running into them occasionally. They would underestimate you and you would quickly make them regret it. Female overlords had to do that sometimes. Even though you dealt with firearms capable of killing sinners and hellborns alike, you weren't afraid to get your hands dirty and you could definitely handle yourself. A frequent visitor of your classy establishment was an old friend Alastor.
You two knew each other when you were alive and you stayed acquainted after death. He was always impressed with how tough you were and loved how you shared a love for the 1920s classy aesthetic which you used as the style of your night club. It was designed to look like an old speakeasy. And although it didn't normally serve sinners as a main dish Alastor grew rather fond of coming there. You kinda hoped it was you that he was there to see. He was handsome, and charming, and stylish and he could really make you laugh sometimes. (And blush.) He even asked you to dance sometimes but you were unsure whether that was just him being a gentleman or if he had romantic intentions. Eventually your crush on the radio demon grew hard to ignore and though you didn't wanna ruin your friendship you decided it was time to confess your feelings. He was taken back by it a bit.
You were surprised since you were getting terrible at hiding it. He told you he was not interested in that sort of thing but he valued your friendship. Of course initially you were crushed and embarrassed but you actually moved on from it faster than you expected. You decided to focus on your work though as expected you were a bit awkward around Alastor after that. So you decided to distance yourself from him a bit until you were ready. You were of course invited to overlord meetings. So when you got an invitation to meet on short notice you actually were pleased for a distraction. You had the time so you made your way there. When you arrived you found that there was few that could make it. Alastor was not even present. Oddly enough you hadn't seen him in a while. You wondered if he decided to distance himself as well. Maybe he was more bothered by it than you thought.
The only people present were Zilla who was a very large feathered Dino overlord, Carmella who usually hosted these meetings and also sold weapons, and one of the Vees... Vox actually. You weren’t very fond of the guy who was your friend's biggest rival so you tried to sit yourself far away from him. You sat next to Carmilla although you guys were competitors, you kept things civil. Unlike Alastor and Vox. She thanked you for all for coming on such short notice. The conversation was going productively despite the very few people present. It was strange though as you felt a feeling of eyes on you.
You turned to catch a certain TV headed demon staring at you. As soon as he realized he was caught he turned away quickly. You wondered if he had stared at you like that before despite how little he came to these meetings himself. He usually sent Velvette. And Valentino had never been to one as far as you knew so you knew practically nothing about him. As you were lost in thought, you ended up staring back at him. As soon as he noticed was when you snapped back into reality and embarrassedly turn your head away blushing. This gave Vox the confidence he needed. He started openly flirting with you at the meeting. you were feeling embarrassed, pissed off and a tad bit flustered. 3 things that when combined made your brain malfunction as you poorly tried to keep your cool. Your reaction only encouraged him more. Luckily the meeting ended soon after that.
As you walked down the sidewalk, you realized he was following you. He told you he had liked for a long time but never had the guts to make a move until he caught you staring today. This was an oddly vulnerable moment for him and as you looked in his eyes you saw he was sincere. you agreed to go out with him. you guys took things slow at first but it eventually became a deep and passionate relationship. He had walls that came down when it was just the two of you. His persona and exaggerated ego disappeared to reveal and sweet and humble gentleman. He could be very protective of you sometimes. Which you sorta liked. Even though you could handle yourself, you didn't mind his protective behavior. It was actually kinda hot.
though you thought it was odd that you still hadn't formally met his business partners. you didn't know much about them especially Valentino. You tried not to question it much. Both of you being overlords with businesses could sometimes make you too busy to see each other. He seemed stressed and overworked lately. So, you decided to surprise him by visiting him at work. You slipped on something nice (and slipped on something naughty underneath) and went to see him. you were he told he might be on the top floor so you took the elevator. And when the door opened... you saw Vox... underneath what you could only assume was Valentino. It didn't take you long to figure out what they were doing. You ignored Vox's pleas and attempts to stop you as you left in tears.
You devoted yourself to your work after that. Deciding you didn't need a man in your life at all. And for seven years things went well. Then one day, Alastor resurfaced. He actually showed up at your club, casually acting like he had been gone less than a day. He went and struck up a conversation with you. You tried to stay mad at him, you really did. But you missed him. And that bastard put on the charm to get in your good graces. Before you knew it you were agreeing to help him run a hotel for sinners he was working on with princess of hell. You after all owned a business yourself so you had plenty of knowledge to offer.
Your involvement with Alastor caught Vox's attention. He was already furious about Alastor's return but hearing you were working with him made his blood boil. He decided he was going to find a way to talk to you. He was going to tell you the truth. He was going to make things right.
When you went out to lunch by yourself you were caught off guard when your long time ex sat across from you. He refused to leave until you heard him out. Vox had never used his powers of hypnosis on you (as far as you knew) but you were still weary so you refused to look him in the eye as you reluctantly listened.
He told you Valentino was an extremely dangerous unstable person and was often abusive. Val knew that Vox was seeing you and was actually jealous at how much time he spent with you instead of him. He threatened to hurt you if Vox ever left him for you. And at the time, Vox didn't feel he was strong enough to protect you. He also knew that if he told you any of this that you were the type to try and pick a fight with Val. And he was afraid you would get hurt. But, he promised that this time he was going to end things with Val once and for all. His power had grown a lot recently and he believed he was strong enough now to cut off Val completely. You looked at him after hearing all this and saw the same vulnerable and sincere expression that convinced you to believe him on that first day. You agreed to give it another try but only if there were no more secrets and you guys were a team. He promised and you two embraced. You were ready now to face whatever struggles came your way together.

Hyperfocus:Ribs
NGL, this was long overdue but I have been busy as of late ^w^
I'm just sitting down, reading, a relatively often occurence. I look up as they come in, and a smile lights up my face. I wave them over, setting the book down and hugging them, then moving over on the bed so they can lay next to me, they themselves getting a novel. Life can be so chaotic, fun but wild at times. It makes these times with them, just quietly being together, enjoying each others presence, all the more precious. Of course, them being them, the silence wouldn't be forever. I feel a poke in my side, and look up, only to see them reading. Hmm. I slowly look down, and 3 minutes later, another poke. I whip my head up, and see them looking at the book, a barely contained silly smile on their face. Aha. I roll my eyes playfully, then pretend to look back down. As soon as they slowly reach out to poke my sides again, I grab their wrist, turning, straddling their wasit, and using my forearm to hold both arms above their head, on the pillows. I smirk as they struggle to pull free, but don't, and touch foreheads with them softly, whispering "New Story. This one is about the Little Lee who liked to poke the bear...The Lee with Ticklish Ribs~". My insinuation is noticed, I can tell by the small look of lee panic in their eyes. I smirk, and simply rest one hand on the left side of their ribcage, before drawling out "Now...let's see how many toys we have to play with, hmm?~". I roll their shirt up, before resting two fingers on an individual rib, "counting" it, by vibrating both fingers on the rib and moving on to the next rib as they squirm around under me. "1......2......3...4.....5....6....Dang it! You're so Squirmy! I lost count of which one I was on...guess we gotta start allllll Over!~ Try to be still this time, Darling. 1.....2....3.....4...5...6...7...8..........Ah heck, I got lost in your eyes about that. Dang. What number was I on? An 'EEHEHEHEHEIHIGHT' ? What is that? Guess we'll just restart again~". I "lose count" 3 more times, and get it right on the 6th try, then I stop, locking eyes with you, and growl out happily, my voice deepening. "I'm gonna do it again. Not because I lost count. Because I can tell you're loving this, and that's just so cute I wanna keep going forever, Sweetheart~". The Flustered Expression on their face tells me I hit the money on my Analysis of their feelings about this whole event. Good. I count the ribs one more time, Painstakingly Slowly, and then finally, I stop counting, and get up.
Oh but I'm not done.
Not by a long shot.
Instead, I tell you to wait, leaving the room for just a second before coming back with a couple of paintbrushes, and paint that's safe for their skin. I giggle evilly, then climb back on the bed, drawling out "Here's the deal, cutie. You have to keep your hands above your head, whether gripping each other, or on the bedframe, while I paint. If you can't, I'll pin you again~". I tilt my head, smiling as they lock their arms over their head, then go over, and straddle them once more, beginning to paint. I'm thorough, using a smaller brush to get in between each rib. My concentration is pure, but not enough to not notice how hard they're trying to keep still for me, which I note on: "Awwwww, you're doing such a good job Baby!~ Being nice and still for me...guess you still like this, huh?~". I wink at them, both of us knowing full well that you loving it was the entire reason I do this. After about 3-5 minutes I finish painting, then raise a washrag, giggling as I begin to scrub the paint off, wiggling my fingers through the rag, and watching them stop holding their arms above their head, cooing "Calm down baby we've gotta get you clean!~". When done, I grin at them then say slowly, softly "There we go...clean enough to eat~". I chuckle when I see their eyes widen, and before they can stop me, I start nomming their ribs gently. I do this for 2 minutes, then, scrub them off AGAIN, and finally, pull you into a hug, stroking their back gently. After a while, we get back to reading, and it's like nothing happened.
Except for the blush on their face.
And the warm smile on mine.

Cosmere Characters: Would They Be Fun To Take A Road Trip With?
[Main spoiler is for Way of Kings! Oddly enough. Some spoilers for Stormlight as a whole.]
You're planning a road trip, and you want to bring a Cosmere character with you! You know, as one does. But would the following Cosmere characters actually be a good road trip buddy?
1. Dalinar: Yes
Dalinar's whole dang philosophy is that it's the journey that matters. He'd be stopping at interesting roadside attractions, enjoying good food, watching sunsets, and generally enjoying the trip. What a great person to have on your road trip with you!
2. Adolin: Yes
We saw road-trip-Adolin in Shadesmar--he's great! Organized, interested in making sure everyone is doing well, good conversationalist. You'll have a great time.
3. Kaladin: Depends
To be fair it was a stressful situation, but when Kaladin and Shallan "road tripped" through the chasms, he basically just marched off with his long Alethi legs and left her to scramble along behind him. I feel like that's equivalent to, like, being really particular about the radio or something. Plus, he totally thinks he knows the way and ain't asking for directions. On the other hand, if Kaladin has warmed up to you, then I think he'd be an okay travel buddy. He'll definitely pull you out of the flaming wreckage when the trip inevitably turns into some sort of dramatic life-or-death situation, at least!
4. Vasher: No
You're like, "Oh look! That town has the country's largest cow statue! Wanna stop and take a look?" and he's like, "No." It's the first time he's spoken in 45 minutes.
5. Tress: Yes
By the of her book, Tress is all about adventure and she's a literal delight to everyone on the ship. Plus, if your tire got flat or something, Tress would absolutely learn how to change a tire on the fly and get you back on the road.
6. Teft: No
Teft will fight to his dying breath to protect you, but I do not think he'd be fun to sit in the car with for eight hours a day. He'd be a grumbler, I think.
7. Kabsal: Yes
He'd bring amazing car snacks, potentially homemade ones. He seemed like a good conversationalist too. Now it's true, he might try to assassinate you or inconveniently fall in love with you--or both!--but, like, the rest of the road trip will be lots of fun.
8. Navani: Depends on the type of road trip
Navani would, I think, make for a very organized road trip buddy. If you're trying to get somewhere on a time table, Navani would be great. You WILL be up at 8:00am and you WILL get to your destination on time and in one piece. But if you're hoping to, like, chill out and enjoy the scenery casually, then maybe not so much.
9. Elend: No
Elend is great 'n' all, but has a plan of his ever worked out in his life? There's gonna be a huge traffic jam caused by, like, political sabotage or something. And all of his books on tape are about philosophy, too.
10. Mare: Yes
She's definitely a "cow! cow!" type person, I think.
11. Eshonai: Hell yeah
Eshonai loves to travel and is delighted to meet new people. She's going to get chatting with some fruit vendor and the next thing you know, you've both been invited to dinner and are about to have the absolute best homecooked meal of your life.
12. Raoden: Yes
I feel like Raoden is very likable and cares a lot about how the people around him are doing. He'd make sure you had a good time and would be very thoughtful.
13. Lirin: Depends on whether Hesina is coming too
I feel like on his own, Lirin would be a very...stressed road trip buddy. Concerned about the speed limit, about not being too unhealthy, about doing the road trip right. But if Hesina were there, I think he'd be able to chill out a lot more. Because Hesina would want the trip to be fun, and I think Lirin would let it be fun with her around.
14. Lezian: Hell no
The FIRST person who cuts him off in traffic is gonna spark so much road rage in Lezian. Now you're weaving erratically through traffic in pursuit of that truck he's mad at, and you're only like 30 minutes into the trip.
15. Raboniel: Well...
At first she was like, "I am the driver here. You will address me only as the Lady of Roads and will know your place" and you were like, "Wow. This is going to be the worst trip of my life." But by the end, the two of you are singing together and crying for some reason, and now you think she might be your soulmate.
So...50/50?

I wanna start doing lists/rankings. I doubt anyone will wanna see them, but it's for me, so that's fine.
If anyone does wanna see. Some might have spoilers (like this one), so look out for that.
Anywhoo...
MY TOP 10 FAVORITE STRAWHATS
10 Sanji. I don't hate Sanji per se, as whenever he's not being weird around women, I actually like him. The problem is when he's around women. I don't like it. Stop it. Stahp. That being said at least he's cool when he's not around women and his genuine relationships with his crew and Zeff make me happy. I love his rivalry with Zoro
9. Usopp. Oh boy. I HATED him as a kid. I'm still not the biggest fan of him now, either. But he's... fine, and at least he gets better as the show progresses. He does get braver and less cowardly. But I still hate how much of a wuss and braggart he is. Also... his luck annoys me at times, but at least it comes in handy
8. Chopper. He was once one of my favorite straw hats, but as I got older, his naivity and gullibility started irking me. His "We need a doctor " joke was never funny to me either. He's still AWESOME. Don't get me wrong, all the straw hats are. I know my complaints about Usopp and Sanji may make anyone think i think otherwise, but i do geniounly like all the straw hats as characters. But those irks about Chopper are why he's so low. That being said, he's still a great character, and I love how compassionate he is about being a doctor. He's also adorable. I want to hug him.
7. Luffy. He's awesome! I just like the others more, sorry Luffy...I truly hate to put you this low. He's everything I love in an anime protagonist. Stubborn, brave, determined to protect those he loves. He can be smart when he needs to be and is so dang cool. Luffy is one of the best anime protagonists of all time, and I can't wait for him to be king.
6. Zoro. I love that he's not just a badass. He's also kinda dumb, and it makes him more endearing. But he's also still badass and super loyal. Amazing character, feck yeah. His directions gag is pretty funny, too. I also love the idea of three sword styles, and he actually makes it super cool.
5. Franky. Reverse chopper, he used to be one of my least favorites. But my God is he so FUNNY. He is easily the funniest character, in my opinion. He's also super epic, and I love his take on masculinity and how sensitive he is. I will say, tho...not a big fan of his redesign. I also love that he refuses to wear pants. Overall, great character.
4. Nami. She is so awesome. From day one, she was epic and I love that for the most part, she isn't a Damsel in distress. Her take on Fishmen despite what happened to her makes me respect the hell out of her. She's so strong and brave and even kind. She may be greedy, but it makes a lot of sense. Easily one of the best characters.
3. Brook. Look...I may not like his panty thing, but at least it's over fast and isn't as cringy as Sanji's thing. That being said... I admit I'm biased. I tend to like skeleton characters because I think they're cool. And well...Brook is no exception. He's a gentleman, a musician, and has skull jokes! There's so much to like about him!
2. Robin. She's my 2nd favorite character in the whole show. She's so intelligent and mysterious and super freaking cool! I love how she slowly starts to trust the straw hats and build bonds with them. Her character arc is my favorite in the entire show. I cannot stress how much I ADORE her. Amazing character. I will fight anyone on this.
1. Jinbe. Best character in the show, but it's close between him and Robin. Again,... some bias, as I think he's attractive. But I genuinely like him as a character, too. Fishmen are my favorite species in one piece, and I tend to like tackles of racism in media as a species. I liked this about the faunus in RWBY, too. Jinbe is a badass. He's funny and oh so huggable. Oh, and I love how he acts like a gentleman. So polite and well spoken. He's just...so damn cool, too. Love him. I love him so much
TIER LIST TIME
C Tier, lowest to highest: Sanji, Usopp, Chopper
B Tier: Luffy, Zoro, Franky
A Tier: Nami, Brook
S Tier: Robin, Jinbe

Roasting the Yugioh rivals' hair
Haven't done this in a while, time to roast more characters, going from least absurd hair to most absurd hair. (For the record, I like all these characters at least a bit so take this with a grain of salt, I went really in on some of them)
1 Seto Kaiba
Tumblr media
All the money in the world from stealing your rich daddy's company and you still can't find time to make your hair look different from a depressed Kuriboh?
2 Jack Atlas
Tumblr media
Dang, that cheese looks good enough to eat. Mind cutting me a slice? Hey! Can you hear me? Oh shoot, he's wearing earbuds! He can't hear me!
3 Jun Manjome
Tumblr media
So what's it like having a giant dancing emo spider on your head? Blends in well with the rest of your emo suit. Your aesthetic crashes and burns like the thunder you name yourself after :)
4 Roa Kirishima
Tumblr media
For a jerky self-absorbed diva boy who hogs the spotlight, your hair is surprisingly underwhelming. I mean come on, only one bland colour? No accessories? How do people even see you onstage? I guess it looks like a malformed star if you squint?
5 Reiji/Declan Akaba
Tumblr media
Damn, going gray at 16? Illegally drafting yourself and other younger children into war must do a number on the psyche. And how do you find time to style it like the diamond studded swimming pool you likely own when you're in the middle of this war?
6 Ryoken Kogami
Tumblr media
Oh you wanna know if I like your hair? Wouldn't you like to know, marshmallow boy. Maybe quit styling it like a sloppy white Christmas tree with cat ears and maybe I'll take you seriously.
7 Zwijo Zir Velgear
Tumblr media
Hey uh, you wanna stop growing your hair out? Think you've got enough now? Your hair is so long I had to get an awkwardly cropped image to properly show it off. Are you trying to be the alien general version of Rapunzel? Or does your hair have a mind of its own and that's why parts of it are sticking out like hungry yellow and purple snakes?
8 Kaito Tenjo
Tumblr media
Styling your hair like a crown doesn't make you a king, unless you're the king of being a douche nozzle obsessed with dragons. Though really, with that pointy top, you look more like an angery fairy than a dragon.
9 Revolver 2.0
Tumblr media
Rev, this is worse. You get that, right? You could have made your hair look however you wanted, without the limitations of the real world, and you chose to look like a gun toting old man in a shitty superhero costume with pointy rocks protruding from his head? And what is going on with those red spikes? Do you eat your marshmallow hot dogs so sloppily that the ketchup from them got on your ears? Chill out and go get stoned or something, good god.
10: Revolver 1.0
Tumblr media
......jeez dude how much ketchup do you get on those hot dogs? And why'd it take you more than a whole season to wash it all out?

Tumblr media
I dunno who Simoun dedicated this, but... HELP ME CUZ DANG TUMBLR EL NOLI FANDOM WILL MAKE ME THINK ABOUT ELIBARRA-
Sorry for the caps, but like. I need Basilio's last name XD
not me taking the time to answer this when i have classes in like 7 hours from now and i still have not slept— (blame rizal & his stupid stupid book (affectionate, revering))
chapter 7 my absolute beloved!! this banger of a chapter is still one of my most favorites even now – i have so many Thoughts™ over this chapter it's making me absolutely insaaaane like. these bitches be going back and forth making good points occasionally. and emphasis on occasionally bc,, god,,, their other arguments,,,,,, garbage. shut up. both of you.
1. Ibarra is a BUG that should be SQUASHED on sight. i will throw him on a garbage disposal. we all should. (i say, knowing full well i have a history of ranting to my friends about how sad i get over him)
2. hdghjvfjhd pls this is so funny to me like,, sim 🤝 that superman guy i forgot the name of. it's all in ze ✨glasses✨
3. goDDD simoun was such a boomer in it too like,,, you kids 🙄 chasing butterflies and being all innocent 🙄 when you should be planting b0mbs in celebrations like a REAL MAN 🙄🙄 smh smh. bro would be the equivalent of boomers in our time being like 'oh. OUR generation endured abuse from our parents and teachers and that's why we're disciplined and tough. you kids are WEAKLINGS, that's why you're all undisciplined and unprepared for life.' (<- me typing this up, horrified but laughing over the realization that simoun would unironically support ROTC & the other useless, nonsensical programs & plans of our government for our educational system rn SJGHDHBHDV)
4. yeah!! poor basi's just trying to study man 😞 can u imagine tho a debate between sim & isagani….glorious (also bc 'gani is like. the elias of el fili. both of these mfs threw hands with friars and other powerful figures.)
(isagani once he hears the first bullshit argument from simoun:
Tumblr media
5. IK LIKE??? BRO CHILL LMFAOOOO that was such a batshit insane confession but what were we expecting from a tyrant and a fascist
6. oh..you know full well who the noble soul he's referring to… 👀 /lh jkjk but yeah he was referring to his dad in the first two sentences, and the noble soul is elias,,, whose spirit is probably there screaming at simoun's face throughout this whole monologue, throughout the whole chapter (and throughout the whole book tbh)
no apologies needed, you're always welcome to scream with me over all this (sorry for my late replies tho) ^^ and as for basi's last name…*grabs a shovel and heads over to luneta* /j

Our skyy 2- Wrap Up
Since this is an anthology and I, being the simp that I am, have watched all of the original shows, I thought it'd be fun to rank all the episodes.
The thing is, even though I have watched all of the shows, my opinion on these episodes are very reliant on my opinions of the original show as well. Meaning if I loved the original show and the our skyy episode was meh, it might be ranked lower than shows I didn't feel so highly about, but the our skyy episode delivered. Anywho-
7. Sky in your heart (ep 3-4)
Tumblr media
Tbh I wasn't the biggest fan of the original show, but this episode was very in tone with said show. It was overall, cute. The greenflags were greening with the communication and lack of jealousy. You go boys! Live your happiest life.
But I did miss the other pair of the show (idk if you can technically count it as this show since they were two 7 episode series, but I would have liked to see even a cameo from them). Good vibes. I liked it.
(what i didn't like in a side note is the chunky ring design)
6. My school president (ep 9-10)
Tumblr media
To anyone who hasn't already, you havvvveee to go watch the original show. It is so sweet it will give you diabetes. And I loved the concept of this episode.
As a fanfic author I was mostly here for the validation that all our headcanons are canon. But, it felt like a highlight reel with roles reversed. Which is interesting but 2 episodes wasn't enough time to develop that story.
For what they attempted they did aight! I kinda wish we got something more post canon in their universe, happy cute boyfriends™, but yk. It's okay. More Fourth and Gemini always makes me happy. Plus the cast seemed to have fun filming it if the behind the scenes are any indication.
5. A boss and a babe (ep 11-12)
Tumblr media
Listen, half the excitement of our skyy is missing these characters. So it was surely a choice by gmm to time this episode riiiighhhttt after the finale of the show.
That being said, this episode was pretty dang fun. Am I still mourning the loss of multiple unresolved storylines from the show they set up and literally forgot about- yes (Drake, you deserved better🤧). But considering our skyy 2 is the biggest "who took my FANFIC out of ao3 and into YouTube" plot ever, I'll overlook it.
This episode managed to do what neither enchanté nor abaab did- show me the appeal of forcebook. They are very cute in light-hearted settings. I'm yet to see them thrive in the drama, but only friends is happening soon... Soooooo
4. Never Let Me Go (ep 1-2)
Tumblr media
Now thiss was a perfect soulmates AU for TV (or YouTube in this case) if I've ever seen one. We got the time travel, the drama, the classism all wrapped in a ball of all fluff and no angst. They understood the assignment.
Again. I missed my second couple (I am Perth Stan, I can't help myself. The 6 of us who demanded justice for Chopper, I see you!) But I didn't miss them too much, coz the premise was fun.
(I also loved the house set that they had!! I wanna go visit it if it's real!)
3. The Eclipse (ep 5-6)
Tumblr media
These two episodes are single-handedly responsible for increasing the average number of kisses in Our Skyy. I wasn't even expecting this many? Even if it was basically just prep for Khao and First in Only friends, I'm still here for it.
It was also surprisingly an episode that caused a lot of debate about Akk and/or Ayan being out of character, which I didn't expect, but have my opinions on.
But overall, it was an extremely sweet episode with political and social commentary that the show had, but commentary lite. The locations were fantastic! I honestly just want more First and Khao in everything, please and thank you.
2. Bad Buddy x A Tale of a Thousand Stars (ep 13-16)
(please don't kill me)
Tumblr media
Speaking of who took my fanfic out of ao3, OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. I knewwww we can trust in P'Aof for delivering a story. BUT DID I EXPECT HIM TO PUT ALL MY FAVS IN THE SAME SCREEN AT THE SAME TIME???? What great times we're living in *sighs in bl*.
Tumblr media
Watching EarthMix slip back into phuphatian was a pleasure. Ohm and Nanon are sooo awesome! I missed Pat and Pran so much. The crossover could have easily gone into the forced-for-fanservice territory, but they had a plot for it!🤌🏼
They brought back characters that felt like home. Even the conflicts were so lived in. It is self aware in what small things can blow out of proportion.
Watching Pat and Pran in their college years hiding their relationship after reading countless fanfics about it- just, tears. Thanks! I love them. I missed them. I'm living for this. I see why this was at the end. Worth all the hype and more.
Still screaming about this, and have been for two weeks. Will keep you updated on when or if I stop.
Buuuut the reason I didn't rank this at the top is because we didn't get enough bad buddy in the crossover. I loved both the shows, but i feel like pat pran were slightly overshadowed. I was lowkey cringing by the end too with the second atots recreation of the series!? Oh god. But we got a proposal! And the confirmation it's an open secret?!? And whatever tf it was that korn and wai were doing backstage🤡. So it was almost in the number one spot, it's just that I preferred my actual number one spot episode more.
1. Vice Versa (ep 7-8)
Tumblr media
Did I expect vice versa to be this high on my list, nope. Did I fall and virtually adopt this kid as soon as he came on screen... Maybe👀. Are Jimmy and Sea climbing up on my couples i can't wait to see more of this yes- also maybe.
Tumblr media
But even otherwise, I think this episode had the most solid and cohesive storyline. Everyone felt familiar and acted in character. They even wrapped up the whole random-kid-showed-up-at-our-front-door plot surprisingly well. Like if you watched the episode, they left very clear hints.
They even kept the colour theme (even though multi colour isn't technically a colour, would have gone with white or black maybe, but that's just me).
I did not expect this to be my number 1. Actually, i was barely even looking forward to this episode. But it was a pleasant surprise.
And I was shooketh, considering my biggest complaint about the original show was that they left too many threads loose.
Jimmy and Sea were so good! Got me even more excited to see them in Last Twilight (in P'Aof we trust).
***
Now that that is over (and if you're reading this far) can we talk about how many birthday plots there were??? I feel like every other week there was a birthday. Just confused about it, that's all.

Tumblr media
It ain't quite my cup of tea in many ways but now that I've played Metal Gear Solid 1 to the end I can absolutely "get" the cultural impact it had. For 1998 (Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye 007, FF7) this game goes full ham, no doubt people's minds were blown at the time.
In many ways, I think you can argue it laid the blueprint in no uncertain terms for how big budget single player games in the PS2 and especially PS3/4 era would be structured/paced and dole out their story. I'm sure it wasn't the first but on this scale w/ these production values, if you combine things Ocarina of Time did and things this game does, you essentially get the framework that is still being used today in many major blockbuster games.
Both have awkward aspects of how they control and even how they play but those rough edges have gotten smoothed out over the years.
But yea, I mean, I can see why MGS is cited alongside Ocarina of Time, and Final Fantasy 7 in the same year as well, for being historically really dang important in the sense of its influence on the medium.
Still wouldn't consider myself a Kojima fan in the technical sense, though lol
It's more like, I appreciate his influence and can respect the craft, and am interested in continuing to explore his body of work for the culture, as well as the ways he makes meta commentary about art and politics in his narratives, and the beauty of seeing entire teams of people rally behind his vision to give it life.
But maaaan does his storytelling sensibilities and some of his game design make me wanna roll my head off of my neck, while simultaneously doing certain specific things that are super clever.
It's that precise kind of bold inconsistency that I think is inherent to art driven by a singular human vision, something no amount of algorithmic congealing can accomplish (at least not yet).

The Prince of Thieves: Finale I - The Inn
Tumblr media
Mood Boards | Chapter Titles | Also on A03! | Playlist | Story Intro
Warnings: uhhh...baby spit-up?, vague mention of someone dying?
Previous | Masterlist | Next
✨ Did you come here from Chapter 49? There are two bonus chapters that come between 49 and 50:
💚 Box in Your Heart (Colette and Will)
🍂 Are You Nobody, Too? (Bree and Henry)
Word count: 1590 || Approx reading time: 7 mins
If you normally read on Ao3, the whole dang Chapter 50 (in all its obscene-word-count glory) will go up on Thursday like usual. If you wanna read it in its three parts, keep an eye on Tumblr.
If you normally read on Tumblr but would rather read the whole freakin thing in one fell swoop, Thursday is your day. :)
Part 1: The Inn
Teaser: The innkeepers called her Lucy, and they certainly had no reason to suspect that it might not be her name at all.
The well-travelled road that connected the harbour towns to the inland ones was dotted with villages, and in these villages, one could always find a place to spend the night. Even in the throes of winter, when the winds howled most violently and the snows sometimes blocked the road entirely, inns and taverns were chock-full, brimming with customers, spilling from the seams with road-worn travellers and familiar locals seeking food, wine, and the company of others.
In one such inn, nestled in a cozy town that had been built up perfectly midway between the city and the great lake to which so many tourists flocked in the summer, as a deep snow fell beyond the steamy glass windows, a girl was working. She was bone-weary most days, and just a bit shabbier than the other inn girl, but she smiled at her patrons nonetheless. It was a winning smile, coy when it needed to be, shy sometimes, wide and beaming at others. The innkeeper, a widow who split her managerial duties with a dear friend who shared her lodgings on the top floor, had never seen any reason to suspect that there was anything strange about the girl. They didn’t mind that she was often quiet; in fact, they rather preferred it. They’d noticed her slap away a few too-bold gentlemen a few times in the months since she’d come to them looking for a job, but that hadn’t caused any trouble so far, and as they figured, many a young woman would do the same if a handsy customer forgot himself when he was a bit too deep in his cups.
The innkeepers called her Lucy, and they certainly had no reason to suspect that it might not be her name at all.
On this night, as the dinner rush roared to life, raucous and frenzied, keeping the girls running without a moment’s rest, as the innkeeper and her dear friend barked orders and roasted chicken and boiled potatoes and kept watchful eyes over the dining room, and as the snow that had been falling steadily throughout the day finally began to wane in its onslaught against the frozen earth, the girl whose name was not Lucy was run ragged. The table in the corner demanded more beer; the family by the window had an infant who had just spit up onto the floor, and while she thought the child to be a charming little thing, he had just increased her workload significantly, for she did not know where there was even a clean towel to be found; and a little boy had just darted gleefully in front of her as he raced around the room, very nearly causing her to spill a glass of wine down the front of her dress.
The girl, whose name was not Lucy but Breanna, and who preferred to be called Bree when she wasn’t telling people to call her Lucy, gave herself a single moment to feel proud that she had managed not to soak herself in blood-red wine before she hurried to the customer who awaited the drink, an old man who appeared to her eyes to be well on his way to one hundred.
The old man thanked her quietly as he accepted the wine, slipping an extra coin into her palm before she scurried away to help the family by the window. The girl whose name he did not remember most days reminded him of his daughter who had died many years ago. He liked to see her smile. Sometimes, however, he thought that she looked sad, when she was behind the bar, facing away from the innkeeper and the woman who was not her wife, when the room was quieter and less hectic, when she seemed to believe no one was looking. The old man never asked the girl if she held anguish in her heart. He merely hoped it was his failing eyes and the poor light from the fire and the lamps that made her look so sorrowful.
So intent was the girl no one called Bree on finding a clean towel—desperate to avoid using her own apron to assist the harried-looking mother with her child—that she did not notice a shadow pass by the window, heralding the arrival of yet another group of guests.
“I’ll find you something,” she promised the mother, who nodded gratefully while the child flung his arms into the air and caught his father on the chin with his fist.
“Check the crate below the stairs!” Calling a suggestion of where she might find a towel, the other inn girl gave Bree’s hand a squeeze as they passed each other, the other arm wholly occupied as she carried a steaming bowl of soup to the boy who had nearly spilled the old man’s wine mere minutes before. It was his second bowl of soup; he had knocked the first one to the floor in a fit of excitement over a story his older sister was telling, and while the innkeeper had initially insisted that the family must pay full price for the second bowl, she’d capitulated when the boy had fixed her with a wide green gaze and given her a gap-toothed grin, and she and the sister had agreed that half-price would do instead.
Bree unlatched the stair-cupboard door, found the crate in question, and rummaged around until she found a stack of ratty but mostly clean cloth. Murmuring a few words of exhausted gratitude coloured with near-silent expletives, she scrambled back to her feet. She took only a moment to appreciate the delightful solitude and relative quiet of the cupboard before she hurried back out into the chaos. The mother accepted the towel gratefully, just in time, as her young son repeated his unsavoury activity from earlier, this time across her shoulder.
Ducking her head to hide an expression that was equal parts amusement and disgust, Bree wiped away the offending substance with her shoe, pinching the soiled towel with two fingers as she hurried to the back to dispose of it.
The other girl, who asked others to call her Victoria and who had no reason to do otherwise as she was indeed named Victoria, smiled broadly and welcomed the group who stumbled in from outside. She bit back a sigh—a group of five, they were, and she was already anticipating the headache it would be to squeeze them in somewhere—but she consoled herself that they were young and pleasant-looking and four of the five were rather handsome fellows who might leave a few extra coins upon the table if she beamed and winked and giggled just so. How striking, she thought, was the melting snow against the coppery-brown hair of two who might have been brothers and the dark beards of the pale, fidgety man and the astoundingly tall one behind him.
Victoria let her gaze rove around the room, searching for a place to seat them but also for her colleague, intending to whisper conspiratorially the next time they brushed elbows, “Have you seen those fine gentlemen who just came in?”
Bree was, in fact, right then returning from the back room, her hands now clean, still dripping water onto the floor. As she noticed the group that had just entered, her footsteps faltered and came to an abrupt stop. Her eyes grew wide; her cheeks grew wan. The old man drinking wine heard her cry out softly in surprise.
Victoria did not hear it, but she gaped in confusion as her friend staggered backwards, face now ghostly white, and then vanished back through the door through which she’d just entered.
“What is wrong with that girl?” the innkeeper demanded. Nothing escaped her eyes or ears. “Where does she think she’s going?”
“I—I think she must be quite ill,” stammered Victoria, unsure of how to answer. “Shall I check on her?”
“No. If she’s ill, we don’t want her anywhere near the guests. You’ll just have to move a little quicker till it calms down in here. Now chop-chop. I’ll come help you when I can.”
Sighing loudly and this time not even attempting to hide it, Victoria hurried across the room to bring the new group to their table.
The young man who had just entered, whose hair did not know if it was red or brown, whose face was sprinkled with freckles and whose body was sprinkled with scars, whose hands were busy brushing the last dregs of snow from his coat, felt a shiver run down his spine. Suddenly, though he did not know from where this feeling struck him, he was quite certain something had happened that he should have seen but had been too distracted to notice. When he looked around the room, however, he saw nothing but merry travellers and piping hot plates of food and frothy pints of beer and the smile of the bargirl who approached to direct them to their table.
At the back of the inn, clothed in nothing but her dress and apron, the girl whose secret was suddenly in great peril clung to the wooden doorway, gasping in the frigid night air, tears freezing to crystals of ice upon her lashes. For she knew that group who had just come in for a meal, knew their faces and their names and their past. This was not what frightened her.
Breanna Cooper knew that group, and worst of all, she knew they knew her, too.

Growing up, my sibling got all the "screens". Aka the "babysitter" since my sibling wouldn't run away without it, nor go anywhere once distracted. (SOUND FAMILIAR??)
However, I felt very jealous over my sibling. They got a TV, tablet, computer, and a phone. I wasn't allowed any of it.
I was told that it was more important that they have it for a form of communication. Yet, they downloaded video games onto the screens that weren't for screen communication. Litterly could do anything they wanted!!
And if i touched it, you dang well know that I was in crap.
Well. It wasn't till I was 13, that I actually got my first phone.
Well, you wanna know something? I'm sorta glad now that my parents never gave me screens at a young age that they gave my sibling.
"Dont sit too close to the TV, it will kill your eyes." Welp- they weren't lying.
I kid you not. My sibling is BLIND. Almost 20 years of chronic screen time.
"Oh Allison, your gonna go blind if you become diabetic"
MY SIBLING IS SKINNIER THAN ME AND BLIND!! ALSO WHAT ABOUT 24/7 SCREENTIME AT A YOUNG AGE?!
Im sorry, but in my opinion kids don't need them all the time. Its now a "requirement" for all younger kids.
And if your getting screens DONT GIVE IT TO THEM SO YOUNG.
Gee- i feel like a Facebook mom
And one of those 2018 hated child roleplays- 😅
I swear I'm only 17-

The Guardiana Magic School Run - Part 7
Tumblr media
Well, here goes nothing.
Tumblr media
Dang, that bonus is tight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mishaela's children start annoyingly close to us, and I think they also poison? I'm hoping Max and Gong can still tank things at this point, but I can't check the enemies' attack stat before hitting them at least once. Bats will be coming from the other side very fast as well, as bats do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't know why I worry.
Tumblr media
Except I do, they have 18 attack and Max has 17 defense, so I think we're on the limit of what Max gets scratch damage from, the Dire Clowns should be a bigger worry. Also look at that chonky magic res, the mages will not have a good time here.
Gong gets a lucky double hit and this thing drops a Medical Herb, I am once again calling out how wack drops have been through this run. I didn't even know this many enemies could drop things.
Tumblr media
Thankfully the Mannequins are very slow so not only do I manage to beat them up before they ever act again but I also get to give the kills to Anri and Arthur who need exp the most. Now as usual we have bats to deal with and I'm wondering if I can split the team. Anri and Tao will be basically useless on stage as the enemies will have huge magic resistance, so these bats are their main chance at training. Arthur also can't do much up there because anything will wreck him, and I bet the clowns at least have enough defense to shrug his little spear off.
At the same time none of these characters can take a hit to save their lives, so I'm worried even though the bats are kind of outclassed by now. Guess I'll spare Gong to look out for them and hope I don't miss him up there for a while. Not like they'll take too long, the mage can easily take one bat down per turn, and if they don't dodge Arthur should be able to get good hits in as well. Gong also still have the Rousing Ring. To prove that there's nothing to worry about, he one hit kills a bat as soon as I send him there.
The mage duo destroy one bat in the turn as expected and Anri levels up to learn her signature Freeze spell. Not useful in this chapter as I said, but its time will come.
Tumblr media
The goddamn bat ruins my training plans because it only has eyes for Max. I don't think it even has eyes to begin with, but for Max it would gain some.
I'm still gonna try saving it for the mages and Arthur, but I don't think Anri can reach this turn.
Tumblr media
These other children of Mishaela however have Freeze level 1 which is an extra pain to think about, but Max should be able to tank them. Especially if the third one take its time coming.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Again why do I even worry about this man.
Tumblr media
GOD this bat sucks though. Now if I send Arthur after it he'll be in range of the puppets. The puppets are likely going for Max though, but I don't wanna risk it.
Tao hits the bat but Anri can't reach, Khris heals Max from a Freeze he took to the face, of course the puppets went after him.
Tumblr media
Lowe finally puts the Doll Hater to good use and gets the level up for Heal 2.
Tumblr media
Also did you see this coming? I saw this coming a while ago. Why didn't I give him the Rousing Ring again. Why do I expect enemies to hit someone else. At least Arthur gets a kill and some exp.
Tumblr media
It's turn 6 and these are the only enemies left, if it weren't the Marionette maybe I'd feel optimistic. At least Max refuses to sleep for any time more than he is forced to.
Tumblr media
Turn 7. The Marionette moves right after Gong while the Dire Clowns are last, so I'm hoping he can take a Freeze and get healed by someone. Unfortunately there's a chance the clowns counter I think.
Tumblr media
It's also tragic to see him hit for a third of the enemy's HP when he was one punch man just a battle ago.
Tumblr media
That chonky level up means he's mad about it too.
Tumblr media
D:<
I HATE THIS BATTLE
no one can take that! no amount of Charm Rings can help anyone take that! And it's an area spell! Why does a beginning enemy has a level 4 spell???
aaaaaaarghh. It's always Gong too.
Turn 8 already, no way in hell I'm getting the bonus. I doubt even a rush of Max + Doll Hater would get rid of the Marionette in a single turn, and without eliminating the clowns someone will die for sure. I didn't even advance anyone last turn because no one except Max has any chance of approaching now.
Tumblr media
God he hits hard though, he's so ridiculous compared to everyone else.
Tumblr media
hmm. I realize my mistake too late though. I sent Gong after the clown back there because he was faster than the Marionette, so if he survived the hit he could be healed before the clowns moved.
Max isn't, he's right after the Marionette. He's gonna get hit by the remaining clown and the boss in succession.
Maaaaaaaybe he can tank it but brace yourselves for first loss of the run.
Arthur picks up some coins in a chest just to feel something before going to hide in a hole or something, there's nothing he can do here.
Tumblr media
THE CLOWN DIDN'T MOVE I LIVE
also i might be messing up the math here but. Max has 32% magic resistance, so I assume the spell is doing 68% of its base damage, which means the base damage is at most 17, as 68% of 18 is more than 12, and Max took only 11 damage. But Gong had at least 9% of magic resistance last time I checked and that would be enough to drop that 17 down, yet he took 17 damage. There's something wack about this.
Pointing that out does not help me win, but this is a school so it's important to off on tangents from time to time in hopes class reaches an end faster. Unfortunately here the fast way would be to die.
Tumblr media
Max cannot finish that clown alone because he likes it too much. Tao has as much magic resistance as him, so I'm hoping that even if the Marionette aims at her she'll take the same 11 damage and survive. If the Marionette decides for a physical attack I'm dead. Also the clown has freaking 50% resistance so she might not even kill them but I have to try.
Tumblr media
Blaze 2 barely makes it, anything weaker wouldn't.
Anri also opens a chest to feel something (it's a Steel Arrow) and joins Arthur in the "loser with less than 12 HP" corner. Sorry fellas I promise next battle is better for you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Khris heals Max and gets a nice level up as reward. Lowe needs to start on some doll hating but I'd rather wait until the Marionette's next action has gone by. That will happen in the next reblog because i'm running out of images per tumblr post.

while I was drawing a pic of a younger frederick, I just got an idea for an au where basically, leland brings the plaid brothers out to the shipping docks to explain to them how it all works and why its important to the plaid kingdom.
Blaine is 7, Lance is 6, Frederick is 5. and at the end of their little trip there, frederick (being as small as he is) slips away because, well, he likes ships and he's not too keen on all the eyes that seem to be on him. he ends up accidently getting on a ship set to go to the pastel kingdom.
he's scared, crying gently bc he doesn't want to be found in case he'll get in trouble with his dad, and when the ship hits land, he follows one of the shipmates to the pastel kingdom. he chases as fast as he can (his footsteps remaining soft, though, cause he doesn't wanna get in trouble) but he ends up getting lost.
just as he's about bawl (even though dad hates it, it makes him feel better and right now, he really wants to feel better), he hears a gasp. and staring up at him, is miss agatha, who was just about to leave the castle to go home. she, voice trembling, asks him a million questions and he barely even answers.
mumbling to herself, she goes, "dang it. that's no way to talk to a child, you know that, agatha..." and, louder, to him, she smiles, a strained one, and says, "do you have a family? where's you family?"
he lies. "I don't have one." he puts on the face Laverne makes when she really, really wants something and needs to act cute in order to get it. "im," he pauses, trying to find the words. blaine's adviser (teacher or something, he doesn't really know) told him a bunch of stuff about problems in the kingdom. he tries to find one that'll make his situation a bit sadder. or maybe find an explanation for this all. "i don't have a kitchen."
the woman blinks.
frederick's never been good with lying. he hates it, he really does.
"or a sink. or a bathroom. or... or, um, a table. or a bedroom."
"you're homeless?" thats what she makes of it. he doesn't correct her, because he doesn't know what any of this means.
he nods.
he's immediately scooped into arms that feel warm to the touch. "oh, no," she mutters. she looks like something terrible just happened. "im- well-" she's about to put him down, but frederick clings to her like he's a baby again.
"can I stay with you?" he asks in his littlest voice. he's not pretending when he tucks his head into her shoulder, looking down at the floor.
he doesn't know her but, somehow, she feels a lot better than the family he's got.
miss agatha melts.
"fine," she says after a moment of hesitation. "but only for a while. we need to know where you-"
"don't know nobody," frederick mumbles.
"i can't take a, what, toddler? from- it's not-"
"not a toddler," frederick interrupts again. he knows its rude. he doesn't know why she hasn't told him off yet.
"you're not?" she sounds like she doesn't believe him. "you're too small."
he can't help but pout. "that's cause I'm always sick," he tells her the reason he's always been told.
he feels a bit fuzzy. like he's just woken up from a nap. maybe its cause he really likes to be carried. maybe its cause he can't remember last time he wa being comforted like this.
miss agatha holds him a little tighter. "well, that won't do." she cradles him for a moment. shes walking somewhere, hopefully home. deep in thought, it seems, too, cause she barely is saying anything except low whispers he can't hear. "say, do you like books?"
frederick's nearly fallen asleep by then. still, he managed to reply, shyly, "i like books. stories 'nd stuff."
a door opens.
frederick sees her backyard, grass cut in a way thats almost perfect, overgrown flowers, the glow of the other homes' lights.
he can't help but wonder if this is what's gonna be his new life.
or,
frederick and miss agatha meet. adoption ensues.
miss agatha's just happy to have somebody who likes to learn.
little bits of this au:
- teaching assistant frederick!!
- dynamic aunt agatha and nephew frederick :)
- miss agatha listens to what frederick says and actually cares abt his interests. her taking him around the kingdom, explaining everything abt their land.
- frederick wearing pastel green crisp shirts (maybe even some with suspenders), blazers, ties, and black shoes with white socks. him gaining the Teacher style. pastel academia frederick.
- agatha has a small library in her house with cozy armchairs that frederick loves to sleep in. he really likes her house in general, because the colors are light and pretty and there's no plaid. it smells like autumn.
- frederick calling miss agatha "aggie"
- miss agatha calling frederick "freddie-boy"
- frederick being raised on butter cookies and ham-and-cheese sandwiches. when miss agatha gets home and he's done with school, they have dinner together and she tells him all about her job as the royal children's teachers
- (frederick pretends he doesn't know anything about kingdoms.)
- frederick becoming friends with neighborhood children..... just. let this boy have friends 😭😭 (one of his friends gets him into a series called "warrior ponies",,, skdhsksjdj and just. little kid shenanigans.)
- a seven-year-old frederick shipping miss agatha and the old guard because of how often he joins them for either breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
- the old guard being grumpy and referring to frederick as "the kid". the old guard becoming protective once he learns of frederick's backstory,,,
- miss agatha and frederick spending time in bookstores together,,, in the local library,,, sometimes they read in bakeries or in the park
- just. kid frederick. growing up with a stable family (of some kind,,)

20 Questions for Writers
eeee thanks for the tag @fuckyeahfang!! <3 i'm gonna tag @maraschinomerry if u wanna (no pressure tho!)
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 31! Dang I've been writing fic for a second and a half huh (Note: one of these fics is not mine lol -- I posted it for a friend without AO3)
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 77,138 -- waough
3. What fandoms do you write for? Whatever's rotting my brain most at the moment -- I had a long streak of Critical Role, which went into TMA, and I have a feeling Dunmeshi might get a few fics by the time it's done with me; also original stuff but I don't post that
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
My Lightbringer - 4,891 Hits, Critical Role
[incoming communication] - 3,018 Hits, Lifeline
little blue pills - 2,919 Hits, The Magnus Archives
The Hands-On Approach To Teaching Dunamantic Spells: A Guide by Essek Thelyss (Results may vary) - 2,271 Hits, Critical Role
Shitty Hair - 1,190 Hits, My Hero Academia
5. Do you respond to comments? I try, I really do, but sometimes I'll see one and be like "I'll reply to that later!" and then I don't and then it's been 2 years and I feel bad for replying so late that I just don't 😭 But I do read and appreciate them all I prommy
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? this would require me to finish fics EVER lmao... but seriously probably (Don't) Look Away. Do NOT read this if you haven't played Outer Wilds, but DO go and play Outer Wilds, and THEN read this.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Probably [incoming communication]? It's definitely the ending I'm most proud of -- it's very self indulgent, but I'm fond of it :"
8. Do you get hate on fics? nah people tend to be chill
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Sometimes, but not often, and I post it even less often. I prefer reading it to writing it, but I do like tossing around ideas I'll never write about the characters' weird and intriguing kinks lmao
10. Do you write crossovers? I don't tend to, unless they're incredibly funny to me. Reading-wise, crossovers just annoy me because there's 2x the chances for mischaracterisation/misunderstanding of the setting(s), but sometimes a really good one can scratch my brain.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? not to my knowledge!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not into another language, but I have had a podfic made of Cabin Fever -- which was great since it was a scriptfic anyway! It's really well made, go give it a listen!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Quite a few! Not in a while, but it's fun to work with someone whose brain ticks in synch with mine about a character or ship. I actually started dating my current partner in part because we were talking about a fic we wanted to write together! We'll get to it one day, and get sooo much hate about it it's quite fucked up LMAO
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? MAN. YOU CAN'T ASK ME THIS. it's like picking children. uhhh Shadowgast (Critical Role) is up there for All Timers but they are def not the only one. Probably the one I've thought most about, but now I'm thinking about Blupjeans (TAZ)... JMart.... augh. i love when people love each other despite the very terrible consequences
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? little blue pills! It's a fun concept -- I love fucking with the very rubbish trope of soulmate AUs and making them Weird and Queer, but I am not great at finishing projects and I have also cooled slightly on TMA since I started it.
16. What are your writing strengths? big emotions! being purple prose but like good about it! Weird People.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? finishing things, plotting, writing convincing dialogue -- yknow, just little things (🥲)
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? It can be done well, but it needs to be considered deeply. Also, used sparingly. I like throwing in terms of endearment in other languages, but when it's whole conversations, it's not fun to be checking google translate/the AN every five seconds.
19. First fandom you wrote for? the first one that's still up? Layton Brothers! the first ever? harry potter 😔
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? i hate favourite questions i hate favourite questions uHHHHHH You Were My Conscience. fucked up monster lovers trying to moralise their way out of being responsible for a man's mental breakdown <3
thanks again for the tag sunny i love u mwah

Ep.7 | Get Off My Balcony
Yelena: How is Peter’s vacation?
Kate: He just texted a picture of him and MJ on the beach. So adorable.
Yelena: Aw
Yelena: *opens pantry*
Yelena: Hey, Kate Bishop. We’re out of coffee again.
Kate: Yeah, I couldn’t find anything for breakfast either. Who’s turn is it to do the grocery shopping?
Yelena: You’re only asking so I don’t think it’s you. So it’s probably you.
Kate: No way! I went last time!
Yelena: Lies! Peter went last time with Natasha for ‘Mama Spider bonding time.’
Yelena: *pouts* Without me.
Kate: Aw, Yelena…Maybe you can go with Natasha if you call her.
Yelena: No! I see you’re trying to get me to do the shopping. You can’t fool me.
Kate: DANG IT YELENA I DON’T WANNA DO IT. This teenage cashier always hits on me.
Yelena: I can’t do it!! The last time I went, a child kept throwing things in my shopping cart and then running away.
Kate: …Well then it’s not getting done.
Yelena: I guess not.
*3 days later*
Yelena: We need food.
Kate: Last night for dinner, I had a ketchup packet I stole from the neighbor’s door dash.
Yelena: I had water from the tap, so it was a little crunchy. Almost like lettuce.
Kate: *slams head on table* We’re going to die.
[There is a knock on the front door. Yelena answers it. Wanda is there holding bags of groceries.]
Wanda: Hey, I was at the store and thought you guys might need some things.
Kate: WE’RE SAVED!
Yelena: Please tell me you have real food in there and not just crunchy water.
Wanda, confused: I did buy some lettuce…Do you not like lettuce anymore?
Yelena: *hugs her* I am so glad my sister married you.
