I already have hubbys so this is for fun.

Alright, I’m what you call a secret introvert. I act like I’m an extrovert and love ta be around people but the moment I’m by myself I crash and recharge for a week. I’m a perseverance soul, so I’m always findin different ways ta solve my problems and reach my goals. I’m also a perfectionist that likes ta clean as a form of procrastination so that I don’ have ta start an do badly. I’m always observin my surroundins without anyone realizin it and I’m always on guard even when I look like I’m relaxed. But I’m mostly an old soul that wants ta snuggle up in bed with a good book, tea, and old school jazz playin in the background.

I love art, I love animation, makin animations and watchin. I love a good book, I love plants, I love guardanin, I love space an studyin constalations, I love cookin while dancin. On lazy days ya can catch me in long skirts dancin an makin myself somethin new, I love workin out, I love interior decoration, makeup, doin my hair, an comin up with new outfit designs.

I like people who are on my same wavelength, overexcited people freak me out when they say they like me, same with shy people, I’m scared I’ll break em. I just need someone I can flirt with an dote on who will do the same ta me. As long as they don’ mind when I become clingy we’re good.

I hate people who don’ wanna work, bein lazy is one thing, but if you actively go outta ya way ta do stuff ya piss me off. I already struggle findin motivation without you tyin me down. Also sensitive people, I’ll feel like I’m always hurtin ya feelins cause I’m an honest an blunt person. I don’ wanna be walk-in on eggshells all the time.

Deal breakers are long distance, and people that keep secrets. Just cause I don’ show it, doesn’ mean I’m not an anxious person. Those two things will send me spiralin an I could never trust them.

Lol, have fun Nicky~💜

Ooh, well, you may have hubbys but this could be just next buddy! Who knows? Lol

Anyway, I love how you describe yourself, it really helped me out!! Hehe

I suppose neutral on the baby area so.. I think I got the perfect match for you!

I match you with...

Papy! Undertale Papyrus!

Okay so, I really snatch him up with you since your soul trait is what he likes most! People that try hard to achieve their goals really gets his attention.

Honestly, you're someone who Papy would want to befriend but quick to get his attention in the.. romantic area lol.

He totally gets you, he also likes being around his friends and family or well, just people in general buy sometimes he just feels like needing some space so he totally respects you and will be there if you need anything!

Believe me, this man would clean the house 3 times a day if he could but he knows that he may be taking part of what you like to do so he leaves it for you! Or you could also take turns on the cleaning or just the daily chores!! Organization!!

He isn't in guard all the time since he trusts people, of course he knows that there's still meanies out there but he may not be on guard 24/7 but he has the fastest reflexes you've ever seen, he's like spiderman (tell him that and he will rant about his movies) always catching most of the stuff around him. Amazing.

While he wouldn't call himself an old soul, he would love to chat with you about what you would want to do on your dates! He will say what he would want to do and will listen to yours, he wants both of your choices to be done at some point. One day you're cuddling while reading some book, jazz music on the background. And other day you're eating on a picnic!

He doesn't want you to be left out nor him being left out. Both of you get to pick something!

Oh, this man loves his tea, of course. Cinnamon one better but could drink any type of tea, if he has no choice then coffee, blame his brother.

This man also have a lot of hobbies! Not exactly on the art area but on the diy projects! He loves working with wood, clay, knitting, all of it! He doesn't like having free time, pls stop him sometimes to take a break.

You like making new outfits??? Count him in!! On you making him more outfits, of course. He would love to see your new ideas! Skirts, jeans, pants, dresses, heels, boots, anything! He likes to model around and feel so handsome.

Papy knows how to control himself with his energy, yes he has s lot of energy but can control it, that's why most of the time he is doing something! He can get a little nervous with your flirting but once he knows how you do that he will start flirting back and man, he knows how to flirt. 😳

He is very versatile, he can be flirting in some seconds but when he sees you want some love he's all snuggly! Anything for you!!

He's your number one fan. Hands down.

Your deal breakers are keeping secrets? This guy can die and everyone will know his secrets lol. Besides being a little too.. easy to read, once he trust you, he tells you everything!

Of course, he would hesitate if it's someone's else secrets. But literally he will tell how many birds he saw, what did he chat with his brother, his work, that stuff! He loves tiny details like that!

Papy at some point would like to have kids, 2 are fine but it is on his mind being a dad! And if you don't want to carry it's alright, he can do that! ...just tell him to rest.

Hope you like who you got!! <3

If you're curious, the closest one would have been Clyde! Really close up with Bonnie!

so simple yet so easily forgotten by so many of us.

our approach to studies is often unrealistic: we think that pulling all-nighters, skipping meals or isolating from all sources of entertainment in order to study will bring us academic success. it might be working out in the beginning, but the truth is, you cannot accomplish anything in the long term if you do not regularly satisfy the most basic needs of your brain and yourself as an organism.

it took me over three years to realise this, and now i cannot stress it enough. relax. move. eat. drink. breathe. work hard, take care of yourself harder.

A Dance of Stars - Undercover Dancer 2 (1/5)

(I lied. Thanks to @random-rave for the concept, outline, etc etc. Chapter 2 should be up in a couple weeks.) ao3 link - https://archiveofourown.org/works/22918666/chapters/54782566 Magnolia Magic Police Department, lunch time.

The city was going through a rather slow time crime-wise, with only a few reports on minor incidents needing to be dealt with lately. The same thing happened every spring, with more people focusing on enjoying the weather than breaking the law.

That’s why Lucy sat at her desk flipping through an intimidating pile of paperwork while she munched on her chef’s salad. Her brow was furrowed, and she was so caught up in her reading that she didn’t even notice movement at the desk next to hers.

Specifically, she didn’t see Natsu wheel his chair over until his warm hand was massaging her shoulder.

“What’s up, babe?”

“Hey, Natsu. I’m just looking over financial stuff for the wedding and honeymoon. I never realized how expensive this stuff was...” Heavy sigh. Gentle shoulder squeeze.

“Don’t worry. We’ll figure somethin’ out, even if it takes a while.”

“You’re right. Thanks.”

“Hey, no problem.” His words and the swift kiss that followed made her feel a lot better.

Unfortunately their kiss was interrupted when Cana walked in.

“You guys still sorting out money stuff?”

“Yeah...” Lucy let out a sigh. Natsu squeezed her shoulder again. Cana grinned, this sneaky gleam in her eye. “Why? What are you up to?”

“Oh darling, I’m not up to anything. I just had a little idea that could help you out, that’s all.”

“…Idea?”

“Yep! Given certain past assignments, I think you’d be a natural.” Cana winked. Lucy’s face went bright red. Natsu just looked clueless.

“Does this...idea of yours have anything to do with your boyfriend’s club?”

“Only everything, smart girl.” Lucy wailed. Cana rolled her eyes. “Don’t give me that. We all know you had fun dancing last time, and we’ve all seen the videos. You’re damn good at it.”

“She’s phenomenal at it.” Another shoulder squeeze, this one rather amorous. Lucy knew full well what Natsu thought of her dancing.

“Anyway, Bacchus’s club is co-ed, and he’s always looking for new talent…” The lovebirds glanced at each other. Lucy bit her lip, not sure what to do or say or even think about this suggestion.

That was when Natsu broke the silence.

“We could at least give it a try.”

“I guess...wait. What do you mean we, Natsu?”

“Well this is our future we’re talkin’ about. I wanna help.”

“You’d do that for me?”

“Duh, for us.”

“I’m sure Bacchus will let you two audition no problem, but only if you want to.” Cana sat at her desk, filing her nail as she waited for a response.

Lucy thought for a moment, eyes on Natsu the whole time. Then…

“Let’s do it.”

Cana looked mighty pleased with the whole turn of events. Natsu hugged Lucy, clearly thrilled that she was all for this plan.

Lucy smiled...but she knew one thing:

They had a lot of work to do.

~~~ Casual dancing as part of an undercover assignment was not the same as stripping with the intention to earn money. Lucy knew that, and also knew she would have to up her dancing game if she wanted this endeavor to be successful.

In short she would have to put her heart, mind, and soul into this, along with her body.

So she did. She researched and studied, taking notes on a variety of rather steamy strip club video feeds. There was a reason these women were pros. They really knew how to move, how to captivate and seduce with nothing more than the right moves and the perfect expression.

Lucy sighed, suddenly feeling very inadequate.

“Still studyin’?”

Natsu’s voice shook her out of her musing.

“Yeah. Trying to anyway. All these girls seem so...perfect and I’m...not.” Another sigh. He glanced at the screen, shrugged, focused on her.

“You see perfect, I see flat, boring, disinterested. The opposite of you, Luce.”

“You...you mean that…?”

“Duh. Every night you got on stage you always seemed happy to be there. You were winning the crowd and having fun with it. That’s pretty damn perfect to me. But then, you’re perfect to me.”

“Thanks, Natsu.” A sweet kiss with a hint of spice. “Want a special preview of my audition?”

“You bet I do.” Another, arguably steamier, kiss. She giggled and led him to their bedroom with a finger wiggle and a smile.

So she danced for him, giving him the show of a lifetime as she peeled off her uniform.

...Then she handcuffed him to the bedpost and climbed on top of him, eager to convey exactly how much she loved and appreciated him.

Much later, after both were quite satisfied and the cuffs were removed, Natsu pulled Lucy into a cuddle.

“You’re gettin’ better at dancin’.”

“Thanks, love...” Two sleepy mumbles followed by a kiss and a snore as they dozed off in one another’s arms. For the first time since this whole dancing thing reared its head, Lucy felt comfortable with it, even confident…

...All thanks to a certain pink haired goofball... ~~~ Flash forward to the following afternoon. Natsu and Lucy went to Bacchus’s club well before business hours. Cana met them at the door and led them to the main stage area, where Bacchus sat.

Introductions were made. Hands were shaken.

“Lucy, you first. Let’s see your magic.” She gulped, trying to keep stage fright from setting in. Natsu noticed, squeezed her hand, kissed her cheek, whispered.

“You’ve got this, baby. Go on.”

She bit her lip and nodded, then made her way to the stage as the lights dimmed.

Hypnotic beats, the same song she had practiced to countless times. Even last night with Natsu she had been a little shy, a little hesitant.

But not now.

All that hesitation and shyness?

Gone.

Her every move commanded attention. Even the subtle motions like nibbling her lip and unzipping her top conveyed raw sexual energy. Power. Less shy rookie girl, a bit closer to goddess.

And she knew it, from the dark gleam in her eyes and the saucy smile. She dropped the top to the ground, let her hands brush over her breasts, barely concealed by a little black string bikini. Those same hands pushed the soft material to the side, a trick she had learned from all her research. A loud whistle from the corner.

She spun around the pole, turned to face away from her quite captivated audience. Her hips swayed in time with the music, and her skirt fell down her legs.

Another trick, upside down splits. The bikini bottoms were untied and tossed right at her lover, revealing a tiny shimmering thong underneath. One last twirl around the pole, finishing with her legs in the air and her hair swirling around her. Her heart was racing, blood was rushing to her head.

And she was smiling. Holy shit, she had forgotten just how much fun dancing was.

Standing ovation from Cana, Bacchus, and Natsu. No surprise, Natsu was beaming and cheering.

"That's my woman right there!"

Moments later she was standing upright again, re-adjusting her bikini as Cana and Bacchus deliberated. The look on Natsu’s face exuded pure pride over his girl’s talents.

“Pretty hot, Lu.” Cana nudged her boyfriend, who was acting almost...disinterested? Aloof? “What did ya think, Bacchy?”

“I think I’ve seen worse from girls who’ve been doing this for years. You’re hired.”

Instant relief teamed with joy. Lucy squealed. Natsu grabbed her, spun her around, and kissed her.

“Told ya.”

“You definitely did. Thanks, Natsu.” Nose nuzzle. For a few sweet seconds they cuddled, until Bacchus’s voice brought them back to earth.

“Alright, pinky. You’re up.”

Natsu nodded, all smiles as he went to the stage. Lucy relaxed, knowing that someone as confident as he was couldn’t possibly mess this up…

Or, that’s what she thought she knew. She didn’t realize, couldn’t have predicted, just how wrong she could be.

The whole routine, if you could call it that, was a trainwreck.

First sign of trouble – he made a bee line to the pole. His grin expressed confidence. His actions expressed complete and utter foolishness.

“What the hell is he doing?!” She could hear Bacchus growling to Cana over the music. The feeling of dread that had started pooling in her tummy spread through her body, heating her cheeks in an embarrassed blush. If she could have crawled under the table and hid, she very likely would have.

What….was he doing? Well, by the looks of it, he was trying to imitate Lucy’s dance moves...trying being the operative word. It was, after all, rather difficult considering how different their bodies were. A man simply could not do this sort of dance the same way a woman could.

To his credit, he did look pretty sexy when he pulled his shirt up over his head...at least until his arms got tangled.

Then to make the whole thing worse, once he managed to wriggle the shirt off he grabbed the pole, tried to spin but ended up tripping over his own feet and faceplanting into the stage floor with an “oof!”

“Okay, we’re done here.” Bacchus groaned. He gestured and the music stopped. Lucy ran over to help Natsu up off the ground, her need to support her fiance overwhelming any embarrassment she felt...which in this case was a lot.

She honestly wanted to glare at him, but the sad, apologetic look he flashed her quenched any anger. Instead, she felt bad for him, sympathetic. He had at least tried, the poor dummy. So she squeezed his hand, hoping to convey loving support. Right now she knew he needed it.

“Natsu, man, you’re gonna need a lot of work before I let you on my stage again.”

Natsu nodded. He didn’t look embarrassed, mostly disappointed. He sat down while the others discussed scheduling, taking a rare moment of silent thought.

“Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends are our busiest days. We need all the talent we can get to bring customers in.”

“That’s...perfect, actually. It’s down time at the precinct so we’re off Friday through Monday right now.” She smiled. She was trying her best to play it cool but the truth is, she felt pretty excited.

“Great. Now let’s get this over with. Here’s the club’s rules and security waiver. Read through these and sign when you’re done.”

Once all the necessary paperwork had been signed, they shook hands again. Bacchus said something that made Lucy’s eyes brighten. Then he took a swig from his hip flask and went to his office, claiming a need to work on business stuff.

Cana grinned a sneaky grin and patted Lucy’s ass before sneaking off to presumably join her boyfriend.

Business stuff, indeed…

That left Lucy alone with Natsu. She slipped her skirt and top back on then walked over to him. One hand stroked over his shoulder.

“How’re you feeling, love?”

“Bummed but I’ll get over it.” Heavy exhale. Then he took one look at Lucy, grinned, and pulled her into his arms. Flirting and cuddling always helped when he was in a bad mood. “You were incredible out there, by the way. Even better than usual.”

“Thanks.” Sexy grin. They shared a delicious kiss. Her hand ruffled through his hair and their noses touched. “Oh...Bacchus said to tell you something.”

“Huh? What’d he say?”

“He wants to give you a second chance, but only if you take it seriously. Get lots of practice...and don’t just try to copy me, alright?”

“It’s hot when you do it, though.” He nibbled her lip and let one hand roam under her skirt.

“Down, boy. Not till we get home.” Soft giggle and finger waggle. “I can train you if you want. Give you private lessons when we’re not on call...you’ll be dancin’ like a pro in no time...You already have the body for it...” To emphasize this she traced a finger over from his shoulder to his collarbone.

“Private lessons, huh?”

“Yeah. Just you and me, one on one...” She was so close to him she could hear his heart racing as she brushed her lips against his ear. She knew damn well she was playing with fire...oh well, they’d deal with that particular “problem” when they got home… “You like that idea?”

He nodded. His next words, a growl. “I’m all fired up now, Lucy.”

Your ocs. Tell me about your fave

I’ve talked about her a bit before, but honestly, I can never get enough of it. Here’s a few quick links to where I’ve talked about her before, if you like:

Her character intro

Tragic Backstory

random facts

What makes her happy

Pre Series short about her meeting her nephew

Quick recap, ‘cause that’s a lot of links and I don’t blame you for not wanting to go through them ;)

Her name is Talitha Jade. She’s a pirate, sort of. Mostly she’s a pirate because she’s not affiliated with any military or merchant group. She kind of goes her own thing. Before meeting Aishlynn Mynerva, she mainly just visited the ruins of a lost civilization and tried to learn as much about their history, culture, and magic as she could. She’s kind of a magical genius, and she loves learning.

Two years before the opening of The Martyr Queen, she lost her baby sister; brother in law; and young nephew all in one day. She got revenge against the man that killed them (better known as their father) and gave up her birthright to the College of Magus and City of Illuminara.

Now she works with Alinora Mynerva & friends to stop Kai’os from destroying the world.

Fun, right?

Oh, and one other thing I forgot to mention! She’s at least partially deaf, if not fully deaf. She uses magic to make up for that in important situations, but mostly just lets it be. She and her grew have come up with their own sort of sign language. I really need to make up my mind as to how deaf she is, but she’s being particularly stubborn.

Just like she won’t let me know if she’s bi or pan. *sigh*

Anyway!

So, recap done. One thing I’ve kind of wanted to do with her is talk in her voice? I’m going to grab some questions from Arthur Aron’s Intimacy Questions and answer them in her voice. If you’re not interested, no hard feelings–I’ll be sticking this under a readmore ;)

Thank you for giving me this opportunity, even if you probably didn’t intend on it~

I’m going to do 5 of these, because 5 is a nice number!

If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

Talitha hums. “I’d like to tell you no, that I believe in living life to the fullest every day, so there’s no reason for me to change. That would be a lie. I mean, I try to live life to the fullest, but… I’m only mortal. And not even a foresighted one either! Not that I’d want that power. That’s one portion of magic my sticky fingers will stay far, far away from.” She shudders.

“Anyway. I’d write a letter to my half brother. Give him some of the advice I’ve collected throughout the years. Maybe give him a perspective on being the boss. I’ve never led a city, but I imagine it’s like a larger scale version of bossin’ around my crew.” She shrugs. “I’d spend more time with my crew, and my friends. Maybe try to make Alinora less gloomy. Get Aishlynn to be a proper big sister instead of an asshole.

“And then, I dunno. When it got closer to the date, I’d probably see about goin’ after one of the Anari’s lost cities. I mean, if I was gonna die anyway, I might as well brave those terrible storms, right? And who knows, maybe they could prevent my death? Or maybe they couldn’t. At least I know a good reaper.” She grins.

What does friendship mean to you?

“Eh, it means a lot of things. When I think of my friends I think of someone who’s loyal. They have my back, even when I’m doing stupid shit. They respect me enough to tell me when my ideas are harebrained, and trust me enough to back off when I say I have it handled. But they also know me well enough to know sometimes I don’t, so they insist on sticking with me anyway.

“I think of people who tell me what they think, but who occasionally tell me a little white lie to spare my feelings. I think of people with open shoulders and open arms, who don’t mind listening, and who know they can come to me in turn.” Talitha shrugs.

“I guess that wasn’t really the point of the question, though, was it?” She sighs. “Friendship means a lot to me, let’s put it that way. I don’t have much in the way of family any more, so my friends? My crew? They’re my family now, and that means they’re important. Near the top of my list, really.”

How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

Talitha snorts. “I’m pretty happy about the relationship we have now, actually. By which I mean not having one. She left me to basically raise my baby sister under my father’s thumb. She didn’t come back until after my sister was dead and my father had been brought to justice–by me. And when she did come back, she had a whole new family. New man, new son… It was like Lyn and I had never even existed! And then she had the nerve to act all regretful that she had never gotten to meet James and Tommy. Well. It wasn’t like I made myself hard to find. I’m pretty fuckin’ famous, y’know?”

She shakes her head. “Ask me somethin’ else. I don’t wanna talk about this anymore.”

What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

Talitha hums. “Me an’ my crew on the open sea. Wind behind us and the horizon ahead of us. Singin’, dancin’, watchin’ shadow plays in the sails…” She sighs. “Maybe hit an Anari ruin, maybe just kinda float on the open ocean. That’s a perfect day.”

Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

“Yeah. I want to try to make it through one of the storms surrounding the Anari cities. They’re magical storms, and no one who goes in ever makes it out again. I’ve been studyin’ all kinds of shield spells, as well as what little the Anari left behind. I’ve got some theories on how it might be possible… but I have to wait.

“For one thing, I don’t want to put my crew in that kind of danger. So that’s something I’d have to do on my own. While my ship would answer to my commands no problem, I don’t want to take my people’s home from them, you know?

“For another thing, we also have a mission. Gotta stop Kai’os from ending the world. That’d put a real damper on any expedition, lemme tell you. So I have to do that first.

“Especially since if I fail, it’s likely I’ll die. And I won’t be around to do anything else. Gotta tie up my loose ends first.”
