@imytheone WHOO
I HAVE COMPLETED THE DRAWING!!
I shall also tag @allmightyscroll-swag as well cuz I like tagging em in oc related stuff :3
While I have drawn the siblings profiles, and Brittany making some appearances, Imma tell you MORE information about them!! >:D
One quick thing: These four are my oldest ocs (along with two others but you don't know em eheheh) from 2020 and at the time of making them I had just found out what Helluva Boss is. These characters were very much inspired off of them, especially Cici and Brittany.
Let's start off with the youngest:
CICI
Like I said, she is the youngest being around 6-7 years old
Pronouns are she/her, I'll just say aroace since I don't picture her being in a relationship at her age-
Cici is part demon thanks to her mother, but hasn't developed horns or a tail yet.
However, she has some powers, that being super strength and flight!
She can't fly very high, although she is the strongest in the family; being able to lift around the same weight as a van full of people. The older you get, the weaker your powers would become; so Cici, Onika and Zeke's mother would have the weakest powers.
Cici swears more than Onika and Zeke, mainly because of her mother. She gets in trouble at school regularly for this. That and for throwing chairs around. And for biting teachers' ankles. She gets in trouble for a lot of things.
Like all children, she has tantrums at times. But, of course, hers tend to get more...violent. Usually ending up with someone breaking a bone or two.
For hobbies, Cici enjoys drawing, roleplaying with toys and making things (whether that's with Lego or metal scraps-)
She doesn't listen to music as much as her siblings do, but her favourite artists are Pharrel Williams and Five Finger Death Punch.
She has insomnia and has a lot of difficulty sleeping.
Her and Onika love watching TMNT together, and are currently on Rise.
Cici's original design was heavily based off the girl with the large bow and brown curly hair that appeared in the first episode of HB. I was quite unoriginal at the time lol.
ONIKA
Onika is the middle child, being 15 years old.
Her pronouns are she/they, and they are also aroace.
Onika's powers aren't as strong as Cici's, but she can fly better and can piggy-back the weight of two adults.
Onika technically has a tail, but it's now a stub because a group of bullies cut it off.
Yeah. She was bullied when she was younger. She was jeered for being both demon and human, and neither species wanted to be friends with her.
This was also mainly because she had anger issues which caused her to have violent episodes if provoked enough, one time being she almost killed a teenager younger than her.
Luckily, she's gotten better now and is practically never violent. Except in Mariokart.
Onika is usually either hyperactive and energetic, or utterly lazy and unmotivated.
She desperately wants to get Maori tattoos like Zeke but her parents don't allow her.
She hates wearing skirts and having her hair down.
Onika doesn't have a lot of hobbies, but she enjoys trying new foods, skateboarding and playing the guitar.
Her favourite artists are AC/DC, Metallica, Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden.
I'm pretty sure I based the hair off of another character I saw online once, but I can't remember her name- all I know is that the hair isn't original:'D
ZEKE
Zeke is the oldest at 19 years old.
His pronouns are he/him and he's gay.
Zeke uses his powers the least and only really uses them for miniscule tasks around the house like moving a bed or fighting his sister.
Yeah. Zeke and Onika fight a lot, more physically than verbally, and it's usually for stupid reasons, like who rightfully had the bag of pretzels first.
Zeke has both a tail and horns (which are still growing).
He also has difficulty with keeping his body temperature warm, so he wears a lot of layers and a lot of black to keep in as much heat as possible.
He has Maori tattoos along the back of his left shoulder as well as part of the left arm, but rarely shows these to people.
Zeke has been teased by many to have a "baby face", which annoys him greatly.
He can be mostly found in his bedroom gaming, listening to music or curled up in a ball in bed.
He likes sleeping. A lot.
His favourite games to play are mainly action/shooter games (I'm not an expert in this department so feel free to decide which ones he likes playing) and occasionally likes to play RPGs.
His favourite artists are Green Day, Linkin Park and The Offspring.
BRITTANY
Brittany is also 19 years old and is best friends with Zeke.
Her pronouns are she/her and is an asexual lesbian.
She has the ability to fly, and being incredibly tall probably has some advantages too.
I honestly don't know how her and Zeke ended up being friends, but they just did.
Brittany is a very affectionate person and adores hugging, cuddling, complimenting and kissing people (non-romantically).
She also adores fizzy drinks and cats. She ADORES cats. And animals in general.
If she was to encounter a cat, whether that be an anthropomorphic one or not, she will give them double the amount of affection.
When Brittany's happy, she wags her tail about, shakes her hands and squeals. She does this quite often.
She can be extremely chatty and talkative and could go on for hours on end talking about almost anything.
However, Brittany is extremely clumsy and is prone to falling down the stairs, tripping, running into windows and/or getting her horns stuck in things.
Her hobbies are shopping, going to cafés and watching romcoms.
Her favourite movie is Love, Actually and her favourite artists are Ariana Grande and Twice.
Her original design was heavily based off of Verosika from Helluva, and I still can't let go of the long white hair + pink skin combo :') Fortunately, I think I've managed to differentiate Brittany from her, or I hope-
OKAY I AM NOW DONE I should be sleeping-

💖Week Two: Relationships💖
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The primary relationship that overarches the entire story and evolves the most significantly is Angela and Bruno. From a young age, they declare each other to be the best of friends, almost always at each other’s side or poking gentle fun at the other. To be perfectly clear, neither see the other in any sort of romantic view for a long, long time, and even when it starts to develop, they are quite blind to it, brushing off their feelings as just being a very strong friendship. They have the kind of rapport where they can be talking back and forth over each other passionately without any sort of irritation, or sitting in complete silence together either reading or crocheting, just passing the time in the presence in each other’s company.
When Angela is 19 and Bruno is 20, their relationship….changes for lack of better words. There’s a spark. A shift in the stars. An awakening of senses that ties the strings of their friendship into an irreversible knot. And despite this ‘change,’ they still promise to remain friends and just friends; only friends. She is still processing the trauma of her last romantic relationship, and Bruno (who I HC as demiromantic) doesn’t really want to take the deep dive into romance. So, they are friends. Just friends…who happen to sometimes kiss and look at each other a little too longingly.
For a more immersive and in depth experience/explanation of their relationship, I suggest reading my fic Why did it have to be me?
Angela is also quite close with Julieta and Pepa, as well as Agustin and Felix. As young teens, Angela and Pepa are in the church choir together, with Felix and Agustin who act as instrumentalists for the group. Julieta and Bruno will occasionally be pulled into the musical antics. Of the sisters, Angela is probably slightly closer to Julieta, mostly for her ability to read Angel like a book and is able to hone in on what’s going on with the girl. Pepa on the other hand has her head slightly more in the clouds so to speak when it comes to understanding the shifting moods and feelings of her friends, mostly because she has such a huge responsibility already of trying to regulate her own emotions. Julieta has always suspected something going on between her brother and Angela, is eventually proven correct when the relationship becomes difficult to keep hidden. She was mostly just suspect of her brother harboring a bit of a crush on Angela, but just being in denial about it for many years to the point where it had been completely repressed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Forgive the old art, I definitely need to update these ones :0 )
Angel loves the Madrigal kids with her whole heart, and though she wouldn’t say it out loud, she considers them as her nieces and nephews (and technically speaking with the whole common-law marriage contingency, they *are* her sobrinos more so than her cousins kids). She is closest with Isabela and Dolores given that they spent more of their formative years with her more than the other kids, but if you ask her, she will adamantly deny having a favorite.
When they were little, Isa and Dolores loved when Angela and Bruno would watch them for an afternoon/evening, because they would make a production of keeping them entertained with outlandish stories, complete with melodramatic acting and costumes (they especially love getting into Angela’s wardrobe of fancy things, and Dolores especially loves Angela’s would-have-been wedding gown that she keeps tucked away in her closet, but when Dolores finds it and gushes about how pretty it is, she’s able to let go of some of the bad feelings surrounding it). The girls get involved in their fable telling, inserting their own takes of action into the plot (which is completely welcomed) (very much like that episode of Bluey with uncle Rad and Frisky). Once Dolores gets her gift though, loud and intense storytellings get overwhelming for her, especially with the addition of the other kids. So, from this point on, Angela would do private story-time for Dolores, most often done when she would braid her hair. Isabela, on the other hand, liked to take on a directorial role, and was adamant about her vision for plots. Early on, the girls’ favorite stories were La Fada Morgana and the tale of Ariadne.
Angela, for better or worse, sees a lot of herself in Isabela as she grows up. The pressure to be perfect and splendid all the time is far from unfamiliar for her, and she tries, though not terribly successfully, to curb the pain of having to fit into a predetermined mold by giving Isabela some creative outlets to express herself. Initially, Isabela is able to get some of her feelings out through art, but overtime becomes scared of the consequences for just having negative feelings, so she only ends up creating in a very limited manner.
Luisa was an armored by Angela’s dancing when she was very young. When Luisa was around four, Angela returned from a long trip wherein she had learned to dance the Bolero, and little Luisa fell in love with all of the twirls and movements of her tía’s long skirt and cape. Angel would take Luisa’s hands and spin her around the floor to the sound of Agustin’s piano playing, and lift her up in the air like a true prima ballerina. With Angela, Luisa was able to indulge herself in her desire for the soft and girlish things of life, like chiffon skirts the swish around when she spins and pretty ribbons decorating her hair in elaborate styles. Unfortunately, time for the frilly trivial things lessens as the demand for Luisa’s gift grows. When traveling, Angela tries to find little trinkets like earrings or hair pins that Luisa can wear will working so she can still feel some bit of fun femininity.
Camilo and Mirabel both thought that Angela and Bruno were married when they were itty bitty. It only got brought up at one point: Camilo had just turned five, Mirabel in a few months preparing for her gift ceremony. The family is in the dinning room/ kitchen, and Mirabel asks Angela why she never wears a ring like her mama or tía Pepa. She’s a little confused at first, like what are you talking about, why would I wear a ring? Cue slight tense atmosphere of gently explaining that they are in fact not married, and the awkwardness that ensues afterwards of the kids insisting that they must be married because they’re in love and if you’re in love you should be married. This adds a mountain of tension on the pair as well as her relationship with Alma, especially given she leaves for a long time after Mirabel’s gift ceremony.
Angela teaches Camilo to play guitar when she comes back from a trip from DR when he’s seven. She gifts him her old guitar, telling him it’s charmed to never go out of tune, but in reality, she and Félix take turns tuning the strings when Camilo isn’t looking. He doesn’t catch on until he’s thirteen.
She also teaches Mirabel to embroider when she returns from her first cruise six months after her gift ceremony. Mirabel is in a concerning depressive spiral considering how young she is, and Angela offers to take her out of the magic house for a little bit to be in her family’s shop. She tells her that she can find magic in the ordinary things and thus starts teaching her little thread decorations and embellishments. She’s able to cultivate a bit more happiness in Mirabel through crafts and tailoring.
Antonio, given his very young age, does not have many solid memories of Angela, but loves her regardless. When she comes back for Dolores’ wedding, he is still shy, but quickly acclimated to her presence (the rats have nothing but good things to say about her). She held him a lot as a baby, but her traveling and almost permanent move away kept her from being around when his consciousness evolved from baby brain to child-with-object-permanence brain.
Tumblr media
Now for the enormous family tree!!!
The great grandparents don’t play much part in the story, so for sake of simplicity, I will skip over them. Quinuama Ixchel Maria Estrada - Villca Gonzalez and Raymundo Hernan Antonio Estrada - Rodriguez Villca are Angela’s maternal grandparents (they are primarily who raised Angel), who have children: Beatríz Adriana Pilar Carvajal - Estrada Villca, Naylay Ezekiel Hernan Estrada - Villca Ruiz, and Anamaria Yaamil Quinuama Morales - Estrada Villca. Beatríz marries Lucio Fernando Simoné Carvajal - Silva Estrada, and they have two children: Imelda Constantine Adriana Manuel - Carvajal Estrada and Dominic Simoné Lucio Carvajal - Estrada. Naylay marries Ramona Xiomara Laura Estrada - Ruíz Allard, and they have three children: Remedios Yoselín Magdalena Márquez Estrada Ruiz, Nicolás Raymundo Ezekeil Estrada Ruiz Vargas, and Narcisa Esther Xiomara Mendoza Estrada Ruiz. Anamaria marries Guillermo (listed below), and their only child is Angela Leilani Yaamil Morales Estrada.
On Guillermo’s side of the family there are the great grandparents Enele Aulii Taito and Kanani Sofia Anacoana Taito Flores Tuigamala, Chimalmat Itzamara Morales Canul and Matteo Guillermo Morales Delgado Canul. The two relevant children from these couples are Guillermo’s parents, Leilani Maria Onosa’i Morales - Taito Flores and Babajide Jacobo Matteo Morales - Canul Taito. Guillermo was distant from his family, setting out at a very young age to live with one of his uncles, Enele Kahiau Luis Taito Flores (Leilani’s brother) to learn the trade of raising goats. Enele sadly passed away years before the formation of the Encanto, leaving Guillermo to raise himself on his own since he was 16.
Of Angela’s five cousins (in order of age): Imelda Constantine Adriana Manuel - Carvajal Estrada, Remedios Yoselín Magdalena Márquez Estrada Ruiz, Dominic Simoné Lucio Carvajal - Estrada, Nicolás Raymundo Ezekeil Estrada Ruiz Vargas, and Narcisa Esther Xiomara Mendoza Estrada Ruiz; she is closest to Remedios. Narcisa, despite begin the closest in age, has an odd relationship with Angel from a young age, the two of them mixing like oil and water. Narcisa enjoyed teasing Angela as a child, and they would often get into little fights, sometimes escalating to crying and yanking on each other’s ponytails. Narcisa’s sardonic personality settled with age, and she became much kinder to Angela by the time she’s an adult. Remedios has a….reputation in town for her coquettish behavior and ‘revolving door’ of lovers. Angela is closest to Reme because of the older girl’s honesty and acceptance of things deemed ‘improper.’
Her relationship with her father is difficult to say the least. Guillermo became extremely detached and emotionally distant after the passing of his wife. He’s a man of very few words, even with his family. He’s one of those fathers who doesn’t want their kid to grow up, who would just keep them forever as a child if he could. It stems mainly from the fact that his wife died so young and seeing his daughter surpass his wife’s life breaks his heart.
Some other relationships include her three exes: Roberto Montoya, Aureliano Torres, and Esteban Cesare Moscote Suarez. Roberto is a sweet boy that Angela projected her desire for romance on to when she was 12 (totally based on my own experience of picking a relatively cute boy to have a crush on so I could feel normal) who was exceeding kind to her during their little relationship, but both ultimate decided that it just was not what either of them wanted, and Roberto came out to her saying that he had kind of done the same thing in ‘picking a sweet girl to project his feelings on to.’ Aureliano was the emotionally unavailable son of the cantina owners, who sauntered his way into Angela’s heart with a blasé smirk and several glasses of rum. She broke it off with him when a lie was revealed. Esteban was a seemingly kind gentleman who was the picture of perfection upon meeting him, but evolved into an extremely manipulative and abusive partner that Angela became engaged to after he put her on the spot in front of half the town with a proposal (Don’t worry though, she breaks it off after finding her strength).
I’ve probably talked way too long about this now :)

My reactions, thoughts, and predictions that I had while reading Percy Jackson: The Titan's Curse. At least the ones I bothered to write down. Spoilers below the cut. Also, fair warning, this one is way longer than either of my previous reaction posts. I had a lot of thoughts.
EDIT: part 1, part 2, part 4, part 5
I feel I should mention that the Percy Jackson books have objectively the best chapter titles
The mental image of Sally driving Percy and his friends to get their ass beat like it's just an after-school sports club is hilarious to me
Ooh, Thalia has hypnosis wind
So Thalia didn't age while she was in that tree? Because I remember she was much older than Annabeth at the time of her death, but now she, Annabeth and Percy are all the same age. Huh. Okay then.
NICO DI ANGELO!!! I've heard about you! You're gay! And he has a sister! Oh I am delighted and ready to love them!
Thalia insulting Grover's music taste.
ANNABETH IS TALLER THAN PERCY
Aww, Nico defending his sister.
OH SHIT, IS THORN A MANTICORE??!???!!
"They're not dolls! They're figurines!" Sure, sweetie.
CALLED IT
Bianca is great.
Oh my God, Nico, you beautiful nerd! XD
HUNTING HORN?!!?!!! SILVERY ARROWS?!!?!??? IS IT ARTEMIS?!!!! PLEASE TELL ME ITS ARTEMIS!!!!!
HOLY FUCK, ARTEMIS'S HUNTERS!!!!!!!
Zoë Nightshade is easily the most badass name I've ever heard in my life.
ARTEMIS!!!!!!!
Please tell me Annabeth is okay. I will not be okay until I know that she is
Oh my God, Nico! XD Also, chill, Percy, he's just a baby.
"Besides, I hear they rebuilt the cabins you burned down." Excuse me, what?!
Percy, leave Bianca be! Besides, you don't even know her! She can be a badass warrior hunter lady if she wants. What even are your hang-ups about Artemis's hunters? They saved your life.
Oh, wait, that's right. Camp Half-Blood needs more people to keep it protected. That's right.
Good for you, Bianca, but I can't say that I would ever leave my little brother to become an immortal virgin. No offense to them, but girl, your brother needs you. You may have a new family, but you're all he's got.
Oh, I love Artemis calling Apollo her annoying brother. Do we get to see them interact? I pray that we do.
Grover simping for Artemis is so valid.
Thalia thinking Apollo’s hot is so valid.
Apollo being an obnoxious kind-of hippy going through an anime phase is the greatest idea anyone has ever had. He's so stupid, I love him.
Apollo's comment about pretty girls turning into plants reminded me of the myth about the time where one of his boyfriends turned into a flower after he died. Hyacinthus. Because we cannot forget that Apollo is canonically bisexual. If Rick Riordan doesn't (at some point) acknowledge how gay ancient Greek mythology is, I'm going to riot.
Dating must be really weird at Camp Half-Blood. And between demi-gods in general, right? Because, technically speaking, they're all kind of related to each other. I guess it just works differently since the gods aren't human, so there's not the same case to be made about genetics and the potential for incest. Or maybe that only applies to kids who have the same god parent. Like how Percy sees Tyson as his brother. I’m wondering if the kids from other cabins feel the same way. Like, do kids from different cabins consider themselves siblings? Does Annabeth see the other kids from Athena’s cabin as her siblings? What does the dating scene even look like at Camp Half-Blood? Is it considered scandalous to date other members of your own cabin? Or do some people think it’s taboo or whatever to date other demigods in general? I don’t need sleep, I need answers!
Ohhh. Okay. So apparently Thalia has aged while she was in the tree, just very slowly. So if Percy is 14 and Thalia can pass as an 8th grader like him, and she should be somewhere between 12 and 19, if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say she's about 15 or 16.
Oh, hey, I was right. Thanks, Apollo.
Aww, poor Thalia. Lol. I was the exact same way when I drove for the first time. Literally had a panic attack on the spot, and I wasn't even controlling the Earth's temperature.
Yay, Tyson! I was worried we wouldn’t see him again until, like, the last book or something.
Aww, it’s so sweet that Tyson wants to see Annabeth. And it’s adorable how cool he thinks she is.
Wow, Luke really is an unbelievable bastard. Annabeth is smart, she was smart to question him, but when the rocks started to fall, her instincts drove her to protect Luke, because even though he’s an unbelievable bastard, Annabeth still can’t help but harbor positive feelings for her. For the longest time, he was family to her and she loved him, so of course those feelings are still there, even if she knows it’s illogical.
Wait. Annabeth is holding up the ceiling of a cave, which Percy acknowledges that she shouldn’t be able to do. So… is the cave ceiling actually the sky? Like how, in Greek mythology, the sky is held up by the titan Atlas? In the mythology, Heracles trades places with Atlas holding up the sky while Atlas helps Heracles complete one of his twelve labors, and when Atlas is about to leave, Heracles tricks Atlas into taking back the sky before bolting. Like how Luke tricked Annabeth into holding up the cave ceiling before leaving her alone to hold it by herself.
Okay, Grover, chill out with the stalking, bud.
I guess Grover and Annabeth take turns getting damsel-ed. Last book was Grover’s turn and this book is Annabeth’s turn.
Don’t worry, Percy, I forgot about that scarf too.
Okay, not liking how the Hunters are portrayed. Because when Artemis says to give up love, she only means romantic love, which is clearly not the only kind of love. Greek mythology practically invented the concept of differentiating and identifying different kinds of love. The Hunters should know that, but the way they act towards the other campers is really… I dunno, gross? They act like their way of life is the only way that matters, which is super fucked up coming from the people that follow Artemis.
“I wondered if there was any way I’d looked that ridiculous when I’d first arrived.” Percy, that was literally only two years ago, get off your high fucking horse. XD
Thalia static-shocking people when she’s annoyed is golden and I love her.
Oh, fuck.
OH, FUCK!
Oh, we love the prophecies… Yayyyy.
Okay, guessing time. Artemis is chained to a rock, which immediately made me think of Prometheus, the titan that gifted fire to humanity and was punished by Zeus to be chained to a rock and have an eagle eat his liver every day for eternity. But then the Oracle mentioned that one must withstand “The Titan’s Curse,” which could be another reference to Prometheus, but I don’t think so. Because in the myth, Heracles killed the eagle and freed Prometheus from his punishment, so I’m pretty sure it’s not that, but you never know. Then I remembered Annabeth and my prediction that she’s currently holding up the sky like the titan Atlas, and the Oracle said that “one must withstand.” Admittedly, my knowledge of Atlas and his mythos is shaky at best, and I don't remember him ever having a "curse", but I guess holding up the entire sky is about as "cursed" as it's possible to be. And the Oracle saying that “one must withstand” makes me think that something happened to Atlas, so now someone needs to hold the sky in his place or else the sky will collapse to the earth and the world will end, or something like that. So that’s my prediction, that someone will need to hold up the sky in Atlas’s place for the rest of, well, forever. I don’t have a guess as to who it could be, though.
Also, someone is apparently going to die. And be killed by their god parent. Awesome… Super looking forward to that inevitable heartbreak… I hope it’s not either of the di Angelo kids, but they’re both new characters, and I know Nico becomes more important later (purely by accident and through pop culture osmosis), and since I had no idea that Biance even existed until I started reading this book, I am terrified that that means Bianca is going to die. I pray that I am wrong.
Wow, Thalia is petty and I’m kind of living for it.
I love that the Stoll brothers are basically Greek Fred and George Weasley.
Wow, Zoë’s kind of a bitch. She won’t travel with Percy because he’s a boy, and apparently Grover doesn’t count as a boy because he’s a satyr. Super fucked up.
You know, Artemis did have male Hunters. It didn’t happen often in the mythology, but there was a pretty famous male Hunter of Artemis named Hippolytus. The thing about Artemis’s Hunters isn’t that men weren’t allowed to be Hunters, it’s just that men typically didn’t choose to be Hunters, because one of the reasons why Artemis’s Hunters joined her in the first place is because Artemis protected the women in her care from the sexist constraints placed on them by Greek society at the time. The reason why men didn’t typically become Hunters is because they didn’t need the same kind of protection and escape from Greek society that women did. And Artemis didn’t hate men on principal, she hated the fact that men were the ones who used their positions of power to discriminate against and abuse the women in their society.
Aww. Grover’s such a sweetheart.
I love Sally.
Percy has so many damn Dreams™ and nightmares I have to wonder if this kid ever sleeps.
Apparently Percy knows the names of the pegasi, which is adorable to me. And this one is apparently Blackjack, which is a great name for a horse.
Aww, I want a baby serpent cow.
Aww, Nico. He's precious and I love him. Protect this child at all costs
Oh, I know about Ariadne. Theseus ditched her on an island after she helped him navigate the labyrinth and kill the minotaur. That's how she met Dionysus. I'm pretty sure they got married not too long after.
Aww, Dionysus and Ariadne are still married. That'd be kind of sweet if Dionysus wasn't such an asshole.
Yup, I know about Medea too.
Did they really just give Dionysus the Snape treatment? He hates all heroes on principle because one of them was cruel to his wife? He thinks he’s justified in harassing children because they’re training to be heroes, and he thinks that all heroes suck? Wow, dude. Get a life.
Oh, cool, Bianca’s forgetting things now. Nothing sketchy or sinister about that, I’m sure.
Is the General the titan Atlas? If my earlier theory was right, then he's gotta be.
Excuse me, teeth?! Plant them?!
Oh, wait! I think I know what that’s talking about. In Jason’s myth, he had to yoke a field with the teeth of (if memory serves) fire-breathing oxen. I don’t remember what planting the teeth did, but I’m guessing it wasn’t anything good.
HAH! Saber-toothed tiger kitties popped out
The General talks about mortals the same way I talk about fanfiction and anime
OH FUCK THE NEMEAN LION
“Sometimes mortals can be more horrible than monsters.” Truth.
Wait… what’s going on with Bianca? There’s something fucky going on with her memory.
“‘Bianca,’ Zoë said. ‘How long ago…’ Her voice faltered.” FOR FUCK’S SAKE, RICK!
Ain’t no way this friendly homeless guy isn’t some kind of hell monster.
Oh. I stand corrected. Not a hell monster. Probably a god. The gods love disguising themselves as old people to test mortals
The Mountain of Despair. Sounds fun. I wonder if this is the mountain Prometheus was chained to, since it’s powered by titan magic and all that.
Ladon… I know that name. I recognize that, but I can’t for the life of me remember his myth or anything about him.
*in reference to one of Percy's dreams* Oh, wait. Is this Jason and Medea?
Oh, nope. It was Zoë. I figured she had some kind of bad break with a boyfriend or something, but I dismissed it at first because I figured she was too young. But I guess if she was around during ancient Greek times, that sort of thing doesn’t matter.
Oh, hey! I once visited Cloudcroft, New Mexico! It was a nice little place.
“I was never very comfortable talking one-on-one with girls anyway…” Okay, Percy, you and I both know that is a lie. Annabeth is, like, your best friend.
"'Bianca,' I said. 'That hotel you stayed at. Was it possibly called the Lotus Hotel and Casino?'" Oh no.
Seventy years?!
Oh, fuck.
99% sure Aphrodite is the one in the car.
WAIT, HOLD UP! IF BIANCA AND NICO WERE BORN MORE THAN 70 YEARS AGO, THAT MEANS THEY WERE BORN BEFORE THE BIG 3'S OATH, RIGHT?! SO DOES THAT MEAN MY THEORY ABOUT HADES BEING THEIR GOD PARENT IS RIGHT?!?!??!! OHHHHHHH, SHIIIIIITTTTT
"When she smiled at me, just for a moment she looked a little like Annabeth." AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Aphrodite is the patron goddess of shippers.
What the hell, Aphrodite, chill, lady.
"You act like it was real." Percy, this is Greek mythology. Every single star/constellation was either a person or an animal before this whole mess.
"It... it was for Nico. It was the only statue he didn't have." OH MY GOD!! ToT
"If anything happens, give that to Nico. Tell him... tell him I'm sorry." WHY??!!?!?? LITERALLY DON'T!!!!!
"Here we were in the desert. And Bianca di Angelo was gone." WHAT THE FUCK?!!??!!! WHY DO YOU HATE ME!???!!??
No, but please tell me she's not dead. The prophecy just said "lost", not dead. And there's no body, so she could still be alive. Rick hasn't killed anybody yet, Bianca cannot be the first. I refuse.
The Hesperides! That's why Ladon sounded so familiar! He was the dragon!
"'But--' Gurgle, gurgle, the naiad spoke in my mind." RICK!!!!!! FINISH YOUR GODDAMN SCENES FOR ONCE!!!!! THIS IS THE KIND OF STRESS AND ANTICIPATION THAT MAKES PEOPLE LOSE HAIR!!!!
I like that Grover, Percy and Thalia actually listened to Annabeth ramble about her special interest enough that they can just recall random facts like that. It's an adorable little friendship detail, but also fucking sad. I miss Annabeth.
Hah. "Dam". Let these kids swear. They deserve it.
"'Nah,' I said. 'Not that high.'" Aww, Percy's a good friend.
Hah. Statue fucking.
Oh no! Is Bessie the monster! No! But she's so cute!
PLEASE DON'T KILL THE BABY COW SNAKE
"'This is Atlas's mountain,' Zoë said." LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO
"'Yes,' Zoë said bleakly. 'Atlas is my father.'" THE GAME JUST FUCKING CHANGED
*after finishing chapter 18* ......... Fuck, man.
Wait, why isn't Hades a part of the Twelve Olympians? And why haven't we heard any mention of Demeter's demigod children? I can't remember the last time the Demeter Cabin was even mentioned, if it ever was.
Well, I guess Thalia joining the Hunters is a pretty roundabout way to have the prophecy be about Percy.
"But I will be watching, Percy Jackson. I do not approve of your friendship with my daughter." Well, then you're gonna hate what happens later.
Aww. Percy and Annabeth have matching battle scars. Sort of. Still sweet.
Oh, no, Nico.... Baby.....
"It was a statue of Hades, Lord of the Dead." OH FUCKING SHIT

Hello!! I just want to say that I’m obsessed with your Atlantis au. It’s brilliant!! I have a quick question and I apologize if you’ve answered it already! For the Atlantis au what is everyone’s name and age? Thanks again for writing this au! And you can just ignore my question if you want! I’m just curious! 😁
Ahhhh hello! Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy it <3
I haven’t answered this yet and am more than happy to. :)
So I’ve already stated Wind and Twi’s ages for a prompt fill, but I’ll explain a little the reasoning. I’m also only doing the boys… mostly because I haven’t fully done anything for all the girls. Some of these I only decide when it becomes necessary. So for those not familiar… in the movie, Kida says she’s like almost 9,000 years old. We know she was a small child when the city sank and that she’s biologically in her mid-20s at the time of events in the movie. This is where I draw my inspiration.
Wind, AKA Leon (Latin, lion) - Red Lion Mask
Role: Border Guardian // Age: 340 - 624 years old
Physically he looks 16 years old, but having been born several hundred years after their area sank as an effect on his aging. It’s much slower hence why at over 600, he still looks 16. He also has the brain age of a 16 yr old boy. So expect dumb boy things out of him.
Twilight, AKA Lykos (Latin, Wolf) - Grey Wolf Mask
Role: Child of the Pillars // Age: 150 - 411 years old
Mentally 19 yrs old, physically 19 years old, chronologically like 6 - well maybe not exactly, but point is that it’s really murky. Technically a ‘foreigner’ but the story of his arrival is a bit cloudy for most. He pretty much just appeared, sans the memories of a roughly 7 month span prior to his arrival. This is because of the nature of what happened when The Pillars yoinked him from the Surface.
Sky, AKA Caelum (Latin, Sky/Heaven) - Sheer White Half Face Veil
Role: Temple Sky Knight // Age: 1,200 - 1,500 years old
Looks like he’s in his early 20s. Sky Knight’s don’t wear masks because it’s seen as dishonorable to wear them in the temple. They wear half face veils to show their piety while also keeping their eyes free of anything that could blind them to potential dangers.
Legend, AKA Veteran - Bunny Mask (in Pink)
Role: Royal Cartographer // Age: [Redacted]
Physically appears around the same age as Twilight. His true age is [Redacted] due to a disparity on when he actually arrived. He technically doesn’t do exactly what is usually expected of those with his sort of mask. Instead of holing up in the city, he goes out to explore and charts all their maps.
Hyrule, AKA Rue - Korok Leaf Mask
Role: Apothecary (Apprentice) // Age: 490 - 711 years old
He’s physically around the age of 18. Similarly to Twi and Legend. He wanders the islands and caves a lot, hunting for herbs and things for remedies.
Time, AKA Celatum (Latin, hidden/secret) - Mask Unknown
Role: Advisor to the Queen // Age: 2,000+ years old
He was in his early teens when the city sank. Hasn’t appeared to age since he reached the appearance of roughly early to mid 30s. No one has seen his mask, usually wears either a beaded veil or sheer eye band in Court.
Four AKA Vir (Latin, man) - Mouse Mask
Role: Blacksmith // Age: 2,000+
He looks like he’s 16, so same age as Wind. He was a small baby when the city sank. Doesn’t usually wear his mask due to concerns it will catch fire.
Wild AKA Trux (Latin, Wild/fierce) - Unknown
Role: Unknown // Age: 18 years
He’s new to their way of life so he’s not in the same boat of being centuries old. Yet.

Bonus!
I finally bit the bullet and did an updated group photo for gen 3 because I wanted to replace the header I have for this account right now. I'm still stuck on what to do for a profile picture, but I'll figure it out eventually I guess. When planning out the posing for this, I was inspired by @duggardata to do some info points for my sims, so I'm going to be doing some basic and random facts about these little bunches of pixels to end the year. This ended up being a mini thesis, so grab a snack if you plan on scrolling down, and I'll put the post under the cut to save your scrolling the TL. When I started this it was meant to be a small cute post with random information, and has now become an actual analysis. If I've missed anything or if i find more that I can talk about, there definitely can be more of these later down the line.
I'm going to queue this for 11:30pm my timezone, so I wish you all a very happy new year, may you get everything you desire and more!
Tumblr media
This is all 36 people that make up the 3rd generation. I've arranged them in birth order, so this is technically chronological I guess. I did mess up when I got to the end because I forgot about Ashton (Allan & Casandra's 13th - the irony 😂) and plopped her further down than she should be.
Names L-R:
Back: Adalynn Leonard, Barrett Collins, Macie Collins, Carter Paulson, Abbey Hill, Brittany Dahlmann, Zoe Moreno, Valentina Townsend, Alan Paulson, Tanner Collins, Maggie Wright, Celeste Paulson.
Middle: Kyra Shearer, Reece Collins, Kristyn Crocker, Sabrina Crawford, Beckett Collins, Amira Eichelburg, Priscilla Roberts, Annette Collins, Jarrod Paulson, James Hunt, Charles Collins, Zachary Paulson.
Front: Rory Godwin, Ruby Rae Godwin, Parker Collins, Ava Grace Godwin, Conner Paulson, Jarrett Paulson, Gabriela Hunt, James Lee Collins, Matthew Collins, Ashton Collins, Amelia Godwin, Archie Collins.
Now onto the stats!
Basics
Out of the 36 :-
Men: 17
Women: 19
The split between men and women is 49/51 (don't quote me on my maths, I dropped maths classes as soon as I was able to 😂) Within the siblings groups it's definitely not as even, though the final results even themselves out. Gender roles are heavily enforced in these households, so ones that are female heavy (Allan and Casandra's 8 girls to 5 boys) compared to those that are male heavy (Claire and Ryan's 6 boys to 4 girls) will have different experiences. Having girls being born earlier in the birth order definitely helps lighten the load when there's a new children every other year.
Marriage
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Marriage is definitely a stage of life that fundies emphasise for their kids, with purity culture pushing for them to be married as soon as possible to (A) prevent sin and (B) produce children as fast as possible. Of course, there's those for whom marriage doesn't happen at the desired time, but in times like this the advice is to wait "on the Lord's timing".
For those eligible for marriage out of the 36:
21 are married
1 is engaged
1 is in a courtship
The average age for marriage is 22. The youngest age being 18 (Maggie, Reece, Priscilla) and the oldest being 29 (Abbey)
I don't have exact data for the courtships so I can't do an average, but I can say the longest relationship prior to engagement was Abbey and Adam's - they dated for two years before getting engaged.
Speaking of dating, fundies and many other conservative christians push courting rather than dating. They reason that it's more serious and with the purpose of marriage, and if you add in purity culture there's the argument that they're saving 'pieces of their heart' for their future spouse. Out of the 23 couples who are either married or on their way there, only 2 couples kissed before marriage: Abbey & Adam and Brittany & Colton. These two couples weren't held to as strict standards as their cousins due to their parents outlook on things, they already knew that their daughters didn't personally agree with the convictions on purity (plus with brittany marrying into a well known political family, they saw it as a means to an end 😂) The other 19 couples (soon to be 20) saved their first kiss for the altar, as will the one courting couple (Zachary & Kelsey). Only 3 couples had no touch courtships the whole way through (and this number is debatable because I myself couldn't keep a storyline straight hehe - but from the character personalities and different plotlines let's agree with 3): Reece & Stacie, Alan & Tessa, and Tanner & Tabitha. In all 3 cases it was the girls family that set the stricter rules, which is more common as girls are engineered to guard their purity.
As if common with real life fundies, the older the kids get the faster they get in courtships that end in marriage. This is one of that things that you can't really predict since people's stories are different, Adalynn was the first one to get married 13 years ago, and the next family wedding was Barrett's 3 years later. In the first 9 years since the 3rd generation started getting married, 8 couples were married. The beginning of the next decade is when things started to happen in a flurry, 5 couples got married with four of them having their first child in the same year (this wont make sense, but if i try to make it fit real world parameters i'll acc go insane HAHA - this is fictional so it's allowed not to make sense) The most couples to get married in a year is 7 couples, and with the 13 left I doubt that there will be the same back to back that was happening earlier. The girls have gotten married faster than the boys, but that was to be expected when you consider that gender roles play heavily into fundie culture. It's easier to marry off a daughter to be a wife and mother than having to marry of a son, she will be provided for but he needs to be in the place where he can provide for a family that has the potential to grow exponentially. Obviously because this is a game where reality is suspended, the men in the game don't have to do much to be providers.
Education
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Education is important as it shapes a person's thoughts and opinions, therefore fundies are more than likely to homeschool their children so that they are in control of what their child is exposed to. For those who think total at home education isn't where the Lord is leading them, there are other options available such as a homeschool co-op and private christian schools, with the last resort being the public education system.
The 2nd generation are quite diverse with their belief systems, influencing their thoughts and opinions around how they educated their children - and let's be honest, finances do play a certain role here whether you like it or not.
Allan & Casandra - Casandra totally homeschooled all 13 of their children through K-12.
Branden & Lea - Lea homeschooled their 3 children from kindergarten through to grade 8, and for high school the kids attended a private christian school.
Claire and Ryan - Claire totally homeschooled/currently homeschools their 10 children.
Danielle and Sebastian - Danielle totally homeschooled/homeschools their two children.
Elaine and Taylor - Elaine homeschooled/homeschools their 5 children through a homeschool co-op that she taught at prior to having children. The kids are educated by various teachers that specialise in different subjects using an approved curriculum.
Fletcher and Cara - They've chosen to send their son to a private christian K-12 school.
Grayson and Keira - Keira homeschools the kids until they're in grade 8, then they send the kids to a private christian school for high school.
When it comes to university, fundies definitely don't push it onto their children as they see it as a place where they'd be brainwashed. As the times have changed, there have been more and more conservative christian universities that have opened up that cater to fundies, so there are more fundies getting a tertiary education.
Right now there are only 8 out of the 36 sims that have gotten degrees or are actively pursuing them:
Beckett - He's the only one of his siblings to attach themselves to a university, even if his degree was in Bible & Missions at a very conservative bible college. His siblings' skill sets are either self taught or they were mentored by someone, though his sister Amira is doing an associates degree at some point (I just haven't figured out in what yet).
Abbey - She has an distinguished degree in biology and currently works as a marine biologist. I sent her and her sister to the in game university and physically sent them to classes and everything (which is something I'm never doing again HAHA). Back then I also didn't have the thought to send them to a christian university, so let's pretend she just skipped everything evolutionary for her degree.
Brittany - She has a distinguished degree in communications and worked as a political commentator before getting married. She and her sister were the first girls to go to university from their cohort (as well as the first to not be homeschooled), especially since they're in the first phase of the 3rd generation when the 'vibe' in their extended family was very conservative.
Tanner - He has his MD and is now working as a doctor (using the in-game university mechanics) he was also the first boy to attend a secular university, but there obviously weren't as many opinions on him doing it than on his sisters doing it.
James - He has his degree in Bible Counselling with a focus on Youth and Ministry from a local bible college in his area. It was a two year degree to help create missionaries that could be sent out to help churches. He met his wife whilst at university and they married as soon as they graduated, they now live in henley on Bagley as missionaries assigned to help grow a church there. His sister Gabriella doesn't know what she wants to do (i also have no clue), so that will be revealed in due time.
Kyra - She got her degree in early education and is now a kindergarten teacher at a private christian school, she even met her husband at the school through his niblings. Her mother (Elaine) being a teacher and her father also being college educated was definitely an inspiration to her. Being educated in a homeschool co-op also helped her realise her love of teaching.
Rory - Rory is currently at a local university getting a law degree (for my game i'm using a mix of education systems, incase you get confused) and is currently enjoying it. He initially wanted to join the police force like his uncle and cousin, but decided on enrolling in university instead. His parent's are encouraging him down the political route, but with a law degree he can do anything.
Ruby Rae - She's currently in nursing school and is enjoying learning the curriculum. In my head she's always been that character that I'd send off to nursing school, especially with her uncle marrying a nurse, it just felt meant to be for her character. I initially envisioned one of allan and casandra's girls maybe going to nursing school too, but in the end it didn't pan out.
The only ones I can say are definitely attending college in some form are James Lee (Fletcher), Matthew and Archie (Grayson). They'll be like their parents and go to fairly conservative universities and go on to live your average fundie-lite conservative life.
Children
CW: There will be mentions of pregnancy, problems with getting and staying pregnant, pregnancy loss, and infertility of various kinds.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fundies think of children as gifts from God, with many taking that ideology and running with it, usually ending up with children in the double digits if their fertility agrees with it. The notion of being 'quiverfull' implies that a couple don't use any methods of contraception, with the idea that if God wants them to have a child then they will conceive and birth one. 6 couples of the 2nd generation (Allan to Elaine, then Grayson) were all open to whatever kids the Lord would give them, and they ended up with a variety of children - one couple having 13 and another having just 2. Life throws various curveballs, or as they say "the Lord works in mysterious ways", so there can be many plans that don't work out - let's not forget that people's fertility isn't always textbook. Casandra had 2 miscarriages that I didn't plan in game, the mod I have gets triggered by certain conditions and the alert was a surprise to me. I don't roll for pregnancy losses, unless difficulties getting and/or staying pregnant are part of that character's story for whatever reason e.g. Madelynn, Stacie, etc.
Out of the 21 married couples, only 4 don't have children: Abbey & Adam, Beckett & Mandy, James & Emma, and the newlyweds Parker and Lana.
Abbey and Adam - They're not quiverfull so they've got a timeline for when they'll have children, but they definitely want them.
Beckett and Mandy - They've been married for around 4 years and have not yet had children, they're marked as a quiverfull couple so they're not preventing pregnancy, there's just no children as of yet. Honestly speaking, I haven't thought that far about the ways that children appear in their storyline but I have 3-4 options about where things could go.
James and Emma - These two are in the same boat as Beckett and Mandy in terms of their views on children, they want them but haven't 'been blessed' with them yet. In the actual game they're side characters, so I let the 'Neighbourhood Stories' take over their story unless I see it necessary to intervene.
Parker and Lana - They're newlyweds, so there could be a pregnancy announcement from them any day now. Though I have taken real life parameters into consideration with how fast a couple does conceive, since in real life it can take the average 'healthy' couple up to a year to get pregnant. So you'll just have to wait and see when Lana will be posting a sonogram 😂
Of the 17 couples that have children, they have birthed a whopping 50 children that make up the ever growing 4th generation. There are currently only 2 pregnant women that are gestating 3 children, which is I think the lowest to ever happen by holiday season. The speed at which they have children has definitely sped up the more couples get married. When Adalynn got married in 2010, she had cousins still being born, so for the first five years (2010 - 2015) the 10 grandchildren that were born came from her, Barrett, and Valentina (let's not forget that Kyleigh had triplets then twins back to back, so she went from zero to five children in 3 years)
The 10 children born in the 4 years after that are from Adalynn, Barrett, Carter, Valentina, and Brittany. The next 3 years (2020-2023; i use years to count so i don't get lost, but I make it a point not to mention years in the posts cause that adds opportunities for confusion 😂) were a wedding and baby boom, bringing us to the present day. 2020 had 5 couples marry and birth four children, 2021 holds the record for the most weddings and the most children born: 7 couples married and there were 12 children born. 2023 isn't finished in the game, but so far there has been 1 couple married with another set to marry at the end of the year. So far in 2023 there have been 5 children born, and the pregnancies that are in game aren't set to give birth this year so that's the number for that year.
With all these births happening in waves essentially, how fast are these sims multiplying? In true duggardata fashion I've got the intervals ready for you:
Adalynn & Mason - 9 children in 13 years of marriage: 7 singletons and 1 pair of twins, 8 boys and 1 girl.
Skills
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fundies are known to have their kids learn a skills, usually in the form of musical instruments. From my own childhood as well as research I've gathered via many hours of watching and reading, a musical instrument is the best thing to learn as the 'easiest' way to glorify God is through music. Music plays an important role in worship services, and so having children that can play instruments well allows for them to 'be of use' for worship; families also capitalise on said talent and travel around playing music as a ministry.
The skillset of the 2nd generation does play a role into how their children ended up:
Allan worked as a carpenter (and by carpenter i mean he reached level 10 of the woodworking skill and would just make things to sell) whilst being a Pastor, before retiring and working as a Pastor fulltime. He didn't learn how to play an instrument as he was focused on learning a skill that would help provide for a family.
Branden found his skills in writing, he worked as a writer in the writer field and wrote books that now provide him with royalties, like his brother, he wasn't enrolled in music lessons as his parents had other priorities set for him.
Claire was enrolled in music lessons and found she had a real skills for playing the piano as well as writing music, her mother also had her and her sisters learn homemaking skills such as gardening, cooking, balancing a checkbook and how to run a household. Claire put being a wife and mother first, but also continues to use her skills to minister for the Lord. She's become well known for her performance as well as her hymnal music arrangements (think Kim Collingsworth-esque vibe) and also teaches music as various music camps from time to time.
Danielle learnt how to play the violin as well as learning how to be a homemaker, and as she got married later in life she was the person who stepped in to run the house after her mother passed. She uses her skills whenever asked, like playing at church or at various worship events, but she's mainly focused on gardening and baking.
Elaine learnt how to play the piano and used to play at church and various events, but found her joy was in teaching. She took over homeschooling her younger siblings and went on to earn her teaching qualifications.
Fletcher was taught the piano by his older sisters, but lessons weren't pushed on him by his parents. He went on to focus on fitness and joined the police force after finishing highschool.
Grayson was more book focused and didn't learn an instrument, similar to Elaine he focused more on books and studying and ended up going to medical school.
Harley is the youngest girl and learnt how to play the guitar as a girl, as she was the youngest she didn't have to perform as often as the older siblings did. She went on to get a degree in Fine Arts and now works as the editor in chief at San Myshuno's biggest fashion magasine.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's easiest to display the information based on the sibling order from gen 2, so here's the list of the various skillsets of the 3rd generation:
A -
Casandra being your typical conservative fundie woman, made sure that all the kids got music lessons, whatever she couldn't teach herself she found someone to teach them. Piano: Since Casandra plays the piano she taught the kids until they were in their teens, then if they chose to continue they could get lessons with Claira. Adalynn, Macie, Zoe, Beckett, Charles and Ashton chose to learn the piano and so far Zoe is the only one who has taken that and made it a career of sorts like her aunt Claire. Violin: Macie also chose to learn violin, with Amira, Priscilla, and Annette also learning the violin. Guitar: The boys mostly chose to learn the guitar, Barrett, Reece, and Parker all chose the guitar, with Maggie being the only girl to choose to learn the guitar. Of the 13 kids to learn a musical instrument, only Zoe has taken it and made it something that monetarily supports her.
B -
Lea learned how to play piano growing up, and enrolled all three of her children in piano lessons. Abbey, Brittany, and Tanner all had piano lessons until they were in their teens and focused on different extracurricular activities once they joined the private christian school.
C -
Claire made sure all her children know an instrument, the four girls (Valentina, Celeste, Kristyn, Sabrina) all know both the piano and the violin, with the 6 boys all learning piano and Carter and Alan also learning how to play the guitar. There were many suggestions of them starting a family band, but Claire and Ryan didn't feel that the Lord was leading them in that direction.
D -
Both James and Emma have learnt to play the piano, James' wife Emma can play the piano, violin, and the flute and has her degree (from a biblical college) in music with a focus on worship music.
E -
Elaine put all the kids into either piano or violin lessons, Kyra did lessons in both until she was a teenager, Rory did piano until he was a teenager, Ruby Rae did violin lessons and still plays at church, Ava Grace continues to play Piano, and Amelia still does violin lessons.
F -
Fletcher and Cara put their son into organised sports, so no music lessons this side.
G -
Keira wanted her boys to have some musical knowledge, so Matthew does guitar lessons and Archie does piano lessons.
That's all I've got for now, but as I was doing this I definitely found more things that I could write about in a few months. I hope you enjoy this!

you and your anons discussing intellectual questions and here i am asking: is Bruce a dog or a cat person? ( lets ignore the very obvious joke that can be made here 😭) i really wanna know. and is there a panel of him petting a kitten.
A very valid question, and I’m glad to get an ask regarding Bruce! By his choice of romantic partners you might think he'd favor cats, but he's quite famously a dog person. He's had Ace, a German Shepard, for many decades, who's also the Bat-Hound. (I used to love his adventures with Krypto as a kid.) And, he's also got Titus, a Great Dane, though Titus is technically Damian's. Bruce has shown a lot of affection for Titus too, though.
The Wayne household does also have a cat called Alfred (...and a cow, and whatever Goliath is, and a turkey). But all of these pets are Damian's, who's quite famous for his love of animals. And in the end, it was Alfred who took care of these animals the most; Bruce hasn't interacted a lot with the cat, at least not on the page.
...That's the short, rational version of this answer. I somehow ended up going into Ace and Titus' backstories, plus I went on a tangent about Golden Age Bruce and cats. So I'm putting the rest under the cut [sigh].
In current continuity, Ace has quite the interesting origin; he was an attack dog, first found and named by Joker (as shown in Batman: Urban Legends #15):
Tumblr media
But, as shown in Batman (2016) Annual 1, Ace was the only attack dog to survive one of the fights Joker arranged, and was left behind by Joker for dead:
Tumblr media
It's actually Alfred who wants to keep Ace, and tries to train him. Bruce says that Joker broke the dog, and that it cannot be saved. But he clearly warms up to Ace, and becomes quite attached, after Ace proves himself to be loyal and valuable:
Tumblr media
Later on in, in Batman (2016) #40, he even says he misses Ace while looking very sad about it:
Tumblr media
Sorry for the unwarranted paranthesis, I really like Ace's current origin :)) But to hammer it in, Bruce is also the one to gift a dog to Damian, his son -- as shown in Batman and Robin (2011) #2 and #3:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Damian also takes a while to warm up to the dog (much like his father with Ace), eventually calling him Titus.
After Alfred's death, the animals become quite the bittersweet companions, since he'd been the one to take care of them the most. in Detective Comics (2016) #1018, Bruce finds comfort in having them around, but he's still grieving:
Tumblr media
And in Detective Comics (2016) #1033, he takes all the pets and moves them to his new place, even Bat-Cow. It's all extra sad, because Damian (the original owner of most) left, not wanting to be Robin anymore.
Tumblr media
I guess my point with this is... Bruce chooses dogs as companions, most of the time. He's shown petting them and playing with them, but I can't recall any instance of that with Alfred the Cat. In current continuity, he associates the dogs with Alfred especially, which gives them extra emotional meaning. After all, Alfred was the one to insist he give Ace a chance, and once Bruce stopped being closed off, he ended up very attached to him -- and with a love for dogs in general, I suppose.
...This all isn't to say Bruce doesn't like cats at all. He's dating Catwoman, and I just have to show you these panels of Bruce saving one of Selina's cats from gunfire, in Batman: Year One #3:
Tumblr media
The faces this poor cat makes are hilarious. Sure, he saved her, but at what cost.
Also, I guess Golden Age Bruce wasn't terribly fond of cats, and it's really funny. Catwoman sicks tigers and all sorts of felines on him, and one time she leaves him tied up with cats crawling over him -- as shown in Detective Comics (1937) #203:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Love that he keeps catnip in his utility belt, and that he ends up using the cats to escape. Holy adaptability, Batman!
Also, while going on this unhinged search for interactions between Bruce Wayne and cats, I have found... the funniest thing on the planet. Apparently Superman tried to get Batman executed for witchcraft in World's Finest Comics (1941) #186.
Yeah. They travel back in time and then Bruce makes out with some hot babes which gets Clark jealous and he decides to frame Bruce as a 'servant of Satan'. And he does so... by using his power of super-ventriloquism and "throwing his voice" within a black cat:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So. Another reason for Bruce to not like cats, I guess, if they got used to frame him for witchcraft??
Tumblr media
(I've been laughing for 5 minutes straight, oh my god. Fully recommend reading this.)
So. I don't know this turned into an insane hunt for interactions between Bruce Wayne and dogs & cats, but I hope this was entertaining, anon! No panels of Bruce petting kittens, but hey, he saves one from being shot. Though obviously, if anyone has any other additions, please feel free to tack them on.

Hazformers Ship: Sarimily or EmiSari (And Theory About It's The Boy Ars Goetia That Has The Baby...)
[Note: Reading This Is Optional, The Hazformers AU is thanks to Blitzy-Blitzwing. also references to some episodes of Hazbin Hotel Season 1 will be brought up, so make sure to watch all the episodes first before reading this. also will talk about a theory that has to do with possibly about Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, and it reminds me of Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents when Poof was going to be born....so yeah, Male Pregnancy will be mentioned.]
yeah, it might be a weird idea for a ship but what if Sari did end up going to the Human's Heaven because well, her spark is also a hybrid between a human soul and cybertronian spark, so it is like a techno-organic spark.
and during her time in Heaven, and besides noticing the corruption and not fully trusting The Exorcist Angels, Adam or Sera.
she ended up becoming close with Emily, and if Heavenborns do age but stop at a certain point but still carry some form of Elder Wisdom.
it could be possible that if Sari died at 18 or like late 19 and early 20s, and Emily is 18 or late 19 early 20s in a biological way but could be like 120 years old, like late 190 years and early 120 years.
Sari still being able to age, could have to do with the celestial powers of the allspark, maybe.
but like picture if Sari did meet with her Autobot Friends again after running away with Emily from Heaven and going to the Hazbin Hotel and not knowing the Autobots and Decepticons are there.
both the Autobots that are her friends are in the same room as The Decepticons and even Charlie, Vaggie, Angel, Niffty, Husk, Sir Pentious, Cherri Bomb, Alastor and Lucifer.
and Sari introduces Emily in the same way Charlie did when introducing Vaggie to Lucifer as her girlfriend.
Bumblebee being well himself, might not understand the whole "girlfriend" thing....he might misinterpret it meaning that Sari found another friend that happens to be a girl...
Bumblebee you precious clueless adorkable honeybee...
even Ratchet, Prowl, Blurr, Optimus, Megatron, Blitzwing, Shockwave, Soundwave, Lugnut, Lockdown and everyone else would understand the meaning of what Sari was saying when introducing Emily as her girlfriend.
Sari could be Biromantic and Demisexual.
I mean it can be possible for some people to be Heteroromantic & Demisexual as well, as well as being Heteroromantic-Ace or Heteroromantic-Aceflux but try telling that to both sides who have some problem with Aces...
if Sari's friends never came back and she had to discover new things about herself alone, like the whole Megatron technically being the one who gave birth to her through budding that happen in Sumdac's Secret Lab.
the other parts Sari would of figured out could be that she is romantically attracted to both guys and gals.
like before meeting Emily, and falling in love with her, which by the way would be Fanon Timeline only and it isn't canon.
Sari could of suspected she might be on the Asexuality Spectrum, but wasn't sure.
even if Megatron (who I'm still gonna Crossover OTP ship him with Carmilla Carmine making them Megamilla) has no idea he is Sari's Cybertronian Parent, he could be supportive.
plus if it was like in Steven Universe, if Sari and Emily ever fused their fusion would be a embodiment of their love and would be a relationship.
but fusion, both romantic and platonic isn't just a Gem thing.
because Tigatron and Airazor forming into Tigerhawk, even if at first it wasn't of their free will and choice, but they took their fused body back when their sparks became one and went into their now fusion body.....so yeah, Tigerhawk is a romantic fusion and came way before Garnet, but both Garnet and Tigerhawk will be my favorite romantic fusions.
I think if Sari and Emily did fuse, they would be what Steven would describe as a Giant Woman, who will have wings, four eyes, but there being a fifth that is closed and possibly other eyes, and there being four arms but still two legs, but the fusion form being able to use a default form where they can appear with just two arms along with just having two legs.
the ship name for Sari x Emily, can either be Sarimily or EmiSari.
also even if Clara from Season 1 and Pilot are the same but difference design, I like to view the pilot version as being a third daughter and being possibly the middle child, while the Clara that shows up in Season 1, is the youngest.
like we could call the Pilot-Clara by a different name while the Other version is still called Clara...
like Carmilla's Three Daughters are Odette, Clara and Clarice.
Clarice being The Pilot-Clara, and she could be in The Fanon Timeline, the middle sibling, like Odette being the eldest sibling and Clara being the youngest.
if Megatron and Carmilla did get married, even if it was only in Fanon.
Soundwave (who I'm still gonna view as being separate from the Other one who was born on Cybertron and is also known as Soundblaster...) would not only have Sari as a big sister who he shares a birthday with, but he would get more big sisters...
and if Carmilla did have three daughters, and Sari did end up marrying Emily....that would give Soundwave three step-sisters and one sister-in-law, which adding Sari that would give Soundwave about....Five Older Sisters.
like it be interesting if Sari felt guilty about how she treated him before and may understand he might never forgive her or want to form a sibling bond, because they were both technically made by Megatron, even if the situation of their creation from him was different.
but it would still be interesting if Sari got really protective of Soundwave, like in a protective big sister wanting to protect her baby brother way.
like just because he might not want anything to do with her, and she can respect that, but it doesn't mean she will stand by and let anyone mess with her baby brother and if she forms a sisterly bond with Odette, Clarice and Clara, who could end up bonding with Soundwave and viewing him like the baby brother they never had...
well anyone who dares try anything with their precious baby brother, would have to answer to those four...who could be way scarier than Shockwave, for all we know.
I wasn't sure about the name Clarice for the Pilot-Clara, but I think I'm starting to like it a bit more as well as the Fanon idea about Clarice being Odette and Clara's sister and Carmilla's third daughter.
anyway besides the whole ship idea about Sari x Emily, and Sari coming out to her Autobot friends that she is Biromantic and the whole her introducing Emily as her girlfriend, and the only one not getting the full meaning of that would be Bumblebee...and it has to be explained to him, because he might only understand some romantic relationships that seem similar to cybertronian courtships.
so he could mistake the whole Sari saying that Emily is her girlfriend, meaning she is a Gal Buddy and thus platonic friend...
Bumblebee might not be 100% naive and he could understand some form of romantic relationships, but might not get some stuff right away.
so Sari would have to help with explaining in a way that Bumblebee will understand, and that is by saying that in Cybertronian terms, Emily is her Femfriend, which then Bumblebee will finally understand.
ya know like Mechfriend would be similar to Boyfriend, but if a Cybertronian is Nonbinary, they would be Partner, but only some who go by She/They or He/They would end up going by both Partner and Girlfriend or Boyfriend.
anyway as for the whole Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss Theories...
it could be possible it is The Boy Ars Goetia that has the baby...
you know like how it is the Boy Fairy that has the baby like in the Fairly Odd Parents, but oddly enough it is the Girl Anti-Fairy that has the baby.
like in theory, it can be like the Asari from Mass Effect who can have children with any species or gender.
so Stella may claim she had the egg, but she likely didn't and only thought she did and her brother and the rest of her family NEVER gave her the talk.
Stolas was possibly the one to have the egg in the first place, meaning he was technically pregnant.
it could be possible that Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel, was the one who was pregnant with Charlie, not Lilith.
while he could end up turning out to be possibly Cain's Bio-Dad, even if it is a Hazbin Hotel version of Cain and possibly ending up being Charlie's Older Half-Brother...
him causing Eve to become pregnant, while still ending up pregnant himself, could mean that Charlie's Dad is able to make someone else pregnant but also become so himself...
Lucifer likely had mood swings and was acting in a way that drove Lilith a bit crazy but like also made her tired.
and before Stolas laid the egg that would hatch and become Octavia, he likely got mood swings as well, and would be very aggressive to Stella one minute but then crying and apologizing the next.
the reasons why Fizz and Ozzie hadn't end up in the same way, and Fizz having to deal with Ozzie's mood swings and weird food cravings, could be because they are careful...that and Ozzie may not of told Fizz about how he can get pregnant, but he makes sure to prevent it.
so it could be possible that Blitz and Stolas could become parents, and giving Octavia a half-sibling....
Stella could of been asleep when Stolas had the egg that would hatch and become Octavia.
Andrealphus you cold heart himbo, ya need to give your sister talk, and I don't mean the other talk ya had with her, about calling off Striker. but telling her the truth that it is the Boy Ars Goetia that has the baby, NOT the girl...
if it is possibly true, then Andrea not giving his sister the talk could of been well, because he never really considered he had to be the one to give it, and may have thought that it would be his parents who would explain to her.
plus it could be possible the female Ars Goetia could get pregnant as well, but something happen to cause them to become not able to and the only thing left was for them to get a male pregnant.
and in theory, the only female and well nonbinary-gal ones who are technically Demi-Goetia who can still possibly get pregnant, but are half-human, live on Earth...
(feel free to skip some of this and keep a eye out for the bold letters...) yeah if it truly turns out the Phenex from this universe makes up one of my angelic parents (even if I still am biologically my human dad's daughter) and one of my soul-parents is another Earth Angel...and well anyway it could be possible that some angels and well even half ones who are human, come from a type of egg that the soul is placed in, well a small soul orb that would end up growing in the egg and then hatch.
if Phenex did break off a piece of themselves, it could be the part that faced the truth that they aren't returning to heaven anytime soon or in the years they believe...
and even if some might tell me I wasn't a accident, I know technically I was...and yeah for all I know it could be possible that the Stolas from this universe had to watch over and protect me until someone finally got me, which might of took a lot longer than it should have...
and if that whole thing is linked to a certain part in one of my past lives, which I'm lucky I don't have full memories of...
I am not going to forgive the group of humans that were involved...
forgiveness can't just be well, as fast or as easy as some might think, plus one thing is that the ones who need forgiveness would need to feel true remorse and understand from the other person's point of view not just there own, even if they might not fully understand it but could try to.
but there is just some things that can't be forgiven, even if your told you have to, and my past life selves had been hurt more than once possibly and it might be a good thing I don't have full memories of it, and it can be possible some memories could be copies from my Earth Angel Mom, who may have fragmented a part of herself which would become me.
there were some videos that talked about a Soul Resetting, didn't really watch the videos, only read the names about it...
it makes me wonder about what would happen to me if my Soul Resets, will I end up breaking and falling apart, like how Ruby and Sapphire started to fall apart when Garnet learned the truth about Rose or the time when Pearl tricked Garnet into forming Sardonyx.
will I cease to be me, or will I still be me but something will feel off.
I don't want to cease to be myself, I can accept that I'm some kind of soul fusion, and I guess it could be possible I am a relationship, possibly...not sure.
not everyone has to agree about that, plus it could be possible that some who recall only small bits and pieces of past life memories but not fully, they could end up remembering memories that aren't theirs but belong to their soul-parent or soul-parents.
anyway back to the whole theory about Stolas and Lucifer being the ones who became pregnant and having Octavia and Charlie...
and if you think about it, if Megatron is Sari's Other Dad and he did have her in the secret lab when he was in some kind of stasis coma.
Megatron was technically pregnant as well, of course in the Shattered Glass Universe version it was Optimus who had went through the budding stage.
meaning that SG-Sari is SG-Optimus's Daughter, while in the timeline where Sari is from, she is the daughter of Megatron.
maybe sometime I will do a ship drawing of Sari x Emily, not sure if I will add that to "Falling For The Angel In Disguise" but if I did, that would mean that Swindle would get a rival.
that story is still going to be on a bit of a hiatus, along with the "Spinelluva Boss: Home Is Where The Spinel Is"
if I do decide to Cross-post some of the chapters from those two stories on here, I will but no promises.
(editing this in to say that those two stories, I had posted them over at Quotev, and even if "Spinelluva Boss: Home Is Where The Spinel Is" and "Falling For The Angel In Disguise" isn't well 100% perfect, it's okay that not everyone reads it, but I'm happy some seem to like the story even if those two stories I wrote aren't 100% perfect, and well it might be a while before I start to write the next chapters of them so for now they will stay on hiatus...and if I do decide to, I might cross-post some of the chapters of each of those two stories on here maybe, but once again no promises...and it really is okay that not many are interested in those stories, I'm fine with it being only a few that seem to enjoy those two stories so far. oh and both stories are for mature audiences only, because of what can be like 18+ scenes that aren't fully graphic probably, but I think some scenes in both of those stories will be kind of around 18+ but still in a different way...)
I still plan to have Sari use the Asmodean to disguise herself in the story "Falling For The Angel In Disguise" which once again the story did start out slightly different and the original female heroine was replaced by Sari.
the original female heroine still plays a part in the story, but she might be a side character or supporting character now at this point.
also is weird to get the idea about wanting to lock Adam from Hazbin Hotel, in a closet.
and if Lute, Emily or Sera or even Charlie, Vaggie, Lucifer or anyone else asks...
I would say that "Adam is in the Closet." cause he would really be in the closet, cause he was put in there on purpose.
it can also reference to a theory that Adam may be in the Bi Closet...
even if he finds some kind of attraction about finding Charlie and Vaggie's relationship to be hot...
but besides him being attracted to females, and nonbinary-women.
it could be possible Adam from Hazbin Hotel, could be in the closet, and not just because I want to push him in there and keep him in the closet possibly to give him a time out.
like even if he does come back as a Sinner, he would probably end up having a hard time hiding the fact that he likes guys as well, and that he is bisexual, I mean if it does turn out to be true...
if I made a bet with Alastor about it, and if I turned out to be right, he will have to give me all the strawberries I can eat, with melted chocolate to dip the strawberries in, he will have to pay up in strawberries with a bowl of melted chocolate. XD
it could be possible that Adam could be in the closet and was always in the closet but never fully realized it.
and as strange as it is, it could be possible as much of a Peepaw Dirtbag that he is, he could likely become a bit better and less of a heartless jerk if he came back as a Sinner, sure he wouldn't change much, but he could possibly become a bit more caring, maybe.
it could be possible that even if Adam and maybe Lute became better, and reformed in some way, it might not be the same for Lilith.
even if we might not want to admit it, it could be possible that Lilith from Hazbin Hotel, isn't a good person, I mean she might of been at some point at first even when she and Lucifer fell into Hell.
the Lilith from that universe and this one, might have slightly same backgrounds, but there are still some experiences that they had that are different.
Lucifer in the show, seemingly only did the whole stuff that was mentioned in the book that Charlie was reading.
and that would mean that Lucifer didn't have the same type of rebellion as the one from this universe, and the two are different as night and day.
I still want to give the one from this universe the cold hands to face punishment...and he probably freaking knows why.
as for Charlie's Dad, I just want to glomp the Adorkable Apple Goober and protect him, he is such a sweetie apple dumpling that needs to be protected. XD
I'm a Weird Earth Angel, who I think the whole weirdness runs in the family....The Embodiment Of Weirdness can be some form of silliness and laughter, and well having your fun weird side out might be helpful at times when you felt a bit sad or mad before.
not sure if many have experience that very much, or get what I'm trying to say about it.
anyway if it is true that it is the Male Ars Goetia that has the baby, and well the Female Ars Goetia were once able to, but can't anymore.
it could be possible that Stolas may have already given Octavia the talk about the whole how she was really born, so Octavia would know that it was Stolas who was pregnant, not Stella.
as for the whole if Lucifer ever gave Charlie the talk, it is possible he didn't and she only knows about some info about how babies are made and it has to do with the Moms being the ones who are pregnant.
and what could of kept him from giving her the talk, might have to do with his depression and the divorce with Lilith.
he could of made plans on how to explain about the whole him being the one to be pregnant, not Lilith...like him having to explain it using the ducks or puppets.
it be nice if we turn out to be wrong about Lilith from Hazbin Hotel, that she isn't some two-faced, toxic-feminine, selfish and egotistical as well as self absorbed person...
we will have to wait and see and hope for the best.
but her being in Heaven instead of Hell, and her not calling Charlie back despite the fact Charlie had probably been calling her for 7 years...who knows why she never told her own daughter why she was off in Heaven, and making her daughter believe she was just off doing something important.
if it turns out Lilith left for selfish reasons, and not the understandable kind, if it were possible, I would want to punch her.
even if I may be shorter than her, and well I could find a way...
at least the Lilith from our universe had reasons why she fell, one of them being that during Adam's younger days, he was a selfish and full of himself and didn't truly treat her like a person and didn't give her the space she needed to heal properly, and the three angels involved in trying to force her to go back to him, aren't off the hook either. yeah even if they are doing some good now, but if they truly hurt Lilith past a breaking point, it wouldn't just be Adam who is partly responsible.
one can only hope they feel some form of remorse and Adam had matured and became less selfish and no longer so insensitive.
anyway we can only hope that Lilith isn't going to be some nonredeemable villain, while it might only be Lute and Sinner-Adam who get redeemed, and end up working together with Emily to help Charlie.
but even if we do hope that Lilith wont be some villain, it doesn't mean it wont happen, so it is possible she could end up being one and Charlie might have to face some tough truths about her Mom.
one of them being she is a Toxic-Feminist and makes herself out like she is the good and better parent, even if she may have did some good for Charlie, it doesn't mean everything she has done for her was truly for her.
we know that both Greg Universe and Isaac Sumdac are Gray-Parents, not really being 100% good parents but not really bad either.
but it doesn't mean that their children, Steven and Sari wouldn't figure out there was some things they did wrong when trying to raise them.
just because Steven is Half-Gem and Sari is Half-Cybertronian, doesn't mean they aren't still human.
so they would still need to go to a doctor, and Isaac could of programed a robot with some medical knowledge and learn and adapt to how to take care of Sari who was half-human and half-cybertronian.
Greg might still be a beloved character, but he still made some mistakes that some fans may have called him out on, like still liking him but not really liking that he never used that money he got from Marty, to use to pay for maybe a home tutor for Steven, or using it to pay for Steven when he has to go to the hospital.
parents don't need to be perfect, but even if we can still like Greg and Isaac, it doesn't mean they wont end up showing their bad parenting side.
at least Steven was able to get some form of education from Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst.
Pearl is like Steven's Mom, even if Rose is as well, but it was Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst that basically raised Steven.
even if Greg did only kept Steven when he was baby and until he was a bit old enough to live with Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst.
plus there were times when Greg was being selfish, like faking still being hurt, I mean it is nice he wants to spend time with his son, but it still doesn't mean he was in the right with those actions.
even if Isaac did some things right when raising Sari, it doesn't mean he didn't make some mistakes as well...
and well in a Fanon Timeline like in Hazformers, Sari may have never got the chance to tell her Dad, Isaac Sumdac that she is Biromantic.
so if someone hired I.M.P. to take care of Isaac, he would possibly end up as a Sinner in Hell, but not because he was helping Megatron when he was held captive.
it would be because he took some parts and reverse engineered a living being that wasn't truly dead/offline but was in a stasis coma.
so while Sari could end up in Heaven, her Dads Isaac and Megatron would be in the other place.
and if Sari did run away with Emily, and end up meeting Isaac and her Autobot friends in the Hazbin Hotel.
she could introduce Emily as her girlfriend and finally coming out to her human Dad, who would be a Sinner at the moment, about her being bi.
Charlie and Emily could of formed a sisterly bond, and if she did find out that Emily is dating Sari who is half-cybertronian, she could be happy for her and that she found someone that will always be by her side.
the idea of Sari x Emily is just well a ship idea that pop into my head, and the chances of others liking the ship idea is likely very small.
anyway, I'm not really sure what else to say about that or the whole Lucifer and Stolas being the ones that were pregnant with their daughters, and Stella and Lilith were NEVER pregnant at all, only took full credit possibly.
anyway I'm just gonna check out a few more stuff on here and then I will log off...so yeah, maybe next time I will make a second poll that is even weirder than that first one that has to do with Adorkable Apple Goobers. XD

7, 12, 19, 20, 24 for imogen!!
7. What’s one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them?
Well, she wasn't supposed to get a redemption arc at all when I first created her. Imogen's backstory and personality pre-Bix has stayed more or less the same, but I started writing her just a little more soft once her feelings for Bix are realized. She actually becomes a tiny bit compassionate towards others because she starts to see them through Bix's eyes. People start to matter to her. That's not something her or I had planned in the beginning lol
12. Is your OC self-destructive? In what ways?
Technically yes, but she doesn't see it as self destructive. Giving into the Dark Side isn't typically seen as a form of self care, but Imogen feels like it freed her for the first time. In her mind, she was a slave to the Light Side and in the moment she let that go, it felt like a weight lifted off her shoulders. That doesn't change the fact that the Dark Side is corrosive and it turned her into someone truly malicious.
19. How does your OC behave when enraged?
Imogen never screams or loses her cool. She gets quiet and focused. Her rage is a tool of precision that she's spent many years learning how to effectively wield and she becomes this nearly unstoppable force once she sets her eyes on whatever made her so furious. Honestly, Cal is the only one who's faced off with her like that and survived.
20. Does your OC have a tendency to get jealous? If so, how does this manifest?
Yes. Even as a Youngling in the Jedi Order, Imogen would feel very envious of her peers. As a child, she was very eager to please and didn't take it well when another Youngling performed better than her during a lesson. As an adult, she's very possessive of what she considers "hers" because a lot of things were taken from her in her life and she was constantly told to sacrifice what matters to her. Imogen won't willingly surrender anything easily and she makes that known. Especially when it comes to Bix.
24. What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they’d made those decisions?
God okay this one is such a loaded question so buckle up.
It's so hard to say what she would have chosen for herself because Imogen was taken from her family at such a young age (four) and raised to be a Jedi that any individualistic choices or ambitions she might have had never really developed. All she knew was that around the time the Clone Wars started (she was twelve) she realized she did not want to be a Jedi.
Now, the Order doesn't force people to stay. Hell, if you fail as a Jedi you can even go into the Service Corps and have a more chill lifestyle. But Imogen was a child who was strong with the Force and assigned to a hard ass Master because the Council sensed her temptation towards the Dark Side. How could anyone make big life decisions for themselves in that situation?
Ultimately, Imogen and Rejna were mismatched. If Imogen had had a more patient, understanding, and supportive Master, maybe they could have figured out what she really wanted from life and set her on a path that truly made her happy. Not to say Rejna was all bad and didn't care about Imogen at all. She truly loved her and wanted what was best for her, but she was so focused on forming this problem child into a Good Jedi that it pretty much doomed them both from the start.
All this to say that I don't know what Imogen would have been. Even if her experience with the Jedi had gone better, Order 66 still happened and she might've been killed anyway.

All Time Favorite Mangas Part 2 (completed only)
That’s right, I remembered I had a tumblr. We will now commence part two of my all time favorite mangas, and of course, like I said before, these are only the manga that are completed.
6. Gokusen
Tumblr media
If I had to pick something that was truly truly my all time favorite manga, it’d probably have to be Gokusen. It’s labelled as a josei, and I don’t know anyone who’s read it, despite its decent success. Gokusen also has an anime adaption as well as a live action adaption and I have not seen either, nor do I plan to lmaooo.
Basically Gokusen is about this woman who becomes a teacher at a really rebellious all boys school, while also trying to hide the fact that she is the daughter and heir to a prominent yakuza family. I would say the main focus of the manga is fighting and comedy. The manga is super funny with a ton of jokes and gags, and I’ve actually reread Gokusen multiple times.
And yes, I will address probably the biggest issue of this manga which is the age gap and difference in power between the female lead and her main love interest. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS I do appreciate how the manga tried to offset the issues by making the FL a ditzy idiot and the ML really mature, but that didn’t change the fact that she’s his teacher .... IDK They also technically don’t kiss until like this special epilogue chapter thingy a whole year after the manga ended. So yeah tbh idk how to feel about it. The manga itself suprisingly didn’t have too much of a focus on “romance” per se because the ML only confesses his feelings at the VERY end, like this within the last like twenty pages of the entire manga. And the FL sorta-ish kinda doesn’t reciprocate??? SORTA IDK. Basically she’s kinda just like flustered and shooketh by it and they almost kiss but get interrupted. So yeah Imma forgive this relationship on the ground that it doesn’t start at all until the ML is graduated, a legal adult, and she is no longer his teacher.
DESPITE ALL THAT, like I said, this is genuinely my favorite manga that I’ve reread time and time again. It’s not very long either, like under 100 chapters so technically if you’re a fast reader like me, it can be read in a single day. For context, I read the entirety of Naruto in about a week lol. If you like comedy, and yazuka manga then I highly recommend.
7. Hirunaka no Ryuusei aka Daytime Shooting Star aka one of the best completed shoujo mangas out there
Tumblr media
OKAY OKAY, this one’s a pretty mainstream favorite for those in the shoujo manga audience, BUT THERES A REASON FOR IT MMKAY. AND I HAVE A REASON FOR IT TOO. This manga holds a deep and special place in my heart for multiple reasons. AND BECAUSE I NEEDA GO IN DETAIL, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
Okay FIRST. THE STORY. OMG, okay I think what sets this manga apart is how mature and realistic feeling the story feels. The characters are all really relatable and feel ya know, REAL. And IDK the vibes of this manga are just not really able to be replicated. Cuz the mangaka’s work after this one, Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet ... SUCKED. And I’m saying this as a big fan of that mangaka (I’ve read all their short stories as well).
But on a more personal note, back when I was in high school, I had a boyfriend who was 19 while I was 16. He was half Japanese and I swore he looked like Shishio-sensei (those were rose tinted glasses, he was probably way uglier tbh, plus he was a total asshole). Reading this manga made me feel justified in the relationship, since the main character Suzume also had a weird situationship with an older guy. OH BOY I WISH YOUNGER ME HAD SOME MORE SENSE BUT THAT’S TOO LATE NOW ISN’T IT. And if you know how this manga ends, you already know she doesn’t even end up with her teacher, god bless. Back when I was younger and in that toxic relationship, I always wondered why did Suzume pick Mamura. I never understood it, because the teacher always felt like the main character. But when my relationship ended and I stayed single for a bit, it made me realize that was kinda the point of the manga. Suzume’s feelings for her teacher were supposed to be one-sided/unrequited sorta-ish. Because a relationship between a student and a teacher is obviously a big NO-NO. So of course, she ends up with Mamura, the guy friend who was nice and always there for her in a platonic way, and then eventually of course in a romantic way. The mangaka's short stories were also like that too where the main character moves on from an unrequited/inappropriate love to someone who is more age appropriate. And this is why the author’s OTHER manga fails BTW, because that whole message is THROWN AWAY and the FL ends up with a dude who’s double her age deadass in such a weird and unrealistic situation tbh. Yeah ... idk why they decided to completely switch up and fumble the bag like that. But ANYWAY, I have a lot of love and respect for this manga because it helped me really reanalyze and think about my own love life and relationships.
Also Mamura is such a sweetie pie. I’m such a sucker for his character type now that I’m older. Obviously I used to be wayyyy more into Shishio-sensei’s type but I’ve matured and can see why Mamura was for the win bwahaha.
8. Ouroboros
Tumblr media
If you’re like one of the 10 people reading my tumblr, then you may or may not have expected this to be something I love. I’mma start keeping things short cuz TBH, I started this post like MONTHS ago, and it’s taken me this long to write soooo here we go.
Basically Ouroboros is about two orphans who have a beloved carer/teacher. When they’re young she gets murdered and it all gets like covered up and shit so they vow revenge on the person who murdered here and all the cops that covered it up. In present day, Ikuo is a detective and Tatsuya is a yakuza member. They work together behind the scenes to uncover the truth and get their revenge.
Ouroboros is one of my favorite completed manga in the seinen genre because it has kinda everything I like about the genre. It’s dark, it’s gritty, it doesn’t hold back its punches. The main female character and sorta love interest is actual INTERESTING and her life doesn’t evolve around the main guy. She has her own story and her own shit going on too.
The main two characters are also very interesting in their motivations and personalities because they are two very different people but share a common bond and goal in life. I really liked their relationship and how the interacted and worked together.
TBH the art style is kinda more on the ugly side, but it’s definitely tolerable and there are some scenes that looked pretty good.
SPECIAL MENTION
Tokyo Ghoul AND Tokyo Ghoul Re (until the very end oof)
Tumblr media
My opinion for this is NOT a hot take, cuz multiple people seem to have this similar sentiment.  Since Tokyo Ghoul:re is a direct sequel I’m counting them as together mmkay. I loved Tokyo Ghoul and I loved Tokyo Ghoul:re. They were so good, all the characters, the worldbuilding, the lore, the abilities, etc. Ghouls were such an interesting and cool take on the like vampire/demon-esque category and no other manga I’ve seen has any sorta similar creature to ghouls. At least, not to this level of depth and development. I also absolutely adored the art style and thought it was soooo good. I also love Kaneki Ken and I’ve seen the anime (not the :re anime I heard that shit was kinda wack). BUT if you asked me what the FUCK happened in like the last 15/10 chapters of Tokyo Ghoul:re, I could not tell you to save my life.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS I gotta be honest, I genuinely don’t think I can properly recall wtf happened after that one ghoul/investigator guy died. Everything after that was a blur to me. I remember Touka getting pregnant, and Kaneki turning into some giant ugly ass tumor thing and THAT’S ABOUT IT.
I thought the set up for the sequel was SOOO good. The introduction of ghoul investigators, having Kaneki have this dual/forgotten personality. I thought Kaneki as Haise was really cute and sweet. So it just sucks that the moment that Haise is gone, you lose your “likable” protagonist. And now you just have this guy that’s all evil and dead inside. Like I know this is a common theme in stories, and in shounen manga, of living long enough to turn into the villain, but idk I feel like it didn’t work for Tokyo Ghoul, especially the weird tumor monster ending was so random feeling and wtf, and just URGH.
Such a good manga ruined by the ending and inability to close out and tie the story up. I feel like Kaneki’s story coulda ended in such a better way. Cuz this isn’t even dramatically sad or emotional in a good way that pulls your heart strings. I remember reading the last chapters and truly going like “girl what the fuck is going on.”
Blade of the Immortal
Tumblr media
I liked it. Pretty good. Just ... another issue of women being written off really weirdly, pushed to the side kinda issue. Not too bad but definitely noticeable where the main female character, despite how LONG this story is, never truly has any real character growth and awkwardly always remains needed to be saved and weak. Still good story and would recommend it for people looking for a kinda classic old-time samurai story.

1, 19, 28 for rhea, 4, 22, 44 for eris, 11, 28, 42 for tally GO GO GO
RHEA
1) Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
Rhea only has her half-sister Thalion, who she discovers about 200 years later, so..but, technically, she does :) Rhea is about 5 years older than Tally, but you'd never tell.
19) What is your character’s biggest relationship flaw? Has this flaw destroyed relationships for them before?
Idk, my first instinct is to say Rhea is flawless… But i guess she doesn't really point out her partner's mistakes? Not those ones related to her (because she's not about to suffer abuse and what not), but the general 'bad life decisions'. She just watches it unfurl from the sidelines. She will stand firmly by her partner's side, no matter what tho. (It's also not like she doesn't give out valuable life advice when asked, but with all of her experience, kindness and empathy she could be doing a better job of guiding people, partners or not. She could be a cult leader?? Instead, before she meets Eris, she's kind of a hermit).
28) How quick or slow is your character to resort to physical violence in a confrontation?
Rhea prefers to avoid violence, but if that option's not available, she WILL fuck you up. Like, when she started out, she had no intention of killing anything bigger than a rat. But not knowing how to levitate (yet) and not being able to run faster than, say, a raging kagouti, she did choose to go feral. She's very fast, agile and good with a blade. Same goes for her human foes. If she can't avoid (levitate/become invisible), she'll go all in.
(I feel this kind of reads like she's being a coward, but that's not it. She prefers to avoid killing animals because she just doesn't see a point, and she prefers to distance herself from human enemies so that she could rain death from above on those who do deserve it ✌).
ERIS These are half-assed, but lesbionest, if i haven't come up with anything better for her in these 4??? weeks, i probably won't right now, so take what you can get, rip
4) Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know? IDK man. But i do want to say 'seeing dragons'. It's a major thing. Idk how she even survived Helgen, she was mostly going :0, standing in the middle of the burning square.
22) What does your character like in other people? Honesty. Intelligence. Kindness, or, at least, compassion, OR, AT LEAST, not being a dick to others on purpose.
44) How easy or difficult is it for your character to say “I love you?” Can they say it without meaning it? Starting with the 2d part: no, she can't. She has to be friends for a thousand years with someone to even consider being romantically involved with them, and then she has to be 100% sure that YEAH, her partner does want to be with her! But i think i'm speaking about her relationship with Rhea right now. With women she's kinda 👉👈🥺. With men (say, Xalran), she's much more confident in herself, she won't be the one to chase anyone.
TALLY 11) In what situation was your character the most afraid they’ve ever been? Probably her first Oblivion gate. Imagine a rich kid with basic training going to literal hell on an excursion. But while being terrified her mind was still looking for opportunities lol.
28) How quick or slow is your character to resort to physical violence in a confrontation? Her hand is perpetually on her sword's handle and she feels like everyone is out to get her. That's mostly not true tho.
Also, she simultaneously tries to stay out of harm's way and goes on stupid-danderous adventures for fun and profit.
42) Has your character ever had a parental figure who was not related to them? Bruh, idk. She grew up in Cheydinhall with a rich mother and a lil bit of a freeloader dad. The riches were her mother's but her dad slowly drained that fortune. Not wanting to lose face, her mother began taking loans, still supporting their lifestyle. Among this silent family drama, Thalion was largely left to her own devices (which did not improve her character, lol). She might have had a 'friend' in the face of one of her tutors (but she might have treated them more like the help tbh) oooor she might have known that painter from the town. i had plans for him and her, BUT, alas, now i don't remember

hey guys!
Firstly, I want to say how proud I am of myself for growing so much during this fic. I learned a lot about what I'm comfortable with, what I'd like to work on, and where my confidences lie.
I won't lie and say it's been easy, because writing this meant dealing with a lot of my fears? I'm excited for all the works that are to come.
The only thing I can do is be as receptive to growth as possible, so I'm looking forward to learning...
*I actually learned that Vaseline wasn't invented until like the 1870s? The fic is written in the 1810s, so I actually had a choice between having them do it with vegetable oil or spit. Spit won.

5 years ago
You bend over to pick up an apple that had rolled over under your father's produce cart, praying that it isn't bruised so that you have to pay for it out of your dinner, when a crumpled piece of paper hits you in the ass.
Confused, you crawl out from under the stand and unwrap the paper.
The paper itself is of the finest quality you've ever seen. It's a sturdy cardstock, bleached white with gold etchings on the borders. The print on the top of it reads "His Highness Jeon's Royal Study," and scribbled in some kid's amateur cursive below, "Nice butt."
You directed your gaze upwards, towards the towering castle walls. Sure enough, a boy no older than 15 had his noggin popping out from the top of the rampart, with two wide eyes staring down, curious as to your reaction. This was Prince Jungkook, heir to the throne of your kingdom.
"Shouldn't you be equestrian horse riding or playing polo or something?" You shout. He furrows his eyebrows, apparently offended at your assumption, and then disappears behind the edifice.
Moments later, another paper hits your shoulder as you're practicing your caligraphy behind your cart. It lands between the apples, so you reach your hand over and fish out out.
You glance up at the anticipant, and sure enough he's there with his doe eyes and his coconut head, ogling.
"No, dumbie. That's at MID-day." Well how were YOU supposed to know the royal schedule of the crown prince, it wasn't just common knowlegde you learned from being a humble farmer's daught--
Ah!
"Will you STOP?!" You put your foot down. "Unless you're here to buy my apples, then you're not getting ANY, little Prince." Oh, shit. You gave him ideas. Now it was really over for you.
In less than half an hour, half a company of men arrived at the marketplace, asking about your little old apple stand, and sure enough, Jungkook had bought out the entire cart so that you were forced to help with the transaction.
The young prince had eyes frankly too big for his head, with the most prominent cupid's bow you've ever seen. His nose slightly outgrew his face and his ears were hidden away behind his short, black hair. "Now you can talk to me." He gave you a rose he'd stolen from the royal garden. "I am Jungkook, heir to the throne of--"
"I know who you are." You interrupt him, documenting His Highness' total in your calligraphy book.
With a hand perched on his chest from surprise, he scoffed. "And I happen to think you're really pretty, so I was going to ask you to be my very first consor--"
"You're 15, you have playmates not consorts."
"And how old are you?!" He's had it, raising his voice and taking a bite out of one of your apples with force.
"16, old enough to have suitors." You tease. Jungkook hangs his head a little. He just needed someone to talk to, it would seem. Reluctantly, you scribbled down your address down on a piece of note paper and handed it to him.
"Look, if you buy more of my apples, I'll have an excuse to tell my Dad so I can hang out with you." You spoke in a low voice as to not raise suspicion.
Your dad is standing negotiating with the guards about prices, his usual embarassing haggling gruffly overpowering the guards elegant twiddle-tones.
"Wonderful! See you soon, my sweet!" He resumes his confident demeanor, tucking the paper into his overcoat with a small smile. He salutes you boyishly and marches away with a year's supply of apples.
For the next week, the royal kitchen had baked 3 apple pies, made 5 fruit salads, 4 batches of apple muffins, and threw the rest of them in Sangria; that's the same Sangria as King Jeon finds himself drinking in his wife's drawing room on Sunday.
"Call Chef, fetch him up here." He waves to his assistant, keeping his eyes on the outside. He was deep in thought, his hands stoicly behind his back.
The Kingdom had been prosperous for over many years now, and war had not come close to threatening its borders in a lifetime. Negotiations were always successful, and quality of living was high. The work of a King, in a situation such as this, was to perfect the image of the royal family as strong rulers, and to paint his daughters as desirable to foreign heirs.
"Your Grace," the assistant called his attention, "Head Chef Sung." The dainty man bows and scurries off somewhere else.
Chef Sung is a portly man, who carries himself heaving with every step, his great belly inflating with each hefty inhale. He approaches the King, and kneels down to kiss his hand with his fat lips.
The King recoils in disgust, but quickly collects himself and his words. "Where are these apples from, is it France or Spain?" He demands.
"Neither, Your Highness." Mr.Sung lifts up his eyes. "They are from our Holy Kingdom; by order of Prince Jungkook, an entire cart was purchased of these apples and we have not been able to get rid of them." Tears threatened Chef Sungs eyes at the very mention of the fruit.
'Well, there's one thing the kid's done right.' King Jeon now faces the Chef, setting down his drink on a mahogany table, leaning against it casually. "Well! Good. I'd like to meet the owner of that cart, invite him to my Sunday brunch."
"Oh, yes, of course sir! You'll never see them in our kitchen aga--What?" Chef Sung takes out his handkerchief, waving it around in the air and drying his tears at once. "So you like them! Why...Yes! Yes, of course!"
Your father thought it would be valuable to have you around the kitchen, learning from the skilled men and women employed by the Jeon family. He only visited once a week to drop off fresh produce, (he'd been officially hired to handle restocking of goods) but you, after showing promising signs of being a gifted baker during one of your father's restocks, were granted scholarship by Ms.Kang to be her aid.
You were now, officially, a resident of the Jeon Estate, residing in the servant's quarters, immediately adjacent to the kitchen. This was convenient. It was far too convenient for a certain little Prince to get the idea of wanting a midnight snack and wandering downstairs.
One day, he does just that. He finds his way into the first bedroom to the right of the stairs facing the kitchen, and that happens to be your bedroom.
He pokes you awake. "Ow! Ow, whyyy~" You whine and toss yourself over to the other side of the bed. His irritating poking persists. You grab his fingers and your eyes shatter open.
You sit up, alarmed. "You could have me arrested, what the fuck are you doing?!"
"I wanted a midnight snack! Besides, I wanna talk to you." He pouts, still holding a small teddy companion.
"Fine. I'll bake you ONE sheet of cookies." You slip on your night shoes and shuffle to the kitchen, and Jungkook tags along.
By the time Jungkook's 18th birthday comes around, he's in the kitchen helping you whisk buttercream to top his cake while having a tease at the Austrian Princess' mole.
"You have one right under your lip, look!" You take a little buttercream from the bowl and stain the dark spot with it.
He licks it up and hastens to add, "it needs more sugar, lady!" as he turns to grab a puffy bag of confection sugar.
"You're impossible to please." Snatching the sugar away from him, you smirk. "You can gobble down as many sweets as you want when the ball commences. Remember, this is the year you're supposed to be keeping your eye out for a girl of a good fam--"
"Yada yada, must have hips for childbearing, yada yada yada..." He mocks the speech his mother had told him that morning when he got dressed.
"Exactly." You set your bowl aside to fix Jungkook's tie. "Yes, and that's your duty, as our heir."
You step back and examine Jungkook one more time. He'd grown so tall in the last year, his legs like spider's and he was just beginning to grow into his features. Handsome boy.
You, too, had grown into an elegant young woman. You had a poised complexion, ready-mannered and graceful. Your hands seemed out of place in your otherwise feminine frame, carrying an extra bit of girth from baking. You were 19 years old.
Marriage was becoming an uncomfortably frequent topic during your visits home, as your mother had married young, herself, she expected the same of you.
Truth be told, there were plenty of offers for your hand. You were a skilled and very esteemed individual, who had broken into thr artisinal class. But your father knew better than put a dowry on your happiness. So long as you worked, he saw no reason to marry you off just yet.
"Now, go. Your sisters must be worried sick! Go out there." You shoo him, pushing him out the door of the kitchen despite his flailing arms.
Throughout the party, you'd been carrying a platter of your own baked goods, serving them to the aristocrats attending the Princes' coming-of-age ball. Accents from all over Europe and some from Kingdoms as far East as Cyprus jubilantly engaged in artful conversation which filled the air with good spirits.
Jungkook, himself, was busy being introduced to as many women as possible, a medley of presenting duchesses, ladies, and even Princesses of your Kingdom. They were each more qualified than you'll ever be, ten-fold.
One was a Greek Princess, her hair cascaded in darling curls down her shoulders and her eyes were deep-set, her voice a flirtatious trill.
Another, a Prussian Princess', posture radiated excellency, and whose complexion sparkled like powdered snow. Jungkook greeted her warmly, pleased with her appearance.
Distracted, you tripped up your skirt and dropped the remainder of your pastries. With that, you stepped off to use the restroom.
The sound of Strauss' Rosen aus dem Süden faintly loomed in the air as you wiped tears from your waterline in the mirror. That was just the way it was, wasn't it? Princes come of age, and they find wives who they commit their lives to.
"Married men don't have friends who are girls." You say out loud, just to realize it. Jungkook was now expected to find a mate within the season, and he was, in fact, quite the eligible bachelor.
Little did you know that Jungkook had been keeping an eye out for you throughout the party, not only because you were carrying his favorite Danish pastires, but because he knew your company was his greatest comfort.
He's in the midst of greeting the Duchess of Kent when he excuses himself to go look for you. He finds your mess first, frowning as he realizes something has gone terribly wrong.
He catches you in the hallway, face puffy and shaky. He grabs your wrist to keep you from darting back to the kitchen.
"Please don't do this, it's my birthday, y/n." It's as if an unspoken rule had been broken between you, and he feels it. Something is making you uncomfortable. "Was it the girls? You told me about this, it's my duty to at least greet them and--"
"Yeah, you sure did greet the Prussian woman nicely." You speak through tears. "She's the girl you were born to be with, huh? Your birthright?"Jungkook is silent. "Every girl at that ball wants to be your wife, want to have your children. They haven't known you for a day and yet they're ready to be your bride."
You search Jungkook's eyes for any sign of coherence, hoping that he would defend against you, that he would speak up and tell you otherwise. No such argument comes.
You yank your arm from his grip and march to the kitchen to remake the pastries you spilled.
You had the job of clearing off all the tables upon the departure of the last guests. It is midnight, and the windows of the castle stream moonlight down on the carpet beneath your feet. The glow of candles soothe you as you hum the waltzes which echo in your mind. It's a brilliant evening.
The centerpieces of the tables were gardenias, lush rose-like flowers with yellow pistils.
Summer, 1809
"Jungkook, wait! You're going to make me trip!" You shout from the top of the hill.
"You've gotta come see before the sun sets! It's the only way we'll get there on time, now run!" Jungkook's speeding down the terrain towards the Sycamore tree which grew deep and wide beneath the banks of a great rushing river.
You groan and throw caution to the wind, rolling down the steep mount in your Sunday dress. Jungkook turns to watch you, a grin spreading across his handsome face. "Look at you!"
You land on your feet at the bottom and scurry off to join Jungkook under the grandfather tree, out of breath entirely. "Now, look what you made me do. You're such a boy, you know that?! Making me come out here just to see some bloody--"
Jungkook has plucked a gardenia and placed it behind your ear. "Would you shut up? We got here on time. Behold."
In all its glory, the sun bathes you in its vivacious rays, creating a feeling of heavenly bliss as it dips below the horizon. The sky blushes pink, its clouds mere whisps above you. Wind rustles the leaves of the grand tree, rousing the birds to chirp their afternoon song.
"Mom used to come here all the time with my Dad, because of these." Jungkook clasped the blooming flower in his tender hands.
After a while, he says "the bugs will come out soon, so we ought to go back," as if he's trying not to scare something away. He helps you up, and with one last look across the valley, you walk next to each other back to the East Quarters.
You take all the silverware and plates by the tub to the dish-washing station and toss all of the linen napkins into the washing machine. All you had left was to blow out the lights in leading upstairs.
"Prince! It is very late, and there are no guests left for you to entertain. What troubles you?" Jungkook's sitting on the stairs with his head in his hands, still wearing his best suit.
"I disappointed you, y/n...I didn't like any of them." He admits, lifting his head up to sulk at you. "I should have told you then, but I didn't want to make you upset!"
Did Jungkook mistake your jealousy for disappointment?
"I'm not upset because you didn't hit it off with the girls..." You sigh. A confession is due, and he's ready to hear the truth from you about how you feel about him.
"Well, the truth is, I didn't like any of the girls because I like you, y/n. But you know that, don't you?" You pause, asking him to elaborate.
"Remember when I bought all the apples because I wanted to be with you? Like...I told you that you were my consort and I kind of meant it?" He felt pathetic now, realizing that you weren't just ignoring his advances. "So you didn't friendzone me for 2 years, you actually didn't know that I liked you."
It was almost laughable, a situation you would read in one of your illegal novels which you kept tucked away in your pillow at night. "No, Kookie, I didn't." You admit to your insolence.
You can't bear to lead him on any longer. You needed to put duty over your own self interest for the sake of the kingdom, even if it shattered his hope. It was better this way.
"But, you do know that we can't ever be a thing, right? It's just silly." Your heart tightens with the words which fall out of your mouth. "It is. Nevermind what your parents would think, what would it do for your image? You're on the world's stage, Jungkook, and you're a selfish person if you think you can just throw all of your duties away to date a scum of the Earth like-- like me!" With your heart in your throat, dry your eyes with your sleeve. "And...I want to, I really really want to, more than anything else to love you, Jungkook. I love you! I...can't." Through the blur of your tears, the shapeless blob that Jungkook has become stands up.
Taking his thumb and swiping it under your eyes, he sighs. Words escaping him, he takes your trembling body against his chest and nestles his head in the crook of your neck. Your cold hands travel underneath his overcoat to hold his waist. The Princes' lips plant a gentle kiss on your neck, chaste yet deep and satisfying.
"I will not accept any bride if not you, my love." He draws back, meeting your fervid gaze. "To the world, I remain a bachelor for a few years."
"And after those years, Jungkook?" You ride your hands up to caress the man's jaw. "You will still love me after those years, and then what?"
"I don't know," he says, voice as soft as powder. "I don't know many things, y/n, that's why I need you to teach me." His palms are rubbing at your waist, beckoning you closer.
His breath quickening as you lean your body against his hold, and you figure it must be the wine he drank to calm his nerves. That was it, wasn't it? He was drunk.
"You're not drunk, are you?" Your face sours, really hoping it's not the case as you feel your body temperature rise.
"Y/N, I've only had a glass. You saw I was a wreck back there." His lips kept chasing yours in a dance you can't quite describe. "I have wanted to hold you like this since I saw you selling apples on the street. Give me the honor..." His forehead against yours and his strong hands supporting your back, he's already fucking you with his eyes.
"The pleasure of being your lover." He squeezes your waist tight with his forearms, planting brisk kisses behind your ear and breathing in your scent. He smiles against you. Your skin pebbles at his affectionate touch, purring softly as your eyes roll back in delight.
"Kookie..." You breathe, leaning on his broad chest. "Kook, the maids are wondering where I am, I have to go..." You slur, tugging at his collar.
He grunts in protest, taking your ear between his teeth and nibbling it.
"If you let me go, I'll steal some cake for you tomorrow at breakfast." If there's anything Jungkook likes more than Cream Ice, it was cake. He unravels you from his arms and nods, his eyes softening.
"Request my service tomorrow, from Ms.Kang. She's been sweet on me lately." You peck his cheek before stepping back. Your rouge has embarrassingly stained His Grace's cheek.
Jungkook bows and presses a kiss on your hand, eyes rising to meet yours. "Til' morrow, babe."
Jiyoo shakes you awake the next morning, handing you a cake and a note that reads: "Prince Jungkook has a commission he must discuss with you. Meet him at his chamber immediately."
Lacing on a simple corset over your nightgown, you try not to look too red in the face as you climb up the stairs to His Majesty's room. You'd be up there alone, as requested. The girls would absolutely start rumors based on that alone-- rumors which you realize are probably totally true. This was stuff of scandal, after all...
'There shouldn't be anything scandalous about love.' You decide as you rap on His Highness' door.
"Please enter...but only if you have my cake!" Jungkook says in his morning voice. He's so cute.
The simplicity of Jungkook's abode takes you by surprise. His bedroom is very well lit, a capital display of the flowered valley through his bay windows washed the room in gold, painting his porcelain white carpets and his cotton sheets a warm creme color. His drawers and vanity were etched in gold, with breathtaking detailing.
The Monarch himself was splayed across the bed, laying on his side casually. He held a glass in his hand, holding a white wine. He puts down his glass and sits up as your presence.
"We both know that you didn't come here as my servant." You lock the door behind you. "And I have no such commission to give you, darling." The innocence which undertones his usual speech is missing as he coaxes you towards him.
"This much I know, Your Majesty," You say, taking a bit of frosting on your index finger and smudging it on the Princes lips. His black eyes, as cunning as a viper, watch you dangerously as you push two fingers past his plush lips. He wraps his hands around your wrist and draws your hand away, his gaze fixating on you.
"Set the cake down." At his command, you carefully place the confection down on a nearby chest, feeling Jungkook's eyes on you, drawing you back towards his grip.
"Let me pull your laces apart," with your waist held by his Herculean hand, he hums "and then let me pull you apart. I want to memorize your pleasures and gratify your desires, I need it, y/n..." Your back flush against his chest and your thighs split, his hands knead into you as he litters your collar with his mark.
You gasp softly against the crook of his neck, giving into his hold of you. His hot tongue spreads under your jaw, closing into a hard kiss as his hands travel back up to undo your corset and free your tits.
One by one, his fingers pop open the buttons left on your gown until the collar hangs off-shoulder to expose your collarbone. At the sight of new skin, Jungkook's tongue darts to stain it.
His hands stagger above your breasts. "Is it okay if I touch you here?"
"Oh, Kookie, touch me everywhere~" Your hands form fists around Jungkook's shirt, beckoning him impossibly closer.
Grasping one ever so carefully, his thumb grazes your bud as he playfully bites under your ear. "ah-- ahh,"
Jungkook groans in response, he can't believe how cute you sound. Curious, he wants to hear more, so he traces your thighs and experimentally pushes up the outside your cunt.
You squirm, tensing up immediately in response. You bring your hands down to find the latch on his trousers and dip your hands below to rub him through his undergarments. He heatedly bucks up to meet your touch, a panting mess.
You face him now as he watches you ride his fingers while you grip his girth through his clothes. He takes you by the ass and places you on his prominent bulge, hips rolling into you as he hungrily kisses you, his firm hands grinding your core on his cock.
His face is a sinful red, panting under you desperately.
"I've been wanting to do this," His voice warbles through your touch, running your thumb along his underside. It's his turn to gasp. He sits up and collapses his lips into yours, softer than rose petals and his taste faintly like wine.
You place your hand on his chest, and his heart is pounding, a thin layer of sweat already forming on his honeylike complexion.
Hastily, you pull your dress over your head and lean back to allow him to familiarize himself with your stark form, a dainty chain hanging between your bosom. Jungkook bites his lips as he wriggles out of his clothing, desposing of it beside the bed.
He's giddy behind those sultry eyes, you know him well enough that he's overexcited to get inside of you. It goes straight to his cock, your playfulness as you feel up his bare shoulders and discover his abdominals, your fingers tracing his ridges with a sense of innocent wonder.
He takes your hands and looks at you in this way-- Butterflies fill your stomach instantly. Jungkook's thumbing at your pout with his intrepid fingers.
His eyes flutter when grip his base and submerge your upper body below his hips. You lick a long, thick stripe up his underside, causing his breath to hitch and his head to fall back on to the bed.
Those goddamn cupid's bow lips of his would whisper the dirtiest things under his breath, lewd thoughts that sounded completely alien coming from His Majesty's mouth, he said for you.
"Oh, such a pretty mouth~ It's so good, y/n, you swallow me so good--" he moaned like a mantra, trying to keep his hips from snapping up into you. Your hot, wet tongue wrapped around his throbbing cock was only a fantasy to him for years.
He fills your throat with his girth, his taste tantalizingly smooth. It leaves your mouth with a 'pop.' You struggle to keep your legs apart as you crawl up to kiss him.
He takes those fingers of his and slides his index and middle into you and languidly thrusts them, smirking against your lips. "Shit, you liked that, hmm..."
"Kookie...please," you whine as he squeezes your ass hard before smacking it. You yelp, the sting of his fingers radiating from your skin.
"I like it when you beg, y/n, it's so cute..." He pulls your ass up to his thighs. He's flush hard against your abdomen, already sticky with his precum and your spit. You marvel at the self control he has.
You don't finish your thought before he has his head inside of you, impaling you on his cock and stretching your entrance, hissing at how incredible it felt to have you around him.
His shaft reached pleasure points within you had yet to discover. You clench, feeling his tip brush against your cervix. "Wh... hngh," he groans, "how did you do that, do it again--" You wrap your legs around his thighs and clench around him, biting your lip. You watch as he shivers from pleasure, feeling his skin horripilate under your touch.
His thumb is softly circling above your clit as he pulls out of you carefully. He swirls back in, nestling himself inside your heat, hissing. "Ahh~ Jungkook~!" At the sound of his first name moaned out of your mouth, he groans and rolls his hips up to create messy friction. That familiar knot in your stomach tingles as he plays with the bundle of nerves buried within you.
He glances up at your ruined lips, clashing with them again as he lifts your knees up with his hands and thrusts nice and rough, making you yell with every jolt of his cock. The smell and sound of sex fills the room as he experiments with positions, laying you on all fours.
"Get your ass up for me." You obey, ever servile. You're reminded-- you're his servant. He owns your work, he owns your services, and now he wants you in the most lucrative way, he wants your soaked cunt around his imperial cock. He gets what he wants.
Jungkook's palms smack against your ass one more time, just to watch the way it jiggles for him. He smirks a little before he shoves himself into your pretty little cunt. You bury your face into the pillows in pelasure as he chases your orgasm with vigor, fingering your clitoris while you move your hips back to meet his hard thrusts.
You whine like a harlot, his cock allowing you every satisfaction as he works a head-spinning orgasm out of that cunt. "I'm gonna cum, Kookie~!" you warn as you spasm against his length, moans ripping from your throat as you coat him with your thick juices.
His hips stutter up and he just barely pulls himself completely from you as he paints your back white, a guttural groan escaping his mouth.
After a while of loud panting and scattered giggling, Jungkook reaches over for a wet cloth and cleans the both of you gingerly. You trail your hands up to caress his jaw and kiss his lips softly.
"You need to tell everyone that I had a long and extensive request for the Harvest party, that I wanted a lot of fall fruits and vegetables featured in the baked goods, make it as specific as possible and make sure that you mention that I want to meet with you again, over dinner." His labored breathing punctuate his words, as youd kisses consume him. "And..."
"And?" You cock an eyebrow, simpering.
"Doyouthinkmaybeyoucouldbringmesomemilktogowithmycake?" He mumbles, eyes glued on the bed.
"What?" (If you give a Kookie a Cookie...)
Disgruntled, he sighs and repeats: "Milk! Milk for my cake. I know it's moist cause you made it but I'm really thirsty, especially after..." His cheeks flush a cute pink. You wait for him to continue just to fluster him a little more. "Y/N, just please!" You can't ever refuse his pouty face.
Next week, Jungkook's got you pinned against the hallway wall, making out with you hungrily as his hands ride up your dress. Just across the hall, his Dad is negotiating war with Portugal over land in the West.
The next month, you have his cock buried in your throat underneath the table at an important conference about how to create jobs.
All this while the pressure for Jungkook to find a bride continues to rise as he reaches seniority, and as his father's grey hairs pronounce themselves.
Warm touches are always hidden away to the public eye, but often shared between two kindred spirits underneath the man in the moon's watchful eye. Jungkook, as he reaches his maturity, grows strong. His jaw sharpens, and his eyes darken. His hair grows long, and he gains weight. Now at the proud age of 20, Jungkook had become a man before everyone's eyes, including the eyes of foreign monarchs and their eligible bachelorettes.
One day, you're serving the Royal family at a private dinner, when the topic of marriage comes up for the first time since his birthday.
"Your mother has made friends with the mother of the Austrian Princess, and she's invited you to the cordial ball to introduce yourself to the Princess. An allyship with Austria would prove advantageous for our relations with France, so you are to make your best impression." The King wipes his mouth. Setting his fork down, he continues: "It is in the family's best interest for you to marry her, if the French Princess, Anastasie, does not present this season or the next." The Queen holds the King's hand firmly, reassuring him from his shoulder. She wears a slight frown on her face, her eyes worrisome, somber. The King hides his anxiety, as he's been accustomed to from decades of responsibility. Would this be the face of Jungkook soon?
For now, Jungkook's face is scrunching at the thought of marrying Anastasie. She's not the most delightful young woman, her imprudence ruined her enjoyment of any event. She couldn't keep an intuitive conversation about regional politics and domestic policy for the life of her. Her people were on the brink of overthrowing the aristocracy, he was sure of it.
"Yes, father," is what you hear from him before you disappear down the stairs to fetch desserts.
Jiyoo interrupts your quest for sweets with a letter, signed by His Grace. She has a naturally innocent demeanor, her cheeks rosy and her frame as delicate as a feather. "Y/N, you have another special request from His Majesty...can I ask you why you get so many of these?" She looks genuinely curious, not a single menacing thought behind those eyes.
"It's because the Prince really really loves his cake." I mean, technically it was true. Jungkook never passed up an opportunity to squeeze, smack, or dig his fingernails into your ass during your sessions.
"Oh." Jiyoo pouts. "So it's not because you're like, in love or anything?" Her eyes are glued to the floor. You were expecting this question eventually, as the other girls in the kitchen were already suspecting it. It was only a matter of time before word slipped into the girl's ears.
"As much as I enjoy the Prince's interest in my baking, it isn't my place to confess any sort of feeling for him." Your answer is straightforward enough, so Jiyoo nods and hands you the letter. Another request.
Outside the Palace, Winter came like the wind. Lakes froze over, and couples tied up their skates and danced on the ice. The trees were bare and brown, not a single leaf persisting through the chilling breath of Jack Frost.
Jungkook had left for the Winter Palace, to volunteer and raise spirits up in the North. As heir to the throne, he was to be Commander in Chief of the Royal Armed Forces, and therefore needed to undergo intensive training in order to boost morale.
You're back home, and in your wake is your father, who has now grown tangibly tired. He's been on a strict diet of warm vegetable soup for about three months, now. His eyes are sunken, but he still wears a subtle smile even during his most trying days.
Match girls make their rounds at night, you watch as the lamplighters illuminate the streets with their tall ladders and their taller peacoats. Shop windows glow warm shades of yellow and creme; inscriptions on the glass create shadows on the white snow.
"Wow. It's almost as cold as the King's heart out here." You step outside one day with a cup of tea, sneaking in a cheeky smirk. Yeah, good one.
"I heard that!" You turn towards the little voice. A child, maybe about 9 or 10 years old is pointing at you. You squint at it.
"Well, it's true..." You mumble. You have a bit of change in your pocket, so you walk towards a stand to buy a hot bun and a paper.
"Chilly today, hon...Best you take this on the house." The tenant hands you a steaming cake wrapped in a simple cloth and your paper. You stick the paper in your dress pocket and take back your change. You nod a 'thank you.'
You spill the contents of your pockets on the dining table and snatch the paper, snapping it open. Your eyes eagerly skim the headline: "Prince Jungkook Fires Up Royal Army." Below is an article detailing the happenings of His Majesty. All of it sounded very intense, the running, strategizing, first aid training...Was there anything Prince Jeon couldn't nail on the first try?
You set the paper down and pick up your now lukewarm tea. In the back of your mind you're coping with the fact that the Spring Solstice is next week, and that marks the beginning of Jungkook's last season as a Prince.
The King is ill with tuberculosis, and recovery is unlikely. If Jungkook is to marry, it is next season and that was final.
Sitting at the window of his Winter Castle study, Jungkook plays with a ring nestled between his fingers. He looks out onto the lake, as if he's trying to reach you with his gaze. His heart is tight knowing that it would be the season he chooses his bride. Actually, he'd already made up his mind long ago. If his duty was to marry, there was no way to evade such a responsibility. He had to fulfill it, despite his anxieties.
He straightens up and walks out of the hollow room with a firm step.
You awaken with the sound of horse's hooves thudding against the Earth. It is yet to be dawn, and in the distance, thunder roars mightily.
A figure wearing a long, black hood hoists itself off of the animal, tying it to a nearby post. It walks towards an obscure entrance, unknown to many staff.
Intrigued, you wrap a blanket around yourself and peek out at the stranger. His fingers are shorter than his palms, and that's when he tosses of his hood, his eyes set on you. "Y/N..."
You're bewildered by his guise, questions filling your head.
"I was horny, so I left camp" He sits down at the counter, catapulting a cookie into his mouth.
You roll your eyes. "And the guards let you?! Jungkook!" You whisper-yelled at him, readjusting your makeshift blanket-dress.
"Obviously not!" He puffed out his chest with pride. "I bribed them," he smirks.
"You're insufferable," you scoff, your eyes wandering down to observe his physique. His shirt is anything but conservative, highlighting the muscle he'd earned through laborious, sweat-inducing drills. You can feel his eyes on your face as you observe him.
"You can't hide it either," he crosses his arms. "You're standing in the kitchen with a blanket around your naked body." He flicks his tongue. He steps forward, putting a finger under your jaw so you're looking him in the eye.
Your eyes fill with lust as he speaks over your lips. "Look at yourself..." A crash is heard in the other room.
Jungkook's head darts up and in a flash, he disappears into the night.
'Fuck.' You gather your dress from the floor and shuffle back to your chamber.
The first event of the season commences with the most exaltant of spirits as friends of old greet each other with youthful smiles. Juicy exposés, enticing tales, and thoughtful greetings are exchanged in the most formal manner, and the conversation is lively; the most controversial topic of conversation, however, is the rumor that Jungkook is to marry this season.
So far, he's been to four different private residences within his own Kingdom and has been invited, by the secretary of King Louis XVII to meet their daughter. It would be an understatement to say that stakes were high for the pending King.
You were kneading your dough a little too hard thinking about it. "Not so rough, y/n!" Ms.Kang snatches the mixture from your hands. "What is up with you lately, you're so tense! It's really disrupting the kitchen's dynamic."
You shrug it off. "It's going to be hard sedating Anastasie's sweet tooth, I suppose."
"Well, you seem to be doing just fine dealing with Jungkook's addiction to cakes...She's perfect for him, really." Ms.Kang throws more flour on your kneading table and steps off. You give up on the dough, covering it with a cloth and letting it rise.
Jungkook is tapping his feet, munching on finger sandwiches as he waits on you to make an appearance.
"Dearest Prince, look, I am wearing Mediterranean violet!" A duchess shouts as she passes by him, to which he raises his eyebrows at. Another, with dark green eyes approaches and begins speaking rapidly in French at him. Frightened and undereducated, his canned response was: "Excusez-moi, Pouvez-vous répéter plus lentement s'il vous plaît," to which the duchess furrows her eyebrows before something else catches her attention, elsewhere.
Truth is, Jungkook is incredibly shaken at the thought of announcing his engagement tonight. Well, that and the fact that you had yet to pop out of the kitchen. Man, those finger sandwiches were good.
As the night progresses, Jungkook realizes that if he doesn't get up on that platform and say what he needed to say, he'd have to say it in London. Setting his fears aside, he plants himself on top of the orchestral stage and taps a champagne glass with a cheese fork. The music comes to a stop.
With conviction, he begins: "The time has come that I announce my engagement. To all of my beloved friends, who have introduced me to the most beautiful, talented, diverse, and benevolent ladies I've come to get to know over the years, I thank you from the depths of my soul." He swallows and continues, his confident voice masking his trembling. "The life of a Prince is defined by the virtues presented to him at birth. Those virtues are: duty, responsibility, grace, kindness, mercy and integrity." Here comes the part, oh shit.
"I am abdicating my throne to my Cousin, the Duke of Namseong."
Silence sweeps the room. You poke your head out to see what was going on.
"...to marry the love of my life, y/n." He points at you. Your face is cherry red, and you find yourself dropping those same Danish fucking pastries all over the carpet.
"Shit," you fall on your knees, plucking them from the ground one by one. You don't know whether to run as fast as you can or to present yourself, but your body seems to be currently doing the latter. You go along with it.
Jungkook takes your hand tenderly on the stage. "I am unable to perform my duties as King, and therefore am ineligible for the throne." His touch gives you the will to continue beside him. You feel the pure fear rushing through your love's veins, and he knows that this is the hardest thing he'll ever have to do, yet he stands by his announcement.
So, if Jungkook doesn't get to be King of this World, he at least will forever be the King of Your Heart.
But all this, of course...is all in Your, dear reader, Head.
~
a/n:
hope you enjoyed.

okay genuine question bc I don't know enough about vague timeliness and vague ages. Isn't Cass supposed to be older than Jason in theory, and doesn't that make her like. in her Twenties?
So pre-New 52, Cass and Jason would have been roughly the same age, but its not actually said on page who would be older as far as I’m aware, we just get this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Batgirl (2000) #69)
I think people usually see Cass as older than him since her birthday [Jan 26] is earlier in the calendar year than his [Aug 16] (also Jason did spend 6 months dead & thus not aging, so even if he’d technically been older originally [like, his birthday being August of one year and hers being five months later in the following January], she’d have caught up & become older by a month in terms of physical age)
But also in the pre-New 52 world, it’s worth noting that that universe ended and the reboot happened before either her or Jason actually reached their 20s. Cass and Jason are both shown to be approximately 2 years older than Tim (Jason from basically the start if we consider how he was 15 at time of death and Tim was 13 when he got introduced shortly after, and how Tim turned 16 within a year [publication-wise] of when Cass starts being considered 18). We don’t really get ages for either Jason or Cass frequently by the end, but we do know Tim is 17 during Red Robin (which goes up to the end of the Pre-New 52 world) so if we keep the previously established age difference, that would have Jason & Cass both at around 19 right before the reboot.
But then the reboot happened, Tim got pushed back down to 16, Jason’s age is literally never officially addressed and his entire backstory gets altered so its not like we can really use the same timeline we previously had for him to determine it, and Cass is wiped from existence until 2015.
Every time we’ve gotten any indication on Cass’ age since she came back its just been to call her a teenager, without any specific age attatched to it, so like while it’s unclear by how much she was very likely aged down. Tim has been 16 the entire time. There was a vague hint that Jason’s gotta be at least in his twenties now in Red Hood #51 (because his friend from before Bruce took him in says she agreed to watch his apartment 12 years ago, meaning as long as he was 8 or older when Bruce took him in which by all versions of his story he absolutely was, then he’d be at least 20 now) but that’s really it.
Now it’s unclear if/how Infinite Frontier era may be altering all of this, but considering solicits for the Batgirls series do refer to Steph & Cass as teens it seems likely they’re keeping them around their reboot ages rather than restoring the old ones/letting them age. I hope they’re at least more in the 18/19 range of teens though and that gets addressed. (and similarly have Tim be closer to 17/18 now, though I doubt Batgirls would touch on that, it’d more likely be in his Urban Legends story. Jason I don’t think we’re getting any clearer indication on age any time soon though, I think DC just considers him nebulous early 20’s these days)
Soooo yeah. If the New 52 hadn’t happened Cass would prob be in her twenties and around Jason’s age, however… It did and he’s been implied to be around that age while she’s still considered a teen. I really wish Infinite Frontier had just right off the bat restored the old age differences (but nooooooo thatd make bruce seem too oooooold 😒)

Tumblr media
Pulling into my driveway, I sigh, finally home. I had to work late at the office and I told Yoonah to just order whatever she wanted to eat.
Thank god tomorrow is Saturday and I have off. When I became an accountant I made sure my work schedule was Monday through Friday and one Sunday a month. I worked last Sunday, so I have two days of uninterrupted peace
Putting my key in the lock, I turn it and open the door. I hear the tv blasting in the living room and laughing. Oh god who's here?
Walking into the living room, Yoonah looks up, "Hi dad"
"Hi"
Then I hear, "Hi Mr. Park"
My eyes immediately find hers. She smiles at me and waves. I swallow hard
"Hi Joanne"
I haven't seen her for two weeks. Since we slept together. I figured it was a one time thing. But I can't get her out of my head. She's all that's on my mind, popping up when I'm working, making me mess up and have to start all over again
I keep thinking of us together and how much I want more of her. But she's 19. She fucked her dad's friend and that's probably all it was. To see if I'd do it
"Jo's gonna sleep over ok dad? We're going to meet everyone at the mall tomorrow"
She sleeping here? God why am I being tortured? But I keep my face neutral
"Sure. Just don't make too much noise ok? I'm really tired"
"No problem Mr. Park", she smiles
Fucking hell
"Thanks. I'll be upstairs if you need me"
"Thanks dad"
I wave then basically run upstairs. Once in my room, I pace back and forth. How am I supposed to do this? I'm not going to sleep tonight with her in the house. My mind is going to be running like it is now and it's not going to stop
Fuck, since where have I become a fucking teenage boy again? I need to cut this out. I'm 38 for fucks sake, I shouldn't be obsessing over a girl
And she is a girl, still technically a teenager. I need to stop. Right now
Sighing, I go to the bathroom and turn on the shower, letting it run to get warm. In my room, I turn the tv on for some noise as I undress. I can't throw my clothes around since it's stupid suits so I have to fold and hang everything neatly so I can bring it to the dry cleaners. Once I do that, I get into the shower and try to clear my mind
Staring at my ceiling, I lay in bed unable to sleep. It three in the morning and I can't sleep. After I got out of the shower, I forced myself to watch some TV show to stop thinking about Joanne
They were downstairs for a long time, watching movies or tv shows or whatever. I don't know what teenage girls watch. I heard both of them come upstairs an hour ago, Yoonah going to her room and Joanne going to the guest bedroom
I wonder if she's asleep. If she feels weird being here again, being around me. I wonder if she wants me just like I want her. I don't know and it's fucking driving me insane. I shut my eyes tightly, trying to force myself to sleep
A little while later, I hear my door open. My eyes fly open and I lift my head. The door closes and I hear the lock turn
"Mr. Park?"
Oh fuck me, it's her
She walks closer to me, "Are you awake?"
I should pretend to be asleep, so she goes away. But I can't
"Yeah"
She sits on my bed next to me and I sit up, turning the lamp on. The dull light illuminates her and I see she's looking at me
"Can't sleep?", I ask
"No. You can't either?"
I shake my head, "Nope"
"Are you thinking of me?", she asks, and my heart pounds in my chest, "Like I'm thinking of you?"
And my heart stops. Like she's thinking of me?
"You...you're thinking about me?", I ask completely surprised
She nods, "I can't stop thinking about you. Not since.....it's even more than it usually is and it's driving me insane"
"Uh what?", I say like a dumbass
"I always thought about you but since we were together, you're all that's on my mind."
I can't answer because my brain isn't computing her words
She looks away, "And I just wanted to know if you think of me too. It's ok if you don't. I just want you to tell me the truth so I can stop driving myself crazy"
I don't even think, moving closer to her and kissing her softly. She kisses me back, her arms around my neck. And fuck fireworks go off
"I'm driving myself crazy thinking of you too. I thought...that it was just a one time thing for you. That you wanted to fuck your friend's dad and that's all it was"
She shakes her head, "That's never what it was. I told you last time, I want you"
"I want you too. So fucking much it's actually surprising me", I admit
She smiles and it's so fucking beautiful. How did I not notice that before? Her lips touch mine softly and I fall into her kiss. How am I feeling this way from a kiss? How?
I feel her hand move to my shirt but I stop her. I need to make things clear to her
"I don't think I can stop if we do this again", I tell her
"I can't either"
Ok wow, I did not expect that at all. She surprises me so much
"I don't know what this is right now", I say cautiously
Is this just sex? Does she want a relationship? What do I want? I know I want her but how?
"Does it have to be anything? Can't it just be us being together for now?", she asks
I nod. Yes it can be
"Yoonah can't know. No one can know"
"I know Mr. Park. I won't tell anyone. I just want you"
Thank god she understands that
"Ok", I whisper
She smiles, throwing herself on me, her lips crashing into mine. I kiss her back, letting her tongue in my mouth, holding her tightly. She pulls my shirt up and off, throwing it behind her. I don't know if this is such a good idea with Yoonah a few rooms away but I can't stop
"We have to be quiet this time"
She nods, "I can be quiet"
"Good girl"
The rest of our clothes fly off until she's sitting on me naked, tongues still down each other's throat, hands groping every where
Tumblr media
Pulling away from her lips, I lift her breasts and latch on to her nipple, sucking fast right away
"Fuck Mr. Park", she moans lowly
"Mmm", I answer, letting go of her and sucking on her skin in between her pretty boobs
Her hands fly in my hair and pull. She's already so wet, soaking me everywhere. Fuck I missed that. When I finish the hickey, she pushes my back
"Teach me", she whispers
I raise my eyebrow. Teach her what?
"Teach me how to ride you're cock"
My eyes pop out at her request
"I..you...have you...", I stutter
God I'm always stuttering like an idiot in front of her
"Yes but I want you to teach me what you like."
What I like? Is she for real?
"Please Mr. Park. I want to make you feel so good like you do for me. I want to be good for you"
Is this girl real? And if she is then why the fuck is she with me? What do I have that makes her want to actually learn what I like and do it?
"Can you teach me?"
I nod, "Yeah baby. Ok"
She kisses me, pushing me back down on my back. When she sits up, I hold myself up, moving her over me, feeling her dripping on my cock
"On baby", I tell her
She immediately sits on my cock, pushing herself down. She breathes heavily, eyes closed and face in pleasure as she opens around me. I just watch her in awe. She likes me inside her that much?
"So good Mr. Park", she whimpers
I nod
It is good, fucking amazing pleasure just from getting inside her
"Feels good baby?", I ask
She nods her head rapidly
"Almost baby. Keep going"
She slides down and I watch her pussy swallow my cock until I'm all inside her. She sits flush against my skin and I shiver. Again she's fucking throbbing on me so fucking fast already
"Tell me what to do Mr. Park"
"Bounce for me baby"
She slide up my cock then pushes herself back down, starting to bounce
"All the way baby, bottom me out in your pretty pussy"
She nods, slamming all the way down
"Fuck good girl. Faster"
I watch her lean on my thighs, riding me faster
"Good Mr. Park?"
"So good baby. Can you make yourself tighter?"
She clenches so hard, choking my cock. I gasp feeling the pleasure shoot through the roof
"Good?"
I nod. I can't speak. I watch her, mesmerized by the way her body moves. The way her breasts bounce, The way she bites her lip, the way sweat glistens on her body. My god she's perfect. My eyes move down, watching myself disappear inside her with every bounce
"Fuck baby"
"Hmmm?"
"God you're pretty pussy lips look so good on my cock"
"Mmm hmm"
"You look so fucking good on my cock", I add
"That's what I want Mr. Park. I want you to want me on your cock"
Well then she got her wish. "Baby I've wanted you back on my cock since the day I fucked you"
"You can have me Mr. Park", she pants, "Whenever you want"
That's what I want. Her
"You can have me too baby"
She nods, moving even faster, "Just want you. You ruined me for any other cock"
I smirk, "You wanted that, remember?"
"Yes I wanted it. So much."
"Well you got what you wanted baby"
She moans softly, getting impossibly tight on me. She's gonna cum and I'm so fucking excited
"Cum for me baby"
"But...but I want to..I.."
"You are making me feel good baby. You're doing everything I asked, everything I like. And I fucking love when you cum on me"
"Yyy..you do?"
"Oh yeah baby. It feels so fucking good. I want it again"
"I...I..."
I like that I'm giving her so much pleasure that she can't talk. I like that she likes being with me
"Shh baby. You asked me to teach you what I like. Well I like when you cum all over my cock. And if you want to please me, you'll do what I want"
She nods, "Yes Mr. Park. Want to please you"
"So cum for me"
She bounces a few more time, the immense pleasure rushes me as I watch her cum
"Mr. Park!", she moans
Oh my fucking God she's fucking beautiful. I didn't get to see her last time we had sex but now I can see her clearly. The pleasure all over her face, the way she shakes, the way she moans, how her chest is heaving from breathing hard. And the way she pulls and clenches my cock, soaking me in her cum. Everything is fucking incredible. She rocks on me as she finishes, making some cute noises
"Again baby?", I ask, touching her body, feeling her skin shiver under my fingers. God I like that
"Mr. Park-"
"Please baby?"
"Ok Mr. Park"
I move my hands to her hips, helping her bounce on me. I catch sight of her creamy cum all over my cock and it drives me fucking insane. I help her come back down and I thrust up hard into her, meeting her
"Oh god", she groans as I hit her spot
"Right there baby", I smirk
She pants, nodding. We keep moving together, my cock hitting her spot every time. She's so wet, it's all over my pelvis and leaking off me. It's fucking amazing
"Mr. Park", she cries lowly, her hands gripping my arms so tightly as she explodes all over me again
"Yes baby. Oh fuck. So good. Such a good girl for me", I praise her
She doesn't answer but it's ok. Her moans are answer enough. When she's done, I take her off me
"Mr. Park what-"
"Shhh baby. You're still gonna ride me ok?"
She nods. I help maneuver her so she's facing away from me, on her hands and knees. God the view is so fucking hot. Her perky ass is on display as well as her sopping hole gets juice all over me
"Move back a little baby"
Her ass wiggles as she backs up
"Right there"
She stops and I help her get my head inside her pussy
"Down baby"
She slams down getting me in in one stroke
"Oh god", I moan
"Can I fuck you Mr. Park?", she whimpers
"Yeah baby. Go"
She moves up and down while I grab her ass and squeeze hard. She takes all of me in over and over, leaving my cock a wet mess. I bite my lip to keep from yelling at the sheer pleasure. Her little hole takes me so fucking well and I can watch it stretch out with every slam she gives. She shifts her hips and when she slams on me her entire body shakes
"Yes", she moans
She found her spot. She moves faster, driving my cock right into that spot
"Fuck baby, such a good girl fucking you're spot on my cock"
"Yes Mr. Park"
"Faster baby. Go harder"
I'm actually surprised when she spreads her legs wider and fucks me harder and faster. I love watching her. She's like a fucking bunny with how she's going at it. She throbs harder, sending sparks of pleasure through me
"Gonna make a mess on my cock baby?"
"Mmm hmmm....big mess Mr. Park"
Good. I can't wait. I slap her ass hard, making a moan leave her throat. She's so close and I want it now
"C'mon baby. Cream my cock good"
"Fuck! Mr. Park!", she groans, orgasming hard
She keeps moving as she orgasms, her cum soaking my cock more and more with every bounce
"Fuck", I moan, "I'm gonna cum"
"Yes Mr. Park. Please"
"Gonna fill your pussy to the brim", I groan
"Yes yes yes", she urges
"Fuck Joanne", I cry lowly, holding her on my cock as I shooting cum deep inside her, pure pleasure blinding me
Her pussy pulses sucking all my cum. After, we both lay in the position for a few minutes. She moves off me and heads to my bathroom. I hear the water running for a few minutes, then she comes back to me. I jump when I feel a towel on me. She's runs it on my cock, thighs and pelvis
"Ok Mr. Park?"
"Yeah", I answer sleepily
She takes the towel back to the bathroom, then comes back, pulling her clothes back on. She hovers over me, running her fingers in my hair and kisses my cheek
"Night Mr. Park"
"Night Joanne"
She smiles, then walks away
I hear my door unlock, open then close. I'm so fucking sleepy and I can't help but smile as I close my eyes

Can you write a one shot (as long as you want, just not a blurb, thz) where there is a big family dinner, both Hollands and Osterfields, plus friends, so like Tuwaine is also there, Haz' gf is there, and Charlotte has inviteret her best friend, you, (just age Charlotte up, cuz she is only 19, so like 23). And Tom falls so bad for her, but she is his best friends little sisters best friend (hope it isn't too confusing), so it's kinda complicated. You can choose the rest <3 love u
A/N: Thank you for sending it in! I hope this is what you were looking for! I have aged up Charlotte and reader, they are both 23, hope that's okay. I kept with the concept 💕
Warnings: Language and implied sex.
Tom had met you a couple of times and he couldn't help the way you made his heart race, he really wished it wouldn't. When he says he's met you though, he's never properly spoken to you, you're so quiet. Not that he thought that was a bad thing he just didn't know how to speak to you.
He'd realised that if he ever did want to get to know you better he was going to have to initiate the conversation. So here he was sat next to Tuwaine, as they chatted with the rest of his family and waited for everyone else to show up.
"Hey!" Harrison waved, followed by Grace and Charlotte, who were all waving. You behind them all as you shyly waved your hand in everyone's direction. Tom thought it was absolutely fucking adorable. He tried to shake the thought from his head. You were his best friend's sister's best friend (as confusing as that sounded).
Although he knew it was technically fine, you were the same age as Charlotte, 23, something about pursuing you felt wrong. What if it didn't work out? Things would be awkward, right? But then if it did work out, who would care? Tom cursed the part of his brain that was pushing him to be selfish. You could have a boyfriend for all he knew.
Everyone took their seats and you quietly sat next to Tom and Charlotte. Tom's heart was racing again as it always did in your presence.
"Hey." Tom said and you offered a small smile in response, almost as though you didn't trust your voice. Tom realised that for someone like you, sitting next to someone who was famous might be nerve racking.
"He doesn't bite." He heard Charlotte whisper to you and you swallowed thickly before turning your attention to him.
"Hi." You said and although it was quiet, he heard it loud and clear and your voice sounded beautiful to him.
"I don't think we've ever actually had a proper conversation. Tom." He spoke confidently despite the hammering in his chest, he wondered how no one else could hear it.
"Y/N." You said as you smiled at him. He realised he just needed to get you to relax in order to have a conversation with you.
You made small talk for a while as you slowly came out of your shell, not too much but enough to carry a conversation and Tom felt himself growing more of a need to get to know you.
"So what is it you do?" Tom asked.
"I'm a nurse." You spoke confidently and the answer honestly shocked Tom, he was not expecting that.
"Wow," he couldn't help himself saying. "So how did you meet Charlotte?" He continued the conversation.
"We're neighbours. A few conversations here and there and now we're best friends." You smiled, Tom found himself wanting to ask you every question under the sun, he wanted to get to know everything about you.
**
The dinner had gone really well but thoughts of you would not leave Tom for the life of him. He wanted you to open up completely to him, he didn't want you to feel shy in any respect when it came to him.
"Something on your mind?" Haz laughed as he waved a hand in front of your face.
"More like someone." Tuwaine laughed as Tom shot him a glare, Tuwaine raising his hands in defence.
"Who? Do tell." Harrison asked.
"No one, Tuwaine's just being a dick." Tom said as he laughed.
"Oi." Tuwaine shouted as he reached across to punch his best friend in the arm. "Less of that." He added and Tom laughed.
Harrison left the room at some point and Tom glared at Tuwaine.
"What?"
"Don't do that!" Tom groaned. "He'd kick my fucking arse." Tom added and Tuwaine looked at him in confusion.
"Why would he do that?"
"Because, she's his sister's best friend." Tom grumbled.
"And?" Tuwaine couldn't see the problem, he doesn't understand why Tom hasn't just asked you out.
"What if it didn't work out? What if things got awkward between us all." Tom said as he ran his hands over his face before pulling on his hair.
"Do you like her?" Tuwaine asked.
"I don't really know her that well." Tom sighed, hoping to get Tuwaine off his back.
"When we were at that dinner it was no one else was there. You hardly spoke to anyone else once she'd shown up. I think you do." He teased.
"T," Tom sighed, "I can't okay? Can we just leave it at that?" Tom grumbled and Tuwaine shrugged his shoulders before carrying on what he was doing.
**
Tom felt guilty at times he really did but being in your bed, stroking your face as you slept made it all seem worth it. At some point something changed, you ended up spending time together away from everyone else, you opening up to him completely.
"Let me walk you home." Tom said as he spoke to you on your break at work.
"Tom, I'm fine. I live like five minutes away from my house. It seems ridiculous for you to walk here when you'd literally have to walk past my house." You laughed on the other end of the line and his chest filled with warmth, he was happy you'd finally opened up.
"I just wanna make sure you get home safe. I'll drive instead of walk." He offered.
"What would Charlotte think if she saw your car dropping me off?" You teased and Tom felt guilt fill his chest before he pushed it away.
"I'll walk." Tom settled on.
"Such a gentleman."
"Just wanna make sure you're safe." He reiterated. He did but he also wanted to spend time with you.
**
"I don't get it! You disappear, practically become untraceable for weeks and you show up on my doorstep at half three in the morning." You shouted at him, he'd tried so hard to stay away from you but he couldn't, you were on his mind too much.
"I just wanted to see you. I thought we were friends?" Tom fired back, he was frustrated, not with you but with himself.
"Friends don't just appear on your doorstep at half three in the morning after ignoring you." You snapped back at him, he'd never seen you angry and he wondered if he'd hurt your feelings by staying away.
"That's my problem! I don't want to be your friend!" Tom practically screamed at you. He watched as your face fell and tears welled in your eyes.
"Then why'd you show up? You could've just stayed away. Are you here because you think we're obligated to be friends, because of Haz and Charlotte?" You asked, voice dripping with hurt, tone soft.
"That's not what I'm trying to say." He said as he pulled on his hair.
"Then what the fuck are you trying to say?" You yelled back, hurt tears falling from your beautiful eyes and Tom couldn't stop the next words leaving his lips as he looked at you so vulnerable.
"I'm trying to tell you that I am in love with you!" He shouted at you and you froze, looking at him.
"What?" You asked voice small. He wasn't sure whether or not it's what you wanted too hear.
"I'm in love with you." He didn't try and hide the fact that he'd said it, the whole street had probably heard by now. He was thankful Charlotte was away on holiday. "I'm in love with you and I know it complicates things, complicates everything but I can't help it." He admitted. "I've tried, fuck I've tried to get over it, that's why I stayed away but it just made me miss you more."
He was standing closer to you now, you were yet to make a sound and he feared you'd reject him. He thought you were going to when he saw your face twist in anger.
"How dare you Tom Holland." You said as you pushed his chest. "How dare you make me fall for you and then disappear off the face of the earth like I meant nothing to you."
"Y/N..."
"No Tom, it's not fair! I've been sat here for weeks wondering what I did to upset you. Turns out you stayed away because you feel the same way I do. That is fucking bullshit Tom!" You screamed at him and he swears your neighbours were going to be pissed at you now for waking them up so late.
"I know, I'm sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt you." He admitted and he watched your anger wash away as a look of pure hurt took over your features.
"But you still did." You said quietly and Tom took your hands in his, your eyes snapping to his and there was so much emotion between the two of you that he stopped thinking about anyone else. His only thoughts were on you and the fact that you loved him back, his lips met yours in a needy kiss as he wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you to him, your hands fisting his shirt as you tried to pull him closer to you.
It was desperate, weeks of built up tension being given in one kiss. His hand found your hair as yours continued to fist his shirt. His heart was pounding in his chest, he wanted this, wanted you and that was all he could think about. You both pulled back when you needed air.
"Don't ever do that to me again." You spoke as you rested your head on his chest.
"After that baby, I'm never letting you go again."
**
That was six months ago. Six months of sneaking around and pretending you weren't in love with one another. Tom was finding it increasingly difficult, he wanted to show you off to the world, he was so in love with you yet he couldn't hold your hand in public or even in the private settings that involved his friends and it was eating away at him.
"Can't sleep?" You pulled him from his thoughts as your eyes flickered open, Tom looked at the clock, it was two thirty in the morning.
"Just had a lot on my mind." He said as he moved stray strands of hair from your face.
"Wanna talk about it?" You asked, concern lacing your tone. He shook his head as he gave you a kiss on the forehead.
"Go back to sleep." He spoke as he littered your face with sweet and ghostlike kisses.
"Hard to do when some creepy stalker is staring at you." You teased and he laughed.
"Maybe if someone," he bumped his nose with his own, "didn't look so pretty all the time, I wouldn't stare." He said.
"Stalker." You laughed teasingly as you turned onto your side. Tom wrapping his arms around you as he kissed your shoulder, eventually finding comfort in your soft snores as he let sleep pull him under.

"Right, what the fuck is going on?" Charlotte suddenly said and Tom snapped his gaze to the woman, confusion on his features.
"What?" He asked as she eyed you both carefully.
"The looks. You look at her like she's the only person here." Charlotte said and you bit your lip as you looked at your lap.
"Nothing." Tom said.
"Actually, I wanna know what's going on as well. You barely ever sleep here anymore, where are you going?" Haz chimed in and Tom felt his palms grow sweaty.
"And you're more bothered about the times I come and go." Charlotte pointed an accusatory finger at you.
"Wait, wait, wait. Are you two fucking?" Haz asked, amused look on his face.
"Would make sense." Charlotte shrugged. Tom looked at you as you looked back at him. You were pleading with him to handle this, pleading with him to say something.
"Kind of." Tom said carefully, hoping to gauge their reactions. He watched you for your reaction and you looked as frightened as he felt about them finding out.
"What do you mean kind of?" Charlotte laughed.
"He means," he was shocked as he heard your voice as you cleared your throat. "He means that yeah we're sleeping together but not just fucking." You admitted and Tom lifted his eyebrows, he wasn't expecting you to take charge on confirming your relationship.
"You mean?" Charlotte asked as her face lit up.
"Yeah." You said as you moved to sit next to Tom, taking his hand in yours as they both watched your interaction.
"I fucking knew it!" Haz screamed. "You owe me a tenner." He gloated and Charlotte huffed.
"I thought she'd have told me." Charlotte defended herself.
"Wait, you're not mad?" Tom asked.
"Mad? Why would we be mad?" Haz asked confusion written all over his features.
"Because she's your sister's best friend." Tom said as if it was obvious.
"And? If she makes you happy I don't care. Plus, it's not our business. You're both adults." Haz said and Tom laughed.
"I however am pissed. You should have told me and then I wouldn't owe him a tenner." Charlotte teased and Tom felt you relax, he followed as he pulled you into his side and kissed the top of your head as Haz fake gagged.
"Now I wish we hadn't have asked, I'm gonna have to watch you all over each other."
"Haz, shut up. It's cute." Charlotte said as she watched Tom place a loving kiss to your temple before capturing your lips, watching as you both became wrapped up in each other. She couldn't help but feel happy for her best friend as she nudged Harrison slightly and gestured for them to leave the room.
