Small doodles of Freddy And Kit
Tumblr media
This was mostly just doodling, i dont really think much of the meaning behind them, looking back at this now, Freddy is more of a jokester from his issues with the marvel family with leroy marks, so it probably doesnt make sense that kit is teasing him.
But meh, my brain wasn’t braining when i was drawing it :p
In another note, i redesigned kit slightly :p

Media: Adventure Time
Pairing: Finn Mertens/fem!Reader
TWs: Smut, altered state of mind, oral, p in v sex, outdoor sex, unprotected sex, getting caught naked, kinda implied pregnancy, usage of (Y/N), reader is explicitly called 'girl' in the story and referred to with feminine pronouns and has female anatomy.
Characters are meant to be around 20.
Pov second person
Summary: After accidentally dropping an important item into the pond by the tree fort (Y/N) dives in after it. Knowing the possible danger Finn comes to rescue her but both end up in the other dimension.
Minors DNI please and thank you!
You sat near the pond focused on your handy work. You were currently sewing a little costume for BMO who wanted to dress up as a princess. To make the little one happy you used some of your savings, probably more than you'd care to admit, on buying a little custom made crown for the small console.
Right now you studied the blue gem inlaid into the shiny metal frame to make sure the colors you chose for the dress were complementing it well. However the sky grew overcast and it got a bit windy. You decided to continue your work inside the Tree Fort where Finn and Jake were currently preparing food. 
You gathered the cloth and the little bag with your sewing supplies and got up. Almost forgetting your prized gift for BMO you bowed down to pick up the little crown. Before you reached it a sneaky magpie swooped down from the skies and stole the treasure from right under your nose.
Thinking quickly, or perhaps through sheer muscle memory, you threw your sewing kit at the thief. It hadn't gotten far and being hit by the bag made it drop the crown into the pond. The shiny sank like a stone while the magpie flew away. Your sewing kit floated on the water's surface. You could imagine BMOs distressed face and little tears when they heard that the crown they had been promised was lost and your heart couldn't take it.
You quickly took off your shoes and socks leaving you only in the summer dress you wore that day, and without a second thought you jumped into the unexpectantly deep pond and dove after the treasure.
Just then Finn had opened the window to call you inside for food. When he saw you diving into the waters he ran down to follow after you, knowing first hand what might happen if you got sucked into the whirlpool.
You emerged in the grotto, the nymphs were absent, perhaps hanging out elsewhere. You used your hands to feel for the crown on the ground of the water unaware that you were slowly dragged towards the vortex that lead to another dimension.
Finally you found it. Just then Finn emerged and you raised up the little crown triumphantly. "Almost lost it, but I got it back!" You called out, over the sound of rushing water while trying to swim toward Finn. The distance between you two only grew however no matter how strong you swam.
"(Y/N)! Look out, you're getting sucked into that whirlpool!" He swam towards you, hand stretched out to grab yours. But it was too late, you could only gasp in as much air as possible and then hold your breath.
Finn saw you disappear underwater and without as much as a second thought he dove in after you. Re-Experiencing the disorienting twists and turns the waters swept him up and out of the strange pink pond.
When he caught his bearings he knew he didn't have too much time before this dimension took its toll and distracted and confused you both to the point of no return. And this time there was no sea lard to save you.
He spotted you, already running away from the pond, the only exit Finn knew of, waving your arms around and cursing. When he reached you you were catching your breath doubled over. "Stupid bird thing! Not again!"
"Hey, (Y/N), what's going on?" Finn asked, concerned. "It's my gift for the costume party that BMO wants to do so badly, I got them this tiny replica of PBs crown, and it wasn't cheap. I already told them I'd have a great gift, I can't loose this thing!"
"And a bird grabbed it?" He asked a bit amused at the absurdity of the situation. "Two!" You cried, "Two different birds grabbed it!" Despite your anguish you had to laugh about it too. Such bad luck could only happen to you.
"Well we really should hurry then, Jake and I were here once and this place messes with your head majorly! Makes you forget stuff." He said walking in the direction the strange bird had flown off too. You nodded and followed him.
"And don't touch the pink stuff, that's really important." He said. "No, wait, purple stuff, yeah that's it. Okay we really better hurry!"
He offered his hand for you to take. With his gaze fixed forward he didn't see your blush as you took it. Neither could you see his, as you only saw the back of his familiar polar bear hat.
He picked up the pace soon tracking down the bird. Atop a sheer cliff it had a nest with many treasures inside. It rested shortly before taking off again leaving the nest unguarded. Finn inspected the rock to see if he'd be able to climb it. Not as physically fit as him, you just took a seat on a small rock, feeling quite useless. 
You picked pretty flowers from around you and began to intertwine them into a crown. Diligently you abstained from picking the blue flowers, like instructed. While some strange purple ones wound their way into your craft. Absentmindedly thinking about how you'd ever make it up to Finn. He always helped you out with anything, with no questions asked. You tried to do the same for him, but you weren't as strong or experienced as him when it came to this adventuring business.
You looked up, seeing Finn hadn't really left his spot. You made eye contact for a moment before he quickly turned away. "I uh, I don't think I can climb up here, we have to try to go around the cliff, or find a better spot for climbing." He finally concluded. You stood up and gave him a firm nod and you took off parallel to the cliff. "Thank you for helping me." You said, and although it wasn't much you reached up and carefully placed the colorful flower crown on his head.
Finn gave you a proud grin and you had a hearty laugh at his goofy face, alongside the fact he now had a crown on top of his usual hat. But it fit him somehow. And he joined in your laughter and your heart almost skipped a beat. You grabbed his hand again with less reservations, and you strolled along the cliff for a bit chatting about this and that.
Eventually you were tired of walking and the two of you sat down in a field of soft pink grass. The cliff side was long out of view as were your original goals. "- well anyways, then I said I'm… I'm …" He stumbled mid sentence and furrowed his brow. "You're… huh strange… no wait I got it: you're hero!" You mused while laying on your back watching the strange clouds. "No… I mean maybe? I feel like I'm man! No that's not quite right either… I'm boy, yeah that sounds right, I'm boy and you're princess, right?" He was laying sideways facing you, elbow on the ground and his palm supporting his head.
You closed your eyes for a moment deep in thought. Hero felt more correct to you, but if he felt like boy that's what he was. And though you didn't feel like princess fit you, it touched you that that was how he saw you. You just hummed approvingly. When opening your eyes again you saw a few unruly strands of hair had slid out of his bear hat. That beautiful, shiny hair, like gold. You reached for a strand and twirled it between your fingers. He just watched you curiously. It was so soft, you wanted more.
You scooted closer to him and tugged at the plush ear of his hat, removing it and freeing all of that amazing hair. It sprawled out and was a fascinating contrast against the dark pink grass you two laid in. You raked your fingers through his hair gently finding yourself almost unable to stop. It felt like you had wanted this for longer than you could remember. 
Eventually you found yourself massaging his scalp while he relaxed into your touch, closing his eyes. His head was on your lap now and your fingers traced through his hair, along his scalp and eventually you softly stroked along his cheek and jaw. His skin wasn't as soft as yours. He was quite a bit older than when you had first met. Although your memory was too fuzzy to realize at the moment. In reality you had known each other since you were tweens but by now you were both young adults.
You marveled at every micro expression he showed in reaction to your soft touch, despite being asleep your closeness made him smile. Alas your legs were falling asleep and you absolutely had to change your position, after having drawn out the serenity for as long as you could. Praying you wouldn't disturb him, you slowly moved, but luck was still not on your side.
"Hey…" He mumbled drowsily. You felt like you could get addicted to this side of him. Not yet quite awake, so soft, unlike the strong composed self you were usually privy to. You laid back down next to him, faces almost touching. "Hey." You replied, studying his features. A soft adoring smile, his clear sky blue eyes and this feeling in your core. This want to be as close as possible and never leave again. You closed your eyes and moved in for a kiss. 
At first the blond was confused. His memories were a bit jumbled. "Wh-what  are you doing?" He asked against our lips, with intrigue in his voice. "Dunno, but it feels good." Your hands found their way back into his hair, and he draped his arms around your waist and pulled you closer. "Yeah." He said breathlessly before kissing you back passionately.
Your soft lips eagerly explored his and your heart beat picked up its pace. This felt good, right, like something you should have done long ago. You couldn't even remember what had held you back until now. He tugged at your waist inviting you to climb on top of him and you complied.
You were straddling him, your hands steadying themselves on his chest. You broke the kiss to stare into each other's eyes for a moment. His sparkled like a lake glittering in the sunlight. His hands moved up your sides and toward your chest. You held your breath in anticipation but he waited for a signal from you. You eagerly nodded and finally he cupped your supple breasts.
If only it weren't for that annoying dress you wore. You started pulling it over your head, and always the hero Finn gladly helped you. He also made short work of your bra tossing the unnecessary clothes to the side. In turn you helped him rid himself of his blue shirt. Scars from his many adventures adorned his toned upper body. You let your fingers run across his chest delighting in how he felt under you, before being pulled into another deep kiss.
Your underpants started to soak in the testament to your desire as you instinctually ground your still clothed sex against his. You felt his hard length through his jeans and wanted to free it so badly. When the kiss naturally broke you moved downwards, despite Finns little noise of protest against loosing your warmth on his body. 
You undid the button swiftly and pulled his pants and undies down together. His cock slapped against his belly and you could finally see it in full. You eagerly wrapped your hand around it and hovering your mouth over the tip. Something told you to hold back though, and your gaze snapped up to meet his. "May I?" You inquired. "Yes, please!" There was a desperation in his voice you thought you never heard before.
You wet your lips with saliva before carefully engulfing his tip. You delighted in the sensation and explored as much of the delicate skin as could with your mouth. He hissed making you pull back in worry. "Did I hurt you?" You frowned. "No- no keep going, it's good!" You returned to your administrations and delicately drag your tongue along his length. From the base up to the tip. His natural smell and taste leaving you wanting more.  
You wrap your hand around his cock lazily stroking it while letting your tongue explore other sensitive areas. He winced when you started licking and lightly suckling his balls and you watched him tense up more and more. You found a good pace with your hand and eventually your tongue and lips found themselves back around his cock as well. Free hand fondling his balls tenderly. 
His breathing became more and more ragged and his muscles tensed up as curses and praises fell from his lips. His hands fisted into your hair desperate for something to ground him as his head was spinning. Suddenly he pulled on your hair, rougher than he wanted making you yelp. "Wait, not yet." He stammered, sitting himself up as his chest heaved. He caught his breath as his length twitched impatiently.
Swiftly he guided you to lay down on your back and freed you of your soaked panties. Intrigued by your lust he dragged his tongue through your folds tasting your slick. When he brushed up against your sensitive swollen nub you couldn't help a moan escaping your lips. He smiled against your skin, revelling in your lewd sound as much as you enjoyed his. Now that he found your apparent weak spot there was no holding back anymore. He experimented with the direction and intensity of his licks to find the combination that would make you fall apart.
Now it was you who desperately held onto him. Throwing your head back into the soft grass tinged purple by the Twilight. Desperation grew in your core and you arched your back and leaned into all touch he provided. Beyond the sensations and delight and bliss you felt your head was empty. Nothing beyond him, and you and the immediate surrounding. But what more should there be? This was all you needed.
Finally he pulled away leaving you shaking. You saw that he had been stroking his length with his free hand keeping it ready for you. He climbed on top of you, supporting himself on his elbows. His lips ghosted over yours as he eased himself into your core. You bit your lip at the amazing sensation of being filled up like that. Once he bottomed out he let out a quiet "Fuck, you're perfect." Before settling into a comfortable pace.
Every thrust tightened the knot in your belly, threatening to burst any minute. Your fate was sealed when his lips found yours again. He groaned into the kiss, clearly close too, making you wrap your legs around him, to allow for even deeper access. He picked up the pace in turn, breaking the kiss to instead explore your sensitive nipples with his tongue. Grazing over them with his teeth to test your reaction. Your whine and the tensing of your muscles were exactly what he was looking for.
Trailing kisses up from your breast to the side of your neck he first nibbled carefully before testing out a bit more force. Your hands pulled on his hair as tears started forming in the corners of your eyes. He paused for a moment before your eyes met and he knew those weren't the bad kinds of tears. Eagerly he made his way up and down your neck, biting, and then soothingly licking the affected area. All while keeping the pace that had you rushing toward your orgasm.
"Oh glob, please, please don't stop." You whined and with that and a few more thrusts your eyes were overflowing as you clung to him, your hero, for dear life. Too wrapped up in the blazing feeling you barely noticed his faltering breath. You held him close when he buried his face into the crook of your neck as he was riding his high praising and thanking you.
First you lay there just panting, in each other's embrace. Finally he pulled away and collapsed next to you. Both of you were lying on your sides, facing the other. His face was flushed and he looked somewhat drowsy. Then you noticed the flower crown haphazardly lying in the grass behind him. You stretch to pick it up and study it. It reminds you of something. "Hey, what did we want to do here again?" You wondered. "Maybe whatever we just did again, uh after a nap." He shrugged. "Yeah that'd be nice." 
Still the crown had your mind in a vice grip. Your serenity was rudely interrupted suddenly by a strange sight. A little old lady, clad in purple, somehow flying with her hair, emerged from the tree line. She freaked out when she saw you. She exaggerated disgust despite clearly peeking at your naked forms and implored you to get dressed again. Embarrassed, you quickly gathered your clothes back and dressed up. She wore a familiar object on her head. Something you thought you wanted to have. 
After thoroughly apologizing you offered her a trade. Your flower crown for the small golden one she had. To your surprise she was eager to trade, calling her current crown "trash she found in a birds nest".
You parted ways with her and you and Finn picked a random direction to walk towards. He wrapped his arm around you protectively and you rested your head on his shoulder. By now it was completely dark. Suddenly cries filled the night and you took off toward the disturbance. Little critters fled a clearing in the woods and you soon saw why. A sort of yellow snake, with a hand for a head was terrorizing the citizens. Picking them up, before dropping them again.
Finn held your hand tightly unsure of what to do without any weapons. The hand snake approached and despite Finns efforts it got a hold of his arm. It felt up his arm, all the way to his face, before grabbing both of you and dragging you through the woods. Through bushes, thorns, over rocks, to a clearing and into a pond.
As you were dragged through the water thoughts and memories flooded back into you. You both emerged with a gasp and coughing. It was Jake there in the grotto, with the concerned water nymphs. "What the heck you guys!?" The dog scolded. "You were gone for hours! I had to feel around for you for so long, glob, I don't even wanna know the sorts of stuff I touched before I FINALLY found you!"
But Jakes scolding and the water nymphs chatter fell on more or less deaf ears. You and Finn were quiet. When you emerged from the pond and saw the familiar tree fort again you felt a strange heaviness.
Jake went ahead inside as it had started to rain in the mean time. You and Finn stood there for a while, neither sure of what to say. You wanted to hold his hand again, be just as close as just an hour ago, but now you weren't sure anymore. Did he like you, or was it just that dimension breaking down your memories until you only act on base impulse. 
Finally you spoke. "Thank you for trying to save me." "Always." And that was true, he'd try to save you always. No questions asked. He touched your hand lightly, and you intertwined your fingers.
Until he broke the silence again. "Uh, (Y/N), a- are you on birth control?" 
You gulped.
~~~
AN: Any sort of engagement is very, very appreciated, especially comments and/or critiques as I'd love to improve. I wanted to leave the ending a bit open because I'm playing with the thought of a part two, but as it stands the reader can decide what to make of it.

The AOT Crew Goes to Disney World! 🫶🏼
All the shenanigans that would go on if the worlds saddest crew went to the happiest place on Earth
includes: Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Levi, Erwin, Sasha, Connie, Jean, Zeke, and Reiner. Totally SFW. Fluffy hcs ahead 💞
Eren
Fights thru crowds to be the first in line at all his rides, and eventually forces the crew to all get fast passes bc he’s sick and tired of waiting
Goes to the spinning tea cups and spins his way too fast that he physically cannot stand and nearly vomits all over himself
Mikasa has to carry him over her shoulder after that for a little while
And he still literally has no self control after this, he’ll go on a rollercoaster regardless if he’s just eaten and stuffed himself to the brim. He’ll just takes the L and vomit it all up afterwards
Instead of getting Mickey ears like everyone else, he gets a Kylo Ren cape and helmet
Has Mikasa on his shoulders during the parade so that she can get a better view of all the floats and characters :’)
Mikasa
Gets a Disney Princess makeover!! She gets the full Snow White transformation and Eren just skdjsjsjjs he’s beside himself
She convinces Eren to do the novelty drawings where they make their heads and features all huge and exaggerated; she treasures it forever ;u;
Keeps an eye at Eren at all times and gets jealous when all the Disney princesses get flirty with him
She buys Eren a Mickey balloon under the guise of a sweet little gift but really she uses it as a tracker to know where he’s at at all times if she happens to lose sight of him
Armin
A little girl mistook him as Cinderella and thought he was so pretty lmaooo everyone was making fun of him after that, poor bby
Tries to carefully plan out the day ahead, constantly checking the Disney app to check wait times, arranges when and where they should stop for meals, snacks and hydration stations, and even schedules around shows!!
Checks the gift shops to buy him, Eren, and Mikasa Disney friendship bracelets :’)
His favorite ride in the whole park is Soarin’ and wants to ride ALL the water rides
Whenever he spots a commemorative plaque for a statue or location of the park, he has to stop and read bc the history/story behind it fascinates him. He just likes to know things
Levi
Dad #1 of the group
He has to make sure all his children are in line and none of them get lost
The cast members make him stand up against the “you have to be this tall to ride” board each and every time to make sure that he fits the height requirement
He quickly gets sick of the ridicule and just waits on everyone outside of every ride with all their drinks and toys
The group’s solution to this is to buy Levi a pair of Tinkerbell Mickey Ears to “add height”… he is not amused but he wears them anyway
He and Mikasa take a photo with Snow White and the seven now eight dwarves… “But Levi there is only ONE Grumpy… SMILE!!” “Tch… shut the hell up.”
Erwin
Dad #2 of the group
Has to make sure Dad #1 doesn’t lose his ducking mind
He made matching t-shirts for the entire crew!!! They all say “Survey Corp: Disney World 2022” in glittery letters and everyone’s name is on the back of their shirts. Except his says “Dad #2” and Levi “Dad #1” The emblem on the shirt are the Wings of Freedom and they have Mickey ears on themskskskksks
Also wearing the typical dad fit— khaki shorts with the shirt tucked, New Balance trainers, Fanny pack, and you can see streaks of sunscreen across his nose bc p r o t e c t i o n!
At one point, Connie accidentally falls and scrapes his knee and Daddy Erwin SPRINGS into action, grabbing a Mickey Mouse bandaid from his first aid kit
He takes photos and videos of everything and everyone like the proud dad that he is
Gets Walkie Talkies to be in constant communication with Levi:
Erwin on the walkie, to Levi who is literally only 10 ft ahead of him: I got eyes on Splash Mountain, I’m estimating about a 60 minute wait, should return at 1600 hrs. Over.
Levi, on the walkie, glaring back at Erwin: Fine, but we’re getting something to eat after this is over
Erwin: After this is what, Levi? I didn’t quite get that. Over.
Levi: You heard what I said Erwin, quit playing this shitty game
Erwin: You have to say ‘over’ when you’re finished speaking, Levi, otherwise I won’t hear you. Over.
Levi: EVEN AFTER IVE JUST ENDED THE SENTENCE WITH ‘OVER’ , I SAY IT AGAIN?
Erwin: Say what again? Over.
Levi: …I hate you. Over.
Erwin: No you don’t. Over.
Sasha
Would IMMEDIATELY get a Mickey Pretzel
Then you’d see her double fisting the huge churros. She looks like a Churro walrus as she stuffs her face with both at the same time
The guys eventually have to get her a child leash backpack to keep her from running amok on all the food stands
Also gets a Disney Princess Makeover!!! She gets the Belle transformation. So cute ;u; Nic would be all over her, saying he’s her Prince Adam
Her feet start to hurt from all the walking and wearing the wrong shoes, so Nic’s solution it to get her giant plush Minnie slippers. “ITS LIKE IM WALKING ON CLOUDS HHHHH”
HAS to take a photo kissing Nic in front of Cinderella’s castle <3 (group vomit ensues)
Ofc gets special souvenirs for each of her little siblings and her parents!!
Connie
HAS to get the classic Mickey cap and ears with his name embroidered across the forehead
Forced Sasha to take pictures with him and Chip and Dale and it was the cutest shit ever. Double twinning!! :’)
Then he has Jean take a pic with him in front of Cinderella’s castle doing the “I’m flying, Jack!” Titanic pose. Jean is Jack and Connie is Rose with his arms spread like a bird.
Calls his mom at the end of every day to tell her how much fun he’s having, about all the shows and attractions, the characters he’s met, and the food he’s eat. She’s SOO happy to hear from him but always bugs him to make sure he’s wearing sunscreen, staying safe, and looking out for Sasha and Jean
Jean
Acts totally unimpressed by the Disney Magic but eventually it overcomes him, and by the time they settle in to watch Mickey’s Magic parade and firework show he is SOOOOO pumped
Is one of the first to get drunk at Epcot because he “Drinks Around the World” and then tries to climb to the top of the Epcot globe.
Levi puts an end to that real quick and basically water boards Jean to sober him up
He gets a commemorative collector’s pin both to signify his first trip to Disney World and honor his fallen friend, Marco, who he knows would have LOVED the trip himself. He keeps that pin on his person at all times now
Zeke
He was super excited about this vacation because he saw it as an opportunity to bond with his little brother, and do all the things he would’ve loved to do with Eren if they got to grow up together
When they go to animal kingdom, everytime they come across an ape exhibit or a Jungle Book themed area, the guys point and laugh. “LOOK ZEKE IT’S YOU”
“Damn, it smells like shit in this park… what the fuck, Zeke?”
This quickly grows old and he just becomes pouty the entire time
He and Eren get light sabers in Star Wars land and re-enact a fight scene, light saber sound effects and all; Zeke uses the force to choke Eren. “Eren I am…. Your brother”. “NOOOOO”.
Gets himself a Darth Vader robe and helmet to complete his look
Makes ONE (1) joke to Levi about him being Baby Yoda and damn near lost his front teeth
Reiner
Falls in love with the Cinderella actress and as they’re taking a photo, he actually gets down on one knee to propose to her; she thinks it’s a joke, he does not
Takes lots and lots of photos and gets a ton of souvenirs to give to Gabi and Falco since they weren’t able to come :’)
At one point he FaceTimes his kiddos to show them all the cool stuff they’re missing out on 😭 they get sooooo jealous
This trip actually does wonders for him, being around such uplifting Disney magic, he comes back from the trip with a much sunnier and joyous disposition and everyone can tell. It’s like it healed his severely damaged inner child
And at first his PTSD sorta prevents him from riding some of the rides, but by the end of it he’s calling dibs for all the front row seats on the coasters and having the time of his life
other random hc:
They keep all the photos they take from riding the rides; in all of them, you see Connie and Sasha screaming their damn heads off, Zeke looks like he’s about to puke, Armin may have passed out ones or twice, and the rest are just smiling with their hands up
They get a good laugh out of the ones where someone is making a stupid expression
Everyone is soooo exhausted at the end of the trip and knocked out during the car ride home, except for Sasha who is beggingggggg Erwin to stop at McDonalds for a late night snack
But Sasha we have food at home
The food at home: 🥔🥔🥔🍞🍞🍞
It was definitely a vacation everyone needed. So they could let loose and remember what it was like to have real fun. Everyone’s inner child was healed this trip :’)
Will add more as I think of them :’)

I’ll separate my thoughts on the previous post so as not to muddy immediate data perception with my bias ;-;
For the record I half made the charts because I was curious, one of my fav rarepairs is Redtail/Oakheart! I love both characters dearly and it has absolutely butt to do with how they’re portrayed in canon, rather entirely my own stupid headcanons. These cats are woefully misrepresented by the books, though saying that implies there was an original plan...
Whatever I guess I can whine about both :P
Oakheart first. I’m mostly bothered by the lack of anything supplementing his relationships with both Crookedstar and Bluestar in their respective super editions. I might give Crookedstar’s Promise a pass for now since it’s been a while since I’ve read it, but damn, I can’t remember a thing Oakheart actually did in that book aside from squabble with his bro when Crookedstar found out he hooked up with Bluefur.
In my mind I’m just puzzled as to whether Oakheart’s a tom itching for a fight with ThunderClan, or a genuinely goodhearted cat who sees the best even in his enemies. Maybe a reread would clear that up.
Really can’t say the same about Bluestar’s Prophecy. Like... his thing with Bluefur is legitimately framed as a fling. They go on all of one kitty date. And then Bluefur’s pregnant. Yet they’re relationship is framed as something so much more, to the point they become mates again in StarClan. I don’t buy that. I don’t buy that Oakheart would offer to join ThunderClan for Bluefur’s sake, like... maybe the implication is the kits were an accident, but a happy one and now he wants to roll with it? Even if so, relationships built on accidental pregnancies tend to be quite messy and I’m doubtful this one would stand that test of time in consequence. Especially if the two are rarely talking from fear other cats will put pieces together.
Redtail next. Redtail has... multiple personalities, it seems, entirely dependent on the book and who’s writing him. Redtail’s Debt and Leopardstar’s Honor both do him so fucking dirty and it’s heart-wrenching as a... uh... Redtail stan I guess
The former portrays him as an easily manipulated buffoon, one who has good intentions but whose desire to appeal to others gets in the way of them. Granted, throughout the book he betters himself in this regard, but it begs the question of why Bluestar would choose him as her deputy to begin with. When her next two choices are Lionheart and Tigerclaw, two warriors with steadfast beliefs and strong senses of duty... Redtail seems to stray from that picture. ALSO HE FUCKIN’ KILLS OAKHEART WHAT THE HELL
Actually, going to the wiki, I’m immediately met with a quote from Bluestar about Redtail from Into the Wild:
“Redtail was a brave warrior. His loyalty to ThunderClan could never be doubted. I always relied on his judgement, for it bore witness to the needs of the Clan, and was never swayed by self-interest or pride.”
His judgment is constantly fluctuating as needed to satisfy his superiors in this book. It feels in stark contrast to Bluestar’s judge of his character here.
More on that, it bothers me tremendously that the Erins would write a Redtail novella where the focus is on making Tigerclaw a moustache twirling villain (seriously, why did anyone trust this guy), and not on the relationship between Redtail and Bluestar. The original series leaves crumbs pointing to it, but we never get a great sense of it because Redtail dead
Then in Leopardstar’s Honor he’s just.. violent. Provokes Leopardfur into a fight for no damn reason aside from to be a little shit. And GOSH I hate it.
Anyhow like. I still like both these characters. I like how empty the canvases are for who they have to be, I love that I can just project onto them and 99% of the time it doesn’t contradict canon.
I headcanon that Redtail is a bit of an unbearable prick, he’s great at getting shit done but lacks flexibility, gets fussy when cats are late to patrols and stuff like that. He’s tactically smart, but not great at warming up to others (and doesn’t see the point if the task’s getting done anyway). As a mentor, is quite bossy and quick to annoy if his apprentice is struggling to understand his instructions.
Also he probably has autism but idk
Oakheart’s extremely sly, he has an edge on Redtail in that he’s charismatic, popular within his Clan (and probably most other Clans). His people skills aren’t super refined however, and he has a tendency to push too hard when teasing. Like, maybe he picks on Redtail for his small size thinking it all in good fun, but this leads to animosity that eventually boils over and requires honest convo to resolve. Oakheart does genuinely care about people but from Redtail’s perspective, at least at first, this is all just a manipulative tactic to look good and maintain authority.
Sorry at this point while writing my brain got a bit fried. Tl;dr I like this pairing. I don’t have a great reason for it I just think they’re fun and cute and shit
Also I wanna read more fics where Oakheart doesn’t die and becomes leader I think that’d be cool

☂️ i don’t mind character shipping in the mcyt fandom as long as it isn’t actively going against a cc’s boundaries. i occasionally reblog ship art/posts, but those will be tagged with the ship name & ship tag for the fandom. i might not tag some posts if they can be interpreted as platonic or romantic, or if the op didn’t use ship tags. that being said, irl shippers/truthers aren’t welcome here. if you frequently post about ship discourse or go out of your way to harass others over ships, i will most likely block you regardless of if i agree with your opinions
-> more under the cut <-

Not Your Typical 2
Tumblr media
Genre: college AU, hurt/comfort
Pairings: romantic Demus, background Logicality, and Prinxiety
Content: autistic characters (Logan and Janus), arguments, panic attack/anxiety, ASL, talk of pretty bad ableist parenting/manipulation.
Song mentioned is Electric Love by BØRNS
Word count: 3.3k
“BABE!”
Janus’ head shot up seconds before Remus barreled into their room, clearly having run there, possibly all the way from his night class. He dropped his load of textbooks onto the floor, hopping from foot to foot.
“You have a backpack for a reason,” Janus sighed affectionately. His boyfriend shuffled the empty bag off his shoulders so it fell to the floor with his school supplies and resumed his hopping.
“Listen to this!” He held up his headphones, clearly holding himself back from just popping them on Janus’ head himself. 
“New song?”
“Just listen!”
Janus snorted but put the offered headphones on, watching as Remus restarted the music from his phone.
It began quietly, a lilting melody that was quickly underlaid with a sharp beat. He raised an eyebrow at Remus; it was catchy, but did not seem like his boyfriend’s type of music. There was a surprising lack of… screaming. Or profanity. Or yodelling . 
He had interesting taste in music. 
But Remus just bounced on his toes, nearly wiggling until an electric guitar riff made Janus jump a bit. It wasn’t necessarily a bad jump, more one of surprise, but he gave a thumbs up anyways to reassure Remus. He closed his eyes as the verse began, relaxing in his chair and shutting his brain off. 
Janus hadn’t even noticed he was tapping his hands on the arms of the chair until he peaked an eye open to see his boyfriend’s excited expression, not unlike a child on Christmas morning. 
 A bit after they’d started officially dating, Remus had accidentally discovered Janus’ once-least-favorite neurodiverse trait in himself; happy stimming. It was overly vulnerable and had gotten him teased too often when he was younger, so he had made a habit of masking the excited movement. It had only taken one date to the animal rehabilitation centre, and an hour long detour in the reptile area, for that barrier to break. But Remus had taken him for the sole reason of showing Janus the snakes, what was he supposed to do?
The first time he’d been totally natural around Remus (due to finding a green tree python, because oh my god Remus look at it!), bouncing and tucking his cheek to his shoulder and flapping his hands, his boyfriend had solemnly taken his hands, leaned far too close, and uttered something along the lines of ‘What the fuck was that and how do I make you do it again?’ Apparently he thought it was cute.
Preposterous. 
And judging by the slow rising in the song’s pitch, that was exactly what Remus was attempting to trigger. Janus could feel a smile forming against his will as the music crescendoed, and with it came a floating sensation. It felt like fire shooting up his spine, or pop rocks in his skull, an addictive rush of joy that filled his body with adrenaline, the best possible butterflies in his stomach. His hands flapped in an effort to release the energy and for now he let them, the grin now making his cheeks hurt.
All at once the beat settled back to it’s verse tempo and Janus pulled the headphones off somewhat sheepishly. 
“Hell. Yes.” Remus whispered, a matching wide smile stretching across his face. He cradled Janus’ face between his palms, as if he were something fragile, and edged forward until their noses booped, “You’re so. Goddamn. Cute.”
“Am not,” Janus forced out between his squished cheeks. It would have been much more convincing if he weren’t fighting off more happy wiggles. 
Remus snorted and pressed a peck to Janus’ lip before whirling on his heels, more or less skipping to the common area.
“Logan, I did it!” He sang grandly. He twirled around the living room with a whoop, startling a laugh out of Janus. Virgil and Roman, who must have been situated on the couch, yelled as Remus splayed across them just out of Janus’ line of vision. 
“Get off us, you oaf-”
“Jesus, Remus!”
“Oh Logaaaaan!” 
Janus leaned against the doorway of their room to watch the scene unfold. Remus finally gave in to the pushing from their roommates and rolled onto the floor with a brilliant thud and a cackle. 
“Get him off my foot!”
“He’s your brother.”
Remus snickered and promptly attached himself to Roman’s leg like a koala, digging his teeth into his shin.
“REMUS!” 
“Yeth?” He asked around his mouthful. Roman freed the leg not being eaten and, with no preamble, delivered a solid kick to his brother’s side. 
“I’ve been shot!” Remus wailed dramatically, rolling onto his back.
“I’m going to need a rabies shot!”
“I see the light-”
“Am I bleeding? Virgil, get the first aid kit!”
“Alas, the world goes dim! What an end, what an end…”
“What if they have to amputate?”
Janus’ hand could no longer muffle his laughter, and his laughing distracted Remus enough to get a dazzling smile from where he was laying half under the coffee table. The diversion seemed to remind him of why he’d come into the living room in the first place.
His face fell into a pout and he shrieked, “LOGAN!”
The door to Logan and Patton’s room flew open and the latter poked his head out with a violent shush. 
“Logan is on the phone!” 
True to his word, Logan was pacing their room behind him, stimming anxiously while he spoke into his phone in a completely neutral voice.
Virgil sat up straighter, earning a concerned look from Roman, who gave up on nursing the bite mark on his sweatpants. However, Remus was oblivious to the sudden tenseness in the air, kicking his feet onto the coffee table.
“Who is he on the phone with?” Virgil asked, slowly getting up from the couch.
Patton shut the door after a quick glance into the room. The rest of the dorm stayed silent until he’d clicked the latch into place, as if all holding their breath. Logan’s voice became just a murmur behind the wall as Patton met Virgil’s eyes nervously.
“It’s his parents,”
“WHY-” Patton shushed Virgil wildly, hands waving up a flurry. The man continued in a hushed tone but with just as much fury, “Why is he talking to his parents?”
Roman jumped up, probably to try and ease an almost-spitting Virgil but only succeeding in stepping on Remus.
“Ow!”
“Then why are you on the floor!?”
Virgil took a step toward Patton. “He hasn’t talked to them in a year-”
“I will eat your whole leg off!”
“I’d like to see you try!”
“Oh? OH!? When you wake up tomorrow with no legs, you’ll regret that!”
“Remus, just get up!”
He froze from where he’d been pushing himself up from the floor, gingerly lowering himself back down and crossing his arms. “Well, now I’m not going to.”
“Why don’t…” Janus faltered as every eye in the room settled on him, fighting his instinct to shut his mouth. They want to hear you, they want to hear you- “Why don’t we like Logan’s parents?”
Virgil and Patton answered at the same time.
“They’re assholes.”
“They’re not great p- language!”
If Janus remembered correctly, Virgil and Logan had known each other far longer than any of the others, though it wasn’t hard to surmise from Virgil’s reactions. He’d never seen him get so worked up. 
“They’re ableist, homophobic pieces of sh-”
“But!” Patton interrupted, “We probably shouldn’t say more without Logan here.”
Virgil grumbled under his breath and dropped back onto the sofa, followed by Roman, who placed an arm around his shoulders. It did nothing to placate his anger, but he did lean marginally into his boyfriend’s side.
“We don’t like them,” Remus said in a falsely bright tone as he squirmed out from where he’d been trapped. “How long does he have to talk to Tweedledee and Tweedledick?”
“Language…”
“What do they want from him?” Virgil demanded. Was it Janus’ imagination, or were his eyes shinier than they’d been a minute before?
“I don’t…” Patton glanced at the closed door, “I’m sure Logan can tell you later. I’ll tell you as soon as he’s ready to talk, okay?”
They were given one more reminder to hush, and then Patton disappeared back into their room. The group fell into silence as soon as he was gone.
Remus broke the lull with a loud knuckle crack and a, “So, American Horror Story, anyone?” 
No one complained, which Remus took as affirmation. Virgil had turned to burrow his face into Roman’s shoulder, which smartly, no one addressed. The opening credits flashed across the scene as Remus scrambled onto the loveseat, patting the spot next to him.
“Snakey, sit.”
Janus shook his hands briefly to dispel his nerves before taking the spot next to his boyfriend, leaning into his side. Every bit of contact that he initiated excited Remus to no end. He swung his arm over Janus’ shoulders and pulled him even closer and then, to Janus’ revolt, began to run his thumb lightly over his hand. 
“Yuck, no, no no no, stop,” Janus squirmed, stilling Remus’ thumb with his other hand, and nestling even further into him. 
“Oh, right. Forgot.”
“No harm done.”
They’d barely gotten through an episode of the show when the door opened behind them. Roman wasted no time shutting the TV off, and the four of them watched with rapt attention as Patton and a slightly disheveled Logan emerged. 
“I hear there was some commotion over the content of my phone call.”
“Abso-fucking-lutely!” Virgil snapped. 
“Your concern is noted but unnecessary,” Logan replied curtly, “My parents called because I was not answering their messages.”
“They’ve been messaging you?!” Virgil hissed, pulling away from Roman’s hold to stand. 
“Do they ever stop?” Logan rolled his eyes and finally released his death grip on his cell phone. He slid it into his back pocket instead. “For some reason they insist I come back home this summer.”
Him and Patton did that bizarre communicate-silently thing they did often, as Logan lifted his arm and his boyfriend attached to his side immediately. Perhaps one day, him and Remus would have that level of intuitiveness that puzzled him so. The thought made his face grow hot. A glance at Remus confirmed he hadn’t noticed, though. 
“You haven’t gone back since first year. Why now?” Roman asked. His twin hummed in agreement.
Logan turned his gaze to the floor, taking a while to answer. “I don’t understand their timing. But they are threatening to withdraw financial assistance towards my schooling if I refuse.”
The room exploded into chaos. 
“Are you fucking kidding me?!”
“That’s not fair, after all they’ve done to you-”
“Would anyone notice if they went missing?”
“Remus-”
“You can’t go back there, Lo…”
“I wasn’t planning to! But now I may not have a choice, Patton.” 
“When do you have to decide?” Roman asked, earning a glare from Virgil.
“It’s not a choice, he can’t go!”
“This is my choice, not yours, Virgil! Either way, the due date is in a week. I’ll have made my decision by then.”
Janus stiffened as the air was pulled from his lungs. “Wait, what due date?”
No one seemed to notice his question, however, as the volume in the room raised another octave. His words were lost to the level of shouting, completely invisible to everyone. He tried to pretend it didn’t hurt as much as it did. 
As easy as it would have been to just fade into the background, as per usual, the unanswered question was burrowing a hole in his chest. Janus tugged on Remus’ sleeve.
“What due date?”
Finally, Remus turned sharp eyes from the conversation to him. The slightly manic glint to them softened as soon as he saw Janus’ panicked expression, and he shifted their hands so their fingers locked. 
“S’when we gotta let the school know if you’re staying on campus for summer break. Didn’t you get the email?”
“What email?!” Janus hissed just as the arguing reached its peak. Logan had pulled himself away from (a decently distraught) Patton and was gripping his own arms with white knuckles. 
“Why do you even care?! I’m fine!” He said through grit teeth.
“You’re clearly not,” Roman retorted. Virgil had pulled up his phone and was scrolling through it with purpose, clearly trying to find something. 
“I’ll figure it out! This doesn’t have to be an event for everyone!”
“That doesn’t mean you’re-”
“Will you just drop it, Roman?!” Logan yelled, voice cracking.
Janus nearly bumped into Remus with the way he flinched. The other’s arm immediately tightened around him, a grounding pressure across his shoulders. 
“I think we’re all tired,” Patton broke the tense air with a pleading tone, “Can we come back to this tomorrow? Please?”
Logan was gone without another word, followed by Patton after a round of strained good-nights. 
---------------------------------------
As clingy a couple as they were, sleeping was a different matter. One time, one time only, they’d tried to cram onto one of their puny twin beds and that had lasted a whole half hour before they decided to never try it again. Janus needed his space if he even wanted a chance at a peaceful sleep, and Remus had the lovely habit of embodying a starfish with a caffeine problem, even when unconscious. How he fit on the tiny dorm beds by himself astounded Janus, what with how he splayed. Janus had gotten two full hits to the face before he’d leaned against the wall and pushed Remus to the floor with his feet. The man hadn’t stirred. 
The next morning Remus had suggested (without thinking) that one day they’d just get a bigger bed, and Janus had turned a bright crimson at the easy way he had discussed their future together. 
Either way, for now, they stayed in their respective beds, but at that moment, Janus was missing the distinctive feeling of being Remus’ teddy bear. His mind was a whirlpool of thoughts, or perhaps a tornado. It was a flurry any which way, one that kept his eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling he couldn’t even see in the dark. Across the small room, he could hear Remus shifting, his breath catching every time he moved, meaning he was probably still awake as well. 
“Remus?”
“Yeah, snakey?” 
Guess he was right, then. Janus rolled towards him, even though he couldn’t make out anything in the pitch black. 
“I can’t sleep.”
There was a chuckle from across the room. “Have you even tried?” It was a valid question; it hadn’t been more than five minutes since they’d turned off the lights.
“I mean, I won’t be able to sleep.” Janus sighed. He gnawed at his fingernails as louder shuffling came from Remus’ bed.
“Why not?”
There were a few things, if he was honest. 
“Does Virgil get mad like that a lot?” Not what he’d meant to lead with, but oh well. 
“Oh,” Remus replied lightly, “He wasn’t mad. He probably sounded real pissed though. He was just worried about Logan. They grew up together and all that shit, so Virgil got like a front row seat of all the shit they did to him. Taping his hands to tables so he didn’t flap ‘em, all that.”
Janus was speechless. 
“Is that all that’s buggin’ ya?”
“Not really.” 
“Spill the tea.”
In a familiar moment of self consciousness, Janus curled his knees into his chest. He wants to hear you, he wants to hear you. The blankets pooled around his waist as he sat up, hoping the position would somehow grant him more courage.
“I started thinking about… what Logan said, and now I don’t know if I want to go home or stay on campus over summer. I didn’t know that was even an option. But it would be so much easier to not have to pack up again, and I’m just getting used to it here, but what if my parents are mad, like Logan’s?”
The fairy lights that encircled their room flickered to life, revealing Remus had stretched to reach the switch from his bed. 
“I didn’t get the email and now I don’t even know if it’s possible for me to stay on campus, what if I missed a due date? It’s my fault, I should have checked every folder and now I don’t know what to do, I…” Janus’ sentence bled into a hum from the back of his throat. The swirling flotsam of thoughts thickened, a swarm of bees being swallowed by their own honey; worries still existing, but now infinitely harder to reach and express. 
“I don’t know what to do- I… I don’t, I can’t think, my brain’s too busy-” He wrapped his fists in his blanket to keep from gripping his hair. All of the sudden, he was a coiled spring and there was nothing he could do to loosen the pressure. He needed a release, he needed to move and to be held still, his chest full of helium but his arms filled with a colony of ants under his skin, every molecule separating and floating away. Janus shoved his fists into the blankets, pushing and pushing and begging for the awful pressure to disappear. 
“Hey hey hey, take a breath, snakey. I’m right here.”
The bed dipped under Remus’ weight and his first reaction was to reach out but no, no the ants were still there, in his hands, and he bent them backwards at the wrist to kill the itch. Curl curl curl, and his fists were jammed against his jaw, pressure push stop stop-
“I’m trying, I am, I just-” He cut himself off with a sob that was more of a cough, drawing in a wheezing breath. Remus must be freaking out, he could tell, and god he wanted to stop but the cycle continued, cough and breathe in and try to squish the fucking ants.
“Do you want me to get Logan? Or Patton?”
No, no, no. Janus shook his head vigorously and pushed his fists under his legs, leaning forward to force his whole weight on the limbs. Yeah, yeah that felt better, more weight, he needed more-
“Pressure,” Janus gasped, interrupting whatever Remus had been saying but finding he couldn’t care less. He removed one hand from the safety he’d found and hit the heel of it to his chest. “I need- I need pressure, weight, I can’t-” Cough. Hum.
“Weighted blanket? Is that it?” The worry in Remus’ voice was so clear it was almost embarrassing, but Janus would never admit how much he adored it; it was a level of softness no one else was privy to. 
“No-” The weighted blanket would have been his go to before, when he was alone, but it was never enough. 
Deep pressure therapy, he remembered Logan calling it. A way to regulate the nervous system when it was going nuts, something about resetting the ‘fight or flight’ reflex. He couldn’t remember the details. But he could remember Logan’s explaining different forms of it.  
“Hug?” Janus pleaded, rocking forward onto his hands once more.
“I- What…- Are you sure?”
Janus let out a broken sound. He nodded quickly, freeing a hand to circle it over his chest, palm flat, over and over. Please. Logically, he knew there was no time pressure, but there was an undeniable feeling of ‘hurry, hurry, hurry’ rushing through him. Fight or flight, maybe.
Remus opened his arms and Janus was scrambling across the gap immediately, curling sideways on his lap. The only thing he could compare it to was dumping sand on a fire as Remus’ arms wrapped around him, pulling him closer to his chest and pressing his nose into Janus’ hair. Remus swayed them back and forth like he was reading Janus’ damn mind, and he finally took a deep breath. All the stress trickled from his tense muscles bit by bit, and the younger could have cried from relief. 
Janus was quickly finding it hard to keep his eyes open as Remus kept rocking them, listening to his heartbeat and following his breathing in the rare quiet of their dorm that had come to feel like home. 
“Feeling better?” Remus whispered.
Janus tensed immediately. “Don’t let go.”
“I won’t, I promise.”
And he didn’t.

Man I was waiting to spill this out in a video essay but my life won’t allow for that atm so I think I’ll just get some thoughts out here
I think anyone who ignores the found family aspects of Talespin are missing an extremely beautiful and valuable theme within the show - and a massive reason why I like the show so much. I’m not a cop - gods, no - like, y’alls can watch and interpret shit every which way you see fit, but what I’m saying is that you’re really missing out.
The characters of Kit and Baloo are massively benefitted by this theme. Their respective arcs in Plunder & Lightning revolve around the fact that they both, at the start of the show, believed that their lives were meant to be spent in solitude. They reveled in not needing anyone but themselves. This is especially significant for Kit, who was likely abandoned, regardless, orphaned, and was planning on making a life for himself at the age of 12. I think it’s partly why (the other part being that this is an episodic TV show and arcs have to happen pretty quickly) he ends up taking to having a family so quickly, because he fucking needs one. He isn’t an adult like Baloo, and he isn’t ready to be on his own. It really sucks that a major turning point in his arc, Home Is Where The Heart Is, ended up getting cut. It was the moment where Kit finally started expressing a desire for having a family (in the comic adaptation, he even cries during this scene). Kit beginning to see H4H as his family is what makes his sacrifice for their safety so significant, and Baloo beginning to see Kit as family is what makes his stubborn, painful, return to where he was at the beginning of his arc so significant. 
And obviously it doesn’t stop there - for Baloo, especially, who ended up taking more time to warm up to Rebecca and Molly, the themes continue throughout the show. Obviously its easier for him to take to Molly because he seems to naturally like kids, but if Stormy Weather was meant to point out that Baloo is still getting used to being a father, in general, Flight of the Snow Duck was Baloo having to realize that raising an adolescent and raising a small child are two very different things (as there are aspects of Molly that are absent from Kit, largely due to age in this episode, as opposed to personality, that Baloo has to learn to recognize and respect). I feel like it’s also worth mentioning that Baloo went from not wanting Molly in his life if Kit wasn’t there, too, in P&L, to being the first one to react to her kidnapping in Molly Coddled (I’m aware it was framed that way to set up a gag, but I love the gag for this reason).
As for his relationship with Rebecca, it’s important to remember that these two being in a romantic relationship of sorts isn’t something shippers just made up (and shipping doesn’t have to be canon-compliant so don’t let any of the following stop you), it was how series creator Jymn Magon intended for their relationship to be interpreted. The reason they never blatantly get together is because they needed time to develop (and it’s just. SO fun and lovely watching their respect and care for one another blossom through snark and sass and gentle moments), and Magon didn’t want to create a pre-relationship and established-relationship series divide. And it’s this fact that leads me to believe that all of the found-family themes are intentional, not accidental or otherwise a by-product.
And, because he’s my favorite character, I really do have a lot to say about how it relates to Kit’s character arc. I wish we ended up seeing a little more of Kit confronting his complicated feelings towards family, but what is often seen as the big kicker, Stormy Weather, combined with P&L, other episodes like It Came From Beneath the Sea Duck, Save the Tiger, a brief moment in A Baloo Switcheroo, and the comic The Long Flight Home, all work together to form a really touching arc. 
Kit started out alone, tried to find a place among pirates, ditched the pirates and decided to live alone, stumbled into H4H with plans to leave someday, decided he didn’t want to leave and that these people were worth making sacrifices to protect (P&L), realized that he wanted these people to like and respect him just as much as he liked and respected them (ICFBtSD), struggled with properly recognizing Baloo and Becky as authority figures but ultimately came to terms with the fact that he would eventually have to accept it (SW), ended up expressing a strong desire to keep the family together when Baloo finally had enough money to take the Sea Duck and leave H4H (StT), and by the late series, gave Becky enough authoritative allowance to ground him (which is a big deal when one considers just how abrasive to authority figures he is) (ABS).
That’s just in the show - The Long Flight Home, while only a supplemental piece of media, is just. GODS I need to talk about how much I love this for a sec. Kit runs away from home when he thinks the man who runs the local orphanage is looking for him. There’s a beautiful panel during the running-away process where Kit comments how hard it is to pack everything because he’s never owned so many things before (Baloo and Becky out here providing for him ♡♡♡♡). Molly casually throws everything out of his luggage and stows away behind his back because of course she does. Throughout the entire comic she insists that Kit is her brother, and even introduces herself as his sister, even though Kit is currently struggling to acknowledge H4H as his family (he’s trying to run away from them, after all. It would only hurt more to consider them family at a time like that. I say this because there’s a panel where they essentially show this thought process happening). She stows away because she doesn’t want him to leave, and does everything she can to make sure that, when he backtracks to return her to H4H, that he stays with her. She’s just. She’s so beautifully stubborn in this comic (in the entire series, tbh, but I just love it so much, here). There’s an acknowledgement that even though Kit had adults in his life that he was fond of, there was no one actually taking care of him or acting as a family with him until he found H4H. In the climax of the story Kit refers to H4H as his home while he’s hugging Molly close to him. Emaculate.
I think what I’m getting at is that Kit’s arc is that of an orphan boy who was convinced he was going to spend his life alone and never need anyone but himself, suddenly finding out that he not only needs but actually wants a family, and that, in fact, he’s decently family-oriented at that. It’s such a beautiful thing to me and a major reason why I love the character so much.
So yeah like. Ofc you can choose to ignore all this and interpret this show however the fuck you want, but Boy Howdy are you missing one lovely fucker of a side to this show if you choose not to see H4H as a found family.

A Pirate’s Life For Me
@rip-in-pieces-my-last-braincell It took me a day and a bit but I DID IT! 2.145 words, I hope you like it!
Just so you know, it has been ages since I’ve watched the movies, and this is not an official version, I just wanted to use as many characters as possible. The only characters that are mean to be in place are Kit, Della and Wildcat.
-
At some point of their long travel, even Della’s endless energy had come to an end. Donald felt relief for that at first, enjoying the rare peace and quiet in his life. However, as time passed by, the minutes being dragged at the same pace their ship calmly, quietly sailed through the fog, Donald almost wished his sister would still be running and climbing and screaming around.
The small twins were sitting side by side on a crate, eyes on the fog and ocean ahead without really paying attention to it. Donald didn’t know why or exactly when, but Della suddenly broke the silence by humming a not so unfamiliar melody. His fingers moved almost like an involuntary reflex and before the boy noticed, he was carefully playing the melody on his guitar. That was the moment Della chose to turn her humming into words.
“Drink up, me harties, yo-ho. Yo-ho, yo-ho... A pirate’s life for me. We extort, we pilfer, we filch, we sack, drink up-”
Della’s voice and Donald’s fingers where abruptly stopped when each twin had an adult hand grabbing their shoulders.
“Hush now, kids,” said the adult, in a tone of warning and looking around in agitation. “Real pirates travel in these waters, and the legends say that singing their songs is basically calling for them.”
“Wildcat!” shouted the voice with a tick Scottish accent that the kids knew very well. Their Uncle Scrooge didn’t look pleased as he approached them with his cane. “Ah would appreciate it if ye could not fill ma nephew and niece’s heads with untrue legends of the sea.”
“But they are true, Mr. McDee,” Wildcat insisted. “It’s bad luck to sing about pirates, everyone knows that.”
Donald gulped at these words, dropping his guitar at once; as if he needed more bad luck. Della, by other hand, didn’t look frightened in the slightest as the talk continued, captain Baloo breaking in to add his two cents.
“Wildcat’s not lying, Mr. McDuck, it’s common knowledge between us mans of the sea. And specially with us in the middle of this weird fog, I dunno ya but I’m not here to take risks.”
“Bah, fine,” Scrooge dismissed the topic with a hand. “If ye two are so bothered, they will stop singing.”
For Donald, his uncle didn’t need to say twice, looking forward for when the adults decided to change topics.
But Della didn’t seem ready to let go of this talk yet, “I think it’d be exciting to meet a real pirate,” she declared with her usual, innocent cheer.
Scrooge chuckled humorless, “Think again, lass.” He narrowed his eyes at the fog, as if daring the pirates who could be hiding behind it.
“Vile and dissolute creatures, all of them. Stealing without a care from those who earned their belongs fair and square.” Scrooge felt very much like spitting on the floor, but that was a habit from his old life and not a proper reaction from a governor. “If ye ask me, any person who dares to answer by the name pirate deserves the same fate: A short drop and a sudden stop.”
While Donald’s confused eyes didn’t move from their uncle’s face, Della turned her head to Baloo in search for answers. The captain hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he dropped a hand from the rudder, using it to grab the kerchief around his neck. By the way he stretched the tissue, dropping his head and letting his tongue roll off his mouth, Della quickly caught the message.
With a now frightened gasp, the girl snapped her head back forward, her wide eyes staring at the ship’s floor.
It was her reaction that made Scrooge notice his wee niblings’ faces to his last commentary. He then dropped his vexed expression for a concerned one. Oh marvelous, Hortense was going to kill him.
“Erh, but enough of pirate talks, aye? Ye kids enjoy the rest of the trip, with no singing,” he added before walking away to another part of the ship.
The twins just exchanged a look between each other, as if asking “what now?”. After a moment with no answer, Donald simply decided to jump off the crate and walk towards Baloo. Donald loved ships, boats, and the sea itself, and he was always eager to learn more about them, so it wasn’t hard for Della to imagine her brother’s plans.
Because of that, she stayed behind, looking around for something that would be of her interest. She found it when her eyes once again fell over the nets that leaded to the crow’s nest. Della had climbed it not even two hours ago, but the current boredom and the memory of the way she felt being up there were enough to make up her mind.
Della was lucky. Her parents were less strict than her friends’ about how a young lady should behave (although dresses and good manners were still a must) and her uncle didn’t give a feather if his ten-year-old niece acted boyish during their expeditions. That was how the girl got so good on activities like climbing.
Firmly grabbing the ropes, Della climbed up every step with patience, but no hesitation until she hit the middle of the net. There, she stopped. Dropping her right hand from the net, Della turned around on a complete 180°. She was facing the ocean now.
The fog turned the view way less appealing than it was a couple hours ago, but the duckling didn’t really mind. Just being up there, with wind in her hair, felling so free that it was almost like she could fly, was everything the young girl could wish for.
Della closed her eyes to breathe in deeply. But when she opened them again, her smile was quickly dropped when something through the fog caught her attention.
There was something on the water, floating.
Della needed to narrow her eyes to recognize a large wooden board. And laid on it, there was…
“A boy!” she exclaimed, starting to climb down the fastest she could, while still shouting. “Uncle Scrooge!! Baloo, Wildcat, look!”
The three men rushed to her, Scrooge grabbing her shoulders and checking his niece up and down after any wound in the instant Della was back on the ground.
“Lass, what’s the meaning-”
“A boy!” Della didn’t wait her uncle to finish, this time pointing a finger to where the floating board was. “Look, there’s a boy on the water!”
In the meantime that it took Della to climb down, the board had floated to even closer to the ship. Which allowed the three men to easily catch sight of the young, unconscious, brown-furred bear on it. Baloo’s eyes went wide, and he shouted,
“MAN OVERBOARD!”
Five more men from the crew came running to help, and with all of them working fast and together, it was a matter of seconds before the boy was out of the water and in Baloo’s arms. Della could just watch all the commotion from some steps behind, trying to get a better look, but the men were too tall and crowded to allow her any sight. She was able, however, to hear when Baloo declared,
“He’s still breathing.”
“For all the seven seas!” Della almost yelped at that sudden scream. When had Donald stopped by her side??
Nonetheless, her brother was looking even more frightened. Turning around and following his gaze, the girl could easily see why: hundreds of different types of merch floating on the water, them all coming from a ship, not so different from the one they were, crashing and burning in the middle of the ocean.
Scrooge, Baloo and Wildcat rushed to approach them and see it too, every man around trying to understand what could’ve happened there. Baloo wanted to believe in the easiest option, that merchant ships carry a lot of weaponry and somehow, accidentally, the powder was lit. But a tiny, distant voice in his mind wouldn’t let another, more scary option rest.
“P-p-pirates?” Donald gulped.
“Ah donnae know, lad, but we better be prepared for everything. Captain!” Scrooge started to command, and quickly everyone on the boat had a new role to play. Except for the little ones. “Donald, I want you to stay with me. Della-”
Scrooge cut himself off when he saw his niece wasn’t standing by her brother’s side anymore. Luckily, he just needed a quick look around to find the white duckling in a gray dress. It shouldn’t have surprised him that she was standing near their new crewmember. Scrooge walked to them, arriving just as a sailor took the boy from the ground, to take him away from the ship’s side edge.
“Della,” he called again, this time getting her attention. “I want you to accompany the boy. He will be in your charge. Take care of him.”
“Yes, Uncle Scrooge,” Della nodded, before following the sailor.
The brown cub was put to rest over the same crate the Duck twins had been sitting just some minutes ago. As she approached, Della knew she had a better chance to observe the boy now. He looked her age, maybe older for one or two years, if that much. His worn, patched up green sweater was completely soaked, and so was his fur, causing some of hair to fall over his eyes.
Gingerly as her housekeeper had taught her, Della touched his locks, gently moving them away. But no matter how gently, that disturbance alone was enough to wake the boy up with a chocked scream, grabbing her wrist with a shaking, yet strong hand.
Della sighed, trying to calm down her heart from the scare, before meeting his eyes. Petrified browns against calming light blues.
“It’s okay, I’m not going to hurt you. You’re safe now,” she guaranteed. “My name’s Della. Della Duck.”
“Kit,” he sounded breathless, scared, and tired. “Kit Cloudkicker.”
At that new piece of information, Della smiled.
“I’ll be watching over you, Kit.”
It’s like that was all the boy needed to hear, his grasp on her wrist loosening as his body fell unconscious once again.
Della kept her promise and stayed by his side, glad that now Kit looked more asleep than dead. It was while watching him that she noticed something loose around his neck. Touching it, Della easily recognized a red kerchief. Chances were high that it was just a piece of tissue, a cheap, meaningless adornment… But what if it was something his parents gave him? A memory of his family who, if traveling on that now burning ship, were probably no long in this world?
Biting her cheek, Della carefully took the kerchief within her hands, planning to keep it safe, maybe even wash it, before giving it back to Kit when he woke up-
Any thought was frozen, her heart leaping in surprise when she saw the drawing printed on Kit’s kerchief. She had never seen it before herself, but by the stories, Della knew exactly what the drawing of the white skull meant.
“You’re a… pirate?”
“Vile and dissolute creatures, all of them,” Uncle Scrooge’s words echoed in her head, alongside everything Della had heard about the bandits of the sea. But as she looked up to the boy again, she couldn’t see it. Kit didn’t look vile; he didn’t sound vile. He was just a kid, like her and Donald.
“Did he say anything?”
Della jumped, quickly crumpling the tissue in her hand, and hiding it behind her back as she turned around to face Baloo. He was accompanied by some other men of the crew, and not so distantly, the girl could see her uncle as well. Before she could even notice there was a choice to be made, Della was already executing her decision.
“His name’s Kit Cloudkicker. That’s all I found out.”
Baloo simply nodded, not looking suspicious of anything. After the last events, it was normal that such a young girl would be a little jumpy.
“We’re gonna take him bellow, alright missy? Our doctor can treat him better there.” The captain explained.
It was Della’s turn to nod, stepping behind so Baloo could take Kit in his arms again. The girl watched as they left, knowing she should be following them, but first and foremost, she needed a better place than her closed fist to hide that kerchief.
Confirming there was no one around her, Della opened her hand and the tissue again. Her eyes meticulously scanning the red fabric as her fingers caressed the skull figure.
At this point, this day was clearly one to be remembered by Della. But when she raised her head to catch sight of another ship on the distance, the same skull figure flapping on a black flag at the mast… Those few seconds were marked in her memory like a burn.

I hope it's ok that I request two different scenarios? If not, you can choose which of the 2 you want to do. The first one I've been thinking of all week, it's the headcanon of lotor and zarkon fighting over the same girl. What if that girl was bisexual and she finds the lonely haggar and chooses her instead of lotor or zarkon and they hit it off? The second is reader x pregnant! Narti.
P. S. Narti is my favorite so I might ask for something related to her every weekend. I feel like she's not getting enough love.
I'm going with the second one since Narti doesn't get enough love. I don't mind if you ask for something for her every weekend, I'm always willing to write a little more for the characters that no one else writes for 😄. I hope you enjoy
_________________________________________
Not only was it completely unexpected but Narti thought that it was impossible; it shouldn't have been possible at all and yet it somehow happened anyway. After about two weeks of feeling sore, fatigued and getting sick early every morning Narti decided to go see the local doctor since (Y/n) was out hunting. The doctor did a few scans and as it turned out, Narti was pregnant; not quite like a mammalian galra, but she had an egg forming inside of her and according to the doctor this one had a baby inside of it, unlike the small infertile ones she occasionally passed no thanks to her strange anatomy. The doctor gave Narti a copy of the ultrasound scan, which meant (Y/n) was going to need to know that they were going to be parents. Being a hybrid Narti should have been completely sterile, it was only natural, but sometime during her most recent heat cycle and (Y/n's) rut they somehow managed to conceive.
Narti never thought that she could have children without the help of fertility treatment, although after finding out that she was going to have a baby Narti couldn't help but feel excited. The gender of her and (Y/n's) kit would be unknown until after she laid her egg and said egg hatched, so until then she would focus on telling her husband the good news. On the way home Narti started to feel anxious; she and (Y/n) never discussed having kids together because they never thought it would be possible, she began to fear that he would be angry with her because of how much responsibility it was to take care of a baby. She briefly wondered if she should go away until her egg hatched so she could find a new home for him or her, but she felt a connection to her unborn kit and she refused to give him or her up for adoption. When Narti got home she found (Y/n) in the living room with Kova's help; she'd taken him with her as usual, so she hid the picture from her ultrasound behind her back.
"I was wondering what happened to you, is something wrong?" (Y/n) asked his mate with curiosity, noticing her rigid body language; she stunk of fear which made him concerned about his wife, he hoped that something bad didn't happen while she was out.
Narti hesitantly walked over to the couch and sat down next to her lover, still holding the picture behind her as much as possible so that he wouldn't see it. She was scared that (Y/n) would reject her and their unborn baby, even though galran men weren't known to abandon their mates in any situation, least of all pregnancy. For the past couple of weeks (Y/n) noticed a change in his wife's behavior and pheromones, there was something different about her and he felt bad for not being able to pinpoint what was going on with her. Narti seemed almost afraid of him which made him feel even more concerned, he hadn't done anything to her and he briefly wondered if he accidentally said something that hurt her feelings. They just sat there in complete silence for a while, neither of them knowing what to say or do; Narti wanted to show her husband the picture, but she was too scared.
"Where's the photo from?" (Y/n) softly asked her after a few minutes, noticing that she flinched slightly when he mentioned the medium sized object she held behind her.
Narti sighed heavily before nervously handing the photo to (Y/n), feeling her heart pounding within her chest; it was then or never, he deserved to know about the life they unexpectedly created together. Kova quietly purred, nuzzling his head against her's as a way to comfort the young half galran woman, he could sense that his favorite person was scared and he wanted to comfort her as much as he could. (Y/n) took the photo and turned it over, seeing that it was something similar to an x-ray, only it wasn't anything like he'd seen before during his life. It took him a few moments to realize that Narti was pregnant, or rather she had an egg forming and inside that egg held a baby. Narti lowered her head and started breathing heavily, nearly having a full on anxiety attack while she waited for her husband's response; Kova helped her calm down a little, unfortunately she was too scared to calm down and not panic.
"You're pregnant? I mean- one of your eggs has a kit inside of it?" (Y/n) asked his wife in disbelief, a big smile making its way onto his face; he never thought that he would father children, although now that he knew about the little addition to their family he couldn't have been happier.
Narti flinched again, scooting away from (Y/n) a little as her heart beat faster, she was beginning to shake in fear, deathly afraid of what (Y/n) was going to do. However, when he reacted in a positive way she glanced up at him with the help of Kova, her fear turning into shyness when she saw him beaming at her. (Y/n) began purring deeply when he scooted towards his mate and loosely wrapped his arms around her, feeling excited that he basically got Narti pregnant and they were going to have a kit of their very own. There were so many thoughts running through his mind; he could care less if they were having a son or a daughter, although he couldn't wait to see what he or she looked like and he could hardly wait to carry him or her around in a baby sling when Narti needed a break. Narti relaxed in her lover's embrace, letting out a silent sigh of relief since she knew he wasn't upset.
"Narti, don't be afraid. I'm happy; you're pregnant with my- our child. It's one of the biggest honors, I love you and I love our kit. I promise to take care of both of you and provide everything you and our child needs." (Y/n) spoke in a hushed tone, delicately hugging her against his body whilst purring loudly.
Narti was both shocked and happy that (Y/n) was ecstatic about her being pregnant, it would only be a couple of weeks until she laid her egg and then a couple more before it hatched. She was no longer shaking in fear like only a few moments prior, but as a result of her crying because of how happy she felt. Narti never expected her loving mate to be so happy about having kits with her since it was an extremely rare occurrence for someone who wasn't fully galra to be able to procreate; it was truly a miracle, one that they would cherish forever. (Y/n) just sat there, purring, nuzzling and kissing his beautiful wife who was carrying their first child, although the whole egg thing was still kind of strange to him. When it came time for Narti to keep her egg warm he would take care of her and even take her place if she needed to get out of bed for a while so she could take a break from time to time, until then he would start taking over the housework and make a more comfortable blanket nest on their bed for them.

you’re my number one *:・゚✧
characters: Mario/Luigi
summary: Mario has a day off and spends it with his beloved brother, who makes a shocking discovery
its been quite some time since the older one of the Mario bros had a day off. there was always something the plumber needed to be ready for.
princess peach getting kidnapped? the Toads being threatened by Goombas? Bowser being up to his usual shenanigans? you never know!
but today, he was finally free to kick back and spend some quality time with his beloved brother Luigi.
speaking of, he was just heading for the living room, but got involuntarily slobbered on by polterpup on his way there. he chuckled and pet the loyal pup before heading to join his brother on the couch.
“so uh..“ he began “finally a day off, huh?“
Mario chuckled and stretched his arms. “yes! the kingdom is safe and I can-“ he interrupted himself with a pained yipe “mama mia!!“ and quickly lowered his arms again.
“ma-ma-ma-mario?! whats wrong?!“ luigi asked, full of concern. but his older bro shook his head “nothing! nothing! I´m fine!“ polterpup whined and jumped up onto the couch, right next to the hurt plumber. meanwhile luigi began to look more and more worried about his brother. which was something Mario just couldn't bear to see for too long “okay okay!“ mario said eventually. “I may have been hit a bit too hard when I went to save the princess the other day“ he said, trying to make it sound like just a bit of an inconvienience.
“but It´s fine! nothing I havent gone through before! I will be up going on another adventure in no time!“ but just as he was trying to strike a heroic pose for his bro to underline his confidence, the pain struck through his body yet again “ouwowowowouch!!!“ he whined out of pain and habit.
that was it! luigi has heard enough!
“you should go to bed!“ he told his bro. “or take a hot bath or whatever! just anything to help you get well!“
but mario protested “luigi! I don´t need to rest! I am fine! really!“ he said. polterpup whined and poked his nose into mario´s side, making him cry out in pain a third time and making his argument void.
Luigi took mario´s arm and carefully pulled him up to his feet. “you need rest, bro!“ he said. polterpup barked in agreement and followed the two brothers to their bedroom.
---
“come on!“ “no!“
mario and luigi were sitting on the bed, the latter holding a first aid kit and the former pouting like a child.
“come on, brother!“ luigi said. “you need to let me see your injuries so I can treat them!“
mario tried to keep insisting that everything was perfectly fine, but he eventually gave up and sighed in defeat. “okay, okay” he said reluctantly and opened the buttons of his overalls. however, taking off his shirt was more of a struggle. he attempted it, but when he lifted his arms, the pain struck once more, making him stop.
luigi frowned in worry. “you must be really badly hurt.“ he said. “that´s nothing!“ mario insisted and tried again, biting down hard on his lip as he slipped out of the shirt and tossed it aside. “th-there! no problem!“ he said, clearly in a lot of pain.
luigi gasped in shock at what he saw. “M-M-MARIO!!” he shouted. “how could you keep this from me??”
the chubby plumber´s body was covered in painful looking bruises and marks.
this was definitely more than just being ´hit a bit too hard´.
there was a large blue and red mark covering nearly his whole left side and many smaller ones all over the place, along with various scratches and a quite nasty looking scar going from over his chest to his right side.
it looked like bowser threw him around the room like a bouncy ball and then gave him to a chain-chomp as a chew toy.
“how did this happen??“ luigi asked in terror, while mario tried his best to calm him down. “like I said! adventure! the-the princess!! she needed saving!!“ “you can´t safe the princess if you get turned into a pile of mushroom mash first!!“
mario pouted, but knew his bro was right.
luigi opened the first aid kit, but didnt even know what to focus on first. the scar looked pretty bad..but the bruise did too!
he aplied some medicine to a cotton ball and sheepishly looked away. “this might burn a bit” he said and before mario could even say “huh?” he went to work disinfecting the scar.
the pudgy plumber yiped in pain, but quickly pressed a hand to his mouth to silence himself “I know, I know!“ luigi said. “I´m sorry! I´m almost done!“ luigi was entirely focused on treating the nasty wound, so he didnt notice polterpup sneaking around the room, taking steps that were lighter than air. the little doggie eventually walked up to the bed, as he wanted to see what was keeping the two busy for so long.
he gave a small bark.
which ended up spooking luigi so much that he threw himself forward into mario’s arms out of fear.
the poor man was trembling horribly, expecting a ghost or chain chomp attack out of nowhere, but once he finally opened his eyes, he was just greeted by polterpup’s innocent little face as he rolled around, barked some more and then vanished through the wall.
“phew..“ luigi was relieved that there was no danger around, however, now he found himself in a whole different situation.
“oh..OH!!“ luigi quickly backed away from his half naked brother, his entire face bright pink from embarrasment. he chuckled nervously and looked away. “I-I’m so sorry mario!“ he said. “I was just- I didn’t mean to- I thought-“ but whatever he was about to say got replaced by another worry. “I didn’t hurt you, did I?“
mario, still a bit confused by how quickly all of that transpired, shook his head. “n-no, I’m fine“ he said. “how about you? are you alright?“ luigi nodded shyly. “y-y-yes!“ he said. “p-polterpup just surprised me, that’s all..“
he took the bandages from the first aid kit, but as he continued treating mario’s wounds, he couldn’t seem to concentrate..or look up at him for that matter.
he began to focus on small details, like how often his fingers brushed against his brother’s bare skin..or how much his hands were shaking..and how uncomfortably hot his face felt..
was this weird? was he being weird?
all luigi wanted was to treat his brother’s battle wounds, but all of a sudden he felt like he’s crossing a line..
was Mario even taking any note of that? was the anxious plumber just overthinking the situation and making a big deal out of nothing?
all those thoughts tore at poor Luigi and it didnt take long until he suddenly dropped the roll of bandages.
“oh! I-I’m sorry, I’m just a bit distracted..“ Luigi said with a nervous laugh and picked the bandages back up. “distracted by what?“ as Luigi looked up at Mario, he saw such a gentle little smile on the other’s face that it made Luigi smile as well, despite all these conflicting thoughts occupying his mind. “n-nothing“ he said with a chuckle. “just..the usual.“ he shrugged.
he continued his work, taking deep breaths and trying to stop worrying about all this.
which was extremely hard as he felt his brother's eyes on him the whole time.
once he was finally done treating each and every one of Mario's wounds, he smiled proudly and handed his brother his shirt. "okie dokie, all done!" he said with a smile.
"thank you so much, bro!" Mario said happily and put the shirt back on with a bit of a struggle.
he then pulled Luigi into a big hug, leaving the tall plumber with even more conflicting feelings as he looked away ashamedly. "y-you're welcome.." he said. "okay, luigi. what's wrong?" Mario asked, both fists on his hips in a somewhat scolding manner.
"n-nothing!" Luigi insisted, but his brother didn't let him off the hook that easily. "you're acting strange! luigi, I am your brother, if there is something going on with you, you can tell me!"
at that, Mario's stern look got a lot more gentle, almost pleading. which in turn, made Luigi feel a whole lot more guilty than he did already.
"I-I.." he was about to spill the pasta sauce, but he just couldn't talk about it. "I can't tell you this, Mario..I'm sorry.." he looked away. he simply couldn't see that worried and hurt look in his beloved brother's face anymore.
but as much as it pained him to be so secretive to his brother, someone he´s known his whole life and who he knew wouldn´t be upset with luigi even if he did tell him..
..probably..
..maybe..
..hopefully...
no. no no no!
he couldn't tell him about all those things that are on his mind right now. it was too big of a risk!
Luigi swallowed hard in his throat and stood up to leave. "w-well, you need rest, so I better-"
but then, unbeknownst to Luigi, polterpup came jumping through the wall right behind him, accidentally bumping into him and making him stumble, trip and fall. but this time, he would have fallen flat on his face, if it wasn't for the hero of the mushroom kingdom jumping up from the bed to quickly catch him.
so there he was again. in his brother's arms once more. this time he was not half naked, granted, but luigi's face was flushing up nonetheless.
"are you okay, little brother?" Mario asked, a bright smile on his face as he held his brother in his arms as if he was lighter than a feather. Luigi found himself entranced and couldn't help but be amazed by Mario's strengh. after all, Luigi had just finished patching up his wounds and here he was lifting him up like it's nothing.
Guess a true hero never rests, huh?
that thought made Luigi smile. it made all so much sense now..
thinking back, Luigi would always make sure to stay as close to his broter as possible. because he felt safe by his side, more confident and as if he could take on the whole world with his brother.
he admired him..
he loved him..
..maybe..more than he initially thought..
Mario may have over time become the hero of the mushroom kingdom, but to Luigi, he was always a hero..his hero..
and in his dazed and awestruck state of mind, Luigi did something truly outrageous.
he grabbed Mario by the collar of his shirt and went for a kiss right on his brother's lips. it lasted quite a while actually, before Luigi's mind caught up with what on earth he was doing that is.
the realisation came like a speeding bullet bill and his entire body jerked in shock, making him slip out of Mario's arms.
interestingly enough, that seemed to concern Mario much more than what happened prior.
"Luigi!!" he called out and helped him back to his feet. "are you hurt? I didn't mean to let you fall!"
"ma-ma-ma-mario!! I-I can explain!!" Luigi cried immediately, already backing away as there was nothing he would rather do in this moment than to flee.
"I was just-!! I wasnt trying to-!!"
"Luigi!"
"it won't ever, ever happen again, mario! I'm so so sorry!!"
"Luigi!!"
"I can't believe I did that!! you must be furious!! you must hate me!! you-"
but luigi got cut off by a rather soft pair of lips pressing against his and he could feel all of his anxious thoughts melt away as he was pulled into a hug on top of that.
it felt so warm and comforting..
as it ended, there was only one question left on Luigi's mind.
"does..does that mean..you..?"
his face got red and he was glad that he didn't need to finish that question, as Mario was already nodding.
"y-you.." Luigi gulped as he could feel himself nearly tearing up. "you're the best~" he said happily.
Mario nuzzled his cheek, chuckling. "you're the best~" he said.

so general rewrites for the plots under the cut
prophecies begin:
more emphasis on the relationship between firepaw and ALL the other apprentices.
tigerclaw conspires more with shadowclan. for example, he let clawface take the kits in exchange for killing ravenpaw, but he accidentally kills spottedleaf instead.
less unnecessary kit death???? kits were treated more like plot points. so even if theyre doomed to be background characters, lynxkit and tulipkit are surviving
thunderclan is purposefully the smallest clan (besides windclan, which was larger before being driven out)
p much the events are similar. i enjoy the prophecies begin
the new prophecy
also similar events
more emphasis on all the journey cats.. more squirrelcrow content
ACTUALLY onewhisker wasn’t promoted deputy by tallstar. onewhisker and firestar were watching tallstar die, and onewhisker convinces firestar to lie about tallstar changing the deputy. firestar, seeing how violent mudclaw is and how friendly he thinks onewhisker is, relucantly agrees
hawkfrost’s motivation of really wanting to impress tigerstar is more emphasized
hawkfrost is actually deputy of riverclan until killed by brambleclaw. THEN mistyfoot is made deputy
power of three
oh you know
omen of the stars
oh boy this arc is a fuckign mess
fourth cat is actually cherryflight (hollyleaf) so they must go into the tunnels to find her. firestar being the fourth cat is so dumb bro
firestar and brambleclaw both die in the great battle. so does onestar
brightheart is elected to be leader with squirrelflight as her deputy
crowfeather, nightcloud, and breezepelt move to thunderclan
a vision of shadows
oh boy the arc i havent read is the one im changing the most
darktail (prolly to be renamed) comes to windclan, revealing himself to be onestar’s son. he says he is there to reclaim his “birth right” as windclan leader now that his father is dead
ashstar (ashfoot) is driven out, darktail takes over windclan and shadowclan
cats like sleekwhisker, who believe they have been wronged, find solace in darktail’s group where they can belong
it’s kinda like a cat cult
sol is actually tree’s father oops
after darktail is killed, sleekwhisker is the big bad of the rest of the plot
the broken code
this will be short bc the arc isn’t over yet but basically the imposter possess crowfeather instead bc bramblestar doesn’t exist

[Fanfic] A New Friend in Need [101 Dalmatian Street x Fan and Whizzer]
genre: slice of life, crossover, oneshot
age rating: all ages
content warnings: depiction of anxiety/panic attacks
summary: A nervous American student on a class trip to London suffers a panic attack after a humiliating incident. Luckily, he happens to cross paths with a certain zenlike dalmatian puppy.
notes: a crossover between 101 Dalmatian Street and @doglover502​‘s Fan and Whizzer characters. :D
Tumblr media
"...C'mon, man. I need you to breathe, okay?"
Two American students hid out behind a tree in the middle of Camden Park.
One of them, a shorter student with long red hair, held an inhaler up to the mouth of a taller male student with glasses and acne who was wearing baggy clothes and a floppy peruvian hat.
"Whizz, c'mon," the red-haired kid insisted as they puffed the medicine from the inhaler into their friend's mouth. "I know you're still shaken, but you gotta take your cat allergy meds, okay?"
Whizzer held his breath for a moment, then puffed it out and resumed with his hyperventilating.
"I-I'm sorry, Fan," he stammered, still not completely with it. "I j-just..."
"I know, I know..." Fan gently cut him off.
Whizzer had indeed been through a lot in the short span of the previous five minutes. It was the first day of their class field trip to London, and upon entering Camden park, the lad was instantly hurled into one of his regular cosmic conga lines of disaster.
It started when his cat allergies were set off by a stray cat strolling through the park. The resulting sneezing fit caused him to accidentally step onto an abandonned skateboard, which sent him careening through the park and through a flock of molting pigeons. The skateboard then hit into a rock, sending him flying over the park fountain and head-first into a tree. The impact caused a wasp's nest to fall onto his head resulting in this poor hapless teen being stung repeatedly before finally managing to pull the thing off his head.
The whole traumatic experience left Whizz in a state of complete panic that he just couldn't seem to bring himself out of. He was shaking, could barely talk, and was struggling to keep his breathing under control.
His eyes were wet. His palms were wet. His pants...also wet. An unfortunate, but common, nervous reaction of his. Hence his nickname.
"Hey. It's okay, buddy," Fan assured him as they checked his condition. "It's all over with now. We should probably take care of those wasp stings, though. You've got your first aid kit in your bag, right? Is it cool if I dig it out?"
Whizz nodded, still sobbing.
"Alright," Fan replied. "You just...try to relax, okay?"
The red-haired kid zipped open Whizz's backpack and began searching for the first aid kit.
The sounds of hundreds of paws pattering and puppies yapping began to rise from a distance behind the two kids.
They both looked in the direction of the clamor to find a large stampede of dalmatian puppies entering the park. They instantly made their way towards Fan, playfully pouncing and inspecting this newcomer to the park.
“H-Hey!” Fan chuckled as they squirmed underneath a pile of curious pups. “Cut it out! Ahaha! Whizz, look! Puppies! This should cheer you up, right?”
But it didn't. Whizz just sat there, still trembling from his panic attack, as he watched his friend being consumed by a large pile of friendly puppies.
One pup, however, stopped and turned around, staring in his direction.
Whizz jumped a bit as the pup slowly approached him. The puppy had a split-toned fur pattern, a friendly, timid-looking face, and a blue and red yin-yang patterned collar.
The pup smiled and seemed to bow in respect to Whizz.
“Namaste, human,” the pup gently greeted. “My name is Deepak. Forgive me for prying, but I notice you seem to be in distress, and I would like to--”
“Wuff. Wuffwuffwuff. Wuff wuff. Wuff. Wuff.” This was all Whizz was able to hear come out of the tiny pup's mouth; the sounds of gentle, friendly woofing.
“H...Hello, p-puppy,” Whizz nervously smiled as he waved at the little spotted doggy.
Deepak quickly caught on. Dog wasn't one of this human's second languages. He would have to find some other way to communicate.
He gently sat himself down in a yogic lotus position in front of the human, and took in a deep breath.
“Heh...” Whizz chuckled a bit. “It...It kinda looks like you're meditating...”
Deepak opened his eyes and nodded. He then gestured a paw at the human.
Whizz looked confused for a moment, but then seemed to pick up on what the puppy was trying to communicate.
“O-Oh! You...You want me to...?”
Whizz shifted his legs into a cross-legged position mirroring Deepak's and began trying to steady his breathing.
Deepak then leapt with catlike agility up onto Whizz's shoulder and onto the top of his head.
“H-huh!?” Whizz exclaimed in surprise.
Deepak closed his eyes and gently rubbed the sides of Whizz's head, making a gentle droning whine.
“What...a-are you...do...ing...?”
Whizz's voice trailed off as he felt a strange, calming sensation overcome him. It seemed to flow down from his head and through his entire body.
All the panicked noise in his head seemed to fade into serene silence. He stared out blissfully with half-lidded eyes into the landscape of the park. Everything around him looked more vivid and beautiful.
Whizz was certain he'd never felt this relaxed before in his life. Now that his mind was calm, he was able to take his mind off his previous suffering and put himself in the moment.
Meanwhile, Fan had finally managed to shake themself out of the puppy pile.
“Ahaha! Okay, guys,” they chuckled. “I really gotta help Whizz ou--”
Fan's thoughts were cut off by the sight of their friend, serenely meditating as Deepak continued to gently massage his head.
“Heh,” Fan remarked with a smile. “Told ya these pups would help cheer you up.”
Fan took a seat beside their friend and pet some more pups, while Whizz and Deepak continued relaxing together.

Heeyyyyyy, I hope this isn't a bother, but do you have any fic recommendations for a Tails centric story, preferably with no romance??
Not a bother at all!! I love giving fic recs, especially for Sonic fics! I read a Lot of them after all :p
I’m not sure how helpful I can be, though, since most of the fics I have saved are Sonic-centric in some way, shape, or form? (since Sonic is my personal fave character). HOWEVER I do have a couple here that focus on Tails’ friendships with other characters, mostly his brotherly relationship with Sonic, if that appeals!
Starting with the longer ones...
Rising Star by JudasFm (130k) - A fandom classic! If you haven’t read it yet, you ABSOLUTELY should. It’s a novelization of Sonic 2 that shows Sonic and Tails meeting each other and defeating Robotnik together for the first time. Tails as a very precocious 4-year-old is just adorable and totally worth the price of admission alone, but paired with a younger and much grumpier Sonic with his own problems on his plate suddenly thrust into taking care of a fox kit who has no sense of self preservation?  *chef’s kiss* Also it has an unfinished sequel that’s pretty good too!
Born For This by Cytisus (95k) - Also a Sonic 2 adaptation, but I personally like it more than Rising Star, even if it’s much less well-known. Same deal, Sonic meets Tails and they go on an ADVENTURE accidentally becoming family along the way, but it manages to craft an incredible, character-driven story of its own on top of that framework that keeps you riveted to your seat the entire time! Not only is it probably the best novelization of a video game I’ve seen just from a technical standpoint (it really feels like it was made to be a written story!), but Tails’ characterization in particular is just astounding, hitting that precise sweet spot between "competent, ultra smart badass" and "precocious but scared, emotionally hurt little kid who just wants to be loved" that I just can't get enough of. A must-read if you like character-focused adventure (and found family)!
Aaaaand with those out of the way, here are some shorter oneshot-type deals!
The Sky Is Angry by Speedy1236 (3k) - A missing scene from Sonic Heroes where Knuckles learns about Tails’ fear of thunder and has a talk with him about it. Very cute fluff with great characterization!
The Outsider by Cytisus (5.3k) - An extended/slightly AU scene from Forces, where the Avatar is sent to retrieve Tails from the Mystic Jungle, but Tails doesn’t want to go back. I haven’t actually played Forces, but regardless, this fic is just SO good! Tails is characterized perfectly, and his internal conflict wrt the resistance and his place in it is so juicy.
Aviator by Hikareh (10k) - A series of mostly funny but occasionally fluffy or feelsy oneshots from Tails’ POV, most of which involve his friendship with Sonic (and sometimes Knuckles) in some way. SO funny but has some great introspective moments as well!
Flashbulb by Hikareh (3.8k) - Sonic discovers a bunch of old photos and reflects on Tails and the friendship they share. Warm, feelsy goodness!
Sonic the Hedgehog Party Planning Simulator 2017 by Hikareh and Katiemonz - Okay technically not a fic, its a choose-your-own-adventure game, but it has a story and its a good one so it counts!! Tails is planning Sonic a surprise party for his birthday, and he needs to make sure that EVERYTHING goes according to plan! That’s a bit easier said than done, though. Lots of great, hilarious conversations between Tails and everyone as he tries to give his best friend the best birthday party ever!
So. There you have it! Some Tails-centric stories, entirely romance-free. I hope you like some of them, and thank you for asking!

Hatori Yoshiyuki no baai short story 4
Sekaiichi Hatsukoi- Hatori Yoshiyuki no Baai (Middle School arc)
Valentine's Day was very troublesome.
One reason was because Hatori didn’t like eating sweets very much. The inexplicable atmosphere around him also made people calm down.
Recently, his middle school classmates often discussed how many chocolates they could get. But one would want to get this kind of thing from the person they like.
Even if one really did receive the chocolate, one wouldn’t have any feelings other than really bothered. At the very least, this was the case for Hatori.
Because he also knew that this kind of thing was too slick, he would not say anything and just wish February 14 to pass by quickly.
"Oh, it’s already the third one so soon."
"What are you doing..."
Yoshino looked like a spy from the window of his room to secretly monitored Hatori’s house. He was counting the number of girls who came to Hatori’s house to bring Hatori Valentine's Day chocolate.
“It’s rare for them to bring you chocolate. Is it really ok not to accept it?”
“The school prohibits these things.”
"That's the rule at school "
"It is too much trouble to refuse them directly."
Although the behavior of those girls was very commendable, it was because of that which made it very difficult to choose a statement without hurting the other party. In this case, it was better not to accept their chocolates from the beginning.
"Auntie is not there today?"
"They both went out."
Because this Valentine’s Day coincided with Sunday, Yoshino’s parents went out on a date
(P/S: Awwww)
At first, they said that they would come back before dinner. But Chiaki said that he would take care of his dinner properly, and so he let the two people slowly enjoy the life and send them out.
"Your family is still on good terms as always. "
"Yes."
"Why not go to my house for dinner? My mom should be happy, too. "
"Can I?"
"It’s time for our relationship to be polite." (P/S: not very sure)
Now, the reason why Hatori was in Yoshino’s room was because he was pestered for a long time “Come to my house tomorrow! You definitely have to come!”.
Although it was not like Hatori completely did not have some modest expectations (P/S: what are you expecting Toriiii), he also understood long ago that expectations itself in this matter was futile.
It might be because of this that Hatori was cynical about the commotion of those around him. After all, Hatori was too narrow-minded.
"Excuse me..."
After a cautious knock on the door, Yoshino’s younger sister, Chinatsu, walked in.
"This is really rare. You actually knock, Chinatsu."
"Brother, you are noisy. That…Yoshiyuki-kun! I made a cupcake. If I don’t give it away, I will eat it as a snack. Although I did it with my brother so I can’t say I am very confident..."
"Is it okay for me to eat it?"
Chinatsu brought in a two-people mug, a drink, and small cupcakes.
"I hope Yoshiyuki-kun can eat it! Then I will put it here!"
Chinatstu took a look at Yoshino and then left in a panic. For Yoshino to thoughtfully invite Hatori to the home, perhaps it was Chinatsu’s instructions.
"It’s really rare that you for you to make a snack or something. "
"It’s just that I was called to help. It’s a man’s task to say what physical labor was (P/S: not very sure). Well, it was done with materials in that kind of standard kit, so I think the taste should still be normal."
The decorations on the cupcakes were different.
Among the many cute decorations that revealed the general girls’ taste, there were cupcakes depicting the comic characters that Yoshino liked.
"This was not done very well."
"Isn’t it? Ah, your share is those that Chinatsu made. Ah, that's mine!"
“I know it at a glance”
Hatori peeled the cupcake wrapping paper and throw the cupcake into his mouth before it could be snatched back by Yoshino. (P/S: Lmao Hatori…)
"Ah!! I say it’s mine!!"
The cocoa-flavored cupcake was covered with a thick layer of chocolate, clearly sweet to death, but also particularly delicious.
“Aren’t you eating those?"
As Hatori said so, he reached for the second cake that looked like Yoshino’s. (P/S: LMAO)
"If Chinatsu knows that I have eaten it, I will definitely be killed..."
"As long as you doesn't say it, she won't know."
" Makes sense."
Just imagining her sister's reaction caused Yoshino to shiver, but it was easy to accept what Hatori said and began eating the rest of the cupcakes.
Yoshino seemed to be able to eat as long as he could.
However, because Yoshino was too simple, if he was asked by Chinatsu, everything would be exposed on his face. At that time, Yoshino would say it.
Obviously, there was no expectation, but he accidentally ate the chocolate dessert made by the person he liked. Tori carefully remembered his luck and ate the second cake.
"...... Valentine's Day isn't bad either. "
"Did you say anything?"
"Nothing. "
Hatori silently thanked Yoshino Chiaki’s random drive and tasted the rest of the cupcakes.
[END]
P/S: Toriiii, you always blame Yoshino for being so clueless but you’re also not that much better, not realizing Chinatsu’s intentions for youuuu

Cutie Reviews: TokyoTreat Oct 19
I think I’m doing pretty good progress wise, please be patient with me as I continue to try to review old boxes~
Tumblr media
“October is here, bringing with it those spooky Halloween vibes! Halloween has been growing in popularity in recent years, and since Japan loves their seasonal snacks we had plenty of new, interesting items to choose from! In the spirit of being spooky but kinda cute, we’ve created a Poke-Monster Night for you to enjoy! No sharing these tricky snacks though!“
For this months contest, the winner could receive figures of Naruto and Sasuke from Naruto, while runner-ups won a cute pokeball candy and stamp. Lucky Treat consisted of Full Metal Alchemist, Dragon Quest, AND three devil fruits from One Piece, the Gomu Gomu (Gum), Mera Mera (Flame), and Ope Ope (Operation. Also, they accidentally mislabeled as the “dark dark fruit”). I was very excited that they included the 3 belonging to 3 of my favorite characters~
Pokemon Ramune & Strange Syrup DIY
(Please see top pic for images)
For this month, we get a basic, straight-laced ramune drink. Thank goodness :P as much as I like to try new flavors, sometimes I forget the original is probably the best... especially in comparison to those yucky flavors that I’m still traumatized by <_< and this month we even get a really cute pokemon label.
Ramune is basically that “soda“ flavor you’ll see in Japanese candy. It has a sweet, sort of lemon-ish taste but its not sour. It’s a little like sprite, but in my opinion it tastes way better. It’s especially yummy whenever it’s warm out or if you worked up a thirst. It’s also really fun to open because of the marble inside!
If you have ever wanted to try out Ramune, I would suggest checking on Amazon (they have a variety of fruit flavors too), or maybe the Japan Haul website (the website made through Tokyo Treat and its various brands).
- - - - -
The DIY I just included a bonus pic of because I’ve done it several times. It’s a super-sticky, thick syrup like candy that only requires you to mix the 3 flavors, which are strawberry, soda, and lemon. Together they make grape... which looks like this:
Tumblr media
Because this candy was a little old, I think it was a bit off. The lemon and soda flavors were fine, but I noticed that not only was strawberry orange instead of pink, which might explain this... greenish-honey color. It’s usually a little purple if I recall.
Also, it didn’t really taste like grape this time, and it wasn’t as good in my opinion- but I guarantee if you open it as soon as you get it, it tastes much better. If you don’t like sticky/gooey textures you might wanna skip this one though.
Halloween Milk Senbei & Bloody Cola Marshmallow
Tumblr media
Since I subscribed like 3 years ago, I’ve only seen senbei in a box once; I was very excited to see it again! It’s stuff like this I wish they would include more of, because I want to try the unique foreign flavors you know?
Anyway, the milk senbei is a plain, very thin melt-in-your mouth cracker-like snack that pretty much tastes like ice cream cone, but a teensy bit sweeter. This one comes with a cola flavored sauce to put on top of it. Each 1 (or one pack, not sure) is around 25-27 calories.
♥ ♥ ♥
I really like the taste of ice cream cones, I don’t know why, I just always have. Meanwhile, the jelly/sauce is purple, but it indeed tastes like cola ♥ it’s very yummy. However... together, they get a strange taste and that I’m not very fond of. I can’t even describe it, but its weird. But eating it in small doses is tolerable.
- - - - -
Speaking of cola, we also got a really cute marshmallow filled with a cola jelly! It’s like they combined two of my favorite things~
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 
It’s very soft and yummy, the jelly inside tastes about the same as the sauce from the prior item, but it tastes so much better with the marshmallow.
Apple Pie Kit Kat & Brown Sugar Sweets
Tumblr media
Instead of orange kit kats this year, we get to see fun purple one :D these kit kats are inspired by an apple pie. As you can see they also come in a large pack to share with others or to eat yourself. Each pack is 65 calories. 
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 
I love the coloring of these, first of all. It’s such a pretty purple, and its fun too. The apple flavor is very prominent, and it has a very small hint of spice, while the wafer brings to mind a sugary crust. It’s sweet, but mildly.
- - - - - -
These are popular for their melty and soft texture, with a very thin, crisp layer of rich brown sugar coating. Each one of these is 17 calories.
♥ ♥ ♥ 
These are kinda basic, but it’s a yummy sweet that isn’t overly sugary. I think it goes good with the apple pie kit kat, and maybe some milk.
Disappearing Taste?! Mixed Gummies, ZomB Grape Gum, & Blue Green Soda Gum
Tumblr media
We got 3 gums this month! Our first is very familiar, because we’ve had this gum before. The only difference is this is its washed out, slightly different cousin. Basically, you’re given a set of flavors of gum, in this case yogurt, strawberry, orange, and white grape/muscat. You can eat them as is, or mix the flavors to make new ones, like a fruit drink, melon soda, or different fruits.
What makes this one special however, is that there is a special gumball that supposedly makes the flavor disappear? I mean, isn’t that what gum does normally?
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 
This gum is really nice, you get a lot of them per-resealable pouch, and the flavors are always pretty good. Plus I like how the gum is smooth and soft in texture. I didn’t really notice any difference with this one from the last pack I had other than flavors.
- - - - -
Next up, we have the ZomB Gum; a popular Halloween item that we have seen before; I think about 2 or so years back, when we got the red cola vampire version. What makes this gum really fun is that it colors your tongue as you chew it, and it has a delicious grape flavor.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 
This gum has the same texture as the other gum, so I really like it. The color effect isn’t nearly as strong as the package shows, but it’s a cute little gimmick, and it tastes great. The flavor lasts about 5 minutes.
- - - -
Our last gum is another brand I’ve had before. I have had both this flavor, and their cola version. It’s pretty much the same concept as the ZomB gum (they’re made by the same brand), but its in two sticks and you get a soda flavor, and a melon flavor.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 
I’d pretty much say the same things as I did about the previous two gums. All three were delicious and I would recommend any of them.
Poteco Pumpkin Gratin & Pringles
Tumblr media
Here we have two salty, savory snacks for the box. But of course, the Poteco are not new to us, in fact I think last Halloween we got the exact same pack; minus slightly different packaging. Poteco is good and all, but I got so tired of seeing it that I tend to... shy away from it now. This flavor wasn’t really that different from the original/normal Poteco either.
- - - - -
I was a lot more excited for this item, a unique pack of Japanese Pringles :D Looking at the package, this is a type of ramen or noodle bowl flavor. It’s a mystery item in the booklet so I’m not really sure, but for this small can it is 267 calories!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 
Honestly, these are so yummy that I don’t even care how many calories there are. The flavor is very strong, it tastes exactly like this cup ramen I like to buy. Trying to describe the flavor, I would say it’s sort of like beef or soy sauce broth, with a hint of a corn taste?
Pokemon Halloween Chocolate & Pikachu Gummies
Tumblr media
These are both snacks we’ve had before, so I’ll try to just gist this one.
These crispy snacks are shape like pikachu heads and come in fun, colorful packaging featuring a variety of Pokemon, while the back usually has a fun puzzle or image. Each bag is 83 calories and they are by the brand Tohato.
These are really yummy x3 they have a slightly bitter chocolate taste and remind me a lot of the coco crispy cereals.
- - - - - -
The other snack is also pikachu-shaped, but besides its head, there are also the occasional tail you might find ;3 These are by Lotte, and each pack is 90 calories. The flavor is grape and they taste really good too.
The only real thing to bother me about these is that they didn’t cut the gummy around Pikachu’s ears. It’s a minor thing but it bothers me a little.
Halloween Corn Potage Umaibo
Tumblr media
Okay, so... because I talk about this a lot, I’m not actually planning on saying anything about it this time :P long story short, corn potage Umaibo is the best.
Squid Legs & Halloween Pizza Corn Snack
Tumblr media
Don’t let the name fool you, these are not real squid legs- they just have a fishy taste. I’ve had these before too, and I have fairly complex feelings about them. On one hand they don’t taste terrible, but I don’t like seafood and the flavor is still unappealing to me. I like their crunchy texture though.
- - - - -
Next up is this corn puff snack featuring a delicious pizza flavor! They taste exactly like the pizza-flavored combos, if you never had those before I would recommend them too~
Pokemon Cola Chewing Candy
Tumblr media
This is our final item... and now that I look at it, it kinda looks like a wafer cookie doesn’t it?
Anyway, these are sticks of chewing candy that come in various series and flavors. Before we had some grape Thomas the Tank Engine ones, and this time we get some cola Pokemon. Each wrapper usually includes a unique design, craft, or puzzle of some sort.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I don’t know if these are hard because they had to sit around for a while, or because that is just how they are. I don’t remember the Thomas ones being so hard, but they weren’t as thick as these. But if you suck on them for a few minutes they soften up, or you can crunch them to softness. The flavor is very yummy, I think it might be my favorite cola flavored item in the box.  
♥ Cutie Ranking ♥
Content - 4.5 out of 5. Everything is very yummy, even though a fair amount of it was repetitive. I really liked it. Theme - 4 out of 5. Well, given the packaging and theme, I could say yeah they did pretty good. We had a decent amount of Pokemon items, but they could have done a little more too I think. Total Rank: 9 out of 10. I really liked this box, I just wish maybe we would have had a couple more unique items.
♥ Cutie’s Scale of Yummy ♥
(I’m sorry, but by this point I’m not really feeling well. I want to finish the review so that I can go lay down DX)

by this point im p sure u all know the drill.... i’m nora, 23, she/her, gmt and tonight matthew im going to be greta o’driscoll, a terrible person but a hot one which frankly makes it almost ok. here is her pinterest..... this intro is literally just copied n pasted frm the last time i played her so soz if u’ve read it like 10+ times.... 
「 diana silvers. cis-female. 」have you seen greta o’driscoll around yet? i hear she decided to be in POTENTAS for their SOPHOMORE year as a CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY major. the 20 year old SHEPHERD is known to be tenacious, magnetic, capricious and evasive. ➨ the muse is written by nora, she/her, gmt.
was adopted as an infant. had two foster moms and two older sisters so always surrounded by women. lived in a boarding house, very much like the one in 20th century women, with lodgers coming in and out all the time, mostly artsy young women because her gay moms were both high school teachers trying to set up their own arts collective. one of her moms left when she was 4, n she doesn’t really remember her.
while living with entirely women made her super into catlin moran and the guilty feminist, as a teenager she often let boys walk all over her bc she just craved male attention jst bcos she’d never really experienced it. saw it as something aspirational, like sitting in the back of chad’s second-hand truck while he drove you to macdonalds and offered you and his five friends with identical haircuts weed was the height of being cool to greta, she wanted to be their dream girl, even if it meant compromising her beliefs
was always a really sporty bitch. it started with a junior athletics squad, which turned into athletics and cheer, which then became athletics, cheer and hockey until she basically was doing a different activity every night. she came to see her body as a tool that she could make work for her if she trained it up and this attitude’s always kind of stayed with her that as long as her body is strong she is capable of anything. runs every day. 
bubbly bitch but also massive snake. metaphorically and literally, always shedding her skin. loyal to few, ruled by none, out for herself, babey!! every place she goes, she becomes a new character, someone who’s a figment of her imagination, as if each city is repertory theatre and she’s a character actress, so as a result som ppl think she’s called rita, some ppl know her as margot, she just flicks through identities like nobodies business.
left school at 18 n went backpacking around the states making money in the casinos by being a shot girl (yeehaw) and trying to make it as a mysterious 1920s widow with a smoky voice, a dark secret n a heart of gold, looking for love in the big city. all she found was producers and acting agents who’d promise her stardom n actually just fuck her in a motel n then ignore her calls.
TW domestic violence, TW gun, her watershed moment came when she met luke in sioux falls while she was working at a strip club. he was a few years older and had a car, and they kind of went from seeing each other to being that super intense couple who are just necking all the time.
they got engaged like 3 months after they met n rented a flat together, much to her family’s annoyance but she was 19 so there wasn’t much they could do. their relationship was super super intense though, often really heightened and when they fought it could become quite violent, but she’d pass it off as just him being really passionate.
one of their fights got really heated and greta threatened him with the gun he kept in the glove box of his vauxhall corsa, but the safety was off and she accidentally shot him. she pleaded self defence in the trial n cos of the amount of times she’d been hospitalised for various concussions n things like ‘fallling down the stairs’ the police were like yea… pretty watertight evidence that he was a bastard who [chicago voice] had it coming….. 
she’s now under witness protection, rehoused in livingstone as a sports-scholarship student, due to the amount of police involvement in the area, it would mean should one of luke’s family members try to track her down, she’d be relatively safe
massive sports fanatic. plays tennis. on the cheer team. was a track superstar in her high school. honestly just that sporty bitch, you’ll see her doing lines at a party at half four and then on your way to your 9am lecture you see her running across the park like a fresh fucking daisy who is this bitch. maybe it’s maybelline, maybe its coke.
massive feminist. low key quite scared of powerful men bcos of her ex. wants to start a female only lesbian commune bc she misses her childhood in a south dakota boarding house and has endless support for women. honestly annoyed that she is attracted to men, would so be 100% gay if it was a choice. cuffs her jeans and can’t drive. is That bisexual. skateboards. wears backwards caps.  i hate her 
isn’t a foward-planner, however. greta prefers to leave her options open, play the field, live in a spontaneous manners so her study style is mostly cramming a few days before a test, or staying up all night writing an essay on a massive adrenline boost powered by red bull or probably adderall, scribbling (or typing) furiously into the night.
has an addictive personality. seems unable to do anything in a small dose, she has to let it utterly consume her. with sports, she’s fiercely competitive. with alcohol, it’s never a shot, it’s a whole bottle – wine or whiskey – she’ll be table dancing before the night’s up and making out with someone she’ll regret in the morning. 
not afraid to go after what she wants !! ambitious academically and romantically thirsty !! she loves the adrenaline of the chase. when someone’s easy to get, she becomes bored. very bisexual and very proud of it. feminist as fuck nd part of a queer representation in the arts group which holds fortnightly meetings to discuss lgbt representation in film, literature, art etc.
old soul in a young person’s body. all the shit that has gone on has kind of aged her. she’s quite cynical about everything now. always smoking smoking smoking. very edie sedgwick in that way.  little girls skirts bought for next-to-nothing at the market because she’s skinny enough to get away with it, barely long enough to cover your bum, and then the ugliest baggy sweater you’ve ever seen thrown over it.
likes old things. old books, old music, old houses, it reminds her of happier times like when she wasn’t alive. buys all her music on vinyl and has a gramphone because “The Sound quality is Better” kfdsjj.
super into pop art and andy warhol. puts female friendships above everything but at the same time, would fuck her best friends man
her clothing style is like…. vintage thrift store but make it preppy. berets and cute hats, neck scarves, large fluffy cardigans or like those leathery jackets with big suede fringes on them, mini skirts (very 70s), and knee high socks or boots. quite often she’ll be in sports kit, maybe a cute tennis skirt, n when she’s feeling casual she’ll wear like, a talking heads tshirt with a pair of mom jeans and converse, but otherwise, the library is her catwalk.
aesthetics:
a bubble of pink gum on chapped lips, mom jeans, a beaten up pair of adidas, denim jackets, strawberry laces, knee-highs, chapped lips, peeling sticky plasters, split knuckles, bruises you try to cover with concealer, stick and poke tattoos, hot coffee, sleep caught in your eyes on a lazy afternoon, kissing girls, cigarette smoke shrouding you like a veil, alien conspiracy theories and sci-fi paperbacks, doc martens with fraying laces, the red string of a thong peaking out purposely from jeans, leonine arch of your back and that stellar smile that says ‘you have no idea who you’re dealing with’, a rucksack permanently packed for the move, a streak of red across your lips, roller blades, cut knees, not eating your greens, smiling with a mouthful of blood, and piercing your own ears with a safety pin when your mom wouldn’t take you, kate moss posters lining the walls of a teenage bedroom, his name scrawled in rage across the pages of a diary, thumb holes poked through the cuffs of your sleeves, a tennis racket you punched through in a fit of temper, feet pounding the earth until your soles bleed crimson, sleeping in a cherry lip balm and scrunchies to keep the wild locks from your eyes.

you never meant for it to happen. you’d heard the stories, of girls who let their man walk all over them, and thought to yourself “i’ll never be one of those girls…” the kind that eat low-fat yoghurt and drink slim fast to shred a few extra pounds because he said she was getting round in the tummy, or the ones who spent their evenings tied to a kitchen sink drinking wine while him and the boys played poker, wishing god, if only I could get out of here. not you, not you raised by strong women, four bright shining beacons. single mother with her hard-as-nails attitude and her stony glares, elder sisters (twins) one ginger, one blonde, one doctor, one lawyer, both determined to take a bullet to the brain and a hammer to the patriarchy before they let a man touch them without asking. you were always so inferior, so insecure and small, like a bird (like a sparrow) with blonde plaits down your back sucking tropicana whilst your busom buds sucked dick, their lips permanently ripe with stories of their sexual exploits, fake tan and glittered nails whilst you sat in the unbroken egg of virginity wondering what it was like to be loved. one day you found out.
lily milligan’s parents gone and a free house for the night, bottles of ouzo and tequila swiped from your mother’s liquor cabinet thinking she wouldn’t know (she always knew) your legs, hardened from pep squad, slut dropping on a kitchen table because the boys thought it would be fun to get the quiet girl drunk. you’d never had a sip before that night. band t-shirts, denim shorts and the split soles of rotten converse that you refuse to let go of, you still clutched with both hands to your youth, but in a tube top now (borrowed from alice carmichael who had a sister in college) and a short tennis skirt, your feet not in trainers but in thigh-high boots. uncomfy as hell but lily said you needed to look sexy. you didn’t know if you wanted to be sexy. you didn’t know what kind of girl you were, if you were even a girl at all. but robbie looked at you like he knew exactly who you were, like he knew you better than you knew yourself, and his lips had the pink cupid’s bow of a movie star, and his hair was dark locks, curling like a mane. his hands were soft, and suddenly on your waist, and after three more shots his lips were on yours and his name was the only sound in your head and on your lips as you lost it in lily’s college sister’s bedroom beneath the glare of a T-Pain poster. you bled for what seemed like hours, his hand still in yours, kissing on the sofa as truth tellers and dare devils continued to spin a bottle of unprecedented youth. you thought it was love. robbie was the one. he loved you, you knew it, how else could someone be so soft? but soon he grew bored, scrunched up your paper heart and set it alight. then came the tears, the hatred, the ‘fuck robbie, in fact, fuck all boys.’ and that you did.
you were known for being easy. any boy could be yours for a night, as long as he promised to love you for those few short breaths and pants before you cried yourself to sleep. you felt poisoned, but poisonous as well, as if by ensnaring these young boys you were gaining power over them, and not the other way around. soon it started to work. they’d want more, but you’d deny them it, sick of sucking off silly schoolboys, they’d call you a tease, a vixen. maybe you were, but you couldn’t help but want older men. you got the history teacher first time, him bending you over his desk to sneak a hand up your tennis skirt as the after-school clubs carried on next door, unawares. love didn’t exist, not for you. it was nothing but a game for pretty young girls to play, bubble gum in their canines and a hand tugging at the hem of their cheer skirt.
there was so much anger inside of your small body, ‘beware of boys and their hook-like words’. hockey helped. there was something formidable about the feeling of a stick like a weapon in your hands and the thwack it made against thighs in the heat of a scrum - “slipped, sorry!” - you’d utter with a snakeskin smile, millicent quinn knowing that you’d hit her on purpose because she shagged robbie at that party last week. she couldn’t prove it, cobbled acne on her forehead turning green with disgust. ben came into your life like a car crash. two years your senior, with a baseball jacket and shoulders like a god. he became your personal hero. on the pitch, he was lethal. together, you could bring anyone to their ruin. each day after last period he’d be waiting in his car. you’d leap into his arms like a girl-half starved, love me, love me, love me, your heated kisses the envy of every junior girl. he was yours for three blissful years, utterly yours, and you were his, his star-spangled girl, and he was your knight - you were both the same, playing games, always difficult to predict. it was a shock to all when he proposed, high-school sweethearts find love in south dakota.
the engagement was a bittersweet affair; three months – you barely out of your gingham print skirts and into a graduation gown, him, a surly quarterback towering above your sisters, cigarette at his lips and a scowl like a fart in a lift. they hated him. so did you. but you were eighteen and in love, and he fitted the cookie cutter mould. everyone wanted him, and you had him. you had him and you were happy, happy, happy, and he loved you. he said he’d give you the world, anything you wanted hand-picked and given to you. instead, he gave you a jack russell terrier and a flat you couldn’t swing a cat in, wallpaper peeling like the rotten bits inside of you, the bits that only he knew. and you got tireder and tireder of the sad excuse of a life he’d picked out for you, him out doing god knows what to pay the bills, and you dancing on tables to pave your way to stardom, and this was love, this was real, until the shine wore off and your fresh-faced, dimple-cheeked cheerleader facade faded and the ugliness started to reveal itself, the whining, the petulance, the sharp-tempered cruelty, the mind games, the need to always win, win, win. he was dull, he was boring, he was nothing like the boy the girls had said he was and no chiselled six pack could hide his lack of anything remotely interesting, your patience wearing thin until it snapped like rubber, a rucksack on your back, running shoes on your feet and the joint bank account emptied into your eighth grade birthday wallet.
you built your small fortunes working the casinos of sioux falls, a crimson dress and an attitude to match. bookish archie with his little dipper freckles was fun for a month, before he became just as dull and dreary as the rest. a three hour bus and you were in minneapolis, bright eyed and bushy tailed, fresh meat ready for the pickings. a hostel here, a friendly co-worker’s sofa there as you made what you could by taking off your clothes and shaking your ass like you were back in pep squad, doing what you did best. you met your fair share of creeps, and soon it was back on the road to escape a wide-eyed stalker and a restless itch for more. milwaukee, chicago, you made the roads your own. log cabins and lodgings, and the occasional motel, a beaten up pick up truck purchased at a scrap merchants – you got a few miles out of it before it bit the dust, and when you finally set it alight after nights spent lounging across the driver’s seat, a parka tucked over you as a duvet, you were sad to see it go. you’re nomadic by fault, never attaching to place, people or things, creating a new personality in every place you go like a character actress; each town is a different repertory theatre, and you’re the star. a compulsive liar, you even fib about your own name, to some you’re ellen, nineteen, bookish, a law student who likes smoking and cosmos. to someone else you’re rita, you’re twenty five and look young for your age, like smoking, comics and fucking in public places.
in the bright lights of michigan, you found charlie, sweet charlie, too good for you, though you let him spoil you while he thought you were the small town girl of his dreams. next came abigail, who was fun until the jealously kicked in, and then luke, gorgeous luke, dangerous, exciting, who despite his temper, despite the fights, despite bruises down your spine and your teeth marks on his arms, loved you with the strength of a wild fire. there was destruction in your wishbones, a savageness from the field, from the pitch and now somehow in his arms, you were godly. he was cruel, he was careless, and he refused to fall at your feet like so many other boys had, which only you made you want him all the more. you were rage incarnate. you hated him so fiercely you thought you might kill him, so he played the only card you wouldn’t predict; proposed.
the house you shared was a backstreet flat in detroit, you making your name as a downtown singer while he footed the bill with pills. they had a drug for anything these days, to dull the senses, to pick them up, to drive you to insanity or pull you out of the madness hole. the two of you lived like criminals on the run (you never told him that you were, living out your days as the enigma he wanted you to be), you with your voice like caramel and fishnet legs. you were his and his alone until his hand was at your throat and the gun was in your hands screaming at him to stop, stop, stop, until a bullet stoppered his brain, crimson staining linoleum as you cast yourself out like lucifer. self defence was decreed the moment they saw your violet neck, black tears and headlight eyes and mind screaming red, red, red like the pom-poms you shook so willingly in school and the insides of his skull. you were gone, and “you” was born, renamed “greta”, boxed, shipped-out, and next-day delivered to livingstone where under witness protection you were a student, blank slate, fresh-faced in a place where no one knew your name, doing what you always did and starting again.
