𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓮’𝓼 𝓓𝓪𝔂 𝔀/ 𝓣𝓸𝓴𝔂𝓸 𝓡𝓮𝓿 𝓑𝓸𝔂𝓼~

A/n: per requested from you lovelies, hope everyone has a great V-Day and even if you don’t have a valentine I’LL BE YOUR VALENTINE >:) along w these boys! Pt. 2 will be uploaded tmrw! (this is f!reader btw) hope yall enjoy & pls excuse the typos n all

Hanma isn’t one for celebrating big on holidays. Though he will make the exception if it’s with you. And if you’re really big on valentine’s, Hanma will make sure that you get whatever you want! He’ll make sure that the night you spend is an unforgettable one! So he kinda hints to you that you’ll be doing something together that day. But Hanma himself isn’t sure, he kinda just wings it tbh bc he’s a “spur” in the moment kinda guy. Hanma comes to your doorstep with cute little necklaces that have rings w/ engravings in it that are either super cheesy or an inside joke yall have. Hanma takes you for a ride on his motorcycle and you both end up at a secluded area that’s got a nice view of hills or a lake. But on the way over, he had placed rose petal trails which then leads to a small picnic with a tent bc he wants to camp there with you that night.

Baji. Baji. Baji. He isn’t one who LOVES v-day, but he does look forward to the way your eyes light up whenever you both pass by all the cute decor, flowers, cards etc at stores. Baji never fails to give you the world on v-day. Though he does it on any other day, but on the 14th he makes sure to remind you that he loves you immensely in his own way. Valentine’s Day with Baji consists of a breakfast date, with him handing you a bouquet of (whatever your favorite thing is) along with a little shadow box he made with little photos and trinkets of things you did together. Baji likes to shower you extra with compliments and will not hesitate to be your personal photographer that day bc you look so cute dressed up all for him. You guys both alternate with activities so in the afternoon, you’ll spoil Baji a bit and take him shopping for some clothes that he’s been wanting for a while. After, you’ll share an ice cream and feed him bc he lowkey loves it when you pamper him. Baji enjoys your company out all the things you can do for him, so taking him to the movies or maybe even a fight club?? When he receives your gift, which is a cd with an album cover of you two that contains a playlist of songs you both like he is swooning! The night would end with you both taking a night walk somewhere and just cuddling up on a bench and maybe having a nice makeout session and listening to the cd together >:) Baji loves being covered in your lipstick!

MIKEY loves valentine’s day because of all the snacks and treats that come with it. He isn’t one to love the aesthetic of it but he’ll be happy if it’s something that involves pastries. And that’s what it’s alllllll about lmao. Every year you mix it up and like to surprise him with foreign pastries but also will handmake him some because you want it to have some meaning to it. And Mikey is a sucker for it. Especially if it comes out wonky. It makes his heart swell because he knows that you worked super hard on it and he’ll devour it and leave no crumbs. “That was so delicious love! You should make these again some day!” Mikey is extra sweet on V-day and is very clingly and will snuggle you and smother you with kisses. “I just love you so much baby, you’re the cutest I wish I could keep you in my pocket forever.” Mikey also loves giving you cheesy love cards (like the meme formatted ones) and will leave some hidden around the house. Maybe like a couple weeks before the actual day he’ll find time and hide them and will act clueless about them. “Oh I wonder who put that there... seems he really wants you to be his valentine haha...” Mikey sees how hard you work on the pastries you make him and he decides to return the favor by making you something too. So he goes to those stores where he picks out a stuffed animal and customizes it in a way that reminds him of you. (The way you dress, accessories, etc) and will have a little recorded message inside that is him reminding you that he loves you a ton!

Chifuyu is always a nervous wreck the first week and a half of Feb. And that’s because he always tries to make this valentine’s better than the last. And he’s very keen on making each one extraordinary because he believes that his princess deserves the entire universe and all the good it has to offer. He’s so romantic, it makes Baji and Kazutora gag a little bit, but they’re always willing to help him with his endeavors. Chifuyu likes to gift you small meaningful gifts but also loves to go along with traditional gifts too. He will definitely gift you one of his hoodies that you love wearing and will spray it with cologne. He also will write you love letters about your first date, kiss, sex, etc. And he waits until you’re together to read it to you and it’s so cute because he’s literally shaking and sweating and stuttering bc it’s you and you’re looking all cute there just looking at him with heart eyes and he doesn’t know what to do with himself. Though after reassuring him with some kisses, Chifuyu is so happy to know that you loved every bit of his gifts. The day is spent with you going somewhere you haven’t been to and so yall decide to try rollerskating together! The entire time you’re both losing balance and falling over each other but it’s worth it because Chifuyu will always take the fall first so he’s your personal pillow <3 after you both start to get the hang of it, you’ll skate around while holding each others hands. Sometimes Chifuyu will glance at you and blush after realizing that you’ve been staring at his beautiful face first! Afterwards the night ends with you and him watching movies together with his mom because you both love her and want her to have a special valentines day too <3

Yippie!!

My 2000s AU:

•Micky was a former scene kid in the early 2000s, and he still has two semi-long faded side tails. He hasn’t gotten rid of them yet because he things their cool, so he just has very curly hair and then medium sized straight side tails

•Micky, Davy, Peter enjoy watching Total Drama Island, 6teen, and That 70s Show together. Mike enjoys the office more, but he occasionally watches the other shows sometimes

•Micky and Coco went to Woodstock 1999. They left very early Sunday, so they didn’t get to witness the fires and chaos that happened later Sunday night

•Micky’s family dog, You, died in 2004. He got a cat when he moved into the Pad, and he named it ‘You’ after his old dog

•Peter is OBSESSED with sea animals and the ocean in general. He has a sea creatures calendar, dolphins Lisa Frank posters all over his room, jellyfish jewelry(made of plastic because Peter doesn’t like the feel or smell of metal), he has wind chimes that has ocean as the theme, he even has watched H2O, Just Add Water over and over again

•Mike has a very minimalist room. The fanciest thing he has is a Tiffany style lamp for his night stand lamp

•A very different aesthetic to Mike, Micky is a maxamlalist and has a lot of stuff in his room. He has futuristic posters, a Garfield lava lamp, one of those inflatable chairs, a transparent computer and mouse, ect

•Davy had tried a DIY hairstyle and failed, so now the ends of his hair is curled and it’s been like that for a long while. He honestly thinks it’s never going to go back to normal

•They all go out and shop for records, cassettes, and CDS. Micky usually gets Britney Spears, Eminem, and Sir-Mix-Alot, Davy gets Boa, the Beatles, and Queen, Mike doesn’t get a lot, maybe some Elvis, Peter usually gets Disney sound tracks

•Micky likes to explore on the internet, like ARG’s, random websites, chain mail, and the ‘creepy’ side of Youtube(Y’know that whole meme in the late 2000s and 2010s about creepy sides of YT? Yeah stuff like that)

•Micky has a lot of things decorating his car, like car fresheners hanging from his rear/view mirror, random bobbly heads on his dashboard, one of those steering wheel covers

•Peter enjoys to sit in silence with Mike. He can be sewing while Mike is reading, he can be baking while Mike watches him, in general Peter just likes to spend some quiet time with Mike

•Mike is allergic to soy and peaches

•Mike hates strong smells. He usually takes Davys care because Micky usually has lingering strong smells from car fresheners. He also has to stay away from anyone who puts on perfume because if he doesn’t he will either freak out in an amount of time or will begin to have a sort of reaction to the smell

Monster Monkees:

•Mike can hear other shadows talking and random whispers of peoples shadows. He doesn’t know that they’re other shadows, and he thinks he’s insane. He gets very overwhelmed with them and he usually has to get out of the shadows to get away from the sounds

•Mike usually scratches his semi-solid form, creating light to emit from him. It’s basically like him banging his head against the wall, because light can make him weak

•Micky’s arms and legs fade to blue at the ends. So his arm and legs are like green, turquoise, then blue

•Davy has to eat alone, because both Peter and Mike are queasy about blood. Micky doesn’t care because he eats raw fish

•Micky’s favorite foods are raw salmon and cod, fish tacos, mango smoothies, and sushi

•Davy turns into his bat form when he’s either scared or shy of things, usually people

•Micky’s eyes are pitch black, easy for him to see in the dark

•Micky has both gills and lungs

•Peter has thorns going up his arms, legs, and neck. They usually puncture his skin and cause him to bleed, but he’s used to it so he doesn’t mind. He clips them weekly though. He also doesn’t like long nails so Davy and Micky file and clip their nails down

•Mikes lower body trails off and fades into the air. As well as his body can either grow stronger or weaker depending on the light

•Peter likes to grow patterns in leaves, flowers, and trees. Peter: Micky look! I put hearts in this leaf!!

•Micky once got so stuck and tangled in fishers nets and hooks that his fins and lower legs almost got cut off. Davy was able to get him out(both peter and Mike can’t get in water) and Micky had to wear bandages for months. He still limps on that leg when he’s on land

•Mike doesn’t have any lights in his and Micky’s rooms due to being weak in light. Micky doesn’t mind because he can see in the dark

•Usually Mike has breakdowns or freak outs because of the voices, and he always asks Micky if he can hear them too. Micky never knows what he’s talking about, and it usually freaks Micky out when Mike asks him because Mike is genuinely fearful of the other shadows voices

•Davy has pre-mature wings, causing his flight to be impaired and it’s difficult for him to fly in his bat form

•Peter has to sometimes cut off dead plants from his skin, but he doesn’t enjoy it because the plants are literally attached to his body. Same goes for fall and winter, when the plants are dying on his body

I know it’s a lot but they have been in my mind for a while lol. I hope you enjoy 😋

SO MANY THINGS FOR ME TO READ I LOVE READING THINGIES!! MICKY DEFINITELY WOULD'VE BEEN A SCENE KID HOLY SHIT that's so on point. He definitely had his straight hair era at that point. Fried as fuck from straightening and like 20 cans of hair spray just to get it all down I know that shit crunched like a dead leaf.

Also I totally agree with Mike being super sensitive to strong smells, it's the same way in my canon. It causes big sensory overload especially if there's other stuff going on in the room (people talking, bright lights, general noises) and people usually think he's weird for his several sensitivities so he tries to just hide them but sometimws it can end up in meltdowns or just totally shutting down and going nonverbal due to the overload.

TJOSE THREE DEFINITELY WOULD'VE LOVED TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND they would definitely rope mike into it at some point

#asks #davidjoneslockeer #mike hearing voices...it goes very in hand wth my canon where he has lots of hallucinations due to unchecked ptsd .so real

I wanna ask where the racist assumption associating indigenous people with wolf where that come from

I literally have no idea. Afaik it's not from any one specific source, but might be an amalgamation of ideas over time to associate Native Americans with specifically dogs (& by extension, wolves) when dehumanizating us. I think there is some associations with wolves that come from many Native beliefs (as many Native people think wolves are sacred, & feature prominently in our legends) that Europeans & White settlers decided to take & use to demonize us. I can see the association appearing possibly due to some of the following historical contexts, but this is just me hypothesizing, just my opinion, & I could be wrong:

The general Noble Savage idea that Native Americans were/are subhuman at best, & we're what "untamed humans" apparently looked like. We were closer to animals than humans to them. Dogs are also something you can tame & train, & assimilation is one way White people wanted to "tame" Native people, & thought that Manifest Destiny would be them "taming" Turtle Island, so maybe the thinking was similar. This in addition to thinking of Native people as wild, dangerous, scary, etc, so therefore they chose dogs/wolves to help represent that idea.

Wolves in the U.K had largely become extinct in the 16th century, which lines up at around the time colonization of the Americas started really taking off & Britain & colonizers from the UK entering the picture. Wolves were seen as a nuisance & dangerous & scary, & so they thought it better to kill them. You can see similar sentiments regarding Native Americans being deemed as scary, a danger to Whites, inconvenient regarding settlement & trying to replace bison or Native animals with European livestock, AND all that in addition to many Native American tribes thinking wolves are good.

Most dog breeds Native to North America that Native people worked with & lived alongside went extinct as a result of colonization, such as the Salish wool dog & the Chiribara dog. Settlers obviously wanted to do the same to us, so they could've made the connection to dogs as a reference to this. There's also events in which settlers would kill our dogs to try kill or assimilate US, such as the Canadian government mass killing Inuit sled dogs

Racist science, the idea that humans are like "dog breeds", & the creation of the Métis slur "halfbreed". This really helped to cement the association of Native people with dogs in particular, because it implies Métis & Native people are dogs & referring to us by that terminology. The things above may have helped to be the precursor (or maybe THIS was), I'm not sure, but again this definitely cemented it

This would be a bit more recent, but like the bastardization & fetishization of Native culture & representation in media. It is true that many Native Nations think wolves are sacred & they play a prominent part in many of our cultures & spiritualities, but this isn't represented accurately or respectfully by many white people, so you get things like the stupid "two wolves inside of you" meme or those weird paintings of Indian maidens hanging out with random wolves, & so on. It's the fetishization of our culture plus mixing that in with White ppl thinking wolves are cool, so they just mesh them together however they want, & this helps to support the more negative associations of Native people with dogs & wolves (like the halfbreed slur)

I havent really been able to find scholarly research done on this or anything, & it's one of those things that aren't really talked about or looked into, but it's there. Maybe we'd be able to find more concrete answers if there wrre more research done on it, but for now the above can just be speculation. It's really common for oppressed groups to be compared to animals for dehumanization, often with specific animals to reinforce racist ideas or to justify their oppression, but why Native people are called dogs in particular I'm not entirely sure.

Seeing you’re doing matchups! Mind if I slid in?

Trigun (any of them) and Demon Slayer if you don’t mind! You can chose what you’d like headcannons or what of it! Honestly it’s been a while since I’ve seen someone doing match ups! Have a great day/night!!

I’m 5’5”, 23 years old w/ Green eyes I’ve got light brunette hair to the top of my shoulder blades (Needs cut so bad lol). I’m a nice laid back type of person who can take some shit but has no issue handing it right back, also typically blunt & to the point I don’t like sugar coating things. I’m usually seen in a black tank top w/ a black leather jacket, blue jeans & steel toe boots w/ aviator sunglasses. I love napping, I’m not great with kids but have no issue playing with them. All for bad puns, I’m good with my hands, Sarcastic, witty, I don’t mind play flirting; in fact you flirt with me I’ll come back 2x harder. I’m knowing for being a daredevil! I’m very competitive & fun loving. Highly independent always ready to protect/fight (get called guard dog a lot 😅). I love Space, gaming, animals, music, & plants namely pothos I’ve got 6 of them!

I'm so glad you came to my askbox!! Yes yes yes lets get you some matches!!!

For Trigun Stampede I for SURE see you with that version of Wolfwood! He acts flirty and like he's a top, and then just melts when you flirt back. He loves your style, and totally will get you matching sunglasses. He very much enters Protecc Mode whenever he sees you doing stupid shit, like riding a Thompson backwards with a blindfold. he sees you and Vash doing the dumbest shit together and regrets all life choices he has ever made, but mainly introducing you two.

For Trigun Maximum? Oh my lord is it Livio. He just fawns over you and is a big teddy bear! He loves all your comebacks, sometimes he writes down the really good ones so he can read them when he's away. More than once he has had to choke down laughter because all he can think about is what you would say to Knives or the doctor if you heard them speak. Zazie finds this very amusing. Livio also goes into protect mode when he sees you doing dumb stuff, and he just scoops you up to stop you from doing whatever it is. He's also a big fan of holding you.

Trigun 98? Milly 100%. Big gf small gf dynamic. Encourages you to do stupid stuff because she will absolutely do it with you. Meryl is constantly having to bail Milly out because she had to bail you out and somehow you both got kidnapped in the process? Milly also loves your style, and really gets into more cottagecore looks because of you! She likes it when people are surprised you two are together, because then she goes "I know right? I never thought I was into girls!! :)". You were totally her formal queer awakening. She loves showing you how to use her gun too!!

Demon Slayer? I'd say Shinobu!! You both are very short and everyone underestimates you constantly. Shinobu would definitely encourage you to do dumb shit, and then tease you if you got hurt/ embarrassed yourself. Since you're a plant nut, you start figuring out what attracts her favorite types of butterflies to the estate, and start propagating those. The two of you raise bees together and discover that honey harvested from wisteria pollen and nectar can help heal wounds from blood demon arts. If you were a slayer, you'd have your own breath style called Nature breathing, like a mix of Flower, Beast, and Insect breathing. You and Shinobu are like, that meme of the smug cat but two of them. You convince her to find an alternate route to killing Douma, and learn you can train the bees to sting demons ;). She loves being the little spoon! She also finds your style odd, but eventually gifts you a pothos-leaf haori for you to wear.

I hope you like!!!!

For the latest ask game: F, K, P, U!

(From this ask meme HERE)

Thanks for the ask, Shreedle!!! Always love your asks!

F. What's the longest you've ever been in a fandom?

That depends on what we mean by "been in a fandom". If we simply mean enjoying/watching a series then my two longest fandoms are Sailor Moon/Pokemon. If we mean creating content for it then my longest fandom is SDR2 (since 2016).

K. What character has your favourite development arc/the best development arc?

I think Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket has my favourite character development of all time. Picture this: it's early 2000s shoujo anime/manga. Your main heroine is supposed to be sweet, innocent, and kind. She's supposed to be caring, giving, and compassionate. When she meets her brooding love interest it's supposed to be her love, warmth, and giving of herself that wins him over.

Tohru Honda takes these tropes and turns them on their head. Now, originally the audience is met with the heroine I just described. However, as Fruits Basket goes along it cracks open the tropes by lacing them with one of the underlying themes of the series: Change is scary but we have to embrace it. Wishing for eternity will only lead to rot and decay of something good.

Watching the cracks form in Tohru as the series reveals her politeness is a defense mechanism as well as a feeble childish desire to keep her father alive. Watching Tohru slowly accept that selfishness isn't always inherently bad in regards to Kyo sent a shiver down my spine the first time I read the series.

I also love Tohru Honda because of Akito Soma, who is a character foil to her is Top Tier.

P. Invent a random AU for any fandom.

I think the best AUs are when everything is the same except for one minor thing, either for humour or drama. Anyways, here are a few that came to mind:

-KHR: Everything is the same except Shouichi uses a different flame (not Sun).

-Dr. Stone where everything is the same except Xeno/Stanley were dating Byakuya before the Petrification Event. Senku knows this but says nothing.

-FE Fates where the Trio don't make it to Nohr or Hoshido and are stuck in Valla (where time works differently).

(Also, this is an AU that I've already created with my friend M34GS, but I'm in love with our Twisted Wonderland "Sort of Saw Franchise AU". Same with our Bar AU.)

U. Three favourite characters from three different fandoms and why they're your favourites.

Okay. Well, I already talked explicitly about Tohru Honda who is one of my most favourite characters ever. I'll pick others but know she's on my top favourite character list.

First Character: Gojo Satoru (JJK)

Yeah, shut up. I know. This is a basic choice but let me explain. Before I knew his backstory, Gojo was a favourite because I am a Huge Sucker for Over Powered characters. Especially those with eye powers or who are confident because of their abilities.

However, what truly cemented Gojo as a favourite is his backstory with Geto. I love character foils but they're also Achilles and Patroclus coded. My heart aches when I think about how they're the embodiment of a romantic tragedy. Fandom jokes that they made their "KFC break up" everyone's problem but it's true. They're so entangled and in love with one another that they'll literally burn the world down together. And in a shonen manga no less! Truly, I've never seen two male characters so explicitly hinted to have been together in my entire lifetime of watching shonen series.

(Side note: Gojo's line "Love is the greatest curse of them all" from JJK 0 lives rent free in my brain. How can I hear that line with my own two ears and not go feral over it?)

Second Character: Vil (Twisted Wonderland)

Last year when I first got into the game if someone told me I would end up loving Vil, I would have laughed at them. I would have never expected it since normally Vil's character archetype (obsessed with looks/beauty) isn't my type. Usually because I think of characters with a mix closer to Asmo (Obey Me) and Cater (also from Twisted Wonderland).

Vil took all my expectations and threw them away. To start, Vil is a hard working, dedicated perfectionist. Vil doesn't accept anything less than his best effort because he has clear goals in mind he wishes to accomplish. Also, Vil doesn't consistently berate people for not understanding subject areas he's an expert in. One character trope I hate are smug characters who think everyone is "an idiot" because others don't know what they're talking about. Vil doesn't do that and instead will guide others (even forcibly) through the steps.

However, what drew me closer into loving Vil is how he is an excellent commentary on society's immense pressure on famous people. Can you even imagine from day one knowing every little thing you do can be picked apart or held against you? Society already demands we live up to impossible standards and that goes double for famous people. Watching Vil feel like he has to constantly be "Vil the super model/actor" and not "Vil as a person" is what drew me into his character.

Third Character: Sakura (Cardcaptor Sakura/Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles)

There is just something about Sakura as a character, regardless of iteration, that draws me to her. I think it's her strength of character and the refusal to give up on herself/others. I also admire how CLAMP writes Sakura as a character with convictions. Her goals remain and never waiver even in the face of any challenge. Finally, there is something fun about seeing the differences/similarities presented in Sakura a child in CCS to Sakura a young adult in Tsubasa.

Slay The Princess in Death Battle (well, kinda)

Some people here may be familiar with Death Battle - animational show where authors make 2 characters from different shows/games/comisc/etc fight to the death, explaining their abilities and characters/backgroung before and the reason for one of the opponents to win after. It's 10th season has ended literally yesterday, it's a greath show if you like this kind of stuff.

So, some time after playing Slay The Princess (and being obsessed with it since) I got back into the DB, and it' all kinda mixed together, and I came up with an idea for a matchup that I now simply can't forget - Hatou Manabu from Qualia the Purple vs Princess from, well, Slay the Princess. It's just so perfect! I even wrote down the reason why:

Connections:

both are girls with powers based on perception and alternative possibilities, archiving some sort of truth at the end

both changes their forms to those from other worlds

both in their base forms are not very high-scale

both on their peak are abstract multiversal beings existing in every moment and place

both have endings where they abandon their multiversal selfies and become mortals to be with their loved ones

both have love as one of their main motivations, ready to hurt the object of their love for the greater good for them

both have death as a major theme of their narratives

Differences:

Hatou changes her forms on choice, while Princess changes based on how others see her

Hatou wants to prevent death, while Princess IS death itself

Hatou is a human who achieved godhood, Princess is god sealed in human form

But I know that those two works of fiction are two niche and they would never get an episode. And so, I remembered a simple principe - "if you want it done right you should just do it yourself".

So now I'm making my own episode. Khem-

And with all titanic depth of my feelings toward Slay The Princess, I shall make this happend, and shall this episode be the best it could, no matter how many time, work and blood it will take, so that I may express my love for our beloved!

Khem.

So, anyway. Here's the progress for a first week of development:

- I found a person to be a second writer (and potentially second host). By this time we got somewhat of a main idea for how the battle would go, and I've even pitched some ideas for specific scenes.

- After getting some experience with organization of an art-collab I'm hosting at the moment (more like I got hit in a face by reality, but whatever) I decided to take more time in organizing things and making storyboards. It would hopefully make the result less messy, but would take more time because of other stuff I need and want to do.

- On note of music, I have a good friend who could write it, although he could be busy. So there are a few ways: we can use some free music, we can hope that my friend could write music for us, or I could speedrun music theory myself.

Think I will post updates onces in a week or two

Oh, and as bonus - a little sneak peek into some storyboard.

Thanks for reading.

Update: right in a day I was writing this text I foudn out about DLC... it seems curse of Death Battle* has it ways even with fan works * meme in the community, appeared because of how many times after announcement/release of a new episode one of the combatants/series featured in it would get an announcement of new content that could change the results

I Have a Lot To Say About Monogatari

Monogatari, also known as Bakemonogatari after the first season, is one of the greatest anime ever made, but how the hell do you explain that to someone? It's 100 episodes and a three-part movie long, so selling someone on watching the whole thing is tough. Even if they were willing, you need to make sure they're not the kind of person to call the cops on you for recommending a show where the main character, a 17-year-old guy, has a middle school girl on his bed in only bloomers (and just wait until you see what he can do with a toothbrush). All caveats aside, I have many words about this series. Here are just a few.

With Monogatari I could start talking about what makes it great in many places, so I rolled a die and we're starting with dialogue. Monogatari is an extremely talky show. Characters do take action, like tearing out someone's intestines or flipping the skirt of an elementary school student, but fundamentally the conflicts are all psychological and philosophical, and those are things that require a lot of talking to get across. Luckily, Monogatari is very very good at making dialogue engaging.

Consider the trope of meeting your girlfriend's father for the first time. The Monogatari implementation of this scene has Hitagi's dad drive them to their first date, and the whole drive is used (deliberately, in-story) to push the awkward tension to the maximum. Koyomi is then left alone in the car with her dad. What one expects is the usual "are you good enough for her" conversation, but instead he opens with "please take care of my daughter", the stock phrase for approving their relationship. It's played off as a joke, but then her dad talks about their family's past and how he's seen his daughter change since getting together with Koyomi. He ends the conversation the way it started, "please take care of my daughter," and this time it's for real. It never drops the intensity of how it uses the tropes of the medium, and yet it comes together into a tender and emotional moment. Absolutely incredible.

All that has been about the dialogue itself. Just as important is the presentation of all this talking. Half of episode 3 is dedicated to a long conversation between Koyomi and Hitagi. This could have been done with a static two shot, or shot/reverse shot for reactions. Instead, it has them using various bits of playground equipment, like a seesaw or a giant rotating jungle gym. When the conversation gets heavier, they sit down on a bench. Even then, a ring of parallel bars drifts across the foreground, so there is some motion. For the next few beats, it zooms in back to still shots, but from various angles with exaggerated character poses. The conversation never feels stuck in place, despite how easy it is for that much talking to drag.

Speaking of Koyomi and Hitagi, Monogatari is blessed with a cast of very distinct and memorable characters. Araragi Koyomi, Hanekawa Tsubasa, Senjougahara Hitagi, Oshino Meme, Oshino Shinobu, Hachikuji Mayoi, Kanbaru Suruga, Sengoku Nadeko, Araragi Karen, Araragi Tsukihi, Ononoki Yotsugi, and more - each with their own mix of problems and quirks, vulnerabilities and strengths, recurring jokes and even varying degrees of fourth wall access... they are each special in their own ways. Screentime is not spread completely evenly, but each arc is named after the focus character and there are plenty of those to go around. Most arcs result in a substantial change to that character and others. Even when that's not the case, you can expect to at least learn something about their past or their true role in the story.

And about that story! The framework for the overarching storyline is being put in place from the very start, but the ways things fit together will not become clear for a long time. After the first few arcs, the story goes nonlinear. Sometimes incredibly important plot moments happen completely offscreen and only become visible when they go wrong in an initially unrelated character's story. One midseries arc takes place after the epilogue, but it is where it belongs due to how it develops its focus character and how it builds intrigue for things that happen before it in the timeline.

Music is another place where Monogatari shines. Plenty of anime do the thing where the theme song kicks in at a critical moment to enhance some moment to the peak of awesomeness. Monogatari does that to some extent, but its real strength comes in how it mutates its theme songs. A simple example is using a music box version of a theme to benefit from the play-the-opening impact in a quiet moment. With every arc having its own opening, those openings come to represent not just those arcs but those characters. When a character receives focus again in a future arc, they receive new opening as well. Those new openings are then able to lean on the previous themes almost like leitmotifs. One of those (which I don't want to name for spoiler reasons) used a very twisted reference in both song and animation in such a way that I had to pause and gather myself from the impact the first time I encountered it.

On animation, Monogatari in motion has an inimitable artistic vision. After watching just a few episodes, chances are if you saw another one with no context and no shared characters you would still know they’re from the same show beyond question within minutes. The basics are characteristic of Shaft of that era, sure (look at Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei) but it goes far, far beyond its peers. I already talked about how it uses limited motion to keep conversation engaging. In that and beyond, everything that happens is pushed to some extreme. If a character gives side eye, you're getting a close up with a musical sting and some very specific comment or a text card. It's not all about in-your-face energy either. Quiet moments can be heightened with the right amount of stillness or held tension.

Monogatari has the ability to push boundaries so close to the line that you need an electron microscope to find the distance. For many, the line is further back and Monogatari crosses it, but I’m speaking for me here and for me it doesn’t quite go over. The important thing is that it’s not doing it solely for edge, shock, or donger raising. Nearly everything lewd is incredibly funny, and the few cases where they’re not are tasteful without losing the necessary impact. It has some very brutal violence (eg. swinging a guy around by the intestines), but they art it up enough to make it clear that it’s not gratuitous. In a meta sense, Monogatari is deeply integrated with anime culture. It has the basics, like references to everything from Astro Boy to Attack on Titan, but it also gets into the meat of things. Any slightly meta anime can say “haha you’re such a tsundere”, but Monogatari takes it a step further and develops that both for humor and for genuine character exploration.

Conclusion

So what to do with an anime that, in at least a few ways, has no equals? To be a 10/10 you need to be 11/10 on something, and there are many 11/10 moments in this long series. Unfortunately, the Monogatari series just has a few too many caveats and weak points to make it to the podium. There are parts that drag. It's hard to keep up with flashing text, even though you can get by without it. Watching it in the order it aired shuffles things around in weird ways (I recommend watching the seasons and movie in the order the light novels were published.)

Score: 9/10. When at its best, the Monogatari series as a whole an incomparable experience. It’s not perfect, but if you have the time and the power level, you owe it to yourself to give it a try, or another one if you have before.

Recommendation: Monogatari requires a VERY high power level. Between the underage characters in unfortunate circumstances, the occasionally quite graphic violence, the inaccessibility of the freeze frame bits, etc. it's not really for everyone. That said if you do have the tolerance and the time, it's a sublime experience with no true peer.

Comparisons

There were so many tumblr's editor broke, so I split them into a second post, coming soon eventually.

Final Thoughts

Monogatari really is the complete package. I would say I wish it didn't require as high a power level as it does so that more people could enjoy it, but I also wouldn't want it to be watered down. Here's hoping the Off Season and Monster Season get the same treatment that the rest did in the end.

PS: ya might need to click on the drawing to make it bigger to get a better view of it.]

Credit for Hazbin Hotel goes to Vivienne Medrano

Credit for Undertale goes to Toby Fox

Credit for Transformers goes to Hasbro & Takara

Credit for Transformers Animated goes to Sam Register & Matt Youngberg

-----------------------

yeah, with how Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel is....this kind of fanart was gonna happen eventually. I can't be the only one who views Charlie's Dad as a Adorkable Apple Goober AND a Precious Cinnamon-Roll that needs to be protected.

plus the weird thoughts I have is like a mix of him being a cinnamon-roll/adorkable apple goober, and that interesting and funny meme where the goth girl leaves her house and she demands the country loving farm boy...XD

Fizz: Behold, The Eveningstar Princess, The Embodiment Of Weirdness And The Goddess's Earth Angel!

Me: Give Me The Adorkable Duck Loving Cinnamon-Roll...

Lucifer: NO! LET ME GO! I HAVEN'T FINISH MAKING MY NEWEST DUCK CREATION! I SAID STOP! *is being carried by Five Robo-Fizz, who are holding him up in the air, while he is tied up.*

Fizz: Sorry, But The Eveningstar Princess Has Spoken and Demands It.

well me being weird is better than how I was yesterday, kinda had a bit of a bad day...one of my gem bracelets broke, lucky I was able to place it somewhere safe, if we are able to, maybe we can put it back together....lucky my other gem bracelets are okay.

there was other reasons why I had a bad day yesterday as well...

I guess one of my gem bracelets breaking is like a mix of bad day and bad luck, it sucks that the bracelet still broke...I didn't even notice at first until maybe a few minutes or seconds later, don't know...I know that it could of been worse, it could of happen outside and it ending up breaking and falling on some pavement without my knowledge.

it be nice if I had such knowledge about gem bracelets when I was a little kid, maybe it would of helped protect me from the dangerous levels of energies from both people and a place.

I still think it is possible that the two places I have lived at before, before moving to the town that me and my family currently live at (and we had to move from a apartment to a house in the same town, which then when we did do so, I did have that depression happen in 2015...but even when I got better, I ended up falling into another one that seem a bit longer than that first one...that second one may have started in 2016, I think it was December 2017 when I got better. I'm not 100% sure if my second depression I had has anything to do with me ending up sick later on, if I remember right I think I may have gotten sick in 2018, I'm pretty sure that was the same year my first cat was, ya know...and it was when I was getting over from being sick when my first cat was about to, leave this world...I was a crying mess when that was going on. but I know when I was sick, I was throwing up...but at least I got better and I ended up having a second cat, who was actually given to me when they were still a small kitten, well a kitten who is a little older but still a small fluffy kitten, they are older now but they are still my precious fluffy baby who I like to think is my first cat reborn. :D )

may have had some dangerous energies that my body ended up absorbing and ended up causing my seizures, not all seizures are the same, and it can be possible those who are very energy sensitive to both people and a place that may have some bad supernatural energy, will end up getting a seizure.

and children & babies could be extra sensitive to the energies, because they wouldn't know they need to protect themselves from the outside energies that can end up flying around the air and then end up being absorbed into their body, which enough of it could overload them and cause a seizure.

and for all I know, the Toxic-Masculine and maybe even the Toxic-Feminine energy could cause seizures, then again it probably would need to be a very high level of it, and it might need to come from a type of supernatural being in order for it to happen...that is just a theory of course.

Toxic-Masculine is still a problem, and even if some might not fully accept it, well they don't have to. because if some are gonna accept it, they should do so by their own free will and accord.

we might still be able to fix the whole Toxic-Feminine and try to make sure some Toxic-Feminist understand there needs to be true balance.

The Toxic-Masculine had YEARS and Centuries to get as bad and dangerous as it can get at times right now, so it might take some more time and power to fix and heal as well as detoxify it from the Positive Masculine energy.

plus another reason why it is bad, may have to do with the annunaki gene, I still think is is possible and there was a Adam and Eve that are all of humanity's Primordial Ancestors but they had lived a very VERY super ancient long time ago before Adam, Lilith and Eve.

and the Adam, Lilith and Eve we know, are possibly one of the early humans who were born from the hybridization of using Annunaki DNA & Homo-Erectus DNA which would result in the birth of a new type of humanity known as Homo-Sapiens which are also known as Humans. I'm weird and I don't have to follow the same theories on how we got here, I can also believe in the science and creation of evolution.

that yeah we were created by Co-Creators, but some other beings like the Annunaki came and kind of did some stuff that caused well the whole balance with the Masculine and Feminine to become very fragile and it taking centuries to get a bit more better even with the problems that are still going on with the Toxic-Masculine, as well as a bit from the Toxic-Feminine as well.

it still doesn't help that some who are Masculine Aligned, ends up doing something so harmful that it ends up hurting the Feminine even more and could be seen as Domestic Abuse To The Feminine.

then again, I might be the only one who views it that way...

I get that it is like some form of twisted justice, but them thinking it is the "right way" may have to do with the Toxic-Masculine side taking control and influence on them, which is why they need to be healed and have that bad type of masculine energy, detoxified from them, so the good and positive masculine energy can grow stronger and be in balance with it's feminine side.

it is possible that not all other Earth Angels will agree, and I guess I'm fine with that...if I have to pull a Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz on my own without any other help from Other Earth Angels, it's okay.

speaking of the whole "Pink/Rose", I had found out about a video and well even watched it because it seem interesting.

it has to do with Angelic Color of Birth Months...

January is Deep-Blue

February is Violet

March is Light-Green

April is Clear-White

May is Soft-Pink

June is Light-Blue

July is Ruby-Red

August is Golden-Yellow

September is Indigo

October is Opalescent-White

November is Deep-Purple

December is Silver...

the name of the video is Discover Your Angelic Color Unveiling The Vibrant Spectrum of Birth Month Connections which the youtube channel is called Celestial Inspiration.

that video they uploaded and I ended up finding by chance or luck, seemed really interesting to me.

the color Soft-Pink for May is interesting, plus I think I wouldn't mind if my ethereal wings weren't just violet but having a pink color, too.

I wouldn't mind if my ethereal wings were fully pink with violet highlights maybe at the tip ends of the wings.

and the Soft-Pink color being a Angelic Color on the Month I was born and what I'm trying to do and my new belief (which is my believing in both the Heavenly Father & Earthly Mother) ends up reminding me of Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz and The Crystal Gems.

well that and that "Stronger Than You" Parody Song that is suppose to be sang by Rose Quartz. and the parody is by Rachel Michelle.

I love Steven Universe, plus even if I can still like Rose and Greg, it doesn't mean I wont still view them as Gray-Parents as well as being people who during their selfishness, even if there was a mix of good intentions...ended up hurting their family.

like with Greg it being his parents as well as his cousin Marty who is Steven's Honorary Uncle, then later Steven.

Rose ending up hurting White, Yellow and Blue with her faking her own shattering. even though she was doing good, she hurt those who loved her and even Steven who didn't really know her but the stories told by those that both loved and knew her.

I can still like those two, but I guess it can be like mix feelings, since Pink Diamond had purposely hurt Spinel by having her stand perfectly still until she came back.

Bee The Queen Embodiment of Gluttony and Bel The Queen Embodiment of Sloth from Helluva Boss, should punch Pink Diamond until she poofs and then bubble her.

Moon Butterfly in my view, has done far worse than Greg and Rose.

I love SVTFOE, but the whole scapegoating the magic instead of keeping the blame on Moon who misused the magic and cost Quirky his life and placing all other innocent lives of both Mewman and Monster, was not okay. if the day wasn't saved on time, even if it did involve scapegoating the magic and destroying it.

Eclipsa Butterfly's Husband Globgor and other Monsters who were hit by the very magic that was being used by Solarian Warriors, which was cast upon them by Moon herself...

they, the monsters would of lost their lives.

which by the way, even if they weren't hit by Moon's hands. she would still be at fault for causing the deaths of innocent people.

and even if it was a Solarian Warrior that had hit Quirky, which would then end up leading to him dying, but Moon is still responsible for his death, even if she didn't hit him with the magic weapon that would ultimately lead to his death...

I also have a theory about the whole Angelic Steel that makes Angelic Blessing Weapons from both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, and I will talk about it after I get this posted up.

I hope I'm wrong about Lilith from Hazbin Hotel, that she isn't as selfish or toxic-feminine as she seems, because even the Lilith from our universe has a good reason why she became the way she did...which was no thanks to the younger self of Peepaw Adam who was a spoiled entitled brat during his youth and the three angels didn't make things any better either...it is possible that the whole Adam being a brat in his younger days, may have to do with the Annunaki Gene.

but if it does turn out that Lilith from Hazbin Hotel is a selfish, egotistical, toxic-feminine two faced witch...

it be nice if Bee and Bel kick her butt.

I guess if it does turn out she is not as sweet and kind as Charlie thinks, it could mean that if Adam did come back as a Sinner, he would become a bit better even if he keeps his jerky side but ends up changing a bit....while Lilith becomes not very redeemable.

but if it turns out she is even more bad than The Vee Trio (which I still think Valentino may have a slight split personality, like possibly three of them....do those that work on the show read fan fics with Crossover AU like Hazformers by Blitzy-Blitzwing...or is it just a very weird coincidence...? I mean with how Valentino talks in the show most of the time, with his sweet and calm voice seeming super adorkable...it does make me wonder if he does have three split personalities and don't know it....I'm so fan-headcanon that theory.) and it wouldn't be surprising if she is the one who is hurting Alastor, that she is the one who Alastor made a deal with.

well since both her and Lucifer are divorced, the adorkable apple goober who is also a precious cinnamon-roll, could probably find someone better....which to some fans, that would be Alastor.

Alastor is a Precious Strawberry Muffin & Lucifer is a Precious Cinnamon Apple Roll that must be protected from her...

anyway in this drawing it has Sari, in a type of Seraphim form, which I guess it would be her Winner form, but also still making her a Seraphim.

Chara is in a Sinner form in this drawing, which happens to be like a Fawn, it is thanks to a fan fic I read before that made me loved the idea of Chara being Alastor's daughter.

this version of Chara being Alastor's daughter, (well nonbinary-girl daughter who's pronouns are she/her & they/them...) her full name is Charlotte because well the name Chara is a diminutive of the name Charlotte, so the name Chara is pronounce like how Lucifer calls his daughter Charlie by "Char-Char" so this version of Chara's name isn't pronounced like "Kara" but "Char-rah" instead.

also even though I do like the idea of the pilot version of Clara being like a sister of both Odette and Clara, even if it is just in the Fanon.

her name being Clarice can be spelled a bit different, which is why in this drawing I decided to spell it "Klarice" instead of "Clarice"...

Charlie's Dad in a Cinnamon-Roll costume just seem like a good idea, plus the whole me wanting to draw him in such a costume was just me being weird...but I hope some fans of both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, like the whole him being in a Cinnamon-Roll costume.

anyway I'm gonna hurry up and post this up, and check out some fan art on here and then I will get to work on writing that theory about that angelic steel from the universe of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. and hope some like this Crossover drawing, and the whole Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel being in a Cinnamon-Roll Costume. XD

Howdy, I'd like a matchup for the arcana if you're doing those :)

I’m Callie, a pansexual 5’5 Cis female with dirty blonde hair, freckles, and blue green eyes. I’m an INFP-T, gemini, and Hufflepuff. I have Aspberger’s syndrome and adhd which causes me to be somewhat socially awkward even though I like attention and act confident. I’m easily distracted and tend to start projects I easily lose motivation for. I also hyperfixate on a different topic every week (especially entomology, mythology, and zoology) and all I want to do is analyze everything about said topic, this past week was moths. I absolutely adore animals and bugs (especially the creepy crawlies) and I have a tendency to hoard pets, everything from dogs and cats to snakes and tarantulas. Also might be getting a wildlife rehabbing permit soon, fingers crossed. I practice suomenusko which combines Finnish tradition and culture with pagan beliefs. My patron god is Loki and I’m hoping to start working with Hecate soon. My hobbies include writing, drawing, crocheting, and electric guitar. When I become overstimulated, I stim, and I have two types of stimming: happy stimming which includes flapping my hands and running around and angry stimming which includes biting my hands and pulling my hair out. I’m a bit chaotic and impulsive and I love making people laugh. I have a very odd sense of humor which is utterly destroyed by modern day memes (I couldn’t stop laughing over a bass boosted picture of a toothbrush once). I also procrastinate. Like a lot. And occasionally I have depressive episodes where I lose motivation to do literally anything. My clothing style consists of a mixture between traditional Celtic and cottagecore; I like dresses and braids. I am not afraid to call anybody out on their bullshit, which gets me in trouble sometimes lol. A witch! It all started when I began collecting crystals :). I can be loud and excitable but I usually only show this side of me to people I know won’t judge me for it. My love language is definitely physical touch and gifts. I love making stuff for people and I’m touch starved lol. I’m definitely a hoarder, I’ve got so much stuff, blame it on my goblin tendencies. I love collecting stuff from nature such as bones, feathers, rocks, bugs, and plants. I’m also a bit of a forager, chicken of the woods is my favorite mushroom! I… don’t particularly enjoy children. They just have no boundaries :/. I probably will never be able to fully deal with children because of my disorders, but I have four nephews and being a cool aunt is enough for me. Besides, my animals are basically my kids anyways, I absolutely dote on them and they’re my pride and joy.

Hello lovely! I'm so sorry I'm just now getting to this! Life has been wild, and I just opened tumblr up for the first time in AGES. T.T

My first immediate instinct is to say I'd match you with Julian! I can picture you two together, earning a reputation as an insanely charismatic gremlin duo. You and he would get along so well, and I can see him keeping up with your boundless thoughts very well, and vice versa. You both tend to shy away at first from others, but when given the time to blossom and come out of your shell (if you'll pardon the mixed plant and animal metaphors, lol), you'll find so many mutual interests that you won't know where to start!

If you don't think this man's gonna be right there with you, foraging mushrooms and collecting interesting rocks, feathers, bones, etc. you're wrong. And I think he's relatively ambivalent about whether he wants kids, like, he's open to it, but absolutely doesn't need them, and to some extent, genuinely believes it'd be better if he never had any at all, so he wouldn't be bothered if he never had any. He would 100% adore doting on your nieces and nephews, though, and would be the best proud uncle!

This man's like a crow, and he will court you like one: he will bring you all of the shinies, and surprise you by leaving little trinkets and rocks, crystals, feathers, all sorts of goodies, around the house for you to discover. He will also happily listen to you talk about your hyperfixations for hours, especially if you're willing to return the favor.

winter inspiration — headcanon, playlist & aesthetic

summary — inspiration falls differently with each season, except this winter seems like the longest one yet. gyujeong’s been writing less music despite having a surge of inspiration. inspiration comes from different parts of his day to day life, and where he draws the most is where he tends to continue pursuing. lately, it consists of writing, anime and son yejin. playlist summary — though he’s only really influenced by drake’s albums, sometimes gyujeong finds himself in a predicament when he listens to the same track on and on again. these songs give him some sort of inspiration of the music he’d want to create. yet, it becomes thwarted by the reminder that when given the musical freedom, he’s only left to make shitty ultraviolet edm beats. despite this, he continues to curate playlists for the sake of getting to it later, using it as fuel for himself to someday make better music than his current situation. this playlist is a mixed bag of genre as gyujeong’s been here and there with what inspires him. wc — 552

1. drake — best i ever had 2. drake — hours in silence 3. bach — air on the g string 4. beethoven — romance no. 2 in f major 5. chopin — waltz op 69 no 2 6. 성우정아 — 상상 / sungwoojunga — beyond my dreams 7. polaris — dynamite 8. 원티드 — 외로운 사람들을 위한 노래 / wanted — heal me 9. 김광석 — 너무 깊이 생각하지마 / kim kwang seok — don’t think too deeply 10. shwayze — corona and lime

yeah, gyu’s a bit weird in what inspires him this winter — nothing is really coherent. and that’s the gist of his inspiration — incoherencies, and that’s what he’s just drawn to

classical music — gyujeong has a background in classical music because he used to go to piano hakwon everyday as a child. his mother thought it was mandatory that all her children learn how to play the piano, and turns out, gyujeong was quite good at it. he was the best out of his siblings, and he learned pretty quickly. now, after being in the industry for so long, he strayed away from it but somehow he landed on the weird side of youtube at 3am where it led him to a few bach and beethoven pieces, so that’s now what plays as his background music instead of his guilty pleasure (600 lbs life).

drake — everyone can shit on drake all they want, but gyujeong will defend drake till the very end. he doesn’t know why he vibes with drake so much (well, probably because he’s a lonely loser that doesn’t know anything), but he does. drake releases a new album? gyujeong streams it along with streaming old drake songs. the old love songs that made drake a meme? those are gyujeong’s favorite and he’s having fun with the meme-factor of it

dynamite — he thinks this song is hilarious. from the lyrics to how it was marketed, he thinks it’s funny. feels bad for polaris, but also finds it intriguing how a song can elicit so much laughter from him. because of that, it’s his inspiration to write beyond sad songs and start to write comical humor

the other songs are just classics that give him a taste of nostalgia for an era he never lived in. they’re more superficial inspirations? so, he doesn’t put that much thought beyond that the sounds were so raw back then, the mastering wasn’t as pristine, yet they stay true to the test of time. longevity — he wants that.

anime — he’s always inspired by anime, but lately it’s been a lot of makoto shinkai movies. he hasn’t been watching series, but been watching straight up romance anime movies because it makes him cry, and he enjoys living vicariously within a fictional world. it swallows him whole and he considers it a profound experience everyone should try

writing — he’s never been a journaler because he finds the concept annoying. writing feels like a chore, but he finds that when he scribbles down one or two thoughts he had in the day or what he did that day, it pieces together a familiarity for when he goes back. plus, writing one or two thoughts doesn’t consist of a page and fits his lazy ass <3

son yejin — in addition to makoto shinkai movies, gyujeong’s been watching a lot of old son yejin movies and dramas. he’s named her his ideal type once or twice, with the explanation: he hasn’t seen anyone more beautiful when they cry and he likes dog faces more than cat faces. he likes to pretend he’s the co-star in whatever she’s starring in, and try to write songs that paint a picture to her tears. this is SO lame, i know. but since he’s been in a sadder mood lately, he writes break up songs about son yejin instead of thinking about his ex : )

“You lie to your best friend/crush that you have an OnlyFans just to see their reaction”

Ft. Sugawara; Nishinoya; Tsukishima; Oikawa; Kenma

Pt. 2

A/N: My bias is so obvious here LOL

KARASUNO

↳ Sugawara

➣ You are over at his house, the two of you idly watching a sitcom while browsing your phones and chatting in between; it’s comfortable, as times with Sugawara usually are.

➣ Every time Suga leans in to show you a funny meme on his phone or throws his head back in laughter at a joke from the show, you find your heart skipping a beat.

➣ He is beautiful, basically an angel in your eyes, but he is also your best friend and you don’t think he has any interest in you like that. Not in the way you do.

➣ That’s how you get the idea to test his feelings.

➣ Being the troublemaker you are (how else would you and Suga get along so well?) you decide to shake things up by casually mentioning you’re interested in starting an OnlyFans and asking if he thinks its a good idea.

➣ You expect either of two reactions: either he’ll be as supportive as usual, possibly advising you to be cautious with strangers online like the mother hen he is, proving he only sees you as a friend—or he’ll tell you not to, possible evidence that likes you.

➣ The response you receive is not quite what you were expecting...

➣ Once the words leave your lips his head immediately whips around in your direction, light brown eyes looking at you with a serious expression on his face, something you’d never really seen before. It makes you uncomfortable and you begin to regret all of your life decisions.

➣ Suddenly though, he is leaning into you, his arms coming up to trap you against the couch as you try to back away. Your eyes are as wide as saucers and face completely flushed as he continues to stare you down before speaking.

➣ “Even though I’m your best friend, I’m still a man, you know. You’re being awfully cruel right now.”

➣ You audibly gulp, suddenly feeling light-headed but he keeps speaking, close enough that you can feel his hot breath fan across your cheeks.

➣ “Asking me to watch the person I like show off in front of thousands of other men? Even I have my limits.”

➣ And that marks the day of you and Sugawara’s first kiss. ♡

↳ Nishinoya

➣ Your best friend, Nishinoya Yuu, is notoriously unabashed with his affections.

➣ The two of you have an interesting relationship—Noya has no qualms with expressing how pretty he thinks you are, borderline flirting with you at times, and you frequently return the favor.

➣ But you don’t take any of it seriously, of course, regardless of how much you secretly wish it were real. Everyone at Karasuno knows about Noya’s undying dedication to the volleyball club manager, Shimizu Kiyoko, and he confesses his love to her at least twice a day.

➣ Unbeknownst to you those professions became less and less frequent after he met you and now most of Karasuno thinks the two of you are basically dating

➣ The two of you are at the mall, a frequent hang out place where Noya can look at volleyball gear and you can browse manga at the bookstore, when you get the idea to prank your friend.

➣ “Hey, Noya? I’ve been thinking about finding a way to make more money but I don’t have time for a part-time job so I decided to make an OnlyFans—I already have a few subscribers.”

➣ Nishinoya nearly trips and falls flat on his face. You would have laughed if it weren’t for how he immediately grabs at your shoulders, staring at you with a mix of anger and fear.

➣ “Absolutely not! No one should be allowed to see your beautiful body like that but me!”

➣ You immediately fluster at his loud declaration, acutely aware of how other customers in the mall are giving the two of your strange looks as they walk by.

➣ “B-but Noya, we aren’t even dating—”

➣ “Then let’s start dating!”

➣ And what are you gonna do? Say no?

↳ Tsukishima

➣ Being friends with Tsukishima could be frustrating at times—a sentiment you and Yamaguchi frequently discuss when the blond isn’t around.

➣ Tsukishima likes to think most things are beneath him and he’s too cool to find enjoyment in activities most other friends enjoy, ranging from mini golf to video games. The man seems content to waste his life away studying and listening to music if it weren’t for you and Yamaguchi forcing him out of his room.

➣ Naturally, something like a prank war would be something Tsukishima would want no part of—not that that has ever stopped you.

➣ Usually, your pranks are failures. Either Tsukishima easily figures out what you’re doing before it can happen or he doesn’t give you the satisfaction of a reaction, chastising you for wasting your time pulling pranks when you have a failing grade in mathematics you’ll later beg him to help you study for.

➣ He still helps you though, he’s whipped

➣ Your newest prank however, you feel exceptionally confident in. Not only is it simple to pull off, only relying on your acting kills, but it also might answer your curiosity on whether you have a chance in getting your dearest Tsukki to see you as more than just a friend.

➣ The day you decide to do it the three of you are hanging out in Tsukishima’s bedroom as usual, you working on the math homework Tsukishima forced you to study while he reads a book and Yamaguchi sits in the corner reading a book.

➣ You had already discussed your plans with Yama beforehand, to which his expression looked suspiciously devious, like he knew something you didn’t know, as he proclaimed his support.

➣ You hear Tsukishima turning a page and decide to speak up.

➣ “Hey, Tsukki, have you heard of OnlyFans?”

➣ You hold back a snicker as you see Tsukishima visibly tense, his eyes widening behind his glasses for a moment before he relaxes. From the corner of your eyes you can see Yamaguchi smirking behind his comic, watching the blond closely.

➣ “...yeah, I’ve heard of it,” Tsukishima simply replies.

➣ “I’ve been thinking about making more money but I don’t have time for a part-time job so my friend suggested it. She said I could make over ten thousand yen a month.”

➣ “I think only the really attractive ones make that much.”

➣ You gasp, thoroughly offended, and Yamaguchi looks mildly annoyed by his friend’s response, already opening his mouth to chastise him for being so mean—but before he can say anything, Tsukishima is speaking again, still looking down at the book in his lap.

➣ “Don’t do it though.”

➣ “Why not?” You pout, refusing to look up at him when you speak.

➣ “...I don’t want the person I like to do those types of things.”

➣ You nearly choke on your own saliva, head darting up to stare at him in disbelief. Yamaguchi, for some reason, only smiles softly, looking unsurprised by the admission.

➣ “W-what? You...like me?”

➣ “Oi, shouldn’t you be studying? One more F and you’re gonna flunk out of the class, dummy.”

➣ You’re slightly disappointed by the change of subject but when you notice the soft pink on Tsukishima’s cheeks you can’t help but to smile the whole time you finish your homework.

AOBA JOUSAI

↳ Oikawa

➣ Oikawa is a busy guy.

➣ You were well aware of that before the two of you happened to be paired up for an assignment and got to know each other, eventually becoming close friends.

➣ Between volleyball practices, tournaments, magazine interviews, and appeasing a passionate fan club, Oikawa rarely has time for himself, let alone another person.

➣ Despite all of that, you could tell he always made sure to spend time with you, dedicating a few weekends a month to hanging out, just the two of you, and constantly texting you in the times the two of you couldn’t physically be together.

➣ From an outsider’s perspective, it was almost like the two of you were dating.

➣ But alas, you know the sad reality is that Oikawa is most certainly not your boyfriend and you have no idea if he has any interest in your like that…

➣ ...Which is why you decide to try to make him jealous one day to push him towards confessing his feelings, if they exist.

➣ The two of you are at a café, sipping lattes and gossiping about other students when you bring it up.

➣ “Y’know...I’ve been thinking of making an OnlyFans.”

➣ To your surprise, Oikawa’s eyes seem to light up, his lips curving into a smile of excitement.

➣ “Wow, really? Maybe I should make one too!”

➣ Oikawa immediately pulls out his cell phone and the color drains from your face as you realize your plan has completely backfired.

➣ “My fans are going to love this—hey do you think we can do a collab? The two of us in one pic would make us top creators for sure.”

➣ You can only nod numbly with a fake smile at Oikawa’s enthusiasm.

➣ Oh god, you’ve created a monster…

NEKOMA

↳ Kozume

➣ Unless you’re Kuroo, becoming friends with Kenma is a nearly impossible feat. Actually making him want to spend time with you alone, even more so.

➣ But somehow, you managed to work your way into Kenma’s tightly knit social circle more like a two point line segment of him and Kuroo and your evenings after his volleyball practice are usually spent in one of your bedrooms, playing Splatoon and Animal Crossing until your Switches die or your parents force you to come home for dinner—whichever comes first.

➣ You love spending time with Kenma, his quiet presence somehow making you feel comfortable—but over time those feelings of ease have shifted into something more akin to nervousness and excitement as you’ve come to develop a crush on the setter.

➣ Every moment with him, watching the small smiles tug at his lips when he wins a match or his cute, frustrated pout when he can’t figure out how to defeat a boss makes your heart flutter and it’s becoming more and more painful to idly sit by without expressing your feelings.

➣ A direct confession, especially to a boy with nearly 0 social skills, is scary, so you want to be sure your feelings are returned before you even attempt to share them.

➣ Thus, you’ve decided to take Kuroo’s advice.

➣ “Push him into a corner. Kenma will only act when he thinks he has to.”

➣ You take a deep breath to steel your nerves before you speak, eying him sneakily from behind your Switch.

➣ “Gamer girls and boys are kind of trendy these days; I’m thinking about starting an OnlyFans to make money to buy more games.”

➣ The only visible response you receive is a slow blink as Kenma continues to play his game, fingers tapping furiously on the keys.

➣ “Ah...I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

➣ “Why not?”

➣ There are a few moments of silence between you two, the room only filled with the SFX of your games as Kenma seems to finish his round. You recognize the victory music as Kenma pauses to finally raise his gaze to meet your own.

➣ “It's your body so I can’t tell you what to do but...I would feel really jealous of all your subscribers.”

➣ And just like that, Kenma returns his attention to the video game, unpausing and starting a new match, blissfully unaware of you struggling to calm your racing heart and flushed cheeks.

Made a new Flight Rising iceberg and also wrote an explanation.. man, this took way longer than it should have.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy :D

Iceberg explanation

( If there are any mistakes please let me know and I’ll edit this asap. Also, English isn't my first language so please forgive me for any grammatical errors)

EDIT 28/06: Added some new info! Thanks to everyone who tagged and responded with new stuff to add, I really appreciate it!

The Sky

Naomi

Back in the day, whenever you bought or sold something on the auction house a message would show up in your inbox confirming the transaction. These messages were sent by one of the dragon couriers: Pearl, Spitfire or Edgar.

On January 2016, a strange glitch occurred that replaced the images and names of couriers with the ones of a female fae named “Naomi”.

It goes deeper than that, though: if you looked up her name in the user search menu, a clan would pop up with over 15 million dragons.

It was quickly discovered that all exalted dragons had somehow become part of her clan. Naomi herself apparently didn’t exist, and clicking on her page redirected to an error page. This was later fixed and the original Naomi page can be now visited.

What exactly caused this glitch is still a mystery and today Naomi is still a well-known piece of Flight Rising history.

Missing Tidelord

In the official lore, the deity of the water flight disappeared in early 2018, as described in the short story “Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow”.

In the follow up story (Mixed Elements) posted in April of the next year it is confirmed that the Tidelord is still missing, but alive. This coincides with the fact that the Tidelord account hasn’t made any forum posts aside from festival announcements.

Emperors

Emperors are a type of unobtainable dragon that are formed when several Imperial corpses are left in close proximity to each other, which then fuse forming a multi-headed chimera.

Emperors are described in the lore as having an animal-like behavior and destroying everything in sight. They are extremely difficult to kill, which is the reason why in-universe Imperials have such strange burial rites.

An emperor named Luminax is first described in the Raising a Family short story, and their sprite can be seen walking around on the world map.

The Surface

Old color wheel

Originally, there were only 67 available colors for dragons. On June 8th 2016, 110 more colors were added, meaning that currently there are a total of 177 colors available.

When making a custom progenitor dragon, it is only possible to choose among the 67 original colors because it would be otherwise unfair for those who made their account before the new colors were added.

Imperial breed scrolls

Imperial breed change scrolls are one of, if not the most, rare type of item on the site. They were given only to those who pledged 30 dollars or more on the original Flight Rising kickstarter.

At the time, this was the only way of obtaining an Imperial dragon, which meant that the breed as a whole was pretty valuable. Now that Imperials are abundant this is no longer the case, but First generation Imperials are still extremely sought and probably the most expensive type of dragon on the site.

There were also other items that were only given to Kickstarted backers, namely Skycats, Bonefiend, Golden Idol and Cogfrog familiars, and those are also pretty much impossible to obtain.

Baldwin breed change

When Baldwin was introduced in 2015 he was originally a Pearlcatcher. On September 14th of 2016 however his site art started to gradually change, until his transformation was completed five days later.

In-universe, Baldwin started to change after a lightning strike hit his cauldron during an experiment, which made him slowly mutate into the breed we now know as Bogsneaks.

Trans Fiona

When Fiona was added as a trading post dragon people speculated that she was trans, because the female pose for Skydancers only displays two antennae, while the male one has four.

Since Fiona has four antennae in her site art, many wondered whether it was an oversight or actually intended. Aequorin later confirmed in a forum thread that Fiona is indeed trans.

Boolean

Speaking of rare items, the Boolean familiar was only given to a handful of Flight rising beta testers and as such is extremely rare and valuable.

Plaguebringer coli team

On the Plaguebringer’s page she is listed as being part of a coliseum team.

As of now we have no clue as to why this is, and even more strangely she is the only deity that does this.

Boston & Hope

This story is a bit complicated. I’ve scoured the forums in search of info but it seems like there are still some pieces missing. I’ll try my best to explain anyway.

So, for a long while the Lightweaver was the only deity that had other dragons aside from herself in her lair: these dragons were a Spiral named Boston and a Tundra named Hope. Strangely, they were both Earth dragons and apparently have been there since the beginning (?). When asked why (this happened back when deities would interact on the forums) the Lightweaver responded that they were having a dinner party together.

In August 2014 during a pretty heated dominance battle between Shadow and Light Boston and Hope disappeared from the Lightweaver’s lair.

The Shadowbinder now had them, and both their elements were alsochanged to Shadow. The two deities acknowledged this and changed their broadcast messages accordingly.

If I had to guess this was some kind of inside joke that the admins had, although some people got angry that the Shadowbinder now had both Hope and Boston. Some time later(?) Boston was returned to the Lightweaver and for some reason his element was changed to wind.

I don’t have any more info on the matter but if some of you do I would appreciate it if you tell me.

Shallow Waters

Eyepocalypse

On June 8th 2018 eye type variants were introduced. This update was pretty controversial for a bunch of reasons, and the topic is still discussed today. The majority of people(?) seemed to be upset by the fact the “best” eye types (primarily goat, primal and multi-gaze) could only be displayed on dragons that were born with them, and the fact that every dragon born prior to the update couldn’t have these eye types at all displeased a lot of users.

Another problem was the fact that most of the non-special eye types (i.e the only ones that could be applied to already existing dragons using a vial of Scattersight) were not clearly visible on the grand majority of adult dragons.

A smaller(?) complaint was that two of the primal eye types, Shadow and Plague, were seen as kind of disturbing by some people.

Three years later staff attempted to fix this issue by adding Eye type vials for every available eye type. This resulted in a market crash for special eye typed dragons, as now these eye types could be applied to any dragon. The value of Scattersights also tanked, and the people bought them and hadn’t used them yet lost money as now they were infinitely less useful.

EDIT 28/06: Goat isn’t actually obtainable via breeding, faceted is. Bad mistake on my part.

Also, Scattersights were given away freely by Galore on Flight Rising’s fifth anniversary in 2018 and could not be bought afterwards. I admit that I thought people could be able to buy Scattersights due to how upset people were that the value went down, but whatever.

Courier Breed

The courier dragons (Edgar, Spitfire, and Pearl) are part of an exclusive dragon breed that is currently unobtainable. Even though their eye color still reflects the flight they were born in, in-universe they are considered to be “neutral” and they are granted free access to all domains. This raises the question as to which deity created them, as every other dragon breed (Bogsneaks being the only exception) has been created by one of The Eleven.

Multiaccounting

According to the site’s terms of service, no one is allowed to have more than one account. This is pretty standard for pet sites, as having multiple accounts grants unfair advantages and can mess up the site economy. This doesn’t completely stop people for having more than one account, and the practice as a whole is called “Multiaccounting” or “having multis”.

Some people only do this to have multiple clans or reboot their account without deleting their old one. They mostly do no harm but it is reasonable that the site wouldn’t allow this because of how easy it is exploit.

The real harm of multis comes from a practice called “funneling” which is when someone creates multiple accounts only for the purpose of giving items to their main account. This practice violates the game’s rules and can result in a ban. Funneling is not limited to multiaccounting though, and having an account only to feed another is against the site’s rules whether or not the account in question belongs to another person or not.

Some people fear of being banned for multiaccounting even if they haven’t done so, especially if they share a computer with other people.

Purble

“he purble” is probably among the most famous Flight Rising memes.

In 2016(?) a rant was submitted to the original Dramarising blog by a very angry user that wanted to buy an XXX Purple Ridgeback back when triples were pretty expensive, but got beat by someone else.

I’m not going to copy paste it here because in my opinion it’s one of the funniest Flight Rising related posts ever and I don’t want to spoil the experience of reading it for the first time. You can find it pretty easily by searching it up.

Tert Picking

This is something that refaced recently, even though I’ve seen people talking about this for a while. Some people vividly remember being able to pick their custom progenitor’s tertiary color, even though the developers have made it clear that such thing would be impossible. This is without a doubt just one of those weird situations where a lot of people somehow remember the same thing wrong.

Still, it’s fascinating just how many people claim to remember doing picking their tert.

Swiftwings

Swiftwings were a dragon breed that was scrapped in development. The design was rejected because it didn’t fit the 2 arms 2 legs 2 wings format that every dragon design had to follow before the introduction of ancient breeds.

The reason for this rule is that otherwise it would mess up apparel placement. Although the concept was scrapped, echoes of the design were scattered throughout the site: for example, the empty dragon slots that were present prior to 2019 had the silhouette of a Swiftwings dragon. They are also mentioned in the April Fool’s update of 2018.

“Real” Lore dragons

Most people don’t know that some of the dragons featured on the lore stories are actually real, and you can visit their pages. This is the case for Tetra, Cracklinne, Velya, Liefa, Garote and Mirth, which are currently chilling in Aequorin’s lair.

All of the other dragons in the developers’ lairs are not canon and are used to test bugs and features on the site.

The Middle ground

True deity names

When the site first started the deities used to have actual names instead of titles. Some of these names were based off of the site founders’s usernames on other sites.

The names are the following:

Amogayvhi - Gladekeeper Xhaztol - Arcanist Rhenik - Tidelord Akiri - Flamecaller Thrage - Stormcatcher Undel - Shadowbinder Jhortanas - Plaguebringer Ghurab - Windsinger Artaios - Earthshaker Rhiow – Lightweaver

As you can tell, Xhaztol, Akiri, Thrage and Undel are the usernames of some of the admins of the site, and the flight they are a part of corresponds with the previous name of their deity.

No leg coatls

On January 16, 2015 an iconic thread was posted in the flight rising discussion forum, which displayed a photoshopped image of a coatl with its legs removed. Quickly the thread devolved into a general photoshop thread were people took official site art of dragons and modified it.

The thread was eventually locked due to spam and quote pyramids, but spiritual successors of the original “phoatlshop” thread still exist today.

Dress slot unlocking

A thing that a surprising amount of people don’t know is the fact that when buy an additional apparel slot, the slot opens for every dragon in your lair and not just the one you bought it on.

This is something I also discovered very recently and it’s kind of funny that so many people that have been on the site for very long don’t know this.

Clanbound scatterscrolls

I think the wiki explains it best, so I’ll just copy paste this here:

“Tri-Color Scatterscrolls suffered from an issue where they would only scatter a random range from colors 1-47 (white through sunshine) rather than 1-67 (white through rose). They have been fixed and are now functioning correctly with a random range within the 67 color set. The affected timeframe was from August 15th, 2013 until September 22nd, 2013. The admins allowed users who were unsatisfied with their bugged Tri-Color Scatterscrolls to receive the same amount of them back in the form of Clanbound Scatterscrolls to try scattering their own dragons again with the full color range.”

Beta Mirrors

Ever wondered why they’re called Mirrors?

According to Undel, the main artist of Flight Rising, mirrors originally were supposed to have every part of their body “mirrored”, meaning they had two sets of eyes, two pairs of wings, two tails, and so on.

This design ended up being too cluttered and looked weird shrunken down. The name was kept the same, even though the only mirrored part of the design are the eyes.

Dragons are evil

If you read the “Beastclans on the rise” lore bit, the dragons come across as… very evil, stealing territory from the beastclans when they have been living on Sornieth way longer than the dragons have and killing them for loot.

Furthermore, in the Bounty of the Elements lore bit the Beastclan rebellion guided by Talona is seen by the dragons as unreasonable and wrong even when in canon Beastclans are framed as the innocent party.

The Depths

Scroll of Divorce

In the alpha stage dragons were supposed to be monogamous and could only breed with the dragon they were “paired” with. To break their bond you had to use an item called “Scroll of Divorce” which even featured broken marriage rings in the art.

If I had to guess, this item and the concept as a whole were scrapped because the idea of dragons having “weddings” and needing to divorce before breeding with another dragon felt kind of weird, especially in a game targeted towards teens.

First Festival

The first Holiday festival in Flight rising history was the 2013 Brightshine Jubilee. The items that were available for this festival only are incredibly rare, particularily the Light Sprite which is one of the most valuable items on the site. Apart from that and the fact that the skincent contest only had 6 winners, not much is notable about it.

Offsite drama

Flight Rising has had its fair share of drama both on and off site, but due to the fact that it’s against the site’s rule to discuss user drama on the forums most of the notable drama happened off site (mainly tumblr).

Egg rot

Egg rot was a very early mechanic that was pretty quickly removed from the site. If you forgot to incubate your eggs, they would “rot” and no longer hatch.

It’s the reason why in the nesting grounds the text reads “Eggs healthy” and also the reason why on the stats section of the Account settings it says “Eggs discarded”. The mechanic was removed because it heavily punished casual players and the frequent downtimes of the site meant that even if someone logged in every day they could still have their eggs die.

Also, the images of egg rot look extremely cursed.

Pablo

From what I could gather, Pablo is a dragon which became somewhat popular after user “Desmondtiny” wrote a very long and detailed backstory of them being the Arcanist’s lost boyfriend.

I’m pretty sure it gues deeper than that but I couldn’t find any further information. As usual, if you know something more let me know.

Latest News

On November 12, 2014, a glitch(?) occurred that let anyone post in the Announcements thread. Anything that was posted went directly to the front page, which resulted in quite a bit of chaos.

This was fixed only half an hour later, but the screenshots people have from that time are extremely funny.

Lameforger

On the 2014 Flameforger’s festival announcement Undel accidentally misspelled “Flameforger” as “Lameforger”, which prompted the official account of the Flamecaller to respond aggressively. Lameforger is still jokingly used by users, even after the typo was fixed.

Festival of one (1)

On the first day of the 2014 Greenskeeper Gathering a glitch occurred which switched the site banner for the Starfall celebration banner instead of the Greenskeeper one.

It didn’t end there, in the coliseum Magical shards dropped instead of Bladed Flatleaves, even though skin chests dropped as normal(?).

The weirdest thing about it all was Joxar’s Space inventory, which didn’t display any items at all and had glitched dialogue.

The event was nicknamed by the fanbase “Festival of 1” and even the deity’s official accounts acknowledged the incident.

Vape Juice

As far as I know the original forum thread as been lost, but the vape juice fiasco will always remain cemented in Flight Rising History.

A company called Vape Daugz was making vape juice with Flight Rising dragons plastered on their packaging, completely violating the site’s policy.

The company’s site still exists, and browsing through their products I found that the products that previously had Flight Rising dragons on them still exist, but now feature completely different packaging.

I have no idea whether they changed the packaging spontaneously or staff did something about it.

I think there’s a potentially interesting story buried down there, but we’ll likely never the truth behind the Flight Rising vape juice.

The Abyss

Humans

There’s been some speculation over the years as to whether or not humans are canon in the Flight Rising universe. Some people believe that the “Mages” of the second age in the official lore are actually humans, but we can’t be sure because they are depicted with long robes that cover their whole bodies.

The idea of humans existing in canon has spawned a couple of memes, most infamously Thomas.

Plague healers

Again, I think the wiki explains this one better:

“According to Aequorin, Plague healers are an interesting bunch because rather than administer treatments that counter illness, they use a mixture of magic and contagion that stress the affected dragon further, allowing them to reach a stronger, healed, and resistant state faster than other elements. Plague healers will treat physical injuries with sutures, bandages, and braces, but they won't clean the wounds or apply ointments."

Akitla

As described in the original thread, Akitla was a dragon that user “qunii” saw on the front page, but noticed that she wasn’t accompanied by the username of the person owning them.

After clicking on her, an error page loaded. It was discovered that putting her color combination or ID in the search bar would result in an error page. This was later fixed, and both Akitla and her mate were now displayed as being exalted to the Arcanist. T

here are some theories as to what happened to the Akitla’s user, some think that she belonged to a deleted account, others that it was the result of an incomplete account creation.

As with a lot of things on this iceberg, it will likely remain a mystery forever.

Arcane sprite book

“what is the arcane sprite reading??” is probably one of the oldest still active threads on the forums.

On September 25, 2013 user “Kaadashi” started a joke thread were they wondered what exactly is the arcane sprite reading, and playfully suggested that it could be erotic fanfiction. People went crazy of course, and started to wonder what kind of juicy secrets were hidden within the pages of that book.

I don’t want to say too much because I really don’t want to spoil the experience of reading through this very cursed tread.

Sunshine

Sunshine is one of the most… interesting lairs on the site, and certainly one of the most well-known.

They(?) have a lair (almost) completely full of triple basic sunshine dragons, most of which are Tundras. So far they have collected about 320 triple hundred Sunshine dragons, almost all of which are also named “Sunshine”. They’re not all the same, some of them have apparel, some of them are gened and some have unique art and descriptions.

They’re dedicated and I respect that.

EDIT 28/06: Apparently some people seem to think that the sunshine-dedicated lair is based on a meme concerning the announcement of the color wheel expansion, which became so discussed that the itself site broke. The two things are unrelated however, as the Sunshine lair has been around for much longer.

The announcement of the color wheel expansion was cryptic, with only a few post showing off differently colored coatls and then 3 pages of reserved posts, with no explanation whatsoever.

Simple Farmer

Another very famous thread is the “I am but a simple farmer” thread started by user “someKindOfGenius”. It’s not really about anything specific, it’s just a rather silly thread were people photoshop flight rising dragons onto various crops.

Still, this thread is iconic so I had to include it.

Dragon Deaths

Way back in 2014 former flight rising programmer Thrage revealed on a forum thread that way back before the beta, dragons could actually starve to death if left unfed.

Yep.

Obviously they had to remove this mechanic because it would have been extremely harsh to casual players and make people frustrated with the game.

Zalvador

User “manojalpa” became fairly well-known for the extremely dark lore they(?) had written for their Clan, it was so dark in fact that every single one of their dragon’s bios had to moved to their tumblr where they couldn’t be easily seen by the site’s mainly underage usebase.

Their lore centered around their progen dragon, a tundra named Zalvador, which behaved and had the same powers as a flight rising user: buying dragons off of the action house, having “breeding projects”, exalting dragons, etc.

These things seem pretty normal when done by a player, but when taking them as actual real things that happen in universe… yeah, it was way too morbid for the site.

The Pit

Black linen neck wraps

For some weird reason, the apparel piece “Black linen neck wrap” when put on a male pose Coatl wraps around the dragon’s throat instead of it’s neck. It’s kind of subtle and hard to see, but if you compare it with the female pose the difference is clear. This is probably just an art error, although it’s weird that it hasn’t been fixed yet, since linen wraps are a very old piece of apparel.

Another weird thing about linen wraps in general is that the wing wraps just sort of… go through the membrane? This is not possible. These dragons are in pain.

Icewarden ears

Another very remarkably popular thread is the Icewarden ears thread.

In 2014 user “Llanai” simply makes note of the fact that the Icewarden has teeny tiny ears.

As we have come to expect from these threads, it quickly devolved into nonsense.

Forbidden Snapper lore

Snappers used to have a way different lore section that was changed because it deemed too similar to the lore of another petsite.

This is what the original section read:

"Snapper dragons do not sleep, but exist in a constant state of reverie. They receive and catalogue all experiences and stories told within their dreams. This persistent state of awakened dreaming awards them the longest memory of any dragon species. They are living encyclopedias, and any dragon who is seeking difficult-to-obtain information will have the most luck unearthing it from a Snapper clan - provided they have the patience for it. If you want two dozen quick answers, talk to a spiral. If you want a fully developed answer, camp out around a Snapper. These dreamers move at their own pace, which varies from dragon to dragon. For some, the awakened dream can prove to be more interesting than their surroundings. This leads to a focus upon the dream, and the waking world as filtered background noise. Interacting with these sleepwalkers can be a trying and repetitive task. Other Snappers may be fairly lucid, with a focus upon their surroundings and the constant hum of the dream pushed aside."

Bee movie script

I’ve seen this story around the forums a few times but I’ve never been able to learn the details.

From what I’ve heard someone copy pasted the entire bee movie script into their clan bio in a drop down text format, which completely broke the page for anyone who visited it. This was fixed, apparently, although I have no clue as to who this user is.

EDIT 28/06: Zeus

Zeus is an XXX gold g1 permababy imperial that used to belong to user "happywing".

Their account is now locked because Zeus was created with the use of a duplication glitch on an imperial breed change scroll, which is obviously not allowed (although I've heard some people say that the dragon was hacked in altogether). Before the account was locked, people speculated that Zeus was the most valuable dragon on the site, because an XXX g1 imperial is impossibly rare.

Wegg shaming

On July 2017 user “Dreamnorn” made a thread were they(?) claimed to have a dream where everything was the same except people used the term “wegged” when two dragons would lay only one egg in a nest.

Ex. Aw man! I’ve been wegged again! = Aw man! I bred two dragons and they only had one egg!

The dream ended up being prophetic, as the term catched on and people started to use it unironically.

The practice of “Wegg shaming” I think refers to the trend of people posting pictures of the dragons that “wegged” them in order to “shame” them.

Plague nest skull

The site art of the plague nest features an unique dragon skull that doesn’t match with any currently existing dragon breed or creature: It appears to have two sets of eyes, like a mirror, but also long and curled horns.

It’s probably just for decoration and it likely doesn’t have any significance whatsoever, but personally I believe it would be pretty cool if when they eventually release plague ancient it at least somewhat resembled this skull.

EDIT 28/06: On second thought, the skull doesn’t seem to have two pairs of eyes, It just has the generic shape of a carnivore.

Rock bottom

CAPTAINPLANET

…this is CAPTAINPLANET. Somehow, user “Decres”' managed to overlay a Fae skin on top of a Tundra, creating this horrifyingly fascinating abomination.

I have no idea how she did this, and she seems pretty adamant to tell.

EDIT 28/06: People have pointed out that this skin overlay glitch was actually somewhat common (although I still haven't found another dragon like CAPTAINPLANET). What you had to do was breed change a dragon while attaching a skin to them in another tab.

This glitch has been patched and such thing is no longer possible.

Lair 46264

A cursed lair.

Dreams

I’ve seen a lot of people, both on forums and on Tumblr, sharing dreams they had about Flight Rising.

A lot of people dream of just being on the site, while occasionally weird things happen.

I’ve read of people who dreamed the distribution of a new breed, buying an exclusive item, a new Fiona feat or Swipp trade, or just browsing the forums.

The most common type of Flight rising-associated dream I’ve seen however is being caught multiaccounting and having their account banned.

I’m no psychoanalyst, but I think it’s pretty clear that these nightmares stem from the paranoia of being banned from their beloved petsite instead of showing any actual intention of doing the “crime” in question.

Anyways, I think it’s fascinating how so many people dream about this site, and it reminds me of the dreams people claimed to have about Mario 64 where completely new levels were added or a scary monster appeared.

Dragon Slime

Dragon Slime was an infamous thread which was supposed to be start off point for an ARG.

It was deleted because it was considered too “spammy” and also because ARGs are banned from the forums. The thread has been lost, unfortunately.

EDIT 28/06: Thanks to @randompurple-fr for providing screenshots of the dragon slime tutorial! You can find them here

Cucumber

Cucumber is the only dragon ever to have been exalted with a skin, which is something that should not be possible. This raises some questions as to what exactly did the person that exalted them do to achieve this, but we have no way of knowing who Cucumber belonged to.

EDIT 28/06: Actually, we do know who used to Cucumber belonged to! Its owner was Osiem: an official flight rising artist. I couldn’t find the thread where they(?) acknowledged the glitch though, if someone has it please let me know!

5 Day Stay

| Or, Angel down bad for a week |

Angel x F!Reader

Warnings: language, infidelity, Angst (?), lil bit chili spice at the end

Mon:

Angel felt he was too young to consistently feel so bone-tired, yet that’s how his day had been ending for weeks now. Sometimes it was all he could do to get off his bike and make it to the door, only to have to rest his head against it to prepare to make it to the couch and collapse.

Tonight was one of those nights, and he wanted to be dead to the world until it dragged him back into it.

It was the smell of mixed spices that hit him first. It felt like he was in suspended animation, and slowly being released as different things started to register to him.

His TV was on, someone was rummaging through his kitchen, and music played faintly from his desk. Thinking back to the last time an unwanted guest was in his kitchen, he placed a hand on the holstered knife fastened to his back.

The fridge door closed, and you appeared in the window, eyes focused intently on whatever you were cooking on the stove.

He exhaled, feeling like complete shit. It only spoke to how weary his mind was that he could forget you were staying with him for the next week. Especially after the conversation that led to it.

“I don’t know Angel…really I can afford a motel for a few days.”

“Here? Rusted-through pipes will be the last thing your landlord is worried about when you bring back bedbugs and shit.”

Your eyes had widened at that, but still you brought up the thing that had been chained to your hesitation. “I mean….do you think it’s ok to do this? After we…Nails..Ang-“

He remembered a flash of irritation, more so at himself than you, when you said that. “Yes querida, fuck. If you’re so scared, I most likely won’t even be there the way things are going. Nails is out of town til’ next weekend…”

“Relax Ignacio.” you had cut your eyes at him, and he’d felt his dick jump like it did whenever you gave him attitude. “I’m just not trying to be a problem.”

Your voice calling his name brought him to the present. He caught the last part of your statement, that you didn’t know he’d be back.

“Yeah, we got in earlier than expected.”

“While you’re standing there like a weirdo, let me shame you real quick. How does a man in his thirties still have the kitchen of a frat boy?” You leaned on the sill of the divider. “You’re lucky I already knew you were sad in the kitchen. I had to bring my own tagine.”

He stepped into the kitchen, his stomach coming alive with interest. “One, I don’t know what that is, two, I can’t help it if the kitchen isn’t my preferred room of work.”

He peeked over your shoulder, but the unique pot kept him from seeing what you were making.

“Neither is the bedroom, unless that work is piling up dirty laundry.” you stuck your tongue out at him and turned back to your simmering dish.

“Ha ha. Dinner and a show, she does it all folks!” he collapsed at the table, the day catching back up with him. “Should put your ass on the club’s payroll. End the cashflow problem real quick.”

You turned to him, concern etched on your face. “I heard from Hank about that…sorry. I know now isn’t a great time for that at all.”

Things got awkward like they always did when you referenced the recent changes of his life. He wasn’t sad about getting another chance at fatherhood, this one more tangible than the last. However, he wasn’t entirely sold on everything he’d accepted along with it, and he was pretty sure you at least suspected that. It threw the previously comfortable confusion that was your relationship off track when it was touched on.

“No, it’s not.” was all he could manage.

It was quiet for a beat, the simmering of the food and quiet Neo Soul the only sounds.

“Well,” you started, turning off the burner. “At least you don’t have to eat like a ‘we got food at the house’ meme for once.”

He laughed, a genuine and needed laugh. “Ok, you know what? Keep talking about my pantry stocking skills, and I might take it personally.”

The rest of his night went that way. Anytime you and Angel got together, things were just…easy…better. You spent the evening eating in front of the TV (Angel getting all the way to thirds for what turned out to be olive chicken and roasted potatoes), trading jokes, and going over the finer points of Golden Girls. Angel learned you took it very seriously, and mocked you for being “old”.

It wasn’t until you were nodding off, and he was left with his own thoughts, that he realized he hadn’t enjoyed coming home this much since he moved in.

Tues:

Angel had dreamed he’d been back in his childhood home, but as a grown man. There was music coming from his parent’s room, and when he got to the doorway, his mom was at her dressing table. She hummed along to the soulful seventies music and smiled at him from the mirror. She said something, but he couldn’t make it out, and woke up in the frustration.

He jerked up from his position on his stomach, and slowly came to. With a grunt he wiped his hand down his face, glancing at his phone to find it was six in the afternoon.

It then occurred to him the music wasn’t just in his dream, it was coming from his bathroom. He got off the couch and followed the sound.

“Hey coma head.” you grinned at him from where you were doing your makeup.

He shook his head, trying to let go of the last vestiges of the dream, and how eerie the scene before him was.

He focused instead on the nightmare of products and alien looking tools surrounding you.

He kind of liked the mess, even if he couldn’t see the counter anymore.

“Hey hurricane Ulta.”

You made a face that was a cross between being amused and suspicious. “You sleep in your jeans and buy your shirts in pack form. Don’t act like you know what that is.”

He made a face of mock offense. “That’s so classist.”

This time you paused completely in you what you were doing and twisted your body to meet him. “Uh oh…let me find out you’re actually learning something from EZ.”

“Angel Reyes can know something about something, damn.”

You laughed, lowering your hands from where you’d been lining your eyes to avoid a mistake. “I’m only teasing you Angel Reyes.”

“Looks like you plan on teasing more than me. Some clown is gonna get his hopes and tiny dick up for nothing.”

“There’s this new club in the city that Belinda’s getting us into. It’s bad luck to buy your own drinks on the first night at a new place.” you adjusted the bodycon mini-dress for emphasis. “You doing anything?”

“Club shit.” he started picking through the products, sniffing them every so often. “Then I think I’ve got a call with Nails at some point.”

“You think?” you popped his hands when he got too close to the good stuff, or the things you were using currently.

“Yeah..I think.” he shrugged, only realizing how short he sounded when you winced.

He didn’t know why he got so annoyed when she was brought up around you. He wasn’t like that with anyone else, and he knew you were only trying to support his incoming changes.

“Ok..”

Awkward silence settled in before he found the words to break it.

“Why do you wanna know? You want me to be that clown?”

“Never.” you pinched his cheek, tone pure saccharine jest.

He muttered in Spanish, stepping around you to the toilet.

“Angel!” you exclaimed.

“What?! It’s my bathroom, I have to piss.”

“You better never make me angry Reyes, I could end your whole Casanova game with ease."

Wed:

“You holding on a little tight there mami!” Angel called over his shoulder with a laugh. “You said go fast."

“Shut up!” you giggled, but he wasn’t lying.

You’d asked Angel to take you to work on his bike since even though you spent so much time with bikers, you hardly got to ride one. You were going to the same place anyways. He had been all too happy to shake up his commute, but your speed challenge took it over the top.

He didn’t know how you were up so early, he personally felt like the bags under his eyes were like a PEZ dispenser. You’d gotten in at two am, and still got up with him at eight.

He loved watching you in the morning, you managed to be cheerful without being obnoxious, and it worked better than coffee for him.

He loved how much he was learning about you.

As he pulled onto the street beside the cafe you’d asked him to stop at, he felt your arms uncoil from around him. He may have pretended to shift just to make you pause and hold him a few seconds longer, but he wasn’t going to acknowledge that.

“I didn’t scream, and I’m not shaking, so you still have to buy my breakfast.” You unclipped your helmet, grinning the whole time.

You looked so pretty to him, with the sun hitting your eyes and hair just right. He could catch you at just the right moment, and you’d look so gorgeous, he struggled to believe you were real.

He cleared his throat, afraid his voice would crack if he didn’t. “Fair enough, come break my pockets then.”

You laughed, squeezing his chin and pointing out his pout. “You don’t even have to tell me once sir, I know my worth.”

Once inside, he trailed after you to the counter, using your head like an arm rest when you reached it. “That’s good.”

“Boy!” You swatted his hand away, and it was his turn to laugh at your adorable pout.

“New bet,” he stepped around you while the customer ahead of you wrapped up. “If I get your entire order just right, you buy lunch.”

“Deal.” you leaned on the counter, eyebrow raised at him in challenge.

Angel knew the best part of his day would be watching your expression go from smug to shocked out of the corner of his eye. He nailed every pastry, the iced coffee, and their preparation with ease.

The simultaneously impressed and amused barista looked to you for confirmation. She got a shocked nod in response.

“I know my worth too mama, so don’t skimp on lunch.”

“Fair enough.” You shook off your shock as you repeated his earlier words and shrugged. “Can’t complain I guess. I trained my work husband too well.”

He scoffed loudly, and the two of you went back to swapping smart ass barbs while he tried to ignore the lingering dip his stomach did when referred to him as “husband”.

Thurs:

Angel was a grown man, with years of grown man experience, yet he was sitting on the edge of his bed feeling like a teenager again.

The end of your stay was nearing, and every time he thought about you going back home, he felt weird. He was pretty sure that’s why he’d been a little snappy and annoyed easily at the club the past couple days. He just wasn’t ready to delve into that too much.

Regardless, he had to admit you had some growing effect over him. All morning, while he should’ve been resting and preparing for a charter visit, he was fighting off hard-ons thanks to you.

“Can I borrow your kitchen for the day Angel?” He mimicked your voice in a nasally mocking tone. “I’ll save you some when I’m done baking.”

He’d thought nothing of it when you asked the night before. Really didn’t even feel like you had to at that point.

He realized why when he saw that the desserts you were making for your friend’s brunch were elaborate as hell. The effort took all your attention, and unfortunately for him, his too.

You were baking a lot more than dessert and didn’t even know it.

Now he was hiding in his room, fighting off arousal he knew wasn’t appropriate. You weren’t his and he wasn’t yours.

That didn’t change the fact that you in a short silk lounge set, singing in French (how the hell did you know French?), doing domestic things in his home, did it for him.

He ran a hand over his hair, still damp from his cold shower, and forced himself to finish getting dressed. He had to be ready to face a room of dangerous bikers and prove his patched in worth. He couldn’t be thinking of weird little fantasies and parallels to his parent’s marriage.

He must’ve zoned out again, because you startled him enough to almost make him hit his wardrobe.

“Oh my god Angel try this! I think I did magic.” You excitedly thrust a red cookie his way.

Angel took the offered treat, and found it was a red velvet cookie. “It’s fucking good mi dulce.”

“Really?” You looked so hopeful, so beautiful, that he would’ve lied if the situation called for it.

“Yes, but you know you kill it in the kitchen.” He turned away to put on the flannel he’d fished out.

Now you were in his personal space, smelling amazing, and all his senses were under attack. He couldn’t trust Angel jr. at the moment.

“Baking is different. It’s a whole thing for me...I go all in.”

“I noticed your little Broadway production in my kitchen.” He kneeled down, pretending to look for his shoes as something to do while you were there.

“Don’t shame me.” You pressed your foot into his back, gently pushing him. “It makes for better results.”

‘shit.’ He cursed mentally at the contact.

Luckily, he heard you turn to leave the room. “Oh, EZ said to tell you to hurry up or pick up your phone.”

He rose up once you were gone and checked his phone. Sure enough, he had several missed calls and texts from Gilly, Coco, and EZ. He cursed aloud this time and finished getting ready, determined not to get distracted again.

Of course, his boys having to physically come in and get him when he did just that destroyed that promise.

Fri:

It had come down to the last night of your stay with him, and what he thought was a favor to a good friend, turned out to be more for his benefit.

The hell with the club seemed so far away when he was home now, and he’d laughed more times that week than he had the previous few months total.

Tonight though… Tonight had him so in his head he didn’t know if he was coming or going.

You, sensing something was going on with him, had invited EZ and Felipe to dinner. He didn’t know how you got the latter to agree, his dad had never even been in his home before, but you did it. It went over a hell of a lot better than the last time they tried it too.

The missteps that reared their head when his family tried to talk to each other at length were mitigated by you. You were the perfect buffer, able to get them to engage with you and then each other.

He saw his family in an unfamiliar, but favorable light. His father was actually enjoying his time with him in his house. He knew that night wouldn’t have happened if not for you.

Now, as he distractedly dried the dishes you’d washed, listening to you hit all of the high notes in Loving You, it hit him.

‘She should be my wife’ the thought came so quick, and was so loud he almost jumped, confused if it came from him or someone else.

“Hey dishwasher-less!” you nudged him with your hip. “Move those hands.”

“Why can’t we be a thing?” he blurted.

You dropped the silverware you’d been washing, eyes wide and focused on him. “Um..excuse m-…what?”

He knew that wasn’t the most tactful way to introduce his thoughts to you, but it was his way. Fuck…he didn’t even understand them fully himself.

“You heard me querida,” he put the dish down on the counter, turning to you. “When I stayed with you that weekend that my head was all fucked up-“

“Angel.” your tone made it a warning, but he kept going. He was never afraid of a challenge.

“I was inside you so much that weekend I forgot that’s not how I came in this world. I can’t believe I’m saying it out loud, but I felt home cause I was with you-”

“Stop it!” you hit the sink, rattling the contents.

“Fuck that!” he shouted back, startling you both. He stayed silent for a moment before speaking in a calmer tone. “Fuck that. Why can’t we talk about it? Why couldn’t we talk about it then?”

You didn’t say anything, but he saw your chest heaving with adrenaline, and realized you were just as affected by the conversation as he was.

“You just decided it didn’t matter and put it in this space we can’t touch now. It’s all fucked up!”

“Because,” you hissed. “If you remember, it was all over that Adelita chick, and I don’t know what kind of hold she has or had over you, but it was deep.”

He cringed at that, and turned his attention to the light fixture over your head, unable to meet your heated gaze.

“Whatever feelings I have for you Angel, I put them away in a place where I can still be your friend and keep things in perspective.”

“Feelings you have for me?” he latched on to the lack of past tense, hopeful.

You inhaled sharply. “You are having a baby and just got engaged. What is wrong with you?”

“Nothing..I mean a lot, but nothing to do with this. I know-“

“I know,” you pushed away from the sink and reached up to cup his cheeks. “That you’re scared Angel. You’re scared, because you’re gonna take two steps you’ve never taken before at once, and you’re trying to sabotage it.”

He shook his head, taking your hands from his face and holding them tightly in his own. “No..mi dulce, no. I’ve been struggling with this all week, longer if I’m being honest. Tonight sealed it.”

You snorted humorlessly, looking around the kitchen as if something in the room would help you get through to him. “I cook you some big boy meals, and treat your speakers to some musical taste, and you’re ready for vows?”

“Don’t put this all on me. Tell me you don’t feel it. Right here and now, to my face.”

He watched your expression soften, and let you put one hand back on his face, your thumb gently stroking his cheek. “Ok, I can’t do that, but I also can’t just fall into a situation with you either.”

He scoffed and shook his head. “We both know we didn’t just fall into anything. We sat here and let it build and didn’t say shit, and now I have to. This week just made it too real not to.”

He placed his forehead to yours, his own hands cupping your face. “Please…”

He watched you have an internal battle by your changing features before you finally leaned into him. The moment you did, his lips were on yours.

He knew it was more than just a kiss a few seconds in. Everything he’d felt that the previous week was alive and confirmed between you too. He could feel you telling him you had moments like his own.

He palmed your thighs under your sundress before grasping them tightly and lifting you up. He placed you on the counter while you two separated for air. Your chests heaved in unison, and neither of you had to say you wanted the other touching you again before it happened.

He gripped your hair, tilting your head back for access to your neck. The smell of vanilla and cocoa butter surrounded him as he worked his mark all over your skin.

Your legs wrapped around his waist, and you pressed yourself against his jeans.

He hated he couldn’t feel the heat he knew was emitting from your core through the thick material of his jeans, and slid his other hand up your thigh to your panties.

Your entire body twitched when he ran his fingers over you through the thin cloth. It wasn’t just hot it was soaked.

“You need me that bad mami?” he pulled away from your neck, satisfied with his work, and beginning to work at his jeans.

“And quick.” you breathed into his ear, your tone and the sensation making him shudder.

The ache against his jeans didn’t need to be told twice to find its way into your heat. He slid your panties to side and pressed his thumb against you. You jumped, whimpering your need again, and he pulled your panties way from you.

You’d gotten them around one ankle before he was inside of you, and they were no longer your focus.

You clung to each other so tightly there’d be evidence on both of you.

In the quiet, he wondered if your mind was racing with the same thoughts that his was. What now? How do we get this again?

He pressed kisses to your cheek just as he started to move. You inhaled, your nails sliding down his back. Not quite catching the skin, but enough to set him on fire all the same.

He mapped out a rhythm by your whimpers and how you grasped at him until he crafted the right one.

This was the conversation he’d needed. Every thrust from him, every cry from you, every bit of give and take to heighten the other’s pleasure. The two of you were admitting that everything that was between you was deeper, realer than you’d wanted to admit. He loved you, and you loved him, and you were engraving that on one another.

The flirtation, the way you could be yourselves around each other, the heatless jabs. Good friends was always a ruse.

Your face was buried in his neck, and when he felt dampness he knew came from your tears, he hiked your legs higher, moving deeper.

You cried out so loudly it echoed in the kitchen, drowning out the soft crooning of an eighties songstress.

“I know baby, I feel it too.” his voice was choked by the threat of tears of his own.

He’d never been here before. Not with Adelita, not even close with Nails. He was terrified. Terrified for it to end because he never felt so good. Terrified for it to end because it might never happen again.

“Angel..” your voice sounded so small, but it was strong enough to anchor him back with you. “I’m close, I’m so close.”

“Let go,” he encouraged. “Let me have it querida.”

Your body seized up with your release, his name the only thing he caught in your unintelligible babble.

You clenched up repeatedly in the aftershocks, and that drug him over the edge with you, biting your shoulder.

His vision tunneled, pinpricks of pleasure traveling up and down his spine. Your hands smoothed up and down the area, and he realized it was because he was shuddering.

He gripped the counter for support, pulling back slowly. He was searching for a way to ask if he’d changed your mind, but the act hadn’t made words for his thoughts any easier to find.

It didn’t matter, before he could even speak you stopped him. Your eyes were glazed over with tears that had nothing to do with pleasure this time.

“That was all that I can give you Angel. It’s not right, none of this is, but it’s all I can give you.”

AN:

Am I the only one who wishes she had reference photos for their home/club layouts? Lol, it’s such a weird non-factor thing, but still. From memory, I’m pretty sure Angel only has one bedroom though.

No shade, no hate but this was partially inspired by how over Nails Angel looked when she was putting her back into it….🥴

I played with a few canon-timeline things + knocked the dust off my smut writing ability (I’m going under my humiliation rock now, no calls plz)
