#cuz real fur is for animals
Note
Could you tell us about grumpy cat Leona in the nonhuman au?
Rubs hands together.
The big grumpy meow-meow that doesn't meow.
Has toe beans and the fur on his body is the same color as his ears and tail.
Ruggie was a little worried at first about you two getting together cuz of possible extra work or you replacing him for stuff, meaning less money to earn but, nah. You keep Leona from overworking him and actually help Ruggie with a lot of things. He is pleased.
It doesn't happen often, but he may roar in his sleep, and this is a real lion roar. He can sleep through it but you and everyone else in the dorm sure as hell can’t. He gets pissy if you wake him up to stop or go to sleep somewhere else. He will also lick you in his sleep.
youtube
It doesn't matter how small you are, he will straight up lay on you and smother you when he feels like it.
He won't tell you but man he loves your praise. So, keep praising his looks, strength, and intelligence. You are probably the only thing that makes him want to put the effort into showing off. It becomes mandatory for you to come to his Spelldrive matches, please, do it for the good of the school.
He’s actually really good about not nicking you with his claws.
Loves to bite, nibble, and scrape his fangs against your skin.
When he first brings you home the first thing his brother blurts out is “Why are they small?” His wife of course scolds him and tells him “You can't just ask humans why they're small!”
Scents you as soon as you are out of the shower, he will also stare right at the person you're talking to as he rubs his chin against the top of your head, scenting you in public.
You will groom his main for him.
He refuses to call your petting...well petting. He keeps calling it grooming. He will be demanding that you do it though. Kind of like those cats that yell and head bonk you until you do it, except he will straight up lay his whole body on you if you try ignoring it. I hope you like being smothered by big meaty lion-man tits.
Leona has lots of good traits but let's all remember that, in canon, Leona in plain terms: is an arrogant and domineering man who’s as prideful as he is lazy. He tends not to waste his energy on those he deems inferior to him and is only willing to cooperate with others if it benefits him in some way. In the same vein, he puts little to no effort into activities that don’t interest him, like when it comes to his studies.
Now don’t get me wrong, he's also the type to see it as unfair and demeaning to treat others differently based on their inherent status, and wants to compete with others on a level playing field. Still, we've seen he isn’t above using underhanded tactics to ensure success. The guy is willing to do whatever it takes to prove himself as a worthy leader, the dominant lion, even if it means playing dirty.
Also stated on the wiki “Leona has stated he is intimidated by the women of the Sunset Savanna because they are much physically stronger and more strong-willed than the men, including himself. Ruggie corroborates this statement. This follows the biology of many savanna animals, such as lions and hyenas, wherein the females are hunters and typically dominant in nature.” and “It's only at Night Raven College, where he's treated as an equal, that Leona attempts to seek the dominion he cannot achieve back home.” 
Now add the extra dominance stuff that goes on with regular lions and add THAT onto a now even more beast-like Leona with his personality and with him actively looking to achieve that dominance plus you being a weak magicless human in a world of big strong beasts. You are not gonna be the one leading this relationship, even if you identify as a girl, cuz you are not a Sunset Savanna one.
Of course, Leona respects you though, he wouldn't have taken you as his mate if he didn't but…he’s a dick.
Now, your role? He expects certain to go like in the wild. You and him are your own pride with Ruggie and Jack being unofficial members. You know how Ruggie brings him food? That’s your task now. “Male lions defend the pride’s territory while females do most of the hunting.” Doesn't matter if you're a dude and…Ha, no he doesn't expect you to actually hunt. But he’s gonna want you to bring him food. (he gives you the money for it and then some, get yourself something nice) Expect his head on your lap, a pleased grin on his face as you hand-feed him.
If you tell him he went too far he’ll back off but…really likes comparing you to him, but in ways that show that he’s bigger and stronger. Teases you about being a weak little herbivore and how easy it would be to eat you.
His tongue has a bit of a rough texture but not nearly as rough as a regular lion's so you don't have to worry about the meat being scraped from your bones by it when he intensely grooms you.
(Talking about his junk and lion mating facts below)
Another thing he shares with his animal counterpart is penile spines, also known as barbs, luckily for you, lion beastmen evolved enough to wear they aren't the painful kind and are more like small nubs. Though they do have a similar reaction of stimulation ovulation and form a “genital lock”, basically it has a cat version of a knot. So, quickies aren't gonna be as quick and you will be subjected to mandatory after-sex cuddles.
As for the whole “going into heat” thing, female lions are only receptive to mating for a brief period, usually lasting three to four days, and they will go at it every 20-30 minutes for as long as the heat lasts. Humans don't go into heat, but the cooch havers do ovulate, which beastmen can in fact smell and will take this as you going into heat and he, unless told no, will react accordingly. Though…even with how he is it would be funny if it’s one of the times instincts kick in cuz…the thing is female lions can be pretty damn aggressive about it so imagine it’s the first time and he’s just laying there expectantly and looking annoyed, wondering why you haven't hopped on top of him and ravaged him yet.
Though another thing with lions is males will mount another male to excerpt dominance so imagine talking too much shit and you end up getting pinned down and humped by a pissed-off Leona.

I bring forth the promissed Tails angst headcanons!!! cuz god forbid I go to sleep on time and stay asleep. Most of these (all of them actually I think) are stolen or derived from works of other people over the time I've spent in this fandom, so y'all are more than welcome to add your own!!
This one got way longer than anticipated
× Not in any particular order, but my favorite one is gotta be that those two brown foxes always seen bulling Tails are his older siblings. "Oh but they don't even look similar!!" Shh Tails has leucism, which brings its own share of problems and an extra mutation to get ostracized for. Buuut the crux of this headcannon is that irl fox family structures work like that. Unlike wolves who playfight with no real harm meant, fox kits engage in lethal baby fights, usually ganging up on the weaker and smaller ones of the litter, while the parents continue doing their best taking care of the ones that remain.
× While the topic of not so great family is up, Tails got his gambling habits from his dad. Before he ended up abandoned in the woods, that was the only way he heard was a "quick and easy" way to make money. And back in the day when Sonic was struggling to make the change, Tails offered to help in any way he could. (This is more wholesome than angst but remember!! Gambling is the ultimate evil of the world!!!) That is to say, speedrunning getting banned from every casino he visited (this is cannon actually)
× Besides many other not exactly ideal horrible things his parents done to him, one of the smaller ones was that they refused to read him bedtime stories. Absolutely fucking not. So he ignored the jealousy he felt towards his siblings and learned to read on his own very, very early on. He also cried the first time Sonic offhandedly offered to read him a story book.
× Tails is really good at hide and seek, specifically the hide part. He had to learn to be good at it if he wanted to avoid another bruise or broken bone. He doesn't really enjoy the role of seeker either, bro still hasn't found his parents (could've worded that more seriously but I'm in a silly goofy mood) as such he also doesn't like the game.
× And he feels the same about Tag. Not a big fan of being chased down for the sole purpose of than being faced with sudden physical contact. I'd say it gets better with time as most of his insecurities do, but he refuses the play as he ages up, he has no time for that!! He's a responsible adult now!! (He's 11)
× He's also really good at swimming cuz he had to learn how to swim, if he didn't want to get drowned multiple times over.
× He likes it best when he's sleeping on an elevated surface since thats where he felt the safest. Because no one would think to look for an animal who's most adapted to dig a burrow up between tree branches.
× Also one is really big fan of Tails' namesakes subconsciously twirling together into one when he's uncomfortable around someone. Even years later when he no longer feels any insecurity about them or his capability to defend himself, he kept the habit.
× Tails' fur coat is really thick and shiny now that he can properly take care of it. It hides a lot of scars and the visible ones are usually assumed to be from work accidents. Most of them are much older than his ability to tinker freely however.
× Now I bring to the table something sillier; Forever short king Tails. Listen I love older/adult Tails taller than Sonic as much as the other guy, mainly cuz I Understand that frustration of your younger siblings growing taller than you, but for today's angst purposes, he had (has) really poor nutrition and extremely stressful environment, which stunted his growth, so he shall be short forever.
× Tying into Tails not getting to eat as often when he was a literal toddler; while I generally don't feel the need to have explanations or extensive backstories for likes, dislikes and phobias of a character, someone said that when Tails was a tiny guy and starving, he learned that chewing on mint leaves helped satiate the hunger just a bit so mint remained as his comfort food and I hadn't been the same since
× And at last, way back when, all alone in a tiny cave he found and took refuge in from time to time, especially the days he felt not so well, he was almost sure he'd die of sickness once. Tails was no stranger to getting sick or wondering if hed make it through another day, but with this one he genuinely felt like he was dying. Since then, he has fully accepted that any night could be his last. For a kid not even in the double digits, he is pretty lax about the idea of suddenly facing death for good. Sonic is not a big fan of that.

I personally don't get the hype about real fur or taxidermy of your therian species. I have more problems looking at pictures of killed wolves, than people tbh. I get more angry and traumatized by it so I don't wanna be near a pelt or stuffed wolf at all.
It's like- It's like you would put human skin as a carpet, or put a stuffed human corpse in your living room. I mean- who would do that?
I also made sure that the wolffangs I got for christmas are not from hunted wolves, cuz I don't want to support hunters. Would feel wrong to me.
I mean I could never be vegan and I know how many animals get killed every year, but killing for food is still something different to me than killing for decoration. One helps you to survive, the other is a waste of a life.
Does anyone here relate to my thoughts or is it just me? ._.

The Boar Prince/ss (Tighnari/Reader)
A/n: Tis I, your secret raccoon @riabef offering you a humble present for this day 🦝 🎁!!! It is probably wet cuz my trash animal brain tried to wash it by the creek but eh, hope ya like it!!! I can't say I celebrate Xmas, but happy holidays, belated happy birthday and best wishes for the new year!!! <333 - with love, ansytea
CW: none!!! Pls trust me– they're just sassy children being sassy children. Just wholesome fluff-crack vibes with added soulmate elements (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
Unreliable Synopsis: Seven-year-old Tighnari meets his soulmate in the forest on the eve of Celestia's Day. Hilarity ensues.
Tumblr media
----
Tighnari was FREEZING!
He was just a kid! Why was HE the one tasked with picking up branches for the fireplace?! That's not fair at all! Just because he had maintained his ears and tail better than the rest of his family doesn't mean he's best suited for this job. Sure, it doesn't snow much in Sumeru, but he's not the most resilient fox compared to his relatives! Tighnari's too young for this. The place is positively humid and there is little to no room for his whining unless he would devolve into a fit of sneezes. 
With "Grrr"s turning into "Brrr"s, young Tighnari cloaks himself up with the same scarf by adding more layers to protect his neck. When he went out, Tighnari's hair was wild and unruly, constantly falling in his face as an act of immature defiance. He didn't care how much his mom preached about appearances as the kid fennec stomped to the rainforest. 
The rainforest was positively duller than it was in any other season, and he can't even perceive colors. All greys and darker shades. Then again, he's just a kid so that's only natural. He's not as lucky as his mom and dad who found each other back when they were five. And yet, woe is Tighnari for being seven years old and unable to tell plantains and bananas apart. 
Grey… grey… grey… everything was dreadfully grey. Why can’t it snow here now like it did in Liyue? That’s not fair. He wanted to see something lighter and more cheerful than this cold sight.
Tighnari trudged through the place with his tiny legs, hoping to pick up what he needed and head home fast. He whined and his shoulders sagged. In the common egocentric view of children his age, he complained loudly as he picked up a branch as if he was Atlas and it was the Earth. Tighnari rebelliously waved the stick at the sky for a bit when he did pick it up.
Now would be a good time for him to gain a vision, Celestia! It’s Celestia’s Day Eve! Do you hear his thoughts?! A pyro vision would be great, thank you very much!!! 
When Tighnari noticed four mushroom boars cuddling up to one another, he came to a complete halt. The cold must be hard on them too, huh? They stand out against the less vivid background because of their lighter fur. Tighnari might be able to bring some home. 
He instinctively reached for his bow but stopped midway.
Hold on– Dad didn't send him out here to hunt! He's supposed to bring back lumber like a grown-up!
Tighnari pouted. 
Ngh… but hunting's much more fun, though!– 
Hold on.
His eyes widened. His ears jolted upwards as Tighnari revolved his feet on an axis. He turned his heels around in an alert stance. There was no danger around him– there were no ruin guards, no eremites, no fungi– but his surroundings drastically changed. Tighnari kept shooting glances at the new world– the real world around him.
… What is that...?
“What color is that?!”
His hold on the branch tightened, squinting at the small leaf that grew on its side.
Green… green! This has to be green!
He grabbed his tail. Green– dark green? This is green! Are all of these leaves green? 
Tighnari grinned widely. 
His young and simple mind had decided that he liked the color green.
… Green… Yellow-green…
Those were the first colors he saw, but they didn’t come from the trees and the sprouted leaves surrounding him. What do other colors look like? As he was about to hastily scout the area for Sumeru roses, a dire thought occurred to him.
... Why did he start to see colors?
His heart dropped as he looked at the herd again.
… Green… Yellow-green boars…
Oh… oh no… to think he was just planning to kill them earlier...
Is his soulmate… a BOAR?!
His knees buckled down to the ground, the dewed tall grass scraping it slightly. No, it can't be. Tighnari laughed humorlessly. His parents take great pleasure in their son's innate intelligence and curiosity. It's only natural that he likes reading books– he leafed through some encyclopedias so there’s no way for Tighnari to miss that boars…
… have a life expectancy of 10 to 14 years.
"Ngh...!" Tighnari nearly teared up.
How… how can he fall in love with a boar, especially when they'll die before him? H-how can he kiss a boar? Is that even okay? Won’t his friends make fun of him?! Then again, if it's love, then there shouldn't be anything wrong with it, right?
But the rainforest… it’s greatly affected by the withering…By the time Tighnari graduates, he may not even see his soulmate frolicking in the grass anymore...
… That’s it.
The child clenched his fists. Tighnari’s knuckles grew pale– he had never felt this much resolve in his childhood years. It doesn't matter how long his soulmate lives, as long as he can help extend what little time they have, he'll make the most of it. Tighnari wasn’t going to let them die young, nu-uh! Especially not after he saw how beautiful the world is in full color.
He made up his mind. Starting today, he’s going to be a forest ranger to save his soulmate’s natural habitat!
"I-I…!" Tighnari puffed his cheeks out. The child didn’t care if he looked stupid, especially when his only audience was the silence of the rainforest. "I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE UGLY! I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A BOAR!"
He shut his eyes tight, mustering the courage to accept his (hilarious) fate. If he had them open, Tighnari would’ve noticed two (h/c) protruding fox ears at the center of the bewildered herd.
"I’M GONNA LOVE YOU!!! I'M GONNA BE FOREST RANGER AND I'M GONNA PROTECT YOUR HOME!!! PLEASE STAY STRONG AND DON'T DIE YET!!!"
“W-Why are you screaming?!”
An unexpected voice called out. Tighnari froze, opening his eyes. 
A fox, you, suddenly appeared in the sea of yellow-green fur. Your face was coated in dirt, and your wool jacket was littered with hair that wasn't yours. You were a bit smaller in stature, probably younger than him, and you pulled your ears down to feign meekness and pain from Tighnari’s previous wailing. But most notable of all, you donned a nervous yet mischievous smile– a smile Tighnari will increasingly grow accustomed to for the entire duration of his life, and it gets better each time he sees it.
Your (e/c) eyes blinked, groggily realizing something was amiss. 
“O-Oh, woaaahh, COLORS!!!” You gawked in awe, mimicking the same movements Tighnari did when he gained the ability to see in full colors. “Hey, are you my soulmate?!– Achoo!!!”
Wait, is his soulmate one of the boars or…?
He shyly combed his hair down, now hyper-aware of how embarrassingly messy it was. Tighnari should've listened to his mom earlier. He didn't know he was meeting his soulmate today!
“I… I’m not sure…” Tighnari blinked, visibly perplexed. He glanced at the boars, troubled. A person was cuddling between those stinky animals? How could a fox's nose even handle that? He could barely keep his jaw from hitting the floor.
“Whack!” You blew a raspberry, your small fennec ears drawing back down. “W-Who else would it be other than ME? The boars???”
He grumbled. 'Well, excuse me, prince/ss', that was exactly what Tighnari thought earlier since you were hiding under their fur like an egg waiting to hatch.
“Never mind that! How about you? What are you doing here alone? Where are your parents– and why are you snuggling with them?!”
“C-Cuz it’s cold, alright?!” You sneezed again. Your voice echoed, cute and high-pitched. “M-My parents are adventurers and I wanted to follow them cuz they’re leaving me alone on Celestia Day b-but–”
You sneezed for the umpteenth time.
“B-But I don’t know where they went... I just wanted for us to drink hot cocoa b-but..." You sniffled. 
"S-so I’m hanging out with my REAL family now! They’re nicer and they gave me mushrooms. HMPH!!!”
You proudly put your hands on your hips as your fluffy ears pricked up. You mimicked a "dignified" posture you observed in exaggerated storybooks, pointing your chin upward.
Tighnari clicked his tongue. “Whatever, Boar Prince/ss. Get out of there before they ram their noses to your butt!!”
His weak threat only made his fellow fennec grouchier. “H-Hey! My name is (Y/n) and I’m five years old, th-thank you very much!”
(Y/n)... That’s a really pretty name… He wouldn’t mind saying it often.
“Whatever, I’m still gonna call you Boar Prince/ss. My name’s Tighnari. I’m seven so I’m two years older than you.”
“T-Tighnari, Tighnari. Heh. S-Sounds cool. What’s your last n-name?”
“Huh?”
“O-Obviously I don’t wanna keep my papa’s last name after they abandoned me, so I’M taking your last name, soulmate.”
“Gah– D-Don’t say things like that, you big lummox!!!” Tighnari huffed, his angry breath visible in the cold air. “And they probably didn’t abandon you, you’re just stubborn and you didn't listen to them like a bad kid.”
You purposefully ignored his last remark. “Why not? Aren’t we going to get married someday?”
Tighnari paused, his face heating up. Technically, you're right, but he didn’t want to admit that. 
He reached his hand out to help you get out of the boars’ place. “S-Shut up! Before you freeze, why don’t you come over to my house? My parents can make some pretty good hot cocoa.”
Your eyes beamed at the suggestion. “Drinking hot cocoa? Hmm... But I wanna do that with my cousins though.”
Tighnari's eye twitched. So much for "soulmates".
“HMPH! If you don’t wanna drink cocoa at my place then be one with the forest!”
“W-Wait up!”
Tighnari walked faster, a few paces ahead of them. You profusely apologized to your "new family" as you swerved out of the herd. Unfortunately for him, despite nearly shivering to death, you're a faster runner than Tighnari. Your hand seized his tail, and he felt his face and ears warm up. You could have yanked him playfully, but you chose to look at him and catch a glimpse of yourself in his eyes.
You decided at that moment that you like the color green, too.
“Hehe, your tail’s prettier than mine.”
He felt his heart race again. 
“W-Wa…” Warm...
“Wah?”
Tighnari trembled in jittery frustration.
“W-Watch your step, our place is near s-so it shouldn't be long until we see mom and dad. And grab my hand instead, won't you!” Tighnari huffed. His place WAS near, but that doesn't mean he won't complain about being ordered to pick up wood earlier.
You did what was instructed, and Tighnari suddenly recalled that you referred to him as your soulmate numerous times. He looked down and noticed how much your hands fit perfectly with his.
A perfect fit... A perfect match...
"Hey, soulmate?"
He answered reluctantly. "...Yeah?"
"I like how warm your hands are too..."
"Ngh!"
Tighnari's hand is sweating and his heart can't take it. It's physically impossible for him to fire a sassy retort to that. He closed his eyes again, overwhelmed.
Slightly, he wished that he couldn't see colors so that he wouldn't notice how cute his soulmate is with that "pink" blush dusting their face.
—----
“Oomph– y-you surprised me, love.”
Neither of you can believe it’s been 14 years since you both found each other– and this would be your 12th year spending Celestia's Day together.
Tighnari, now visibly older but just as energetic as he was before, captured your waist from the back. He put his head on your neck, humming contentedly as he basked in your presence. 
"Sorry, I just missed you…"
You smiled and ruffled his hair slightly. "I missed you, too…"
That's right, 12th year. You're finally home after a two-year-long expedition in the Chasm with Miss Yelan. Suppose being a bit adventurous does run in your blood. However, you weren't too late to not witness the nation of Sumeru change because of the traveler's influence. Since your return, Tighnari frequented your house more often– leaving the rangers with more work. Not that they mind, they’d rather pitch in than see their forest watcher mopey and depressed. Besides, you might've missed the Sabzerus festival, but you won't leave your fiance at his lonesome again for Celestia's Day. 
It’s impossible for him to keep under wraps just how much he adores you. Tighnari sighed dreamily, his expression softened as he looked at you. His fingertips shyly brushed against yours until he intertwined your hands. Although you were slightly tense, you relaxed into the hug and squeezed him back.
He whispered in your ear, his soothing tone complimenting the crackling of the fireplace. "I'm not letting you go… Ever…"
"I know."
"You know what? I'm locking the doors."
"Then what's the point of inviting the others to spend Celestia's Day if you did that, hmm? Do you want poor Collei to be alone on the holidays?"
His nose scrunched. The kid was sleeping soundly upstairs after she got tired of waiting for the traveler and Cyno. Tighnari's never going to abandon her, she can't be alone when she got the best parental figures with her. Better than those boars, at least.
"Collei can stay in, she’s like your daughter at this point. The others can perish."
"OUR daughter. Plus, last time I checked, it was your idea to invite them."
His hug tightened, "I made a grave mistake. I don't want to hear Cyno's jokes under the pine tree." 
By no means a novice to his snark, you chuckled softly. As time flew by, your old playful happy-go-lucky nature refined to be more serious, but never dull. You've both matured into fine adults. However, you're behaving rather timidly compared to your usual banter, which only pushed him to act skittish.
Tighnari pouted intentionally cute. “Honey... you know there’s no one else in the world more gorgeous than you, right?”
You tell each other everything, and this is often his best conversation starter for it. “What is it this time, love?”
“Hypothetically speaking, what if I told you I accidentally gave the others the wrong map?”
“...The wrong what?”
“The wrong map to your house.” His voice was muffled this time as he buried his face in the crook of your neck. You’re used to the sensation of him hiding his meek expressions behind you. “What if I told you I mailed them Collei’s drawing?”
You put your hand on your chin profoundly, your ears drooping down. You're something of a schemer yourself, so it's in your nature to doubt his claim. “Ah yes, because I’ll definitely believe you did that accidentally after you just said you don’t want them to come over.”
“Yes– cause this time I’m not lying.”
“Sure, you rotten fox…” You grumbled. “I can’t believe you’re exposing to everyone that I’m the Boar Prince/ss. It was supposed to be a secret!”
Tighnari laughed, his joy so contagious that your pretend dismay collapsed in an instant. The both of you stood by the fireplace for a while, your ears listening to the sound of your soulmate’s breathing.
It's the warm and comfortable moments of silence like this that can wash two years of loneliness away.
Life has kept you both so busy that the beginnings of your somewhat haphazard love story have been buried behind numerous tasks and research papers. Nevertheless, regardless of the conflicts you two had experienced, it all comes down to one tale. It is a wonderful serendipity that both perspectives coalesced into a single, cohesive narrative of a child who believed a boar was his soulmate and another who was unexpectedly adopted by the herd while looking for their parents.
Tighnari traced the engagement ring in your hand. His eyes were intensely green yet soft whenever he gazes at you. 
Green’s such a beautiful color, especially when it paints his features. You'll never grow tired of observing his face.
“(Y/n)... I'm so glad that you're alive, unlike a boar's lifespa–”
As if to ruin a magical moment in a Fontaine rom-com film, the door busted open, revealing a particularly unamused scribe with a mercenary, a dancer, a general, a gliding champion, and a traveler trailing behind him like lost puppies. You flinched at the sound while Tighnari put a distance between you and the “intruders”. He only relaxed when he saw Cyno lazily raise his hand.
“Motherfu– See? I knew I shouldn’t have trusted you, Dehya.”
“Relax, Haitham, what matters is we’re here now.”
“We would’ve gotten here earlier if SOMEONE didn’t trust a crayon map.”
“I’m sure Tighnari didn’t mean to send us that one.”
“Stop defending him, Cyno, you’re not his damn lawyer.”
While carrying a sizable sweet madame, Lumine shrugged at the very back and looked directly at you and Tighnari. Paimon drifted next to her while sluggishly drooling.
"Happy Celestia day!"
Despite being worn out, the traveler tried her best to ignore the miserable arguments being had by everyone with a large smile.
You snorted behind your hand as Alhaitham brushed off the snow in his cloak by the carpet. You found it funny that none of them, except the scribe, ventured to doubt the quite literally sketchy map. It's impressive that they managed to read Collei's handwriting.
Deciding not to point that out, you helped them get inside. Dehya stood behind him with a sheepishly amiable smile with Nilou directly next in the queue. Nilou giggled as Alhaitham muttered a string of curses under his breath about how he’s too feeble of a scholar for this amount of legwork. Meanwhile, the person who you assumed was "Amber", looked around for any signs of her Sumeruan friend.
Your satisfied smile never left your face as you watched your friends chat heartily. Celestia's Day with friends and family... it's just like what you asked for 14 years ago.
"I'll go and wake Collei up," Tighnari muttered before he pecked your cheek. You nodded along. It was your idea to surprise Collei with Amber after all.
"Bring out the mugs and hot cocoa too."
"On it."
Alhaitham noticed the fox was about to leave and scoffed, his face souring in an expression similar to his housemate's. Oh, he's pissed.
“You…" He pointed an accusatory finger at you. "Why did you send us to the middle of the rainforest? And why on earth is it jam-packed with boars? Is this some high-level joke I can’t comprehend?”
“That’s what I would also like to know too, actually,” Nilou mused, but by the teasing lilt of her voice, it seemed as if she already guessed the answer. “Why did you mark the boars’ habitat as (Y/n)’s home?”
You and Tighnari looked at each other in unison. Your shoulders shook as you both silently held back your laughter.
“Yeah, well, about that…”

last night, during the street outreach, we had a woman come up to us, incredibly agitated that the undercover footage we were showing of slaughterhouses and dairy, egg, and fishing industries was visible to children.
two of the activists had brought their healthy, intelligent, wonderfully well-adjusted vegan children, who have both previously seen the footage with their parents and asked questions and received honest answers.
and i approached her to ask her—if she cared so much about the welfare of children, as she claimed, why was she not boycotting these industries?
if you are against child labor in any real way, you WOULD boycott industries that require labor in slaughterhouses, meat-packing facilities, fisheries, egg farms, dairy farms, fur and wool farms.
because guess who makes up a significant portion of that labor? CHILDREN. illegally and legally both, depending on the state or regional laws.
i’ve seen it with my own eyes at slaughterhouses, up close—i’ve seen children no older than 12 made to haul the dead bodies of pigs, still bleeding. i’ve seen them working in those farms.
there are innumerable minors “employed”—or enslaved—to animal agriculture and the resultant slaughterhouses and meat-packing and chick-grinding and animal skinning. PTSD doesn’t even begin to cover what these children come home with. to say nothing of how unsafe these jobs are—would anyone like to look into how many injuries and outright limb amputations are caused by slaughterhouse work each year? cuz it sure isn’t zero.
do you think Big Meat insures their workers and pays for medical bills and a pension when these incidents occur? how much do you think they care about safety code violations? the USDA and ASPCA approved slaughterhouses i’ve seen in person are in violation of at least 40 codes, minimum.
and let’s talk about the field farming of the immense amount of food required to sustain the animals imprisoned within these industries—lest we forget, most of the world’s food and calories go to feed these animals, not us.
and guess who they rely on most to farm that animal feed.
these industries will ALWAYS find a way to use children for their labor, because it’s cheap and it’s easy. they will NEVER stop using child labor. ever. it doesn’t matter how many laws are “in place”—these places will always get away with it bc they literally cannot exist without extensive and wildly cheap labor. you cannot invent an animal agriculture that won’t find a way to silently exploit minors for cheap labor.
these businesses are at the top of the capitalist heap—it’s a business that, once again, cannot exist without human slavery on a large scale, with much of that burden resting on children and immigrants (particularly women, btw).
if you actually care even a little bit about child labor, really, one of the most effective things you can do is to boycott animal product industries.

":D! Thanks! I would love to see how the dorm heads interact with the vices! Or just more of how the whole savannaclaw octovilline (sorry if I spelt them wrong :<) ppl work out, cuz they can’t be milked? (Right? I mean other animals have milk ig but,,,,,) jamil and kalim s little dance routine together sounds so cute! And Ruggie is the secret third thing? :o (I don’t know what that is sorry if I’m being stupid lol!) and lilia and mal! Cute! Is it too much to ask if you could give a little description of what they would look like, like fur colors and stuff, also are they like, centaur like? Or like satyrs? Or like just have the animal parts? :)"
the ruggie thing wasn't anything deeper dw about it
cw: just a short ramble and some hcs so nothing rlly, I typed these on my phone so srry if they came out funny, not proof read
Tumblr media
so first off for the nondairy farms(enclosures?) they work as follows:
Members of them still perform at shows and are rented out for parties and private occasions the same and their added exotic factor from not being as common as the more domestic hybrids makes them more lucrative to do so with.
but as far as looks I've stated before that I imagine them being a little taller and more built, around 5 or 6 inches specifically, and they just have tails, ears, horns and a patch of fur on their back!
ok here r some character by character hcs for their looks as well as some other miscellaneous stuff
Riddle:
Soft white and red pelt, small horns.
Small and delicate looking he's actually rather hot headed and hard to work with, wish good luck to his handler they need it.
Doesn't do shows often but when he does he shows up and shows out.
Trey:
Thick dark green pelt, large horns
Not one to enjoy the spotlight and therefore doesn't participate in shows
Would rather spend his time in the kitchen and the fields or showing kids around when they have scheduled field trips coming up.
Like I said he enjoys working with kids when he has the chance and his brotherly personality makes him perfect for it.
Cater:
Shaggy ginger and white pelt, his horns are smaller than treys but still big.
Get's rented out often and looooves having his picture taken, he's very photogenic you know
Amazing temperament, maybe too lenient at times, you could tug his tail and not get much of a negative reaction.
Ace:
Short full ginger pelt, medium sized horns.
A bit of a trouble maker and hasn't had the chance to feature in any shows yet
Deuce:
Short white and deep blue-black pelt, medium horns.
Likes helping out the best he can but between me and you.. he's not that good at it.
Trey has him help collect eggs from the chicken coop from time to time.
He just wants to make everyone around him proud!
Kalim:
Stark white pelt, stubby horns.
Popular as far as rentals for parties go
He prioritizes fun over everything else which usually gets him caught up especially when it comes to real work.
Jamil:
Corse black pelt, medium large horns the tips of which are black too.
Him and Kalim come as a packaged deal so you can't have one without the other as far as shows and the like goes.
Vil:
long blonde pelt the tips of which are purple, elegantly curved horns.
To put it nicely; he's a cunt.
Does shows often and barely anything else unless it's extremely high profile.
His time and effort are expensive you know.
Rook:
blonde pelt that is meticulously trimmer(under Vils request), large horns.
He is an enigma in every sense of the word, hard to read but overly friendly
Strongly attached to his handler regardless of if they feel the same.
Epel:
Shaggy but short pale lavender pelt, very small horns(HE'S STILL GROWIN' OK)
The prissy image vil forces him uphold makes him sick but playing quiet and polite when he isn't breathing down his neck isn't too hard.
Idia:
Yes his pelt is made up of unnaturally blue flames too, larger horns but they just make him clumsy.
Sorry I love him but no idea why they keep him around he truly is good for nothing.
Ortho:
you remember those zoomer robot cats and dogs from a few years back? he's like one of those but bigger! and also a cow.
he's all shiny black blue and white plastic baby
good temperament I'd say, Just don't talk shit about his brother.
Malleus:
Deep green tinted black pelt, HUGE fully black curled horns.
Very busy with shows and events.
He's elusive and seen as scary and untouchable to most but really a big sweetie for the most part.
Lilia:
Sporadically trimmed black pelt that has pink streaks like his hair, cute small horns that he probably paints pink to match(I imagine their being like horn polish of some kind yk).
In a word; Silly.
He's great with kids and treats Malleus like a big toddler sometimes.
Sebek:
Uneven pale green pelt, medium large horns.
Never gets booked for shows or contests, not that he's undesirable or anything he just refuses to put himself in a position where he will be Malleus' competition.
SIlver:
Mid length silver-white pelt, small horns.
Has been in a show or two and found they're not for him.
Prefers helping out around the farms when he can.

Totally Spies! S1 E10-15
ok we watched these late last night while also a lil high so its a lil hazy. also we have found a new top contender for the worst episode. not for the usual reasons. here ya go
Tumblr media
oh also i rearranged a few of the last ones cuz they were just. wrong.
ok lets get to the notes
Silicon Valley Girls: ai named CHAD starts torturing people who bullied his creator Adam, machine kinda sexyevil like glados?, saying shit to everyone like "you've been a very bad boy. you deserve punishment" also CHAD reprograms Adam
Queen for a Day: fetishization of North African/ Middle Eastern women, kidnapping, bondage, forced dating
Shrinking: honestly not as bad as it could've been, micro/macro stuff, clover does wear doll's clothes at the end tho
Aliens: actually almost fine other than the torture/ murder machine, and also the organization called Gooper? more on this episode later
Wild Style: oh boy! this episode is the Island of Doctor Moreau but with Jimmy Buffet and Buffalo Bill (but a lady), evil fashion lady forcibly turns people into animal people so she can flay them and make clothing out of their fur/skin, she does in fact wear a coat made of human skin, she served cunt tho so i support women's wrongs, oh also clover becomes a catgirl and her outfit rips in some horny ways :/
Ok so now that that's out of the way, I NEED to talk about the geopolitical implications of the totally spies! world. so we see a couple world maps in the episode "Aliens"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so i have a couple theories for this situation. the breaks in the countries vaguely correspond to real tectonic faults? and we see an earthquake generator in this episode that's the size of a radio? so im thinking since there's basically constant supervillian activities, this may be causing the faults to move rapidly. and also IS CALIFORNIA AN ISLAND??
despite this drastic geologic difference to our earth, we often see a lot of places in this show mostly unchanged. like. Mexico has been Fucked but we still see Mexico City. We see New York twin towers and all. And Beverly Hills of course. There are some made up countries like Kenyopia and Lirobia (i think) but its like. An excuse for them to use weird medieval middle eastern stereotypes for a modern day thingie i guess. There were some others but I'm not going back and watching past episodes. France and Peru and China all exist. Also, Ivy pointed out that the Great Wall of China is still there even though there's a sea there now? We're gonna start noting these things now.
I also have some stuff to say about the music but we'll save that for it's own post.
11 episodes left in Season 1!

Tumblr media Tumblr media
is want talk about Wish You Goodnight’s design convention as style way design , draw , way would adapt regular characters into universe is very important , both to story & visual !
——
all monochrome
WYGN is fully monochrome because world is monochrome . but it will never be 100% grey never use pure black , it alway tinted purple - blue . all color not completely gone
Tumblr media
All character base palette is use only these colors
2. only eyes have color , is soul color eye color not always “what real color would be” , it just soul color
soul can be any color , and majority is named after color and what thing would be that color .
name can be in language other than english , most just in english as comic is english .
reason why these in khmer is cuz they already have khmer name in original and we cambodian (if make oc , is highly recommend make name in own language !)
3. Shape extremely important , very clear shape , body type , recognizable
and majority of character should be able drawn with just lineart , not leaving it to color stage to make most of character
important / thin details (like sun’s antlers) is usually done with lineart layer
4. it require have butterfly shape / pattern somewhere
every single WYGN character is have butterfly on them , and butterfly shape / pattern can be included in clever ways ,
like instead of butterfly drawn on them , some may have fur that look like butterfly , or wing that make butterfly .
that because butterflies represent death and soul passing on into new body in universe , it always present .
5. only feral creatures , including animal fusion , mythical . but no humans / human hybrids .
——
and that should be it !
WYGN have lot of design rules , but it really important to us and really unify all character and world , and make immediately recognizable that they apart of this comic / world
it also make very easy for us to draw , and make clear to read even if drawn messy .

Tfw reptiles go into brumation when it gets too cold(basically hibernation but there’s a chance they may not wake up- 😬)
Stay warm everyone! Including those who aren’t reptiles that can thoroughly enjoy the snow :3
Oh no!! For this AU, I'd say that the koopas are warm-blooded just 'cuz this dimension is meant to be more like "real life." (Probably not the same case for SKB, but every territory over there has a "controlled environment," so who cares-) The characters may look like animals, but outside of the fur, spikes, purring, squeaking, and wagging their tails in excitement, they are just normal people. No hibernating and not waking up here!
Everyone, especially Ludwig, is bundling up and keeping nice and toasty! Even though it hasn't snowed in several weeks-

More KinnPorsche Shifter AU fun! Because why not?
Also I don’t own these photo’s, they are just for references.
There are five known shifters in the AU:
Porsche - Black Panther (Jaguar.)
Fully grown and now stands at 5ft 2 from paw to shoulder, though with his head raised he reaches near 6ft. From the tip of his nose to the end of his tail he’s about 12ft long. He is very dark, his rosettes are extremely hard to see, in fact they tend to only be visible when he’s lying in a direct sunbeam. He loves to lounge, and has a habit of doing so in random places at night making poor unsuspecting humans trip over him. Give him a sturdy tree and he’s a happy boi. Also loves to snuggle, but only those he’s close with.
Why a jaguar you ask? Because I love the idea of Kinn buying Porsche and Jaguar cars to annoy him. Cuz hes rich, fuck it.
Tumblr media
Porchay - Black Panther (Jaguar)
Porchay still has rather large paws which would indicate, to his older brother’s dismay, he still has some growing still to do. Porchay stands at 4ft 10 from Paw to shoulder, and 11ft 3 from nose to tail. Porchay is lighter in colour, his dark fur more of a dark brown and his rosette pattern can easily be seen. He is of similar build to his brother, and they share the same golden eyes, but where as Porsche is silky to the touch Porchay is softer. Porchay loves cuddling, in both forms really, but particularly in his shifted form. A proper cuddle bug. (Kim stood no chance.)
Porsche and Porchay shift frequently at their house. Its been fitted to suit a climbing cats needs, large ledges for them to climb and lie down on. Their father had made it all by hand, he was still working on it when he passed away. Since then Porsche and Porchay have added to their fathers work and, as time grew on, they reinforced what he left behind.
Tumblr media
Chan - Eurasian Brown Bear
Oh, you thought Porsche was big?
Chan is a fucking tank.
From nose to butt (because bear tails are teeny, im not counting it) he is 15ft long, and from shoulder to paw he’s about 8ft. He is HUGE, even by shifter standards. He’s has a lovely dark brown coat, and dark brown eyes. In the winter Chan has to take shorter work shifts as his human and shifted self gets extremely fatigued. In this AU he’s less off Korn’s loyal bodyguard (though he still is) and more of a badass Uncle to the three boys. He’s been around since Tankhun was born, and he has a soft spot for all three of them. But he better not catch them slacking. (He also has a soft spot for his fellow shifters and takes them under his wing. In a Chan like way, of course.)
Korn and Chan are close, and this cause real strain between Korn and Bob, er I mean, Gun. Chan came into Korn’s service after he was discovered at a shifter trafficking warehouse that had been owned by a rival clan. A… lot happened, but Chan is family now, and to him thats all that matters.
Tumblr media
Arm - Barred Owl
Bird shifters don’t get as big as their mammal counterparts, for the evident reason being they wouldn’t get of the bloody ground. On average a mammal shifter (Porsche, Porchay and Chan) are about 100% - 120% larger than their animal counter parts. Bird shifters tend to be 60% - 80% larger.
Arm is a lovely cream colour with brown strips and big brown eyes. He is 3 ft 2” from head to tail and has a wingspan of 6ft 8”. Like most owls, in flight Arm is basically silent and even though he is evidently larger than a normal owl, he can be hard to spot at night. Arm has been Tankhun’s guard since before his kidnapping, though he was essential in finding him. A drone has nothing on a bird shifter in regards to eyesight and manoeuvrability. Tankhun’s kidnappers had to deal with not only 750 pounds of pissed of bear, but also a flying demon that aimed for their eyes.
Ever since then he has remained by Tankhun’s side, even after the man stepped down. Pete is still head guard, though people think its odd, but it works for them all, and Tankhun couldn’t give up Pete even if his life depended on it. Arm has to wear special glasses because the quality downgrade from his shifted vision to his human vision used to give him migraines.
Tumblr media
Porsche and Porchay’s mum - Jaguar
Porsche and Porchay remember their mother’s shifted form fondly, her bright golden coat made her easy to spot from anywhere, but when she purposefully hide she was practically invisible. Their mother would of been shorter than her boys, but not by much. She used to blame her husbands genes for that. She was a doting mother and one hell of a shifter. Porsche and Porchay don’t know much about their mum’s past only that she didn’t grow up around other shifters.
Tumblr media
That was fun! I’ve been really delving in deep into the world building of this AU. I am tempted to write it up and post it to AO3, but A Stacked Deck is quite large as it is. I was thinking maybe a 5 to 6 chapter with 15k words each. I dunno yet, but there seems to be interest!

The Lyndworm Animagius Harry Potter Au Brainrot that I can't escape
Tumblr media
my au is very specific and won't get out of my head, idk if I'm gonna write a fic but if I do it'll start in 4th year probably or be told in snippets
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now it's ur problem too! :)
Tumblr media
Harry takes anchent runes in this au
That's how he made the cat shapeshifting necklace. It was plan B.
(Harry is slytherin in this au, and personally has never trusted Albus Dumbledore)
He wanted to have an animal form for stealth and sneaking purposes since dumbles doesn't give him the cloak in this au cuz hes in Slytherin
But his animagus form said FUCK STEALTH
It may be the smallest species of dragon to ever exist, but it's still way to fucking big for stealth.
Sooo.. cat amulet/necklace thing. Unfortunately this is also not the best either cuz his fur is very unique and rememberable.
(also he thinks his fur's kinda a dead giveaway for who he is, yet somehow Snape is the only one who recognizes him on sight??? Like how?? It's so obvious???? Harry lives in constant confusion at the actions of the wizarding poplulas)
And since Lyndwurms are usually very sneaky looking that's where Harry gets the parseltounge ability, all the snakes think he has a weird growlly-growllish accent.
The wings flap like- alternately? (When the front ones go up the back ones go down and vice versa) And when they rub together fast it creates static electricity' otherwise his movements are just kinda floaty like a fairy fly, (which is a real thing, microscopic fly that basically swims thru air with it's giant fairy wings hence the name.)
This species of dragon mostly eats birds and fish and is a very good swimmer- Just picture like- an electric eel crossed with a dragonfly.
it is also very very extinct so everyone is confused in the beginning except Charlie the token dragon nerd who has read every dragon book ever.
Tumblr media
He is also a pretty boy, because I said so. Harry deserves to be pretty. He has heterochromia? (Is it called that when it's just the hair?)

You say in your pinned post that you have a lot of fur babies. Can I ask how many or for you to talk about them a bit? I love animals! 😍
Oh yes I can definitely do that.
Below the cut for people who don't want to see the ramble lol
So first off we have KitKat. I adopted her from a friend who's ex-fiance abandoned her. Shes...7 or 8 now. She is the queen of the house.
Tumblr media
Then we have Squishy. We have no idea how old Squishy is, we think around 14. He has FIV and diabetes and he has no teeth. We adopted him from a lady who rescued him off of an abandoned farm. He is the chillest cat in the entire world and gives ZERO fucks
Tumblr media
Now we have Ophie (Ophelia). She is a Great Dane mix and is my little shadow. She's almost 3, we adopted her when she was 8 months old.
Tumblr media
Now the ponies. This is Mac. Like..the real Mac lol. He's 17, and he's an Appaloosa. This guy is my ride or die, and he picks and chooses the people he likes when it comes to being ridden.
Tumblr media
Lastly we have Dixie. She is a Thoroughbred, and an ex-racehorse. She is 14, and is an absolute angel. She is my show horse and I would kill for her.
Tumblr media
Oh also we have Regina George, aka Bean. She's our barn cat, she's tiny and Hella feisty. The people who lease Mac from me gave her to us cuz she was beating up their neighbors dog lol.

Pinned Post 🌙
Tumblr media
Name : Þóri⚡
Age : 24 (Feb.01.2000) ♒
I'm from: Germany
Werewolfkin (Faoladh), Fictionkin (Spirit) & some other things that I don't really have figured out yet
I'm an otherkin since I can remember. I never really have considered myself as human. My family only knew me crawling on all fours through the house and pretending I was their pet. But the real awakening I had around 2011-2012. The otherkin community I found not too long ago (I think 2021?) and never felt so understood before. I always was alone with this whole wolf thing. Even tho some friends knew about it, they called me childish and didn't really take it serious (but I still am very greatful for lots of meaningful wolfkin memories, I made with them! Some of the best memories I have) My subspecies seems to be a forever mystery cuz my fur color varies from white, to black/golden, to brown/white/black (current state). I'm more of a domesticated wolf, but that doesn't change that I'm still a wild animal (#AngerIssues).
I'm an Omega btw. I have always been the submissive pup, who's incapable of standing strong for myself (In reallife at least. On the internet, I'm a lil' bit tougher). But I would do anything for my packmates. I protect them at any cost! Also, I always try to cheer my loved ones up, as best as I can.
● Instagram Account: transparent.fur
● Second Blog: @an-otherworldly-journal
My second blog will basically NOT be an otherkin blog but an actual werewolf blog. Where fiction and reality get mixed up. Everything will be written in a pov of an actual werewolf. Like an ongoing story, either of made up stuff or actual moments of my life.
Pictures of my (Were-)wolf form:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(all pics are made with ai. I just colored and edited them)
Some other Infos;
Over the last years, I became very aware of my surroundings and my own feelings. Like a tiny spiritual awakening.
Religiously I would say, I'm christian, but my beliefs are a little different from usual christians. I believe in heaven, but not in hell. I think, that if you lived a good life, you can go to heaven. If you did something bad, you'll have to live another life on earth that's more difficult, like a "punishment" or more like a "lesson". If you get through the tougher life and did everything right, you can go to heaven... If you commit suicide before going through your whole "lesson", you have to live another life again, to do the rest of it and so on... If you got through it, you'll be blessed with an easier/nicer life or as I said, heaven.
My biggest obsessions: freedom, nature, hiking, stargazing, stormy weather, music, daydreaming, spiders & horror
My biggest fears: ending up alone, eyes, mirrors, paranormal stuff (based on true events)
Funfact: I'm a spidermom of 30 tarantulas 🕷
Also, I have two Tulpas, since 2015 I believe. (Eric Slingby & Alan Humphries) ❤ Eric is like a big brother to me and Alan is like my brother in law ❤ They're the most important beings in my life, because I can always count on them. With Erics help, I learned to control my feelings and my thoughts a little better. c:

Day six of @tazsapphicweek! This one doesn't fit a prompt, so I'm just calling it the free choice square :p
ao3
--
Admittedly, Dani has no experience with rabbits. Ever.
Honestly, she has limited experience with most earthly animals; back on Sylvain she’d had a few pets over the years, but they weren’t too similar to the kinds here, and although she’d known a few rabbit-people, that’s quite a different experience.
But she must give off some sort of “I’m responsible and know how to care for your pet” vibe, because the cute girl who arrived at the lodge just now has given her bunny to Dani without a second thought. 
“This is Dr Harris Bonkers,” she’d said, dropping the beast and a baggy of food into Dani’s arms, “can you watch him for a bit? He’s super friendly, don’t worry, just play with him for a bit.”
Dani stared at it for a moment in shock. She started to say something along the lines of “what?” or “huh?” or even “excuse me?” but the moment she looked back up, the words died on her tongue.
Aubrey was what Mama had introduced her as, and she was gorgeous. She was smiling at Dani, and it was so sweet and adorable and endearing that before she knew it, Dani was nodding and confidently responding, “sure thing!”
Then Aubrey smiled again — even bigger, somehow — and bounded off, leaving Dani with a bunny doing his best to nest in her arms. 
Well. Alright then. 
“Jake!” she called out the second Aubrey had left with Mama again. “I’m gonna need some help!”
They end up in Jake’s room, with Dani rolling a baseball back and forth for Dr Harris Bonkers to chase and Jake sitting next to her and googling for advice. “How hard is it to ask a clarifying question?” he gripes for probably the twentieth time. “Like, I don’t know, when to feed him? How long she’ll be gone?”
“Fuck off,” she tells him. 
Jake gasps and covers the bunny’s ears. “Language!” Dr Harris Bonkers wiggles free and starts chewing on the ball again. 
“Mama’s not gonna keep her all night,” Dani insists, more confident than she feels. “A couple hours? We can manage that.”
Jake nods sagely. “Think he’s gonna put in a good word for you?”
She doesn’t dignify that with a response. 
Unfortunately, he’s not done. “You know what they say about rabbits.”
She sighs. “What?”
“Fastest way to a girl’s heart,” he finishes, leaning back on his elbows with a shit-eating grin. “Cuz they like… hop. They hop fast. You know.” He pulls his phone back out. “Wait, how fast are rabbits?”
Dani laughs and runs a hand down Dr Harris Bonker’s back. His fur’s as soft as it looks. “Super fast. Practically tiny tigers.” She pauses. “Were tigers the fast ones?”
“Cheetahs,” Jake corrects. “Twenty-five miles an hour?! Holy shit!”
It’s her turn to yell “language!” and cover the bunny’s ears. He seems mildly put out at all the ear handling, and hops away from her hands. “I don’t think she’s gonna fall in love with me cuz I watched her bunny real good. I don’t think it’s gonna happen like that.”
Jake snorts. “Did you miss how she was looking at you early? Trust me, ship has sailed, it’s mutual.”
Dani’s face goes hot. Really?! Aubrey was into her too?! “Oh.” She hadn’t considered it might be more than an idle, one-sided crush.
“Bunny-sitter to lovers,” he sighs dreamily. “Tale as old as time.”
“Tail as old as time?”
He cackles.

Ok so I’m gonna give you another request(at this point I’m gonna take up most of them LMAO) but it’s a little less chaotic(you can make it more chaotic though if you want 💀)
If you don’t know MC is actually good with children(it was shown in a event at some point) so can do you a fic where Lance and MC are taking care of Christoph at the academy(so like in the future of after the chaos of her and Christoph being brought to one of Iritium’s hidy places) cuz it’s safer there then whenever Christoph was staying before and Christoph is like “Ya know, I don’t remember my parents but if I had to guess, you two are the closest to them” and MC’s heart just melts cuz that’s the cutest thing she’s ever been told and Lance is like 😦😶🫢😅🥹(cuz istg they’re adorable, like father like son and like brother like brother) and Lance has already had a crush on MC by this point so when he registers what was said about them being a mother and father figure to Christoph he’s like “Ay me and MC having a family doesn’t sound so ba- wait what”
I just find this a really cute idea haha
This is really cute- Awe 😭😭 Ngl this is my first time writing this cute, I’m used to writing chaotic fics more because they’re funnier to me 💀. And I don’t mind how much times you ask lol
Anyways ahem-
Tumblr media
Lance X Reader
~The Cottage Life~
Warning: Just a little bit of cursing (I don’t know what you expect from me 💀) Also gross fluff-
TW: Children
After you and Lance graduated from the academy officially, everyone of the princes and Valets started to fulfill their duties in the kingdom.
You and Lance decided to go run off somewhere with Christoph, Robin and Grusha with the full support of the princes helping you out and keeping where you both are hidden.
That leads you prior to now, you all found a abandoned cottage in the forest near a small village that are out fast leading people to not recognize any of you.
The cottage was rundown, full of dust, cobwebs, pest and such. But it seemed perfect at least, it has three bedrooms which you all split up, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a dusty living room which would sure be troublesome fixing but it could work.
It took you all months to finally renovate the cottage, but in the end it was all worth it. It finally felt like home, you and Lance both got separate jobs around the small village while Christoph would stay home protected by the fierce wolf and cat.
Lance felt at peace finally after many years of his old life, he was finally free of everything around it, he was undoubtedly happy.
He does have his worries sometimes about you though, longing to be something more than friends but to prideful to say anything about it.
Of course he had his moments out of nowhere he would bring animals home using his puppy eyes to keep him while you kicked his ass to the curb outside when he brought in a camel that one time.
Christoph also seems to enjoy this all, he has fun playing games with you and Lance, not worrying about the dangers out in the world.
He never had a real family up until now, he heard you say once that you all were like a family the other day and he felt extremely joyful over it. He cares about you and Lance with all his being.

You all were sitting in the living room playing a card game while Robin and Gruscha were exploring the forest together.
You were in the lead since you and your parents used to be extremely good at board games in general during family game night.
Lance banged his head in the table clearly frustrated looking at you with his brows furred together.
You teasingly smirked at him, “Aw what’s the matter Lance? You want your baby bottle? You give up already” You smiled teasing him even more
“What ever MC I’ll get it next time it’s just my luck.” He said glaring at you.
“Haha yeah right luck.” You said while giggling and rolling your eyes.
Christoph smiled looking at you both, he was clearly having a good time he then spoke; “Ya know, I don’t remember my parents but if I had them you two would be closest to them.”
You then started coughing trying to hide the blush growing on your face. Lance wasn’t doing anything better he put his head down with his ears showing how flustered he was.
Christoph clearly not clueless looked back and forth at you both smiling, knowing what was happening.
“Christoph don’t say things like that out of nowhere.”MC said looking away with a red face.
Lance looked up suddenly secretly amused at the sight of MC blushing his heart started racing, ‘I mean it wouldn’t be that bad if we were all a- WAIT NO’
Lance soon shook the thought out of his mind.
Christoph watched as you both were having your identity crisis.
“Well I’m gonna go upstairs in my room and take a nap.” Christoph said making a fake big yawn while walking up the stairs in a hurry leaving you and Lance alone.
You looked back down at Lance to take a peek at his reaction to realize how flustered he looked, you then smiled, realizing you have a chance if you play it cool.
“So Lance wanna play the dad of our happy family?” You winked, and cringed secretly at your bad attempt at flirting.
Lance looked up and blushed a little more looking hard into your eyes, you both stared at each other clearly both nervous.
“Well, I think I should go finish my novel in my room.” You said while quickly getting up on your feet running upstairs to avoid the awkwardness of the whole situation.
Lance soon snapping out of his thoughts, watched you book it up the stairs fast before he could say anything to you, he then looked down to his hands all of the sudden disappointment.
.
.

After a few hours passed, it is now night. You were on your bed tucked in reading a good mystery novel.
Robin decided to sleep with Christoph which you didn’t mind because lately Robin has been getting a habit of sleep talking and kicking you in his sleep.
You put the book down all of the sudden with a certain memory of your poor attempt at flirting crossed your mind. Never to let you live it down, you put a pillow to your face rolling around and then hitting your head on the pillow trying to get rid of the embarrassing thought.
… knock knock
Pulled you out of your thoughts. You assumed it was Christoph trying to convince you take backs for Robin.
So you got up and opened the door to see Lance staring down at you with pink tinted cheeks looking away.
“Hello?” You spoke asking him thinking of anything else to hide the blush trying to get on your face.
“… May I come in to speak with you?” He asked still looking at the back of my room avoiding eye contact.
“Sure- I don’t mind at all.” You embarrassingly spoke to quickly.
“Here Lance come on in,”
Lance soon stood in the middle of the room as you took a seat on your bed. He walked towards you and crouched down to you level looking directly at you eyes and whispered in your ear…. “I love you”
You then looked up at him while your heart started beating so fast, you whisper the same affirmation as him as well.
“I love you too Lance”
Lance pulled out a small smile which was rare but everytime you saw it you adored it.
“May I kiss you?” He looked away embarrassed he asked you.
You pulled him down and kissed his lips he then kissed you back passionately.
You both were kissing until-
“MC? Lance?” Christoph came into the room shocked and clearly traumatized at the scene.
Robin and Gruscha were behind him clearly also traumatized at the scene.
