#it got buried so fast XD

[luimagines]

Okay, it's almost 4 am and the creative juices are running high!

Imagine right! The chain land in wild's Era and he's just excited, because they're near hateno and he can introduce some people that he knows to the chain. Of course the chain get curious about the building on the hill and while running towards it also the beach.

After spending some time on the beach and the chain meeting Purah, purah asks wild if he has introduced them to zelda and scolds him when he says he hadn't yet (not his fault for once).

This let wild to finally be able to herd the group to his home (which he brags about that he bought it and renovated it himself). Before he can open the door the chain hears a little laugh behind it.

The door opens to reveal an old lady who is really happy to see wild, but also playfully scolds him for making her wait so long to be introduced to the group. That's when wild does finally introduce her. She's Zelda. The calamity hasn't been kind to her and it sucked out almost all her magic that it made her unable to get her age reversed. She's living her best life though.

Zelda and wild are still really close with each other and openly joke that they're the same age.

Though for the chain it finally, really struck what a tragedy wild's adventure was.

OOOOOooo!!!!

While I fully bet they're the same age and they make light of it all the time, how much are you willing to get that Zelda uses a bunch of older saying on Wild that he has no control over?

"When I was your age-"

"You'll understand when you're older."

"Respect your elders, young man!"

"Age before beauty, sir."

And over all poking (gentle) fun over how young he looks because baby face. <3

#pinky replies #oof #sorry this took a while #it got buried so fast XD #love this idea #even if it's supposed to be a bit angsty

DCXDP prompt

Ok, so there's plenty of Danny laying low or freaking out about the no meta rule, but I have this CRAVING of someone for once just explaining it to him? Like whoever bird or birds he's talking to just leans in and whispers "Wanna know a secret? That's mostly just a mind control precaution. I mean would you want to see Supes jacked up on fear gas? If the league do come over he prefers to be called first so he's close if something happens."   

Danny- "Oh... yeah that makes sense actually, that shit isn't fun to be under.."

"Wait is THAT why you have that string of robberies on your record?!"

"That and the time my whole town got possessed in order to make me look bad and get arrested.."

The bird then drags Danny into the cave to open Bruce's file on him, and they both sit down and fill in the gaps on the shadier spots of his record. Heck Danny eventually gives Bats a few thermoses and other less harmful but still disabling device blueprints to add to the contingency file cause even if Dan is in therapy and on probation he knows his shit luck will probably make it needed sooner rather than later and he knows how fast it will go bad.

It comes in very handy at the next gala when Vlad attempts to have a duplicate overshadow Bruce who refuses to take his business propositions. Vlad gets nosey before Danny pulls up his king rights and makes vlad take an Oath (the magic binding kind) to not mess with Bruce or his family or reveal any of their super identities to anyone at all. Constantine is there beforehand to read over the contract and outthink any loopholes before vlad can take advantage of them.

Danny gives them samples of ecto-dejecto for medical emergencies, the Bat's keep them refreshed and in stock especally after they meet Ellie and hear about her stability problems. With help from Frostbite and Danny's ok they start working on a more reliable formula just for Ellie's sake.

Yes Jason is calmer around the halfas and he is slowly stabilizing enough form a proper core from it, (not an instant fix this time!) whether hes becoming a true halfa, more towards a remnant, or both they arent sure. But one night when the phantoms arent around Jason is having a bad time, reacting from something he was hit with during a fight. Tim just grabs one of the ecto-pens on a whim and it just flushes out the toxin so fast Jay passes out. When he wakes up his core has had a good growth spurt, its still not complete yet but he's beginning to get some minor abilities, the Phantom sibs start coaching him before it gets strong enough for Jason to turn completely intangible and if Jay starts complaining? Clockwork whisks them ALL up to the tower for a home movie night of Danny's greatest fails. Grampa has a collection, good and bad XD. Yes Danny is cringing in shame while eating Clockwork's ecto cookies but Jason is slowly starting to understand the importance of getting the basics right cause he does NOT want to accidentally sink completely under the ground without being able to get back out no thank you!!

What core type would he get anyway? Shadow's like Johnny because of the stealth perks? Earth to prevent being buried again? Would he have literature as a secondary obsession cause obviously he's gonna follow Danny into the family/protection category but since Danny also has a space obsession why not?

He puts Jazz's name in the list of superhero safe therapists, the fact she's already making waves at Arkam is only boosting her reputation. Especially once they read her paper on ghost obsessions and how sometimes they are comparable to hyper-fixations in autistics in the way they both satisfy and promote healthy growth for a ghosts physical and mental state but also how being deprived of them or forced to go against them can be severely harmful to their literal health.

And that was one thing the birds kept tripping on to understand whenever they needed to bench one of the halfas but they would end up just hovering around NEEDING to be helpful no mater how much they are told to go back to bed. They also get a whole new understanding on what happened to Dan cause yeah his whole timeline is based on loosing his family and retaliating out of grief.

So from then on the halfas are allowed to help with little tasks as long as they do not strain their recovery at all. Whenever Danny gets sickly and depressed they take him up to the watch tower, Ellie gets lessons in different languages so she can interact more when they let her join them on international trips, Jason gets set loose in a newly discovered bookstore when the manor's or Bab's library isn't enough, and Dan.. they're still figuring him out but he seems to enjoy wrecking little play city set ups and games where you play as the monster like Godzilla or Rampage along with general ghost sibling rough housing. (Lilo and Stitch is his favorite movie but you'd be hard pressed to get him to admit it,)

As for ships, definitely anger management. Jason becomes an unofficial fourth Phantom sib. Platonic everlasting trio cause Danny loves his friends and they will pet him like a cat for hours while his tail coils around them possessively like a giant snake and still make memes of it when he's grumpy. Brain dead is fun also, especially if Danny or the others are capable of Little Baby Man form and Tim has to fight Damian for cuddle rights! Bats has his usual girls but hey superman isn't that bad to hang around either.

Jaytimkon high School fic???? Maybe with popular skater boy Tim 🥺🥺🥺

Sending love and inspo!!!

i adore hs aus xD i did reference skater tim, though maybe not the popular part so much ^^;

i decided to go established timkon & pre-jaytimkon for this one~ i hope you like it!! thank u sm for the prompt <3

>> AO3 <<

“Oh my god, Tim. Just ask him out already.” Kon hisses, startling Tim out of his thoughts.

Or. Well.

He wasn’t really thinking so much as he was stealing glances across the library, where Jason has his nose buried in a book. He always does. Even at lunch, Jason doesn’t really sit with anyone; just picks an out of the way table to read while he eats.

It’s cute. Especially when he gets really into it, and forgets he’s in public; mouthing the words, making faces, even uttering soft noises.

Tim would feel bad about sneaking glances if he didn’t know Kon’s been doing the exact same thing.

“I— The whole school knows we’re dating, Kon.”

“I’ll go with you.” Kon shrugs, twirling a pencil between his fingers. “So he knows it’s chill.”

Tim glares. “Then why can’t you ask him out?” he hisses. Tim’s not the only one crushing, here. Why does he have to be the one to ask?

Kon rolls his eyes. “Because I asked you out,” he says, like that has any bearing on anything whatsoever. He pauses, then adds, “Also, you liked him first.”

“Yeah, which means you have experience.” Tim chooses to ignore the second part.

“Also means you’re in desperate need of some.” Kon rolls his eyes. Tim pouts at him, but Kon stares back at him, unimpressed. “Dude. You are like… one more longing sigh away from leaving him anonymous love letters. Just ask him out.”

Huh.

Love letters… Tim hadn’t thought about that angle. Jason’s social media presence is pretty sparse, except for a book blog he updates two or three times a week. Hadn’t Jason said something about the secret admirer trope in romance a bit ago? But was it positive or negative…? Hm.

“Oh my god. Babe.” Kon put his face in his hands. “That’s not a suggestion. Please don’t make me call Cassie.”

Tim stills. If Kon calls Cassie, it’s really only a matter of time before Cissie and Bart get involved. And while it’s possible they could take Tim’s side— Tim doesn’t want to listen to it.

“We could sign the letter?” he offers anyway.

“Tim.”

Ah. Kon’s no-bullshit tone has entered the chat.

Fair enough. Tim would probably end up spending weeks just trying to compose the damn thing before giving up entirely. Fine. Okay. Tim can wing it. He’s great at that.

He drags his hands down his face. “Okay. Fine," he says. "I can do that."

Kon pats his arm. “You’ve got this, babe.”

Tim appreciates Kon’s confidence, even if he doesn’t share it.

It takes Kon’s foot nudging his ankle for him to stand. The space between their tables seems insurmountable, like Jason might as well be separated from him by an ocean. Tim looks back at Kon.

Kon, again, looks unimpressed. The raised brow and crossed arms are very Ma Kent. Tim almost tells him so, but thinks better of it. Instead, he turns.

Okay. Ask Jason out. Tim can do that. He’s done scarier. Asking a cute guy out is nothing compared to getting his ass kicked at the skate park. Besides, he knows Jason. He’s the only reason Tim passed English last trimester, after all, and he was… surprisingly patient about it. Well. It was a little rough at first, but. Then something shifted, and it got easier, and Tim. He’d thought he’d liked Jason before, but actually getting to talk to him—

Well.

Maybe Kon had a point about his pining.

At least if Jason rejects him, he'll be nice about it.

The insurmountable gulf between them is surmounted in but a few measly seconds—just barely long enough for Tim to get his bearings. His heart is still beating a touch too fast.

Jason looks up from his book. “Can I help you?” Tim can’t help but think he looks like a disgruntled cat. It’s cute. His expression shifts, a little, when he realizes it’s Tim. “Oh. Hey, Timmers. Need somethin’?”

Now or never. “Yeah,” he says. He grips the back of an empty chair, just to have something to do with his hands. “Do— Kon and I were planning on getting ice cream after school today. We were… wondering if you wanted to come?”

Confusion creases Jason’s brow. “That… I wouldn’t want to intrude on your date,” he says slowly.

“You wouldn’t be,” Tim says, immediately. “You— We want you there.” He pauses, and then, to clarify, adds, “On the date. ‘Cause. It’ll still be a date, if, um. If you’re okay with that.”

Jason looks at Tim. Then he looks over at Kon, who winks.

Huh.

Tim’s never seen anyone turn that shade of red before. The color paints all the way down Jason’s neck, and under the collar of his uniform. “I—“ His tongue darts out, wetting his lips. He looks nervous. Tim can relate.

He pulls the chair out with his foot, sitting. “I know it’s probably kind of sudden,” he says. “Um. You can say no, if you want to. And—um. If you need more time to think about it, that’s okay too. We can go out another day.” He pauses, the wheels of his mind spinning. “It’s not a trick, either. I promise.”

He almost holds out his pinkie, because he’s embarrassing like that, but. He manages to stop himself.

Jason’s mouth works a couple more times before he finally manages, “I’d like— Ice cream sounds good.”

Tim sinks back into his seat. His cheeks ache from his grin—he’s pretty sure he looks like an idiot, but. He doesn’t really care. “Cool,” he says.

Jason smiles back. “Cool,” he repeats, softly.

Ive reread you poison apple au and im in love i just can help but imagine the fun raven and dex have with their kids

And apple who marrys her to continue the story i feel like shes stubborn enough to raise a child on lies of stolen happily ever afters

I cry this got buried in the asks ( I have over 140 TTuTT I'm trying to get through them)

Raven and Dex have so much fun with their kiddos! They love them so much and the family is almost always on Fairytales Scrollazine (Peoples Magazine XD) as they became somewhat local Spellebrities after everything that happened.

They have so many aunts and uncles who adore them and Raven's parents are a constant when the kids are young. Diana tried to play the step-sister card once to visit but that was shut down so fast.

With Apple, yeah, she did find someone who would marry her, but it was purely for her looks, and for her, it was purely to try and continue the storyline. There was no love lost between the two, and it's a known secret that the two have lovers here and there. But both do love their children. A boy and a girl. Darius Charmont Knight (yes, Apple named her son after Daring. She lost him once. Not again.) and Winter White Knight (after her lost birthright. Her husband argued their daughter would be made fun of but Apple insisted and overall went behind his back to name the children.) She tries to raise them to believe in their birthrights as a Prince Charming and Snow White but her husband does all he can to make sure it doesn't stick.

Divorce is not a thing really in Ever After. It's been done, but to do so, it's basically like putting a mark on you and your family. It's seen as shameful. But Apple's husband it basically at the end of his rope when he kids turn 6 and 5, respectively and all but demands a divorce from the Supreme Classic Council who grant it prettily easily once the evidence is presented and once they find out who his wife is.

Apple somehow got supervised visits.

Hello! How are you doing? apologizes for being late I got a bit busy this week and wasn’t able to send in an ask that fast ;-; but I brought Terra his coffee

(This particular blend is called death wish coffee this stuffs got 165 mg of caffeine in it… in other words don’t let any menaces get to it.)

since Terra’s the one getting the coffee I thought we focus on him for this ask. Relationship wise I’m curious on his relationships with his fellow stardroids (romantic or otherwise) and his relationship with humans(particularly Minx)? Does he know any earth Navi?

What is his job in the stardroid group I assume from the sketches of him he keeps an eye on any Navi trespassing near by specific regions? I also assume he’s the second in command or another job or rank?

How exactly does Terra act like emotionally? Besides how bad this man needs a coffee ;-; he looks so tired and done all the time XD.

Im also kind of curious as to how to came to deciding on his final design? I hope you have a great rest of your day/night! Thank you!

I'm doing well! Thank you for asking. Don't stress about taking time to send questions, I get super excited to see them all the same! If anything, I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. Been busy and art is very time-consuming :”) 

Also, I love the cup design. Terra is gonna need every ounce of that caffeine! Long answer below. Art included!

Relationship wise I’m curious on his relationships with his fellow Stardroids (romantic or otherwise)?

Terra and Sunstar eventually become a couple in the AU. 

Terra was created before any other Stardroid, and had the hardest learning curve–he takes pride in his work and is more or less a workaholic. 

Sunstar was the last “Stardroid” activated, but had Terra to help him learn his new role. Kind of funny, given Sunstar was created to serve a role above him. Sunstar is happy to let Terra run things, though, for both of their sakes. 

Both eventually bonded after spending enough time together, but due to plot reasons, it takes until present-day Earth for things to really move along for them.

Saturn is romantically interested in Terra, but it’s very one-sided. Terra primarily sees him as a frustratingly laid-back coworker, if anything. 

…and his relationship with humans(particularly Minx)? Does he know any earth Navi? 

Terra and Minx did not meet under...the best circumstances. A misunderstanding, yes, but not one that either would have been able to clear up prior to meeting. He regrets the outcome of it, but both learn to become semi-comfortable around the other eventually.

He has regrets--although he was not himself at the time.

Terra has mixed feelings about humans, he prefers them over the Earth’s…last inhabitants. He is a solitary individual, and does not have any friends (for now) outside of his ‘brothers.’ This will change!

Terra’s closest friends among the Stardroids are probably...Pluto, Venus, and Jupiter.

He knows most of the MMBN main cast’s Navis (megaman, roll, blues, shadowman, napalmman, etc). he also knows and favors minx's pet cat, Tango. Cat person.

He likes Napalmman, and is distrustful of Shadowman.

Terra respects Sofie and Nenji for their work ethic, and a cautious eye on Miyabi, but admires his abilities for a human. 

He finds Lan annoying (who is also a highschooler in my AU)

He fears Dr. Wily, to a degree (plot reasons).

What is his job in the Stardroid group?

Terra is Sunstar’s second-in-command-but-not-really who maintains their spaceship and assigns the other Stardroids tasks.

The art you saw of him in a fighting stance was him getting ready to square off against Slur near the end of Arc 2. Terra is about the second strongest of the Stardroids after Sunstar–but does not fight often.

How exactly does Terra act emotionally?

“Tired and done” is pretty accurate for Terra’s personality, honestly.

He’s no-nonsense and likes to keep himself busy–burying himself in work is his way of coping with personal problems. Which, in itself, is a problem.

Earth forces him to change this behavior

Oh, you thought closing yourself off from others would have less consequences than being open? How cute.

Despite a cold demeanor and excellent poker face, Terra cares deeply for those around him. He’s not a softie like Sunstar at his core, but he can be surprisingly gentle. 

Though he used to be a hardass, he’s mellowed out a lot since re-arriving* on Earth. 

Unrelated–his lack of experience with building deep relationships or opening up to others makes him surprisingly easy to fluster, once the joke lands.

A secret romantic at heart? Who’d have known.

I’m not gonna lie, he’s kind of bland for a decent period of time. It takes him a while to unlearn a lot of emotional repression, but it also makes it all the more worthwhile when he’s in uplifted spirits.

If Sunstar catches this man smiling it’s game over

If Sunstar catches Terra without his visor? His month has been made.

I'm also kind of curious as to how you came to deciding on his final design? 

THIS!!! Oh my god he was both a huge pain and super fun to work on (like most of the stardroids)

I wanted him to have an ‘admiral’ look to him! But also space-invader-y and elegant (to a degree)

The gloves were more to fit the ‘commanding officer’ vibe

His stomach-region is designed in likeness to a belt on the bottom and vest in the middle! 

The fun poofy boots went more with the space invader vibe, but also to give him a more navi-like appearance.

His cable-hair and visor were strongly inspired by @liskobot’s Terra.exe design. They didn't have a ton of pictures of him, but they were a huge contributor to me even realizing the potential the Stardroids had to just exist in a MMBN universe.

Speaking of his visor–Terra absolutely uses it to hide the exhaustion in his face as well as his emotions. Reliable leaders need to stay composed, don’t they? >:)

The colors were done largely in part by my lovely dearest friend @hawkthespork. She’s a coloring GOD and helped me realize that not all of the stardroids have to have super saturated colors. I use saturated colors in my art a lot.

Until next time! Terra’s gonna enjoy his coffee in peace.

Some alt. cup designs:

#Luckily Minx hates the taste of coffee. #Dr. pepper for the win #Yes #the stardroids have been on Earth before #A very #very long time ago. #Terra has a soft spot for Fire-Navis and Darkloids #Slur and Terra are rivals in terms of matching each other in fighting power #*rearriving? Yes. I did not stutter. More plot #There’s honestly an ungodly amount to sort… I’ll let you set the pace #Feel free to ask about anything that stands out to you the most #Minx to terra: do you like your coffee like your men? #Terra: what? #Minx: hot. #dad jokes about her dad? more likely than you think #brainrotau #my art #stardroids #mmbnau #megaman #doodle #sketch #mega man battle network #terra.exe #saturn.exe #sunstar.exe #minx #sofie #ask #tag edit: I feel like i should clarify the hot joke was because Sunstar is a fire navi--not based on his looks.

Triangle dot com sleepover time!!! Tell me more about your two bread shaped cats!

Ok so actually I never reblog the sleepover asks but let's go I guess XD Also the pictures where kind of funny ok

No seriously thank you for the question! I'm glad to got asks so I will gladly answer! But before talking about my lil current bread cats (help that was in winter!) I will talk about all the pets I ever got (we got a couple of fish as a child but they don't count, and there's currently a big red fish white now lol at my parents home.)

Patate (his name basically means potatoes I know) he was a black and white cat my parent got before their wedding and my birth. He died when I was around 4 I think. He was a really kind and cool cat. He even tried to sleep in my bed when I wasn't there XD Before my parents wedding (2y before my birth) my mom had to go to the hospital... when she came back the cat wasn't happy XD but forgive her eventually. Likewise for my birth we stay one week at the maternity he was a bit confuse but warmed up fast from what they told me.

Noisette. When I was hm 9y? I think? We got her from a friend of my mother. She was a white and red cat and only kitten of the litter. As the kitten she was really sweet but as adult idk she become agressive and caracterial. My lil bro was really scared and she started to attack us. So we had to gave her to a shelter... I hope she's doing great.. BUT before she leave she left us with 2 adorable angels :)

Cookie & Tigrou : My dearest baby cats ❤️ They are the sons of Noisette and were born in our house. I remember when they were kitten they slept both with me. Cookie was almost all white with a red tail and a few red spot on the forehead, ears and neck. Sadly he died when he was 1-2 years old.. I couldn't even see him before he was buried. That was a long time ago.

As for his brother Tigrou :) (named Tigre originally and on his papers lol) it's him! he's 12 years now I think! yeah it's my lil baby boy I love him so much.

Praline : A few years (3years??) ago, I discover a young and wild cat/kitten in our backward who was hiding. A little female. She end up sticking around and our cat tolerated her. Still she stay really afraid of humans and she can't live in a home for too long. You can't just take her in our arms and walk I got hurt the hard way XD Still there is occasion you can approach her and caress her.

And! She got 2 litters and even birth the first one my room damnit XD So for the first litter, 4 adorable kittens.<3

(2 male, one black and the tabby one & 2 females with black fur, the last one here being the one with long fur)

It was during quarantine I had all the time to take care of them. My recommandations: don't let unhinged kitten in your room h24 :) it's a bad idea. I miss them a lot but they all have super families now.

One of her daughter had long fur, i don’t have pictures on this phone but she is so pretty now.

A few months later we didn't managed to sterilize her in time and she got another litter. 6 kitten. I don't wanna talk about it but all you need to know is that we ended up with 3 kitten that grow up healthy and all have family now. (2 female : the marble and black one and a male, the tabby one). (The marble one was adopted by my uncle & cousins too)

I am doing my studies overseas so I can't really saw them now and it pained me so much ;-; but I know my parents & brother are talking good care of them.

#cats #my asks #my photography #thanks for the ask! #kitten #cat #Also Jara pls could you be more specific on the headcanons ask? because I have all the life of this characters in my head XD #so yeah tell me in dm if you want smt a bit specific thanks!

Saw the cyberpunk au on Ao3 and I cannot stop thinking…How about an au based on the game AI: The Somnium Files?

So basically we have Aemond who got his left eye gauged out at the tender age of 10, and he’s been working extra hard to get his degree and stuff ever since. Fast forward 11 years, now 21, Aemond works at a special police department dealing with mysterious murder cases. He’s got a super high-tech eye prosthesis which has its own personality and can communicate with him via brain waves. The prosthesis can even take humanoid form in Aemond’s mind. Aemond and his “eyeball” works in sync professionally and together they solved lots of cases. Yet they are almost constantly arguing because in Aemond’s mind, his “eyeball” takes the form of his nephew Lucerys, who is supposed to be killed in a car accident 3 years ago.

Except, Aemond’s memory about Lucerys’ s death is very ambiguous. He just knows for a fact his nephew is dead, but how did he die? Who hit him? Did Aemond attend his funeral? Sadly Aemond can remember a thing. Now a new case comes to his desk. It’s a serial murder case involving young boys whose faces are half eaten by some unknown beast. Aemond sets out to investigate and it leads him to some buried memory.

That’s it guys. I really like a good suspense with some mystery and humor. I actually have the whole plot planned out but I don’t know if I am going to write it down. Hope this headcanon is intriguing enough XD.

Hi hi! For the OC ask meme - you pick who you're jonesing to write for! <3

🍒: Has Your OC had their first kiss yet? If so, with who?

🍆: Does your OC have any favourite form of affection, physical or otherwise?

🌽: How does this OC feel about acts of affection? What's their favourite act of affection, physical or emotional?

🍰: What's something your OC counts as unforgivable?

🍩: What's a crime your OC is most likely to commit? What's a crime they're most likely to get arrested for?

Oooh, lotsa prompts. :D Thank you!

(Odd OC Asks)

I'm gonna stick with Hector again bc as I said, he's on my mind tonight. XD (Rakha is too - looking forward to getting her liveblog back up and running - but she's still in Act 1 and I don't have strong answers for some of these questions just yet because she's still figuring herself out. :P )

🍒: Has Your OC had their first kiss yet? If so, with who?

Indeed! I don't actually think it was Karlach, either, though she is his first relationship/sex. I think I established at one point that Hector had a brief flirtation with a girl in the village near the monastery when he was in his late teens; it didn't get tremendously far but they definitely had a few secret rendezvous to make out.

However - his order isn't celibate but it was sort of frowned upon to get caught up in that kind of thing and so the whole thing got stomped out by the then-Abbot and after that Hector buried himself in his studies and didn't really come out again until the Nautiloid caught him.

🍆: Does your OC have any favourite form of affection, physical or otherwise?

This kind of relates to the above - Hector has been pretty touch-starved his whole life and also knows that Karlach ALSO has, so their relationship is VERY touch-heavy and he's sort of fascinated by it, by just being able to reach out and feel her near him any time he likes and get that same gesture in return. Any time he's near her and his hands aren't otherwise occupied he almost always has a hand on her arm or around her waist or shoulders, and she is the same way; it's not really even a deliberate thing on either of their parts, just instinctive, automatic.

With friends, he's less touchy-feely (although he got more so over time - there were a lot of hugs during the epilogue party), and I think his biggest gesture of affection comes around discussing each others' interests. He's always very actively interested in the things that are important to his friends (looking back, he absolutely first started to fall for Karlach when she infodumped about demons at him :P ), and super excited when someone (often Gale and Shadowheart) bring up something he's interested in and let him ramble in return.

🌽: How does this OC feel about acts of affection? What's their favourite act of affection, physical or emotional?

Oops. I guess the above answer was supposed to be just about receiving affection, and this one is about giving affection? I sort of answered both at once, lol.

🍰: What's something your OC counts as unforgivable?

My initial instinct was to say blasphemy but that's actually super untrue; he got close to Shadowheart even before she gave up on Shar, he was ready to throw hands with Mystra for Gale, etc. So his relationship with religion got very complicated very fast as soon as he left the monastery actually, which is interesting to think about.

Looking at the moments where Hector got the most angry/upset during the game, the answer seems more likely to be cruelty or indifference to those in need and unable to defend themselves. His biggest snap moments were 1) his temper tantrum at Shadowheart in the House of Healing, which was really at Malus Thorm except he was already dead, 2) Arfur Gregorio and the gunpowder in the refugees' toys, 3) Valeria not giving a shit about the outcome of her investigation, 4) seeing the Steel Watcher killing a little girl through the brains in the Foundry, 5) Wulbren Bongle, nuff said, and 6) the asshole running the dog kennel. (And, of course, everything to do with Gortash, Orin, Cazador, Raphael, Viconia, and Mystra.)

🍩: What's a crime your OC is most likely to commit? What's a crime they're most likely to get arrested for?

Hm. There isn't a TON of criminal activity Hector would be involved in. In a lot of ways he is the guy from that Club Penguin meme ("They can't do that, that's illegal!") - he got, for instance, super incensed about the djinn rigging the carnival game in Rivington. XD

However - he has definitely killed and will kill again, albeit for self-defense and/or civic duty reasons, so y'know there's that.

The real answer here, however, is that by Act 3 he was SUPER willing to steal all the shit from anyone who was a jerk to him/his friends/those in need (see previous question). It was for the most part a very Robin Hood-esque instinct (he didn't really want the money/goods for himself particularly and definitely paid it forward). But yeah the answer here is definitely petty burglary against jerks. :P

Are there any conspiracy theories about the Deep City?

Hope you don't mind the length of this. It got out of hand real fast XD

Host 1: Hello and welcome back to another episode of 'Ghost Stories'. Your friendly podcast where we talk about all things spooky and mysterious in Lucis. My name is Idona.

Host 2: My name is Silvestre, and if you actually call me that, good on you. Today's episode is especially spooky, since it takes places in our own wonderful crown city Insomnia.

Idona: Uuuhhhhhh. I always love those.

Sil: Yeah. One would think we would get more of those, but apparently our dear listeners like to hear about the outside world.

Idona: Which makes episodes like this all the more exciting!

Sil: Absolutely. I mean, who would want to hear about the outside, if you have such a treasure trove right in front of your doorstep? Do you know how old Insomnia is? Older than dirt. It always makes me wonder how many stories are really buried here.

Idona: You know, current theory is that Isnomnis is most likely older than Lucis. Dear old Somnus probably saw a reasonably sized city and renamed it.

Sil: Huh.

Idona: Anyway! What's the story that has been brought to us this time?

Sil: Oh, it's great. You're gonna love it. Ghosts in the old aqueducts!

Idona: A proper ghost story! How wonderful. It's been so long since we've had one of those.

Sil: The last Insomnian ghost story we talked about here was the one with the red capped spirits that steal people away, right? Or was it the one about the guy who turned up a hundred years ago with no identification papers whatsoever, spoke only a strange dialect of Old Lucian and then vanished without a trace?

Idona: I think it was the latter. Still convinced the other one were just weird debt collectors.

Sil: Probably, yeah. I mean all of their known victims were poor people with huge debts, so...

Idona: Still a crime though.

Sil: You know, we should probably get started on this week's story. Otherwise our runtime will only be filled with senseless ramblings.

Idona: Sil, our runtimes are always filled with senseless ramblings. But take it away.

Sil: Okay, so. This story came to our ears thanks to one of our listeners. She wishes to remain anonymous, but she wrote us that her cousin works for the WSD, the Water Sanitary Department for those who don't know. Said cousin is responsible of keeping the old waterlines up and running.

Idona: Wow, stop. Are you telling me that we aare still using those? The youngest ones of the old waterlines are at least a thousand years old! At least!

Sil: Well, the old Lucians must have builld things to last. And if it ain't broke, why fix it?

Idona: You just sounded so Leidean.

Sil: Why, thank you. My ancestors would be proud. So, Anon's cousin is down there, doing his job of looking at stones as old as dirt to make sure nothing will come crumbling down, when all of a sudden he heard a strange noise.

Idona: Was it voices? It's always voices.

Sil: Got it in one. The cousin heard voices whispering in strange tongues. Of course he goes closer, since no one but him is supposed to be down there. Gotta warn those people away and all that. But as he walked around the corner, his torch goes out and he hears a strange humming.

Idona: Go on. This is getting good.

Sil: Just wanted to see, if you had something to say. Anon's cousin is understandably freaked out by all of this. But still he calls out, because he just knows someone is there. Which is when he starts seeing strange, glowing shapes in the pitch dark.

Idona: I wish I had been there! This is turning out to be one of the most amazing eyewitness accounts for ghostly activity!

Sil: Yeah, but sadly there's not much more to it.

Idona: Awww.

Sil: Because at this point Anon's cousin runs back the way he came, totally freaked out by all of this. Thankfully his torch turned back on not long after and all he had was a shock and a few scrapes and bruises from running in the dark.

Idona: That's a relief.

Sil: You don't look relieved.

Idona: Well, he could have at least tried to communicate with the ghosts. Just imagine what we might have learned from them!

Sil: Or Anon would now have a dead cousin.

Idona: Or that, yeah.

Sil: But we're still not quite at the end of this little story. One day later Anon's cousin comes back to the place with two others. They find nothing there but some freshly carved symbols on the wall.

Idona: What did the symbols look like?

Sil: Here. Anon's cousin copied them down for us.

Idona: Huh. I feel like I've seen those before.

Sil: What? Really?

Idona: Yeah, I mean, my mum is a historian specialising in Insomnia's earlier history. She's been trying to get permission to go to the lowest levels for basically half her life now, but gets denied every time. Apparently it's too unsafe down there. I feel like I've seen something similar to those symbols in one of her books before.

Sil: You know, hearing that, I can't help but wonder how safe the structural integrity of Insomnia actually is.

Idona: Oh Astrals, don't make me think about that! This gives me some real existential angst.

Sil: ...

Idona: Now you get it.

Sil: Aaaanyway. What did you think of this week's story, folks? Please leave your comments on our mog page or leave a small donation at our crown-cast page.

Idona: Donators can bring stories to our attention - much like this one - have access to all our episodes two days early and can participate in live FAQs once a month.

Sil: Thank you all for listening. And remember:

Idona: The world is scarier than you think it is.

[tmrrwppl]

Jordan's out here liking posts where I briefly mention Adelle so lemme go off about Adelle and the verses Clari gets to interact with her.

In a couple verses, Clari just shows up completely broken in one way or another. In some she's pretty functional as an adult but still trying to keep herself together 24/7.

Regardless of verse tho: Adelle doesn't give her pity, but Adelle treats her like her own daughter (she brought Clari into this world all by herself and the vibes say she will absolutely threaten her bio mom about it if she ever gets the chance, either with violence or ripping her into shreds financially and burying her in court costs and CRIMINAL CHARGES).

And while Clari doesn't think she's worth much, Adelle repeatedly reminds her that she is. And she will not let Clari talk down about herself like, ever. She absolutely engages Clari's interest in sciences, and is basically like "Well you may have only taken Earth Space Science in high school but today we're talking about gene splicing, also watch me run experiments and ask me questions. But also please don't touch the acid, I don't want to find out if you can juggle it, dear." And Adelle just gives Clari grace and patience to learn.

And TO BE HONEST, Clari is scared SHITLESS of meeting Jordan's parents in the main verse canon, which is hilarious cause she literally meets Adelle and like 4 minutes later Adelle is stitching up her bullet wounds from the Party in Ep 4. This is also the same night Clari admits she definitely likes Jordan and kisses him so it's moving FAST but it's honestly wholesome (I love Jordan and Clari as a pairing and I will die on this hill defending these two).

In the verses where Clari basically moves in with Jordan/Jordan's fam (in lieu of finding Cas/Joining the Lair Dwellers/Post Canon, she is literally doing the MOST to be a good house guest because she doesn't EVER want to disappoint Adelle or Mal (Jordan's dad), or have them think she is mooching off them or whatever she gets in her brain.

AS ANOTHER SIDEBAR:

Jordan's sister and Clari get along like a damn forest fire and honestly she even gets along with David who has foot in mouth syndrome a lot (it's Clari, she's just so easy to like most of the time, poor guy never stood a chance)

And-- AND-- After getting comfortable around Mal, he is absolutely her new dad and Jed can kick rocks cause Mal is the only adult male figure in her life that genuinely cares about her wellbeing (other than Roger, briefly, later on).

Edit from @bloodbulletsandbytes

"Only thing you got wrong is what Adelle would call her; darling, not dear :) And David also definitely still puts his foot thoroughly in his mouth most of the time, at least for a while XD"

#bloodbulletsandbytes #don't touch me i'm crying about Clari getting the familial love she deserves #also #(JordanxClari) The Light Behind Your Eyes #m: Clari #c: Adelle #correct me if I'm wrong but I'm basing it off the vibes XD

[asterekmess]

20.000 people probably already answered this but the Sheriffs actor is named Linden Ashby. What a name to have.

I'll be real, at the time i first saw this message, nobody had given me the name yet. XD i've only seen one mention of it in the replies on the post. You're a lifesaver. Linden Ashby.

You know he played a firefighter in 'the good witch'?

Im Dying at the idea of stiles' dad being a fire chief instead of a sheriff. Imagine how much more involved/devastated stiles would be about derek's return to Beacon Hills.

"Dude, that was Derek Hale. His whole family died in a fire like 6 years ago. Dad said the flames burned so fast that most of the house's foundation is still standing. But the Smoke was insane: Dad Swears there had to be something fueling the fire, instead of the electric accident the insurance said caused it. Tara is the one who pulled his uncle out of the flames, said she couldn't believe he'd survived for so long in the heat."

Just like, all Stiles' fear abt his dad's job. Now move it from 'getting shot' to burning to death. He and Derek would both have that anxiety about the fire going.

Imagine how much more MESSED UP stiles would be after s1, after he lights peter on fire.

The fire marshall's Son flambe'd a man.

Stiles still being obsessed with police stuff, but with a Very healthy dose of acab. He gets his info similar to danny, hacking the accounts. Or just pickpocketing the bastards. Has Zero respect for cops because his dad gets in fights with them regularly about doing stupid shit.

People STILL call his dad 'sheriff' only it's an affectionate term bc they call him when they need cop-type stuff done instead of the actual police. The actual sheriff hates his guts. Noah is A-Okay with that, cus that fucker reminds him of his own dad.

And it'd highlight stiles' bad-assery with rulebreaking too. Bc we find out the only reason he got caught so damn often was bc it was his own dad catching him. His record is almost squeaky clean with the actual cops bc his dad and he both know he's going to get Shafted if he gets in trouble, so he just Cannot get caught.

He Loves outsmarting the cops bc he sees how they treat his dad and he likes proving that he's better at their jobs than they are.

Stiles being known as the Bad kid instead of getting his misbehavior buried under 'sheriff's kid'. Stiles is genuinely Feared by some people. They say he does the same exercises as the firefighters (he does but it's to be moral support for his dad). Stiles has this whole second family with like Tara and stuff, but they're all firefighters. He sleeps at the station at least once a week.

Also. Stiles as someone who can fucking pole-dance (as an exercise, Tara taught him) and he does shit like in the first episode hanging from stuff All the time bc he's got insane leg grip from climbing up and down the fire pole all the time.

I forgot what we were talking about. I need to go write this au XD

#personal #go for it #rant #canon is dead and i killed it

[lemmilemura]

Alright here we go, some stuff is missing but that's just cuz I really cannot think of anything and I just wanna get it out of my drafts. Emjoy

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

//

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

You were 100% part of the Simon, Janae, Maeve group before and after you started dating. I’d say you maybe knew Janae first and got in through her. It’s a really great dynamic and you have the best times together. He’s the type of best friend who will literally roast you any chance he gets, worse every time, but will defend you to hell and back if anyone else does.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

He will not, under any circumstance, admit it, but he’s a pretty big fan of just a good ol’ cuddle sesh. He will never outright say when he wants to, but he’ll sort of act in a way that lightly pushes you do initiate it. He’ll get closer to you, wrap his arms around you, stuff like that, waiting until you ask to cuddle. Just the feeling of you so close to him, both so comfortable, it’s just amazing. It reminds him that you’re still with him, not going anywhere. If there’s days where you’re more cuddly or clingy, he will probably act all like "my my, you’re really clingy today huh? I guess we can cuddle" but trust me, he loves those days. To be honest the two of you could cuddle almost anywhere (with varying degrees of closeness, in school you can’t really get comfy). His favorite place is probably in bed, because you can just wrap the blanket around yourselves and just snuggle real close and just enjoy. If you, while cuddling, play with his hair or something, chances are he’ll get really sleepy, so you use that to your advantage more often than not.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

I can imagine the two of you moving in together probably as soon as you can, be that before or after graduation. Both away from your parents, together 24/7 and you can do and decorate however you want. For some reason I can’t decide between Simon being the type who cannot even make a microwave meal properly, or being an absolute 5star chef in the kitchen xD.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

//

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

He wants to marry you, 100%. If you want to, of course. If you’re the kind of person who wouldn’t want to get married, he’d be totally accepting. He just feels, after a while, that there’s nothing that could be better, nothing and noone that could replace you. You two definitely have a promise ring situation, and the actual wedding would not be that far away.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

//

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Big spoon every time. He holds you as if any moment you could disappear, but at the same time also like you’re the most fragile thing on earth, perfectly in the middle of the two. If he’s had a bad day, he’ll most likely hold you while burying his head in your neck and just stay like that for a bit. In public, like at school, he’ll put an arm around you or stand behind you, hands resting lightly on your waist.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

It would take him quite a bit, because of his past hurts. He will most likely not be the first one to say it, because he wants to wait until he’s 100% sure you love him too, be that you telling him or if he feels like you do, he’s gotten pretty good at reading people in that sense. After the first one, you won’t hear it often, mostly when you’re both in bed and he thinks you’re asleep. He’s the type to look at your 'sleeping' form and say a few praises and things, as well as 'I love you' almost every single time :,)

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

//

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

//

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

This very much depends. Some random kid he’s never met? It’s his nemesis. Hates it. Looks at it with a weird face until it looks away or cries. Family members/cousins? He’s the one playing video games with them at every family gathering, but also 100% the one who teaches them swear words. Your own children? He’s much more relaxed than his own parents, much kess pressure or control. As long as what they do isn’t a crime or too stupid, he lets them do basically whatever they want. He can however definitely get more stern with them if needed, but everyone prefers it not to come to that.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

//

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

//

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

//

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

//

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

My mans remembers EVERYTHING that you tell him about yourself. EVERYTHING. He's really good at remembering stuff, and you are no exception whatsoever.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

How weird it may seem, it’s the day he almost died. Until then, there was a constant nagging thought that you didn’t actually like him, and that you just go out with him to get info on others or to be spared from AT. But when he saw your genuine concern for him, your beaming, happy face, covered in tears, when he came home, he realized that you genuinely cared for and loved him. He alre looks back fondly on any moments when you're just cuddling and enjoying your time together

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

//

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

//

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

I mean there’s the 'exposing of other people’s dark secrets' thing...

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

//

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Very. You are the one who gives him the self-confidence he's missing without you, you make him feel better. When you're not around he's much more irritable and everybody hates it, but he hates it the most.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

//

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

//

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

He absolutely hates admitting it, but over the time you two have been together and have regularly shared a bed, it has happened that some nights, when he isn’t with you, he finds himself unable to sleep. He’s gotten so used to having you next to him, in his arms, that it just feels like there’s something missing (there is). If he’s away in an out of town sense, it’s even worse, because you can’t just go to eachothers places. In times like these, you two will go on call with eachother. It does actually help him knowing that you’re 'there' and to hear your voice, but the best way to fall asleep is with you in his arms <3

Warm Hearts and Hot Soup

Dream is a little under the weather when XD comes to visit.

I had to get this out fast! Leaving soon! Sorry it's so short! No time for proper proof reading! The prompt was sickness/illness! PLS ENJOY!

---

Dream was the kind of guy to push through an illness or injury. So that meant when he was out from sickness, the man was really sick.

He refused every visitor and offer of help. The blonde runner locked himself in his own house (which he totally had) and bundled up warm in layers of blankets and warm clothes. But that still wasn’t enough to stave off the chill. Even buried in all warmth, he shook and shivered. It felt like his very bones were cold.

Dream tried to sleep off most of the infliction but he was too restless and then with the sound of a familiar pop, he knew he wasn’t sleeping.

“Dream?” The growling double voice called out.

Of course DreamXD was one of the few to know where Dream actually stayed.

“I’m sick…” Dream’s pathetic voice whimpered out. It was no where near a shout. It was barely above a whisper.

“George told me.” XD almost sounded amused. Dream could hear the loud thump of their footsteps suddenly approaching.

Dream was in no mood for company. He buried his head under the blankets. “Go away…” He muffled.

“I came with gifts.” XD offered cheerfully. “Things to help.”

Despite longing to stay in his foul mood, curiosity got the better of him. Dream peeked out from his tent of blankets. XD was in the room now, having to duck down to fit in, and holding something in his lower hands.

From what Dream could make out it was shaped like a plastic bowl with a thin lid on it. When XD noticed Dream’s interest he grinned, lowering the bowl onto the table by the bed and opening it up. The smell of chicken soup immediately hit his nose.

Dream sat himself up as quickly as he could, making XD chuckle. “A little hungry?” The tall God teased.

Dream’s cheeks flushed pink, but calmed as XD’s teasing chuckle turned into a warm smile. He plucked a spoon from thin air and pulled up a chair, sitting by the bed.

“D-Did you make this?” Dream shivered and pulled the blanket tight around him. He looked over the soup curiously.

“George helped.” XD admitted. He helped out the spoon and took it away as Dream reached for it. “Don’t want me to feed you?”

“Wh-What? No!”

“You sure? Will be hard to eat while wrapped up.”

Dream huffed and shuffled out of his blankets. The cold hit him instantly but he suppressed a shiver and opened his hand for the bowl. The warmth of soup was the best thing Dream had ever felt. When he took his first sip he felt the warm soup spread down his throat and warmed him inside. He had to stop himself from downing the soup too fast and instead took his time.

XD filled the silence as Dream ate, which he was silently grateful for. The God filled him in on what George was up to today, and updates on any of the people XD passed on the way here. Nothing exciting. When Dream was finished, XD took back the bowl and spoon, and the objects disappeared with a quick snap of their fingers.

“Thank you.” Dream shivered and quickly curled up in his blankets again. Even though he could still taste the soup on his tongue, the warmth left him quickly and he retreated back to his bundle.

“Are you still cold?” XD asked thoughtfully.

Dream nodded as his eyes drifted closed. He tried to focus all his energy into remembering the soup and warming up again. He didn’t pay attention to the sound of XD’s shuffling, so he didn’t see the cloak thrown over him until he felt the weight land on him.

It surprised him more than actually knocking the wind out of him. Dream pulled himself up out of the blankets, looking to the cloak laying over him.

“I thought you might like your security blanket.” XD grinned. Seeing him without his cloak was always weird, even for Dream who had spent all his life with XD. With the cloak on he seemed larger than life, almost like a creature. Without it and seeing the (almost) human form under it made him seem less scary.

“I’m n-not a child! I don’t need-” Dream huffed but it was hard to keep that tone with the shiver through him, and when his hand touched onto the cloak all the fight left him.

The green cloak was soft, softer than Dream remembered it being, and it was warm. So very warm.

“Well I’ll take it away, if you don’t want…” XD reached out, slowly, to the cloak and couldn’t hide his grin when Dream tightened his hold.

“N-No! No! I want it!”

Dream felt like a child, but he didn’t care. He held the cloak in closer to himself, awkwardly shuffling out of the blanket so the cloak was the only thing wrapped around him. It felt warmer than any of the blankets he had, and it pressed over him like a comfortable weight.

“Feeling better?” XD asked softly.

Despite how much he wanted to stay in the comfortable darkness, Dream peeked open his eyes. “Uh-huh…” He mumbled with a little nod.

“This reminds me of when you were a child.” XD voice went soft. Softer than usual. The doubling growl almost seemed to fade. “Sometimes you’d get sick and I’d let you sleep on my chest while you were wrapped in my cloak. Do you remember that?”

Dream tried to remember. His mind felt foggy with the heat but he could still think clearly, albeit slower. “Not so much…” Dream admitted. It was hard to remember times when he was small. He had fragments of it, little pieces to slot together. “I think…did-did we used to live on a ship?”

“Yes.” XD smiled. He was excited, like an almost grin but much softer. “An airship. We had a ship we stayed in, and then I had a nest in an obsidian tower.”

“I think I remember the nest. It was really warm.” Dream turned his head as XD ran his fingers through the blonde hair. The claws softly scratched along his scalp, melting him further into the cloak’s warmth.

XD slowly traced their claws down, brushing along the nape of Dream’s neck and watching their brother curl up with giggles. XD traced over the spot again, their nails dancing along the skin just under Dream’s hairline and watched the giggles bubble up. Dream’s shoulder shook and he nuzzled himself into the cloak. But he didn’t move away or hide the spot.

“Dreeeeam~” XD’s voice carried on his voice like a song, drawing up a giggle from his little brother. “Is your neck tickly?”

“N-Nohoho…”

“Oh?”

XD made his nails slowly walk down the back of Dream’s neck, coming to the top of his spine and then dragging down to the side of his neck. XD skittered his nails up to just under Dream’s ear.

“Ehehehex Dehehehe!”

“I think someone’s neck is tickly~” XD cooed. “Someone has a tickly neck~”

“N-Nohoho! Ihi dohohon’t!”

XD sat on the edge of the bed, crowding around Dream who was curling into the cloak as much as he could. His ears had adorable red tips, which no doubt matched his face burrowed in to the green fabric. Yet even as Dream curled, he did nothing to protect his neck, which lay very open and vulnerable.

XD skittered their nails up and down the side of Dream’s neck. His giggling jumped up into squeaky when they tickled at the bottom, where his neck met his shoulders. It made his shoulders shake, almost matching his giggling.

“Naaawwww, what a tickly neck you have. So cute!”

“N-Nohohot cuhuhute…” Dream tittered but surprising XD by bringing his head up from the cloak. His cheeks were pink and bunched up with his loopy smile. His eyes were dazed and unfocused but little giggles still spilled from his lips even when the tickling had stopped.

XD’s heart swelled with affection, his smile turned soft as he raised his hand and scratched under Dream’s ear. The blonde hunched his shoulders and couldn’t seem to decide whether he wanted to hide in the cloak or stretch out more for his neck for tickles.

“You sleepy Dreamie?”

Dream nodded slowly and XD knew their little brother was not in his right mind. Dream would always kick up a fuss over the cute nickname. XD lessened his scratching to soft touches. “You want to sleep?”

Dream nodded again and could vaguely feel himself be moved. The blanket of green was still around him, its soft fabric grasped in his hands like a lifeline. He slowly opened his eyes to see he was no longer laying over the bed, but he’d been moved to lay over XD’s chest.

He could feel the want to protest growing in his chest, but it faded fast. He did feel like a child again but that wasn’t a bad thing. XD felt as warm as the sun, and the cold that had been clinging onto his bones melted away. He was left with only soft thoughts and gentle mumbling words of XD’s words above him. Dream had no idea what was being said, but he didn’t need to. He just slipped into the most comfortable sleep he’d ever had in a long time.

4,7,41,43,45,48,61 - so sorry 😭😂

Thank you so much for the questions, dear! (Which are from here.) I’m putting them under a cut because this got long lol:

4. How do you choose which fics to write?

This is an excellent question! I have no idea. I typically will write every idea and start the fic but abandon it at some point. The reason for abandoning it varies. Sometimes life gets in the way, sometimes another fic idea takes over my mind. Sometimes that fic idea merges with another WIP. But I do try to write every idea down.

7. Post a snippet from a wip.

This is from an upcoming chapter of You octopi my heart:

“Humans sure get tired fast,” Tommy commented.

Daniel wanted to strangle him but didn’t have the willpower or strength to sit up yet. He just simply let-out a groan and buried his face into the couch cushion.

41. Who’s your favorite character you’ve written?

Currently, my favorite character to write is Tommy, believe it or not. His “take a worm for a walk week” comment coupled with his heckling during the tournament has led me to believe he is a Clown and writing him being a Clown but also writing him being Tired of Daniel is very fun. XD

43. Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet?

A proper vampire fic. One day, I will figure that one out. XD

45. What genre/trope do you tend to write the most?

Well, I’m noticing that I write a LOT of angst fics. Daniel is Going Through It at some point in just about every fic I write. I don’t know why I gravitate towards that lol

48. Who is your favorite character to write for?  Has this changed since you’ve started writing for that fandom?

I love writing for Daniel and that has clearly not changed at all lmao. I don’t have time to list all of the reasons why I like him and enjoy writing him but know that the list is long.

61. In [insert fic], what’s your favorite scene that you wrote?

So, you chose And miles to go before I sleep and I am very happy because my favorite scene from that fic is the very beginning:

Daniel LaRusso had known that his stupid station wagon wasn’t gonna make it for much longer. He had heard it in the way the engine was knocking and how slowly it had begun to accelerate. But he couldn’t afford the repairs nor could he fix it himself. (He had tried and realized that this was something that needed to be done in a garage.)

So, as his station wagon started coughing-out its final warning, he pulled over to the side of the road. Luckily, he spotted a sign up ahead that notified him there was a town within a mile. The station wagon shuddered to a stop, though, and then the engine started smoking.

“Fantastic,” he muttered, thumping the steering wheel.  

#wip ask game #thanks again! love doing these!

Drinking Buddy

Summary: What do you do when you run into Commander Shepard at a bar? Insult her choices, of course.

CWs: Alcohol

Will go up on AO3 eventually, but for the time being, enjoy a little tumblr exclusive xD

 “And humans call our drinks piss.”

Wrex gave the bottle another sniff, just to be fair- the Dark Star always smelled vaguely like piss, after all. On a second pass: yeah. It smelled more like a scrap heap left to rot in the sun for a month. Sweet and cloying in a way that got stuck in the back of his throat, and stayed stuck even after a shot of ryncol. Fantastic.

Shepard reclaimed her bottle, giving the dregs a swirl before polishing them off and setting it next to her empty glass. “Mmh- no? No, I said-” She frowns, staring intensely at a chip in the tabletop. Wrex not-so-silently counted the seconds once it became debatable whether she still even had the thought or not. Hit forty nine when a blue glow surrounded his drink, snaching it out of his claws and into Shepard’s hands. He blinked, staring at the empty space for a moment and processing that, yes. Shepard had just... gone and done that.

“You could have asked.”

“Coulda,” Shepard shrugged, meeting his stare and taking the most pathetic sip he’d seen out of a sapient being. Then, had the gall to look like there was a varren under the table gnawing off her leg.

“Yeah-” she shakes her head, handing the glass back. “Yeah, no, not- no, see it's like thresher maw spit. Maybe tastes like their piss? I’m fine admitting I don’know about that one.”

Well, shit. Might be a weakling, but the description pulled a reluctant laugh from the krogan. “That’s because it is- the spit part,” Wrex says, finishing it off just in case Shepard decided she’d developed a taste for it; he’d paid a premium for the real stuff. She could order her own.

She didn’t protest. Didn’t do anything but stare at him all bug-eyed for a minute before burying her face in her hands and mumbling- well, between her speech going and the music, he couldn’t make out anything coherent. “Look, if you’re going to start crying, I’m out of here-”

“No-” Shepard snapped back to life, waving a hand like that was supposed to mean something. “No I- fuck, I was joking, but it-” Whatever she said was too fast, too slurred or lost in laughter for his translator to catch.

Wrex started sliding towards the edge of his seat, just in case. 

“Mmh- no, uh- shit, fuck words-” Shepard rubbed her face, shaking her head again. “I mean I was joking but, not, y’taste that once’n you don’t forget.”

Wrex snorted, leaning back against his seat. “You’re telling me that you know what thresher acid tastes like?” He can’t tell exactly what her expression means (on a krogan, it would mean ‘please headbutt me, I’m going to say and do something very stupid very soon’), but it still draws a chuckle all the same. “Your kind can’t even build a tank that won’t burst into flames after a few stray hits.” 

Shepard leaned forward, clearly glaring this time. “You are not seriously disrespecting my car-”

“The quarian’s car, if you ask me,” Wrex laughed. “You drive like a drunken pyjack. But-” he nodded, willing to concede some small defeast. “It’s kept us alive and the rest of you from turning into puddles of slime.” He refilled his glass, one eye still on Shepard. 

Gripped his drink just a little tighter, with how she was staring at it. 

She didn’t move for it. Just glanced around for a moment. Wrex was nearly tempted to be concerned for her well-being when she finally moved, raking her hair back and twisting to one side. 

“I'm no expert on humans," he said. "But there's supposed to be more there, right?"

“Mm-hm.” She reached up, barely touching the stubs of flesh that might’ve once been an ear. “That’s the most… dramatic. Lucky though,” she said with a shrug. “Lost an ear. Big neck a scar. Voice's never been the same. Some…” She gestured at herself, letting the thought trail off. “Not bad for how ‘a bunch of thresher acid got into your hardsuit’ sounds.”

“Hell, Shepard. Should’ve told me that when we met.” Wrex grinned. “Might’ve respected you a lot faster.” 

“Nah.” Shepard laughed, shaking her head and leaning back. “Like doing things the hard way.” 

She lapsed into silence again after that, and Wrex was almost sorry for it, it had actually been getting kind of interesting. Probably explained why she never just drove away whenever they encountered a thresher nest in the Traverse, when he thought about it - and hell, how many of his own clan had barely survived their turn against one, during the Rite? Putting it like that almost made taking them down in that flimsy excuse for a tank seem impressive.

He grinned then, taking Shepard’s glass in his claws like a civilized being, pouring just a touch of ryncol and sliding it back over. The Commander stared for a moment, but caught on once Wrex raised his own. 

“To taking down every worm we meet, how’s that sound?” he laughed. 

“Damn right,” Shepard replied, clipping his glass and knocking it back, wincing a little less than before. “Mmh… I should- m’gonna go,” she said after a few moments, bracing against the table as she stood. “Noodle stand a few floors down. You hungry?”

“If you’re paying.”

Wrex had never seen someone look so happy to spend their credits on a krogan’s meal.
