#vault rambles about fish

What’s an interest of yours you don’t get to talk about very much? Could be a hobby, a niche piece of media you like, an animal or era of history you're obsessed with. Anything! How did you get into it? What do you like about it?
-🐝
If you asked me this two days ago, I would have said Critical Role or something. But you asked me this today, and I am currently going insane about fish again.
I've talked about my fish hobby here two or three times, but not enough, so now I will subject people to it once more!
LOOK AT THIS

CARPETED PLANTS.
G R A S S
I need this in my life so badly. I tried once before and it failed miserable but now I'm smarter and stronger and wiser and know more about substrate i could do it. i BET I COULD .
Anyway to actually answer your questions, I love freshwater fish and aquascaping! I got into it back in college; one of my friends was always into it via her dad having an aquarium, and she offered go to a pet store with me and get some fish. I had no interest before, but I jumped into it and never went back!
I like it because it feels so much like an art form. Picking the right colored sand to compliment the rocks or wood, and then picking fish that contrast that. All based on whatever best fits the parameters, ofc. Always looking for ways to make it better, more balanced, etc. Every tank is so unique to the owner.
And also the simple joy of keeping something alive and happy :) Learning about different fish breeds personalities and the different ways they interact with me or each other. Its usually very subtle but some breeds are so expressive and I love them <3

I love that animation of the tiger and fox ocs that you have for DnD! What are the two characters names? I wanna learn everything I can about them omg :0
Awe, thank you kindly!! ;; I will do my best to answer, pardon if any of this is confusing, I am a bit sleepy- /// Big ramble ahead, for I cherish this opportunity The tiger is actually not one, but based on a fishing cat, though I can see how the very broad face can be a bit confusing! Otherwise I have also drawn the fox with an actual tiger fella, but he is not the one featured in the animation. <:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The cat, lovingly going by the name of Vodnik, belongs to my friend, as far as I understand (given his backstory is partly kept secret from me) he is a retired pirate, now fisher, whose a bit grumpy toward the world and wizards (Because they are elitist?). Additionally big ol' communist, tho the pirate part may have already suggested that.
Adding this lovely height chart done by @rema-rin to show the characters, with her wizard being the lanky blue nerd to the right.
Tumblr media
The fox, named Mishka, is my lil thief, accursed fey of sorts who eats shiny things, because she has some form of pocket dimension in her gullet. The DM very charitably granted me this infinite vault, knowing that my character would never let go of a single object that goes into it, so at this point they could have a dragons treasure in there and still refuse to spare a single copper coin. If its shiny, it goes down the hatch.
Tumblr media
The two met up in the wilderness, because she wanted to eat the scales off of the fish that Vodnik caught. Because Mishka is so short, she was originally mistaken as a lost child, but no, she is just an adult discount fey in her late 20s that will crawl on all fours and chew on toxic metals with no second thought behind it, because her brain is made for consumption, not for the laws of nature. Vodnik remains as grumpy as ever, but has seemingly grown somewhat empathetic toward Mishka, supporting her little "fill the void with tiny shiny things" without quite knowing the full extent of it. He's been a big Mishka apologist. She would eat the stars if nobody stopped her, she got huge klepto itches for anything reflective enough to catch her attention.

And for reference, the animation in question for those who looked thru this and were wondering:

Okay so, heres an in depth ramble/review of sonic frontiers! Big spoilers ahead!
Tldr: buy the game its good!
Okay now that i know eyes here are okay with spoilers imma start my revieeeeeeewww! :D
This game sure was something! But i love love loved it! I really liked how it played and the performance was great with only a few hickups in the open world but i could count that on my hand in the 14 hours ive played so far! For the difficulty, i didnt realize till later that you can hold down rb and lb to parry instead of timing it perfectly so me playing on easy was like, this game difficult aaaa! But once i figured out i could hold the buttons the challenge was more moderate for me!
I really enjoyed fishing! The last zone got a bit difficult for me so i used fishing to get the items i needed to progress! Fishing tokens which you need some of per fishing attempt are rare at the start but once you start doing the slot machine minigame that pops up every so often youll get crazy amounts of tokens fast! Also oh my gosh the little kocos are adorable!!! I will protect them with my LIFE! For me the open world was the most fun thing to do, the little stages you have to do to get vault keys are fine but for me getting enough keys could get a bit frustrating in some spots, music in those stages are great though! And also if a stage is too hard just do some fishing for vault keys theres no punishment! But yeah music in those stages are defo worth the few attemps! Music in the overworld also was very nice and relaxing as was fishing lo fi hip hop beats to fish to tm. Boss music tho? Screamer metal just took my by suprise and im so here for it?!?! Its great!
Okay now though i rlly want to gush about the story for a bit. So this is the super duper spoiler part!
So i wont recap the game but i do want to just say some things about it. Like pls give tails and eggman a hug? Especially the ending eggman was just so sad! Dude lost his daughter ; ~ ; and that actually made me tear up like oh my gosh i know eggy is the bad guy in sonic games but dude was rlly nice in this game to listen to. I rlly enjoyed listening to him in every cutscene. Finding out sage is like a daughter to him was super sweet to see. And tails tho? I cried when he was doing his story arc and went like. Sonic the events with infinite rlly fucked me up bro and sonic is like. U okay lill bro, want to talk about it? Pls give tails a hug! I also teared up at the start with amy when we did the koco sidequest and they just died??? And amy is like woah they died?!?! So yeah as you can see im a very easy to make cry person and this story just hit me hard at some spots! Thanks flynn! (Luv ur works im srs!)
Also the idw comics canon now in mainline games??? I heard sonic talk about tangle and it fricking took me off guard! Lets go tangle!
Also most fun thing for me to do in the game was revealing the map by doing all those little minigames!
Now i think ive said what i wanted to say, if ur reading this thanks for reading the full ramble thing i love you! Buy the game its great!! Im not going to say its perfect i still think mania for example is my fav sonic game still but this is by far my favorite game ive played this year!

I’ve been knee deep in dsmp lore streams and I just want to ramble about it
Dream smp lore is so good, it’s so good!!! Not only is the story itself just fascinating, but how it’s presented so uniquely through the medium of minecraft of all things is just so cool. One of my favorite parts of the lore is seeing how everyone on the smp has their own “style” they present it in, and watching them find the way they find the most enjoyment in is so cool. Literally no two streamer’s lore stream quite like each others and it’s just incredible! It just speaks to the flexibility of roleplay as an artistic medium and really shows everyone’s individual personalities. 
Wilbur was dramatic as hell and wrote eloquent speeches. He started a drug operation under the guise as a country, and it lead to a revolution in which he was able to explore the spiral of a man who loses control of everything he had built. And after his arc and he wanted a break from the server? He created ghostbur, an amnesic comic relief with just enough touch of tragedy that he is still able to make heartbreaking monologues when he wants to.
Tommy is able to run around with his friends and cause as much chaos to his heart’s extent, but there is so much more than meets the eye. He is incredibly social and isn’t afraid to start conflict with a lot of people, bringing them into the roleplay. He doesn’t back down from storytelling either. His character goes through terrible situations and he fully explores the trauma that comes from those experiences. His character goes against the “stereotypical” trauma I see alot in media; instead of being shy or scared he’s reactionary, he’s angry, he’s violent, he’s depressed. I’m actually really impressed with the heavy subject matter this 17 year old teen has managed to portray (I’ve connected with it quite personally at certain points), while still being able to keep the light hearted fun that’s so intrinsic to his personality. 
Tubbo isn’t really interested in serious lore as much. Even in dire moments he tells jokes and just has fun. So, in his recent lore, he just streams as normal while putting mysterious writing on screen that he doesn’t acknowledge or have to explain, which I think is just a genius work around for him to participate in lore. He still has his dedicated lore streams sometimes, and when he is in the acting zone he has some of the most powerful moments out of everyone on the server.
Ranboo, while having stake in the greater smp lore, is much more character focused. He presents his lore through long monologues and fucking heart-wrenching voice acting. He loves working in themes of horror and causing a specific feeling in the viewer. So he chooses specific music as a themes for events/characters and creates visual queues in his overlays to draw out that desired reaction. He also values improve a LOT, if something unexpected comes up he just runs with it and he has made huge changes to his lore as early as 30 min before a stream.
Technoblade, while arguably one of the most powerful people on the server, prefers a more light-hearted yet dramatic approach to lore. When Dream was at his house looking for Tommy, Techno had no problem joking around and making fun of him for being homeless. He tore down an entire nation on the server and had so much fun doing it! He’s more of an antagonist than a true villain in my opinion. And lets not forget how dedicated he is to the game, he’s cracked at the craft. He spends hours grinding and creating farms on the smp, for amazing pay offs (his several vault reveals, the withers, etc), most of which weren’t even on stream!
Karl Jacobs is extremely social, so he created Tales from the smp as a way to involve TONS of people in lore while exploring the past and future of the server (it was also a way for viewers who weren’t that well versed in dsmp lore to join and not have to worry about it!). And through this premise, he took the opportunity to develop his own character on the smp; making an incredibly tragic story of a time traveler trying to save his home while slowly loosing his memories. Not to mention the beautifully shot cutscenes of the Inbetween and the Other Side. He includes so many people behind the scenes as well, collabing with other members on lore, hiring building teams and people to make intros and credit scenes, and promoting fanart and fansongs from the community!
Quackity explores his lore through heavily scripted events and amazingly shot cut scenes. While the way he expresses his lore comes at the cost of improv, the payoff of the visuals and story is well worth it! The shots he makes of the smp is downright gorgeous, no to mention he’s the first person to include irl footage in his lore (not counting facecams)! He’s not afraid of thoroughly examining his own character, being one of the only people I can think of that shows us “past events” leading up to something that has already happened.
Badboyhalo, Antfrost, Ponk, Skeppy, Captain Puffy, Punz, Awesamdude, Hannahxxrose all work together on shared lore and the payoff is amazing! By introducing the Egg, a constant antagonistic force that constantly pulls on character’s relationships with each other, everyone is able to stream together to battle for or against the egg! There’s also plenty of room for people to do individual lore that's more intimate to their respective character. They spend hours changing vines, putting up posters, slowly shaping the smp in a way that makes it exciting to watch streams to see just what has changed everyday. Because there’s so many people necessary to tell the egg’s story, it does comes at the cost of time (the egg has been around FOREVER). However, they all work together super hard and I just admire their commitment to the story they’re trying to tell!
And Sam! He has several different “Modes” his character is in (and an entirely separate character, Sam Nook) that he gets to explore lore with. He’s a terrifying warden, he’s a money motivated businessman, he’s a conflicted lover, he’s a traumatized victim of the egg, and just so much more. Through having so many different “roles” in the rp he gets to explore relationships and plotlines with a whole array of people. Not to mention he’s absolutely cracked at redstone and has some of the most impressive builds on the server.
And Puffy! So much of her lore is calling into question the morality of the server and really makes you step back and think critically about the characters. Her character also has, in my opinion, one of the most interesting relationships with Dream, the main antagonist of the entire server, which is just fascinating to watch unfold. Not to mention she’s one of the first people to start exploring the backstory of her character!
George doesn’t exactly do lore. In fact he’s slept through so much of it it’s become a meme. And you know what? That mad man took that and ran with it. He explains his absence in the story by having his character literally being asleep through it, creating mystery where there used to just be an absence. He’s able to goof off with his friends and have borderline nonsensical streams, then at the end sucker punch the audience emotionally by “waking up” and have the viewers question just what was real and what wasn’t?
The smp has the freedom for people who want more independent lore to be able to explore their character’s that way as well!
Hbomb, Connereatspants, and Purpled don’t have a lot of lore on the smp, generally only coming on to have fun with everyone, but when they do have their moments it unfolds in very interesting ways!
Sapnap, Eret, and Schlatt maybe aren’t as active as some other people, but when they are on they actively participate in lore and have lasting impacts on the story (Ex: Eret’s betrayal, Sapnap’s visit to dream in the prison, Schlatt becoming president).
Philza mostly does his own thing, improving the server or making some bomb ass builds. He has incredibly devastating roles in lore (killing wilbur, blowing up L’manberg for the final time, starting the syndicate with Techno), but he also has quieter moments that speak to the depth his character has, such as fishing with fundy or reminiscing about his dead son and how it went so wrong. Like Techno, he doesn’t like to take lore completely seriously, often laughing no matter what’s happening or teasing chat after something big goes down, but his character is solid with a lot of potential for future lore.
Foolish has only started on his character and its already super interesting. The hints at his dark past as a “god of death” and his current conflict with the egg are intriguing as fuck. Not to mention the MASSIVE builds he does for everyone, helping to progress their lore as well.
Fundy has a lot of freedom with his character to participate however much he wants in lore. While generally he’s a trickster who loves to prank people he has enough tragedy build into his backstory he’s able to break the viewer’s heart with a flip of a switch. Not to mention his recent, almost surreal, stream that explored his character’s disturbing dreams that may or may not predict the future.
Niki is very character driven, exploring her character's grief of losing her best friend and her anger of being ignored in the very country she helped create. She has incredibly emotional moments, and even though she’s on her own building an underground city she still participates in other lore via teaming with jack manifold or the syndicate.
Jack Manifold’s lore is VERY character focused, and while he’s described his story as a “B plot that occasionally intersects with the main plot”, the story he tells is still fascinating. Being pushed aside not taken seriously his whole life, his character develops into a fun cartoony-esque villain who begs to be taken seriously, that has the depth of a truly conflicted person who is torn between wanting revenge on everyone who’s done him wrong and just wanting a friend.
Last but not least, the man himself, Dream. The most fascinating thing about his lore is that absolutely none of it is from his pov. All we know about his character is only from what we see from everyone else’s povs, and in his case it leads to a very intimidating villain! Not to mention, mans owns the damn server and yet has made himself the main antagonist! He is the only character I consider a “true villain” on the smp. His voice acting and writing is downright sinister. I could write a fucking essay on how his character’s obsession with power has led him to the point he thinks himself an unstoppable god
Everyone on this server is stunning and I love all of them!!!!!

alright im making this for one person and one person only @me-a-skykid (that’s ur sideblog right? god this would be awkward if i tagged the wrong person lol)
this is just a collection of my rambling thoughts about each of the realms and what they are used for/who lives there and such, i’ll probably talk about the culture and such later
i dont know if this makes much sense but i would love to talk about this with you, please ask me any questions you have or anything rlly
so tell me your thoughts! :D
i’m putting it under a read more because oh my god i wrote a lot
so i wanted to rename each of the realms but some of them i’m still not sure on :/ so that’s what’s with the second name
isle-Binial?
where all moths are born, guiders(i’ll explain this later i swear) and sky kids looking to adopt flock here, some people stay for the community feeling, because it's like a suburban neighborhood with many small children, others like it for the quiet they can find by the shores, moths typically contained to the center of isle for their safety
     cave of prophecy-fun training grounds, in the trials, they don’t actually die, the prophet just laughs and helps them back on track, closer to a referee that a prophet
daylight prairie-Digarem?
fishman region, everyone here fishes or build boats or trains mantas for various jobs, some people are butterfly breeders/keepers, others dont have a area specific job but they like the atmosphere
    sanctuary isle-a beach resort type place! people commonly go there to just relax and play with the flock of mantas and swim in the water
hidden forest-Hirthlim?
mainly filled with artisans and researchers, wood carvers, painters, jewelers, the cave in the tree has gems that they mine for decoration, metal workers, forgers etc etc
    treehouse-a big commune basically, people go there if they need to hide from someone or if they simply need to get away from it all, it's also where moths whos guiders/family have died or been lost are left, sometimes the moth isn't a good fit for the family either they are brought back to isle or brought to treehouse, to be re-adopted or if they are old enough, to simply figure out if they want another family or to go off on their own for a while
    flight-the mail center, also a huge manta training grounds but only for riding or help with pulling carts and such; also used as training grounds for flying in tight spaces or with really strong winds
valley of triumph-Valem
large bustling city, Valem + Empyrean(eden) hold like 70% of all sky kids permanent homes; it has many markets and schools and just overall is this huge cultural landmark, anything u can think of? they got it; a lot of moths stay there a long time before making the journey to Empyrean and some never leave; super big on competition and flying, many sports and holds many many games and celebrations, 
    village of dreams-the moth epicenter, basically the suburbs, many many families have their permanent home here, huge huge houses, where ice skating lessons are held
    hermit valley-where all engineers and inventors and scientist and researchers live, they are the ones making the flying boats and looking into the dark plants and the power crystals, there's also the normal types of researchers like how the world works and there's a lot of researchers investigating the old murals and trying to write of of sky’s history and religion down, there's also a lot of people looking into helping disabled sky kids and making better gear for various jobs + mantas
golden wastelands-Gaial
mainly farming fields before the big border wall for Empyrean, inside that wall are smaller villages, basically like the midwest, farms for miles and miles, a canyon is in the west but people rarely venture that way due to being so far out of the way but a small town/castle thing lies on the coast
    forgotten ark-there's no ark there, its just another farm but since its an island, they have different crops and such, very floral and such, think tropics
vault of knowledge-simply the library
its filled with researchers and scribes, all of the kingdoms history is recorded here, this is where the “priests” live too, priests arent actually priests but more the high level scribes, because they know a lot of information and can offer good advice, no one can actually talk to Megabird obviously but they have studied the memory cubes for most of their life so they know more than anyone else which is why people go to them for advice, this is like home base for all researchers, any researches elsewhere come from the library and will return there if their research is finished, they also send all their reports there
    starlight desert-the childrens library! this is where moths can learn about the history or just hear stories, sometimes older sky kid will leave their moths here for a while like a daycare, there’s people who live in eden that are like school teachers basically that work in starlight
eden-Empyrean
this is like a huge spiraling city, i saw someone compare it to the tower of babel so i’m strongly referencing that, there’s multiple levels, getting smaller as they go up, the very top level is where King Resh and his advisors live and work, lower level down is where they hold meeting with the elders and just general important stuff idk, floors 1-4 are split in half basically, one half is purely the library and is normal house and stores and workshops and such, spirit mantas are used to move large groups of people around like buses or to travel around on one floor if they dont want to fly or have a large package or something, spirit mantas are also used in the library to reach the memory cubes higher up because that way the scribe would be stable instead of having to flap up and down, spirit mantas are used instead of regular mantas because they are calmer and easier to train, they also grow up quicker and can fly stationary in the air which is great for the confined space of eden

We All Fall Down (Chocobros x f!Reader)
For those times when clumsiness gets the best of us. 
↞Noctis↠
“Noctis, how did the two of you get up there?” Regis inquired, already mentally preparing himself for the absurd situation the prince was about to relay. Seeing his son and his fiancee dangling from one of the Citadel’s many spires was not what the King had pictured his Tuesday afternoon would look like.
“Y/N and I bet each other that the other wouldn’t be able to get from the throne room to the training room blindfolded.” Noctis stated as if it was a normal activity that young people did in their free time. The disappointed, but not surprised, look on Regis’ face made Noctis hesitant to continue.
“Y/N might have fallen a couple stories off a balcony before I warped to catch her.” Noctis grimaced and gave a cautionary look down to his father.
“But I’m okay!” You chimed in as cheerful as ever. Throwing the King an enthusiastic wave caused Noctis’ grip on the spire to falter. Both you and the prince screeched in fear, your holds tightening around one another.
“Do you need help getting down?” Regis offered, cringing slightly when Nocts’ arm began to quiver.
“No.” The Prince spat with a childish pout. It was like a toddler arguing with his overworked father. It would have been an endearing interaction to observe if you were not hanging precariously from the side of a building.
Regis deadpanned before shaking his head and smiling.
“Get down quickly, then. I was going to treat the two of you to ice cream.” He nagged playfully, turning on his heels. He didn’t get more than five steps before a resounding crash sounded on the walkway behind him. Turning his head, he was met with entangled limbs and pained groans.
The laughter that boomed from the King’s dignified frame shocked the two who were recovering from their fall. You and Noctis exchanged wide eyes before bursting into laughter yourselves. When you caught up to Regis, he placed an arm around each of you as you walked back into the Citadel, the sunlight warm on your backs.
If you thought you had escaped the dad lecture about how to navigate a castle safely, you would be wrong.
↞Prompto↠
Letting a bunch of Crown City High School sophomores loose on a chocobo ranch screamed chaos from the beginning. After the scheduled tour of the facilities and getting an in depth lecture on the intricate process of chocobo breeding, the children were set free to roam about the premises. For the more fearless students, free and lets say,  too casual  chocobo lessons were open. Too casual meaning unsupervised while the handler took a smoke break.
Naturally, you and Prompto were the most willing participants out of your friend group.
“I think I’m getting the hang of it!” You shouted to the blonde boy leaning excitedly on the arena’s fence as you trotted around the dirt pen.
“Yeah, you look great-Y/N!” Prompto didn’t have time to finish his compliment before he was vaulting over the fence towards your crumpled form. The chocobo had thrown you from its back so quickly that he didn’t have time to process the situation until you had already flopped ungracefully on the ground.
Placing his hands on your shoulders, he frantically turned you over to check for a concussion. The wind had been knocked out of you but other than that you looked unharmed. You sat there dazed for a few moments propped against his embrace before giggles bubbled from your chest.
“I wanna go again!” You exclaimed happily, seemingly unphased that your head had just fallen short of the bird’s powerful kick.
“How about we go visit the babies, huh?” He gently coaxed, eyeing the annoyed bird. It ruffled its plumage and squawked angrily as the two of you waddled out of the pen and towards the petting barn. All the while he couldn’t stop thinking how simultaneously alarming and cute your reaction was.
↞Ignis↠
“Stay awake, dear.” Ignis hummed in a low tone. The tour of the newly developed shopping complex had commenced once again and your group was now on the move towards the food court. Your head lazily dropped from where it rested on Ignis’ shoulder, snapping you back into reality.
“Huh? I was just resting my eyes.” You bluffed, briskly slapping your cheeks to bring some alertness into your veins. Ignis shook his head slightly as your group came to another stop.
“Why did you bring me on this again?” You stifled a yawn as one of the businessmen threw you a dirty look through his monocle. Hiding your tiredness with a cough you smiled awkwardly until he returned his gaze to the tour guide.
“It was  you  who insisted on coming, I told you to sleep in this morning.” Ignis whispered cheekily. The two of you were representing the Citadel in this group of stuffy conglomerates scouting for new business ventures. You decided to come, the nosy person you were, despite your exceptional exhaustion. Being a college student and a member of the Crownsguard was not recommended if you wanted to get a decent amount of sleep and graduate at the same time.
“Couldn’t bear spending an hour without me, hmm?” Ignis slyly poked you in the side, an amused smile on his lips. Huffing, you nudged him back playfully. Ignis was about to retaliate when the monocle man cleared his throat rather aggressively. It seemed you were disturbing his learning environment.
“And now we will make our way to the next floor.” The guide announced, his crisp tone filling the open space of the vacant mall.
Ignis ascended onto the escalator first, allowing you to rest your head on his back. You could care less if you got a makeup stain on his freshly pressed suit vest, any second you got to stare at the inside of your eyelids felt like pure bliss.
You had not anticipated for the ride to be so short and you didn’t have time to adjust to the absence of your headrest when he stepped off the escalator. Flailing like a fish, your face almost said hello to the tile when a strong grip on your waist held you up and pushed you, albeit clumsily, off the moving steps.
Regaining your composure you automatically thanked Ignis for catching your fall. Only, Ignis was in front of you and there was a hand still on your stomach. Slowly craning your neck back to see your savior, you saw yourself in the reflection of a polished golden monocle. An undignified squeak left your mouth as you jumped out of the man’s arms.
The man with the monocle scowled at you and clicked his tongue under his bristly peppered mustache. Heat rose to your cheeks and you sputtered a small thank you as he gruffly brushed past Ignis to rejoin the rest of the tour.
Ignis bit his lip to stifle his impending laughter. He needed to stay professional after all. He held out his arm to you, which you graciously took, and hid your face behind his sleeve until the embarrassment had washed itself from your cheeks.
↞Gladiolus↠
“And then Cindy almost punched the guy in the mouth because he was getting a little to handsy but I managed to thro-WHOA.” Your rambling was cut short by your ankle twisting haphazardly as you padded down the sunbaked steps of Lestallum’s main street. The steaming hot styrofoam of the Cup Noodles in your hand consequently went flying out of your grasp as you scrambled to collect your floundering form.
Expecting to see the horrendous sight of your freshly brewed noodles splattered on the pavement like the scene of a murder, you were pleasantly surprised when it was intact in Gladio’s hand.
“You okay?” He asked, placing the noodles on the stairs. He crouched down to look at your ankle. You nodded, giving it a few rolls. “Yeah, I’m good. What about your hand? Did it get burned?” You prodded, gently bringing his hand that held your cup noodles to your eye level.
“Nah it’s fine. My hand just smells like ramen now.” He chuckled.
“Now it's beefy, just like you.” You smiled cheekily, snatching your noodles from his grasp in a fluid movement. You skipped down the remaining stairs, leaving him to smile fondly before quickly catching up and squeezing your side, your combined giggles meshing with the subtle buzzing of the power-plant.

Revisiting Banana Fish, Almost Two Years Later.
*Spoiler warning for any new comers to the fandom.*
Tumblr media
The Banana Fish fandom, to put it bluntly, is pretty much dead. I haven't been as active as I was when I first discovered the anime in October two years ago, but oddly enough, I think I still think about this series almost every day. I still think, even if only for a second, about Ash, about Eiji, about the impact their story, and all the other characters story, has had on me. 
I'm really only posting this to ramble. To talk about the relationship between Eiji and Ash, and to of course, talk about the ending and Garden of Light. (Which was only in the manga for any anime onlys. I've also made a post on the ending when the last episode came out, but it was mainly manga focused and written horribly.)
I will begin first with the importance of the relationship:
Tumblr media
Ash is a character who has been through a lot of shit. That much is clear from the first episode. (Papa Dino, trailing his hand down Ash's cheek with his possesive grip and condecending tone.)
Ash's story is difficult. Is it one of redemption? Yes, but no. 
When Ash sees Eiji poll vault, when he sees Eiji fly through the air freely and gracefully, he too wants to do that. He wants to be able to let everything go and fly in the air, if only for a little bit. He is in awe of Eiji. In want of him. 
Tumblr media
*Gif credit: https://mobpsycho100.tumblr.com/post/175820001579?ref=weheartit*
Eiji is kind. And like Sing has stated, he finds a way to reach out to the lost people and leave some sort of imprint. Some sort of connection with them, albeit, unknowingly. But Ash is someone who needed someone like that to enter his life. Someone who could show him that there was an out, and if he wanted to take it, he could, somehow. 
Tumblr media
The beauty of seeing Eiji slowly help Ash out of the rut he's gotten himself in is something I was (and still am,) happy to have had the pleasure of seeing. It's Eiji Ash turns to whenever something happens. It's Eiji Ash immediatley thinks of when there’s trouble. And it's also Ash that Eiji is constantly thinking about. It's Ash Eiji wants everything to change for. He wishes constantly that things were different. 
The relationship they have is this: equal. Sure, you could argue that it's not, considering the power Ash holds with the flick of his finger. But that power is never demonstrated on Eiji. The love and comfort they each have for each other is mirrored. I’ve never felt as if one loved each other less or more than the other.
One very important thing I want to talk about (this was a popular discussion among some fans when the anime was finishing it's course,) is that a loving relationship does not need to be sexual for it to be considered that; a relationship.
Sure, a common thing when people think of relationships is that. Kissing and sex. It's almost as though they need to be part of one for that relationship to be valid.
But you would have to be blind, or seriously stupid, to not be able to see the love Ash and Eiji have for each other. With their touches and the way they so clearly care for each other. It just confuses me so much how people could ever look at them and not think they were, in some aspect, romantically interested/with one another. 
Tumblr media
I just think it's really amazing to see something like that displayed so casually. There’s never any questioning among them. Never a moment when either expressed or wanted things to escalate and I think that’s so touching. 
I will know discuss the ending, with a lot of aspects from my old post, but now with (hopefully) more concise thoughts.
The ending is this: heartbreaking.
Although I don't think I've seen a lot of this in the fandom, I know a common argument for why endings like Banana Fish shouldn't even be endings is that it shows there is no recovery from the life Ash has been through, and I disagree.
(This is not to say you can't have that conception.)
Tumblr media
The ending is still confusing to me. No matter how many times I've tried to exam it. No matter how many times I've tried to argue with myself that, this is what it meant, I'm sure. I still can't come up with a clear answer that I enjoy.
There are so many questions: Why didn't Ash seek medical help? He would have known that those wounds weren't fatal. Why did he chose to let  himself die? Was it because he couldn't bring himself to do this anymore? Was it because of an underlying guilt he felt for tying Eiji to himself? 
One of the answers I often contemplate is this: Ash was tired. I think he really thought there wasn’t an easy, a foreseeable, out that would leave Eiji and him safe. That the offer Eiji gave him to come to Japan just wasn’t plausible. I think he really was just done.
I also think that when Ash read Eijis letter (that beautiful letter that still makes my chest tight,) he felt at peace. After reading, my soul is always with you (I’m literally having trouble typing this,) I think he knew that that was true. That wherever Ash went, Eiji would follow somehow. Eiji would somehow be tied to him.
I think in that moment, with it pretty much spelt out for him, Ash knew he was loved. And he thought that that love was enough. And that he could die, with the smile on his face, knowing this.
Lastly, although this will be very brief, I want to talk about Garden of Light. And how sad it really makes me that Eijin really did stick to those words: my soul is always with you. 
Eiji has grown up, it has been nine years, his hair is longer, and still yet, he is back in New York and is still consumed by the thought of Ash. 
It brings me immense amounts of pain to see Eiji still so stuck on Ash. Still not able to really accept what has happened. I even think him growing his hair out was a part of that.
Let’s compare it to Yut Lung, who grew his hair out in an attempt to stay close to his past. In an attempt to still be tied to his mother, the only person he was able (beside Blanca and Sing, who didn’t come until many years later,) to find solace in. But who left him.
Now with Eiji, the similarity here is this: Eiji was tied to Ash so strongly. They were incredibly important to each other (obviously,) Similar to how deeply Yut Lung and his mother were important to each other. (Although in different contexts.) But, I think he grew his hair out as an attempt to distance himself from Ash. To distance himself from that pain.
At the end of volume 19, Eiji finally played those photos from so long ago. He was finally able to find some way to accept what happened. Even if only a little bit. And this fills me with such intense emotion. To finally see Eiji cry because things can’t change. I’ll never come back from that. 
Tumblr media
I don’t think Banana Fish will ever be far from me. It’s been two years and I still think about it with such intense fondness and sadness. This was a series that greatly impacted me, and for that I am grateful.

I finally got around to watching the disc saga finale. (I joined the dsmp fandom around the same time as c!Tommy’s third canon death, so I wasn’t around when it originally happened). I’d been putting it off for awhile cuz I had other lore I wanted to catch up on first, and I kinda already knew what happened. I knew the gist of the events; I knew about c!Dream’s effed-up hall of attachments; I knew a reasonable amount about what the stuff he had or was planning to put in there was and why it was important. I’d even heard about the Skeppy cage, but I’d mostly just seen jokes about it, so it didn’t really hit me how messed up it is, on so many levels, until I actually watched it.
And I Have Not Stopped Thinking About It Since.
Like, holy SHIT that whole thing is messed up. Just... how much it says about how Dream views Skeppy. As less than a person. Like an object or a pet. Just... AaAAaaAaaaaAAAAaaaaaaaaa
C!Dream even had a WHOLE ENTIRE PRISON constructed to hold people he wanted to be held captive. Sure, he said he was gonna put c!Tommy in there, but there was more than one cell, so other people could be put in there too. And the prison definitely seems more secure than the hall of attachments. And despite this. C!Dream. Was planning to put c!Skeppy. In his messed up basement display. Of other people’s PETS and VALUABLES!?!??!!??!
The conditions in Pandora’s Vault are horrible and inhumane, obviously. But c!Dream has a sink. And a toilet. And we can see he gets a steady supply of food. Originally, there was a clock to tell time and books so he’d have something to do. The Skeppy cage had NONE OF THESE THINGS. There isn’t even enough space to lie down. And as far as we can tell, c!Dream was just planning on keeping him there INDEFINITELY?!?!!??!!??!
We know c!Dream thinks of himself as above everyone else, and so he treats other people terribly, but... putting c!Skeppy in with the objects and pets he’s using to manipulate everyone else makes it seem like he views c!Skeppy specifically as below even that level of personhood. Which does kinda make me wonder why he would view specifically c!Skeppy this way. My first thought is that maybe it’s because of the link between c!Bad and c!Skeppy’s canon lives. It could also be that c!Skeppy is non-human, like gemfolk or a hybrid or something, like people often headcanon, and c!Dream is just being discriminatory. I’d be really interested to hear your thoughts on the matter. Like I said, I’m mostly caught up lore-wise at this point, but there’s probably stuff I’m missing.
Anyway, I kinda want to punch c!Dream in the face now. Even more than I did before. Holy fuck.
ANON I FUCKING LOVE YOU I love getting long rambles in my inbox ANYWAY YOU ARE SO FUCKING RIGHT!!! DREAM COULD HAVE PUT SKEPPY IN THE PRISON BUT HE VIEWS SKEPPY AS SO MUCH LESSER, ON THE SAME LEVEL AS A FUCKING FISH AND IT MAKES ME SOOOO MAD. I think it probably has something to do with how dream was always closer to bad than skeppy, so he just sees skeppy as bad's life source and nothing else... BUT THE IDEA OF IT JUST BEING BECAUSE C!DREAM IS RACIST IS KILLING ME

Dummy but make it thicc
[i have no idea what you're on about anon so my brain took an idea an ran with it. here’s a ridiculous dummy thicc reader sequel no one asked for]
warning for non-consensual ass slaps i guess?
Pyramid Head X dummy thicc f!reader (crack)
After the clapping incident with the Doctor, you felt ready to crawl into a hole and die of embarrassment. Nea kept snickering for days and Ace, the bastard, went on to tell the entire survivor camp about your unfortunate assventure at Léry’s. At least Jane shared your mortification and stayed by your side in solidarity while the others joked about you and the Doc.
When a harrowed Laurie returned from a trial with a new survivor in tow and announced the arrival of a new and terrifying killer, you were elated to have the attention shift from you.
It was only a matter of time before you woke up in a trial in the unfamiliar map of a crude replica of a school. You’re alone but eventually find a generator in one of the classrooms, crouching to repair it while listening to the ominous screeching of metal on concrete coming from somewhere within the building.
When you hear a heartbeat, you sneak away to a hole in the wall in a corner that you spotted earlier, ready for a quick escape. It’s impossible to tell if the killer is coming for you or chasing someone on the floor below you.
While sneaking over, you trip over something and pain flares up your leg--razor wire? What the fuck? You try to get loose, the wire digging into your ankles. Fuck. You need to get somewhere safe to pry off the sharp item. You glance at the vault leading to another room.
You carefully begin to squeeze through the opening in the wall, minding your injured legs. Shit, it’s a tight fit! You use your arms for leverage and manage to fit your ample bosom through the opening, but your hips are just way too thicc! You kick your legs for momentum, but the damn wire gets them tangled up together! You try to back out through the hole, but now your boobs are stuck. You sit there for a second, uselessly hanging from the vault with your thicc ass sticking out one one side of the wall and your generous breasts from the other. You scream out in frustration; why does this keep happening!?
“H-hello, y/n? Are you ok?” Dwight calls out from the hallway, peering into the room where your front half is currently situated. “Does it look like I’m ok?? I’m stuck, help me out!! And don’t you dare bring up the hospital--” you warn. “I wouldn’t! J-just tell me what to do!” Dwight assures, blushing from second hand embarrassment, no doubt. “...Go into the next room and push my ass.” “W-what!?” Dwight exclaims, beet red and looking scandalized. “I’m not getting back the way I came! So help me through!” “I couldn’t--” “Shut the fuck up and do it!”
Dwight disappears from the doorway and you hear him pitter patter to the other room. You hang your head in embarrassment and try to tell yourself that Dwight finding you is probably the best possible scenario. The boy is painfully shy and surely wouldn’t even dream of letting the others know about any of this--
“I’m gonna get one of the girls!” you hear Dwight’s muffled squeak through the wall before he sprints off in search of the others. “DWIGHT YOU COWARD! GET BACK IN HERE AND TOUCH MY ASS!!” you yell in frustration, uselessly pounding on the wall with your fists.
Before you can make too much of a scene, you hear the heartbeat approach again and ease up on your tantrum. You hear heavy footsteps in the room you were just in (and where half of you technically still is) and hold your breath while the heartbeat keeps getting louder, praying to whatever deity that the killer doesn’t find you in this embarrassing position.
There’s the familiar sound of a generator being kicked, and then the heartbeat vanishes. You let out a sigh of relief; seems the killer didn’t want to waste time looking around in the room--
You let out a startled yelp when you feel something smacking playfully against your behind. Trying to twist around to glare at the perpetrator, you remember the wall is blocking your view. Who the fuck would--
A dark, echoing chuckle through the wall interrupts your thoughts, followed by the heartbeat blaring in your ears. You feel cold sweat start trickling down the back of your neck; the killer had found you! But instead of slashing you with his weapon, he had... spanked you?? What was he playing at? Your feel another swat against your buttocks.
“Hey! Stop it, you creep!” you yell out, trying to kick the killer with your legs but end up just floundering like a fish on dry land, the killer chuckling in amusement at your antics. Suddenly a metallic ‘clank’ through the wall can be heard, followed by the killer letting out a surprised grunt.
“Back the FUCK off, you bastard!!” you hear Yui’s voice, sounding absolutely pissed and ready to throw fists on your behalf. “Yeah! G-get away from her, or else!” Dwight’s voice follows, clearly trying to be brave for you. “You heard him, assface!” Yui keeps taunting the killer while Kate sneaks into the room you’re in. “Are you okay y/n? What happened?” Kate whispers, barely concealed panic on her features. “I got stuck and the killer found me and is slapping my ass,” you mutter in defeat, more embarrassed than anything, just done with the whole situation. You idly listen in as Yui has proceeded to yell Japanese profanities at the killer, who is clearly trying to communicate something by interrupting her with the occasional grunt and groan. “Aww geez, I’m so sorry,” Kate offers, cringing in sympathy. “We’ll get ya out of this hun, just hang in there,” she encourages, kneeling down beside you to offer companionship. “Not like I have a choice,” you say, rolling your eyes.
The argument of the other side of the wall abruptly stops, and soon Yui’s head pokes in from the doorway.
“The killer’s gonna help us get you unstuck!” Yui announces. “How the fuck did you even--” you try to ask, wondering how she could have possibly arrived to the conclusion from the unintelligible shouting match. “We’re gonna push from this side, Kate you pull, ok? On three!” Yui interrupts and bolts back to the other room. 
You feel someone start untangling the barbed wire from your feet, but before you can even stretch your legs as the wire comes loose, the trio apparently gets into position to start pushing you. You feel cool metal against the entirety of your buttocks, flinching from the sensation but steeling yourself as Kate grabs your arms.
“One... two... THREE!” Yui shouts.
On the cue, Pyramid Head shoves against your ass with the flat side of his helmet, while Yui and Dwight push the bottom of the helmet from either sides, and Kate pulls on your arms, feet flat on the wall for better leverage.
“Woah!” you yelp as your ass finally slips through the wall and you land on Kate, sprawling out inelegantly on top of the blonde. “That’s what I’m talking about!” Yui cheers through the hole, no longer muffled. She gives Pyramid Head’s helmet an encouraging smack. “Thanks for the help! And, uh, sorry for throwing the flashlight at you earlier.”
Dwight rushes into the room to help you up on your feet, with Yui and the killer following shortly after.
“Soo...” Kate drawls, dusting off her tank top. “Ya gonna kill us, or...?” she glances at the killer, who shakes his head and motions for you to follow him. “I think he wants to farm,” Yui, apparently now fluent in monster lingo, explains. “Works for me,” you say, relieved to have the whole thing over and done with. The three of you start to follow the killer through the school, practically getting a guided tour of the unfamiliar building.
Later, when Dwight is opening the exit gate and Yui and Kate are arguing over a purple med-kit, you sneak up to the unsuspecting killer, giving his ass a hard SMACK. The killer flinches in surprise while you blush in embarrassment, not expecting the flesh to be so... firm. You stare at the generous, round globes and barely resist the urge to grope.
“Uh... That’s for earlier!!” you say when the killer turns around to face you, puffing yourself up in challenge and trying to hide your blush. The killer snorts, crossing his arms and tilting his head in a silent challenge.
“B-besides--you got two slaps on me! If anything you owe me one!” you ramble on, embarrassment setting in at the words flowing out of your mouth. The killer gives a hearty chuckle, before--you can barely believe it--turning around to indulge you.
“What the fuck,” you hear Yui mutter.
The killer proceeds to further surprise you, bending to grab the hem of his apron, before starting to pull it up to reveal his--
“OKAYWE’RELEAVINGBYE!!” Dwight squeaks out in mortification, bolting out through the now open exit with a giggling Kate and stunned Yui in tow, leaving you alone with an eyeful of bare killer ass.
[i had way too much fun writing this. inspired by that one dbd screenshot of ph’s ass]

!!SPOILERS FOR JANUARY 4TH FESTIVAL STREAM!!
disclaimer: i can’t talk about everything because i have final exams next week and really should be studying so i can’t exactly go back and watch all the vods; i watched the entire thing from ranboo’s perspective and his acting was immaculate good on him. everyone that i discuss in this ramble are, of course, their characters, and not the actual ccs.
holy shit holy SHIT i cannot THINK brain go brrrrrr
okay i need to split this up because i physically cannot disentangle the jumble my brain and emotions are in right now my mind is just a pile of scrambled eggs
predictions??? or well thoughts about tomorrow
one of the things i thought of right away was clingyduo losing their last canon lives together, though this is on shaky ground because i seriously doubt “season two” (for lack of a better word) of the dream smp would end so quickly after season one, and because tommy and tubbo are both such huge catalysts for events happening on the smp, this seems pretty unlikely (they’re both too important for them to end up as a casual death for the sake of moving the plot along, there are a lot of other characters who aren’t on their final canon lives or even some that are that might die if the writers really wanted that bit of oomf, though i don’t really think it’s necessary for any perma-deaths to occur tomorrow). that said, i think toward the end of the smp storyline, or at least once it’s hit a steady storyline or has been around for long enough, it might be really poetic for certain things to come to an end with clingyduo dying together - it ties up the first arc of the dream smp, how everything began, and now how everything ends (this is how the world ends, indeed). also, tommy kept bringing up the fact that he and tubbo are on their final canon lives, and while i think this is mostly just a “bait the audience to subvert expectations at the last moment” move (as happened today kind of with tommy joining tubbo’s side), it’s interesting to hear that particular half of clingyduo contemplating his own mortality.
i think there’s a pretty low chance of niki joining dream and techno, despite my wishful thinking because i think she’d be a great asset to those two in making the l’manberg side falter emotionally and because she’s excellent at organising her thoughts and presenting a really solid argument, something that both dream and techno are just kinda okay at. we saw from niki’s argument that she has torn loyalties - plenty of characters do, but she’s pretty unique in that neither of the reasons she’s fighting for line up that much with techno and dream (i also like that niki’s the one who comes out and says outright that her loyalties are torn because she doesn’t like tommy). she clearly makes the distinction between fighting with tommy and fighting for l’manberg - she’s fighting for l’manberg - and for her, l’manberg outweighs all else. that’s the reason why she’s fighting on tommy’s side - because she knows that dream and techno will destroy what she’s fought so hard to keep whole and safe all this time, throughout the time she’s been on the smp. enemy of my enemy is my friend, all that.
pandora’s vault. MATE. it’s huge and we all know it. i think it’s possible that dream wants to throw everyone who opposes him into the prison - it’s large enough and secure enough to accommodate - but i don’t think he will, because current dream (and i want to make a distinction between current and early dream, because they’re so polar opposite that i’m inclined to believe something’s going on behind the scenes, probably associated with the book schlatt gave him, shoutout to dr3 @dr3amt3am3 on twitter for writing an excellent analysis of dream’s character) is motivated around causing chaos by using everyone. think eris from greek mythology when she tossed the golden apple between athena, hera, and aphrodite - he dips a toe in the water and all the fish fucking jump. he doesn’t need to make the mess because one little push and everyone makes the mess for him. so, no, i don’t think pandora’s vault will be used to imprison all those who oppose him. i know a lot of theories have been floating around about whether it’ll be tommy or phil or techno - those three seem to be the top contenders - and i think i’d like to plump for tommy, who’s probably the one dream wants to see suffer the most and is capable of causing the most damage - after all, look at him rallying the people of l’manberg with just a few sentences after he spent the last month condemned by them.
there was probably more but i have sbi brainrot now let’s move on
wherein i become an staunch techno apologist
i may be on tommy’s side, but i don’t agree with his reasoning or how he acted today. yeah, i said it. yes, he’s been deeply traumatised since election night, arguably even further back, what with being the sole witness as wilbur spiralled and watching his best friend get brutally murdered and being unable to stop techno from razing the nation he helped plant the seeds of to the ground and seeing wilbur get stabbed by their father and exile, gaslighting, panic attacks, this kid needs a goddamn break. but i vibe with techno’s ideals and actions a fair bit more than i do tommy’s. the fact of the matter is, technoblade has always been completely transparent about why he was doing things the way he did them and what they were for (with the exception of a few lies of omission to tommy about what he wanted to happen to l’manberg). from day one he’s made it clear that he’s an anarchist and that what he wants is to abolish the government, and he genuinely believes that anarchy is for the greater good. from techno’s perspective, he’s not wrong - every single problem on the server can be traced back to some form of government or political turmoil, from l’manberg’s fight for independence to this latest festival fiasco. furthermore, when you look at it from an unbiased perspective, techno’s only ever really been used and discarded. he hasn’t instigated any conflicts on his own; he usually gets roped in by whoever’s running the movement, used as a weapon/items cache, then immediately thrown aside as the winners of the conflict establish exactly the opposite of techno’s beliefs. i have a lot of things to say about techno’s role in the smp because i get all angy about it, but for something zingy to leave you with - have you thought about how tommy and wilbur said “we have the blade” - a weapon, not a person?
rip community house ;-;7
yeah no it was almost definitely dream. tommy gains nothing from griefing the community house to that extent, especially not in this political climate (i know the argument can be made that he didn’t have to grief george’s house either, but that doesn’t have the connotations that the griefing of the community house does. no matter how reckless tommy is, i don’t believe that he’s stupid). dream has more to gain at this point from destroying the community house than tommy does, and this shows the audience a lot about current!dream; we know it’s true, now, what he said when he threatened tommy: “i don’t care about anything, actually.” he doesn’t. he said himself that the community house is the most sacred thing on the server, the oldest build, the first and only thing to have remained since the genesis of the dream smp, and so for him to have been the one to destroy it where he’s been so careful to preserve things from the old days of the smp (his pet fish, the community house, spirit) - shocking, the difference between early!dream and current!dream. he’s actually willing to go to literally any lengths to take tommy down, even at the cost of things he once valued above all else. interesting stuff. ((shakes the smug green bastard /smp)) TELL ME WHATS IN THAT BOOK YOU FUNGAL PIECE OF SHIT
applauding the smp members
because WOW that acting was SO FUCKING GOOD special shoutout to niki and ranboo because they fucking NAILED IT
okay i’m gonna go lie down and think about african lit for finals now thanks for reading this incomprehensible babble

Also how about the knights reacting to the reader asking them out if it hasnt already been done?
You're not surprised when King Knight puts a hand on his chest and laughs. Since the very first moment you decided to ask him out, you were prepared for a tangent. You're lucky, so very lucky for he has been courted numerous times, yet has refused hundreds - NO - thousands of suitors. You? You're special. You should be honored, His Majesty has granted you the right to feast your eyes upon his naked form, which isn't any kind of  privilege - it's a royal, privilege, you're reminded for the fifth time in a row knowing damn well that he hasn't fucked anyone but his pillow.
Somehow, that little crazy alchemist known as Plague Knight was able to steal your heart. He's not even slightly aware, though - or at least he wasn't until you made up your mind and asked him out on a date. You were ready for any explosive concoction he could throw at you, or him eventually bursting out into wild laughter. There was no turning back. You expected the worst, yet you were met with an uncharacteristically quiet Plague Knight. He stared at you in silence, then turned his gaze to the ground while tapping his index fingers together, hiding his face under his hood. You swore you could feel him blush behind the mask (you were painfully aware of his flustered state). You were about to speak when he suddenly threw a vial at his feet, disappearing in a colorful cloud. Days later, you're still left without an answer... Oh wait, isn't that a Plague Minion hurriedly making his way to you?
You're determined to seduce the bounty hunter with nothing but wits and overbearing riches. You've made a habit of safely infiltrating the Iron Whale without running the risk of losing your limbs to any of the hostile sea life or crew member. Gold has been your greatest ally. The first few times you came in empty-handed, you were unceremoniously kicked off the ship. When you started bringing gold, Treasure Knight seemed to tolerate your presence. Things haven’t changed on bit. However, he appears completely uninterested in you - he has his eyes locked on the gold, his hands typing away, counting his growing riches. Maybe... just maybe... you could break into his vault, staple gold coins to your body and lay down in the sexiest pose you can muster... just to seduce the sea hunk.
Specter Knight constantly tells himself he should have never left the Tower to look for knights, as he accidentally bumped into you on his way out - and boy, you have never left him alone from that day on. He doesn't know what went through your head, a huge part of him doesn't want to know, but he always remains baffled at your attempts to catch his attention. This time, you have decided to sneak into his lair, routing every single boneclang sent after you. Even the Super Skeletons are scared of you now, for you have faced the mightiest of them with a fierceness that ensured your immediate victory. All of this... to finally get to him. He is already waiting for your arrival, scythe in hand, ready to engage in combat when you finally show up, ready to... ask him out. Yes. You have mustered up all of your strength and recklessness only to ask the Lord of the undead on a date, to his utter surprise.
Warriors are a common sight. They roam the world fighting for honor, justice and other such stereotypical ideals. You're well aware of Polar Knight’s tender side, you have caught wind of it while spying on him and his Spinwolves, a morally questionable, but understandable, activity. He must want you to deck him so hard, you think as you watch a Spinwolf nearly tear through his arm. You're surprised they haven't killed each other by now, proof of his strength (and that of the Spinwolf's ability to dodge giant snow shovels). Yes, you know how to gain his favor! You must buy a bigger shovel and train! That's the only way, no other options exist! You find yourself with a broken arm trying to mask your pain with smooth words and eyebrow wiggles. He doesn't fall for it due to his extreme intelligence and the ice cubes frozen to your eyelids. He more or less drags you away to what you assume to be your impending doom, patches you up, and silently hmphs, a clear sign of mercy. When you offhandedly remark that you'll never manage to go one a date with him at this rate, he utters these words: "You already have." Your frosty eyelids fuse to your cheeks
Most may wonder how you have ended up crushing on the tiny engineer, as he almost never leaves his crafting table. Your chance encounter with him may be the product of divine intervention. Still, you can't help but feel the need to ask the little man on a date. You already know where to find him, which is already a good starting point. You sneak into the Clockwork Tower, admiring the incredible works of engineering that have brought the place to life. You find Tinker Knight working on a project, he's totally focused on his work as you expected. You're free to take a seat and watch him as he fixes gears and links cables. Finally you see him sit back and sigh out of relief, and it's right then that he notices you. He would have jumped back and thrown a wrench at you, if the sparkle in your eyes and the praise you started giving him didn't stop him. You also ask him on a date between one word and another, a manipulative move, but somewhat romantic... you hope. You can hear the gears turning in his sleep deprived brain. He’s currently a little too confused and taken aback to process your words correctly - having spent time with him in his room is already a win for you, anyway. Soon, you’ll get to fuck him on his giant robot.
You would describe yourself as a responsible person, you muse after your near death experience. You're familiar with the Flying Machine, it's crew and their rowdy captain. You're fond of them, especially Propeller Knight. Your eyes have caught sight of his expert acrobatics many times, it's no surprise you wish to copy those very same techniques, except, you want to outmaneuver him. If one wants to date another, then they must assert dominance through theatrical skills. You're sure of it, you have read that in a biology book, only the melodramatic can breed. Your plan, rather obtusely, fails. You attempted to backflip from the upper deck of the ship to ridge of the lowest platform, which almost led to your demise. Thankfully, Propeller was there to catch you and managed to later brush off your panicked attempts to drag him down with you. So here you sit, drinking water with a blanket over your shaking body, Propeller calmly talking to you, holding the very expensive glass to your lips as your trembling hands attempt to hold it still.
You're aware of Mole Knight's dedication to his work and you greatly admire him for it. You also happen to share the same interest that keeps the ardent Knight focused on digging. Perhaps you’re less of a history buff and artifact enthusiast than he is, but you're not letting this put you down. Mole Knight seems to be quite interested in the history of the Ancient Mole civilization - because of his armor... you suppose? or maybe the armor is a consequence of it? Anyhow, you happen to have found half of a coin belonging to that era. Although, a bit of volcanic stone is attached to the item (you hope he won't mind). You gift the tiny object to the knight, watch him literally flare up and jump around like you had just given candy to a kid, then drag you to his collection and start rambling on about his discoveries and how happy he is to have found someone who shares his interest. You might have not seen it coming, but you're going on a date with him at his personal museum and you couldn't be prouder.
There is only one way to win the edgy, Hot-Topic fucker's heart. You push him against the wall, force his hands over his head, put your index under his chin and look him straight in the fucking eye like you want to tear his ass inside out. His red spandex cannot hide the rock hard boner. He has become your personal bitch.
You bow before the Troupple King and ask for ichor. You wink, specifying what kind of ichor you require. He raises his eyebrows up to the sky: "I shall respect thy wish for you have been kind towards my troupples." Holy shit, you're going to fuck a fish tonight
~Mod Propeller and -Mod Tinker

This is something i thought of a few days ago, but fo4 companions reacting to the sole survivor taking off their prosthetic leg/arm and hitting someone ( maybe one of the othet companions lol) with it after being annoying.
I wrote a few of these! Feel free to message me if you’d like other companions!
Deacon-
“All I’m saying is that if Aliens exist- then why is it so hard to believe there are microscopic robots in all of our food?”
“Ok- Tom- that’s a lot to unpack,” Tinker Tom was in one of his rants again that he would go into while everyone was trying to sleep. However, his ramblings normally got everyone up and talking. Sole always tried to argue with him, which was hilarious to Deacon. “First of all, Aliens aren’t real.”
“Hey now- that ain’t true!” Tom interrupted them, “I saw that UFO the other day!”
“And we’re supposed to believe in everything you see?” Glory takes Sole’s side, lifting her brow at Tom.
“Hey, if the man says he saw a UFO- then who are we to say he didn’t! I believe ya, Tinker.” Deacon scooted from his mattress to Tom’s, patting his back. He loved to side with Tom in these fights- mostly because he reveled in the chance to tease Sole.
“Thanks, Deeks, at least you know the truth.” Tom puts his arm around Deacon, glaring at the other, less believing crew. 
“Whatever, ok, Second of all, how did you go from Aliens to microscopic robots?” Sole ignores the idiots arm-in-arm in front of them and brings up their second point.
“That’s obvious! The Aliens make the tiny robots!” Deacon declares in a dramatic voice, and Tom gasps.
“Do you think so? Maybe that’s why they’re flying over the earth- they’ve been experimenting on us!” Tom sounded like he was on the cusp of revelation- and Glory groaned.
“Come on, Tom, you can’t be serious.”
“I’m sorry that you can’t open your mind to the possibilities, Glory. I’m just trying to be safe!” Tom takes a condescending tone, and Deacon anticipates a shitshow.
“Oh, and being safe means being an idiot?” Glory snaps, and Deacon ‘ooh’s.
“Being safe means suspecting everything! And you don’t suspect enough!” Tom spits back.
“I don’t, do I? Well, Tom, I ‘suspect’ you’re about to get your ass whooped-” Glory starts getting up, and Sole grabs her arm.
“Wait, beat him with this-” Sole grabs at their hip, feeling for something.
“You’re not actually gonna beat me up, Glory-” Tom begins to nervously ask, Deacon recoiling from his friend to prevent suffering the same fate. He’s interrupted by a loud POP.
“WhAT THE FUCK-” Glory yells, jumping back from Sole. Sole then lifts their whole leg into the air.
“Get ‘em with this!” Sole offers the leg over to Glory, and she backs up.
“Woah, Woah- hold on, you can’t just hand your leg over to someone!”
“Yeah, you need to take them to dinner first- at least.” Deacon quips, making Sole laugh. He’s known about Sole’s prosthetic leg for some time and especially knows their tendency to use it as a disciplinary weapon. He’s just glad he’s not the one to receive their calf of wrath at the moment.
“What, do you not know about my leg, Glory?” Sole gestures with the leg while talking, “Damn, I knew I forgot to tell someone. Well, you can still use it to beat up Tom. Here.” They continue to hold the leg to Glory.
Glory thinks for a moment, still trying to take in what had happened. Then she nods. “Ah, fuck it, gimme the leg.” She takes the leg from Sole and turns with a vicious look towards Tom. “I’ll show you just how safe you are-”
Deacon learned a lesson that night. Don’t give a prosthetic limb to Glory when she’s angry. Also, don’t wake Desdemona up in the middle of the night. Both things produce terrible, terrible consequences.
Nick Valentine-
It ended up being a late night in the office and Nick said he’d make up for it by buying drinks for Ellie and Sole. The trio went to the Dugout inn, preceding to the bar.
“Hello, Detectives! What will I be getting for you?” Vadim greeted them in the same, loud way he always did. Nick began to fish the money out of his trench coat pocket.
“Hi, Vadim. It’s gonna be a round for these two. My treat.” Nick pulled out his caps, sliding them across the bar to Vadim.
“Oh, I see…cruising, huh, Valentine?” Vadim graciously took the money, chuckling to himself.
“Excuse me?” What is that supposed to mean? Nick sure didn’t know, but based on the way they scoffed- Sole did. Ellie started giggling as well.
“Oh, come on, Nick…I always knew you were a smooth operator. But shouldn’t you be keeping it professional with these two?” Vadim laughed, turning to grab their beers. Nick thinks he was starting to understand.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Bobrov.” Nick’s internal fans were working in overdrive to keep him cool, and Ellie kept laughing at his sake.
“Oh-hoh, that’s how it is! Well, good luck in your-” Vadim hoots, turning to put the beers on the counter. His remark is cut off by Sole.
“Alright, that’s enough of that.” Sole suddenly tears their right arm off, whacking Vadim on the back of the head.
Wait. They what.
Ellie squeals, jumping and standing back from the now armless Sole. It takes her and Nick one more second to register the straps and cords coming out of the detached arm.
“You have a fake arm??” Ellie declares, more in relief than anything else.
“You didn’t know?” Sole seems surprised just the same as they were.
“How would we have found out?” Nick defends, staring at them in confusion. He still wasn’t quite sure what had happened, 
“That’s one way to shut him up.” Yedim chimes up, interrupting their bickering, and making Vadim laugh.
“Yes, yes, sorry for teasing you guys! Enjoy your drinks!” Vadim apologizes and pushing the beers over to the three. Sole puts their arm back on, and they and Ellie grab the drinks.
“Thank you, Vadim. And sorry about the arm.” Sole apologizes, and they walk to find their seats.
“Well, kid, good to know you’re armed at all times.” Nick quips, watching the anguish wash over Sole and Ellie’s faces.
“Oh god- was that a pun? I thought you were better than that, Nick.” Sole cringes and Nick grins victoriously.
“Okay, now you have to tell us what happened…” Ellie nudges Sole, ignoring Nick’s dad jokes.
“Fine, I lost it when…”
Paladin Danse- 
“No wayyy!” Haylen shoves sole on the shoulder with her bottle hand, nudging them gently as they put their hands up in defense.
“I swear! I was out of the vault for like, less than an hour and already killing deathclaws!” Sole tries to convince their crowd, shrugging with their beer.
Sole and few other brotherhood members were drinking together on the lower levels of the prydwen, something Danse was completely unaccustomed to. He wasn’t one to do anything out of protocol and wasn’t interested in activities that could lead to said behavior. But Sole, the ever-inviting harpy they could be, convinced him the initiates would benefit from seeing a Paladin more relaxed. “Show them you’re a person like the rest of us,” they said. Sure.
“That would explain your pre-existing combat prowess, charging into that ghoul onslaught when we met.” Danse joins the conversation, taking a sip of his Gwinnett Ale. Everyone looks to him quickly, surprise in the initiate’s eyes. True, he hasn’t spoken at all yet, but they don’t need to treat it like a big deal. Danse tucked his head down a bit.
“Would you call that ‘prowess’ or ‘reckless abandon’?” Rhys, charming as always, chimes up before Sole could accept the compliment. He was always thorny towards newcomers, but he seemed especially so to this pre-war Vault dweller. Danse has handled in-team conflicts before, but when they involved Rhys, it was always more complicated.
“I would call it bravery.” Haylen says, glaring a moment at Rhys and then smiling back at Sole. She was always the compassionate one.
“What’s so brave about almost killing yourself?” Rhys continues to bicker, waving his beer in the air.
“Killing myself? I think I was doing most of the killing there!” Sole teases, always loving to mess with Rhys. Danse wishes they wouldn’t.
“Oh really? I think you ought to remember your place here.” Rhys frowned.
“Should I? Who got the instant promotion? Who’s working directly with the Elder to defeat the institute?” Sole continues to poke his buttons, making the initiates watching “ooh”.
“That’s it-” Rhys gets to his feet, and then does Sole.
“Wait a minute, Soldiers,” Danse quickly hops to his feet to stop the fight, but is interrupted by Sole swiftly yanking their arm off and wielding it like a weapon.
Haylen doesn’t hesitate to scream at the sight, and even Rhys seems spooked.
“What?? Y’all didn’t know I have a fake arm?” Sole reacts with just as much surprise, waving the arm around like it was nothing.
“We had no idea, Soldier, I-I-” Danse awkwardly stares.
“Well, I can tell you how I lost it if Rhys will just shut his mouth.” Sole glares and Rhys does the same.
“Settle down you two.” Danse crosses his arms and gets them to back down, going back to their seated positions. “So, tell us about the arm.”
“Okay, so way back before the war….”
X6-88- 
X6 would probably walk in on Sole knocking one of the institute directors on the head with their prosthetic arm and instantly become over-interested. He’d start inquiring about the technical abilities of their prosthetic, what weapons it was equipped with, how it could be improved.
“It doesn’t really have any abilities, other than functioning as an arm,” Sole sheepishly responded to the questions, embarrassed by the sudden attention.
“That doesn’t do at all, Sir/M’am. You should see the Robotics branch to get an upgrade. The face of the Institute deserves the best limb enhancers.” And so, through X6’s urging, Sole would end up with a wicked arm. Robotics would hook them up with like…inspector gadget style tricks all in the prosthetic. They’d honestly look part synth, which shortly became Sole’s new favorite thing to trick wastelanders into thinking. Thanks, X6!

U know how ppl were able to make their own BL1 maps and with a bit of playing around u could use them urself. I'm gonna do that but with Bl3 but I'm gonna make junpai-7. Not actually, because it's probably not technically possible, but I will threaten it because give me water planet.
Here's the deal
I have already designed the eridian compass which will be the focus of the dlc and I plan to design the vault n monster both of which have been discussed previously on dis blog so I won't go in depth bc I have other things I wanna ramble abt.
Cutlord Karuu is gonna be the main villain. The Driver will control some misc fodder enemies as well before she eventually turns to the Raiders side and Karuu takes over all the villain bits. Because I love my vampire pirate queen (because gearbox looooves to name drop but not give them any character!!!) and I'd die for her, actually.
Also Clay makes a return bc I already decided his and Zane's smuggling job on Junpai-7 was related to the compass and Cutlord Karuu, so he'd have insight and potentially be the reason the VHs go to Junpai in the first place. And I love clay because he's one of the best new characters imo. Originally the VHs were going to go because Hammerlock wanted to finish a hunt he had started there (Commander lily shows he did go there) but I figured he already had his dlc this game and the last game that also featured a whole hunt thing soooo. Bring back Clay instead because I love his voice and I wanna learn more about the Vault shaped scar on his forearm.
The maps will be a mix of seaside towns (like guns love and tentacles- also a lot have abandoned Dahl structures since Hector mentions his unit visiting Junpai-7 in Commander lily) but notably they don't fish even tho the planet is 80-90% water (also there are a lot of wanted posters, and some are of a younger Zane and Clay and Karuu), a big pirate ship hub on the water that has the quick change ammo dump zeds meds etc and captain Scarlett hanging out for shits and giggles, jungles to hike through, a moon pool for Eridian lore, beaches + coves, and underwater parts for the Vault (not truly underwater bc swimming mechanics hard), imagine forcefields holding the water back kinda like that one scene in Pirates of the Caribbean except the water is over the top, too, and everything is bioluminescent and the brightest light is from the Eridian markings, crystals, and any entities glowing in the dark because it's pretty and I want it and if we're going to have magic glowing powers and glowing crystals we NEED a dark area for them to truly SHINE
Also yes there's a moon pool on junpai-7 because H2o is cool and it makes u have big dick energy and I wanted to work on my Driver/Eridian experimentation lore and I figured the moon pool should be her main base of operations and part of the reason the townspeople don't move beyond their coastal towns and into the jungle (because everyone who goes there comes back Different)
Also because the moons on Junpai-7 are so feared, they have the Sun Festival (mentioned by digby v in handsome jackpot). I'd like it a lot if the VHs showed up during one, during like a solace or smth where the sun is out for a full day and then as the dlc progresses they finally learn why the people of junpai-7 fear the night (hellllloooo Driver)
So anyway the dlc's main story would focus on finding the Eridian compass and opening the Vault before Cutlord Karuu does- as most borderlands themed content tends to go. I prefer it that way because it makes you be more creative with it... Like they say 'judge not the premise but how it is executed' or something n sometimes they do it really well n sometimes they... Don't. The side story is about the Driver and the mystery of what's going on under the surface (literally!!! Hahahaha) of Junpai-7
Clay is the main helper for Cutlord Karuu and the compass
Tannis is the main helper for the Driver and Eridian lore
Captain Scarlett is there on the main base of operations ship because if we're having another pirate dlc she better fucking be there. I just personally don't want her to be the 'bad guy' this time around, I wanna go for something new. She'll probably be missing from the hub with a few random decorations missing/'replaced' by the end of the story or after a side mission she sends us on. Because it'd be funny and fit with her character. Some electronic thing just has an 'out of order' sign taped to it because she stole all the valuable insides and dipped
Also if H2o Au is canon then I need to come up with a way for the luneshine to not have any effect on Zane during the dlc or else his voice lines are going to be EXTRA entertaining I'm sure Tannis can help somehow if we let her study the moon pool lmao

And I’ll be your Honey -Eugene x reader (Animal crossing: New Horizons)
My very first animal crossing fic, let alone my very first character x reader fic 👀 I dont know how long this will be, but I already have the second chapter started hehe. I hope you enjoy!
...
Your day starts off with the usual morning announcements, if you could even call them that. Isabelle usually rambled on about her hobbies, or about the TV show that was on last night instead of reporting actual news. You enjoyed listening to her talk though, She's always so busy being cooped up in that resident services building. It seems like the announcements are the only way she can actually express herself for a bit.
Your house was rather close to the resident services building, so you could hear the announcements loud and clear from your bed. You might have to talk about moving with Tom nook, countless times the loud speaker has woken you up, but then again listening to Isabelle made you smile, but not when it startled you out of your deep slumber.
The sunshine dripped into your room, casting beams of light onto the pictures you owned of your friends. You sat up sluggishly, the covers falling from your shoulders and revealing your skin to the cold air. You felt a shiver shoot down your spine, and goosebumps emerge on your skin, So you quickly covered yourself again. The summer heat was killer outside, so you kept it at a solid 68 degrees inside. You laid there curled up in your blankets, trying to get warm. After a few minutes of burrowing like a hamster, you sat up holding the blankets close to your body. It dawns on you that you should check the time, so you pull out your phone. It’s noon, and you’re slapping yourself mentally because you slept in so late. The day was still young, but you just like the feeling of getting up early.
You stared off into the distance as you pondered about what you could do today. Perhaps you would finally work on getting bells, after all you’re impatient and would rather spend all your bells on a new bridge rather than waiting for donations. Or maybe, you’d go harass your neighbors to hang out. That sounds more enjoyable than slaving over a workbench, crafting the hot item that was selling for double that day. You made up your mind and stood up, grabbing some clothes, waking to the bathroom. As soon as you got to your sink, You received a text from a certain koala.
——————
Hey (y/n)! Today it’s gonna be another day in paradise, meaning it’s gonna be nice out. We should hang out, and enjoy the weather together..!
You smiled down at your phone, and giggled. It Seems like Eugene already had plans for hanging out with you today, which sent a surge of excitement down to your stomach, giving you butterflies. Never before have you had someone who would put as much effort into hanging out with you than Eugene. For having such a “cool” persona, he was quite the sweetheart.
———————
Okay!! lemme get ready. Where are we meeting at?
How does the cherry tree by the river sound? We can pick some cherries and share em.
Okay, sounds good!!! I’ll be there shortly :)
Sick, see you then!!
———————
You rush out the door, and the outside world welcomes you with a breeze, followed by warm rays from the sun. You inhale the fresh air of the island, and exhale peacefully.
When you were younger, you’d always visit an island and go on tours there, but instead of taking a plane you took a small boat. Though, You’d never expect to be in charge of making a vacant island into a tourist attraction. So far, your island was rated four stars out of five, you were doing a damn good job of making the island enjoyable. All the residents seemed pleased as well.
You pulled out your phone and checked the map. You knew where the tree was, but you wanted the fastest route. You gazed upon the map for a second, and came up with a route that would take you directly there. And with that, you rushed off, pulling out your vaulting pole. As you casually jogged along the stone streets, the background changed into a large forested area, filled with your island’s native fruit. You ran alongside the river, startling the fish that were near the river bank. Since you scared all the fish away, a certain cranky wolf who was fishing had a bone to pick with you, but before they could catch you, you were gone.
As you neared, you could see Eugene standing up against the cherry tree, casually gazing upon the nearby rose garden. Eugene always had a way of looking attractive, even when it wasn’t intentional. As you sprinted towards him, Eugene got a glance of you and perked up, smiling in your direction. Seeing him look so happy made your chest swell up. You walked faster, beaming with eagerness to talk to him.
“It’s about time you showed up, yeah buddy.” The koala joked, smirking at you. You chuckled, and punched his shoulder gently.
“I had to pick out an outfit that looked good.” You replied, leaning up against the tree as well. You took a moment to catch your breath before shaking the tree, and collecting the cherries.
“After all, i can’t hang out with such a fashion icon such as yourself looking like a bum.” You grinned, popping a cherry into your mouth. You let yourself fall back onto the cherry tree, and relaxed.
Eugene chuckled, and glanced at you through his shades. You could never tell where he was looking, his sun glasses were tinted so darkly. But he had to hide those small peepers somehow. For a brief moment there was a pause, it was just you two staring at each other. Eugene really enjoyed talking to you, and in general just being around you. You felt the same exact way, what wasn’t there to love about him? Though half the time, you were afraid you’d do something uncool and mess up what you have with him. Ironically, he had the same fear. He wanted to impress you, so he did everything in his power to do so. In all honesty, he just liked doing nice things for you. seeing you happy made him feel peaceful. In the moment, it was just you two. He didn’t care about the gossip that was whispered about him, or the fact that someone pissed him off earlier that day. All his stress melted away with every minute you two were together.
“Ehh, I dunno doll, Compared to you I’m the bum. You’re always rocking some radical fit. Yeah buddy.” Eugene replied, taking a cherry from your hand and popping it into his mouth. After a few seconds of chewing, he turned his head and spit out the pit into the grass.
“You know, apples are good, but nothin beats fresh cherries. I’m glad you plucked some from your last trip, yeah buddy!” He exclaimed, grinning.
You chuckle, handing him the last cherry. Casually you shoved your hands into your pockets as you looked up to the sky.
“They really do hit the spot, eh?” You reply, gazing up at the clouds that passed overhead. “Hm, I still prefer apples tho.”
Eugene nodded his head. The koala pushed himself off the tree, took a few steps, and stood in front of you. He wasn’t very tall, but he still had some height on you. It was weird having a koala bear being taller than you, all the other ones you knew were either shorter, or the same height.
“Hey, I have an idea. Let’s uh, have a jam session at my place? Yeah buddy.” The koala suggested, hoping you’d agree.
a sudden surge of excitement rushed through you, and you instantly agreed. Usually this meant that Eugene would play his guitar for you, or one of his other instruments.
“Pshh, so much for enjoying the nice weather though.” You laugh, standing up straight.
“Well, we can still enjoy the weather from inside. That’s why we have windows!” Eugene smiled, motioning for you to lead the way to his house. Your smile grew wider as you rolled your eyes at his corny remark. Together you walked to his house, talking about who’s going to play their playlist first.
——————-
Forward to a few hours, and you guys are jamming out to some rock music, Specifically K.K. Rock. You watched as Eugene followed the song on his guitar, absolutely killing it. You relaxed on the couch with him, enjoying the moment.
“Where did you learn to play that so well?” You asked, in awe. You knew Eugene could play Instruments well, but you rarely got a personal show like this.
Eugene grew tense, and froze up.
“Well uh, I was in a band once. We were playing at house shows mostly, you know really underground type of stuff. We had a dramatic break up and everything, but me and the boys are still cool with each other, yeah buddy.” Eugene replied, not taking his eyes off of his guitar.
The song came to an end, but he continued to play. The melody slowly changed, becoming softer. You sat there and listened, staring up at the ceiling, totally being engulfed by the music. Nothing relaxed you more than listening to Eugene play, and he really appreciated that you enjoyed it so much. After all, what’s a musician without an audience?
“Huh, interesting...What position were you?” You asked, looking over at him. You were trying to make conversation, but you found it rather hard. You didn’t know the technical terms for the different positions in a band.
“It varied, I was either the lead singer or on the guitar when the main guy wasn’t able to play. Of course either way I killed my part.” He replied boldly, quickly pulling a cool pose next to you.
“Damn, it seems like you were really livin back then.” You said smiling, carefully watching him play.
He concluded his song, and set his guitar down. “Hey, you’re makin it seem like I’m some kinda retired old guy. I’m still the fresh and handsome koala I was back then!” he laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.
“I mean yeah I was livin, but I prefer the island life. I dunno, it’s more relaxing and chill, and it’s even better that you’re here.” He said, smirking at you. You blushed, and looked away Grinning. Eugene always had a knack for breaking your cool and collected attitude, and he enjoyed seeing the more soft and easily flustered side of you. Though, he was the same way. He could be really cool and slick, but if you got close enough with him, he was the biggest softie.
You let out a content sigh, and looked back at him. He was staring at you, his cheeks were colored a soft pink. It seemed like now was the perfect time to hit him with a flirty remark, a taste of his own medicine if you will. You smirk, and open your mouth.
“Hey, if you keep staring I’ll have to..” you freeze up, and your mind goes blank. Oh no, you couldn't come up with a good line. You’ve sent yourself to the embarrassment realm. Eugene quirks an eye brow, and smirks, you already knows he’s gonna say something that’s gonna end your whole career, and make you die of embarrassment.
“Oh? Whatcha gonna do, hotshot?” Eugene spoke smoothly, leaning in close to you. You could feel your face get really hot, but you were frozen in place. Oh god, his tone of voice killed you. You hated how smug he was, and how he knew what made you flustered. You shook your head, and laughed. “I don’t know, maybe I’ll fight you, and really give you something to stare at.” You sheepishly laughed, regretting even trying to be a flirt like Eugene.
“Psh, I’ll have you know I’ve starred in a lot of movies about fighting, so I know a couple of moves that would send you flyin, Yeah buddy.” He said standing up, and stretching.
“I mean..I’d send you flyin’, and I’d catch you with open arms. Smooth style baby!” Eugene said, grinning and striking a prideful pose.
You leaned back into the couch, and quickly replied with; “The only thing smooth here is your Brain!”
“Hey, a smooth brain to go with my smooth style; a match made in heaven, yeah buddy!”

13, 30 and 39 for the oc asks please
13. What do they do for fun?
Eileen being the workaholic dumbass she is thinks working is fun. It gives her a sense of being in control when everything else around her is pretty much a mess and she likes being productive. Things she actually does for fun include : talking and debating about books with Rowan, Going fishing at the lake near her uncle’s house in the summer, kicking Diego’s ass in duels, caring and learning about magical creatures, singing when she thinks nobody is around, hanging out with friends at the three broomsticks and painting with Badeea and Barnaby.
30. When frightened, will they resort to “fight” or “flight”?
Fight. Her rage and need to protect those around her almost always overpower her fear. Jae, Tulip and Tonks once tried to spook her for Halloween and she ended up punching Tonks in the face and she ended up in the hospital wing ( she’s super embarrassed about this ).
39. What does their happily ever after look like?
I’m gonna end up rambling about what I have planned for Eileen’s story, specifically my version of the cursed vaults for some context.
In my version of the story, you don’t just try to find the location of the vaults with the little clues provided and end up fighting whatever the hell is guarding it, no. The vaults are sentient to an extent and play mind games or form illusions to test whether or not you’re actually worthy of whatever is in them. Each one of these tests are unique and have a certain theme to them. For example, when Eileen, Bill, Tulip and Barnaby enter the Vault of Fear, they black out and find themselves separated and trapped in their own worst fears ( Bill watching his family being slaughtered by death eaters and utterly helpless to run to their aid, Eileen hunted down by her own family, Barnaby with the dark mark on his arm with his family surrounding him, and Tulip all alone with Merula’s voice taunting and mocking her from all directions ). Tulip is the first one to realize what is happening and conquers her fear of not being worthy of anyone’s friendship and goes to find  the others and helps them to conquer their own fears before finally facing the Voldemort boggarts. Or in the buried vault where the team find themselves trapped in a portrait, a picture perfect fantasy that they want so badly to be real but it’s not, it’s just a pretty picture they painted in their heads. I don’t have any ideas for the other vaults but I do know that I want the Sunken Vault to be about facing trauma and grief so it all comes full circle. 
When the vaults are over and she graduates Hogwarts, Eileen and Jacob join The Hunters of Artemis to hunt down the rest of R’s members and to be forgiven for the disrespect and betrayal they showed towards the family name. When her term of 5 years ends, she ends up traveling the world with Will Scarborough ( who belongs to @cursebreakerfarrier ) and a few friends, desperately trying to finally move on from the vaults and Rakepick. The vaults eventually become a memory but Eileen definitely never fully healed from the experience. Eileen’s ‘ Happily ever After ‘ is her and Will with their 4 kids, on the Scarborough family estate. Eileen a successful magizoologist and Ex Hit-witch and her husband, a renowned Hit-wizard, the vaults behind them and doing their best to move forward.
I’m sorry i rambled about my ideas for the story,I hope these answers were satisfactory~
The character asks r still open btw!!
