Nimona headcanons I wrote instead of sleeping

Sometimes the boys forget that Nimona isn’t human 

Like they’re used to the shifting into animals aspect of Nimona because she does it as often as she breathes

But sometimes she’ll do some really creepy shit like make her arms longer to reach something when she’s too lazy to get up

One time they shifted just their neck to be like an owl so they could turn their head 180 degrees instead of just turning around cause that was “too boring” 

Or he’ll mimic people’s voices without realizing it 

Sometimes he’ll tell a story and suddenly he’s using Bal’s voice 

The first time she did this Bal searched the whole house cause he was convinced that Todd has snuck in

Or she’ll grow an extra arm to hold more shit and they take a moment to realize “oh yeah we adopted a little weirdo” 

They get used to it after a while and the arguments surrounding it are always funny because both the boys will complain and say “I don’t sound like that” and they have to be told “No love you do you really do” 

You know those videos of babies reacting to their parents shaving their facial hair or putting on glasses 

That’s Nimona's reaction every single time the boys change their appearance even the smallest bit they cant shave or wear their reading glasses because if they do he freaks out 

Talking some “help me Nemesis I heard bosses voice but I can’t find him” while Bal was standing right in front of them 

It was the first time he shaved his face in years and he’s never doing it again 

Mostly cause Ambrosius kept telling him he looked like a teenager and it was freaking him out 

I feel like Bal and Ambrosius are those kinds of people who will tell people about the little injuries but neglect the big ones 

Like Bal mentioned that he thinks he sprained his ankle during the fight at the institute but he won’t mention that he’s pretty sure he got a concussion 

(BECAUSE THIS MAN HEAD-BUTTED TWO PEOPLE WHEN HE HAS A METAL ARM) 

(I’m bout to wrap this man in bubble wrap and give him a helmet because wtf) 

Ambrosius will complain the whole day about the fact that he has a paper cut

But will completely neglect to inform his doctors “Oh yeah I can’t move my left arm higher than my waist without pain and I can’t see that well out of my left eye or hear that well out of my left ear do you think that’ll be a problem?” 

It isn’t until Nimona makes an off handed comment about how this super weird that the laser did basically nothing to him that he told both of them

They literally dragged him to the ER because “Who thinks those symptoms are normal Nemesis what is wrong in that pretty little head of yours!!” 

When Bal tells Nimona she’s being a bit of a hypocrite (cause who refers to an arrow as a splinter?) she turns to him and says “I know you’re not saying something Mr. Human battering ram” 

It took literally everything in Ambrosius not to break down laughing

After that she forces them to have frequent checkups with the doctor because these dorks wouldn’t go otherwise

Honestly I'm fully convinced that some people in the kingdom don't know who Nimona is and are constantly confused why they let this little weirdo follow them around 

And finally the curiosity will eat away at them and they’ll finally ask 

Sometimes the boys will give some “normal” answers like “Oh that’s Nimona” and they won’t elaborate at all

Sometimes they’ll give funnier answers like “Oh that’s a raccoon we found in the garage who turned into a person one day” “I don’t know they just showed up in our living room” and their personal best “You see her too?” 

And their favorite that they only started using a couple of years down the line “Oh that’s our kid”

please dont ever leave such a rude comment on anyone else's fic

i know my writing is terrible, and i felt really iffy about pitting such a terrible fic out there, and it's clear to me now that i should have never posted it. yours was the ONLY comment i got. and all you said was "I don't get it?"

why was that necessary? why couldn't you just click out of the fic? i can't stop crying. it hurts so so much to be so compelled to create & know that everything i try to make is garbage, and no one even cares that it hurts. why couldn't you just leave it be?

First of all, I want to apologize, my comment hurt you, that was not my intention at all and for that I am so extremely sorry.

Looking back on that now I realize I could’ve phrased that way better than I did. What I meant and really should’ve elaborated on in my original comment was that I didn’t quite understand why exactly they got mad at him and asked him to leave, and was hoping you could explain so I could understand your story better! I honestly just assumed it was a cultural reference that I didn’t understand, not ever something to do with the writing itself. I think your writing was great actually! It included some of my favorite characters from the series and had them interact with each other, which was what drew me in in the first place. I would love to read more from you, I really would!

For what it’s worth, I think you should keep creating! Creating anything at all is such a wonderful thing and I’m so happy you chose to share that creation with others, even if it didn’t seem to get the response you were hoping for at first.

I do understand that it can be hard to share those creations though, you feel anxious and self-conscious and you’re afraid people will dislike it or think it’s bad, and it’s completely reasonable and understandable to feel that way! I know I’ve felt like that about plenty of my works! Sharing your creations with others is to share a piece of yourself, a piece of your heart with them. It’s understandable that you want that piece to be well taken care of, and I’m sorry I didn’t do that.

Unintentional or not, I hurt you with my words and made you feel horrible about your writing and yourself, and I sincerely cannot express enough how sorry I am for that. You don’t have to forgive me, but know that I mean every word I’ve said here.

Please, keep creating, the world will always be better for it.

#i speak #/gen #/srs #I know I kinda rambled a little bit there but I hope my message was clear #I really do feel bad about hurting you :C #I was sleep deprived and scrolling through ao3 at 1 am and didn’t think my words through but that’s no excuse #I’m so so incredibly sorry

[euargh]

I kind of like going without sleep a for long while. My emotions are numb, but my body is exhausted yet I put tons of effort into pushing on to do things. I'm also mentally not really here part of the time. Also how the outside turns to light then to dark then to light then to dark then to light then to dark then to light and individual days now feel like years yet they go by so fast

【Note: Hello! I have decided to write short headcanons for a few men in this game [playable only, sorry Oleg simps (*_ _)人], excuse any fluency errors, English isn't my first language, and I am still learning as I go! Please enjoy, and don't hesitate to request anything; I'm open to suggestions!】

【Pairings: Dan Heng, Gepard, Jing Yuan x GN!READER】

【CW: none!】

☆〜DAN HENG〜☆

He enjoys your company even if you two aren't speaking; simply being aware of your presence near him when he's focused on something insignificant, like reading a book, relaxes him.

Definitely has a soft spot for you and lets go of his usual cold and reserved demeanor when you two are alone.

There have been a few instances of him unconsciously beaming at you as he got lost in thought, looking at your excited face while you rambled about something you're passionate about. He'd never admit to it, though, if you called him out on it.

Prefers to be the big spoon mainly because he loves the feeling of your back pressing against his chest when your breathing slows as you fall asleep.

However, he appreciates it if you ask to be the big spoon whenever he has a nightmare or one of his visions.

He has little relationship experience [renheng ＼(º □ º l|l)/], so as committed as he is to making you feel loved and appreciated, he searches the data bank in the archives for information on romantic gestures and comes across a book about the significance of pet names. After "educating" himself more, he may refer to you as "my love," "darling," or even "baby" if he's feeling particularly lovey-dovey.

Dan Heng isn't a jealous boyfriend; nevertheless, if something bothers him, he becomes touchy! Always holding your arm or wrapping his hand around your waist.

Haven only just awakened, he's such a sleepy cutie! He'd try to kiss you but miss and peck your chin instead.

☆〜GEPARD〜☆

He's an exceptionally blushy guy, and it's pretty simple to make him flustered. Just hold his hand, and he'll melt.

No matter how long you've been together, Gepard loves to kiss but will never do it without getting your consent first. His kisses are short and gentle, but they are also tender and reassuring, given that he frequently cups your face in his hands.

Even though this guy evidently struggles to keep his plants alive, he will make every effort to grow a lovely flower as a gift for you.

He attracts kids like a magnet; some of them aspire to be captains like him, and it's the cutest thing ever to see him grow nervous as they shower him with compliments and questions.

Sometimes he'd find you asleep on the couch, and he'd pick you up bridal style and carry you to bed carefully so as not to wake you.

Oftentimes, Gepard's responsibilities prevent him from spending time with you, but he always strives to make up for it.

Used a cheesy pickup line once and never tried it again after feeling the second-hand embarrassment.

He always looks for a way to impress you with his strength.

☆〜JING YUAN〜☆

His duty as General usually keeps him occupied with work stuff, so when you pay him a visit during the day, he'll light up almost instantly and he'll be in a good mood.

You have to constantly kick him (gently or with force depending on how much sleep he has robbed you of) so he can turn to the other side and stop snoring.

When writing about his day in his diary, he always mentions the instances where something reminded him of you. (Spoiler alert: the majority of his day description is him adoring your facial features).

Jing Yuan's kisses are typically quick, although if he's feeling exceptionally touch-deprived, he prefers deeper, longer kisses.

If you decide to move in with him, it will be incredibly domestic; you would prepare each other's favorite drinks and meals just the way you like them without needing to ask, and you will share each other's clothes and accessories on a daily basis.

Routine, even if secure, can be exhausting, and he finds himself trapped in one. Therefore, Jing Yuan appreciates it when you try new things with him and make him feel like he can breathe freely again. Without worrying about any boring responsibilities, just you and him spending time together. Those are his most treasured moments.

He's very protective of you. Secretly that is. It might seem that he's not that bothered by the times you may have spent a while longer on an errand or went exploring, but he's actually worried! Sometimes to the point of sending someone to go look for you, just to be sure you're all safe and sound.

Has asked you to massage his back on multiple ocassions after a particularly tiring day.

Welcome Home; I'm Home

Alhaitham/Reader

Being in a relationship is hard. It requires constant work and sharing vulnerabilities you never thought you'd indulge in. Both parties need to constantly choose one another, despite their flaws. It's a good thing that you choose Alhaitham, even when his blunt nature rears its ugly head.

a/n: have a lil alhaitham hurt/comfort, as a treat :)

wc: 1.4k

The silence that filled your home was deafening. 

Though, you supposed that anything would be quieter compared to the explosive argument that broke out between you and Alhaitham.

It started out as an ordinary conversation. You’d been telling Alhaitham about your plans for your day off; all the while you fluttered around the kitchen, preparing breakfast for the both of you. He hadn’t been contributing much to the conversation, but you didn’t think much of it. You weren’t sure exactly what it was that caused him to snap, but as soon as he’d let out a long sigh, you knew something was wrong.

Pausing your ramblings, you turned away from the coffee you were brewing, tilting your head to the side. “Habibi? Are you okay?”

Soft mutterings were the only thing that you could hear, almost as if his sleep-deprived consciousness were attempting to filter his thoughts even after they left his lips. Frowning, you moved closer, gently brushing the silver bangs away from his face. “What was that?”

“Too loud,” He spoke up, an irritated scowl appearing as he swatted away your hand, “Would it be so terrible to have some peace and quiet for once?”

You blinked, letting your hands fall to your sides as you dealt with the sudden surprise. Leveling an unimpressed look at the man before you, you crossed your arms across your chest. “Don’t take that tone with me, Alhaitham.”

Alhaitham mirrored your attitude, leaning back in his chair, “Don’t treat me like a child. I already have to deal with dozens of people droning on about things I don’t care about at the Akademiya, I don’t need to hear about it in my own home.”

Running your tongue against the front of your teeth in annoyance, you spoke up. “Oh, excuse me. I didn’t know that it was so terrible to want to talk to my lover before they leave for work,”

“Picking a fight first thing in the morning?” He questioned, rolling his eyes as he got up from his spot, “Very mature of you, Habibti.”

“I’m picking a fight?” You exclaimed, feeling your voice grow louder as you followed him into your shared bedroom, “You decided to have an attitude with me this morning and suddenly I’m the one who’s picking a fight? Maybe if you were a ‘mature’ enough adult to just say what your problem is I wouldn’t be bothering you!”

Turning sharply, he pointed a finger at you. “You are the problem. I thought I made it clear that I didn’t want to talk, but you just kept going. Do you think I care about what fruits you’re going to pick up at the market? Or how you’ll organize the library?”

You watched in silence as Alhaitham grabbed a seemingly random book from the pile on his nightstand before heading out of the shared space and to the front door.

“You know what? I hope you have back-to-back meetings and no time to read that stupid book of yours!” You yelled out, only to be met with the harsh sound of the front door slamming.

That was several hours ago.

Deciding that you wouldn’t let Alhaitham’s outburst ruin your day, you continued with the rest of your day. In the time after your fight, you had gone to the bazaar to grab some staples and some fresh cherries that caught your eye, had a wonderful lunch by yourself, and you had managed to clean a bit around the house. Since the menial tasks you’d set out to do didn’t completely calm you down, you’d also started rearranging Alhaitham’s library by color, knowing that he’d have to deal with the inefficient organizational system for the next few weeks before he’d inevitably fix it all himself. 

Once you’d finished your petty act of defiance, you found yourself curled up on one of the loveseats, casually flipping through your light novel as you felt the remnants of your earlier agitation fade. Just as you were turning the page, you heard the lock of the front door turning, the creaking of the door a familiar noise in all of the chaotic silence that surrounded you. 

Though, rather than feeling the rush of warmth and contentment fill your chest, you felt nothing but the bitter silence that continued to linger after your argument.

You refused to look up, opting to continue your reading, even when you heard hesitant footsteps drawing closer. Eventually, you felt the cushions beneath you dip, a warm presence at your side. Long fingers moved in your peripheral, hesitating slightly before settling by your waist, tugging lightly at your shirt. 

A silent question, allowing you the opportunity to pull away if you wanted.

Sighing, you closed your book, setting it down on the table in front of you before looking down at the hand grasping at the hem of your shirt. Slowly, you moved to tug his hand off, intertwining your fingers together. There were many things that you’d wanted to say; part of you, the uglier side, wanted to continue your argument, wanting nothing more than to make him feel as bad as you had earlier. After all, it was unfair of him to take his anger out on you.

However, the better part of you, the one who loved the man beside you dearly despite all his faults, despised the hesitance in Alhaitham’s posture, as if you’d leave for good if he weren’t careful enough. 

You wanted to let him know that though you were still hurt, he didn’t need to be scared. 

“Welcome home,” You said instead, running your thumb across his knuckles.

He stared at you momentarily, studying your expression in silent contemplation. In the end, he simply let out a wisp of a laugh, squeezing your hand. “I’m home.”

A tense silence filled the air, both of you wanting to start the conversation, but neither of you knowing how to. Eventually, you settled on the familiar. “You pissed me off today.”

If Alhaitham was shocked at your candidness, he didn’t show it, instead nodding solemnly as he listened. “I know. I’m sorry,”

“If I was annoying you, you should have just told me,”

“You weren’t annoying me,” When he noticed your furrowed brow, he sighed in annoyance, though you knew it was aimed at himself for not being able to express how he was feeling, “I started feeling overwhelmed. One moment I was waking up, and the next I felt my head pounding and my ears aching.”

Looking smaller than you’d seen him before, he looked away, quietly mumbling, “It was too loud.”

For a short while, it was silent between the two of you. Both of you sat still, with the exception of Alhaitham’s fingers twitching against your hand, a nervous tick you’d learned about during your first year of dating. 

Eventually, you huffed affectionately, moving your unoccupied hand to flick his forehead, instantly rubbing your thumb against the reddening skin to soothe it. “Next time just tell me how you’re feeling instead of acting like I can read your mind,” Squeezing his hand, you narrowed your eyes, “I won’t be as kind if you act like this again.”

He nodded his head again, untwining your hands in favor of leaning forward, letting his head come to rest on your chest. Pressing a gentle kiss to your heart, you felt his arms wrap around your waist. “I will. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to snap.”

You returned his affections, your arms hugging his shoulders, pulling him closer. “I didn’t mean to make you overwhelmed,”

“I know.”

“I got cherries today,” You mumbled in his hair, feeling him hum against your skin in response, “I also rearranged your library by color.”

You felt him laugh, fingers coming to pinch the fat of your hips, “I suppose I deserved that,”

After that, the two of you fell silent, this time merely enjoying each other’s company. You ran your hands along his back soothingly, feeling for the first time today that you could finally breathe in your own home. Your chest felt light, and you could only imagine how the man before you was feeling.

After a short while, Alhaitham propped his head against your chest, peering at you with inquisitive eyes.

“Hm?” You questioned, brushing the bangs away from his face.

A few more seconds went by, the man in front of you deciding on whether or not he should interrupt the peaceful air surrounding the two of you. Eventually, he settled on a question.

“Are we okay?”

You pursed your lips, observing the way Alhaitham’s fingers danced across your back, another nervous tick. Pressing a kiss to his forehead, you smiled.

“We will be,”

i feel like i would have some of the most awful fights with this man, he should be lucky he's pretty and i happen to like pretty things/j

welt except he has a fever and desperately needs sleep

cw: descriptions of illness, high fever, being kinda delirious/out of it, sleep deprivation?, nightmares, headaches, mentions of death

contains spoilers for welt's hi3 lore

also, disclaimer! welt in here is very reluctant to ask for help and feeling bad about it because... well i imagine he'd react like this, BUT! needing help and asking for it is completely normal and valid and okay; please remember that and take care of urself ok!! ily /p

alright, so...

i'm gonna be honest since i found @bugbytez13 's blog welt sickfic ideas don't want to leave my head LMAO except i will write a detailed description of a fic instead of the fic itself. that's it that's the post

tbh this ramble in particular could be made into two separate fanfics (one sickfic and one specifically about the nightmares) but shh

i will forever be self conscious or anxious about things i post that aren't just headcanons or silly little rambles, but also... writing this went surprisingly smoothly so! enjoy the essay or something idk HAHA

======================================

so, about welt...

i just know this man is going to force himself to stay awake. maybe his self-sacrificing issues are less present now, and he doesn't immediately throw himself in danger in every fight ever, but he's still stubborn as hell. so he won't admit something is wrong. he won't admit that maybe getting way too little sleep several days in a row wasn't doing wonders for his immune system and he's now finally feeling the consequences. to be fair, he expected it might end like this, but he didn't want to take breaks - there's still too many things to take care of before they finally head to penacony. and now, he will still insist of taking care of everything, even though his body is basically begging him to go take a nap.

except maybe, he didn't even expect it to get this bad. or thought that he can just power through it. i mean, he's been through much worse, right? this is nothing compared to literally losing his body for some time. but he's sitting in the parlor car, and he's half awake, and unusually cold, and his head is hurting, and keeping up the act is getting harder and harder - but he has to, because the younger members of the crew are here too, even if only march is talking to him.

but they pick up on the fact that something is wrong, of course they do. his eyes are unfocused, he looks like he's about to fall asleep - or pass out - and march had to repeat herself twice for him to even fully process what she was asking him, and so suddenly stelle is next to him, attempting to touch his forehead - and he recoils. "i'm fine," he says, and it's probably a bit too quick and a bit too firm than he'd like it to be, and all of this is stupid, really, because he shouldn't be scared of someone touching him. how hot can it really be anyway if he's feeling so cold, right? but if that wasn't enough dan heng asks an even more dreaded question, "are you sure, mr yang? do you want us to call himeko?" and welt decides it's time to excuse himself, before he makes them even more worried. because even in his present state, he can pick up on the fact they're concerned, but at the same time unsure of what to do, and it makes him feel guilty. of course they're unsure; he's usually their caretaker, and he always knows what to do, and it should never be the other way around. he should've just stayed in his room all day, shouldn't he.

"thank you all for your concern, but i'm alright." he stands up. "now, please excuse me, i still have some work to do." of course that's true, but he's almost certain he won't be able to focus on that- but he just needs an excuse to get out from here and be left alone anyway.

but stelle is right next to him, and looking determined to accompany him to his room, too. "you look like you're about to fall, mr yang," they explain, and he wants to insist that he's okay once again, but realizes he's too tired to do so. it would take him at least a few minutes, and it's a few minutes he doesn't have nearly enough energy for. he just wants to finally lie down. so, he lets stelle essentially escort him into the hallway and to his bedroom, and make sure he doesn't collapse on his way there, and-- it's embarassing, honestly, because it's already so difficult for him to show himeko the slightest hints that something might be wrong, and right now the situation is similar but ten times worse - so it's also ten times harder for him to come to terms with the fact he needs to rely on someone.

"my... apologies for making you all worry," he says quietly when they reach his room, and he's so thankful that he left the lights off, because the parlor car was way too bright, and though the hallway was a bit better, it still wasn't good.

"it's alright," stelle shakes her head, and stands there in the doorway, even as he heads towards his bed and sits down. "i'll ask himeko to check up on you in a bit?" she asks, and he only nods, though he isn't sure if she can actually see it. he doesn't want to talk anymore, he doesn't want to think because even just that seems to make his headache worse, he just wants stelle to leave, he just wants to sleep-- he isn't even sure if he understood her question correctly, but he also doesn't have the energy to care. he falls asleep the moment the door closes behind her, fully clothed and half covered with a thick blanket, but even then he isn't allowed a peaceful rest.

memories from old battles flash before his eyes, silhouettes of enemies he once fought, those against whom he won - but also of those who severly injured or even killed him, and with that come the memories of the pain

and the fear of losing his body again.

when he finally awakens, sweating, shaky for reasons other than his fever, and still feeling pretty awful, it takes him longer than usual to remember where he is. it takes him longer than usual to remember that he's safe.

but now there's medicine and a thermometer on his nightstand, and a note written in himeko's neat handwriting - though he actually spots and reads it some time later - telling him to rest as much as he needs to, because she'll take care of everything; and only after he does read it and feels a sense of relief come over him, he realizes how much the thought of having to leave all the work in order to take a break actually stressed him out. he still feels bad about it, because of course he does, and of course he's going to apologize to everyone later.

but he's also able to sleep more peacefully now.

sleep deprived

pairings: gustavo fring x fem!reader

summary: your boss noticed you’re overworking yourself and decides to do something about it.

a/n: gus got that email rizz

warnings: really messy lol

masterlist

You couldn’t sleep. You couldn’t. Gus had you making ninety pounds worth of meth every week, and due to your partners’ sudden disappearance, you were stuck doing all the work by yourself. You sighed, thinking back to how you got into this position.

You were a just a broke college student, trying to pay off your loans when you you met Jesse. You knew each other back in high school, and now he was your dealer. The two of you became buddies and one day you walked in on him and Walt talking about somebody named Gustavo Fring, the owner of a fast food restaurant with an undercover drug business.

You needed money and you convinced them to let join in. Realizing that the “the more the merrier” shit you had pulled really was just that, shit. After they had taught you the recipe, you ended up doing everything, always.

Gus had put to lines under the deadlines, signifying that if you didn’t get this done in time — there’d be consequences. At the same time you had a lot of due college assignments, and skipping all your lectures. So you practically lived in the lab, sleeping and eating there, until you had no time for either of those things.

You were leaning against the counter with a hand on your jaw, steadying your face. Your eyes shut and light snores coming out of your mouth. As Gus inspected your face, he realized you’d never once look so peaceful as you did in that moment.

“I see you’re getting a lot of work done,” he commented, knowing it’d wake you. Gus needed to talk to you about this. He had cameras everywhere and had been paying very close attention to how much time you’d been spending at the lap. You had your laptop and school books there, a few snacks and amount less cups of coffee.

The sudden sound of his voice startled you as you woke up with a final snore. “Shit– I’m so sorry! I-I didn’t even notice I was, uh’falling asleep” your slurred, your words blurring together due to your grogginess. You looked up at him with lazy eyes.

Gus looked at you through his glasses, his expression as emotionless as usual. You thought you saw a glimpse of emotion in his eyes, though it was probably just your sleep deprivation making you see things. Gustavo Fring doesn’t care for anyone. Especially not some random meth cook who can’t even do her job right… right?

“You should get home and get some rest, ___. Your drowsiness is affecting your work performance.” Stated as a fact, though functioning more as an excuse.

“I can’t, sir! I’ve only made like, half of the meth I was supposed to and–“ you rambled on, but he interrupted you almost instantly. “Stop it, ___! You have done your part. Your partners’s neglect of their responsibilities is not your problem,” as he shushed you, his expression remained the same though his voice got notably more aggressive. “I’ll consider getting you new partners, you’ve mastered the arts of cooking now.” In that moment, you couldn’t be bothered by his comment on your friends; all you wanted to do was go back to sleep.

“Are you absolutely sure? I’ll get back to work as soon as I wake up, I promise!” You insisted, and he shook his head. “No, you’ll have the rest of the week off,” he said. “I value your effort but I cannot have your drowsiness affect my product.” Gus explained while putting a gentle yet firm hand on your shoulder. You eyed the hand and as did he, though he didn’t let go before he you reluctantly agreed.

“Alright, I guess,” you sighed. He smiled professionally as he took out his notebook, scribbling something something. “Fantastic! Write down your email and we can discuss your work ethic further.” He demanded suggested, handing you a note and a pen. You smiled as you messily wrote down your email address and gave it back to him.

When you went to sleep that night all you could think about was your interaction earlier, and how this might’ve been his stiff attempt at flirting with you. Although you figured this could’ve easily been your head playing tricks on you agin.

When you woke up the next morning you noticed a gmail notification. Written bellow a [email protected] it read:

Hello, I hope you slept a worthwhile and woke up energetic and better. I suggest we meet up at my restaurant to further discuss our game plan.

Sincerely, Gustavo Fring.

Did Gustavo Fring just ask out out on a date?

Some human skin and bone

The yassification button glitched, so sorry for your loss.

Did this take years of my life? Yes.

Did it take making at less three before realising I used their identifying colours to render them? Also yes.

Drawings without the dramatic light under the cut with some very long ramblings.

(I'm pretty sleep-deprived right now, excuse my weird grammar and ramblings.)

They are in order of making.

HOOTSIE

-She was the first I drew of the bunch, and I based her mostly on a baby I saw in a hair salon. She had these big un-blink-able eyes and these adorable chubby cheeks that just made sense that Hootsie had.

-To try to union the owl and bear parts of an owlbear, I gave her this very puffy ENORMOUS fur coat with a feather jacket under it. To define where in her original design the fur and feather separate.

-Also the claws, since Hootsie has claws, it's your decision to decide if they are REAL or if Gricko made them for her in wood.

-Her makeup it's designed to scream "OWL" and her original markings, from the big eyes, and eyebrows as owls horns, to the line to symbolise her beak.

She was very fun to draw, brain empty, just owlbear.

GIDEON

-You know the whole "re-inventing the wheel"? Well, this was a "drawing Mace by accident over and over again"

-Credits to Beth Mello for inspiration for the splash blood makeup, which it's just so pretty

-I don't know where the metallic horns came from, I know it's inspired by something but it is so locked in my mind and I can't pull the strings to know where it comes from.

I showed this one to one of my old art teachers and he said "It looks like me when I was younger" and now I can't unsee it.

Your genishi is my retired art teacher now, so sorry for your loss.

GRICKO

-Did I ask my father to pose to draw his old hands? Yes. Yes, I did. And I had to make them more rough and hairy because he has "selling wristwatches on tv" hands? Absolutely.

-I based his hair on a member of Metalica, Kirk Hammett. Now that he's older, he has this very pretty long curly greyish hair that just felt very Gricko.

-I cut his fingers. Well, only the right hand, he has the other one but it didn't grow correctly so it's more like little little finger without nail. So he has four fingers, in his original goblin design he has four fingers and so does the human version now, we don't know what happened, Gricko probably doesn't know either.

-The makeup had to have the most eccentric in-your-face eyeliner ever. With some green highlighter to remain of goblin skin, blue and white dots for his magic and to link him with Hootsie's little blue gems, and body paint inspired by Britons war paint. (Which are drawn after two of his totems.)

Lighting for this one was weirdly easy... The ocarina wasn't.

FROST

-As someone who is pretty young and it's starting to grow white hair already, I can say, that whatever it's happening to him it's more from stress than genes. What ghost scared you, sir?

-I fought with his face so much, I had his body ready for days but not the face. I wanted to keep the expression that Frost has in the original, mostly the smug smile he has.

-Credits to Freja Bermann for inspiration for his makeup which it's inspired by multiple of her looks inspired by the solar system.

-I just realised that by giving him "horns" and two dots to symbolize his tiger ears it looks like the froggy chair of Animal Crossing.

I'm not changing it. This is our little secret.

KREMY

-How do you draw an alligator as a human? How??? DRAW??

-You know what, drawing hands it's only fun if it's old people's hands. They have more texture and can be a bit rougher. They can define a character's life so well... For example, here Kremy has four fingers, you can decide if he got it cut off by fucking around, bitten off, or if he gifted it as a sign of faith to his patron, you decide.

-You hear about "Give Gideon a cowboy hat" get ready for "Give Kremy opera binoculars"

-His makeup was inspired by cabaret, just dramatic eyeshadow and eyeliner. There are markings as gator skin around his eyes and nose. And a fake beauty mark because why not?

Drawing Kremy it's always fun, even if I get tortured first by trying to structure his face.

I can't bring myself to do Torbek, Twig and Petunia, sorry, I'm very tired.

AHHHHHHHHHH.... Have a cupcake 🧁.

𝟎𝟎𝟐-𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐬 | 𝕙𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕪𝕡𝕚𝕖 | 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫

"Y/N, There you are." the sleep-deprived girl turns in the direction of the voice, and behind her is the goddess Kiyoko. Her shoulder-length black hair is tucked behind her left ear, while the rest hangs on the right side with short hair locks hanging in the middle. Kiyoko's alluring grey eyes meet with Y/N's as Kiyoko rambles on about how she couldn't find her best friend. Y/N watches as Kiyoko's long eyelashes travel down along with her eyelids. A closed-eye smile. The beauty of Shimizu's smile is enhanced by the distinct mole on the lower left side of her chin.

Overall, anyone would be in a trance by how breathtaking the girl is, and Y/N is lucky enough to be her best friend.

"You seem tired. " Kiyoko mentions, taking note of how dead Y/N looks. Yawning, Y/N nods before stuffing one whole onigiri in her mouth at once. Unsatisfied, the girl fishes out a Pocky box from her bag, munching on it instead.

"Did you even eat breakfast Y/N? " Kiyoko asks, scrunching up her nose in slight disgust at her friend's eating habit. Kiyoko had found that she was more expressive around her best friend. It must be because they have been friends since middle school; therefore, the beautiful girl was more comfortable around Y/N.

The two walk in silence to their next class; Y/N mentally admits that she doesn't want to talk to Kiyoko, most likely because she would bring up-.

"You gotta stop being so attached to a silly argument. You know he didn't mean it."

Y/N knows deep down that her boyfriend didn't mean the things he said about her. She's just been finding an excuse to make it seem that he did. She huffs in annoyance as Kiyoko manages to prove Y/N wrong.

"Whatever."

And the two girls yet again meet another period of silence. Attempting to dispose of the negative energy, (Y/N) opens her mouth to raise a suggestion but before a syllable can leave her mouth, a large number of students surround the two girls.

These damn first years. The (h/l) haired girl rolls her eyes and her sleeves.

" Shimizu-senpai, would you like to go on a date."

"You're so beautiful, Kiyoko. Please be my girlfriend."

And more comments like that, are being thrown at the poor girl.

"SHUT UP!"

The chaos comes to an immediate halt, and all their eyes travel to look at Y/N and her annoyed expression.

"Haven't you heard of personal space? Leave her alone and scram or else." The first-year students shrink at the girl's loud voice and her glare.

The school bell rings, and students begin to disperse. The once irritated girl returns to her slouchy, dead form from earlier. Shimizu blinks in surprise, though yet again, she knows Y/N hates kids harassing her friend.

" Y/N, you really didn't have to. I would have been fine-"

"Yes, I did. I really had to do that. You're my best friend; I can't let some annoying ass 9-year-olds be weird like that."

Even though she prefers Y/N to be less violent, she has to say; that this would be one of the times she was grateful for the first years. Shouting at them must have finally woken Y/N up.

By the end of the day, Y/N overall feels genuinely exhausted. The fact that she would have to walk in the cold all by herself worsens her mood instantly. Though she was wearing a scarf and coat, the harsh bite of the chilling wind rushes past her legs, making her dread going home even more. However, before the girl could sigh, a voice calls out her name. The voice of someone she would rather not want to see.

Y/N turns around and notices her boyfriend and his friend Sugawara walking up to her. The moment their eyes met, Y/N frowned and looked in the opposite direction from the two.

She stays silent, and the two boys follow suit, the silence becomes heavy, and it's so quiet it's way too loud. Y/N pretends to not notice by scrolling through social media mindlessly, and soon enough, she reaches the junction where the boys and her split. Without uttering a goodbye, Y/N starts to walk off, completely ignoring their presence.

But then a hand. A strong, large familiar hand with a firm grip on the girl's wrist prevents her from walking another step. She turns to face the dark-haired male and looks into his regretful dark brown eyes. " Y/N I-"

" I know." she interrupts as his grip on her wrist loosens. Her smiles turn into giggles as the boy looks down at the floor in shame.

"No, Y/N, you deserve a proper apology. I'm sorry, I was angry and stressed, and I should have never said any of that to you. You are not unreasonable or clueless. You're observant and use that to help everyone. You put everyone first and don't care for yourself,"

His face contorts into one with one of seriousness. " I care about you, Y/N. I care about your happiness and well-being too. Please forgive me so then I can make it up to you,-" however, before the boy who was bowing could continue, her hand lightly punches his shoulder. Daichi Sawamura looks up at the smiling girl, who then proceeds to hug her forcefully, resting her head on his broad chest and wrapping her arms around him tighter.

Y/N pulls away and quickly hits him on the head. " Idiot." The boy chuckles as his girlfriend continues to rant about how silly he is. A laugh escapes Sugawara's lips at how cheesy that apology was and how sappy they were being.

And so the trio eventually decides to accompany the girl home, Daichi staying close to her. The couple had never actually done any physical actions to show they were in a relationship. The most they had done was hugging, yet that was rare in public, and besides, a hug doesn't mean you are automatically dating someone. Daichi's mind had never really crossed that path, but that topic was always in her mind, yet she shrugged it off.

Y/N, Sugawara and Daichi reach her home and bid their goodbyes.

Hi! I've been reading your ace attorney fics for a few years now and I just wanted to say that they're incredibly written and I just really wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work and skill. I was in highschool when I first started reading your fics and I fell in love with strange days and It singlehandly rekindled my love of AA because it had been sometime since I had played any of them and I had absolutely no idea who apollo or klavier was at the time but you made them so interesting and engaging that I had to play the source material. But I was so enraptured with the story and with your construction of Klavier's character; specifically the way you wrote the way he spoke and carried himself with such an easy seduction that I became briefly convinced that there was no sexier or cooler language than German and as a result I am pretty much fluent in the language today. I'm not online much and I've never even sent anyone an ask before, but I was reminded of it this evening and this is just a slightly embarrassing gushy spur of the moment decision thing concicted from a very sleep deprived brain but I'd just like to tell you an amusing little tidbit- because knowing german won me a decent bit of clout with a very impressive scientist at my internship and I just wanted to thank you for starting that strange domino effect that has made a not insignificant impact on my life. (So sorry that this is dreadfully rambling but it's very late at the hour I'm writing this and I'm not sure I'd have the guts to send it proofread in the morning) but I just wanted to thank you.

Yours,

A very sleep-deprived engineering student

Anon,

I have been at a loss for words since receiving this kind note. Please excuse the late response, November and December weren’t good months for me health-wise and I wasn’t online much. But also, I have been stunned to write a response that is worthy of this note.

Anon, I wanted to say that upon reading this note, I cried. I never thought any of my works would have such an impact beyond feeding the klapollo ship tag on AO3.

And to hear that my story had such an impact upon your life just left me in awe of how we as people are connected through art/music/writing/fandom and we impact each other without ever really knowing whose hearts we touch and how. So to hear from someone and how a work impacted them for the positive, it’s too amazing to fathom.

I literally sat at my desk at work and cried- you reached me on a day where I was really going through it, and it honestly filled me with strength to keep going. I read this note several times over the days whenever I felt stuck and your words instantly cheered me.

This note has been the kindest and highest compliment I’ve ever received in the many years I’ve been writing fanfic. And from the bottom of my heart I thank you for taking the time and your candor in reaching out.

I wish you well in your studies, and good health and luck in 2024. Thank you for your support all of these years. I am truly grateful beyond words.

All the best and all my gratitude,

Saevam

hi! excuse me if this sounds a little like i’m rambling, im currently sleep deprived and i haven’t fully woken up yet lol.

just wanted to say that i literally love and adore you and your account. you’re just so talented, and your work is really special. i’ve read a lot of good fics on here, but your work is by far my favorite and i cannot recommend it enough. i know how hard you must work putting out content, and i hope you know how appreciated you are. you’re such a raw and rare talent, and i very much get a little serotonin boost every time you post new work, or if i’m having a shitty day and i go and reread some of your past work. you understand and truly do write some characters better than half the original work they come from. i literally can’t gush enough over how talented you are.

anyways, i hope you know how appreciated you are. thank you so much for sharing your work, i absolutely adore it. happy holidays! i hope you have a good day :)

Aw thank you 😭 I'm honoured to have written anything that could be your favourite, and that you think so much of me. I know it sounds silly sometimes but I really love writing more than anything and it's allowed me to express myself and have so much fun with all these characters and given me a little more confidence too and I wouldn't have that without you and others like you taking the time to say something so kind. It means more than you know honey, thank you so much! I feel more appreciated than I could ever deserve!! I hope you have a great day and a happy holidays!!

Random 10:17 am SDR2 scenarios

part two of this post

Note: I fucking hate Hiyoko but it felt wrong leaving her out because because I’m a completist. Also the format is different bc im writing on a REALLY bad mobile phone.

Warnings: Mentions of a sword in Pekos part (the first one) Mikan being Mikan, Hiyoko being Hiyoko, Talk of dead bodies in Sonia's part.

Can be read as Non-despair in some parts, reference to despair canon in Mahirus part

rest under the cut

Peko Pekoyama: she teaches you sword fighting techniques so you can better defend yourself. In reality, she just wants to be able to spend more time with you, so she reaches for an excuse. It helps that she has to touch you to correct your stance. 

‘’Widen your stance, lower your body a bit more… yes, that’s perfect, Bun. You’re doing well.”

Akane Owari: on occasion she has been known to share her food with you, shocking I know, but if she knows you like what she’s eating she’ll offer you a little bit of it. (Emphasis on little but it’s the thought thatcounts.

‘’ Sup, babes I have some f/f! Want a crumb? Yes of course im willing to share?!?’’

Hiyoko Saionji (😒): Gives you some gummies and doesn’t insult you as often as she does the others. Admittedly she only gives you the lemon flavored ones because she hates them but she usually throws them out so be grateful

’S/o!! You big dummy, you’re late!! A-anyways… here’s some candy…’

Sonia Nevermind: lets her hair down (metaphorically) around you, knowing you wont judge her for her interests in serial killers, in return she’ll listen to you rant about your interests all day.

 ‘’…and that’s apparently how they dealt with the bodies, enough from me, how have things been with you, recently my love?’’

Mahiru Koizumi: constantly dotes on you, whether it be wiping your face after eating or holding your hand and pressing soft kisses onto them.

‘’S/o!! Theres no need to be scared, cmon let’s go and cuddle, okay? Will that make you  feel better?’’

Ibuki Mioda: dedicates songs and albums to you, all the song titles compliment you somehow and the album probably has an equally as flattering name.

“This goes out to Ibuki’s soulmate! Its called, Flaming Hot Cheeto’s arent as hot as my lover!”

Mikan Tsumiki: she feels so safe in your presence, so much so she lets you braid/style/play with her hair. Due to bad experiences with people in general its heartwarming to hear her ramble about things while you play with her hair.

“A-and after t-that I decided to u-use the n-non-stick bandages! AH!! Im rambling again im so- huh? I dont need to be sorry? Huuuue…”

Chiaki Nanami: Genuinely tries to stay awake during long conversations with you. Poor baby is just so sleep deprived, but you can see shes making an effort to listen to you while you talk about your Ultimate. Its only fair after all

“Hmmm. Im sleepy… but dont worry, you can… finish the story *yawns*”

New Dream - Fanart (repost)

Reposting cause I made a mistake with Eugene's hair, and it was annoying me, so I went into fix it and then kinda got carried away adding in a border and some texture.

But I think it looks a little bit better now!

Not that I should need an excuse to repost art,in fact, I should PROBABLY repost a few of the animations seeing as they took like eight hours each and got eight likes, but I dunno.

I think I said the other day to a friend: I make art for me; I post for the engagement, but honestly, sometimes Tumblr is soooo low engagement on art, even the effort of uploading the image (which takes like two minutes) isn't worth the time.

But then I'm scared my ipad will blow up and I'll lose all my art despite it all being backed up a million times, so maybe I upload for the one more backup?

That was a ramble and a half.

I apologize. I didn't sleep much last night and I think that may be showing.

I ramble on a good day, on a sleep deprived day. My words just wander off without me.

Chapter 2 Theories!! SPOILERS!!

Okay so,,, hello drdt tumblr! I have no idea how to use this site well lmao,,, i couldn't sleep so random Chapt 2 secret n' culprit theories :D!!

Some make more sense than others! Also i'm writing this at like 2am lol

TW: Vague mentions of S3lf H4rm, Sewerslide, Murder ig??, Rlly bad sleep deprived rambles-

Okay so first i want to talk about the secrets!!

"You only took on your talent to stop your need to harm yourself for fun" (not exact wording!) - Most people think this is Veronika's. For good reason, her boredom and desire to be entertained have been super emphasised this chapter. It's almost too obvious. Sometimes the obvious answer is the correct one. However, i believe this secret to be Levi's! For starters, i believe he mentions in the prologue /chapt 1 that his talent is new to him? Plus, i'm pretty sure he's more concerned with trying to protect the group rather than the fact he was injured in the prologue. Now, the main reasons people believe the murder secret to be his are his lack or grief and his secret quote. However, i believe both can also indicate the s/h secret as his! First, his lack of grief. Levi has shown to being very unaffected by people's death and admits to not knowing how to grieve. But why would his apathy stop at other people? I believe he feels apathetic towards his own life too, but since he's determined to protect the group i doubt he'd want anyone to pity him. (i feel like this was worded better in my mind-) Okay, now his secret quote "i always believed a person is defined by their actions, maybe that's just a poor excuse for my heartlessness" (again not exact words). It's easy to assume heartlessness --> no remorse. But i read it more as "as long as i can protect and help everyone, it will make up for my inability to feel" or something along those lines. I would love to hear others interpretations too though :D

2. Levi's is the only one i feel super strongly about, i think the Min and Xander recieving each others secrets makes complete sense and it seems obvious that David has Teruko's.

3. That leaves Veronika and Hu with the "Hopeless Child" and "Murderer without remorse" secrets. I think they can be interchangable but based on what we know i do believe Hu is the "Hopeless Child" secret and Veronika the "Murderer" secret.

4. Alternatively it's possible Veronika is the "Hopeless Child" based on a few things she's said. (" i used to be quite the outdoorsey person" (not word for word). Plus her keeping it secret for fun seems contradictory since so far revealing the secrets has caused more chaos than keeping them hidden. Unless she got her own (i believe she got the "hopeless child" secret right?) in which case her hiding that does make it harder to assign secrets. Plus her hidden quote is something to do with "once somethings broken it's impossible to piece back together, especially people" (or something along those lines). That does indicate some sort of harmful mindset... Or maybe she just killed someone for shits and giggles or something lol

5. Hu does seem to be more likely to be the "hopeless child" based on what she's said during the trial. However, during chapt 1 she scolded Arei by pinching her ear and in chapt 2 she slaps Ace. She doesn't seem to regret doing it as she deemed them to be in the wrong. It's possible she could of killed someone she deemed an irredeemable bully. It could also explain why she defended Nico despite 3 of the more unbiased individuals claiming that Nico did try and kill Ace. Plus, her hidden quote "i want to pay for what i've done but i still want to live" (not word for word) may refer to something that happens in the killing game rather than being related to the secret motive.

6. Another funny idea is the murderer secret is blown out of proportion. Like what if they spent the whole trial like "omg someone here is a murderer?? Wtf??" Only for MonoTV to be like "yeah actually Min stepped on a spider once and didn't even apologise! Can you believe it?!"

Now! Who i think the culprit could be? Tbh honeset everyone and their mother is super suspicious, like if you told me everyone other than Teruko was in on it i'd be like "yeah, seems legit-"

Anyways, my top 3 suspects are 1) Ace (unfortunately,, i love him -), 2) Eden (Eden Culprit Essays made me believe-), 3) Hu (a classic-)

3. Starting off with the classic answer of Hu. I'm not going into it because other people have said it better. However, i feel like she still needs to go through her character arc y'know?? I guess if she had the murderer secret maybe it could prove Teruko's mindset without getting rid of Eden?? I do feel like Teruko will be proven that she can't trust yet again this chapter. Then in future chapters when people like Eden and Charles stick around without hurting or betraying her she'll eventually open back up. It could also be interesting to see how characters like Eden, Nico, Ace, Etc. React to Hu in the after trial if this is the case.

2. I don't want Eden to be the culprit. But if she is i don't think it would be out of malice. I believe that she wanted to stop the motive but now that secrets were revealed anyways she probably feels horrible or ashamed. I think the way this would go is when she's finally accused she wouldn't fight it, she'd break down and admit she felt horrible about it (possibly Hu or Levi would refuse to accept that someone like Eden would kill). Since the victim's Arei i assume either Eden didn't take what she said at face value. OR they worked together and tossed a coin on who'd be the victim. It's pretty obvious someone (or some people--) saw the body and edited the scene for various reasons (Ace or David probably-). That's all on that.

Finally, my number 1 suspect is unfortunately my favourite character: Ace. As much as i don't want him to die he's extremely suspicious and i feel it would make narrative sense?? (i'm not a writter lol-). First, there's his behaviour during the trial: hiding evidence until it's convenient for him, ,, actually idk what else exactly other than David wanting to call him a liar?? Anyway he's giving suspicious vibes. Alright, so, let's talk about Nico's murder attempt! They admitted to trying to kill him after he pushed them past their limits. He did the same to Levi in the first trial. Other than that we know almost nothing about it. Nico keeping quiet makes sense, they tried to kill someone and now people are questioning them. They are clearly someone who doesn't like confrontation, obviously they're going to just be quiet. But why is Ace refusing to talk? It could be multiple reasons: He doesn't want to admit Nico was able to overpower him, He doesn't want people to know he goes to the gym at night in case it happens again or maybe even he's too pissed off at Nico to calmly explain anything. These all seem valid options. But what if he's not talking because Nico walked in on him setting up a murder and in a spur or fear/panic (not anger) they lashed out. That would explain the seemingly complex murder method but Nico "not thinking". It could also explain why Hu's defending them. If they confided in her about this it makes sense why she'd defend them. Also, the fact that the murder methods seem similar and no one talking about the attempt in detail imply it's probably important. (it could also mean Nico's the culprit and Ace get's to go on a 'I told you! I was right! Who's dumb now assholes?!' Hype train next chapter lol, would be interesting to see how Hu reacts to that situation too. Like someone she tried to protect went off the deep end and killed and her close friend is going through his Ace kinnie arc- imagine that-)

Anyways- there's the parallels to the canon games too. In chapt 1 of THH, Sayaka tries to kill Leon and Frame Makoto but she ends up dead. In DRDT Xander tries to kill Teruko and Frame Charles but he ends up dead. How does this relate to chapt 2? In THH there is a secrets motive. Chihiro and Mondo both want to change/become stronger. Chihiro tries to become stronger so he can be the person he wants to be. Mondo can't handle change and kills in rage/jealousy. What about DRDT? Well first there's the secrets motive. Then Arei and Ace are both bully characters. However, whether it's a result of the secrets or other influences they go in opposite directions as characters. Arei opens up and confides in David and the later Eden who both show support about her want to be a 'good person'. Arei wants to change and become better. Ace on the other hand breaks down and lashes out due to constant paranoia. After the trial where Levi threatened him and then later when Teruko said Levi should give up and abandon him, he lashes out and decides to 'only look out for himself'. If Ace were the killer it would parrallel THH in that Arei (someone who wanted to change) was killed by Ace (someone who refused to change and actively got worse). Plus, if Arei was lured by the note it could demonstrate that trusting too much (Arei) and trusting too little (Ace) both have negative consequences and it's better to have a balance.

Anyways those are my thoughts, i'm clinging to my 'Ace is somehow a traitor even though there's been no mentions of traitors' theory in the hopes he's too plot relevant to die (unlikely).
