#yes you can pet the dog and the owl bear

[3gremlins]

you might have thought the best bit of bg3 is all the hot, romanceable people with intriguing personal trauma but actually that's just the 2nd best thing. the best thing is being able to befriend and adopt almost? every animal/baby monster you come across and then PET THEM (you can throw a ball for the dog now and also summon him as a familiar, kinda like the cat in divinity! also i just like talking to the owlbear cub, it's soo cute, they added some more scenes with it from the EA)

#baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #speak to animals still best skill #living my best druid life #baldur's gate 3 screenshots #screenshots #tav #owlbear #dog #3rd best thing is shapeshifting like not to be the non binary trope but this is my ideal fantasy powerset #i love how all the forms are useful too #like bear is usually best for combat but i got a lot of use out of the raven in the witch fight #and the cat is good for puzzles/exploration #haven't figured out a good use for the other forms yet but it's early #can you pet the dog #yes you can pet the dog and the owl bear #spoilers #bg3 #bg3 spoilers

somebody in a very long message asked me about skunks and mentioned a few other animals too so I'll do a quick post on skunks and see what I know about those other guys in later posts

also as a side note if you ever just want to chit chat about animals you can always message me or just tag me in your own posts I'm happy to have discussions as well as do these long lecture style posts :)

Skunks

cute little guys <3 I wanted a pet skunk and a pet raccoon as a kid (honestly I wanted a pet everything...) and the good news is you can technically have one! some states (17/50) will allow you to own a pet raccoon or a pet skunk but unless you are very knowledgeable in wildlife care or "exotic" pets I do not reccomend them they are not domesticated like dogs and cats are but can be tame (there's a difference)

anyways some skunk facts;

so their stinky spray is a pretty obvious skunk trait and like the messager mentioned many animals use scent as a way to communicate. pretty much all mammals have a scent gland located somewhere on their body- for many its the top of the head so they can rub pheromones off on trees or other critters to let animals know "hey this is mine" or "hey there handsome.... there's hot singles in your area"

they also mentioned possum and raccoons using scent- opossums are known for playing dead and will secrete stinky stuff to make their act more believable and raccoons? it's their urine and feces that make them stinky

some animals however use scent as a deterrent like skunks do

they are not the only animal that does this all mustelids do (that's the skink, ferret, stoat, etc. fam) and these critters are particularly stinky but don't have the spray adaptation that only skunks really have (as far as I've learned anyway)

both pet skunks and ferrets will often be surgically "de-scented" but usually still have a smell after (I mean... don't we all?)

skunks used to roll with this genus but recently made their own gang called Mephitis (literally means "stink") which has 12 species and includes skunks and "stink badgers" I've also seen some reports of 13 species but I'm not really sure off the top of my head which is true only 4 of them are "true skunks" though

skunks take their scent very seriously guys. some of them will directly aim for the eyes and others will do a little warning dance before spraying they can also adjust their sprays potency and angle and can also choose to spray from both or only one scent gland at a time

(spotted skunk- the dancers)

some can accurately spray 10 feet away but can reach up to 20 or more if they really wanted to soak you but then they have to reload for about 10 days before they can spray anything again

that odor can be smelled from 1.5 miles away! but don't worry 1/1000 humans can't smell it at all and their main predator owls also can't pick up the scent unfortunately for these birds they do still have eyes and a well aimed spray will still take them down

(also the chemical compound in their spray is flammable I have no idea who found that out and why but fun fact!)

if you ever get sprayed don't bother with tomato juice use hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to neutralize the compounds

anyways enough about stink

Skunks are omnivores and some will eat bees aiming for the actual bees over the honey like bears do (yes winny the pooh lied to you he wants that larva not necessarily the honey)

some skunks can be really social living in groups of around 10 and sometimes invite their neighbors to stay with them (there's a few cases of possums staying the night in their den) most of them ate relatively solitary but they aren't very territorial and will overlap sometimes

they are immune to snake venom! another trait that is somewhat similar to their cousins the badgers as they often eat snakes they can handle a lot of poison

alright that's what I know about skunks they're cute little guys but once again

DO. NOT. TOUCH. yes theyre stinky but they are also known to carry rabies if you see one out during the day do not approach it and call wildlife services if you are seriously worried

Baldur's Gate 3 - companion ranking.

Decide for yourselves whether my list is accurate or not. Whichever you decide, please do @ me, bro. I'm interested to know who your favorite character is!

I switched up my usual intro. What do you think? Anyway. Let's begin. This is a list of the companions in Baldur's Gate 3. I think I got all of them. There's so many. They are enumerated from best to worst.

Wyll Ravenguard, the Blade of the Frontiers. Really got a stick up his ass. I try to romance him and he starts throwing out disapproves whenever I talk to someone else. Motherfucker I'm not the one flirting with them I just want to know what they're up to. Stuck up piece of shit. Also I guess he's a hypocrite that literally sold his soul for power (he says he had a good reason…) But mainly I'm mad about him being a fucking diva when other people flirt with me. Fuckin' Wyll… Wyll stans got pissy at me because they didn't get the joke. Well, his placement at the very bottom of the list was a joke. Don't tell the stans, but my review was completely accurate) What? I didn't say anything. I mean, Wyll Ravenguard is Ao's gift to humanity. There exists no person in this world that is better than Wyll. I could wax loquacious about all the ways in which Wyll is perfection beyond perfection, but I won't bore you with the details. Suffice it to say that no matter what Karlach's entry may suggest, Wyll is truly the greatest of the great.

Scratch the dog. Maybe it's just because I'm a dog person, but there's no way you can convince me that Scratch isn't the best.

The owlbear cub, for much the same reasons as Scratch. Although I can't say I have any strong feelings one way or the other about owls or bears...

Karlach. No question that Karlach would take the top spot if Scratch and the owlbear weren't around. As she is the first companion that is both A: a good person and B: not a prick about it on top of being irrepressibly cheerful and kind, there is no question that Karlach is the best official companion (Scratch and the owlbear are more pets/familiars than companions). I mean, Gale is also a good guy too and he's not an asshole about it, but he's kind of a tool. Karlach is a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.

Editing this one in, because I FORGOT WITHERS! Rookie mistake. Sorry, Withers!

Jaheira. I never played the first two Baldur's Gate games, but I understand that Jaheira is a returning character. Either way, she's a fuckin' badass. A regular in my final party.

Shadowheart/Lae'zel. It's hard to choose between the two. They've both got excellent storylines, which are actually quite similar in a lot of ways. And they're both badass chicks. What's not to love?

Boo, the miniature giant space hamster and his human familiar, Minsc of Rashemen. Also often a fixture in my party, because he's funny.

Gale Dekarios. To be honest, I wasn't crazy about Gale at first. Kind of pretentious. But he's grown on me. Yes, he is kind of a tool, but at least he generally likes it when I'm nice to people, unlike a certain vampire who shall remain unnamed... also he eats three of my magic items. Not that I was using them but it's the principle of the matter!

(this is Wyll's true rating, but ignore it because obviously he belongs at the top of the list. PLEASE LIKE ME!)

Halsin. Ever wanted to fuck a bear? In every sense of the word? Well, have I got news for you!

Astarion. WHY DO YOU HATE IT WHEN I'M NICE TO PEOPLE, ASTARION??!?!?!?!?!? IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!

The dirt.

The worms inside the dirt.

The stool of the worms inside the dirt.

Minthara. A giant asshole. Which I guess is to be expected. Still better than Solas. Yes, I know they are from two different games. Shut up. Fuckin' Solas...

The Emperor. He of the gaslighting and the tentacles.

The Absolute. Yes, the main bad guy. I'd rather hang out with the main bad guy than...

Oh, lemme edit this in. Just in case. If you, for some reason, get your dander up about the contents of this list, please refrain from reblogging this to just whinge about what a terrible person I am. Not that I am opposed to someone challenging my ideas, but the death spiral does get tedious quite fast. If you really really got an axe to grind, try the PMs. Please and thank you. :)

[servin-up-surveys]

survey #157

Who was the last male you were introduced to? I'm pretty sure that woulda been Girt's childhood best friend & still very good friend Josh. He's the son of his mom's best friend so came with us to lunch on Mother's Day.

What was your first impression of him? I thought he was very friendly and polite, and I was happy to finally meet him with how close he and Girt were/are, I'd heard lots about him already.

Name one of your favourite foods that starts with the letter "F." Fries, lol I have been craving fries real bad lately and surveys haven't been helping.

Who is the 8th contact in your phone? Is he/she in a relationship? That's my hairdresser, and yes, she's married.

What were you like as a 12-year-old? Extremely fucking annoying and thought she was so random and funny and interesting like no bitch you JUST sucked.

What colour are the eyes of the last female you text messaged? My mom has brown eyes.

Do you like Lucky Charms? I do, but I have to be in the mood for them. The marshmallow bits can be too sweet for me sometimes, but then the regular pieces are boring lol.

Skittles or M&Ms? Skittles. Especially the sour ones.

How many different colors of the rainbow have you dyed your hair? Red, green, and purple, so three. I feel like I once had blue highlights, too.

How were you taught to memorize the colors of the rainbow in order? I think I can mostly credit the childhood book What Makes a Rainbow?, which features colored ribbons being added on with each page, and then a full rainbow arch on the last page. I LOVED it and read it obsessively as a kid. Any book with interactive features, I fuckin' loved 'em. I can only imagine how complex they've gotten by now.

Do you like Froot Loops? Yes, that actually sounds really good right now.

Do you like babies? They stress me out, more than anything. Sometimes they're cute, but I'd prefer to just watch them without any responsibility over them.

What’s your favorite type of bear? I feel like I tend to find pandas the cutest, but I also love polar and grizzly bears.

Bambi, Brave, or Beauty and the Beast? I only remember the last one; I've never watched all of Bambi surprisingly, I don't know the story besides he loses his mother, however I've WANTED to see Brave, I like the idea of it a lot.

Favorite breakfast food? It varies with my mood, I like a lot of breakfast foods. It can be waffles, bacon, breakfast biscuits, sausage, pancakes...

Do you enjoy bubble baths? I don't like baths.

Do you like bologna? I do.

Favorite kind of bird? Barn owls are #1, ESPECIALLY melanistic ones! I love so many kinds of birds though, like bearded vultures, Dracula parrots, ravens and crows, great horned owls, and honestly just owls in general lol, I get SO fucking excited when I see an owl.

What is your favorite color? Pink, specifically lighter shades.

What is your favorite type of cookie? I'm super basic, I really love a good ol' soft and gooey chocolate chip cookie.

Which is creepiest - caterpillars, cicadas, crickets, centipedes, or cockroaches? Cicadas actually REALLY creep me out with their eyes, like seeing one unexpectedly is genuinely alarming to me, I probably will yell in surprise. It's strange because another part of me is like, they're kinda a lil bit cute, but the creepy factor overrides it by a long shot. Centipedes aren't creepy to me, I really think they just look straight-up cool, however they're the one I'd least want on me because their bites are no fucking joke. Caterpillars and crickets don't creep me out at all, and for some reason cockroaches don't elicit any sort of fearful reaction either, I think because I tend to think of hissing roaches, which I may want as pets someday, they're actually quite liked among invertebrate pet lovers.

Have you ever had a dog? Yeah, we've had a few and have one now too.

Daffodils, daisies, or dandelions? I think I gotta go with dandelions, primarily for their puffy white phase.

Do you know anyone who has diabetes? Oh plenty of people, even I myself am pre-diabetic, though at this point only barely, thankfully.

What is your dad’s name? Kenneth, but everyone calls him Ken.

Do you dye eggs at Easter time? Not anymore, but my sisters and I did as kids.

Did you have an Elf on the Shelf growing up? No actually, I was late to learning that was even a thing. My sister does it with her kids, though, and they love it.

How many members are in your favourite band? I know Rammstein has six, and Wikipedia is telling me Ozzy's band consists of four other guys right now, but I have no idea how accurate that is, I don't keep up with anyone in the band but him.

How does alcohol affect you? I get hot and my face flushes quite badly, and it seems like I loosen up and relax more, but I've never really drank enough to see a super obvious change in me emotions-wise.

What is your favorite place to get pizza? I'm a basic bitch that actually really likes Domino's - usually, because they absolutely know how to overdo the amount of garlic. The best pizza I've ever had though was literally at a kid's birthday party at a trampoline park haha, it was incredible, like I couldn't believe how good that shit was.

What was the last concert you attended, and who did you go with? Alice Cooper, and I went with Mom, Jason, and even my little sister, who went just for the hell of it, she hated the actual concert lol, but we all had fun. That was a great night.

Have you ever tried lemon brownies? No, I don't think I'd like that. I love plenty of lemon-flavored things, but not stuff like brownies and similar desserts.

How far away is the closest McDonald’s from your house? Probably not even five minutes, it's very close. It would be extremely short if we weren't in a busy area with a few stoplights between us and there.

Are your siblings allergic to anything? I know Nicole is allergic to latex, her skin reacts very badly, but that's all that I know of.

Has your house ever had a pest infestation? "Infestation" is definitely too strong of a word; two houses ago, we'd sometimes get mice in the winter, but it was unsurprising given where we lived in the literal woods. In this house, we occasionally get flare-ups of ants in a few spots, but I still think "infestation" denotes a serious problem with pest presence.

Is love an overused word? Not at all; I don't think you should say it unless you mean it, and I get that some people don't have that standard, but there is no limit to how much love you can give.

Least favorite band? I second what the person I copied this from said, who has designated least favorite bands? Like when you hear a band that you consistently don't like over a few songs, it's not like you go through their entire discography to see just how much you hate them.

What is the meanest thing someone has ever said or done to you? Invalidated the trauma I've experienced/basically called me a liar and insisted I was a weak-willed deadweight.

Do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster? I'm doubtful it ever existed, and if it ever did, it was just some extremely lucky plesiosaur. I find it very doubtful that it wouldn't have been dredged up by now if there was still one in those waters, and as a matter of fact no plesiosaur bones have been found in that area anyway. Even the person who took the extremely famous photograph admitted on his deathbed that it was faked, explaining how he did it: a toy submarine with literally just a plastic head attached. Just to ensure I was speaking accurately I did some quick googling too, and there's more evidence that there was never a plesiosaur in those waters.

How about Ouija boards? I really don't know; like I'm open about believing in spirits of some sort, but I don't know how realistic it is to believe a fuckin' kid's toy is gonna let you communicate with them, and I definitely don't believe you're talking with demons. I still personally would not mess with one though, just because I don't think even the chance is worth it, that is a world we know literally nothing about.

Do you sleep with the door open or closed? Open, Roman loses his shit if my door is ever closed for ANY reason, regardless of what side he's on, lol.

Where is your dad right now? Probably at work, I'm pretty sure he still works Fridays.

Do you write a lot? Not as much these days, but I still absolutely enjoy doing it, especially when I get a burst of motivation and/or creativity.

Do people tell you that you’re attractive? Not often, no. The only person who will consistently say so is Girt.

Do you kill bugs? Not really, unless we're talking about a random ant in the house. Teeny-tiny bugs I just randomly may see in the house I rarely do anything to, and if I ever found a larger insect, I'd want to bring it outside. I'd never deliberately kill a bug while outside, like that's their home, and seeing people who are just dead-set on killing something non-furry in its natural habitat really disturb me.

Are you afraid of the dark? No, but I sure as hell hate navigating in it, my night vision is HORRIFIC; I'm only ever comfortable in the dark if my eyes have had time to adjust.

Who was the last person or people you hung out with? My mom actually, I stayed in the living room longer than just dinner to watch some Naked And Afraid with her.

Where was the last place you went? Neurologist's office to update him on my legs; even though we now know with certainty it wasn't a nerve problem, I'm still seeing him again in six months to check for continued improvement now that physical therapy is over.

What color is your underwear? Right now I'm not wearing any, my period's been over a few days and I'm in pajama pants in my own house, so.

Do you like sports? No, they really disinterest me. The ONLY exception is dance, I love watching dance routines.

Do you like art? Art is one of the prime things that makes life worth living, to me.

Do you like math? No, I have always struggled severely with math. Even during my last attempt at college, I failed Algebra miserably. My brain just can't wrap itself around numbers and how they interact, even with tutoring.

Would you ever travel to a country without indoor plumbing? Eek... gotta be honest, probably not. That kinda stuff is really important to me.

Can you change the oil on a car? No, I have no idea how you do this. I've never had my own car, probably never will.

Favorite kind of sandwich? Y'know I really like a good peanut butter and jelly, but I don't always want that; more often I'm in the mood for a ham and cheese w/ mustard sandwich, but I still think I enjoy pb&js more.

Are you afraid of heights? Sure am, especially because I'm one of those weird people that get the "what if you jumped off" intrusive thoughts, not out of being suicidal or anything, it's just there, and it makes me very uncomfortable. Those thoughts are so strange, like why the hell do we think some things we do, lol.

Last time you got a portrait taken by a photographer? A little bit before Mother's Day 2022. My sisters and I had photos taken with Mom.

Do you think musicals are classy? YES, they elicit this completely unwilling but super strong cringe response from me, which I really hate because I despise cringe culture; the idea that people should feel ashamed for liking something innocent is completely shitty and I want nothing to do with it, but christ I have never been able to stop myself from feeling the reaction. I don't feel it towards people who do like musicals at least, it's just the content itself.

Favorite type of fruit pie? I'm not a pie person. I love peach cobbler though, and that's kinda close, right?

Cheetos or Fritos? Cheetos, not a fan of the latter.

Peanuts or sunflower seeds? Ugh, neither. I like chocolate-covered peanuts, though.

Is there a profession you picture your future spouse doing? No, I've never like, pictured an ideal occupation for a partner; I want them to do whatever makes them happy. My current and hopefully final partner works in a tire factory and is content with what he does, but he also goes through episodes where he wants something else, but he's thinking in complete realism he's going to stay with Bridgestone for a number of reasons, maybe just change positions, but even that he's not sure of because he has no desire to deal with/instruct other employees as a leader figure. I don't have an opinion on it, like I said I want him to do whatever brings him fulfillment.

Have you ever cried because you were so happy? Oh yes, it is insanely easy to make me cry, and not only out of sadness.

Sugar or snickerdoodles? Sugar cookies are great. I can't remember how I feel about the second.

Which Asian country would you like to visit the most? I'm not sure, I'd have to do more research on this. I already know I kinda wanna visit Japan, but I think how crowded it is would really overwhelm me.

Have you ever been to a convention? (comic, Youtube, etc.) Only reptile ones. I'd love to go to more of those, once my legs are okay for it.

How old were your parents when they got engaged? I have zero idea.

Do you regularly check anyone’s profile online? Nah, don't have a reason to.

Have you ever taken care of a newborn baby? No, I'd be fucking terrified to do that.

[owo-shenanigans]

Hiii!! I wanted to request please 👉🏽👈🏽

Gundham, Kiibo, and Fuyuhiko? (I just love Kiibo i had to add him-)

The plot would be having their s/o as the Ultimate Animal Tamer and like going on some sort of outdoor date. One of them leaves to get something and comes back to- I dunno- an owl or just a shitton of animals all over their s/o.

I thought it was cute 😭 also could the reader be male? If not, gender neutral works too-

Yeah this is fun! It will indeed be gender ambiguous :) also for Fuyuhiko’s idk if any circus’ are unproblematic but let’s pretend it’s run by the Ultimate Circus Master or smth fgxhyrk

Gundham, Kiibo and Fuyuhiko with an Ultimate Animal Tamer S/O

GUNDHAM TANAKA

I feel like you two knew each other before Hope’s Peak- people would fly you in to find nearly extinct animals and bring them to a conservatory, and he would be flown in to help them breed.

So you two were extremely happy to find out that you were going to Hope’s Peak together!

The ‘date’ happened before you were dating, or had even acknowledged your feelings for each other. You were just hanging out at the park together, on a picnic. Gundham had seen a cute dog and ran over to pet it, and the only reason you didn’t join him was because you were starving and attacking your sandwich with ferocity.

But then a lovely squirrel chittered at you, and a bird tweeted above you, and when Gundham came back he saw you holding court with the small animals, giving them small bits of safe food.

The sun filtered through the trees onto you in the perfect way where you appeared to be glowing, like an angel coming from heaven to visit. Your handsome smile was comparable to that of Lucifer before he fell. Your tender eyes are you watched the animals-

Oh. Oh, is this feeling-?

His face reddens and he brings his scarf up to cover his cheeks. He moves to sit next to you slowly, the squirrels running in circles before settling down again.

He can’t bear to look in your direction for the rest of the afternoon- whenever he does so, his face reddens once again.

KIIBO

He LOVES your talent. He loves animals! So full of life, and as they can't speak, they can't be robo-phobic :)

Or at least, until a bird rips off his ahoge for its nest.

After that, he still loves them! He just wears a hat when going to animal places with you.

You two were at the beach, as he left to go get you an ice cream. He wanted to taste it too, but seeing the look on your face as you eat is just as sweet.

When Kiibo comes back, he can see you surrounded by crabs, seagulls and even some hermit crabs. You’re cooing at them and making sure not to stress them out.

He’s always aware of how much he cares for you, but… 

Kiibo carefully picked his way over to you, handing you the ice cream. You let out an even larger smile and kissed him on the cheek. You carefully pick up a crab and place it into his hand, advising him on how to hold it correctly.

Yes, every time he sees you smile it's a reminder of how much he cares.

FUYUHIKO KUZURYU

Y’all went to the circus together! Fuyuhiko made sure that it was one that actually treated its animals well so you wouldn’t be unhappy.

And it went great! The acts were incredible, the clowns hilarious, and the ringmaster kept the energy up. The snacks were delicious as well. Even Peko (who agreed to sit behind you guys instead of next to Fuyuhiko) had a small smile on her face.

However, near the end some jokester threw a huge slab of bloody meat on the stage where the lions were doing their final set.

Now, no matter how well trained a lion is, when someone throws a huge meal toward them, they’re going to want to eat. So the lions bounded over to the meat, playfully shoving each other to get at it.

As this was obviously not part of the show, people started screaming in fear and trampling to get away. The lions started shifting nervously as the energy changed, but it was your time to shine.

Picking your way down through the sheets, Peko behind you at Fuyuhiko’s request in case of emergency, you began doing your thing. Calming the lions down, you persuaded them to go back to their enclosure. At the quick timing and incredible speed, the rest of the circus goers assumed that it actually was planned and began cheering for you.

Bokuto Fluff Alphabet

I’ve had serious Bokuto brainrot recently so yeah...

Alphabet listed below

A = Admiration (what do they adore about their s/o?)

Your patience. It takes a lot of willpower in order to handle Bokuto’s energy level. So he’s really thankful that you’re able to put up with his antics and stick by him through-and-through.

B = Body (what is their favorite part of your body?)

Your hair. Something about your hair’s texture on or through his fingers just makes his heart flutter. He also has a tendency to ruffle your hair, especially if your shorter than him.

C = Cuddles (how they like to cuddle)

Oh boy... I hope that you don’t have to go anywhere because Bokuto will not release you until his cuddle needs are satisfied. This man will trap you in his embrace. His arms will be wrapped around your torso and his legs will be around your legs. So be sure to eat, drink, and go to the bathroom beforehand.

D = Dates (what is their ideal date with you?)

Anything where he can let out his energy, but in all honesty I see this guy enjoying beach dates the most. He enjoys splashing around in the water and having sand castle building contest with you. And of course he would want to play a few rounds of one-on-one beach volleyball with you. Also, he gets to see you in a swimsuit so that’s a plus for him ;)

E = Emotions (how do they express emotions around you?)

Bokuto is already a rollercoaster of emotions so he honestly has no problem showing how he feels around you. Whether he’s happy, sad, or angry it’s very easy to tell when it comes to Bokuto.

F = Family (do they want one? If they do, when?)

Bokuto would totally want a family, but it’s you who wants to wait. Considering he’s already a big man-child, you would want to wait for Bokuto to become more responsible before having children. And of course, you both would wait until you lived on your own before starting a family.

G = Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? What are their habits when it comes to this?)

Bokuto has a tendency to take the exchanging of gifts as seriously as any volleyball match. Don’t get me wrong, he really does love it when you give him a gift. But, a part of him feels like he needs to top the gift you gave him by giving you something even better. Say for instance... you give him a small owl plushie, and the next day he gives you a near full-sized teddy bear.

H = Holding Hands (when/how do they hold hands?)

Bokuto won’t necessarily hold your hand, but he will wrap his arm around your shoulders or your waist. It’s awkward while you’re trying to walk, but it’s also charming and endearing in a way.

I = Injury (how would they act if you got hurt?)

This boy goes into complete panic mode. Once, you attended one of his practice matches and the ball ended up ricocheting and hitting you square on the forehead. He started panicking and told Akaashi to take over for him while he carried you to the infirmary in order to get an ice pack for the newly formed bruise on your head.

J = Jokes (do they like to joke around with or prank you? how?)

Like I said before, Bokuto is a giant man-child. So, obviously he like to joke around with you a lot. However, when it comes to pranks Bokuto would rather play pranks with you rather than on you. Overall, his jokes and pranks are just like him. Big and full of chaotic energy.

K = Kisses (how do they like to kiss you?)

Bokuto will mostly give you little pecks on the lips, cheek, or most often, all over your face. However, he will give you more passionate and intense kisses if he’s either excited or jealous.

L = Love (how do they show you that they love you?)

Show you... Hell, this guy will announce his love for you to the entire world. For instance, when you attended one of his tournament matches and he saw you in the stands, the biggest grin stretched across his face and he pointed at you and shouted loud enough for almost everyone in the gym to hear “Hey! That’s my s/o, y/n! Hey, hey, hey y/n! Wish me luck! Love you baby!”

M = Memory (favorite memory together?)

Without question, it would have to be the time you got a pretty nasty cold and Bokuto actually took the time to come over to your place in order to cheer you up and hopefully help you recover a little. He was a bit too loud for your liking and he somehow managed to burn the chicken noodle soup (mainly the chicken part), but you appreciated the thought and it showed that despite his childish nature, he really does have a somewhat responsible side. Key word being somewhat.

N = Nightmare (what is their worst fear?)

He worries that one day you’ll finally have enough of his antics and leave him for one of his more mature teammates (namely Akaashi).

O = Oddity (what is one quirk they have?)

True to his appearance, Bokuto is a major night owl. He is able to stay up for hours on nothing more that pure adrenaline and energy. It takes almost everything in your power to make sure that his gets the appropriate amount of sleep each night.

P = Pet Names (what do they like to call you?)

Baby, babe, nugget, and cutie.

Q = Quality Time (how do they like to spend time with you?)

Teaching you everything he knows about volleyball of course! Outside the court, however, you both would binge tv shows that you both enjoyed or have a movie marathon together until you were board or until one of you fell asleep.

R = Rhythm (what song reminds you of them?)

Smile by Avril Lavigne. It reminds you of how this goofball always finds a way to make you smile even in your darkest moments.

S = Secrets (how open are they with you?)

There are pretty much no secrets between the two of you. Bokuto is the type of guy that lets you know what is on his mind without even asking. 

T = Time (how long did it take for you two to get together?)

Around 3-4 months. Let’s face it, Bokuto can be a bit oblivious at times. But when he caught feelings for you, he caught it hard. You were attending one of his practice matches and every so often you would catch him glancing in your direction. When his team was finished practicing for the day, he came over to you and practically shouted at you “Hey, hey, hey y/n! I need to tell you that I really like you! So do you want to go out this Saturday? Anyplace you want to go is fine by me!”

U = Upset (how do they act when you’re upset?)

At first Bokuto will try to make you laugh. If he fails after multiple attempts, he would actually get serious and pull you into a hug while whispering comforting words into your ear and rubbing your back or stroking your hair.

V = Vaunt (what are they proud of? Do they like to show you off?)

Bokuto is proud of well... you, of course! And oh boy! Does this guy like to show you off! As soon as the two of you became an official couple, he didn’t hesitate when it came to showing you off to his team. “Hey, hey, hey everybody! This is y/n! They’re my s/o! No! They’re not just my s/o! They’re my cute little nugget and they made me happiest volleyball player ever!”.

W = Wild Card (random fluff headcanon.)

Piggyback rides. Just, all of the piggybacks. Whether or not you ask for it, he will lift you onto his back and carry you from one place to the next. He’ll even do this in school when going from class to class, ignoring all of the strange looks and confused glances that are sent his way.

X = X-ray (how well are they able to read you?)

Like I said, Bokuto can be very oblivious at times. However, he can be surprisingly keen when it comes to you and your emotions. He can pick up pretty quickly when your sad or angry. However, it does take him a while when it comes to more complex emotions like jealousy.

Y = Yes (how would they propose to you?)

With Bokuto, it’s go big or go home. When he proposed to you he wanted to do it in a big way. It happened while you were at one of his national games. After his team won the match, he suddenly pointed to the cheering section on the stands opposite to yours. At the signal they chanted “Y/N! Marriage? Y/N! Marriage?” Despite the strange method, you knew exactly what the message was. You ran over to him and accepted his proposal while hugging him tightly as soon as you met him back in the main lobby.

Z = Zebra (what kind of pet would they get?)

A dog. Specifically, one that’s like him. Big and full of energy. So probably a labrador or a husky.

BTS Reaction: Animals are at ease around you

Namjoon

You are at the beach with Namjoon and he is running along the shoreline, trying to catch the crabs that are scurrying about but with no luck. He sits down in the sand, feeling defeated and slightly disappointed.  You see him pouting and feel bad, so you walk along until you see a crab sitting in the sand. You approach it slowly before reaching and grabbing it to bring the critter over to Namjoon. You set it in his hand and he looks at you in shock. 

“How the hell did you do that?”

“Animals just always seem to feel at ease around me!” He smiles at that and then looks down at the small creature as his smile grows.

Jin

“Y/n don’t go near that dog it might bite you!” You had seen a stray dog clearly having lost its owner if the leash trailing behind him was any indication. 

“It’s fine, trust me.” Jin continues to scold you and tell you to get back but pretty soon the dog turns to you, tail wagging and bounding over to you playfully. “There we go! That’s a good boy! You’re not going to bite me are you? No you’re too sweet for that.” You continue patting the dogs head when a frantic looking owner bursts through the tree line. 

“Oh my god you caught him. Thank you so much! I don’t know how you did it, usually he hates strangers.” Jin looks on at the scene, smiling at how animals alway seem to be at ease around you. He knows it’s because of your gentle nature but it still warms his heart.

Yoongi

You had convinced Yoongi to go on a nature walk with you outside of the city. He grumbled the whole way there but had to admit, once you two started your walk he was happy he came with you, he was admiring the beautiful sights and sounds until a bear walked across the path in front of you. You both froze, and so did the bear. You started calmly walking away with your head bowed motioning for Yoongi to do the same. You spoke in a calm and reassuring voice and the bear walked away from you both. 

“What the fuck was that? Holy shit. We are leaving right now and never coming back.” Yoongi immediately turns on his heels and starts half jogging back towards the car. You hear him muttering under his breath the whole way.

“Freaking bears. And apparently the love of my life is some kind of bear whisperer. Yep. I’ve officially gone insane. Never leaving the city again.”

Hoseok

Hoseok wanted to take you to a cat cafe. He knew how badly you wanted to go and today he finally had free time to go with you. The moment you walked through the door all the cats started swarming you, each one rubbing against your legs or trying to climb up you to get your attention. You giggle and sit on the floor, doing your best to give each cat equal attention. Hoseok stands there in slight shock. 

“How are they so friendly towards you? They all adore you!”

“I guess I am just that sweet of a person huh?”

“Well.. I mean yes I can’t argue with that but still!” You chuckle at his surprised expression and continue playing with the cats. “It must be because they can sense your warm heart and caring personality.” Your gaze turns to Hoseok and you smile at his compliments. 

Jimin

“Jagi.. why won’t that cat let me pet him.” Jimin is pouting as every time he approaches the stray cat it runs away from him. 

“Ah, I don’t know Jiminie but let me try, okay?”

“If he won’t let me approach him it will never work. I am an angel after all.” You giggle but walk slowly towards the cat, crouching down and holding your hand out to wait for him to come to you. Within moments the cat bumps his head against you, purring and happily accepting pets.

“Did you bring treats or something that I don’t know about? Why does he like you and not me?”

“I really don’t know. Animals have just always been comfortable around me.” You continue patting the cat’s head as Jimin pouts next to you. 

“Well, animals have good instincts you know. If they trust you then I guess you must be a good person and I can trust you too.” You turn to him and smile, planting a kiss on the small pout that remains. It quickly disappears into a smile. 

Taehyung

“Don’t feel bad if Yeontan does’t like you at first y/n. He can be very protective of me and he might-” His words are cut off when Yeontan lays down on the foor in front of you and shows his belly, panting and wagging his tail happily.

“Oh aren’t you just the cutest!” You coo at the furry creature and kneel down to rub his belly. His tail starts wagging faster at that and you giggle at how adorable he is. Taehyung smiles at fondly at the two of you.

“Ah, well never mind then. You must be really good with animals.”

“They’ve always just sort of been at ease around me I guess? I’ve never had an animal not like me.” 

“Well you must be a good person then.” 

Jungkook

You and Jungkook had decided to take a mini vacation in the mountains. You were sat out on the porch. It was late at night but you two enjoyed looking at the stars together and listening to the crickets chirping. You could see an owl in the tree by the porch and were admiring its beauty with Jungkook. You jokingly waved the owl over and it landed right on the railing in front of you.

“What the hell? You some kind of bird whisperer or something?” You chuckle at Jungkook’s bewildered expression.

“Not that I know of no. Animals just never have been afraid of me.” 

“That’s amazing.”

THE GAANG AND ANIMALS Y'ALL

Cs I am bored and can't stop thinking about this. Feel free to add stuff lmao.

So

Aang: A cutie. He respects them and they respect him. If an animal doesn't want to interact with him he tries as hard as he can until it actually startes liking him or runs away. Favourite animal clearly skybison and lemure.

Pets: Appa and Momo

My hc: A lot of birds. Lmao

Sokka: Goes crazy. First he always wanted to eat them but now he wants to squish them and hug them and kiss them like a maniac. He likes scales and feathers alot. His favourite animals are clearly penguinotters and fufucuddlypoops but I also think he is in love with Suki's eelhound.

Pets: Hawky

My hc: Penguinotter. That.

Toph: She is neutral. If an animal wants attention she interactes with them and tries to interact sometimes. If they aren't interested she leaves it be and doesn't think about it too much. But she goes insane when an animal interracts with her since she wasn't allowed to have some when she still lived with her parents. Her favourite animal is clearly the badgermole but I also think she would love deerdogs.

Pets: Doesn't have some

My hc: Deerdog. It could also help her by beeing a service dog. Yes she can use earhbending to "see" but it is still useful.

Katara: Fluffy. Everything that is fluffy she loves it. Animals eather hate her or love her. That's it. No inbetween. She just waits for an animal to come over and if it does she gets so emotionally attached to it that it becomes her sorce of emotional stability for a week. If it doesn't she's sad. I think Katara would really like polar bear dogs since they r fluffy af. But owls and fish are very nice too eventhough they don't have fur.

Canon Pets: Doesn't have one

My hc: 2 Turtleducks a bunny a (singapura?) kitten and a parrot. (i will talk about the parrot later on uwu)

Suki: Animals love them. They naturally love them. Any animal just wants to be in their presence. Also loves fluffy animals but big ones. Like really big ones. Snow leopard and lynx. They probably grew up outside since I hc them as an orphan they wouldn't have to do much instead of train and eat so I think as a kid they really loved spending time with the animals in the forests and unintentionally learned how to comunicate with them and understand them or better said how to treat them correctly without knowing it. So animals just automatically see them and go. Oh look. A nice hooman that will probably love me for all eternity.

Canon Pets: eeldog

My hc: Kyoshi's spirit fox and the unagi (if they are a descendant of Kyoshi or if the spirit fox lived since spirits don't die) or a really big snow leopard that they can ride if they wanted to and an enormous eagle that likes chilling on their shoulders (was actually Katara's but fell in love with Suki so Suki baught Katara a really magestic blue parrot that's like really big) Suki gave Katara the singapura kitten too cs it stays tiny for like forever

Yue: Loves animals but doesn't know how to interact with them at all. She always end up not knowing how the noodle that cat ended up in her lap and she also has no idea how you pet a cat. For the longest time she thought you scratch it and still doesn't that you can pet it. Favourite animal probably the unagi cs it is so cool.

Canon pet: idk i think non

My hc: Ferret. Absolutely. A snow ferret. It never leaves her side. And a squirel monkey. Since it is coled at the watertribes it really likes getting dressed up and Yue is absolutely the peron that would dress her monkey and ferret if they don't mind it (ofcourse)

Zuko: I know people hc him as someone animals love but imagine the caos if they did not. Like. Animals genuently don't like Zuko. He would be just going for a walk and then a pigeon on the road starts starring at him and they have eyecontact for 5min before it starts attacking him and he ends up screaming with a really highpitched voice. Higher than Sokka's. I think ostric horses like him a lot and that was it. Fish like him. He makes the water warm. Other animals eather attack him or run for their lives. Fav animal is the ostric horse.

34, 35 and 40 for the world building please please please

How do people keep in contact? Do they write each other? How are messages transported? Are there communication devices?

Well, I suppose there's some form of technology since Artificiers are a thing, but they certainly aren't common, let alone anywhere near where Hallows grew up. Out of The Three Kingdoms, Maethveserine would probably have the most technologically savvy people there, but again they're VERY few and far between, and those who do train to become Artificiers usually learn their trade from somebody from the Material Plane or, in extreme cases, went to the Material Plane themselves to learn and came back to impress people with their technological prowess. But generally, people write letters to each other!! Down in the populated cities it's very common for the poorer people to have messenger animals, typically what most people would consider household pets like birds, cats, dogs, rats, ect. The practice has been going on so long that the animals have all just adapted and it takes very little training to get them to understand how to deliver messages. Richer folks in the cities are more likely to hire personal messengers though, if they can afford to, because there's much less chance of their letter getting lost or ruined on the way to its destination if a humanoid was carrying it than if an animal was. However in smaller communities like the village Hallows came from, where it's less crowded and everyone knows everyone so to speak, even letters aren't that common. They certainly can write them, sure, but when you're a community of beings that never need to sleep and you're at least acquainted with nearly everyone near you, it's usually considered much more polite to go over in person to say what you need to say to someone- in fact, writing a letter to someone may even be seen as an insult to some because it can come off as "I could be talking to you in person but I don't deem you worthy of my time" (the exception being, typically, a letter simply stating "I am busy with something important or literally cannot come over, will you please come over to where I am to talk?", which might still peeve the receiver a bit but they'd simply go over to where the sender is and talk to them in person there)

Are there domesticated house pets? What animals? How are they fed and otherwise cared for?

Yes!!! Nearly every family has at least one pet (their messenger animal), but a lot of people have more than one if they can afford to! Plus, while still on the expensive side, Bags of Tricks are fairly common and make for good pets if you know how to train the animals in them right! Hallows herself was given a rust bag of tricks by her parents when she was only six or seven (they wanted her to have some sort of companionship while she was stuck home sick all the time), which contained a rat, an owl, a mastiff, a goat, a giant goat, a giant boar, a lion, and a brown bear. Those, despite what I would assume we would typically think, are considered commonplace pets in The Three Kingdoms! The more powerful your family is the more "exotic" the family pets can get, so nobility and royalty can easily be found with Worgs, Hippogriffs, and Saber-Toothed Tigers to name a few examples! Any "real" animals will need to have food and supplies accounted for, of course, but things like familiars and Bag of Tricks animals don't need those! You can certainly buy them toys and such if you want to go the extra mile, but since familiars are made of magic and bag of tricks animals just turn into balls of fluff they don't require anything like that, only your love and care!

How do people show they love each other? Are unions like marriage common? What are weddings like?

Traditions for how people show they love each other vary drastically between class, culture, and race, so I don't think I can write it all here at once, but I'd imagine Eladrin (since they're who I write about the most) express their love pretty similarly to how other Elves do, though of course what with the Feywild's influence the feelings expressed and reciprocated are magnified exponentially (to the point where if a human tried to do the same thing in the Feywild they'd probably break down from how intense the emotions are because they hadn't evolved to handle the way the Feywild affects people's feelings like Eladrin have). Yes, I'd say that marriage is probably as common in Eladrin society as it is in Elven, though I do imagine their traditions would be different. Eladrin marriages, at least within Arran Thalas, are typically not an event where people are specifically "invited", and it's certainly not a quiet elegant affair. I tend to imagine Elven marriages being rather quiet and exclusive, with only the two (or more) people's families there to work out the joining of both their families into one and celebrate by giving each other handmade gifts to welcome each other into their homes. Whereas I imagine Eladrin marriages are very much the opposite vibe,,, it's almost always a loud celebration typically hosted either in the town square or (if the couple is extra sentimental) where the two or more getting married first met, and everyone just sorta shows up and celebrates even if they're not close to the couple at all because they consider, if only for that day, EVERYONE around them is family, and everyone should feel as happy for the newlyweds as the newlywed's parents surely do. Celebrations typically last for a full day or until everyone's tired themselves out from dancing, but it's not uncommon for the festivities to last for multiple days, or sometimes even close to a week non-stop.

My BLUSH BLUSH wish list.

For those who likes the game, fan of the game or anything in between, I wanted to share my thoughts and what I wanted from the game in future updates.

Of course this is just MY thoughts, MY imaginations and just MY wish list so if you disagree, that’s OK! You can just leave what you wanted instead in the comments or in my ask box. I am open to what you have to say. So let’s go right into it:

1. Ugly Christmas Sweaters

Yes, I know I’ve posted this here after I made a screen shots of my conversations in the Steam community, but after the debut and full release of the game, we got up to date 2 DLC characters, voice audios, and a Halloween costume bundles. So if they came up with a special Christmas costume bundle, it would make me up for 2020!

In their older sister game predecessor, Crush Crush, all of their dateable girls have the Santa suit options after you max out their lover levels. (10 diamonds each.) Even though they’ve alternated each of their red Santa style suits, they’re pretty much the same.

Don’t get me wrong! They’re beautiful, but almost the same!

So that’s why if we get UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATERS instead, it would be more festive and think of how some would match their characteristics like for example: Imagine Nihm with a cute pastel colored sweater or Ichiban with a horror reference video parody. (Or imagine a certain guy with a Grinch vibe with a ‘Merry go f#k yourself’ ugly sweater.) 

2. A new Diamond Boy bundle!

If you have an account with Crush Crush and you played long enough, you already know that there’s the Darya DLC bundle that gives you diamonds on the first run. (The bundle was 15 US dollars.)

So for this, I hope that the Sad Panda team studio would do the same in this game.

I have a few good ideas about what animal forms it could be before you un-curse them:

-A Pokémon knock off of Cloyster and probably friends with that Narcissistic mermaid on the phone fling. They have pearls that looks fabs!

-A dolphin if an Oyster isn’t ‘Shelling’ enough for you nor the others. Think about a treasure hunting dolphin like Ariel who’s collecting human treasures.

-A raccoon thief inspired by the Sly Cooper video games series. This was on PS2 series and had a remake later but this would be an interesting Easter egg reference. (Maybe add some Arsene Lupin reference to ‘compliment’ the detective phone boy fling.) *Wink wink!*

-I found this interesting when I search this topic but an Owl, specifically white barn owls, with ties of Hindu myth symbol of Wealth and Fortune. I’ll leave the link here if you’re interested, but this is like if Sascha was looking for him before scamming...

-A peacock! Think how back in time when you in one of the banquet Henry the 8th hosted and this was served. This was a symbol of pride and luxury so only rich people can have these.

If you have any alternatives references, please let me know in the comments or ask box if you have an ideal diamond bundle manimal and what’s their story. I would love to know and share!

3. Ideal Animal!!!

We all know how a basic Blush Blush dating game is by now: You found their animal forms, you un-cursed them by dates and they’re back to humans again. (For a good humping DLC d!k pic.) We all see that it can be either a real or a fantasy animal like a rabbit to a dragon. So here’s MY idea of the next animal:

-Marine Manimal options!

I’ve said this previously, but all of the guys so far are land animals. I would understand if it’s a bit hard to do, especially with dating scenes, but if it works, I’ll sing Part Of Your World whenever I want!

My personal options are a Dolphin, Shark, Orcas AKA sea pandas, Octopus, Lobster, Crab and Oyster.

-Bird Manimal!

The only bird species we have there at the time is Kelby as a Rooster.

So for the feathered fans of the bird community, MY personal options would be an Owl, Peacock, Hawk, Eagle, Seagal, Ostridge, a Kiwi (bird) (Yes, they’re called like that in New Zealand.) Duck, Parrot, Toucan, Pidgeon or Dove, Crane or any domestic pet birds.

I would like an honorable mention of a crow or raven but since the first phone fling boy winner is the college student goth Poe, there’s a high chances that’s gonna be our second bird at high predictions. But I could be wrong so we’ll see how this would turn out.

-Insect Manimal!

I know that there will be some that would disagree that ‘ThAT’s Not An ANImal CataGory!’ which I could agree. HOWEVER! Since the game creators broke that rule with fantasy creatures like a Pegasus and a Dragon, I thought maybe we can bend that rule a bit.

MY personal insect options would be a Scorpion, a Spider, a Bee, Butterfly, a ‘manly’ Ladybug inspired by Pixar’s A Bug’s life, Praying Mantis, Cricket inspired by Jiminy Cricket  and a Beetle. 

Imagine the last one inspired by either the rock band ‘The Beatles’ or ‘Beetlejuice.’

-Land Manimals!

So going back to land animals, here’s MY personal options that hasn’t been done yet.

A Raccoon, Squirrel, Elephant, Barn Pig, Zebra, Bat, Mice, Fox, Monkey, Turtle (Which COULD have been in the marine instead, but they’re are some in land forms too!) Koala, Kangaroo, Bear, Frog, Donkey, Buck (Adult Bambi) and Lizard.

I would add an honorable mentions or a domesticated Dog or a Cat breed, but we already have a Wolf and 2 Big Cat Boys on the team with DLC. (A Lion would be a nice option, but only if it’s the magical 3 times the charm!)

-Fantasy Manimal.

I’m not entirely sure cause Pegasus and Dragons are already taken, but would think that maybe just a Horned Unicorn, a Loch Nest creature inspired ‘Animal’ or maybe the Eastern version of the Dragon.

Imagine the last one being true and Scales got a rival!

If you have other suggestions, please share if you want.

4. Ideal Manimal characteristics that hasn’t been done yet.

We have some that has characteristic that defines themselves. Nihm’s a shy, cute guy. Eli’s a Bi pride boy. Dmitri is a Smooth talker adult. Anon’s technology attributes.

So for this category, here’s MY personal ones that hasn’t been done yet.

-A Boxing or Kung Fu fighter type.

-Italian Mafia/Gangster or a Yakuza

-Chef or a Baker

-Artist

-Demon (Unless we get Seth or a different guy.)

-Business men or CEO.

-Soldier or Army Officers. 

-Car/Motor/Boat Racer.

-Thief. (Arene Lupin, Sly the thief raccoon or Joker from P5 references.)

If there’s something else that hasn’t been done or that I haven’t posted it, please share with me what you think.

5. Outfit ideas!

I know this would be like a continuation from point numero uno, but here’s a couple of more.

-Swimming trunks.

-Winter apparels. 

-Onesies Animal wear. (Cuz if we don’t get the Animal Options asides resets...)

-Summer apparels.

-Masquerade attire or wedding tuxedo.

-Pajamas.

If there’s more you wanted, again, please share.

6. MORE INCLUSIVITY IN EVERY FORMS!!!

The reason being is when I saw the reviews on the selected winner from Phone vote fling in Blush Blush.

On one hand, there were people who were happy while the rest... aren’t.

I know we all have different taste of either ‘I like cute boys’ or ‘I want a REAL man!’ but that got me thinking... and maybe if we can see guys in different skin tones or different cultures, that could be a nice inclusivity.

Imagine a Native from Southern America with a poncho or a real buff African who’s passionate with animals.

But what would you think? Let me know if this is a good idea or needs to rethink.

7. New dating places.

Like their counter part, they only have 4 date spots. So here’s a few more that would help change the scenery:

-The Beach.

-Theatre (But only showing the front, not the silhouettes.)

-Revisiting the same zoo and meet their counter parts.

-Ice cream shop or cart near the park.

-Their bedrooms. (plausible having the uncensored DLC alternate versions too...)

If you have a separate dating options, share that with me too!

8. Daily spin the wheel prizes.

Hear me out on this one! You probably seen these on numerous Gaming apps in any form, but if you think about it, this could be a nice change of pace!

In each chances, you can either get a boosters from Jobs or hobbies, Diamonds, exclusive outfits, or time skips.

What’s more, you’d get 1 free spin by daily and maybe get an extra 4 more for like 5 diamonds each. (like phone votes.)

9. Decorate your virtual room.

This is only an optional and unrelated to the game. (much..)

If you’d get the option to decorate your in-game room like plushies, posters, BF jackets that was ‘lend’ to you, you’d wanted IT in RL too!!! Also, it would also boost your intimacy's with your manimal such as love hearts intakes or ‘spend less on items with this!’

And this is all I have suggested for now.

If you have other suggestions on what you wanted in that game or update it, please let me know and we can share it here!

Thank you for taking your time to read this and have a wonderful day!

FICTOBER 2020 – PROMPTS #01 TO #05 – WTNV/FMA AU – GEN, NO WARNINGS

📻 PREVIOUSLY ON: episode one – pilot

.

“NO, COME BACK, said the spider to the fly, but we all know how the rest of that story goes.

“Welcome to Resembool.”

“TODAY, THERE IS THIS: a story about someone.

“This information is less helpful than you might think. All stories are about someone, in the singular or plural or uncountable. It’s what makes them stories, instead of disparate collections of facts and events loosely coiled about some narrative anchor.”

“HERE, THEN, are the particular someones this story concerns itself with – a man who is not large, and a man who is not small.

“Of course, this is only one way of describing them, and not even the one most people might use. Truth is not often equivalent to relevance, but for the purposes of this story it is close enough anyway.

“The man who is not large sits at a desk with a phone. The scene is not much different to anyone else sitting at a desk with a phone, and indeed not much different from his usual behaviour at all, except that he is frowning.

“This is, in turn, because his calls are not getting through.”

“AT THIS MOMENT, the man who is not small arrives. There is very little in common in the way of physical appearance between these two men, save for the possibility that if you ignore everything else about the situation, you might quite understandably think that both of their faces are made for smiling.

“Neither one is smiling now. The man who is not small crouches a little when entering the room, as some people who are not small are wont to do. No luck, sir? he asks.

“No luck, the man who is not large agrees, but not in a way that is frustrated.

“Or rather – it is true that he is frustrated, but that is not the most relevant thing. He taps his fingers, looks to the ceiling, and thinks.”

-

“WE CUT BRIEFLY AWAY from this story to the community classifieds.

“Item: Curtis Butchers is looking to hire an additional staff. The job requires comfort around cleavers and other large knives, but not butchery experience since you will find yourself learning rapidly on the job, and anyway that’s the easy part. What’s the hard part? Wouldn’t you like to know. To apply, head down to the store and challenge one person to arm wrestling. Who you choose will be the first part of your interview. Good luck!

“Item: Ice-cream truck found in the parking lot of Dark Owl Records, vacant but in good condition. If this is yours, contact Rebecca Catalina, owner of Dark Owl Records. If this is not yours, but you are interested, maybe contact her anyway. She has some interesting ideas about a joint venture of sorts.”

“AND FINALLY – item: Base to Phoenix, town square, ten o’clock. That’s… literally all this last sheet of paper says. No clue what that’s about, but doubtless the recipient must have understood the message anyway.

“This has been the community classifieds.”

-

“AND NOW, WE RETURN TO the story at hand.

“…so I figured it was worth a try, the man who is not large is saying to the man who is not small. I have a theory that– never mind, we’ll know if it’s true or not based on how this pans out.

“The man who is not small does not say anything aloud in response to this statement. The contemplative silence is uncharacteristic of him, or at least how people usually perceive him, but then again everything they are doing now is uncharacteristic of how people usually perceive them.”

“PERCEPTION, AS IT HAPPENS, can often be neither relevant nor true.

“He’s going to kill me if this actually goes through, the man who is not large remarks, in a manner all too cavalier for such a comment. Ringing him up just to talk his ear off.

“That didn’t stop you before, the man who is not small observes.

“The man who is not large laughs. It really hasn’t, yeah. But who wouldn’t be happy to hear my dulcet tones? Or, more importantly… the news of my beloved wife and lovely daughter!”

“THE MAN WHO IS NOT SMALL studies the stack of photographs that have been thrust in his face. She really is growing up well, he says, and this impression at least is true if not particularly relevant.

“Although it is very relevant to the man who is not large, judging by the breadth of his grin. You’re a good man, Major. Ever consider having kids yourself?”

-

“LET’S PAUSE HERE AND TAKE A LOOK at traffic.

“There is a woman. We will call her Emma, and I won’t tell you if that is her real name – or more accurately I can’t, for reasons that will soon become clear.

“Emma came to this town just over two years ago, bringing only her daughter with her. Old Woman Pinako, smoking a pipe on her porch near the car lot, would see her arrival and think privately that it seemed more like a fleeing.

“Then she would extinguish her pipe and come forward to offer assistance anyway. They would not form any kind of instant trust, because Old Woman Pinako had been right in her guess, but both are practical women, in the way that you tended to get when you are adjacent to someone who practices alchemy.”

“BUT THAT WAS THE PAST. This is now.

“Now, Emma listens to the radio, hears about the newcomers to town, and worries. Her daughter is older, now, and I will tell you nothing about her either, besides that she has brown braids and blue eyes and a smile like the sun. Sometimes, she plays happily with the dog that welcomes her at Rockbell Automail, like Den reminds her of a family pet she was too young to remember.

“Sometimes, out the corner of Emma’s eye, her daughter bears a different form, like she is not sure what shape she should have when no one is looking. Sometimes it reminds her of the shadowed shapes she saw in the basement lab, the ones her husband only smiled about when she asked, scared and desperate and furious: you did this? Is this also what you’re planning to do to me, to N–

“And so Emma wonders if she got them away from her husband quickly enough, and worries if the newcomers are looking to bring her back. If they suspect what her husband, the alchemist, had been trying to do.”

“THE GENERAL ANSWER TO ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS is that she did what she had to, and will continue to do so. The specific answers are yes, probably no, and no.

“The real answer is that none of these answers will be enough to reassure her, but at least they might help.

“This has been traffic. And now, the weather.”

-

-

“SO THAT’S THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR this coming week, but perhaps there was something you were more keen to hear about. A phone call, perhaps.

“Alas, listeners, I’m afraid I don’t much news for you on that front. You see, there are municipal regulations requiring enclosed booths around payphones to prevent undue weather damage to the equipment. As such, when the phone in the town square rang at ten, and a man stopped to answer it, there was a door he could pull closed behind him.

“However, the regulations say nothing about making the booth proof against eavesdropping, only rain, and so some parts of his words still drifted out anyway, stolen snatches of half a conversation: why did we let you choose the codenames? and yes, Eagle is fine, just itching to shoot something and I’ll report in as soon as I have something to–

“THIS LAST PART is said with forehead pressed against glass, eyes scanning the darkened streets outside, and presumably this is related to the way he stops suddenly, mid-sentence. A hurried murmur, too low to even guess at, and then he is hanging up and stepping out, pushing the door open.

“Who’s there? the man asks, measured in the way of someone who expects to be answered, and the words do not hang suspended in the night for long before a figure steps out of the shadows, hood drawn down around his shoulders.”

“THE MAN’S STANCE changes completely: he stiffens, and his tone is no longer measured when he says Marcoh? What are you doing here?

“It’s Mauro, the Sheriff replies, pulling his customary hood back up, and I could ask you the same thing, Lieutenant Colonel.

“It’s Colonel, actually, the man corrects, but not in a way that is actually meant to be a correction. I told everyone when we first arrived, it’s just for surveillance.

“The Sheriff says nothing, but the silence is loud enough anyway: that answer was unacceptable, try again.

“They’re planning something, and this town is standing in their way. Either it submits, or– you know what they’ll do. I can’t let that happen again, he finishes with an urgency that makes the words sound true, and relevant, and completely opaque to anyone else.”

“BUT THAT IS ONLY TO BE EXPECTED. This has been a story about someone, after all, none of which are us, and just because something is true and relevant to you does not guarantee that you will understand it at all.

“Stay tuned next for the crackling jingle of a blue truck parked by a records store, and the worried weight of a mother tucking her daughter in while wondering what will come tomorrow.

“Good night, Resembool. Good night.”

There are many things in this world worth an arm and a leg. If it’s not your own, at least.

happy inaugural fma day to me, and yes i’m celebrating it by putting out 100% self-indulgent content that is only borderline recognisable as fma because i can!! this also serves as a somewhat nonstandard fill to the first five fictober prompts, one for each section of the episode. i had to contort pretzels around myself putting some of them in, but it was a fun challenge anyway

this episode’s weather (which is arbitrarily decided by which 80s song is currently stuck in my head) was “eye in the sky” by the alan parsons project

characters introduced this episode, for those keeping score at home: maes as the man who is not large (who codenamed roy and riza as phoenix and eagle respectively for this op), alex as the man who is not small, curtis butchers as big rico’s, rebecca catalina as michelle nguyen, ex-mrs tucker pseudonym emma and nina as alive and well because to hell with shou tucker, and last but not least – marcoh as the sheriff of night vale, just because

#fictober20 #welcome to resembool #fma day #fma #fmab #wtnv #fanfiction #mine #the story about you episodes have always been fascinating to me #so here's a variation on that #me frantically texting anthrop: HEY I FIGURED OUT THE PLOT #that was a lie. there is no plot #only chaos

[nightwingshero]

Character Study

I was tagged by @scarlettkat86 thank you, dear!

Yeah...I only did my favorites the ones I’m currently focused on right now. Jane is on the list, but I honestly think three is enough for this. Besides, it’s super early in the morning. 

Dahlia Strong

HEIGHT: 5′03″

CLOTHING STYLE: *sigh* obviously whatever is currently in style. Mostly a dress with heels, stockings, a clutch and a nice coat and hat to go with. Now, I have heard of the women’s suits. Aunt Pol just got one and mine are coming in soon. 

BEST PHYSICAL FEATURE: *laughs* All of me isn’t enough? Mmm...I would say that perhaps my eyes would be the best. Maybe my smile, it tends to get people’s attention. Although Alfie would say it’s something else...and well, that’s not exactly appropriate for polite conversation, now is it?

LAYER 02: THE INSIDE

FEAR: I’m a Shelby, we don’t fear anything. But if I had to choose...losing my family and those dear to me. Our family is very close, don’t fuck with us, dear.

TO BE LOVED OR RESPECTED: Respected. People don’t listen to you if they don’t respect you, my dear. Make sure they know who the boss is. 

BEAUTY OR BRAINS: What’s wrong with having both? That’s where the power lies, dear. Always choose both.

DOGS OR CATS: I have a cat, but I also adore dogs. They’re very cute, and good to keep around the house in case of protection.

Wren Blake

LAYER 01: THE OUTSIDE

NAME: Wren Marie Blake

EYE COLOUR: Blue green, they kinda change. 

HAIR STYLE / COLOUR: My hair is black. I either keep it in a ponytail because it’s easier, but I also wear it down, too.
