curiosity

"What is that?"

Feri'um hums, jolting their pan and sending a fresh wave of sizzling into the air. Little claws prick at his shoulder as Kal Myhk alights there, wings a-flutter as the little dragon tries to fold them and peer down at the little stoveset at the same time. He breathes long and deep over the steam, then rattles his head.

"This smell is unfamiliar to me. So many pieces to it, swirling together... what is it, Feri'um?"

"Lunch," Feri' replies. They waft some of the smoke in and consider the pan before reaching for their bag. It takes them a moment to find a sprig of mint within, and they lift it for Kal Myhk to see. He dutifully sniffs it and Feri'um holds back a laugh as he jerks a little.

"Sharp! But not bad. Very similar to other plants I have seen Mother use... like the cold, yet not." Kal Myhk peers up at their face from around their horn. "So this is what you eat normally?"

"One of the things!" Feri' adds the sprig to the pan and stirs. They'd only meant to do meat and mushrooms, but, well. Easy to get carried away when adding a sauce. "I'm trained as a cook so I have more options than most— but many people can't eat meat raw unless it's treated in a certain way, so they'd need to sear it with heat first anyway. We can add seasonings to make it taste better or different, too, if we have any."

Kal Myhk tilts his head. "Not raw... so what if you lack for your fire?"

They chuckle. "I have magic, I think that's impossible."

The little dragon stomps gently on a bare patch of shoulder and they squawk. "Still! What if something happens? You could be surrounded by the finest prey and yet be left bereft."

"I'd look for fruits or something, then. We use plants for a lot more than soothing aches and healing pains. These," they point to the rounded shapes of the mushrooms in their pan, "are fungi, for example. I could live off only them for a long time. I'm also trained in botany, so I probably won't poison myself by mistake."

Kal Myhk hums, but he still shifts on his perch. Feri' tries not to wince and gives the simmering concoction another stir. "And if there are none of those, either? The lands of Ishgard are harsh and frosted. I imagine there must be corners unfortunately free of such greenery."

"Then if I can't find, that's what this is for." Feri turns down the heat and lifts their ingredient bag, turning the lip inside-out to show Kal Myhk the silvery fabric within. He leans in to study. "Careful now. It keeps food fresh. This material on the inside retains a chill as long as I remember to keep some ice in it, and the outside is thick, see? Then there are more layers between the two, to help keep temperature from escaping. I carry a lot of food with me quite regularly, and some of it can last nearly forever in the right conditions."

"I see. Very useful, for one who flits about as you do."

At last mollified, Kal Myhk settles down on his perch and turns his attention off and away, apparently content to simply savor in company. Free from the ministrations of ever-shifting tiny claws, Feri takes the opportunity to pull out a container.

For a minute, all is at peace. In the distance, sprites crackle and shrubs sway. A young dravanian revels in the presence of his strange auri friend, and only sometimes glances back down at whatever odd thing it is they are doing right now. The au ra does not glance back, wholly occupied by their task, and for want of something to do Kal Myhk keeps a diligent eye on the surrounding wildlife— unlikely though it may be they would spring at the duo so close to Anyx Trine.

Or at least, he does until a small plate brimming with food is thrust into his peripheral. He turns, startled, and meets Feri'um's open gaze.

"I made plenty."

Kal Myhk considers them a moment, then the plate. Delicately, he pulls one of the chunks of meat from the pale sauce and, with a quick flick, swallows it down. He blinks a few times and looks at it again, and Feri'um smiles. They place the dish down on the stone beside them and take up their own full container, small metal tool in hand.

"Here. Just leave anything you don't want, we'll toss it into the shrub later."

"Thank you."

The spices and meat both are unfamiliar to Kal Myhk, and blended as they are any resemblance they might have once borne to the creatures here in the forelands has long faded. And while he can't imagine eating something so rich and messy for each meal, well. He'd been good lately, so this could probably count as a treat, right?

In no time at all, they both devour their meals. It takes a moment for Kal Myhk to figure out how to hook his claws under the porcelain without dropping it, and another to flick the remains of sauce and herbs free. Feri'um wraps it in a cloth before returning it to their bag.

"I should think I might like to see more of your strange cooked dishes someday, Feri'um." Kal Myhk tosses his head eagerly. "I was unaware mankind's meals could be so flavorful, even if cooked meat seems almost a waste. I'd not eat it forever, the way you must to survive— but a delightful exception, nonetheless."

Feri' grins. "I'm glad it has your seal of approval. A lot of dishes like that are very different from one another, so when next I come back I'll try to have something new."

"It is a promise, then."

Hi Mommy, I’m sorry but maybe you would want to write something where Dragon Dabi demands a sacrifice and clueless darling is told by the village to pick mushrooms in that one cave? And then sees Dabi and he’s like „Oh, you Must be the sacrifice I ordered“. And darling begs not to be eaten and he’s like:“Nah, you’re cute, your my pet now”.

♡ Dragon Territory ♡

(A/N: First time actually publishing a fantasy au 🥳🥳 I love fantasy au sm!! Y/n in this gives my fairycore vibes 😤 Also, I got your other Dragon!Dabi request but I was super excited to write this one so I wrote it kinda fast cause I was just so excited!!!!)

Summary: Your village sends you on a quest to find some mushrooms. Why? You’re not exactly sure but you go anyways. Eventually you get a cave, not knowing it’s the territory of Dabi. The dragon who inhabits the woods (Yan!Dabi x GN!Reader)

❥ Fantasy au, Dragon!Dabi

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

“Bye bye!” You cheer, saving to some of your neighbors in your village. They’ve been acting weird with you lately, you’re not exactly sure why. Today they’ve sent you off to get some mushrooms. Maybe they would make some mushroom soup! You’re not sure but you hope so!

You walk around the forest, stopping every once and a while to inspect a flower or animal. You swing your wicker basket in your hand while you walk, stopping to grab every mushroom that you saw. The forest began getting deeper, the leaves from the trees causing large shadows around you. Everyone on your village told you to keep going straight until you found a large cave, so you keep walking. Looking down and around at the grass for more mushrooms, your eyes widen slightly.

There are footprints on the ground.

“Hello? Does anyone live around here?” You call out, afraid that you may have intruded on someone’s land or maybe even their home. You don’t want to be rude. You stand for a moment, getting no response other than the rustling of leaves and chirping of birds. After a minute you begin walking again, determined to get the mushrooms from the cave that your village was so adamant that you go get.

You look at looking at the mouth of a large cave. You gently enter into the cave, hearing your footsteps echoing through the cavern. It’s slightly intimidating, the large area being entirely empty and dark. Ah, a mushroom! You bend down to pick it up, plopping it into your basket. Only to be interrupted by a loud, deep, growl.

You let out a squeak, looking around the dark cavern. “H-hello?” You gently call, standing up and holding your basket close to your chest. You glance around until you catch a glimpse of something shiny. Scales. Oh no no no no, a dragons cave.

In front of you is a dragon, in his human form, staring down at you. Purple scars and metal piercings litter his body. Even in his human form, you can see his large horns, scaly neck, fangs, and pointy ears. Dabi only continues staring you. The village close by often sending him a sacrifice so he didn’t wreak havoc upon them. Damn, they really had to send the cutest person in the village for him to eat, huh?

“I-I’m really sorry, sir” you say, hoping that he will let you go even though you intruded on his territory. Dragons are known for being territorial and eating humans who get into their things. “I’m sorry, I p-promise I didn’t mean to steal from you!” You whimper, hoping that he’ll let you live. At least to say goodbye to your friends and neighbors.

He couldn’t eat you. He just knows he can’t. Why would he eat such a cute little thing? He’ll keep you, keep you in a chain, feed you, love on you. Yeah, that should work.

Dabi lets out a low hum at your words, it’s pathetic really but cute. “Don’t worry, dollface. I’m not gonna kill you” He says, watching you wipe your teary eyes with hope. “R-really?” You whimper, looking up at him with glossy eyes. Yeah, he would keep you. A pet of sorts he supposes. Or maybe a lover, it was almost breeding season after all and he needed a mate anyways.

“No. But you’re gonna stay here with me, angel” Dabi says, taking a step forward towards you “Hmm, my mate” he mumbles, a smirk crawling into his face. You only look up in fear. You’re probably not going to get out of this. This dragons grasp.

Kingdom Hearts III Fix Fic Masterpost

(Queueing because I wrote this up at late o’clock when I wasn’t likely to get traffic, so I’m setting it for a more reasonable time of evening)

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m disillusioned with Kingdom Hearts III, and I have at least two projects on my AO3 that take different approaches to FIXING IT. But I’ve also, on my journey, found several great fics NOT BY ME that improve upon canon so much and this really just warms my heart because it proves that this entire fanbase has such a good grasp on these characters and concepts that our homebrews end up being more satisfying than the real thing, and I’m proud of us for being such frickin’ good writers. Not all of these are finished, I’ll warn you.

Anyway, if you were personally victimized by Kingdom Hearts III, you might enjoy one or more of these titles:

Points of a Star by Beastrage is a time-travel AU where, after the events of KHIII make way for an apocalyptic future ravaged by the Foretellers, the most unlikely squad in the world (Skuld, Vanitas, Naminé, Repliku, and Demyx) travels back in time to KHIII in order to make sure things go better this time. Featuring beautiful magical imagery and worldbuilding, addressing of character themes that really should’ve been talked over in canon, and just about every subplot you can think of getting a wrap-up. If you like that, you may also enjoy Beastrage’s other KH writings. Moon Out of Phase is another time-travel AU that changes the timeline, but instead begins all the way back in 358/2 Days, and our time traveler is Isa, finding himself with his post-III memories but in the body of Saïx in the World That Never Was with no explanation. Beastrage’s latest endeavor, Tell Me That I’m Real, concerns a girl from our world coming into consciousness as the Riku Replica’s original personality, and changing the timeline as of Chain of Memories by refusing to let Vexen erase her mind from the Replica’s body and deciding to go off script.

With All of My Heart by greylina acts as a KHIII sequel. Ten years have passed, with little incident. Riku pines for the lost Sora and seeks him for ten years. Then, with the power of love combined with a little magic and a stroke of good luck, he manages to travel back to Scala ad Caelum...to find Sora, ten years wiser, leading a peaceful civilization of oddly familiar people. Largely a feel-good, though it contains some intrigue. VERY SoRiku, which you know is good in my book. Also takes a “Where are they now?” perspective at what the lives of the KH ensemble cast might be like ten years after the fact, and expect some really cute and not-so-predictable background ships! It has a sequel, In the Spaces You Left, that concerns Kairi’s history during Sora’s absence and follows her through graduating school, forming a sisterly bond with Naminé, and falling in love with an OC who would become her wife. This one spends more time on the ensemble cast as well, so get ready for some cool worldbuilding on the Land of Departure and Destiny Islands as well as catching up with the rest of the Keybearer crew.

Riku’s Disposition Has Changed To: by PuppyGuppy managed to figure out before canon did that Riku is still Sora’s Dream Eater and should be able to locate him easily. Riku goes on a poetic, imagery-filled quest through the Final World and the Realm of Darkness to find Sora’s soul and bring him home. Another SoRiku. Includes Riku gaining permanent monster features (including wings), Sora dealing with PTSD, and the cutest bonding scene to end on that you ever did see!

You can tell I’m a SoRiku shipper. But if you want to see how I think SoKai should be done, take a look at To All the Worlds I’ve Written Before by AppleSoda. This is the Kairi-centric fic you’ve been waiting for. As the main quest goes on in the background, Kairi and Lea find themselves on their own little adventure when Kairi’s letters accidentally get mailed and she realizes she has to intercept her love confession to Sora before he can read it. What started as trying to get her letter back turns into Kairi dueling Organization XIII, befriending a few Disney heroines, teaming up with Riku for the Maleficent showdown we needed, and actually explaining a logical way to bring Xion back. AppleSoda also has a SoRiku fic, The Keyblade Master’s Guide to Journaling, which isn’t very far in but has already given the Frozen plotline of KHIII a major facelift, and another Kairi-centric series, Data and Dreams, which concerns Kairi taking her Mark of Mastery DDD-style in order to gain the means to bring Sora back home after III and running into several members of the ensemble cast in the Sleeping Worlds.

Dolorem et Consolationem actually doesn’t count as a fix fic, strictly speaking, but I’m including it here because it entertained me far more than III despite being canon-compliant. This fic is pure, undiluted IsaLea shipfic, traveling from Lea’s suicidal feelings of regret to the moments of comfort and domesticity shared between the two after moving in together in Radiant Garden to their adoption of a Found Family of Roxas, Naminé, Xion, and a dog. Mostly just ship development, but a lot of the ensemble cast turns up, and there is an undercurrent of intrigue regarding a mission to the World That Never Was to tie up loose ends.

And I’ve saved the most esoteric for last. Yes, this person is my friend, but this fic is also really, really good...though it’s not strictly a Kingdom Hearts fic so much as a fic that uses Kingdom Hearts lore for a backdrop for multicrossover shenanigans. Quite a Glittering Assemblage by @gavillain is a Maleficent-centric fic that features our favorite spurned faery gathering a team of Disney villains, Marvel villains, and some villains who just fit the right aesthetic despite having no Disney association in order to create a team strong enough to bring down the Thirteen Vessels of Darkness before they even get the chance to start a Keyblade War, given that Xehanort really, really made Maleficent angry. Expect villain protags, squad goals, and black comedy. The first fic is the only one that really acts as a fixer for KH canon, but if you liked it and want to continue the adventure, GAvillain is currently on the third work in the Quite a Glittering Assemblage series! (Oh, and there’s enough background SoRiku that if you’re still here for that ship, you’ll be well-fed, but arguably more importantly, if you were sad that Hades and Maleficent didn’t get along in III, well, they’re a primary ship in this series, so rejoice!)

Anyway, hoping somebody finds something of interest here! Happy reading! And KH fans, let’s keep continuing to kick canon’s ass!

Trials of Mana remake liveblogging (4/...)

New game plus liveblogging. My new party is Charlotte, Kevin, Hawkeye.

This is my first time doing a real run-through with Charlotte as the main character. Her opening is unique among the main six because she doesn’t actually go to Jadd where the other five converge. The Meridian Child credit roll also doesn’t go over a sea voyage like it does with the other five because she’s already located in Wendel.

Having Charlotte and Hawkeye in the same party is pretty wild because Charlotte is the most immature of the six and Hawkeye is the most mature (Charlotte is also the shortest and Hawkeye the tallest, if I’m not mistaken -- yep, this confirms it). It definitely gives off the impression that Hawkeye is her babysitter rather than a teammate, lol.

Kevin is also pretty immature, but it’s a bit offset by the fact that he’s level 70-something and 1-jab KOing everything...

My partner is so amused by how everything Hawkeye says/does is accompanied by a model shot.

Finished up the last Li’l Cactus sightings. Li’l Cactus’s accessory and the Love of Mana chain ability are incredible. Makes it easy to speed through the dungeons.

I’m already at the Windstone and level 20-something due to the Love of Mana exp booster. So I upgraded Charlotte to Priestess (light), Kevin to Brawler (dark side this time -- with Charlotte, we won’t need his healing anyway), and Hawkeye to Ranger (light, since in the Collection of Mana playthrough I went dark).

Me: We should go light since we went dark last time. My partner: Ninja looks cooler, though... Me: I agree, that’s why we picked Ninja last time, lol. (But seriously, Hawkeye’s light classes look so dorky.)

That scene where Hawkeye rescues Riesz from Bil and Ben was very shippy.

Charlotte has the CUTEST reaction to being turned into a ghost.

There is also some very slight Charlotte/Kevin shippiness after being rescued by Vuscav where Kevin calls Vuscav cute and then Charlotte says Kevin needs glasses if he doesn’t think she’s a hundred times cuter than Vuscav.

Kevin’s Brawler costume is very cute. I like it a lot.

It’s weird how if Angela isn’t in your party (especially if Charlotte is the main character and therefore misses Jadd), she just... never shows up in the game??? That seems so odd.

This is the first time I’ve ever gotten Flammie and Riesz *wasn’t* in my party. It looks like Faerie will recall the existence of the Winged Guardian and your character will point you toward Laurent.

I like Charlotte’s voice. She sounds confident but also cute. “What can I say? I’m a natuwaw.” Hawkeye’s voice is also pretty good, but he has a deep voice and a high voice and seems to switch between them suddenly in a way that’s jarring. Playing again has made me realize I don’t like Faerie’s voice. In terms of pitch/tone, it’s fine, sounds like a cute fairy, but in terms of the delivery and emphasis in each line, the choices are really odd and never sound like how you’d expect that line to be read -- for example, timid and lackluster when it should be determined, or cheerful when it should be serious, etc.

There seems to have been a bug with the ??? Seeds -- I got both of Kevin’s and both of Hawkeye’s items, but none of Charlotte’s, and then started getting repeats at random from there. Welp, time to farm these again.

Oh wow, Kevin’s ending that I got last game, I encountered after giving the Sword of Mana to Goremand in Ferolia. I followed the king out behind the throne room and Kevin confronted him like he did in his ending last game. Curious to know what his ending will be like, then.

I got my second class change. I went with Sage (Light Dark) for Charlotte, Enlightened (Dark Light) for Kevin, and Rogue (Light Dark) for Hawkeye (because Nomad looks SO BAD OMG, but also because Rogue’s skillset seemed interesting to me).

OMG, Kevin’s Suzaku Aerial is amazingly badass, especially when he’s in wolf form. He howls at the end of it, too. So cute ToT

It took a while, but I finally got Lightgazer to turn my party into moogles. Awww.

If you go Charlotte/Kevin’s route, Dryad gets to be useful. Neat!

I like the look and enemy set of the Jungle of Visions. This rabite maze is quite cool too. The Darkstone / Zable Fahr isn’t very congruent with the jungle, though.

Oh man, this mirage Astoria is DARK.

So is this plotline involving Heath and the Masked Mage!! Poor Charlotte! She’s so cute but her storyline is so sad!!!

Okay Kevin’s ending in this branch is much better. It’s still not great but at least it doesn’t spring “Karl is alive actually” on you and then leaves it at that. And Kevin here does come to challenge his father but decides not to.

I like how Charlotte is a bit of a crybaby. So CUTE. Also, the way she refers to the rest of the party as “recruits”, lmao.

*sees Angela in the ending credits* I don’t know her.

Was Heath also in the ending credits in my last playthrough...? I don’t remember. It’s interesting that a lot of the scenes in the ending could be seen as either set after the game or set before everything Goes Wrong in each character’s storyline.

Revisiting Kevin’s orb quest: “I have a wife and kid to get back to in Mintas after all.” -- I just realized this is the husband of the woman in Mintas complaining that her husband joined Gauser’s war.

“Ludgar let us rampage through the human towns and I hurt a lot of people...but it didn’t help my anger. Now I just feel empty inside.” -- this extra coda really does help flesh out Kevin’s ending.

“Ludgar’s never around anymore. I guess he’s off training in the woods some more. Isn’t he strong enough already?” -- the other Beastmen don’t know what happened to Ludgar!

I like how Kevin doesn’t get angry at people calling him weak but gets angry when people call Ludgar weak.

Oh cool, last time, I didn’t even notice this statue at the base of Chartmoon Tower that teleports you up to the top. How convenient!

I was a bit worried about this boss battle because Kevin no longer has healing spells, but with Moon Saber, he’s a self-healing machine so nothing to worry about after all.

Hawkeye’s orb quest: I like how Hawkeye’s quest involves more Jessica and Eagle content. You get to see so little of them at the beginning.

I like how Kevin was the one to impetuously poke at this trapped treasure box. This whole cave and trapped treasure has a very Arabian Nights vibe (maybe helped by Hawkeye’s Rogue costume).

I’m getting a shippy Hawkeye/Eagle vibe from Hawkeye’s quest. I wasn’t expecting that!

Charlotte’s orb quest: I thought it’d be in Wendel, but looks like it’s in Dior / Wandara Woods.

I like how Charlotte has two fairly pre-eminent grandpas.

Riesz’s orb boss: giant bee. Hawkeye’s: giant mimic box. Charlotte’s: giant zombie (kind of random).

The High Priestess tech, OMG -- Charlotte’s poses, her dorky dancing, omg. It’s... it’s perfect. 🤩

Hawkeye’s Wardenkeep tech is okay but single target so not so useful for clearing mobs. Kevin’s Annihilator tech is also okay (I like how he gets blasted backward at the end of it), but it’s not as cool as Suzaku Aerial.

I started playing as Hawkeye for a while because Charlotte’s strength is too low and her attack magic so limited that it was making killing stuff quite tedious. The Wardenkeep look suits him, and I like how elegant all his movements are, from jumping and landing, to running, to using his daggers.

I’m not having very good luck with getting the equipment I want from these seeds...

It’s interesting in this game how close light/dark holy/unholy elements are to each other: Charlotte able to be a holy priestess or a necromancer; Heath/Tainted Soul having both holy and dark spells; there being a Priest of Light and a Priest of Dark; a lot of zombies and undead showing up in dark versions of Wendel; etc.

Okay! Finished this playthrough. What party will I do next...

Heyo! Found this delightful little page surfing for more DA content (again; thanks trailer) and thought I'd try an ask! Could I request reactions of all the DA:I companions to an Inquisitor that has been nothing but focused and serious about the whole thing just suddenly finding the cutest random object (like an abandoned music box) and going completely fan girl/boy over it for a few moments before remembering they're not alone? Thank you much and looking forward to your work!

Sent in by @bottastic0201 !!

((Oof, I deviated a bit from the ask, hope you don't mind! Also didn't include Blackwall cause I don't know his character to well yet as I never really had him as part of my party. Not to fear, he will be added later on!))

Cassandra: After the demon fight at the Temple of Sacred Ashes, Cassandra always had a certain respect for the Inquisitor, despite their poor first impressions. They took the Inquisition's cause very seriously, and were focused on closing the Breach perhaps even more so than she was. Of course, that didn’t stop the Seeker from at least chuckling at the sight of the Inquisitor fawning over a fancy little elven music box they found when exploring Skyhold, tucked away in some corner long covered in dust. They were exploring the lover levels of the grand fortress together, though Cassandra guessed they forgot she was even there whenever they spotted the little thing. It was made out of a black, sleek wood, and covered in carvings of wolves and halla with golden accents for the wolves’ eyes and the halla’s horns. Cassandra cleared her throat, arms crossed over her chest and a light smile playing at her lips. “Found something you like, Inquisitor?” The blush that crept onto their face was worth the little tease, and she had to promise them not to tell any of the others. If this little scene did manage to make it into one of Varric’s new books, she certainly wasn’t the one who told him.

Varric: Varric had to say that, in his time of both writing and following heroes, the Inquisitor was probably the most… Efficient one the dwarf had encountered. Sure, being driven to save the world from becoming ass deep in demons and corrupted with red lyrium was certainly commendable, though he did find himself missing Hawke’s snarky comebacks and sassy remarks. The Inquisitor was a serious leader, and didn’t usually humor his, well, humor. However, whenever the two stumbled across a little gold and white painted music box in a random part of the ass end of nowhere and the Inquisitor let out a little squeal at the sight, the dwarf couldn’t help but laugh. “Really, Stiffy? That’s what cracks you? A music box?” His gruff voice reminded the Inquisitor of his presence, and the blush of embarrassment that followed just made the dwarf grin. When they asked him to keep this little scene out of his book, all they got in return was a wider grin and a wink.

Solas: Before this little incident, Solas had a pretty neutral opinion of the Inquisitor. They were focused and did their assigned role well, and he couldn’t complain much about their serious demeanor. To be the Inquisitor was a hard task, and he understood what they had to carry on their shoulders and the face they had to put on for nobles and pretty courts. After all, he had the same weight on his shoulders, as well as a face of his own. Unlike a few of the more boisterous companions the Inquisitor has taken under their metaphorical wing, Solas doesn't interrupt them whenever they spot a charming little Dalish themed music box while combing through the Exalted Plains. He watches them fawn over the little wooden thing, running their fingers over the raven and bear carvings all over its surface. They pouted slightly once they realized the small box no longer played music, the handle broken and the gears inside probably long since rusted, and placed the pretty thing into their bag. “Shall we move on then, Inquisitor?”If this is after his personal quest ‘All New, Faded for Her’, and they tried to help his corrupted friend, the Inquisitor will find a new music box on the desk in their quarters. It is covered with delicate little designs of wolves and elves, obviously drawn by Solas’ hand, and when it’s golden handle is turned it plays a lovely tune that the Inquisitor is humming for days afterwards.

Sera: First impressions of the Inquisitor? A stuck up nob with too many sticks up their back-end mouth. They’re not fun to joke with, absolutely no help in pranking, and don’t appreciate a good bee nest inside of a training dummy. Sure, being serious was good and all, and being focused on what you want to do is fine, though Sera finds herself a little aggravated with them after a short time. Unlike most of the others, she was not exploring with the Inquisitor when she spotted them gushing over some slightly beat up doll in the middle of Redcliffe, though she was planning on pranking them with a good pie. However, whenever she spotted them holding the doll with the cheesiest smile on their face, cradling the small thing against their chest, Sera almost couldn’t handle it. She almost fell off of the roof she was spying on them from because of laughing so hard, which, or course, startled the Inquisitor to no end, and instead of being embarrassed they were almost terrified at the quirky elf’s barking laughter. “A doll?! You’re just putting me on, right? It’s a doll and you’re smiling at it like it’s just watered your damn crops!” Sera spoke in between laughing, and in the end, her pie ended up ruined all over the roof as she jumped down to the Inquisitor’s level. It becomes a constant thing she teases the Inquisitor about, and it’s not long before the rest of the Inner Circle knows.

Dorian: Dorian is not an unreasonable man. All he wants is a nice glass of wine in the morning, some decent fucking literature, and an Inquisitor who at least humors his jester personality just a tad more than the current one does. They dismiss any of his playful flirting and sarcastic comments, and suddenly that one glass of wine turns into two. It’s not that he minds them being extremely driven- Far from it, actually, though he wished that their devotion also came with a little sense of humor. So one can imagine how unimaginably pleased the ‘Vint was whenever they came across a pretty little mabari figurine at the Winter Palace. They were supposed to be looking for some halla statues or something to open a door in their way, and instead, found a golden painted dog in one of the guest rooms. While Dorian thought it would be more fitting to find in Ferelden, the Inquisitor was overly pleased to have found it at all. The dog had a golden chain attached to it, and it wasn’t long before it was around the Inquisitor’s neck and they were standing in front of the best mirror they could find to see how it looked. “I personally think drakestone would suit you better. Really brings out your eyes.”Dorian spoke casually as he stepped behind the Inquisitor, looking at their reflection in the mirror as they nearly screamed at his. The flushed look on their face and wide eyes were more than enough of a reward for his teasing, and he spent a lot of their time left at the Palace making similar comments.

Vivienne: Similar to Solas, Vivienne’s initial reaction to the Inquisitor was pretty neutral. They were serious in the work that they did and driven to rid the world of this nightmare, so she had a certain respect for them for taking the role as leader of the Inquisition in stride. She didn’t have a problem with their serious demeanor, and it made speaking to them much more tolerable than speaking to someone like Cole or Sera, who were either too cryptic or too aggravating to understand. Whenever they did find a little pretty trinket and the Inquisitor all but gushed over it, she found it almost charming. A powerful, grand person of power absolutely fawning over a wooden doll was almost unbelievable, yet here they were. They were shopping in Val Royeaux when the Inquisitor spotted the doll, and Vivienne felt a little pity for them. After all, the Inquisition’s money was always tight, and a doll was seemingly worthless in the grand scheme of their cause. With a gentle sigh, Vivienne stepped forwards and bought the wooden thing with her own money, which rewarded her with another smile from the Inquisitor. “No need to thank me, my dear. Do keep that out of Sera’s reach, though. I fear she may end up breaking it.”While it was nice to have a devoted leader, they still needed their reasons to smile. Vivienne was many things, and cruel wasn’t one of them. Bluntly honest? Maybe. But never cruel.

Iron Bull: Having a serious leader such as the Inquisitor was somewhat of a change for The Iron Bull. Having been with his boys for so long took away a lot of the seriousness from his own personality, so it was a bit of a difficult transition. They didn’t seem to care for his beautifully crafted puns and endearing nicknames, and was nothing but straight to the point when invited to drink with him and his boys. Bull understood that certain jobs needed to be taken with a certain amount of committedness, though it was a bit of a damper whenever they didn’t respond to a joke or laugh at his foolish nicknames. So, whenever his favorite ‘Vint and lieutenant Krem made a stuffed nug for the Inquisitor to hopefully lighten their mood, Bull was the one to volunteer to give it to them. He brought it to them right after him and the Inquisitor slayed their first dragon together as a ‘congratulations’ for the kill. They eyed the nug carefully before taking it away from Bull, giving him a curt ‘Thank you’ before closing the door to their quarters. He was a little disappointed with their reaction, as he knew Krem would be, though before he left he heard the most suspicious of noises from inside of the Inquisitor’s room. He grinned as he realized the Inquisitor was squealing over their gift, and he swore he could hear them speaking to the stuffed nug as well. “I’ll tell Krem you liked his gift!”Bull called through the door, and the sudden silence was enough to make him laugh. He brought the good news to his boys (And Varric), and they drank over a good kill and finally being able to know what makes the Inquisitor tick.

Cole: Cole didn’t know what to think of the Inquisitor at first. They were bright- Even without the mark they were bright and blinding and good. He didn’t really understand why Sera and some of the others got aggravated at them whenever they were so devoted to sealing the Breach and helping people. He knew they didn’t laugh as much as the others did, but it was only because they didn’t know when to laugh.She grins, a joke meant to be laughed at and shared, but they don’t. An odd look, then embarrassed, but it’s too late to do what they were meant to do, and the joke is ruined.It brings him joy when they find the music box Solas left for them because it makes them happy. It sings a song belonging to skulls and paints a story they don’t know, but they still love it.Winding, winding until it’s wound and sings. It’s so like him, so strange yet so harmonious, like a wolf howling to the sun. How long did it take him? Days, weeks? So pretty yet so tedious- Have to thank him later. Cole doesn’t interrupt them, and instead, watches passively as they hold the box in their lap and hum along to it, the stress of their day melting as the music plays.

(I hope you're having a good day) what's puyo puyo?

Im having an alright day! I hope you’re having a nice day!!

im sorry for how long this is going to get

Short base info; Puyo Puyo is a Puzzle game series originally made by Compile but eventually was bought and is now owned by Sega. The game play is connecting blobs, puyo, of different colors. if you connect 4 or more of them you pop them and you can set up chains. The games include the cast from Compiles RPG series; Madou Monogatari

now lore wise.

Puyo is about a young girl named Arle Nadja, Arle is the reincarnation of Lilith, a human soldier who created a world to escape a god who favored demons (basically, magic beings that arent human in this universe) during a battle that the lore refers to as Ragnarok. Lillith was the friend of Lucifer who was out cast by god and was stripped of his wings and his name and now goes by the name “Satan”. Anyways, Arle is a young girl (Shes 16) whos real good at magic and hates Satan, she can and will kill him. In Madou Arle goes on a quest collecting gems? I think? Im bad with madou lore. Anyways one of them is carbuncle i think and so she takes carbuncle who was originally Satan and he wants his pet back and keeps pursuing arle to get him back. 

Along her adventures, she meets such great characters such as Rulue, a martial artist who thinks satan is a hot fucking piece of ass (he saved her when she was younger) and will do anything to impress him. Schezo Wegey who is a cursed immortal dark mage whos not great with speaking and got decapitated by arle in MM2 but he got better. Draco Centaurus whos a dragon woman obsessed with beauty and being the cutest. And Langnus Bisashi an over the top hero from another dimension cursed to keep fighting to keep up his 17 year old form (if he doesnt he becomes 10 again), to name just a few. 

Im a lil spotty on the contents of madou since theyre not,, translated in the slightest but- in the original Puyo Puyo Arle made a spell that using the energy of 4 or more same colored enemies (puyos) she could defeat satan so she goes on her merry way to kick in his teeth in with that. So thats what made the jump from MM to PP

Anyways, the series got rebooted in 2003 with Puyo Puyo Fever (Puyo Pop Fever over here). It was the first one localized for us other than a puyo puyo arcade port so thats neat. it features a new protag named Amitie, whos a sweet and energetic girl who wants to be a powerful wizard. I love her dearly. She hangs out with her classmates a lot featuring Klug, a book worm know it all who got possessed in Fever 2, Sig a half demon boy who loves bugs and is a bit quiet, Raffina a tough rich girl whos amities rival, and Liddle whos a sweet and shy little angel. The games were a lot more light hearted lore wise than the mm gangs nonsense but still used fantasy elements and story telling it was good and bright and nice to look at. but it wasnt the last time they felt it needed to be rebooted

In 2009 the series was rebooted again with Puyo Puyo 7. This time with Ringo Andou as the protag. the old cast and crew are still there they just are focusing on the Suzuran kids. Ringo, and her friends Maguro and Risukuma. They have to fight a dimension hopping weirdo- Ecolo. Ecolos just kinda annoying tho. hes like comprised of squishy material, i say jello but who knows. Ecolo possessed arle and tried to cover the world in puyo because why the fuck not. 

So like they have kept it going with the current kinda big cast with anniversary games and what not. They had the noticeable cross over of Puyo Puyo Tetris. Puyotet is a personal fave and also the easiest to acquire over here. its on the switch and steam please play ppt. anyways. The game is the original cast but the dimensions are merging with the tetris universe and so the Tetra crew hangs out with the cast. the Crew consists of Tee, the captain and tetris king who in his own words is “a responsible person, and up to the task!” he loves his crew dearly. The engineer, Ai, a dog person whos very skittish and scared about everything. he cries a lot but is very refined and kind when not scared out of his mind. Their navigator Ess whos a bratty teen who picks fights with everyone and heckles Tee a lot, she loves her papa but hates her dad. The care taker Zed, a kind and patient robot who ess affectionately calls her “Papa”, he takes care of the crew. the communication officer O, whos.. uh. hes an orb i dont know how hes communication officer. And then Jay and Elle, I dont know what they do other than bully Ai. Anyways the Best Gang with the rest of the cast goes off to find out why the fuck worlds are merging and it shows you best boy, Ex keeper of dimensions. He’s Ess’ dad and is very very depressed and lonely bc the keeper is a role of solitude and isolation. Its okay tho we love and support him

This probably makes no sense and I am sorry I have a lot of love in my heart for puzzle game.

Little brother Tsubaki is the cutest thing ever and this post is literally just about that.

Happy family!AUs are everybody's guilty pleasure here. We just want all Servamps to be happy siblings loving each other a lot and accepting Tsubaki as a part of their weird family. But... can we please take a moment to think about Tsubaki?

If one ignores the tiny, insignificant detail that he would slay his siblings one by one (like I said: not important, everything can be solved with a hug and a heartfelt apology), if the Servamps actually acted like a proper family... Tsubaki would be the most loyal brother ever. Okay, he would be an annoying brat pulling not-funny-but-very-annoying pranks on his older siblings all the time, but we all saw how much he values his canon family, his Subclasses. He went on a quest to save Lilac, who is not one of the closest friends he has, who is not good in combat - so he is technically useless, but he wanted to save him because he cares about every single one of his Subclasses. So imagine how protective he could be of his siblings.

He'd go out of his way to make them happy, and even if his antics are weird and he is not always the support one needs/wants, he'd be there. He'd make sure to spend time with everybody even when he is an unwanted guest (because what is personal space? Your little brother comes to visit and you want to be alone? Unheard of and absolutely not acceptable).

He'd organize regular meetups and he will send Higan to drag your ass there if you pretend you are sick, Kuro. He'd send embarassing texts and selfies. He'd take awkward photos of everybody and share them on the chat group he created because what's shame? We are a family, there's no space for shame here! Jeje, trying to block his number is useless, he'll buy one million sim cards if necessary (or come visit you with a menacing and scary grin).

He will wish a happy birthday to everybody because he remembers every single date and HE WILL START A WAR IF THEY FORGET HIS BIRTHDAY AND DON'T GET HIM A CUTE GIFT (because he would still hate being forgotten). He would take sides in fights and when in doubt, Hyde is wrong.

HE'D PROBABLY TRY TO BOND WITH THE EVES OF HIS SIBLINGS EVEN IF HE WOULD GLADLY STAB HALF OF THEM PROBABLY. Especially Mikuni. Oh, and Mahiru, that greedy Subclass-stealing bit-BEAUTIFUL creature. Okay, maybe he isn't very good at getting along with humans, but he is trying and his siblings should appreciate the effort. And anyway, he and Mahiru's uncle are officially bffs and he is invited for dinner.

He'd probably also try to get his two families get along. Higan is ready to get along with Hyde any moment, because he is a chill guy. Hyde tried to stab Higan. Maybe next time it'll go better if they chain Hyde somewhere.

He'd play games with Kuro and then break the controller on his head when he loses. He'd make fun of Hugh for being short (years of being teased by his Subclasses does that to you). He'd steal Jeje's precious paperbags to draw silly faces on them. He'd put camellias in Freya's beautiful hair, and ruin Hyde's dramatical quotes with sarcastic remarks, and give World End food in exchange of favours (it works), and help Lily babysit the kids under the promise of not scaring them (once. Then he started laughing and he was banned from the Alicein household forever). He'd be the damn brattiest and cutest little brother and please don't forget that in your AUs. Love ya all.

(My God what a long rant, and I am on mobile so I can't even use the read more. I am sorry. I just love him too much.)

After taking Castellum Velodyna and making sure you’ve done a few side quest chains in Castrum Oriens and the Peering Stones, M’rahz Nunh has a message for you from Sarisha, broodmother of our Vira friends. Sarisha wants her young daughter, Alpa, to come home and begin taking up her responsibilities as Sarisha’s successor now that the Garleans are driven out of the Fringes.

Alpa, however, is a member of the Resistance, and while she’s not a frontline fighter herself, she has been given command of the Velodyna Gatekeepers, a mostly-Ananta unit of smiths and warriors meant to keep the bridge secure for the safety of both Gyr Abania and the Twelveswood. Sarisha makes a deal: Alpa succeeds in her mission to fortify Velodyna and make it a successful Resistance base by the time Sarisha’s done molting, or the broodmother is dragging her daughter home to take up her duties to the Vira.

Alpa is only a little bigger than her second in command/mentor on striders, J’olhmyn. She is the cutest sneeple. I am interested if some of the dialogue changes for Dark, who has finished the 4.0 MSQ, versus PunchyCat, who still needs to liberate Ala Mhigo.

A special for "Bowser Day 2017"

NOTE: this is an update of the same post made the previous day with various typos corrected in my spare time. It was pointed out yesterday in a private message that apparently yesterday’s particular date is known as “Bowser Day”. It was explained to me what Bowser Day is. This is news to me, lol! But I thought of something - since yesterday was apparently Bowser Day, I’ve decided to share something special on here. I was originally going to share this yesterday on the day itself, but I’m afraid I just wasn’t able to due to my busy schedule. So here it is today instead. ;) The following is an actual planned future portion of my “Long-Haired Luigi” comic strip that I haven’t drawn yet. I’m going to give you guys a “sneak peek” by sharing it in story form (it will, of course, be completely illustrated for the comic strip far later down the road). And, of course, it stars Bowser. Thise of you familiar with kitchy, spoofy sixties movies might recognize what this whole bit is aping… but even if you don’t get the joke, I hope all of you observing Bowser Day still enjoy it! ;D (P.S. I don’t have time for my best writing or correcting typos, so please excuse any you find.) - Cackletta, of course, cackled at her remarkably excellent fortune. Here, plotting away in her new hideout as she gloated, she would not only get to take over The Mushroom Kingdom, but this new land called California as well. She entered the automatic door to her main chamber, where some of her assistants were busy overseeing a large metal, tablelike disc with only a single centered leg below to support it off the floor. On top of the huge disc lay Bowser. Lying on his back spread-eagled, his shell removed and stored only heaven knew where, his wrists and ankles bound to the disc’s surface by solid metal bands, and looking pissed as all get out, Bowser was the very picture of outrage. “Leave us!” Cackletta commanded her servants, who all obediently took their leave, leaving the vile witch alone with her captive. Bowser could barely contain himself. “ALLLLL-right, I DEMAND to know, just WHAT is the MEANING of this… this… STUNT???!” he bellowed at her. “WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO ME???” Cackletta approached the side of his disc and explained gleefully, her voice rising more and more with ridiculous overenthusiasm, “Simple! Out of all the villains, YOU are EASILY the most desirable, and *I* have a HUGE ***CRUSH*** ON YOOOOU!!!” as she placed her face cheek to cheek with his, beaming a ridiculous toothy smile. This instantly caused Bowser to wince, his nose wrinkling as he sarcastically remarked while rolling his eyes away from her direction, “Oh GOODY. Lucky me.” Cackletta leaned up, giggling. “Oh, come now, don’t be like that!” she playfully scolded him in what was obviously intended to be in a cutesy fashion. “Why, you should be HONOURED to know that you have been chosen by the future ruler of this present existence!” Glaring at her, Bowser asked as calmly as he could, “And is this what you ALWAYS do to every single guy who catches your eye?” “Yes, of course! I strip them naked, then tie them up!!!” “Classy.” “Yes, isn’t it?” areed Cackletta enthusiastically, completely missing Bowser’s irony. “So FAR much more adventurous than ANYTHING that Princess Peach would do! Plus I outmatch her AND her appearance ANY day!” At that point Bowser couldn’t help himself. He simply started laughing. Cackletta suddenly stopped short. “And just what the heck are you laughing at?” Bowser giggled, “Oh nothing, I was just wondering, have you SEEN yourself in the mirror, lately?” Cackletta crossed her arms. “And just what is THAT supposed to mean?” “Well, you should. You’re a pathetic, weird, ridiculous, insignificant little excuse for a monster, that’s all!” “Are you saying that you actually find that blonde airheaded goody-goofy more attractive than I am?” “Who, Peach?” Bowser's eyes couldn’t helped glazing over at the mere thought of his beloved. “She’s a REAL woman, the cutest chick in town! I mean WOW, is she hot or WHAT?” Cackletta scoffed at the idea. “Hmpf! WELL, for your information, anything SHE can do, *I* can do better!!!” She immediately stormed over to what appeared to be some kind of karaoke machine. Bowser’s eyes widened in alarm, “Oh gods NO, PLEASE don’t tell me you’re gonna—!!!” But it was too late. Cacklette spent the next few minutes torturing Bowser with a screechingly atrocious performance of Madonna’s “Like A Virgin”. This has all got to be a bad dream, Bowser couldn’t help hoping to himself. Nothing exists that could torture a prisoner more than what he was being put through. Nothing! Cackletta then overenthusiastically rushed over to the object of her desire for his personal evaluation. “WELL???" Bowser eyed her. “Trust me. You don’t want my honest opinion.” “Too overwhelmed with desire for words, huh?” She started seductively playing with his hair, an action which annoyed Bowser to no end. “Well of course, that NOW means that it’s time for YOU to sing a song for ME!” Bowser turned green with nausea. “Does it, now.” “But of COURSE!!!” she cooed. “Even *I* know by now what a lovely, golden bass tone you have!” “Thrillsville.” “Come on, let’s have it!” “And if I don’t?" “Well then, in THAT case…” Cackletta cackled evilly, “…I’ll ZAP you and turn you into a PREGNANT FEMALE!” Bowser’s eyes grew wide with terror for the first time. He started to sweat nervously. “If… if I do, will you keep quiet?” “But of COURSE!” Bowser cleared his throat the best he could. Then, trying to ignore the ludicrousness of attempting to sing while held prisoner strapped to a giant metal disc table by a drooling witch, he began singing the best he could under such stressful circumstances in his best seductive tone Dusty Springfield’s “The Look of Love”. It wouldn’t have been quite so bad, actually, if it were not for the fact that Cackletta was insisting on swinging and swaying all over the place to every single note he sang — and at one pointed when he reached the words, “I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you…”, he nearly gagged and puked when she suddenly flung her arms around his head and shoulders, pressing his cheek to hers with her eyes beaming sideways at him. There MUST be some way out of this mess, Bowser thought to himself. I’ve GOT to get out of here to warn Luigi and the girls! _ Meanwhile, back in the lounge as the suspicious looking suit-clad fellow was sitting at his table… Luigi admired Princess Peach’s remarkably convincing costume; an outlandish ‘60s-esque frock topped with an enormous black chiffon wig. "You’re pretending to be an enemy spy is a stroke of genius, Peach, but… are you sure you’re acting chops are up to the job?” “Don’t worry,” she assured the others. “I was once considered one of the tops in acting plays in my college years. I can’t see this as being any different.” “Sure hope you’re right,” said Daisy. “But just remember; anything go wrong, call the calvary and we come charging in.” “You got it.” And with that, Peach was off on her way out into the heart of the lounge, walking as seductively as she could manage. “If she can only just get him to spill the beans long enough to find out what’s going on here… and who’s got Bowser…” Daisy muttered, her teeth clenching. “I hate to say this, but it makes me mad enough that I almost wish that I had the nerve to go rushing in there, just twist the guy’s arm and get it out of him myself.” “I don’t blame you, Daisy,” Luigi replied softly. “But let’s stay low for now. We don’t want to cause any more commotion we don’t have to if we can help it.” The odd, suspicious-looking fellow suddenly jolted upward with delighted shock at the sight of the costumed Princess Peach approaching him. “Well, well, WELL! And just who do I have the present pleasure of meeting?” he inquired of her. Peach flicked little sides of her wig as she spoke with the purring voice of a foreign seductive temptress. “My name is Casino Royale.” - Meanwhile, back with poor Bowser… “OK! THERE! I sang your song, you happy now?” “Oh yes, most definitely!” Cackletta cooed, “and now I can begin discussing with you my plans for world domination!” “Hey, wait a sec! You said you’d stay quiet if I sang you a song!” “But I DID stay quiet!” she replied gleefully. “Sing another one and I’ll be quiet again!” Bowser groaned, straining not to sound too exasperated. “And while I’m at it,” she added as she strolled over to a small display table, “let me demonstrate to you another example of my brilliance! Peach could NEVER top THIS!” She held high what appeared to be a tiny round pill. Bowser raised an eyebrow. “And just what is that supposed to be?” “ONLY the most brilliant secret weapon anyone has ever concocted! It looks like an aspirin. It tastes like an aspirin. But it isn’t an aspirin.” “It’s your birth control?” Bowser asked hopefully. “Don’t be funny. I’m deathly serious. The moment an unsuspecting dupe swallows this pill, it sets off a chain reaction within their genetic makeup, immediately causing exactly 1,000,000 cells within their body to each become ultrapowerful explosives, transforming the victim into a walking bomb. One by one, each little bomb will explode within their body, and once they are all detonated, the worst sort of explosion will occur, enough to level a mountain!” She smiled triumphantly at the very thought, adding, “It is also spell resistant, potion resistant, cure resistant, antidote resistant to anything and everything, making it absolutely FOOLPROOF!” “WHOA. That’s… pretty devious,” Bowser was forced to admirably admit. It also gave him an idea. “Isn’t it, though? I plan on creating several of them in order to easily do away with all of my enemies in my quest to rule all the lands,” she explained as she walked over behind Bowser’s shoulders, gently placing her long, thorny fingers upon them strokingly. “How would you like to rule by my side?” Bowser did his best to look devious, just like he did in the old days. “Why not?” “What do you mean, 'why not’? You have all of my brilliance and infallible plans right here at your disposal with me. Unless, of course…” she looked with mock concern into his face, “… you simply no longer have the stomach for it.” “Oh, I don’t know,” Bowser lied. He was positive that he sounded convincing; after all, he used to lie quite masterfully all the time way back when. “I think I’m beginning to feel a few… TWITCHES of good old-fashioned EVIL stirring inside of me… you’re simply TOO vile a partner for me to resist and pass up!” “Now you’re talking, Bowser!” Cackletta then strolled over to some sort of large storage closet, opened it, retrieved Bowser’s shell, and carried it over to him. “Here,” she said, resting it leaning against the edge of the disc. “Slip into this.” Bowser’s eyes lit up. “You mean—?” “I do!” she said as she proceeded to start unfastening the koopa king’s bonds. “Oh, WOW, thank you!” he practically yelped in relief, partially due to his being set free, but also to sound convincingly submissive. Once he was able to stand up, he picked up his shell, holding it in front of himself. “Just turn around a second, willya? I’m kinda shy.” “But of course, DAAAH-ling,” she twittered as she turned her back to him. “But hurry! Time is of the utmost essence!" Bowser watched her carefully to be certain she wasn’t looking, then quietly snatched up the pill
before putting his shell back on. “Ah! MUCH better!” he breathed in relief. She turned back around, “AAAH, I trust you are now comfortable again! Now we must be off - but first, a TOAST!” She produced a bottle of some strangely evil-looking champagne along with two equally evil-looking champagne glasses with evil-looking sharply crooked stems. Enthusiastically, she filled both, then turned and handed one to Bowser. “Ah, so evil in every way! I always adore an evil dame!” Bowser snarled in pretend swooning as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her, all the while managing to secretly plop the pill into the witch’s glass. When he finally released her, she breathed, “Aaaah, this is going to be SO delightful!” She picked up her own glass, clinked it to his, and they both drank deeply. After swallowing, she announced triumphantly, “To my absolute brilliance!” Bowser smirked at her. “AAAAAND you’re VERY special, absolutely BRILLIANT pill!” Cackletta frowned at him. “What are you talking about?” Bowser mimicked her voice sarcastically with, “'It LOOKS like an aspirin, it TASTES like an aspirin, but it ISN’T an aspirin!!!’” He then pointed at her with each following word while beaming openmouthed at her mockingly, “And YOU! JUST! ***SWALLOWED*** IT, LADY!!!” Cackletta stared disbelievingly at him for a moment. Finally, she managed to force out with faux confidence, “Oh, come ON, how gullible do you think I am, you stupid lunkhead?” before her body suddenly emitted a loud, wet-sounding ***FART***. Startled, she froze with realization for a moment. Then she looked in horror down at her own backside. Bowser was smirking while waving the air away in front of his nose. “Peeeeee-EWWW, BOY, you sure give new meaning to the term 'stink bomb’, don'tcha girl?” He struck an exaggerated pose as he pretended to calculate on his fingers. “Let’s see, why I DO believe that makes EXACTLY 999,999 more little bombs left to go! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to warn the others while you’re busy being the local area’s biggest supplier of natural gas!” He dashed to the nearest doorway, pausing just long enough to shout back, “Enjoy your takeover party with your crew! I’m sure they’ll all find you to be a real BLAST!” Then he was gone. Cackletta could only stand still in sheer horror as the depth of the situation sank in. Then she frantically stumbled towards her laboratory wailing, “ALKA-SELTZER!!! PEPTO BISMOL!!! ANY-THIIIIING!!!” - A few minutes later, Cackletta was frantically tossing anything she could get her hands on into a giant cauldron. “Antidote!!! Antidote!!! There MUST be an antidote!!!” ***FART*** She looked horrified. “Only 999, 964 left to GO!!!!!” She stirred and stirred wildly until the large spoon she was using melted. “AUUUUUGHHHHH!!!! MY BRILLIANTLY PERFECT PILL IS SO BRILLIANTLY PERFECT THAT EVEN ***I*** CAN’T COME UP WITH AN ANTIDOTE!!!! AUUUUUUUUGHHHHHH!!!!!" ***FART*** "AUUUGHHH!!! 999,963!!!!!!!” - A while later in a large room where the guards were busy fighting off the local authorities, everyone was suddenly distracted by the surprising sight of Cackletta frantically running through the room from one side in sheer hysterical panic before running out the opposite side. As she did so, they all heard the following: ***FART*** "87,000!!!” ***FART*** “86,999!!!” ***FART*** “86,998!!!” After she had passed through, one guard finally couldn’t help wondering aloud, “What the heck was THAT?!!” “I don’t know,” answered a policeman present, “but whatever it was, it sure STANK high heavens!”
