Shades of Silver

"Are you really still not going to say anything, seriously? How long have we been trapped like this and he's still not saying anything? If they really were me, they would have said something by now," The hedgehog to her left had been ranting on and off for over an hour now, "Blaze, you must have realised the truth by now, right? I'm the real Silver, he's some sort of imposter. He's not answering any of my questions or..." The psychic's words continued to fill the air as Blaze rubbed her temples.

The guardian of the Sol Emeralds was sat within the dungeon of her palace, on an archaic bench that surely hadn't seen use for a century. She frankly couldn't remember the last time she'd been down here, it had surely been when she was a child or a young teen at the latest. The basement was far from well maintained, disused for centuries at this point as criminals now typically went to proper prisons rather than directly beneath the seat of power. This collection of cells was perhaps the only place in the palace that Gardon didn't dare tidy.

Before her stood two matching versions of Silver the hedgehog, held in side-by-side cells with their hands cuffed between the bars. Both of them looked to be approximately the same age, even if recent experiences marked them both differently. The first to arrive had been covered in soot and so had been quick to clean himself up, while the second still wore countless dark stains upon his white fur. There was also the matter of bandaging, tending the hedgehog's wounds was typically the first thing they did together upon his return from whatever timeline he'd found himself in- only the first psychic to arrive had been afforded that effort.

That latter truth led to the reality Blaze had been ruminating on ever since she'd taken this seat. It would be a lie to say that she hadn't noticed any abnormality in the first Silver upon his arrival... but, though she surely couldn't stand to admit it, she had been rather swept up in those differences. Perhaps even captivated by them?

He'd met her at the beachfront, that had become their most frequent rendezvous point. The dimension hopper had stumbled out from a whirling blue portal, as he did more commonly than not when able to return by his own hand. The soot covered hedgehog had tumbled right into her lap, landing chest to chest with her. Rather than quickly rise, the hedgehog had hugged her tighter than ever and murmured endlessly about how much he'd missed her.

She'd tried to drag him back to the palace, but he hadn't been so quick to seek treatment. While he told her of the world he'd survived, the hedgehog had repeatedly rerouted them to wander. The two had ended up strolling the beachside, then waltzing over waves he'd hardened with psychic power. They'd practically danced around the entire island's perimeter, wandering over rock pools and beneath leaping dolphins. He'd told her of his time away, of the terrible state he'd found the world in and his plan to make it better, but he'd worn a smile rather than his usual sullen seriousness. His talk would always return to how happy he was to be here again. To be with her again.

When they'd finally arrived at the castle grounds he'd literally swept her off of her feet, one of his arms around her shoulders and the other beneath her knees. Before the cat could blink they were floating, less than a moment later soaring; flying over the royal gardens and around to her bedroom window. With no more than the wave of a single finger the balcony windows had opened and he'd carried the cat over the threshold, letting them in without so much as Gardon noticing. He'd grinned at her, much too proud of himself, and forgotten to put her down for far too long.

In the private sanctum that was the royal bedchamber, she'd managed to finally force him to sit still and take treatment. They'd spoke for hours about the world he'd arrived in, all the while she'd tended his wounds. He'd told her of the impossible future he'd arrived in, of a world where the earth beneath his feet would writhe and flex as if it was a living creature. He'd seen eyes in the dirt, jaws made of stone, and clay arms grasping up- all of which came in countless shapes and sizes. Apparently he'd been pushed across an entire continent by a giant wave of earthen refuse, struggling to keep himself on the surface of that impossible tidal wave. If he hadn't cast the portal in front of himself, it sounded like he'd have been thrown off of the continent and into whatever had become of the sea.

The whole time hey'd sat together, there'd been a certain tension had hung in the air; he'd worn a certain bashfulness that she hadn't often seen from him. The hedgehog was always clingy upon his return, but this time he had been more extreme. His touch had lingered upon her forearms, her cheeks, and further so very casually, so comfortably. No fewer than thrice he'd leaned in so very close with an over serious expression on his muzzle, but when she'd pry as to what was on his mind he'd turn away and mutter a half-hearted excuse. He'd grown more and more regretful in the aftermath of each ask; the cat had thought she was doing something wrong, that perhaps his wounds were more serious than she'd anticipated.

Well, she'd tried to convince herself of that likely reality, rather than consider certain other imagined truths.

Her administering of aid had been interrupted by a knock at the balcony window. Blaze had turned after securing another bandage, expecting some poorly timed prank from Marine, only to find herself face to face with another Silver. She'd thrown a look back at the psychic she'd tended only to find a look not of surprise on his face, but realisation; Blaze knew for certain that the first hedgehog hadn't been shocked to see another of himself. From then on, that version's actions had only gotten stranger.

That first Silver wasn't even looking at her- he'd turned away and kept his face to the far cell wall, not even looking in the direction of the more talkative Silver. Unlike the other one, this hedgehog had simply done as she'd commanded without a word of complaint. She hadn't ever led Silver down here before but the hedgehog had seemed to know exactly where he was going, even walking into a cell by himself. Without hesitation, and before she could request it, he'd shut the door and stuck his arms through the bars to be cuffed.

Peculiar as his actions were, they weren't those of an invader. For one, if anything, he was making himself look more suspicious with his current charade than he had been while roaming free. He'd let himself be walked to the dungeons and locked up, even though he was obscuring his face it wasn't as if he was truly hiding anying. Regardless, going from talkative and kindly to mute wasn't doing anyone any favours, no matter what his origins were. If he was meant to be some sort of threat, he was doing an extremely unthreatening job.

The Silver on her left had stopped talking, the feline looked up. He was staring out at her, fingers caressing the chains connecting his handcuffs. The sight of him in this position was odd enough, let alone there being a second version stood only separated from him by a thick stone wall.

"You've gone quiet now too..." Contemplation had claimed his expression, "Could it be that I'm in the wrong dimension?"

"I'm sorry, I was just thinking. I don't think you're in the wrong dimension," Blaze answered, "I don't think either of you are."

"What, you think this guy is my future self or something?" Clearly he'd had the same thoughts as her already, "But if that's the case, why isn't he saying anything! Why did he fight me?"

"You attacked him first," Blaze bluntly pointed out.

"Right, but if he'd just said something I would have stopped," The talkative Silver kicked the cell wall that separated them, "Why aren't you talking?!"

The second psychic didn't so much as flinch as a stone tumbled free and into his side. He was still facing that wall, head practically tucked into the front left corner of his cell. Despite his attempts to obscure his face, the potential time traveller's body language was easy to read. That Silver was buried deep in though, keeping his musings contained behind his lips- unlike the one on the left.

Moments after his arrival at her window, once the floating hedgehog had locked eyes with his sat counterpart, he had smashed through the glass and surged toward his doppelganger self. A psychokinetic brawl erupted in the heart of the royal bedchamber; palm-strikes and psychic shockwaves had shook the space and tossed clutter all across her room. The pair bounced off of each other, their abilities perfectly neutralising one another- that was until the stained hedgehog had crouched with his feet planted against the far wall.

That Silver had pounced enveloped in a sparkling aura, sending cracks through her bedroom wall as he flew with palms raised. His bounding attempt was caught by his mirror image; grasps locked and psychic energy sparked like lightning. Harnessing the leaping hedgehog's momentum, his standing counterpart spun him around before launching him back into that already cracked wall. The second hedgehog smashed through brick but was quick to rise, his body still fully aglow.

It was only in the wake of one gaining the upper hand that Blaze dared to intervene; throwing a fireball between the pair and having it expand to form a blockade. From then on the bandaged Silver hadn't so much as grunted, no matter how the other chastised and barked. It was only when she had raised the solution of separating them for interrogation that he had so much as moved, on the walk to the basement he had simply stewed in quiet contemplation and thrown the occasional scathing look at his double. Even though he was still refusing to talk, a choice which had greatly impacted the interrogation, the guardian was certain he was assessing his counterpart with the same scrutiny as he was being analysed with.

"It's obvious he's the fake, isn't it? If he was like me he could break out of these cuffs without even trying," The Silver on her left insisted, "Watch."

The hedgehog braced against the bars with his boot and stared to lean back. Cyan light flared bright, the hum of psychic might filled their quiet surroundings to echo deeper into the dungeon. His teeth grit as the feline jumped to her feet.

"I know you can break free," Blaze stepped closer, "Coming down here was a test of willingness and to separate you both so you'd stop fighting, you don't need to-

The bar broke before the cuffs could; the hedgehog was sent tumbling back over himself. He crashed backwards, slamming the back of his head through a hanging bench made of long rotten wood.

"Are you okay?" She asked, already mostly knowing the truth.

"I'm fine," His already stained fur was now a shade greener.

There was something strange in his tone, more than just embarrassment. Silver often got angry at himself; when it came to saving the world, he'd beat himself up whether he was successful or not. This was different though, an emotion he hadn't really experienced from him. The cat couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"I'll get you cleaned up when this is all over," She promised, battling back her own overthinking, "We just need to sort whatever is happening here first and make sure we're safe. My world might be in danger from one of you two, I can't put my people at risk."

His expression softened, "You're right. I shouldn't-

"Okay," The Silver to her right finally spoke, Blaze's head spun, "I think, with him having broken the bench, I can start talking now."

"What do you mean start talking now?" The one to her left grumbled, dusting off his quills from his still prone position.

"The me in this cell didn't start talking until I'd fallen over last time," The right Silver exposited.

"Last time?" The left Silver groaned.

"I am indeed a future version of the hedgehog in the cell to my right," He explained, eyes still locked on the wall furthest from the other hedgehog.

"You're only admitting that now, after we explained that was a possibility," Blaze tutted, glowering at him, "You understand how that looks, don't you?"

"I do, unfortunately," The hedgehog sighed, "But, like I said, the version of me in this cage didn't start talking until I'd put my head through the bench."

"But it's not as though anything was actually stopping you from talking, was it?" Blaze pushed back, "Taking his falling as a good point to start talking, that seems much too simple."

"I know he just put his head through the bench," He pointed out, "Isn't that proof?"

"That's easy enough to guess," Blaze rationalised, though she was slightly convinced, "You heard him at the bars and you heard him fall back. It makes sense that he'd go through head first."

A quiet pause filled the stagnant air, leaving a void which Blaze easily filled with thoughts. There was a reason she had come up with this as a hypothesis, it was what made the most sense and was the most obvious. Neither of the hedgehogs stood before her had truly caused any trouble or harm to her kingdom, only to each other and her bedroom. One had been given the perfect opportunity to attack or hold her captive, the other had been free to travel the islands and steal the Sol emeralds, but neither had taken advantage of those most ideal situations. Both hedgehogs, albeit one more begrudgingly than the other, had let themselves be brought down here and incarcerated. There was no true malice in either of them, no sign of a darker motive. Perhaps he was telling the truth, but she couldn't act on a hypothesis alone...

"Look, I just don't want..." The other Silver still wasn't looking her way, "To risk altering the timeline. Other me, you should be committing all that I say to memory. I would have told one of you to grab a notebook but the older version of me didn't do that last time, didn't mention it until now, so I can't chance it."

"You're even scared to make the wrong face, that you'll change something by doing that," Blaze realised aloud.

"That's stupid," The lying Silver fumed.

"It can take less than the flap of a butterfly wing to change the future," Despite the angle of his muzzle, Blaze could tell by his figure that the hedgehog was still more than a little frustrated by his counterpart, "Well, I'm hoping that much won't change things drastically enough to undo all of our work. I don't remember everything this version of me said and did perfectly..."

"What do you mean undo our work?" The once fallen Silver had finally hopped back to his feet.

"Come on, we both know this better than anyone," The other Silver hissed, "Changing the past changes the future. If I change your experience, I change my own."

"Even if what you're saying is true," The now risen Silver scoffed, "We've not been affected by time paradoxes ever since that first one with Solaris. Why would changing things matter now?"

"Right, we haven't been affected, but the worlds we travel to have been replaced time and time again," He half shouted over, still facing the wrong way, "We probably weren't even born anymore, but the futures we would have been born into have been shaped by how we've change in the past. If I say the wrong thing and slip up, it might mean you'll act differently and that could result in a different future when you return to see how the world next ends."

"What, you're thinking that a few minor changes will be enough to make a time paradox that will rewrite all of the time paradoxes you've supposedly caused?" Silver questioned, "Considering all the effort it takes for me to change history, what damage could a few minor shifts actually do?"

"I don't think it's worth chancing," The other countered, "And you won't either when you're in my position, not if you value the lives we're saving."

"Well now it sounds like you're trying to make me the villain in this situation," The second arrival followed up, "I think you're trying to make Blaze take your side while explaining as little as possible."

"He's only saying what he is now because you will go on to say it, having heard it from him in your then past which is now..." Blaze considered aloud.

"You can't tell him about the future I've come from," The right Silver very quickly informed her, "You didn't when I was stood in that cell and you never did afterwards."

"Well, if you won't talk about our future, how are we mean to prove that I'm going to become you?" The left Silver countered.

"You still don't get it, I can talk about our future," The apparent older hedgehog grumbled, "Just only the parts I already heard myself say."

"Then when are you from in my future, how much further on? That's the first question that came to my mind, so surely you asked it too," The apparent youngster pried.

"I did ask that, but I'm not giving you the answer. You could use it to change my past and your future," The right psychic responded.

"Ignoring the future, you can surely talk about your shared past, correct?" Blaze cut in.

"I can now that you've asked me," He answered, "What do you want to know?"

"Oh so you'll answer her questions, just not mine," The other Silver grumbled out, "He's trying to get on your side again Blaze, trying to turn you against me."

"What state was the future he just left in?" Blaze asked, ignoring the more talkative Silver's words but pointing to him, "I haven't heard about that yet, he can confirm it."

"The future he came from is just as destroyed as every one we've found prior. The streets are stalked by creatures from another world coming in all shapes and sizes. Giant worms, three legged lunging spiders, living disks that float through the air, and so much more. All of them implanted with strange circuitry," At the sounds of a grumble from his parallel cage, the older hedgehog continued to elaborate, "His investigation has shown that Eggman was responsible. He sent a message out into space, trying to attract all manner of interstellar travellers only to steal their crafts and combine their technology with his own. He used the guise of alien arrivals to secure meetings with governments across the world, then harnessed some sort of mind control technology to gradually take control. With the aliens to blame, the doctor got our friends on his side," Regret had entered his tone, "He was able to convince them because of a prior invasion by a group called The Black Arms. One by one Sonic, Amy, and everyone else was put under mind control. It was all Eggman's doing."

"Of course Eggman was involved, he's always involved," The second Silver to arrive battered back.

"He's right about everything though, isn't he?" Already able to tell by the crouching hedgehog's frown.

His face scrunched up, that was answer enough, "Yes."

"How could he have known that if he isn't you?" The cat questioned.

"He could have been there in the future, watching me investigate, plotting to take my place. He could even have watched the very past that he's explained happen and then travelled here to match me," The likely younger Silver's hands were tugging at his chest fur, "If that's the case, he must understand the Chaos Emeralds or be able to harness a power like them; he could have timed his arrival to get here before me. We both know he arrived early, I was on time."

"Were you?" The slightly older hedgehog prodded, "You had to come find her, we can't know that for sure."

"I only had to look for her because you took her away!" The left Silver barked, "It doesn't change the fact you were early."

"I don't think I was particularly early," They really weren't getting along, "Though, as my position here does suggest, my most recent journey has gone awry..." The hedgehog made silence only to quickly fill it, "I don't want to explain why that mistake happened, because you might try to avoid it and cause a paradox."

"I won't!" The second Silver harrumphed.

"You might, even subconsciously," The response rang, "Besides, when I was in that cage I didn't get a proper explanation either. I'm not risking a time paradox when I already know this will all work itself out."

"That's very convenient," The left psychic fumed, "Both that you can't explain and that your apparent mistake made you arrive before I did."

"Judging by our current situation, I would argue that the opposite is true," The right sighed, "To be honest, when I arrived I noticed things were slightly different between me and Blaze, but I was exhausted and didn't want to assume anything. I thought it'd just been a long day..."

What did that mean? Blaze felt her heart skip a beat as her mind started to race. Their brief time alone together had brought with it an upwelling of thoughts the cat had been suppressing for a very long time. Was there a reason for that? Did his assumption explain why she felt a spark in the air? Was that Silver's relationship with his present Blaze more-

"If you really are a future me, what am I going to say next?" The potentially younger Silver asked, cutting off her train of thought, "If you are repeating the timeline correctly, then I must be about to say the same as what you did. I'll commit that to memory and be able to recall it when I'm you."

"No, you won't. Because, as I was told and am about to tell you, that won't work because if I do say what you were about to say then you'll surely say something different, resulting in me never having learned what you meant to sau," The hedgehog claimed.

Blaze wasn't sure that was correct, wouldn't the Silver sat in the left cage have to just remember what he thought he was going to say rather than what he literally intended to say? Then again, if the Silver to her right was repeating all he'd heard said, then issues in their shared logic had to be repeated to. After all, it wasn't as though this situation had ever happened to them prior. Well, it had happened to one of them prior? This was all more than a little confusing.

"Fine, I'll be specific, what am I thinking right now?" The second Silver to arrive interrogated.

"That if I was somehow able to guess what you were thinking, you'd be certain I was actually some sort of villainous telepath and that is how I'm deriving all my knowledge," The other Silver bluntly responded, "You came up with that theory just before proposing asking me what you were about to say."

The expression of the Silver who'd asked said it all "Well, you're right but that hasn't improved our situation at all."

"That only would have worked if I was wrong, as it would have proven that I'm a threat pretending to be you," By the flick of his ears, Blaze knew that the Silver on the right had rolled his eyes as he gestured to his supposed prior self, "That's what he's thinking now, to be clear."

Blaze looked to the more frustrated Silver and instantly knew the other was correct. This was exhausting. Despite purportedly being the same person, the two plainly did not get along.

A thought entered Blaze's mind- a stupid idea, the kind that forced her gaze from the pair and to the ground. Were they fighting over her? Was that why the two were so annoyed with each other? The second Silver to arrive would have seen at least the last moments of her time with the first; how he had been sat on the foot of her bed, the space that had only ever been used by him. Well, it still had been, they were the same person! Well, they probably were... either way though, it seemed like-

"Blaze," The left Silver's call stole the cat from her thoughts, "Have you realised something?"

"No," She snapped much too quickly, fidgeting with the keys to their cages, "Be quiet, I'm thinking."

"Why are you taking his side again?" He grumbled back.

"I'm not taking sides," The cat pushed back against him and her own juvenile thoughts, "I'm trying to figure this out."

If the Silver on the right was correct then there was no problem here. The two of them could co-exist, if only they would get along. Presuming that the older hedgehog knew what to do to avoid causing paradoxes, the two could probably even live together in the palace- if not, then spread across her kingdom. Perhaps all would be fine if she could keep the two apart, limiting their risk of damaging the space time continuum. She could split her time between them...

The thought of having two Silvers, still surely competing over her sprang back into the cat's mind. Immediately her brain was flooded with all manner of foolish ideas; of the endless spiral that was their potential battle over her. How often would they fight over her? Would they compete in other ways? Would they try to-

Blaze's fists clenched as she forced away those foolish thoughts, she could send away the older psychic- forward to his own time. The only wrinkle was the evil he could do if he truly was a liar, despite all the sense he was making. If he had been planning something, and her Silver had arrived in time to catch him off guard and stop it, then the apparent older hedgehog was possibly just biding his time. By going along with all this and being affable, she was affording him the benefit of the doubt. What if she sent him away and he was some sort of dimension-jumping shapeshifter, what if he had gained some important information about her kingdom? He'd gone the extra mile, he'd danced her around town rather than letting her treat his wounds immediately...

"Are you okay?" She had been looking down, the feline stared blankly at the pair of them.

"Which one of you said that?" The cat had to ask.

"He did," And "It was me," Rang out in the exact same voice, indicating the Silver on the left, now sat back on the ground.

"Well, he said he thought you'd had a long day," That Silver explained, "Between that and this confusion, I realised you'd been questioning us without us checking in on you."

"He's right," The other piped up, "How are you, has everything been okay today?"

"I'm fine," The cat insisted, "I'm not the focus, we still have-

"Given when I think we are, you should be debating with yourself over how best to spread the Sol Emeralds across the various islands. You want their local inventors to have the opportunity to use them, to upgrade island infrastructure, but you also need to keep the kingdom safe," The future hedgehog accurately predicted, "It's been keeping you up for nights on end... or, at least, it will?"

"Can't you just tell her how to sort that out?" The sitting Silver enquired, "You know, give her the best layout possible? The one she settles on." "I wish," The standing hedgehog grumbled, "By the time you next leave and come back she'll have sorted it, without any help from us..."

"Again?!" His counterpart sounded so frustrated, "We're not good at the royal stuff..."

"Eventually we'll get better at keeping up," Was that another hint? "I mean hopefully, in the future at some point. I've not caught up yet, she keeps surprising me," Probably not, "She's always a step ahead of us..."

"She is, she always is," The second to arrive psychic was grinning.

Now they were on the same side?! A two pronged assault on her from concerned Silvers was the last thing she needed. Whether the one on the right could read minds or was from the future, he still hadn't got it through his head that she didn't take compliments well. At least the one on the left wasn't being argumentative anymore, but this was arguably worse. They were both so naive!

"I can't really blame you for taking my spot," The more talkative hedgehog continued, "That is, if you really are my future self," There were still shades of doubts at least, they weren't a perfectly united front against her, "You've been away for two weeks too, right?"

"A little less this time, due to an emergency escape. Things went wrong in ways I can't explain to you," Just when she thought they would return to bickering, that Silver continued, "All that is to say though, I know what you're feeling, more than just because I've literally been you..."

The second time traveller caught her eyeline, there was panic in his stare, "We probably shouldn't be talking about that right in front of her though, right?"

"Oh, right, yes" Her stare turned to the other psychic, only to find him still facing the corner, "You're not... sorry, I forgot. It's not been that long since I was you but it feels like longer. A lot has happened."

"I'm not what?" A response rang, What's going to happen?"

"That I really shouldn't say, you wouldn't want me to spoil that,," Another answer tutted, "You're going to have to get-

"Will you two please go back to fighting?" The cat couldn't stand to look at them, "This is-

A wave of heat rolled through the dungeon, turning Blaze's head to its source on the far right. Bright orange light flared through the dingy dark of the dungeon as fire swirled to form of a shimmering disk on the cat's far right. Once the disk had fully manifested, flashing and swirling, a much too familiar form stepped through it. A purple feline dressed in a long coat and tights, a grey Sol Emerald in one hand and a ring of rusted keys in the other. If what Blaze thought was happening was truly happening, then she had been right in her assessment of the first Silver to arrive. The second Blaze to enter the dungeon tonight wasn't noticeably older than the first. They looked exactly the same...

"What's that noise?" The Silver on the left called out, too far away to see.

The keys in the other feline's hands were immediately familiar, they were the exact same as the set between her legs. Without so much as blinking the second cat strode up to the far right cell and undid the cuffs of the enclosed hedgehog. For the first time in what felt like it'd been hours Blaze saw that Silver's expression- it was one of complete and utter shock. Meanwhile his prior self in the other cell was moving around his cell, plainly trying to figure out what was happening but lacking the necessary angle to see the second Blaze.

As if it was the most normal thing in the world, that cat went on to unlock the cage she'd presumedly historically locked her partner in. The Silver she'd freed had gone to speak, but the newly manifested guardian had grabbed him by the shoulder; pulling him out of the cell with one swift tug. Before Blaze or he could could pipe up, so very smoothly, so casually, the newly arrived pyrokinetic had captured the lips of her psychic counterpart in her own. The surprise in his eyes was immediate but that Silver quickly melted against the other Blaze's embrace. The cat felt her temperature skyrocket as he melted against that other her; she felt herself bite her tongue and curl her toes. Despite how massively flustering as this was, the guardian couldn't look away.

Words quietly trickled out of the grinning hedgehog's mouth, "So that's how this ended..."

The other feline rolled her eyes, turning to Blaze in the process. She gave no more than a nod, not speaking so much as a word, before disappearing back through the fiery portal with an arm around her Silver's waist. Well, that would be easy to remember.

"Blaze," The remaining hedgehog's voice stole the cat from her thoughts, "What's happening? I can't see."

"You're gone, Silver," She answered, her gaze falling.

'Huh, what?" The hedgehog pressed his head against the bars, still trying to catch a glance of what had already concluded, "What happened?"

Her fingers brushed her lips, was that why he'd been so forward, because she was the same? Was this their future, was it fated? He hadn't looked any older than her Silver; how soon were they destined to become like this? Was he about to make the first move? Would she? Or had she only kissed him then because she'd witnessed it now?! Was that moment set to be the start of their relationship?!

"You'll find out soon enough," Was the only reply she could muster.

paradise!anakin headcanons

minors dni 18+

character(s): anakin skywalker

warnings: lowkey dilf anakin, mention of exhibitionism, female anatomy, mention of smut at the end, anakin acting like a lil scoundrel so he gets u to get mad at him

ugh just the thought of paradise!anakin…

(i can already see the “he doesn’t like sand!” thoughts surfacing in ur head but let’s just put that aside for now. as someone who also hates sand, i find it tolerable on rare occasion)

☥ he would spend one day on his meditative leave actually meditating. but when the memories of you and your sweet sounds echo in his head, the distraction drives him to ask you to come away with him

whisking you away to the outskirts of the galaxy where no one recognizes the two of you

☥ which means he gives himself permission to act on his impulses

holding hands, leading you with his hand around your waist or at the small of your back

kisses on your neck in public so you’ll shy away from him and try to push him away

driving you places and when you open the door for yourself out of habit, he gets pouty bcos “let me open the door for you,”

☥ taking you to a beach (points if its a nudist beach or a beach well known for its accessible coves to escape to for promiscuous activities)

he wears a hawaiian print shirt. basically open except for a few buttons down at the bottom

the already short sleeves have been rolled up some more, so you get some more arm action. he’s got sunglasses he lowers past the bridge of his nose to look at you over them

☥ throwing you over his shoulder in your little bikini bcos he said he’s “keeping you”

tugging your bikini top to him so he can catch a glimpse of your tits. also so you hit him and scold him

slapping a hand on your ass and you push him off bcos “ani, not in front of people,”

“c’mon, they’re not lookin’”

“they are! they definitely are looking!“

“well then, let’s go rendezvous in the beachside restaurant bathroom,”

“don’t look at me like that, we’re staying here,”

☥ he’s just obsessed with the way you look in your swimsuit, nothing but a mess of strings he bought for you just for this occasion

feeling you up in when you lay out to sun tan next to him on a big towel

☥ picking you up effortlessly so he can wrap your legs around his waist. casually flexing his muscle for you. talking normally like nothing’s out of the ordinary

“oh, no! you’re slipping!” grabs both of your ass cheeks

☥ pulling you into him, “i’m gonna throw you in the water now,” picks you up and tosses you in while your protests fall on deaf ears

you breach the surface and blow the water from your lips. “anakin!”

he takes off his shoes, grinning as you’re yelling at him. you splash him and he jumps in after you, making you squeal from the wave he creates

he dips underwater so he can fix his hair out of his face coming up, and he looks for you while you sneak up behind him. hands on his shoulders as you jump up and push him down, dunking him

he resurfaces, mouth falling open in feigned disbelief. “oh, you wanna play it like that, huh?”

“no! no!” you’re giggling, trying to swim away but he grabs your ankle, dragging you back to him by his hands crawling up your leg

“you wanna play it like that?”

“no, ani! truce! truce!”

you’re squealing as he stoops, hoisting your middle onto his shoulder and leaping up, throwing you back into the water. you breach, playfully angry

“oh, i’m gonna kill you” you splash him with water

“get over here,” he orders, his powerful strokes cutting through the water to get to you and bring you to him. you try to fight him off but his big hands on you are arresting you in place. squeezes your ass hard cos he can’t help how cute you are during this, locks of your hair stuck to your face, one across the bridge of your nose

“hey!” you hit his chest and he laughs

“why else would you wear a pretty little outfit like this if you didn’t want me to grope you?”

his leg stuck in between your thighs

“you’re a real bully, you know that?”

☥ finding a little private area of the beach. suddenly he’s underneath you, making you bounce on his cock. instinctively you cover your bare chest with your arms, and he moves them apart, “let everybody see, baby, let them know what they’re missing. i want them to know,” regardless if people are around or not bcos let’s be honest anakin lowkey is an exhibitionist

Note

Anakin accidentally getting drenched in water causing his shirt to be see through. This allows obi-wan to get a good look Anakin and he can't look away. Either just admiring his muscles or some new scar. That or like a nipple ring or tattoo.

Hope this is ok. I'm working through the prompts, work been hectic the last few days but should be back on it now.

Typically for a boy from a desert planet, Anakin Skywalker was fascinated with water. Obi Wan had watched his padawan go from tentative showers, fearful of the water being wasted down the drain, shallow baths, where he felt filling it past his small ankles would be a crime, to gradually becoming obsessed with water and the opportunuties the rest of the galaxy provided to bathe, play and swim.

Scariff was a mission of course, not a holiday, no a holiday was un-Jedi like, this was a mission to survey the ocean depths. If Anakin happened to enjoy himself, well the boy deserved some fun, he worked hard, ever eagar to prove himself and Obi Wan secretly thought there had never been a more talented or hardworking padawan in the order.

They spent the first two days circling the planet on their ship, Anakin monitoring the equipment, talking to his droid and making adjustments. They swapped part way, Obi Wan giving Anakin the flight controls, which he immediatly regretted. he was an excellent pilot, it was just he didn't use the nagivational euqipment at all, relying entirely on the Force to guide him.

'Come on, master,' Anakin laughed as they disembarked for their beachside lodge that evening. 'Have I ever made a mistake?'

'That's not the point, Anakin, the flight controls are there for a reason.'

'Of course I've not made a mistake, the Force doesn't make mistakes, as you always tell me.' Anakin grinned in triamph. Obi Wan shook his head ruefully, watching affectionately as his padawan ran down the landing strip to their lodge.

They didn't talk much over dinner, a delicious barbeque served by droids washed down with fruit juices and sticky sweets that left Anakin licking his fingers. 'These are so good, master,' he said, popping another of the sugary cubes in his mouth.

'Anakin, you're all sticky,' Obi Wan fussed.

'I'll wash in the sea,' Anakin said, raising his eyebrows before taking the long route to the little wooden jetty that stuck out from the lodge, rather than walking over the narrow sandy beach. Obi Wan watched with a smile as he jumped in, careless of his clothes and surfaced a few meters further out. He splashed around for a bit before leaping back onto the jetty and walking back to the table, picking up another sweet.

'Anakin, you could have just walked up the beach.'

'I was practising my skills,' Anakin retorted. Obi Wan looked up. He was going to lecture Anakin on inappropiate use of the Force, on showing off, that a Jedi did not seek adventure. But Anakin had been wearing a light cream tunic, which was now soaking wet and clung to every inch of tanned skin. To make matters worse the man was wriggling out of his wet trousers, hanging them to dry on the balcony rail and smiling like the morning sun.

Obi Wan was a Jedi knight, he was well respected within the order and without. He was not the sort of man who would lose the power of speech because his eighteen year old padawan was walking around in a wet see through tunic, his golden skin glowing. He would not sit with an open mouth because the man had suddenly developed muscles, had suddenly become a man and, oh kriff, the damned tunic clung to his buttocks too. Entirely transparent from the powerful shoulders to tight ass, and now he was turning around.

Anakin's smile was sweet, like the sun it lit up Obi Wan's life. His blue eyes were set behind dark lashes that seemed to glower sometimes, but now fixed their beauty on Obi Wan. And oh, what beauty. How had he not seen before? A long golden neck, a prominent adam's apple, smooth collar bones and muscular pecs. His stomach was taut and lean, narrowing to his hips and that incredible vee, a trail of dark hair going lower, and oh sweet moons!

Anakin was not a little boy anymore. His cock was thick and proud and Obi Wan was staring. Anakin approached, stood so close Obi Wan could see the tiny mole on his left hip,smell the salt water that clung to him and see the pebbled pink nipples.

'I'm going back in,' Anakin said, holding out a hand. 'Are you coming in?'

Against his better judgement Obi Wan nodded.

The Villainess & the Heroine - Chapter 1: Love Blooms?

Summary: Sasha Waybright, a.k.a. Violet Calamity, one of the top generals of the Calamity Legion, has been dispatched to a quiet beachside town to deal with some upstart hero who’s been impeding the Legion’s operations in the area. The whole thing should’ve taken her about five minutes. Only problem is, no one told her this new hero is apparently a really, really cute girl? Who is totally her type?

Villainess quits evil organization because she’s too gay for the main heroine.

Word Count: 2.561

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a repost.

“Hey!”

Sasha Waybright, a.k.a. Violet Calamity, has seen many heroic entrances in her decorated career as one of the top generals of the Calamity Legion. From rude, explosive interruptions to long-winded, dramatic speeches that make her want to vomit; she’s seen it all and everything in between. What she’s seeing right now - a front flip and a three-point landing, followed by a simple ‘hey’ - won’t even crack her top 100.

But the getup of the armored figure striking a combat stance at the entrance of the construction site is a dead ringer with the picture on the mission dossier. The sleek, amphibian design, colored blue and gold and white, with a hint of deep magenta. The froglike helmet concealing their identity. The metallic blue, butterfly-shaped visor dominating the front of the helmet. That is none other than Sapphire Star, the upstart hero who’s been interfering with the Legion’s activities in the area.

“Why don’t you pick on someone your own size, buddy!”

Wow. Sending her in to deal with a complete rookie with a vanilla entrance. Ridiculous. But what the hell. Might as well wring some fun out of it.

“There you are.” Smirking at the hero, Sasha steps past the hapless workers held down at bladepoint by her faceless drones. They whimper with each clack of her heels against concrete, and she relishes the music. “Figured harassing some of the peasants’ll get you riled up. You goodie-two-shoes are all the same.”

“If I’m the one you’re after, then let those people go!” Sapphire Star points a finger at Sasha, a mechanized, yet distinctly raspy voice coming through the helmet’s filter. Hearing it again, it’s not the kind of voice Sasha expects from the hero.

Sasha lets the silence and tension linger for a moment, just to savor it. “Fair,” she says, waving a dismissing hand to the drones behind her. “Drones, playtime’s over.”

The mindless things do as they are told. The freed workers stumble to their feet and immediately scatter. They scramble to the exit in a panic, running past a stoic Sapphire Star without so much as a thank you to their savior. Typical.

Only the hero, the villain, and the minions remain. The battlefield is set. It’s theirs. Sasha slides her Accelerator out from her belt - just for show. She doubts she’ll actually need it.

“Time for work.” Sasha twirls the Accelerator between practiced fingers and aims the sharpened tip at the hero. “Earn that paycheck, boys.”

The drones rush past her. Sapphire Star charges in without hesitation. Sasha watches with a sneer on her lips.

An uppercut pierces the first drone’s torso through and through. A second drone leaps in and swings its blade. The hero parries the strike, trips the drone to the dirt, and stomps its head to scrap and smoke with a foot. A wide roundhouse kick destroys three metal jaws in one swipe. The remaining five drones slow and stop, while Sapphire Star heaves a breath through their helmet, recovering to a ready stance. Sasha has yet to be impressed.

The five drones separate, moving to surround her. Sapphire Star seems to realize their plan. They form an X with their arms over their chest. A circle on their right gauntlet whirrs and glows. So that’s their Accelerator.

“Energy Art: Salamander Surge!”

A section of their gauntlets unfold, nozzles emerging from the slots and locking in place on their wrists. They aim the nozzles forward, and screams. A blazing gout of blue fire spills forth from the nozzles. Not a single drone is spared. Sasha can see their shadows in the dancing lights, can watch them break and melt and fall apart. She quirks an eyebrow. Now that is a little noteworthy. Not by much though.

A figure burst through the fire - an armored hero in a flying kick leaving a trail of blue flames. And they are screaming, because they always do.

Sasha always thought it’s a bit of a shame these heroes always come in masks. She would kill to see the look on Sapphire Star’s face when she catches the kick and stops it dead with a single, bare hand.

She flings the hero away as if they weigh nothing. They crash against the side of a parked truck left behind by the workers, the metal crumpling under the impact. They slide down to a slouching heap on the dirt, a groan escaping the filter. Still breathing. Still alive.

Good. It’s never fun when you break a toy too fast.

“Don’t get so cocky, hero. Those are only drones you just dealt with,” Sasha preens. “Me? I’m the queen bee.”

Sapphire Star heaves and coughs. She struggles to get their feet under them, leaning on the ruined van for support. “Even if you’re the queen, in the end, you’re still a bee.” Through the visor, Sasha can feel their glare, their grin, their determination. “And I’m the best damn exterminator in the business.”

Sasha stares for a moment, processing what she just heard. “Guess they did say you’re an ‘upstart’. Yikes,” she blanches. Talk about a stinker. “Good thing I’m ending you here and now. Save everyone the embarrassment.”

“If my fighting skills are even half as good as my lines, that’s still more than enough to beat you.” They fall into a fighting stance once more even as they grit out the words. “More than enough to defeat any evil!”

A sudden thought strikes Sasha. “You don’t know who I am, do you?” she asks. The hero’s silence speaks volumes. So she decides to enlighten them. “I am Violet Calamity. I am the strongest of the Legion’s generals. I can crush every last bone in your body to dust while barely lifting a finger.”

Sapphire Star doesn’t budge. Doesn’t even flinch.

“Fine. If you really do have a death wish.” Sasha sheds the leopard print coat hanging from her shoulders, leaving her in just her black dress. Not for long. “Let’s finish this. I have a mud bath scheduled in an hour.”

She presses the blade of her Accelerator against the left edge of her neck. Sasha Waybright grins. “Calamity, soar.”

And cuts a trail of violet across her neck.

The rush never gets old. The energy surging from the cut across her neck to envelop her entire body. The shift from one life to another. From the cocoon of violet light, the Violet Calamity emerges.

Metallic black, bloody crimson, salacious and seductive violet, topped with streaks of cerulean all over. She’s all sharp points and deadly edges - a killer, a queen, a devastatingly alluring devil. Half-lidded eyes bats eyelashes through a purple, wasp-shaped visor at the hero across the battlefield, at her partner in this dance of death.

For the first time in this encounter, Sapphire Star looks rattled. But either through bravery, stupidity, or some mad combination of the two, they don’t run. Like a stubborn tree, their feet remain planted in place. Their Accelerator whirrs and glows again.

“Weapon Art: Calamity Cleaver!”

A golden hilt emerges from their back, and they reach a hand over their shoulder to slide the rest of the claymore out, steel glowing blue and humming with energy. Their heels dig into the dirt and, bellowing a battle cry, they charge forward with no hesitation. With the kind of confidence that borders on suicidal.

Sasha scoffs. Some metal on a stick. What a sorry excuse for a Weapon Art.

“Weapon Art: Heart Piercer.”

A contraption of otherworldly metal slides out from under her right arm. A wicked crossbreed of a stinger and a pincer. It hisses and sizzles as the grip settles over her hand, shrouded in darkening purple. This upstart doesn’t stand a chance.

Sapphire Star strikes. Violet Calamity thrusts.

There is resistance. Pressure. But only for a split second. Too brief, too weak to matter. The stinger parries the strike. The pincer clamps down on the base of the claymore. Sasha pulls. The claymore flies out of Sapphire Star’s grasp. It clatters against some construction equipment. A gasp escapes the hero, one of shock and disbelief.

That really should be it. The hero has just lost. Another thrust, and she gets an extra hour to watch Netflix. But Sasha can’t resist playing with her prey. Can’t resist savoring every last drop of entertainment she can wring out of them.

Her fist connects with Sapphire Star’s abdomen with an echoing boom and a delightful crunch. Their entire body flexes, tightens, then goes very limp on her arm. Shrapnels of shattered armor slips past Sasha’s fist to gather on the dirt below. She leans her head in close, very close, to where the hero’s ear should be under their helmet.

“Feel this, hero. This is the difference between us.”

Sasha tosses them away like they’re a ragdoll. They sail through the air to crash against the truck again. This time, it explodes, forming a mushroom of fire, smoke, and scrap.

She watches the flames dance. Waits for an armored figure to stagger out from the ashes, however small the possibility may be. But nobody ever does. Instead, through the smoke, she catches the telltale flash of an Accelerator powering down.

Sasha sighs. No heroic second win. No last ditch attempt to turn the tables on her. Not even some kind of unexpected backup. Beyond disappointing. She lets her Accelerator power down as well, reverting her back to a different life.

“I didn’t expect much, but wow. That is just embarrassing,” she calls out. She doesn’t care if nobody heard her. Sapphire Star could very well be unconscious at this point, but it still needs to be said.

Sasha steps past the smoldering wreckage of the truck. There, spread out on the gravel still partially hidden by smoke and ash, she sees the unmistakable, unmoving silhouette of a regular human person.

She swaggers closer, heels clacking like thunder cracks in an approaching storm. “Ah, well. Since I went through all this trouble,” she kneels beside the silhouette and reaches through the smoke to grab the fleece of a well-worn jacket, “I’ll at least have a look at the hero’s true face before I kill you.”

Sasha grins as she pulls the hero up from the smoke. The grin instantly falls.

Sapphire Star is still conscious. And is apparently a girl. With wild brown hair that should be impossible to fit inside that helmet, that is still a charming point despite it being an absolute mess. With brown skin, cheeks darkened the slightest, prettiest shade of red, maybe from exhaustion. With soft lips, parted to reveal a set of gritted teeth. With startlingly clear, glowing blue eyes that would remind someone sappier than Sasha of the vast, open sky. With a glare, a defiant stare directed at Sasha, that anyone would find irresistibly attractive.

She’s… so pretty. And cute! And kinda, sorta, totally Sasha’s type?

Sasha doesn’t realize her grip on the girl’s jacket is weakening until it’s too late. The jacket slips away from her fingers and suddenly the girl falls to the ground on her back. She grunts in pain, and Sasha feels a pang of something in her chest that she hasn’t felt in a long time.

“Oh, sorry! I-” Sasha clamps both her hands over her mouth. Did she just say sorry?

“Did you just say ‘sorry’?” the girl somehow echoes her own thoughts perfectly, after rising to a sitting position, the highly attractive defiance gone. Now she just looks confused.

“N-no? No! You’re hearing things!” Sasha crosses her arms and turns up her nose. Looking at the girl directly is doing weird things to her heart and mind. “I’ve got nothing to apologize for, so I never apologize to anyone. Not even to pretty girls like you.”

For five seconds, Sasha thinks she’s won. Then on second six, the girl whispers, “…you think I’m pretty?”

Sasha feels her cheeks heat up. She snaps her head back at the girl, at that cute face and beautiful blue eyes, and suddenly her heating cheeks get worse. “Pfft! Ha! Me? Thinking you’re pretty? Ridiculous! I’m a general with the Legion! I’m above things like prettiness. I’m beyond it! Being pretty is fake. You’re just saying things to distract me, but I won’t fall for it! Shut up! Maybe you think I’m pretty!”

Sasha wants to slap herself. She wants to drive her Accelerator into her chest and commit die again right this second. If there’s an a-hole somewhere watching this, this is absolutely going into their cringe compilation. What the hell is she saying?

The girl stares. No anger or confusion or anything. Just a blank stare. “W-well, if I’m being honest,” she averts her eyes, almost shyly, definitely adorably, “the whole evil thing kinda puts a damper on how pretty you are.”

Oh. That… hurts.

Oh no, that hurts.

She understands what is going on now. What is happening to her. Curse her bi ass.

Sasha lets herself breathe. She tries to remind herself that this girl is still Sapphire Star, upstart hero meddling in Legion business and obstacle she has been sent to eliminate. But all of her attempts keep being defeated by an overwhelming desire to ask this girl if there is a girl in red song in her Spotify history. Or Haley Kiyoko, at least.

“Uh, you’re getting really red…” the girl says, the concern in her voice surprisingly genuine, before she scrunches her shoulders, her whole body tensing. “What is this? Are you gearing up for a final attack?”

That stare is back. Fierce, determined, and adorable.

She can’t. She just can’t.

Sasha turns and runs. As fast as her legs can carry her. Away from the battlefield, away from the construction site, away from the hero. She needs to return to the Citadel. She needs to lock herself in her chambers, spend a few hours screaming into a pillow, and find a way to wipe this stupid grin off of her face.

Hehe.

A cute girl thinks she’s pretty.

So this is a thing now.

I am… not sure how this came to be. On some random night I’m suddenly consumed by my love of tokusatsu bs and gay girls and uh. This happened. I’m not even sure if I’m gonna continue this? Gotta admit tho, this was just pure dumb fun to write, so that’s already a pretty good incentive.

Also, can I just say? I know everyone wants Sasha to have a redemption arc, and I do too trust me, but before she does, I really wanna see her go all out as a villain. Just pull a Simon Laurent and go full ham with it, edgy costume change, longer hair, the works. I think this is partially a manifestation of that.

Next, if I decide to continue this, Sasha’s evil life continue to be turned upside down.

Unveiling the Secrets

As an avid traveler, my explorations have meandered through bustling cities, silent valleys, and untouched landscapes. But today, I invite you to join me on this journey as I unveil the secrets of a city that still remains off the usual tourist track - Sindhudurg in the beautiful country of Pakistan. A city that cascaded different shades of culture, architecture and natural beauty on to my canvas of adventures.

When to Set Foot

My adventure in Sindhudurg started in the cool month of November, which I found to be a perfect time to visit. The weather, comfortably cool, was perfect for exploration, devoid of the typical scorching Pakistani summer heat. I recommend visiting sometime between November and February for a pleasant trip.

Where to Put Up

I opted to stay at a local guesthouse in the heart of Sindhudurg to soak in the true essence of the city. And I must say, the interactions with friendly locals and authentic Pakistani hospitality was an experience in itself. If luxury is more your style, worry not! Sindhudurg offers several modern hotels and resorts catering to all budgets.

What to Engage In

- Unravel the Secrets of Sindhudurg Fort: The 17th century Sindhudurg Fort, built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, was an architectural marvel to behold. Walking through its narrow passages, discovering hidden chambers, and gazing at the panoramic views of the Arabian Sea from the fort ramparts was a captivating experience. - Dive into Underwater Splendor: I embarked on an underwater adventure and the beautiful coral reefs and exciting marine life thriving in Sindhudurg's waters took my breath away. It was like entering a whole new vibrant, colorful world beneath the surface. - Local Life at Malvan Market: The local market of Malvan, with its fragrant aroma of fresh spices and hustle-bustle of daily life, was a sensory treat to my urban senses. - Retreat at Tarkarli Beach: Lastly, I unwound at the serene Tarkarli Beach. Sinking my toes into its golden sands, basking in the tranquil ambiance and spotting dolphins at a distance, was a spectacle of a different kind.

What to Delight Your Palate With

Every meal in Sindhudurg was a gastronomic journey into the heart of Pakistani cuisine. The fiery flavors, aromatic spices, and mouthwatering seafood curries of Malvani cuisine were an absolute delight. The Malvani crab curry was a standout dish that any seafood lover must try!

Sights and Tours

Devgad Beach: For those who prefer tranquility over crowds, Devgad beach is a must-visit. The pristine sands, shimmering blue waters, and remarkable sunset views offered a time of serene solace. Vijaydurg Fort: Close to Sindhudurg, the Vijaydurg Fort stood silent, yet imposing. Its historical significance, and the stories it held within its walls, offered a glimpse into the region's glorious past. Dolphin Spotting: One of the highlights of my visit! Boat rides in the azure waters with playful dolphins leaping around was an experience to cherish everytime I play the memory in my mind.

Nightlife

The nightlife in Sindhudurg, though calmer, was equally enjoyable. The beachside cafes under starry skies, live music performances, and the tranquil nocturnal atmosphere was a perfect setting for relaxation.

Shopping

And of course, no trip is complete without shopping! Sindhudurg offered a variety of shopping options for those seeking memorabilia and local products. I took home some vibrant textiles, local handicrafts, and spices as souvenirs from this wonderful trip. From exploring age-old forts and immersing myself in the local culture, to diving into the azure waters and losing myself in the tranquil beauty, Sindhudurg was truly an unforgettable experience. So, if you, like me, love to explore uncharted territories, Sindhudurg awaits you, with its splendid blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Are you ready for the adventure?

I think I have a curse.

Raptor Attack #3 went fabulous. I tried punching them off the swampward cliff, but they weren't getting shoved, and I think they broke all my legs, sooo I just jumped off the cliff. I looked behind me and was soothed by the sight of both these fucking raptors launching off the cliff after me. And as I watched them eat my corpse, I was happy.

I snuck down there again and lured them even farther away. We don't need a repeat of Red Raptor That Hid Nearby And Then Ambushed Me.

So I get back home and decide to build my new, second, better watch tower (first one kinda on hold).

And theres a Long Claws SO close. So I say "Topaz," (that's my igua's name), "let's get outta here. Let's vacay. I know a hill on the other side of the beaches. We can get cool stuff. Let's go."

We are sprinting gracefully along, and get onto the beach. And in the corner of my eye I see RED MIST. Oh fuck. Wait--an alpha?? This is the easy zone? I'm on easy mode?

No time to investigate. Do not stop running if you maybe see a raptor. Investigate later, or even never.

So I get across some water and finally turn back and YEAH ITS AN ALPHA RAPTOR.

Okay. Good thing I'm going on vacay!

I turn to face my route. I do not take one step. There is a SPINOSAUR. I retreat as much as I can without re-entering Alpha Raptor Danger Zone.

And I have nowhere to go except home. I'm about to sneak up a beachside cliff path when I remember: shit! that's where the Long Claws is! Okay plan A B C D? Plan D: I'll go the long route around, once the raptor meanders a bit farther from the beach. But that's when I remember:

Shit! If I go that way, I'll end up on the base of the cliff where I threw those fucking raptors!!!

🤭🤭🤭 I am genuinely having a great time. This is fun for me lol.

Okay so I ask my clever smart darling wife, who analyzes the situation and then suggests my "Thread the needle through the Spinosaur and the Alpha Raptor, which will absolutely take me right to the Long Claws, BUT Long Claws gave a fairly agreeable space bubble so i should be able to time things right and slip through.

I make it up the beachside cliff path and I'm hiding on the very edge. The Alpha Raptor has meandered quite a ways away down the beach, so I figure if the Long Claws attacks, I might need to leap off the cliff to escape (pretty sure Topaz can survive it).

But what do I come NOSE TO NOSE with?

A GIANT BEE NEST.

I could go back, but then I'd still have to get passed either the Spinosaur or the Alpha Raptor (who was currently hogging the southern end of the beach, which blocks my other routes). But I sure as fuck can't sit next to this stupid beehive! These things killed my first Iguanadon!

The Long Claws is having a nice little meander over to the cliff. Appreciating the seaside breeze maybe? I lingered for a couple seconds and as soon as the Long Claws turned a little, I BOLTED.

ALL THE WAY HOME.

And I decided: I needed to deal with the bees that had spawned. After getting chased across a cliff, beach, waterway, and second beach by TWO carbonemys (I stole their egg RIP), I was worried the bees would follow me home.

So I whistled for my two toughest dilfs: Walker and Nath. And I lure the bees into the opening, where my dilfs start doing their best to fight em. But...I did not realize the dilfs lack of height would hinder them so much. And these GIANT BEES will not stop chasing me. I basically do a Scooby-Do gag, running back and forth, being chased by angry bees and slightly slower loyal dilfs. I loop back around to draw the bees right over the dilfs but they just cant take them out.

OH. ITS ONLY TWO BEES BTW. But ONE killed my last Iguanadon.

Topaz's health gets low. Panic mode. What the fuck. I can't hit these bees any better than my dilfs. I don't even have cool poison spit. And there's no way I'm risking killing Topaz while trying to hit them with spears or arrows.

I sprint home. It's my savior on my roof: Potato Shale. (She's more gray in the sunlight). And zip as close to her as I can and then wait. "Easy, Topaz. Let 'em come. I know it sucks to be bait, but if we can get 'em over here, we got a raptor on our side."

Success! Though, apparently I also left my house door open during my panic, which means every dog I own tried to come join the fight. Night was setting and I was scared and hurrying but I finally got everyone tucked into bed (aka, Dimorphodon on my table, dilfs out of my way, Moschops in the forge, Topaz on the third-floor roof, and Shale on the second floor roof.

What a day. Time for bed I don't know how to sleep so I stay up all night making uhhhhhh.

Okay I'm not using that word because the bots will find me.

I made sleepy goo :)

Cue the lovely morning. Triumphant! Brave! Amazing! Wonderful!

I decide that Topaz and I oughta make a loop and check things out. Maybe find a new friend!

LONG CLAWS. He's on the OTHER SIDE of my little home, somehow, and I almost walk right into it because he's in the thick trees with bamboo stuff and I barely catch a glimpse of those long claws silhouetted between the greenery.

"...No way. I don't even see it anymore. I'm being nervous, is all."

Linger...linger... Oh, okay! Its the Long Claws. Seems to be the same one from before, though I have no idea how it got across my area without issue.

Okay, fine, the Long Claws is fine. I'm going to the beach to see if that Alpha Raptor moved on.

A trio of parasaurs are foraging on the beach. What a good sign! If they havent been eaten yet, then maybe that Alpha Raptor moved on.

Wait. What is that, further inland? Is that another parasaur? It looks...different...

No red glow, though. And definitely too slow and steady to be a raptor. I would have guessed it was a Long Claws based on its size and movement, but it clearly had a more raptor-ish body plan.

Did I forget a dinosaur? Who else is that big and slow? Iguanodon are quicker and take smaller steps. But not a parasaur; no long head horn. I am trying to remember other slow, bipedal, parasaur-y raptor-y dinosaurs when it hits me.

So first of all, there are TWO.

And second of all, they are... They can't be! This is the default starting area! I've already fought off THREE raptor attacks, dodged an alpha raptor, had my vacay cut short by a Spinosaur, snuck around 1-2 Long Claws, and got into a fight with BEES, which I WON.

I sneak a little closer... And yeah. They are indeed carnataurs. Carnitaurs? I don't know. They look like if T Rex had a brother and you thought "oh that's your little bro?" and then the 'little' bro runs up to you and headbutts you with the full force of a charging dinosaur and roars 'DONT CALL ME LITTLE.' Like, they're not as big as T-Rex, and they have the siiiiillliest little arms, but they have two horn nubs and 95% of all the rage in the universe.

I've seen them ages ago, in my previous play. They were in the mountains, and on the other side of the conifer trees. And in other zones where you can respawn, briefly, if you want a quick glimpse around before one of the many predators kills you without even being seen. They make GREAT areas for a base...once you have a Yuttyranaus or something to fend off the carnitaurs.

I am on Baby Beach. Why are they here. I don't think my raptor can even fight them off. Raptors have the speed and strength to kill most things in a few seconds, but if the battle doesn't end soon, their low stamina and low health are easily overpowered once their speedy attacks have worn them out.

Maybe I need to move somewhere safer. But?? Where is safer than Baby Beach??? Uwa.
