sorry for making your inbox my little dumping ground for random thots I have about fictional men but consider the following:
serial killer!141 and reader who has a true crime podcast with a teeny tiny following, except they're the only ones who get the information right and the boys are now obsessed with them.
Reader: I mean it doesn't make sense for these muders to have been done by one person right?? the evidence even suggests a group, likely very closely bonded and crafty
Soap, still having his airpods in: THEY'VE GONE AND DONE IT AGAIN LT!!!
-🍎
APPLE KEEP DOING IT!
I love this idea. The boys being like 4 out of 12 listeners and they’re always leaving comments to get a mention on the podcast, like:
Phantom1: They could be a family if you think about it.
CapMoney: Do you have any theories on why they’re targeting their victims? The police still think it’s random.
CleanBhoy: I love listening to you while I work. Your voice is so relaxing.
GazCap: Please be careful, I would hate for this to draw attention to you x
Like they’d listen to you talk about all the police info and use it to keep themselves clean. When your information starts to dry up the leave clues at the crime scenes pointing the police to you as a potential victim. But the police see you as a suspect and Soap is distraught.
They go on a rampage when you’re in custody and the police have no choice but to let you go. And then the boys find out they didn’t give you protection and so they do the only thing they can think of and kidnap you.
You’ve got a plush room in the attic and in the basement Price and Gaz have built you a little podcast studio with all the best equipment and they give you inside details about the crimes.
Oooh there’s so much you could do with this!

Various Yugi, Yami, and puzzleship headcanons because one I'm too busy to draw much, and two I wanted to write a little something for myself, just for fun. And you get to see them too (• 3 •) :
Yami’s transition from vengeful vigilante to kind-hearted yet prideful pharaoh was rocky to say the least. Not understanding and not quite willing to accept Yuugi’s kindness, most of his attempts to understand his newfound life was filled with stone-cold faces, confused stares, and offended petulance. But Yuugi is equally stubborn in helping his new friend acclimatize to being human again, so he does his best to teach him, even if not everything he does is successful.
Yami, despite loving Yuugi, doesn’t worship the ground his partner walks on. Instead he sees a person who’s gone through hardship, being lonely and bullied, and still somehow smiling at the end of it, and it amazes him as much as it confuses him. He’s unsure how to proceed with a person who seems so contradictory. Though with time, he recognizes Yuugi's inner strength and resolves to help Yuugi see what he himself saw in his partner.
Yuugi will never admit it, but whenever he gets the chance to become “the strong one” and help Yami out for a change, it gives him a heady feeling that rivals anything he’s felt before. For once, he gets to protect others, something he never gets to do, and plus, he’s protecting the one person who protects everyone else. He, the tiny and small Yuugi Mutou, protecting Yami no Yuugi, the hero! He finally gets the chance to be “the lead” almost, and it brings him greater joy than any other. Ofc he doesn't flaunt it, but it's definitely something he feels and to a degree feels ashamed about. Though he lets himself be arrogant, just a teeny tiny bit.
To Yami though, Yuugi becomes very vigilant and constant in looking out for him, something he does appreciate exclusively from Yuugi when he can no longer stand on his own. 
In terms of love, the spirit only knows it in theory. He loves his partner, he cares for his friends, he loves his home of Egypt, and he loves his priests and his people. But the kind of love where two people love each other, is less foreign and more of unsure territory for him. He recognizes it’s a love that goes beyond what he’s felt for anyone else, but doesn’t know how to approach it. Much less appreciate it. 
Yuugi meanwhile, understands love very well. He’s yearned for it for years, and finally feels it for Yami, his partner and dear spirit. He hides it of course, the world is more important than his feelings, but when it’s all over and he gets the chance to act on them, his desperate heart won’t let him be so selfless. He enjoys and revels in teaching Yami the many ways one could love, as to him, it shows just how much he loves Yami in turn. But he’s equally patient about it, taking it step by step. Sometimes, he’s so gentle that Yami gets impatient, but Yami’s equally weak to his partner’s tenderness, especially when it’s geared towards him. 
Their relationship isn’t fueled by something as small as one’s appearance, nor did it ever start from it. But when those moments come, Yuugi can feel his breath be stolen by Yami’s visage, or Yami blinking when he sees how the light refracts in Yuugi’s eyes. Still, they appreciate each other’s appearance and take full advantage to do so, especially when having separate bodies. They appreciate them as they entirely are, and not for singular details. 
Yuugi likes squeezing Yami’s butt. There isn’t much there, but whatever he gets, he gropes. Yami’s since then no longer bothered to scold him, only giving him a mild glare and blush whenever he does it. Though he always somehow knows when to smack Yuugi’s hand away when they’re out in public events. 
Neither are comfortable to sleep on because they’re quite lanky, even if Yami came back in Atem’s body (trust me, if he really is all muscle then those are rocks dude, not pillows) So instead Yugi and Yami both like taking a pillow and just putting it on themselves so the other can sleep on them. 
Atem, when alive, was a well-meaning king. A little spoiled, since he was such a golden boy, but overall, a good-natured king. He often listens out to his people, gets into quarrels with Seth because of his seemingly soft nature, and tries to be equal in his sense of judgement. But it never changes the fact that he was a young king, and there was much he had left to learn by the time Kul Elna’s history was revealed. These lessons unfortunately, he would never know, not until 3000 years later. 
When Yami/Atem comes back, he doesn’t come back fully human. Being locked in an ancient artifact with the remnants of darkness incarnate changes you. So while he looks human, he still holds control over the shadows and is as much of their slave as he was their master. The only difference is that the shadows don’t scream anymore, and are more or less docile unless Yami riles them up. And they don’t hurt him anymore, so that’s pretty good too.

can you show off your K collection?
The whole collection, you say :D I have a lot, so under the cut so as not to clutter up everyone’s dash.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
First: figures. The large military figures are from Alter and the slightly smaller Fushimi one is from Union Creative. The Alter ones are better quality but honestly I like the more dynamic pose of the UC figure better, there’s a matching Yata that I don’t own largely due to lack of space that’s very cool (however the UC Fushimi also has a truly terrifying alternate face…). The larger chibi figures are lottery prizes, I bought them separately in order to be sure I got what I wanted. I like the winter ones best, someday I need to get the Munakata from that set. The smaller figures are a Niitengo Deluxe set, I actually have a couple duplicates from this because I bought two sets. The ‘regular’ set had Mikoto and then there was a special set — I think it was an Animate exclusive? — that had Munakata along with alternate Fushimi and Yata figures. Then I have the teeny Shiro, Fushimi and Hisui which are keychains, I picked those up at a con (they didn’t have Yata which is why I ended up with Shiro and Hisui in there). 
Tumblr media
Also on the figure end I have these little guys: K nendoroids! Wait, you may be wondering, I don’t remember any K nendoroids. That’s because we have no official ones (still mad about that!) so I had no choice but to make my own by modifying parts of existing nendoroids. The clothes were purchased from various places online.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next is my full set of K nuis. It took a while to get all these, because when they released the ‘clansmen’ sets I only bought the Blue clan and then regretted it. And no, they didn’t make an official Niki nui, since I had extras I modified them. Hidaka, Benzai, Niki and Douhan are my own customs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
More plushies. I believe the larger ones were Sega prizes? I found Munakata and Fushimi being sold as a set online and then hunted down Yata later. The chubby birds are from the Chun Colle line, and of course I had to buy them their own (love) nest. The Saru cat had the clothes sold separately, I think the original listing showed them with a white cat but the black was all AmiAmi had at the time so I have black cat Saru. The Sarumi nuis are from the second release around ROK airing, they’re a bit different than the first release — a little less chubby with more scruffy hair. I have Munakata too, as you can see he’s…busy on top of my desk. 
Tumblr media
Standees, because everyone needs a little anime boy on their desk. As you may notice, one of these things is not like the other. That’s right: Yata’s wearing bunny ears! Also Kuroh is there. At the time I bought the little Fushimi with the drink the cheapest one on sale had both Fushimi and Kuroh being sold as a set, so he’s here too. 
Tumblr media
Speaking of standees, here’s a few more along with other lotto prizes. These were all from the specific Fan Clan lotteries, you had to be a member to draw. The big Fushimi picture and the water bottle were both grand prizes that I managed to win, so I got to choose my character for those (…don’t  ask how much I spent….). The Fushimi picture has hardware in the back that you can use to stand it up but it’s mostly hanging out hidden by my drawers because I don’t have space to display it right now. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A few miscellaneous things. The Sarumi plate is official goods, the Akiben cup is a fan made product. The glass has Fushimi on one side and Munakata on the other though it’s hard to see, this was I believe also a lotto prize but I got it as a free gift from a shopping service. The pillows are also both official, the one on the left is the Kotobukiya dream cushion and yes I did buy the whole pillow just to use the Fushimi cover. The incredibly gay pillow featuring Fushimi touching himself while looking at a photo of Yata he’s pinned to his pillow is also, amazingly, 100% official merchandise.
Tumblr media
Jumping around to some more official stuff, these are all my physical media. Missing Kings is actually the Japanese release, which has subtitles but no dub. It released before the US version even had a release date on the books so I bought the Japanese version instead (I don’t dislike the dub but dubs are also not something that’s a dealbreaker for me). I also have three stage plays — fun fact, the US and Japan are in the same region for blu ray — these are not subtitled. 
Tumblr media
Novels (and a couple CDs). From the top left, we have the All Memories book, Case Files vol 2, Lost Small World, Idol K, the little short story booklet that came with the pre-MK S4 drama CD (with the glasses drama on it), the three anime adaptation books, the aforementioned drama CD and the Idol K CD. 
Tumblr media
Next, manga. The top left corner is the K Poe Backs book, which has a bunch of mini first person comics of the cast seducing ‘you’ the reader. The top right is the K Maniacs book which is an official doujinshi book, it has no pairings but a lot of older Sarumi doujinshi artists are involved and Fushimi and Yata definitely dominate the book. I have the special Animate of editions of Gakuen K volume 3 and Missing Kings, because I liked the covers. The LSW books are all the special editions as well, the little booklet on the bottom right came with the final volume. The booklet between the two volumes of Days of Blue also came with that second volume and has the special Cherry Blossom Viewing chapter. (Meanwhile I just realized I don’t have Return of Kings….I need to buy that, I like the art.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some more random goods. The purse, hat and watch are all from Super Groupies collabs. I have the Super Groupies S4 wallet as well but it felt weird to take a picture of my own wallet (incidentally, if anyone sees the Super Groupies S4 earrings let me know, I didn’t have my ears pierced when they came out so I didn’t buy them and I want them now). The necklace was for Fushimi’s birthday, there’s a couple Yata ones that were made as well and another Fushimi one that’s blue but this is the only one I bought, it has a tiny S4 logo. The two tins are official teas that were made, the Homra one is my favorite of the two and is a pretty red. 
Tumblr media
Some more clothes. I skipped most of the Super Groupies collab clothes for sizing reasons but these all fit and again, all are official. The shirts are from a collab with the brand Avail, they did shirts based off Shiro, Kuroh, Mikoto, Yata, Munakata and Fushimi. I have the Yata, Munakata and Fushimi ones, the puzzle piece S4 logo that’s Munakata’s is my favorite.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My wall o’ keychains. I actually have a lot of keychains on various purses so this is not all of them (I may have mentioned before that I’m also into lolita fashion so I have lots of purses, forgive me for not digging up all of them for keychain pics). The wall is missing a lot of Fushimi keychains though because they’re on my Fushimi ita bag. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ll probably redo this at some point (I don’t really like backpacks so this doesn’t get worn much) but here’s a lot of my Fushimis that aren’t on other purses. I also have some new Sarumi ones I just bought, these are for the Sarumi ita bag I have in progress. This covers most of my collection, I also have a lot of posters and some magazines that aren’t convenient to get pictures of. This doesn’t count my, uh, extensive doujinshi collection either, just know that the bottom shelf and a half of my bookshelves is 90% Fushimi-centric doujinshi. I may be ever so slightly obsessed.

Steddie fic rec list part 2:
Fluff Edition
Part 1
These are the only the ooeyiest of gooeyiest of comfort fics. As little angst as you can get with these two.
a cinematic vision ensued (like the holiest daydream) by @fivecenturiesofverse
• Rating: T • Complete
Eddie and Steve have been spending a lot of time together since Vecna. They're co-parenting kids, getting high every night, and sleeping in the same bed. They basically share a wardrobe too.
He thinks this is dangerous, its like they’re married, the casual sharing of intimacy, this space between them which feels like something and nothing all at the same time. He thinks it’s dangerous for him to pretend Steve sees it the same way, that one day Steve’s droopy, kind eyes are going to see right through him and he’ll lose this. This being a side of Steve’s bed that is his, a nightstand where his rings always pile, a draw of shirts in Steve’s bedroom that only Steve uses. He can’t lose it, so he shuts his mouth, turns out the light, and watches the slow breathing of sleep fill Steve’s chest.
This one is so sweet; all sharing of clothes and beds and weed. It’s really short but god is it soft. The weighted blanket of fluff fics. Really adore all of Eddie’s internal arguments when he’s looking at Steve being the softest motherfucker on the planet and forcefully reminding himself that Steve is dangerous. I think about Eddie walking his knuckles down the knobs of Steve’s spine almost daily.
Linger by @yournowheregirl
• Rating: T • Complete • Modern!AU
Eddie hates the library, he hates how quiet it is and how he’s always getting shushed by that librarian hag Muriel. But he hates his idiot roommate and his tendency to hog their dorm room to have loud sex with his girlfriend all night long, even more. And now he has to spend all night in the library cramming for an exam, which would be fine, if not for the fact that some polo-clad douchebag shows up and declares that Eddie’s study spot is actually his.
Or: Steve and Eddie fight over a study spot and accidentally fall in love over coffee, Vivaldi and the horror that is finals week.
So fucking cute. I forgot how much I love college AU’s. Features: Wonderwall by Oasis (much to Eddie’s chagrin), a librarian from hell, a SickFic Chapter, and an Eddie that has ADHD. Also, this one’s for the emo-kid Eddie truthers out there. Teeny bit of angst and some miscommunication but for me it was worth it. Frickin adorable.
Date me instead by @zhuletta
• Rating: E • Complete
Every date Steve has gone to lately has been horrible. It’s impossible that there’s something wrong with the entire female population of Hawkins, so surely there must be something wrong with him.
“Why don’t you take me on a date then?”
“Wh— what?”
“Take me on a date, pretend, of course, and then I’ll tell you if there’s something wrong with you or not.”
Or: Eddie proposes a crazy idea to see if there's something wrong with him, Steve finds the fact that it works is even crazier.
So so fluffy. You will get a toothache from this one. It’s the cheesiest plot you could think of. For those of you who love a good loverboy!steve this for you. They’re just wooing eachother all the way through. Delightful.
Saving All My Love For You (and it’s sequel Endless Love) by @subtlehysteria
• Rating: M • Complete
It was decided then and there in the Buckley residence’s lounge, on their weird Persian carpet while staring up at the off-white ceiling and Robin giggling at his side. He was going to rock Steve Harrington’s platonic world, man. And nothing was going to get in his way.
Or: Eddie notices Steve struggles with touch and in trying to help his new friend, develops feelings along the way.
Really sweet. Classic touch-starved Steve and tactile affection Eddie. Bedsharing, pinkie promises, and platonic hand-holding. Eddie gives Will a makeover and some advice. A bit of subtle body worship, love that. Sequel fic is also really cute but it has a bit of a rough scene with The Harrington Parents so be aware of that.
Do Nothing With You by @red-0ak-tree
• Rating: M • Complete
Steve and Robin get a two bedroom in Hawkins. It's perfect, except for all the ways it isn't. Drafty windows, clogged drains, shitty landlord. But it's got a couch. A couch that's often occupied by Eddie Munson. Home isn't really the kind of thing Eddie has much of anymore, ever since his trailer became the primary source for all his nightmares. Luckily, he knows of a semi-comfortable couch where he's always welcome.
Despite all it's problem, the house has perks. Primarily, it's somewhere Steve can actually call home. Secondarily, it's somewhere he can share with the people he loves.
AKA: The fruity four live in a convoluted roommate situation, and romance happens along the way.
We all love a good co-habitation fic. Robin and Steve get an apartment together, it’s falling apart, and Eddie knows how to fix things. Slowly, Steve and Eddie start to help fix eachother. This probably has the most angst out of all of these, but it’s also one of my absolute favorites and the sweetness overpowers the lows.
PTA Shouldn’t Stand for Pretty Tight Ass by @samthefrank and @humanityinahandbag
• Rating: M • Incomplete • Future fic/Modern!AU
Steve Harrington - ex local legend and fearsome bully, now single father of two - returns to Hawkins after the world spit him out. With a messy life to sort through, all he wanted was settle down and get his kids through seventh grade without any surprises.
Cue Mr. Eddie Munson, ex victim of one Steve Harrington, now Hawkins Middle School's favorite music teacher.
Or: What happens when your former high school bully raises two absolute nerds, joins the PTA, helps run the bake sale, makes the best cupcakes in Indiana, and may or may not be having a bisexual crisis.
This was the very first Steddie fic I ever subscribed to and let me tell you I get so HYPED every time I get the notification they update. Steve is a single dad to twins Dustin & Max, a damn good baker, and custodian at his dad’s auto dealership. Eddie is a music teacher in the style of Jack Black in School of Rock, who’s best friends with his fellow teachers Miss Buckley and Miss Cunningham. This fic has Robin and Eddie perform Body Talks by The Struts & Ke$ha at an open-mic karaoke and it’s so fucking electric that that song earned a place on my steddie playlist. It’s a real slow burn but I’m so excited to see where they take this story.
it’s such a magical mysteria by @phantom-of-the-wapera
• Rating: M • Complete
Eddie's staring at the ceiling, eyes half closed and still giggling faintly. He looks pretty. He looks like he belongs here, in Steve’s bed, and Steve gets hit with how much he wants Eddie to stay, to crawl in bed beside Steve every night and wake up there every sunrise.
And, shit, it’s a lot. Steve's gone, completely, fully, fucking free-falling his way into everything that was, is, and will be Eddie Munson. Head over heels, ass over tits, heart-took-a-nosedive off his sleeve and into the lap of the boy beside him, gazing half-lidded at the ceiling, the glimmer of dreamy stars in the sliver of his eyes Steve can see.
or, the one where Steve's trying to figure out his future, his feelings, and one Eddie Munson.
So fluffy, so sweet. They’re all nerds and they love Star Wars. This is a tiny detail but Steve goes to college and he likes it and I love that for him. Completely SMOTHERED in hope for a bright future.
nice to meet you, where you been? by @flowercrowngods
• Rating: T • Edit: Complete • Modern!AU
When Eddie enters the tattoo parlour that Chrissy recommended to him, he doesn't know what'll hit him. Never in a million years would he have expected the pastel or the minimalistic decor or how really fucking polished everything about this place is. It's like an antithesis to Eddie's entire existence has been created with the makings of this shop.
The absolute cherry on top is the man that walks into the room to greet him, though, and Eddie can't contain the look of absolute bafflement. Because there is no way that Steve Harrington, whom Eddie has has the maddest crush on in high school, owns a tattoo shop. No way. Nuh-uh. Not dressed in pastel like he is.
Eddie wants to punch a wall. What he doesn't know yet is that he'll have the best time reconnecting with Steve. And if he gets a tattoo out of it, well, then that's just another win for the community in his book.
LOVE a Tattoo Shop!AU and this is no exception. This one is pretty new, but so far it’s the fluffiest shit I’ve read in ages. Features trans man Eddie, Chrissy Cunningham as his scheming best friend, and a lot of Taylor Swift. I literally found this one moments ago and immediately needed to put it on this list. It’s too fucking cute, I can’t wait to see where it goes.

AFTERSCHOOL HANAKO KUN CH 27—THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS
1. I love this panel sm 😭 they’re all so cute and it just makes me wish and wish and wish that they could all be normal together
Tumblr media
LOOK AT KOU AND HIS FRIENDS IM GONNA CRY!!!
2. AGSKANSK THEYRE SO CUTE AND TEENY
Tumblr media
Also Kou’s cardigan looks like Mitsuba’s cardigan and now I need official art of him in it
3. Uh… no comment
Tumblr media
4. This is just a Mitsuba appreciation post now
Tumblr media
*please note that both of Mitsuba’s hands are visible here…
5. I love so much about this—Yokoo being terrified is actually so real and also LOOK AT KOU LISTENING SO INTENTLY TO HIS BF
Tumblr media
6. Okay ngl… I was a little spooked at Mitsubas story… well up till the end
7. Now this is an Aoi appreciation post
Tumblr media
8. I WAS SPOOKED WHEN THE SECOND YASHIRO SHOWED UP!!!! SHE STARTS BANGING ON THE DOOR LIKE HELLO?????? ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT
9. Everything about her starting to question her surroundings!!!! Like oh my god????? I had chills!! (Kou looks so cute with his little head tilt)
Tumblr media
Edit: how tf did I not realize Kou didn’t have his lame ass earrings on here??!?! Like the head told literally like annunciates it
10. He’s so—
Tumblr media
I actually love them so much 😭
11. AGSKANS THEYRE SO CUTE!!!!!!! LOOK AT HIM BLUSHINGGGGG
Tumblr media
“The world I love” I know who you’re really talking about Yashiro Nene….
11. My good sir is THINKING about that shit
Tumblr media
Okay I actually have a lot of theories for this chapter and it’s not even part of the main story.
So while I was reading it I went through a few different ideas. First I started drawing comparisons to the pilot chapters (Yashiro is in a long sleeved uniform and at first I saw Kou’s cardigan and thought that it was the same from the pilot BUT upon further research the jacket Mitsuba has on is closer to Kou’s original jacket. Which to me could still point to the pilot bc it could just be the old uniform for them but idrk) (and speaking of Mitsuba—like I said before his sweater isn’t over either of his hands…) but Teru being there kind of put a pin in this theory. Also I don’t know if the Mitsuba thing points any fingers to the pilot chapters but it’s just something I noticed and I think it must mean *something*. I also noticed that Aoi’s hair was back to being up which was really weird…
So then I started thinking about what exactly this could mean otherwise. Now, I’ve seen a lot of people calling this a nightmare, but was it?
The next place my mind jumped to was that Hanako wasn’t with them from the beginning and is not mentioned at all till he shows up at the end. Curious.
Sooo what could this meannnnn? Well I don’t think it was a nightmare at all. I think that this is a parallel universe (it’s still weird that in this universe Amane isn’t friends with Yashiro and Kou/is dead but Mitsuba isn’t, but who knows….) and our Yashiro is summoned into this parallel world by the stories her friends are telling. And so she is the doppelgänger as Teru and Natsuhiko say.
I think this is really plausible because Mitsuba’s story is very strange in that it doesn’t end normally and he says that he heard it from a friend of a friend then reiterates that same thing. In a way it almost seems like this really *was* just some real story he’d heard and maybe he’d mistaken it for fiction but it was actually true. And! These other versions of her friends that she’s with don’t recognize her versions of them (as we see with Kou), but really we can see this from the very opening because our Teru would NEVER participate in this normally. Especially not with such enthusiasm. And Hanako showing up and knowing what to do like that is very indicative of him hopping into this universe with her to protect her (like the consequences of the doppelgänger are real) (and obviously this is within Hanako’s power). Then when we cut back to the real world/the original universe Yashiro doesn’t tell us that she’d been sleeping, just that suddenly she found herself in the classroom. AND when she’s talking to Hanako later he doesn’t say he *didn’t* help her, he says “who knows” and I feel like that’s a classic Hanako deflection line!!! Meaning that he DID help her!!!!!!
Anywayyyyy I really liked this chapter. Like I feel like the afterschool chapters don’t normally feel so lore-heavy…. Part of me wants this to come back somehow. Like maybe later in the main series they travel between parallel universes for whatever reason (maybe that’s what it is when Yashiro sees past Amane—though I hope not because I really want that to have actually happened in Amane’s life in our timeline)
EDIT: OH MY GOD OH MY FUCKING GOD KOU DOESNT HAVE HIS EARRING IN!!!! HE DOESNT WEAR IT HERE!!!!!!!! THIS IS CRAZY ACTUALLY JESUS 😭 (I wonder if this can somehow be linked to Mitsuba being alive… cause traffic safety and whatnot… hmmmmm) (like he still has an earring but it’s not the traffic safety one arghhhhhhgg!!!!)
EDIT EDIT: I WENT BACK TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHY I DIDNT NOTICE AT FIRST AND ITS ALMOST LIKE ITS BEING HIDDEN TILL THE HEAD TILT PAGE!!!! THERES ALWAYS LIKE A SPEECH BUBBLE IN THE WAY OR LIKE YOKOOS HEAD OR SMTH!!! OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHM—
Edit edit edit: I’m Stan and I was wrong. I’m singing the Stan wrong song. I shouldn’t have taken that chance. Now here’s my remorseful dance. (Translation: even though it can’t be seen in most panels and that does feel kind of purposeful to me still, there are like two or three panels where his right ear is in clear view)

was talking with some online friends of mine about my brew shortly after my post about fairy rui and did eventually manage to come up with something (i will still be trying to draw the requests i got though because i do like them)
so uh…as i like to call it bite sized fantasy au, they’re all very very little critters
splitting them into 4 species! fairies, elves, gnomes, and water pixies. all live in different parts of this forest. fairies live in flowers, water pixies in this one pond (the fairy flowers surround this pond so both species know each other well and have an alliance), elves are hidden in this like uh..mushroom village in the forest, and gnomes managed to make little homes underground.
i think my role list will be this:
fairies - honami, airi, akito (please it’ll be funny), rui, ena
water pixies - shiho, shizuku, kohane, nene, kanade
elves - saki, haruka, toya, tsukasa, mizuki
gnomes - ichika, minori, kohane, emu, mafuyu
i think for the most part plot wise if i write this it’ll mostly be from rui’s perspective
here’s tsukasa’s design ref that i’ll color soon i love him so much he’s..he’s so baby he’s so teeny tiny

headcannons for mommy wanda na daddy nat 🥺👉🏽👈🏽
Mommy wanda and daddy nattybear 🧸
Oh my god okay so I loved writing this sm here we go (below the cut cause it’s long)
Contrary to popular belief, it’s wanda who wakes up first in the mornings. Something about the quiet of the morning bliss just makes her heart all warm and fuzzy. Most mornings she’ll pry you off her arm and gently roll you into Nattybears to not rouse your from the sweet dreams she’s fluttered in your tiny mind.
When you wake up you almost all the time find wanda missing and huff yourself out of your slumber to patter softly in the kitchen to find your Mommy whisking up either some oatmeal or pancakes or even her favourite treat for when you’ve been extra good, blueberry scones.
“Oh hello baby oat what are you doin up hmm? It’s supposed to be sleepy time little bear” She would say something along those lines most mornings and you couldn’t help but whine and hold your arms out for Mommy to hold you close for snuggles.
Natasha would walk in with just oversized tee and her scarlet witch boxers, you got them as a gift to her and over time they became her favourite pair groaning about how it’s too early to be up and she’s just snatch you out of Mommy’s arms to have her snuggles.
“Daddy’s grumpy again Mommy” you giggle and Nattybear just boops your nose. “Accusations already wow, well aren’t you just a Mommy’s girl” her voice all soft and warm. And then the three of you eat breakfast nothing really gets in your mouth but that’s okay mommy and daddy will fix you up
Natty lets you watch bluey all the time and Wanda grumbles at the amount of screen time but lets you watch anyway as long as you promise to have your naps and go to bed at bedtime. Wanda would sometimes make you angel milk to make you even sleepier and it always results you flopping over the iPad in a slumber.
Natty always carries you to bed and Wanda always changes you before. Only when you’re really really really teeny will you be all doe eyed and gurgling just wanting to have something in your mouth to sooth the smol-ness. Nattybear gives you her fingers and wanda gives her milkies if you’re feeling super tiny
Your favourite thing to do is colour and draw and make mosaics to show your mommy and daddy what a clever doll you are. Always asking Mommy to go outside and collect flowers to make a pretty nature picture. You love the bath and absolutely love the washable crayola markers they got for you so any chance you get you’re scribbling all over the tile-patterned wall.
Flower crowns. Wanda makes them. Natasha tried to learn but got frustrated when hers kept breaking so you learned from Mommy and taught Daddy to try and make them again. She never got the hang of it but watching you try and help her makes her heart melt.
Natasha loves to braid your hair so much. She always gets new ideas from her sister, Yelena and tries them on you and whenever you’re done you’re always having a mini-photoshoot for Daddy to send to Aunt Yelena to show off your new hair styles!
You love hearing both Mommy and Daddy sing you soft little lullabies in their native tongue and even tried to pronounce some words but they’re always shushing you saying “sweet doll trying so hard to be like her Mommy and Daddy, Angel it’s okey if you can’t they’re really big words” and they always manage make you feel warm and fuzzy no matter what they do or say. You always feel safe in their hold and their presence. They will always protect you at any cost <3

ronancetober day 2 - vampire/werewolf!
I know I’m pushing the timeline I KNOW I KNOW but look, becca made fluff!! that is so wild. thank you @lionydoorin for the prompts and this whole fantastic idea <333
800 words of mushy halloween-ness under the cut!
“Is it too much?” Nancy’s chewing at her nails as she looks around the kitchen, surveying the decorations with a hyper-critical eye. The sounds of a vaguely-spooky Halloween record drift into the air around them. The entire house is strewn up with all kinds of ornamentation: bubbles of shiny black-and-orange balloons; all kinds of pint-sized pumpkins, regular orange and white, and some carefully painted gold; black-cat paper cutouts and tissue paper ghosts hanging from the ceiling. The lights are low and warm, and the whole apartment smells like apples and cinnamon.
It is extraordinarily excessive—especially considering how conservative they’d been with the guest list—but all Robin can do is be endeared by it, the way she’s hopelessly endeared by everything Nancy does. And her nerves do sort of make sense. It’s the first gathering in their new shared apartment,  their first real attempt at home-socializing since Nancy started at Emerson and Robin followed her to Northeastern. Steve, Jonathan and Argyle are all coming by, but not until late. This whole thing was Nancy’s idea, but now that the day has rolled around she’s, obviously, a little freaked out. 
“No, not at all,” Robin promises. (If there’s a tiny bit of loving laughter in her voice, so what?) She swings around the kitchen island, padding close to wrap her arms around Nancy’s waist, and Nancy, like she always does, lets out a little whuff of a sigh and lets some of her weight drop back against Robin’s chest. Her shoulders slump a moment later. Robin quietly drops her head, pressing a soft, slow kiss to the curve where Nancy’s neck meets her shoulder, drawing her mouth lightly up to just under Nancy’s ear, inhaling the sweet clean smell of her fancy perfume. Her curls and the lavender in her shampoo tickle Robin’s nose, until she’s forced to pull back slightly with an abrupt sneeze. 
Nancy half-laughs, throwing her head back to bonk Robin’s shoulder. After a moment, she wiggles just far enough out of Robin’s grasp to spin around so that they’re chest-to chest, dragging her palms up Robin’s biceps, then her shoulders, then resting them affectionately on either side of Robin’s face. 
And Robin stares at her, because how can she not? It’s so, so easy to be caught in her spell. The way her hair frames her face, the sharp line of her jaw, the teeny-tiny smile that plays at the very edge of her mouth, flashing just the very tips of two needle-sharp fangs. Today she’s wearing a slick of dark eyeliner and blood-red lipstick, applied so carefully except for the one tiny drop that sits at the corner of her lips, perfectly shaped like a tear. In a tiny black dress and a black cape lined with red, she is, Robin thinks warmly, the cutest vampire that’s ever lived. Her whole chest is buzzing with affection. There’s a trace of something sharper underneath, too—fanged and maybe a little possessive—but mostly just loving. Doglike loyalty.
“I kind of want to eat you alive right now,” Robin says, though the seriousness of it is undercut by the fact that she can’t refrain from planting a kiss on Nancy’s cheek midway through the sentence. 
Still with Robin’s mouth on her cheek, Nancy says primly, “I wouldn’t taste very good.”
“Beg to differ,” Robin mumbles.
Nancy rolls her eyes like it’s the cheesiest shit she’s ever heard, but there’s a slight blush on her cheeks and a thread of laughter in her voice as she says, “Not what I meant. Um, do you—” Her voice drops suddenly. It’s not quite serious, but certainly not as light as it was ten seconds ago. There’s a tiny worried gleam in her dark eyes. “Do you think the costumes are too, uh... on the nose?”
“Well, mine’s not.” Robin tilts her head, sending the cat-ear headband pinned into her shaggy hair slightly off kilter. She wrinkles her nose, too, to bring Nancy’s attention back to the black triangle of a nose and the thin whiskers Nancy had painted on with her eyebrows furrowed in concentration. And thank god there’s no tail—just a fluffy oversized black sweater on black jeans. “I don’t think anyone is gonna look at this and think werewolf. You, on the other hand—“
Nancy lets out a little whine. “Rob, I’m serious.”
“No, hey. I know. Look—” Robin blows out a soft breath. She raises a hand, brushing a loose curl back from her girlfriend’s plaintive face. “All I’m saying is, most people don’t know as much as you do. Haven’t... seen as much. They’re not gonna think it’s real, or that there’s anything not normal about you. They’re just gonna say, ‘oh my god, isn’t that the cutest vampire you’ve ever seen?’ and then I’ll interrupt to say ‘yes, it is,’ and then when someone starts making jokes about hitting on you I’ll just—”
“Rend them to pieces with your big scary teeth?” Nancy finishes, batting her eyelashes exaggeratedly. 
Robin beams. “Exactly.”

Thought it might be interesting to share a snippet of my process behind making comic pages! Because everyone loves chaos, right? I never thought I’d get this invested in my Roleswap AU but I’m having too much dang fun!
Tumblr media
I reserved this computational notebook just for my comic! I got it for free at work, lmao. But the graph paper comes in handy! I only keep thumbnails in here to stay organized. I do any sketches or brainstorming in another sketchbook.
Tumblr media
I have my rough height chart of the main characters on the inside cover. (I’m covering up some smaller stickies that have major plot bullet points that I don’t want to spoil yet!) But it turns the cover into a handy and quick reference if I need a refresher.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I do all my thumbnails on rectangular sticky notes! I like them because I can cut and overlap and rearrange them to my heart’s content! Plus they’re small so it encourages me to keep my panels simple at this stage. (It works some of the time)
Tumblr media
I’m very fond of this one in particular. Sometimes Dedede is just a teeny round head inside a box and that works for me. :)
Tumblr media
I arrange everything in chronological order, so I also love being able to flip through the pages and see the progression of the story at a glance. Really helps me with seeing the bigger picture since it’s very easy for me to focus on the little details instead of a cohesive overall story.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I change my mind a LOT between the thumbnail and drawing stages (usually when I’m actually doing the final drawing), so the end result is always a little different. I really like looking back and analyzing the path of my ideas. Here’s a comparison for Page 10 of the Roleswap Prologue!
I’m no master storyteller- I still have lots to learn! But I feel like planning this fan comic has already taught me a lot, and that’s what excites me the most about it!
I don’t claim my method to be the best or most efficient. To be honest it looks pretty chaotic from outside, doesn’t it? But I’ve evolved my methods over the years and it’s personally worked for me so far! Perhaps this can offer a bit of insight towards someone refining their own story process! (Even if the only lesson you take from this is to not be like me, haha!)

 Previous Dresses: Scarecrow | Riddler, Ra’s, Two-face, & Penguin
I think this will be the last of my Batman Villain Lolita Post for now, with a few of the more challenging villains.  Again, feel free to make your own designs or use these in some way, the more the merrier. :D  
A few thoughts underneath the read more + alt colors for Zsazs & Killer Moth
Black version for Zsazs to keep with his pants & classic Killer Moth:
Tumblr media
Pyg: I think he’s one of the most Devianart Edgelord of the Batman villains, but his portrayal in Arkham Knight was done well enough that I warmed up to him.  His plastic surgery nightmare face design is fun and the reactions of the victims & other people worked well, and showed Lazlo as terribly messed up instead of cool edgelordsona.  Like, you know, a person who’d exist.  Good job Batwriters. 
Anyway I leaned towards the guro lolita + simple butcher look his comic and his game designs went for.  There are extra additions of frills for both a more “doll”ish look and a touch of ita, since tacky feels part of his character.  I didn’t want to just make a mask so I framed the hair as “pigtails” (what else?).  I think some make up would add to the look to make the doll idea and the pig idea go farther.  The pattern on the bottom of the skirt and boots is supposed to be those chain link people you can cut from a piece of paper that all hold hands, all perfect, like Pyg declares his dollitrons.  I’m not sure how successful the transparent apron is but at the end oft the day I like it and that’s what counts.
Freeze: This design might lean too much towards literal costume and less into a more practical interpretation of the design, but I can’t help it, I like the Tron and glowy stuff aesthetic.  Doing a retro futuristic lolita look was too fun of an idea to pass up.  Not much has changed outside of converting it to a dress and turning the gauntlets into Miku bell sleeves.  Snowflake earrings & delicate hair for Fries’ one true love & because they’re pretty.
Black Mask: I didn’t want to do all skulls since there’s enough dresses out there that do that, so I ended up with the mask part of his name.  Made sure to give the rich colors of a mobster along with the swag of the suit as well.  I think this one could be designed to be better and less busy (to fit in with the sleekness of Black Mask’s look more) but I wanted to go a bit over the top because why not, Lolita’s very theatrical.  
Ventriloquist: Ok, this is a silly one.  This is nice and casual lolita that doesn’t look too close to Wesker, but that’s because Wesker’s design is supposed to be intentionally plain and meek.  Without the (badly drawn, sorry) Tommy gun purse & Scarface, I don’t think he’s recognizable.  That’s not a bad thing - him and Scarface complement each other perfectly and make a memorable design.  So I did my best to make a cute casual coord and add the few touches to make it look more like Wesker, & drew a teeny Scarface to show such.  I wish I could have done more to reference Peyton Riley/the second Ventriloquist but all I could capture was the color since her design is also very simple. 
Scarface himself only got colors that were closer to the outfit.  I didn’t fancy him up too much since I think it would mess with the gangster look he has, which is already close to aristocrat fashion in the lolita world.  He was lucky not to get extra frills at the ends of his sleeves!
Zsazs: another mainly Arkham Design.  Most of mine are based partially on Arkham since that’s where I get most of my Batman fix, apologies!  Anyway, I just liked the idea of a skin-flesh dress with the locks and buckles of the Arkham prisoner jacket/uniform.  The bell sleeves already being on him made this a lot easier.  I left a spot open where I was going to draw the bat symbol, but I decided against it.
Killer Moth: Top are his Arkham Asylum Artwork colors since I think they’re very nice.  Went for a cute little 1960s inspired fur coat & bob, as his design is already psychedelic. Gave a fun flower crown to round out the colors & hold up some cute moth antenna.
Firefly: His The Batman design was the most unique to pull from and a good starting point to make an outfit.  I took some inspiration of the warning stripes, junk around the belt, & burnt skin tights from the Arkham version too.  *ellis voice* I ever tell you about the time Keith and I made fireworks? Otherwise, his design would have been much harder to work with considering it’s mostly a solid suit with not many features in his apperances.  It would have had to be more abstract if I went for one of those.  
But yeah his The Batman design and designs spinning off from it kick ass, so I did a sporty-ish look.  I hope the bonnet doesn’t look too silly, I just wanted headware that differed the outfit from Killer Moth better.
Strange: Another design that had to go with the Arkham look.  Strange is a classic villain with his face being one of his big, defining features.  This is a great thing in character design, it just means it’s harder to make an outfit around it! 
I love the classic mad scientist look so I didn’t stray too far from it, it looks fun medical Lolita already. All I really did was add the medical book brain pattern (thank you British Library) + little bats, because of course he’d have bats on his brain.  It’s also a nod to his habit of Batman Cosplay & impersonation.
A few people I thought of but didn’t make dresses for:
Joker - He’s fabulous, I just didn’t feel jokery & wanted to focus on others more.
Catwoman, Harley, & Ivy - All three ladies have so many designs it’s hard to choose.  They have so much more freedom with their designs than most of the male crooks.  I’d have to make like... 4+ outfits for each just like I did with Scarecrow if I was to ever be satisifed. ;w;
Mad Hatter, White Rabbit - All the Alice themed supervillains have been done as Lolita Coords by Lolita fashion already since, well, Alice was a big inspiration for the fashion in general. I’d be down for them but I just felt bad because I couldn’t think of how to separate them from others as well as I could, like how I made Black Mask’s design more elaborate as to make sure the themes and connections to the villain was clear rather than just a skull design.
Killer Croc & Man-bat: Also hard to differ between a general animal-themed coord and them.  
Thanks, hope you guys are enjoying your new year so far. :D

The Noses Have It
(Dieter x horror loving female)
Tumblr media
Words: 643
Summary: Dieter gets caught doodling, so a drawing session is in order
Warnings: teeny tiny bit of angst, loads of cute fluffy stuff
Check out masterlist here
Dieter was doodling. He hadn’t found himself randomly drawing or painting pictures since before he went into rehab. He never felt any artistic urge to create anything with his hands, focusing too much on his mental health issues. Lately, he found himself randomly sketching on a napkin or on the corner of a script.
You caught him in his random doodling and wanted to see more of his artistic skills. Now you and Dieter were sitting opposite each other on your couch, sketching pictures of each other, occasionally nudging each other playfully with your feet.
“Didn’t you do art in school?”
“I did but got kicked out of art class. The teacher found my style too…” he gestured wildly, unable to come up with an appropriate word.
“Too Dieter?” you suggested.
“I was a total goth at school. I used to draw a pentagram on my palm and mumble random shit to scare everyone away.”
You couldn’t help but laugh at the image. “I wish I was goth; I was just a general nerdy weirdo.”
“I bet you were cute though.”
You shrugged off the compliment, “I was always compared to my perfect older sister and then when my perfect younger brother came along, I got compared to him. I stuck out as the weird one who played with makeup.”
“Nothing wrong with being weird.”
“It also meant everyone treated me as stupid because I didn’t want a career in the medical field.”
“I’ve met stupid and you’re not it.”
“I was stupid enough to be stuck in a bad relationship.”
“That wasn’t your fault. It took me a long time in therapy to accept that the drug addiction wasn’t my fault.”
He squeezed your foot in assurance. You were both finished in your sketching and shuffled on the couch to sit together. Dieter showed you his drawing. The face coming at you from the page was a Venus in pencil.
“That’s not me.”
“It is, there’s your cute little nose.” He could read the uncertainty on your face. “Did no one ever tell you you’re beautiful?”
You shook your head, “It was always followed by a but: ‘You’re pretty but you could lose some weight’. ‘You’re pretty but you need to smile more.’”
Dieter scoffed, “Sadly I know what you mean. I’m an actor, of course I’ve had it happen to me. ‘You’ve got a nice figure, but you could lose a bit more.’ ‘You have a nice profile, but you could benefit from a nose job.’”
“What? I love your nose.”
“You don’t think it’s too big?”
“No.”
“I’ve been told it’s a villain’s nose.”
You flipped over your book to show Dieter your creation. “Or a werewolf!”
He moved over to take a better look. “You drew me as a werewolf?”
“I think they’re the most romantic horror character.”
“More romantic than vampires?”
“Well yeah. They have no control over their powers, they have to obey the power of the full moon and wake up regretting their night of raw, feral insanity.”
“And they get naked,” that brought a laugh out of you “I look good as a werewolf.”
“And your nose very much suits it. You have a nice regal nose and…it’s dumb.”
“What?”
“No it’s stupid.” You closed off to the idea, but Dieter was eager to know and drew close to you.
“What? I want to hear it.”
“It’s kinda the opposite of mine, so they fit together like a puzzle. A two-piece puzzle.”
“Do two-piece puzzles exist?”
“See, that’s why it’s a dumb idea.”
“No,” he hugged you in reassurance, “You know those necklace things that have that heart that’s broken in two but then go back together? That’s what we are.”
“Really?”
“Really really. A broken pair of hearts halves put together as one heart. It doesn’t sound that romantic but…”
“No, it’s very romantic.”
Lovingly tagging @boliv-jenta @simpingcowboy @ellenmunn @o-sacra-virgo-laudes-tibi @chaithetics @brilliantopposite187 @myloveistoolittle @cevans-is-classic

Half a dozen in one (1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5)
Tumblr media
Oh no the Apotheosis is back and it wants to play, that’s never a good thing
Tumblr media
Scriabin is not into it
Tumblr media
I wanted to draw King Scriabin but I goofed up the crown so bad lol, at least his face is cute ✨
Tumblr media
Pokemon Vargases! From that time that I forgot how to draw their Pokemon versions lol. You have to approach Espeon!Edgar gently, he’s easily spooked
Tumblr media
Sylveon!Scriabin is such an attention hog, poor Edgar haha
Tumblr media
*puts my feelers around you condescendingly*
Tumblr media
Sleeping on each other, always ♥ Even sleeping, they’re still intertwined lightly, Edgar’s hand on Scriabin’s shoulder and Scriabin’s on Edgar’s arm ♪
Tumblr media
I had an idea about Scriabin “reading” Edgar’s mind by guessing how he feels about something, but I unfortunately forgot the specifics just as I was writing it down, so frustrating
Tumblr media
I do remember that it was something a lot closer to how Scriabin felt about that thing and he was describing how he felt, not just Edgar, but he realized too late
Tumblr media
Made him feel isolated :(
Tumblr media
Apology hugs 💕
Tumblr media
Who wrote this eviction notice, this is a cave?? I just think they turned out really cute here haha ♪
Tumblr media
Stop being naked >:0
Tumblr media
Don’t wanna get used to it >:(
Tumblr media
After all the Father and Daddy puns, I had to lol. Lady!Edgar with her hair down is just so prettyyyyyy
Tumblr media
Two mops, makin’ out
Tumblr media
For whatever reason, I started a teeny tiny little ScriAnimal series - first up is Scriabat with hand-wings because lol
Tumblr media
I was watching a video of someone with their bird who was munching on the inside of their glasses stem haha
Tumblr media
Scriabird is here to scream and knock things off the counters
Tumblr media
And cutely chew on things
Tumblr media
We are stopping this sketchdump for a Jake appreciation minute ♥ Thank you for appreciating Jake, now back to our regularly scheduled programming
Tumblr media
A quick and silly digital doodle - waxing via tape is not recommended
Tumblr media
Got the urge to draw dragons again, Scriabin needs to settle and Edgar is in protecc mode. His hugs are even harder to escape than normal!
Tumblr media
The original sketch for sleepy Edgar - I couldn’t decide whether to use “World’s #1 Dad” or “World’s Best Dad”, so I just used both for the final version lol. Did Todd give it to him? Did Scriabin? Did they both get him nearly-matching mugs??
Tumblr media
One of the early drafts for the ‘17 redraw; this was actually all drawn on one layer (on purpose! lol), which was a really fun experiment with some brushes I rarely use. I liked the angle of Edgar’s face too, he looks so smug haha ♪
Tumblr media
Tiny Edgar doodle for a quick reference, he’s so cute ♥
Tumblr media
I wasn’t kidding when I said it took a while to get Alone Together right, I was this close to giving up and just doing it the easy way several times before finally getting the trick down - I’m glad I didn’t but sheesh!
Tumblr media
I started a pretty long mini idea that I managed to get like 90% of the way through before deciding I didn’t like it lol, but there were still some really fun poses and expressions
Tumblr media
“What is it?” Light concern Edgar ♥
Tumblr media
Probably the most complex panel of the set, as much as I like the leg poses I’m also frustrated by them lol - didn’t help that my page smudged >:P
Tumblr media
A little bit of expression practice, the cute thing is Scriabin
Tumblr media
I heard it, we all heard it, everybody saw!
Tumblr media
Couple’a Scriabins to practice hair differences. I’ve gotten used to making him simultaneously fluffy and sleek like on the left, but I really love a True Floof look too, with many more starts and stops, it’s really fun ♪
Tumblr media
Uppies!
Tumblr media
Oscillates between “Why” and “You can’t tell me what to do”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brain baby Weirdly enough, this was actually inspired by a skin-horror idea I had but decided was a little too body-horror-y and so I repurposed it lol
Tumblr media
Some goofy matryoshka dolls haha. They remind me of Near’s finger puppets from Death Note somehow hmm
Tumblr media
More hair differences, using opposing methods of line directionality while shading and texturing Scriabin’s hair. Pushing up from under gives this really nice line weight; it’s harder to do consistently because I keep wanting to sweep down, but when it works, the shadows fall exactly where they should and it’s lovely ✨ And like I said, pulling down is a lot easier, and because of that I can get these really uniform lines - I prefer the tapered effect, but pulling definitely has its uses and-
Tumblr media
Hey wait a minute-
Tumblr media
Golden floof ✨ This is actually really hard to see IRL lol
Tumblr media
Edgar Warmup to see if my tablet was working properly, didn’t have time to pull up refs so from memory it is!
And that’s February through May again! Lots of silly little things, and a surprising number of scrapped larger ideas hmmm

CRUCIAL QUESTION what would cmy trio (+anyone else you want to add) wear for a halloween costume??
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS ALL MORNING OK so right off the bat cain’s favorite fuckin holiday is for sure halloween so he Definitely goes all out as anything that lets him splatter himself in as much fake blood and torn clothes as possible like a zombie or a slasher villain he genuinely fucking looooves it
and this is also like one of the few things cain would ever be pushy about is he would definitely drag his friends who don’t want to put any fuckin effort into dressing up and force them to dress up he’s secretly good at sewing n tailoring n shit so he would totally make costumes for hibiki and tex. who are shockingly hard to think of costumes for actually
tex definitely strikes me as a classic werewolf kinda guy cuz tex has Definitely never celebrated halloween he usually always is working on halloween and it’s like a human thing so he never paid it any mind and would probably just brush it off as “not for him”, but werewolf i think is perfect. or a frankenstein’s monster. actually scratch that cuz blue would go as a frankenstein’s monster and pair up with zinnia as the mad scientist those two are goths they love halloween too and totally do pair costumes that zinnia always incorporates fishnets into for herself
hibiki is shockingly the hardest cuz like he’s the kid he’s the one that this is all really For but he doesn’t even remember Existing on halloween let alone celebrating it so he has no idea. cue cain and blue and zinnia excitedly and somewhat forcibly helping him out. vampire would be cute and if tex is a werewolf and cain is a zombie then they’re a perfectly balanced halloween trio FUCK I NEED TO DRAW THAT NEXT YEAR REMIND ME TO SET A REMINDER.
sheet ghost hibiki is also adorable becaus A) he doesn’t need to see through a sheet and B) he can Fly which adds to it, but also a more elaborate like. little victorian boy type ghost would also be cute. i can also see him being really excited about like a clunky cardboard mech suit [but more realistically blue would go all-out in actually welding together an Actual mech suit for him]. the most obvious answer is “beetle costume like that video of the kid that gets down on the skateboard dressed as an isopod to scuttle around”
voltaire and carmine would both be super fancy victorian dracula type vampires and get into a catfight about who wore it better
KK doesn’t “do” human holidays the closest it would get is a shirt or hoodie
teeny already basically plays dressup every single day of her life but i think she would loooove halloween and just be really indecisive about what to go as. cat seems like something she’d begrudgingly settle on in the end
betsy always works on halloween and in a hospital so she can’t really dress up but she at least puts the effort into getting like a little pumpkin pin to put on her dress for the day
sawyer does not dress up but Does hand out free candy to try and help sweet talk potential customers
mantid does not dress up either simply because he is way way way way way way way way too shy to do so and would want to kill himself if he was the only one around to dress up. he’s never thought about it enough to get as far as even coming up with an Idea for a costume
whiskey just wears fake fangs and calls it a day
hijinx looooooooves halloween so so so so much. he goes as a clown despite the fact he is already a clown every single day of his life

#WoLiangerWeek 2023 Day 5 - Travel
Beetle and Urianger take a journey to allow the many tribes and peoples of the world to see their children.
"Do we have everything?"
"I believeth so, yes."
"Bottles and powdered milk?"
"Yes."
"Nappies and rags?"
"Indeed, my love."
"...Do we have enough clothes for them?"
"Plenty, I wouldst imagine."
Beetle pursed her lips, thinking for a moment.
"Ah! What about their stuffies?"
"Both Binky and Brie art in their possession as we speak."
"Okay. Okay… what about Moenie's jingly… thing? And Briony's uh, whatever the hells that thing is called, the thing with the beads that you scoot around in the loops…"
"Moenie's rattle and Briony's bead maze art also packed, my love."
"Okay, okay, great. Wait… did we pack–"
"Briony's hair care kit is packed in the left compartment with our other toiletries."
Beetle sighed, smiling.
"Alright. Let's get going, then. First stop…"
She took out the stack of letters from various tribes and peoples wishing to bless the children of the Warrior of Light, which had been organized by distance from their home.
"The Sahagin, and then the kobolds."
-------------------------------
"Pshhh! Such pretty grandchildren you have brought to Novv!"
Beetle laughed, handing her babies off to the clutchfather. He held them up, drawing the attention of the entire clutch.
"Brothershh and shhhisters, daughtershh and shhons! Behold, the spawn of the Shhhorewalker! Raise your handshh in bleshhhing!"
The babies giggled and cooed at being lifted, and the entire clutch made a cacophony of garbled hissing noises, much to their amusement. Urianger leaned towards Beetle, whispering into her ear:
"Pray, doth thou knowest what they art saying?"
"It doesn't translate precisely into our speech. But they're good noises. They did something similar when Novv declared me part of the clutch. It's good, trust me. I’ve been told it’s something like, 'bless these new clutch members and protect them as the Leviathan protects the sea'."
Urianger merely nodded, trusting his wife.
-------------------------------
The kobolds were equally happy to see the babies, Gi Gu skittering with excitement upon holding them.
"We have waited so eagerly, earnestly, enthusiastically! Such pretty little teeny tiny babies, yes yes! Precious and small just like our own kind! So cute, adorable, darling!"
Moenie then grabbed one of his whiskers, to which he winced and laughed.
"Ahaha! Ha! Such feisty children, yes yes, spunky, plucky, spirited!"
He gathered his tribe, encouraging them to gather round. They then lifted the children up, dancing and chanting all sorts of happy tunes, then gave the children each charms of volcanic rock for luck.
“May your children find their fortune, their wealth, their prosperity!”
“Thank you,” Beetle said.
Urianger, meanwhile, was rather busy trying to get Moenie to not chew on her rock.
-------------------------------
Next was the Brotherhood of Ash, where the Amalj'aa there had a rather elaborate ceremony prepared for them.
Hamujj Gah reverently took the children from their parents, placing them in a sort of raised nest of desert grasses.
“The ash. Fetch it.” he said to the others.
Urianger looked worried, but Beetle put her hand on his leg, reassuring him.
"Relax. They'll be fine."
The Amalj'aa took small pots of grey ash and began painting symbols of good fortune and blessings on the babies' faces, and then began a series of rather loud and sharp and then handed the girls back to their parents. 
Urianger, once again, began to worry when small torches of dried grasses were lit, but Beetle patted his hand.
“Don’t worry. They know what they’re doing. It’s safe.”
They lit the torches and blew them out gently, allowing them to release smoke. This smoke was then wafted over the girls. They were obviously too small to intentionally breathe it in, but everyone else was encouraged to do so, allowing it to lightly permeate the air around them.
Loonh Gah took her place before them, raising her hands in the smoke.
“Moenbryda, Briony, children born of the Warrior of Light - now reborn in ash and smoke, as warriors and masters of their own fates. May their arrows be swift, their spells powerful, and every swing of their sword mightier than the last. Protect these children, shroud them in smoke, hide them from evil. And when that evil reveals itself, may they strike it down with the force of a thousand gods!”
There was one final, loud chant in unison, and yet more ash was sprinkled on their heads, anointing them. Then the ceremony was over, the girls given back to their parents.
“I’m glad the ceremony didn’t upset them. I was a bit worried it might,” Beetle said to Urianger.
Moenie's face then warped for a moment, and before Urianger could even worry about her possibly crying, she sneezed a great cloud of ash directly into his face.
"Oh! Oops!" Beetle said, laughing.
Her husband merely looked at her, face covered in ash - much to Moenie's amusement.
-------------------------------
The Sylphs, much to Urianger’s relief, merely wished to play with the girls, cooing and giggling at how cute they were. However, once one of them suggested trying to take the girls into the forest for some ‘fun’, both of the parents quite insisted that they needed to go.
The Ixali, on the other hand, gave practical gifts, little play-tools to teach the children how to build. They also offered to take them on one of their balloon rides, which Beetle happily went with them on - while Urianger stayed below, not quite a fan of heights.
Next, of course, was the Vanu Vanu, high in the Sea of Clouds, where they danced and danced, passing the children to each other and placing crowns of beautiful flora on their heads. The girls had a lovely time - despite their father’s rather consistent worry that they would fall off and away into the clouds.
On the way, they stopped by the Redbills’ ship, where Captain Leofard generously bestowed copies of his favorite adventures. Urianger was so pleased with them that he forgot all about being thousands of malms in the air - for a moment, at least.
The Vath had rather unusual gifts of beautifully carved staves for the girls - for them to either learn to use, or use as a very pretty walking stick when they get older, at the least.
Next of course was the Dravanian Moogles, who delighted the girls to no end with their singing and dancing. They gave the girls kupo nuts - to absolutely no one’s surprise.
After a well deserved rest from three days of almost traveling, they continued onward to Gyr Abania, where the Vira happily lavished the girls with beautiful crystal jewelry and hand-stitched dolls of Anata.
The journey to the Far East would prove the longest, as the babies were not yet attuned to the aetheryte in Hingashi. But it was a welcome reprieve from all the walking - despite poor Briony getting seasick.
-------------------------------
The Kojin of the Blue had treasures and prayers aplenty for the girls, many of which their parents tried to politely decline - but Soroban would not let them come away with anything less than exactly what the Blue believed the little girls deserved.
On the way, they decided to visit the Four Lords, who were overjoyed to see the babies. The girls especially enjoyed this visit, as they got to play with all the auspices, who were more than happy to provide the girls with entertainment.
-------------------------------
When they made their way to the Steppe, a representative of the Oronir insisted on personally escorting them to Lord Magnai.
“Such beautiful children indeed. I can tell they will grow strong, like their mother and father before them. As is tradition among the Oronir, I have had gifts made for them.”
Beetle opened her mouth in an attempt to politely decline, so embarrassed already by gift after gift, but Magnai insisted before she could even speak.
“It is not optional.”
He gave them swords, beautiful ceremonial swords that they surely would not be strong enough to hold until they were much older.
“My goodness, art thou certain–”
“It is not optional. Take them.”
Beetle did not wish to argue any longer, taking the beautiful swords with them.
She then offered to let him see the children, which he was surprisingly 
“It is somewhat unfortunate you did not have a son as well, but I suppose it is fortune enough to receive a child at all, let alone two,” he said.
He sighed wistfully as he handed them back to their parents.
“How lovely it must be to have a family...”
Beetle simply insisted he would surely have one himself one day, to which he merely stated that of course he will some day, he was the Sun - though he blushed as he said it.
The parents then moved on to the Mol to the northeast, who offered them beautiful woven blankets made of wool, then prayed over the girls.
“I sense strength in their futures,” Temulun said. “Hardships, yes, but they will have the strength to overcome them. As long as they keep together, nothing shall stand in their way.”
-------------------------------
The Namazu were the tribe that Urianger perhaps trusted the least, but they entertained the girls into fits of uproarious laughter, so he was forced to allow it. And after all, the many showerings of gold coins were not completely unwelcome. 
On the way back down, they visited with Am’ii’s parents, informing them all was well with their grandson, and delivering letters from their daughter to them. Out of respect for their austere culture, they did naught else, though Beetle expressed a desire to cook for them. The couple insisted any cooking of hers would surely be far too indulgent for them, and she had to simply make do with the lovely compliment.
-------------------------------
Over the course of another week, they took their children to see their friends in Illsabard - and beyond.
“Ohh my goodness, look at them,” Jullus cooed at the very well-bundled babies, “Look at the size of those ears! Erm, if that’s alright for me to say–”
“Oh of course, that’s fine,” Beetle said, “I mean, those ears are big even for most Lalafellin babies!”
Jullus held Briony in his arms, bouncing her and placing a gentle touch on her nose.
“So tiny…”
There then was a very small voice behind them.
“Ah, excuse me…”
It was a young Garlean woman, a rather frail one, at that.
“How may we help thee?” Urianger asked.
“Oh, I just wanted to… see them, if that’s alright. I… haven’t seen a baby in so long.”
Urianger smiled, handing Moenie over to her. The woman held her as if she were made of crystal, carefully and with reverence.
“My, they are small little things, aren’t they? So small and precious…”
She ran a finger over Moenie’s nose, and the baby gripped her finger, giggling.
“Oh my, but quite a grip she has, eh?”
The woman seemed to warm at the very sight of her, smiling wide.
“Forgive me… I just… there haven’t been any babies around here, and I… I lost mine a while back. Long before all the madness, but still…”
Urianger’s face softened, and she continued.
“They’re all the same no matter where they come from, aren’t they? Beautiful and sweet, an entire lifetime before them… and they love everyone, don’t they? They don’t care about creed or faith or nation… they just love you.”
She swallowed, handing her back.
“Thank you. I just–”
“Would you like to see our other daughter?” Beetle asked, not skipping a beat.
The woman was quiet, but obviously overjoyed.
“Yes. I would like that very much.”
-------------------------------
Their journey to the moon was short, for the Loporrits had already seen plenty of the girls in Sharlayan, but there was one who had not been allowed to see them yet, and Beetle thought perhaps a visit was in order.
“Ah. Such beautiful children,” The Watcher said. “If only she were here to see them…”
Beetle sighed. Venat.
“Yeah. I think about that a lot. But… I’d like to think that she can, somehow. I think, in a way, she’s everywhere. Everything. Looking after us all. Just like she always wanted…”
Beetle did not linger any longer than she had to, leaving as quickly as she felt was polite.
-------------------------------
And finally, their journey ended in Thavnair.
“This is where you were born,” Beetle said to them, “Right in that jungle. It’s a bit scary thinking about it, but it all worked out in the end, eh?”
Estinien came to see them for the first time in months, immediately picking up Briony and hoisting her over his head.
“Such big girls! It seems just yesterday you were both just little lambs in my arms!”
Briony cooed and laughed, very happy to see him.
“Aha, I think she remembers you,” Beetle said.
“And why wouldn’t she, I’m the best uncle they have,” he said, gently throwing Briony up, much to her squealing delight.
“But come, let us see Vrtra. He’s been dying to see them.”
-------------------------------
“Ahh, you return,” the great wyrm said as they entered the room.
Briony was beside herself with excitement, squirming in Urianger’s arms, reaching for the dragon, making grabbing motions at him.
“Oh my,” Beetle said, “I think you’d better let her see him, love.”
Urianger brought her before him, and Vrtra laughed as he lowered his head.
“Oooo! Ooooo!” Briony cried, placing her tiny little palms on Vrtra’s scales, excitedly patting him over and over again. 
Moenie, too, was brought before him, and she began to excitedly touch his scales, though a bit rougher than her sister. 
“Aha, I am besieged at all sides!” Vrtra teased.
“Dag-ba! Dag-ba!” Moenie squealed.
“I… think she’s trying to say ‘dragon’,” Estinien said.
The entire room laughed, and the girls continued to explore the creature, until he suggested the girls be brought outside.
-------------------------------
Once the girls were brought outside, they looked to the sky. Suddenly, a joyous, triumphant roar could be heard, and Vrtra took to the skies, flying above their heads.
“OHHH!” the girls shouted, happily clapping, wriggling with such force the men currently carrying them nearly dropped them.
“DAG-BA! DAG-BA!” Moenie shouted at the top of her lungs, aggressively making grabbing motions at the great wyrm.
Everyone in Radz-at-Han laughed with delight at the display.
-------------------------------
Finally, after a long two and a half weeks of travel, the family settled into their room, putting all their things down and crashing on the bed.
“Ough, all this travel has been killing me,” Beetle said. “But my goodness, I can’t help but be immensely thankful for all the wonderful things people have given us and done for us.”
They watched the girls play on the floor, Briony playing with her favored stuffed mouse, and Moenie, her own stuffed rabbit. Beetle sighed, smiling.
“I love our kids,” she said.
Urianger leaned close, kissing Beetle on the top of the head.
“As do I, my love.”
They shared a fond, warm gaze. Urianger looked at his wife, beautiful and inviting, and he bit his lip, raising a brow.
“My love… dost thou think, when the girls are put down in their room… that we mayest, perhaps–”
Suddenly, they could hear Briony crying.
“Ohh! Moenie! You give her Brie back right now!” Beetle said, as she got up to remedy the situation.
Urianger sighed, clicking his tongue.
“Ah. Such is the life of the parent,” he muttered.
