#where’s my shrimp plushie

[yuri-is-online]

Azul totally has an octopus and shrimp plush that he makes kiss.

Who? How? Usually when I get an ask I know where it comes from (or why anyway) but this time I just looked at my phone and got hit by a bus. But you know what annon? You are so right, he totally does.

notes: they/them used for Yuu, Azul engages in some SSS tier simping (shrimping?), once again this is a joke but I am not taking cold meds this time! Please look at my masterlist for more serious works.

Plush toys do not exist in the ocean, the concept of them was something Azul had been made aware of in his research and made note of in land training camp. But of course, as was the case with more things than he would ever admit to outside of a court order, Azul failed to grasp just how ubiquitous and popular plushies were. He had even been gifted an octopus plush as a prize during one of the first Board Game Club events he attended, something he had intended to brush off as childish until he saw the way his club mates reacted, even if he didn't understand why himself the little guy was clearly an enviable prize. A claim made less believable with how he hadn't let Floyd squeeze it, or Jade poke at it, and he certainly had not agreed to give it to Idia no matter how much he had begged.

The shrimp plush had been a... strategic purchase. No really, if anyone asked he had a perfectly reasonable explanation for why he had bought this specific plush that he had to go out of his way to find, order, and watch out for to make sure that Jade didn't bring it to him with the rest of his mail. The Mostro Lounge was always going to expand to have a merch store, and since plush toys were so popular with humans it made sense to have some! He just needed to ensure this particular brand was of a high enough quality to commission-

No one was going to buy that excuse. All the more reason to keep this little indulgence a secret, even if the seller had been confused by his request for discreet packaging.

"It's just a plush sir?" To them maybe, to him this is a painful sign that he should just say something already but he needs to plan for that and this should help. The two plushes certainly look natural enough together, Azul has seen pictures of some beds that have a bunch of little guys set up on them and he's beginning to see the appeal. Maybe he should get two eels? Smaller than the shrimp, obviously, it's the only way the real ones will ever let him live it down. But by thinking that he is sort of acknowledging who the little shrimp is supposed to represent. And they're sitting next to him in his bed.

He takes back his previous thought, Azul has no idea how humans sleep with things that remind them of the objects of their affections, it's filling his mind with situations.  He props himself up against the headboard, holding both plushies close to his face so he can see them without his glasses.

“I was so lonely.” Azul is incapable of picturing him otherwise.  “I really missed you.”  He sniffles, and the little shrimp jumps to comfort him.

“I missed you too!”  The little shrimp is friends with the octopus?  Azul has no idea when that happened he just got them today-  “Let’s never be apart again ok?”

“Do you really mean that?”  The little octopus tentatively reaches out one of his stubby tentacles towards the shrimp, who takes it happily.  “I don’t want to let you go…”

“You don’t have to.” comforts the little shrimp. “We can get married and do our laundry and taxes together forever and you won’t ever have to be lonely ever again.” 

And that is apparently when Azul decides to come back to his senses, just as he is halfway through humming a wedding march and making the plushies kiss.  He remembers himself enough to keep them from dropping to the floor, but they still fall to his side as he collapses back onto his pillows redder than a boiled lobster.

Maybe he should just… give the little shrimp over to Yuu.  And make some actual progress on that laundry and taxes bit.

◇ a/n ◇ zhongli is ngl acting like an asian mom in this and i am not sorry. i need him in my life bc i hate fishbone (the number of times i've had a fishbone stuck in my throat- you don't want to know. let's just say pressing down my gag reflex is one of my talents now) and peeling shrimps.

𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 ⬙ 𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡

tries to be as quiet as possible as he shuffles around the house while you’re asleep.

peels fruits for you.

will care for your hair for you (brushes / applies oil / braids)

debones any sort of meat-with-bone/shell dishes, including fishes and crustaceans for you (this might be the ultimate expression of zhongli’s love considering how much he hates the smell of seafood).

will not hesitate to spoonfeed you when your hands are occupied or if you’re forgetting to eat.

“zhongli do you know where did i put my shawl-” “second drawer, right side.” “and my dragon-printed socks-” “-is in the sock box on the third drawer, you probably missed it.”

will threaten people who wronged you with a sandal in his hands “i will have order!”

headpat machine - you want headpats? you’re getting headpats. you don’t want headpats? you’re getting a kiss on top of your head…… and a headpat <3

will fall into the habit of carrying tissues and hair ties and the everyday essential items which you often use.

slips his credit card into your wallet before you go out.

keeps your fridge stocked with groceries and pantry full of your favorite snacks (either by doing the shopping himself or getting them delivered to your doorstep when he can’t be around)

lets you pet the dogs you encounter on your walks first. also alerts you when there’s a cute dog in sight.

owns a special phone with the best camera in the market, just for the sake of taking your selfies.

headpat machine 2.0 - you don't want headpats? too bad you’re getting one! you want headpats? beg for it first, darling <3

buys you matching accessories. wears them everywhere and every time he’s out.

always walks on the side closer to the road. also holds your hand when crossing the street (and pretends he 'forgot' to release it afterward)

always lingers around you in social settings. not just because of his social anxiety, but also just in case you need something, he wants to be there to help.

lets you pat his head (and enjoys it immensely), but will murder-glare any other person who tries to do so (read: venti, heizou).

is only able to fall asleep in either of these conditions: 1) he is completely alone, or 2) he’s not alone but you’re with him.

piles up pillows and blankets and plushies on your (or his) bed as a silent invitation to cuddle. you tease him by saying “are you inviting me to your nest, little bird?” and he blushes every single time. it’s very adorable. please give this boy his cuddles.

corrects the typos in your papers for you. crosschecks your citations and adds comments detailing how you should add or remove certain things. he accepts payments in kisses. or super spicy curry. he’s not picky, really.

will dust your bookshelves for you (is it because he loves you or because he loves books? ….. don’t ask).

will wordlessly lift you up to cross a big puddle on the road. you only get to be bridal-carried if you're lucky. otherwise, you're getting the sack of potatoes' treatment because he's a bastard.

tells you that you have x minutes left to do certain tasks. yes, he has your schedules memorized. yes, he will flick your forehead if you keep whining and procrastinating.

will gently pull your head to settle on his shoulder when you fall asleep on the bus.

“did you cut your hair? it’s five centimeters shorter.” “you trimmed your eyebrows?” “your lips look pale today. have you eaten lunch?”

cooks and cleans for you. his payment? your awed smile. if you tip him with kisses he’ll be over the moon.

sends you daily cute animal videos. mostly dogs. or cats. or him being silly with his adorable doggie taroumaru.

will mess up on purpose just to make you laugh on your bad days.

buys everything in twos because he always, always wants to share it with you.

squishes his cheek onto yours and nuzzles you to show affection. you think you see dog ears and dog tails whenever he does this, but it's just a trick of the light... right??

refrains from drinking at parties just so that when you do, he can take care of you properly and get you back home safely.

denies your kisses in public but pulls you for a kiss every five minutes behind closed doors.

links his pinky with you when walking together (but on his bad days, he would really appreciate it when you link your arms with him).

looks so scandalized when you flinch from his touch - because somehow he’s a superconductor and most of the time you feel zapped just from touching him. just tough it out and hug him if you don’t want to deal with sulky!mouchie.

will not hesitate to try and claw people’s eyes out when they made you upset.

fills up your water bottle for you.

uses the same laundry detergent / perfume as yours. claims that he does it so you “won’t complain about how your clothes smell weird” when you stay over. he just wants his clothes to smell more like you so he can pretend you’re hugging him when he misses you.

my tmnt iteration 🐢

yoshi aka splinter found the 4 turtles inside a crashed TCRI truck. the mutagen from broken canisters covered both him and the turtles mutating them. it is implied that when struck by the truck the blow killed yoshi but the mutagen restarted his heart and mended any injuries, reviving him. the turtles aren’t biologically sister as they are of different species and therefore from different clutches. as turtles they had anywhere between months and a day age difference but when mutated it translated into human years explaining the 2 year gap between mikey and leo/raph but the age is estimated and instead of birthday the turtles celebrate their mutation day. splinter eventually discovered an abandoned metro station that was never opened and decided to stay in there as their home. the station had a small cafe area and public restroom and thankfully hasn’t been cut from the city’s power and water grids. april met the turtles when they were 7 and she was 16, splinter left them in an alleyway while looking for food and supplies and april stumbled upon them. at first splinter was really freaked out when he saw april but when he realised she was friendly and didn’t mean no harm they got to know each other and sometimes april would come down to the lair to babysit the turtles while splinter was out. she eventually introduced the turtles to pizza when she brought a box with her and they fell in love with it.

the designs are mid show of sorts that are after the barn arc

leonardo: a bellinger turtle with leatherback sea turtle genes. the eldest and the most aquatic out of all the turtles. likes spending her time swimming in the flooded metro tunnel situated in the centre of their lair. she got a similar virus to what regular bellinger turtles have making her slowly lose her vision as she aged. that did not stop her as she learned to rely on her other sense and acquired a 6th sense of sorts to help her get around. her blindness doesn’t hinder her in combat and actually makes her more capable of moving around in the dark than her sisters but still she cannot see faces so instead she maps them out in her mind by touching them with her hands to memorise them. she has shell cell just like everyone else except it is modified to show in braille. in her free time she enjoys listening to music or audio books and if her sisters are around listening to tv while one of them describes the action on the screen. she has physical hatsune miku memorabilia like figures and plushies that she can touch. leo can still see in blurs of colour but no matter what donnie tried she couldnt help her vision. she is self conscious of the scars given to her by shredder and tries to cover them with a hood. while still agile and strong she has issues with her right knee and wears a knee brace. her element is the ocean waves

raphael: a red crowned turtle with cherryhead tortoise genes. she is the second eldest. she is the worst swimmer but makes up for it in physical strength. the piece of her plastron was cracked during an accident while they were small and the lore for the gold tooth is yet to be decided. the flame carving on her plastron was made by mikey. she is extremely protective of her sister and although gets jealous by assuming that leo is splinter’s favourite still loves her very much. has a tortoise named spike a small brine shrimp tank. she was the first to meet casey and thought back against her drunk father. her element is flame

donatello: a painted turtle with softshell turtle genes. she is the middle child and spends most of her time in her lab. she built the heat lamp above the sitting area where her and her sisters like to bask and relax after a long day. her shell was crushed by rocksteady and bebop but fortunately with leatherheads helped bring her back with a new metal carapace to replace her old on. sarcastic and cool headed, her personality resembling 87 raph. her love language is random niche gadgets. she is the next most aquatic after leo and sometimes joins leo for a swim. her element is lightning

michelangelo: the most creative out of all of them and has a lot of hobbies ranging between art and crafts to cooking and skateboarding. is the glue of the family with a spunky attitude and quick thinking. although the worst fighter out of her family she still can handle herself in a fight. has an orange tabby cat she named klunk that she found while looking for scraps at a junkyard. she can be a little absent minded but she is definitely not unintelligent and takes great offence to anyone babying her. her element is constellations

[thylacines-toybox]

do you have any good recommendations on where to get high quality aquatic animal plushies? specifically realistic ones/very big ones. I have a whale shark from the georgia aquarium and she's my favorite plush ever but i would love to find some other animals that are similar (especially manta rays)

thank you in advance!

I'm actually a bit lacking in aquatic creatures myself! Aquariums would be the main place I can think of. Any followers got specific recommendations?

If you're up for handmade plushies though, I will totally recommend Palaeoplushies! She's got an amazing range of realistic fish species, and some shrimps too (and prehistoric marine reptiles, of course). Look at my eel!

Previous | Next | Masterlist

Thena falls asleep after managing to eat a warm waffle that Sarah prepares for her. She was scared to close her eyes, afraid that the monster would follow her in her dreams. Jesse offered his Marshall plushie and even said he would sleep with her, because he wanted to protect her auntie. 

Now they’re both napping on the sofa in front of the fireplace. 

The rest of the family is in the kitchen, looking at each other with several questions in their minds and pain in their hearts. 

“You mean to tell me,” mumbles Slider, an exhausted expression in his eyes, “that you knew what my little girl went through and you didn’t share it with me? Her fucking father? Rooster, I expected more of you” 

“Ron, I learned about this a few days ago. Iceman was the one who knew.” Rooster argues, not wanting to be the object of Slider’s fury. 

“We shouldn’t be focusing on that, guys. We need to do something.” Nick sits down next to Becca, who’s been painfully quiet since she saw Thena in the shower. 

“She doesn’t want to report him” 

“What?” Sarah yells, rolling her eyes when her husband shushes her. 

“Thena’s not gonna be able to sit down and tell the story to the officers” Rooster clarifies, looking down. 

“That doesn’t mean we can allow that horrible man to get away with it” Sarah states. 

“We can go to the shop and ask for the security footage. If I remember correctly, there’s one in the corridor” Becca offers, breaking her silence. 

“That’s a good idea” Mav concedes. 

“I know where he lives” 

Iceman’s words make everyone in the kitchen turn in his direction. There’s a meaning behind his words. It doesn’t take a genius to understand what he’s implying. Go to his house, beat the shit out of him, make him pay for all the pain that he’s caused to a beautiful soul like Thena’s. 

“Tell me where,” urges Rooster, darting to the door to grab his car keys. 

“Bradley,” Maverick goes after him, grabbing his arm to stop him, “you can’t do that” 

“Mav, that man tried to,” Rooster winces, the word feels like a bullet to the heart, “rape her. Twice. I’m not letting Solo walk out of this without a scratch.” 

“I’m going with you,” Slider says, patting Rooster’s back. “I’m not letting you get in trouble.” 

Rooster turns, keys in hand, a determined expression on his face. “I’m gonna teach him a lesson, Slider. Nobody messes with my girl and gets away with it.” 

“Just answer to one question, son” 

“Ask away.” 

“What are your plans with my daughter?” 

Rooster looks at Thena’s sleeping form on the sofa, a soft smile on her face. That’s how he wants to see her. Relaxed, calm, happy. “I want to spend my life with her, Ron.” 

“Is that true?” 

Bradley pats his jacket, looking for a tiny box he has been carrying around since yesterday because he doesn’t know where to hide it. He finally finds the small black velvet box and opens it. 

“Is that my mother’s ring? Where did you find it?” Slider asks, grabbing the box with shaky hands. 

"Thena had been looking at every pawn show and antique shop in the vicinity for ten years. Somewhere along the way, I started doing the same. I found it yesterday, and I thought it would be an excellent gift for her." 

"You pulled her name," Rooster nods, remembering how nervous and excited he was to see Thena's name in the little paper at the Secret Santa sorting. Lucky for him, he found the perfect present. 

"I'm not asking her to marry me. Not now, Slider. It's too soon, and she needs time and help to overcome this. There's so much I can do to help." Rooster confesses, knowing that his words made his intentions clear. He wants the whole package. Marriage, house, kids. Everything. 

Slider hugs him, patting his back. "I always knew that your old man was right."

"About what?" 

"Not important now. I'm gonna ask Ice where this piece of shit lives and then we're leaving." Slider disappears in the kitchen, leaving a 6 ft man standing in the door, confused and curious. 

Shaking his head, Rooster walks slowly to the sofa. He hates having to wake her up, but leaving without an explanation could scare her when she wakes up. He kneels down in front of the black sofa, kissing her forehead and softly running his fingers through her hair. 

She stirs in her sleep, blinking a few times before her eyes focus on him, then she smiles. Gosh, that smile. He could burn the whole word to make you smile like that. 

"Hey" he whispers, caressing your cheek. 

"Did I sleep too much?" 

"Oh, no. I'm going to buy some things with your father and didn't want you to wake up not knowing why I was gone." 

"You're too sweet, Roos." 

"Don't tell anyone. I have a reputation" she giggles, his heart warming up at the sound. "Try to sleep a bit more. I'll be here soon." 

"Kiss?" She puckers her lips and closes her eyes, waiting for him to lean in. 

"You're a spoiled girl, you know?" He says, but he kisses her with all he has, he wants to prove that he loves her with every kiss. "I love you." 

"I know." 

"Quoting Star Wars, Fanboy is disappointed with you." He mocks, her eyes growing bigger. 

"Don't tell him, Mickey will cut my fingers and feed them to his dog." 

"What do I get in exchange for my silence?" 

She puckers her lips again, making him chuckle. "You're planning on winning every argument with kisses?" 

"Are you gonna argue with me?" 

They look at each other for a few seconds, and Bradley sighs in defeat. "Like I could argue with you anymore." 

"That's my pretty boy." 

Rooster can feel his entire face heating up. He's been called many things. Handsome. Attractive. Hot. Sexy. Pretty boy, however, is a new one. And he likes it. He really likes it.  

"S-say what again?" 

"Pretty boy." She smirks, looking at him. "You're blushing." 

"Shut up." 

"Make me." 

He shakes his head, kisses her slowly and gets up. "Sleep a bit more" 

She nods, closing her eyes and kissing Jesse's head, who had been there, not moving an inch. He's a heavy sleeper. 

Rooster is ready to walk away when the image in front of him sinks into his soul, and he almost has to lean against something to not fall. That scene is his future. Thena sleeping with a kid in his arms. His kid. 

That's his new dream. 

And he's going to make sure that no one interferes in it. 

Solo lives in a small white house on the outskirts of town, with a broken fence that has seen better days. The car is parked outside; it's a black sports car that looks quite new. Rooster sees Slider walking up to him with a folding knife in his hand. 

"Easy, son. It's for you to get that car a new set of flat tires," Slider explains, handing the knife to Rooster. 

He looks around, carefully checking that there are no neighbors peeping from their windows. He circles the car, stabbing the tires one at a time. Once he's finished, he throws the knife inside his own car, not trusting himself enough to enter that house with such a dangerous weapon in his pocket. 

The two men go to the door, listening for a few seconds. They can hear two muffled voices, one male and one female. Fuck, Mandy’s here? 

"There's a girl." 

"I think it's my ex." Rooster explains, looking around to see if there's a spare key. Maybe under the doormat.

"He's fucking your ex and obsessed with your girlfriend? Son, is he trying to be you?" 

The key almost falls from his hand when Slider's words register in his brain. Bradley had been trying to understand why Solo was so obsessed with Thena. He recalls that when they first met, Solo said that she was "an average girl," but here he is, doing the absolute worst to her. Why? 

And then he remembers a conversation at a bar, many years ago—innocent words soaked in alcohol that Bradley would have never thought he’d reminisce about again. 

You’re so cool, Rooster. I wish I was more like you

One month later, he attacked Thena for the first time. When he couldn’t get what he wanted, and Thena was deployed while he stayed behind for his disgusting behavior, he went after the only thing Bradley had left behind: Mandy. 

The answer had been there the whole time. He wasn’t obsessed with Thena just because. He was obsessed with her because Solo knew how important she was to Bradley. 

Bradley takes the key from under the doormat and opens the door. 

Turns out Mandy isn’t in the house; it’s just an old video recorded when Rooster, Thena, and Solo were in the same station that the monster likes to keep playing over and over again, analyzing every movement Rooster made. How he spoke, how he smiled. Bradley didn’t have a stache, he decided to grow one out two years ago. Bradley notices the shadow of a mustache growing in Solo's upper lip when he enters the house and sees him sitting on his sofa, looking at the video on the screen. 

It was the next step in his attempt to look like him. 

Rooster’s reaction when Solo notices his presence is the one that anyone could have expected. In an instant, his fist collides with the other man's face, sending Solo back into the sofa with a bleeding nose. 

“What the fuck are you doing?!” he yells, pinching his nose between two fingers to stop the bleeding. 

“I'm making you pay for all the fucking things you’ve done to my girl.” Rooster spits, his fury and anger burning his skin. 

“I’ve done nothing,” the man retorts with a smirk, standing up and walking to the kitchen. He seems not to have noticed Slider’s figure at the door of the living room, preventing him from escaping. “Who the fuck are you?” 

“The father of the girl you tried to hurt. Slider explains calmly, crashing his knuckles one at a time. 

“I told you, I’ve done-” Slider grabs his face and smashes it against the wall, blood staining the white paint. 

Solo falls to the floor, grabbing his face while agonizing howls leave his body. He sounds like an animal. 

“So you’ve been trying to be like me all these years, Solo?” Rooster says as he grabs a chair and sits in front of him, arms resting on his knees and leaning forward in a commanding posture. 

“You’re so full of yourself that you think everyone wants to be like you?” Solo chuckles before coughing, choking with his own blood. “I need to go to the hospital” 

“Oh, you need to go to the hospital? Poor little thing. You know Thena could never go to the hospital? Because she didn’t have any physical wound” 

“Because I didn’t touch her!” 

“You don’t need to touch someone to hurt them! You watched her run around the house while she cried and screamed, asking for help because she didn’t want to have sex with you.” Rooster grabs Solo by the hair, forcing his head to move back so he can look him in the eye. “You’re lucky I can’t kill you” 

“Like you would do that,” Solo mocks. 

“You’re walkin’ on thin ice, asshole,” Slider singsongs. 

“Hurt my girl once, and I will break your face. Hurt her twice, and you’re dead.” 

“I didn’t touch her this time” 

“You have a short memory, buddy. Allow me to remember you what you did” 

With the powerful strength of the adrenaline and the rage in his body, Rooster grabs Solo by the neck, and navigates the house until he finds the bedroom, leaving a trail of blood under his feet. He enters, and Solo stumbles with his feet and falls down. Slider is quickly pulling him up, and that’s when he notices the small built-in closet. 

The same size as the changing room. 

“No. No, please don’t do that. I don’t like closed spaces.” Solo whimpers, trying to free himself from Slider’s grip. 

“It’s not so funny when you’re on the receiving end, right?” Slider whispers in Solo’s ear, handing him to Rooster. 

He pushes the man inside the closet, closing the door. And as if the world wanted Rooster to follow this plan, he notices a small lock on the handle. He flips it around, leaving the man inside. 

“So, this is the deal. You're in the same situation as Thena was yesterday. It took me three minutes to reach the shop, and then you left before I even got the chance to get in.” Rooster explains, taking his phone out of his pocket and setting an alarm. “Now you’re gonna be in there for three minutes, hoping that the door stays closed, because if this door falls down, the next thing I’m breaking are your legs.”

“LET ME OUT, CRAZY PSYCHOPATH,” 

“Oh, am I the psychopath now? I’m not the one going around trying to abuse a girl because I need to be just like his fucking boyfriend!” 

“You got everything you wanted; I just wanted the same things you had.” 

"You thought abusing her would make her love you?" 

“I just wanted to be one step ahead of you and have a taste of something you’ve never had” 

Rooster presses the button that starts the countdown and takes a deep breath before letting his rage take the worst of him. He punches the door, kicks it, and tries to open it by force. Just like he did with Thena. 

He prays for the door to endure the three minutes. The thought of this monster touching her makes him sick. Bradley knows that if this door breaks from its hinges, he will cause him so much pain. 

A tiny, dangerous part of him wants the door to fall like a leaf. 

Lucky for Solo, the three minutes pass and the door remains in place. Rooster unlocks the door, opening it to see the man curled up the floor like a scared kid, face covered in tears and blood smudged in his hands. 

Rooster kneels down, jaw clenched, and shaky hands grab him by the throat. “Listen to me, buddy. My family is going down to the shop to get the security footage. You’re not getting out of this one. The sheriff is an old friend, and he’s not gonna ask when he sees your face like that. You better stay here and don’t run away because I swear on my mother’s grave that I will find you and I won’t be so nice the next time.” 

Solo doesn’t say anything, and Rooster applies more pressure, his hand closing dangerously against Solo’s throat. “Is that clear?” 

“Yes, sir.” 

“Let’s get out of here,” Slider says, giving Rooster a towel from the bathroom so he can clean his hands. “I don’t want to be around this piece of shit.” 

Both men leave the house, with Slider grabbing the keys from Rooster’s jacket because he knows that the younger one shouldn't be driving. Slider speaks up as they near Iceman's house. 

“Thank you, Rooster.” 

“For what?” 

“For always loving and protecting my girl when her father didn’t.” Slider’s voice breaks a bit. Rooster looks out the window, allowing the man some privacy in such a small place. 

“You’re there for her now, Ron. That’s what matters.” 

“I hope she knows that.” 

“She knows. She’s understanding now that she doesn’t need to be brave all the time. She can be scared, she can be sad, and she can be tired of the world. But she’ll always have a hand ready to help her.” 

“Bradley, you know she’s gonna be scared and traumatized after this, right?” 

Bradley sighs, looking at Slider. “I know. And I also know how to handle it. I’ve had my share of panic attacks. I know how to stop them” 

“I couldn’t wish for anyone better to be with my daughter” 

Bradley lets a small smile appear on his face. 

“You can call me dad from now on” 

And those words make Bradley cry like he did when he lost his mother. Thena gave him a reason to fight. Now she’s giving him a family. 

He’s glad he decided to stay all those years ago. He gets to love her—his true love. He gets a father, the one who raised him when his own couldn’t. 

A family. With Thena. 

That’s more than he could ever have asked for.

Amusement Park Date

notes: chaos ensues. also expect more writing in the next few days as I am the dancing queen, young and sweet, now in quarantine. my stepdad has covid so I'm doing social-distancing extreme rn

characters included: deuce spade, floyd leech, kalim al-asim, malleus draconia

contains: character x gn!reader

warnings: none

Deuce is so hyped to go to the amusement park with you. He's been to amusement parks with his mum when he was younger and he loved them. He especially adored the rollercoasters. So he was super excited to experience them again with you.

He gets you stuff at the souvenir shop from his allowance. A nice plushie or a keychain. And candy. He blushes when giving them to you

Holds your hand while walking through the amusement park with you

He gets spooked in the haunted house and makes you promise to never mention this in front of Ace. Or anyone else for that matter. Let's out a little high-pitched scream and his voice cracks a bit. He instinctively reaches for your hand. Acts like you're holding it because you know he'll protect you

Bumps into at least 3 mirrors at the fun house mirror maze

Enjoys all the street food that's sold at the amusement park with you. He lets you try from his and takes pictures with you that he uploads to Magicam.

Loved the rollercoasters so much as a kid but now that he's on one again he's realizing too late that he's now actually kinda scared of them. Clings to you.

His legs are wobbly when he steps out of the rollercoaster and you chuckle and hold him.

Loses orientation. He has a map of the amusement park but he's struggling to properly read it. Goes in circles with you at least twice

Doesn't mind doing your favorite attractions in the park over and over again if you like them a lot

You get him a cute hat from the amusement park souvenir shop and he wears it for the whole trip

Also likes the slower rides. He does a small boat tour with you or walks through the indoor garden and butterfly house. He takes a photo when some of the butterflies land on your shoulder and hand and makes it his wallpaper

He watches the sunset with you while there's romantic music playing and you eat ice cream and look at the Merry-go-round that's illuminated by lights and absentmindedly watch the people pass by. Deuce holds your hand and rests his head on your shoulder. "I love you so much", he says quietly and squeezes your hand

He took you to the amusement park specifically on the day there was a fireworks show. You kiss when the fireworks go off.

Just say you want the most chaotic date in the history of mankind....or fishkind

Literally I don't even know where to begin with this one

He's the scariest thing in the haunted house

Literally finds the haunted house boring and makes it his personal mission to scare the crap out of everyone else in it, including you. Though he's still lenient with you. He will spook you a couple of times and then cackle and kiss your cheek when you shriek. "Aw Shrimpy got scared", he grins and then turns around the corner with you, smiles at another stranger in the haunted house with wide eyes and like he's going insane. Then Floyd starts cackling like an evil demon and charges after the stranger at full speed. He stops eventually after the strangers have run away

Gives you the smile he has on the header. "Look, now we're all alone in here, that's romantic isn't it?", he says and kisses you. "Yeah....Floyd....you literally made everyone else leave."

Exits the haunted house like "This was fun :)"

Also turns the fun house into a haunted house.

Makes sure you are soaked by the end of the water coaster. Literally throws himself into the water when the coaster comes to a halt and either pulls you in it with him or turns into his merman form and splashes water not just on you but onto everyone else in the coaster. They almost called security because of the giant eel lurking in the small pool at the coaster exit

You buy him a balloon in the shape of a shrimp and he's so happy about it. He carries the balloon with him for the whole trip and also puts it in his room at NRC and carries it to Mostro Lounge when he has to work

He buys the most useless trinkets at the souvenir shop and brings them to you like a little treasure

If you leave him in the souvenir shop unattended he'll end up walking around with a shirt of the amusement park, a hat and one of those giant foam fingers

Makes the gondola on the ferris wheel move left and right at a dangerous height by throwing himself against the sides of it with his full weight. When the instructions specifically said to avoid a lot of movement on the ferris wheel.

Cackles on the rollercoaster and when you exit it turns out he accidentally removed his safety belt during the ride and was still just vibing in there

His favorite thing is the bumper car place and his objective is basically to bump into everyone else with his cart as hard as possibly.

Another one who couldn't be more excited.

Kalims family actually owns the amusement park you go to and he's been there multiple times as a child. He always brought Jamil along and Kalim was excitedly introducing you to all the attractions and waiting for your reactions to them

You have to wait at the entrance to the park and in the waiting line, Kalim makes at least 5 new friends, accidentally starts a flash mob and ends up dancing with all the people to Scalding Sands music

Buys a cotton candy bigger than his head. He shares it with you and repeatedly stops during the walk through the park with you just to give you a hug.

He wants to try out all the attractions, even the ones that are for children. Has the time of his life on the Merry-go-round. He tries to hold your hand on it.

His favorite attraction is the chairoplane. It always plays fun and upbeat music during the ride and especially after it has gotten dark, it's decorated with all sorts of colorful lights

Actually scared af in the haunted house. Clings to your arm and flinches at every minor thing.

Has the most fun at the fun house. He's so excited about everything in there and INSISTS you take pictures with him in front of the image-distorting mirrors

He's like a Golden Retriever on a parkour

Takes lots of pictures with you and Jamil checks his phone at NRC and receives like 120 messages from Kalim. All of them are pictures he took at the amusement park. On some he literally just took a photo of the pigeons on the street.

Actually tries not to hit anything with the bumper car. Apologizes everytime he does.

They have a pond with swans on it at the park and Kalim gets hissed at by a swan and it follows him and he's calling out to you to help him

Buys ice cream and accidentally drops it. He's like "oh no :(" and you wait in line to get him a new one because you can't say no to his sad puppy eyes

Totally hyped for the tunnel of love thing with you. Kisses you repeatedly and snuggles you. And he tells you that he loves you at least 20 times.

Now, before you two go on this trip, Malleus actually has no idea what an amusement park is and even after the explanation he can't really imagine it before he sees it and let me tell you, it's one of the most fascinating experiences of his life.

You buy him cotton candy and he's so surprised at the texture of it but he loves it. It's one of his favorite foods now.

Just imagine how cute he'd look with a surprised facial expression and repeatedly putting cotton candy in his mouth

He's staring at everything with his surprised Malleus face™ and he asks you like, a million questions. "What is this? What is its purpose? Why do people scream on the rollercoaster? Why does the park want money from me for using the toilet?"

Doesn't really get the rollercoaster. Or the haunted house. He isn't scared of the haunted house at all because of how powerful he is and he's used to the feeling of flying so the coaster and the chairoplane don't really do anything for him

Loves the water coaster though. Splashes you with the water and tells you your facial expression is cute. He presses a kiss to your cheek and tells you he could make a tornado with his magic on the water. You cup his cheeks and softly whisper "don't."

There's one coaster that's indoors and completely in the dark and he makes fireflies appear around you to impress you. It's really beautiful

Doesn't really get the love tunnel but is convinced he has to show you all his love and affection so he just kisses you for the whole ride and holds you close

Also gets a shirt of the amusement park at the souvenir shop. Really just loves unique, colorful shirts from different places he's been at.

Likes the songs they play at the amusement park and you show him that you can use your phone to find out what the song is. You might compile them on a playlist for him

There's a dragon on the Merry-go-round that looks similar to his GaoGao Dragon-kun, so he wants to try it out. Just imagine this 2m tall man of on a Merry-go-round with a bunch of children

Takes some photos with a polaroid camera so he can show them to Lilia later

Marvels at all the street food they sell at different parts of the park. Wants to try a lot of them. He makes a mental note to ask you to find a recipe for his favorite ones online so you two can make them together

This was the most fun day he's had in a long long time. Everything was so new and exciting and he was glad to get to experience it with you. You were both basically glowing with happiness and he's clinging to you for the rest of the day

TELEVISION AU: PART 4

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 5

Part 6

Part 7

You'd be lying if you said you didn't see him at first, but Wally raised his hand, his permanent smile seeming to be a little bigger now that he had your attention. "Welp, that settles it." You shrug, Wally smiles brightly, dropping his hand as he kept his head tilted, staring at you, his pupils seemed to dilate.

"Aight. Let me go set up everything, you can explore and figure out where you wanna sleep, aside from Wally." You brush off everyone as they, aside from Wally, explore your house.

You fixed up the couch with two folded blankets and two pillows on either side of your couch. Then you placed the sleeping bag on the rug, placing the pillow on the opening of the pillow.

You grabbed the mattress and struggled a little to get to your feet. Howdy took notice and came up to you. "You need help, shrimp?" You glanced at Howdy, seeing him look at you amused.

"Nah. I got it." You said as you waddled to your guest room. Howdy only chuckled. "Alright. say, you're pretty strong." Howdy says, attempting to make conversation. You gave a strained hum of affirmation as you waddle to the guest room, trying to keep the mattress from flopping over.

"My Ma always had me carry heavy things." You say, finally making to the guest room. "what kind of heavy things? I deal with boxes and supplies for my store." Howdy asked with a slight smile.

"Oh you know, groceries, furniture, that kinda stuff."

You placed the mattress on the wall with a small sigh before you could reach for the doorknob, it opened by itself.

Right, you have a living house now. You take the mattress and plop it on the floor in the guest room. You left the room and grabbed two pillows and two blankets. "I see. Your mother sounds like a strong woman who wants to continue to create strong people." Howdy smiled, and you hummed, setting up the blankets and pillows on the mattress. "Boom, see you in the morning, I guess." You waved and called it a night, walking into your room.

The sleeping places were arranged and now they just have to sleep. Frank and Eddie slept on the couch, and Julie slept in the sleeping bag, Poppy and Sally slept in the bed while Howdy and Barnaby slept on the mattress.

And Wally sat on the bed as you walked into the room, holding an extra blanket. You already had two pillows on your bed, because you love maximum comfort, but you don't mind sharing your space.

You got into bed and patted the side beside you, making Wally climb up beside you. You placed the blanket on him and you put your bonnet on (if you got curly hair you know what I'm talking bout).

You flopped down on your side of your bed and grabbed one of your plushies, nuzzling their head as you dozed off to sleep.

Wally continued to stare at your sleeping form. He couldn't help it, you looked even better up close like this, than in that screen that broadcasted your life to them.

Wally almost couldn't believe it at first, a being he had the pleasure of watching was actually living a life and wasn't a show for entertainment.

Wally tilted his head as he abandoned the cover you gave him and took the plushie from your arms gently. You immediately went to reach for the plushie back, your drowsy mind thinking you misplaced it.

Wally slipped into your arms, immediately feeling the warmth you produced as you wrapped your arms around him, nuzzling him like you did with the plush, relishing in the softness Wally's pompadour had.

Wally gave a quiet laugh. "Ha... Ha... Ha... you're soft and warm, Neighbor." Wally, no, the Puppets had no clue what your name was.

You never uttered it and each time your family would say it, the name itself would be scratched, illegible, didn't hear a single syllable, so this simple nickname will have to do.

Maybe he'd ask about it sooner or later, but there wasn't a rush. Wally snuggled deeper into your chest, relishing the warmth you provided. "I think... that's my favorite trait you have..." Wally whispered, looking up into your closed eyes, enjoying the peaceful, calm look on your face.

webttore attempt 100,000. goodmorning (it is 8pm)

ive noticed a lot of dottore themed accounts here post their fanfics so i wonder if i should post my unhinged rambling nonsense of a fanfic where dottore owns a nail salon and you're a nail biter and at one point he takes u to a shrimp place (you are allergic to shrimp) and it devolves entirely into shrimp shrimp shrimp shrimp and makes no sense for a good chunk of the time but remarkably the mc just gets away a little annoyed and not dead despite being so surrounded by shrimps and honestly I feel like my self-intro post doesnt even need to exist anymore, this post proves my 'i am nonsensical' point precisely as unintended. anyway i might take my dotty plushie for a walk again cos im sleepy but not sleepy enough to sleep. goodnight foolish mortals, i pray tomorrows sun shall brighten thine soul, see you :3:3

[brown-little-robin]

getting to know you tag! stealing this from @zelzahdarkcloak ;3

relationship status: surrounded and uplifted by lots of great friends, not called to romance at this time, currently searching for church community

fave color: EDIT WAUGH. warm browns, pale blues, rich dark reddish-purple, sunlight-through-leaves green, dark grey, white :}

fave food: shrimp Fettucine Alfredo; red velvet cake; brownies, as dense as possible, preferably not overly sweet; hot chocolate; buttery homemade bread, challah, and homemade muffins <333

song stuck in my head: the Virginia Reel!

last thing I googled: where to play Palia. sadly, I do not have a Switch, so Palia is not in my imminent future for the time being

time: 8:07 Central Time Zone!

dream trip: Art-and-food tour of China and/or Japan with a really good guide and translator!! I adore Asian art and architecture. Also I'd really like time for hiking the breathtaking mountainous landscapes... 😍 and ideally my dad would be with me, because he would really like the art exploration and he'd be a perfect companion for that. Daddy-daughter art/food/hiking tour of China and Japan ahhhhhh 😍

last thing you read: Exit Strategy, the fourth novella of the Murderbot Diaries series! I'm also rereading The Goblin Emperor and Flash Facts of Bart Allen right now!

last book you enjoyed: Exit Strategy!!!!! 😍

fave thing to cook or bake: Muffins :3

fave craft: Ceramics, of course! But also sewing (plushie mice) and I do doodle whenever my hand has a pen near a piece of paper.

most niche dislike: WHEN WRITERS CALL THADDEUS THAWNE THE SECOND "TAD" OR "TADD". I know he's called that in the later comics but that's all wrong!!!! My boy's name was shortened to Thad by Max Mercury, the first person who ever loved him!!!! and he accepted that nickname!!! Respect for clones and the names they are given by those who love them PLEASE!!! ok I'm normal again

opinion on circuses: I got obsessed with clowns in the summer of 2023, including circus clowns, so I perk up at the word "circuses" now, haha. But honestly I don't care for them? The circus clown arts are impressive and crucial to the history of clowns, but honestly, circus clowning is my least favorite form of clowning. I would go to a circus if it was nearby and enjoy it (I do love watching humans be impressive), but the crowds would be tiring and it would probably not as exciting to me as, say, live theatre. and let's not even get into the ethical questions of circuses historically versus in the present day, okay, we don't need to go there right now

do I have a sense of direction: not instinctively; at birth I traded my sense of direction for synesthesia. I can train myself to have a mental map of specific regions but it takes encoding the map in my memory and logic-ing out the direction I'm facing every time I want to know, which is maybe not the same as "having a sense of direction".

Thanks! Tagging whoever feels like doing it!

Appearance:

5ft tall (short as hell) and chubby.

I'm very Pale with freckles and green eyes. I have dyed black hair cut into a shag with bangs.

I'm very insecure about my body and kinda hate the way I look. I may have a slight eating disorder but Im usually fine. Currently trying to lose weight healthily.

I dress kinda alternative in blacks and am always wearing a bunch of jewelry. (Mostly ones I make). I am also always wearing boots (Often platform boots).

I wear tight pants both beacause they look good and I have sensory issues. I can't stand loose ones and mostly wear yoga pants.

Other:

I love to sew, crochet, make jewelry, draw etc... Basically anything where I get to create something. I love seeing an idea come to life. I'm constantly making things and I like to fidget with anything I get my hands on (meaning I have a habit of breaking stuff) (oops).

I constantly crave affection (but will never admit to that) I really love cuddling, and am definitely touch starved but anyone who knows that has figured it out themselves. Because for some reason my brain thinks I don't deserve any of it.

I am way too nice to everyone, even at my own expense and tend to Bury my emotions when I am in pain. I have Depression and some anxiety and tend to worry about if anyone I know actually likes me while simultaneously thinking that I don't deserve anyone to love me.

I am shy and awkward as heck. But I will talk your ear off if you get to know me.

I love all animals and have a particular fondness for the odd ones. Reptiles and fish are awesome but I love everything including worms that I will rescue from the sidewalk.

I own some fish and shrimp that I love. My plecos and my gecko are like my babies. Especially my boy Groot. He's an albino bristnose pleco and is very ugly, but I love him so much. My entire phone is photos of him and my leopard gecko Leo. (Resisting the urge to attach one) (nevermind) (I'm attaching photos of him, Leo, and my other pleco- Carlos)

I know a lot of random facts about animals and can rant for hours about my interests. Very passionate about animals and their care. Love all mine even if I might play favorites.

I'm also not super Great at reading social situations. Expecially flirting. I am so oblivious and unless someone is incredibly direct I won't notice it or think it's a joke.

I will gift people I like things I make. I make a lot of plushies in particular that I create. I love to see people happy

Johnny "Soap" Mactavish (a/n: ur lil pets are absolutely adorable!! i literally cannot get over how cute they are, thank you so much for including pictures of them)

How you met: The first time you and Johnny met was definitely a story that entertained all your friends. It all started when you were at the pet store buying crickets and mealworms for your geckos. As you inspected the container of dried insects, someone came up next to you. You first noticed his basket was full of a 5lb bag of dog food that he effortlessly held in one hand. The next was his smile that lit up is face as he looked at you. "I think a restaurant would be a better place to find food don't you think," he asked you and you were a little confused. "But these aren't for me, they're for my geckos," you corrected and his smile faltered a bit. "I uh was just saying maybe I could take you to a nice restaurant some time," he sheepishly said and rubbed the back of his neck as his face grew pink. You had a habit of being terrible at reading social situations and were blushing profusely. "OH, I'm sorry I'm really bad at telling when people are flirting with me," you corrected. "Don't worry, I'm Johnny by the way," he said as he shook your hand, "how about I give you my number and you can call me when you're free? It looks like you have a little army to feed." He wasn't wrong, you were rushing home to feed your babies and this was just meant to be a pit stop. He read out his number as you typed in his number on your phone. "And don't worry if you don't want to, I won't take it to heart," he joked and went to go pay for his things. You stared at your phone for a while as you looked at his contact name "Johnny AKA pick-up line guy."

A peek into your relationship: "Open it," you said excitingly as you pushed the box into Johnny's hands. You had been working on a gift for him for ages and were happy to finish it just as winter was approaching. You had tried your best to keep it a secret and delayed the project as Johnny would always find a way next to you. "Alright, alright, chill little lass," he said as he pulled apart the layers of gift wrap and the lid to a box. You watched intently as he grabbed the two items which sat on a pillow of tissue paper. "You've really outdone yourself, bonnie," he said as he pulled out a crochet hat and scarf. "Heard you can get cold when patrolling and I thought it would keep you warm," you smiled as he inspected the stitches. He eventually saw that you had sewn a little patch with a dog that looked similar to his. "Yer attention to detail is something else," he said as he tried on the set for you. You quickly grabbed your phone as you snapped a picture of him. "That one's a keeper," you said as you laid your head in his lap. He took this time to pepper your face with kisses as you laughed at his stubble brushing your face.

Months later when he was on deployment, you got a message from Ghost that showed the scenery of a snowy cliff and in the center of photo was Johnny bundled up with his scarf and hat.

[theblueskyofthedawn]

A little otome-like adventure for @ayato-kisser in the frame of @favonius-library gift exchange event ;3.

Sakura petals danced around you, cheering along with your team to the success of the last book. Your watercolors and pencils skillfully peppered the pages, and you preened under Lady Yae's proud gaze, who waved you all off, to rest and have fun.

O-hanami in full swing whirled in Hanamizaka, and you were quite eager to finally have a taste of the festival. Where do you want to go first?

1) Check the food stall 🍡.

"Isn't it the person of the hour!" your childhood friend's, Heizou's, voice greeted you among fried shrimps, candied melons, and dango of all colors. "Enjoying your freedom from the spotlight?" he chuckled.

He nodded toward the improvised scene, where the writer kept bowing and thanking the seemingly endless stream of fans.

"You could certainly say so!" you laughed, joyous. "And you aren't on a case either. Rare!"

"Oh, could I not afford a tiny bit of rest?" Heizou raised his hand to his forehead, picking up on your dramatics. "You wound me, merciless, merciless companion..."

You exchanged glances and burst into laughter, so needed after tense days of work.

"Seriously, though," he continued a few minutes later, after you picked up a small arrangement of treats, "I just have a lead that I wanted some help about," you noticed how the strain returned to his smile, "and I heard he should be nearby. But that doesn't mean," Heizou nudged you before you could comment anything, "that I can't divulge some time to you! Bet I'm still better at catching fair's fish?"

What would you do?

2) Take Heizou up on his challenge 🎯.

"Bet I'm still better at hoops?" you quipped right back.

Giggling and lightly pushing each other, you made your way to the game corner...

Where, of course, a dart game caught your eye. It had no reason to be so colorful!

And require good aim as much as hoops did.

"What do you want me to win?" you winked at Heizou, confident in your abilities.

"Hm..." he tapped his chin, smirking. Two could play this game. "A plushie of your choice," his gaze laughed, as between the pair of you you were the one to favor those, "and I have something in mind for later".

"Later, you say?" you narrowed your eyes at him. "I better give my all, then!"

Now determined, you focused your efforts on striking as many balloons as you physically could, not noticing how Heizou's gaze wandered around the fair, searching.

But you did feel his arms snaking around you just as the shout of triumph left your throat.

"Nice job," he whispered in your shoulder. You felt how he forced trembles down, and the smile didn't reach his voice. A soft deer plushie the stall owner pushed at you awkwardly hang on your forearm. "Mind if I step away for a bit? I think I saw..."

And he needed a breath, you understood.

"Feel free to do whatever, 'kay?" he reluctantly let you go, his smile in place but not fooling you one bit. Yet, you knew that he'll be alright.

What are you going to do?

4) Keep Heizou company 🌊.

You whirled around and caught his hand, intertwining your fingers together.

Seeing him mope made your own uncertain sadness, held at bay by the fair's liveliness, rise, and who wanted that?

Not you, that's who.

His evident surprise warmed your heart, and you winked:

"Did you think your favorite companion would leave you?"

You tugged him to the shadow beyond colorful tents, hoping that your blush will become less noticeable there.

Repetition of the ocean waves soothed both of your fraying nerves, and Heizou leaned into you, laying his head on your shoulder once more.

"Eh, I am a mood downer today, am I not?" he mirthlessly chuckled.

You pinched his forearm, threateningly raising a hard-won plushie in a smacking gesture:

"Nu-uh, mister I-will-unearth-decade-long-mysteries, you are not getting such titles from me. Everyone needs a break once in a while. Besides," you lightly pushed him with your hip, "the moon over the sea is the most delightful".

A spark returned to his eyes:

"You are the most delightful".

"Flattery won't get you anywhere," you bit back, nonetheless confident you are as red as a tomato by now. And Heizou, no doubt, saw that clearly.

"Won't it?" he teased, grinning.

"Brat," you muttered with a flustered smile, returning your gaze to the waves.

Heizou let you, squeezing your side closer to himself, whispers of water the only sound between you now...

After some time, Heizou tapped your nose:

"Hey, sleepyhead, didn't you want to find trinkets for the folks back home?"

Mindreader, you thought to yourself.

What do you want to do?

4) Relish in nature 🌊.

"E-e-eh, they'll survive," you whined, "stars are far more attractive right now".

Heizou chortled:

"You would regret that decision tomorrow, dummy. Wait here, then".

And was it the atmosphere of the holiday or your sweet pouty look, but Heizou leaned into you to leave a small, but unmistakable kiss on your lips - only to disappear in the people's sea a mere second later, your dazed gaze following his steps.

You didn't notice how a tall figure in resplendent white froze on the edge of the crowd and quietly retreated back.

Left alone, you turned your eyes to the sky, winking at you through twinkling stars' dots.

Would've you thought even a year back that a brat you smacked with naku weed stems would grow into someone you would love?

Oh, love, such a fickle thing.

...didn't Lady Yae comment on how inspired you lately were? And you could swear it was always the places that reminded you of him.

You mushed your face in the plushie.

However embarrassed, you could not wait for tomorrow, and the day after that, and the whole life before you.

"Didn't make you wait for long, did I?" his breathy chuckle tickled your ear.

You both, together.

[Achievement unlocked: In intuition’s sphere]

...Kazuha caught up to the two of you once you were leaving the fair, and you cheerfully waved at him with your intertwined hands, getting a raised brow and amused chuckle in response.

...rumors said, Yashiro Commissioner became even more elusive lately...

...winds of the faraway lands ruffled your hair, passing, unbothered.

As for you two, Heizou and you continued as you always were...

If now a bit more entangled.

"Five more minutes," you muttered into his shoulder, burrowing deeper into the blankets.

"I should charge you for derailing the investigation," he teased, pressing a kiss to your knuckles.

A little plushie deer proudly sat at your nightstand.

[mahiiimahiiii]

Could I get a matchup?

I'm a 5ft tall straight woman with freckles (like a lot) (I'm pale as heck and I don't tan I just burn and then get freckles) , green eyes, medium length shaggy dyed black hair with bangs (naturally brown). Short and chubby with an hourglass figure.

I am a Sagittarius (tho I don't really belive in that sort of stuff) and have a mediator personality on the Briggs scale.

I love to bake, sew, crochet, draw, etc... Basically anything where I get to create something. I love seeing an idea come to life. I'm constantly making things and I like to fidget with anything I get my hands on (meaning I have a habit of breaking stuff) (often)

Baking and cooking in particular because I like to give things to people and it's a lot less weird to randomly gift cookies or a meal instead of a plushie.

I also keep freshwater aquariums and love the process of building tanks and decorating them. I especially love shrimp because they are adorable. And plecos.... I love my babys

I also keep insects and a gecko. I love them all. I make little hats for my gecko because he tolerates me too much..

Can I include pictures.... I'm including pictures

The first one is my favorite ugly boy, Groot. Second is Carlos who hates my face. Leo is the gecko, he is precious. Domino is the Betta. And ki-ki is my one eyed old woman.

I constantly crave affection (but will never admit to that) I really love cuddling, and am definitely touch starved but anyone who knows that has figured it out themselves. Because for some reason my brain thinks I don't deserve any of it. I really want to just be held one day. big strong man.... Or just a man really

Thanks ahead of time... Sorry if this is too long.

hello!!! i love your menagerie, please give your cat a kiss on her head please. plecos are adorable i do love their mustaches. i also love your geckos hat, he is looking rather dashing!

for you it feels slightly obvious that Halsin would be the best choice. (don't think i didn't see that last part /lh)

your menagerie already speaks for itself! he would most certainly be at home in that environment!

the scent that i'm getting is jasmine and monoi oil, there's a song called "forever" by the little dippers, and that's the vibe i'm getting. very sweet and dreamy!

Halsin is a very affectionate guy, he would all but melt away all needs for any other touch as well. (get onto hugging people!! it helps manage stress!!!)

for food i feel like a nice salmon with lemon and herbs du provance. salty, refreshing, and a yummy spring and summer meal. (if this makes sense my brain makes weird connectionsss)

i think for y'all it would be a craft date, this could mean going to a fabric or wool store. or sitting in a shopping cart in a home depot while he looks for silly home renovation things to do.

i feel like it could also be a lot of parallel play with soft music, doing your own thing together.

overall this sounds really cozy.

hope you enjoyed!

Maid of heart? And can a maid of heart put her splinterself into toys, plushies and any inanimate object?

I don't usually delve into the theoretical powers one would have during a game session unless it's relevant to personality things or is just something I haven't seen mentioned anywhere... but I can definitely try?

We're starting with personality analysis though, I'm still a mage of mind after all.

SO! Starting with the class, maids are a creation class. I believe I've mentioned that before briefly, but now I get to expand that. So, maids are a class that can make more of their aspect out of thin air, pretty much. Aradia seems to be so far the only player we meet that I can think of that therefore uses her classpect in a creative way; when dog-Jack attacks their session right before they win, she stalls him, giving her session... more time. Porrim puzzles me because I can't understand so much of the alpha trolls' session so bear in mind if her actions in their session completely contradict me it's because I actually really dislike most of the alpha trolls and therefore skipped most of their dialogue, apologies in advance.

So, what are maids actually like, then, as a creation class and as people?

Well, for one, maids are pretty goal-oriented people, but in a rather big-picture way. They want an ideal life for themselves and everyone around them, if they can swing it, and aren't afraid to fight for it if that's what it takes; however, in pursuit of a picture where there's nothing apparently wrong, they miss details. They're idealistic enough to think some problems are "less important" for the moment, and can be returned to when everything is "fixed" so to say. It's hard to get a maid to leave the theoretical perfect world behind, because they really want to make just that much of a change; and I'm not saying it's impossible, but Rome wasn't built in a day and the world can't be fixed by one person. I hear a lot of people say sylphs are healers, but it's actually the maids that want to change everything for the better.

Maids aren't afraid to take action, but also tend to turn a blind eye to problems they don't know how to fix. Procrastinators at heart, they want the change to be immediate and are intimidated by lengthy processes; but they're definitely determined. With people at their side telling them to keep going, a maid on a mission can make waves. They're people of very distinct opinions who voice said opinions to anyone willing to listen. They talk with a passion about the change they want to see and can be charismatic about it. Like sylphs, they're great friends to the people around them, but they also tend to be polarizing; you either love hanging out with a maid, or you can't be in the same room as them. And the maid won't change for you, because if their loud exclamations at the world are too much for you, whether you disagree or are simply intimidated by the maid's pure fiery passion for the topic... well, the maid probably wouldn't much like having you around, either.

So, maids are an acquired taste, and are fierce and passionate and very loud about their opinions. What about that aspect, then?

I'll be honest, last time I wrote anything for the heart aspect was my second post here and I was too nervous and tired to go the whole way and write the many paragraphs heart players deserve, so, here we go.

Heart is an aspect that regards the self first and foremost. It's about having a sense of self and experiencing emotions to the fullest. They're usually very emotionally intelligent people (Dirk Strider notwithstanding, but he's a prince so I suppose that makes sense enough) and should be willing enough to listen and give advice if they sense something is wrong. I think the heart-bound are very animated people; they're bright and tend to gesture wildly, and people notice when they're not in the room. Heart players are also very sensitive, and their emotional range is so wide I almost made a shrimp colors metaphor. They're really unique people and would probably wear that adjective with pride; they likely wear a lot of adjectives with pride, actually.

Heart players are explorers, they like to see and experience the world, but they also like to explore their own selves. They're not very good when it comes to understanding other people's thought process, and can thus be a bit awkward to converse with for the first time, but they are anything but shy about it. Heart players can be considered very impulsive, mostly because their emotions can sometimes overcome their logic; even those of them who pride themselves for being incredibly logical can sometimes let the world in too deep and interfere and get hurt, the moment something becomes personal.

Heart players are entirely the center of their own world, but not anyone else's; to their knowledge, everyone's center is themselves, and it kind of makes sense. You are made by the things you like and the people you know, and not those of any other person. They expect people around them to be just as driven towards self-achievement and understanding, which makes their first impressions be either intimidating or standoffish, depending on the mood and whether they expected to meet a new person or not; they just want to get to know you, and are surprised when you hesitate and not know some obscure thing about yourself that they know about themselves, like your favorite movie studio or dog breed or whether or not you like an obscure music genre. Obviously when such questions arise you have to explore both yourself and the world around you and form such views, who doesn't? (I'll tell you who, it's people who aren't heart players, that's who). As such, they're also very decisive people, who form an opinion and hold onto it like it's their defining characteristic; because every characteristic is defining to a heart player, and all those traits can only make up one person who cares so deeply about things like the name of a childhood plush or how many teaspoons of sugar you put in their tea, and that knowledge can make heart players very detail-oriented, in the way where they want to know everything about you that you'd be willing to tell them- it also makes them great at understanding interpersonal relationships between any two people; because this person is a cat person, while this other person actually does have a favorite dog breed, so they're going to have disagreements in a work scenario but be good friends if they aren't (I'm very much extrapolating; I'm no heart player, I could be completely wrong and hyper dog fans can entirely get along with cat people, who am I to know?)

... So, now that we've done both class and aspect justice, let's see how well they combine, yes?

Well, let's start with things the class and aspect have in common, the things most likely to be describing a maid of heart; they'd be a passionate person, who cares a lot about the world around them, but they might also get scared off if they don't know how to help a friend in need. They're idealistic yet charming in their awkward and sincere conversations with their peers. A maid of heart is true to who they are as a person and isn't afraid to yell it from the rooftops, which can be either mesmerizing or terrifying, depending on who you are. They're creative thinkers and explorers who aren't afraid to try something new and try to make everything better, though they might find troubles that would make picking themselves up harder once they fall, which makes them also dependent on the unspoken support of the people dear to them, as they are very in tune with both their own emotions and those of the people around them. A maid of heart with a good support system is unafraid of challenges and is energetic to meet new people. Find your true friends who let themselves feel to the fullest around you, and you will thrive.

... Now, that the analysis is all over, I do want to try my hand at theorizing about the powers a maid of heart might have, so, let's give this a shot after the cut;

Here's an obligatory disclaimer because the fun thing with classpect powers is that, depending on how you interpret your aspect and how creatively you think of it, your game powers can be incredibly diverse, and this is just my take on the powers of a maid of heart; if you have a different interpretation and can justify it well enough, who am I to say it won't work?

Well, as I've said in the personality analysis, maids are creators; they make more of their aspect where there is none. Heart players have a strong sense of self, which can result in splintering and making multiple versions of oneself, and are also in-tune with the emotions of themselves and the people around them. So, a maid of heart can make... more of themselves? I'm imagining either Aradia-bot style duplicates or some version of time-shenanigans, or maybe they're just actually multiple different people in a trench coat, what do I know. Alternatively, a maid of heart can intensify emotions, or bring new emotions to a person; imagine you're angry and suddenly that anger is being overshadowed by overwhelming love for your enemy, that would be a possible power for a maid of heart.

To answer the question of whether a maid of heart can put their splinterselves into dolls, I imagine not? Taking a preexisting thing and inserting part of your soul into it feels more aspect-manipulation-class, like knights or witches, than an aspect-creation-class, like the maid. However, you might be able to make more of yourself inside the dolls to begin with, or make the dolls when you make more of yourself automatically.

Again, this is entirely my personal interpretation of how those powers should work; the only things limiting your powers are your imagination and your interpretation of your classpect.

Hope this helps! ^^"

[frostbite-the-bat]

tell me about your fucked up petz creatures

I WILL GO OVER My Main Cast. alphabetically as they appear in my funny box !

Starting off with ABYSS!! i love her dearly. she's a spamton mixie! specifically a blue addison + spamton + sparkle kittling. she's got no eyes or colors (she's got blue paw pads, thought!), leading to an unsettling appearance. i love her dearly, though! she's full of cheeky personality and she loves jumping through the hoop, if she isn't knocking it out of my hand. (or doing other things... she loves to mess around)

up next is... asshole! yes. thats his name. he's my oldest spamton i currently have! he was originally a different spamton neo, but for petzspamton creator's comfort i converted him to be dib's spamton neo. being based on a siamese - he's picky and he's mean. he's an asshole. that name stuck with him. he used to wear an iconic sweater but this spamton neo kinda breaks shirts so he has a santa hat now!

also spamton neos in petz are known for. their. uhm. Thoughtful Gaze.

next is... BIG BOY! MY BELOVED!! he is a gift from petzspamton for me based on my mega spamton neo design! he came named bigboy and since even my mega spamton neo's nickname has been bigboy. :] he's big, he's cuddly, he's gentle and he LOVES food. he also flops. a LOT. and genuinely when i say he loves food i mean it, he's based on a persian and those love food in petz. he seems very eepy today he's flopping less than usual but probably because of how wacky the room layout is + he's too interested in buck plush

OLD BAD ART ALERT I DONDNT DRAW LIKE THIS NOW I DREW THIS IN MY FLOP ERA but heres mega sneo design. just for context!! (ye he got swapped wings but who cares)

if you see similarities between this hair and the way i draw high roller, no you dont. no you fucking dont.

up next is cap'n! i'll be honest i dont play with him as often since i converted everyone from petz 5 to petz 4 - losing k_k in the progress </3. he just loves starting fights with everyone its no fun </3 but ANYWAYS!! this is a hexie made by YOURS TRULY! hes goofy

can't show off cap'n without.. SWEET! oh boy after glados this is my most complicated hex. DO YOU KNOW HOW PAINFUL IT IS. TO MAKE A CUBE. OUT OF (SPHERES) (AND LINES THAT ARE VERY FUCKY) ITS HORRIBLE. sweet sweet sweet my dearest friend sweet they start fights sometimes too but are calmer than cap'n. they like playing with plushies a lot as you can see

next is creature! a funky little spamton mixie. seriously this thing is like generation 7 and listing everything thats In Their Blood may take a while. they've got lovely spots and neat textures + are pretty big!!! their tip ends with a pink which is a fun contrast compared to the blue/white gradient. very silly fella!!!

next is cupcake! one out of two silly kitties i got from bad_death ! they did a thing where they gave out unique textured/patterned fellas to people on petzcord. so these guys are unique! like everyone elses. i have other petz i got from other people that are hexed, but i don't have them in the playable petz folder right now. cupcake likes to flop around, too! what a lovely fuzzball... they also get scared of everything which isnt characteristic of a persian personality but. hey. the wordl is scaresy...

next is dragonfruit with their funky shrimp tail !! also a spamton mixie - you can defo see similarities between them and creature. i believe they're related? anyways - the main breed they take from is cubus! they have calico personality so they are very playful!!

next is fledgeling! Bird. i dont even know whats in them .

FROSTBITE. MADE BY PETZSPAMTON FOR ME. THIS smug-ass cursed entity. they're a little bastard beast. theyre just me but petz. smug ass. likes to 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨. friends with some but enemy to many. LOVES DANCING. PLAY MUSIC INGAME AND THIS THING WILL SHAKE TAIL. dear god even this frost made it to hr's , they will kill.

A double...

I recently got tagged in two of these and the second one finally kicked my butt to finally get on it so I’m gonna just smoosh them together into one post for SUBSTANCE

The first, tagged by @divinityiswasted: 5 songs I’ve been listening to! (This made me sweat because I have extremely lukewarm music tastes so how will I compensate???? Like this)

焰火 (Fireworks) - Zhou Shen

Falling You - Chen Feiyu, Zhang Jingyi (listen Lighter and Princess has got me in its clutches and its soundtrack is disgustingly good)

Oh, Death - SUGR?

Eat Your Young - Hozier (YES I’M GONNA CHEAT TOO AND THROW IN HOZIER BECAUSE HIS NEW SONGS ARE STRAIGHT FIRE)

All Things End - Hozier

For this one I guess I’ll tag... @theimpressionablelizard, @miraamell and @dulcidyne, which is a great segue into our next section because Dulci tagged me for the second portion of this which is, share 10 facts about yourself! (Content warning ahead for one mention of death)

I don’t remember the exact number anymore, but I own somewhere around 10 Garfield plushies which I received all from ONE person as a child growing up.

I’ve attended exactly one Olympics event! It was the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. (No one will ever be able to convince me that any opening ceremony in the near future can top the 2008 one). I was able to watch some field events inside the Bird’s Nest in person.

Never been to a funeral but I’ve transported a dead body.

I own a paintbrush where the hairs are made of my own baby hair.

I used to want to be a dentist... That isn’t the case anymore but at this point I know way more about teeth than most people, for better or for worse.

I have three names. The one that’s on my birth certificate, the one that most of my Chinese-speaking family calls me, and my English name.

My favorite place I’ve taken a trip to would be Tibet - really fascinating place to visit (elevation sickness is so real though).

As far as I’m aware I have zero allergies. Though, according to blood tests, I should have an allergy to shrimp and shellfish... Except I’ve had those things a lot since I’ve had those tests and I haven’t had a reaction since so... I dunno, the immune system is whack, haha.

I tried blacksmithing once and I really liked it! My arms definitely felt like they were going to fall off the day after though.

I licked the back of a school bus seat as a kid out of curiosity. Fun fact: they taste salty.

Uhhhh for this part I’ll tag @bluvixen, @fleeting-fantasy, @hvntersmark for fun

WEIRD WRITER ASKS? YES? (Also all haail Lord Gnives)

5. Do you have any writing superstitions? What are they and why are they 100% true?

19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?

23. Describe the physical environment in which you write. Be as detailed as possible. Tell me what’s around you as you work. Paint me a picture.

33. Do you practice any other art besides writing? Does that art ever tie into your writing, or is it entirely separate?

5. I don't have any weird writing superstitions! However, I am a firm believer that if I'm getting in my head too much about being a bad writer, I need to write. Quickest way to make me feel better. It may not be good, but it's better than ruminating.

19. Well, I started writing in 5th-6th grade when I had this grand idea for a novel. It was essentially the Warrior Cats setting with a Lion King plot, but... with unicorns. Real cool. My 6th grade English teacher was really supportive, which meant a lot to me. Shortly after that I fell into POTC and started writing POTC fic on FF.net at the tender age of 13. I was also on Deviantart. Who let me do that??

That fizzled out and I didn't write again for a long, long time. I got wrapped up in my horseback riding and was doing other creative projects, mainly making videos on equestrian Youtube (oh boy). Then as school got harder and I went off to college and then grad school, I barely even had time to read.

Lockdown changed all of that! My best friends and I started an online dnd game, and oh man, it got me writing. The way I prep is pretty involved and I wrote full-ass paragraphs when I started out because I wasn't as good at improvising settings and wanted to include some pre-determined scenes. Towards the end it morphed into writing some really fun monologues, which my players loved (and still love!). . At this same time, I got into fanfic again - starting with BOTW, then moving onto The Adventure Zone and The Magnus Archives - but I didn't write any.

Then I got into Trigun. And got into Trigun fic. One day I was brushing my teeth and the first few lines of what became Funeral Rites popped into my head, and Oops! Have to write it or the beast in my head will break out! And now we're here. I'm having fun. Yes, yes, the tiger is out!

23. I write in my car, hurtling 70 miles an hour down the highway, music blasting, while my little Vash plushie bleaches in the sun on the dashboard. I write in my head, scrambling frantically for my phone or a scrap of paper to get an idea down. I write on the couch, curled up oh so cozy under a blanket with a cat and some kind of carbonated drink (like our Lord Gnives, I too am a little beverage bitch). I write at my kitchen table, slurping coffee in the wee hours of the morning when I can't sleep, back hunched like a cooked shrimp (this is when I like to write best) (I will regret it).

I write after work, with discord open next to my WIP, cracking jokes with friends or groaning to my beta who is always so right about what needs to change. Most importantly, I write when there's something in me that needs to get out, and the words sometimes surprise me into catharsis or into giggles. I write when it feels good or bad or whatever, but the act of creation is invariably fulfilling. Even if it's bad writing, it's still something, not nothing.

33. I occasionally dabble in visual art (usually digital), but I'm often frustrated by drawing people and I rage-quit quite often. It would be nice if I could draw the scenes in my head, but alas.

#why did i write so much for q 23 who knows im in a mood #and procrastinating dnd prep again
