Their Reaction to You Losing an Eye
Summary — Preferences for Atreus, Kratos, and Thor from God of War!
Requested by @nickeverdeen — Hey there! Can I please ask for hcs with either God Of War or Horizon Zero Dawn characters with a reader who lost their eye and is insecure about it? If for God Of War then pls hcs with: Kratos, Atreus (older or young is up to you) If Horizon Zero Dawn then pls hcs with: Aloy, Talanah (you don’t have to do Talanah if you don’t wanna) Also pls let me know if you’re uncomfortable with the request Take time and care about yourself ❤️
Warnings & Other Tags
➳ Depictions, discussions, and mentions of severe injuries (losing an eye, fainting as a result of pain); canon-typical violence; envisioned Ragnarök!Atreus for this work; I tossed Thor into this request because he’s my husband.
Notes
➳ Word Count is 433.
➳ Reader is gender neutral (they/them).
➳ I recently met T.C. Carson, who was the original voice for Kratos in the God of War series, after which I ran to write this request (even though it’s intended for Christopher Judge’s version)!
FAQ | Masterlist | Fandoms | Requests | Coming Soon | Schedule
atreus
in all honesty, he wouldn’t quite know how to act. his emotions would be all over the place, tears streaming down his face as his father and freya tried to help you. the coverings on your face are soaked in your own blood.
“don’t leave,” muttered atreus. he finds himself kneeling by your side as he pleads with you, one of your weak hands held tightly in both of his, “please don’t go.”
but his newly discovered godly abilities are still out of sorts. his sadness quickly shifts to anger at those who caused you harm. his wrath is unlike anything the world has ever seen. he won’t stop until you, his dearest companion, is properly avenged, so don’t be surprised if he returns with your attacker’s head.
kratos
this man does not hesitate. in mere seconds, kratos is lifting you into his arms and calling out for someone, anyone, who can help. he avoids looking at the blood that decorates the place where your eye should be.
“i lost faye,” he mutters. “i won’t let you go as well. stay awake!”
everything is a blur. whatever vision you have left is slowly turning to gray as a sudden wave of tiredness overtakes your body. the pain of it all is settling deep into your bones.
as kratos’s muffled voice calls out for you in a panicked tone, you allow unconsciousness to take over, and the world finally fades into darkness.
thor
he breathes heavily, staring down at heimdall with such rage that the golden-eyed god realized he was experiencing fear for possibly the first time in his life. a gentle touch on his arm, however, tears thor’s focus away from his father’s devotee.
his eyes drop to the deep scar on your face — a new habit he’d developed recently — before they drifted to meet your lone eye. heimdall scurries away at the same time thor’s fingertips graze your cheek.
“why do you keep me from tearing him apart?” whispered thor. “he needs to be punished for what he’s done to you.”
a sharp inhale came from him when your touch caressed his strong chest, exactly where his heart lay beneath his skin. he was quick to let his rough palm overlap your gentle hand.
“heimdall is a fool,” you replied in the same quiet tone he had been using. “why waste your days threatening him when you could be with me instead? his punishment will come when the time is right.”
he was only convinced when you pressed a kiss to the back of his hand. perhaps, for now, he could set revenge aside.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Fire Emblem: Three Houses!
The Fire Emblem game that finally convinced me to get into FE 😂
I was a big Suikoden V fan when Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn came out for the Wii and I was about to get it, but people on forums were like "If you're a Suikoden fan only, you won't enjoy FE because of PERMADEATH and it's REALLY HARD" so I swore them off for over a decade (the irony that I got really into Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn down the road though and I cosplay Ena XD).
Fast forward to 2019 when Three Houses was coming out and I got to work with Faye Mata at a convention I was graphic designer for. Her character Petra was so intriguing to me so I ended up binge watching all three routes of the game. I had bought a Timeskip Petra outfit on AliExpress, but due to COVID, it was questionable when I was going to receive it. I got a refund and then sent my friend MagicalAni the funds to help me with the sewing and beading. I did the wig dying and styling, armor work, sword modding, and all the other accessories besides the beading. I also created her tattoos in Illustrator and printed them out on tattoo paper.
I ended up getting her school uniform on Miccostumes as well. For that version of her hair, I just braid the wig and call it a day. No separate wig necessary (except the dye does run a bit on the blouse if it's too hot; but that's easily editable if it gets too bad).
I've been so lucky to be a part of a few FE3H photoshoots over the years. I am still trying to find a Dorothea to take photos with though!

Hey babe ☺️
Can we get more of the moon boys x reader pranks they're sooo cute or if you want to how would it be like if the moon boys did the pranks like calling the reader their name or not saying ILY back?
Hello, love ^^
Ahhhhh I love this one!
a/n:
・'Make ugly face on count of three' you guys remember that prank trend? I'm gonna go with that :P
・Oscar Issac is sculpted by God™ and our boys are the cutest, gorgeous and handsome, this is just for the sake of this fic, don't throw tomatoes at me guys lol
・Also I'm thinking of doing the boys pranking the reader as a separate fic later :)
・my writing style is slightly different than my usual one. Hint: it's little unhinged ;)
genre: did you order a plate of fluff? Cause it's here ;)
tagging my darlings: @friendlyneighbourhood-parker @devilish-mirage @syrma-sensei @fayes-fics @twwcs
----------
Marc:
The moment your lips uttered 'for tiktok', Marc refused, but you pleaded him to do this for once.
Reluctantly he agreed.
"One, two.."
He stared into camera like he is going to kill.
"Babe, stop. I didn't say three!"
"What?"
"It's one, two, three, ugly face" you move your hand in 'cutting the air' motion to emphasize your point.
"Okay" there is the grumpy eagle face again.
"One, two..Stop!"
It dawns on him.
"Oh really?" he stands up, eyes full of disbelief. He glances back at Khonshu like, 'Are you seeing this shit, Khonshu?'
But the God looks amused. Marc swears he looks like... grinning? That is if he had a mouth, yes, definitely grinning.
Khonshu didn't like you at first, not gonna lie. Eventually, there is no way he would admit it but he...tolerates you, yeah tolerate.
You pranked him again? How dare you, Y/n?
He walks out of the bedroom.
You fall off from the bed, laughing hard. "Marc! Marc! Baby, come back, it's was a prank, I'm sorry!" you immediately get off the floor and quickly follow him. "Baby! You are the prettiest man alive!"
He knew you were just messing around, that doesn't mean he can't pretend to be hurt.
You catch up to him, grabbing him by his arm. "I'm sorry, it was a prank"
He gives a teasing smirk. "Say it again"
You pretend like you don't know what he is talking about.
"If you want my forgiveness for your sin-"
You roll your eyes playfully.
"Say it"
"You are the most handsome man in the world"
"And?" he drags it out with a goofy grin.
"You are so sexy" now it's your turn to grin like a dork, "second cutest man"
"Why?"
"Well, 'grumpy eagle' is not a very cute look"
There it is again, you refused to explain it to him the other day.
Now he will not let it go. He traps you between his arms, pressed against the wall.
You laugh freely and finally explain it to him about the muppet, only after he tickled your ribcage mercilessly.
And he did not forget your prank. Girl, you better sleep with one eye open.
Steven:
He was bit reluctant at first, but when he saw how excited you are for this, how could he say no?
"Okay, babe. I want you to make the ugliest face you can-"
"Ugliest face?"
"Yup. On the count of three, okay?" you pointed at your phone, your finger hovering above 'record button'
He nodded.
"One, two...Babe!" you turn to face him, "I said on the count of three!"
"Love, I didn't- I didn't do anything" he looks so confused.
"Let's try this again, yeah? On the count of three" you stress the 'three'.
"Alright, alright"
"One, t-" you pause, "Babe, I said make ugly face at the count of three, not before that" you sigh in obviously exaggerated way.
"But, I didn't do anything" he gets this look on his cute face. If '🥺' was a person, it's Steven right now.
Y/n, say sorry right now!
"Let's do it again. One, tw-" you stop, looking at his face. "Stop, babe"
"Oh" his eyebrows furrows in confusion, before he bursts out laughing. "You got me, you goof ball"
Of course, you apologise anyway. But he chuckles and assures you it's fine.
Jake:
"Is this for a picture?"
"That's the game, you have to make your ugliest face on the count of three"
He fixed his gaze at your phone camera.
"One, two...papi, on three, on three!"
"Yes, I heard you, Y/n/n" he doesn't get it. He didn't make any face yet, what do you mean?
The way he said your name laced with his accent would make your knees buckle in any other time, you pull your self together for this prank.
"Let's try this one more time. One, two..Jake!"
"¡Dios mío!" he rolls his eyes in annoyance. "I did not make a face, princesa"
You put one arm around his shoulder, trying to calm him down a bit. "Okay, one more time, ready? One..." you drag the 'one' a second longer, pause to look at his face.
"You didn't say three, querida. Why did you stop?" he flails his hands, sighing.
He is so into this and so serious.
"Because I said 'three', not before" you suck your lower lip to stop yourself from bursting into laughter.
"You are playing with me" he doesn't even question. "Are you calling me 'ugly'?" It's a confirmation now.
"No" you say it with extra couple 'o's, in your most sweetest, innocent tone.
He glares at you like, 'are you serious?'
"I'm not saying that" you stiffle a giggle, reach your hands out to cup his face.
But he doesn't let you, covering his face with his hat.
"Papi," you could not control your laugh anymore. "I'm sorry, it's a prank" you take the hate off his face and put your legs over his lap, sitting and straddling him.
"No, no, no" he keeps turning his face whenever you try to kiss him, feigning hurt.
"Baby" but you don't give up, your cradle his face between your palms and press your lips all over his face, purposely giving him the sloppiest, loud, 'Mwah' kisses.
One day, he is going to get you back. All I can say is watch out, Y/n.
-------
Dios mío - My God

This Death That I Chose: Chapter 5
1632 words
CW: emotional whump, conditioning
First, Previous, Masterlist, Next
~~~
Becca called a meeting the next morning, just over 24 hours since they brought Karlo home. The entire rebel community squeezed into the cookhouse, and Becca and Tao stood up on a table to address them all. First, Tao recapped the circumstances of Karlo’s capture – calling him Lark – and then he handed it over to Becca to explain the current situation.
“After talking to him, and doing some investigating,” Becca said, “We determined that Lark was actually a captive of the Commander’s, and was subject to very inhumane treatment. However, Lark himself insists that if we keep him here, the Commander will resort to any means necessary to get him back, including wiping us out if he has to.”
The crowd murmured.
“The most strategic course of action for us would be to trade Lark for something – resources, or perhaps even safe passage to Canada. But clearly, that is not the most humane option. Either way, the longer we keep Lark here, the more potential danger we may be in, if he is telling the truth. And I believe he is. He has -” her voice caught for a moment before she continued, “He has a fierce desire to protect us from harm. He is more than willing to return to the Commander in order to keep us safe. But we would be sending one of our own to a slow death.”
Tao watched Becca speak, his lips slightly parted. He hadn’t expected her to fall so clearly on the side of keep him.
“Regardless, we must consider the safety of the entire community, not just one person. We’ll take questions now.”
A man raised his hand.
“You say he’s willing to go back to the Commander? How can we trust him?”
Tao felt an odd prickle on the back of his neck. He glanced around the room, but most everyone was looking at Becca, not him.
“He only wishes to return because he firmly believes that the Commander will kill us all to get him back,” Becca was saying, “And he doesn’t want that to happen.”
Suddenly, he found them. Dark bronze eyes, trained on him and him alone. Wide with horror.
No.
“Is it my son?”
Marina’s words weren’t loud, but they cut through the room like a knife. Everyone turned to look at her, falling deathly silent, but she didn’t take her eyes off of Tao. He stood paralyzed, even his breath motionless in his lungs. In contrast her chest was heaving with near-sobs.
“Is it my son?!” she screamed.
Tao gulped. And nodded.
Marina was moving instantly, pushing and shoving through the crowd towards the door. Gasps and exclamations roiled through the mass of people. Tao jumped off the table to follow her.
“Marina, wait!”
She disappeared out the door, and Tao was still elbowing his way through the throng. People were shouting, now.
“It’s Marina’s kid?
“I can’t believe you didn’t tell us!
“I can’t believe you didn’t tell her!”
Tao burst out of the cookhouse into the morning light and rising heat of the day. He spotted Marina sprinting down the street, and took off after her.
Tao was a fairly well-trained militia man, but Marina was a mother running on pure adrenaline. He didn’t catch up until they were right outside Faye’s.
“Marina!” he caught her arm, panting, “He – I know you want to see him, I -”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” she shrieked at him, “You were -” she forced the words out between gasping breaths, “In my house, I showed you – showed you pictures of him, Tao!” She punched him in the chest to accentuate her rage. He barely swayed.
“I know, I’m sorry, I…” He realized with a sinking feeling that he wasn’t going to be able to stop her. “You’ll understand when you see him.”
She looked at him with that gaze of dawning horror again, her chest heaving.
“What the fuck does that mean?” she hissed, “What does… What does inhumane treatment mean, Tao?!”
“We think… We’re pretty sure… the Commander kept him, as uh…” Trying to tell Karlo’s mother their suspicions was infinitely harder than telling Vic – but apparently, Tao didn’t need to finish his sentence. Marina’s eyes filled with tears and she pressed a hand to her mouth to stifle a heart wrenching cry.
“Marina…” Tao reached out to put a hand on her shoulder, but she stepped back.
“No. I need to see him,” her voice was ragged, and she swiped the tears out of her eyes, “I need to see him right now.”
“Yeah,” Tao wasn’t about to argue with her, “Okay.”
He led her inside. The building was silent – Faye was at the meeting. Tao wondered how it was going now. If they’d voted yet.
Once upstairs, Tao turned to face Marina outside Karlo’s door.
“Listen,” he said, keeping his voice low, “You need to be prepared for… He might not be happy to see you.”
She nodded, her jaw set.
“I understand,” she whispered.
“Give me a minute to let him know you’re here?”
She shut her eyes, but nodded again.
“Okay.”
Tao knocked softly on the door before stepping inside, leaving Marina in the hallway.
Karlo was awake, slightly propped up on the pillows. A Watchman sat next to the bed, a book in her lap. They both watched Tao enter.
“Hannah,” Tao beckoned to the Watchman, “Can you wait downstairs for a bit?”
“Sure thing, boss.” She tucked her book under her arm and left.
Tao stayed by the door. He had the sense that what was about to happen would be incredibly overwhelming for Karlo, and he didn’t want to start things off by barging into the young man’s personal space. Karlo already looked like he was on high alert, watching Tao unblinkingly and slightly hunched around his broken arm.
“So… your mom is here. Here-here, this time. She wants – she needs to see you.”
“No.”
Tao was startled by how forceful Karlo’s quiet voice was. His face was grimly set, and he didn’t take his eyes off Tao.
“Karlo, it’s your mom-”
“I won’t see her.”
“Well, unfortunately, it’s not up to you or me anymore.” Tao turned to open the door.
“Tao, please.”
The use of his name made Tao pause, hand on the knob.
“Don’t do this to me,” Karlo said in a fearfully demanding whisper, “I need to be able to go back.”
Tao couldn’t quite look at him.
“You’re not going back,” he said, with more certainty than he felt. Then he opened the door.
Tao felt all of the air suck out of the room when Marina walked in. She entered slowly, each step seeming to take all her effort, her footsteps and shaky breathing the only sound audible. She stopped abreast of Tao, her hands clenched together in front of her.
“Karlo?” she whispered.
Karlo wasn’t looking at her. He had turned his head to glare out the window, utterly impassive. No, almost impassive; his eyes were too wide, and his good hand was fisted in the blankets on his lap.
“Karlo?” Marina started to walk around the bed to step into Karlo’s line of sight. Just as she was about to, he turned his head to look the other way.
“Karlo…” She seemed to be at a loss for any other words. Tears spilled down her face, and she sank into the chair by the bedside. She slowly reached out towards his shoulder.
“Karlo-”
“Don’t touch me,” Karlo snapped.
Marina withdrew her hand, pressing it to her mouth. She started to sob, doubling over in the chair.
Tao stared at Karlo in disbelief. Now that the boy was no longer feverish or sleep deprived, his stoic front was near unshakable. Tao caught Karlo’s shoulders shivering, once, and that was it.
He thought of his own mother. He’d been missing her for more than twice the amount of time Karlo had been missing his. If she were suddenly in front of him, crying her heart out, Tao couldn’t imagine what would stop him from rushing to her side – until he realized, he could.
If I thought my presence would kill her, I’d do anything to keep her away.
Please don’t do this to me, Karlo had begged. Now Tao regretted doing this to both of them – Karlo and Marina. He moved forward and put his arm around Marina’s shaking shoulders.
“Come on. Let’s go.”
To his surprise, she didn’t resist; but she continued to weep as he helped her to her feet and led her out of the room. Hanna stood waiting for them downstairs, having heard the wailing coming. Tao told her to stand guard outside Karlo’s room, to give the boy a breath of privacy. She darted up the stairs and Tao moved to help Marina sit in a chair, but she turned and pressed her face into his chest instead, throwing her arms around him.
Not entirely sure what to do, Tao wrapped his arms around her and held her as she wept. Regret built up in his stomach, and when Marina started losing steam he started apologizing.
“Marina, I’m really, really sorry, I… I should have prepared you better, for how he… I should have realized this would upset you, and…”
“Tao,” she choked out, lifting her red and tear-streaked face from his chest, “I’m not – I’m not crying because of that,” she hiccuped, “I’m crying because he’s alive, my baby is alive.”
“Oh!” Tao huffed with relief, “Oh.”
“He doesn’t have to smile, he doesn’t have to look at me, he just has to be here. But Tao – Joshua,” she gripped his bicep with a sudden urgency, “He can’t go back. No matter what happens, I’m not losing him again.”
“You won’t,” Tao said, “I promise. You won’t.”

...So guess who has more thoughts on Mer Broters before lore :]
More head canons :D (No I don't have too many thoughts about this sad mantaray and his little brother, don't worry abt it)
-Raylan is touch starved- Like, So incredibly touch starved to the point where Faye once gave him a hug and he immediately starting crying. (He felt horrible about it later but Faye reassured him that it was fine)
- Whenever Raylan tries to pick up Bucket, They'll get on his shoulder like a little owl and get comfortable. (Yes I am basing this off of something my cat does.)
- Raylan constantly afraid that he's being "too much" and is terrified of people getting bored or annoyed of him.
- Krit doesn't know how to feel at the idea of finding their family, cuz on one hand- They're so afraid that they and Raylan won't find anyone, they're afraid that their family is gone and just wants to live in ignorance for a little longer, On the other hand- If they're out there, and they find them, They and Raylan will have their family back, and can bring their family home to meet Theo, Faye and the rest of their found family. Little do they know that Raylan is also terrified of the fact that they might not find anyone.
-Raylan likes rambling about the stars to Bucket, He'll talk about the stories behind them, what time you can see them best and anything else he can think of. Krit will ask him to explain the star stories if they think he's being too stressed.
- He has a waterproof version of Field Notes, It was a gift from Theo a while back.
- Krit has been meaning to bring Raylan to a lush cave, but hasn't been able to find one.
- When Raylan was in The End, He went a couple days not knowing who he was, where he was or what was even happing because he didn't have the motivation or energy to get up and re-read the signs.
- Raylan will have nightmares of getting trapped in the end again- which leads him into having a silent panic attack. One of the only ways to calm him down is for Bucket to lay on his lap and purr. Once he's calmed down enough- he'll text Krit in the hopes that they're awake. Most times they are- and they'll swim over and comfort their brother, reassuring him that he's out of the End- That he's not alone anymore.
Who else is excited for Lore today :3 I am both terrified and so extremely excited :D
( HeyHay and Sherb- Please give The Dawn Broters their family back- plz I love them so much They deserve to be happy- Raylan deserves to be gay plz ) /hj /hj
#mer smp#Mersmp Raylan Dawn#mersmp dawn broters#Mersmp Krit#Mersmp#please i love them so much#they deserve happiness#plz i'll cry ;-;#heyhay13#sherbertquake56

FFxivWrite23 Entry #1: Envoy
FFxivWrite 2023
FFxivWrite23 Masterpost
Prompt #1: Envoy
“Does the name Zularti Vensar mean anything to you, m’lady?”
Faye’s hands immediately went limp, dumbfounded. She forgot about the teacup she had been holding, fumbling and catching it before it completely upturned, but not without sloshing several drops of its contents onto her gloves and the pink tablecloth to stain the fabric. Had she misheard him?
“I thought it sounded familiar, but I couldn’t place it…” the Lalafell across the table continued thoughtfully, stroking his snowy white beard. Lord Raisan Arcmantle had been a friend and colleague for nearly a decade, and few could be as steadfast or capable, but perhaps his age was beginning to catch up to him.
“Excuse me–I’m sorry, what?” the Midlander sputtered, unable to get any other words out. She took a moment to collect herself, quietly clearing her throat. “Why… why do you ask?”
“We had a visitor here at the teahouse by that name a few days ago, and I showed him around. He said he was a member of the Harbingers of Dawn from the old days. I didn’t recognize him, but it’s been a long time, and my memory isn’t what it used to be… But he had his free company badge, and I know it as one I made by my own hand,” Raisan explained, and Faye did her best to keep up her calm veneer even as her head spun, finding little succeed in the endeavor..
“Zularti? That’s not… That’s not possible… He’s…” Her words trailed off, unable to bring herself to finish the thought, and she shook her head slowly. He couldn’t possibly be alive, could he? After all this time, all her searching, could he just show up out of the blue? It was the conclusion her heart leapt to, what she wished to be true more than anything else, but she couldn’t allow herself to entertain the idea and set herself up for such grave disappointment. So what was this, then? A cruel joke or veiled threat from someone who knew far too much? “What did this person look like?”
The Lalafell continued to run his fingers along his goatee as he tried to recollect. “He was tall… but I suppose everyone is taller than me. My apologies, m’lady. I don’t remember much else that stood out. My memory is failing me.”
Faye stared down at her teacup, her hands shaking. It took all her focus to be mindful of her Magitek prosthetic, to make certain she didn’t crush the porcelain beneath the metal digits. The conversation continued, but it felt so far away, the Hyur lost in her own thoughts. Raisan had given the visitor a tour and they reminisced. Raisan offered him a room to stay at the teahouse, but the man had refused. She would ask a question as casually as she could, and Raisan would offer a response that brought her no closer to the answers she truly wanted. Her dismay must have been so apparent from across the room that Drakkaern had taken notice and wandered over to her side to offer his comfort, and while some part of her was vaguely aware of his presence, she was too preoccupied to acknowledge the poor man with his hand upon her shoulder.
“He did say he will return sometime. It should be easy to spot him if he does,” Raisan surmised. “We don’t get many Hrothgar around here.”
Faye stared at him in disbelief.
“Hrothgar?”

Flew too Close to the Sun (part 1)
Pairing: austin!elvis x black fem oc (Faye)
Summary: With a chance of a lifetime on the line, Faye convinces her sisters going Vegas is the right choice. The Williams Sisters meet Elvis. (Wc: 1292)
Warnings: Allusions to cheating, that's basically it
Fic Masterlist
Blog Masterlist
Meet the sisters
A/N: Hiiii. I’m so excited to get this series underway. This is my first multi part work. I’m planning on it being 5 parts in total but ideas/changes always come to me so it could more or it could be less. I also have other Elvis ideas that I hope to post while this series goes on. Just some house keeping things: this starts during 1971/1972 and and he’s like 36/37. Also I expect the other parts to be longer, this is just laying ground work. Also this work will be a mixture of my interpretation of the movie plus my interpretation of the real Elvis. As always, please reblog, like, and follow if you see something you enjoy.
The room is eerily quiet, which is not typical for the Williams Sisters when they are together. This is Faye’s fault; she knows that, but frankly she’s trying to find a reason to feel guilty. They’re going to be singing back for Elvis Presley and it’s all because of her. Answering yes to the opportunity on the behalf of the group was a selfish, but Faye is always willing to admit she’s selfish when it comes to their career.
“You’ve done a lot of dumb stuff, but this takes the cake,” Dawn says somberly, getting up from her seat. “I need to go call Joseph.”
Picking up on the anger steaming out of Dawn, Faye doesn’t have the heart to tell her that Joseph, their manager, has already worked out flight details.
Both Faye and Shirley flitch when they hear the door to one of the rooms in their parents’ home slam shut. Thank God mama is not home. She expected Dawn to be upset, she’s never been a fan of surprises. Faye’s brown doe eyes flicker over to meet Shirley’s hazel ones. There are more beats of silence before Shirley breaks the tension.
“She’s not wrong. Not about the dumb thing; it’s just a heads up would’ve been nice.”
Her tone is soft but clearly frustrated, and it makes Faye’s heart sink a bit. She doesn’t know what to say. An apology would probably be a good start, but she’s not sorry.
“This will be good for us,” she says earnestly. “We all said that we want to broaden our sound. Think about all the people we could meet!”
“I’m not saying it isn’t a good opportunity. I’m saying it would have been nice to know about it before you said yes.”
Before the conversation between them can continue, Dawn reemerges glaring as she sits back on the coach next to Shirley. Joseph must have told her it’s a done deal.
“I know how y’all are,” Faye starts, not appreciating the evil eyes she’s getting from Dawn. “It would’ve been this huge back and forth and by the time we came a conclusion, they would’ve gone with some other group.”
“We’ve done the backup singer thing before, and we all hated it. Why would it be different now?” Shirley pipes up with a skeptical glance.
A slight chill runs up Faye’s spine thinking about that. It was right after they signed with Motown Records, and it was rough to say the least.
“I doubt doing the Chitlin’ Circuit with Pastor Buddy and the Holy Choir is gonna be the same as being in a luxury hotel,” she’s getting exasperated now. Plans have been made and they are leaving for Vegas in a couple of days anyway. “Elvis personally asked for us for this. Apparently, he’s a big fan of ours!”
A snort and an eye roll come from Dawn.
“Yeah, I hear he’s a fan of most women under the age of thirty,” she mumbles fiddling with her ring. Shirley lets out an indignant sound from the back of her throat while Faye scoffs.
She knows they’re worried about being out west, being away from mama and papa… being away from the men they love. But what is the point of being in the group if they aren’t going to take good opportunities.
“Look, I should’ve told y’all. But think of the world this could open us up to. We could work with different producers, make connections, and meet other artists. At least that’s what the man with the funny accent said on the phone,” Faye says with a confident smile.
The two other girls share a look before Dawn lets out a deep sigh.
“I have wanted to go out west,” she says slowly, and Faye lets out a squeal and jumps up from the loveseat. “But there are conditions. If we do this, we must do it right. No getting distracted, and we run everything by each other from now.”
Faye nods enthusiastically taking each one their hands.
“I have the best feeling about this!”
The next couple of days were a whirlwind for the girls. Packing, staying goodbye to their parents and loved ones, and preparing for a new chapter. Faye always gets anxiety about going on planes. Or maybe this time it’s the nerves of this opportunity. She doesn’t want her sisters to see her sweat; this was her decision at the end of the day.
“My feet are killing me,” Shirley sighs softly, swaying from foot to foot looking at her heeled boots. They walked in the beautiful theater of The International Hotel with other members of the band and backup.
“I told you not to wear those expensive death traps to begin with,” Dawn pushes her curls over her shoulder. “Would be nice if we could meet him already.”
They had been in Vegas for five days now and have met everyone in the staff but the star himself.
“He’s probably bu-…... oh wow,” Before Faye can finish her sentence, the sound slight commotion, and flashes of red and gold catches everyone’s eye.
It’s a sight to behold, Elvis Presley in the flesh. Adorned in a red pirate shirt, and a flashy belt. The sisters watch him go around and introduce himself to members of the band. Faye’s heart rate rises a bit the closer he gets to them. Despite already enjoying his music, she starts to understand how people can’t get enough him. The fainting, the crying, the fawning; it all makes perfect sense. Being charming will always go far in this business.
“He has quite the presence,” whispers Dawn. Even she sounds a little mystified watching him work a room. “Oh, look alive y’all. He’s coming over here.”
Faye instinctively brings her hand to her hair, trying to make sure each hair is in its proper place.
“There they are. The ladies of the hour!”
Faye wishes she could see their faces because she’s sure they look like deer in headlights. Shirley seems to be the first one to break out of the trance and goes to shake his hand.
“It’s so nice meeting you. Thank you for inviting us out here,” Shirley, thank God, is always levelheaded in situations like this. Dawn follows suit in introducing herself, while Faye on the other hand is a bit blinded by his smile.
“Pleasure is all mine darlins’. Big, big fan,” he replies brightly, dazzling blue eyes shift to Faye. “And you must be Faye, the one who asked about the costume budget.”
Dawn and Shirley both hold in giggles while Faye cringes recounting the conservation she had with Elvis’s manager. She was a bit curious about what they would wear, sue her. She also did not know “the Colonel” would take that note back to his boss.
Sensing her slight embarrassment, he brings her hand up to his lips to kiss it.
“Nothin’ wrong with a woman knowin’ what she wants.”
Oh
“EP! We need to get this show on the road,” a voice from the group of men that came in with him calls out.
While Faye tries to make sense of the interaction she just had, he politely excuses himself to get rehearsals officially started. The girls are silent for a moment, nothing but the sound of instruments tuning and people mingling flowing between them. Faye catches the look that Dawn and Shirley give each other. She hates that, the innate way they can say so much with just glances at each other.
Faye can’t help but wonder what their eyes are saying to each other. Instead of asking, she pushes those feelings aside and reminds herself how great the next couple of weeks will be. How good they must be.

Happy 6th Birthday to my Miss Faye Day Dawning!
I love you so much. My Insistent Assistant, my bossy little dog, my bed hog, and constant snoopervisor. I love your larger than life personality and you constantly make me laugh. I love the way you barge into rooms - often slamming the door open. I love the look you give me while waiting for me to give you a treat in the morning.
I love that when I'm sick or having a really hard day you forcibly snuggle me.
I love watching you learn things - the way you test every variation to make sure you understand exactly what's being asked of you.
I love you my clever, cheerful, charming girl. Happy Birthday!
#dogblr#faye day dawning#corgi#australian cattle dog#happy birthday#i can't believe she's six#and i love her so much#she's my soul dog

❛ THE LONGEST DAY ❜
— May ‘62
Nick had been up since dawn. He’d woken up and immediately slipped out of bed groggily sans his and Faye’s usual Saturday morning romp to get ready for a day he was only to be a bystander in. His wife, to his surprise, had gotten up before him, already busy in the bathroom when he walked in to take a piss, getting presentable for people coming to make her look presentable. Nick didn’t question it. He did have his own bathroom but hers was closer. An hour later he was in their conversation pit, shaved, showered, and sitting alone and away from all the action, already bored as he browsed the Los Angeles Times for something interesting to read, his second espresso on a small table at his side.
She’d put in this request for him to take part weeks ago, for moral support, and so he had no room to complain. According to Faye, this wouldn’t be like her normal one or two-day photoshoots. Cosmopolitan magazine wanted Hollywood’s enduring blonde bombshell to be professionally captured all over Los Angeles, starting here in their home. That had taken some convincing for Nick on Faye’s part. For obvious reasons, he preferred their privacy. She’d worn him down eventually with a Nicky here and an attentive fuck there. By the end of it, which might take several weeks, they’d have hundreds of photographs of her at home, at various beaches, at hotspots all around Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, and even a last day up at the Hollywood sign. Nick assumed he’d be required to support her at most, if not all of these locations.
He was bracing himself for all.
Their daughter Mia was on the floor in front of Faye, a witness to this big day, brushing their golden retriever Rudy’s snout, mimicking what was being done to her mother with one of the extra brushes the stylist had sweetly handed her. Rudy, like Faye, was always game for attention and sat there happily and let her, his tail thumping on the floor. A few months shy of three, Mia was already Faye in miniature. Same face, same blue eyes, even the same facial expressions, which sometimes caught Nick off guard. But, unfortunately to some, she had Nick’s same dark hair, a fact his dirty-blonde wife had been pointing out and lamenting since she was born. At this point, Nick was convinced she’d continue do so for the rest of their lives.
Matteo, their infant son, was out with their nanny who was running errands for the house. Unlike with Mia, Faye hoped their son did take after his father in the looks department.
“Watch his eyes, baby,” Nick said in a soft tone his daughter recognized as only for her, turning her head quickly to look at him and nodding obediently.
“Okay, Daddy,” she said before going back to brushing.
George Bartlett, Cosmopolitan’s chosen photographer and his wife’s long-time collaborator was at the far end of one of their couches fiddling with his equipment, with camera pieces and lenses spread out all over the carpet. The wardrobe stylist whose name Nick had already forgotten was turned towards another couch, spreading and straightening out of the all the clothing choices they’d brought with them. Neither man seemed in much of a hurry. And Nick knew how long it could take for his wife to get ready. For photoshoots, especially. Letting out as quiet a sigh as he could, Nick stared solemnly for a moment, shut the main section of the newspaper louder than he’d intended, tossed it aside, and reached for Sports.
It was going to be a long day.

3, 11, 13 and 14 for the Fire Emblem ask game?
3. What titles have you played?
So far I've only been able to play the newest titles, Awakening, Fates, Echoes, Three Houses (and it's Warriors spinoff), and Engage, although I've technically played the DS Shadow Dragon remake via an emulator bc my DS copy got sold but I just uh, got bored and have never finished it. Also playing FE on a computer emulator's a...really weird experience and I prefer using a console, so I've had a hard time getting into the older games (although I did read the entire script for Path of Radiance and part of Radiant Dawn, and one of these days I'll watch playthroughs of both games if IntSys doesn't remake them or port them to a system I actually have).
11. A character that deserved better?
Oh where to start. I feel like a lot of the Fates cast suffered in the characterization department bc there were so many characters and the writing team got stretched way thin, and so there's a lot of playable characters that get ignored by both IntSys and the fandom who I think are a delight if people would just look past their joke trait for five seconds, but for unplayable characters I think Lilith could have benefited from more attention bc she's very cool but there's so much going on in Fates that she's kinda...sidelined too. (Also I have a Lot of thoughts about Ikona as a character despite her being very dead, never getting a design, and barely having any story significance, but that's probably more a me thing).
For Echoes definitely Faye (rip) bc damn if the writers and fans didn't do her dirty. Like Fates, we'd be here all day if I listed every grievance I had about every 3H character, but my guy Cyril deserves the world and not the treatment he got from the writers (mostly for the spinoff) and especially not from fans. For Engage, which I am fairly happy with overall, well...Marni, you would have loved Alear's giant friend-family-group if only the writers loved you as much as I (and a few other fans) do.
13. What do you like most about Fire Emblem?
Oooh, there's a lot, I mean I keep coming back to the series for a reason, right? I really enjoy the overall gameplay but especially some of the weird mechanics that make it so I can do wild things every playthrough despite usually sticking to similar strategies overall. Narratively I love, love, love the characters and especially the supports, there's always such a wide variety. It's also really neat to see the art style change every few games bc it means there's never really one "look" to FE (even if I'm way biased bc Hidari has been my favorite lead illustrator so far; I really do enjoy seeing all the different art styles, it's so fun). Also the music is always excellent, and I've actually quite enjoyed the full voice acting the past few games
14. Something you really don't like about this series?
The fandom. I mean, okay, yes there's lots of things I could complain about for the games themselves (I'm not fond of the loli dragons as a visual design trope, I think a lot of the fantasy racism is handled in poor taste, I'm not a huge fan of the split-routes as a gameplay or story mechanic, the gender-locked classes are so stupid to me, etc. etc.), but like? Honestly more so over the past few years than when I first got into FE, the fandom's been a really exhausting experience bc any problematic tropes that get used in the narrative are nothing compared to the actual issues I've come across in the fandom (i.e. some fans are racist--and specifically antisemetic--towards other fans over these fictional characters, and honestly I think real live people getting harassed over some fiction media is way scarier than the issues of race being handled poorly by the writers).
Like, yes I still haunt the FE tag bc I have half the fandom here blocked, but it's exhausting to have to keep updating my blocklist after so many years. Anytime I talk to someone in-person about FE I always add the "but listen the online fandom sucks, so maybe avoid it". Like, sure the fandom's not as toxic as what I've heard about some other games, but damn.
Not to say the fandom's all bad--I never would have found your blog if not for FE, and there are so many fans who are chill and fun, and I love seeing all the fanart and headcanons and theories and other fun things, and I do enjoy reading a good critical analysis when I can find one too as well as just general analyses like when people look at the Buddhist themes in the games or the recurring narrative themes (brings me back to reading research papers in college if they're written a certain way), and I still love making my own art stuff for FE and coming up with my own silly headcanons and theories and analyses. Because despite everything my experiences with the negative side of the fandom have somehow, miraculously, not withered my deep love of the characters and series overall. So like, there is a lot of good here too, and I try not to focus so much on the negative aspects of things I enjoy bc it doesn't do anything for me. But sometimes I am Very Tired, y'know?
#unsuspecting-person#ask game#I still don't have an ask tag#for context the fandom was already a bit exhausting before 3H bc of Fates but 3H kinda was my breaking point regarding the fandom#like I didn't start liberally blocking blogs until the batshit fandom nonsense of 3H#but I still love the series a whole lot and those fans who are chill and kind and I will continue to be insufferable about FE bc I love it

( rosie huntington-whiteley, she/her, cursed blood ) to LEBLANC ASINASTRA, the whole world looks like an open page. with a leap of faith, their ability of CRYSTAL DEFENSE grows a little stronger. they are a SEQUINED SPIDER shade aligned to NO ONE. for ONE-HUNDRED THIRTY-ONE years, they have survived a world of magic with both their SINCERITY and SELF-INVOLVEMENT. they work as an AIRSHIP PIRATE, but if they could change their fate, they’d want to REALIZE THEIR PAST AND HAVE THE FUTURE THEY DESERVE.
hello, hello! eva here again again. inspo includes the likes of the following, though by no means is this list exhaustive because, like always, i had a lot: tachikawa mimi of digimon, leblanc of ffx, faye valentine of cowboy bebop, boa hancock of one piece, alexis rose of schitt's creek, roxanne hart of chicago, stella of winx club, emma frost of marvel.
&. ⸻ BASICS
name — leblanc asinastra emilia claus
aliases — 'diamond skin' leblanc
birthdate — august 20
zodiac — leo
birthplace — sombertown unknown
sexuality — biromantic bisexual
alignment — chaotic good
temperament — choleric
element — fire
primary vice — greed
primary virtue — kindness
house — none
occupation — former actress, current airship pirate
markings — curse mark at the base of her wrist
&. ⸻ HEADCANONS
a former film actress. and while rumors have circulated on an unexpected death or other life drama, the official word on her absence is painted as 'health issues' per her agents and she is currently on hiatus. in truth, her absence is due to her cravings as a cursed blood getting the better of her and her wish to shy away from the public. she does desire to reclaim her spotlight in a proper capacity, but in the right way — in other words, cured of her affliction entirely.
most of her body of work as an actress includes soap operas and actual romance films. one of her final films is her in a dramatic action role as a vampire hunter, an intended departure. just after filming completed, she'd been bitten and left the spotlight mid-tour.
her dwindling finances as a result of her lack of work and insane debt being passed off in her name are among the reasons she's turned to piracy. she rather enjoys the venture, frankly, as it gives her the sort of life she craves — one full of spectacle, riches, and adventure.
as leblanc was turned many years ago, at the height of her popularity and by a man she trusted wholeheartedly to care and be there for her, her view on romance has since fallen to the pits. she is never serious about anyone she entertains these days and most her ventures in this regard are shallow at best — flirtatious and meaningless. and while there is a wish within her to find true love once more, her focus has predominantly turned towards her own wealth and worries.
a secondary part of her goals is to see her past life restored. she suffered memory loss far too many years back before coming into astra's care and has yet to recall anything, really. she considered herself the natural daughter of astra, given some similarities, until this realization dawned on her. as a result, her hunt for jewels and shiny things is peppered between her main wish for memory spheres — the orbs of collected history scattered throughout the world. she's under the more recent impression that her true past paints her in a royal light, and has been hunting down any clues to attest to this fact or any remnant of her past.
her airship, the lorelei, was attained through unknown means. and any occasion she's given to speak on her acquiring the ship, the story always seems to change. nevertheless, the vessel has been her favored mode of transportation for many years now and she welcomes all aboard it. cursed bloods, outsiders, ruffians of all make and nature. so long as they declare fealty to her and her cause and follow her orders explicitly when demanded, there are no troubles. her current crew count seems to change up rather consistently, given her habit of collecting strays and permitting her crew to come and go as they please.
unlike others in astra's family, where they may wish to do away with humans entirely, care for them, or see them burned alive, leblanc holds a rather curiously indifferent view of the species. so long as they worship and praise her accordingly, she's perfectly fine with their existence as a whole.
her golden hair is often decorated in diamonds, be they in floral arrangements or merely sprinkled throughout as a defense mechanism. cowboy hats are also a usual part of her headwear, favoring them quite earnestly.
steel-bladed fans and enchanted pheromone-enhancing perfume are a regular part of her arsenal
gossip and dramatics are among her favored indulgences
&. ⸻ DREAMSHADE FORMS
leblanc doesn't actually favor either of her forms as she considers them a bit unnatural and with her now being a cursed blood, unnecessarily painful transitions. she tends to use them, her final one especially, as a last resort.
tw: spiders
base form — here
example of crystal webbing — here
hollow form — here
&. ⸻ ABILITY
CRYSTAL DEFENSE — the ability to use crystals and minerals of all kinds defensively. leblanc is only capable of utilizing one type of mineral at a time, though she can alter the specific crystal in use at any moment. as such, she can go from sparkling diamond skin or emerald walls to the more poisonous adamite or erionite in a flash. infusing shards of said crystal into the bloodstream or body can induce various illusionary and lethal effects as well.
&. ⸻ FAMILY
astra asinastra — adoptive mother
jean-jacques asinastra — adoptive elder brother
sylvianne asinastra — adoptive elder sister
cerise asinastra — adoptive younger sister
jessica claus — biological sister
&. ⸻ KNOWN HISTORY
the most that leblanc recalls in her fractured memory is flames all around, a collapsed body, and eventually, the walls of the crystal caverns. she has absolutely no clue what else lies in her past, how she came to be among the asinastra family, or why.
her desire to be an actress frankly stemmed from her desire to be worshipped on a larger scale, to be idolized by humankind and anyone else. she would meet a man who would both see to it that this dream was briefly fulfilled and simultaneously taken out from under her with false promises, massive debt, and an empty altar.
these days, her life as a pirate sees her fulfilled in other ways. her intentions now lie in freedom from her cursed existence, to return to the life of celebrity in proper form ( rather than as merely an outlaw ), and of course, to see her memories restored.

Hello to the author of my all-time favourite Fexi fic (I mean Prairie Doll)!
Since it's Christmas time, I have a few Christmasy questions for you 🎄
What's the favourite Christmas gift you've ever received? Do you have favourite Christmas carol? What are your favorite Christmas drink and treat? What time do you wake up on Christmas morning?
Thank you so much for the delightful ask, @mimbletonia-mimbulus!
Fav Christmas gift? Hmmmm....When I was in high school, I asked my dad for tix to go to Ireland with my mom. (They're divorced.) My mom's from there originally, but hadn't been back in over 20 years at the time, so it was one of those "this is for me, but it's really for us" gifts. I got to a bunch of stuff with her and meet some of her oldest friends that I'd always heard stories about, but never really had faces to go with names. It was super nice.
Fav Christmas carol? Does "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" count???? (That song is so outrageous and over the top AND I LOVE IT!!!) If we're going more traditional though, I will belt "Hark the Herald Angels Sing!" every time I hear it. Guaranteed.
Fav Christmas drink & treat? Hmmmmm.....that's hard. I'm not entirely sure I have one to be honest. I've been a tea drinker my whole life, but I'm not sure I'd necessarily consider it a special "Christmas" drink, even though it's the only thing coming to mind right now. lol. As for treat, it's been a hot minute, but my Nana used to make me a tin full of homemade apple hand pies. She came of age in the 1930s, so she was one of those old school bakers that made her crusts from scratch and still used actual lard. 🤤🤤🤤 I would pretty much devour the entire tin of pies before I even left her apartment on Christmas. Unfortunately, my mom is not a baker and she never got the recipe from my Nana before she died (despite me asking her repeatedly--not that I'm salty about it...lol), so I haven't been able to have them in over 20 years. 😭😭😭
Christmas wake-up call? Way too damn early, that's for sure. lol. To be fair though, I have 2 small humans, so I'm still in the stage where they're waking up at the ass crack of dawn on Christmas Day while my husband and I blearily try to convince them to at least go back to bed until after sunrise before they go looking for what Santa left them. lol
Also, since it appears you made the NICE list this year, doll, I hope you enjoy a little gift from me to you! (under the cut)
A wee snippet from the forthcoming chapter of Prairie Doll!
“Now see here, Fez,” Custer hissed as he leaned further across the counter top, the stench from his mouth fumigating Fez’s lungs with every unavoidable breath he took. “My, uh…girl…here has found herself in a bit of a debt with some…unfortunate…people. I offered to let her work it off with them, but they weren’t, uh…how you might say interested in that arrangement.” (Fez was immensely grateful Ash was in the back. Even though he had no great love of Faye, Fez knew even he would be hard pressed not to send Custer through their glass storefront window.)
“And this is somehow my affair because…?” Fez asked in that same bored tone, hoping to speed up this discussion.
“Right, right,” Custer chuckled. “Straight to the point. Always liked that about you, Fez. Always liked that about you.” He took the poorly gnawed beef jerky out of his mouth and waved it haphazardly in the air like a school marm’s pointer. “See, you and I have business, right? And as business partners in a common enterprise, I thought to myself, who would be in a position to help me resolve Faye’s little…misstep with these good folks? Fez!”
“Ain’t loaning you money, Custer,” Fez said with a sharpness that was all Kitty O’Neill.
“Now, I ain’t said nothing about a loan, son,” Custer said with an all-too-practiced smoothness. “However, it is going to take a little bit o’...negotiating, let’s say, to make this go away. Man to man. I’m sure you understand, Fez.”
He only gave him a dead-eyed stare. His lack of response made Custer bristle, his fingertips turning a pale yellowish-ivory as he pressed more of his weight down on his hands, trying to lean further into Fez’s personal space. The red-headed man didn’t budge from his position behind the counter. Custer let out an exasperated huff when he realized his posturing was for nought.
