Hello all! The new year is here, and so are everyone’s goals for the next 12 months. I’ve made quite a few personal goals that I won’t get into, but I figured I should at least share the art related ones here, even if I’m a little late to the game.
Finish at least 1 ref sheet. If I do real good I’ll make it 2. Still got a backlog of projects for people close to me, wanna get through those this year. I was ambitious last year with wanting to make progress on Rou’s ref on top of getting through personal projects, so I’m just gonna. Put a pin in that particular ref for now.
Share more WIPs. I’m not horrible at this now but I want to be better about it. Part of generating interest in my art is posting regularly, and WIPs kind of feed the gap in between advertising bases/adopts and finished art. I would really like to finally get off the ground with commissions this year, and I need eyes on my work to do that.
More studies and doodles. I currently do literally none (despite that being a goal of last year as well hhhh). Need to brush up on basics that I never learned and build up to higher quality by putting out quantity. These are also good “filler” post material when I don’t have finished commissions or personal art to share. I want to get better about the shame I feel when sharing something I think doesn’t look perfect or finished.
More traditional art. I want to do some traditional badges, but I also want to dabble in watercolor, gouache, and copics as well. The thought of this is simultaneously thrilling and scary, because I tend to like my traditional art more, but it’s also more costly to do bc supplies and whatnot. Probably won’t get to all of the mediums I want to try this year unless we luck out and move into a significantly larger space, but they’re there if we do and I have time.
Interact more with other artists! This year I want to make more of an effort to share,  like, and comment on other artist’s posts. I haven’t really done much online in recent years besides post art, so I wanna work more towards being an active member of the community and making new friends. And just…being a person! With meaningful relationships and connections! Ahhh!!
Anyways, I hope everyone’s year is going all right so far! I haven’t really been getting much done art wise, just because I’ve been focusing on other stuff. Work has been fine, minus the lead-up into this recent cold spell. It’s been kinda hectic the past few days with everyone preparing for wintry weather. The holiday season has actually been a little stressful for my family, one of our cars has been out of commission for a little while and will be for a bit longer while it gets repaired, so we’re down to 1 car for getting everybody to work and for errands and stuff.
That said, I’m still open for commissions and have an empty queue. A little extra fundage would really help cover gas and stuff right now ;3; https://erithacuscreations.carrd.co/#commission
Feel free to DM or email me questions about commissions if you have them! Be well in the new year!

need to figure out what I want to do for my SLP and I’m super torn between two ideas. i have two game ideas basically and they’re both things I want to do eventually but unsure what I want to do cause both have pros and cons
option 1: incremental game
pros:
- probably easier overall
- project I’m very invested in/have lots of concept art for
- would still have a lot of stuff I’d need to learn in order to make
- have a lot planned out for the future
cons:
- not really very impressive - even if I put a lot of work into it, it may be a bit underwhelming portfolio wise
- may not take long enough? while I have some kinda complex things planned and plan to make it something with continual updates, idk if it would really qualify as a year long project
option 2: platformer
pros:
- bit more impressive
- a LOT of documentation, tutorials, and advice out there on how to make one of these
- since this would be more difficult - I could potentially justify making the incremental as a side thing while this is my like. actual project. like
- have a bit more of a solid idea of what I’d want end of the year goal to be
cons:
- more difficult :(
- SO MANY ASSETS. I’d have to make so many more sprites and graphics and that would take away from coding time. also oh god I’d have to worry about music. oh no. i literally could spend a few months on the art side of this alone. i guess I could use some stock/filler but hhhh.
anyway yeah just. Lots of thoughts. mostly just putting my thoughts down for my own benefit but if you have comments feel free to share them.

hey how would we all feel if I had Ramona dye her fur in this au
Like Lisa Frank style maybe. Idk. Could be a touch extreme for what I want in practice but I wouldn't know til I try
(I'll have some of her art under the cut for an example of what I mean; also the wip this would be initially applied to. Also Natural Fur Color [barring Tweaks])
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you can see, bright and colorful! It just seems like that might be... tedious. Also difficult to do actually, for all of it? Cause I think the way I've done things so far implies some of the fur goes down along her back. She'd probably need help for that... I might have just talked myself out of this idk. Maybe she could dye her ears and tail still? Hhhh... idk it's just a cute fun idea. Maybe she did it back in college, since Roxie could help her? The way I'm tweaking stuff for the AU currently has Roxie around a lot more potentially, so she could start helping her do that again... or Kim maybe, even, later on...
Tumblr media
Also,,, how do we feel about Ramona's facial markings? I'm not sure if I vibe with them or not yet. They kinda don't look great if the faint white markings aren't also there? In my opinion? Idk. I'd love Thoughts.
Slight tweaks to Roxie's mask marking as well, might walk it back but I like it. Should it be less faint though? Hm. Again, I'd love to hear thoughts!
(Also, none of those eye colors are gonna be the final pick for this, I don't think; I just realized I'd forgotten to do that, so I tossed some that were close enough so I'd remember to fix them.)

Tell us about Sofiya. ^^ please. What are her likes, her dislikes? What do she and Layton have in common?
ODJRJFHEDH THMKS SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!!😭😭🙌 I'm glad folks still want to know about my OCs even though I rarely post about them hhhh💀
Sofiya, despite being an actual werewolf, can often be described as a rather plain person, as she finds comfort in the most mundane activities, such as reading and yoga. She likes practicing many different spiritual awareness exercises(aka meditation) that help her regulate her emotions and find balance within herself and her Wolf. Though she doesn't like being outside in the rain, Sofiya enjoys watching and listening to the rain from inside. She finds it an ethereal experience that can cleanse her mind from time to time. Besides her obvious devotion to God(which she may or not have changed or at least questioned after the Straub Lane debacle), Sofiya's other passions include music(she's most especially fond of choir, piano and violin), the arts(LOVES novels, films and theatrical productions, specifically of the romance/tragedy variety), and she positively geeks out over old Victorian architecture(she loves to feed her brain with knowledge of ancient buildings and the people who lived in them, also the Victorian era alone is something she finds interesting)
Sofiya absolutely HATES crowds and loud noises, makes her anxiety even worse and even more likely to unexpectedly transform. Any mention of her family or her hometown can also easily set her on edge. Her christianity is a touchy subject for her as well, as years worth of religious trauma had her questioning a lot of things regarding her beliefs and morals; though she still wants to believe in God, she'll never be able to erase her parents' abuse from her mind. But the thing Sofiya loathes most of all is being called a "beast", a "monster", a "demon" or anything of the like. Those are things she's s been called all of her life, and sometimes it becomes too much for her to bare. Once she and Hershel started dating, they kept their relationship private for some time, for Sofiya's own comfort. They only told certain people that Hershel absolutely trusted with the information, people that he knew wouldn't judge either of them. One of Sofiya's biggest fears is her partner being ostracized for dating a werewolf, being shunned and mocked by everyone around him, and possibly even worse. She couldn't bare the thought of her lover becoming an outcast and being labeled a "freak" like herself. Sofiya also fears of accidentally hurting the ones she loves, were she to ever lose control of her Wolf; she doesn't think she could live with herself were that to happen.
The main thing that Hershel and Sofiya have in common is the immense amount of trauma they endured throughout their lifetime. Though they didn't exactly share the same experiences, the two often confide in each other and can relate to each other's pain on some level. They both tend to be rather closed off from others emotionally and always put other's needs first. They're both very traditional altruistic lovers; Hershel always trying to be a true gentleman to his lady, while Sofiya wants to be a good, reliable girlfriend and service her partner in any way she can(she was raised with the inherently sexist belief that women should always service the man in a relationship). This often ends up with having "battles of politeness" as well as small arguments about what "traditional couples" should be. The two also share a love for the simpler things in life; beautiful autumn afternoons, a delicious warm cup of tea, a good book, a pleasant stroll through the park, etc. For these two, any peaceful, quiet moment in each other's presence makes for splendid memories. Once they find their eyes upon each others, it's feels as though all their troubles melt away in an instant. In those moments, they didn't care what other's thought about their relationship. Why should they? At the end of the day, they were both still people. They shouldn't have to worry about what everyone thought or said about them. They love each other, and that's all that mattered.

I don't engage in "discourse" that much but I've just been really angry about it like all day now which sucks
I'm not really trying to get involved in it at all like I was block people instead of engaging with them cause I just ??? don't want to deal with it ??? And that's ok ??? Like I see people complaining about "unfair blocking" and I just....don't even know what to say about that lmao like anyone's allowed to block anyone it doesn't matter that much
Like I dunno the other reason I don't post about this stuff is cause I'm not super good at being coherent (and I honestly don't want to put the effort into trying to be cause who really cares about whatever it is I'm saying at this point)
Hhhh there's so much shit I want to say but I've only gotten anon hate a few times and I'd like it to stay that way but I'm just uhhh
Angry
Don't be nasty is my main thing
Also just block people it's so much easier, way less stress

OwO i like to scrounge thru random blogs occasionally and i found yours via the very nice tags you left me when you reblogged my art. (TYSM BTW!!!) if you're looking for any sort of prompts atm, i think it'd be really cool to see more pollux and/or castor pjo content around if it speaks to you atm? if you're feeling particularly hurt/comfort i'd love to see you expand your hc on pollux crashing w/the demeter cabin after his bro's death <:3c regardless, i hope you have a good [timezone]!!!
oh! oh! oh! ily this is great tysm (and yw about the tags!!! your art was so good!!!)
Okay I will gladly expand on Pollux and the Demeter cabin hhhh
headcanons below, because they got really long.
I think the Demeter kids were really messed up, too? Like, not Pollux's level because no one could ever understand the situation that way he did, but they were really messed up for a while. Nothing grew for a few days, and all of the plants growing on/in their cabins and most of the strawberry fields died and wouldn't grow back. (The satyrs tried to make them grow but it only worked on very small parts)
Because Demeter isn't the most involved with her kids who aren't Persephone, it takes a lot to get her attention. This got her attention. She tried to cheer them up by sending them gifts and blessings, but Katie and Miranda insisted that the only thing that would make it better would be bringing Castor back from the dead.
Pollux was completely devastated for two weeks after his brother's death. It was only because of one of Demeter's blessings that he survived. He never came out of the Demeter Cabin except for once - Castor's funeral.
I want to say that Pollux had a good support system in the Demeter cabin, but they were wrecks too, and it was really hard for a while.
Nobody made eye contact with Pollux, and no one really liked to look at him at all, because him and Castor were identical twins.
Pollux didn't look at himself in the mirror until months after Castor died.
I think Pollux prayed to Castor a lot. At first it was sort of like a crutch, or a way to talk to him like he was still there. He would tell him about the cutest boys in camp, or how their friends were doing, small stuff like that. And he'd do it every day, usually around dinner time. Occasionally, like on their birthday or other holidays, he'd sacrifice Castor's favorite foods into the fire for him. Eventually he stopped praying every day, and now he only does it to ask for guidance, like a normal prayer.
The other two weeks Pollux stayed in the Demeter cabin were bittersweet. He laughed and had a good time with them, but it just felt empty without his brother there. And then when he went back to the Dionysus cabin...
It wasn't great. At first Pollux didn't want to touch the room, but after a few nights of restless sleep and constant crying, Miranda Gardiner helped him clean up most of Castor's stuff and put it into boxes to put in the closet. Pollux hated that he just packaged up Castor's stuff and put it away, but he told himself he could look at it anytime if he needed to. He wasn't a bad brother for trying to heal. Castor would want that for him.
Pollux decided he couldn't take Castor's absence hanging over him anymore and moved the boxes to his mother's house, where he stayed for the school year. She had always wanted their demigod lives to be separate, but he had to have his own life at camp if he wanted to live there and be better.
Dionysus was estranged, distraught at the loss of his son. He wanted to reach out to Pollux, but he didn't know how. He finally worked it out, though, and he and Pollux began to spend even more time together.
Pollux always remained grateful for the Demeter kids and their mother for the rest of his life, and he never forgot what they did for him.
Do you want some happier ones of when Castor was still alive? Of course you do.
Pollux was older by like a minute, and he always teased Castor about it.
Castor got the nickname "Castiel" because Katie Gardner had a big Supernatural phase and... you get the idea
Castor had so many crushes, but he never really got the date. He was a sweet kid, but he was really nervous and awkward at first when it came to relationships. Pollux was smoother and suaver, and constantly had everyone falling for him, not the other way around.
Castor had maybe one real boyfriend ever, and then one 'girlfriend' in like first grade.
I'm a sucker for Castercy now (thanks to @caffeinatedflumadiddlebutpjo) so he definitely had a big crush on Percy. They would have made a cute couple, but alas, Annabeth was Percy's true love.
Castor was best friends with a daughter of Athena named Otrera (after the first Amazon queen) but she joined the titan side of the war and then disappeared to Alaska half way through the war.
Castor's favorite color was purple and Pollux's is olive green
im always willing to talk about these two so just ask if you wanna know anything about them

how i would have changed s2 of hsmtmts
obvious disclaimer but im not a screenwriter or anyth so im not claiming what i want is best, this is just for fun lololol
okay so first of all nini would still have dropped out of yac but she wouldn’t have gone back to east, she would have transferred to north bc she was too ashamed to tell anyone she left at first and maybe she still wants to explore who she is away from ricky and the others
nini could join north’s batb and this way maybe we could have some playful rivalry with lily and nini and more scenes with antoine shdhdjdj also it could have been a great opportunity to flesh out lily’s character so those scenes where she reaches out to ricky and her confession at the end of the season actually make sense lol
speaking of ricky ,,, i think he should have left the play at some point hear me out. he only joined in the first place because of nini and barely wanted to do it at all once he realized he wasn’t gonna be able to perform with her. he could have joined crew and been a manager with natalie or smth considering he rlly does see the theater gang as a second family. also this would leave so much room for ej and ricky development and bants since ej joined the av club and began to pursue film. they could have some convos where idk ricky asks ej how he figured out what he wanted to do after duke didn’t work out and ricky could actually develop some interests that arent the play or nini ,,, maybe fucking art club i mean he did p good on that centerpiece for carlos’ quinceañera.
with ricky not being the beast anymore i think seb should take his place that would be soooo good. and since seb isn’t chip anymore carlos won’t make those snide comments about chip being a small unimportant role and we can just cut that whole fight bc it was dumb and bad. we could still have seb being insecure that carlos is only dating him bc there aren’t really any other gay guys at school. in a heartbeat is great and i did like ricky being supportive in the background it was kinda funny too idk dhdjdjfj
ooh i almost forgot abt rini ahshdj okay so i still think they should break up. but in my version there’s no ricky pulling an ej 1.0 and deleting comments off of nini’s insta, cause with ricky in art club and nini at north trying to figure out what she wants i think one of them would realize that they’re going in different directions and only got back tgt because they made each other feel safe cause what they had was familiar. this could be triggered by ricky mentioning smth abt nini at yac and then nini breaks down and tells him that she dropped out and is at north and doesn’t know where she’s going. and then they can both realize they aren’t good for each other rn and have a less tragic mutual break up.
honestly i really liked the scene of nini taking charge after miss jenn freaked out cause with the character detail of nini giving every person in the cast of productions she’s in a thank you note she just seems really like someone who is suited to lifting others up. this could still be explored at north, maybe she could help lily through her issues that were briefly implied in ep 11 and nini realizes she wants to be a drama teacher and encourage kids to go off book and put themselves into their acting, something she couldn’t have at yac.
okay now ej ,,, so like i said in ricky’s section, more bants between them cause i feel like friendships kinda fell by the wayside due to all the relationships so more friendship !!!! also the scene where ej tells his dad he’s not going to duke shouldn’t have been an ending scene, it should have been fleshed out with his dad pushing back saying how he pulled all these strings to get him in and ej saying he doesn’t wanna go if his own hard work couldn’t get him there. and also more scenes of ej doing av club things !!! and realizing he rlly likes film and wants to do it OMG IT WOULD BE SO COOL IF HE BROKE THE FOURTH WALL AND ASKED THE DOCUMENTARY CREW ABT THE FILM INDUSTRY god i would love that. the only scene we rlly got of ej doing film things was at the quinceañera which made me kinda sad. uhhh also i just wanted to specifically mention how ej got mr mazzara that job at cal tech bc it really showed how he wanted to be there for people not just for gina, who he had a crush on, but for mr mazzara who supported him outside of romance, so i wanna keep that for sure.
gina !!! okay so i mostly liked her arc in this season, the only changes i would make would be to flesh it out a teeny bit (god this hypothetical s2 would have to be like 22 eps at least shdjdjdjfj) anyways besides ashlyn singing home to get gina to stay i think there should be a scene where they actually talk in her room abt how gina feels safer when shes on the run (second chance reference ilysm) hhhh and also a scene of her and carlos actually working out compromises for their choreo cause i liked that bit of development too and fleshing that out would make gina an even better foil for lily, who felt a need to hog the spotlight like gina used to. with gina’s own arc fleshed out her character would feel more whole independently from romance and portwell would be even more rewarding than it is in the current s2. the only thing i would really change abt portwell is that they would kiss !!! in the finale but thats bc im biased.
ashlyn should have gotten a more fleshed out storyline about being insecure about not being a good enough belle or the typical belle. there were some throwaway lines when north did their typical dramatics but the only two real scenes that showed it were when ash talked to big red about it and when she was telling nini she wanted to do a run in “home” bc lily did it. ashlyn should get more screen time where she has to grapple with the reasons she doesn’t feel good enough and big red can still support her but also gina too bc i would like more roommate besties interaction.
kourtney could still date howie, that harry potter shit was cute but there needs to be smth else for kourtney’s arc. idk she’s still into fashion so maybe she could be out here trying to create her own line or smth? this doesn’t have to be resolved in s2 like making a wholeass line takes time and she could work on it into a potential s3. kourtney just didnt get much outside of howie and the stuff at the beginning of the season where she said nini inspired her to be independent and that's why she got a job was just dropped?? so i think that fashion could fill that for her if she’s still dating howie cause like having her whole arc just be the pizza place kinda overlaps w big red’s mini arc abt how he wasn’t settling for hospitality, its what he wants to do with his life.
ik what ur thinking. anna, even if you added more episodes, where would u find the room to add all these plotlines?? well first we cut (most of) the seblos fight, so thats some time saved. honestly most of the time that we r going to gain is going to be from cutting ms jenn’s time. things like ms jenn’s and nini’s car ride would get cut, but mostly all of ms jenn’s romances would get cut down. considering she’s the teacher and isn’t actually a character with an arc how does she have THREE love interests this season?? like all of the weird tension between her and zack can be cut, like just some short scenes of them being competitive can stay. all of the stuff with ricky’s dad can go bye bye we don’t need it. i did like her w mr mazzara so most of that can stay i just didn’t like how he said he would give up cal tech for her, ew no that would be gone.
the MENKIES !!!! this is the last thing im gonna address cause in a perfect world every character would get a long fleshed out arc but then the season would be waaay too long and also im mostly trying to work within material the show gave so this is mostly made up of “realistic” deviations from what actually happened. lol idk what that even means it just makes sense to me. but anyways!! uhhh bro idk i thought them dropping the menkies was funny but it also made the finale really BAD lmao. in this finale, seb is the beast, east still had to deal w the fact that they’re underfunded compared to north but no one is injured, lily is less of a poorly written character and maybe ppl are even rooting for her, and wow i just realized i never actually said what role i think nini should have in north’s show. OOH she could be student director instead of lily cause lily both being in the play while also directing was weird considering omg i just checked and according to her wiki page shes a FRESHMAN?? and they let her be student director? lol hell nah. okay so with all that in mind ,,, the menkies should have been the season cliffhanger instead of portwell. east and north should both be nominated, both schools perform at the menkies, and then the award winner is about to be announced and THATS when it cuts to natalie and the end of the season.
one, this actually gives more tension for a summer s3 as we would be waiting to see the consequences of whichever school won. also i bet people would be wondering if nini’s gonna be transferring back to east or staying at north. people would also prob wonder if ej would be getting the scholarship if east won and what that would mean for his interest in film.
lmao that got longggg and idk if anyone’s even gonna read this but it was fun to do :D

Old Guard Comforting Fic Recs
So! *gestures at everything in 2020* This has all been stressful. But you know what’s been great? The Old Guard and the sheer joy of comfort fics. Myself (cactusdragon517) and @lightdescending​ have put together a small list of fics we think are comforting and we hope you enjoy! Some have been previously recommended on this blog; others are new.
(Under a cut for easier scrolling on the dashboard)
what never was is now by ionsquare
This is a story about friendship and forgiveness. And learning how to live through immortality.
Friendship, team as family, Booker and Nile bonding.
Nile-Centric | Gen | 2708 words
What I Loved: I love this fic that's all about the team as family, but especially Nile's relationship with Booker. In this fic, it's very much a brother-sister bond and ionsquare does a delightful job at making this fic warm and gentle. It's soothing, in a way! Team as family is one of my favorite tropes. @ionsquare is on Tumblr and has written other fics for The Old Guard.
Feed My Soul by AphroditesTummyRolls
   “You left me to wake up all alone in our bed.” He said, his voice a velvet-soft rumble into the still morning air.    “I was going to make you breakfast.” Nicky replied, a little breathless as he held up the meticulously trimmed basil cuttings in his hand, as if that could sway Yusuf’s mind.    His hair fell into his eyes, and Nico pushed it back with his free hand, letting it fall around his ears and frame his face down to his cheekbones. It was long— he hadn’t had it cut since long before the Merrick job, and ever since he had simply not bothered with it.    He looked like one of the angels of old poetry. He looked like the Renaissance muse he had once been— the reclined nude in that Florentine piazza, more pure than the marble under his feet, and more luxurious than the pillows under his head and body. He had gazed at him just as he was now, full of liquid heat and a gleam that told Yusuf with all but words how he wished to ravish him. He was unabashed under Yusuf’s brush, just miles of soft skin, and his long brown hair falling in his eyes.
Porn with feelings, Going Back To Malta, long-haired Nicky, hair-pulling, anal sex, anal fingering, tender and sweet loving Joe/Nicky | Explicit | 4,430 words What I Loved: Okay, so first and foremost, this is definitely just straight up porn. And it is legit my favorite kind - It's so full of love and care and the sheer dedication they show for each other makes this fic sing.  It's absolutely lyrical and poetic and so spot-on. There are so many moments that take my actual breath away, in so far as how this fic has been written and how much care is given to their love. I said, in my original review of this, that it's like the warmth of Malta infuses the whole fic. It is breath-taking. For all of these reasons and more, this is one of my favorite cheer-up fics. @aphroditestummyrolls is on Tumblr and has written other fics for The Old Guard.
War Games by AirGiodSLV
   “Speaking of keeping up,” Andy muses. “We need to start training you.”
   Training, Nile discovers, involves what Andy calls ‘retrieval missions’ and what Nile calls ‘capture the flag’.
Nile-Centric | Teen and up | Gen | 5367 words
Found family, team bonding
What I Loved: This fic fits in so perfectly with my headcanon that the team frequently plays games like capture the flag to learn how they fight together, especially once Nile joins. I love love love how Nile is exasperated but eager and how much fun the others have with her. This fic feels like a romp - Like, the most fun thing ever. It makes me want to play capture the flag and I suck at that game. This feels like a favorite movie, comforting and fun. AirGiodSLV is on AO3 and has written other fics for The Old Guard.
Artifacts by praycambrian
“When Andy does this, it is love,” Nicky says. “What you do is love also. Don’t stop, if you can help it.”
Ongoing collection of loosely connected snippets pre-, during, and post-canon.
Creator chose not to use archive warnings. Family, vignettes, ancient history, queer history, art history, food, music, love, immortality, families of choice, POV multiple.
Andy/Quynh, Nicky/Joe, Nile, and Booker | 3007; chapter length varies | General
What I loved: Hhhh what isn’t there to love! This author has a gorgeously poetic writing voice – every word deliberate, the diction impeccable, the writing style utterly lyrical and poignant and gorgeous. I can tell that the author has put so much research, time, care, and thought into every single one of these vignettes and I’m living for them! The historical and cultural elements included are so thoughtful, and the author includes links to learn more in the notes often. The author is on Tumblr as @praycambrian and has written other fic for The Old Guard!
Stalefish by Amiril
“Don’t look at it as a curse,” Joe had told her, a month earlier. “Think of it as an opportunity. What did you want to do that you were always too scared to try?”

Nile / Andy and Nile-centric | ~2000 words | Teen and up  
What I loved: Nile adjusting to being immortal, learning how to skateboard, and flirting with Andy! God it’s so good. This is just a really sweet fic, and I love the banter. I feel like this author did a really great job exploring Nile’s POV, and this remains one of my top fics for the pairing so far. The author is on Tumblr as @runawaymarbles and has written other fic for the Old Guard!
On Their Side by ViridianPanther
Pam Marks is surprised and delighted when four young (looking) people make a big purchase at her Help the Refugees charity shop in suburban England. The political winds and the recession are catching up with her. She’s glad to know there are people on her side.
outsider POV | found family | teen | <5k
What I loved: the team helping in other ways; a really good OC POV! This fic feels like a warm hug. The author is on tumblr as @viridianpanther!
Full Fathoms Deep by sixthlight
It started on the midnight to eight shift, sometime before three, the witching hour even by ship standards.
Quỳnh-centric | ~9300 words | Teen
What I loved: This is the “How Quỳnh left the ocean” missing scene fanfic that I haven’t stopped thinking about since I read it. Quỳnh’s experience as a traumatized woman is treated with such care and respect, and I am utterly in love with the POV of the outsider through whom we engage with this story. It’s a love letter to marine science, an exploration of deep care and compassion making a difference when it’s needed most, and has moments that are deeply funny. The author is on Tumblr as @sixth-light and has written other fanfic for the Old Guard!
Stay safe, take care, and we hope these can help if you need them.

okay so its 2am right now and I just thought of something really cute hhhh, so basically, how would kaminari, kirishima, todoroki and bakugou react to finding ship art or something of them and their crush?? I love your writing btw, it's so awesome 💕💕
super long wait, i know. half of this was written when bnha was still my hyperfixation, hence why it's one shots. the headcanons were written now, because i felt bad leaving out denki and eijirou. -cherry
katsuki bakugō:
it was just after nine in the afternoon. katsuki had already gone to sleep as per usual, though tonight he was rudely interrupted by loud knocking on his room's door.
"the hell do you want, loser?!", he shouted, still unsure of who was even at his door. everyone knew by now not to disturb him, so who dared to do so anyways?
getting out of bed and proceeding to open the door, the ash blond was slightly less angered when he saw eijirou standing there. said red head looked frantic because of something. bakugou honestly didn't even want to know what had got him so distraught, but he knew he wouldn't get his well deserved sleep otherwise,
"spit it out, shitty hair."
"we were looking at pictures from the sports festival online and we found something that you should maybe see for yourself!", eijirou started, realizing that he wasn't getting his friend's attention, so he added, "it's about you and (y/n)!"
kirishima was the only one that knew about bakugou's secret crush on you. that's why he wasn't laughing like everyone else in the common room; because what they found may cause complications.
after kirishima had mentioned your name, bakugou was swiftly jogging towards where almost all of his class was sitting gathered around a laptop, which seemed to be mina's, judging by all the leopardy and pink stickers on it.
"out of the way extras!", katsuki stomped over to see what all the fuss was about. from the corner of his eye he saw how you were cowering next to one of the couches, face covered by your hands. at first he couldn't understand why, but when he saw a particular piece of artwork displayed on the laptop screen, he figured you were just majorly embarrassed.
the art that his class found on google was from somebody's blog that was all about the 'heroes of the future!'. needless to say, the blog didn't only deal with the heroes, but also the relationships of them. ever since an encounter at the sports festival that a lot of people saw and shared around, you and bakugou had become a popular so called ship. (the girls explained that 'ship' didn't mean anything related to boats when they teased you about mentioned moment in front of him.)
katsuki couldn't help but feel embarrassed himself, but he also had to keep his cool to not seem suspicious. looking at the drawing of you and him one more time, the ash blond walked over to you, ignoring anything his class was saying.
"(y/n), you ok?", he crouched down to your level, poking your head once. his only response was a quiet hum, followed by a hiccup. worried, katsuki grabbed your hand tightly and pulled you outside the dorm.
the air was nice, not too hot, nor too cold. a light wind was blowing as the moon shone brightly.
bakugou gave you a little space and some time to calm down. when you did, he was quick to ask,
"what's the matter? did you get THAT embarrassed by it?"
you shook your head no. it was something more, but was this the right time to tell him?
"i was really embarrassed at first.", you started, "but then i thought about something and cried."
"about what?", the usually loud boy asked softly. silence was all he got for a good minute until you finally responded,
"you know how they say 'life imitates art'? i really wish it w-was like that..."
now you were the one getting silence as a response. did you really just say that?
"idiot, being all cryptic and shit.", katsuki tried to stay calm, even if he was freaking out on the inside, "if you want a kiss you can have it."
shōto todoroki:
mr. aizawa's classes had a pretty strict schedule most of the time: first the class would get an assignment, that they'd do until said teacher falls asleep. after that, everyone would quietly - in order to not wake up aizawa - do anything they want, really.
for shouto this was more or less just plainly boring, as he was one of the few students that actually did what they had to. he'd finish his work and then wait, because he had nothing else to do. he was most likely to bother midoriya, but today he was very into whatever he was writing down in his little book. so shouto settled for observing the classmates behaviour. well, rather your behaviour.
the half and half boy knew it was weird, but he liked watching you. he liked seeing you, especially when you were happy and smiling. todoroki knew what these 'symptoms' were, but he wanted everything to stay as it was for now.
why he had caught those feelings, he didn't know. he figured it was the way you stood out. you didn't get lost in between the others and he liked that.
while todoroki was deep in thought, ashido had walked over to your desk, where you were doing the assignment in peace and quiet,
"(y/n), look! the other's and i thought about how todoroki always stares at you so intensely, so we created these shipnames! which one do you like better?"
you looked at the paper or rather the newly created words and little pictures drawn by some of your classmates and immediately turned red. flailing your hands around a little, you lied,
"none of these, i don't...like todoroki in that way."
mina looked a tad upset at that, but she understood, nodded and walked back to her table. you sort of felt bad, having killed her excitement, but you didn't need anyone knowing about your secret crush on the stoic one.
speaking of the stoic one, he couldn't hear anything you and mina had talked about. he only saw her walking over, showing you something and you freaking out and sending her away. needless to say, he was curious what had caught you off guard so much. when shouto saw mina throwing away that suspicious piece of paper, he decided to look at it when class ended. even if he thought sticking his hand in the trash was a little gross.
the end of class came sooner than expected. shouto was packing his bag slower than usual, waiting until everyone had left. after they did, he skipped over to the trash can, pulling out the latest addition: a piece of paper that embarrassed (y/n)!
he stuffed it in his bag and carried on walking to his dorm room, where he finally felt safe looking at it, " 'ship names'? why would they want to name a boat after (y/n) and i?", he asked himself, before a certain doodle on the page explained your reaction and the girls' name-mixing. even shouto couldn't help but react in some way, thinking about said doodle happening in real life. that's when he got startled by a knock on his door.
"hey, todoroki. i know you always do your work in class, so i thought i'd come and ask you about...", you drifted off, seeing the light blush on his cheeks and his fire side burning, "...umm, am i interrupting something?"
he was hiding a piece of paper behind his back. you could see just the corner of it, but that was enough for you to identify what paper it was.
"didn't take you for the nosey type.", you akwardly laughed in order to drown out your embarrassment.
"sorry, i got curious.", he looked unusually upset, averting his heterochromatic eyes and letting his arms drop on his sides. you confirmed the paper was indeed the one that mina showed you earlier.
"did you dislike it a lot?", shouto asked without thinking.
now it was your turn to blush.
denki kaminari:
-ok hear me out
-his love language has to be physical touch
-so naturally, when you guys and the rest of the bakusquad had a sleepover, you cuddled
-platonically of course (even though both of you had feelings for one another, but shh)
-oh, but mina couldn't let this one slip
-she HAD to take a picture
-in the morning, when you were still only half awake, mina ecstatically showed her phone into your face
-"LOOK, (Y/N), YOU GUYS ARE THE CUTEST!"
-queue embarrassed (y/n) and denki
eijirō kirishima:
-i feel like with him, you had been like childhood friends
-and back in the day, you guys were all like
-"i'm gonna marry you when i'm older!"
-so you engraved a little "eijirō & (y/n)" into a tree
-years and years later you guys go back to that spot
-just because you wanted to reminisce the good old days
-you guys find the carvings
-"you know, (y/n), i still haven't changed my mind."
-"what do you mean, eijirou?"
-"i'd still marry you."

Tangled Up - Chapter Two
oh, i’m gonna mess this up
Benrey’s spent 26 years living in a tower - 27, tomorrow. When a thief breaks into his tower, he finds his chance to escape and takes it.
Alternatively: Tangled, but the AI is self aware.
(featuring art by @kenas-artstuff​ )
Notes: check ao3 for warnings and tags! “kane radio” is just gordon using a fake name. fic title from “tangled up” by caro emerald, chapter title from “shots” by imagine dragons.
AO3 Link
It’s nice to be back at Black Mesa. Well, mostly nice. Gordon shuts the door behind Benrey only to immediately spot a wanted poster, the only thing making it unrecognizable a bizarre mullet. Do people seriously think he looks like that??
“Hey, Mr. Radio!” a voice calls from behind the counter. Kane rips the paper off the door, rushing across the room. 
“Hi Darnold it’s great to see you shut the fuck up please -”
And that’s when he gets grabbed from behind. He barely sees Darnold’s eyes widen before he’s spun around, now facing an absolute mountain of a man. Behind him, he hears Darnold slap something - his forehead, probably - and mutter a quiet. “oh, right.”
He loves Darnold, he really does. Being friends with someone since you were kids will do that. Right now, though, he kind of wants to throttle him.
“Kane Radio, hm?” the main holding him says, ripping the wanted poster out of his hands. The thief glances around awkwardly, his eyes finally falling onto Benrey struggling to pull his hair back into his possession. 
"H-hey, he'd appreciate his hair not being touched, guys!", Kane exclaimed, to help his partner as well as pull away from his attention. It works for a moment, as Benrey tugs the last strands of hair away and marches up to the guy holding Kane, unintimidated despite the height difference.
“Hey,” Benrey says quietly as he walks up next to the man. “Put him down? Please and thank you?”
Mountain man snorts. “Not likely. I need the reward money. Hey, you! Go get the guards!”
One of the other men nods, slipping out of the tavern as an argument breaks out. Kane is pushed and pulled, various thugs grabbing him and insisting they need the money, they deserve it most, as the bar descends into chaos.
A loud, meaty thwack! breaks up the argument. Kane’s dropped on his ass, and when he looks up, Benrey has his crowbar against Mountain man’s arm. “I said put him down.”
Kane rolls off to the side, dodging another man’s grabbing hands, and stands up so he can dart back over to Benrey and push him out of the way. “Hey, appreciate that, don’t get me wrong, but - Benrey, what the fuck?”
Behind the counter Darnold is glaring, grabbing a cup and a spoon to try and get everyone’s attention. Black Mesa housed a fighting ring once upon a time, but that got stopped when Darnold took over. It doesn’t matter now - even with Darnold yelling, everyone’s too riled up. Kane has to duck down to avoid a punch, only to immediately get kicked in the face. A hand grabs his arm and he swings instinctively, stopping at the last second when he realizes it’s just Benrey, pulling him off to the side.
“What the fuck,” Kane repeats.
“Being polite didn’t work,” is Benrey’s only explanation.
Darnold is still yelling, trying desperately to get some sense of calm as the crowd beats the shit out of each other. And then - just as quick as it started, it’s over. Screams dissolve into laughter as the assembled patrons dust themselves off, seemingly satisfied with the amount of violence they've had. 
"It's been too long since we've had a fight like that," Mountain man says. "Nice job."
Tumblr media
Benrey blinks up at him. "Whuh?"
Gordon agrees with him. Wiping blood from his nose, he mutters a quiet “What?” as well.
“Should’ve been longer,” Darnold complains. “You know I hate this kind of behavior! I have half a mind to throw you all out.”
"We'll clean it up, Danny, don't worry,” another, very skinny guy cheerfully responds, followed by a roar of laughter.
“Darnold,” the bartender corrects sharply as he sets to cleaning the place up, picking up overturned chairs and mopping up spills and sweeping up broken glass. 
Turning back to Mountain man, Kane asks, "Just to be clear. Does this mean you won't tear me and my friend apart anymore?"
“Are you kidding? That’s the most fun I’ve had in years! Darnold never lets us do stuff like that. Real shame, considering how this place st -“
He’s cut off by someone slamming the door open. “I brought the guards!”
Apparently ten seconds of peace is the max he’s allowed. “Shit shit shit,” Kane wheezes, grabbing Benrey’s arm as Darnold directs them behind the door. The massive dog from earlier, the one who had chased him through the forest and up Benrey’s tower, is here. And it’s pissed. Kane’s heart drops as he watches it sniff around, following the trail of his footsteps.
Darnold pulls on a lever, revealing a ramp down into a stone tunnel. “You’re lucky you’re my friend,” he says as he ushers them through it. Benrey hesitates, but Kane pulls him through anyway, into some kind of cave system. The walls are dark stone, rough and natural. This is something old, and hopefully, it’ll cover them. 
He exhales slowly, adrenaline still rushing through him. “Shit,” he mutters again. “That was close.”
“Who were those guys?” Benrey asks. The raccoon on his shoulder chirps.
“Guards. Royal guards. They, uh….they don’t like me much.”
“You stole something?” 
“Big something.”
Benrey nods, apparently satisfied with the answer. The raccoon chirps again, and Benrey mumbles something in response to it. Because his day is just going so normally, he needs to listen to his weird...escort mission talk to his fucking raccoon as they run from guards.
Metal clanks behind them, and Kane picks up the pace, until he’s running down the tunnel. It opens into a cliffside, with no way down. “Fuck!”
“There’s a guy down there,” Benrey points out, and Kane bites back another string of curses when he realizes it’s fucking Forzen. He’d abandoned him after stealing the royal helmet. Betrayal’s nothing new between them, but this is recent enough that Forzen’s probably still pissed.
“That’s Forzen. He doesn’t like me much either.”
It’s then that the guards burst out of the tunnel and several things happen all at once. Benrey shoves his crowbar at Kane, and before he can question why Benrey is giving him his only weapon, he’s tossing his hair across the canyon like a grappling hook and running off the ledge.
Before he can even ask why Benrey would possibly give him his only weapon, he watches in horror as his partner takes flight. He doesn’t have time to check if Benrey’s alright - the guards are on his ass. The crowbar makes a satisfying thwack! as he swings it, taking down the guards in barely an instant. “Fuck, this is handy. Need to get me one of these!” Kane comments to himself, looking to see who’s left. One opponent remains - the dog, who is now holding a sword.
Because his day just cannot get any fucking weirder.
“You should know this is the weirdest thing I have ever fucking done!” Kane yells to Benrey, as he battles the dog, sword to crowbar, until the dog knocks it right out of his hands and down the cliff. “Two out of three?”
A lock of black hair wraps around his hand. Kane grins, giving the dog a salute as he’s pulled into a free fall. “Ha! Get fuc - hhhh.” His words dissolve into a wheeze, as his trajectory slams him into an exposed beam, knocking the wind out of him.
Kane, struggling to get a grip of himself, only just manages to hold on to Benrey while he swings down with his support. His feet connect with the water pipes, sliding down unsteadily as they collapse underneath him, and then the entire dam breaks. It happens in a flash, an enormous amount of water - it feels like the whole ocean when Kane glances back - pouring down into the valley. Rocks fall, the last of the wooden constructions collapsing. With a couple of leaps, Kane reaches an already running Benrey, and scoops up the last bit of his hair flailing behind him. "Benrey! Benrey, into the cave!" he shouts, hoping the other would get understand the general direction they have to run.
---
Benrey grabs the crowbar as he darts after Kane, barely avoiding getting crushed by the massive rock that comes crashing down and seals them into the cave. The walls are stone, not like the bricks of his tower but a random arrangement of rocks and boulders forming a lumpy wall. There’s a puddle of water on the floor, only as he looks it starts to grow, up over Benrey’s feet, his legs, creeping higher and higher. He looks around the cave frantically, spotting the trickles of water coming in past the rock that sealed them in. The only obvious opening, but the water is like another force behind it, pressing it shut like Benrey used to try and hold his door shut. The rock is stronger than him. No matter how hard he slams with his crowbar, there’s not even a dent. He turns his attention to the rest of the cave, alternately smashing and prying at the walls, but they hold firm. There’s nothing. Not a single loose rock, nothing resembling a weak point, not even a crack he can widen into an exit. 
The water’s at his waist now. His breathing sharpens, small panicked inhales as he realizes there’s no way out. They’re trapped, with water climbing higher and higher. The water is murky, making the already dim space feel smaller and darker with each second. 
Zeki was right. Kane’s gonna die here with him in this stupid fucking cave, all because Benrey wanted to see some lights.
“This is all my fault,” he mumbles, tugging on a strand of hair. “I never should’ve - she was right, this whole time, I just -“ 
Kane’s hands grip his shoulders, firm but gentle, forcing him to look at the thief’s face. "Benrey, don't blame yourself. Sometimes things go bad...that's how life works. It's - it's gonna be ok." In a different context it might be comforting. Right now, they’re about to die, and Kane’s voice is shaking.
Benrey’s voice is choked when he responds. “I’m sorry, Kane.”
"Gordon.” Benrey tilts his head, and Kane drops his hands from his shoulders with a sigh. “It's - my real name is Gordon Freeman. I made up Kane. You might as well know it now."
Tumblr media
“Feetman?” Benrey asks with a shaky smile.
“If we weren’t trapped in a cave I’d hit you with your crowbar,” Kane - Gordon? - Gordon says. For the briefest of seconds, he smiles at Benrey. 
“I, uh. I have magic hair that glows when I sing,” he says. Keeping a secret doesn’t matter when they’re both about to die. Gordon furrows his brows, looking questioningly at Benrey, and a sudden burst of inspiration hits as he repeats himself. “I have - oh shit!” He starts singing, voice shakier than normal as he races through the song. “Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine -“ The water is still rising, and maybe it’s his imagination but it feels even faster. “Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine -”
The last line gets cut off as the water fills the cave completely. He’s never tried singing underwater before, and for a moment he’s terrified it won’t work - and then his hair lights up, a bright neon teal, illuminating the cave. Gordon swims down to the bottom, pushing aside rocks desperately. He finds one that’s loose enough, dislodging it, and the rest follow suit. The wall starts to crumble before collapsing completely, launching the two of them into a river, the current quickly sweeping them downstream and onto a grassy bank. 
Benrey drags himself out, flopping limply onto the grass, taking deep breaths as he stares up at the sky. “We’re alive,” he breathes, looking over at Gordon. He likes that name better, now that he has a spare moment to think about it. Laughter bubbles up out of him, along with bright yellow-green. Olive means I’m glad to be alive.
Beside him, Gordon is less chill, elbows on the grass and hands in his hair. “His hair glows,” he’s mumbling. “He - hhh - his hair? Glowing - glowy shit - people don’t glow!” From there his words just get more and more incoherent as he stares at the ground.
With a huff, Benrey stands up, starting to squeeze the water out of his hair. Jefferem shakes himself dry, splashing water onto Gordon. “You good?” Benrey asks.
“Am I - are you good?? What the fuck was that? How long have you been - ow, fuck -” He pulls his right hand close to himself, and when he holds it out again Benrey sees blood, bright red against the brown skin. He must’ve cut himself on a rock or something. 
Benrey offers a hand to help Gordon get up, so he doesn’t put pressure on the injured one. “Lets, uh. Find somewhere to dry off first and then we can play 20 questions?” Or, maybe, if he stalls long enough, Gordon will forget whatever he wants to ask and Benrey can keep pretending like he’s a person.

Honestly I'm in a lot (ALOT) of feels rn and need to reinvent the world and we're starting with...
Killer and Healer.
The show was amazing and a piece of art let's get clear on that.
Although, some really important things need to be changed. Let's starto
1: the seven episodes of absolute horror, I, and so many poor souls have sat through even though as someone here smartly said, we already know Chen is the one for Yuelou, like, canon. It's litteraly. Yeah so. The point of wanting to force miss journalist s little stupid crush on Yuelou is pointless and honestly just make people (me) start hating her.
2:. Chulan, Ryan, rulan churan wthvr
(jesus I even forgot her name lmao) she would have been an effective plus 10000000 character with a real development out of her cagey feeley for our nation's gayest police officer. Like she's independent and strong and needs no man. Develop her career and that shit??
3: the all Junbai- Yu relationship.
It was so shitty. No like not the psychotic (that was.. good? Interesting?)but the writing. You had strong characters and alot of work to do with them. There were so many things in that roomates situation with issues and soon to be broken trust to do , their entiere relationship could've been totally different and far more deep and soul baring and hhhh. Yeah .
4: boss yu s death.
Pointless. Stupid. For a strong and clever character, that's downright insulting. He deserved better.
5: junbai and his uncle.
We clearly see how they both bark for power over the other and how junbai just backs off when it starts to be clear as day. Should have worked on that, could've lead to many great turning of power things, strategies, taking over fam business entierly, and shooting the old bastard in the skull by yu: bc could make a collab with Yu (ending in Hey my uncle killed your fam sorry baby :/. A lie yes but hey. The angsty ff we could read off of that afterwards)
Plus junbais a man for greatness. Even if his death is somehow poetic it still sucks ass.
6: Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi.
They canon let them be happy. They are endgame. The flavor is immaculate let THEM BE A HAPPY FAMILY WITH KEYING, YUELOU WITH ANGER ISSUES AND A MENTALLY SCARRED LILL GIRL MAKES NO SENSE. OH YEAH RIGHT THERES STILL THE CAT, WE RE SAVED.
the ending made no sense
In conclusion, this show to be perfect would have needed the balls of the Untamed and Word of Honour writers, way more episodes (like 20 more or smth like that), a real work on character development, mostly because seeing the relationships and characters in themselves there is somuch u can do like the potential is amazing you can have SM fun doing smth great with that.
So what the actual frick frack snick snack hell of a bitch, writers?
Missed opportunity, really good show still, but flawed heavily, writers you suck ass a bit much and I'm out.
(Still very much bitter and endlessly jealous of the people in the timeline where the show had gone with the adjustments listed up. I wanna go in your timeline guys. Come get me. I'll, I'll cry for you? If that's a thing?)

‘draw me like one of your french girls’ but like buckys the french girl hhhh
Hmm... Painter!Avenger!Reader x Bucky?
A/n: this was written after i had taken a LOT OF meds since i have a cold, bear with me.
Tumblr media
Maybe painting was your favorite hobby
Always being away on missions with the team, and always fighting bad guys could take a toll on you sometimes
But then your paint brushes and pencils were your best friends
Painting calmed you down
And lately, you've been pretty into drawing human figures
And at the moment, you needed an art model, but it was weird to just ask anyone 'hey, get naked i wanna draw you'
So you turn to the only one who could help you out
Bucky
Yours and Bucky's relationship's nature was unclear - you two weren't just friends but you weren't seriously dating either
So you asked him, one chill afternoon if he'd wanna be your art model
You could by the look on his face that he was pleasantly intrigued
"So you want me to sit there naked, so you can draw me, naked?" he'd smirk.
You sigh
"It's for my new piece, I won't show it to anyone. Besides, you naked isn't something i haven't seen before." you try to convince him
He gives in
He's freaking hot and he knows it, besides, maybe he could tease you throughout
So he comes over to your room in nothing but a bathrobe.
You smile at you know how dramatic he can be.
He gets out of the robe and lays down on the couch with a smirk
"Come on doll, draw me like one of your French girls." he sighs dramatically and smirks, shamelessly.
You roll your eyes at him and focus on your canvas
Or at least try to, but he keeps talking
"Ahh putain mais enfin tais toi espèce de con." you mumble under your breath and it causes Bucky to narrow his eyes at you.
"See now, that was hot. But I'm sure you just s-"
You cut him off
"Buck. Shut up, and don't move."
He mumbles something under his breath as well and you quietly chuckle from behind the canvas.
"I still don't see why you couldn't have drawn me from memory or something. Or maybe this was just an excuse for you to take advantage of me."
"Bucky." you simply say, as a warning for him to keep quiet.
He does, but not for long.
"Is this some new fetish? I swear, things were much simpler back then in my-
You sigh, and peak from behind the canvas.
"Buck?"
"Yes, doll?"
"Shut the fuck up."
Maybe throughout, you wouldn't lie, you did eye him for a little longer than needed each time
How could you not? He was perfect. And he was just lying there... Looking like a Greek God.
You had to force yourself to focus
And sometime later, Bucky heard you muttering swear words under your breath behind the canvas
"What's wrong?"
You groan. "Drawing your c- i mean, drawing male private parts are hard."
He smirks
"Oh well, that's not the only thing that's hard right now."
And you can just hear it, the shameless desire in his voice
And you peak from behind the canvas and you hide again, blushing only a little
You hear him chuckle to himself
"Come on now, leave the drawing and come here. I'll take care of you." he suggests, and he knows he's hard to resist anyways
But you don't give in easily
"Think I'll pass. Now stay still." you try your hardest to focus on your canvas but each time you look at him, and that damn smirk on his face - it makes it difficult for you to focus.
"All you have to do is stop, get up and walk over here, babygirl. I'm right here, waiting."
"shut up"
You were starting to get frustrated.
And Bucky was enjoying every single moment.
"Sure you don't want me to just push my face in between your l-
"Bucky i swear to God,"
He laughs at your helplessness
"Oh drop the act baby, come here." he sounds inviting and irresistible.
And you eventually give in.
You walk up to him and get on his lap with a slight pout.
"You're annoying." you gently slide your hand into his hair and lean in close to his lips, his nudity didn't bother you at all.
He'd chuckle and pull you closer.
"I know you're tired, just let me take care of you, doll."
You let him. Easily.
He'd get rid of your clothes in less than a minute
Bucky would be eager, so maybe he wouldn't even bother carrying you to your bed, he'd just get on with it right there on the couch.
He'd definitely tease you with his tongue, and his metal fingers all together
He'd make you cum all over his tongue.
And he'd be cocky enough to tell you that he loves the way you taste.
He'd kiss every inch of your skin; whispering to tell you how good you look, naked under him.
"My personal little play thing, aren't you?"
You'd nod, whimpering
OKAY but he'd definitely wrap his metal fingers around your throat, because he knows how much you like it.
You'd whimper and whine for him to touch you, but he liked pushing your limits and teasing you.
"Beg."
And you'd obey, easily.
He liked taking his time on you, and watching you lose your mind under him
He'd bring you to the edge each time, messing with you using his fingers or the tip of his cock - but never really giving you what you desperately wanted.
"Such a good girl, taking whatever i give you." he'd whisper in your ear, while his fingers gently circled your throbbing clit.
He liked the way you trembled each time he praised you in bed. He liked the effect his touch and his words had on you.
You'd be a whining mess by the time he decides that he finally wants to fuck you properly.
Maybe Bucky makes you ride him, while he sits back and does nothing.
"What, is that the best you can do?" he'd taunt, pushing his two fingers into your mouth while he watches you struggle to take him in entirely. "Come on babygirl."
Or maybe he'd flip the two of you around, push your face down on the couch and lift your hips up and pound into your from behind.
I bet Bucky's freaky enough to alternate between fucking you with his cock, and pulling out and tease you with his tongue for a moment before pushing his cock back in you
And repeat
Until you're screaming his name
Or whimpering pathetically, telling him to go faster
Perhaps he'd stop each time you get loud, he'd slowly pull out and watch you squirm and cry and beg hin to fuck you again.
He'd chuckle to himself, trailing a finger up and down your wet folds, making you beg even more
please... please... please
"Always so needy for me, aren't you?" he'd point out, lifting his fingers off you and licking them clean.
He knew he was making you lose your mind.
"Come here, kitten. Daddy's gonna take care of you."
He'd lay you down on the couch and give it to you good finally
He wouldn't stop or slow down until you're physically shaking. "Such a good girl."
And needless to say, he'd help you get your mind off things and relax better than drawing and painting ever could.

Adeleine kittysitting Shiver Star Test Tube Cat
@kirbyofthestars RENA COME GET YOUR JUICE!!!!!!! /lh
~~~{+}~~~
Its a peaceful morning in Cloudy Park. The birds chirped outside, their songs carried on the spring breeze. Past a large village sat a small house, right next to the nearby forest. It’s a quaint little house, a cottage tucked away from the world. The exterior is a soft cream color, warmed by the early morning sun. Underneath a small overhang from the roof sit 2 mechanical beings: a wheelie scooter and an inactive Robobot Armor. Both look to be sleeping soundly and recharging their batteries.
Inside the house sit countless potted plants, all wildly different from one another. In one pot, a mischievous, overgrown clove plant. In another, a silent lotus sits upon the surface of its watery home. All seem to be alive, moving as if they had just woken up from a good nights sleep. From nearby, a creak can be heard as something climbs the stairs that lead to the second floor of the house.
At the end of the upstairs hallway is a large bedroom, messy in nature. Clothes scattered across the floor in a haphazard fashion. A few paint splotches line the carpet, and a few more along the walls. Curiously, there’s also one on the ceiling. How it got there is a mystery. Around the room are more potted plants, most of which look to be fully awake. There’s a closet against the far wall, one of the doors left partway open, a small, Ripple Star fairy sized bedroom crammed inside, just as messy as the bedroom itself.
Against the other wall is a bed, a figure peacefully sleeping away beneath the sheets. The figure is none other than Adeleine, dressed in a lime green nightgown, her face hidden beneath the bedsheets. A window lies above the bed, light streaming down and onto the bed. Surrounding the bed are more potted plants. Some have flowers which begin to close, retreating as morning arrives, while others appear to be just waking up, leaning down over Adeleine to see if she’s awake yet. A small pitter of footsteps breaks the silence. Something hops up onto the bed, patiently waiting for Adeleine to wake up. Adeleine shifts, sleepily mumbling to herself as she wiggles partway out of the covers, still fast asleep. Her hair is matted and scruffy from sleep. She rolls onto her back, and the creature on the bed leans down to see if she’s awake...
*sniff sniff*
“Mrrp?” The creature paws at Adeleines cheek, earning a sleepy groan from her.
“Mmnnghh... 5 more minutes, Ribbon...” Adeleine pathetically swats in the direction of the creature, completely missing it.
*sniff... sniffsniff*
“Mrrrrrrpp?” The creature leans towards Adeleines exposed neck, curious.
*sniff sniff*
Adeleine sleepily giggles and snuggles partway under the covers, much to the creatures dismay. The creature paws at the sheets, pushing them aside with ease as Adeleine wiggles back to her original position. It leans in closer this time, the whiskers on its face brushing against her skin.
*sniff sniff sniff*
“Mmppheheh... stoppit...” Adeleine rolls onto her side, her back to the creature, a dreamy smile on her face. The creature looks visibly annoyed, ears turning back ever so slightly. It doesn’t appear angry in the slightest, merely fed up with the lack of progress it’s made. It licks its paw and cleans its face for a brief moment before stepping forwards, crouching down to reach Adeleine.
*sniff... sniffsniffsniffsniffsniff*
“Mrrrrrraaaaow?” A much louder sound escapes the creature, and no response is given. Fed up with the lack of progress, the creature decides to take matters into its own soft little paws, leaning down towards Adeleines exposed neck once again and giving one final warning sniff...
*lick lick lick*
*nuzzle* *rub*
“MmphhHHEEEKK—!!” Adeleine jolts at the sudden coldness and slightly rough feeling against her neck, quickly dissolving into slightly sleepy giggles as the cold and roughness turns to an incredibly soft sensation against a horribly sensitive spot. She squirms, attempting to curl up to protect herself.
“Ohohokay! I-I’m up I’m up Ihihihi’m uhuhuhup!!” She quickly pulls the sheets up, guarding her neck, taking a second to compose herself. She then pulls the covers down slightly and looks right at one of the plants near her bed, giving it a slightly annoyed stare. The plant recoils in a way that says “wasn’t me!” A paw pats her cheek and she rolls over to find a cat sitting just a few inches from her.
“Oh! Test Tube! Were you the one who woke me up?”
“Mrrp!!” Test Tube rubs her face against Adeleines cheek in response, earning some head scritches.
“You little stinker! You could’ve pawed at my face and I would’ve woken up!” Test Tube simply rubs against her again, turning around and climbing into her lap as she sits up.
“Hey, now that I think about it, wasn’t Kirby watching you? How come you’re here and he’s not...” She looked to the closet, which was open.
“Where’s Ribbon? Did she pick you up from Kirbys house or something?” Test Tube’s ears went up and she hopped down onto the floor, standing at the doorway to the bedroom.
“Mrraaow!!!” Adeleine walked over, watching as Test Tube ran around her legs before running downstairs, zipping around the corner towards the living room. Adeleine chuckled, walking downstairs to quite the sight. Test Tube came back over and dropped an envelope at her feet.
“Uh, what’s this?”
“Brrff” Adeleine picked up the envelope, opening it and reading over the contents of the letter inside.
“Adeleine, I’ve been invited to Patchland for a celebration of guardian deities that protect each land. I have to leave early and I won’t be home by the time you wake up. Kirbys coming with, too, and I need someone to watch Test Tube. Since she technically lives here, I thought you could watch her for the day! I’ll be back before bedtime (I hope)! See you soon, Ribbon.” She folded the letter back into the envelope and set it on the small coffee table in the center of the living room.
“Looks like you’re spending the day with me, Test Tube!”
“Mrraaaooww!!!!!!” Test Tube stretched, opening her mouth to yawn. Adeleine could faintly make out the frighteningly sharp fangs in her mouth. That weird eye on her tail opened up briefly, closing as fast as it had opened.
“I keep forgetting you’re a mutant kitty, and I mean that in the nicest way possible.” Test Tube merely rubbed against her leg, looking up at her expectantly.
“I bet you’re hungry, huh?”
“Mra-a-a-aaaoww!!” A meow and yawn escaped Test Tube as she stretched again.
“Alright, I’ll give you a snackie, but let me feed the plants first. They’ll get incredibly fussy if I don’t.”
“Mrrp!!!” The two of them walked to the kitchen and Adeleine fished out a pitcher from one of the cabinets, filling it with water.
“Alright everyone, wake up!! I’ve got breakfast!”
~~~{+}~~~
“Test Tube, please stop trying to eat the clove. I don’t know if it’s bad for you or not and I’d rather not take my chances and find out.” The clove plant Adeleine was watering crept down and lifted Test Tube up, setting her down away from its pot. When Adeleine finished watering it, the clove gave her a little pat on the head before retracting to a normal position.
“Ok Test Tube, let’s get you some crunchies.” Test Tube practically shot to the cabinet, watching as Adeleine casually walked over.
“Mrraaoww!!!”
“Meeooww!!! I know!!! It’s time for crunchies!!!” Adeleine opened the cabinet and grabbed the cup inside the crunchy bag, scooping up a cupful and walking over to Test Tubes food bowls, nearly getting tripped by the eager kitty along the way.
“Ok, here you go!” She dumped the contents of the cup into one of the bowls, which had a few crunchies remaining in it already. Test Tube stuck her head in and chowed down without hesitation. Adeleine put the cup back in the bag, closed it up, and put it away, she grabbed a couple teabags, started heating water in her old teakettle, and grabbed herself some breakfast while she waited.
“Brff” Adeleine looked down to find Test Tube once again at her feet, looking up at her expectantly.
“I already gave you crunchies. You don’t get any more until dinner, ok?”
“Mraaaa!!” Adeleine peered over to the near empty bowl of crunchies.
“Maybe you shouldn’t have eaten them all at once then!” She was met with a particularly strong headbutt from Test Tube. She gave her a pet and grabbed a cinnamon roll out of the fridge, setting it on the table as she walked to get her tea ready. She could see Test Tube ready to jump onto the counter, backing up a little to get a better position.
“Test Tube. Soft kitty soft. Give me a second so I can get my tea! I’ll give you some pets in a second!” Test Tube sat down, watching as Adeleine dropped a teabag or two into her cup, pushing them down with a spoon before setting them on the table behind her. She sat down and Test Tube followed her, looking up at her.
“Alright, c’mon.” She patted her leg and Test Tube hopped up, climbing up to look over her shoulder. Adeleine leaned back in her chair, careful to not crush any paws, taking a bite of her cinnamon roll.
“What do you say we make some art later, Test Tube?”
“Mrraow!!!” Adeleine smiled and took another bite of her cinnamon roll.
Today’s going to be fun, I can just feel it!
~~~{+}~~~
“Ok, so this is your canvas. I’m gonna stick your paws in non toxic paint and then you can walk on the canvas to your hearts content! Just... don’t roll on it or lick the paint off.”
“Mrrp.” Adeleine carefully picked up Test Tube and very very gently dipped the bottoms of her front paws in paint, then set her down on the canvas. Test Tube looked utterly confused before she realized she had stuff on her feet, hurriedly walking on the canvas before absolutely zooming to the other side of the room, leaving paw prints on the floor. She came running back over, using Adeleine as a stepping stone, another set of little paw prints left in her wake, a few of which were left on Adeleines painting smock.
“MRRP!!!!!!!” Test Tube excitedly ran past again, her tail all puffed up from the excitement. Adeleine giggled, watching as Test Tube practically flew around the room, finally stopping near the canvas. Adeleine took this moment to pick her up, placing her in her lap so she could attempt to wipe the paint off her paws. Test Tube, still brimming with excited energy, very quickly tried to roll out of Adeleines lap, failing when Adeleine gently grabbed ahold of one of her paws to clean it.
“Oh, sit still! I don’t want you licking any of this off! Sure, it’s non-toxic, but I’m not taking any chances!”
“Mrraaowww!!!!!!!”
~~~{+}~~~
Adeleine walked up the stairs and towards her room. She was tired, having spent a bunch of time painting one of the commissions she was given. She was fairly sure her headache was just from exhaustion, maybe dehydration. That, or the fact that she forgot to open the windows for a couple hours while working with oil paints. Thankfully Test Tube had decided she was too boring to hang around and went upstairs. Adeleine really didn’t want her breathing that crap in.
“Test Tube? Are you up here?”
“Mrp?” Adeleine looked around, trying to figure out where the chirp from Test Tube came from. She peeked into the bathroom, only to find Test Tube sprawled out on the floor.
“Hiiii!!!!!”
“Mrrrrrp!!” Test Tube did a little scoot, her front paws tucked in a little. Adeleine knelt down, letting her sniff her hand.
“Can I give the soft kitty some pats?” She gave Test Tube a few pets before switching to patting Test Tubes hip, which resulted in immediate purring.
“Are you my soft kitty? Huh? Are you?” Adeleine chuckled to herself at how high she managed to get her voice to go. Her delight quickly changed to gasps of pure joy as Test Tube proceeded to start rolling on the floor.
“Rolly kitty!!!!!!! Oh, rolly kitty!!!!!!” Adeleine gently pet Test Tubes exposed stomach, relishing in how delightfully soft it was.
“Mrrrp!” Test Tube quickly got up, fiercely but lovingly headbutting Adeleines leg.
“Are you a happy kitty, huh?”
“Mrraow!!!” Test Tube lovingly headbutted her again, giving her head a little shake, her ears clapping together with a weird smack. Adeleine picked her up and gave her a couple smooches before setting her back down and heading off to her room to change into something more comfortable.
~~~{+}~~~
“Ugh, there’s never anything good on...” Adeleine flipped through channels with the remote, laying lazily on the couch. Test Tube had gotten her dinner with a cupful of crunchies, and Adeleine had made an effort to eat something, despite not being very hungry (thanks to an incredibly late lunch), with said something being a small fruit salad. A blanket was draped over the lower half of her, pulled up right to her ribs. She settled on a nature documentary, since it was one of the only decent things on. She laid back, staring up at the ceiling for a moment before something soft gently patted her arm.
“Mrrrp?” Adeleine slowly peeked over the side of the couch, only to find Test Tube patiently sitting on the floor.
“You can come up!” Her tone was cheery, but the exhaustion was very noticeable, forcing her voice to a much quieter volume. Test Tubes ears perked up a little. She rocked back and forth for a moment while she prepared to jump, and then hopped up onto the couch. She took a second to scope for a good spot to sit, opting for somewhere on Adeleine, and promptly sat down on her stomach, tucking her paws in so she looked like a little loaf. Adeleine could hear the faint rumble of a purr coming from Test Tube, letting out a sigh.
“Ribbon should be back soon...” Adeleine felt her eyelids growing increasingly heavier. It was becoming a chore just to stay awake. The combination of pure exhaustion from painting for so long and the relaxing sound of Test Tube purring made the urge to sleep harder to fight. She glanced up at the clock on the wall, then at Test Tube.
“I suppose a quick nap wouldn’t hurt... and besides... *yawn* Ribbon won’t be home for a while anyway... I’m sure she won’t mind...” Adeleine let her eyelids shut, the world slowly being drowned out as sleep took hold...
~~~{+}~~~
The door to the house creaked open, and in fluttered Ribbon, holding a multitude of bags decorated with beads. She immediately noticed how dark it was, the only light being from the plants scattered around the house.
“Addie! I’m home!” No response.
“That’s weird... usually she answers right away...” Ribbon quietly closed the door, listening intently. She couldn’t hear anything from the studio down the hall, so clearly Adeleine wasn’t in there, not to mention the lights weren’t on in there either. She didn’t hear any creaks from upstairs, so she most likely wasn’t up there either. Ribbon looked to her right, noticing that the TV was on, the light faintly illuminating the couch.
Why in the world is the TV still on? Did Addie forget to turn it off or-
Ribbon fluttered into the living room and, upon closer inspection, realized that Adeleine was laying on the couch, sound asleep. She had a blanket on, which had been pulled up over her shoulders, and a pillow taken from upstairs had been placed behind her head, both of which Ribbon suspected weren’t like that before. Upon Adeleines chest sat Test Tube, purring away. Ribbon smiled at the sight, silently fluttering over and leaving a few of the bags in her hand next to Adeleine. She glanced at the clock, shaking her head.
It’s past 11. No way I’m going to be able to haul her upstairs like this without her waking up. She does look awfully comfy though. I don’t think she’d mind spending the night down here...
Ribbon nodded to herself, taking the remote and turning off the TV, resting it on the coffee table in the center of the room before fluttering towards the stairs.
“Sleep tight, Addie. Thanks for watching Test Tube for me. I’ll see you in the morning, good night!”
