Oh nooo I hope you get better!
Is your diabetes acting up?
Thank you my lovely Anon ❤️
It is not - I have that very well under control. These are heart related symptoms, which baffles me because I was just at the doctor and everything looked great. I feel like ever since I had COVID (twice now), my body hasn’t handled the weight gain like it used to. Very disheartening. Not sure what things will look like moving forward, but y’all will be updated along the way. I love you all, and no matter what happens I’m so grateful for the wonderful friends and connections I’ve made along the way.
Sometimes you just gotta be a willow tree; to bend, but not break.
I hope you have a rad fucking weekend ❤️

Flowers for my boys (pt 6)
Coffee/Flower shop AU
Demons x reader - gender neutral, fluff, Barbatos is here and he’s smoother than jazz, Cute Diavolo
Identifying demons is far easier than previously suspected. Their names are often strange and unlike the names of the normal human world. Which is how the young florist had identified the quiet young man who entered her shop weeks prior. His eyes serious and his posture formal as he meandered the shop with a scrutinizing gaze. 
“Barbatos” was the name he gave when (y/n) asked cheerfully, his lips curving into a soft smile as he looks away from the handmade birdhouses across the shop. Light filtering in from the window illuminated the streak of teal in his hair, his eyes wise and calm. 
“I’m quite interested in these birdhouses and feeders,” Barbatos hums, walking close and leaning on the cash counter. 
“Oh?” (y/n) hums, smiling cheerfully “What kind of birds are you trying to attract.” The demon chuckles, casting a wink to the lovely florist. 
“Nothing from this world,” Barbatos hums, “I was hoping to have some things custom made.” The idea of a commission sparking joy in the human’s ribcage. 
“Of course of course,” (y/n) chuckles, grabbing a sheet of paper to sketch out the design, “What kind of designs do you want?”
“I’d actually like to help you build it,” Barbatos rumbles, carefully sketching out a birdhouse on the paper with a blue pen. The two chat idly as they plan out the little houses and feeders. The sun filtering in cheerfully. 
***
Now, as Barbatos carefully paints on the designs to the tiny Victorian-esque birdhouse on the workbench, there’s a sweet smile on his face. A warm calm had long since fallen over the duo as they finish the little details on the small houses and feeders. 
“Would you like to help me hang these?” Barbatos hums, adjusting his loose-necked turtleneck sweater a bit. Wearing casual clothes was a surprise to (y/n), but the demon had insisted on wearing something a tad more comfortable. 
“Oh,” (y/n) blushes, “Where?”
“Diavolo’s castle, in the Devildom.” 
Surprise and shock coats the human’s features as they look up from the palette of acrylic colors. The duo blush a little when their eyes meet, the surprise from the human fueling the look. 
“You want...me to come to the Devildom?” (y/n) asks, their eyes wide in surprise. 
“Yes,” Barbatos nods, “Diavolo has many flower species he’d like you to see. It could be a good chance to include you in our culture.” The florist nods, dabbing on the last few dots of paint onto the birdhouse. 
“I’m honored,” they nod a bit, smiling as Barbatos slips them a small slip of parchment, “What’s this?”
“A packing list,” Barbatos hums, “The Devildom is often wild and strange, I personally want you to be prepared for anything.” A smile stretches across (y/n)’s lips as they look over the list. 
“Thank you,” The human nods, smiling. The sun sets outside the flower shop, the warmth of the day melting away into a chill pool of night. In the workshop, the pair of friends chat about the incoming trip to the Devildom. 
***
Stepping through the portal, the first thing to grace (y/n) is a beautiful hall, the far end appearing to be some sort of meeting space. Tapestries hang from the walls, the scent of ancient secrets fluttering into the air and sinking into their lungs. 
“Woah...” (y/n) gasps, holding their crate of items close to their chest, “Where are we?” 
“The meeting room at RAD,” Barbatos hums, holding (y/n)’s bags for them, “It’s for the student council.” The duo meander out of the room, (y/n) wide-eyed and amazed as they walk out of the school into the courtyard. Gorgeous pillars and walkways stretch out in front of the duo as they walk off towards a destination unknown to (y/n). 
Pathways stretch out in front of them, the streets and buildings winding around as though the very ground is alive. The ancient feeling rising from the ground and seeping into (y/n)’s bones chills them deeply. There’s an ancient archaic knowledge in the soil here, the feeling of knowledge far unknown to mankind sinking in as one walks among the stone walls. 
There, in the distance, looms a beautiful castle. The towers stretching into the sky in graceful spears. Lovely beautiful golden walls and gleaming gates. 
“Woah,” (y/n) gasps, “Who the heck lives there?” 
“Diavolo,” Barbatos hums, leading the young human up the steps and towards the front door, “We can take the shortcut through the castle, to ensure your time is not wasted.” Swiftly, as though he’s merely an animatronic moving along a preset track, Barbatos walks along the beautiful hallways. His head is held high, his body slender and graceful. A catlike man stalking along a dominion he knows better than himself. 
“It’s so lovely here,” (y/n) hums, staring wide-eyed around at the beautiful artwork lining the halls, “I’m grateful for the chance to see everything.” 
“One can only see so much in their lifetime,” Barbatos smiles serenely, holding (y/n)’s bags in one arm and carefully taking the crate from the human’s hands. 
“I guess that’s true.” 
“It is,” He hums, beautiful eyes meeting theirs, “So I’m glad I was lucky enough to meet your acquaintance.” A blush flashes across (y/n)’s face, the sweet gaze of Barbatos tenderly warming the space between them. 
“O-Oh my!” They blush, looking away bashfully, “Thank you.” Making their way into the courtyard, Barbatos casually sets down the bags before tucking the crate under his left arm. 
“May I?” Barbatos offers the crook of his arm, smiling softly, “The steps can be a tad slippery.” (y/n) blushes, holding the crook of the demon’s arm and walking with him into the beautiful gardens. A sense of domestic bliss washes over the duo as the walk like young lovers into the garden. In (y/n)’s mind blossoms images they had seen in their teen years. Black and white photos of young couples of all age, sex, and race, walking hand-in-hand as though the world contains no wrong. 
Barbatos casts his human companion small smiles as he comes to stop before a gorgeous willow tree. The branches of which hang low and lovely. The demon butler sets down the crate, stretching his arms out for a moment as his human companion looks around. 
“Hey, why’d you bring my stuff here?” They ask, brow raised questioningly. Barbatos gives a wink, grin pulled over his beautiful lips. 
“Well the brothers don’t fare well with sharing,” he explains, smiling, “So we wanted to make sure you didn’t end up mobbed by those wild boys.” A chuckle shakes through (y/n)’s ribs as they carefully hang a birdhouse.
“Aww,” (y/n) smiles, carefully adjusting the small treebranches so that they wont be damaged, “It’s nice to be so loved. You guys are so sweet!” Barbatos chuckles, letting silence fall over the duo as they begin hanging the birdhouses and feeders. The demon fills the strange birdfeeders with a strange sort of birdseed, his smile never fading from his soft-looking lips. 
“Barbatos, have you brought (y/n) down to-” Diavolo rounds the corner, cheer in his eyes as he sees the pair under the tree, “(y/l/n)! You’re here! How wonderful.” The lord walks up close, his smile growing wide as he examines the birdhouses. 
“Hi Dio,” (y/n) giggles, watching the demon carefully look over the details of the handmade woodwork. 
“You two made these?” Diavolo smiles, “That’s amazing!” The prince pulls his human guest into his arms, giving them a hearty squeeze before carefully pulling back. 
“Thank you, sir,” Barbatos nods, filling the final birdfeeder. 
“I’m glad someone respects my work,” (y/n) blushes, rubbing their arm sheepishly. 
“Well....” Diavolo hums, “I suppose we’ve put if off for long enough.” The demons fall into a stone-faced look, their eyes locking for a mere moment. 
“Your lodging...” Barbatos begins, however, Diavolo is quick to stop him. 
“You’ll be staying in the House of Lamentation,” The prince begins, “....with the seven demon brothers: Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, and Belphegor.” Barbatos steps forward, his eyes looking like those of a war-worn old man. 
“And they don’t know you’re coming to stay the week.”

so is it just me when i have ideas of digimon based on songs i listen to like recently a fairy digimon who is apart of a tree and is completely immoble, because of eutan's song 'the willow maid' bc i think more tree and fairy digimon are needed.
Definitely!! We need enough trees for a forest of Digimon and we've got, like, two! (And I never say no to a fairy lmao)
Basing Digimon on songs you like? That's rad as all hell. Some of my favorite bits of inspiration have come from songs :)

Why Is Your Room Like This
Pairing: Arbor (My oc) / Ayano (lunakurenai’s oc)
Tags: Dubious consent, tree fucking, penis-in-vagina sex, multiple orgasms, aphrodisiacs, restraings.
Can be read on ao3 under the same name.
~~~~~~~~~~
It was the middle of the school day, and there was no demon, human, or otherwise living being in sight.  The perfect time for Ayano to carry out her plan, regardless of how much Lucifer would scold her later.  This task was of the utmost importance, after all, and this was the only time a certain sorcerer would not be in the immediate area.  
Now, Ayano didn't want to make a habit of poking Arbor.  The man was hard to read, and she never quite knew if her pokes only tickled him or pushed his buttons- but this was important.  There were already two magically-educated humans in the Devildom, herself being the one with the least experience, and it was starting to get to her.  Between Arbor's frequent rituals to 'strengthen our bond' whatever that meant and Solomon's own obsessive research, she was starting to feel like she wasn't doing enough for her boys.  Plus, Arbor seemed the least protective of his material possessions out of the two- what's the harm in taking one measly little spell book?
She carefully twisted the knob on Arbor's door, which was located right next to hers, relieved that there were no protective spells or anything of the like on it.  It was... strange, living so close to Arbor.
For one, the man was far older than her, and it showed.  He approached life with a certain experience and confidence she herself couldn't manage, and looked unbothered through it all.  Not to mention that he viewed things like sex, demons, religion, and magic in a far different light than she herself did.  Plus, he was just so patient!  You'd think that living for a millenia or two would make him uninterested in wasting his time, but instead it seemed that he could wait for days, or even months on end for something to come to fruition.  Especially when it came to Ayano.
Mammon had said that Arbor was sweet on her, and... she could kind of see it.  For one, he'd said she was always welcome in his room- something no one except Mammon had offered her at the time.  He'd also offered his own abundant power and knowledge for her use to help with Diavolo's tasks and any pesky demons who wished her arm- and he was an incorrigible flirt.  
Hello, little dove.  How was your day?
You look stunning today, Ayano.  I love your hair
I got this dress from Asmo for you, I'd noticed you like this style
Do come over to my room later tonight, we can chat without any demons down our shoulders
A subtle kind of flirting, with a simple twist to the mouth and sincere expression that always made Ayano's heart melt.
Then there was the physical contact whenever they were near... it was kind of hard not to stare at Arbor's well-built body for hours on end when it was right there.  His chosen outfit was wearing nothing but the RAD over coat, tanned muscles lined with intricate tattoos on full display for anyone to see.  When Ayano had asked him about it, he'd said it was the culture- the naked chest look was reserved for only the most powerful, and old Devildom belief that it takes an unbelievably strong being to bear their heart for all to see.  
Now, Arbor wasn't automatically attractive- at least, not by Ayano's previous standards, but over time in the Devildom, he had become more and more handsome... He had deep set hooded eyes, where only dark green with a pool of gold could be seen through.  His hair was curly and cut in such a way that he looked like one of the Greek statues of old.  He had a hawk nose and sharp jaw line, full lips always twisted in a calm yet playful smile. Then there was his body... not built for aesthetics like you would see on Devilgram or on those dating TV shows, but rather for practicality- he may not have a rack of abbs, but when you felt his stomach, it was all muscle.  Then the happy trail that went from his belly button, paused to make way for Mammon's pact mark, and then lead the eyes further down…
Ayano tried to shake herself out of those thoughts as she walked in, but the man was hard to not think about.  Especially since the other night, she'd accidentally stayed out to late at RAD, and it had become night time.  The Devildom was already a dark and gloomy place, but during "night time" it became pitch black- even some demons couldn't see.  She'd dug out her DDD in a panic and phoned Arbor, the only one who was still awake at this hour, and he'd come over no problem.  
He'd settled a warm hand on her back and slowly slid it around her waist, gently caressing her side with his thumb whenever she got to antsy in the darkness as he guided her through the night.  She would never admit it, but thinking back to that night made her blush and turn non-functioning for a minute or two. Especially when she thought back to how he'd put her ice cold hands on his bare chest to warm her up from the Devildom frost... UGH she needed to stop thinking about it before she ended up staying in his room for hours thinking about those hands.
Ayano carefully made her way through the room, and couldn't help admiring the scenery.  Arbor's room was something straight out of a fairy tale, his ground was entirely grass and flower petals with a stunning stream flowing through it coming from who-knows-where, and his bed was carved straight out of a weeping willow.  Yellow flower buds seemed to be the theme today- the colors of the petals changed at Arbor's whims.  His closet was cleverly hidden between pine trees, and as far as Ayano had seen, Arbor simply stuck his hand in and whatever came out he wore.  His personal possessions were all the way in the back of the room, sitting on a mahogany desk lined with desert plants.  She'd briefly wondered, once upon a time, how so many plants from different climates could survive in the same place.  After seeing Arbor at work, she wondered no longer. 
She couldn't help but take a peek through the curtain of flowers to check Arbor's bed, some sort of Paranoia to make sure he wasn't lurking in the room somewhere she couldn't see
She gasped.  Whereas the rest of Arbor's room was in beautiful shade, somehow he'd managed to put together an illusion just after the wisteria curtain that showed the sky.  The sun shone down and illuminated soft, pink flower petals that lined the ground in a beautiful glow, putting the full wisteria tree on display.  It was ginormous, going on for as far as the eye could see in beautiful pink petals, sun filtering through it.  If Ayano wasn't convinced that Arbor was a fairytale prince before, she sure was now.
It almost felt like a shame to walk on this beautiful earth with shows, so she slowly toed off her flats, gasping as her bare foot came in contact with petals so soft they felt like clouds.  She heard birds chitter somewhere off above, and looked up in wonder.  Shoe's in hand, she walked further into the tree's realm, feeling pleasant and relaxed at the room's ambiance.  No wonder Arbor loved it here, he was living a dream.
Ayano slowly sat on Arbor's bed, cushioned by some sort of cotton(?) Possibly a plant she'd simply never heard of, and relaxed.  She still had time before Arbor came home, after all, so she could afford to wait.
That is, until a branch grabbed her leg out of nowhere.  Ayano yelped in fear, cursing her lack of awareness. It was a sorcerer's room, for fucks sake.  Of course he'd have defenses up the ass.  She tried to kick the branch off, but with each kick it only rapidly climbed up her calf, wrapping around her thigh, and then another branch shot out and wrapped around her arm, and another and another until Ayano was held spread-eagle in the air by dark, thick branches.  They were holding her so securely she doubted any amount of strength she could muster would set her free, and with each move to free herself they only wrapped more firmly around her.
It dawned on her, that now she was caught in a trap and likely wouldn't be let out until Arbor came home- if the sorcerer felt so inclined to let her go at all.
She tried struggling a few more times, if only to test the strength of the branches- but then they started to tear at her clothes, and with purpose.  Her shirt was the first to go, torn to shreds and leaving her in just a bra.  Then her pants were roughly torn off, and she spared a moment to be glad that shed dropped her shoes when the branch had grabbed at her.  She squealed, terrified as the branches on her legs wriggled their way up to her crotch, and that's when she realized they were being very deliberate in the way they were going about things.  She wasn't going to immediately assume Arbor was controlling them- Arbor had a habit of giving something an order and letting his magic figure out the rest- but it was none the less disturbing as she watched the very tips of the branches fuss with her panties, not taking them off, simply touching the fabric- and then touching her through it.
She watched in horrified fascination as the branches wormed their way under the band of the panties at her hips, as though to hold her in place without taking them off- and then a seperate, third branch came into view.  It was thicker and blunter than the ones cradling her hips, smooth in a way the other's weren't- but if she looked closely, wherever the branches were coming into contact with her skin were smooth, not a splinter or otherwise rough patch in sight.  Like the tree didn't want to hurt, only hold.  It made shivers go up her spine at the thought, Because if they were only holding, not hurting, one question must be asked:
Holding her for what?
Ayano found out seconds later, as the third branch slowly caressed her thigh.  She tried jerking away, get her cunt away from that impossibly large branch to spare herself the pain and humiliation, but the more she struggled the faster it made its way up until Ayano froze completely as it slowly rubbed her clit, only the thin fabric of her underwear between her cunt and the branch.  She flushed, letting out a startled moan, and the branch pulled away.  She tried struggling against the branches hold again, to close her legs or maybe move closer, she didn't know-and as though hearing her plea, the branch moved closer again, this time rubbing in between her folds with renewed fervor. 
She let out a needy whine as it moved faster and faster, only focusing on her small nub, the friction of her panties and the hard, unrelenting head of the branch rubbing her clit had hear nearing the edge soon, and she came with a loud cry, straining her thighs against the branches and wailing as the thick head at her clit only moved faster, and then moved further down to rub in-between her now wet folds.  She was twitching from the oversensitivity, and with every pleasured shudder that racked through her body the branch moved faster and with more purpose, rubbing her just right.  Tears pricked her eyes as she realized she'd just cum in mere seconds from a branch rubbing her clit- not even something human.
The thick, somehow warm branch moved from her twitching clit to her folds, now wet from just cumming.  The branch gently wormed its way between them, rubbing at the sensitive area with no rush.  Ayano whined and tried jerking away, but the branches only moved faster, and she let out a yelp as the branch tried pushing it's way further into her sopping cunt.
The branch immediately pulled away, and Ayano breathed a sigh of relief.  She definitely couldn't take a branch of that size, not now anyway.  Just as she began looking for a way out now that she wasn't distracted with a branch torturing her clit, another limb if the tree approached- this time from her head
This branch was different from the others in nearly every way.  For one thing, this branch was entirely pink from tip to as far as Ayano could see, whereas the others were dark brown.  It's tip also had some sort of flower bud, and it was leaking.  Ayano had only a few seconds to jerk away as it approached her face-
But then a branch came up from behind her to hold her by the neck.  She immediately stilled, not wanting to cut off her own airflow, and clamped her mouth shut.  The bulbous, hot pink/reddish bud came to rest at her lips, the peach-colored liquid dripping down her chin as it waited patiently.  Ayano felt her heart rabitting along in her ears, and then yelped.
The branch at her crotch had returned, rubbing her clit and the folds of her cunt with renewed fervor, and it happened.  She opened her mouth, and the bud plunged inside.
Ayano whined, knowing that while a branch fucked into her mouth and another caressed her cunt, she was wet.  The liquid the bud had been carrying was sweet, and it was slowly rubbing up and down her tongue.  Ayano whined, bucking her hips and biting down to try and get away from the branch's assault to no avail.
If anything, they only sped up their ministrations, the thick branch at her cunt abusing her clit just so, and the one in her mouth fucking deeper and deeper, both drawing obscene sounds from her.  She came a second time, shuddering violently and squirming as the branches didn't slow down for a moment, practically wailing around the thrusting bud in her mouth as the branch down below sped up it's attack on her cunt.
Her eyes widened and she forced herself not to choke as the bulbous head of the branch shoved deeper into her mouth and settled in her throat.  It was so large, stretching open her mouth like it was just another hole for it to mess with- and a hole it was enjoying quite a lot.  She shivered as warm liquid began slowly flowing down her throat, her entire body going hot at the sensation. Ayano had no clue what it was that was being injected into her, she could only stay still and close her eyes tightly.
It was hard to stay still, though, as the branch at her cunt continued at it's relentless pace, rubbing her soaking wet cunt like there was no tomorrow, and it had now taken to flicking her clit instead of directly rubbing it.  Each flick made her flinch and moan, and she could almost sense how much joy the tree took from that.  The thick branch prodded at her wet entrance again, as though pondering whether it should try again- it decided yes, and due to Ayano cumming so many times it was able to fit it's fat head into her cunt.
Wait.
When did this thing have a head?
Ayano hadn't been able to to look down at the branch caressing her cunt ever since one had come up to hold her neck in place, so she hadn't noticed when it morphed.  It now had a fat head reminiscent of a cock, and ridges along it's side that were perfect for rubbing against the sloppy inner walls of a cunt.  Ayano whined as the head wiggled in her cunt, seeming to know she couldn't take any more but not quite willing to stay still.
Another branch came up to continue the assault on her clit, much thinner this time and somehow much less merciful than the blunt tip of what was now lodged in her cunt.  Her panties were a wet, ruined mess by now, no doubtedly tearing or unsalvageable after she came twice in them and then had it stuffed up her cunt when the branch didn't bother to move it.
The branches then began fucking her in earnest, rocking her between them as other branches came to support her back.  Ayano shivered as she felt the branches slowly crawl up her spine, creaming around the wooden cock head lovingly rocking into her.  It almost made her laugh at how gentle the tree was being- almost like it was making love to her.
She snorted at the thought and nearly choked on the bud in her mouth.
Ayano was just starting to get used to it- enjoy it, even- when she heard a door open.  At first she froze, looking to the curtain of wisteria with fear.  Who knows, maybe it wasn't Arbor.  Maybe he wouldn't even come in here, it was his bed after all and no where near night time.  
Of course, she had no such luck.
A familiar, tanned hand brushed the yellow petals aside, and a head of green, curly hair ducked into the tree's domain.  At first, Arbor didn't see her- or at least she thought, but Arbor had a distinctly amused smile on his face as he got closer.
"Well, I was wondering why my magic was acting strangely.  It seems I've caught a little bird."
Ayano struggled against the branches harder than before, but they only renewed their thrusting with a new, pointed energy.  She suspected it was because the source of their power was nearby, or maybe Arbor himself was making it so, but the branch at her cunt shoved a good way in, rubbing against her sweet spot, pulling out, and then abused it.  The bud thrust deeper into her throat and then pulled out completely, leaving her throat empty, and lonely came an absurd thought.  She coughed a few times, and then let out a long, keening moan as the branch at her clit slapped the sensitive bud.
Arbor only watched on with a sympathetic and amused smile, making Ayano flush from ear tips to chest.  He was standing there watching her being split open on a creature of his own making, moaning obscenely as it fucked her silly.  She couldn't help but stare at him as the branches shifted her to their whims, the new angle making her pant out lewdly and her eyes rolled back into her head.  She thought she heard Arbor give a soft coo, though between the loud, wet slaps of the branches at her cunt and the needy moans falling from her lips, she could hardly hear.
Another orgasm wracked through her body, and she spasmed around the thick branch obscenely.  From where Arbor was standing, he had a complete view of her cunt being pounded with the branch, of her clit being played with by another, and the one holding her neck and thighs to keep her in place.  His eyes raked over her, taking in her still-untouched bra, her mangled panties still somehow hanging onto her hips, and finally her wrecked face.  She tried to close her mouth to keep the moans from slipping out, feeling humiliation crawl up her spine at the lewd noises she was making in front of her friend- but before she could, the bud came back and the sticky liquid it carried gushed out of it's bud and filled Ayano's mouth to the brim, forcing her to swallow it down else it would all drip down her face and chest, though it did that anyway from the sheer volume she tried to swallow down.
"They're telling me you've been a good human for them, though a bit naughty before they got their hands on you.  Care to explain?"  Arbor said lightly, still wearing that sympathetic-amused face.  Ayano felt tears prick her eyes, embarrassment flushing her chest.  How did he expect her to answer him when being fucked by a branch as thick and long as her forearm, having her sweet spot abused, and swallowing down a tree's sap? She closed her eyes and whimpered as the small branch played with her clit, flicking it, rubbing it, and now slapping it.
Arbor sighed, and then seemed to decide to take pity on her.  He approached with that same confidence he always wore, and gently put a hand on her chest, right over her heart.
"Stay still."
Ayano immediately obeyed his command, stilling completely even as she moaned around the sap still pouring into her mouth and the branch fucking her cunt.  He cooed some mindless praise, and then took her jaw in his fingers.  His dark green eyes, with pools of pure gold looked deep into her own dark ones, a gentle look all over his face, and she managed to relax even a little bit.  That is, until he spoke.
"Moan."
Ayano froze, looking at Arbor like he was insane- he probably was, now that she thought about it.  Arbor simply batted the branch at her face away, causing the peach-colored liquid to spill all over her, covering her face, breasts, stomach, and even a little bit of her cunt with the sticky liquid.  The branch caught some of the liquid, pulling out of her to do so, before fucking it into her.  It set her on fire, and she moaned obscenely.  
The branch at her face finally pulled away for good, the peach-colored liquid finally stopping it's down pour, and she breathed a sigh of relief- then flushed. She shook her head at Arbor, trying to squirm away from his firm grip, and he only chuckled.
"Well, it's up to you.  If you moan, it'll go away."  He said, sounding resigned. Then his eyes sharpened, and he smirked down at Ayano.
"Though, if you keep struggling and don't make a sound, I'll take matters into my own hands."
She immediately stilled, giving him her best puppy eyes, and he chuckled fondly down at her.  The branch continued it's relentless fucking of her cunt, her slick dripping down it's broad length.  It tore one more orgasm from her that she couldn't help but scream through, wailing from the overstimulation of her poor cunt.  Luckily, Arbor didn't seem to mind, and gently rubbed her stomach.
"Alright.  Since you've been so good, I'll help you out."  He promised, smooth voice calming her beating heart just a little bit. Arbor kneeled down, and Ayano squealed as the branches maneuvered her until completely upright, still held firmly open by the branches as the thick cock-shaped limb fucked her with the same fervor it had previously, not slowing at all.  The dark haired girl whined down at Arbor, and he only cooed.  The thin branch that had been torturing her clit finally, finally moved away, and she breathed a small sigh of relief.
That was, until Arbor took the sensitive bud into his warm mouth and sucked.
Ayano keened, drying to jerk away from his demanding tongue as he laved it over her clit, sucking and licking at it while all the while her cunt was being filled again and again by the branch behind her.
"Arbor...." She whined, voice stuttering with each harsh thrust of the branch into her hole.  He hummed around her clit, and she desperately tried to jerk away before she came one more painful time, only causing the thick cock-branch to thrust deeper and faster, wrecking her insides and stretching her open perfectly.  Something was coiling deep in her gut, different than the other times she'd cum from the tree's ministrations, and panicked as she begged Arbor for relief.
"P-please, I ah! I can't, I- I'm gonna- ARBOR PLEASE!"
She gave one, long, high-pitched moan as she came, squirting into Arbor's waiting mouth- which was still working her clit- and all over his face.  She whined in humiliation and her poor, overstimulated cunt had no success in forcing the wooden cock out of her cunt, the tree simply fucking her through her orgasm and held her hips and legs in place.  Ayano felt shameful tears streaming down her face, and looked down at Arbor between her thighs- despite the fact that the branches had a firm hold on her ankles, she'd still managed to slam her thighs together, trapping the man's face right on her twitching clit.  
She slowly moved her thighs away from his face, looking away shamefully.  Ayano noted, with no short amount of relief, that the branch had finally stopped pounding her cunt, instead having taken to staying completely still inside of her. Her hips and pussy were sore, filled to the brim with the branch as she still gave the occasional clench.  She finally brought herself to look at Arbor, who seemed to be examining the mess she'd just made of herself.
"Arbor!" She said, flushing deeply.  The man only glanced at her face before going back to his careful examination of her cunt.  Suddenly feeling a flare of panic in her chest, Ayano opened her mouth again.
"Did- did it do something to me?" She asked, voice coming out as scared and weak- no doubt because of the abuse her throat had just gone through.  Arbor chuckled lowly, amused and lighthearted despite the fact that she'd just squirted all over his face.
"Yeah, it did something to you alright."
A warm hand came to gently rub at her thigh, and Arbor gave a soft kiss to her belly button before rising completely.  Ayano gaped at him, and would have struggled in the branches grip if she hadn't feared it would begin torturing her sensitive walls if she moved.
"Well?! What did it do?" She asked, glaring at the nonchalant man.  Arbor grinned down at her, the tips of too-sharp-to-be-human k9's peaking out from his lips.
"It fucked you pretty good." He said appreciatively.  "Though I'm still a bit lost on why exactly you're in here- maybe Satan told you about this?" He pondered, and before Ayano had a chance to vehemently deny, Arbor forged on.
"Well, if you came here on purpose for this, I should probably fix it up so it doesn't take your clothes- thought watching you go streaking in the hallway would be kind of funny."
As Arbor turned his back on her, Ayano felt dread build up in her stomach.
"Uh, Arbor?  Are you gonna let me go?"  She asked, sounding pathetic and drained.  Arbor only laughed quietly, continuing to walk away from her.  Just as Ayano was convinced he'd leave her there, he stopped right at his tree, and...opened it?  An alcove opened in the side of a tree, and Arbor pulled something out.
"Ayano, I must admit- you look adorable like that.  So maybe until you figure out the trick to it, I'll leave you there.  Now, as for me..."
And then Arbor opened the book and sat down on his bed.  Ayano could only gape at him, shocked to her core.
"You're not even going to clean yourself up?" She said, focusing on the one thing that wouldn't make her scream hysterically.
"Nope." Arbor replied, popping the p.  "Actually, now that you mention it..." He said, before he brought a hand to his face and gathered Ayano's cum on his fingers, before slathering it on the cover of the book as the dark haired girl watched in horror.
"ARBOR! What are you-"
Ayano's horrified cry was immediately cut off as she felt a tugging in her gut- different from what it felt when she was cumming, though not completely dissimilar.  She carefully looked down at her stomach, and saw Mammon's pact mark right under her belly button- where Arbor had his pact mark as well. 
"There we go.  Lucifer was telling me you were taking interest in magic, so I figured I'd give this to you.  It's pretty simple stuff, just follow the instructions exactly and only use Mammon's power." Arbor said, as though he hadn't done the weirdest fucking thing Ayano had seen in a while.
"Why....?" She asked, unable to finish her question.
"Well, Mammon is by far the most lenient and easiest demon to work with if you're a beginner- if you need a frame of reference, Solomon learned how to do this with Asmodeus and got booted across an ocean."
Ayano felt sobered learning that.  She of course knew that working with demons and magic was dangerous, but... Asmodeus did that?  She must have been making a strange face, because Arbor snorted.
"Don't worry, he is very different now- though I wouldn't test him.  Just stick with Mammon.  Now, I'm gonna leave it right here, okay?  And you're gonna help me with something."  He said, putting the book down on the nightstand.  Arbor then walked over and put his arms around Ayano's back, uncaring for the mess all over her, and the branch immediately pulled out of her cunt and dropped her in Arbor's waiting arms.  He set her down on her side, flush with the soft petals that made his mattress.
"This is a favorite of Lucifer's and Asmodeus you see, now be warned it's got a bit of alcohol in it but only the Devildom kind."  He said, bringing out an elegant, peach colored bottle with a strange dispenser(?) at the very top.  THe bottle had a thin neck that flared out into a round bottom, with a flat base to set down- and the entire thing had some sort of swirling, peach colored liquid in it- with a lot of yellow.
"It won't be exactly like what Lucifer and Asmodeus like, since it's my own blend and all, but you should be grateful for that.  Drinking the stuff they like could put you out of commission for weeks."
Ayano rolled her eyes.
"Can I at least have some clothes first, Arbor?" She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest- the only thing keeping her breasts from being on full display for the man was her bra, and that was it.  He'd already gotten a full view of her cunt as well, though Ayano couldn't help closing her sore legs as tight as possible to protect what little modesty she had.  
Arbor tilted his head thoughtfully at the question and Ayano was sure he was just teasing her now- but then...
"No." He said decidedly.
"No!?" Ayano parrotted.
"No."  Arbor said again, this time with a smile.  He pointed a finger at Ayano's covered chest, and the dark haired girl tried to sit up.
"Ah ah~  I wouldn't do that if I were you.  The tree did a number on your ass, and I wouldn't want you actually hurting yourself." He said, his calm matter-of-fact words stilling Ayano for just a moment- but just a moment was enough.
Green magic shot from Arbor's finger and hit Ayano's bra before she could so much as blink- and then it disappeared, reappearing in Arbor's hand.  He held the bra loosely in his hand, and Ayano flushed.
"H-HEY!" She said, watching as Arbor turned it this way and that as he examined the clothing.  It was soaked from when she'd been splashed with the tree's peach liquid, but surprisingly intact.  Before she could get over the fact that her bra was in Arbor's hands, he pointed a finger at her panties and they too appeared in his hands.
"Oof, I should probably buy you new ones.  How do you feel about green?" he said, holding the wet, mangled fabric in his palm.
"P-please let go of that!" She said, unable to decide if she should move her arms to cover her embarrassed, flushed face or keep them in place to cover her now free breasts.
"No, I will not." He said smugly, bringing the panties up to his face as though to slowly examine it.
Ayano could only watch on, mortified, as Arbor brought the thin fabric to his face and sniffed it.  Ayano may have screamed, she didn't quite know, but she knew she did one thing.
"PERVERT!" She wailed, picking up some of the stray flower petals and throwing them at him.  They obviously did nothing, but it did succeed in getting him to stop smelling her fucking cummed on, fucked out, used panties.
But then he put it in his mouth.  Ayano was sure she'd pass out.
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!?!?" She yelled, throwing more petals at him- though for every one she threw, more simply took their place.  Arbor only chuckled, lapping up the stray slick that practically dripped off of the wrecked fabric.
"Mah, why do you keep throwing those at me?  I can't help that I got a taste earlier and now crave more." He said, pouting.  Ayano sputtered at him, rubbing her legs together.  Though it was extremely odd for Arbor to do, her clit still remembered what if felt like to be taken lovingly into Arbor's mouth and be sucked so perfectly. 
"Hmph!  Just give me the damn drink- and let go of those!"  She yelled, risking reaching one hand out to accept the bottle from his hand.  Arbor handed if over, and then promptly took to holding the ruined panties between his teeth as he admired her bra.  She considered just throwing the damned spell book at him and walking away, but all things considered, he could be doing a lot worse than just teasing her, however strangely he's going about it.  
She petulantly brought the tip of the bottle to her lips and tipped her head back, and felt mild surprise when the liquid didn't drip down.
"Here, let me help you."
Arbor dropped the panties from his mouth, thankfully, and the bra, approaching Ayano with a confident stride.  She tried shying away from him, but he just picked her up and sat on the bed, settling her down back to his chest.  He almost cradled her, a full 9 inches taller, and Ayano fit perfectly under his chin and between his shoulders.  Arbor snatched the bottle from her hands and held it up to her lips, but Ayano shooed him away.
"You're the worst!  Just tell me how to do it." She grumbled, trying to take the bottle back.
"I'm the worst, am I?" Arbor replied teasingly, before wrapping her up in his arms and peppering kisses all over her face and down her neck.  Ayano squealed in his arms, jerking around as the sloppy kisses tickled her badly.
"Okay, OKAY!! I'll be good, just giggles stop!!!" She said, laughing the whole while.  Arbor did indeed stop kissing her, but his teasing simply never ceased.
"I see, I see.  Well, I didn't ask you to be good, but if you're offering..." He whispered in her ear with a sultry tone, before licking her face.  She squealed, squirming in his arms to no avail.  
"Now, be good and put this in your mouth.  It works like a straw, so just suck it out." He instructed, arms still wrapped around her in a bear hug.  She let him place the tip of the bottle in her mouth, and she gave a tentative suck to the protruding tip at the top, sucking the thick, sweet liquid into her mouth.  She was surprised, since it tasted a lot better than most of the alcohol she'd tasted in the Devildom- not to mention that it warmed her up from the inside.
Ayano closed her eyes, relishing in the feeling of the warm liquid going down her throat and through her body, lapping happily at the tip of the bottle.  She giggled as more of the peach-flavored liquid filled her mouth, enthusiastically licking it again as she was rewarded with more of the delicious nectar.  Arbor chuckled warmly behind her, placing a fond kiss to her temple, and Ayano leaned into it, never once removing the bottle tip from her mouth.  She never knew it was so fun to lick and suck something like this!
Before Ayano knew it, the bottle was empty.   She pouted at the empty glass, looking up at Arbor with puppy dog eyes. The man was looking down at her with nothing but affection, and then playfully bit her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, dearest, but that's all I have for you.  Though, it seems you liked it a whole lot..." He said, one large hand trailing down her sap-stained stomach to cup her cunt.   She tensed, expecting to feel the tell tale overstimulation, but there was only the feeling of Arbor's hand over her hole.  She tilted her head in confusion, and Arbor slowly dragged one finger through her folds, coming up covered in her slick. Ayano made a noise of confusion, and looked back at Arbor.
"Don't worry- after a few rounds, you'll be right as rain.  Now open up~"
Ayano was indeed confused, but she didn't quite know why.  She could only spread her legs as Arbor had asked, hoping he would explain.  She gave a needy moan as he slipped two fingers inside her easily, gently scissoring her already stretched hole and rubbing a thumb over her clit.
"I'll admit, it did make me a bit upset to see you'd broke into my room- but once I'd seen what you'd gotten up to, I felt a lot better.  Feel free to sneak in here any time you're feeling stressed.... or pent up...." He cooed into Ayano's ear, adding a third finger and listening happily as she rocked her hips into Arbor's palm.  She looked up at him, confused doe eyes looking into his own, and he took pity on her.
"You see, what you just drank was an aphrodisiac.  It makes you feel good and replenishes your stamina.  That's why you're wet right now." He explained calmly, using the hand that wasn't fitting a fourth finger into her needy cunt to cup her breast, gently rolling her pert nipple in his callouses.  She moaned, puffing out her chest into his hands, and Arbor playfully bit her ear.
Arbor, now satisfied she was properly stretched, gently hooked his arms around her knees and pulled them to her stomach.
"I'm gonna put my cock in your hole now, okay? Just let go and let me take care of you." He whispered into her ear, kissing her cheek as he rubbed his cock head through her wet folds.  She keened, low and animalistic, and tried to rock down onto Arbor's waiting cock.  The man held her firmly in place by the knees, and slowly pushed his cock inside at his own pace.  
"Tell me how you feel, lovely." He cooed, pushing one inch after another into her tight cunt.  She was so small, being held against his chest and spit open on his cock.  He wanted to bundle her up in a blanket and just lovingly mouth her breasts until she was a pliant, writhing and moaning so sweetly for his attention.  He suspected he would get what he wanted soon enough, though, as he finally bottomed out in her wet heat.
With no pause, Arbor braced his feet on the bed and slowly pulled out, making sure to rub her sweet spot as he went.  She squealed as she was lifted off of the bed, only able to lean on Arbor as he thrust his cock in all the way.  Lewd sounds fell from her mouth, tongue peeking out as she reached up to pinch her own nipples between thin fingers, thighs quivering.  She looked delicious like this, and her cunt was clenching wildly around the girth of his cock. Ayano whined needily, and Arbor took that as all the motivation he needed to begin fucking into her in earnest.
He slapped her sensitive little clit without mercy, smiling with a sick kind of joy as she cried out in pleasure, cunt spasming around his cock helplessly from the sudden abuse.  Her whining moans egged him on, and he steadily pounded his thick cock into her.  It amused him how every time he pounded his tip into her cunt and his balls slapped against her cute ass, her moans would stutter accordingly.  Even without the aphrodisiac, his cute little cock slut was so sensitive.  Overwhelmed with affection, he placed a loving kiss to her temple.
Arbor cooed as he felt her walls frantically clench around him as she came once more, mouth open and pink tongue lolling out as she moaned.  Her thighs quivered, cute little cunt clenching around his cock.  He paused to let her finish, thumbing her little clit with affection and groping her breast.  Once he felt her needy cunt stop trying to suck his cock deeper, he began ramming into her again.  Every time he slammed his cock into her wet heat, he slapped her clit, using her squeals and pleasured cries to egg himself on.  He laughed as he felt her cum once more, this time not stopping and simply fucking into her spasming cunt, lovingly flicking her sensitive nub.
 Finally, once he felt Ayano cum around his cock for a third time, he came into her wet heat.  She cried out, babbling obscene nothings.  She begged for more, wiggled on his cock and praised that too, brought Arbor's hand to her breasts and demanded he give them attention- Arbor was all too happy to oblige.  He pulled out once and for all, and hurriedly flipped Ayano onto her back and amused himself with pushing his cum back into her needy cunt.
Ayano was, of course, unsatisfied.  She tried pushing her sloppy, cum filled cunt onto Arbor's fingers each time he pushed his cum back into her hole, and each time he cooed at her to calm down. After the fourth time of pushing his cum into her wet hole, he pulled his fingers away from her completely and latched his tongue onto her clit.  
He sucked, licked, and even nipped at her pussy.  She held his head down as he sucked at her little nub, and each time he gave her clit the attention she craved.  It was only right, after all, as he had made her such a needy mess in the first place.  She was going practically cross eyed with how much she wanted to cum into his mouth, and to be honest, the thought of lapping up Ayano's cum for yet another time that day made him groan throaty and deep in his chest, and he ground his cock into the mattress.  He nipped gently at her folds, lapping into her sloppy cunt as an apology.
After one final suck to her sensitive bud, she squirted again.  Arbor happily lapped it up, uncaring as his face was cum on for the second time that day.  He happily held Ayano's hips down as he continued to relentlessly lave his tongue over her weeping cunt, playfully biting her thigh when she finally finished.   It seemed Ayano had a habit of slamming her thighs shut when she came, and although the sides of Arbor's face were smarting with pain, he found it incredibly endearing. 
Finally satisfied, Ayano slowly blinked the peach haze from her eyes.  Arbor grinned up at her, crawling up her small face to try and steal a kiss,  He managed one small smooch, before Ayano's senses came completely back to her.
"Huh- ARBOR THAT'S GROSS!" She squealed, futilely trying to push his face away as he went in for more smoochies, making sure to rub his cum-stained face on hers.
Once Arbor was sure that Ayano's face was properly covered in her own cum and his, Arbor hoisted her over his shoulder and walked to the pool bath on the other side of the tree.  Slowly, he lowered the both of them into the water, settling Ayano down and grabbing a nearby bath kit to begin his after care.  He gently ran the soft towel over her skin, taking mint-scented soap and generously pouring it over her body.  Then he promptly summoned a duck and threw it on her, laughing as she screamed.
Life was good.

Can I get some Jaebum, in a creepy setting with the prompt “I’m calling it. We are lost in the woods.”? If I can't..well...we both know I can. ☺️❤️ Oh and make it 80s themed.
damn right you can! (i mean come on, really, did you think I was gonna say no?)
pairing: jaebum from got7 x reader (f.)
prompts: “I’m calling it. We are lost in the woods.”
genre: supernatural au; witch au; 80s au; horrorish
warnings: mention of pregnancy gone wrong
words:  5.7k (what is wrong with me, these are supposed to be drabbles...)
.
.
“I’m calling it. We are lost in the woods.”
Jaebum sighs out loud, already regretting having Jinyoung tag along with him in the first place. He knew his more logic-driven friend wouldn’t have supported this outing and yet he couldn’t leave him out of this. Not when Jackson himself had tagged along as well.
“We’re not lost in the woods okay? I know where we’re going...” Jaebum repeats for what feels like the hundredth time tonight as his flashlight flickers for a second. With a curse, he shakes the thing before the light flickers back on. He can swear he just replaced the batteries in this thing.
“Are you sure? Because all I’m seeing are trees, not some bitchin’ witchin’ house in the woods,” Jinyoung retorts and Jaebum rolls his eyes even if he keeps moving forward.
The reason the three of them are out tonight and not on Mark’s rad Halloween party is that they’re out on a search for their town’s own resident witch. It’s rumoured that once upon a time a witch lived in those woods, granting wishes to children that were brave enough to befriend her. Jaebum supposes it’s more of a cautionary tale about judging someone before you meet them than an actual event.
Still he has to try.
“Oh that sounds gnarly, try saying it quick. Bitchin’ witchin’, bitchin’ witchin’, bitchin’ witchin’...” Jackson interrupts from next to Jaebum, repeating the mantra with a level of concentration Jaebum hasn’t seen him use ever. Not even for math class.
“Yeah, Jackson that’s great but it would be even greater if we weren’t lost in the middle of the woods, searching for a witch that might not be even real! I mean she was here, what? 300 years ago or so?” Jinyoung is relentless in trying to get them to return back home. Jaebum doesn’t answer him and keeps moving forward, his boot crunching the dead leaves on the ground as the sun finally disappears behind the mountains.
Jackson chuckles nervously. “Ugh, take a chill pill dude, Jae said he had a reason to look for her, so we’re here to support him,” he replies calmly and that seems to shut Jinyoung up. The three friends keep walking in silence, Jaebum a few steps ahead as he clutches on the book that has any information regarding the witch.
She first started granting wishes around the 1600s, the then-village having a small period of tranquillity as everyone had their wishes fulfilled and the witch got almost everything she needed for free in return. But then a kid disappeared. A young girl at the age of 18, like Jaebum’s age now, leaving no trace of her behind. No letter, no nothing. They couldn’t find anything and everyone immediately suspected the witch.
They burned her at the stake and she, feeling wronged, threatened the town with her upcoming return to steal all their children until the town went down in ruins.
Of course, that never happened and the only thing that’s left of that bedtime story is this book, reciting the legend and a small poem that’s supposed to help someone find their way to her lair.
Beneath the barren willow tree Eternal maiden of the light shall be The ticking clock appoints to three Three of service and so would be But beware the fickle call of darkness Its binds are full of lies and harshness Black and green won't lie to you Protect that which appeals for you
Most of it doesn’t make any sense but Jaebum at least can tell that he’s supposed to find a barren willow tree.
“Can you at least tell us why we’re going there? What are you gonna ask for if we find her?” Jinyoung tries again, this time much calmer and understanding. And yet Jaebum doesn’t respond.
Jackson sensing Jaebum’s hesitation jumps in to answer the question himself. “Well, I don’t know about you dinguses, but I’m gonna wish for Ana saying yes to one date!” he says, eyes staring ahead dazedly with a lovesick smile and Jaebum drowns a chuckle.
“Isn’t this like, kinda forcing her to go out with you though?” Jinyoung claims and Jackson groans.
“No, I mean I sure hope it’s not! I won’t ask for her to date me, I’m just asking for an opportunity to show her what an amazing boyfriend I’ll be!” Jackson claims and Jinyoung rolls his eyes even though a smile is etched on his features.
“I really doubt you need that man...” he admits and Jaebum agrees. It’s been really fun watching Jackson make a fool out of himself trying to impress her (he even tried moonwalking), but it would be even more fun if he actually didn’t impress her.
The girl is hella mad about him and the only person who can’t tell is Jackson.
Jackson smiles at Jinyoung’s words. “You really think so? I can’t wait to meet her tonight at the party! Wait till she sees my Luke Skywalker costume,” he says, taking out his fake lightsaber to swoosh in the air.
“Hm, but if she’s dressed like last year you won’t match...” Jaebum observes and Jackson lets out a heavy, dreamy sigh.
“Ah, yeah... The Madonna costume...” he says in a lovesick daze and Jinyoung rolls his eyes. Last year Ana went as Madonna for Halloween giving both Jackson and her mother a heart attack. Although it’s safe to say those reactions differed significantly.
Jaebum laughs but at least he’s glad for the distraction. He doesn’t have to answer Jinyoung’s question for now and he’s sure if Jinyoung knew Jaebum was actually searching for his dad like this, he’d be against it.
Jaebum’s dad left them when he was a kid. One day he was there and one day he wasn’t. No one knew where he went and Jaebum’s mother was inconsolable at first. Jaebum was barely 7 and his sister was barely 3. She didn’t remember him but Jaebum knew him long enough to miss him every day. And to wonder why.
“Anywho, what are you gonna wish for, Jinyoung?” Jackson asks as they keep walking deeper into the woods, the last lights of civilization far behind them as the air turns crisp and sharp.
Jinyoung shrugs before turning his head away as if embarrassed. “Nothing. I’m just here cause Jaebum asked us...” he admits and Jaebum finally turns to look at him. It’s not normal for Jinyoung to say such a thing. Normally he’d cringe, shoving anyone that even attempted a hug, not the type to admit to such feelings. Jaebum knows it’s a big deal so he smiles thankfully at his best friend.
Jackson whistles in mockery before playfully jabbing Jinyoung with his elbow. “Oh, is the ice king finally admitting he’s soft for his besties?” he says, well-intended and as Jinyoung shoves him away and tells him to piss off, he can’t help but smile as well.
The three of them have been best friends since diapers. Jaebum figures it’d be a cold day in hell if they ever got separated.
But as Jaebum ponders on that, his eyes catch what he’s been trying to locate on these woods. A barren willow tree.
His feet stop as a sudden stillness fills the air. The trees stand still, air no longer breezing in between the leaves, whatever woodland creatures that might have wandered around these parts long gone as the three friends stand beneath the tree.
It’s enormous, its branches spreading through the forest like veins, empty and dwindled, as the last few leaves fall to join the rest of their brothers on the ground. The silence unfurls, the only sound the sound of their breathing, as their chests heave with something. Something that makes the skin on their necks crawl and goosebumps to cover their hands.
Jaebum swallows the nerves crawling up his throat as he takes a step forward. His eyes, unwilling at first, follow down the trunk of the tree to see what lies beneath it. Just like the poem said.
But all he sees is a massive rock, empty and hollow on the inside as vines and moss cover the cold exterior.
His eyebrows furrow before diving back into the book. It’s supposed to be here.
Jinyoung lets out a shaky breath before shaking the feeling of uneasiness out of his head. “See, there’s nothing here. It’s just a hollow cave with barely enough space to fit a bear. We should go,” he comments carefully. But Jaebum ignores him in favour of the book. 
“It’s supposed to be here, why isn’t it here?” Jaebum says frantically, as Jinyoung and Jackson exchange a look. Jackson moves forward, carefully placing a hand on Jaebum’s shoulder. “We can try next year, dude...”
Jaebum huffs in confusion. He can’t spend another year wondering. He can’t.
“Come on, let’s get to the party...” Jinyoung adds on and Jaebum can’t find any more strength to fight back, so he turns his back on the cave.
Until a sound emerges from its depths.
Jaebum turns to look back immediately, eyes traveling inside the cave in search for whatever made that sound. The darkness inside of it doesn’t help him much. Instead, it’s humid, eerie and somewhat enchanting. As if calling him to dive in. As if drawing him into that pure black that seems to have no way out.
Jinyoung heard the sound too. “What in the hell was that?” his eyes are wide in fear as Jackson takes a step back.
“Man, this is totally not tubular...” Jackson exclaims, diving into his fanny pack to get out his own flashlight as well. Both him and Jaebum redirect the light to lighten the inside of the cave but it seems to not work. 
Then the sound reappears. But it’s more distinct. It’s high, yet soft and it sounds a lot like...
Meowing.
Wait. Meowing?
And just as Jaebum has that thought, a little black creature emerges from the cave, the culprit behind the sound and it stands before the three boys, staring at them curiously with it’s big, green eyes.
A cat.
Jinyoung sighs in relief and Jackson begins chuckling as soon as he sees the tiny animal staring at the three of them. “Jesus, man, I thought you were a bear or something...’
“Yeah, that’s what we all thought...” Jinyoung agrees quickly as Jaebum kneels down to look at the cat. For an animal living in the woods and having to fend for itself, it doesn’t look very wary of humans. The cat tilts its head as it looks back at Jaebum and he’s not crazy but he can swear the cat seems to look at him as if expecting him to talk.
So he does.
“We’re here for the witch...?” he begins confidently but the statement comes out more as a question as he realizes what he’s doing. He’s talking to a cat. He’s never gonna live this down.
But as he’s ready to get up and urge his friends to leave, the cat nods. It nods as if understanding Jaebum and then it nudges his hand. There’s a name tag around its neck but before Jaebum gets to read it the cat turns to look inside the cave. As if motioning for him to follow it.
Jaebum sucks in a breath. He was right. She was here. And as he stares more into the animal’s eyes he swears they glint with something else, something more aware.
Something more human.
“I’m dreaming. I’m definitely dreaming,” Jinyoung says with wide eyes as Jaebum waves at them to follow him. Jackson simply stares in awe as the inside of the cave illuminates by a warm, orange light. It reveals a much bigger space than before, the formation elongates into a corridor and as the three friends follow the cat inside the cave, they slowly notice the walls transforming. They grow tall, the humidity in the air dissipating as the vines and moss disappear from the walls and the rock turns to woods. The ground bellow them softly gives way for wood and floor and just as suddenly as they were in the cave, they’re now inside a small wooden cottage.
They turn to look behind them but the corridor has disappeared. There are only walls and a door behind them and the friends turn to look at each other in awe. 
The house they’re into is small. Wooden floors creak at their steps and the smell of incense and sage fills their nostrils. There’s a table in front of them, big and high like an examining table but it’s full with small trinkets, branches of several plants and every kind of things Jaebum would expect to see on that movie his mother keeps watching, The Witches of Eastwick.
There’s also a fireplace behind the table, small enough to fit a cauldron that’s currently bubbling with something inside. If Jaebum is honest, he doesn’t want to know what’s in it.
The cat meows again, drawing the three boys’ attention to it. It sits on its rear legs next to the only armchair of the house, staring at them in wait. Jaebum can’t figure out what the cat is waiting from them, but for some reason, he can’t shake the feeling that the feline wants to tell him something. But cats can’t talk.
“Oh, I see my darling cat brought in some visitors!” comes a wrinkly but soft voice hiding in the shadows and at once all three of them turn towards the sound of the voice. They see an old woman walk forward. She’s small in size, Jaebum thinks, almost like a child, a shawl is spread around her shoulders like a blanket and her white hair graces her head like a cotton cloud. She seems to be limping, carefully walking forward with a cane in one hand as the other hides beneath her clothes. 
Jaebum thinks she doesn’t look at all like a witch. At least not like what he imagined a witch would look like. She looks like someone’s grandma.
She smiles at the three men before a cracking sound comes from her bones. “Oh, would anyone of you boys be a dear and help an old woman to her armchair?” she calls calmly. Sweetly as if talking to her grandson and Jackson is immediately moving.
“Yes, ma’am, of course...” he replies, lending her his hand to support herself and she smiles thankfully at him.
“Oh my, what a young gentleman you are...” she keens as Jackson safely helps her to her armchair and as she sits down, Jaebum observes as the cat slowly walks away to stand in front of the warmth of the fireplace.
The woman, seeing Jaebum wondering stare rushes to explain. “She never was a particularly loving cat that one. I’m just happy she’s safe and warm here...” she comments gently, waving her hand dismissively in the air. At once a cup of liquid appears in the air and the woman reaches her hand a bit forward to catch it. The three boys look at her in astonishment, not quite sure if what they’ve witnessed is real but none seems to know what to say.
The woman (or, Jaebum thinks, the witch) notices their stares just as she takes a sip. “Oh, I’m awfully sorry, do you want some tea as well?” she asks with a welcoming smile and that seems to wake everyone up. 
“Uhm, no, madam, thank you,” Jinyoung replies before he gulps, still too awed to say anything else. He’s still trying to process everything.
The woman shrugs before taking another sip. “Sit,” she says, almost commanding and suddenly all three of them found themselves being seated on three wooden chairs. “I assume you three fine young gentlemen are here for the wishes?” she asks ingeniously, looking at the friends from above her tea. The steam of the beverage rises above the cup, towards her hair, giving her an otherworldly aura as if her white hair keeps moving along with the wind.
“How do you know that madam?” Jaebum questions suspiciously but the woman only chuckles at his naivety. 
“Oh, please, why else would you be here?” she observes cleverly and Jaebum swallows his words because, well, she’s right.
He doesn’t know what else to say though. This is something he’s been thinking for the past few months, finding the witch and using the wish to find out about his father. But now the words won’t come out. They get stuck in his throat, suddenly this all expedition feels wrong and he can’t shake the feeling of uneasiness prickling at his bones.
“So which one of you will go first?” the woman asks sweetly.
When none of them answers, Jackson decides to speak up. “I guess that’s me,” he chuckles before dragging his chair forward to get closer to the woman. “There’s this girl from my high school and I was wondering...”
But Jaebum misses the rest of the conversation when he feels something against his leg. He looks down curiously to see the cat rubbing softly against his leg. Once again her eyes meet his and he’s certain that those aren’t just normal cat eyes. There’s something off about that cat, something telling him it isn’t just a simple cat. 
Then with a graceful jump, she ends up on his lap, paws pressing against his legs as if preparing her bed. Then she curls upon him, her big, green eyes staring back at him, through him and he can’t tell if he’s losing his mind or not but it seems like the cat is trying to tell him something.
The woman’s shrill chuckle shakes Jaebum out of his thoughts as he finds the woman staring at the cat on his lap with an indecipherable look in her eyes. 
“Seems she likes you...” she comments mysteriously, eyes boring holes through the cat that shifts uncomfortably on Jaebum’s legs. Jaebum senses an air of animosity towards the animal and when his eyes find the woman’s, he’s sure it’s not just his imagination.
“Seems like it, yeah,” he responds with a steady voice and a level gaze at the witch. She seems to be taken aback at his reply but she’s quick to replace her shocked expression with a calm, saccharine one.
Then she returns her attention back to Jackson’s wish and the cat seems to relax once more. Jaebum’s gaze falls to the animal on his lap once more, and once again she looks back. He can’t shake the feeling that...
That her eyes are human.
The cat nudges her head against his palm as if wanting to be petted and Jaebum would have done exactly that if he didn’t take notice of the name tag on the cat’s neck. His fingers reach for the metallic pendant, eyes wary, for some reason not wanting the witch to realise what he’s doing. But she seems too engrossed in Jackson’s story as he drags it out. 
So with a bated breath, Jaebum turns around the pendant. 
Y/N, it reads.
Confusion engulfs him. Where has he seen that name before?
After a few seconds, it hits him. 
It’s the name of the girl that disappeared all these years ago.
His eyes widen and he gasps.
The sound gathers the witch’s attention on him again. “What’s wrong, dear?” she asks carefully but Jaebum can see the calculating glint in her eyes. The cat meows softly on his lap, in a warning.
“I, uh, nothing, nothing, I just...” he gulps, struggling to find something to appease the witch without raising her suspicions. “Ah, the cat, she accidentally scratched me...” he responds swiftly, hoping that’ll be enough.
The witch looks at him suspiciously but doesn’t say anything else on the matter. “And you?”
Jaebum’s eyebrows scrunch in confusion. “I’m sorry?”
The witch smiles. “What’s your wish?”
Jaebum freezes. He knows what his wish is. He knows what he came here for and yet his eyes fall back into the cat. Or rather, you. The girl that disappeared all those years ago at the age of 18, at his age and suddenly none of it feels right. 
He doesn’t know what to wish for.
“I, uhm...” he begins unsure, but then his eyes rest on the space above the fireplace. Where a brown, leather book stands and immediately he remembers a passage from the book currently hiding in his bag.
There’s a book rumoured to exist. A book that contains numerous spells the witch uses but also the spell to rid the witch of her powers so she can no longer hurt anyone. A book bound in leather and spells, containing such evil and darkness within but also the salvation for anyone under the witch’s influence. The book’s never been found.
Jaebum bets his walkman that’s said book.
He quickly returns his stare at the cat, for if he wants to be successful he must show no sign of interest in the book.
“I want the cat,” he finally replies, raising his proud stare to look at the witch. Jackson and Jinyoung look at Jaebum as if he’s gone mad and yet the witch’s expression hasn’t changed. She stares stoically at Jaebum, face not at all revealing any of her thoughts and yet there’s a storm brewing in her grey eyes that glint almost silver.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that,” she finally replies. But her voice is different. It’s low, grave and threatening almost like a growl and Jaebum can feel prickles of fear on his skin.
Yet he perseveres.
“Why not?” he raises his chin up defiantly and he can see the old woman fuming. Good, that means it’s working.
“Because!” she yells suddenly, losing her composure for a second. But then she schools her face back into that sweet expression, that one that now seems to Jaebum sickeningly sweet.
“Because she’s my only companion here. It can be very, very lonely being alone in the woods. I’m sure you wouldn’t wish that for anyone, now would you?” she stares intensely at him and Jaebum can understand that it’s a threat.
So he sighs heavily as if he’s disappointed. “I guess you’re right madam. But I really liked this one...” he complains, waiting for the witch’s reaction.
The woman sighs. “I can’t give you the cat, but I can give you anything else you ask for...” she makes a promise, hoping the promise of something grander will draw him away from the cat but what she doesn’t know is that Jaebum wants exactly that.
“Anything...?” he asks innocently and once it seems like he got the bait the witch smiles victoriously. 
“Anything! A witch’s promise is a deal! I will give you anything you ask of me, this I swear!” she proclaims and at once a slight breeze flies through the room even if all the windows and doors are sealed. It’s her magic, taking effect once her promise was out in the wind and now she really has to do anything he asks of her.
And that’s exactly what he wants.
He points to the book. “I want that.”
Once her gaze falls to the item, her face pales. The once sweet smile is wiped off her face, instead a scowl appearing in its place. Her hair begins moving once again as if enchanted and she stands up from her armchair, not needing anyone’s help anymore. 
The three boys look at her in horror as her figure elongates and her skin darkens, bones and limbs growing longer and slimmer, resembling branches of a tree. Her fingernails grow, darkening as her fingers crack and turn in weird angles and her feet drag across the floor, the sound like nails on a chalkboard. Her shawl falls off to the floor forgotten, and the white in her eyes disappears completely, now being an electric silver as if seeing lightning. Her face pulls down as if someone is dragging the skin down but her movements don’t stop.
The boys hiss, covering their ears as the cat begins yowling at the witch, ears drown back as her back hunches in alarm but the witch pays them no mind. Her long, bony fingers wrap around the book and she slowly turns around towards Jaebum. Then she moves again forwards as if she’s floating on the air and with heavy movements, she passes Jaebum the book.
Jaebum watches the exchange in alarm, a wicked grin covering the witch’s face from ear to ear, abnormally stretched and revealing the insides of her rotten mouth. 
“I’m only giving this to you boy because I have to. You can use it for only one spell and if I find out that you tried to steal it from me, or use it to harm me and my way of living, there won’t be any of you left to tell the story...” her voice is low and deadly, like a whisper as it makes the fine hair on Jaebum arms rise. He swallows nervously, accepting the book with a nod of his head. 
“Thank you, madam, I promise I’ll return the book as soon as I use my spell, this I promise!” he repeats the incantation the witch have said before, not because it will take effect, after all, there’s no magic in him, but because he hopes it shows a level of respect towards the witch in front of him.
The witch looks at him for a second, still looming over him in all her wickedness and then she’s back to how she was before; a charming old lady needing some company.
The three boys blink in surprise at the sudden transition but before they get to say anything else, the air around them feels like it’s shrinking and them with it. Like someone is sucking away the contents of the room at the other end, from where they came from. The cat jumps off him, staring at him one last time as Jaebum feels something pulling him backwards and the last thing they see before being dropped out of the cave is the witch’s evil smile.
Suddenly the three of them are outside in the woods again, in front of the cave that now seems normal once more. Jaebum shakes off the leaves from him before he opens up the book and begins searching frantically.
“Jaebum what in the world are you doing?!” Jinyoung yells once he’s up again, approaching him with enraged steps as Jaebum reads quickly page after page.
Jackson is quick to agree with Jinyoung. “Yeah, man what the hell was that? Did you really want a cat from the witch? We could get you one from the mall!”
“Can you just stop talking for a second, I need to find the spell...” he mumbles, irritated by his friends’ interference but they don’t seem too keen on listening to him.
“No, we can’t until you explain to us what in the fudge was that!” Jinyoung insists, voice strict and commanding and Jaebum takes a breath.
“The cat was not a cat, she’s a girl that disappeared when the witch was still alive and this book contains the spell that strips the witch of her magic and I have to find it before she realizes what I’m about to do!” Jaebum grits through his teeth as he turns page after page, searching for the correct spell.
Jinyoung’s left staring at him speechless and at least he’s not bothering anymore as he searches for the spell.
Jackson is the first to react. “Wait, Jaebum, are you sure? How could you tell, I mean, come on, that cat couldn’t be a human-”
“Yeah and at the beginning of this trip you didn’t believe we’d find the witch but look at us now,” he replies swiftly as his eyes run down the pages until-.
He found it.
I seek to rid someone of power I seek to find the truth behind I seek to burn the evil cower The undeserving to unbind
And he begins chanting it out loud. From what he knows he must certainly recount it at least three times before it takes effect.
Jinyoung and Jackson stare at him in shock, not quite sure what to do but as Jaebum begins chanting for the third time, the cave starts to shake.
He stops only for a second before he begins chanting again. A wind picks up between the trees, howling and whistling in anger as the branches dive down to search for the one recounting the spell. But Jaebum doesn’t deter, he chants louder and louder, the wind now almost taking the book out of his hands but he knows the spell by heart by now.
He chants and chants and the cave doesn’t stop shaking and then a shrill screams echoes through its depths, sharp and horrifying and blood curdling before a black shadow comes rushing through from inside the cave. The scream gets louder as the shadow approaches and once it’s out it dissipates with a loud bang, finally disappearing through the air and the scream fades away. 
The cave stops shaking and the wind stops.
And then as Jaebum stares at his hands the book turns to dust and disappears as well.
His two friends are left staring at him in shock. They don’t know what to do or say and honestly Jaebum doesn’t either.
But then a cough sounds from inside the cave. A female one.
Jaebum turns his head towards the hollow only to see a young girl, you, walking out. You cough into your hand as the smoke around you dissipates, your long hair unruly and messy, dressed in a white blouse, a black-laced vest and a brown peasant skirt.
You are the girl that disappeared hundreds of years ago and yet you’re still alive.
Jaebum is frozen in his spot, staring at you and too afraid to move. For some reason, fearing that if he’d move you’d disappear.
Only when you stumble on a tree root, he jolts back to awareness and rushes to help you.
He grabs you by the arm to stabilize you as you seem to not have found your footing just yet.
“Are you okay?” he asks quickly, not knowing you one bit but wanting to make sure you’re alright.
You turn to look at him and once your eyes meet, he knows it was you. That it wasn’t all just in his head.
You nod your head, tears prickling at your eyes from the smoke. “Yes, I think I am...” comes out your rough voice, probably from not speaking for 300 years. Then you turn to look at Jinyoung and Jackson, admittedly a bit bewildered by their clothing but you’re well aware that it’s been hundreds of years since your time and things were bound to change.
You swallow nervously, your throat closing up. “Thank you...” you say softly, “for saving me...” you add as you turn to look at the man holding you up. Truth is he’s quite handsome, sending a reddening blush to your cheeks but you chastise yourself. You shouldn’t feel that way for a strange man. Maybe he’s betrothed and that would be improper.
Jaebum swallows the nervousness that arises in him when he meets your eyes. “No problem... Y/N, right?” he asks just to make sure.
You nod at him as you softly remove your hand from his, now that you feel like you can walk again. “And you are?”
Jaebum face falls just a bit but he’s quick to hide it. “I’m Jaebum, and this is Jinyoung and Jackson,” he responds instead, pointing at his friends.
You turn around to greet them when the one called Jinyoung steps in front of you with wide eyes. You gasp, taking you by surprise and you take a step back, suddenly too overwhelmed with the man’s proximity.
“Are you really the girl that disappeared?” he asks in wonderment and you realize that he doesn’t seem hostile. Only curious.
“Yes. I realized that around the time the witch started granting people’s wishes, a lot of women from my village started losing their unborn children. Once I realized it was the witch’s fault, she turned me into a cat and I could never leave her sight,” you reply softly, eyes downcast as you barely remember pieces of your previous life.
“Until we came along...” says the other boy named Jackson with a boyish grin in an attempt to cheer you up and, indeed, it draws a smile on your lips as you agree with him.
The other boy, Jaebum, coughs into his hands and you turn to look at him curiously. “So, uhm... Do you have a place to stay?” he says but he quickly slaps himself in the forehead.
Of course she doesn’t you airhead!
Your eyes widen with the realization, that no, you do not. How are you supposed to survive in a place that you don’t know anyone and in a time that’s not your own?
“You can stay with one of us! I’m sure our parents won’t mind!” Jackson rushes to say, a helpful smile on his lips and you look at him bewildered.
“Oh, no, I couldn’t ask that of you, you already did so much...” you reply, feeling overwhelmed by their offer.
“It’s no problem, really! And we can teach you all you need to know about this time so you’ll adjust!” Jinyoung adds on and the truth is it doesn’t sound like such a bad idea.
“Of course we understand if you feel uncomfortable with that...” Jaebum is quick to say, obviously the only one that realized you might be wary of the idea because they’re all men.
The other two guys exclaim in realization as they agree. 
“Well, in that case, I think you’d be better off living with Jaebum. He has a little sister and his mother would probably beat up anyone that tried to hurt you...”Jinyoung chuckles at his joke but Jaebum only seems to fluster with the attention.
“It’s true...” he admits nervously, “My mother is kind of a tough cookie...”
But when he sees your face of confusion he rushes to explain. “It means she’s strong. And she always takes care of us,” he admits out loud and seeing your eyes twinkle in wonderment he realizes it was the right thing to say.
You ponder on it for a second before you turn to them again. Ready for your answer.
“It would be lovely if I could stay for a few nights until I get my bearings. If your mother agrees of course...” you conclude with a shy smile and Jaebum feels himself smile as well.
“I’m sure she won’t mind,” he replies, for once certain he made the right choice.

Swan Song - Chapter 1
"So shall the world go on,
To good malignant, to bad men benign,
Under her own weight groaning."
— Paradise Lost
Alan was thirteen and he wasn't popular.
He didn't know why. He wasn't sure. Maybe because he was just not like the others. He couldn't help it. He loved classics. Poems, novellas, music, paintings, he devoured them all. Alan was a lover of the art.
He just wished he could share it with anyone.
It was a rainy day. The weeping willows were swaying in the wind. Alan was sitting on a bench in Swan Lake Park, reading, a massive umbrella over his head and book.
Suddenly he heard voices. He groaned and looked up from his book. It was the local gang of popular kids.
This is so cliche, Alan thought.
The leader, Arnold noticed him. Of course.
"Oh, look who it is!" He laughed. "It's the gremlin again!" Mary and Carlyla laughed. Herb smirked.
"Please leave me alone!", Alan stuttered.
"Oh, leave you alone?" Arnold smirked. "Did you hear that, guys?" The gang laughed.
"What's that you've got?" Arnold ripped the book from Alan's hands and looked at it. Then he laughed.
"Boy, he's reading Goethe! What a nerd! How about we make him prove he's a man." Arnold grinned.
"Leave him the fuck alone!"
They all collectively looked up at the sound of a rough girl's voice from above. Alan was the first to spot it's source.
It was a girl sitting on the willow behind the bench, far above. He hadn't noticed her before. He could only see her sillhouette against the grey sky, but he could see that she was tall and slim and that her hair was long and tangled. Her outline looked pretty. He wished he could take a closer look at her.
Mary grinned. "Oooh. It's the ugly tree girl. Hey, Betty Lou, what are you reading up there?"
"Paradise Lost," she replied with a bored tone in her husky voice.
"Oh no, another nerd," Carlyla groaned.
"Another nerd." Arnold nodded. "What are you gonna do, Scarecrow? Jump on my head."
"I wouldn't count on me not doing that." Alan could practically hear her smirking.
"Oh, really?" Arnold pushed Alan aside and walked over to the tree. "Well, go ahead."
The girl gracefully slid off her branch and it looked like she would jump. Arnold took a step to the right, a smug smirk on his face. But in the last moment she caught herself. And then, with a satisfying jump she slammed her heels right into Arnold's face.
"Fuck you, Philbin!", she hissed, her long brown hair all over her face.
Then she looked at Alan.
He was taken aback. She wasn't pretty. Not at all. She was ugly. Her face was covered in pimples. Her eyebrows were thick. She was scruffy, she was grumpy, she was anything except beautiful.
And yet there was something in her eyes which captured Alan. Some kind of fire was burning in them. He shivered.
Arnold sneered and left. The gang followed.
"Thank you," Alan said to the girl. She shrugged her shoulders.
He took one last look at her and left.
***
"You good?"
He looked up. It was Betty Lou.
"Yes."
She sat down next to him. Alan slid his umbrella over so she'd be dry too and she grinned.
"They can go to hell, you know," she said.
"Yeah." He sighed.
"So...classics, huh?", Betty Lou asked after a while.
"Ya," Alan murmured.
"That's rad."
He glanced over to her. She gave him a shy smile. "I love classics. Faust. Les Miserables. The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Phantom of the Opera. Paradise Lost. Frankenstein. Dracula. I read them all."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I love Fantine." She leaned back. "You?"
"More of a Jean Valjean person."
She smiled. "He's cool too, but have you seen Enjolras?"
"What about Grantaire?"
She laughed. "Oh, of course, I forgot about him!"
For a while they sat in pleasant silence. Nothing but the rain was audible.
"I just don't understand why Arnold and his friends would make fun of that," Alan quietly said.
"People who matter don't mind." She shrugged her shoulders. "They just look for some way to screw us up. They're just looking for losers like you and me."
Alan glanced at her. "You say that like you know the feeling."
She frowned. "Sure I do. Who doesn't?" Then her forehead smoothened again.
"You haven't told me your name yet."
"I'm Alan."
"Fancy." She smiled at him. "Hey, Alan are we meeting again tomorrow? Here?"
"Why not?"
"Great." She grinned. "See you."
With that she jumped up and disappeared in the park.

6. When you looked in the mirror this morning what was the first thing you thought?
« Oh, I’m so tired. » Tbh it’s what I think everytime I look in the mirror. But it’s ok.

My eyes. Yeah, they look tired, but apart from that they’re pretty, ok ? They’re brown, I love brown eyes.

28. You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place?

One on my knee from when I was running in my home and hit an old trunk. That one is actually sad. But the scar looks rad. (I was 19)
And finally one on my ankle from when I was walking my best friend’s dog and the leash got around my ankle without me noticing until it started cutting into my skin as if it was butter (I then proceeded the whole day without alerting anyone cuz I was too ashamed, so I just walked around with a bloody ankle like lalala everything is normal nothing to be seen here) (I don’t remember how old I was, maybe 16 ? 17 ?)
I’m a pretty dumb person, eh
Thank you for your questions ! <3

Last thing I googled: Dagna Dragon Age (needed a reference)
Favorite musician: Probably the Beetles, or Fleetwood Mac
Song stuck in my head: ‘Do Not Disturb’ by Halestorm (it sexy)
Other blogs: One for nature aesthetics and hiking @willow-and-birch, the other for writing @you-will-live-forever which I’ve been slacking on lately
Do I get asks: Not often, just for the challenges I’ve posted, but I did get one ask that was someone saying they liked my blog and I was elated!
Following: 293
Amount of sleep: Typically 7 hours if I’m working the next day, 9 if I’m off
Lucky number: 3 or 5
What I’m wearing: Coral hoodie, black tights with star and moon pattern, and a tank top
Dream job: I am so fickle that this changes constantly... I guess concept artist would be one that’s stuck for a while? 
Dream trip: My Dad is from Ireland so I’m dying to go there, but I also really want to go to Barcelona, Spain!
Play any instruments: I played alto saxophone in high school and I was pretty good, dabbled in piano and guitar, have a mandolin I need to actually practice. Does singing count? Cus I’m a rad singer

Random fact: I’m super into environmentalism, so much so that December 2017 I went vegetarian to lessen my impact on the environment (I had to go full vegan a few months later- dairy started making me violently ill). I use shampoo and conditioner bars, I shop bulk and bring my own containers when possible, I use a bamboo toothbrush. The whole 9 yards lol

Freckles, dimples, blushing (for the happy asks!) also I don’t know when tumblr made me unfollow you? I’m so sorry!
freckles: what’s something that makes you happy? describe the first thing that comes to your head. 
It’s probably from growing up in SoCal, but orange trees make me happy. Lemon, pomegranate, and olive trees too. Also willow, cherry, and jacaranda trees. I just really like trees. My druid is showing. 
dimples: would you rather be invited on a hike or a night out?
Either. Actually, there’s a hiking group out here in LA that does night hikes up to the observatory. That sounds fun.
blushing: describe a rad person you know. 
Probably my grandma, my dad’s mom. I’m really close with her (*ahem* her confirmed favorite grandchild nbd *ahem*). She’s the only one besides my parents that gave me an idea of what it’s like to have a loving, almost normal family. She was interested in me and believes in me. The bar is really low in my family lol. She’s just a real grandmother (unlike my mom’s mom). I talk to her all the time and I tell her everything. She had a shitty childhood and a crap marriage and she would save her money and go traveling a lot with her sister in law. She’s the type of person who would still go skydiving in her 70′s. My grandfather just wanted to stay home and drink all the time, so she didn’t let him stop her. She went off and did what she wanted. She doesn’t take any shit. I don’t know. I just love her. 
Don’t worry about it, I’m glad you came back lol!
