(I don’t know if you are still doing the SAGAU letters- If you aren’t please ignore this!)

Dear Arataki ‘My One and Oni’ Itto,

You are a true blessing in my eyes. You know how much you make me smile? I’ll tell you, my cheeks hurt a lot! Thank you for being a beautiful soul. Keep being true to yourself and leading your gang with your good heart.

With love and hugs,

The Creator

P.S. May I please join the Arataki gang? I’ll bring snacks!

To the Creator,

I've gotta say, I didn't expect to receive a letter from 'ya today! It's not everyday that you get a message from the creator themselves. I hope your cheeks don't hurt too bad, but keep on smiling for me, alright?

There's no reason to thank me for something you yourself chose, m'kay? I'll be sticking to how you made me.

The others are here with me! They're all bugging me to add some stuff in for them. Kuki says hey, too.

Accepting those gratefully,

'The One and Oni'

Arataki Itto

P.S. Of course you can! I feel the others would have my head if I denied you, the snacks are just a bonus!

“No… no…”

Nathalie clawed through her wardrobe, shoving aside rejects and tossing even the slightest “maybe” across the end of her bed to try and cobble together some ensemble that might justify all the trouble she was going to.

So far, it was more rigorous work than even her field job, but if there was one compulsion she felt more strongly than any, it was not to be boring.

Almost as much as she liked going out on the town for a night, she liked to gussy up a little. Having features that were more or less all one shade of warm wood ash, color was imperative. Petal pinks, verdant greens, the occasional cherry red—nothing was totally out of her purview, and her carefully-curated collection boasted variety rather than sheer volume. She had everything from conservative-yet-fun outfits that protected her from the thick Shroud underbrush in style, to absolutely impractical pieces that were better suited for rowdy evenings in a crowded tavern where style was substance, and enough in between that she could suit herself for practically any occasion.

Tonight, there was a more difficult task than simply putting on the newest addition to her collection. After begging, pleading (and perhaps a little bit of unintended stalking), she’d finally convinced Rakaso to go somewhere fun with her. Nothing too out-of-pocket, but not so slow as to put Nathalie to sleep after two glasses of wine: a little musical variety show Rakaso mentioned having visited before. Rakaso herself would be familiar enough with the place to be comfortable, and Nathalie would have no trouble easing into a new experience. The difficulty was choosing an outfit for it.

During her day-to-day, Rakaso was hardly seen in anything besides her white robes. A marker to denote her status as a healer and her affiliation with the Stillglade Fane, no doubt, even though other conjurers tended towards colors that weren’t as easy to sully. Covered from neck to toe—not even a hand shown. Even in her off hours, she tended towards muted shades of darkest blue and lighter tints of ivory or cream. Comforting, easy, and practical to a fault. Nathalie couldn’t fault her for the choice.

In fact, she intended to suit it by choosing something that wasn’t too outlandish—this was the first time she’d been able to drag her out of the house after all, the “fun” outfits could wait—but still gave sense of adventure. At the end of a long, tiring session of throwing clothes on and off and on again, she decided she finally had something that would work. A sleek, asymmetrical longcoat in white and black over a skirt that revealed a cheeky bit of thigh above her favorite black boots. And just in time for her rendezvous with Rakaso. 

As she stepped hurriedly out from the lobby of her apartment, she jolted at an imposing figure just outside the door. A head of wintry white atop a woman shrouded in a black coat, black dress, black boots. The dress itself looked like it was constructed from reclaimed leather armor. A skirt of tassets against fraying cloth was topped by a bustier of straps, buckles, and black lace. A thick, silver chain hung from the collar and ended on the lapel of the coat, framing the woman who wore it with a threatening air. Boots like heeled sabatons revealed, much to Nathalie’s dismay, even more thigh than she showed herself, and her bare arms (!!) ended in sharp, gleaming silver claws.

Rakaso, in all the glory of her pseudo alter ego, stood with a brow aloft, her claws clicking an impatient rhythm, ready to go to battle against an entire night.

“I was early,” she explained, snapping Nathalie from her stunned state.

She couldn’t decide if the color was draining from her face or if she was turning a shade more pink as she caught herself and smiled brightly. That would certainly be the last time she’d underestimate her colleague’s ability to surprise her.

Family reunited

"What the [redacted]?" was the first thing to come out of her mouth upon landing...somewhere very colorful and confusing.

She couldn't remember how she got here. All she knew was that she was looking for someone. Someone close to her. Who that was, she couldn't tell.

She got up to get a better look at her surroundings. For the first time she realised that she wasn't alone. Staring at her were a one-eyed doll, purple rabbit, a chess piece dressed in royal robes, something that could only be described as amalgamation of shapes and colors, and some kind of masked ribbon creature.

Oh she needed to get the [redacted] out of here. Wait why couldn't she swear, what the [redacted]?!

As if this entire...situation couldn't get any more bizarre, suddenly floating dentures appeared.

"Well well well" oh, and it could talk too "a new face! Welcome, to our Amazing Digital Circus! Here is where you'll spend your next eternity. My name is Cain. I'll be your new circus master for all of time. Now let me show you around!"

"E-Eternity?" She didn't have time to process all that, as she was being dragged around by floating dentures, which went by the name Cain.

Meeting others was a mixed bag too. Ragatha seemed nice enough, but she wanted to strangle Jax with her gloved hands(since when did she wear gloves?).

It was here that she realised a horrible truth: she couldn't remember her own name. Or anything for that matter. Her new name was Marbles. It didn't feel right, but she had no other choice.

Caine also gave her "a special role" in the Circus: she was supposed to be the resident clown.

"Every circus needs a clown, and our last clown perished in tragic circumstances. But don't you worry your little clown head. I'm sure you'll fare much better!" Cain assured her. Marbles didn't know what "tragic circumstances" really meant, but she had a feeling she didn't want to find out.

"Oh, Pomni! Right on time. It's not nice hiding behind walls when new faces arrive. It's a bad etiquette you know?"

It was only then that Marbles noticed a jester, dressed in red, blue and yellow. Immediately she felt a connection.

"S-Sister?" She didn't know where that came from. Just that it felt right.

She could see the spark of recognition in Pomni's red and blue eyes too.

"Sister?"

"Sister!" Marbles knew then that Pomni was the one she was looking for. And she found her. She's here!

She ran to her and immediately tackled her into a hug.

"It's you! I thought I was never gonna see you again! So this is where you disappeared off to, huh?"

"Disappeared?"

"Yeah. You've been missing for...three months, I think." She wasn't really sure, but she had a strong feeling it was three months.

That was apparently a wrong thing to say, as Pomni started hyperventilating.

[redacted].

"No no no, it's okay, it's okay, I'm here now, im here." She reassured her while holding her tight.

Marbles didn't know where or who she was, but she knew one thing: that she had a sister. And she wasn't going to let her go a second time.

For this week's @schittscreekdrabbleblog prompt: Laser

Patrick startles awake, unsure where he is for a second. Then he remembers. He's at Stevie's. 

David...! He turns carefully so as not to wake him, his eyes laser focused on the curve of David's shoulder. He reaches out gingerly to brush his fingers through the soft dark hair at the nape of his neck. 

David stirs and turns to face Patrick. 

"Hi!" 

"Hey! Good morning" 

"What time is it?" 

"Really early. Go back to sleep!" 

Patrick lifts his arm so David can snuggle in. He feels so soft and warm. 

He wishes he could stay in this moment forever.

This one is impossible to choose!!! How am I supposed to choose between that gorgeous smile and that cute nose scrunch?! 😣 I'm really scared of the next poll... it seems like they are getting harder with each next one...

I know, right? It truly was the hardest one yet. I honestly only chose one so I could see the results 😂. But... As adorable as his smile is and it never fails to make me smile right back, I just had to go for the nose scrunch because it's just such a typical Jon thing to do.

I haven't decided on the next poll yet, so you might get a bit of a reprieve before I torture you again 🤣

hey!! i was wondering if u have any suffix suggestions for a cat w the prefix "flower"? ive been thinkin abt changing one of my oc's names for a while now (her name is flowerfur) but im kinda stumped atm. heres some info abt her if that helps:

- brown tabby w green eyes

- medic/healer from riverclan

- a bit eccentric, likes collecting things more than ur average riverclan warrior, including twoleg things (she wears a bandanna as an accessory for instance) (oh yeah she also likes to accessorize a lot and is always wearing flowers somewhere on her body)

- generally cheerful and upbeat even if some of her clanmates think shes a bit odd

any ideas? i love ur name suggestions they scratch my autism brain the right way

F-flowerpower. I'm genuinely stuck on this option because its so cute and silly - but! Other names could be Flowerpuff, Flowerpod and Flowerspin. - Cloudnettle

While we're doing painful questions, one of two options will occur:

- You go blind, unable to ever see Cody again (or at least not see in the literal sense)

- You or him becomes Rogue from X-Men, unable to make skin contact without harming the other person.

Which bad option do you take?

Holy hell 😆

I’ll have to take option 2. I don’t think I would be able to never see Cody smile again or see his beautiful eyes again.

Rogue couldn’t control her powers and that’s why she was harming people/making them unconscious right? This is another reason for number 2. I would work day and night to gain control so I could touch people again without hurting them, especially Cody. I’m assuming we would be in a relationship for both of these scenarios so I would be able to not have skin to skin as long as I could still see his beautiful face and touch him (with protective clothing).

Truce and Tali?

OH MAN I think truce and tali would go pretty badly, romantically. Truce is a geth apologist and thinks the quarians were in the wrong OOOOPPSSSSSS those two have incredibly involved conversations about it that usually ends with truce slipping away or tali rushing out, but in me3 w the quarian-geth truce (lol) i think they’d be able to move past just a working relationship to actual friendship

#this was a tough one #truce is still a little bit like unmolded clay on the wheel yanno? #and I wanted to switch things up and make things spicy #find a tense dynamic w someone on the Normandy and because of you i have found it #thank you for the ask!!!

On their final official stop of The Commonwealth Tour, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited York Senior Center in San Myshuno.

York Senior Center has become a popular retirement home for many elderly in the Commonwealth, with many amenities and local resources. YSC was opened in the 1980s at the urging of Queen Zarah who was then Patron of the Senior Success Trust of York. King George is the current Patron.

The Duke and Duchess met with the centers longest resident, Sophia Petrillo, who gave them a tour of the facility.

Petrillo, who moved to the center in 1990, is the only resident to have met Edward II, George I and now the Duchess of Cambridge, who is heir to the throne, when they visited the Center during their earlier Commonwealth Tours stops in San Myshuno.

After a tour of the center, the royals met with other residents of the Center to discuss challenges Commonwealth seniors face and ways to improve senior living.

The Duke and Duchess then joined Mrs. Petrillo in baking two of her famous desserts; a sweet potato pie and chocolate cake. The recipes are both featured in the 2021 York Senior Center’s cookbook.

Fellow resident, Gordon Simmons, even showed the Duke of Cambridge the dance moves that won him Best Dancer, a second year in a row, at the Centers annual talent show.

The Duke and Duchess ended their visit by joining Seniors in planting an elm tree that will form part of a Windenburg-wide canopy to mark the upcoming Trooping the Colors, which celebrates the birthday of His Majesty Albert I.

The Cambridges will have a formal meeting, followed by lunch, with the Prime Minister tomorrow morning to discuss environmental issues concerning the citizens of San Myshuno. Followed by a tour through the Arts Quarter.

The Duke and Duchess will spend a private evening with Duchesses second cousin, James Carmichael, and family before departing for Windenburg the following morning. 

Once The Duke and Duchess land in Windenburg, it will officially end their four-week Commonwealth Tour on behalf of His Majesty George I!

⚔️ Honor: How do you honor yourself? Others?

Silvaineaux: "I am not sure that I do honor myself. I suppose that I have always thought that if I behaved with honor and did things worthy of it others might honor me. I am not sure it is my place to honor myself, only to try and be worthy of it. As for how I honor others, I suppose that depends on what you mean by it. I try to offer some words of commendation when people deserve them. I defend those worthy of my defense. I give gifts when I can and when people will accept them. There is someone I would ride in a tournament to honor. I feel uncertain any of this quite fits what was meant by the question."

Your previous answer to the ask about Play nice made me think abt a wallflower reader…so the MC in play nice is kind of headstrong, how would shiggy react to a shy wallflower MC who can actually be pretty stubborn and headstrong?

Hmmm, I guess it'd depend on what you mean by shy. Because the way I think that I would depict "shyness" as a character trait kind of conflicts with the trait of being "headstrong", you know?

For simplicity's sake, let's say that the MC is a loner, rather than shy.

In that case, we gotta think about the reasons why we would choose a popular vs a loner protagonist for this type of story. I chose kind of an opposites attract type of dynamic for them so that they could learn lessons from each other -- essentially, Shigaraki needs to learn how to prioritize others, whereas MC needs to learn how to prioritize herself.

For a headstrong, loner MC, I'm not sure that this is a lesson they would need to learn, as they probably already don't prioritize others in the way that the current MC does. Nor do I think Shigaraki would learn to prioritize others from a character like this. It'd probably be tougher for him to lose her and therefore he wouldn't realize how much he cares through yearning.

It's interesting, because I think their day to day dynamic and fights would be very similar, but the literal obstacles and points of contention would need to be different. MC probably wouldn't be dating Mirio or worry about maintaining a social life, Shigaraki probably wouldn't be as resentful of her at the beginning, but I also don't know if he'd find anything especially special in her either.

There's always the case of a shy/wallflower MC growing a backbone and becoming stubborn over the course of the story, but that kind of goes back to the previous answer.

If she's stubborn and fights back from the start though?

Honestly, my instinct is that a headstrong wallflower is just Tomura Shigraraki. I think their personalities would be way too similar in this situation and they'd just bring out the absolute worst in each other, lol.
