“This is where the red dragon has been prowling apparently.” Marcille states, looking around the crumbling city of level 5.
“Do we have a plan to take this thing down?” (Y/N) asks, looking around the city walls, observing their surroundings and hoping to come up with any ideas.
Walking further into the city the party spots an arch, “If we lure the dragon through there, Marcille can use her magic to explode the arch and take down the dragon long enough to kill it.” Laius speaks his thoughts.
“Well, let’s set up camp and get prepared for this then.” (Y/N) nods to her words and looks around to the party for their thoughts, all in agreement. Finding a place to set up, (Y/N) lights a fire and gets to helping Senshi make dinner.
“So (Y/N), what made you become an adventurer?” Marcille asks, looking to the (H/C) bard, “I thought you were training to be a court magician?” “Heh, yeah. That’s always what my mother wanted but… I couldn’t stay there. So here I am, it felt like the best thing I could do with my magic you know?” (Y/N) answers, trying to answer while staying as vague as she could.
“I know how that is.” Marcille smiles at (Y/N), nudging her with her elbow, “I’m sure your husband misses you though.”
(Y/N)’s expression turns sour, “Yeah… I don’t think he does.” she murmurs, looking away from Marcille and back to the task at hand.
Chilchuck’s ear perks at the mention of (Y/N)’s husband, he had assumed she was just a childish bard who came down here for shits and giggles. Was she also running away from something? Shaking the thoughts from his mind he watched over Senshi’s shoulder as he cooked, the delicious aroma flooding the room. He didn't notice how hungry he was till now.
“That smells great Senshi! I can’t wait to eat.” (Y/N) beams at the dwarf, handing him the final ingredients she had prepared. “I’m gonna go fill my water skin, I’ll be back!” She announces to the party before retreating from the room. Walking through the halls to find a water fountain, water spilling from the mouth of a lion and into the basin.
Foot steps behind her made her jump at least a foot into the air, looking over her shoulder to see brown eyes and short chestnut hair she breathes out a sigh of relief, “You scared the shit out of me Chilchuck.”
“You shouldn’t go out by yourself, you don’t know what's out here.” he mutters, positioning himself next to (Y/N) to fill his water skin as well.
“Awe you were worried about me~” (Y/N) teases with a chuckle, “I appreciate it.”
Chilchuck scoffs, “We can’t afford to lose a party member right now, not with the fight that’s coming up..”
(Y/N) rolls her eyes with a smile, “I’ll be fine, I survived by myself to the third level. It’s you I’m worried about.”
His ears burn red with a blush, trying not to look at the mage beside him, “And why is that?”
“You said it yourself that you don’t fight, I just don’t want anything to happen to you.” (Y/N) explains, trying to conceal her own blush as they brush shoulders.
“Just worry about yourself.” He pulls his full waterskin from the basin and seals it. Over the past week the two had somehow ended up awake together during night watch, (Y/N) trying to run from her dreams and Chilchuck finding himself unable to sleep until she would begin practicing on her guitar. Each melody lulling him to sleep as if he never had issues falling asleep.
“Why do you crochet all this stuff, it feels unnecessary.” Chilchuck had asked one night, watching (Y/N) thread the yarn together into another scarf.
“I like to leave these to dead adventurers, they may not know who left them or why but seeing those same people wear them when they are resurrected makes me feel good.” (Y/N) explains, her expression warm with care as she made each stitch.
“Huh..” Chilchuck utters, his eyes flashing from her warm smile back down to the scarf.
“I worry cause I don’t know what I’d do without our nightly chats, I think it’d drive me crazy.” (Y/N) laughs, pulling her own waterskin from the basin, “Let's get back to the party, I’m sure dinner is done and I’m starving.”
Little did she know her words seemed to strike a cord in Chilchucks heart, turning his cheeks red just listening to her laugh, “Yeah.”
(Y/N) tried her hardest not to notice the way her heart beat around him, shaking her head of thoughts of him, his life outside of the dungeon, and the blooming friendship she found herself. Or the blooming feelings she had for him.
Returning to the party they were met with their servings of dinner, and so gratefully did (Y/N) accept hers, always eager and excited to try Senshi’s new dish. Moaning at the taste of tonight's dinner, “This is absolutely amazing!” she said between bites. Scarfing down the meal she couldn’t get enough of.
Each sensual moan from (Y/N) sent a shock down Chilchucks spine, distracting him from his own meal.
“I’m glad you’re enjoying it.” Senshi mused, smiling at the (H/C) haired bard who smiled back, her chubby cheeks stuffed with food like a hamster. “Anything to help get a youngin like yourself the proper nutrients for a growing body.”
Her expression soured as she swallowed the food in her mouth, “I’m not a kid!” she fumed, letting out an exasperated groan.
“Just how old are you now?” Marcille asked, trying to remember how old she was during their time at school together.
“I’ll be 28 next month, I feel like you should know this.” (Y/N) sighs with irritation.
“You really are just a kid.” Chilchuck laughs, “For an elf I thought you’d be older.”
“Well I’m not, and I’m not a full elf either, thought you’d pick up on that already.” (Y/N) rolls her eyes, finishing her food and leaning back on her hands.
“You’re not?” Laius ask confused, “I thought you were short for an elf but I figured it was an age thing.”
“Ugh, no. I’m half half-foot. I reached maturity at 14 like any other half-foot.” (Y/N) explains, looking into the fire as her mind wanders.
“Well you sure act like a child.” Chilchuck mumbles.
“Say that again!” (Y/N) growls, glaring at the lock picker beside her.
“I’m just saying, an adult wouldn’t throw a temper tantrum over having to cross a lake.” Chilchuck reiterates, glaring back at (Y/N).
“Oh so adults aren’t allowed to be scared? Senshi literally threw a fit over having water walking cast on him!” (Y/N) nearly yelled, sitting up straight as rage filled her body.
“He’s never experienced magic before! You are a grown adult with an irrational fear of water!” Chilchuck feels his voice turn into a yell as he watches (Y/N) stand and begin to walk away.
“I’m not fucking doing this right now.” (Y/N) growls as she stomps out of the room.
“What did I tell you about leaving on your own!?” He yells after her, scrambling to get off the floor and go after her.
“Fuck you!” (Y/N) yells back, hearing his footsteps behind her, “Can you just leave me alone!?” She turns to glare down at him, only for the half-foot who had run after her to crash into her, knocking them both back onto the ground with a grunt.
(Y/N) groans as she tries to sit back up only to be held down by the weight of Chilchuck who sat silently stunned at their position. In their fall his face had ended right in her boobs, his face a bright red as he tried to think of his next actions. Reaching his hand to stabilize himself only to find his hand on squishy cotton. Wait, squishy cotton? He gave a squeeze only to hear a muffled moan.
He quickly scrambled away from her, panting as he stared at her flushed face with wide eyes. “I-I’m so sorry!” He stutters out. Trying to ignore the growing bulge in his pants. (Y/N) sat in stunned silence, staring back at him in bewilderment. Carefully moving to crawl closer to him.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to it was an accident!” Chilchuck blurts out apologizes as she crawls closer.
“Shhh shut up.” She mumbles bringing a hand to his cheek, pulling his face to hers in a slow kiss. His cheeks burned brighter as he closed his eyes, leaning into the kiss that soon became more heated. (Y/N) biting at his bottom lip before pulling away panting, a string of saliva connecting their lips.
When she opened her eyes again she was met with familiar dark brown orbs staring back at her.
“W-what was that for?” Chilchuck panted out, trying to sort out his running thoughts.
“I don’t know! I-“ (Y/N) looked away as she tried to bring back her brain from the fog of lust, “something just. Took over me… I couldn’t help myself..” she speaks quietly only for two hands to grab her cheeks and bring her in for another kiss. (Y/N) moans into the kiss as the kiss deepens, his tongue moving past her lips to meet her own.
A voice echoed through the hall that pulled them back to reality and away from each other.
“Chil? (Y/N)?” Marcilles voice rang through the corridor, “You guys have been gone for a while and we got worried.”
“Yeah we’re fine!” (Y/N) called back to her, her eyes never leaving Chilchucks even as she stood and brushed herself off, offering him a hand to stand. “I tripped but it’s all good.”
Chilchuck took her hand to stand and looked to Marcille, “Just making sure she didn’t hurt herself.”
They walked back to camp without another word, (Y/N) once again took first watch while everyone got ready for bed. As the first hour passed (Y/N) found herself digging through her bag, retrieving a bottle of wine she had been storing. Tonight felt like a good night to finally pop it open. Taking the first sip she let out a laugh as a certain half-foot sat next to her.
“You should be sleeping.” she mused, offering him the bottle which he gratefully drank from.
“And you shouldn’t be drinking but here we are.” Chilchuck chuckled as he handed the bottle back.
(Y/N) took another swig before letting out a sigh, “It felt like a good time to crack it out. Cool my nerves before we have to fight that fucking dragon.”
Chilchuck nods, looking at (Y/N) as she stares at the fire. “Alright, spit it out. What's on your mind.”
“What’s that? Chilchuck tims wanting to hear about my personal life?” She laughs again, looking at him with a smile before shaking her head, “Far too much with far too little time to figure it out.”
“Well… maybe I can help you figure it out.” he felt his cheeks heat up again, looking down to the fire.
“Honestly? My son…” She took a much bigger drink this time, taking the bottle from her lips with a pop.
“How old is he?” His voice was quiet, tenderly trying to navigate the conversation.
(Y/N) shook her head, “He uh. He was a week old.” she passed the bottle back to the half-foot beside her, “His name was Gaelin… my sweet little Gaelin…”
“What happened?” Chilchuck asked, looking back to her now melancholic expression.
She shrugs, “We don’t know… they say he passed in his sleep.” She clears her throat, trying to keep her tears from spilling, “And losing a baby is hard on a marriage, not that he truly loved me anyway.” She gives a laugh. He looked at her confused as he handed the bottle of wine back, “It was arranged by my mother. After my father died and school was finished she was quick to have me married. He was a high standing elf in the court, only touched me to conceive our son.”
“That fucking sucks.” the words spilled from his mouth, earning him a laugh from (Y/N).
“That’s life I suppose. He left, my mother despised me for it, so I ran. Came here to finally put my magic to good use.” She explains, wiping a tear from her cheek while pulling her legs into her chest.
“I’m sorry that happened to you.” Chilchuck hesitantly reaches out to grab her hand, offering her comfort the best he knew how to.
“It’s in the past now, time is an arrow that doesn’t stop for anyone.” (Y/N) smiles at him, squeezing his hand.
The two sat in silence, forgetting the mostly empty bottle of wine. The night drew on as they stared at the fire. Chilchuck opened his mouth to speak before closing it again.
“Can I hear your new song? You still haven’t played for us.” he asks quietly, finally looking to the (H/C) haired mage.
“That song is kinda intense for while the party is sleeping, but I have a lullaby. Maybe it finally put you to sleep.” She laughs, letting go of his hand to dig through her back for her guitar.
As soon as she let go he found himself missing the feeling of her hand in his, what was once warm connection now was cold and lonely, why did she of all people make him feel like this?
Sitting back next to him she began strumming the strings in a soft melody, taking a deep breath before beginning her lullaby, “My sun, my moon, my darling dear,
kind Freya's gift to me.
The disirs dance around you and marvel at your bring.
Hamingja gives you happiness for all the joy you bring,
may Tyr please gift you courage and wisdom Memir brings.
May Loki give you clever wit and Thor to give you strength.
May Odin smile on you and Fenrir at your flank.
As Nott is flying overhead, please wish her a goodnight and let them all watch over you, they gifted you to life."
As she finished she looked up to be met with wide, tired eyes.
“That was amazing…” he mutters, staring at her in amazement as she set her guitar to the side.
(Y/N) smiles, “I sang that song to Gaelin every night… I can't help but wonder what I did wrong to lose him.” She lets out a tsk, glaring down at the floor, “Just another way the gods said fuck you.” picking up the once forgotten bottle and chugging down the rest.
“You did nothing wrong, the first week is always the hardest. Anything could’ve happened.” Chilchuck reassures her, holding out his hand again; he wasn’t great with emotions but he was trying his best. Trying his best for her.
“Thanks Chilchuck..” She took his hand again, sitting closer to him than before.
“Chil. Chilchuck is too formal. Especially now.” he chuckles, feeling her lay her head on his shoulder.
“Thank you Chil… you’re a good friend.” her words were quiet, smiling as he laid his head atop her own. She didn’t know it but those words made his heart flutter and yet hurt at the same time.
“Anytime (Y/N).” he felt his eyes grow heavy as they sat there in silent bliss.
The ground shook, jolting the sleeping party awake. (Y/N) woke with a gasp and shook her sleeping partner awake.
“The dragon..” Laius scrambled out of his sleeping bag as he spoke.
“Fuck…“ (Y/N) sucks in a breath through her teeth as she tries to assemble herself for the upcoming battle.
The party hurriedly got to the positions for the fight, (Y/N) bracing herself with her guitar and dagger, hiding to the side waiting for the dragon to arrive. As the steps got closer the party tensed, feeling the vibrations through the ground, rumbling them to their bones.
Before she could think she heard the explosion of Marcille’s magic, taking down the archway and bringing the dragon down with it, peeking over the rock she had hid herself behind to find the dragon buried under the rubble. Breathing a sigh of relief until it got caught in her throat.
The dragon pulled itself up from the crash and let out a blood curdling roar, aiming its fiery breath at the blondemage above it.
“Shit shit shit!” (Y/N) was running into the pathway before she could realize where her legs were carrying her, aggressively strumming the strings of her guitar, channeling all of her mana into her voice and guitar as she began to sing, hoping to distract the dragon and take it down.
“I’ve got a river running right into you
Ive got a blood trail, red in the blue
Something you say or something you do
A taste of the devine
Youve my body flesh bone
Yeah
The sky above me
Earth below
Raise up again
Take me past the edge
I want to see the other side!”
Her efforts were fruitless, while yes distracting the dragon its anger now turned to her, her spell had no effect on the beast. Taking in one more breath to let out a scream, trying her damnedest to bring down the dragon like she once did with the kelpie.
As fire rained down she was scooped out of the way, sliding behind a rock to shield them from the fire. Nodding a thanks to Laius before looking over the rock to the dragon that clambered clumsily through the corridor.
“Don't move” Laius breathes out, looking up as the dragon walked over them, the sword in his hand ready to pierce the inverse scale. Quiet clanking erupted from the sword before it flew from his hand.
The dragon looked down at the sword before looking at the hiding party, clicking its tongue to light another fire. “RUN!” (Y/N) called out, desperation in her voice.
“Under its belly!” Laius instructs, sprinting for his life to hide under the dragon.
“Damn you Laius!” Chilchuck yelled as they ran.
“Look I’m sorry ok!?” Laius’ voice was strained as he came to a stop under the dragon.
“There are not enough curse words in the common language! Ponza! Tornado! Unerma! Poojam!” Chilchuck yelled at the Tall-man, glaring at him while he cursed at him in several language (Y/N) didn’t understand.
“Please don't cuss at me in a language I don't speak Chilchuck.” Laius cried.
“Do you have any plans, genius?” Chilchuck tried to keep his anger to a minimum.
“Guys, it looks really mad.”(Y/N) finally speaks, pointing to the dragon as it looks under at them.
“This way! Lets run out the tail side!” Laius yells over his shoulder as they begin to run, stopping in his tracks as the dragon rams its tail into the building, destroying the wall. “On second thought…”
“We’re so fucked…” (Y/N) sighs, looking behind them at the dragon.
“This is where we live now… under the red dragon's crotch.” Chilchuck says in shock, wondering if this would be how he died.
An explosion caught the dragon’s attention, leaving an opportunity to attack. Senshi swings his axe down on its foot, only to shatter on impact.
“Laius, throw me!” (Y/N) demands, pulling her dagger from her belt, “It’s not much but if i can reach the scale.” She looks up as the dragon moves, kicking them all away. (Y/N) sat in desperate thought, trying to think of anything to take the damn thing down.
Laius runs past her, stabbing the dragon’s foot with Senshi’s knife, “Wow! It really pierced through the scales!”
The dragon let out another roar as it tried to step on it’s attackers, backing the party away with each step.
(Y/N) grunts before readying her guitar once again and running under the dragon, ‘I need to give this one more try.’
“(Y/N) wait!” Chilchuck yells after her.
She took in a labored breath before screaming the lyrics again, ‘this is the rest of my mana, but i have to do this!’
“RAISE ME UP AGAIN
TAKE ME PAST THE EDGE
I WANT TO SEE THE OTHER SIDE!”
Strumming her guitar with all her might
“WONT YOU SHOW ME WHAT ITS LIKE”
As she played, Senshi ran past her, diving for Laius’ sword. The dragon’s foot came down, crushing him to the ground.
“NO” (Y/N) screamed, the dragon stumbled, giving enough time for Chilchuck to grab the knife from its foot and throw it, piercing its eyes and causing a scream like roar to erupt from its throat. The dragon crashed into the wall, tumbling the building down with it.
“LAIUS CATCH!” he screams, trying to lift the sword from the ground, all of his efforts stopped at the sword clung to the cobblestone floor.
Seshi grunts, pulling the sword from the ground and throwing it at Laius. Catching it Laius gets off the ground, running into the hole in the wall to find Marcille. “Senshi get up, we have to move!” (Y/N) cries, trying to lift him off the floor with the help of Chilchuck so they could run.
Laius yells as he’s launched onto the dragon clinging to the side of its head as it slammed him into another wall. The dragon bites down on his leg causing Laius to drop down, taking the opportunity to stab its inverse scale.
The dragon lets out one final roar before crashing to the ground. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief at it’s death. Marcille runs from the building to Laius’ side, looking at his now missing leg. (Y/N) help’s get Senshi off the ground before running to Laius as well.
“Shit ok we can heal this, right Marcille? We can fix this!” (Y/N) looks at his wound with panic.
“(Y/N) you’re out of mana.” Marcille shakes her head.
“I can do it, if I can’t do this then what use am I?” She snaps, looking around for his leg. Lining it together she holds out her hands, taking in labored breaths as she channels the last of her mana to reattach and heal his leg. Watching the skin reconnect was the last thing she saw before the world went black.

💙 for supercorp , pretty please!
oh brilliant! yes of course!! i was hoping for this one so i'd finally be motivated to write the scene that was inspired by this post. i have literally had it saved in my tumblr drafts since february. and yes i just scrolled through half of my 784 drafts to find it.
- - - - - -
“Actually no, we're not ‘dating’. We're bound together for infinity. Like the stars. So, fuck you, actually-”
Alex clicked the remote, freezing the screen to perfectly capture a very outspoken, very drunk Lena Luthor doing an uncanny impression of Taylor Armstrong in front of a throng of paparazzi.
“Can we watch it again?”
“No,” Alex answered tersely, setting the remote next to three overflowing folders, a coffee mug that needed to be filled with something a little stronger, and a cellphone she had to silence after the hundredth social media notification sent it rattling off the table.
Nia slouched in her chair with a ‘hmph’ and muttered something that sounded like garbled nothing to normal ears but very much like ‘never any fun,’ to Kryptonian ears.
“Right,” Alex continued, her attention directed across the table. She’d spent the majority of the recording with her face downturn and fingers pinching the bridge of her nose in what could only be described as ‘resignation’ mixed with the ‘I’m not mad, just disappointed’ strategy she had been trying with Esme.. “Care to explain what compelled you to proclaim you... infinite, cosmic link with Supergirl?”
“Not really, no,” a much more subdued, much less drunk Lena answered.
“Seems pretty self-explanatory,” Nia chimed in, spinning in the chair next to Alex. “Luthor can’t hold her liquor.” She bounced a clicky pen on the table-surface to accentuate the point. Alex gritted her teeth.
“I most certainly can-”
“Channel 7 says otherwise,” Nia grinned. The clicky pen was pointed accusingly.
“That,” J’onn began, and then pen clicked in offense, “is the least of our concerns-”
“Exactly,” Alex interrupted while blindly swiping the pen from Nia's hand and slamming it onto the table. “Do you have any idea how many conspiracy theories have started because of this? This has gone national-”
“International, actually,” Brainy added. “Canada and Australia have both picked it up.”
“Which means it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the world is needling around about- about…” Alex’s face plunged closer to a shade of raspberry.
“About what, Alex?” Lena asked. She leaned forward, arms crossed with her super sexy calm, cool, and ceo-collected face. It was almost working too, except for the mischievous glint and flicker of her eyebrow that revealed she was not taking this remotely serious enough for the eldest Danvers sister. “About my throuple with Kara Danvers and Supergirl?”
Alex’s face found her hands. Nia sputtered laughter from behind her own. J’onn stared longingly toward the closed door. Brainy scowled in confusion.
“It cannot be a throuple if two members are the same person,” Brainy said, glancing quickly toward Nia who nodded in confirmation.
“CNN doesn't know that. But fine, call it infidelity, stepping out on-” Lena offered lazily.
“Still not the point. You’ve jeopardized Kara’s secret identity,” Alex interrupted crossly. “And now you've put her in danger of-”
“I thought it was sort of sweet.”
Five pairs of eyes turned toward Kara who, until now, had remained silently observed. She sat at the head of the table wearing her suit and a recent bout of puppy love. Two pairs of eyes were gobsmacked, the third was failing to hide the glee over the entire exchange, and the fourth included a quick wink that made Kara’s cheeks flush even redder and bat her figurative tail even harder.
“Sweet. Right, well,” Alex began again, “‘Sweet’ doesn’t exactly handle the problem, does it?”
“It’ll blow over; these things always do,” Lena added. “We can have Andrea run a boring fluff piece about my night on the town being a slew of misguided comments. Say I said the earth was flat and that I challenged the Second Law of Motion or something. Make it dry. Everyone will chalk it up to part of that.”
“Fine.”
“And we can put this whole thing to-”
“Don't you dare-” Alex warned.
“-bed.”
Alex sighed, J’onn climbed to his feet like a tired high school teacher, Nia bounced giddily in her chair, and Lena was already glancing over at Kara and giving her a look that suggested they were not going to make it through the day without a trip to the broom closet. 
Kara's cheeks flushed even redder if that were remotely possible.
•••••••
And so a fluff piece was written, the tabloids took a few lazy swipes at another Luthor edging toward instability, and then the story deflated entirely into obsolescence. The news cycle moved on, Alex's blood pressure returned to normal, and Kara was permanently living on cloud nine.
Everything was fine.
Everything was great.
Everything was going swimmingly.
Until the second video was discovered.
From the same night.
Nia brought popcorn. J’onn brought a heavy sigh. Alex brought a decade of instantaneous aging. 
“Care to explain?” Nia asked with her best angry-Alex impression. 
Meanwhile Alex was struggling to unclench her jaw.
“Deep fake?” Lena offered lamely.
“Deep fake,” Alex parroted. “You think someone somewhere invested the time to deep fake Lena Luthor and Supergirl making out? For what? Fun? Kicks? Laughs?”
“They already spend hours writing steamy fanfiction,” Lena shrugged. 
“They what-?” Alex choked.
“Hot, steamy, inspired sex, really-”
“No-”
“Kara, darling, do you remember the one with my desk and the full-length windows?”
Kara flushed but nodded. Nia squealed with delight. Alex had had it.
“Enough-”
“Or the one where we lived in an alternate universe and you were a cowboy and was your-”
“Stop. Stop it.” 
Lena leaned back into her chair, a smile of victory spreading across her face.
“I’m just saying, stands to reason someone might show us in the throws of deep, passionate-”
“I don't want to know. I don't. Want. To know,” Alex interrupted, hands cupped around her ears.
“Cosplay?”
Again five pairs of eyes turned to Kara. 
“Could've been cosplay.”
“I can't believe… J’onn can you… handle… this,” Alex waved between the two.
“Should we watch it again?” Nia suggested. “Just to check Kara's theory.”
And without preamble, she clicked play again. It was far fuzzier, far more amateur, and far less deniable than the first.
“Charlie, Charlie, baby look here,” the phone holder shouted over a group of laughing, tipsy NCU students. “Do the impression again, please? I want it for-”
“Yo, yo, check it out.” 
“Is that-?”
The camera pivoted from the ginger-haired Charlie to a dark alley between 
“Oh damn, is that Supergirl?”
“And… Lena Luthor?”
“I knew it. I told you!”
The stage whispers were doing far more for Alex’s discomfort than the shaky camera zooming 2x onto what was very clearly Supergirl pressing Lena Luthor into a wall and doing a very good job of ripping Lena’s $1,200 blouse open. 
“Ooph, Mrs. Fischer is not going to be happy about that,” Nia commented.
A glitter of buttons bounced off the sidewalk, and Supergirl’s mouth was moving hungrily and decidedly across the exposed skin.
“We’ve seen enough,” Alex chimed in and reached, some might say ‘desperately’, for the remote in Nia’s hands. “Once already scarred me for life-”
“But we won’t know until we see drunk, cosplay-Lena’s face. It’s for science, Alex,” Nia answered, clutching the remote like the lifeline to a sinking ship and climbing onto and over the conference table just as ‘cosplay’-Lena pulled ‘cosplay’-Supergirl’s mouth back to her.
“Bullshit,” Alex hissed, making quick work of scattering across the same table. 
Meanwhile ‘cosplay’-Supergirl’s hands were no longer visible and the gang of NCU students were actively chanting them on. “Nia Nal, if you do not turn that off right now-”
The chase continued under the table, over three chairs, and around a trash bin Nia knocked over in a valiant attempt to slow her assailant. And while Nia and Alex made a mess of the conference room, ‘cosplay’-Supergirl was making an absolute mess of ‘cosplay’-Lena’s bun-
“Never!” Nia huffed and side-spun before making a poor calculation and tripping over an empty chair. Alex saw her window and lunged, tackling Nia, gripping the remote free and slamming pause just as ‘cosplay’-Lena found the zipper to ‘cosplay’-Supergirl’s suit.
“Do you have any idea the-” Alex’s vitriol stopped in its tracks. Why? Because they were totally and completely alone. No Brainy or J’onn and worse, no Lena or Kara. “What… where’d they go?”
“Probably the broom closet,” Nia mused.

Catching the eye of a prince
Tumblr media
-crownprince!gojo x maid!reader
Who would’ve thought getting caught reading a book during work hours one random day would not only make you good friends with the right hand of the crown prince, but also end up making the said crown prince be interested in getting to know you.
contents/ warnings: might be ooc, insecurities( some implied), mentions of stealing, a bit of angst at times to eventual fluff, friends to lovers trope, the main characters are all in their early 20s, tba
word count: 0.7 k words
series masterlist
notes: I've read a lot of jjk royalty au recently and I was inspired to write one as well :) this is the prologue and I don't really know how long this will turn out to be but i hope you enjoy it !! (fic under the cut)
Tumblr media
“Need any help with that?” a gruff voice could be heard from behind.
You didn’t need to turn around to know that the voice belonged to none other than Geto Suguru, the crown prince’s right hand, his one and only best friend, and last but not least, your occasional thorn in the side.
“You really like that joke a lot, don’t you, Lord Geto.” you said, still not turning to face him as you continued to hang the sheets on the clothesline.
“And you really like to call me that, even though I tell you all the time that Suguru is just fine. And besides, I wasn’t, and never will be, joking when I ask you that question, [name].” he chuckled.
“You know that my answer will always be no, Suguru. There are some lines that even I won’t cross, and to be honest, it’s absurd to even consider I’ll let you help me.”
“And why is that?” he asked, even though he fully knows the answer already.
“Well for starters, I’m not that stupid not to be aware of the difference in our status, friends or not, it still matters to me. And secondly-” you turn to face him as a smile stretches on your face “You don’t see me coming to your office and telling you how you should do your work.”
“I wouldn’t oppose to that, you know.” Suguru smiled back.
“Like I’m smart enough to even step into a place like that.” you huffed jokingly.
At that he grimaced slightly.
“Come on, [name]. We both know you are way smarter than a lot of the people that work in this palace.”
“Reading a few books here and there only get you so far, Suguru. You, out of everyone, should know that well.”
It never gets easier, admitting that you wish for more. In another universe, you would read all day, study literature properly with someone who actually knows what they’re doing, not only from damaged pages of stolen books from the royal library, books that are about to be disposed not only because the years have left them in a horrible shape but sometimes also because the concepts explained are so old that they aren’t even right anymore.
“You know I could always bring and lend you newer ones right? I told you that on multiple occasions already and I mean it every time.” Suguru said as he approached you and stood by your side.
You also know Suguru would never make fun of you, he really wants to help. But it’s hard enough to get and hide the books in the maids’ chambers before you finish reading them and returning them to the library's unofficial “trash” section. Imagine what trouble you would get in if you get caught with fancy new books. It hurts only to think about it.
“I know…I’ll let you know in case I need anything. I promise.”
Saying this is clearly better than admitting the truth. As much as you don’t want unnecessary problems for yourself, dragging Suguru into all of this mess is even worse.
“This doesn’t look very…straight.” Suguru changed the subject to lighten the mood, as he tried to lightly stretch one of the sheets.
“We both know that’s a bold-faced lie! Don’t mess the laundry! If it ends up falling down and I’ll have to wash it again, I won't talk to you anymore, Suguru.”
“We also know that’s not true.” he chuckled as he gently bumped his side into yours.
You returned the action.
And he did it once again but a bit more forceful.
And the cycle repeated itself for a few more times until you literally shoved him, but before he could fall on the grass, he grabbed your hands and dragged you down as well, falling down a step away from the dark haired man.
“You’re acting like a child!” you exclaimed as you started laughing.
“Says the one who shoved me!” he started to laugh too.
“You started it!”
“Oh that’s such a mature argument, [name]. Impressive, really.” the male continued to laugh as he got up and helped you up as well.
Unknown to the both of you, this whole exchange was watched from afar by none other than the crown prince, who was initially looking for his best friend, but it seems like he found something else instead.

LETS GO LESBIANS!!!!!!!!!! <3
Tumblr media
Summary: Wanting to see her beloved protégé be happy, Toni introduces Mariah to Juice's sister at a house party one night, and sparks instantly fly between the pair.
Tumblr media
"Mariah, I've told you, darling. You are going to love, my husbands' sister." Toni drapes her arms over Mariah's shoulders dramatically while Mariah is finishing up her makeup. "YN is a wonderful girl. Oh, and so pretty as well." She hypes you up for Mariah.
"Gosh, I hope she likes me." Mariah replies nervously. "How do I look, Toni? Ugh, my eyeshadow isn't blended enough, is it?" She frowns in her vanity mirror.
Toni shakes her head and plucks the eyeshadow pallet out of Mariah's hand. "You look stunning, darling. Now come on, guests will be arriving soon." She encourages Mariah to finish up with her makeup.
Reluctantly, Mariah nods and sets her makeup with some setting spray to finish the look. Toni hands her a cute pair of heels to go with her dress and the pair descend the stairs where Juice is getting things ready for the party with Jay and the Gunn brothers.
"There you ladies are! I was starting to think you two were up to something up there without me." Juice jokes when Mariah and Toni join him in the kitchen. "Toni! Babe! You look great! You too, Mariah." He compliments the pair.
"Thank you, Juice." Mariah nods and suddenly finds herself with a Gunn brother either side of her.
Austin flashes Mariah a flirty grin and leans in next to her. "Juice is right, you look fantastic, Mariah." He compliments her.
"Yeah, you look great, Mariah." Colten agrees from her other side. "So, what's the plans for tonight? You got a date?" He asks.
Mariah clears her throat, an uncomfortable look on her face. Toni see's the distressed look on her face just as the doorbell chimes at the front of the house.
"Mariah, my dear. Could you check the door for me, please? It's probably, YN." Toni asks Mariah, giving her a polite way to get rid of Austin and Colten.
"Sure." Mariah nods and steps away from the Gunn brothers.
Mariah makes her way through the house, nervously fidgeting with her hands. She makes it to the front door and cautiously opens the door. The door swings open and Mariah finds you standing on the porch with a couple of bags slung over your shoulder and a smile on your face.
"Hi!" You beam when Mariah answers the door. "It's, Mariah, right? Toni's friend? I'm, YN, Juice's sister." You introduce yourself with a friendly smile.
"Hi." Mariah stares at you awkwardly for a second before stepping out of the doorway.
Mariah steps out of the doorway and you head inside the house. Mariah shuts the door and the two of you head back toward the kitchen.
"It's nice to finally get to meet you, Mariah." You glance at her as the two of you walk. "Toni has been telling me about you for a while now. I love your dress, by the way. It's so pretty on you." You compliment her with a flirty smile.
"Thank you!" Mariah blushes slightly and the two of you step into the kitchen.
You get to the kitchen and walk over to your brother. You hand him the bags on your shoulder and chat with him for a minute. Mariah walks over to Toni, who's wearing an eager smile.
"Well?" Toni whispers with Mariah. "What do you think so far?" She asks her.
"She's-gosh, she's so pretty." Mariah gushes in a hushed tone.
Toni laughs and glances over at you and Juice, chatting while mixing drinks for the party. She explains a couple more simple facts about you to give Mariah more of an edge later.
A little later into the night, the party has started and Toni has disappeared somewhere, leaving Mariah alone. And it isn't long before she finds herself in the presence of the Gunn brothers again.
"Mariah! There you are!" Austin saunters over to Mariah with a grin. "We've been looking everywhere for you." He explains.
Mariah clutches onto her drink and swallows. She offers Austin a small smile and weighs her options for escaping this unwanted conversation she's stuck in.
Across the room, you are talking with Juice about work when you spot Mariah being cornered by the Gunn brothers on the other side of the room.
"Oh, would you look at that?" You muse to yourself and take a sip from your drink.
"Look at what?" Juice turns around with furrowed brows.
You set your drink down and pat your brother on the shoulder. "A damsel in distress." You nod over to Mariah. "My specialty." You joke.
Juice laughs and watches you stride across the room to Mariah's rescue. You head over to the trio and squeeze past Austin in order to get to Mariah.
"Mariah, hey!" You flash a smile at her. "There you are! Sorry I had to bail out for a minute. You ready to grab another drink with me?" You ask her, pretending like the two of you already have plans in motion.
"Y-yeah." Mariah nods, picking up on what you're hinting out. "Sorry, guys." She offers a sympathetic smile at Austin and Colten.
You knock into Austin subtly and push him out of the way so Mariah has room to move. She steps away from the brothers and you step behind to make sure that they don't follow. The two of you walk into another room and find a quiet corner to talk.
"Thanks for the rescue, YN." Mariah thanks you, a light dusting of blush on her cheeks.
"No problem." You shrug with a grin. "I'm gonna go ahead and guess that neither of those two knuckleheads are your type?" You ask her.
Mariah shakes her head. "No, not really." She confirms. "I'm more into...well..." She stumbles over her words nervously.
"Feminine types?" You joke lightheartedly.
"Y-yeah." Mariah nods and smiles at you.
You match her smile and turn around to pluck two drinks off of the counter behind you. "Something we have in common." You hand her a drink and clink your glasses together. "Toni kind of told me that you were single, and my type." You inform her. "She did forget to mention how pretty you are though." You wink.
"Thanks." Mariah giggles and takes a sip from her drink. "So, you party much?" She asks you.
"Eh, on occasion." You shrug. "I'm more of a one-on-one girl when it comes to socializing though." You admit.
Mariah nods in agreement and takes another sip of her drink. "Yeah, me too."
"Yeah?" You reply with a curious smile. "Hey, do you wanna maybe get out of here and grab a bite to eat?" You suggest. "We've mingled long enough that I don't think Toni and Juice will mind. Plus, it means we get away from Juice's persistant friends." You nod across the room where Austin and Colten look like they might take another pass at you and Mariah.
"Sure! I could eat." Mariah eagerly nods.
You grin and down the rest of your drink before grabbing Mariah's hand and pulling her gently through the crowd.
"Toni! Mariah and I are headed out!" You shout to Toni as you pass her in the main room.
"Okay! Have fun, darlings!" Toni shouts back as she watches you and Mariah slip out the front door with eager smiles on your faces. "See, I told you they'd get along well." She nudges Juice standing next to her.

May I ask why under construction is going to be your final kylux fic?? I'm gonna miss your writing for them if that becomes true 😭
So I talked a little bit about this on twitter, but tbh should’ve here both because half my audience is here and also because tumblr actually has the room for a complete explanation without worrying about character limits lmao
At this point, I don’t intend to stop writing star wars stuff completely if that’s any comfort. I have some renbens I want to do/finish, also a recent bentai idea, plus who knows what inspiration will strike. Even kylux inspo is possible, especially if we get new stuff at some point (like perhaps that comic in august). Nothing is set in stone here. I never thought I’d actually be at a point where this fic feels finishable lmao, yet here I am, so who knows
However, I have been writing kylux for over 7 years now. I posted that moodboard on my anniversary of the first fic I published, though I was reading fic and stuff for a few months before that as well. And it’s just… after this fic is complete, I’m not sure I’ll have anything left to add to kylux, you know? With it, I feel like I’m saying everything that I want to say about them. Writing this, as both rough and rewarding a journey it has been, feels a lot like closure to me. Tbqh I’m expecting a lot of people not to like the subject matter or agree with some things regarding this fic, but for the first time in a while, it really is about me and what I want. It’s a story I have to tell - that’s why it’s driven me mad for 3.5 years lmao. And after it’s done? I’m not sure what will be left to say. Maybe something, in which case more kylux will happen, but also maybe nothing. Essentially, I’m preparing both myself and the people I care about in this fandom (including lovely readers like you) for the latter just in case it is what happens, even though it may not. Maybe when I post it, it’ll get a ton of love and I’ll get flooded with sudden inspo. But maybe not. Everything has to end eventually, sadly, and this just feels to me like an ending, like the closing of a chapter. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s just the feeling I have. I’m going with my gut here rather than a specific plan
Also, as much as I have people in this fandom I truly care about and adore and I have people who care about and like me, whether we’re close friends, mutuals, or just a follower and a person that have never spoken to each other yet the care is there regardless, there’s also some elements to this fandom that are not so great. I know a lot of people who’ve been driven out. I myself was cancelled on twitter for running a particular event and the rest of the fandom hasn’t treated me the same since. The fandom has changed a lot in those 7 years, some of which is for the better, and some of which I think we could’ve done without. Plenty has also stayed the same; both the good and the bad. And I think the fandom as it is today and what I want to get out of it are just unfortunately incompatible. It’s no ones fault, but sometimes a space isn’t giving you what you need it to. I wish it could still give me that, I really really do, but right now it just seems it can’t. And that’s not the entirety of the reason, but it is a factor as to why I’m not as interested in continuing as I once was. I’m just not getting what I need out of the fandom right now. Again, everything is mutable, but it’s felt that way for a bit now
All that being said though, kylux will still very much exist on this blog. I still very much enjoy the ship and I don’t have a new fandom to move to permanently as of yet, so reblogs will continue, as will shitposting and memes and all of it. I recently finished collecting all the tweets I want to preserve here, so there will be an influx of posts, ficlets, memes, all of it, that will be coming sometime in the near future (whenever I have the energy to actually start the process lmao). This is still the kyluxtrashpit, after all lmao
So I’m not leaving the fandom by any stretch, it’s just that I feel like this fic will say all the things I have left to say about kylux. And because the fandom space isn’t giving me what I’m looking for at the moment, I have less interest in seeking out inspiration and rather am letting ideas to come to me, which at present I just don’t have any more beyond this fic. I could be wrong and who knows, maybe there’s another 7 years of kylux ahead of me lmao. But I want everyone who’s supported me at any point during these last 7 years to know ahead of time that it is very possible for this to be my last fic for kylux because I think that’s the least I can do for you all

I wasn't sure to make an ask or anything
Because like I'm super nervous to write to artists I really like and adore and appreciate their work
Take it as a complement ofc.
I was wondering... Do you think about Raph giving the rides on his arms for his brothers? Or even arm? Depends on who's riding on him?
I can't stop just thinking about how everyone would love to just sit on his arms, laying their arms and head on his head and just chilling while Raph is taking a break with one of them.
If somehow you'll see this I'll say it again I really like your work and the recent sticker mania was so wholesome if I wasn't too scared to write about stickers on turtles I would probably send something
But anyways take care of yourself! Remember to drink water and take a proper rest
I actually have a couple drawings of Raph and Leo doing something like this..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gah these are old hehe..
So, yes, I do think Raph would do that for his brothers. And I think they'd love it every time. I also see this general idea on tumblr, that the younger bros just climb onto Raph, which is very very sweet.
In my own au, Raph and Leo co-lead the start of the apocalypse, so they spend the most time with each other at first. I don't think Leo would just randomly climb onto Raph or even ask to do that very often, but he would probably seek some kind of unspoken comfort from him from time to time...I think they both would. I have a few sketches of that..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm a fool for them ❤️💙 which is why I draw them interacting the most often..
How I draw them interacting is very much inspired by my older bro and me; the protective older sibling and the somewhat chaotic middle child. I'm not a touchy person though, but we hang out quite a lot and we're very close.
Also thank you so much!! Gah you're too sweet ohmigosh 🥹🥹 I really appreciate all the love 🤗✨!!

“Claude in Hopes is exactly the same way he is in Houses! He’s always been like that and has the same feelings/morals!”
Claude in GW/Hopes:
Tumblr media
Claude, literally, in Houses:
Tumblr media
Let that speak for the fact that Claude was written with a 180 characterization in Hopes.
Claude wants peace and to bring everyone together; not to tear them further apart. That is his character.
#I’m still in the middle of answering this ask I got but yeah#even Edelgard noticed Claude really loves bringing ppl together in WC#when she says ''you really value that sort of thing don't you'' after the Eagle/Lion (+Deer >.> ) battle#like if Claude's goal was to destroy Fodlan and just leave a mess of it A+++ you did an astounding show stopping brilliantly done job#if your goal was peace well you fucked that up pretty good buddy#in Hopes too like he's literally arguing with Lorenz about it while Lorenz is like ??? bruh wtf ???#literally who cares what some politicians did 300 years ago certainly not Houses Claude#in fact Claude said fuck our history sideways with a cactus let's make peace and be friends#AND he got the approval from the whole roundtable and that's all we know on the topic bc it's all we needed to know#versus in GW where it's explicitly stated that it took some doing for them to allow Claude to be king#meaning the roundtable was not up for what he was suggesting and needed to be convinced#they needed it enough that Lorenz pointed it out to everyone and from a narrative standpoint#AM Claude doesn't need to say how the meeting went and all we need to know is that it worked out#but in GW it's told to us that the meeting was very long and it took some doing for them to trust Claude's judgment#the meeting is presented in a more uncertain light with how the lords felt abt it whereas in AM#it's not told to us how things went bc it's not important. a negative aspect (i.e. the roundtable not being able to come to an agreement)#is an important thing to note and if there was any negative aspect of it in AM they would've put it in there#meaning the roundtable trusts AM Claude's judgment enough when he tells them he wants to put their two nations together again#idk how else to explain that so I hope you get what I mean lol#I just find it completely baffling that people actually say both Claudes are the same person and that he was always like how he is in Hopes#like you can like his character in Hopes and enjoy that portrayal of him but at least admit he's written differently you know?#I hate when I see people say that Claude fans didn't understand his character in Houses at all bc they don't like him in Hopes#when you have literal staunch polar opposite sentences coming out of his mouth in these two scenes#the Claude we get in AM is the same Claude - the same person at his core - as he is in VW and all the routes#Houses Claude does not blame whatever the fuck Leicester and Faerghus did 300 years ago on the people living in their present#he also doesn't blame Dimitri or anyone else presently in power for Daphnel#GW Claude there is just grasping at unimportant and insignificant straws to justify his invasion#pretty sure AM Claude would be like ''hey dimi lemme borrow failnaught back real quick'' and smack GW Claude with it#then kindly hand it back to Dimi and smile and wave

*gives you my liver as sacrifice in order to make this ask*
Hey >:3 I'm just wondering what ace and aro and aroace is? :> I don't really know tbh and I thought someone who is it (you are one of those, at least. I just wanna know the difference ;-;) could explain it better than Google lol.
I hope you have a nice day! ^^
THANKS FOR THE LIVER >:] So theres many different types of aros/aces but bassically ace is short for asexual which means someone who doesn't experience (or experiences low) sexual attraction to others, and aro is short for aromantic which means someone who doesn't experience (or experiences low) romantic attraction. AroAce is bassically someone who is both aromantic *and* asexual, so they experience low/no romantic and sexual attraction :D

heyy so ive loved eves songs for a while now and i really wanna delve into their lore. so far ive seen the names of the characters from his mvs, but is there a story? what are the characters like? im so curious and i would love to know where to start reading into it. thank you!! c:
Oof well gotta be honest with you bestie that is a very difficult question…the simpler answer to that is yes and no
The more complicated answer is it depends on how you see those MVs, everything it’s pretty much up to your interpretation. There are some MVs however that are connected to each other to some extent, those being Nonsense Bungaku, Dramaturgy, Outsider and Last Dance all of these make a reference to the characters that appear in each one so most fans agree they are part of the same story. There are two other MVs that are undoubtedly related, these being Inochi no Tabekata and Fight Song, the second one being a sequel to the first. Another interesting case is the one of Tokyo Ghetto that also has cameos of characters from the aforementioned songs and its main character appearing on Inochi no Tabekata several times, which makes everyone believe they are connected…as far as a “story” goes related to his MVs that’s the most I can give you
As of lore there’s a bit of it. You probably have noticed how in every MV there’s a human and a creature/monster like thing with said human. Those creatures are called Zingai and they can be described as the physical manifestation of a person’s heart (if you’ve ever played a Persona game it’s literally the same thing). Usually Zingai are friendly with their human and pretty much do whatever their human wants them to do but there are times where they become unstable and attack their humans. Good examples of this are the end of Dramaturgy and Tokyo Ghetto
There’s more I could explain ofc but where’s the fun of that when you can read it yourself and make your own theories too! Idk if you are aware but Eve has two mangas! One of them is Kara no Kioku which is the story of a complete new character discovering what Zingai are (which explains better the whole human/zingai dynamic) and another one called Inochi no Tabekata which as you can assume follows the MVs’ protagonist and his origin story (this manga also has a light novel counterpart you can find the first two volumes translated here on tumblr). There’s a third one but it’s more of a gag type 4koma manga called Tobi to Ryuuko which is about the two characters from Fight Sing vibing together
That’s all I can say regarding this tbh. Most of the lore or story (not taking the mangas and light novel into consideration) is mostly your own interpretation. Some people like to say some MVs are canon while others aren’t bc they don’t see them fitting their idea of continuity while others (like me) like to believe every MV is related to some extent. I think that’s the best aspect of being an Eve fan, you can just put your own thoughts on it and you won’t be wrong

OMG HAPPY BIRTHDAY
You're so awesome!
By the way, I don't know what you're confused about Eclipse saying happy birthday, but what I do know is that they were reborn! Spoken from the VA Kellen Goff, it's their birthday because we helped them be reborn! :3
thank you :] ♡♡♡
and like.. the reason i get confused is just due to all the questions that eclipse's whole existence brings up... even the explanation you've mentioned could have different meanings!!
were they truly reborn? brought back into existence from some forgotten part of the dca's code? are they a separate entity from sun and moon, are they some sort of predecessor to sun and moon, or are they possibly even something that's a part of both of them that broke down somehow? but if that's the case then what even happened to them? and how long were they gone?
or are they actually a completely new thing, never before seen, never actually intended to begin with? because they don't have any merchandise in universe, there's no official mention of them anywhere in sb, and even their form in ruin doesn't have any unique elements and is simply a combination of sun and moon's parts... their original appearance in sb was literally caused by a glitch in the arcade machine. so why are they like this now?
and also... not to discredit kellen's words about it but we also don't know how involved he was with writing the script, or if he had any involvement in it at all.. so i'm personally not gonna accept it as a fact just yet :p

i think there's not enough mlm eugene content because almost all eugene fans are new dream fans and they're very vocally anti cassunzel etc. i don't want to accuse anyone because i don't think they think this intentionally but sometimes it feels like eugene's (and rapunzel's tbh) bisexuality is just a quirky fandom trait
there's so many mlm varian content because he has that white twink energy 😪 i don't want to say that he's not an interesting character beyond that, as much as i hate fanon varian i think he's one of the most complex characters the show introduced. but like you know fandoms latch onto that archetype :/
but i always thought it was weird that none of the usual mlm fan crowd got into eugene/lance. they have so much chemistry and moments?? they literally get high and sing how much they love each other?? go on dates?? adopt children?? dance together?? childhood friends to lovers?? people open ur eyes!! wake up
Yeah that's a good way to describe it and it's kind of 🙃 you can meme about Rapunzel having two hands and everyone laughs until you're actually serious about it. Maybe because I'm older and not really invested into shipping like others but I wish more folks accept that Cassunzel / ND can like, co-exist, like Cassunzel isn't taking away the fact that ND is still the official couple, it's just alternate relationship to explore and stuff.
Varian also has the benefit of Hugo from that proposed sequel comic, so multiply that white twink energy by 2. From my outside observation, they kind of eclipsed the whole concept of V&7K itself? I can't remember the last time I've seen Nuru or that older woman with the scar (?) on her face? Dontella? Was that her name?
My beef with a particular batch of fanon Varian where he's just a perpetually angsty character who 1) either gets put through the wringer for the sake of... being put through the wringer 2) every other character gets vilified, especially Frederic / Quirin / Rapunzel / Cassandra 3) it's like what happened in "Queen For a Day" never ended so Varian's just stuck in this characterization despite the fact that he got so much better like wouldn't you want to see your fave get emotionally / physically better? 💀
I'm not going to even sugar coat it Eugene/Lance would be a very popular ship but the problem is the fact that Lance is a black character and fandom (not just tts in general) for the most part won't interact with a black character unless they really have to
Also I distinctly remember a kind of spillover effect of the whole "Cassunzel is incest" happing with Eugene and Lance too. I think that also happened with The Brotherhood too to a lesser extent, because Hector refer to Adira as "sister" at one point therefore they're actually siblings? 😶

I got a question re: your last HP post. I was given a full set of the movie dvds by my (now ex) sister-in-law. I never watched 'em, but I've been curious for years about the movies. I did not pay for them and they were all bought second hand anyway. Is it fine to watch them sometime? I don't have any of the books except a 🏴‍☠️ epub of the first one. I also loathe JKR and all she stands for and pray daily for the devastating failure of the upcoming tv series. ✌
So this is coming from someone who was never a fan of HP, but has followed the discourse since the beginning, and is autistic and fully understand the feeling of special interests being That Strong.
Whenever people ask me whether it's okay to watch A Thing, I try to take it out of the mindset of "is this problematic" and turn it into "what is the impact of me watching this".
What do I mean by this? Take HP Lovecraft: the guy was racist as fuck, but he's dead. Nothings gonna happen if you consume his stuff, he's not getting paid for it. Then take Homestuck: the story is from what I gather a good story, but there's elements in it thats inherently antisemitic and racist thanks to its author. You can't exactly ignore it, or twist it, so you have to acknowledge these elements so you don't internalize it.
What happens if you combine these two exs? You get HP.
JK Rowling not only has moments in her story that are questionable at best (slavery of a race being justified) and actively fucking harmful at worst (please look at why Hogwarts Legacy is antisemitic, if you are unaware - I won't get into it here, since I'm not knowledgeable enough on that topic) - but she's still alive and profiting off of it at this very moment, using it to fund anti-trans legislation in the UK.
It is not a matter anymore of whether it's alright to consume HP; it is quite literally a transphobic dogwhistle, with JK once saying that anyone who's still a fan of HP is actually supporting her!
It's a sad situation, and unfortunately the only solution atm until she dies (hopefully painfully - and even then it depends on how her estate is used thereafter), is to let its pop culture hold on society die by not acknowledging it

(this might be a dumb ask) But does Daffodilpaw actually likes Cormorantpaw or thinks that maybe getting together with him will make other cats like her more?
Cause that kinda sounds like a Daffodilpaw thing to do
Daffodilpaw has certainly convinced herself she likes Cormorantpaw. Like, you know in middle school when some girls choose a random dude just because they feel they should have a crush and are like "HE'S MY DREAM GUY" and he's like, Brian?
Daffodilpaw's true feelings for Cormorantpaw are messy and confusing and mixed with her own motivations and pressure from her society. But she believes in them whole-heartedly.
Also, not a dumb question! I don't mind clarifying at all.

PLEASEEEE tell me about the symbolism in your drawing Oh i am dying to know
HII why thank you for asking!! I'll try my best to answer concisely but Tl;dr I'm not normal about either cwilbur or flower symbolism :) it also must be noted that a lot of my decisions are entirely based on my personal cultural experience so I hope if anything you find it interesting.
For an overview, The peice is inspired by art nouveau, namely alphonse mucha and henri privat livemont, and is mostly based on this hamlet production poster by the former. The composition however is not based on said illustration, and is slightly inspired in part by stained glass and fences of the movement. The clothing cwilbur is wearing is from the edwardian period, if I've got my references correct it's earlier in the period, though not any year in particular. It differs drastically in the fact that the colors are very vibrant (I can't help putting cwil in shades of red, ho16 permanently changed my brain chemistry), and that the Cape part of the inverness cape is entirely too short. Otherwise I've attempted to keep the general silhouette accurate.
Now the plant symbolism:
First: Arabian jasmine (which fun fact are not actually the same as the 4 petal vine yasmine, has a different name, Full (فل), and they grow on shrubs) and the Damascus rose go together because of two reasons: 1) i didn't know other flowers to put there and 2) they're very closely tied in my brain. If you try to find their symbolism you'll find a lot of things about beauty and purity, as is common with any white flower or rose, but my reasoning differs. Without going into too much detail, I intended for them to symbolise community and belonging.
Daffodils (the ones depicted are the ones most common in my region, they may not resemble the expectations but they are indeed daffodils) mean death rebirth and hope, its a flower i generally associate with cwil. Same meaning goes for the white lilies. And poppies have a heavy association with war and generally symbolise remeberance and hope for peace, and thus, l'manberg association.
The next five are flowers that represnt certain characters strictly based on cwilbur's preception of them, but they can be applied to others as well, i just thought these were most important:
Freesia: especially when yellow, usually means thoughtfulness, trust and friendship. represents cranboo.
Orange/tiger lilly: pride, hatred, status, tenacity.  Cquackity
Lilly of the valley: cmon we all know this one, ctommy
Boat orchid: virtue and morality, a gesture of respect and friendship. Ctubbo
Gladiolus: diminutive of gladius(sword); strength of character, moral integrity and rememberance. ctechno
pomegranate tree and fruit: pomegranates have a very different connotation in Western media, from what I can glean, as opposed to what I'm used to them being perceived as (I won't derail this but I can elaborate if needed). In short, I've chosen to take advantage of this double meaning and so its here to represent life death and resurrection while the tree is for family and home.
On a side note, I was originally going to do night blooming jasmine (مسك الليل) but it wasn't working, the symbolism of it however still stand: its a flower many love and think smells amazing, but rarely do they actually want the burden of having it in their own yards because of how deathly strong it smells. I was intending on using it to symbolise the complicated nature of cwilbur's relationship with the important people in his life.
And finally, the olive tree: aside from its meanings of peace and friendship, olive trees also mean olive oil which is a product with many healing properties that is not too easy to make and requires a lot of work. i chose it to mean healing and the process thereof.
So yeah that's it, hope it's up to expectation and thanks for the interest means a lot to me <33

How can you access the Japanese dub for SRMTHFG on Disney+???
Great question! Hopefully I can explain it simply.
Play a SRMTHFG episode from the Disney+ episode list.
Tumblr media
2. Click the little square icon in the top right corner of the screen.
Tumblr media
3. This opens up all the audio and subtitle options SRMTHFG has available! As you can see, I have Japanese chosen as my audio with English Closed Captions as my subtitles.
In addition to what's listed, there also is Korean audio and Czech and Greek subtitles options, which didn't fit on the screenshot, but you can scroll down and they're there!
Oh, one thing to keep in mind is that on Disney+ once you change the audio to a different language, ALL the shows you watch are going to be in that different language until you switch it back to English. So if you watch a SRMTHFG episode in Japanese and then want to go watch a different show, that will also be in Japanese until you switch it back.
