Text
Tumblr media
@homuraakumaakemi Ohhh, I see! Those are really interesting items…
Yay, Kuroe gets the attention she deserves!! She’s so strong…now I don’t like what happened to her in the anime. (Why’d they kill her off like that…?)
Thank you again for explaining this game to me!!

Diane Duane really is the where's waldo of authors. Like oh, I just finished, Star Trek (TOS), those Star Trek books look pretty cool. Huh that cover with Spock on it looks neat. Proceed to read one of my favorite novels in the entire world. Ok ok it's by Diane Duane. Gotta remember that. Starting TNG like yo it's Diane Duane again! She wrote this episode :). Oh well, I guess no more Diane Duane Star Trek as I have found all of them for my collection. Damn, well my friend really likes Spiderman/Venom. Her birthday's soon. Guess I should get her comic books? And with steel chair it's Diane Duane again! And oh wait, what other comics did she write? She wrote a comic book for Star Trek! Better read that! An X-men novel!! Hmmm, y'know I've been reading a lot of sci fi and comic books recently. I would really like to get back to my roots and read some fantasy, preferably with some wizards. Diane Duane once again snipes me from the google recommend books page. Doing some research on Barbie to get ready for the Barbie Movie. Barbie: FairyTopia is cowritten by Diane Duane and Elise Allen. A bomb is dropped on my house. Watching a video essay on Batman because it's 2AM and youtube thinks I might like that. I've never watched Batman the animated series, but I guess I'll give it a try. Diane Duane strikes once again. Talking with my friends about their favorite authors and where they live during a vacation in Ireland. Huh I actually don't know where Diane Duane lives. Look it up and get punched into next week. Get tumblr. Ha that was a funny! Waldo once again has been sighted.
TL;DR: Diane Duane has got range and I haven't looked up all the things she's done and keep getting pleasantly surprised.

me again. sorry if i’m being overwhelming or something i am just an autism creature who does not know much of social interaction boundaries .
speaking of autism, could i have a mini hc of the m6 dealing with/reacting to mc having a meltdown? if it’s too difficult i understand, and if you need help i can provide information ~
-🪩
The Arcana Mini-HCs: M6 when autistic!MC has a meltdown
Hiya! I've done a little quick research and based off of that and my own experience speaking with friends/family members on that spectrum, I'm going to write specifically about meltdowns as a result of being overstimulated/triggered by a bad stimulus. I understand that every experience is different, so please, if I got anything wrong, let me know so I can continue to educate myself and correct the mistake! :)
Julian: you know that moment when the wrong formula gets you the right answer? well, he thought it was PTSD the first time he saw you meltdown and it somehow led him to do actually helpful things - e.g., getting you somewhere quiet, paying attention to what was triggering you and getting rid of it, giving you Good textures to hold
Asra: so much difficulty comprehending what was happening the first time, because as tuned in to you as they are, empathy is not their strong suit. he's come a long way since, and now he's quick to notice potential triggers/triggering situations and help navigate you around them. uses spells to help you block out/neutralize specific stimuli
Nadia: she feels so much more ashamed for her reaction now than she made you feel the first time you had a meltdown in front of her. Now she's a fierce advocate for your personal space, makes sure all the clothes she wears are sensory friendly, and will drop whatever she's doing to get you somewhere safe and private when you need it
Muriel: he gets it. feeling so uncomfortable and out of control that the only instinctive response left is falling to pieces? yep. not only did he give Morga the stinkeye until she backed off, he helped you get away from the trigger that sent you over the edge, offered his cloak for physical pressure/good textures, and kept you from getting hurt
Portia: her approach to understanding things about you that don't immediately make sense to her is just "hmmm, Magician Thing." So you get overwhelmed with too many Wrong sensations? That makes sense, being a magician must mean constant exposure to new things. She'll get you space to work it out and comfort you after
Lucio: insanely understanding and here's why: he went from three years of total sensory deprivation to having a fully functioning body in half a second. he relates so much to the feeling of "too much input, gotta explode because NO" that he will get more defensive of you than he needs to be. The dogs are quick to ground you as well

Supernatural (Dean Winchester x Female!Reader)
Tumblr media
The Woman in White
(A/N: I am only gonna do the first 5 seasons of this show. I think I'd go insane if I did all 15 seasons lol. But, I do hope you guys enjoy my new fan fiction series.)
Masterlist of all of my stories / Next Chapter
"Dad, please!"
"I'm sorry, sweetie. But unfortunately, cancer is a monster you can't beat."
"C'mon, there's gotta be something!"
"You heard the Doctor..."
"The hell with what the Doctor said! I-I-I...I just...I can't do this on my own!"
"(y/n), honey, you are more than capable of doing the hunting buisness on your own than anyone I've ever known. And you know our contacts if you need any help."
"D-Dad..."
"It's okay, honey. I believe in you. I love you, sweetie, and don't you forget it."
"I love you too, Daddy. And I'll do my best. Say hi to mom for me." 
"I will..."
I sit up in my hotel bed then placed my hands over my face. I take a few deep breathes as I try to fight back the tears. That memory keeps coming back into my dreams. My dad's last day on this Earth, which happened just last year.
I let out a long sigh then brought my arms down and placed them on my knees, which was pulled up to me. I run my hand through my hair as I replay the memories of my father over and over in my head. I don't really have many memories of my mother as she died when I was very young. Dad told me that a demon had killed my mother.
That's right, a demon. 
I found out at a young age that demons, ghosts, monsters, they all exist!
Dad told me that these groups of people called the hunters are the ones that take care of those monsters. He also told me that he was one of them and he was one of the best. But the moment he met my mother, he decided to retire and settle down and then they had me.
But the peace didn't last long as a demon killed my mom by pinning her up to the ceiling and setting her on fire. My dad tried to save her as quickly as he could but the demon left. So then on, he decided to get out of retirement then started to train me once I was old enough.
I sighed once again when I heard something shift next to me, I look over and see a naked man sleeping next to me. I stare at him for a moment, kinda confused, but then I remembered that I went to a bar and started drinking, celebrating a successful hunt. 
Then this guy started chatting me up and we talked and drank until I took him back to this hotel and we ended up sleeping together. From what I can remember, he wasn't bad but...I've had better to be honest.
He stirred a bit in bed but doesn't wake up. I smirk a bit before I get out of bed and pick up my discarded clothes on the floor next to the bed.
After getting dressed, I grab my clothes bag and head out of the hotel room. I walk towards my dad's motorcycle, climb on it then turn it on and drive off.
*****
I, eventually, stopped at a diner and began to eat breakfast while also looking through the internet on my laptop. I skimmed through some articles when one catches my eye, it was an article about a missing person in Jericho, California. This young boy, Troy, disappeared on a bridge the night before and, as I continue my research, it turns out there's been other missing men that disappear around that bridge in the span of twenty years.
"Hmmm, interesting." I muttered as I sip my drink. I shut my laptop then finish my breakfast. I go and pay for it then get on my bike and head for Jericho.
Once I arrived, I get off of the bike and look down at my outfit, which was a white button up shirt, black pants and a black blazer. When you impersonate a person of the law, you've got to look the part. I grab the badge and put it in my pocket as I make my way to the bridge while I see some officers looking around the bridge.
"You guys find anything?" An officer shouts as he leans over the railings, looking down. "No! Nothing!" A voice shouts back at him as I walk up to the officer. "Hello Deputy." I greet as I walk up to him. "Hello, Miss...?" He started to ask as we go and shake hands. "Cooper. Agent Cooper." I said as I show him my badge.
"Deputy Jaffe. You look a bit young to be a marshal." He said and I chuckled. "Yeah, I hear that alot." I said and he nods at me. "Well, Agent Cooper, I appreciate you coming but...I think we've got this..." Jaffe started to say as he turns to the car in the middle of the bridge.
"Well, it's just I've done a little research and noticed that you had similar cases like this in the past twenty years. My boss found this very interesting and sent me here." I said and the deputy looks at me as another officer was looking through the car. "Yeah, we..." Jaffe started to say when the other officer comes up to him.
"No sign of struggle, no footprints, no fingerprints. Spotless. It's almost too clean." The second officer said when we heard someone arguing. "No citizens beyond this point." An officer said and I look over to see an officer arguing with two young men, one was really tall man with a little bit longer hair than the shorter man. 
I smiled as I recognized the two men as they argue with the officer. "Don't worry, sir. We're here for buisness." The shorter man said as he holds up his badge. "We've already got one of you here." The officer said and the men look a bit confused.
"They're with me!" I said as I walk up to them. The two young men look over at me and I could see a flash of recognition on their faces. "Bout time you two." I said to them. "Well...you know, traffic..." the shorter man said, smirking, and I shake my head but chuckle.
"They're federal marshals?" Jaffe asked me, shocked and confused. "Yes, they're rookies. I'm training them." I replied and he nods then he let's the boys through as the two of them look over at me, I smile and nod at them.
These two men were the Winchester brothers, Sam and Dean. I've known these two since I was a kid, their dad, John Winchester, and my dad were good friends and they took on some hunting jobs together. Before I was trained to be hunter, my dad would leave me with Sam and Dean while he and John went out to do some jobs.
Sam and I had similar interest in stuff and we got along pretty well. Dean, Sam's older brother, would always tease us and say we would end up together but Sam and I already had that discussion and both of us agreed that our feelings were just of that as a friend. Heck, Sam used to tell me that I was like a sister to him and I told him he was like a brother to me.
No, Sam wasn't the one I liked, in that way...it was actually Dean who I really liked. And, honestly, I still do like him. It didn't help that Dean was very good-looking but he had this persona of a bad boy. You know the ones, the ones you couldn't bring home to your parents. He also flirted with every girl he'd meet. I swear when our dads would go off on jobs and we had to go to a school together, Sam and I would take bets on which girl Dean would pick and how long it would take him to get with her.
The loser usually bought the winner either a soda or an ice cream with the little money we had. 
And if you're wondering who won the most, it was Sam. 
"I know my brother." is what Sam told me once when I asked how he was almost always winning our bets. 
But, yeah, Dean had all the girls fawning for him and I happened to be one of them. I was a bit shy and nervous when I first met him and he would kinda tease me. But then as I got older and more confident, I was able to tease him back which took him by surprise. 
And no, I never kissed or slept with Dean. I'm probably one of, if not the only, girl that has been a part of his life that hasn't slept with him. Shocking, I know but the moment just never came up. Sure, we flirted back and forth as we got older but I guess I wanted to play hard to get with him, just to make him go crazy and see if he was really into me.
But it's been a few years since I've seen them and the last I heard, Sam left the hunting buisness and went to college. I remember dad telling me that after he got a phone call from John. But I guess something must've happened for Sam to come back to the hunting buisness.
"You did have another one just like this, correct?" Dean asked Jaffe as we go back to the middle of the bridge, pulling me out of my memories. "Yeah, that's right. About a mile up the road. There've been others before that." Jaffe replied.
"So, this victim, you knew him?" Sam asked him and the officer nods. "Town like this, everybody knows everybody." Jaffe said while Dean circles the car, looking around.
"Any connection between the victims, besides that they're all men?" I asked Jaffe. "No. Not so far as we can tell." Jaffe replied.
"So what's the theory?" Sam asked after he looks at me and I give a slight nod to him.
"Honestly, we don't know. Serial murder? Kidnapping ring?" Jaffe said, shrugging, as Sam goes over to Dean.
"Well, that is exactly the kind of crack police work I'd expect out of you guys." Dean said. I whipped my head towards him and glared while Sam stomps on Dean's foot.
Dean holds in his scream of pain while I turn to Jaffe. "Thank you for your time." I said and I turn to the boys and jerk my heard towards our vehicles. They began to follow me. "Gentlemen." Sam said to the officers and we walked away.
As we put some distance between us and the officers, I turned to the boys. "Well, well, well, Sam and Dean Winchester. What are you boys doing here?" I asked them. Sam was about to answer when Dean goes and smacks him on the back of the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" Sam asked Dean. "Why'd you have to step on my foot?" Dean asked him, angrily. "Why do you have to talk to the police like that?" Sam asked Dean, just as angry, and I shake my head.
"Come on. They don't really know what's going on." Dean said as I scoff.
"Oh, how I missed you boys." I said as I look at them.
"Anyway, it's good to see you, (y/n)." Sam said. "Good to see you, Sam." I said as I give him a quick hug then I look over at Dean, who had a small smile on his lips. "It's nice to see you too, Dean." I said as I pull away from the hug. "It's been awhile." He said and I smirk. "Yes, it has." I said then I look between them.
"So...what are you guys doing here? Last I heard, you went to college, Sam." I said. "We'll explain later but thanks for covering for us back there." Sam said. "No problem, we've got to have each others back." I said then I see a couple of FBI agents coming up to us.
"Can I help you three?" One of the agents asked as Dean turns to them. "No, sir, we were just leaving." Dean said. As the agents walk past us, Dean nods at each of them. "Agent Mulder. Agent Scully." He said and we walk past them and head off.
"Still driving around in that Impala, I see." I said as we walk up to their beautiful black Impala. "Yep. You still driving that Harley Davidson?" Dean asked me and I smiled. "Of course, it is Dad's last gift to me." I said as I stand in front of Dean.
"It's a helluva bike." He said and I smirked.
"Yeah, it is. Just like your car." I said as I pat the hood of the Impala.
"So, you wanna follow us?" Dean asked me. I nodded and Dean gives me a smile. "I'll see you guys in a few." I said as I walk away and head to my bike. Once I get on and get my keys out, the boys' car comes up next to me. I start my bike then Dean drives ahead and I began to follow them.
*****
Dean...something big is starting to happen...I need to try and figure out what's going on. It may... Be very careful, Dean. We're all in danger.
I can never go home...
I furrow my brow at this once Dean stops the recording of John's last voicemail to him after we parked our vehicles in a parking lot in the city. But that EVP of this female voice was very creepy and weird. "Never go home." I muttered, confused.
Apparently, John was out on a hunt, following this story of these men disappearing on this bridge, and has been missing for a few weeks so Dean came to Sam for help. 
"Yeah, that's what we're trying to figure out." Sam said. "And you guys think this...ghost...woman... is involved with your dad's disappearance and these other disappearances?" I asked and the boys nod then I let out a sigh. "All right, so...what's next boys?" I asked them and they look at me like I'm crazy.
"What?" I said, confused. "You want to help us?" Dean asked me and I smirked. "Well, yeah. I was about to investigate this case on my own but...the more the merrier. That is...if you guys want me to help." I said.
"No, no, no, that's fine! Like you said, the more the merrier." Sam said as Dean shrugs but smirks.
"Okay then...so where should we start?" I asked.
*****
"I'll bet you that's her." Dean said as we see a young woman putting up missing posters on the wall. "Yeah." Sam and I said as we walk up to the girl. "You must be Amy." I said and she looks up at us.
"Yeah." She said, hesitantly, as she looks us over. "Yeah, Troy told us about you. We're his uncles and aunt. I'm Dean, this is Sammy and this is (y/n)." Dean introduced.
"He never mentioned you to me." Amy said and she begins to walk away but we walk with her. "Well, that's Troy, I guess. We're not around much, we're up in Modesto." I, quickly, explained.
"So, we're looking for him too, and we're kinda asking around." Sam said to her as another woman comes up to Amy and puts a hand on Amy's arm.
"Hey, are you okay?" She asked Amy.
"Yeah." Amy said to her.
"You mind if we ask you a couple questions?" I asked them and they look between us.
Later, the five of us were sitting in a booth of a diner, Dean, Sam and I sit opposite of Amy and her friend, Rachel. "I was on the phone with Troy. He was driving home. He said he would call me right back, and...he never did." Amy replied. "He didn't say anything strange, or out of the ordinary?" Sam asked her and she shakes her head. "No. Nothing I can remember." She replied. 
Then I noticed Amy's necklace, which was a pentagram inside of a circle. "I like your necklace." I said as I point at it. She looks down then holds the pendant and smiles. "Troy gave it to me. Mostly to scare my parents with all that devil stuff." She laughs. I chuckle a bit and I could feel the boys staring at me.
"Actually, it means just the opposite. A pentagram is protection against evil. Really powerful. I mean, if you believe in that kind of thing." I informed. "Thank you, Unsolved Mysteries." Dean remarks and I rolled my eyes at him as he takes his arm off the back of my seat and leans forward.
"Here's the deal, ladies. The way Troy disappeared, something's not right. So if you've heard anything..." Dean said then the girls look at each other, an uneasy look washed over their faces.
"What is it?" Dean asked them.
"Well, it's just..." Rachel stammers as she looks back at us. "I mean, with all these guys going missing, people talk." She said.
"What do they talk about?" Dean, Sam and I asked in unison, then the three of us look at each other before looking back to the girls. "It's kind of this local legend. This one girl? She got murdered out on Centennial, like decades ago." Rachel said as we watch her, attentively.
"Well, supposedly she's still out there. She hitchhikes, and whoever picks her up? Well, they disappear forever." Rachel said and the boys and I look at each other.
Later, we were in the library and Sam and I sit on either side of Dean as he opens up a web browser on the computer. He types Female Murder Hitchhiking into the search box then clicks go. The screen tells him there are (0) Result. Dean replaces Hitchhiking with Centennial Highway with the same response. 
"Let me try." Sam said as he reaches over to the computer but Dean smacks his hand. "I got it." Dean said to him but then Sam shoves Dean's chair out of the way and takes over. "Dude!" Dean exclaims as he hits Sam in the shoulder.
"Okay, children! That's enough." I said as Sam gets ready to type while Dean glares at his brother. "You're such a control freak." Dean grumbles at his brother.
"So angry spirits are born out of violent death, right?" Sam asked us. "Yeah." Dean and I said. "Well, maybe it's not murder." Sam said and he replaces Murder with Suicide and finds an article entitled Suicide on Centennial.
"Good job, Sam." I praised and patted his shoulder. Meanwhile, Dean glances at Sam as he opens the article, dated April 25, 1981.
"This was 1981. Constance Welch, twenty-four years old, jumps off Sylvania Bridge, drowns in the river." Sam said as he points at the screen where the picture of Constance is displayed.
"Does it say why she did it?" I asked.
"Yeah." Sam replied.
"What?" Dean and I asked as Sam continues.
"An hour before they found her, she calls 911. Apparently her two little kids are in the bathtub. She leaves them alone for a minute, and when she comes back, they aren't breathing. Both die." He said and my jaw drops a bit while Dean raises his eyebrows.
"Our babies were gone, and Constance just couldn't bear it,' said husband Joseph Welch." Sam reads as he scrolls down then a picture of the bridge appears.
"The bridge look familiar to you guys?" Dean asked and Sam and I nodded.
****
That night, we walk along the bridge, then stop to lean on the railing and look down at the river. "So this is where Constance took the swan dive." Dean said as we look down. "That's a nice way of putting it." I said to him.
"So you think Dad would have been here?" Sam asked Dean.
"Well, he's chasing the same story and we're chasing him." Dean said as I walk along the bridge and try to concentrate on the job as they argue with each other.
I just half listen to what they say as I feel like it's not my place being a part of this.
"Dean, I told you, I've gotta get back by Monday—" Sam said, slightly, annoyed as I pull out my flashlight and skim it across the lake below. "Monday. Right. The interview." Dean said.
"Yeah." Sam said and I look over at them.
"For college?" I asked Sam and he nods. "Congratulations, Sam!" I said. "Thanks, (y/n). At least someone appreciates my decision to go to college." Sam said as he glares at Dean
"You're really serious about this, aren't you? You think you're just going to become some lawyer? Marry your girl?" Dean asked him. "Maybe. Why not?" Sam said.
"Does Jessica know the truth about you? I mean, does she know about the things you've done?" Dean asked him as Sam steps closer.
"No, and she's not ever going to know." Sam said. "Well, that's healthy." Dean grumbles and Sam clenches his jaw.
"You can pretend all you want, Sammy. But sooner or later you're going to have to face up to who you really are." Dean said as he turns around and keeps walking, Sam and I follow him.
"And who's that?" Sam asked as I was on Dean's right side and Sam was on his left. "You're one of us." Dean said as he gestures between me and him and Sam hurries in front of us.
"No. I'm not like you guys. This is not going to be my life." Sam said then he turns to me. "No offense, (y/n)." He said and I shrug. "None taken. I don't blame you, Sam." I said and Dean looks over at me.
"Are you kidding me? You're on his side?" He asked me, clearly annoyed and angry. "I'm saying it's his life, Dean! He doesn't have to follow this if he doesn't want to." I said, exasperated. "Honestly, if I could, I would go to school as well..." I said and Dean rolls his eyes. 
"Oh, you gotta be freakin' kidding me." He grumbles as he turns away. "But unfortunately I'm way in too deep with this job and this life. There's still time for Sam..." I said until Dean turns to me. "He has a responsibility to—" He started to say but Sam talks over to him.
"To Dad? And his crusade? If it weren't for pictures I wouldn't even know what Mom looks like." Sam shouts and we look over at him. 
I frown at this as Sam continues, mainly cause I know how that feels. I don't remember what my mom looks like, but dad did have a picture of the three of us when I was a baby. "And what difference would it make? Even if we do find the thing that killed her, Mom's gone. And she isn't coming back." 
Dean grabs Sam by the collar and shoves him up against the railing of the bridge, which made me jump. "Dean!" I said, fearfully, as I walk up next to them while Dean glares at his younger brother.
"Don't talk about her like that." Dean threatened then he releases Sam and walks away. "You okay?" I asked Sam. "Yeah, I'm fine." Sam said when Dean calls out to us.
"Sam. (Y/n)."
We come to stand next to Dean and see Constance standing on the edge of the bridge. She looks over at us, then steps forward off the edge. We run to the railing and look over to see she had disappeared. "Where'd she go?" I asked. "I don't know." Sam said as Dean shrugs and shakes his head.
Behind us, the Impala's engine starts and its headlights come on. The three of us turn to look. "What the—" Dean said, shocked and angry. "Who's driving your car?" I asked him. Dean pulls the keys out of his pocket and jingles them. My eyes widen as the car jerks into motion, heading straight for us. We turn and run. "Go! Go!" Sam yells at us.
The car begins moving faster than we were; when it gets too close, we dive over the railing. Unfortunately, I didn't grab onto the edge quick enough and fell into the water below. Once I fell into the water, I blacked out for a moment as the water felt like it was replace with concrete.
As I started to come back to reality, I felt a pair of strong hands grab me then I felt my head hit the surface of the water. 
I cough then look next to me and see that Dean was the one that grabbed me and helped me out. "Thanks." I said, before I started to cough. "Don't mention it." He said.
"Dean? (Y/n)? Guys!" Sam's voice calls out and I look up and see that he had grabbed onto the ledge of the bridge and was looking down at us.
"What?" We shouted at him.
"Hey! Are you guys all right?" Sam asked us. Dean holds up one hand in an A-OK sign while I nodded and gave the thumbs up sign, which made me realize that my arm was covered in mud. Grrreeeaaattt...I thought, annoyed.
"I'm super." Dean calls out to him. "Just fantastic!" I said as Sam laughs, relieved, and scoots away from the edge.
****
After getting back on the bridge and looking over the Impala, Dean shuts the hood of his car and leans on it. "Your car all right?" Sam asked him. "Yeah, whatever she did to it, seems all right now. That Constance chick, what a bitch!" Dean exclaims and I chuckled as I stand next to him and lean against the spot next to him.
"Well, she doesn't want us digging around, that's for sure." I said and Dean gives a curt nod.
"So where's the job go from here, genius?" Sam asked Dean as he settles on the hood on Dean's other side.
Dean throws up his arms in frustration, then flicks mud off his hands while I shake my head and try to get it out of my hair.
Sam sniffs, then looks at us. "You guys smell like a toilet." He remarks as Dean and I look down at ourselves. I sighed, annoyed, then the boys head into their car while I go over to my bike and we take off.

🏴‍☠️ What is the daily life in the ship like? And what would happen if they ever met a certain Captain Tusktooth and his crew (fucking Marius)
🏴‍☠️Hmmm... I mean, it's basically a lot of travel days. There's keeping the ship running, and then everyone has their little side projects they like to work on when they aren't hands on deck. Plus whatever interpersonal stuff is going on at the time.
Chetney still carves toys and stuff. And if he runs his personal stash of woodblocks out, he'll start doing embellishment on the ship. Or embellish because he's bored and feels like doing detail work without having to carve a basic shape.
Besides Zeph'aeratam practice (gotta stay sharp!), Orym likes working on the Green Cabin. Just a little druidcraft to encourage the growth, and experiment with different plants and growing fruit. Maybe a little woodcarving practice sine he knows the basics.
Ashton does decorative patch embroidery in their free time. And elemental meditations that sometimes fall into dunamis meditations just to try to figure out his powers more, but he's not too good at meditating.
Prism is usually working on one research project or another, and having the time of her life getting to test anything that comes to mind (as long as it doesn't threaten to sink/damage the ship)
Deanna stich and bitches with whoever sits down with her
Laudna works on whatever crafting project has caught her fancy
Imogen likes to sit with Laudna and a good book or meditate. She's also not great at meditating
FCG bakes or tries to give therapy
FRIDA works on their drawings in their free time
Fearne is unpredictable chaos
🏴‍☠️Chaos, plain and simple.
You've put Fearne and Jester within orbit of each other. Ashton and Chet (and Prism?) are there to egg them on. Deanna is willing to participate while only offering a slight Voice of Reason. Depending on his mood, Orym is there with Deanna. FRIDA is generally up for anything. Laudna is probably adding macabre twists to Jester and Fearne's ideas. FCG is trying to talk the crazy down, probably unsuccessfully. And Imogen and Fjord are watching, resigned to their friend/girlfriend's brand of crazy.

hello! I'm playing this cool ask chain game that @eepybubble started. List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you to get to know your mutuals and followers.
Oooh~~ well then! Gonna do an IC and OOC rendition cuz why not. )) For Ghoulie: 1. My cat, Maeve <3 2. People sharing music suggestions 3. Making progress on art projects, digital or traditional 4. Getting new fountain pens and inks :') <333333 5. Sharing headcanons with people and hearing theirs!!! Please!!!
"Uh... weird, this for... oh, just doing some general research? I feel like I've gotta say 'faith, trust, and pixie dust' ha--no no no don't actually write--uh. Um. Right. Five things that make me happy..."
The young woman cocked her head, locks not restrained by a haphazard semi-bun at the back of her head flicking about her face. "Um... hmmm...." One by one, she ticked off her fingers.
"Can I say speeding? I just... love the feeling of going super fast. No, not gettin' into the philosophy or psychology of that right now.
"Blue raspberry flavored anything, that's definitely a big one!
"Oh!! When the stray mamas bring their kittens over to the garage!! Oh my god, best feeling! They're so freaking cute, and knowing the mamas trust us enough... uuuugh, no it's the best. Same with the mamas bringing their puppies, but we have a lot more stray cats around here.
"Going to see movies is fun, but when I get to see something someone has recommended it's even better, cuz like... the way their faces light up after to hear what you think, y'know? And now you've got this whole other thing to talk to them about!"
She shuffled a bit, foot to foot, as her wide smile faded slightly. A tinge of pink bloomed on her cheeks and her gaze flicked off to the side. "Um... and... five... I like getting random texts. Like when people send me songs, or memes, or just random shit that's on their mind, or shit they think I'd like. It just... yeah. It's just... a good feeling, y'know?"

What books, series, or movies influenced your writing most?
hmmm lets see
percy jackson is a recent influence. the "dead is" series is very formative for me, too. simon vs the homosapiens, series of unfortunate events, the secret series (SOUE style mystery that is based on the five senses with synesthesia... its so good. its middle school age but man. its so fucking good.), vladimir todd, CIRQUE DU FREAK. i like that cheeky tone in the face of insurmountable odds. ....i'm just now realizing how many weird books i read as a kid. OH and the enchanted forest series. gods, you wanna talk about subversive cheeky lit?? SUCH good book that does world building in literally the best way. gregor the overlander for that crushing inevitablity and the weight of a people's expectations for you to be a hero that suzanne collins does SO fucking well. sherrilyn kenyon's nick chronicles too. man they're so fucking funny and they have the perfect balance of "i'm going to make a joke" to "shits fucking serious mate" its perfect.
oh, and even tho i'm annoyed with this author currently for the way i think she's taking the story, but kresley cole's poison princess series (tarot cards personified, fated to fight each other to the death fro the amusement of gods that no longer exist....). (she's actually written two smut series that i fucking ADORE but that's besides the point)
tv series, it'd probably be Bones for the romance, sense8 for the interconnected queer love story, buffy for the girl against the world vibes, angel for the brooding hero. buffy & angel also for the dry wit i aspire to, the only thing whedon excelled at. oh, young royals too. man the tension between wille and simon is just. amazing. and the queer story its wrapped in is just. gods.
i dunno if i have any movies that have influenced my writing... i'll think about this one and get back to you alskjdflksjdf
i also have to give a special shout out to that quote from dan levy that's something like he says that schitt's creek isn't in a homophobic world because he's tired of those stories and if you want your world to change, you gotta start with the stories you're telling and that. that is such good advice and i'm using it in everything i possibly can. there are other obstacles, homophobia is a tired and boring on in fic. let's do something else
and i also gotta mention the fic writers that have influenced my writing, whether they're aware of it or not.
first off, there's @not-close-to-straight just because i fucking LOVE how cinematically she writes, tension and drama that is literally unparalled (more than words STILL gets me and its been two years. the world won't end if we rest and its recent big twist has me foaming at the mouth BECAUSE I SHOULDVE SEEN IT BUT I DIDNT AND GODS I WISH I COULD DO THAT), and the big sweeping love stories that are twined with the drama and make my heart ache, no matter how many times i've read that couple fall in love... when i was writing early danny/mateo and trying to figure out how to manage their first kiss and make it good, i talked to her and reread as many of her fics as i could to pick apart what makes a good first kiss. i want to be that good when i grow up.
also @dreamwraith is literally everything i try to be when i write. i use his fics ALL THE TIME as research. the way he captures intense emotions and small tender gestures is so perfect, i can literally only try and be half as good. there's a fic he wrote that has a wonderfully heartbreaking scene of grief, and i read it i have no idea how many times while trying to write my invisobang. and the romance he writes?? tooth rotting sweet and heart achingly soft. so perfect.
and special shoutout to @ashilrak because without her (and my other friends from the groupchat), i probably wouldn't publish ANYTHING i write. and also, the way she writes romance is just... gods, its good, all of the flavors of it. imagery on point, streamlined into nice neat packages in a way i could never manage. the dedication to her writing is literally next to none, and i can only dream to be like that.
okay this is probably mroe than you wanted to know but apparently i'm feeling sappy and rambly today so here ya go! 💖

@kyriosc sent: She just wants to sit on the couch curled up with her coffee. Maybe sitting close. Maybe leaning on his shoulder. And maybe she will. "Hey you, how's it going? I know this is going to sound weird and out of the blue but sometimes I think I should quit my job. Maybe go back on the road for a bit again? Did you know I wanted to be a Gym Leader when I was a kid? Yeah, a normal-type too. Sometimes I still think of it but it does sound silly now. Oh well."
Mei's arrival is heralded by the familiar scent of fresh coffee. Smelled before seen? Not that he was looking. Okay, maybe. Prior attention however had been focused on his notebook where he was roughly sketching out another outfit idea. Wylan doesn't consider himself an artist, but when commissioning others a little goes a long way. If Mei was paying attention before she made herself comfortable she'd catch some interesting looking spaulders with flower patterns.
Kalosian? Hm.
Tumblr media
"Hey yourself. Was just brainstorming some stuff. Can never have too many outfits to go along with Gigi, right?" Though his voice is neutral to dismissive on his time-killing, the posturing is anything but. Mei is well accomodated. Once the notebook is snapped closed he's a veritable pillow for his moody lover. Who had some things of her own on the mind.
"Hmmm.... mmmm?"
Conversations had to start somewhere.
But what does a man like him say in the face of that kind of ruminating? Talk of dreams and maybe he could say he's already made it to where he wants to. Which. Isn't. The best approach in the face of someone currently pondering a crisis of identity (he can smell that too, in addition to the coffee).
Tumblr media
"Excuse you? I'm the one dancing with Pokemon in front of crowds in borderline clown outfits. Nobody gets to talk silly except for me. Goof." Wylan jests with a poke to her cheek. One two. Poke poke. His arm finds a comfy spot behind her back. Were it not for the coffee he'd be manhandling her into his lap for even more annoying affection. She's spared!
"On the one hand, I think part of me always wanted to be a performer. On the other... it took a few steps to get there. Just because you didn't become what you wanted right off the bat, doesn't mean changing steps later is silly. Don't do that, Mei. C'mon."
Brows furrow.
"That said... I don't know the first thing about gym certification. But! What I do know is how to travel around. Here's an idea! Maybe you can take a work leave and go on a tour with me?" Wylan nudges her hips with his, waggling his brows invitingly. "You're a researcher who's been living nose to desk for years. You gotta have some leave saved up."
C'mon c'mon. Trip. Trip!!

I was writing out the next chapter and I realized that I forgot that this version of Mayu has MASSIVE issues regarding her parents and I just... forgot. Like I had her whole arc planned out as being pretty positive (and it will be fairly positive, she kinda wins constantly) but now I have ANOTHER problem to sprinkle in there. I just forgot about how I wrote her parents out of the picture and then moved on like that wouldn’t leave her with major issues! Hmmm... I’ve gotta rethink some things and do some more research oops

Five Nights at Sunny’s Ch 3: Counting To Ten
Tumblr media
The more Mina gets to know the Daycare duo, the more they seem to be showing hints of their vulnerabilities. In the meantime, she finds a way to get a little payback on the two bratty jesters for the previous nights. (Note: This is a much longer chapter than I intended it to be, but I didn’t feel right breaking it up. I probably could’ve left out the quick scene with the other animatronics, but I wanted them to be included somehow!) (Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three (You are here!) Chapter Four Chapter Five )
Tumblr media
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
          The last thing Mina remembered of her second night was being woken up by an attack to her sides and ribs. Moon handed the very sleepy brunette over to her boyfriend Inzi and her friend Nate, who had come to pick her up - and who were thoroughly unnerved by the terrifying nightcap-wearing robot giving them all a lecture about the importance of getting a full eight hours of sleep. She gladly crashed into bed with Inzi at home.           Later when they were awake, Mina talked with him about her escapades with the robot so far; much to Inzi's interest and amusement. She also mentioned how Sun had commented on how he wished he was ticklish.
          "Hmmm..." Inzi got up to shuffle through his closet. "Y'know how Roscoe is only ticklish from electricity?"           "Yeah?"           Inzi pulled out his TENS unit. "Maybe the same logic applies to them?"
          Mina's eyes lit up. "Ohhh, that could work!!" She never did like using the TENS unit on herself. Inzi had it purely for his own personal research as an aspiring physical therapist - and totally not to get his own dose of ticklish shocks, not at all -  but Mina found the light zappy sensations to be quite unpleasant; and downright painful if she had it on any setting above low. But if electricity could give their clowny robot friend a ticklish dose of his own medicine, then maybe Sunny could get his wish after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
          Management had informed her that thanks to Moon’s little ‘game’ the previous night, maintenance was testing the integrity of the power supply for the entire wing of the building around and just outside the daycare; and the graveyard shift was apparently the only time they had available to work on their repairs. They had already finished inside the Daycare by the time Mina was on-shift, but it was eerie seeing the rest of the building so dark...
            When she entered the Daycare, Sunny was already down near the office door, bouncing up and down impatiently in place. “Oh! Hey, Sunn— ”             He scooped her up and gave her a tight spinning hug. “HIII MEENIE-BEANIE!!”               Mina exclaimed and staggered on her feet when Sunny put her down. She was starting to accept that this was just going to be his standard greeting.              “Y’know, I gotta say, I’m SUPER impressed! Moony hasn’t let anyone stay in his room in months!”             “...Wait, really?” She smiled a little. Maybe she was getting through to him. “...I mean, it was more like he kidnapped me and held me captive.”              Sunny snorted back laughter. “Haha, yeaaah... Still though, I’m happy for him! Usually he just, uhh, dumps ‘em in the nearest security office outside to get them outta the daycare,” he shrugged. “But I think he likes you! I told ‘im that he would! If he’d stop trying to scare away all the staff, then maybe we could have more friends here to spend the night with us...” He folded his arms, sounding disgruntled.
             “Scare them away...?” She questioned. “I thought he was just trying to make them go to sleep?”             ”UHH-!! Y...YEAH! That’s what I meant, haha!! Scare them into taking their naps!” He giggled nervously.             “Well, I’m glad he’s starting to feel like he can trust me,” Mina smiled, patting Sunny’s shoulder to reassure him. “He didn’t get in trouble for last night, did he?”             Sun shrugged. “Naaah; He kinda got scolded for it, but the staff ain’t gonna do anything to us. Maybe they’re nervous they’ll end up in the same position you did, heehee~” He gave a playful scribble of his fingers to her belly.             She squeaked and jumped back. “YEEP-! Y-Yeah well, I’d say they’re missing out~”                Sun giggled into his hand. “Heheh, if ya say so~! Not a lotta people I know wanna be tickled half to death by Moony, sooo this is a nice change of pace~!” He wiggled his fingers at her before suddenly clamping his arms around her and tickling up and down her sides, giving her belly a few squeezes.              “GEEH-HEHEHE!!” She blushed from the attention and squirmed back and forth in his grip.               The bot gave a mischievous giggle, stopping after a few moments. “I’m not gonna get too carried away, you gotta get your dumb paperwork done first,” he made a thumbs-down sign.              “Hehe, yeah, I’ll do that in a little bit.” She glanced up toward the castle tower. “So, he brought me up there?”
            “Yup! We both have a room up there. Here, I'll show ya!" He wrapped an arm tightly around Mina; being this close to the robot, she could hear a very soft electronic beeping coming from his chest, summoning the pulley rope over to him. After attaching himself, he wrapped his other arm around her. "Hang on tight~!"              Mina exclaimed loudly at the feeling of being swiftly hoisted into the air, soaring above the daycare, clinging tightly to Sun. When they were brought up to the tower ledge, he plopped her down in the small room, introducing it with a theatrical flourish of his hands. “It ain’t much, but it’s still home!”
               Sunny’s room looked like a very unkempt studio apartment, with plushies and toys strewn about. There was an old arcade cabinet, oversized wooden letter blocks, and a ...traffic cone? Various PizzaPlex posters lined the walls, along with many childrens’ drawings depicting the young patrons interacting with the animatronics. Sun had a whole section of the wall dedicated to art of himself.              Mina also took notice of the large round opening in the wall, recognizing Moon’s room by the constellation globe. Before she headed in there, a small chest semi-hidden in the corner of her room caught her eye. She tilted her head and went up to it. “What’s this...?”
            “O-Oh..! That’s, uh...” Sunny tapped his fingers anxiously.             Mina took pause, not opening the latch yet. “If it’s private, I won’t look!”             “Nono, it’s okay! It’s just more drawings that I uh- Don’t have a spot on the wall for yet.”            Opening the chest, Mina saw that it was half-filled with more childrens’ drawings. These ones, though, all had Freddy depicted in some way or another... Some of which had Freddy crossed out with an X or a crayon scribble.             “I take it you... Don’t like Freddy much?” Mina turned to him.
          Sunny gave a big shrug. “Who, me?? Naaah, Freddy’s great! He’s the star of the show, after all! He’s everyone’s favorite! A big loveable lug who only ever knows how to give autographs and hokey compliments!!” He sounded like a passive-aggressive customer service agent. “I know how to play some instruments too, y’know; I can play a mean xylophone!!” He huffed. “Never MIND all the hard work I do to keep the little guys happy, it’s gotta be called FAZBEAR everything, haha!!” He let out a forced laugh, starting to pace around. “Even the theater with OUR FACES is called FAZBEAR theater,” he growled and folded his arms. “B’sides, that’s not even the REAL Freddy anymore, he— ” He gasped and clamped a hand to his mouth. “Ohhh I wasn’t supposed to say that...”           “Well someone sounds jealous,” Mina went over and nudged him playfully, though she looked up at the bot with concern.           Sunny sighed and looked away. “Yeah, maybe...I know I shouldn’t complain, I love spending time with the little guys and I think I’d just get stage fright havin’ to perform in front of a thousand staring eyes.” He gestured to his wall of fanart. “All this reminds me why I do what I do. I just...Kinda wish the rest of this place could see it, y’know..?” He idly kicked away one of the nearby toy blocks.               Once again, Mina was reminded that despite how childlike this robot was, he clearly had an insightful side to him; a sense of looking for a purpose. “Sounds like you’ve got a lot of unresolved junk,” Mina patted him on the shoulder. “I think you should try talking to him. Who knows, maybe you’ll see that you have more in common than you realize.”
          “Yeah...” Sun wrung his hands together. “Maybe you’re right, Beanie.”           After offering him a kind smile, Mina peeked into the tunnel to the other room. “Can I...?”           “Oh, sure! Hold on, lemme give you a better look!” He flipped on one of the two light switches, turning on the lights in Moon’s room. Climbing in, she recognized the massive pile of pillows and blankets; but now she had a better view of the wall. Similar to the other room, there were posters and childs’ drawings. But she noticed that Moon had significantly less drawings of himself hung up, and felt a pang of sympathy for him. The manager had said that he wasn’t... well, the way he was, during the day. But it almost seemed as if he still wasn’t as well-liked. ...Or maybe he was just picky about the art he hung up. She wouldn’t be surprised, given his personality.
            She then noticed her drawing, along with Sunny’s from last night. “Aww, he kept these!”             Sunny giggled, peering in through the tube. “Yeah! I think he likes them! That red fellow looks like a fun guy; Is he another robot? Or maybe an attendant like me??”               Mina giggled and shook her head. “Nahh, that’s... It’s a long story. Let’s just say he’s an ‘imaginary’ friend of mine.”              After looking around, the jester turned the light back off in Moon’s room, ad was ready to bring her back down to the daycare floor. She hung on tightly as he summoned his rope, and squealed with delight and adrenaline as they swung down. “Heehee, glad you had fun with that!! I’d love to give the kiddos their very own flying adventures, but that would prolly be too dangerous for ‘em... Anyways!! Go get your papers done so we can play! Hurry!!” He picked up her bag and took her hand to start pulling her over to the desk.             “Ack-!! Okay okay!! Before I do, though...” Mina gestured to her bag. “I have a surprise for you!"             Sunny gave an elated gasp, putting his hands to the sides of his face. "A surprise?! What is it? Whatcha got??" He jumped up and down excitedly.             She shuffled through her bag until she found the TENS unit, holding it up for him to see. "You said you wondered what it's like to be ticklish, right?"             "Bwuh— " He balked. "Well, I... Yeah, kind of, actually," he tapped his fingers together, suddenly seeming shy. "It seems like a lot of fun..."             Mina gained a playful glint in her eye. "It is fun! And I've heard you laugh; it's super cute~!"             “Aw shucks~” He waved a hand at her, before taking the device and looking it over curiously. “So this thingy is gonna make me feel ticklish?”             “I think so! It’s called a TENS unit. It gives off very small electric pulses.”             “Electric, huh? Well I know that too much voltage can be really painful to us...”               Mina shook her head. “It doesn’t have much voltage at all. It’s meant to help relax peoples’ muscles but some people think it feels really ticklish. I personally don’t like using it, it feels unpleasant. But I think maybe a metal body will react differently to it.” She directed him to stick the nodes to his belly, sides, rib area, hips, and the ball-joints where his 'armpits' would be. "Now again, I don't know for sure if this'll work, and please tell me if it hurts at all."             "Yes, yes, I will!!"
            She tried the lowest setting first. A very soft electrical poke.              "Nh-!" Sun jolted a little. "Whoaaa... I felt that! It felt weird... Do it again, do it again!!"               She turned it up one notch, and sped up the pulses just a little.               "N-Nn-hehehe..!" The robot flinched and shifted around, reflexively pulling his arms in against his torso. "Ohhh I thihihink it's workihihing!!"             Mina snickered. “I think it is too~ How’s it feel?”              ”It feels- EEP-! K-Kinda nihihice??” Each pulse made him flinch comically. “L-Like my bodyYYY-heehee’s trying to gehehet away from it but n-not in a bad way??”                Mina nodded. “Not a bad way to describe it...” She clicked the settings up two more notches. “How about now~?”             Sunny's soft giggles went up in pitch, and he wiggled around more, hopping in place. "EeeeEEE-Hehehe!!" It was like nothing he'd ever felt before. Sure, he had very basic sense of touch, but there was no reason for a robot to feel sensations like ticklishness or pain - at least not from being touched by organics. Especially in a room full of rowdy kids that were prone to tugging, kicking, slapping and otherwise having no concept of personal space. “GYEH-Heheheh!! I-Is thahahahat!! The b-behehehest you gohohot?!” He shakily pointed in Mina’s face.               She blinked, impressed by his sudden competitive urge. Seemed like he really was enjoying himself. “Heheh, okaaay, you asked for it~”               As soon as the device was dialed up to the medium setting, any semblance of composure the sunshine bot had totally crumbled. He squealed in delight and doubled over, squeezing his eyelids shut, clamping his arms over his torso and stumbling back. "GYAAA~HEEHEEHAHAHA!! Ohohoho my s-stahahahars!! It tiiihihicklles-hahahaha!!" He whined, shaking his head back and forth, still very unsteady on his feet -  until he eventually fell on his butt, trying to hide his face behind his arm. He let out loud, adorable snorts and hiccups in his shrieks of laughter, kicking his legs out.                 Mina saw her opportunity to stick the last remaining two nodes to his feet. She grabbed his ankle and took off one of his slippers, seeing that his feet weren't nearly as articulated as his hands. They had a very basic human foot shape, and a joint seperating his ‘toes’ from his arch, but he didn't really have toes; just small paw-like bumps. "EEEE-HEEHEE DOOOHOHON'T!!" he whined, gently kicking and tugging his ankle in her grip.               But despite his protests, she stuck the node on and made the pulsations quicker. "GYAAA-HAHAHAHA!!" His delighted squeals only spiked louder when she repeated her action with his other foot. “OHOHOHO P-PLEEEHEHEHEHEASE-HAHAHAHA!!”                At this point, she sat back to view her handiwork, giggling quietly to herself. "Remember, Sunny, if it's too much, I can stop anytime~"                "N-NUUU-HEEHEHE I CAN TAHAHAKE IT! I-I'LL PROHOHOVE IT!!" He scrambled to snatch the remote out of her hand, cranking up the settings to max.               She gasped and tried to take it back from him. "Wait! Be careful!! That could actually shock— "
              She was interrupted by an absolute eruption of screeching laughter. He launched himself face-down onto the floor, tossing the remote away and curling in on himself, an incoherent mess of high-pitched squeals and squawking and guffaws, his voice starting to become a glitched-out garbling. He punched and kicked at the floor mats, his triangle rays spinning and retracting slightly. Until finally, it became too much for him.               "E-ECLIIIHIHIPSE-HEEHEHEE!!"              Mina caught onto the safeword and immediately grabbed the remote to turn off the device. Sunny flopped back down, rolling onto his back; although he didn't really have a need to pant for breath, Mina could clearly hear his servos whirring, like fans kicking in on an overheated computer. "H-Hehe...Heh... WHOO... That was fun!!" He let out dopey giggles, slowly sitting up and scratching his head. "I-I can see how that could get to be a liiittle too much after a while... which is why I keep tellin' Moon to ease up a little!" He huffed.
              Mina giggled and leaned in to give him a hug, which he gladly returned. “Well I’m glad you had fun~!”                “H-Heehee, yeah, it’s such a rush!! It’s so fun to feel like you hafta laugh to your heart’s content~!” As he staggered to his feet and started taking the nodes off, He pointed to the remote sheepishly.  “Can uhh... can I keep this? Pretty pleease?”               She pretended to think it over. “Mmmmm... Okay! I can always just order a new one.”               He gave a silent cheer and a little fistpump.              “Feel free to use it to keep yourself distracted while I work on paperwork if you want~!”
              The sunshine robot did just that. Sitting a short distance away from the security desk, he put the nodes back on, testing out different spots like his hips, back, knees, elbow joints, even his palms. His laughter ranged from adorable snorting giggles to obnoxious honking cackles. It was almost as distracting as the first night of him nagging for attention. But she was happy to see the adorable bot discovering how it felt to be ticklish.
             2am soon came around. Mina figured it was now or never if she was going to try to persuade Moon to be somewhat cooperative with her. “Hey, Sunny? Can I go ahead and turn off the lights? I’m trying to convince Moon to watch a movie with me.”              “You already wanna say goodnight??” Sunny whined. “I see how it is,” he ‘harumph’ed and folded his arms, turning to face away from her dramatically.
            “Oh stop being a brat,” she gave him a playful shove. “I have plenty of chances this month to spend time with you. I just...I think I’m getting through to Moony and I want to see that we can be friends.”             Sunny eventually chuckled. “I know, I know~ I want that for him too! ...Maybe if he won’t open up to me, he’ll at least tell you something...” he muttered. "...Waaaait a minute..." he giggled devilishly and rubbed his hands together in a comical manner. "Y'knoww, maybe Moony oughta have a taste of his own medicine~!"
         Mina's eyes widened, realizing what he was implying. "Oooh, you're right~ Are you sure that's a good idea though? Would he even let me put it on him?"          "Nope, and nope," he snickered. "So I'll get ya all set up!" He jumped up, re-attaching the sticky nodes in the most effective spots, getting closer to where the light switch was by the desk. ...Which now had a steel cage installed over it that needed to be unlocked in order to be used.         "You run over, turn it off, and run back before he wakes up. Put it on max right away or he'll just pull it off. Be quick though, he's gonna know exactly what you're up to."               Sun laid out on his back, keeping his arms folded beneath himself, kicking the remote as far away from himself as he could manage. Mina took a deep breath, went over to open the cage and turn off the lights... And made a mad dash back over to dive toward the remote.
         Moon was livid. He booted up much faster than the previous two nights, immediately privy to the prank they were trying to pull. "RrrRRRR don't you even DARE-!!" He snarled, scrambling to stop laying on his own arms, clutching at the remote.          But Mina got to it first, and cranked it up to max.
            She was met with an unholy screech, followed by a cacophony of raspy, frantic laughter. "GYEEEAAHH-HAHAHAHAHA NOOOHOHOHO!!" His thin metal frame flailed, buckled, arched and rolled around in an attempt to escape the unbearable ticklish jolts swimming through him. He succeeded in pulling one of the nodes off before being forced to try and protect his own body, his laughter starting to come out as garbled glitchy wails.          Mina giggled quietly to herself, doing a little fist-pump for her successful revenge. Still though, she kept a close eye on him, not wanting him to become too distressed.          But after a moment, the robot stopped trying to avoid the torment. He pounded his fist on the floor, curled in on himself ... But didn't make an effort to pull off any of the other nodes. His laughter grew less frantic, and became surprisingly cute. He cackled, wheezed, hiccuped and whined. After the initial shock of the sneak-attack, his software seemed to realize he wasn't in any actual danger. But eventually:
        "E-ECLIIIHIHIPSE!!"           Mina clicked off the nodes, and was met with the same sound of whirring fans. The jester's twitchy frame let out low, loopy giggles and wheezes.         "That's what you get, jerk," she stood over him with her hands on her hips. "How'd you like it??" She asked half-joking, half genuine.
         "...That's... what it feels like...?" He slowly sat up. "What... a rush~!" He cackled. "Heheheheh I'm glad I get to dish out that kind of punishment to all you silly night guards," he chuckled and rubbed his hands together, just like Sunny had done earlier. "No wonder you all buckle so easily... If my metal frame can barely tolerate it, you poor squishy sacks of skin must be in agony~"          ...Oh no. She'd created a monster.
         "But nowww, you deserve MAXIMUM punishment for pulling a fast one on me!! YOUR turn!!" He yanked off the rest of the nodes and leapt forward to start trying to stick them to Mina.          "Wait wAIT WAIT, DON'T!!" She barked, holding a hand out and quickly backing up.          He could tell by her tone and body language that she wasn't just playfully trying to keep him at bay. He stopped in place, tilting his head.          "Sorry, it's just... That doesn't work the same way on most humans. It can actually become painful."          "Huh... I thought that was just a fib you were telling Sunspot ... You'd better not be lyyyiiing~"         She shook her head. "Nono, it's true! I only used it on you guys cause I figured it wouldn't hurt you. ...Want to try the other settings?”         He scoffed, putting his hands on his hips. “You’d like that, wouldn’t you? Turning me into a giggling metal fool on the floor again?”         “I mean, you are a jester— ” She yelped and ducked behind the desk when he attempted to make a grab for her. “Oh come onn, as if YOU wouldn’t like it! You just said it’s a fun rush!”
        Moon hissed, crouching over just at the edge of the security desk, where the soft padded floor met the tile. “I think you need to remember your place here, night guard,” he began to pace, like a hungry tiger looking out of its enclosure. “I’m the one who deals out the punishments, not the other way around~!”         She watched him pace back and forth by the desk. "You... really can’t come behind here, can you?”          He narrowed his gaze at her, and jumped up onto the desk to attempt to make a grab for her again. “You’re just ASKING to be put in time-out!!”           She squealed and jumped back. “YEEK- A-And I’m just asking you to give it a try!! Sunny had fun with it, I’m sure you will too!”
        The bot grumbled under his breath, before hopping off the desk. “Well, Miss Wise-Guy, how about this? I want to play a game.” He stepped back to open one of the large wooden exit doors to the daycare, gesturing out into the dark hallway. “Go ahead, make a run for it~” He taunted. “You want your game of ‘Ten’s? I’ll give you til the count of ten to find a place to hide~ And I will find you,” he growled. “But IF by some chance you manage to get back here without being caught, I may just humor you in your silly request.”           Mina huffed, puffing her cheeks out in a pout and folding her arms. “You promise?”         “One...”         The moment he uttered the first number, the brunette instinctively made a break for it. She ran out into the hallway, turning her flashlight on to try and get her bearings.         “Two...Three...” She could hear him still counting behind her. She bolted up the nearby stairs, which brought her to a hallway full of private party rooms, most of which had been left unlocked. She ducked inside one and closed the door behind her right as she heard Moon shout into the hallway below in a sinister, sing-song tone:         “Nine, TEN! Ready or nooott, here I coooome~” 
        She could hear him cackling and ascending the stairs, and dove under one of the long tables, hoping the tablecloth was long enough to keep her hidden. She once again felt a giddy grin creeping up on her face, her heart rate spiking.         The doorknob clicked open. She knew she probably should’ve locked it behind her... But that would’ve been cheating. She kept her hand over her mouth, staying as still as possible.
        “Now where, oh where, could that slippery little mouse have gone~?” He questioned playfully, snickering to himself. “I bet I could find her, if I could just get her to make a cute little squeak again...”           With that, he dropped to the floor and slammed his hand down next to one of the chairs, his vivid red eyes shining right through the tablecloth.         “YEEEP-!” Sure enough, she squeaked loudly and scrambled to escape from under the table before his long arm could grab her.           “There, just like that~!” He cackled, jumping clean over the table and tailing close behind her as she attempted to duck into another party room. She dove under the table again like a batter sliding into home base, but this time, Moon jumped onto the top of it with a loud THUD, pacing around to try to coax her to come out.
        “You know... I have managed to scare off EVERY security guard assigned to my Daycare over the past year,” he growled. “And then you had to go and get some kind of sick thrill out of my games... How amusing~”       She tuck-and-rolled out from underneath to start running again. “Why’re you trying to scare everyone away?!”
      “Becaaaause it’s fun~!” He cackled. “And because I WON’T have anyone staying up past their bedtime on MY watch!”       Mina couldn’t help but wonder if there was more to it than that, given the way they both kept dodging her questions over the past couple nights... But she didn’t have time to contemplate it further. This time when she went into a party room, she didn’t bother hiding under the table. She kept duck-and-weaving around the tables, trying to trick him out, all while he cackled and teased her by wiggling his fingers in her direction. “Hehehehe, I can’t wait to get payback for that fast one you pulled on me!! I’ll make you feel ten times as ticklish~!” He growled; though it may have been an exaggeration, the thought sent a thrill of shivers up her spine.
      She eventually escaped the room and made her way to the theater. Sure enough, it had the jester’s faces, with a very small “Fazbear” thrown over the top. ...Okay yeah, that’s pretty rude. But she realized she was in trouble when she didn’t have access to the theater’s large metal door. “Oh crap..” She could hear the jester’s metal clicking body behind her; though for some reason, it didn’t sound like he was moving forward. She carefully peeked behind her to shine her flashlight...       “Wha— ” She gawked at the sight before her: Moon was on the floor, arms folded in front of him, contorting his legs forward and ‘walking’ in circles around his own body.       She snorted and burst into laughter. “W-Whahahat the hell are you dohohoing?!” Her giggling quickly turned to a shriek when he suddenly ran forward on his hands, still in that position, and she had to manage an impressive parkour jump over him in order to avoid him.
          “Come onnnn, just let me catch you~!” He shouted after her, cackling impishly.             “That’s not part of the game, JERK!!” She shouted back. She ran down the stairs, attempting to head over to the other stairwell... 
          And running smack into Roxy and Chica. “OOF-!”         The wolf let out a warning growl. ”Hey, watch where you’re going, would you?? You shouldn’t be out here running around in the dark.”         ”Goodness, you must be a busy bee if you’re out here pulling double-duty!” Chica giggled next to her. “Kudos to you for staying active this late at night!”
         “Oh dear, I am so sorry, my friend,” Freddy, who was standing just behind both of them, stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder. “Are you all right?”           Mina cleared her throat. “Y-Yeah, sorry, I— ”         “FREDDY?!” The jester’s gravelly voice snarled from the top of the stairs. “What are YOU doing here?!”         “Oh shit— ” Mina ran back to hide behind the corner of one of the walls near the restrooms, peeking out at the four of them.          “My apologies, Moonshine,” the deep, friendly voice of the bear bot responded. “Maintenance summoned us over here to double-check some of the breaker boxes while they work on the other side of the wing. Chica and Roxy insisted on doing it themselves, but I figured I would escort them. It’s so rare that we’re allowed to roam outside of our rooms at night since... Well, since last year...” He trailed off for a moment, before Chica nudged him to continue. “Anyways - Monty declined, and they thought you would be too occupied with your new night guard friend.”         Moon had slowly started to descend the stairs, staying on his tiptoes and keeping his back hunched like a pissed-off cat. He sounded a bit like one, too.          Roxy folded her arms. “Look, dude, I know you don’t want us in your terf or whatever, but the sooner we get this over with, the sooner you can go back to...Whatever you’re doing.”         Moon stayed quiet for a few seconds. Perhaps, for a moment, the jester mulled over what Mina had said to his counterpart earlier that night. He finally sighed and gave a begrudging nod. “Fine. But make it quick. I’m busy trying to... track down a sneaky little mouse that’s gotten loose in the building.” He glanced over his shoulder, his red eyes glancing in Mina’s direction, giving a wink.         “A mouse??” Freddy’s eyelids raised in surprise. “Goodness, if there’s a rodent loose in the Pizzaplex, it must be contained immediately!”         Roxy snorted into her hand in reaction to Freddy’s cluelessness, seeming privy to what Moon was implying, as she also looked over right at Mina.          “Ohh, no need to worry about that, I’m certain I’ll find it. You know I always catch my prey~” the jester cooed. Goosebumps crawled up Mina’s skin from his ‘threat’.
          Freddy stayed back by the stairwell as Moon and the other two headed down the narrow hallway next to the Daycare and over to the breaker box at the end. While Chica and Roxy reached up to fiddle with the panels, Mina saw Moon sneak up close behind them... And pull the TENS unit out of his pocket. He ever-so-sneakily stuck a couple of the nodes onto each of their sides. By the time Roxy’s ear twitched and she spun around to swat at whatever was bothering her, it was too late. “What are you— ”           He powered on the unit just above a medium setting, and was instantly answered by loud, startled metallic squeals of laughter, both bots clutching their sides.              “YEEE-HAHAHAHA WHAHAHAT THE HEHEHECK?!”           ”OH NOO-HOHOHO IT T-TIHIHICKLES-HEEHEEHEE~!”           Moon cackled in delight to himself at realizing it worked on the other bots. But it stopped as soon as it had started, since his patience was growing thin; he yanked off the nodes and hopped away like a gleeful little gremlin.              Roxy snarled after him, shaking her fist. “What the HELL was what about?! Why I oughta-!!”           Chica held her back. “E-Easy now, Rockstar!! I thought it was kinda fun~! We could all use a little laughter, don’t ya think~?”              Roxy growled to herself. “Yeah, I guess...” despite her reactions, her tail was slowly wagging behind her.            “Whatever that was tickled us...Somehow...” Chica continued. “Usually only some of the equipment in parts and service can manage that...”           “Yeah yeah, don’t remind me,” Roxy growled, both of their servos whirring.
          With his prank a success, Moon’s head quickly spun a full 180 to glare straight at Mina.            “OHCRAP-!!” It was her cue to continue their game. She bolted back down the hall, past a very befuddled Freddy, up the stairs, and this time went in the opposite direction, heading to the dining area just overlooking the Daycare. Which, in hindsight, she probably should’ve done first, seeing how it had the slide that led directly into the ballpit. And, in hindsight, she probably should’ve just run back to the wooden doors. Whatever, she might still win this!!           Moon’s wicked cackles followed her the whole length of the hallway; out of pure adrenaline she parkoured over the locked metal gate and ducked around the tables. Moon’s hands just barely grazed her sides as she slid down into the ballpit, quickly scrambling to try and get out... But he crashed in just behind her, snatching her up and relishing in her scream. “GOTCHA~!”
          His attack was just as relentless as it had been the previous night; if not moreso. He didn’t wait a second to bring the claws out, manically scritching and scribbling over every inch of her torso, turning her into a flailing fish as they climbed out of the ballpit. He pinned her to the floor, yanked off her shoes, and began anew with his ticklish onslaught. He was a merciless tease, wasting no opportunity to remind her that he told her he would win; that she wanted him to win their game, she wanted to be reduced to this adorable, screaming, squealing mess of hysteria.           Eventually, she had to tap out again. Just in time, too, since the jester’s battery had been depleted. “Heheheheh, that neverrrr ge-ge-gets olldddd...” His voice drawled out, glitching a little. “Be-be-before we sleep, I must recharrggeee...” He stood up, dragging himself over to the direction of his charging station.           “Wha... Hey, wait a minute!!” In the midst of her ticklish ‘punishment,’ she hadn’t had the chance to remind him that she did, in fact, win the game. She got here before him, just like he told her to!! But at the moment, she was too worn out to chase him down, or even shout after him.           So instead, she managed to drag herself to her feet, plopping down to lay in front of the charging station until he came back out.           He came out to see a disgruntled Mina loafed on the floor, glaring up at him.           “I still won,” she stuck her tongue out at him. “You said that if I get here before you, you’ll do what I asked. Are you really gonna be a rule-breaker and cheat at your own game?”           “Hmmph... I suppose you’re right...” He scratched his chin, as if thinking it over. But instead of taking the TENS unit back out of his pocket, or bringing her to his room, he scooped her up and headed over toward the TV, starting to gather up nearby cushions.           “What’re you...?”           “I said I would humor you in your request. You requested last night to watch a movie. You really ought to specify before making deals~”
          “Oh for crying out-!!” She gave a shove to his chest. “Fiiine! Like I said, I think you’ll like it.” He brought over her bag and allowed her to pull out her movie of choice: The Nightmare Before Christmas.            “Christmas...? It’s not even summer yet.”           “It’s not Halloween yet either, but that doesn’t stop people from watching it all year round.”           “I have heard of this...” He muttered as he put it into the DVD player. “Children have tried sneaking it into the daycare to watch behind my back. The staff says it’s too scary for the youngsters.”              She shrugged. “I mean, there’s no blood or anything, but it does have some creepy themes. It’s about a town full of monsters called Halloween Town.”           “Monsters, hm...? Is that why you think I’ll enjoy it?”           “Wha— no!! Well...Yes?? I dunno they’re nice monsters!” She huffed and gave him a shove. “Just watch it, you’ll see!”           He chuckled to himself, amused by her reactions.
          The robot stayed mostly silent and still during the movie, seeming very intrigued by the music and animation, occasionally tilting his face plate side-to-side to the rhythm.           He snickered at the scene of Jack discovering Christmas Town. “Just like Sunspot when staff decorated the daycare for Christmas for the first time... So easily amused,” He shook his head.           Although he said that, he himself was easily amused at some of the dark humor; Sally poisoning the mad scientist, flinging herself out the window to end up in pieces, the Easter Bunny being kidnapped. The entire scene of the children receiving horrific creatures in their Christmas gifts had him on the floor cackling and wheezing.           “You’re terrible!!” Mina gave him a shove, though she was snickering along with him. “You’d better not be going after kids like that!”           She meant her comment in jest, but it made Moon jolt upright. “No!!” He hissed. “Not anym— Not...to that extent,” he quickly caught himself. “Only when they can tell I’m not going to harm them. Like that first song said, ‘Life’s no fun without a good scare~’” He sat up, glancing away for a moment. “But then they go and grow up, they’re taught that anything outside their own little comfort bubble is to be avoided... and sometimes, they become the monsters that they fear...”
            Mina listened to him carefully, still a little concerned...
             Though as the movie ramped up to its climax and it shifted back to Oogie Boogie’s lair, Mina was hit with a realization: Oh no. That scene.           She tried to brace herself, ever so slightly scooting away, laying out to prepare to hide her face in the cushions. Moon tilted his head at her, a little confused by her actions...           Until the moment with Oogie tickling Sally’s leg caught his full attention. Had he been able to smile any wider, he likely would have. He slowly turned to Mina, who had her face buried in the cushions. And promptly grabbed her by the leg. She barely managed to squeal in protest before he brought his claws back out and skittered them up and down her sole, toes, over her kneecap and under her calf.           “YIEEE-HEEHEEHEEE N-NUUU-Hahahaha!!” She whined into the cushions.           “So now I see the true reason you wanted to watch this with me~” He chuckled devilishly. “You could have just asked~”           “YEE-HEHEHEH Y-You dohohon’t seem the tyhyhype to wait f-for permihihission!!”             After his brief attack, he gave his full attention back to the movie during Oogie’s battle, and the beautiful ending song with Jack and Sally, seeming contemplative.                At the end of the movie, Mina looked up to him. “So? What’d you think?                He gave a nod. “It was quite amusing... I like that Jack fellow. He found ways to make his own fun. A shame he nearly fell to ruin for it...” he scoffed.             “I don’t think he was in the wrong for that, though,” Mina shrugged. “Everyone should be free to try new things and explore the world. I think he just went about it the wrong way.”             Moon tilted his head. “And what do you suppose would be the right way?”                “Well...I think he just should’ve tried to talk to people more, y’know? Maybe if he could’ve gotten them to understand how burnt-out he was feeling, they could’ve come up with better solutions together. He had so much pressure on his shoulders to be the best, it’s no wonder he felt like he had to go overboard. Sally was trying so hard to get through to him and show him that she cared, but... He just got too caught-up in his own personal frustrations to notice.”
            “I see...” Moon muttered quietly.               Mina was glad to see that the movie seemed to have struck a chord with him.               And now that his guard was down...               The brunette immediately dove for his pocket to wrestle out the TENS unit.                "Wha... HEY!!" He exclaimed, then snarled and tried to shove her off of him, gripping her arms. But she was stronger than she looked, after having had plenty of tickle-wrestling matches with her boyfriend, and managed to unwrap the cords and shove some of the nodes onto his midsection. Right before he could grab the remote, she flipped on the device to a medium setting with quick pulsations.                "GAH-!!" The bot instantly yelped and burst into cackles and wheezing giggles again; not as intense as before, but he still had to let go of her to wrap his arms around her torso. As if that would help any. "YEE-Heeheehehehe W-Why yohohou!!" He wriggled back and forth. "You'll PAHAHAY for thahahat!!"               Yeah yeah, I'm sure I will~" She giggled and used the chance to stick more nodes to his spindly thrashing form: his hips, ball-joint shoulders, and back. He answered with more shrieks and cackles, throwing himself into the cushion pile, kicking his legs behind him. Mina snickered into her hand. "Ohh my god you're so cute like this!"                "NOHOHO I'M NAHAHAT!!" He attempted to snarl again through his laughter.                "You can pull those off anytime you want, y'know~" She teased. To which he just responded with defiant growls. As soon as he took a fetal position on the floor, she used the chance to yank off one of his slippers and stick the last nodes to his sole and "toe" area.                "NOO NONO-NAAH-HAHAHAHA~!!" The bot shrieked again, burying his metal faceplate into the cushions the way Mina had done just earlier.               "Awww, you're SO cute!"                "S-STAHAHAP SAYING THAHAAT!! I'M NOHOHOT JUST SOME LITTLE DOLL!!"                "Of course you're not!!” She giggled into her hand. “You're big and tough, and super acrobatic and talented, and terrifying! You’re just as much fun to be around as Sunny, and I bet you’re really good at your job— ”               The compliments just seemed to fluster him more. He let out garbled snarling - which sounded a bit like whining -  and his servos whirred into overdrive.
            She didn’t wait for him to say Eclipse this time; she flipped off the unit after a few moments, bracing herself for him getting revenge. But he didn’t; he just stood up wordlessly, yanked off the nodes and scooped her up into his arms.           “We going to bed now?” She snickered. He gave a brief nod, handing her a Moondrop candy. She had to resist bursting into snickering at him giving her the silent treatment, undoubtedly completely flustered from having the tides turned on him.              He finally spoke up as he brought them upstairs. “You say you find me scary, yet you go and say all of that about me as well... Like I said, I don’t understand you organics.” He huffed. "Surely you know the rumors about this place. About... Us. All of us machines."
          Mina just shrugged. "Well yeah, but... I don't think it's fair to judge you guys based on rumors. I feel like there's more to it than what people make things out to be. People always look for reasons to be afraid of robots. But I think you’re all just... frustrated. Sunny made it sound like the staff doesn’t appreciate you guys the way they should.”             Moon stayed silent. They got to his room, settled into the pillow pile, and Mina huddled up to him, just as comfy as the night before. But something was still weighing on her mind.
          "...About the incident Sunny mentioned— "
          "I am not going to discuss it," Moon immediately growled.            "I know! I was just gonna say, you don't have to talk about it if it makes you uncomfortable. But for what it's worth... I don't think you're a bad guy," She looked up at him. “Everyone makes mistakes, y'know? And the important thing is that you're trying to work on yourself and become better."            Moon was quiet for a few moments, before he finally spoke up with surprising softness. "I... Appreciate that."           She turned her attention back to the wall with his drawings. “Besides, it looks like the kids still like you, right? You have a pretty impressive wall of fanart here,” she attempted to uplift his spirits.           “...Not as impressive as Sunspot’s. He’s the star of the show, after all. He’s everyone’s favorite.”           “...Am I sensing a little jealousy?”
          He shrugged after a moment. “Can’t entirely say I envy his position. Dealing with all those screaming, messy, rowdy little brats all day long... They need someone like me to set them straight and put them to bed.” He huffed. “But still...” He went quiet again.           “Well...I think you should try talking to him,” Mina commented quietly. “Who knows, maybe you’ll see-”             “That we have more in common than we realize...” Moon finished her sentence, before giving a soft chuckle. “Perhaps.”
          After a few more moments of silence, he spoke up again. "...Come to the daycare tomorrow before closing hours. Sunspot wants you to see him at work."           She yawned loudly. “Mmmm, okay~ It’ll be fun to see you guys doing what you do best...”           “Yes. Now go to sleep already,” he grumbled. “You have until the count of ten.”              She snickered, already having a hard time opening her eyes. “Yeah, yeahh...”
            “One... Two... three... four...”
          As Mina drifted off, she barely noticed the shift in his voice, from his typical deep menacing rasp to a gravelly, but low, soft whisper; Nor did she see his eyes shift from vivid red to a soft yellow. He went on standby mode again; this time, his grip around her wasn’t so tight.
            Sunspot was right... It was nice to have company.

I barely knew Kokoro but I'm craving to know more bout her and Ma-
Hmmm... Let's see what I can pull outta the thin air for her
Kokoro was 5'7'' aka one inch taller than Ma n naturally she constantly teased her about this. She was also a reason why Ma put down her solid masks for cloth ones (and one eye patch thingy so really only one quarter of her face was visible but that's still a lot with her). I'm thinking of makin that hoodie Ma has to be originally Kokoro's of which Ma has been takin care of this whole time (it’s magicked so it wouldn’t tear apart cuz of use)
Ma didn't stop her research while she was with Kokoro and instead of Kokoro being weirded out about this kinda stuff, she tried to find spell books for Ma to help her out. They would lie in their bed n read thru the spell books together- so Kokoro ended up knowing a few spells herself The reason why Ma was in Japan came up between them about six times (ahah) before, on the seventh, Ma told her everything. Kokoro needed a moment to stomach all that information, but other than that the only feelings that stayed with her over this towards Ma was sympathy and pity. And a bit of healthy fear cuz "what the fuck r u sure this powerful ass yokai wont try to get us like I mean Hundred percent sure???" Her reply to Ma telling her how old she was, was “HOLY DICKNIPS YOU’RE OLDER THAN ANY EDIBLE CHEESE IN THE WORLD” which like yea she sure is
Fact: Kokoro is a word that unites the heart, the mind and the spirit under itself- this was chosen as her name because she, in a way, did that for Ma. Kokoro glued Ma together just by her presence and helped her keep focus and peace
Here’s a first attempt at designin her:
Tumblr media
Ma n Kokoro absolutely listened to Mitski, lying on the floor, feelin like a pair of lesbean sad sacks, multiple times during their time together
Kokoro had a booming laugh that often startled Ma which only made Kokoro laugh even more n almost every time Ma ended up laughing along with her. Disrespect could be Kokoro’s second name- if she didn’t like somebody she’d fuckin Let Them Know, whether it being thru verbal disrespect or her doin gross stuff like unashamedly burping, messin with her teeth or, in extreme cases, pickin her nose. That sorta shit made Ma fall for her even harder
Ma stayed by her side till the very end. When Kokoro got to the point of passing for a grandma, they used to sit together in parks and feed the pigeons or ducks. Ma often went thru patches of worry about what she would do after Kokoro would pass away- these were usually banished by Kokoro giving her kisses on the cheeks, nose or forehead n that would prompt Ma to just. shower her wife in as many affections as possible, effectively taking her monkey brain off the ugly thoughts
She passed away in a hospital durin an evening as a 96 year old, with Ma and her close ones nearby Kokoro had a little biker family (not her bio fam) that ended up kinda being Ma's too. This group was the only reason why Ma, grief-stricken, still stayed in the city after Kokoro's passing. The yokai part of the fam did a lot for Ma when it came to comfort
Long Xiaojiao reminds Ma a lot of Kokoro but in a “oh you are like the daughter we never had, I gotta mama you.” kind of way. One day, maybe Ma might get to say to Xiaojiao how much Kokoro would’ve liked her if she got to meet her

Barry and Honey Trees
And here we have the next one-shot in this collection! We'll get to Barry's first arrival in Jubilife Village and his joining of the Survey Corps another time. I just wanted to write about Barry canonically being a honey tree whisperer.
Word Count: 1682
While Barry knew that technically he was supposed to be heading toward the Grandtree Arena – wherever that was – he was instead on a mission. And not the ‘seek out all Pokémon’ one, although this kind of fit under that category. He was on a personal mission; ever since he met Mai (‘Was that her name?’), he had a burning desire to find and catch a Munchlax for himself. He’s not quite sure why, but it feels important to him; it’s kind of like the pull he felt toward picking his Oshawott. Part of him wanted to ask where she found her Munchlax, but another part of him wanted to find one himself.
“I wonder where I can find some honey. I bet I could use that to lure one to me!” Barry thought aloud as he wandered around the Deertrack Heights, his volume scaring away some nearby Starly; he needed to work on keeping his thoughts in his head, as he wasn’t gonna be able to keep his voice down. In that moment, he just so happened to spot a Munchlax out of the corner of his eye.
‘Okay, it hasn’t noticed me yet. What did that merchant guy say? That catching from behind is more effective? Just gotta throw a berry to get its attention, and then I’ll be able to catch it.’
Barry did so, using one of the many oran berries he had collected from the trees across the Fieldlands. Then, he pulled out a Poké Ball and got ready to throw one once the Munchlax began to eat.
“Ngyeh!”
The ball connected. It bounced around midair for a moment, and then…
“Munchlax caught! Alright, let’s both get to know ‘em!” Barry then proceeded to let out his Oshawott and newly obtained Munchlax.
“Shelly Belly, this is our new friend, Munchlax; Munchlax, I’m Barry and this is my Oshawott, Shelly Belly. I hope we can all be friends.”
The Munchlax seemed to not mind the idea, letting out a cry of happiness – or maybe agreement.
“Hmmm… but what should I call you?” Barry asked, sort of to himself as he looked over the Big Eater Pokémon (‘Big Eater Pokémon…? Oh right, it’s classification. But how do I know that?’ ). Maybe observing it would give him an idea.
“You know, I think you’re bigger than Mai’s Munchlax, so how about I call you Chonk?” Munchlax seemed to be okay with that name, given how it nodded at that name.
“Well, now that I’ve gotten what I was looking for, time to head back to camp and toward the arena!” Barry declared as he returned his two companions to their Poké Balls. He headed off back in the way he came, and while he took some time, he eventually reached the Heights Camp. Professor Laventon noticed the newest member of the Survey Corps approaching.
“Barry, my boy! What are you doing coming from that way? I thought you were headed off to Grandtree Arena?”
“I was looking for a Munchlax, and I found one!”
“You… found a Munchlax? My current research says that’s a rare find! Well, are you going to leave it here to be studied like you’ve done with all the other Pokémon you’ve caught?”
“Nope! Chonk is gonna come with me!”
“‘Chonk’?”
“That’s what I decided to call him. He looked bigger than Mai’s Munchlax. Wanna see?”
“Certainly!” With the professor’s agreement to seeing it, Barry let out his new Pokémon.
“My word, you are correct, my boy! This Munchlax is quite large for its species for not being an Alpha.”
After Professor Laventon had observed Chonk for a bit, Barry recalled him and headed off toward the Grandtree Arena. After plenty of wandering (and getting kinda lost), Barry found a path across the river to a forest with a big tree. Once he had made it into the forest though, he wasn’t quite sure where exactly he was supposed to go. Before he could ponder the connection between the name ‘Grandtree Arena’ and the massive tree ahead of him, he was distracted by some nearby Pokémon. He caught a Scyther and two Combee when he noticed something on the ground. He got closer and discovered that it was some clumps of honey. He picked them up and continued on his way. He kept going,  past the giant Golbat, through the tunnel, and all the way down to what seemed to be a dead end where there was more Combee and–!
‘An Alpha Heracross!–’ Barry thought as he crouched in a nearby patch of grass ‘–I know it’s dangerous, but I really want to catch it for some reason! But what can I do to distract it?–’ Barry thought about it when he noticed a nearby tree ‘–Maybe if I had some honey, I could put it on that tree…? Wait, I do have honey! I found some earlier!’
Barry stayed low and slowly inched toward the tree. He carefully broke open one of the honeycombs, grabbed a leaf off the ground, and used it to lather the tree with honey. Then, he quickly returned to the grass patch and waited for the Alpha to approach the tree.
Not long after, it picked up the scent of honey and made its way over. When it was distracted, Barry pulled out a Heavy Ball, crept a bit closer from behind, and threw it. (“Ngyeh!”) The ball bounced, and then…
“Alpha Heracross caught! Now, time to… what is that?” As Barry began to celebrate his new capture, he noticed something odd in a nearby tree. It looked like a black shape from behind, and from the front it had an eye and was shaped like the letter ‘E’.
“Huh, I should probably catch that. Doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere though, so now I can bond some with my new friend!” Barry let out the Heracross, which towered over him. He introduced himself, and when the Pokémon had no qualms about joining him, he began pondering up a name.
“Ya know, it’s kinda interesting how despite being calm now, you were all angry a moment ago. Angry… angry…” Barry trailed off on that word for some reason, staring at the odd shaped creature in the tree, the… E shaped one…
“That’s it! Anger E! That’s what I’ll call you! If you don’t mind, that is?” Heracross seemed to have no complaints there either, so Barry recalled him (“We’ll introduce you to the others later.”) and proceeded to catch the E in the tree. Once he had done so, a sonar ping rang out from his wrist.
“Huh? What’s this thing want?” Barry took a look at the Arc-etch, and noticed it was directing him to go toward the Grandtree Arena.
“I can’t believe I forgot this had a map! Would’ve been helpful to recall that earlier…”
~~~~~
Laventon saw Barry approaching the Heights Camp once again, this time from the direction of Grandtree Arena.
“Ah, Barry! How did your meeting with the young warden Lian go?”
“It went kinda well, I think. Anyway, they described the situation to me, and I came back here so we could come up with an idea.”
“Well, that doesn’t sound like it took too long. Why were you away for so long?”
“I got a bit lost; I wasn’t sure where the Grandtree Arena was–” that surprised Laventon “–and before you say anything, that Lian kid already poked a bit of fun at me for not connecting the name to that giant tree,” Barry finished saying as he pointed in the direction of said tree.
“Well then! Let us be off back to Jubilife! We can come up with an idea there.”
“OH! Before we do, I wanted to show you the Pokémon I caught!” Laventon gave him the go ahead, and the young Survey Corps member showed him: a Scyther, a male Combee, a female Combee, a–!
“My word, is that an Unown?”
“Uuuh, I guess so? I found it in a tree and caught it. Oh, and I found another crossing the river back over here.” Barry explained as he let out an S shaped creature to accompany the E.
“Ah! Then let me give you these Unown pages! They are comprised of hints I wrote detailing where to find each form.”
“Cool, but how do you know where each is found? And when did you find the time to come up with these riddles and write ‘em all out in this odd script?”
“Ah, it appears you have one more Pokémon to show me!” Laventon declared. ‘Hopefully he didn’t notice me dodging those questions; he doesn’t seem to always have the best attention span.’
“Oh yeah! Come on out!” Laventon wasn’t sure what Pokémon he was expecting, but it was certainly not an Alpha Heracross!
“Meet Anger E!”
“‘Angry’?”
“No, Anger E. It came to me ‘cause I was thinking about the difference in his temperament before and after being caught. He was all angry beforehand, and I found him in the same area where I found that E Unown.”
“How did you even catch it?” Laventon was absolutely flabbergasted by this. Barry explained how he had lathered a tree in honey to lure the Heracross over and threw a Heavy Ball from behind.
“To be honest, I wasn’t expecting it to work so well. I thought I’d have to wait longer for him to approach the honey. And I also thought I might have to do something similar for Chonk; didn’t expect to find a Munchlax just wandering around.” Barry said as he scratched the back of his neck.
“Lathering trees in honey to lure out Pokémon? Why, that’s ingenious! We’ll have to try that out in the future. Marvelous thinking, Barry, my boy!”
The way the young boy’s eyes lit up at the praise was concerning. Was praise from an adult so rare in his life before arriving here? As they began to head off toward Jubilife to think of a solution to the frenzy issue, Laventon resolved to praise Barry so much that he would grow used to it.

Current Team:
Oshawott - Shelly Belly
Munchlax - Chonk
Alpha Heracross - Anger E

Got any Chaggie (Charlie X Vaggie headcannons)?
hmmm
First off I'll say I at this point in time I actually don't ship Chaggie despite it being the canon pairing. Their merch together is certainly cute, but as I've stated in the past, Vaggie seems more like a mom-friend than a lover.
Of course, Vaggie is meant to be Charlie's foil of sorts to balance out Charlie's brash behavior and happy-go-lucky naivety, but I just haven't seen the thing that made them fall in love, you know?
I love the Charlastor ship, since they're one of a kind. They love to sing and dance and smile. (Even if Alastor has ulterior motives) Charlie danced with him and was impressed with his magic. Alastor was inspired by her fresh boundless imagination and charisma.
That all being said, I like that Charlastor is not canon, (I prefer to just adore it in fanon) I just think they have better chemistry as people.
With that in mind though, I've said before the only thing I have to go on with Chaggie is that it's supposed to be a Jack Skellington X Sally situation, and I don't care for that pairing because of Jack's ignorance to Sally's feelings. (one thing I can't stand is one-sided love) Not only was Jack ignoring her crush, he was also ignoring her warnings. (Not on purpose of course, but it just made Sally seem like the only one pulling the weight in the relationship, which is kinda what Vaggie is doing for Charlie.) Vaggie seems to always need to protect her, talk sense into her, and also reign in her crazy ideas.
Sally comes across as almost mothering Jack at that point, which is what Vaggie is doing to Charlie. It doesn't seem like Jack or Charlie reciprocate. What the heck does Sally or Vaggie get out of the relationship? Seems like they just get frustration and ignorance.
Sally and Jack have one thing in common: cherishing new ideas and loving new worlds (Jack and Sally were both amazed by Christmas, Sally and Jack were probably the only ones that truly understood the feeling of it unlike the other townsfolk; ergo, Vaggie and Charlie being the only ones that believe in the possibility of redemption from Hell.)
Jack and Sally are also both good at science/experimentation. (Jack with his Christmas research; Sally with her cooking and butterfly brew she sent Jack in that basket)
Charlie and Vaggie don't seem like the type to do science? So there's gotta be some sort of talent they share together. Vaggie doesn't like singing or dancing unlike Charlie (which is one of the big reasons I don't ship them since singing is one of Charlie's favorite things to do, and Vaggie just shoots her down. Of course, she was trying to protect her, but it's still kinda sad.)
Charlie and Vaggie don't seem like they spar or fight in their spare time. But whatever it is, there's gotta be SOMETHING that connects these two.
well... what we do know is, Charlie had an abusive ex-boyfriend that she has since recovered from. Meanwhile Vaggie is hostile and completely untrusting of men. There's a traumatic past somewhere in there that made her this way....
(Of course, the theory of Vaggie being a fallen angel opens up a world of possibilities that could shape their relationship in a new light, but it's far too early to make that speculation. We have nothing to go on in terms of Angel lore.)
I just hope that when... or if... Hazbin Hotel comes out, they reveal how Charlie and Vaggie met and fell in love. Because right now I'm not seeing their spark.
