Last Line Tag Game
I was tagged forever ago by @amewinterswriting and @doublegoblin, so here it goes. I'll be using a snippet from The Garden That Burned - book 1, Kindling.
POV = Dual
In hindsight, I definitely should have geared up before going head-to-head with the General of the Cosmos wars, but at least I got what I came for. I thought to myself as I looked toward the windows. It was already almost dawn, meaning I had quite a bit of work set out for me before I could arrive at the desired location at midnight with all the ingredients needed to perform my ritual under the light of two full moons. The ideal time to release the scariest Soulmancer Eden has ever known.
Here's a polite, non-obligatory tag for @toribookworm22, @words-after-midnight, @winterandwords, and @talesofsorrowandofruin.
As always, I hope your days to come are blessed to be the best! <3

I was wondering if any of your victors (and/or the canon victors, if you’d like to answer for them) had any pets, and if so, which ones and how many?
-LHS (on my main, since I can’t send asks from a side blog)
I definitley imagine Wiress as a cat mom.
Other Victor I also think has pets is Filip (D10M), who has a horse and he loves it so much hah
Don’t include it too much because it’s not like he can bring it with him to the Capitol so yeah haha

OC's Favorites tag
Thanks for the tag @doublegoblin! I haven't played this one before, but there's a first time for everything :P
RULES: Share your OC's favorite color, shoe choice, season, animal, pastime
For this tag game I'm going to be using Danny from The Garden That Burned series.
Favorite color: Baby blue. It reminds him of the sky back in the days he and his best friend Freitza would cloud gaze together after class. Back before life became so complicated.
Shoe choice: Danny is a Terranian. Terranians don't wear shoes, silly. It'd mess with their tremor sensing abilities. Danny hates shoes.
Season: He prefers autum (autumn/fall) as he risks disturbing and killing less plant life while practicing his Geomancy abilities.
Animal: Danny's favorite animal is the Tauropion. A chimera between a jaguar, a scorpion, and a bull. It's known as the Kingdom of Terran's (the Terranian's kingdom of Geomancers) official animal and it is honored on their flag.
Pastime: Reading. To be more specific, studying, but Danny enjoys reading in general as well. He's at his happiest when he's learning something new.
I shall tag: @winterandwords @talesofsorrowandofruin @luckyy19 and @amewinterswriting for some non-obligatory participation

Why hello there! I saw your prompts open so if I may..May I humbly request Shredded Jerky and/or Peking Duck with the prompt rooibos tea?
Certainly! Shredded Jerky and Peking Duck accompanied by some rooibos tea coming right up!
(Link to prompt request/prompt list post)
Warnings: Suggestive (Shredded Jerky... it's jerky, what else is expected ww)
Rooibos tea; what’s their favourite thing to do with their s/o?
Shredded Jerky
▪︎ He loves having you watch his shadow puppet shows. They are his pride and joy, and having you in the crowd further motivates him to put on a brilliant show that will captivate your attention for the rest of the night
▪︎ Sometimes, he'll invite you to see one of his practice shows under the guise of “wanting to understand the audience better”. In reality, he wants to take as much of your time as possible, keep you by his side for just a little longer before you have to go back and fulfill your duties as the young master
“... At last, the mother and son reunite and live the rest of their days in tranquil peace. The end.”
The curtains on the puppet stage fall, breaking you out of your trance before your applauds fill the room. “What a touching story, I'm sure the people will love this story too!”
Shredded Jerky peeks out from the back of the stage with a small grin. “Of course, when have my shows ever disappointed anyone?”
“Pft, right.” You look at him with doubtful eyes yet couldn't bring yourself to doubt him fully. Amongst all of the shows you've seen, none of the audience ever leave disappointed, always discussing the show with smiles on their faces as they leave swiftly, excited to share today's story with their friends and families before dragging them to come see the next puppet show. It was heartwarming to see people enjoy your lover's work and seeing his proud expression right after never fails to fill your heart with a sense of joy as well.
Suddenly, a small tug on your sleeve pulls you away from your thoughts, making you cast your gaze downwards until your eyes spot a little shadow puppet standing right next to your hand. The moment it notices that your attention is on it, it makes a gleeful sound before flying next to your face, rubbing it's paper face against your cheek as if giving you a kiss.
“Well well, looks like this little one is especially happy with your compliments.” Shredded Jerky mused, taking a seat next to you before propping his arm up against the armrest comfortably. He stares at the puppet with part admiration and part jealousy, unsure on whether he should let it be or pull it away so that your attention directed towards him again. However, before he could decide, you laugh cheerfully, rubbing the little puppet with one finger and putting your other hand over his arm.
“Should I also praise the puppet master for inviting me to see such a wonderful show?” You asked teasingly, smiling from ear to ear.
Shredded Jerky smirked, not missing a beat as he captures your hand with his other hand before leaning next to your ear, whispering with a sly tone.
“I would be honored to hear more praises, but perhaps we should move to somewhere else before you start reciting them. I don't want to let anyone else hear you call my name with that lovely voice of yours.”
Peking Duck
▪︎ Much like Jerky, he likes having you by his side while he's working. A king must always be productive, and what better way to increase his productivity than to have his lover standing by his side supporting him?
▪︎ Actually, if you stare at him for long enough, he'll start getting flustered and ask if there's something on his face. If you reply no or don't say anything while continuing to stare at him, he'll try to find a way to break your gaze on him. Whether it be looking away, covering your eyes or distracting you, he'll come up with a million different ways to redirect your gaze to somewhere else
▪︎ .... Every way except directly asking you to stop (Because he actually enjoys the stares very much but is too embarassed to admit it so he just uses it as an excuse to get closer to you. Please don't tease him any further, he's going to become an overcooked Peking Duck if you continue)
“You're staring.”
“Am not.”
“Are too.”
“Am not.”
“Are too.”
“Am not... unless you would like to turn around and see for yourself?”
You rest leisurely on a coach behind Peking, watching endearingly as his ears were starting to turn into the same bright red shade of his hair under your unrelenting gaze.
Meanwhile, Peking didn't turn around nor say anything, resorting to trying to block out his surroundings in order to better concentrate on his work. However, he soon found it impossible as your gaze on his back was too powerful of a force to resist, making him putting his brush down as steadily as he can with shaking hands before turning to face you with a pout. “Love, I need to submit all this paperwork before tomorrow. If not, then the ducks might cause havoc in Kongsang again.”
You frown, clearly displeased. “But you've been working nonstop stop for the past few hours. It's not good to work so hard, especially when you've just returned from a long expedition.”
“I.....”
Peking averts his gaze, causing you to sigh underneath your breath. Instantly, you stand up and wrap your arms around him from behind the chair, resting your chin on his shoulder. “Come on, I think it's time to take a break. An afternoon nap won't hurt anyone.”
He wants to protest but as soon as he opens his mouth, all the tiredness that he had been suppressing overtakes his body in an instant. A loud yawn escapes his lips before he rubs his face against your cheek, murmuring in a soft tone. "Alright, just a small nap. You're not allowed to leave my side while I'm napping, okay?"
You chuckle before pressing a kiss against his cheek. "Your wish is my command, my dear king."
A faint laugh escapes his lips, his heart melting fondly underneath your touch. Swiftly, he pulls you back to the couch and lies on it with you, wrapping his arms loosely around your waist before closing his eyes peacefully.
This time, he won't leave you. Not now, not ever.
