#but right now I'm in the clouds still aaa

[ID in alt text]

Well over a year ago I started a woodcut printing project with Matsu, Masa and Yaichi and it never really went anywhere. The fact that it maybe way too detailed wasn't even the main issue - I've completed overly detailed woodcut prints before - there was just something off about the drawing itself to begin with.

But a week ago I started my new job at the local Graphic Studio and I have to learn new techniques (I know, isn't it awful) because I'm gonna have to be able to explain it to people coming in to learn themselves. And one of those techniques is screen printing!

I've only observed and assisted so far (and learned so much already) but the plan for tomorrow is for me to do it myself, start to finish!

So I re-drew the aforementioned drawing and now I like it much, much better. I made two versions - The first is just line art, and the second is shaded with tiny dots and stripes - because I want to be able to go as detailed as possible.

(For the record: I am actually so psyched that I have to learn new techniques for this job!! Honestly cannot believe my luck.. About two years ago I was shown how to make a lithographic print by my now-colleague, but I'm gonna have to take a refresher course on that one. Those are the main two for now, but I'm sure I'll learn much more along the way.)

Cloud + Reno Flirting Headcanons | FFVII

Summary: How they flirt with you at the beginning vs. a long time into your relationship. Fem!Reader.

Notes: I've been in a huge Cloud Strife loving mood (probably because I recently finished CCR) and I'm also just coping with the fact that I don't have a PS5 to play Rebirth AAA

Cloud Strife

Beginning of the Relationship

Honestly, he's not even sure how he managed to win your heart in the first place. Poor boy is confused

He has absolutely no experience when it comes to romance, much less flirting but that's what happens when your life is full of unresolved trauma + Sephiroth

And, in his own words, he has "no good qualities" besides knowing how to swing a sword

A lot of time is spent in his room practicing pick-up lines in the mirror and then cringing at himself because oh gosh he's just so AWKWARD has he always been like this???

He only tried learning how to flirt in the first place in order to impress you and because that's what "normal couples do" but he soon realized he's not normal and it's best to just leave it at that

Eventually he just gives up and treats you like he normally does. Soft glances, lingering touches, and the occasional smile when he's feeling especially fond

Thankfully you don't seem to mind his, but part of him still feels guilty that he's not as romantic with you as he could be

Established Relationship

Over time Cloud's figured out how to flirt with you in his own way

His quiet observations have led him to figure out what sorts of things you like and what specifically makes you all flustered

On that note, one of Cloud's favorite things now is making you turn into a blushing mess

He's not usually so bold, but the sight of you hiding your face in your hands and stumbling on your words makes his heart do backflips

He's not saying it out loud, but internally he's crying over how cute you are

And he's not even doing anything super flirty. He just does his usual thing but turns it up a notch, and it works like a charm

Soft glances turn into unabashed stares. Lingering touches turn into hands trailing down your waist or jawline. Smiles turn into lips pressed against your cheek, already over and done with before you can register what happened 

Without fail, you're left wearing a flustered expression, unable to form the right words in response. And it inflates Cloud's ego. Just a little bit

Reno

Beginning of the Relationship

It's no secret that Reno's universally known as a shameless flirt, but now that he's involved with you, he becomes even more shameless than before

He pulls out all the stops to elicit a reaction from you. Not only does it fill him with pride knowing he has such effect on you, but he also just finds your facial expressions to be incredibly adorable. And he WILL tell you that

Whether it's a hand on your thigh during meetings or whispered words against your ear in the hallways, he never passes up an opportunity to make you flustered

However, you should know that none of his words are shallow or spoken half-heartedly. When he calls you lovely or breathtaking, he means every word he says

He would never tell you something he doesn't mean, so no rejecting his compliments, okay? You deserve to have nice things said about you

And he always makes sure to say something sweet to you every single morning

Just seeing that gorgeous smile appear on your face lifts his spirits. He wouldn't trade your happiness for anything

Established Relationship

After a while, Reno tones down on the flirting, but he's still the same suave romancer you know him to be

Now that he's with you, he just feels like he doesn't have to try so hard, you know?

It's not that he didn't enjoy flirting with you at every given moment in the beginning. It just sunk in one day that you're his, and no one is ever going to take you away from him

Now he knows that all it takes to make you flustered is a sincere "I love you" falling from his lips. What you want is something real and genuine, and the same goes for him

He still pulls tricks on you if only to see you glaring at him all red in the face, but his romantic gestures have become much more natural

It's a quick kiss on the cheek when he has to go off on a mission, a hand on your waist as you sit on his lap, or a gentle ruffling of your hair when you're playing coy with him

At the end of the day, he knows he doesn't have to prove how much he loves you. You already know you have a place in his heart

And, without question, he knows that he has a place in yours, too

Jing Yuan x reader & our child yanqing!!

I just want baby yanqing being a lil silly troublemaker and reader(you) just letting him go no matter what because he's so freaking cute??? you couldn't help it when he showed you his super move of puppy face.. later on Jing yuan might need to learn it from yanqing hehe but jing yuan would be upset, like yanqing broke his favorite cup but he just gets a little scolding and can go back to playing w/ toys... with the excuse of him being too cute that you must let him go

time skip to when yanqing is a teen and jing yuan finally gets to take his revenge by hiding some of yanqing's favorite swords

that would make yanqing superrr upset but he doesn't know who stole his favorite swords.. so he can't confront them abt it and then because you know who stole his lil swords so you secretly gave yanqing some allowance to buy more swords? jing yuan doesn't even know where all that money comes from keke

reminded by this small comic(?) where Jing yuan is disappointed at yanqing for buying new swords but you couldn't help but give him more money when he asks for it because he's tOO cute (( like even if I weren't related to him I'd do ANYTHING to make this baby smile like this aaa

a few sword buying trips later and jing yuan started noticing n he gets jealous~~ you're little hubby getting jealous of the son you both adore~~

so during this morning when you n your hubby wakes up together in bed, he asks "what are your plans for today?" today you are supposed to accompany yanqing to meet some officials! which is the job other people should be doing but you wanted to spend more time with your son.

"how about we go on a date today, just the two of us." he said. but wasn't he supposed to be at work today? "I'm sure the diviner would be willing to let me have a break once in a while" he was sure, but you weren't sure.

he stands up and reaches out for your hand, "it's been a long time since we've went out together"

you were tempted to go with him but you still had to meet up with qingque too right? you promised her that you wanted to learn mahjong from her.

and then you looked back up at his face— oh my.... yanqing??? the general of the cloud knights, looking at you with such puppy—

"uh... sure then" you shyly said, it's a once and a lifetime to see this face... you must treasure it in your brain for years to come even though you already have yanqing's puppy face in there too

nn~ Jing yuan hides you from yanqing the whole day

I'm gonna add more tmrw I need to sleep aaa

update :: I'm now awake and leTs continue

Jing Yuan x reader w/ our child yanqing (jelly Jing yuan time~~)

you don't know but, Jing yuan purposely brought you to restaurants where he knew that yanging wouldn't be in and disrupt the little love time you both have. yesterday while he was sulking in the divine foresight he went and calculated where is the best route to not see yanqing for a day ImAO

imagine doing that to your son

anyways, Jing yuan was being super nice and caring the entire time, if you wanted a little teddy bear he'd buy it for you, etc. etc. if he caught you ogling at some cupcakes or sweets from the window he'd bring you inside and let you taste every one of them!

if you didn't notice, some people were giggling and smiling at your cute interaction. the general of xianzhou on a date with his cute s/o!

it was near afternoon now and you've already visited all the places you wanted to go.

"hm I know the perfect place to go, angel" imagine Jing yuan calling you angel while you call him hubby ImFaokskmskandn I'm single af why am I writing this

you both go on a walk together while holding hands.. the sun is setting and.... oh this man is so pretty. you know it, we all know it. but even all the years of marriage nd being together you still couldn't get over how your hubby is so so pretty.

the radiance of the sun from behind him while he looks at you with those loving eyes.. your heart flutters at the sight.

and guess what? he brings you to a small cafe, and it was full of cats.. and birds. >> you know whose the biggest bird n cat lover here

you squeal at the sight and almost immediately jump inside to pat the little furries...

the last part of the date was so romantic. the staff was super welcoming and the tea tasted so good. It's like our first date all over again. you chuckled and Jing yuan laughed as well.

"we can consider this as our first date together as a married couple then" which funny enough truly is, because every other time it's the three of you together on a family trip.

when the date is over, and you and Jing yuan walk back. he holds your hand tightly with fingers intertwined. he makes sure he walks side by side because of the major size difference between you two.. and if he walks how he usually does you will probably have to run to catch up to him every step

'maybe we should do more of these in the future..'

when you arrive home, you will probably bring out a sandal to Jing yuan because he failed to tell qingque that you are going when you reminded him to atleast tell someone to send a message to her.

yanqing runss to you and you barely had time to react before Jing yuan picks the young boy up with his two large hands by the waist.

"WAh-

"slow down yanqing, we need to rest." Jing yuan says before putting the boy down.

hm? I'm not tired though?

Jing yuan got the message but nonetheless he drags you to your shared bedroom leaving the poor boy behind

hah...

jelly Jing yuan is my thing now I need him to be a jelly little baby for me hehe

I'm probably gonna make more yuus

I love how you write harvey sm!!! You had me swooning with every words !! So sweet, short, and straight to the point but very flavorful and entertaining! i'm so happy i came across your blog !

I have a prompt that u can feel free to use!

What do you think Harvey is like when he & the farmer just got married? For example, is he very timid that he couldn't sleep when next to the farmer? Is he very hesitant to hold them? Or other things u think/headcanon? Would love to read your thoughts! Thank you so much for your time !!<3

!! harvey as your new husband

contains ; domestic fluff. another post of me rambling lol. entirely sfw! gn!farmer / gender is never implied. short drabble.

note ; i’m in a harvey brainrot rn that every time i try to sit down to write for the other bachelors, i just end up staring at my screen doing nothing 😓

when you were only dating, it wasn’t rare for harvey to come over while you were working after he found some time of his own.

even once, after you invited him over and sighed about how dirty you felt the cottage was since you hardly had time to clean—he became accustomed to do so just for you.

bringing over his own cleaning supplies just to sweep the dust, help with laundry, clean your kitchen and make dinner for you.

and he didn’t even mind doing all of it, just to help you lift the weight of your chores.

so after that one time, and you came home to see a squeaky clean home, and your excellent boyfriend after a particularly exhausting day—you could’ve cried.

not to mention, he goes the great mile. those large yellow gloves over his hands, non-slip shoes and a hardware apron over his clothes so he wouldn’t get himself dirty.

some may say it’s a bit dramatic, but he says prepared.

anyways, it became a routine he was fond of doing.

harvey came over a lot. to the point where his own house didn’t really feel like home anymore.

he hated those nights when he couldn’t come over, forced to sleep in his own bed without you by his side. it would take him longer to fall asleep if he couldn’t feel you next to him. he probably had to hug a pillow just to feel something lol.

so when you got married, it’s safe to say he was ecstatic to be moving out of his lonely apartment. especially when you made time to come help him, packing stuff in boxes.

it really made him realize how life changing it is. to see you labeling each box, sorting through his cds and tapes while talking about your future together.

“i think these would look nice in our living room, i could move my bookshelf over and we could squeeze this in…” you ramble on, face full of concentration.

it made his heart gush, even just hearing you call it our living room.

when you’d “ooo” and “aaa” at items of his you looked forward to decorating the house with, and “uhh” at the ones you didn’t. he couldn’t possibly be upset, if anything, he’d laugh at your honesty. there’s nothing that’d make him upset right now.

so when you were finally married, you had to work but he spent the majority of the day squeezing his stuff into the house like you both planned, it still felt right.

you didn’t have to be beside him, helping him unbox for him to be happy. he found everything seemed to fit in place.

settling in didn’t feel as much of a task as you both thought it’d be. there was always a cloud of sadness when he’d have to leave, so finally that experience was tarnished after the knot was tied.

there’s no leaving anymore, because he always comes right back.

at this point, his nerves being around you were fizzled, but of course he still got butterflies when he’d see you.

any moment he was intimate with you still made him feel much younger with the way his heart would pound and his palms would grow sweaty. even if you were just leaning in to kiss him.

so the first night you two were living together as a married couple—i don’t think he’d be so nervous.

or at least, not nervous in a bad way.

“which side of the bed should i sleep on?”

“harvey, we’ve slept together before. this isn’t new.” you tease.

“well we’ve never slept together as a married couple who lives in the same house. this is the start to the rest of our lives, i want to make sure we’re making the right decision,” and after he realizes what he implied, he’s widening his eyes and shaking his head, “no! not like that! as in, what if i sleep on the right side, but i sleep on my right side so my back is always turned to you—“

“harvey, honey…i’m not going to be mad at you if i wake up and you’re not facing me.” you giggle.

he really knows how to overthink everything.

but once you’re finally tucked in bed together (you on the right, him on the left) i don’t think he’ll overthink at this point.

by now, you’re both so in love that he doesn’t second guess reaching over to hold you anymore. he doesn’t need to rethink all of that.

when you latch onto him, pressing your face into his chest and wrapping your arms around him—he’s bound to get butterflies. you may even hear his heart beat a little quicker. but he’s not shy to give you the same treatment.

if he could, he’d hold you all day. he never wants to let go.

[Thursday, april 4th] (Ep. 8 ↓)

First of all, I know it came out on us netflix today. I'm avoiding tumblr, twitter and insta until the last two eps aired tomorrow. Which won't matter to you but it does to me. Alright, now into the ep.

The bloodmoon is actually pretty tbh

Wyldfyre is in denial over Rontu and Egalt being stone now lol

You know, Kai is right- he only managed to do the rising dragon strike once. That doesn't mean he knows how to use it

GAWDD LLOYD- I JUST WANNA HUG YOU

"The equipment known as Zane" AHAHAH

By the way, why has Galandarias orb thingy have so many cracks? I don't think that's good, to be honest. oH IT'S EVEN TAPED TOGETHER

Hi Jay

God, he's so boreddd by his job

OOO THAT'S FUNKY, SPRITE- Wait, he knew about his powers??

Rip Zane. Will there ever be a season where you don't get deactivated?

O- wait, SELF DESTRUCTION?! Oh, at least Zane was smart enough to leave the mech before they exploded

Wait, what. What happened to Jay?? And Sprite?

CLOUD KINGDOM, HIII

HIII WOLF MASKS YOU LOOK SO COOL IN 3D- I DON'T THINK I EVER MENTIONED THAT

So.. Jordana knows magic? To control the orb? Cool. No, genuinely- I'm impressed

RIP BOUNTYY- WILL YOU EVER NOT BE DESTROYED IN A SEASON? RIP ARIN AND RIYU AND LLOYD AND NYA

Oh that's not a good spot to crash. Poor Kai id left to take care of the two new girls

God, Lloyd, maybe stop saying you're safe or you'll probably crash through the ground one day too

I wouldn't call that flying but whatever floats your boat, Arin

SORA AND WYLDFYRE MINI BONDING-

Rip Bounty fr this time

Oh what a cute mushroom

Ohhh it's equally cute on the inside

That box was in Lloyd's visions, right? So this doesn't feel like a good idea

THE BOX IS COMFY?! Doesn't look like it

Ah, yes. I know that. It's so hard to do things while being watched

I KNEW IT'S A BAD IDEA WITH THE BOX

OH GREAT, IMPERIUM TECH. Jordana is actually starting to do things now? About time. We're pretty much close to the end of the first half of the season now so.. Yeah

Why does Arin immediately think the others died??

[Friday, april 5th] (Ep. 9 ↓)

The environments are beautiful

OHH TINY RAS STUCK IN A HOLE

Oh? Was that when he met his master??

Cool, telling Cinder to commit property damage

WYLDFYRE RIP- oh nvm, kai caught her

[tsuki-sennin]

Don Don Donbrothers!  Don Don Rolling and going!  Don Don Donbrothers!  Don Don Don Don Don Don Don... Yeah! 

Rampagin’ through the streets  Everyone does their part  No other, better chance Our party’s about to start!  Going ape in the club with the hardest beats  Clock strikes, it's time to dance...  Follow My way! 

Feeling your soul blaze, so wild and free!  Swift wings strong as a howling breeze!  I run out swinging, better watch yourself!  Go all out for prizes on the top shelf! 

Right now we Go! (Go!) Go! (Go!)  Let’s show ‘em all our power range now, Avatar Change!  Go! (Go!) Don’t matter when now, don't cry!  Your heart’ll still be shining bright!  Blast your sorrows far away! No way you can't say, "I am the Only One"!

Don Don Donbrothers!  Don Don Rolling and going  Don Don Donbrothers!  Don Don Don Don Don Don Don... Yeah!

That, my dear readers, was an attempt at "localizing" Win Morisaki's "Ore Koso Only One" using the approximate translation of the TV length version of the theme put on the Ranger Wiki as a base. I spent a few days on it, and I understand it's hardly perfect (what with the creative liberties I took), but I felt it's only fitting that I go big for such a force of personality as Don Momotaro.

Episode 50, of Avataro Sentai Donbrothers. Can't believe it's finally ending. Our festival's about to as the clock strikes midnight on this town. I'm obviously gonna miss this series. But like... for how bittersweet this feels, I'm not sad at all. This is the best festival I've ever been to, and we've all made some truly unforgettable memories.

There ain't ever gonna be another series like Donbrothers, but I truly hope that it inspires some absolutely batshit insane stories to be told for years to come.

So, without further ado... Spoilers, I guess...

-Oh my God.

-Haruka was a self-insert for Toshiki Inoue all along!

-Haruka wins all the things. And you know what? She's more than earned it.

-WHAT THE FUCK THAT IS INOUE

-H-Hello, Inoue-sensei!

-He and Sonoza are so proud.

-Everyone's so happy for you :)

-Ohhh, Tarou...

-No opening today, just gotta jump right into it.

-Hatanaka-san...

-Oh no, Tarou's forgetting everything

-"...did you like me putting your life on the line constantly?"

-"...I mean, at first I didn't, but then I did, y'know?"

-Haruka's seen the best and worst of humanity thanks to these weirdos.

-"Man, nobody's gonna try to claim that but you."

-Goodbye?

-Ohhh...

-Shinichi, of course, absolutely doesn't regret it.

-A fun little learning experiment.

-As transient as the clouds.

-Ohhhhh shit.

-"The most beautiful woman in the world... is me!"

-Sonona~! Our final boss.

"GIMME THAT, NERD! You're welcome, scrub lord!"

-There he is! Murakami!

-Sonoya~!

-OH SHE CAN JUST

-STEAL POWERSETS, OKAY

-He can too, okay! That's terrifying!

-Flattened like a beer can.

-Ah, yep. Relationship drama.

-I don't blame her at all, tbh.

-"Shit, this ain't a good time."

-How delightfully anti-climactic.

-A bit of self-reflection would do ya some good, doggie.

-"I'll do it full time. So other people's relationships can flourish where mine didn't."

-Murasame-kun!

-Where ya goin' buddy?

-Momoi Jumpscare.

-Hello, Tsuyoshi.

-"Oh come now, it's okay! I'm a Donbrother, remember?"

-Tarou's so proud of his little losers.

-"Sonoshi-chan."

-W

-Wiggly, what the fuck

-Sonoshi's so fucking terrified, they're about to shit gold.

-MURASAME-KUN NO

-"Our boss!"

-RESET

-WHAT

-Oh okay, Papa Jin's just free now

-There's no need for a Momoi Tarou in the current age.

-"Not my boyfriend!"

-"It's tasty. You should try one, Dad."

-HE EVEN FORGOT HIS DAD AAAAAA

-Good work, Tarou.

-Sonoi on the street corner. What will he do?

-"So like... can you help me remember everything?"

-OHHHH

-That Murakami grin.

-"You seem kinda off, man."

"H-hey, Tarou!

-Oden :)

-"Kitou Haruka. She makes manga."

-Momoi-san...

-"He's a timid little birdie."

-"Good night, Tarou-san."

-Who...

-Sonoi aaa

-Oh no

-The Condor Signal!

-Holy shit, these guys are strong.

-"Well, if it isn't little Sonoi! Where'd your boyfriend go?"

-Ewwwww, don't lick those

-He's goin' on. Leavin' us all behind.

-The executioners.

-"Tarou's left me in charge! It's my chance to do him right!"

-"The author of this manuscript wanted you to read this. ...don't worry, my name is Kaito, I run this cafe."

-Tsuyoshi and Tsubasa! CGI in arms.

-YOOOO MURASAME

-"I hate you. I'm gonna be with my friends!"

-Holy shit, Haruka was thorough.

-His little sister, his boyfriend, his friends, and himself. Don Momotaro.

-God, brutal.

-HERE HE COMES

-Hahahahahahahaha~!

-Laugh, you gotta laugh! The festival is here!

-Up on your feet! It's time to shout it loud, shout it proud!

-Absolute integrity personified! Sonoi!

-A beautiful rose has its thorns... looking to know love, Sononi!

-When something catches my interest, nothing gets in my way! Sonoza!

-The jaws that've snapped awake! Don Murasame!

-Don Dragoku! And Don Torabolt!

-Farewell, transient world! Saru Brother!

-The manga master! Oni Sister!

-The fastest getaway of all time! Inu Brother!

-Faithful pheasant! Kiji Brother!

-Here it comes

-Born from the peach! Don Momotaro!

-Yo! Nippon Ichi!

-Avataro Sentai! Donbrothers!

-TIngly tingly!

-Literally the hypest shit of all time.

-Momotaro Slash!

-He's gone.

-He vanished as he lived. In a fiery explosion brought about by his grandstanding lunacy and obsession with the people he loves.

-Criminal Couple~!

-Oh fuck, Natsumi-san.

-Damn girl, you bounced the hell back!

-Motherfucker broke the fourth wall. to give his scarf away.

-My friends! Getting the Inoue Award! ...I suppose Murasame didn't feel quite like getting up on stage today. It's alright, he's his own man.

-Oh? Who might be at the door?

-Oh thanks Auntie Yuriko.

-The delivery man :)

-We made a bond :)

-The handoff :)

-My heart feels like it's shining today.

-...I suppose whoever Mother and Don Kaito really are is a bit irrelevant, but to be honest I think I've had more than my fill.

-Thank you, old man Inoue. You're an odd fellow, but I must say, you steam a good ham.

-Big shoutouts to literally every person on this cast and crew for going far harder than they ever had any right to. The action directors, the editors, the stuntmen and women, the cops,

-And of course, thank you for watching and following along with me.

-It was a weird path, one fraught with weirdos minor and major, insane bullshit left and right, things that just happen, extremely satisfying sound design, fights like you've never seen before, plenty of love and kindness spread about, and lots of screaming. It was all worth it.

-I expect big things from you, KuwagataOhger. A supposed "King of Evil".

Aria. I am in your walls. I actually cried. So hard. You broke my heart. AGAIN. Bro this isn't fair. How can you make me like I'm on cloud nine, make me giggle, make my heart flutter, only to then push me off that cloud, and break my heart. I'm going to need 5 business years to recover from this story. I feel so, sad right now. JAYN 😭.

Everything about the fic was perfect. I loved it so so so so so much. It was like being wrapped in a warm blanket (expect the angst that made me feel like I was swimming in the arctic ofc). I hate his mom. Like she can go and 😇. I knew it was coming. Like I knew something like that would happen. But it still broke my heart so badly.

Yeji and Karina 😕. My babes. I fell for them and then I remembered it was a Jay fic. The best friends are the best omg.

The whole ride to the trip. Lord I was giggling so hard. Threw my phone reading about the actual trip. AND THE MATCHING RING/NECKLACE. Plotting my downfall that was so sweet. Jay was such a jealous person like damn bro 🤭. No ones going to take your yn away. THE FERRIS WHEEL SCENE? It reminded me of Sungyn that made me want to cry. Poor Yn shes suffering so much.

Jay's letter. I should've known you'd do something like that. It was the last straw. You're evil for it, so evil.

I cant wait for Jake's so I can get my heart broken again.

I feel like I'm forgetting to say something. But I've already said a lot so goodbye.

ANONNIE AAA i was giggling and smiling reading this and was sorta gatekeeping this ask cause it’s so 🩷🩷 it makes me so happy that my fic actually conveyed what i was trying to write and YOUR FEEDBACK IS SO AMAZING im hugging you rn it means the world to me i really am just so happy and speechless <33 thank you so so much for reading tatbifb and yes see you at jake’s part 😋🫶🏼

COMPLETED: AER: Memories of Old

Another of my type of games. It's got the essential elements: exploration, platforming, puzzles, and story. As much as I enjoyed it, though, it was a bit shallow. Not really in a bad way, just--I want more!

I will say--this is essentially what I expected from Skyward Sword. So void filled.

Let's start with what I love about the game:

Open World

Exploration

Great Mood

No Combat Necessary

Story

Graphics/Style

No so great:

Short

Nothing to do...

Graphics/Style

Starting in the rear here. I dig blocky graphics, so I was very accepting of this game's style. But to be hyper-critical: it wasn't blocky enough. Most of the environments are fine, but I think the characters still had too many polygons. Closer to PS2 than PS1. I would have preferred PS1.

But I found it really intriguing how they don't really use textures. Similar to classic, early PS1/N64 games--every polygon is a solid color. The character faces lack eyes or any detail. I don't mind it, and I'm impressed with how they make it work. There are a few patterns, when necessary--but not in a way that looks out of whack.

But even with the blocky, no-texture graphics--the animations are great. And the camera work, when on the rare occasion there's a "cut-scene", is perfect for the tone and project. While the graphical style was to minimize resources required--it's pulled off expertly.

Open World/Exploration

The game world is quite impressive. It's a series of floating islands amongst the clouds and there are A LOT of islands of varying sizes and shapes. Immediately I was like YES--this is what Skyward sword was supposed to be! In truth, some of the islands feel nearly as large as the playable "ground" areas of Skyward sword--so obviously it can be achieved. The game also cleverly uses clouds to hide sections. Maybe this hides loading, but at the very least it helps makes sections feel "isolated", like how Disney World's Magic Kingdom somehow makes each "kingdom" feel...I don't know. Isolated. Not able to describe it well right now.

The game is actually quite linear, but they let you "discover" where to go--much like Ocarina of time. The clues are pretty direct, but there's always a little mystery that can only be resolved through genuine discovery.

But sadly, only about 5-10% of the game world is used (or at least required). And that's the biggest sin of the game. It's so interesting and well crafted, but the majority of the world just goes to waste. I wish there was some sort of collection mechanism. It would be...silly, but at least it would have inspired exploring this awesome world.

Actually, what they should have done is had several characters that send you on side questions. Maybe a map-maker wants you to find certain landmarks and report back. Or there's an archaeologist that wants you to unravel some history and what not. This would allow the game to stay focus but also inspire the player to explore the world with purpose.

Did I mention you can turn into a bird and fly. It's pretty awesome. Just like in Skyward Sword, you flap around--but it actually uses airplane controls, thank god!

Story/Mood

The story is pretty straight forward but interesting. And honestly, it's up to snuff with most AAA games that are basically just self-indulgent 20 minute cut scene fests meant to cover up their lack of depth and originality with "production value".

Maybe that's harsh.

I think this game is, potentially, tearing down christianity a bit. Basically there was a creator and then there multiple gods and talking animals. But then a group of violent extremist decided there was one god-king and that all other gods were trash. Then they started going around murdering people and burning sacred texts and stuff.

Also, I think AER is supposed to be a resource of power, or something...I don't know.

There's a bit of sadness in the game. Moral seems to be that there's not really evil, but that mankind can develop a void that corrupts their view of the world. And a lot of the immortal beings that offer their help have to essentially die to give it. So interesting.

Short

The worst part of the game is also a strength. It's short. Really short. I probably spent 2-3 hours playing and that included getting lost a few times. It doesn't bother me, I like short games if the experience is "full". And I think this game succeeds in that. But with as large as the world is--it could have had much more. I think that more should have been optional, but to have nothing...that was disappointing.

Dungeons

The dungeons are ok. They're VERY large--like, why do they need to be this big. I think some of the layout could be confusing, but I figured it out without much trouble. I think for younger or newer gamers, these dungeons would be too advanced. But for an experience user it wasn't so bad.

No Combat

Mad respect for excluding combat. I think I briefly read this was a complaint, as it would have filled out the experience--but it truly would have just been filler. Combat should be meaningful, and I thought it was great not to have it. Not everyone wants to fight their way through an experience. Like, they cheaply could have hidden weapons and equipment around the world and had enemies of different levels requiring the player to grind and level up, and suddenly the 3 hour game would be 9 hours and all that empty space would have been filled in. But at the same time, it would have just been filler that added time more than value.

Conclusion

I really enjoyed it. And I could totally see myself playing it again one afternoon just to enjoy the magical simplicity of it. I'd love to see these game devs make more projects that are similar!

AAA ATE YUMI ANG CUTE NAMANNNN omg so i’m gonna join in if u don’t mind po hehe 😁 one (1) order for a yuuji itadori (JJK) + 1 + pretty / pretty girl + best friend by laufey or nothing by bruno major !! <3

𝟏𝟒𝟑 𝟔𝟑𝟕 (𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫)

♡ contains: 915 words. fluff-ish, friends to lovers (?)

♡ summary: In which you doubt whether it's the right time to say I love you to your long time friend and boyfriend.

♡ end note: As you can see, the song is nowhere near related skskksks omg sorry i'm late

By the time Itadori realized that he's undoubtedly, hopelessly, tremendously in love with you, (more than he already is) it was raining — dark clouds smothered the sky above, droplets creating music as it pattered into the roofs and pavements.

Your smile reaching the corner of your eyes, beaming with exuberance, completely refuting the cold rainy weather.

“Hey wait up, Y/n come on! Say it again!” Itadori was left frozen in place, no matter how he tried to step closer, to catch up to you – he can't, couldn't.

The weight of the words you just said, the destruction in his heart when you dropped the bomb, he wants to hear it again. Clearly – he wants to see how you said it, how your mouth opened and closed around the syllables, wobbles after you speak, how your eyes twinkle, near sobbing – he wanted to hear it face to face.

“I can't hear you!” it's petty you know, foolish, childish – all the words you used to describe Itadori, all the adjectives your mind could only make up when you're around him but now, oh how the tables turned.

You dragged your feet as far as it could go, heart pounding from both the adrenaline and embarrassment. Mortification flooded your senses when you remember your statement earlier. Fuck, why did I have to say that?

It's vexing really, it's been five months since you said ‘yes’, since you've become a couple — considering he was your friend for many years (that you couldn't even count at the top of your head) but there's still that unrelenting feeling, that nagging voice at the back of your mind saying: it isn't the time yet, he doesn't feel the same way as you do, it's not love – it's temporary.

And despite how you turned it off, tuned it out, obscure the lingering murmurs – it always breaks free, it always slaps you in the face.

You wrapped your arms around you, covering yourself from the frigid weather, more like covering yourself from the facts. Closing your eyes, shutting your mind from the cold, cold truth – you felt yourself being lifted, strong arms wrapped around your waist, legs dangling.

“Say it again!”

It's Itadori!

Itadori carried you with ease, lifting you up like a potato sack, he doesn't even heave any sign of discomfort, or any sign that he finds you heavy – it's surprising (probably worth complimenting) but quite honestly, you don't need any of it right now, you don't need him right now.

“Itadori Yuuji! Put me down!”

“No!”

“This is humiliating, put me down now!”

“No! Not unless you say it again”

Weak fists smacked his back, impishly trying to remove yourself from an embarrassing situation. “Let me down!” smack “Now!” another smack “For the love of– Okay okay, I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!”

Thunder echoed into your ears, earning a slight tremble from you — or maybe it wasn't because of the thunder, but because of your confession, but because you spoke the unspoken.

“I love you Yuuji!” deciding to push down whatever shame you have left, letting the words escaped your lips freely, you shout the words again, and again, and again – until your throat went hoarse, til’ the words pricked your skin and chest like needles – scorching flames engulfing your esophagus, til’ the only thing that you received as a response is his face.

Up till you felt him slid his hands over your body, slowly, gently, effortlessly putting you down.

Feet now planted into the pavement, rain beginning to subside, his expression — were nothing like you expected, were nothing sort of what you imagined it would be.

“Is it true? Do you mean it? Are- Do you…” he bit his bottom lip, quivering as he choke out the rest of the sentence “You love me?”

Unlike the times his face is cloaked with happiness, twinkling like a little child – today, this moment – he looks expectant, pupils alternating between your eyes and your lips. Why does he look like a puppy waiting for it's owner's praise?

Gulping, swallowing the last bit of embarrassment. “Mhm, had been since day one.”

That was more than enough to make him lunge at you, enfolding you in an emotional, amorous embrace.

“I love you too pretty, more than anything, more than anyone in this world.” your arms went limp, did you just hear it correctly? Is your mind playing tricks on you?

“I held it back for months! Cause I thought it's too early.” there's sincerity in his voice, voice cracking for a moment, it really must be the truth.

“I was scared to say it, I thought you didn't feel the same.” Breathing out the frustration that piled up earlier, you wrapped your arms around him, snuggling further into the side of his neck.

You felt him sigh against your neck, even in the coldness of the weather, both of you soaked – the fuzzy feeling in your chest, and his confession, you felt warm. “I love you okay, never ever forget that, not even for a second, you got it?”

All the disturbing thoughts earlier seem to gradually melt as you keep him in your arms, as you rest comfortably in his hold — and let the cynical, pessimistic thoughts evaporate and be one with the forgotten fragments of the past.

“I won't forget it. I love you Yuuji”

Why did you have such doubts in the first place anyway.

“I love you too, so damn much.”

painting the sunset with thoma

pairing: Thoma x GN!Reader tags: Fluff, Modern AU, Newly Established Relationship wc: 2.2k summary: Thoma unexpectedly shows up to your home with a bunch of art supplies so you both decide to spend the afternoon together doing some painting.

aaa thank you jia (@ohmykazuha) for hosting the flufftober event! this is my first ever thoma fic so hopefully i haven't made him too ooc lolol

“Hey! I figured you would be home at this hour,” Thoma grins sheepishly as he stands in your doorway. He takes in your surprised expression as adoration stabs at his heart, clouding his vision with a rosy haze; despite the fact that your hair was a mess and you appeared to have just gotten out of bed.

Still, it was a peaceful Sunday and Thoma could definitely understand why you were still in your pyjamas at two in the afternoon.

Politely averting his eyes, Thoma tries not to stare too much at your animal-patterned pyjamas while you meekly gesture for him to come inside your home with flushed cheeks.

“I’ll be right back!” You exclaim a little too loudly. Your gaze darts in every direction except his, dutifully ignoring his expression full of mirth as Thoma nods in understanding.

Thoma stifles a chuckle as you rush off to your bedroom, leaving him alone in the living room with a suspicious-looking bag in his hands. The pure-white sheen of the plastic bag, bulging with various items inside, contrasted sharply with the thick blocky letters written in red on the bag.

‘FOR THOMA. DO NOT TOUCH.’

The blonde wastes no time in making himself at home. He leaves his belongings by the legs of the coffee table before entering the kitchen to get two glasses of water— one for himself and another for you. Despite the easy familiarity Thoma had with your kitchen, his chest was beginning to feel increasingly tight as nervousness seeped into every crevice of his being. He had only been to your place once, for dinner, and he worried that maybe he was overstepping boundaries.

"You should have told me you were going to stop by," You whine as you come up behind him and wrap your arms around his waist. "Right now, I only have one banana in my fridge." With a sigh, you state.

Thoma lets out a soft giggle as a searing blush spreads across his face. "It's okay, I have some snacks in my bag."

“Though, I think some of them might be expired…” The blonde adds on quietly.

Your answering laugh is like music to his ears and Thoma could feel the nervousness he felt before melting away like butter under the sun as he laughs along with you.

“So… "Did you come here to share expired snacks with me?" You inquire as you take the glass of water he offers you.

Thoma shakes his head, his blonde hair swaying violently. "How do you feel about a painting date?" Thoma waits for your response with a hesitant smile on his lips.

“A painting date?” You echo after him. “Hm, but I don’t have any art supplies.” You say, pursing your lips.

Thoma's face lights up with pride as he puffs out his chest. "Don't worry; I have plenty of art supplies."

“Really? That’s nice.”

The blonde visibly deflates a little upon hearing your response. The lack of enthusiasm in your voice brings a pout onto Thoma’s lips as his green eyes dim dejectedly.

“Don’t you wanna know how I got the art supplies?” Thoma tries, looking at you expectantly. His hand finds yours naturally, fingers slipping between the gaps to interlock his hand with yours.

A wry smirk prods at the corner of your lips and Thoma realises that he’s fallen for your bait.

"You're mean," Thoma grumbles, frowning.

"I'm not," you state emphatically, denying his claim.

His expression, however, quickly changes into a dopey smile as you squeeze your interlocked hands lightly. Your expression swiftly follows suit, mirroring the bliss on Thoma’s face with a toothy grin.

“So how did you get the art supplies?” You question as Thoma leads you back to the living room. His palms are slightly sweaty but Thoma hopes you wouldn’t mind it as he refuses to let go even as the both of you settle into a comfortable position on the floor with your backs against the sofa.

“It all began when the art club told me that they needed Albedo’s help for an upcoming competition but Albedo had already agreed to help another club for a science fair held in the same week,” Thoma paused for a moment, drew in a deep breath, and resumed his story, hyper-aware of your gaze on him as you stared at him, enraptured.

“I agreed to help them convince Albedo to join them and soon enough, I had Albedo in the palm of my hands and he readily agreed to help the art club.” He finished, beaming with pride at his own accomplishment.

Of course, you didn’t need to know the minor details like what Thoma had promised to Albedo in exchange for helping the art club. A few experiments never hurt anyone. Probably.

“Oh, and I got a bunch of art supplies for free because the art club didn’t have the money to pay me,” Thoma adds on, pointing at the plastic bag. You could barely make out the shape of the canvases inside the plastic bag with how bulky the bag was.

Curiosity piqued, you reached out to tug the bag towards you. “How many things did they give you?” You ask as you peered inside the bag.

“Honestly? I’m not sure,” Thoma answered. “But I think they just gave us some basic supplies that they had lying around.”

One by one, you pull out canvases of various sizes, brush sets, acrylic paint, pencils and even a sticker sheet of shiba inus.

“Ah! I got that one on the way here when I stopped by a stationery store.” Plucking the sticker sheet from your grasp, Thoma points at a particularly chonky shiba inu on the sticker sheet. “That one looks like Taroumaru, right?”

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the sticker did in fact look like Taroumaru, the dog from Komore Teahouse. You let out a loud laugh as you nodded, “The resemblance is uncanny.”

“Hehe, I knew you would agree!”

With all the art supplies laid out carefully on the table by Thoma, the stack of blank canvases were beginning to look daunting to you.

“Are you good at painting?” You ask, leaning your head on Thoma’s shoulder.

“Not sure,” Thoma replies simply as he tilts his head, resting his cheek on the top of your head.

The both of you sit in silence for a while. The solid thud of Thoma’s heartbeat pairs incomparably with your quiet breathing, almost lulling him to drift off into sleep if it weren’t for the sudden pinching of his cheek.

“Didn't you want a painting date?” Your voice lilts in a teasing manner.

A small smile tugs at the corners of the blonde's lips as he sighs through his nose. "All right, all right... We can just schedule a nap date for another day." Thoma comments as he sits upright. Albeit reluctantly, Thoma finally lets go of your hand in favour of stretching his arms upwards.

“I have an idea,” You blurt out. “Since we’re both beginners, I think, we can make it a contest to see who has a nicer painting?”

"And we could follow along with a YouTube video!" Thoma continues, his green eyes gleaming with excitement.

With a proper plan in mind, the both of you set out on different tasks in preparation for the impromptu painting session.

While Thoma searched for easy painting videos on YouTube, you rummaged through your kitchen for old cups and containers and filled them with water.

“How’s this? ‘Easy Sunset Painting For Beginners’,” Thoma reads aloud as he shows you his screen. Your gaze flicks between the screen to Thoma. Noticing the eagerness in his eyes, you smile, sounding out your approval with a hum.

You hand your TV remote over to Thoma, allowing him to set up the device so that the YouTube video could be shown on your TV instead of his much smaller smartphone screen. As Thoma busied himself, you sorted through the art supplies once more. You picked out a small canvas that seemed to be of similar size as the one used in the video, reserving one for Thoma while taking another for yourself.

“You ready?”

You look up from the various paints scattered across your coffee table to see that Thoma had paused the video and was waiting for you to get ready.

“Yep, I sorted out the stuff we needed and the stuff we didn’t,” You tell him, jerking your thumb towards the rejected pile of art supplies on the floor.

A giddy warmth settled deep within your chest as Thoma nudged you in the arm to get your attention before placing a surprise peck on your cheek.

You’re not given any time to react before Thoma hastily turns away and presses ‘play’ on the video. As the intro jingle sounds out from your TV, you take a few more seconds to admire Thoma’s bright red ears as a tingling sensation runs rampant all over your skin.

The room falls silent as the both of you start painting. Your heartbeat rings loudly in your ears and you wonder if Thoma was feeling the same as you.

The required colours had already been laid out and squeezed into blobs on the shared palette as you take turns to dip your brushes into the paint.

The video is simple enough that you’re able to follow along without having to ask Thoma to pause the video frequently, yet it became increasingly clear that Thoma was not a beginner. Not at all.

His confident brush strokes covered the stark white canvas in an instant, painting it over with vibrant red, orange and yellow as he blended the colours into a replica of the sunset. You let out a sound in amazement, staring at Thoma’s painting which looked so different from yours despite following the same video as you were.

“Tired? I can pause the video if you want,” Thoma says as he turns to face you. Unlike yours, Thoma’s fingers were clean and free of paint, a sign of careful precision that a beginner like you lacked.

“You’re way too good at this to be a beginner,” You remarked, pointing at your own canvas which paled in comparison to Thoma’s.

Quickly pausing the video, Thoma shook his head as he answered, “I am a beginner, and your painting looks amazing to me!”

“Look, your lines are better than mine,” The blonde points out.

He was right. Your lines did look neater than Thoma’s slightly crooked ones.

“I guess it is,” You say, meeting a pair of green eyes that seemed to twinkle in delight.

A chuckle escapes from Thoma’s lips as you smile playfully at him, cocking your head to the side for added effect.

“Are you up for expired snacks?”

“Hell yeah.”

“This is harder than I thought…” You mutter as you give your painting its final touches, determined to cover up a small mistake you made on the corner of the canvas.

Beside you, Thoma had already begun snapping pictures of his finished artwork and even some of you, hard at work.

“Say cheese~!”

You hold up your paint-covered fingers, folding it into a peace sign as you smile brightly at Thoma. The rosy blush on his cheeks doesn’t fail to evade your notice as Thoma snaps a few pictures of you. You could even feel your face warm under his attention.

As Thoma marvels at how well his pictures turned out, you take one final comparative glance between your painting and Thoma’s. And sure enough, it was clear as day who had the better painting.

Thoma’s painting was nothing short of brilliant. So much so that you were beginning to doubt that he had lied about being a beginner. Even someone with an untrained eye like yourself could tell what a gem his painting was.

You let out a helpless groan and flopped back onto the sofa seat. Thoma's attention is drawn to the sound, and your boyfriend rushes to your side, his brow furrowed as he assesses you.

"I lost," you say flatly, sluggishly waving your hand at the paintings.

“Lost?” Thoma, perplexed, repeats after you. For a few seconds, you watch his eyelids flutter before realization flashes across his green irises.

“Do you mean the competition? But how do you know you’ve lost?” Thoma questions you, bottom lip protruding ever so slightly as he pokes your cheek gently.

“Your painting is so good I want to frame it up in my room,” Thoma mused, casting an appreciative look at your painting.

Your complaints are muffled as Thoma pulls you onto his lap. His large hands wind around you, skillfully pulling you closer till you’re comfortably slotted against him, your protests effectively muted by the soft pats on your back. Thoma’s laughter fills the room as you smear the paint on your fingers across his cheek in retaliation.

“You can smear paint all over me all you want, but that’s not going to stop me from stealing cuddles from you,” Thoma states. You could feel his smile hidden against your shoulder as he hummed contentedly, rocking you side to side.

“I’m not a baby you know,” You murmur, your lips brushing against his cotton shirt as you speak.

“Of course you are,” Thoma replies smoothly, there’s a brief pause as Thoma quietens. Although there was no way you couldn’t feel his Adam’s apple bob in such close proximity, you pretended not to notice as Thoma swallowed nervously, steeling himself for what he was about to say next.

“By the way, I was serious about framing your painting in my room… Baby.”

For the affectionate moments ask meme. Clack and 22.

Send me a number & a pairing and I'll write a little something

22: Caught in a storm

"Well this sucks." Cloud grumbles as he holds his right hand out.

Thick raindrops immediately pool in his hands, becoming a tiny lake formed by warm skin and creviced wrinkles. He drops the beads with a frown and they dot the pavement like a watercolor canvas.

"I mean, it's not like getting drenched is gonna be an issue."

Cloud turns his frowned face to his left, where Zack stares up at the raining gray sky with his hands clasped comfortably behind his head. "I mean, we're at a pool--getting wet is kind of the idea."

"Still, they made us get out of the water anyway. 'just in case there's lightning'. Who knows how long this will take to pass?" Cloud glances up at the sky as well, but winces with a quiet yelp when a raindrop immediately enters his eye.

Great, just great. The one time they decide to go swimming this summer, a sudden storm just haaaad to roll in.

They had this planned weeks in advance, making sure their vacation time lined up just perfectly to give them a few days to spend together. Plus, Zack had been begging him to do some swimming this summer, as they didn't last summer. (Mainly because Cloud burns like a boiled lobster in the sun and then spends the next few days peeling like a carrot.)

"Mommaaaa I wanna go play in the waterrr!" A small boy whines from Cloud's right, where his eyes catch the small brown-haired boy tugging impatiently on his tired-looking mother's hand.

"I know, honey, I know. But until the storm passes we can't." She explains.

"Maaaan!" A teenage girl huffs from Zack's left. "Now I'll never get any tanner." She crosses her arms over her chest.

Jeeze, the atmosphere is just as sudden and gloomy as the storm.

"...Hey Cloud?"

"Hmm?"

He turns his head to glance at his boyfriend, only to find he has a wild smirk on his face.

"Permission to do something stupid?" The smile grows.

So does the gnawing dread in Cloud's stomach.

"Permission deni-"

Not giving him a chance for rebuttal, Zack grabs his hand tightly and dashes forward, pulling him right along with as he elicits a cry of surprise.

"CANNONBAAAAAALLLL!!!"

Zack runs straight to the deep end of the pool and jumps right in, dragging him right along with.

"AAA--"

Cloud's scream is immediately drowned by water submerging his head. But before he has time to panic, Zack tugs him back up and his head breaks the surface, where he gasps and coughs a little from what water did go into his open mouth.

"What the fuck, Zack??" Cloud gripes and turns a harsh frown on him.

However, Zack is all grins and smiles and he still holds onto his hand. "What? We came here to swim and that's what we're gonna do! I'm not gonna let a lil ole storm stop our plans!"

"Do you want to get electrocuted??" With his free hand, he splashes his impulsive boyfriend in the face.

"Akkphtbth!" Zack coughs when the highly chlorinated water goes into his mouth and his face twists into a frown. "There isn't even any thunder, Cloud!" Though he looks like he has a revelation. "Haha! Thunder, Cloud! Get it?" His eyes sparkle.

Cloud's face deadpans and he splashes him in the face again, resulting in another awkward noise.

But surprisingly, more splashes resound and he knows he didn't splash Zack again. When Cloud glances behind him, he sees other people jumping into the water anyway. The boy once tugging at his mom's arm is now doggy-paddling in the shallow end, three teenage boys are roughhousing somewhere near the middle, and some adults are rushing to get some slippery jumps off the diving board. The two lifeguards get rightfully upset, but are unable to do anything.

"See? Now we can all have fun again!" Zack's smile grows even wider and he throws himself at Cloud, wrapping him up tightly and with his free hand, rubbing a noogie into his head.

"Cut it out!" He whines, trying to break out of the hold but being unable to.

"No~"

But honestly, as much as those callused knuckles and rough noogies annoy him, he takes them all in stride. Because at least like this, he has an excuse to be close to Zack, even if he calls him an asshole by the time the noogie is done. And when it is done, he simply holds onto him for a minute.

The cold raindrops slither against his arms and head, but wrapped up against Zack's never-endingly warm arms and chest, it's peaceful. He closes his eyes and the sounds of splashing and laughter and Zack's heartbeat echo in his ears.

"Wanna watch me do a bellyflop off the diving board?" Zack blurts.

Cloud snorts out a laugh. He would ruin the moment with some stupid idea. But he loves him for it all the same.

"Sure. Just don't come crying to me when your stomach hurts later."

"No promises~" Zack winks.

So that's how they ended up swimming in a pool while caught in a little rain storm.

At least Cloud didn't burn this time.

(At least, not too badly anyway.)

I think this one was waaaaay longer than my first one oops I got carried away ahaha XD This was a blast though! Thanks so much for the prompt!! 💚

These are fun!! If there's any more you wanna see send me another ask! Even if you've asked before! (Just done ask for the same one lmao XD)

[skadren]

For the wips, because I adore your work ❤️ a summary of each WIP? BUT for the ones you've already given summaries for, maybe share one of your favorite details for those you haven't summarized, like what part you love writing the most about it!

wip ask game

aaa thank you <3 we'll just go down the list then, skipping the first two for zine reasons!

elegy rewrite: if there are still any of you who don't know what elegy actually is, it's an au where asgzc got together in cc-era but canon still went to shit. when asgz are brought back to life, cloud doesn't remember anything about their past relationship, so now they have to figure out why they were brought back to life while actually dealing with the emotional repercussions of their actions during crisis core

agoraphobia: really really having fun exploring the queerplatonic undertones of this iteration of cloud and vincent's relationship ngl. like they've always strayed towards that end of the spectrum for me personally but this is the most overt i've ever made it. self indulgence on max

take me to church: lots and lots of gothic vibes. yes this is in fact how i'm unpacking my catholic upbringing. shhhh

owo: that one pwp i promised ages and ages ago for aitr feat. bottom seph

noncommunicative bastards: there's fake dating at some point where everyone in avalanche knows strifentine are fake dating but then they actually get together and no one believes they're together. why, you ask? because i think it's funny

puppet au: because this was supposed to be for this year's sefikura week one of the prompts i planned to fill was pears. please imagine pears fitting into this depressing storyline somewhere and tell me how, i also think it'd be hilarious to see what any of you came up with

deity au: so fun fact i thought this was the sephiroth-is-homura au but i went and actually checked and. this is what i wrote for our brainstorming together ash it's not a wip after all. oops. and sephiroth-is-homura au is only a wip in my heart, it does not exist in google drive

foreigner's god: sequel to stormborne. cloud ends up traveling with seph and vincent and they end up gathering all of avalanche together once again in a quest to take down the reactors, which vincent is insistent on doing in god-cloud's honor. i am 100% tempted to bring genesis in as sent by shinra to stop them but ending up with a giant crush on both cloud and vincent, which drives sephiroth absolutely insane. who is going to stop me

ripples, blood and wine follow-up, and unchanging, everchanging sort of all go in a category together, i guess, as taking place in blood and wine 'verse. ripples and unchanging, everchanging are concurrent with blood and wine while the follow-up is, well, a follow-up. fun fact unchanging, everchanging and fierce and free are both named after ffxiv zone music from areas in the first

allhallowtide: cloud wakes up as a ghost in shinra manor, whose other ghostly residents help him settle in. but the resident vampire vincent doesn't seem as fond of him, and he seems to know something about cloud's death that no one else does [cue ominous music]. maybe one day i will finally finish it.... it'll have to be around halloween for the vibe though

medieval au: oh THIS is an old old old one with a ton of worldbuilding i don't have room to go over here. a sort of cinderella-esque sefikura au where cloud, tifa, and aerith sneak into a three-day ball to try to get information on soldier, an elite fighting force tasked with protecting the king. they'll have to get past them in order to help aerith reclaim her rightful throne. there's a scene where cloud's disguise fades at midnight and his eyes start to glow when he and sephiroth stare at each other from across the room it's all very dramatic

fuck.txt: pwp for elegy that may or may not need to be completely scrapped depending on how the rewrite goes :(

#skadren rambles #too many ideas... not enough time #i want to write all of these and so i end up writing none of these #such is the plight of a writer #long post

aaa congrats on 300 ! could I request a blueberry muffin with 12 and 10 with pieck ??? thank u sm !!!

Ah another Pieck request ! Yes of course you can! I'm never one to turn down AOT girl related content.

And just before we start : Your weight does not define your worth. You are deserving of love and all things great, even if you’ve gained weight, you’re deserving of love even if you don’t fit society’s standards of beauty (which are total bullshit if I may add). 

Now, let’s get on with it :))

10- "I'm so proud of you."

12- You've gained weight ? And so what ? I don't give a fuck."

Genre : Fluff, Comfort

Warnings : None

Pieck’s eyes gazed over the menu, scanning the deserts after the two of you had just shared a lovely meal together, a content smile on her lips and heart warm in her chest. 

This had been a wonderful day. The two of you had taken a long stroll by the port, looking through small stands of local merchants, the Sun gently shining down upon you and glistening on the surface of the water like melted gold. The sky blue above you, clouds of cotton white slowly drifting by, carried by a quiet wind. 

And after some time just looking around, the two of you had decided to sit down at a restaurant, perfect to finish your date and then head home for cuddles and a nap. 

And everything had been wonderful until desert came. 

Your lover observed you from across the table, your lips pressed together as you stared at the pastry in front of you, uncertainty and doubt flitting through your (e/c) eyes.

“Baby, is everything alright ? We can ask the chef to change it if you want something else.” Her sweet voice broke through the shadows lurking in your mind and you looked up, gaze meeting hers and guilt creeping up your chest.

“No it’s fine. I like this one.” You reassured with a small smile, hoping this would tame her worries. 

But Pieck knew you by heart, could read through you like glass, and something was obviously wrong. 

She leaned over the table, dark brown eyes locking with yours clouded with worry. “Do you want to talk about it ?” She queried quietly, placing a soft hand over yours on the table. 

You knew she’d never force you to confide in her, not if you didn’t want to. But you couldn’t keep these thoughts to yourself. So ignoring the snake of shame wrapping around your brain, you tried to come up with a way tot ell her.

Your eyes averted to the table. 

“Do you think I should eat this ?” You asked, voice so small and lacking your usual confidence that her heart cracked. 

“Baby, you like this don’t you ? So why shouldn’t you ?” She answered, tilting her head to the side, genuinely concerned. 

Were you sick ? Was it the heat outside which had played tricks on you ? Did you need a glass of water ? Had she done or said something wrong ?

“I’ve put on weight lately...” You admitted, rubbing your arm. “So I don’t know, maybe I should pass.” 

Her heart sank to the floor. 

Had she missed something ? Maybe you had put gained some pounds but this wasn’t anything to worry about, right ? Couldn’t you see how beautiful you were ? How bright you stood wherever you went ? 

She shook her head, hand folding over yours and bringing it to her lips for a loving kiss, your soft skin like velvet under her touch. 

“No, I won’t have that.” She said, “(Y/n), I love you, truly I do. But sometimes you can say such silly things.” 

She gazed at you, chocolate eyes brimming with so much warmth and love you thought it might actually spill and trickle down her cheeks.  

“You’ve put on weight ? And so what ? I don’t give a damn.” She continued. “Sweetie, you’re beautiful. And gaining weight isn’t necessarily a bad thing. You still deserve to enjoy your desert.” She reassured, softly smiling at you and your heart swelled in your chest. 

“So you don’t love me any less ? Or find me disgusting ? Or-”

“No, and I could never.” She cut you off, unwilling to hear more from you. “I love you (Y/n), and some additional weight isn’t going to change that. You’re still as beautiful to me. And I’m so proud of you.” 

She rained kisses on your knuckles, warm  tingles coursing over your skin from the tip of your fingers to your core, heart fluttering in your chest.

“And let me tell you that your weight is the least interesting thing about you.” 

A smile finally pulled the corners of your lips, her words chasing away your doubts and fears. So easily, you wondered if Pieck didn’t have some sort of psychic powers. 

She always found the words. Always knew how to make warmth and comfort blossom in your chest. 

And suddenly, your desert looked much more appetising.

i guess more than anything i worry about u taking ur own life bc it sounds like u r unhappy so much

hm i see [tw : mentions of suicide, medications, issues, pills, please read at your own comfort anon]

well u see anon, i'm muslim right jnsdn this is going to sound so meaningless considering my life is like on the line, but everyone takes sins really seriously, so even if i kill myself, i'll end up in guaranteed suffering, which is hell, even if i dont know if its real or not i just cant take the chance or that stupid risk

honestly i'm more scared of what i actually am capable of than what could happen

so much has actually happened ever since Feb, its really hard to process aaa, my family, my studies, my friends, my well being, myself

honestly i dont think it was necessary, whatever happened, but alas, who cares about that? it happened and i just have to deal with it

its true I'm unhappy, i just want to end this temporary suffering. Because of all of this stress, ive developed some,,, how should i say,,, uh conditions. It prevents me from actually stressing, or everything will get worse and worse and i'll be on those "not safe for kids" pills again

everyday it really does get worse with even worse news

but its okay. i can fight my fear, I prevented myself from a lot when I was 10,11, 12, and I can still do it. I know what it feels like to be happy, so I'll fight.

so don't worry about me leaving. Yeah, its scary, but I'll never do that to you guys. if I do have to go, somehow, unknowingly, unexpectedly, you all will always be someone really close to my heart, and all my best wishes really reach out to you

one day, when its all over, we'll be able to meet in the clouds.

but I'm here for now so you're stuck w me screaming on your dash dnkjd

#apologies anon this got longer than expected #ask kai #kai's marble collection #anon :DD

WARNING FOR ALL MALES FROM ME when buying a security device for a loved one.

Last weekend I saw something at The Gun Show that sparked my interest. I was looking for a little something different for my wife Dana. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer.

The effects of the Taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse effect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.

AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Dana what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right?

There I sat in my recliner, my cat Leo looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.

I must admit I thought about zapping Leo (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. He is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised.

Am I wrong?

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a singlet with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and Taser in another.

The directions said that:

a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant;

a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and

a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water.

Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.

All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'

What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.

I'm sitting there alone, the cat looking on with his head cocked to one side so as to say, 'Don't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it.

I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and...

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WHAT THE... !!! I AM CERTAIN I JUST MET JESUS!!!

I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

Note:

If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a Taser,

one note of caution:

There is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor!

A three second burst would be considered conservative!

A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.

· My bent reading glasses were on the top of the TV.

· The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was.

· My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching.

· My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.

· I had no control over the drooling.

· Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone.

· I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair.

I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!

PS: My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it!

WARNING FOR ALL MALES FROM ME when buying a security device for a loved one.

Last weekend I saw something at The Gun Show that sparked my interest. I was looking for a little something different for my wife Dana. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer.

The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.

AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Dana what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right?

There I sat in my recliner, my cat Leo looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.

I must admit I thought about zapping Leo (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. He is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised.

Am I wrong?

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a singlet with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and Tazer in another.

The directions said that:

a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant;

a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and

a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water.

Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.

All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'
