House MD Characters and Their Mentors
Oh look it's more of this very niche character analysis. This time I'm looking at which of @lorata's District Two Victors would be good mentors for House characters. House fans reading this: you would really like Lorata's writing. Only limited Hunger Games knowledge required (basically you need to know the premise); lots of messed up people making the best of things, found family shenanigans, emotional angst, and queerness.
Anyway, time for mentors!
James Wilson: Devon. The essence of a Devon tribute. Really wants to make the world better. Fairly messed up and depressed, but does genuinely care about the district, and even the kid he volunteers for. The one bit of really key information we are provided about Devon's tributes is that Devon's dreamers burn bright, but flame out as the reality of the Games shatters their world view. This reminds me a lot of how House says that "Wilson thinks that if he cares enough he'll never have to die" contrasted with Wilson's feelings of betrayal and devastation that he, a oncologist who gave his life to treating cancer, is dying of cancer. He served the Capitol, believed everything the Center told him, and the truth of the Games ---the pain and the guilt and the injustice of it all--- is a sudden betrayal that completely unbalances him. The only way he wins is through temporary Arena madness, the kind of desperation that caused him to double his dose of chemo in a last ditch effort to survive and make the world make sense again during canon. Devon's main challenge post-Arena is helping him rebuild his shattered sense of self: Wilson thought he was a good person, but you can only win the Hunger Games by being vicious. Devon, as someone who had a similar break, is the best choice to help him form a cohesive identity. Devon can see him for who he actually is, all of it, and still say he cares. Devon can cite his own struggles with accepting care without "enough work" in return to get Victor!Wilson to step back from compulsively ignoring his needs to "earn" affection. Devon can pull him out of spirals about how his mental state is worse than his brother's now and show him how there is a way forward. The Victory Tour almost kills him, all those people hate him even though he only ever did what was asked of him and what he thought was right. Along with Devon, there is probably only one other person who could help him embrace that he does not need to be perfect or liked by everyone, which brings us to...
Gregory House: Adessa. I went through multiple avenues with this one. First I thought Callista, because viciousness and unapologetic attitude. Then I thought Lyme, because abusive childhood, resentment of the rules, and attachment issues. So we had option A and option B...and we somehow landed around option L. I dismissed Callista because of the reasons I thought Lyme. I moved away from Lyme because she works best with tributes who want to open up but can't until after they win. Claudius wants a family, Misha wants affection, etc. House wouldn't want to open up--- he would want respect, validation, and someone to make everything make sense. The reasons Adessa wasn't a good fit for Nero would make her a great fit for Victor!House. Nero wanted to be told Adessa loves him, but House wouldn't trust any obvious display of affection---instead perceiving his mentor's care for him through nonverbal actions she takes: exactly what Adessa expected to be true of Nero. Adessa can make recovery and all the chaotic, swirling feelings fit within a reasonable framework. She can answer his questions and treat him like someone with a rational mind. She knows that if he opens up, he probably doesn't want to be touched. She understands why he doesn't want the cuddly relationship that Victor!Wilson would have with Devon. She wouldn't pressure him to talk about feelings before he was ready and would give him space when he was ready. She understands his intellectual curiosity. She's probably the only one who could get him to invest in therapy. He wouldn't go based on "I've been there" talks or "I care about you" talks, he would go because "after a significant trauma the logical course of action is to seek medical care, so that one can be assigned medications to regulate neurotransmitters, and to remove unwanted chaos so one can better focus on more important matters." Oh, and also if John House every showed up to take credit for shaping his son into a Victor, Adessa has a briefcase full of knives and decades of fantasizing about taking revenge on behalf of her Victors. They would find his body in pieces...probably. If Adessa was feeling nice and wanted Blythe to have closure.
Devon is terrified when Adessa requests a meeting with him. Misha asks him what he did like fifty times and he doesn't know. He almost calls his mentor, but doesn't because he's a mentor too now, dammit and Adessa totally shouldn't scare him anymore. When he shows up she opens with: "Our Victors appear to have significant romantic attraction to each other. Shall we hasten their union via jointly planned manipulation, culminating in an arranged one-on-one meal over candlelight, perhaps involving the exchange of flowers?"
Lisa Cuddy: Nero. This one is hard. Cuddy is a lot more difficult to analyze than House and Wilson even though I actually prefer her over House (Wilson is my favorite, he just has so many problems, weird habits, and hidden depression). She has a lot of contradictions. She's manipulative, but empathetic. She genuinely advocates for the rules, but allows for crazy ass things to take place. She seems to argue for the rules because she has to, but is inherently drawn to the more chaotic, vigilante tendencies of House. She puts on a show of obeying regulations set by those above her, but seeks power so that she can facilitate what she thinks is right (she repeatedly says she's the only one who would employ House). This is reflective of a Nero tribute. She doesn't know why she is drawn to violence and competition of the Centre, but she is. She completes her kill tests with the highest scores in her year, but she mainly only feels guilty for not feeling guilty. She doesn't have a rationalization for why she is like this the way someone with House's history has. She should want to join the Peacekeepers or be a medic. But the more time passes in the Centre, the more she wants to win the Hunger Games. She goes into the Games a year early, the youngest District Two volunteer in history, and even though she knows the killing is wrong she still wants to win because why shouldn't it be her? She's better at this than the others. However, the inner conflict causes problems post-Games, as the criticisms from other districts actually hurt her, because she agrees. She knows there's something wrong, she fears she might secretly be evil. Nero, with a lifetime of dealing with conflicted, crazy tributes, knows how to reassure her that even if that something is actually wrong, she still has people who love her.
Bonus! Ducklings:
Foreman: Brutus. He's just here to do his job. He knows he's better than his Centre rivals, so his job is the Games. Trying to make it right or wrong will only drive you crazy.
Chase: Lyme. Daddy issues, alcoholism in the family history, wants the authority to like him. Lots of weird hidden triggers.
Cameron: Emory. Wants to be a decent person, just kept going in the Centre because she figured no one would pick her and she owed it to her district to keep trying. She had a baby Victor crush on House and Adessa had to take Emory aside and be like "the baby is making my Victor uncomfortable, tell her to calm down."
Thirteen: Misha. Rules are for suckers, enjoy your life while you have it, desperately try to find meaning in the world while pretending you don't give a shit.
Kutner: Lyme. Wants to find a place to belong, shoves his emotional issues down because he thinks nobody cares. Thinks outside the box, but still responds well around authority he respects.
Taub: I have no fucking idea. Seriously, the more I try to think about this the more I have no thoughts, head empty. Maybe Odin? Odin has a "do what you're supposed to do no matter what, no matter the cost" ideology that would cause a mentor mismatch like Adessa and Nero but at least that mismatch is something.
Anyway if one (1) person requests a Victors!House/Wilson I will write scenes so you have been warned.

Just kinda curious but like, how did Michele react to Vergil (if they even met)? I mean it's not all day you find out your boyfriend's dad is the same dude that took out his arm, especially with how threatening Vergil can seem sometimes.
Michele is surprisingly understanding.
He doesn't get to meet him until the twins come back from Hell (post-DMC5), but he asks around about him. He knew V, they weren't the closest, but if V was good then Vergil had to have a little of that inside him. Most of his answers came from Lady and Trish.
When they finally met face to face they turned out to be pretty compatible. This person was someone Dante cared about, he deserved a chance. And guess what? He likes Vergil. They're respectful to eachother, they do parallel play, and it might seem like a boring-ass relationship from the outside, but it's a comfortable silence.
Vergil doesn't have reasons to hate him either. He's polite, he treats his brother well and he has never been hostile towards him. It's not like he saw him and thought "YOU. YOURE COOL", because that'd be unlike him, but he does earn an approving hum or two.
Eventually, Vergil asked Michele for advice. About Nero, to be specific. It's not that Dante doesn't know Nero enough, but who has spent the last 5 years w/ him? And Michele helps, of course. He can't force them to get along, but he understands the both of them enough to help them develop empathy for eachother.
Also haha no childhood and a certain period of their life during which they were essentially tortured and mindbroken they match.
They also spar sometimes. Michele admires Vergil as a fighter, among other things.

for the ask game! 😈, 🎢 and 🧠 with silver :)
Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask
😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?
not consciously, i don't think! but considering a lot of the content i write, i tend to think to myself "i can't wait to kill everyone with this" which is more straight up maiming with a weapon than being "playfully mean" but \o/
maybe the fact that i ended "two for nero" where it was? haha, idk, i think i cut it off at a point that left people screaming "THAT'S IT? WHAT'S NEXT??" if the 15 subscriptions left on it is any indication ;v;
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
"hollow moon." this isn't even a competition, that fic blasts the others out of the water and obliterates them in a single hit. then again, hollow moon is a wild ride in the "everything is going to SHIT and all you can do is watch!" way
if i were to think about an actual wild ride... hrm. maybe "we've got history"? it's a fucking rollercoaster of back and forth. i had a lot of fun with that.
🧠 Pick a character, and I’ll tell you my favorite headcanon for them. [Silver]
i am VERY "fuck it! we ball" when it comes to characters, so i tend to not have many headcanons, if any at all... so man, i am racking my brain really hard here for a favourite :')
very very simple, but pretty much any art or writing that features silver having a bat plush always gets my heart. something about that childhood softness and his connection to lilia always gets me. is this enough of a headcanon? fuck it. childhood plush toy was a bat. i can't do this hc business. next

We are back with character dynamics my beloved. Last time I asked about dynamics that are going to form but haven't been yet, this time it's character dynamics that have already existed.
(Keep in mind that if you don't want to or don't think you can you do not need to cover all of these dynamics)
(Also, I do not mean any of these dynamics as a group just for clarification)
What sort of dynamic do you interpret Dante to have with Lady, Trish, Patty and Morrison?
How do you interpret Lady's dynamic with Trish, Patty, Nico, and Morrison?
How do you interpret Trish's dynamic with Patty and Morrison?
How do you interpret Patty and Morrison's dynamic?
How do you interpret Nero's dynamic with Kyrie and Nico?
How do you interpret Kyrie and Nico's dynamic with each other?
What of these dynamics is your favorite?
Hi, dear DMC Questions Anon!)))) Thanks for another fun ask, here goes!
Dante - Lady
I have been vocal about my distaste for Lady's character not evolving past her first appearance as a fetishized schoolgirl with a rocket launcher. This is purely Capcom's fault, and I am upset about it. For me, it is hard to go off Too Wildly away from canon, and in canon there is very little for Lady, and practically nothing for me to grab onto or like about her. Mostly I feel sorry she's been dealt such a hand.
I can't imagine her and Dante having relationship closer than 'colleagues forced to work together in a very small field'. Canonically Lady only appears to harass Dante about money, and I wish I could say more about her, but sadly I can't. At best they are colleagues or Maybe drinking buddies.
Dante - Trish
Her situation is similar to Lady's, at least Trish is not forced into the 'teen angst' In Her Forties. Trish rarely hangs around Dante, but when she does, her presense isn't overwhelmingly negative as Lady's. It seems like Trish tries, in her own way, to check up on Dante, and that's very good, he could certainly use more of that (even if he would disagree). The times she tags along she is helpful and provides any demonic background she can, which is very useful. Trish is just as fetishized, and it's twice as horrible considering that she was made to look like Eva. Also I really need canon to give her ANY Valid Reason for why she didn't change her appearence, when she clearly had the ability to do so in dmc4. Literally Any Valid Reason. Like, if I had been artificially made so my look would specifically traumatise a selected person I would want to change it immedeately both to stop hurting a friend and to establish my own newfound identity better, please give her any actually canonic reason why Trish hadn't
Dante - Patty
I think this one wouldn't be a surprise to anyone) Patty is the best DMC girl, because her presense has been nothing but positive for Dante. He was at his lowest at the moment of their meeting, and while Patty can be annoying, she was always thankful to Dante for protecting her the way he did. How couldn't he, their childhood backgrounds are way too similar, I believe protecting her was, in a way, healing for him. She also did her best to get him to go out, continuously tried to improve his living conditions with her cleaning, and just tried to spend time with him. Because he was at his lowest, Dante did snap at her a couple of times and was annoyed by her antics, still he end of the anime he hugs her back. That's literally the only hug for Dante in DMC I know of he needs so much more of them as well as more positive touch. At the very least, they are people who have been brought together by not the best consequences, but whose presense in each other`s company was positive, and seeing as this is the foundation of their relationship, I think it continued to be good for them off-screen too. It's unknown how common were their meetings, but I can easily imagine Patty trying to visit Dante on occasion, or to sneak in to clean the office if Dante went out on a job. I believe Dante some years after, recognised how much Patty helped him to get through those times and appreciates that in her.
Also @whitebeakedraven has helpfully pointed out that DMC2 canonically happens after the anime so... after Patty left, however brief her comfort was, Dante's state deteriorated vastly after her leave. So much so he willingly threw himself into Hell... so their connection was built on a Very rocky start, but that's also what made it special I think.
My Fanon and very self-indulging opinion of them can be summarised as forcefully-adopted-father-figure. The way Dante kept Patty's eyes closed when fighting demons was extremely adorable and very sweet of him, and reassuring her about lack of parents was... uncharacteristically honest for him. Another headcanon of mine is that both of them recognise this bond they share, but actively avoid of naming, Dante especially. I believe he would be afraid of the family curse/hunt going after her as well, and afraid of willingly taking on such responsibility more like he wouldn't recognise his self-worth as enough to willingly become a father figure for anyone, and his mental health struggles do not help the situation), so everything unsaid would be aggravating and damaging for both of them in the years between the anime and post-Hell return. In my opinion, this could end with Vergil's help, after he patches up his relationship with Nero, and would notice his brothers' struggle, as he can read Dante like no one else.
Aside from the Sparda Family Drama, Dante and Patty is my fav relationship in this fandom)
Also any Older!Patty x Dante shipper can kindly get Real Impacted)
Dante - Morrison
Very good working relationship. Morrison strikes me as a human that is very much aware of the dangers this line of field hold for regular humans, so he himself stays the hell away from it, and mostly workes in connections or helps with logistics (...like the helicopter from the beginning of the dmc5). Morrison does quite the number of times his goodwill towards Dante, also I am fairly certain he sent Patty Dante's way For A Reason. Morrison is smart, but I don't think even he realised exactly how close this call was to Dante's own past.
Dante very much recognises that Morrison does these things for him and I am sure he is very grateful for them, but it probably comes off only in cash numbers. Can't imagine Dante acknowledging his gratitude out loud.
Also Morrison probably won't start poking into Dante's issues even with a 20 meter long pole (however I do believe Patty was thrust under Dante's wing for a reason). Morrison is Very Much aware he is working close with an actual Hazard that is Dante, in all the possible terms of the word. Yes Morrison is friendly towards him and does favors for Dante, but he is also aware that if this man finally looses it shit will go down and fast. The closest comparrison I can think of is work in an experimental lab with dangerous chemichals all around - Morrison knows that safety comes first and foremost, doubly so for normal humans. So yeah, part of his interest in Dante is keeping lose tabs on him.
Lady - Trish
uhhh it's hard for me to write about any of them individually, even more so about them together.... I say colleagues. They might bond, maybe even work together a couple of times but can't say anything else. These two are very 'lone wolf' kind of women, at least from what I've seen.
Lady - Patty
Wine aunt. That's it that's their relationship. I think Lady adores Patty and is one of the victims wrapped around her little finger. Lady would love taking Patty on motorcycle rides, or teaching her shooting for self-defense. I can easily imagine them just chilling on a weekend together.
Lady - Nico
I can easily see Lady and Nico getting along, especially with Nico's mad scientist experiments and Lady's love for weapons of mass destruction. They will probably strike some sort of arm deals with each other, as Lady has to have collected some gun contacts over the years and Nico could get her hands on some new material for inspiration. Very good colleagues.
Lady - Morrison
I'd imagine Lady is not as dependent or morrison as Dante is, and she would like to act like broker too, but she and Morrison work together fine. I think he is one of the only people who doesn't let her shark off the money that easily. Good colleagues.
Trish - Patty
Vine Aunt #2. Trish and Patty could hang out for shopping together, as I think they both like their fashion.
Trish - Morrison
Good colleagues. I think Trish is the least Morrison-dependant of them all. She will take contracts from him, but she can also work for Lady or even on her own a lot of the time, as she can find the demons more easily. I believe she likes her investigation work more than the extermination, so she actually does more preventative measures then crisis management like the others (or crisis multiplier like Dante).
Patty - Morrison
An adopted distant relative. I can see Patty keeping in contact with Morrison over they years, but he mostly does it for his own sake (also probably because he took notice that she is important to Dante but not as capable as others close to him, so he keeps tabs on her for Dante's sake). I don't think they meet outside random encounters in the agency, or Patty getting a ride from him. He is genuinly fond of her though.
Nero - Kyrie
The Ship is here!!!! They are adorable) This entire series has one (two if we count Sprda&Eva) healthy relationships and this is only good on-screen example.
Partially this is hard to write about because Kyrie is a woman, and DMC is not very kind to ladies! Not at all! I'd like to say it here and now - 'Saint' vision of Kyrie is just Nero's head-over-heels POV in 4. My read on Kyrie is shaped by This Emptiness Is So Real fic by Night_Companion. She grew up in a religious-military organisation with a high-ranking brother, to be raised in such a household requires iron will, and I believe Kyrie uses it to make life easier for veterans of any conflict (Nero included). Violence stains a person, and Kyrie has the empathy and knowledge required to try to help them (this is why the twins are actually scared of her). Kyrie makes everything in her power to improve the lives of her close ones, so it's easy to see why she might come off as a saint for them.
I think she might have fallen for Nero for his bravery and willingness to help others, those are both traits they certainly share. They are The soft and sweet couple, but how about we make Kyrie a little weird. What if she actually likes metal just as much as Nero and they go to concerts together. I haven't known any metal enjoyers irl myself, but I have heard lots of stories that metalists are actually really chill and nice people to be around. Plus any rock/metal song can only be improved with the addition of choir or female lead.
I don't think they are engaged yet, but it is the matter of documentation really, I think in every way that matters these two are married, and everyone around them knows that.
For the children they foster, I see them only as 'summer camp counselors'. They take care of the kids, they like it, however everyone knows this is a temporary arrangement, and they just appreciate the company of each other in the moment. Sorry, but I can't imagine 20-somethings living a stable enough life and willingly choosing to adopt children at this age (which are like only ten years younger at best). I can imagine Nero&Kyrie adopting children in the future, but not as of current events.
Nero - Nico
Siblings. Nico is the perfect addition to DMC cast really, she is just all around great, and her bickering with Nero is hilarious. Nero intricately knows about valuing the found family he has, so I think Nico will pretty much move in with him and Kyrie. These two are actual siblings, and maybe progressing this relationship will help Nero better understand the twins.
Kyrie - Nico
Nico is a little hard for me, as I can only imagine her on the hunt with Nero, or working on her passion projects. They have a great relationship for sure, but I can't exactly pin anything concrete down about them, sorry.
BONUS LUCIA
Dante clearly means a lot to her. I believe their adventure together affected her greatly and inspired her to be better. Also I am very certain she still harbors a crush on him (to be perfectly honest she is the only person I can ship Dante with, however the man is Troubled and has Issues he needs to work on first, so even if this ship is possible, it will be so far down the DMC timeline I can't even say anything about them, OR it's an AU situation going on. I think they could be good for each other, but can't really imagine it happening in canon). Her visiting the agency was a very sweet moment and I'm glad the canon featured her like that, though I would love for her to appear more.
Lucia - Lady and Morrison - good colleagues. Lucia seems to be located a bit further away from the other Hunters, so she probably haven't met Lady or Morrison on jobs, but I am sure they know of her and might even work together on expanding their connections.
Lucia - Trish - NOW THIS. This could be HUGE. Both of these badass ladies share the artificial demon background and have clearly went through their own struggles with trying to define their own person. I WISH we had at least some evidence as to how their meeting would go, but at the same time I can imagine these similarities making them want to be as far apart as possible. Since we have nothing in canon on them, I guess they fall under the second option, the potential here is big tho.
Lucia - Patty - Distant Vine Aunt #3. She would truly adore Patty, and the same works in reverse. Can't imagine them interacting too often, but whey they do I think it would be very nice and good for both of them and they'll cherish it till the next meeting.
Can't imagine Lucia interacting with the Fortuna branch as they are too far apart. She might be interested in Nico's services though, probably through Lady's bragging.

This'll be a somewhat odd question to ask, but how did you.. I guess react on the story of how Nero back-handed your dad with his newfound devil trigger or giving his father (your uncle) a lesson in family beatdowns?
Oh boy, this is going to be long, so buckle up.
Tumblr media
Whatever my dad said about nearly being killed by Nero's bitch slap is false. He did say that his jaw was dislocated and broken in several places for approximately five seconds or so, but you know Dante, he's a literal pincushion. Sometimes, I think he is also a masochist because I've seen his girlfriend 'accidentaly' impale his hand with a butter knife when he pissed her off. He just smiled.
Nero having a DT kinda makes me jealous. Honestly. He and I actually got to know each other while Dad and Vergil were in Hell. He had asked me if I was able to trigger and if it made me feel uncomfortable as it made him feel. I couldn't answer that, but knowing he felt uncomfortable with what we essentially are was kinda eye opening. We both have somewhat similar pasts where we had no idea who or what we are. Now we do, and it's a lot to think about. Being something other than human is special, but also really scary. Triggering is terrifying. Nero told me its painful for a moment and that it's like going into a different state of mind. He's there and in control, but it's a lot to handle. That's about all I can say.
Do I want to trigger? Not really. I like being as close to normal as can be.
As for family beatdowns... it was a long time coming. Nero feels he has to prove himself to Vergil. He also feels that Vergil doesn't give a damn. That can't be further from the truth.
In my eyes, Vergil is distant. Not because he wants to be, but because he is afraid. And this is me psycoanalizing here. To hear Nero explain how things happened during the Qliphoth was a little disconcerting. The fact that our fathers had a very traumatic childhood (way worse than mine could ever be) puts a lot into perspective. Dante and Vergil are scared to death of attachments. They are also terrified of themselves to a point. The same can be said for myself. But we aren't talking about me. I don't fight, but they do because that is how they deal with their childhood. The same goes for Nero, too. I deal with my trauma by paying a therapist to hear me talk for an hour twice a week. (Like normal people do).
Hearing that Nero actually fought his own father was unsurprising. He said it was a little cathartic because it showed him something and eased some of his worries. I've never had to fight Dad, but I do remember how it felt to actually meet the one parent that was absent in your life. I can't imagine fighting Dad to try and prove myself. But that is what happened.
Based on how Vergil treats me, I don't think Nero has to prove anything. They still don't see eye to eye, but I suppose that's because they don't talk. If Nero and Vergil ever talked to each other, they would get past the brick wall they put up.
But no beatdowns have happened since the Qliphoth... thankfully. Just a lot of stares, grunts, and me trying to play mediator while Dad does what he does.
Anyway, I hope this answers everything.
In in-between classes right now, but definitely feel free to ask some more questions. I kinda find this really cathartic myself.

Fic Idea 9
Okay so I've been reading a lot of star trek fic lately and just rewatched aos so hear me out:
Half-Vulcan!Katsuki and human!Izuku
Katsuki's parents both died in some sort of really traumatic way when he was a very young child (less that 1-2yrs I'm thinking) and he somehow ends up in the foster system on earth.
I'm imagining that his parents weren't on Vulcan and that Nero didn't happen so the planet still exists and vulcans aren't an endangered species. If they were I think it would be really hard for Katsuki to get overlooked since his vulcan heritage would make him quite valuable and precious.
Anyway, his vulcan parent (probably Masaru) met his mother on some kind of diplomatic mission or science academy deployment or something while away from Vulcan and fell in love with her. Knowing that no one would approve but feeling very strongly about her (they're probably extremely compatible or maybe even soulmates), he runs away to be with her. They're together for several years before starting a family and they're either on a world or ship that gets raided/attacked when they die. Probably a ship that's near earth. Because then it would make sense for earth to pick up the survivors and provide support for them. That puts Katsuki in a brilliant position to be placed into earth's foster care system.
Which is a horrible place for a half-vulcan who's got really big feelings about everything (like vulcans do) and all of this sensory/mental input from the other kids and people that he encounters because humans are very tactile creatures who have no understanding of vulcan physiology since the race is so secretive which leaves Katsuki with no one to guide him through the process of learning to control all of it.
And thus: explosive Katsuki who's very angry about things and super aggressive to keep people the fuck away from him so he can have some peace in his own damn mind is born.
Cue him having a really rough life that is fraught with conflict since he's all at once leaps and bounds smarter than all the people around him but has a hairpin trigger on all of his emotions because there's no one around to teach him control and he's is constantly being mentally assaulted by people touching him and is generally "othered" by all of his peers.
Big points for an estranged vulcan Dadzawa here teaching him how to regulate his emotions and pushing him into starfleet where rank and professionalism will keep people from being overly friendly as well as a broader knowledge of alien species and their customs. Besides, Katsuki is bright as hell and doesn't back down from a fight. With a little bit of guidance and some structure he'd make a great officer.
Which is how he ends up in starfleet and meets Izuku. A bubbly, smart, compassionate, and determinedly fierce human who's pursuing a captaincy once he's completed command track.
A human who Katsuki eventually finds out is his t'hy'la. Which definitely happens during some disapproves disasterous ordeal where Katsuki has to mindmeld with Izuku to save his life and they form a weak bond right away that he can feel buzzing around in his head even after they've separated. He doesn't know that Izuku is his t'hy'la until they've been dancing around each other for a few months and he finally gets a chance to speak with dadzawa again and Katsuki brings it up because he just can't figure it out.
Obviously it ends with them getting together and formalizing their bond via a mix of the human traditions that they both grew up with and some vulcan ones that just feel right to Katsuki (after some research and discussion with dadzawa). Overall the ending would be the toothrotting fluff they deserve after a lot of struggle.
I think Izuku's childhood would be much the same as it is in canon. Pretty much single mom raising him who works a lot. Nerdy and scrawny as a kid. Super smart. Super hard worker. Super determined. Mocked for saying he was going to be a starfleet captain one day. Didn't have a lot of friends or good adult figures. It's probably inspired by All Might, an admiral in starfleet who captains a ship and he up in Izuku's town. He's done great things. They met once when Izuku was little and he was so inspired by his stories that it immediately captured all of Izuku's ample imagination.

My Art Summary for 2022!
(Under the cut I'll go into more details for each month, for memory's sake. Warning: It's LONG.)
Come one, come all for your opportunity to see all of the drawings I should have posted but never did! The ones that make me work harder every december to remember when tf i drew what! The ones that, in missing, make it seem like i only draw once a year--! (going through my twitter media tab is depressing LMAO)
JANUARY
[Pictured: Iola in Prenda clothing. There was a Twitter Post going around asking you to draw your WoL in your country's traditional clothes. Ofc I didn't skip the opportunity to do it! And drew my BF's WoL too for good measure. Still my fav drawing of the year!]
Also worked on a VTuber model for a friend (i drew it as a bust january last year; then this year was asked to expand it to full body). It was very challenging, but also fun!
For the rest, I designed some backstory NPCs for Asera (Daimyorus childhood friend, his goddess and a mage that helped us multiple times); and drew some twitch emotes for a client. Was a fresh, fun start. I remember having a lot of fun and finding that month quite relaxing.
Tumblr media
(Goddess Rondra, Mage Rupin & elf-friend Pedro (RIP))
FEBRUARY
[Pictured: My friend's bunny boi~]
Further work was done on the VTuber model, a lot of parts that weren't quite working before were redrawn. He was taking form!! Now that most of the work was done, also did a ref sheet to go with it. I couldn't wait to see him moving!
That's when I started preparing to open commissions for realz, trying to think of prices and set up examples. I drew some BGs and the Complexity Guide, and set most of the boring things up. I plan to open comms either Jan 2023 or February 2023, so let's hope all the work paid off~
MARCH
[Pictured: 'Smile at the Blue Skies', or "Fuq i need a bust sketch ref for my commission examples page". Sounds a bit less dreamy now, huh? LMAO]
But yeah, most of the month was dedicated to the VTuber model, working to fix it as the rigger found issues. Ref Sheet was finished this month. I'll stop mentioning the model, but the back and forth lasted till june or so?? Had to fix all of his toggles; and redraw his entire hair to allow for a better 3D effect when moving (it went from 3~6 layers to over 20). This was my first time working on vtuber models, so there was A LOT to learn. It surprising how many pitfalls there is in vtuber making. I'm very proud of how it turned out, and eternally grateful to the rigger (and to my friend) for being so patient with me. I was sent a small demo of what he looks like, and seeing your drawing move so beautifully like that feels magical!! There's still much to design and draw before he can debut, but hope you can support him then!
Oh yeah, there was this attempt too:
Tumblr media
APRIL
[Pictured: 'With Friends' the commission I worked on through March and April. Extra special because that's my friend & his pets there!]
Also sketched some ideas for illustrations of our RP characters (hi Irene), but never really completed them:
Tumblr media
It feels so long since I made these... Double checked like 3 times to make sure it wasn't April 2021 LMAO
I REALLY want to revisit some of these now.
MAY
[Pictured: #XIVARTBASH drawing, featuring Nero.]
Also drew the catgirl from Love2DrawManga. Didn't do much this month (...or did but forgot). I believe I worked on some BGs I can't show, but these are still very much stuck at WIP :(
JUNE
[Pictured: Nia's WoL, Mat. Just a smol gift for someone that brings a lot of joy to FFXIV Twitter.]
So... I completelly forgot I was drawing my OCs outfits [facepalm]:
Tumblr media
(Don't mind the two in the corner, I don't want my essay to get hit with Tumblr hammer LMAO They're nowhere near done). But yeah, these are my OCs from 'Elder''. I've had them since childhood, and still love them, even if I gave up on the book idea. Will make an actual post once all is done and I can go back to their character illusts uwu
JULY
[Pictured: Cade from 'Still Shining'. Working on this was an amazing experience~ Won't go on detail bc I already did, but still glad for the experience!]
Instead I'll talk about... Art Fight month!!!
SO.MUCH.FUN
I'm 100% going back next year! This event just proved how much I love drawing people's OCs. I really want to be a commission artist so I can do that for a living. Sadly I didn't get to draw everyone I wanted, plus I wasted a lot of time trying to look through OCs while the website was dying LMAO Next year I'll come prepared!
Also I drew that Spring picture to use as a reference in her profile there. I missed drawing her!
AUGUST
[Pictured: Commission for 'Under Maintenance'.]
Mostly worked on commemorative stuff. Anniversary chibi for Brie; that Under Maintenance pic; Thank You for DL message for 'Loving You Fully' and 'Still Shining'. Also designed some outfits (and painted some sprites) for Mythic Meetup: Midnight Mystery (not released yet!).
Started a bday gift for my boyfriend, but something kept looking 'off' about it so I didn't finish in time. Turns out it was overblended... And will require a redraw. Sorry boyfriend TT But my wife (tm) needs to look perfect!!
Also made the design for our new RP characters:
Tumblr media
(mine is the not-cat girl, obviously)
...And I belive this is when I made that cursed Yshtola feeding Zero picture? Yeah.
SEPTEMBER
[Pictured: Witch Torunn]
Made the YCH bases, as well as 3 examples. I have no memories of this month, but Windows says this sketch is from september:
Tumblr media
OCTOBER
[Pictured: Old OC redraw, for my Commission Guide. Decided to do it after a client asked for clarification if an old drawing was halfbody or fullbody (august last year, Torunn sitting down).]
Tumblr media
They're really old OCs of mine. Ever RP-ed in Deviantart groups? I did!!
Cecilia (<-) is pretty much a Iola prototype: salve maker and potion seller who lives with her dad (who taught her the craft). One day he collapses during work, and Cecilia ends up overworking herself to afford his medicine and other living expenses. In desperation, she joins The Guild as a novice magician for money, and gets herself involved on a war she never intended to join.
Celticca (->) is a archer and aspiring musician who wants to make the most beautiful song (tm) for her family. She's very sweet, but naïve and scatterbrained. I didn't have much planned for her, but had a lot of fun seeing her constantly get involved with Evil/Neutral alligned characters w/o noticing LOL
....Now that I think about it, she's literally a FFXIV bard, before I knew anything about XIV.
The rest of October was focused on Magni's Birthday Project and my YCH Halloween Commissions.
...And THIS:
Tumblr media
Halloween pictures of our current RP characters \O/ To go with our halloween session~ Also drew these two for our halloween one-shot:
Tumblr media
Ellie (<-) and Hadrianus (->). Ellie is a yandere witch I made as a joke and fell in love with. Hadrianus is my BF's wizard. Yes, he looks like Dr. Strange. Yes, that's the joke. The 3rd character was Rosemary, but I didn't ask to draw her so she's missing :( I do want to draw all of them at some point. We accidentally made "Spy x Family, but it's horror and Loid wants to run away" LOOOL I love this trio!!
Made 2 adoptables, but since they went unsold I decided to remove them and redraw for next year:
Tumblr media
(The neutral pose doesn't help them stand out ^^;; Sorry bbys)
Also sketched Julio from Atelier Sophie~
Tumblr media
(Hoping to finish it early next year. He's not the only idea I had while playing, but other stuff took priority"")
October was so much fun!! Sadly it let me completely drained by the end of it. I got hit with such a HUGE art block it was like my hands just... Forgot how to draw. Everything came out weird. Sadly, that resulted on me having to drop a drawing I was making for Brie :/ Hoping I can pick it back up soon... (better late than never right?)
It's around that time I decided to work on an AI redraw. Used Crayon (old Dall-e Mini) to create some monstrosity for me and tried to turn it into an actual drawing.
The monstrosity:
Tumblr media
The Work In Porgress:
Tumblr media
This drawing is a bit painful to look at, because of all the self doubt and bad feelings attached to it. But I want to finish it someday. My prompt was something stupid like 'cute anime girl having fun'. I want to remain true to the prompt and make her meeting with lil ladybug feel warm and fun!
...Like of the feelings I was missing back then, and am just now starting to get back.
TL;DR: Take breaks or you'll break.
NOVEMBER
[Pictured: Chibi Adra for Kyou.]
Managing burnout through most of it. Eventually just decided to stop fighting and played games instead. Even with the frame drops, Atelier Ryza is pretty fun~ Hoping to go bk to it soon.
At some point my boyfriend said I should just draw things to have fun for a bit. I followed his advice...
DECEMBER
[Pictured: Art Party (DracoLunari's WoL)]
...By drawing Iola as a sheep herder. It was much more fun than it sounds. I didn't care for polish at all, just seeing Iola in a cute outfit LMAO It's... A mess of a drawing. But it's MY mess of a drawing. I feel this thought calmed my mind a lot.
Also went for my first ever Art Party. It was fun, tho brain did get in the way after a bit, as expected ^^;;; Still want to go to these more often!! It's fun to draw & chat with others.
For random drawings, all I have is a(n embarrassing) fanart of Elf from Isekai Ojisan. I'll post eventually..... (that anime is hilarious)
For now I have a commission and a collab to take care of, and a certain Moon Goddess to draw as soon as possible~ Will be doing my best these next few days, and hope Iola can be my sheperd and guide me to the path of 'having lots of fun drawing again'.
ONWARDS TO 2023...
May my year be filled with bad drawings that I love;
And good drawings I'm proud of.
May your year give you the same
And everything else you wish for!
Thanks @/Taxkha on twitter for the Template!

To my dearest porn bot askee,
Tumblr media
Pure bone.
Flat pointy surface.
There isn't a god damn bit of meat there.
Hank hill having ass.
Does it really hurt to have to sit?
All of these could be phrases and stringed together words to describe the phenomenon that is 3Vergil's ass - no - lack thereof. There is many reasons exactly why Vergil for the majority of his life search out power. What it to so he would never feel the crippling feeling of helplessness again? To protect the ones left he cared about? Was it to conquer the feeling so he could stop feeling inferior to Dante because mommy issues that made him think Eva chose his brother over him?
No. While these might be the reason you might suspect but I'm here to share the truth to you all gathered today...
No, the true reason Vergil seeked power was to obtain the potential and responsibility to let his paper sheet ass grow into badonka donk ass cake.
Don't believe me? Let's go over the facts:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In both of these images, you see, V - the V part of Ergil, is also very very flat. That is important. Meaning, this flatness undoubtedly is a part of Vergil's core character right to the flat hank hill-esk bone.
You see, V's main goal through the game is simple bring the V back to Ergil. Making; Vergil. Simple science really. But you see, throughout the game, V makes a very important discovery: everything in his (V+Ergil's) quest for a big honker dumpy made everything go to shit. Because of his search for gaining cake; his brother's depressed, he has a son with big mega daddy AND insecurity issues that he knew nothing about who also thank goodness didn't inherit the paper napkin genes, oh right and now Ergil has destroyed an entire city and possibly more with his deep childhood passion for gardening. Oops. Time to fix that and hell maybe start a flat ass committee along that way... but demons don't tend to be the most civil beings in the world... hell, furies can't bring in the group donuts even though you tell them at least fifty times that you have to feed your staff! That's how lawsuits happen!
Where was I? OH RIGHT.
So V along with cat, bird, and goo go and fight their way (getting a tiny bit chapped but that's okay that's what lotion is for... V what do you mean you forgot to put in on?) So he along with nero and Dante to get to Ergil, only then with the power of melodrama and possible devil arm cane can bring them back together... as V+Ergil once more.
And you see, with V and Ergil back together as Vergil, an important lesson was learned: the big badonka cake ass was in you all along....
As long as you has sin devil trigger.
Tumblr media
The end.

Can I get soft 3ams with a reader who can't sleep, with Risotto, Prosciutto, and Ghiacco?🥺🥺🥺 Any crumb of fluff is fine
You absolutely can, Ronnie!! ❤️ (this is a treat for both of us tbh!)
Tumblr media
Ghiaccio
I feel like he’s a light sleeper and so the second you move around, he’s immediately awake and squinting at you mad hard, lmao
He’ll fumble for his glasses at the bedside and once he can actually see you clear enough, he’ll ask, “Why the hell are you awake?” in a very gruff, sleep filled voice.
When you explain why, he’ll grumble a bit, but will also try to think of the quickest way to get you back to sleep.
If counting sheep and breathing exercises don’t work, he’ll try for something else.
Ghiaccio will drag you closer to his side of the bed, until you both are facing each other.
For some reason, I see him being more comfortable and affectionate at night. Maybe because it's just the two of you and there aren't any prying eyes.
He’ll put a hand on your hip and rub your side a little under your shirt. Or he’ll touch your cheek and his hands are a bit cold.
Will most likely lean in and just kiss you, because what’s the point of beating around the bush?
After, I can see him placing his head on your chest and just talking to you about anything until you finally tire from hearing his voice. But the next morning, he will complain a little so just be prepared lol
Prosciutto
Prosci believes in getting your full eight hours, so you being up at three may worry him.
Maybe he’s just got back from a mission and caught you still up and doing stuff. He just pins you with this look and a raised brow.
He’ll definitely stay up and talk with you, try to help you clear out whatever fog is in your mind that’s keeping you up.
Will find a way to make you spill your guts about whatever you’re thinking about, he’s really good at getting people to talk about themselves.
“There’s no use keeping it bottled up. Just tell me what’s on your mind.”
I can see Prosciutto either running you a warm bath or getting you a little snack depending on what the situation calls for. As his s/o, he won’t mind taking care of you in this way
Afterwards, Prosciutto will curl up with you in bed, and be the big spoon with his arms looped around your waist, sort of caging you in.
You will definitely feel protected with him holding you this way.
Expect a few light kisses pressed to your shoulder and little to your neck until you fall asleep in his warm embrace.
Early riser that he is, I imagine, he’d wake up way before you, even though you kept him up later than normal.
Will probably have coffee and breakfast already made for you and just watch you over the rim of his mug.
Risotto Nero
Mr. Nero seems like the night owl type to me, being the leader of La Squadra and all, so he was probably just getting to bed when you woke up.
He’ll apologize for waking you, but when you admit that you weren’t really sleeping, Risotto will be a bit concerned and wonder why.
I can see him climbing into bed next to you and pulling you real close to him so you can lay your head on his broad chest.
Willing to let you use him as a human body pillow, stroking your back while pressing soft kisses to your hair and forehead.
He’s just a big bear of a man honestly, so be prepared to be engulfed by his body heat.
Risotto may even hum an old italian classic from his childhood to kind of lull you to sleep, but it’s really the rumble of his voice that gets your eyes drooping.
“Sleep well, cara, I’ll see you in the morning.”
Just knowing he’s there will be enough to put you at ease.
Risotto probably won’t fall asleep until you finally do.
And in the morning, he’ll give the tiniest smile when he asks you how you slept (especially considering how entangled you were in his arms when he woke up)

Whatever It Takes
While Soap, France and the two hostages try to recover, Gary stands by for action. It's a waiting game before they make their next move. Can Gary's lungs handle the training?
Previous Chapter : Reunited
Chapter 6 to another story made by Ray (echo-three-one) Comments and Reviews appreciated! I hope you enjoy! Love you all ❤️
Tumblr media
A Walk to Remember
Gary "Roach" Sanderson
Task Force 141
Task Force 141 - Briefing Room
Gary was able to share his raccoon story, but he wasn't contented. He actually wanted a certain someone to listen to it. He wanted to see her smile. He knew their time together was short but he grew curious about the blonde girl. He felt concern, almost guilty that he triggered her massive headache. He wanted to apologize, but since then she's still unconscious. Guess he'll have to wait.
"The concern is that Augustus' squad had been forcibly and convincingly recruiting troops from a local border militia and informants reported that they have siezed their small village camp." The caterpillar-moustached general briefed, gaining murmurs from the rest of the squad.
"We'll be sending Alex tomorrow to negotiate with the squad and if he's successful. We could formally assist them and take back their base, crippling Augustus forces. Gathering intel on the village is a bonus." he added, making everyone else nod. Gary looked determined to help out, and for now all he could to is to train more and have faith in Alex's skills.
"That's odd." Ghost nudged from beside him.
"Yeah?" he replied quickly.
"I know that face… Something's bothering the bug. Come on. Spill." he whispered. Ghost may look cold and distant at one glance but he tries hard to show concern, especially for Roach, who has been there to absorb his problems ever since they met.
"It's the mission." Gary lied and he was not convincing at that.
"Sod off mate. I can tell you're lying. Is it the girl? It's always about the girl." he teased. Gary found himself speechless as he puffed his cheeks.
"Yeah. We'll you're bothered about France too. And threatened about how close they are with Soap." he whispered, Ghost fell silent and stopped bugging him. Gary wanted to quickly apologize for hitting a nerve, but he turned his focus to Shepherd.
"That's about all of it for today. I want all available squad members at the training areas now. We're not going to let that same blunder happen again." he scolded as everyone silently left. Ghost walked behind Gary, his quiet demeanor was normal but somewhat odd.
"You think she's interested in him? They used to fight a lot." he muttered and Gary turned to him.
"Look mate, I have no idea what's going on around them. They just met, and I'm no love doctor but if you're really into her then take small steps. Get to know her, talk to her, those kind of things. Then you'll finally get the answer you're looking for." Roach advised and Ghost actually showed agreement by nodding as they continue to the training room.
Task Force 141 - Jogging Oval
THE NEXT DAY
It's the fourth time that Roach lost to Ghost on a one lap sprint. A sign that he still has a lot of lung endurance exercises to do and he's still a long way to go to master holding a sniper rifle. He looked down, hands on his knees and sweat dropped from his forehead as he panted heavily.
"Roach! You okay?" a familiar scottish voice called from nearby. He looked and saw Samantha, Maxine, France and Soap together early in the morning. Samantha was pushing Maxine's wheelchair while France pushed Soap's. It looked like he still can't get up properly yet and might not make it on the next mission. His eyes now turned to Maxine who was looking at Samantha, laughing at something. Her smile brought happiness to Roach's face and he felt like he could run another lap.
"I'm fine." Gary replied with a thumbs up, jogging toward them, taking France's spot.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Oh. Nowhere. The nurse said we could use a little sunshine." Soap replied and the rest of them nodded. Maxine turned to Gary and smiled.
"You. You helped me back there. Eased the pain from the sprain. What's your name?" she asked. Gary took the time to let her voice fill his mind.
"Gary." he replied.
"Thank you Gary." she smiled and turned back to Samantha, resuming their conversation. France quickly nudged him to which he winced in pain.
"Whatever you're thinking, it goes through me first. I'm her sister after all." she warned, Gary pretended to look confused but there was no use hiding to a woman. They could sense intentions a mile away. 
"Does she um… remember you?" Gary asked. France's face shifted from threatening to sad.
"Not really." She sighed. "But she will recover and recognize me someday." 
"What happened to his leg? Hey hey Is that Alex?! Samantha it's Alex! Heyyy Pretty boy! Over here!" Maxine excitedly called him. He was walking to the hangar with his backpack and gym bag, looking focused. Everyone else were confused as to how Maxine knew Alex and Gary started to feel odd about it.
"Hey… um… you." Alex greeted awkwardly, smiling at the group.
"Alex. This is Samantha over here. I remember you looking for him at the bar. You know, a childhood friend you want to reconnect with?" She excitedly winked as he looked at Samantha. Gary could sense a little something going on between the two.
"Max, I don't know no Alex from my childhood…" Samantha muttered and Maxine frowned. This wasn't the kind of reunion she expected. It was a shame that that was the last thing she could remember.
"Yeah. I think you may have mistaken me or something. But I did look for her, returned a pendant she dropped back then." Alex replied and ran back to the airstrip.
"I swear I remember him correctly. I know full well which memories hurt me." Maxine whispered to herself as Samantha rubbed her back.
"He does look familiar. But then again I saw him back then and mistook him as a stalker. I mean, look at those tattooes. Turns out he's just there to return my pendant. It's a huge coincidence he works here though. Like one in a million." she mused as they quietly watched him walk away.
Gary started pushing Soap and the rest followed. He was happy Maxine's all peppy and well, but he can't help but feel jealous about the way she reacted upon seeing Alex. He wished she'd do the same for him. But who was he for her? Nothing but a random stranger.
"Huh?" Maxine asked and Samantha just nodded, making her quiet and realize things. Soap looked at Roach and they just exchanged weird glances and shrugged. Mentally noting that they'll have to talk to Alex about this after the mission.
~
"So, any new news?" Ghost stood by Gary as he gulped down a bottle of water.
"Not really. Except from the fact that Maxine claims to know Alex and Samantha knows Alex. And also Maxine is Francine's sister?!" Gary exhaled leaving Ghost in a momentary confusion.
"Wai.wai wait.. For real?!" he asked. Gary downed another bottle and nodded.
"Yeah. When briefing told us Alex was somehow connected, he was actually all over the place. I want answers from him." 
"Yeah. So where is he?" 
"He's already on his way back to Germany. Let's hope he convinces a whole army to help us out." Gary wondered as Ghost nudged him back to the gym. 
"Let's train that lungs of yours again."
All Gary could do was groan in  frustration as he followed Ghost to the gym.
"Man, Nero's a mysterious guy huh. Did you know Alex helped catch the CIA Mole he's working with. The one that supplied him the serum that's behind all of this." Gary overheard two random soldiers at the gym discuss. He couldn't help but stop whatever he was doing and asked them for more details.
"They already publicized the report on the website. They're actually desperate for any Nero-like activity to report to them immediately." one of them informed, Gary turned to Ghost and they both nodded, quickly running to the Base's library.
"Here it is. Alex's report." Gary muttered as Ghost peeked beside him, they slowly scrolled across pages of information written by Alex himself. He didn't hide anything from them, except from thr fact that they're after her because she had memories of an IP Address. Then further through the report they concluded that they weren't successful in extracting it. Then at the end of the file was a footnote, regarding Samantha's state. It read:
Due to a special favor promised by Samantha's father, he has authorize to apply an MK Ultra procedure to her, whose main intention is to Alter her memories of the IP Address along with the events that happened prior to kidnapping.
"So that's why she didn't know Alex." Gary realized.
"Hence the responses earlier." Ghost added.
"Maxine wasn't mentioned in this footnote this means her memories weren't rewritten." Gary spleculated. Ghost scratched his head in confusion.
"This whole thing is nuts." Was all Ghost could say.
Task Force 141 - Quarters
2000H
"Same routine tommorow, okay?" Ghost grinned and it made Gary groan.
"Fine. My lungs are going to hate you for eternity, Simon." he complained and the trainer just chuckled.
"We didn't have the chance to talk to Soap today. He surely has a lot of new information about the two." 
"Nah. More like more information on France." Ghost retorted fake chuckling.
"If he's ever in the competition, I can judge that he's one step ahead." Gary remarked, attempting to tease Ghost who was already leaning away from him.
"Rest up, Bug. Another big day tomorrow." he muttered, almost angry.
"Yeah. Big day."

MY TOP 10 FAVORITES IN VENTRECANARD'S STORIES
Wattpad is a popular site/app that is visited mostly by filipinos to write, read and express. Me, myself, is also a reader and an aspiring writer, here to introduce one of my favorite writer who fights for woman rights through writing. Let me introduce VentreCanard, kapitana, and her works.
VentreCanard, is derived from French words with an English translation of 'belly duck'. She went for the word 'belly duck' because she wanted her pen name to signify her even if she wants to keep her real name private. That led her to use the duck-shaped birthmark that she on her belly as an inspiration for her username.
Tumblr media
She started writing when she was fourteen, and she finished four stories on her notebook with only three readers—her cousins. They tried to convince her to post it online, but it took years before she had the courage to share and post her stories online for an audience to read.
She’s trying to write stories with different genres such as romance, fantasy, action, historical fiction and science fiction. As she tries to write in other genres, she would never forget to write stories about family, brotherhood, woman empowerment, heroes and love.
Tumblr media
Hi! If you want to know more about her, sadly I can't give you more info about kapitana. But here's the list of her stories and the synopsis of each story. Hope you'll like it!
COMPLETED STORIES
1. CAUGHT IN HIS ARMS
VentreCanard gave readers not one, but five guys to love and admire. When she seeks refuge with Don Garpidio, Florence is introduced to his five rambunctious grandsons and the chaotic world of the Ferrells. Serving as their cook, the five guys pester and annoy her to no end, much to her dismay. But it is clear to see why the readers love the five Ferells. All have a distinct personality that endears them to Florence. Aldus, Owen, Tristan, Troy, and Nero's relationship as cousins sure are a hoot.
It’s not just about the game of love, but life itself. On the surface, the book seems to just explore the budding romance between Florence and Nero. But it goes way beyond that. As Florence becomes attached to the life she has with the Ferells, the consequences of her actions catch up to her, rendering readers speechless as they witness what follows after.
2. BACK IN HIS ARMS AGAIN
“I used to be the girl in his eyes. I used to be the girl who can make him laugh, I used to be the girl who can taste his lips. I used to be his everything. Now that I came back, I need to get used seeing another girl in his arms.”
Book 2 of caught in his arms.
3. EMBRACING ARMS
“Every Embraces has it’s own journey.” This is the book 3 of caught in his arms. The content of this book will show the readers the childhood journey of the 5 Ferells with their grand father, LG. This will be the part of the wedding ceremony of the two love birds too.
4. INFINITE EYES
“What was the happiest and saddest part of my life? Happiest was the moment he opened his beautiful eyes on me. His eyes that captured my heart, those pair of brown eyes that I won’t ever forget and the saddest? The moment he closed his eyes and can’t look at me anymore”

*smacks my head on the wall*
Be a good mindset if you can be... This might be a rollercoaster.
Mon Petit Chou,
I will say I am an idiot, but I'm sure there's much stronger words.. I've heard them most of my life... but I'm greatful I didn't have to hear them especially in your heavenly voice...
You see... I've started lowering my walls and about my truths...
This year has been quite... An interesting nightmare & daydream.
Only you and you make me feel like my life had purpose and meaning... This year i started getting out of my shell... Becoming Who I am, whatever I am as I've tried to learn my mask of acting Nero typical whitch is also very draining but, I had my depression it numbed my brain from all the bull shit of my life and things that little people do to me... Not knowing how hard it is to be me...
Now that I can afford to try see someone as our public system is terrible...i herd bad things but I couldn't walk into a private shrink without a referral and ultimately showing I tried to do right... From my doctor and ultimately good reason because our medical system is pretty bad right now and might be for awhile so I told him that I'd try hang on he told me that to get a referral we should try the public system first... And i guess that was my mistake unable to find anyone who could take a booking.
You always made it so easy to forget my issues and pain... You don't know how beautiful you are and if you don't i hope in all my words... if you didn't know it I'll tell you everyday how beautiful you are.
The first day back to you and i wasn't feeling right but I couldn't tell you... I was hoping until they can try help me through the truma and hopefully it would be July or soon and you might be unaware of it.
I've talked about it a few different times this year.. of my childhood and my teenage hood... i repressed and never had a money to address it and I was dealing with issues that got reawaken on a terrible night in a bar.
You don't know how much you are still in my pain but at least it's Your voice haunting me telling me everything will be okay and i can feel you holding my hand...
I still can't forget the significance of the moment and what it ment to me forever burned to my pain... it was always for you because you, and i admit i hoped you would of forgotten me in time but as time goes on i never could forgot about my love for you and everytime being shut out from your world.
But in my world the light of you burns it always has, it always had sung me home in my darkest hours...
You see i had to ask you to Ingore me for awhile as if you can notice the pain in my eyes after this many years that then I knew it was true i wasn't doing great and I couldn't hide this from you.
I wasn't feeling good and I couldn't tell you about it... So the nuclear option but i can't lie to you... so the nuclear option ontop of work being difficult i wasn't sleeping right... And as time got worse
I wasn't thinking right.. And I knew it was the only way I'd be able to keep my distance without hurting you...
as the issues got worse...hopefully never meeting the person i never wanted you to meet..
The worse part of being so alert and hyperaware to everything in the world around you is light simulation/popluiton and sound sentistibry living down town i couldn't sleep ontop of everything else.
It was quite hard to try rediscovering the world being depressed for the past 7 years not having you in my life and finally getting out of my pain of my past to be slammed back in pain... I'm so vulnerable when I'm carefree...as I felt it was getting worse by the day and I couldn't hide it from you within the few weeks of waiting it soon i had to ask you an awful thing. I would say i wish i could take back my words because i knew it was going to be bad but not go where it did. So I had no choice as i couldn't lie so i decided to tell you to Ingore me for awhile... I planned to uninstalling my social media but then i knew you would worry this was around the time my cynical psychologist said to write and it started that you knew I was okay but i admit i got worse but I didn't notice then it become a daily thing.
In the glimmer when you asked me yes I was fine because I had you back in my life even if you can't speak because i told you to Ingore me i was okay because no matter what happens to me I will always be fighting on and through hell and back i will always fight even if you might see me crumble I fight because I look at you and say if she can do this so can I.
Your photos keeping me company as my reailty warps both on the good days with nothing and the hard days and maybe soon this can blow over but July became august and i was fighting against it by then I didn't tell my work i needed time off as i didn't know how long it would be till my assessment.
I'm glad you remembered the special days we have but by then i was extremely loosing my head and was about to get worse but I didn't know how bad it would be.
Let's say I thought id have my assessment done but delays and ultimately a night in hospital soon to be in up to Auckland hoping for another diagosis from anyone and some medical leave and maybe an assessment from another medical board department but since my stay in hospital notes in Wellington there was some confusion and they were supposed to be seen by a psychologist in Auckland the notes and pointers would be sent to my cynical psychologist and doctor.
We decided to request the notes and to start looking for another psychologist in the private sector and try explain all the issues and we needed the notes to try explaining my issues they some how vanished and supposedly never existed according to a lady in records in Auckland.
So back to square one... Almost.
All we had was some medical notes from my small stint in hospital and my doctor who gave me a test for depression and anxiety.
Only able to give me anti psychotic to try help sleep because new Zealand is weird like that.
we started calling again to see who's available and one the best who might understand about my issues if anyone could understand the chaos of my mind and the receptionist said we could see said next April or May... Fucking great..
Your fighter never gives up... Times may because Friday (31st night) because shaving caused my mental health.. To ugh.. Spike up....
I can't focus to well at the moment and I'm hoping it's adhd and soon I'll be able to answer the questions easier... I'm doing better I'd say I'm stable but having issues... Like life is.
We found someone who can help via zoom and he was cheap and OK so we made a plan that we might try see him and it's a start then we to take the notes then go to the best in the country in March/April/may my.
Doctor made a referral for both.
And by this Friday passing I get a call that tommrow they want to see me. (the best psychologist money can buy thanks health insurance)
I can i will always fight against the waves.
I should of asked for medical leave earlier but I wasn't sure when I'd be able to see a professional or any time soon.
Once diagnosed by a psych if my symptoms return I can get access to medications, but being living undiagnosed i can't request them (duh lol) I don't think you remember but i thought there was a link with adhd and my Ritalin trial to my undiagnosed ptsd turns out with autism there's a few overlaps and Hopefully the psych agrees with me as there's current research to say I'm more susceptible to mental health issues in general... Fucking great.
I didn't ever want to hurt you ever, my mental health has been getting bad again and I never wanted you to be involved incase it woke up any of your problems... I'm sorry I asked you to Ingore me and ultimately putting pressure on you was never my intention...
It has always been about your happiness and protection and one thing I'll do to the day I die...you are my stars you are my moon you are so beautiful.
Because I still care about you, and love you more than i thought you might even know about still but i guess you found this out through out the years everytime trying to come out to talk to you just to be door slammed but that's how it's felt as i never wanted to cause you axeinty over me i wanted to talk to you about becoming freinds again...
When I told you your going to have to Ingore me for awhile...and that was probably the worst thing I think I've ever had to ask you.
I'm still not thinking straight I'm currently weaning off quetinapin but I'm feeling normal... If that's possible.
My fluctuations are still quite hard apparent but I'm able to fight better everyday and occasionally having setbacks and my mental health isn't good but when I talk to you my life seems better... Even if it's a letter one directional... And i guess it's time.
Where does one start...
Forgive me for I am never going to ask you to Ingore me that wasn't right for me to ask.
Tommrow afternoon 2:30-3:30pm Tuesday (nz) i will be going to meet my demons head on...
I'm not scared.
I'm brave.
A girl i loved once told people you have to be brave to get your diagnosis I'm not scared because she sings me to sleep that everything will be okay and i will be strong once again.
I fight the fight, even if you said it and i was unable to understand and vulnerable to the pain of raising my hands to protect myself as things were finally going my way just to get thrown backwards and i am back to me.. The one who loved you how you were because all my thoughts are of you everyday at least once in all my days since we met.
The good ones and the bad ones, you where in my memory helping me.
It's been quite the year...
You can ask me anything and if causes me pain I don't mind if you do...only you can cause me pain and I'll always forgive you because you are the light.
I'm sorry i had to ask you had to Ingore me...
But it was the only way I thought i could try to protect you...
Forgive me i won't ask you for much..
I do want my freind.
And i want to get better.
Your happiness is always been important to me As you fight your last battles i hope you know my journey started long ago and as my chapter began, i am okay one story of a another beginning has flowered There is alot to talk about but we have quite alot of time...
Ughhh if i said I'm asking to be your freind... Again and... at least i have my girl back in my life...So please forgive me that i had to ask you...
I can't ask you to talk to me again but i hear his voice saying the awful thing he said to me on the phone.. And those words still quite sensitive and it's a little triggering because i wasn't fully there but i do remember a bit of it.. i was doing things that i wasn't fully aware of and corernet of...
Yeah.. I'm not gonna to talk about this... so i can't ask that for you talk to me... But i can say...i have a video of one of the harder days because i was afraid I'd die without you knowing anything.
I thought it would protect you..and now at least your be back in my life kind of..And that's all i need... For the rest of my life and... I want to talk to you and hear you and start this... it might be slow but we can go as fast or as slo- oh well- that went-well we have a lot to discuss my freind, my partner... My beautiful wife to be.
It's all the words in my head...i keep thinking in circles and loops...
I ask instead, can I have my friend, my best friend...the one i know is beautiful because i love both of versions of her even if i saw her with black hair and now shes a beautiful blonde... She's one of a kind and she is my missing piece, to my life puzzle that was in front of me but i was blind by my depression and my love mixed within that she would be weighed down by me and ultimately seeing that it would be hard for both of us as i figured it wouldn't be for awhile till you finish school... and for her i was selfless anything for her, so i let go to set her free..
But you probably knew it...
Will you be available this weekend?
I am free sort of i assume we're shopping again Saturday so i hope soon and it might be chaos as new Zealand reopens for a second time.
I am, always your, on your left...
You have both my numbers i assume still.
I miss you.
I want you.
I love you.
XOXO
