Leander: I always keep a bat by my bed, you never know how close your enemies actually are. Kuras: Indeed. Which is why I sleep with a gun under my pillow. Mhin: I sleep with a knife. Vere: Pfff, you three are pathetic. Mhin: Oh yeah? What do you sleep with? Vere: Ais. :3

Teasing #01
[For C+C week hosted by @candcweek. Prompt: childhood + family]
“Quick, while no one’s looking,” Celegorm whispered, tugging at Curufin’s shirt sleeve to get him to move faster. 
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” The younger boy half-complained as he was pulled from the living room and out the door to the yard.
Their escape from the house went unnoticed except for a pair of dark eyes that watched them sneak away from the chore their mother assigned them. They ran through the glen to the pasture, thrilled by the thought of what they’d planned to do. They parted at the fence, Celegorm climbing over and Curufin rolling under the wooden barrier keeping the horses contained. 
Celegorm whistled sharply when his feet touched the ground, calling the horses. He laughed when his horse, a black three-year-old mare with white markings, raised her head and broke into a gallop from the far end of the pasture to reach him before any of the other horses could. She knew he had a treat for her somewhere in his overalls. 
“Pick one,” He instructed as he stroked the mare’s neck and pulled the last few bites of an apple out of his pocket for her.
Curufin looked up at the horses grounding around them. At nine years old, he didn’t have his own horse yet and either rode one of his brothers’ or one of Uncle Fingolfin’s mares. He was rather jealous that everyone had a special horse except for him, but Pa promised that they’d keep a foal for him soon. Until then, he just had to put up with riding any old horse.
“Where are we going?” He asked, trying to grab a mane before the horses all realized the boys didn’t have any special food for the rest of them and wandered away. Unfortunately, they were all just out of reach (his height was another thing to complain about. Why was he so short when Maedhros was the size of a tree?).
Celegorm grabbed the mane of a tan mare that Uncle Fingolfin sent to them in the spring. His horse waited patiently beside him, knowing he would take her out for a ride. “Take this one,” He said, ignoring the question for the moment.
With a boost from his brother, Curufin managed to climb onto the horse’s back. His legs stuck out a little awkwardly around her sides—her pregnancy was becoming obvious. He would have picked someone else if he’d been able to, but Celegorm likely wouldn’t be willing to chase down a different one for him and he didn’t want to get left behind from whatever adventure they were going on.
“Let’s go!” Celegorm scrambled up onto his mare, nudging her into a walk toward the closed gate.
There, they met their first problem.
“What are you doing?” Caranthir demanded, standing just on the other side of the gate. He folded his arms over his chest. “Ma gave you chores.”
Celegorm rolled his eyes. “We’re just going to be gone for a little bit. There’ll be time to finish when we get back if you aren’t done by then.”
“Yeah,” Curufin piped up, leaning out around the horse’s neck to see better. “If you aren’t done by then.”
Caranthir glared at them. “I’m not going to do everything! You have to help.”
Celegorm leaned down to unlatch the gate. “What are you going to do about it?” He asked with a smirk. “Cry to Mae and Mags?”
“I don’t cry.”
“Sure you do.” Celegorm kicked the gate open with his foot. Caranthir scrambled out of the way. “You’re even more of a crybaby than Curu is.”
“Hey!” Curufin exclaimed as his horse walked slowly through the exit. That wasn’t nice, they were on the same side! But Celelgorm had a point, so he turned to his older brother and said, “Yeah, and I cry a lot.”
Caranthir stuck out his bottom lip. “I’m not a crybaby.”
Celegorm trotted his horse out of the pasture and tugged on her mane to get her to circle around his brother once. “How about you close the gate for me, baby?”
“Stop calling me a baby. I’m not a baby!” The black-haired boy stomped his foot in frustration.
Celegorm stared down from atop the mare. He felt very tall sitting all the way up there instead of standing in the dirt. “Look, Curu, he’s starting to cry.”
Not in a spot to actually see either of their faces, Celegorm snickered anyway.
“I’m not crying!” Despite the words, tears pricked at the corners of Caranthir’s eyes. He was so angry. He just wanted help with the chores that they were supposed to be doing together. 
With a gleeful laugh, Celegorm let fly his final insult. “Little pissbaby’s crying!”
With a cry, the twelve-year-old lunged forward, throwing his shoulder into the mare’s chest. She tossed her head and stepped back, surprised more than anything. Her blond rider flailed his arms, scrambling to keep his balance. Before either of them recovered, Caranthir turned and fled back toward the house.
“Damn,” Celegorm murmured when he finally recovered. Sighing in disappointment, he slid to the ground so he could close and latch the gate.
“So, where’re we going?” Curufin asked again once his brother remounted. It’d better be somewhere good. It’d be too bad if the most exciting part of the adventure was teasing Caranthir.
“Oh,” Celegorm shrugged. “Why don’t we ride out to Twisted Tree Hollow?”
Curufin’s mouth opened in a little ‘o’. “We can’t go that far on our own.”
“Don’t tell me you’re scared.”
He shook his head. He wasn’t scared of anything—except of the goat with a broken horn and the weird stringy roots Ma sometimes put in strews and the way trees sometimes moaned when the air was still and–
“Then let’s go. We’re not babies. We’re brave.”
With that, Celegorm dug a toe into his horse's side and took off across the glen, racing for the winding path up the mountain. Curufin had to kick his disinterested mare several times to get her to move faster than a walk so he wasn’t left behind.

Alright imagine this, A Soft SAGAU, where the reader wakes up on an island off the coast with nothing but beasts and a camp of Hili's for company. Reader decides, that they are just staying there for now, while everyone else tears Teyvat apart looking for the reader who is busy teaching the Hili's new things and enjoying barbeques with them. Meanwhile the Abyss is busy laughing themselves sick at everyone not being able to find them. Also, have you ever played Arknights?
God i love this thought of reader chilling with the hillichurls especially after all the stuff that happened with the chasm's new archon quest. (I think @/rea-can-yeet might've done some art based on this w/ rubedo)
In the same way that its often headcannoned for reader to be able to lessen Xiao's karmic debt, do you think the same works for the Hillis and Dain?
Maybe just being around the reader for the Hillichurls makes them feel much better and puts their minds at ease, and when you dance with them and sing their songs they feel so at home. As if they'd never left in the first place.
The hillichurls aren't as obsessed as your acolytes are, but they do still love you! They give you gifts and they won't harass you if you try to leave, they just want whatever will make you happiest. It honestly makes you so guilty for having ever harmed them. But it wasn't like you had much of a choice. And also dancing with the abyss twin 0 - 0
Because the abyss and the hillichurls have some sort of alliance going on so the abyss figures out your location quickly. And when they find you dancing along with the hillichurls... imagine Lumine/Aether asking to dance with you.
Anyyyyyyyyways-
Imagine the abyss twin having connections with the Tsaritsa/the fatui (i don't think this is canon i just feel like it could be a thing) and then meeting the Tsaritsa and the harbingers next and... imagine ballroom dancing with the tsaritsa and/or the abyss twin + the harbingers...okay putting that back in my drafts-
and then imagine how jealous the other archons and acolytes get when they realize you met the hillichurls the abyss and the fatui before you met them. You've been killing them this entire time and now you're so happily dancing with them, not even trying to contact them :( it's enough to break their hearts.
But you couldn't help yourself, when you found yourself on the beach surrounded by surprisingly friendly hillichurls you couldn't help but befriend them. And then one thing led to another and now you're far too deep to go back and oops this is fatui au now and you and the tsaritsa are married/hj
anyways im gonna stop making this about the tsaritsa-
Just gonna say I think making music while the hillichurls dance would be the most wholesome thing even. Imagine having your favorite non-important genshin character beside you while you do it too.
Like I get all genshin characters are important/famous in one way or another but like Noelle and Xiangling, maybe even Kazuha. They're not some government officials, and not too closely connected with very important people. So imagine just vibing on the beach with them, making music, cooking, doing whatever makes you happy on the beach shore with the hillichurls accompanying you.
I think it'd be fun.
also i used to play arknights! I stopped playing once Genshin launched tho dksjrksdjr I did like it a lot tho and i've wanted to get back into playing it!

I've gotten some pretty funny matchups during this event so far, the mental images they elicit bring me a lot more joy than they probably should

I was actually planning on posting these tonight anyway, but in light of… um… recent events. This is even more fitting! @bunnieswithknives’s Villain Jimmy Animatic really inspired me so I did a couple of screenshot redraws of some of the scenes from the animatic! (Go check out the original :D)
As much as the reality of villain jimmy greatly saddens me, I do think… maybe he kind of deserves it. As a treat.

and i was wondering why mystra treats her chosen like That but:
Mystra's secret was that she was more powerful than any god, save for Lord Ao, but therein lay the secret. Roughly half of her power lay in her Chosen and in the lesser power Azuth, as planned by Ao so that Mystra did not rule all Realmspace.[21]
so she hates them. she can't be mad at ao so she manipulates mortals and takes out her frustration on them, particularly her chosen. and they feel indebted to her because without her favor they would be lesser. like even in the game, elminster at his ripe age of like 1300 is practically falling over himself to apologize to gale for having to even suggest that gale kill himself for mystra, but then in the next breath impresses on his friend that he absolutely must do what mystra says and mystra wouldn't ask if it weren't the only way, etc etc. like she didn't just send elminster as an errand boy or to make her message hurt gale more because he and elminster are friends, but she also sent elminster (twice!) because it would hurt him.

Tsukuyomi ツクヨミ
alt. 月読、月夜見: Japanese Moon God, implied to be male, not major deity but has some tales, notably when he killed a food goddess at a feast bc he was disgusted by how she created food from her body. His sister-wife Sun Goddess Amaterasu, horrified by his action, was so angry she exiled him from Heaven and refused to look at him again, thus is how day-night separated as Sun & Moon never meet.
With our snotty sleazy God on the Moon, I must wonder if Tsukuyomi, lit. The Moon God Org., is related, as they seem so eager to fetch Psykos, the “Third Eye” who can see the future, who we know from the swirly planetary mental imagery, has had prior contact with God.
Chapter I: Apollo
——*Welcome to Moon Craters Highway Radio for road rage therapy and drive escapades, what a lovely sunny noon out here! All's calm yet why do I smell the musty rot of evil afoot? Whatever could it be?
We hear your engines rumble with excitement, so take a seat on the passenger's side as we go full throttle on a wild ride through the hearth of our roads! —Only at the Hero Association HQ~*
Commentary brought to you by Apollo's poison pill (still stuck in his eye help me out)
Of course, damp stagnant underground spaces, with lack of ventilation n ever loom of darkness, are the perfect ground for unhygienic practices, such as the proliferation of (virulent) microbes…
Why is it always the smiley mask suit man
Tumblr media
Rich. Mysterious. Creepy. What an atmosphere.
He comes to collect samples for experiment on behalf of his assoc., “for research purposes,” he says humbly, but not surprised to see him refer to live human like an object. Mad scientist? No, meticulously evil scientist.
Tumblr media
God I can smell his perfume two lots away and it reeks of evil, ill omen.
Which brand d'you bet the Moon agents wear? I throw Hugo as an option. Strong and obnoxious
Notice how a mere agent exudes enough latent, passive psychic energy for Fubuki to sense it? And she seems to feel it quite strongly. I expect him to be decently troublesome.
Oops… it would be all for naught if the precious brain gets damaged, now, wouldn't it… because as the rumoured “Third Eye” we heard so much about, the secret to future vision also lies here…he says, as cradles her head gently, coldly, with -out an ounce of affection, only ambition for an excellent sample acquired for nefarious deeds.
Tumblr media
“Would you like to torture her?” “No need,” he replies, brief but courteous enough.
Now I'm not sure what he did to Psykos there, it looks like a psychic gunshot or taser, but clearly all they care about's her brain and what it holds. They may not torture her (doubt they wouldn't), but they would only keep her sane/alive enough to extract momentous pieces for their research.
ラボで開頭して隅々まで調べます
隅々まで sumizumi made (reduplicative): lit. to the end of every corner, every nook and cranny, all the ins and outs
調べる: to investigate, examine, check, look into
“We'll perform a craniotomy back at the lab to explore every nook and cranny”
No need for torture, they'll do much worse.
His way of speech makes my skeleton want to crawl out of my flesh.
Absolutely Unhinged.
Tumblr media
I can't tell what emotion he has capacity for, but mb he's so surprised his pupils went o_o; or mb even it's his spark of idea expression to bait and catch Fubuki too. He has no eyebrows, must've exchanged them for maximum zappy. N why he look like a Demon Slayer chara except deflated.
Notice how exec went “Oi guards, can't you see our generous Mr. Sponsor is…” at Fubuki group, straight from diplomatic, an almost obsequious customer service voice* to an imperative voice of displeased authority.
*eg. prior scene when exec welcomed him with: お待ち申し上げておりました。どうぞこちらへ。 “We've expected you. Please, this way.” It's hard to explain but they used respectful language for every part there. It's humble deferential speech, expected formality, but the fact they're polite to an outsider w data (next) yet irritated by Fubuki and only scared when Tatsumaki comes… they know their shady deals can't be exposed.
Now as Tatsumaki cracks down the door roof to your crimes, fearsome as a tornado can be, I fell for their act like a diet pill down a beauty's tea.
Tumblr media
“Don't interfere, you outsider!!” And she makes modern art out of our Moon agent.
Fear not, he is sturdy. And smart enough to knock out unneeded eyes of execs and security.
Don't we all love an ambidextrous multitasker?
Tumblr media
“How convenient. I'll make you sisters souvenir too.” An excellent addition, if only you could get your hands on them so easily as you wish.
She yeet him so hard he lost his coat, or he took it off bc he activated Serious Solar Storm. Well, the starry Cosmic Garou shirt looks dapper but better not just toss your coat on the ground at a rival's house if it has your valuables.
His tie has a U crescent idk the specific term for but if I search without scientific names is weird. Prefer scientific detail til I can sort out the lores. Apparently, the moon is related to clairvoyance. Believe what you will but I feel Moon Readers of Tsukuyomi seek out prophecy not to be sought.
Maybe moon phases on their ties correspond to rank and power.He's just a henchman after all. If agents have phases, mb the boss has full moon. Mb also means “power” is completed, but I feel it is dangerous to reach completed power.
When we saw God crawl out of his crusty moon den, the moon was lit on top ◠ an angle difficult & unnatural from earth. If ◡ crescent is humans, opposite you reach God, “ascended” as Fubuki said. Except it's NOT somewhere to ascend. We already saw why not to connect with God.
So break my tangent, let's get back on track.
As his aura crackles with flames, our agent pats off dust and engages Tatsumaki. Heh, not bad… She looks down at him, literally and figuratively, a little lab rat should be no big deal for her, but,
Fubuki comments, “He's strong.” Perhaps not unmanageable, but def stronger than expected.
Tumblr media
Sure enough, he starts off strong.
Fubuki may not be the strongest esper by sheer power output-wise, but she is not imperceptive. Remember when Gearsper's energy output was so strong she almost mistook it for her sister? When she senses power, she really senses it. So I'd trust her judgement of its strength at least.
Oof—the gust, the gales, what sandy breeze on our sails. Guess he can hold his own, for now.
Tumblr media
Let's take a moment to appreciate Murata's flex of artistic muscles before moon agent tires out.
“…I may be at a slight disadvantage…” Slight??Pathetic, Tatsumaki ridicules.
Your starry scars look about to burst, heed your limit, man. You'll get dust in your eyes- oh oops, I'll shut it, I'm an ill omen. Bite my tongue Bide my time Baby I'm not even here
Tumblr media
“Poor Guinea Pig”
“Hmph, you needn't belittle me so, you know…” I do wonder if you can still keep on your air of condescension if you know what I'm about to do.
Did she really just call him a “Pitiful Marmot”?
モルモット: transliteration - marmot.
I thought it strange for marmot to mean guinea pig as an experiment animal like an equivalent of lab rat, so I dug round, turns out it's historical language confusion, not much we can do about it now. What's the unfortunate chosen animal of your language(s)?
Tbh, I'd add Pitiful Marmot to my vocabulary, for most affectionate purposes, of course.
It looks like she hit the nail on the head cuz her slight hurt the artificial esper's pride enough to set off the next step of Apollo's mission.
Now y'all done it. He broke the capsule! sleepy…
No! You Fool. Afoollo Why you gotta expose me like that. Why'd you out your strategy?! You had Data yet can't grasp her ability??! Thought you could outsmart and overpower her? Fool. You just jeopardized your precious junior's effort and lost your trump card. Well, I don't know how precious he is to you but you should prolly cherish him a little for he's considerate enough to bail you out of your stupid mistakes and drive you home with a bloody concussion.
Tumblr media
“Natural Espers are a defective species. Perish.”
Brother your logic is defective. If natural espers didn't exist how can artificial ones like you ever exist hah? You even need existent natural ones alive to create your artificial comrades.
I must ask though, what did he mean with they “lack balance and harmony”? Did he mean they rely on psychic power so much they're physically weak??
His face just gets creepier. Then he pulls a stunt and I wonder if Tatsumaki rly had a hard time or just let him get the illusion of victory to locate the pill. —*More on Apollo's Mission next post.

the end of askoh: 15/08
words written so far: 3,313 current word count: 80,772
just like i did two years ago, i've given myself a stupidly tight time frame to finish ASKOH in. that time frame? today. i've already surpassed the last draft's word count, but two years ago i only had 10,000 words to write. this year i'll have to write 12,000 words to finish at my target word count today!
my game plan: write for two hours, then change location to keep myself focused. i've already finished two chapters, so now i'm going to have a shower, then maybe go to a coffee shop to write for another two hours.
