retired pornstar!Ghost who can't seem to ever keep his hands to himself whenever you're around, even when about to film.
f!reader, 18+ smut. unedited.
If you're standing at a table making coffee, he'll sneak up from behind and wrap his arms around you, his chin resting on the crown of your head.
Hi, Ghost.
G'mornin', love.
If you're walking out of Price's office with a script in hand, he's by your side in mere moments, throwing an arm over your shoulder.
"New script?"
"You should know, you're my co-star. Again."
"Lucky me, pet."
He's leading you toward his office, perches you on his desk and cups his hand over your core.
"Gonna let me eat this pretty pussy?"
"I dunno, Ghost. Gonna fuck me here too?" you smirk at him.
"Whatever you want from me," he breathes.
You stumble out hours later with swollen lips, love bites mottled over your neck and collarbone, and his warm spend trickling down your legs because Ghost pocketed your knickers.
The day of, he's texting you if you'd like a ride to the studio.
Sure thing. Get me in 15.
Yes ma'am.
He doesn't ask for your address, and you don't question why he knows where you live either. Ghost, forever the gentleman, opens the passenger door for you, and gently helps you get in. The entire drive over, his hand rested on your bare thigh, his small finger occasionally grazing your clothed cunt. By the time you arrive, your knickers are damp with your arousal.
"Somethin' wrong, love?"
You snort at his feigned innocence. "Cute. Is mercilessly teasing me fun to you?"
"Sorry 'bout tha.'" Ghost doesn't sound all that apologetic.
He brings you in tight, wrapping his arm around you firmly.
"Lemme make it up t'you in my dressin' room", he purrs.
You click your tongue. "Price'll have your head if he catches me in there, especially when we're about to make a vid."
"Be sure to keep quiet, then. Would absolutely hate to get caught."
With his smart fingers and expert tongue, you're brought to peak 3 times.
Price rolls his eyes when he spots you both walking in at the same time 15 minutes before the shoot.
"Always cheek by jowl, eh Simon?"
His piercing eyes cut to Price's. "Not a crime, last I checked."
Price lifts his hands up, palms outward in mock surrender. "Easy, Ghost. Only teasin'." He turns away, gesturing the crew to get in their places.
Ghost taps your chin with his pointer finger, drawing your attention. "Showtime, baby."
The wolfish grin on your face mirrors his.
"Showtime," you echo.
Ghost turns sex into art. He moves with discipline; every languid roll of his hips deliberate. Like a skilled painter, he transformed you into a living masterpiece, using each drag of his cock as a brush stroke on the canvas of your very being.
It's otherworldly.
He watches your face intently as he changes the angle, bites his bottom lip when he changes the pace, grunting into your ear as your walls begin to flutter— the telltale sign of 'his favorite part', as he loves to say.
"Gonna come f'me? Lemme hear that sweet, little voice of yours, pet." Almost as if following his command, you're digging your nails into his biceps, and closing your eyes in bliss as you climax. A loud, drawn-out moan escapes your lips as your cunt rhythmically pulses around Ghost's heavy length. Your soft thighs quiver around his broad waist as he works you through the aftershocks with slow, firm thrusts.
"Look at tha'. Came when I told ya to, like a good girl." Your mind is blank from your orgasm, tongue too heavy and thick in your mouth for you to even try to articulate a response.
"Creamed all over my cock, can ya hear it?" Hard not to when the wet sounds of your pussy squelching every time he bottoms out fills the room.
"You're so fuckin' tight. Cunt's squeezin' me like it doesn't want me to pull out."
His filthy words send a jolt straight to your throbbing core. "Felt tha'. What, you got a breedin' kink?"
Another jolt, so sharp it almost hurts.
"Want me to fill ya with my come? Is tha' it?" His husky voice dripping with desire. With want.
yes. yesyesyessss—
"Tell me you want me. Fuck, tell me you want me to come in you." The words fall from your spit-slick lips like a faucet.
"Come in me, oh my god, come in me. Fill my pussy up."
His thrusts lose some of their rhythm, but still not sloppy enough like when he's on the very brink.
Ghost's jaw in clenched, as if digging his heels in to hold off his climax. Well, that's simply unacceptable.
Your fingers tangle into his hair, giving him a slight tug to have his lips hover over yours.
"I want you come in me, Simon."
The change is instantaneous. His eyes widen a fraction before stealing your very breath with a searing kiss and fucks you. He puts his weight behind each snap of his hips. The tip of his cock pressing into the plug of your womb, making your eyes prickle with tears.
It's too much, he's too much, you think you've gone and bitten off more than you can chew with him when he mercifully stills with a groan you swallow— cock twitching as it pains your insides white.
He breaks away, gasping for air, sweat that beaded on his forehead dripping onto your heated skin.
Cut.
DaVinci and his muse.
Later, when he threads his fingers into your damp hair, you ask him why he doesn't record with others.
"'Cause I don't want to."
Oh?
"Besides, you and I have fantastic chemistry, dont'cha think?" He tugs on a lock of hair. "The fans love seeing us together, just as much as I love seeing my cock disappear into your sweet pussy."
He chuckles when he takes in your flustered expression. "Don't ask questions you aren't prepared to hear, then."

theodore nott and acknowledging the little things <3
.ೃ࿐ 🎞️
〰️
"i'm thinkin' about reading this new book," you spoke, your hands absentmindedly running through theo's ruffled hair in the way that you knew he loved. "mia told me it was good. my friend, remember?"
you really didn't want to bother him much whenever he seemed on the brink of sleep, but theo always insisted that he loved it whenever you talked while he was tired. he said it helped him fall asleep, which you couldn't deprive him of, so, late at night, propped up against your headboard with his head on your torso and his arms wrapped around your middle, you rattled off meaningless details about your day, from how you were a moment late to lunch, to that there was an ache in your left leg. sometimes, he responded, other times, he didn't, and you never pushed him to, either.
"the one who keeps holding you in class?" he muttered, and you huffed a laugh. since you'd developed a friendship with mia, you fell victim to talking a lot in class and getting held behind for extra work. theo loved complaining about it, too.
"yea." a soft smile tugged at your lips. "it's called 'the book thief'. from what i've heard, it sounds pretty good."
much to your surprise, theo seemed to wake himself up, drawing his head from your torso and instead, lightly resting his chin there. you peered down at him, a question in your eyes, but he spoke before you could.
"what's it about?" he asked, his eyes darkened in the dull light of the lamp on your bedside table. you breathed a laugh, skepticism creeping across your face.
"since when have you ever shown interest in what i read?" you inquired in return. often, you told your boyfriend about the books you were reading, and though he avidly listened, he never really asked about it much. below you, theo pursed his lips, face scrunching in what you couldn't guess the meaning of.
"since mia started giving you recommendations," came his reply after a bit of thinking. "why are you asking anyways? are you implying that i'm dumb 'cause i don't read a lot?" he sent you a sarcastically skeptical face, to which your mouth fell open to in mock surprise.
"i would never," you scoffed as if he was crazy for even thinking it. he kept that same look on his face for what felt like eternities until your hands reached out to tug the corners of his mouth into a smile. though he let you, each time you retracted your fingers, his mouth would drop back into that frown. "so difficult," you muttered with a laugh. theo tilted his head to the side.
"so?"
giving up, you dropped your hands at your sides and looked away, thinking back on your earlier interaction with your classmate and what she had said about the book. "i'm pretty sure it's about this german girl... something about her moving to a foster home 'cause her mom's on the run. takes place during the holocaust." your eyes strayed back to his own, which were intently assessing your face. you grinned. "why do you care, seriously?"
theo propped himself on his elbows, leaning up to kiss your lips. "can't care 'bout my girlfriend's life anymore, huh?" you giggled when he peppered your face with tender pecks, his lips soft and warm on your skin.
"answer the question, teddy." you poked his side, turning your head to the left so he could no longer kiss you. he sighed through his nose, leaning back again and shrugging as best as he could in his position.
"i dunno. i wanna talk to you," he uttered, and your laughter died, your smile blooming even further. you couldn't help but love him even more in those moments, your heart so full you felt it might explode inside your chest. "be part of your life more."
"you already are," you reassured, tilting your head to the side and reaching a hand out to run your fingers through his hair once more. he hummed his approval, resting his head on your torso the way he had before you had interrupted his sleepiness.
"okay. continue, please," theo stated against your clothed skin, hands gripping the hem of your shirt. you smiled.
"alright."
two weeks later.
〰️
the first thing you felt when you woke up was a chaste kiss against the skin of your forehead, shifting, and cold air. you struggled to open your eyes, still weak under the weight of sleep. theo's voice pulled you out a bit.
"gotta get to class, mi amore. i'll be back soon," he said. you hummed a small acknowledgment, not bothering to say anything more before you shifted below the sheets and faintly heard the door click open and closed.
an hour later, and you were sitting up against the headboard, yawning and stretching and rubbing the sleep from your eyes. the clock on your bedside table told you it was 8:03 am. still too early, but breakfast was calling to your empty stomach. you looked to the side, upset that theo was gone and expecting the sheets to be completely empty. they weren't.
a few inches from your thigh, was a thin, rectangular box. a present. it was wrapped up in a sort of newspaper design, tied with a red ribbon. calling to be opened. tentatively, you twisted your body, tucked your legs underneath you, and picked up the gift. it was cold and stark in your hands. not wanting to ruin the intricate paper design, you carefully unwrapped it, mind whirling to a bunch of different thoughts. today wasn't anything special. you couldn't think of a reason theo would gift you something, but then again, he did love buying you things without you even asking. was it even from theo?
your breath caught in your throat once it was all opened, a smile blooming on your lips. a copy of the book thief. it was— he even went with the color scheme to simply wrap it up. faded newspaper and red. you huffed a laugh, opening it up, and what was on the inside surprised you even more.
'turns out mia has good book taste.' he had read it? there was 525 pages in the book, and he read all of it. for you. flipping open the pages, what you found baffled you just further. he had left notes, as well, little annotations across the pages, with words like 'this made me think of you', or, 'we should do this together'.
mia had good taste, indeed.

doing this instead of studying 💪💪

a handful of my favourite drawings this year
gonna just bury a personal post in here too, give it a read if you fancy:
as i've said a few times, this is the first year in a long time where art has had no monetary component for me, and it still took a little while, but i feel like this is the year where i've actually managed to de-program myself from years of being a Twitter Artist, and switch over my mentality from drawing what i think people want to see, to what i want to make, and also learn not to force myself not to draw if i don't want to, and on that note i dunno if i'm just feeling residual burnout from the years of grinding out for twitter or what, but i was kinda surprised how small my appetite for drawing actually was
that said, when i do draw now, i know it's because i'm actually really excited to be doing it and i feel like it's shown in the results tbh, there's way less drawings this year where i felt like i'm just going through the motions and drawing for the sake of getting something out there, and i look back at basically everything i've drawn like "yeah, that was cool, and i had a lot of fun making it"
part of that is that i've also discovered just how important it is to actually enjoy every part of my art process, i've sorta just cut out parts i don't enjoy - i'm way more willing to just leave things looking slightly wonky, and i haven't done any fuckin lineart this year at all, i've cut that shit out entirely because i don't like doing it, instead i just spend 10 minutes cleaning up my sketches and go straight to colouring and it feels like nobody's even noticed, it rules lol, and i've put a bit more focus on making things that feel like "scenes" rather than just "pretty girl in white void (with optional background circle)", not that all my art needs to be that, but it's been satisfying taking the time to just draw little simple backgrounds or focus on building an overall vibe, rather than just the character
tl;dr dumbass girl learns to have fun drawing again by not giving a fuck
love u lot <3

Text: orange-ellie pink-reader blue-angela
The red text is flashbacks which is near the end !!
Masterlist || pt 1 ! , pt 2 !
"It's all an act. Dont fall for any of it."
...
"She's gunna hurt you Y/n."
...
"I'm not a completely great person, maybe I'm working on it I dunno. But I don't date. I can't it's just not in me."
...
"Don't start anything with her, you're too pure for her antics."
...
"She's not changing Y/n, she will hurt you."
...
"We warned you."
It was spiraling in your brain, everyone's words including hers. You felt foolish for thinking you could change her in any way. An absolute fool. Why couldn't you of listened to everyone. All you had was hope. But that died that night, that hope was officially gone for good. You had been curled up in bed all of your Saturday. You hated to admit it but you were crying. Laying in your bed with cold tears staining your face. You had come home from that party in the exact same state.
"Oh, babe.." you heard Angela's voice softly say, bringing you into her embrace. You sunk into the feeling letting out tears. "What's up?" She asks pulling back a little. "Y-you were right. I'm such a fucking idiot." You sob. She was confused. "Woah what, slow down." Her hand rubs on your arms, bringing you with her to sit on the couch. "Me and Ellie. Well we were dating in secret, I'm so sorry for that. But we aren't anymore." She changes her expression to a more serious one. "That fucking wh-" But you didn't even want her to finish that. You knew Ellie had hurt you but it was fairly new, you still had some love for her. As troublesome that may be it was nothing but the truth. You had to get over that tho. You had to.
You were laying on your side, still mulling over those same sentences over and over again. It was like a tiny devil in your brain telling you 'you fucked up' but you soon hear your door creaking open. "I made you some sammies." Angie came in with a sweet smile. Your back was currently facing her and you didn't make any effort in changing that as you let out a dry hm. She lets out a sigh. "I won't watch you starve because of some silly girl who's hurt you. Please." You turn over looking at her. "I'll eat, just not as hungry right now." She walks over setting the plate down on your bedside table, moving to sit on your bed. "You're strong ok? I know you will get past this." You give her a tiny nod. "I might just take a nap." She nods in agreement going to leave. "Good idea."
A few minutes go by when you hear the door. You couldn't make out the voice so you continue to rest on your side. Holding the drawing she did of you in hand, staring at it. All of this, everything just wasted. You couldn't bare to look at it any longer, chucking it in a random direction, deciding to get some rest.
Ellies pov.
The night before:
"Oh this one's going to be a good one I can feel it." I say, examining the crowds of people. It was booming, that's for sure. I look at her, she looked so effortlessly pretty. It stunned me. "You're so silly." She speaks. "Come on let's get a drink." I then say, grabbing her wrist and dragging her gently with me. Her smile was brightening every bad thing in this world. "I'll be the sober help." I smile at her. "Not even one love?" She just shakes her head. "Alright, just make sure you're comfortable yeah?"
It had been maybe an hour into the party and I didn't feel completely with it. Y/n was sitting comfortably in my lap, just looking so beautiful. "Mmm I want another." I slur. And there it was, her gorgeous giggle. "You're so gone Els-" "your laughs so pretty, makes my heart warm." I blurt out suddenly. "Well that's very kind of you." She replies. But as I keep looking at her I could tell something was off, or was I daydreaming? Was the alcohol just messing with my brain. I decide to ignore it, not in my right mind. "Can you pretty please get me another drink my beautiful girlfriend." I watch as she smiles at me, probably replying but the music drowns out not only my thoughts but any formable words. Feeling her get off and leave, I could feel my brain going fuzzy too. But deep down something just didn't feel 100%. I eventually turn my head to look at her, noticing Kenny speaking to her.
That boils my blood. Why can't he just mind his own business? Stop it Ellie, you haven't been angry like this in forever, don't break that streak now. She comes back over handing me my drink, I give her a mumbled thank you. "Was he hassling you?" "Who, Kenny? Nothing I can't handle my love." As I look at her I notice her posture shift, i knew it wasn't her getting comfortable on my lap. Because if anything she looked uncomfortable.
"You alright mama?" I decide to just ask. "I'm just going to go for a pee." She states, beginning to get off. "Oh.. alright love." I'd be lying If I said I wasn't worried, but the other half of me felt dizzy, making me forget slightly what was going on. I shake my head going to get up and get another drink. When I eventually hear shuffling next to me. I turn my attention to see a dirty blonde girl. "Hey." She gently says. It takes me a moment as confusion washes over me. "Hi?" Silence. "You don't remember me?" More silence. Because no, I didn't know who the hell she was, until I take a better look. "Sophy." She smiles. "Ah so you do remember." I somehow felt awkward. "Uhmm yeah." Still really confused on why she's even talking to me. "I missed you." Stunned. "I- huh?" Now I was really baffled. "But- i kinda just left ya." It was bad, but it was the truth, why would she miss me. "Yeah well. You were still hot." I furrow my brows at a loss of words. "I- wha-" When I suddenly feel her lips on mine, I felt all too sober right then as my eyes widen. But before I could push her away- "Ehem." I hear someone clear their throat, I don't even need to turn around to know who it was.
"Fuck.." I mutter, slowly turning to face her. "Wait baby no i-" I began but suddenly my freshly poured drink was being dumped on me. I sigh. "No." She points at me. "Ellie what the actual fuck." I stare at her, saying nothing. Not even knowing what to say. Fuck, it's like it's happening all over again, speak you idiot. My eyes widen as she starts to cry.. ive never seen her cry before, safe to say I never ever wanted to witness it again. "Y/n no no please-" "After everything we've been through, after what you told me. They were wrong. You cant change for anyone. I should've listened to them." I immediately shake my head. It was all wrong. "Don't say that please- it was an accident fuck- she just-" But she cuts me off, shoving the cup into my chest. "Shut up Ellie." And I listen. I couldn't fuck things up any more then i have. Right...
It was silent, after a second or two she soon goes to leave. "Wait-" I start, but it was no use. She was gone in the swarm of people. "Fuck." I curse under my breath. I couldn't let this happen, not her. Not someone who I know I've fallen in love with. God Ellie you should've just told her. I wanted to make this right, after all she was my everything. I stride through the crowds when I spot her. I notice she isn't alone. God, does Kenny ever just fuck off. There's that anger again, but nothing was stopping me this time. I March on over there, pushing him to the ground ignoring all the fallen gasps. "Ellie what the fu-" "He touched you!" I retort. "You bitch." He starts to speak, getting off the floor and making an attempt to hit me, but he misses. "Fight round two then, you fucker." And it begun, the tiny fight between us. But I notice her going to leave. "Wait no- please let me explain!" I yell, grabbing onto her wrist. She immediately pulls back, with anger herself. "No Ellie. Don't ever touch or even speak to me again." "They weren't right, you have changed me i swear to you!" I plead, but she just shakes her head. "Once a dick. Always a dick. You. Have. Not. Changed."
And that was that. I watch as she leaves. I felt so empty like I had just lost my best friend. What the fuck was I going to do.
Missed calls. I called her so many times, I was freaking out. Think Ellie. God. This was suppose to be the one thing I didn't fuck up. I pace in my room, debating on what is the best approach. Nothing. "Come on brain. You can be creative, don't lack in that now!" There was one option. Going to her dorm and trying to talk to her, Angela. There needed to be a backup plan tho, I had no faith in the first one. I flop on my bed with a long sigh. "You made her cry.." it hurt to even look back on, her hurt features. Her anger, but most importantly those glossy eyes. I close mine trying to get the image out, laying on my back still thinking. "Fuck it." I get up and head over to her dorm. Knocking on the door hesitantly, when Angela is suddenly in sight. "Can I spe-" "No." She immediately cuts me off. "But-" "No Ellie you broke her fucking heart. Again. Why do you always do this to people." I stare at her. "This time was an accident I swear-!" She raises a brow. "You accidentally kissed someone? Yeah alright." There was no winning this. "Please just let me talk to her and explain." She looks at me, but not before shutting the door in my face. Great. What now?
It had been a few days later, and there was no sight of her in classes. Which was worrying, knowing how involved she was with the work. It was saddening to say the least. I decided to have a small wind down in the library, wanting to clear my thoughts in the safe space. When I spot her just sitting in a corner, reading. Was I dreaming? I haven't seen her in days. My feet felt like they were glued to the floor, staring. Do I go over? Talk to her? What do I say?
All these thoughts raced through my mind when I just stood up properly, beginning to head over there. I stand for a few moments in hopes she'd see a person's shoes and look up. As her head rises I notice her eyes. Tired. Worn out. Red and puffy. My heart breaks all over again, especially when her soft expression turns into a bitter glance. "I uh-" I sigh scratching my neck. "Can we talk?" There was silence. Not our enjoyable silence that we'd always share. A cold silence. "Nothing to talk about." I swallow hearing her voice for what felt like forever. And it hurt, the pain deep inside her. "Please." Pleading. I just needed to try say something. I bend down getting infront of her view, needing her to look at me. When she does I just pray she hears me out. "Go on." I soften my look, hearing how uneasy her voice was. I know I didn't mean for all of this to happen, but how could I. How could I of let her kiss me at all- my thoughts were cut off when I hear a faint cough. "She kissed me." Great going. "No really? I'm well aware." God damn Ellie. "I just- I mean, I didn't kiss back." "I saw you Ellie, that's such bullshit." I close my eyes. "Ok, well I didn't enjoy it." She scoffs. "So you admit you did kiss her back?" Now I was silenced. Shit. "Uhhh- well- fuck sake."
She shakes her head. "Just leave me alone." She says dryly, getting up from her spot about to leave. I go to grab her, but don't. Wanting to not repeat history. "Please just let me explain more." She bites her lip, and I know she's suppressing tears. "You've said enough." And so I let it be. Letting her walk off and out of the quiet building.
A few weeks. That's how long ago the library incident first happened. I hadn't seen her around since. Had she left.. like Noelle. "No, don't be silly she loves it here she would never. Not because of me, right?" I huff, that had become a habit, talking to myself. I was still on the mission to get her back or atleast explain things. But my brain was bone dry. It was currently the last class of the day, I rested my chin on the desk, still trying to think. "You know Ellie." Dina began. "Why don't you do something nice for her, give her a note saying to meet somewhere, maybe make her some food or-" I shake my head. "This isn't just some ordinary girl." Dina was honestly shocked. I turn my attention to her. "Shes more than that, I have to do something bigger." She pats my shoulder. "Maybe she has changed you Williams, cuz you've never spoken such things about anyone." It's true, she definitely did. "If this was you and Jesse had done this and you still loved him and such, what would you want him to do?" She ponders that question. "Well I suppose I'd want the truth from both. Him and this random girl." My face lights up. Genius! I smile wide going to hug her. "That's brilliant Dina! But- wait. How would I even do that." I ask. "I think you should figure this out on your own, if she really has changed you I think you should know what to do."
"I'm sorry for screwing you over." My words come out rushed, looking at Sophy with so much hope. She just looks at me. "Really?" I nod. "That's very big of you." She states. "Yeah well, just trying to mend past situations." There was a long pause, before either of us spoke. "Hey, I'm sorry for kissing you that night. I'm in no way that kind of person. Maybe when I'm drunk but I didn't even know you were seeing anyone, didn't even know the Ellie Williams ever could to be fair." The confession heals something inside me, letting that hope be reassured. "So you forgive me for being a complete jerk ages ago?" She smiles and nods. "Yeah we're cool." A sigh of relief escapes my lips. "So what's happening with her? Are you two speaking." I shook my head. "Shes mad and upset and to be honest I don't blame her. I did technically kiss you back-" "you didn't actually." I furrow my brows. "Huh-?" So incredibly confused. "But she said she saw it-" Sophy shakes her head. "Well I didn't feel anything. You must've been talking or something beforehand to make it look like you did, but you didn't. I remember most when I'm drunk and you never kissed back. Plus she caught it before it could progress."
Happy was an understatement. "That's incredible, oh my God I could just k-" we give eachother a look. "Yeah no, bad line to use." I let out a slight awkward laugh, making her shake her head with a smile.
She agreed to help me smooth things over and I was forever thankful. "How do we go about this?" She asks. I think for a moment. "Maybe you could knock on her door and ask to speak with her, and maybe clear the air. Might be best if I'm not there so you can talk properly?" "Sounds good, I don't see a problem with that." I let out a breath of relief. "Ok awesome, thank you."
And after an hour or so she was back. "So how'd it go?" I sit up. "What's something she loves?" I was incredibly confused. "Reading, painting, music. Why?" She leans on the wall. "Shes a kind person, I think she forgave the fact I had apologized, but I reckon you should now do something so she can forgive you completely." I let that sink in and I knew just the thing.
Readers pov
It had been a long day, stressful classes, tons of work. Thank fuck it was a Friday and you could wind down again. You were currently snuggled up on the couch, watching some random cheesy romcom on the TV. Considering it was a Friday that meant Angela was at her boyfriends, so dorm all to yourself. You're brought back out from your thoughts to a knock at your door. Odd. Who on earth. As you open it you spot a girl, not really even processing when you suddenly remember. "Hi, can we talk quickly?" You were shocked nonetheless. What was she even doing here. You let her in anyway, your intrigue getting the better of you. You both make your way over to the couch in silence. "I would like to apologize for kissing something that didn't belong to me." She begins. You on the other hand stay silent and let her finish. "I was drunk- and that's never an excuse, but I do, do crazy shit when I am, I'm not that kind of person sober." There was a silence for a moment. "Doesn't excuse how she acted tho. I appreciate your apology." She nods. "Well if it's any constellation, she never kissed me back." That just confuses me. "Wait she didn't?" She shook her head. "I can assure you. It was just my goofy ass's doing." It only makes you feel a little silly for not knowing the whole story. "I feel embarrassed-" "don't, if anything i probably would've done the same, besides she didn't have the best track record did she? It's no surprise you'd assume." You're now the one to shake your head. "I shouldn't of, I should've let her atleast try and explain."
"Thank you for coming to clear it up with me." You say, escorting her out the door. "Of course, only right thing to do." You nod, giving her a smile. "Although I would've liked her to of come to do so- I know she's tried but I dunno- you think shes given up on trying to fix this?" She lets out a tiny laugh. "Far from that, give it some time yeah? If you know Ellie she never half asses things she loves." You just hope that's true.
It had been a few days later. Two to be exact. And you were currently on your way back to your dorm room. You were about to get your keys when you realize it's already open. "Angie?" You begin, but once you open the door you're greeted by those green eyes. That pale, freckled skin. "Ellie-" You breathe out, setting your things down. Wondering what on earth she's doing here. You notice a few things, like her guitar, then you suddenly smell food. "What is all this." "My apology." You let her continue knowing you had been a bit hard on her. "I made your favorite meal, and I know you were busy today as it was a Friday, so let me take care of you. I'm going to play your favorite song as you relax." Your gaze softens. No one had ever done this for you. Ever. So it melts your heart completely. "Here, come sit." She gestures. You go over to the couch, sitting down as she prepares her guitar, situating it properly in her lap. She begins to play the song Fade Into You by Mazzy Star, your entire face lights up. It hadn't been this bright in awhile, and Ellie seeing that makes her truly happy. Once the song finishes she looks at you. That comfortable silence being back and better than anything. "I- that took me maybe a week to learn, and honestly it wasn't easy but its the easiest song I've ever had to lea-"
But she was cut off by you kissing her. She missed it so much, how soft and safe your lips felt against hers. She was happy again. You pull back to get a look at her. "No one's ever done anything like that for me." She smiles wide. "I've never done anything like that for anyone." She states. "Well I'm glad I was the one." Another comforting silence. "You are the one." Your heart skips a beat at her words, just hearing them makes you giddy inside. "You really think so?" She shakes her head, making you furrow your brows in confusion. "I know so." And that sudden worry was gone again. All you wanted was to kiss her, she got the feeling. Setting the guitar down and bringing you closer. Kissing you so sweetly. You both part. "Well let's eat I bet you're hungry." You nod. "Starved." Your hand reaches out grabbing the plate of pasta. "Smells amazing, I didn't know you cooked." She laughs. "Again with the assuming my love." You put your hands up in your defense. "Didn't say you didn't look like the type to! ... although." A cheeky grins spreads across your face. She lets out a chuckle going to lightly hit your arm. "You're a menace." You begin to eat the meal, and it wasn't too bad. Had all the good flavorings, the perfect amount of cheese which she knew. "No one knows me as well as this, it's quite special to me." She puts her plate down to speak. "No one?" You shook your head. "Not even my parents."
She looked shocked. "Well, glad I could be the one who listens properly. Even though it truly isn't a hard thing to do." You nod at her statement. "You are a good listener. You know how I can tell?" "How?" She leans back intrigued, you take a moment. "Whenever I talk about something and I forget what we were talking about, you always will remind me of the exact thing in best detail that I was speaking of. And always it rejogs my brain. That is how I know you're truly listening." She smiles at you. "You're so cute." The compliment makes you blush, hard. "I missed you." You blurt. "I missed you too angel, so much you have no idea."
That night had been the most relaxing night of your life. It ended with her sleeping in your bed cuddling you until you fell asleep, the safeness you felt was undeniable. It was a regular Tuesday, not too busy but also not so quiet. It all went down hill with the last assignment you got, since you had been a bit out of it recently. You must admit you were slacking. It's not like you at all but you were determined to redeem yourself. That is until the project was due in 2 days. A project this big, no way in hell you were getting it done by then. Not unless you stayed up all night and day. It didn't help that you had classes ontop of that. Stress started to arrive as you go over the assignment. You were currently at the library, skimming it over and over. You begin to bite your lip, chewing and searching for any loose skin as that seemed to help you in some way. It's like a calming technique you picked up through the years, although the consequences aren't so calming. You would forever get ulcers that prevented you from eating because of the infuriating pain. You needed to stop doing it truth be told. You were pulled from the slight manic reading when Ellie is heard. "Hey baby, whatcha doin." She sits down across from you. "Just this assignment." You give her a smile. "How was your day?" You ask her.
"Pretty boring, but hey. Not anymore." She smiles at you now too. "Wanna do something later, you can come over and we can just chill." God that sounded nice but you knew you had to decline. "You can do this and maybe I draw or practice guitar, whatever suits you." God she was so sweet and thoughtful. "That's such a beautiful offer, Els but I think I'm just going to go back to my room to try finish this." And Ellie being Ellie she was agreeing. "Ofcourse yeah! Let me know if you need some company at all." She goes to get up, but before leaving giving you a kiss. "Bye baby." You kiss her back. Once she's left you look back at the work. "Right, let's go." You say packing it up and heading to your dorm.
"Hey." Angie says coming in. "I made some food it's out there if you want it." You nod, focusing on all the papers on your bed. "Whats all this?" You look at her. "Just some work I needa catch up on." She looks at it, then you. "Ok, well please eat." "Uhuh." You didn't take your eyes off of the sheets of paper, scribbling a few words on it. She let out a sigh which you hadn't even heard her do. She leaves soon after, closing the door.
8:01
-Hey sweetheart, just checking in. Making sure everything's ok. :)
You had been so engrossed that you hadn't even felt your phone go off, let alone hear the damn thing.
8:37
-hey sorry, yeah everything's going fine.
-want that company?
-you know, yeah. I'd love that, that sounds nice.
-be there soon. <3
You stop for a moment letting out a breath, you were looking through everything when your face drops, realizing you had completely missed a whole section. "Fuck." You curse going to grab it. There was absolutely no way you were finishing this on time now, you hadn't even seen it how are you going to put this in all of a sudden. "God damn it." "Everything alright?" You jump at the sound of Ellies voice. She holds a hand out. "Woah- didn't mean to startle you it's just me." You shake your head. "Sorry- just a bit jumpy I didn't expect you yet." You reply. She looks at your bed. "This is alot of work." You sigh, trying your hardest to stay positive. You turn your focus on her. "You brought your sketch book." She smiles going to sit in your desk chair. "Sure did, needed to do some doodling." You nod at her, going to continue to figure out what to do with this crap. "What's all this even for?" She asks. "English. Kinda stupid but oh well." Her brows furrow. "You love English tho." "Mmm, I do. But not when it's like this.." you sigh again. "You alright tho?" You nod at her question, flashing a smile. "Yeah, I'm good." She smiles at your own, going to start to draw.
The next night was harder, the whole day was. Trying to find spare time to get more done. It was nearly impossible. Your stress was increasing, making your anxiety appear. You were tearing your hair out in your bedroom. "Hey, have you eaten today?" You hear Angela's faint voice. "Mhmm." You lie. She huffs. "Im worried about you." Your eyes never leave your page. "Well I'm all good in the hood." You slightly joke around by saying that silly saying. "I'm serious Y/n. You hardly have a break from that." That went straight over your head not even hearing what she's saying. She sighs going to close the door again.
-can you please come over.
-why what's up?
-she's freaking me the fuck out, she's not eating I don't even think shes fucking slept, I notice shes been acting incredibly off and it's very worrying.
-slow down, why do you think all this?
-the food from last night was still sitting out this morning. She said she'd eat it and she hasn't. Her eyes are so bloodshot I could see from the millisecond she looked at me. Her bags were prominent too.
-oh Jesus.
-please come over here, I think she really needs you right now.
-I'll be over right away.
Your breath was shakey as you talk to yourself about what you had to do. Your room was a complete and utter mess. Paper, pens, folders. Everywhere. You were so engrossed by it you hadn't even heard your door open. "Y/n?" You heard, you turn your attention to the voice. "Hm?" She saw. Ellie saw what Angela was talking about. "Angie said you haven't eaten." You wave her off. "Can't." She was confused. "And why not?" You pull your lip down to the unsurprising ulcer that had formed. You let your lip rest back, getting back to your studying. "Well I'm going to go reheat the food I'll be right back." You give her another hum, not focusing on a word that came out her mouth. When all of a sudden, the stress was just gone. Your face sits still. Uh oh. That stress had now been replaced with anxiety. Shit. You couldn't let her see you like that. You had to stay calm. But once a panic attack occurred. There was no stopping it. Your breathing became more heavier, taking in breaths to hopefully get that heavy feeling that was on your chest away. No use. It only made things worse, making you freak out again. You felt like you couldn't breath, grabbing onto your sheets feeling tears start to come. Your entire body shaking from the arising panic attack, but also from the lack of sleep. It was going to catch up eventually. It just had to be now. "It might be a bit too hot so just-" Ellie begun. But immediately put the bowl down on your nightstand.
Her movements were speedy coming to crouch down infront of you. She watched you cry your heart out, breathing as if there wasn't air. "Hey hey hey hey, look at me baby." You shake your head, never wanting her to see this. "Please." Her gentle touch makes you reluctantly do so, still letting out streams of tears, shaking uncontrollably. "Shhh." She softly let's out, rubbing your knee. "I-i can't. I can't breathe-" She stands up gently grabbing your hand and putting it to her chest. "Yes you can, youre ok I swear to you. See?" You look at her then your hand, still freaking out slightly, you can feel a ramble about to approach. "This stupid work- Its- suppose to b-be done by tomorrow and I'm nowhere near done. I can't fuck this up because I had been slacking because of everything- and then I messed up on this last night, I h-have absolutely no time during the day because of other classes everything's so messy and I don't know what to do." You sob more. Her heart shatters at your unsteady voice and sobs. She wants to hug you but also doesn't want to overwhelm you even more. "Slow down yeah, once you take a small breath you'll be ok, trust me?" She squeezes your hand reassuringly, letting you know she's right there. "Youre safe. You're going to be just fine. I'm right here." Her voice was so delicate, you let your mind listen to it feeling the sobs begin to slow. "That's it there you go. Can I give you a hug sweet girl?"
You nod at her kindness, wrapping your arms around her torso and resting your head on her chest. She softly kisses your head hugging you tightly. Your grip also tightens not wanting to let go. "Can we stay like this?" You mumbled into her hoodie. "As long as you need angel." Your eyes close, listening to her steady heartbeat. Feeling that tiredness take over. "Can you try eat a small bit before you get some well needed rest, please?" You nod sheepishly, pulling back but still keeping close to her. "Can you stay with me tonight.." Your voice was unsteady but you honestly didn't care you were more than comfortable with her seeing you like this, you thought you wouldn't be, infact you worried about it for nothing. Maybe that's the same for alot of silly things you stress over. "I still dunno what I'm going to do about this stupid work." Your head lowers, looking at your hands in your lap. She thinks for a bit. "Leave it to me ok?" Your eyes move to look at her. "No no, it's ok-" "Please baby. Let me help you." Her hands gently grab your cheeks, and you just give her a nod. "Good, let's get you to eat then some rest hm?"
It was probably a few months that had gone by, you and Ellie were stronger than ever. Doing so well. You were currently over at hers, her roommate being out, you two were just hanging about in her bed. Laughing, smiling, talking. It was a lovely way to spend your evening together. When she turns to you. "Hey pretty girl." She smirks slightly, glancing ar your lips. "Hello." You reply cheerful. You notice her eyes, wanting to kiss her, leaning in to do so. Her hands sneak to the small of your back as the kiss was slow but heated, with intense passion. "Have you." Kiss "Ever thought." Kiss .. kiss - it slowly moves to your jaw. "About sex." And your eyes go ghost. Your mind runs, your heart pounds. Because no you haven't and there's a divine reason why. "I know I have."
"Don't move you little bitch."
You swallow. "I uhm- I dunno exactly." You could tell Ellie was in the mood, and her kisses were so nice-
"Absolutely pathetic, and you're letting this happen."
You blink furiously. "You make me so happy." The kisses continue, and you freeze. Just like all those years ago. "Youre so pretty baby." Your heart rate picks up again. Your anxiety peeking. "E-ellie.." You wanted to try to tell her. Considering you haven't mentioned it yet. "Mmm?" Her kisses move down to you neck, everything was soft but..
"Dumb. Fucking. Cunt."
You could feel slight tears. "Is this ok?" She asks. And when you don't respond she asks again. "Baby?" Then suddenly she feels something wet hit her nose. "My love?" She looks up this time, seeing the small tears. "Hey, hey." Her voice was velvet, making more tears fall. If anything you weren't as scared to do sex all over again, you felt so incredibly safe with her, and remembering all those flashbacks just proved how new all this was. It felt foreign. "Talk to me pretty." She goes to softly stroke your hair. "Was it something I said?" You just shake your head wrapping your hands around her wrist gently. "You're perfect." A silence. "Then why are you crying sweetheart." Her voice was as tender as her touch and you knew you were in love with this woman. "Because you're perfect." She smiles brightly. "Years ago, I was with this girl. We were together for 2 years when near the end she got incredibly toxic with me. And she well in some words-" You didn't even need to finish your sentence, Ellie knew and immediately hugged you. You returned it tightly, like you always did. That silence came back and it was incredibly comforting. "I love you." You hear her voice whisper in your ear. Pulling back to look at her a little surprised. "You don't have to say it b-" But you cut her off bringing her in for a kiss again. "Yes." That confused her. "I've thought about it with you and yes." Then the smiles return, and so do the heated kisses.
After a short while she moved to be more ontop of you but stops briefly. You look at her, she looks way too good right now. "Can I eat you out angel." Her face was close to yours but the way she asked only turned you on more, the fact she's such an angel with this all is an even bigger turn on for you. "Please do." You breathe. Feeling her slowly take off your shirt, she looks at your breasts admiringly. "You're flawless." You felt heat rise to your cheeks, but not because you were anxious or anything, because your whole body felt like it was heating up, all because of how loving she was. She moves her lips to kiss one slowly turning into a gentle suck, around the skin and on your hardened bud. You breathe out, but even that sounded pretty to Ellie. Making her close her eyes at everything right now. She couldn't get enough of you. "You're so beautiful, so incredibly pretty." She blabs on. Her kisses move down your stomach. Keeping with her tender like touch. She slowly but surely pulls your pajama pants down along with your underwear. She takes a moment to take this all in. "Want to take my time yeah? Promise it's not in a teasing way. You truly don't deserve that especially not right now. Just want to savor hm?" You nod, biting your lip ever so slightly.
"You sure it's ok mama?" She rubs circles on the fat of your thigh. You give her a nod but she shakes her head. "Wanna hear you verbally say it, please?" Your smile grew. "Yes Ellie I promise its ok, please do it." Your soft voice made her smile grow. "Angel girl.." She began, gently stroking your clit. Your breath hitches at the feeling. "Need to make you feel good, gotta." Her mouth slowly comes down to you, licking softly. Delicately. That then turns into sucking and she did not disappoint. She in fact was making you feel good. Amazing even. She keeps the pace, eventually looking up at you and the way you'd react to everything. When you felt her tongue go in you, you lost it entirely. Your mouth hung open with so much pleasure everything felt so natural. It always did. "Mmm, knew you'd be as sweet tasting.. such a perfect girl." You let a moan slip. "E-ellie i-" "Mhmm, feel you clenching on my tongue. I got you baby. I got you." This woman didn't make you last long at all but in hindsight. You were not at all complaining. Because as you began to cum, you feel the most incredible orgasm approaching. You felt content, safe. Secure. "Thereee you go Angel. Atta girl." She mumbles letting you ride out your high on her tongue. "Mmm Ellie please I need you so bad." She licks her lips coming up to your face. "Yeah love?" You nod. She goes to take off her clothes, going to get back ontop of you.
But she stops again. "Why don't we try this." She goes to lay down on her back getting you to straddle her. "You be in control okay? I'm right here to help. Just want to make sure this is perfect for you. All I want." You look at her lips, leaning down to kiss them. Her hands tangle in your hair, giving you a tender scalp massage as the two of you kiss. You situate so your pussys directly on hers, not moving just yet, going to sit up a bit. You begin to move shortly after. Watching as you both open your mouths. Her soft grunt made your stomach do flips. "You're so perfect Els.." Your breath became uneven, in the best way possible. She looks down at the two of you then back at your face, your features. "God your ethereal." Another moan escapes you as you speed up. "Good girl, doing so good." The praise went straight to your core helping egg your orgasm on. "C-Can we cum together, please?" Her heart fluttered at your words. "Ofcourse my angel. Wouldn't want anything more than to do so." Your pace picked up again, letting more moans slip from your pink lips. "So well, so incredibly good. Fuck." You knew she was getting close you could just tell. And so were you. Her hands rest on your thighs, squeezing the flesh. "Ready mama?" You nod with her, cumming with moans. Grunts. Of eachothers names even. As you rode out your high making sure Ellies was met too, your body became weak. Flopping onto her torso. "I love you, Ellie." You say back from about 30 minutes ago. Her smile was like it was tattooed onto her face. "You truly have changed me, Y/n.. and for the better." You close your eyes. Feeling yourself drift of to sleep. She kisses your head, stroking your hair gently. "Wanna marry you some day even.."

noelle holiday age progression chart
without height lines
Tumblr media
explanations of designs:
hi yall
so, i actually finished this drawing like a week ago lol. but i didnt want to post a bunch of drawing in a row, and then i got sick, so i havent been able to post it till now!
its my imaginings of what noelle looked like as she grew up, and a potential adult noelle design! ill explain my thought processes about these designs below, if anyones interested 😁
i also plan on doing one of these with dess, but this one was pretty difficult, so it might be awhile before that (unless yalls are interested in seeing it?)
first off, im not 100% sure ill keep using all these designs. some of them im not that happy with (im no good at designing outfits 😔) but i just went with them so i could finish the drawing. so if anyone has any alternative outfit ideas for any of her ages, id be interested in seeing/hearing it!
secondly, something that may stick out to yall for all the designs is how tall she gets. its the same height i normally draw her with, but given how i usually draw her by herself you cant really tell how tall she is! i have 3 main reasons for why i headcanon her as this tall: deer are pretty tall irl, so having her be tall makes sense in my head; i just like the look of her being super tall, it makes me happy lol; and third, i personally also headcanon the holiday family as boss monsters (i think ive explained this headcanon before on here, so i wont explain again, unless someone is interested ^^). so yeah, she ends up being 7 feet tall as an adult, the second tallest in her family!
also, i gave all her children forms stripes in some way, as a reference to when monster kid in undertale says they can tell frisk is a kid because of their stripes!
now onto my explainations for individual drawings!
theres nothing really to say about her baby design. the only thing i did that might be new is give her faun spots! they are most plentiful on her baby form, but they persist until shes in her teens, i would say (on here you cant see them after age 7, but thats just because i imagine they are mostly on her back). and i gave her a cute lil onsie that says a-deer-able! if you guys cant read it ^^
this outfit i made for her toddler design is actually an outfit ive used in the past! i wonder if yall know what drawing it was? its pretty much the same as it was there, i just added a stripe to the shirt. i felt like overalls are so reminiscent of childhood, i had to give at least one of her designs them! i also added a little mistletoe to the front pocket, to make it more christmas-esque. and i gave her some bandaids, just cause.
7 years old is one of the designs i really struggled on, and im still not happy with it. i dunno if ive said this yet, but i headcanon noelle to be trans, so at 7 is when i decided she started realizing it. so here i gave her long sleeves and pants, to show how shes more hidden now because shes unhappy with herself, if that makes any sense? i was also trying to make her look a bit like a nerd, with the button up and khakis, just because its funny. but yeah, ill probably end up changing this design at some point :P
11 years old was one of the easiest to do, considering how ive had her design for this age for awhile lol. one thing i did change was going from 2 red/white stripes to one, but ive done that before, so it wasnt something entirely new. i also gave her a smile and closed eyes, cause shes happy being a girl 🥰. other that that, its the same, so yeah, thats it for this part
okay, this next design is a fairly different looking one than all the rest, but i have my reasons! at this point in noelles live, dess has gone missing, so i wanted to show her being sad and stuff. i also gave her shoes and long sleeves because she probably goes out looking for dess when she can, hoping to find a lead 😭. but outside of in-story stuff, this outfit is based off of an old one i drew, but its fairly edited, so i wouldnt be surprised if no one recognizes it even if they have seen my old stuff. she has straight hair here, to show how unhappy she is (idk what it is about straight hair it just feels sad) and because i wanted to give her different hair varieties on this progression chart. i gave her antlers 2 prongs each at this point, because the way i see deer monsters, their antlers show their growth/aging, so youll see them getting bigger and having more prongs as the chart continues.
this outfit for 15 is another one i dont like. i tried to make it similar to her current outfit, but still pretty different. im not even sure what precisely i dont like about this outfit, it just doesnt feel that good. for this one i gave her leg warmers because i used to (and sometimes still do) draw her normal outfit with them. i gave her the curly hair she has as a callback to when i used to draw her hair like that! but yeah, ill probably end up redoing this one too
for 17, i just gave her the normal outfit, so it was easy ^^. in game i think shes 16, but close to turning 17, so i just went with 17 here to fit the +2 age pattern thing i had going on. i also gave her an extra horn prong than i normally give her, just to show age once again
finally, her adult design! i dont like this one either lol. i spent so long trying to think of what outfit to give her, but i couldnt come up with something i liked >.< so i just gave her something simple. i feel like once noelle graduates high school and probably goes to college she branches out more and tries things her mother never let her do, which is why i gave her an outfit like that, that has a crop top and a shorter skirt. also, yalls might recognize the hair style i gave her, i drew a potential adult noelle before and i gave her the same hair ^^
i think thats all for the post! i probably have more thoughts that im just not thinking of, but its fine for now. i hope yall enjoyed the drawing, and if you have any question or comments or whatever, go ahead and say them!! if youve made it this far, have a cookie, you must be hungry after reading so much ^^ 🍪

I decided to break down down this absolutely beautiful poster because I love it and there is some interesting content to notice <3
Tumblr media
Starting from the big character portraits:
Tumblr media
The Hecboi being his usual badass self. You can spot his earrings which I love, it's such a cute detail <3
Tumblr media
Isaac practicing his "step on me daddy" routine. yes sir i get it your boots are fabulous and your pants can't contain your d
I find highkey underrated how Kojima associated him with skulls in official artwork. I wish it didn't get lost in time lol.
Tumblr media
Trevor, my friend Trevor :) much more serious than the sass master he is in the game lol
Tumblr media
Julia taking care of Hector's Innocent Devils :)
Side note, while I love most of their designs in the game, I find Kojima's idea of what Hector and Isaac's Devils could look like very fascinating. I like how she draws dragons.
Tumblr media
The big man himself, St. Germain standing in front of a clock, and Zead holding a four-leafed clover for good luck (+ Isaac again lol)
Now, the more minute detail, going anti-clockwise:
Tumblr media
Not only we can see Dracula's Castle, but the figure in the center is the Devil Forgery lab in the PtR manga:
Tumblr media
Another underrated detail of lore :)
Tumblr media
Oh, this one is just. juicy <3 It took me ages to understand what's going on, but with some help I finally realized it.
So this is essentially the moment where Hector went to Dracula and was like "hey boss, would you mind if you stopped to order me to kill humans? dunno if you noticed but i'm human too and it feels weird. thanks", and Dracula was like "hmm. let me think about it. no. have a nice day :)".
In the PtR manga, it was depicted like this:
Tumblr media
With Dracula threatening Hector with his extended claws, and then throwing him off the castle keep. i don't know what you were expecting, man
But in the poster, he's straight up holding Hector by his throat and stabbing him with the fingers of his bat wings! So much that you can see blood dripping from his mouth! Ouch!
This only proves my headcanon that Devil Forgemasters are superhuman and can withstand wounds that would kill a normal person.
also, between this and his sippy attack in the game proper, dracula sure likes to manhandle hector a little too much.
Tumblr media
the besties going to work <3
You have no idea how much this little drawing pisses me off. This is the closest thing I have of a canon depiction of Hector and Isaac working as Devil Forgemasters.
I need to see them slaughtering humans together in my bloodstream D: not even NFCV had the courtesy of depicting a villain Hector actually doing villain things D: guys. guys the potential-
Aside from that, this also incidentally proves that PtR's interpretation of Isaac's fabulous outfit (being what is left of his normal Devil Forgemaster outfit after Hector destroyed it) is retroactive. My man was apparently already going shirtless just because he felt like it. Imagine being killed by Dracula's most loyal soldier and your last sight in life is his tiddies. King shit.
also
Tumblr media
yeah it's stupid but that's the vibe i get lol
Tumblr media
I get it, Kojima-san, you love your blorbo. understandable
A bit more seriously, I really appreciate how much Isaac doesn't have the certified Kojima Pretty Man face, he's instantly recognizable. I like his big nose :)
Tumblr media
Hector practicing Devil Forging, a smaller version of this panel from the PtR manga:
Tumblr media
I like how in the poster it looks like a typical yin-yang symbol, but also closer to the black-and-white motif of the Devil Forging crest :) they look like two lil dragons chasing each other.
Tumblr media
why does isaac look 150% more naked without his shoulder armor
It's hard to tell which even this is supposed to represent. I guess it's his defeat at Hector's hands, if we take the black splotches on the ground as his outfit being slashed. Notice the crest on the floor, similar to the intro of the game!
Tumblr media
The worsties fighting. Hector is pissed and Isaac is a troll, must be a day ending in Y. they're flirting
Tumblr media
The End! Hard to tell if it's Hector's golden Devil or Abel, but it looks awesome <3
Tumblr media
This one... puzzles me. I can tell that Hector is being attacked by some little devils and he's defending himself. But why is he using a small pumpkin as a weapon??
(what if this is him trying to defend rosaly from the mob who accused her of being a witch :<)
Tumblr media
Hector angsting. Sadly I'm not sure of what kind of flower that's supposed to be, perhaps a dandelion? I wish it was a lily of the valley like in PtR.
Tumblr media
Our friend Trevor again. Interesingly, in the full poster, Isaac and Trevor are directly mirroring each other.
Tumblr media
Trevor being like "bruh are you for real" after whipping Hector's ass black and blue. (i hate his second fight so much...)
Tumblr media
I would say "Hector's revenge", but actually it looks like he's bleeding and in pain. So... I think this the moment when Dracula nearly clawed Trevor's eye out.
Tumblr media
Trevor and Isaac fighting! Love that scene in the game :D
isaac how are you even twisting yourself. what are you doing. you're showing off, aren't you.
Tumblr media
Not sure about what location these ruins are supposed to be, but fascinating detail of the skeleton holding a scale of justice. It's close to Zead...
tl;dr i want to eat this poster because it's just so fucking good and a great way to summarize the game

melted sugar
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: non-idol!hyunjin x gn!reader
genre: fluff + established relationship
word count: 0.7k~
warnings: food mentions. hyunjin down horrendous.
daisy's notes: men......... <3
Tumblr media
Hyunjin liked to linger behind you as he watched you work carefully. Sure, he couldn’t help you with making candy, but… It was fascinating to see you work your magic. 
Chris had invited the two of you to this little spooky get-together about a week or two ago now, and the day had finally arrived. You’d brought up making your own Halloween candy that day, too, and—with Chris’s permission and any allergies taken into account—you’d woken up this morning with the plans to spend the next few hours hard at work. Hyunjin had come in shortly after, standing by to supervise (more-so in the ‘make sure you don’t burn the shit out of yourself’ way than anything else) with his phone next to him in case of emergencies. 
He rested his head in his hand, watching as you were now working with melted sugar. You’d already made fudge the night before that he’d sliced up into cute little squares. “Why don’t you ever do this for me?”
“You never asked.” 
He felt a tiny smile tug at his lips at how casual you were in saying it. You weren’t exactly wrong, after all. “Would you?”
“Make you candy?” You glanced over your shoulder for a moment, and then shrugged as you turned back to your work. “I dunno. Maybe for your birthday or something. It’s kind of a hassle sometimes, but I’d do it for you.”
His heart swelled at the sentiment, so sweetly spoken as simple as anything else. Sure, he could maybe lovingly nag you a little for openly doing this for Chris’s party of all things (do you like him more than me?), but he knew you’d just repeat your little ‘you never asked’ statement again. He smiled a little wider, head resting in his hands as he admired you while you weren’t looking. Hyunjin wasn’t afraid to admire you openly, sure, but he liked having these little moments. It reminded him of how the two of you were before you started dating, where Hyunjin admired you from afar and caught himself thinking often about the way your eyes glittered with joy over things like this. He’d watched you draw out your designs for other things that he could help you decorate with little piping bags. 
Maybe one day the two of you could decorate shortbread cookies together. He’d seen plenty of those little videos of people decorating them in elaborate ways… Maybe you could teach him. The two of you could draw up designs together, and he’d use it as an excuse to stay close to you for a while. Not that he needed the excuse: he was just fine with doing what he was doing now. He liked sharing this space with you and admiring you hard at work. If he listened closely, he could always hear you softly singing under your breath as you worked. It always made him want to get closer to you. When you were cooking normally, he would: he’d come up behind you, and settle in to watch you work, arms wrapped around your frame. But not, with you working with sugar… He’d save it for later.
He glanced over to the squares of fudge, placed just out of his reach. The moment he began to stretch his arm out, you looked up—not at him, but as though you’d heard him moving despite the fact he swore he was dead silent. A moment later, you look back down, one hand reaching out for the dye near you. Hyunjin smiled to himself, stealing a piece of fudge and popping it into his mouth.
“All you have to do is ask, Jinnie.” 
He nearly choked for a moment, jerking in surprise. “You didn’t even hear me!”
“I can sense it,” you teased. “I made extra. Just don’t go crazy.”
“And if I do?” He smirked, teasing you back. “What if I don’t want to share with the others? Hm? You’re my partner. They should get their own if they want someone to cook for them—” 
Your laugh cut him off there, and he found himself smiling that soft, sappy smile all over again. You’d tease him if you saw it, he knew that you would, so he was enjoying being able to just admire you. “So possessive,” you hummed. “I’m not going anywhere, y’know.”
“I know,” he rested his head in his hand again. The fudge that melted on his tongue… But he would always think that your presence in his life was sweeter.

Lifegen mod with Owlkit!
One of these pieces of art has minor blood. Be wary if you proceed.
This will be me describing the journey of him in this post. He and his clan were generated randomly in Clangen. (If you dunno what Clangen is but you like Warriors... I definitely recommend playing it.)
Tumblr media
This lil guy is my heart and soul. His name is Owlkit and his parents are Silverneedle and Robinstar (as seen above)! It's actually quite fascinating considering Silverneedle is deputy. So, Owlkit was just born into importance LOL. He was lucky to have such loving parents too, they're absolute sweethearts!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, besides Owlkits status announcing his parentage, it also immediately announced that he had been scolded for trying to sneak out of camp and that Lionkit was scheming with him. So obviously I had to draw the two being mischievous...
At this point, Owlkit was only a moon old... So he shouldn't look like he's 4 moons in this but ey! Hush.
Lionkit was also about 5 moons when the clan began, so he's just about ready to become an apprentice! Decided to be a lil brat before the ceremony though for whatever reason. Troublemakers.
Tumblr media
In moon 2, Owlkit heard a hoot in the distance. When he looked up, he spotted its silhouette! I found this incredibly interesting, wondering if it was on purpose (doubt it) but decided to ponder on it being an omen.
He also was nudged out of the nursery and saw his mother, Robinstar, waiting for him with a freshly killed shrew ready to eat! It was super cute reading Owlkit thinking how appreciated he felt. Robinstar and Silverneedle are good parents and I love them.
Tumblr media
... I was right to be worried because in moon 3, an EAGLE tries to swoop up Owlkit and take him! Luckily, a warrior nearby, Oakbillow was able to jump in and save him!
While injured, his parents tried to stay supportive and help him be prepared for his apprenticeship by offering him pieces of prey so he can tell the difference between them by scent and taste.
Tumblr media
On a lighter note, on moon 4, Owlkit is shown the apprentice den and is reassured, knowing his parents will be there to support him on every step of his journey. He and Robinstar also play some Mossball!
I have never had a Clangen cat have such a close bond with their parents and it absolutely delighted me seeing these three be all cutesy and happy. Their family makes me happy beyond belief...
Unfortunately, he also had an argument with a warrior named Conkerglide for whatever reason. Luckily his parents were there to keep his mood up!
Tumblr media
Moon 5! Owlkit trails after the deputy, Silverneedle, with his chin and tail held high! Seriously, this made my heart clench when I read it. Silverneedle and Robinstar also encourage Owlkit to speak to the elders to learn all there is to being a warrior, healer or mediator.
A warrior named Mudfur also tells Owlkit to count on them when there's a difficult situation. Not too important but again, I found it cute! Owlkit has never done anything wrong ever.
...
...
Tumblr media
But then, as soon as I clicked the timeskip button for him to become an apprentice...
Tumblr media
Owlkit was swept away, drowning, while trying to save Oakbillow whom also drowned.
This absolutely shattered me. I was so excited to see him grow up only for his life to be swept up so quickly...
He was also trying to save Oakbillow, the cat who saved him from the eagle. It's just... Hrghh...
And then this status too?
Tumblr media
Ough... My heart.
...
But perhaps the story isn't finished yet.
I suggest you look out for part two ;3...

Monsters in Mandela: Blood in the Water
TW: Blood, Body Horror
Mark Heathcliffs nightmares have been giving him the feeling something terrible is going to happen, and when his friend Cesar Torres shows up to his house covered in blood the nightmares end up becoming reality for both.
Mark Heathcliff practically jumped out of the bed, trying to calm his heart rate after another nightmare, they had been getting worse, and this time he was seeing the town in his dreams. This latest one was at the abandoned church, horrific monsters crawling out of the doorway and running around the town. One always stood out, a creature with large bat wings. This time the monster had lunged straight for Mark before he had woken up. He took a deep breath, sitting in his room with a single light on, he picked up the phone by the nightstand, hesitating a moment before Mark pressed the buttons on his phone to ring Cesar Torres, he really needed to hear another person, something rattled him about that dream.
“Hello?” a groggy voice asked
“Hey, it’s Mark.” 
“Mark? It’s like… 3 in the morning, why are you calling?” Cesar asked.
“I-I, I had a nightmare.” Mark said, he cringed at himself, he felt like a child, being scared over nothing.
“A nightmare? Mark-”
“I know, I know, but I had to talk to someone!” Mark said, “Cesar it felt real…” He could hear a sigh on the other end.
“Okay, look, since it’s really late right now I’ll come over tomorrow and we can talk about it. You just have to remember it's only a dream, it should be easy to shrug off, it's not real.” Cesar replied.
“Right…” Mark replied
“I’ll see you tomorrow, good night.” 
“Night…”
The phone clicked off and Mark was alone again. He placed the phone on the receiver and laid back down on his bed, staring at the ceiling for who knows how long before getting back up, opening the drawer to the side table and pulling his notebook from the drawer, flipping through pages, pages of drawings from dreams and memories that stuck out to him. Remembering when he first saw that old church as a child, seeing horrible faces looking at him from within. He could still remember them clearly even now. He flipped to a clean page and started drawing out the monster from his dream. If he was gonna lose sleep, he might as well add another drawing to the book. 
He felt childish for bothering Cesar, but he couldn’t mention the dreams to his mom. She tried to be reassuring but never understood why they scared him so much, Mark hated mentioning anything about the church because it had always been chalked up to childhood imagination. Cesar was the only other person who knew about the reason why Mark had been so afraid of the place. 
He finished scribbling the image of the monster, with its large bat wings and long fangs. He put the book back in his drawer before attempting to fall back asleep.
"So the old church had monsters running out of it?" Cesar asked when Mark had finished explaining the nightmare
"Yeah, there’s one that keeps showing up, it had red eyes and bat wings… I had seen it a few times but it… attacked me in the dream last night, that’s why I was so freaked out, I’ve never had anything like that happen in a nightmare before.”
"Shit, that sounds… freaky." Cesar made a face, his brows furrowed and his mouth pursed slightly, “And you’re sure you saw St. Gabriels Church, and not any other?”
"Yeah… why?" Mark asked, tone slightly worried. Cesar changed his face to surprise and they looked away.
"It's nothing… well.” Cesar looked back at Mark, like they were mulling over the right words to say to the other, “Okay don’t freak out, but my mom told me two police officers were in the hospital because they went to St Gabriels, and something attacked them." 
"What!?" Marks eyes were wide. 
"It was probably something normal like, I dunno, some rando or something that attacked them, I don't think it was your bat demon, but I just thought it was a weird coincidence."
"Yeah, weird…" Mark felt anxiety rising. Cesar could see his face twist to worry, and saw him fidget with the cross on his neck, 
“You know it’s a coincidence, I really don’t think you need to worry about it!” Cesar said.
“I know I shouldn’t and I know it’s a dream but Cesar, I just… feel like something bad is going to happen. I just, I just know it's coming." he said. Cesar sighed and put his hand to Mark’s shoulder.
"Look y'know what, I think you're having weird stress dreams, you just have to… let it go? I think if you give yourself something fun to do this weekend, we could even hang out again if you want. I think your bad feelings will disappear, alright man?" They smiled to Mark, who smiled weakly back,
"That… that sounds good."
"See! That's all you need.” Cesar turned to the clock on the wall, jumping at the realization of the time, “I better head home, call you later, but not in the middle of the night again.” Cesar said, Mark let out a halfhearted laugh.
"Yeah, call you later" 
He watched the other leave. Mark kept his hand around the cross, Cesar was probably right, he was just stressed. Everything would work out. He clasped both hands around the cross.
“Please let it be okay, I know it’s just a dream but please please let everything turn out okay.” He whispered quietly to himself. He hadn’t done this since he was a kid, but he’d hoped that it could give him some comfort until the weekend.
Friday evening, Mark hadn’t called again talking about strange nightmares, so Cesar thought that the other took his advice and was feeling better. His house phone rang, he picked it up from the wireless receiver and spoke,
“Hello.”
“Hi Cesar,” His mom’s voice responded on the other end, “Sorry honey, they need all hands on deck at the hospital tonight, I won’t be home. Do you think you’ll be okay on your own?”
“Oh yeah Mom, I’ll be fine.” he responded,
“You remembered to lock the doors?”
“Yes.”
“And the windows?”
“Yes.”
“And the security systems on?”
“Yes, you don’t have to worry about me Mom, I’ll be fine on my own for a night.” Cesar wandered the house, phone still to his ear, double checking the windows and doors locks, to make sure everything was secure. You could never be too careful.
“I know, I can’t help it sometimes.” his mom replied.
“I will be okay, I’ll give you a call again soon, I love you.”
“I love you too hon.”
He clicked the phone off, putting it back on the holder. It wasn't uncommon for his mother to need to stay at work longer, she was trying to not do that as often since the robbery when luckily neither had been home. Once Cesar was satisfied with his check through the house he started to look through the kitchen cabinets, deciding to make dinner. They rummaged for a bit before 
Thunk
He paused, listening for another sound.
Thunk
 It sounded like the sound of something hitting a window. He quietly opened the cutlery drawer, grabbing a kitchen knife, moving closer to the sound, it sounded like it was coming from the living room, before they could turn the corner of the kitchen to the living room, he heard a
SMASH
Something broke the window. Cesar’s heart raced, beating so loud it was all that they could hear. They stayed quiet, listening, Holding the knife up and entering the living room cautiously, seeing the busted window but no one there, no sound save for wind blowing the curtains. Their eyes scanned everywhere, but it seemed as though no one was there. Everything was eerily still for a moment.
Until Cesar felt hands grab his shoulders.
He screamed struggling against whatever was holding him, they dropped the knife, trying to pull away from it, clawing at the hands with an iron grip on his shoulders. He continued to scream and struggle until something sharp stabbed into his neck. He froze, white hot pain rushed through their body. Cesar's blood felt like it was boiling. Just as suddenly the assailant let him go, and Cesar dropped to the floor. He held onto the wound on his neck, trying to stop the bleeding and used his other hand to push himself off of the floor, he didn’t look to see if the attacker was still here, Cesar ran, stumbling out the door of the house and running to find help.
BANG BANG BANG someone pounded against the front door. Mark opened it to Cesar holding his neck, white shirt stained in crimson, breathing haggard and his eyes wide.
“Oh god Cesar!” Mark quickly took him in, Cesar stumbling slightly and Mark holding him up.
“What happened?”
“I don’t… it was behind me… I was attacked…” was all he managed, gasping and stumbling, Mark could see his eyes flutter slightly.
“I’m… tired” his voice barely cracked a whisper.
“No, no, no don’t start falling asleep stay awake ok? Um, list what's in the room, don’t fall asleep.” Mark took the other into the dining room, pulling a chair up, and running to grab the first aid kit under the kitchen sink in the adjacent room.
“Uhm… There’s the table… chairs…”
Mark rummaged through the first aid kit, pulling out what he needed. He gingerly dabbed the disinfectant soaked cotton against Cesar’s wound, two gashes on his neck, Cesar winced but continued listing what Mark asked,
“Photo of… Sarah… Photo of you and… me…” He kept listing items in the room while the other patched him up. Mark finished cleaning the wound, putting a cotton pad and medical tape to keep it in place.
“Okay, all done, how are you?”
“Better I-I guess?” Cesar responded, rubbing at the bandage slightly
“Do you think we need to go to the hospital?”
“No, I think… I’ll be alright” he still sounded tired.
“We can call your mom if you want.”
He gave a noncommittal ‘hm’ in response, Cesar was barely listening to Mark speak, his head felt like it was underwater. The only thing he was aware of was Mark pressing a glass of orange juice into their hands. The smell was sour and overpowering, it made them feel sick, but his throat stung from how dry it felt, so he took a sip anyway.
It tasted rotten.
He coughed and retched, and felt Mark pat their back. His throat still stung. Mark continued to talk to him, but Cesar was preoccupied, he could hear the sound of… a heartbeat? Not their own, it sounded like it was further, the direction it came from seemed to be Mark. His heartbeat was so fast. The sound beat against Cesar's ears, making their head spin.
“I don’t feel very good.” Cesar’s voice was hoarse, he stood up and started to walk to Mark.
“Do you need…” Mark stopped, eyes wide and his heart skipped a beat. What had frightened Mark was the fact the sclera of Cesar’s eyes were a deep angry red.
“C-Cesar?” Mark stammered, stepping backwards, his heart raced. Cesar looked at him confused. He stepped closer, Mark stepped back.
“Why are you-” Cesar gasped, he faltered, nearly losing his footing but caught themself against the table. Their breathing turned shaky,  a snap sound echoed as they coiled into themselves, collapsing to the ground. Long clawed nails pushed through bloody fingertips and dug into the floor. The snapping continued, something was shifting under Cesar’s shirt. All Cesar could focus on was the pain, feeling like something was under his skin, trying to rip its way out of their back. Their teeth clenched, his mouth bled slightly from the sharp fangs that now replaced his incisor teeth. The shirt started to rip, followed by the sounds of cracking and stretching of flesh and bone, new shapes forming on Cesar’s back. They were wings, bat wings. Mark gasped, staring at his friend in horror. The nightmare was real.
Cesar looked at him, frightened red eyes full of tears staring at Mark.
“Mark help me… help…It hurts so much, I just want it to stop.” Cesar spoke, his voice was quiet and raspy, like it was painful for him to speak, “I’m scared, I don’t know what's happening to me.”
Cesar tried to move closer, before letting out a small cry, head in their hands, then they looked back at Mark. Their face changed, they bared their teeth at Mark, who screamed. He sprinted away, Cesar letting out a hiss before chasing him as he ran out of the dining room to the stairs, Cesar couldn’t focus, all he could hear was thump, thump, thump. The sound of blood beating through a heart.
Mark ran up the stairs to his room and shut the door, hearing the sound of Cesar slamming against it, banging their fists on the wood.
“Oh god, oh god please, this can’t be happening.” Mark could feel himself panicking, unsure of what to do. He sat still for a moment, he knew he had a weapon in his dresser, he had a gun, but he couldn't, that was his friend, even if his friend had become a monster, he couldn't hurt him.
No, I can’t do that, that’s still Cesar, there has to be another way. 
Cesar’s fist banged against the door again, Mark could see the hinges splintering away from the doorframe when the other hit against it. Mark needed a plan, his fingers mindlessly twisted the cross on his neck, giving him an idea. Vampires hate crosses right? Would that work? Maybe it could stop Mark from being attacked long enough to get help, and find a way to fix Cesar. He clasped his hands around the cross again, muttering a prayer before facing the door. After another bang Mark ran and grabbed the doorknob, yanking it open and letting the other fall inside. Mark sprinted around them, heading for the stairs and hearing the sound of a screech, he made the mistake of turning his head.
Cesar had lunged forward, grabbing Mark and the two fell down the set of stairs. Mark hit the floor, trying to ignore the pain and run but Cesar grabbed him. He raised his arm over his face, but it didn’t stop Cesar, he bit into Mark's arm. He cried out, but still tried to push against the other. He could feel himself getting dizzier and dizzier, and all he could feel in his arm was burning pain as blood ran down it. Cesar finally let go of Mark's arm, the room was spinning, he barely had the energy to struggle. He weakly held up the necklace, he hoped that the cross would repel the other, but Cesar didn’t budge, nothing was stopping the vampire. The last thing Mark saw was their fangs still covered in blood as they bit down on his neck.
Mark screamed.
Cesar couldn’t focus on anything, only the pain that constantly rushed through him, everything felt like it was on fire. The last thing they could remember clearly was Mark… who looked afraid of him before everything blurred together. Just as suddenly a fog had left his mind and suddenly all of his senses were overwhelmed. The lights were bright, he had the taste of iron in his mouth, and his hands felt sticky. Cesar tried to process what was going on in there when they looked in front of them… at Mark’s body.
Cesar cried out, Mark was covered in blood, he didn't move, he laid there with his eyes shut, a wound on his neck. Cesar hadn’t stopped screaming, scrambling away from the body and falling back onto the carpet. They tried to get back up, but they suddenly felt heavy, like something was weighing them down. He saw something move from the corner of his eye. He turned his head, realizing what was weighing them down, attached to his back were bat wings.
This can’t be real
He pushed himself up, this time able to lift themselves and the extra weight of the wings. Cesar shook, he thought about his attacker, the sharp pain in his neck, they’ve become a monster… they did the same to Mark, but he was…
“No… No no no no no no no.” Cesar repeated. He wanted this to be a bad dream, he wanted to wake up. They tried to think, what the hell was he gonna do? Cesar felt hot tears at the edge of their eyes, and he started to cry.
Mark’s eyes opened, he blinked a few times. The sharp pain in his neck throbbed and he tried to sit up, feeling dizzy as he did, he touched where the pain was, and pulled back a slightly bloody hand. Despite how fuzzy his head felt he remembered clearly what happened, Cesar was a vampire now… and he bit Mark. He turned his head to the only sound in the room, the sound of sobbing, coming from Cesar.
“Ces..” Mark winced at the pain in his throat, “Ces..Cesar.” Cesar jumped at Mark’s voice, his red eyes looked at Mark, startled and confused. Mark tried to stand, stumbling slightly as he tried to do so, his legs felt weak.
"Cesar… Wh-”  Mark flinched at the sudden pain in his jaw, he clenched his teeth, a slight trail of blood running from the corners of his mouth as he felt his teeth shifting, he put both hands to his jaw, as if holding his face would make the pain go away. His eyes shut tightly, his body shuddering. Mark curled inward himself. Cesar hesitantly got closer, he could only hear Mark taking shaky breaths.
"Mark?"
Mark's head snapped up, he hissed at Cesar, baring his now sharp teeth at the other. His eyes were slightly bloodshot, and the once warm brown iris was replaced with dark red. Cesar felt a pit in their stomach, any relief that he didn’t kill Mark was gone, he was turned into another bloodthirsty monster. Mark's face changed, he looked… scared.
“What- What’s happening? I can’t…” Mark felt like he was fading in and out, he couldn’t think clearly. Mark suddenly snarled at the other, baring his teeth again. Cesar didn’t want Mark to do what he did, he tried holding onto the other, who thrashed at the attempt to hold them back. Mark pushed the other, who lost their balance and fell back, Mark sprinted for the door and ran out into the night.
“Fuck!” Cesar cursed, he stood up, trying to regain their balance again, and ran outside after Mark, still stumbling slightly from the weight of the wings, any care that anyone would see them went out the window. He had to find Mark and get him back before- 
The sound of screaming broke through, Cesar went in the direction of the sound, fearing the worst.
...
Like Cesar, Mark’s mind was completely fogged over, he couldn’t focus on where he was going, just on the pain, the burning in his throat. Every sense was dulled, his body on autopilot, something else was making him run, searching for…a heartbeat. He could hear the sound of a beating heart, and followed it. He knew he moved quickly, lunging at something. There was screaming, he knew that, he could hear it. There was the taste of iron in his mouth, and relief, relief from the pain.
Mark felt himself being pulled away, the fog was disappearing, he could actually understand his surroundings. Cesar was the one pulling him. A man with a bloody wound on his neck, a woman with him was screaming, shouting for someone to call the police. Cesar practically lifted the other up and sprinted, when they ran up to the house they practically threw themselves and Mark inside. Slamming the door and locking it. Cesar looked out the window quickly, before shutting the curtains
“No one followed us… okay okay, it's okay.”
It had gone so fast, Mark looked at his hands, smudged with blood. Blood he drank from someone he attacked. Mark felt sick.
“Did I kill someone, oh god I think I killed someone.” he spoke frantically, his hands shaking. He repeated the words “Oh god, oh god.” while Cesar just paced, hands to their face. Neither spoke for a while, both choosing to sit on the living room floor, Cesar kept his eyes on the door, and Mark felt himself becoming more and more exhausted.
Mark opened his eyes, realizing he had fallen asleep. He could see Cesar also fell asleep, lying on their stomach, seeing the wings on their back told him that it was real, not a dream.  Mark got up and moved to the curtains, hesitating for a moment before pushing them back, morning, the daylight was now on Mark’s extremely pale skin. Nothing burned, he let out a small sigh of relief. He wondered what to do now, if he should call someone, he even considered venturing outside. He peered through the curtains, using a hand to shade his eyes against the harsh light.
Police cars drove past, one parked nearby, not a good idea to go back out then. He pulled the curtain back. He had to change, the shirt was still stained in blood, and the dried blood still on his skin was starting to itch. Mark headed to the upstairs bathroom, passing by the blood stain in the carpet near the stairs. He was gonna have to deep clean that too, but that was a task for later in the day.
The sink ran with warm water, Mark wiped at his neck with a small towel, the dried blood washing away and showing two scars, he expected them to look like dots, but they looked like scrapes. He got a good look at his face in the mirror, he was paler, red eyes looked back at him. Mark gingerly opened his mouth to see fangs, he reached a hand to them, and realized his nails were sharp with a dark tinge. He looked away from the mirror, swapping the stained shirt for a clean one. His cross had been slightly stained in blood, he rinsed it under the sink. He almost expected it to burn him, but it didn’t, like it didn’t repel Cesar. It didn’t work. His prayer didn’t work.
Mark chewed at his lip. He thought if he prayed, if he believed, then God would be able to protect him. If God was real this cross would burn his skin, make him burst into flames. Instead he put it back on, like he was still a human. He wasn't human, despite the fact he looked human, he knew he wasn't. Thoughts kept running through his mind. Why would God allow monsters to exist, let alone attack people. It all made him feel sick.
“God dammit why.” he whispered to himself.
...
After a few moments Mark headed back to see Cesar now awake, reaching their hand towards the curtain, only to hiss and recoil, a small pink burn on their hand.
“Hey.” Mark said, he held out the shirt for the other to wear, who took it and muttered “Thanks”
“It's old so, I made holes for the…” 
“Yeah.” Cesar responded curtly before shuffling up the stairs to change.
It took a bit of work, but Cesar managed to fit the wings through the holes. It still felt strange, as if someone was holding onto his back.
Something I’ll have to get used to I guess. He thought, turning to the bathroom mirror.
One thing that surprised Cesar was still being able to see their reflection. They stared at their new face, his skin turned an ashy grey color and their ears stretched to the shape of a bats. He opened his mouth, looking at the long fangs, and it seemed all his teeth had become sharper. Of course, their eyes were bright red now, overtaking the formerly white sclera. It felt… strange, he knew it was his face in the mirror, but it didn’t feel like that was him, it was someone else, and yet… this was him. Cesar swallowed the lump in his throat, he couldn’t go out looking like this, he was a monster. He couldn’t go home, what would his mother think if she saw him like this? 
Oh god… his mom… she’d be home now, she’d come home to him missing, she was going to freak out. Cesar’s stomach twisted in knots thinking about it, but they couldn’t… they couldn’t go back, if she saw him as a monster… the idea of his own mother fearing him, hating him. Maybe it would be better if he didn’t come back, maybe if she just thought he was missing it would be less painful. He slowly walked back down the stairs to Mark, who looked lost in thought, chewing on his bottom lip which bled slightly. He stopped when he saw Cesar.
“There’s a lot of police patrolling, you should stay here, then we can… figure something out.” Mark said.
“Okay… what about your mom?”
“She's out of town, my sister’s with her, we've got the house for a while, I’ll call her, tell her I’m okay.” he said, receiving a ‘hm’ from Cesar.
“After… um… maybe we can call your mom-”
“No! No, I don't think we should call her.” Cesar interrupted. Mark looked at him surprised, but Cesar just stared at the floor, eyes not meeting the others. He didn’t push them on the subject. They both stayed still in the silence, it was hitting both how awful the situation was, and neither knew what to say to the other.
What the hell were they going to do now?

The Fool was always Lloyd; it could be no one else *-*)/
The Magician would have been Jay if Jesse didn’t exist snksnk
I was trying desperately to make The High Priestess a girl, but none of the ‘main’ girls fit the themes—but then I realized how much Zane fit, and screw gender. I couldn’t really come up with a comp that suited him, but—oh hey! I gave him a mom I can use! :’3
Empress, Emperor, and Hierophant were always locked in, though I think I played around with Wu as The Hermit for a time
Of course I initially wanted to do a pairing for The Lovers, but again, none of the ~main~ ships really fits, so I shifted to a more character-focused approach. There was a point in time where it would’ve been Skylor and Pixal on the card, but I felt they both deserved their own spotlight, so Skylor got shuffled to The Star, and I had to get a little creative with Pixal (and it turned out so well, it’s one of my favorites!)
Took forever to decide between Chariot/Strength for Cole/Kai, since they’re both veeeery close to one another in meaning. But upon realizing Chariot is more about outer strength and Strength is more about inner strength, I knew what had to be done. Plus, The Strength card (usually) has a lion on it, that was just begging for Kai :V
Making Dareth The Hermit was a teeny bit of a stretch, but given how his role will be in Legacyverse, I do feel it suits him (also his card went super under appreciated, I put a lot of detail into those shelves!!!! But I digress.)
Wheel of Fortune kind of happened as a process of elimination. I did try to put Jesse there, but he is more about probability than luck itself, and I couldn’t NOT make him The Magician snksnk. However once I started playing around with Jay there everything start to click soooo beautifully
Justice was always Miranda, and the Hanged Man was always Ronin (though I could make a case for Wu or even Zane for the latter, though)
Originally, Olivia was gonna be The Death and Harleigh was gonna be The Moon—switched them at, quite literally, the last second, and ooooh what a good choice that was
Nya and Harumi were some of the first cards I did, and in Harumi’s case especially I couldn’t see them anywhere else xD
The Tower was the last card I nailed down, because I just absolutely blanked on a character for it and almost didn’t put in a character at all—and then I was like OH WAIT MYSTAKE (and then it became another of my favorites!)
Star, Moon, and Sun were the hardest to nail down despite having the most ideas for them. Though I dunno who The Star was gonna be before Skylor (I may have considered Pixal here too) and I already mentioned my dilemma of the Moon and Sun
The Judgement was originally gonna be The Overlord. But I didn’t wanna draw him lol…but, The Golden Master certainly made for a suitable replacement :3 (and I tried to invoke the vibes of The Overlord with the background still!!)
And, of course, The World was always going to be The FSM to bring everything full circle, like an Ouroboros~

What got you to start drawing the boys do you take requests? Cause I like the cafe au
IT MIGHT SEEM CRAZY ON WHAT IM BOUT TO S-
When I said I've been a SMG4 fan for 4 years, I left the channel for i dunno how many weeks or months has it been. Then one day I saw WOTFI 2023 recommended in my youtube page and was.
"Wotfi 2023? But I thought- wait- who are these characters again?"
Turns out I forgot that Ive only seen SMG4 and SMG3's (cocomelon ass) designs during wotfi 2022 where it was both of their first redesigns from the movie. I stopped watching for a bit cuz I got busy.
Then I came back to see they were both redesigned in a better version now. Now that I thought about "where was their second redesign then?"
So I knew that I had to binge watch every single episodes from smg4's channel right after wotfi 2022
I then saw how much Three has changed ever since after the 2022th christmas episode.
If I were to be honest, watching igbp for the first time in my life even Mar10 day. I was about 85% sure that Smg3 worries too much for Smg4's sake.
They both are cosmically linked and three can feel what the other of his partner is feeling soooooo?
*circles both of my hands*
Three's gay. He looked fruity he felt fruity. During the movie and during right after he helped four's ass to get his channel back from running again.
It suddenly gave me some time for my brain to tell me "DUDE WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS COULD BE A HINT- THIS IS MAYBE AN ENEMIES TO LOVERS!" I responded to my brain like- HELL YEAH I'M NOTING THAT DOWN.
Cuz I cant just sit here and just "watch the movie without sayin nothin" I HAD to do something AND make analysis about it because thats what I do when I notice simple details!
So when smg3 confessed those feelings of his to Smg4 and even running to save his life back again and even after saying "we're friends!" This gave me a bit of a shock. Three. Did you know what you did? Did you realize how much it meant for smg4? Did you FORGET- that you said you and him werent friends during the 2020th wotfi?
So then after all of this time... that means smg3 has been the one and always a tsundere to smg4
Even after the castle disappeared, him and three's chemistry started going into an actual progress from both of their chemistry from the relationship.
Thats a dedication for me right there. I do it not only for fun, I do it for my wants, have, and needs.
I know its funny for a minor like me to do all of this dedicaded in just a simple job, I have all kinds of specialities to include my works and skills and use them for this fandom again from how I did to the past ones. (But those past fandoms are dead-)
Ahem- what was I talking about again? Oh right- 3 and 4... sorry got a little bit too chatty-
So I noticed even more about Smg3's notebook and was like- "gahd damn- three had his own personal notebook this whole time?! Whats even inside of it? I'm curious..." so yeah-
Now jumping to where I watched 2023 of wotfi again (twice now) to see its context about it- I was flabberGHASTED in after the "drawing" and also the mysterious tv guy whose also appearing on as the final antagonist in the modern era and a new one from the new era.
"Holysht. This is about to go bonkers for the fans making up stuff about those 'what-ifs' that smg4 made from the previous video back then. (The part where waluigi won or desti being alive)
I'm curious enough to see what happens and even if its about tv adware. Yes too.
(THERE. In November I started to become quite more invested from the fandom and decided to drop in my luggage and load out all of my junks called Info-Analysis?)
So- hello! (Again-) :D it was a pleasure meeting every and one of you all- I stopped in just to come back from the fandom that I never made commentary about but now I can ^^
I started with doodling and knowing basic anatomy and shapes of SMG3 and SMG4's design (the new one) so that I could start on doodling about them. But what I didnt expect for myself is that I had created a long time chapter of "Indigo Secret" that wasn't supposed to be there on purpose.
It was just supposed to be a "silly" comic about it from where ■■■■■■■■ to ■■■■■■■ about the problem and then the part in this that came into ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ from ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
*BEEP*
I took myself a big motive after my blog gained 10+ followers and more notes. I thought working here 24/7 would make me feel something more for destiny and the trip!
So- yeah. Work. :) even when I'm at school I also complete my assignments and all of the shts and after that I can continue on with continuing the pages and with some cute doodles with the boys from a scenario playing through my head.
Now you have me making all of this and that ^^
Thats whay I'm popular for :)

2nd answer...
Thank you for liking the cafe au! It means so much to the both for me and shay from the collab to move on!
I did say from my boundaries I take free art request 1 at a time only- and I could allow a second art request if I do have the time ^^
Yes I do take art request :)
(Except for-
oc-shipping with SMG3/SMG4 cuz they're both together in the au
NSFW
Some stuff that I can't approve on-)
Ask away :)
Thanks for asking me stuffs anon I really enjoy talking ^^

-
“Roos.”
“Hm?”
“I can’t sleep.” 
He blinks his eyes open, turning his head towards Beatrice and blinking at her for a few seconds. She was sitting on the bed, back against the headboard and her eyes looking straight ahead, “What’s happening? You sick?’
“I’m just anxious.” she whispers, wringing her hands together, “I don’t know why, I really don’t know why, but I can’t–” she gestures to her head, “Keep quiet in here.” he turns the lamp on his side and rubs his face before sitting up next to her, “I’m…sorry for waking you.”
“Hm,” he shakes his head while rubbing the sleep away, “Don’t be sorry, I’m your husband.I worry about you.”
“It’s just…you have work in the morning-” she stops speaking when his arms wrap around her and he brings her to his chest,kissing the back of her head and then pressing his cheek on her hair. Beatrice, for some reason, felt like crying - pregnancy hormones, maybe?-  when she nestled her cheek to his bare chest, his cologne still clung to his skin like a second layer and she felt such comfort when it hit her nose. “...I’m rambling.”
“A little.” he replies, ‘But that’s why you are cute.”
“Maybe I should…go to the clinic tomorrow. To check.” she whispers as she snuggles close to him, “I just…I just feel so anxious, what if this nausea is too strong? More than normal?”
He huffs into her hair, kissing her scalp, “Baby, you are carrying two babies,it won’t be the same as Nikki’s.” she makes a little sound and sighs, her warm breath hitting his naked skin as she stares towards the wall. He makes himself more comfortable and then basically picks her up easily to set her on his lap.
“What time is it?” she asks softly, face pressed to his chest.
“Doesn’t matter.”
“If it’s late you can go back to sleep.”
He laughs quietly, exhaling air through his nostrils because he couldn’t believe that she still was acting as if this was a problem of some sort, she wasn’t a burden to him but he also knew she wouldn’t think about it that way with her anxiety so high, “I’m fine.” he reassures her, cupping the back of her head to angle her forehead up, his lips touching the skin there only to lean back and smile down at her, “What’s making you anxious?”
‘I dunno.”
“Hmmm…” he rubs his thumb below her eyes, she warns him of the eye boogers but Rooster doesn’t care one bit, she doesn’t even have anything on them which shows, really, that she didn’t sleep at all since they got home from the bar, “You’ve been up for a while,huh?”
“...I mean…m-maybe.”
“Maybe?”
She sighs, burying her face on his chest because he just knew too much about her, ‘I don’t know, throwing up back at the bar fucked me up a lot, I really thought that Penny was going to find out about it,Roos. Especially when you followed me,I–” she frowns, “I felt like I lost control a little bit.”
Bradley hums with his chin propped on top of her head as she blurts everything out, her hands clenching his bicep and her mouth touching the curve of his elbow when he brings her closer, ‘I know.” he says after a while, another kiss to her scalp, “I know,gorgeous. You did your best. And you managed to work till the end, no need to leave early either.”
“Hrm.”
“Baby.”
“I’m sorry Rooster, it’s just,” she covers her eyes with both hands, her fingers scratching her scalp with an annoyed grunt leaving her throat, “I just feel like I’m too anxious for no reason, I don’t know why, maybe I’m just hormonal again and that’s…that’s what happened. And I just want everything to go okay - shouldn’t have read those testimonials online, about how the multiple pregnancies made people sick or were risky or-”
Rooster grabs her hands, interlacing with his own and bringing them close to his lips so he could the back of each. He smiles down at her once her eyes turn guiltily up to his, her lashes long and touching her cheeks the second she looks away from him, “We talked about how the internet can make you feel like you are dying when you have a papercut.”
“Yeah…”
“Baby, you are doing fine.” he begins, “You are and, you know, there’s nothing much that can be done beyond what you are doing now. You are helping our babies grow, and they’ll be strong and beautiful, just like you and Nikki are.”
The mention of Nicole makes her smile again, genuinely this time. “...I should check on her.” she whispers, “Since I can’t sleep.”
She untangles from his grasp slowly before he could stop her, but he does slide his bottom towards the edge of the bed as Beatrice put on her slippers, “I can go with you.” she turns to face him with her hands wringing together, “If you want to.”
“I…do y-”
“It won’t bring me any trouble during the morning.” he smirks, “I promise you that.” he holds onto her hips, bringing her closer to him yet again so he could press a kiss to her stomach - the little bump was more obvious now- and then propped his chin on top, “I don’t want you there, alone with your thoughts.I know how bad they can be,babe.”
Beatrice smiles thankfully, combing his hair with her fingers - her nails gently scraping his scalp and making him groan happily with his eyes fluttering closed- before she cups his cheeks, tilting his head upwards, “You are too sweet,Lieutenant, did anyone tell you that?”
He smiles, pupils enlarging, “My hot wife did.”
“Hot wife,huh?”
“She’s really hot and she’s pretty, and she’s funny and she’s literally my dream come true.”
Beatrice’s eyes glaze over with tears, her head turning to the side so she could laugh in disbelief and playfully shove his shoulder with her hand, laughing while sniffling as she steps back with him following her every move, “If it helps you,you are her dream come true,too.” she says, kissing his lips sweetly before grabbing his hand so they walk out of their bedroom towards Nicole’s nursery.
The dogs wake up the second the door creaks open, Eleanor standing up before her brother to sniff at the known intruders with her tail wagging, “Hi Ellie.” Beatrice whispered, petting the white dog with her head craned towards the crib to see Nicole. Their daughter was sleeping, thank God, but it was the way she was sleeping that made Beatrice tilt her head in confusion “Roos?”
“What?” he’s gently petting the siblings with a sweet smile, looking up at Beatrice as she walks closer to the crib.
“Look.”
He gives them one final pat before standing next to his wife, his mouth parting because Nicole was sleeping with her little legs propped on the gate and her arms spread to the sides, tiny mouth open as she breathed, “Oh my god…it looks like she’s doing yoga or something.”
“It does.” Beatrice does take a closer to look to see if she’s not hurting herself, only for Nicole to move around again and lie with her entire body on the mattress, making a little sleepy sound in her throat that resembled Rooster way too much. “...she’s sleeping at least.”
“That she is.” he stands behind her to hug her waist and kiss her temple, gently swaying her in his grasp, “You are still nervous though.”
“A little.”
“Do we have a reason?”
“Hah,” she laughs humorlessly, “We do not…unfortunately.”
“It’s okay though.”
“It’s…not. Not really,Roos.” but she leans on his chest with her smile widening when he kisses under her jaw, “...I just am feeling a lot and I don’t even know what I’m feeling nor how to explain it.”
“That’s anxiety for you.” she laughs because he’s right and she laughs because he has that amazing power of controlling her heart while melting it at the same time,”We can stay up and talk if you want, about anything you think about so we can get rid of those dumb voices in your noggin.”
Beatrice looks back at him with a smile that reaches her eyes, her hand coming up to touch his cheek and rub below his cheekbone, “Alright.” she says, “But out of the nursery, she needs to sleep and I’d hate it if she woke up right now.” she looks back at Nicole one final time before holding her husband’s hand, leading them out of the bedroom - after saying bye to the dogs - and back on the hallway. She sighs, rubbing her eyes with her fingers and then letting go of his hand only to rub her entire face.
Rooster gives her the space she needs by standing a few inches away, leaning against the wall to watch her pace in a small circle in front of him. He tried to think what could’ve triggered her anxiety so much and so intensely that night, he thinks it was more than the fact she was ‘hiding’ something from their friends and her boss…and her family…and Mav- well in reality there was a lot inside of her mind right now and he knew she was holding it in for their own sake.
So he waited for a few seconds, then he said, “Do you think we should just tell them?”
“Huh?”
He shrugs, “Tell everyone else about the twins, your parents included?”
“I’d…I mean I still want to go to the clinic,Roos.”
“We’ll go later this week, because I know it’s eating you alive,I can see it,Bea…and this stress isn’t good for you nor the babies.”
He was right, of course he was. Beatrice sighed with her shoulders dropping as she walks back to lean against the wall just like he was, “...I think so, I…I want to, I mean…I don’t like holding it in so much, but this stress sucks so much.”
“And I know you.”
“You do,” she smiles, “Too well. I think that…um moment at the bar kinda made me a bit upset. “
“I know,honey.”
Beatrice chews her lower lip, then furrows her brows, “I’ll be okay. I’ll be okay…I’ll be fine. It’s just my brain going nuts right now.” he hums in agreement, then brings her closer to his side, so she can place her temple on his shoulder, “...can I tell you something?”
“Always.”
“I am a bit scared of my parents’ reactions.” he was about to question why but then he remembered how they acted when Nicole was born, nodding to the side as she says that, “Because…you know, they can be…intense.”
Rooster nods again, kissing the top of her head, “I know.”
“At least Mav isn’t like that.”
“He might faint though.” he says, “Maybe…just pass out in front of me and I’ll have to throw water on his face so he wakes up.” Beatrice playfully swats his chest and laughs, with him joining a few seconds after she started. “Or slap him, that works.”
“You’d never slap him.” she says, ‘...would you?”
“Hmmm,maybe a thwack to the head, fast and kinda painless.”
“Oh God you are so awful.”
“Wasn’t I sweet a few minutes ago?”
Beatrice rolled her eyes as she turned to face him, cupping his cheeks to bring their lips together, “You are awfully sweet.” she giggles, “And i’m the luckiest girl in the whole wide world for having such a sweet,kind and understanding husband. Thank you,Roos.” another kiss, this one was a bit longer than the last because he wrapped his arms around her waist again, trapping her against his chest.
Their foreheads touched and they stood there, in the barely lit hallway with the sound of their house and the street outside being their personal soundtrack. Beatrice sighed, “I don’t think I’ll fall back asleep.”
“We can watch some tv,” she parts her lips, ‘Yes, we. I’m staying up with you,I can handle it.”
“But-” he arches his brow, almost challenging her to continue, “...oh fine. I just don’t want you to get distracted tomorrow.”
“I’d just be distracted,” he purrs, sliding his hands to her ass, cupping the soft cheeks with gusto, “If you were there, wearing any of your clothes and looking absolutely delicious, enough for me to take a bite and probably wonder how many rules I was breaking just by breathing the same air as you were.”
Her cheeks turned a violent shade of red, her lower lip rolling into her mouth and her eyes turning glassy because how dare he be like that? He kisses her one final time, then backs away so they could walk downstairs to their living room, “Peaky Blinders?” she suggests, smiling when her husband went ‘oooh’
“Fuck, what episode were we on?”
“I don’t remember, but I think since Nikki is asleep we can find out.”
“Hell yeah.” he even walks faster, the sound waking Jolene up and making the pittie look from her comfortable spot on the couch towards the two in surprise. She wasn’t used on them waking up so late anymore.
With Rooster preparing something for them to drink - aka, water because Bea didn’t want anything heavier- she sat down on the couch with her hands on top of her slowly growing stomach. She looks down at the bump, was it a bit bigger than Nicole’s? Maybe it was too hard to tell yet…she just framed it with her hands, thumbs pointed to her belly button and fingers cupping the rounder part of her stomach.
She smiles however, in thanks that Rooster could see this happening…she just wanted him to have a good time before he left. She knew it’d happen, and she was already mentally preparing for it, even if it hurt, even if it was bad, she is with him for four years now, she needed to get used to it…and not worry too much.
He was good at what he did, he was smart and he was careful.
And he’d always come back home for them. She knew that. “I brought your water.” his hand appear on her vision, the large glass filled to the brim made her smile as she adjusted her position on the couch - Jolene’s large head already landing on her lap, “And,” he shakes his phone for emphasis, “I have an eye on Nikki.”
“Thank you Roos.” she whispers, waiting until he sat back down, ‘Are you sure you want to stay up with me? I won’t mind if you go to bed.”
“I’m sure.” he sips his own glass of water - he still refused to drink anything she couldn’t and her heart swelled with adoration - “I managed to do great with only three hours of sleep, gorgeous. This is child’s play.”
“Really?”
“Back in college when my mom started her hospital visits.” he mutters, clearing his throat when he turned the tv on - immediately setting on the lowest volume just for safety - eyes latched on the screen, “She’d have to stay the nights there and I’d always wake up from time to time to check on her.”
“You did a good job.” she smiles, kissing his cheek, “You are just caring…about everyone in your life.”
“Everyone I care about.” he smiles back at her, “Like you, Mav, some of my friends.”
“That’s not true. You love them all.” “I like them on some days of the week.” he laughs, finding the last episode they watched together, “And some days I don’t. Now, focus on the tv missy. We need to ease that anxiety of yours.”

Shadow spoilers under the cut
Review time!
Holy fuck it was SO GOOD.
THINGS I ENJOYED
THE FROG SCENE. My new favourite warriors moment. I need to draw Nightheart with a frog suckered onto his face. Incredible. Nightheart is such a silly goofy guy and I'm so glad he gets to do stupid things each book.
SPLASHTAIL!!!!!! This is a BIG one for me, and ohhhh he was so evil it was so GOOD. We really got to see his manipulative side come out here and I adored it
Splashtail rejecting Frostpaw because it would be weird to date an apprentice. It's a small thing, but it's nice to have a little bit of canon saying hey. Stop.
Frostpaw slowly realising something is Wrong in RiverClan, but still turning to Splashtail because he built up trust between them. It's so clever and dark
Harelight! I like the guy and I'm glad he gets a little bit of spotlight. It's also nice to see him telling Frostpaw that he can help her learn to disguise her pale coat, I feel like I haven't seen that mentioned in a while.
Cloverfoot mentioning how Mistystar decorated her den with shells and feathers!!
Frostpaw getting to girlboss a bit. It was nice! She knows what's right for her and you CANNOT change her mind!
HER ENDING????? OH MY GOD I feel stupid but I did NOT see that coming I was so shocked it was like Curlfeather all over again LMAO. Why did they wait until she was right outside WindClan though. She'll be found and live. I highly doubt they'd kill off their best protagonist on book 3.
The trials! I know they were maybe a bit boring but I actually liked seeing them, AND seeing Berryheart get more and more pissed off throughout the book LMAO. Hilarious how they gave Nightheart a trial he basically already did last book (stealing from the twolegs)
Tigerstar hates socks
Berryheart. She's terrible. It's fun.
Sunbeam is still a pushover. Sure she stands up for herself a bit more now, but she usually chooses to back down in the face of conflict. I'm glad she's kept her personality after getting with Nightheart, which leads me to...
Sunbeam and Nightheart's relationship. I actually thought they were written okay for once. Sunbeam is not so sure about him at first (and is reasonably upset he publicly declared his love for her and decided to move in with her without consulting her first) but we actually get to see her come to appreciate him more. It's not the strongest romance obviously, but for warrior cats, the way it was handled in this book (not the other two) was actually not that bad, and I didn't mind that they stayed together in the end. I liked seeing them spend time together and I liked the way they described each other's personality traits. Sunbeam thinking Nightheart's confidence was attractive, and Nightheart thinking about how he'll miss her cleverness and courage more than anything else. I dunno, I felt pleasantly surprised.
Nightheart realising he was being unreasonable and coming to understand his family's reasons for acting the way they did, and especially the way he reconciled with Sparkpelt! They both got a chance to apologise and forgive each other (and themselves) and it was really nice to see.
Sunbeam saying Blazefire 'broke up' with her?? Warriors never uses this casual language for relationships, especially when they weren't even officially mates to begin with, it was kinda jarring to see but I liked it
THINGS I DID NOT ENJOY
Nightheart's sudden switch back to ThunderClan feels sudden and unearned. He was literally fighting with Sparkpelt and Finchlight earlier in the book and then at some point he realised he was wrong for that off screen. Also I was kind of unreasonably irritated that he failed his last task on purpose lmao
Frostpaw not telling anyone anything. Frostpaw please talk to people.
WHY DID EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT TREE??????? WHY ISN'T TREE MEDIATING??????????????
MIXED FEELINGS
Squirrelstar. While I'm happy Bramblestar is stepping down, I'm not jazzed about Squirrelstar. I like Squirrelflight, but she's been around a long time now and I want someone newer. To be honest, I'm basically waiting for the older characters to die out at this point, and if Squirrelflight's going to stick around for the next several arcs, she's going to become the next Mistystar.
Sunbeam moving to ThunderClan. While I predicted this would happen, and it's kind of fun for now, it means we now have two perspectives in ThunderClan AGAIN. I am begging warrior cats to let go of ThunderClan. Having two POV characters in the same overused clan is not as fun as they think it is. Also, Sunbeam saying 'Berryheart was right about everything' then immediately changing her mind was kinda disappointing. Let Sunbeam have a villain arc.
