— MALLEUS DRACONIA | red
or, malleus forgets to tell you that his grandmother is coming (only remembering the day she does) and you immediately have an inner crisis.
wc. 792 words
note. hey guys, I guess thats it
"my grandmother—" he paused. "she is visiting today,"
you promptly choke on the tea like you would with one of lilia's homemade 'fruit shake' that he'd mistaken salt for sugar, and apparently added eggs for more flavor. midst your heaping coughing session—with familiar care malleus' face scrunches up in concern. he places a hand over your spine, like it's honestly gonna relieve the sting in your throat.
as patient as ever he waits calmly till you've finished losing your voice. "are you all right, beastie?" he asks.
beastie. you didn't know exactly when he'd started calling you that. you supposed it had already happened before you fully realized it on your own. strangely enough it oddly feels more affectionate compared to his old 'child of man' though you do admit it was better with 'my'.
well the old one did hold some sentimental value. you never did let go of his tsunotaro nickname, no matter how much sebek yelled, and bemoaned over.
malleus didn't mind. he liked it as well.
your face shifts into a deadpan, rubbing your poor throat. at the very least he could have told you that after you'd finished gulping down that damned water! "given how I almost died—no." you answer curtly, voice wavering several times. to be met with a confused stare.
"but you are alive and well," he expresses the obvious. politely leaving his arms hanging by his sides uselessly. as much as he'd like to keep his hands on you he supposes he'd be stepping over boundaries and possibly making you uncomfortable. and malleus would hate it if it turned out like that.
"oh malleus, dear. you don't get it,"
the new endearment term causes warmth to bloom in his chest, his lips twitch to a small smile and he fights the urge to just cradle you in the palm of his hand—cherish you, and hide you away from everyone else.
because malleus believes no one would love you like he ever does.
"what do you mean? get what?"
"nothing,"
"how would I get nothing? It must be something,"
if you did answer his statement you know it would just keep going, into malleus not understanding once again. but you suppose it's what makes him lovable, despite the contrast of what you are thinking (his large frame, and his refined features you could spend a decade staring at) he's like a child with an innocence that not a lot of people have.
he is very genuine.
you should stop thinking about it lest you fall deeper.
"nevermind that. your grandmother? hello?" you flail your arms around. hitting malleus once but he doesn't even flinch.
"hello. it seems like I forgot to tell you."
ignoring the greeting in the beginning that probably responded to your hello that wasn't even meant to be one. you huff. seriously? it seems my ass,, it would've been nice, great even! if he told you days prior to her arrival. and not like.. hours before she does.
never did you expect to be introduced to someone's family member. based off the countless books you stuck your nose in, in general it's very,,, intimate? to be fair it's a very big step and you can't say you're ready for it.
what if she doesn't like you? you're literally this,,, human that doesn't have any strong titles or anything. just plain, boring and ordinary. you're only granted the privilege to be this close with malleus since you're only really the first person to show him kindness besides the people that grew up with him.
if it were someone else, would they be standing in your position right now? would they be the one being introduced into a slimmer of his personal life?
so you've heard. she is a very popular person, strong but kind. rough around the edges but she was a leader that briar valley needed. sebek often boasted about her. definitely not in the same tone that he uses with malleus but respect from sebek might as well be winning 1st place in a competition with thousands of other participants.
you aren't even scraping the surface of how hard it is to get it.
probably sensing your inner turmoil, and seeing the troubled look on your face malleus subconsciously leans in. to provide comfort, to become a shoulder you'd lean in without the royalty-commoner thing separating you two.
the look in his eyes softens. "what's wrong?" he asks you sincerely.
yeah what is wrong? it's not like you're in any place to care about her opinion anyways.. not at all.. you think stubbornly, sweatdropping at the amount of thoughts screeching about first impressions.
if you meet her then at the very least—you don't want her to hate you. because hating you means relaying the flaws she saw to malleus, then swaying him that you weren't worth it, then next thing you know you lost him.
I am totally calm. you think, not hearing his words.
malleus opens his mouth. closing it, opening it then repeat for a goon ten seconds. it's rare to see him pondering about what to say.
"you look like a fish." you say.
he wonders how you could be so calm when you looked close to walking out a second ago.
"that's impossible." he responds.
then there's silence. just comfortable silence that two people whose relationship peaked to achieve it have.
"don't worry. whatever she thinks, I still—you still will be my child of man." my grandmother. she certainly would have something to say of you.
but she once said that love is unexpected. sometimes it happens the least you expect it, it's unforgettable and it conquers everything else. if your love is strong then nothing will break it. she had told him, and if it were really true. he's sure his love for you knows no bounds.
warmth presses itself to your heart, it travels up to your brain till it forces it to make you smile. "thanks."
you put up an awkward thumbs up. "you'd be my tsunotaro forever too."
he smiles.
for you forever doesn't exist, to him it does.
a selfish part of him just wants you to stay with him till destiny's time is up. and if you want he'll give it right to you. for now he won't make the decision that isn't his right to. your mortality is a problem but no matter how much he wants to get rid of him it's not his choice.
he hopes your love for him is as strong as the one he has for you. but then again, he doesn't believe that the love he has for you is stronger than anyone else.
yes. he has all the time in the world to love you
note. even for just a sec it was really nice to write this. gasp, is this a calling for me?

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐧 𝐱 F!𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐬
Summary: I think the title speaks for itself but basically what movie you and the Genshin men are in
Characters/Relations; Diluc, Childe, Cyno, Kazuha, Alhaitham x F!Reader
Warnings: SWEARING, LOTS OF IT, mentions of blood, rude moms, death, swords, fights, creepy men, gaslighting, guilt tripping, manipulation, tighnari is literally all the animal sidekicks in these, these are not fully sccurate to the movies more like 97% is accurate but wtv
under the cut!!
support me on kofi <3 link is on master list!
❥Diluc: Beauty and the Beast (Live Version)
♫“𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞.”
- cmon he radiates major beast vibes
- so I had the live version in mind for this but its hardly any different from the og other than the songs and extra characters
- the casting would be
-Alice as the enchantress who cursed Diluc
-Lumière as Venti
-Cogsworth as Aether
-Mrs. Potts as Jean
-Chip as Klee
-Kaeya as Gaston
-LeFou as Rosaria
-it’s kinda like dawn winery is the ‘castle’ so imagine it as that just larger and mondstadt is the town that forgot all abt the castle in the woods
-so we all know how the story goes; The Prince aka Diluc is cursed with shit by an enchantress (Alice) for being selfish and is turned into a beast while everyone else is turned into random stuff you’d find in a home and then there’s a rose and if sm1 falls in love with Diluc before the last petal falls then everyone is set free.
-Gaston, or Kaeya in this, wants to marry Belle aka you, but you don’t like him despite how hot he is and then one day your father leaves for the market but gets lost and finds the castle, the beast captures him for staying in the dawn winery and then you switch places with him yeah yeah and fall in love
-Diluc genuinely radiates beast vibes especially given the fact how cold he is at first towards you
-like Diluc is not a nice person at all at the start. He’s rude, has no feelings, is cold hearted.
-it’s only when he realizes that the rose only has like 7 petals left he decided he needs to do something.
-but at the same time who could ever love him? He was a selfish monster.
-however when you escaped the castle and attacked by wolves, he knew leaving you out there to die was horrible so he saved you; getting hurt during it.
-you were contemplating on escaping and leaving him here to die, but you weren’t a monster like him and got him to stand up, taking him back to the castle and treating him
-from then on he was forever in your thanks
-it’s one day when he’s in bed, healing, he hears you reciting something familiar.
“Romeo and Juliet?” He asks with a scoff, turning to look at you.
“You know Shakespeare?” You ask, eyes lighting up a bit as you refused to believe someone like him actually reads.
When he nods, you scoff in shock with a laugh. “Do you like it? Do you have any favourite works?”
“None. Most of his works revolve around yucky smucky romance. I have way better books to read.”
“Oh really? Like what?”
- he has a whole fucking library in the dawn winery and when he takes you to it your shocked.
-in your town you’ve ready every single book but not one from his library.
-when he asks if you like it you scoff, claiming you “love it!”
-so he gives you the whole library.
-it’s then on all his old workers and friends notice how close you two have gotten. They’d find you reading a book to him as he’d try to sleep
-there would be snow fights out in the garden, him winning since his larger hands could make a very much larger snowball than yours
-I think we all get the point; then Gaston or Kaeya comes blah blah he dies
-the last petal falls and you’re like fuck but then you kiss him and OH EM GEE ALICE IS THERE AND TURNS HIM BACK TO A MAN
-he’s hot asf you realize with his red hair andnwjdnjwdnkwdjiwnekwke
-BALLROOM DANCING.
-he’s such a good dancer even as a beast oh my god
-other than that we know the story, but you’ve changed him for the better and freed everyone of the castle and have everyone their memories back.
-most importantly, you saved him and now he could marry you.
Childe; Anastasia
“Now shoulders back and stand up tall and do not walk, but try to float!”
“I feel a little foolish am I floating?”
“Like a sinking boat.”
-He and dimitri both have red hair okay it matches
-well Dimitri had chestnut brown hair but CHESTNUT ID CLOSE TO GINGER
-totally not because snezhnaya is based off of Russia too
-idk even without his snezhnayan background or the chestnut hair he still gives me major Dimitri vibes
-so the story of Anastasia is ur a lil princess living with ur amazing family in snezhnya (russia). Childe is one of the kitchen boys and helpers, and admired Princess Y/N from afar constantly. However, one day during a ball, your castle and homeland is attacked by a wizard, killing your parents in the process. All that’s left of the Royal family is you and your grandma, Childe helping the both of you escape but is attacked in the process.
-running to a train to escape, your grandma makes it on first but you can’t catch up and grandma leaves without you blah blah she cries she misses you
-you gain a concussion or wtv and amnesia takes its place to you, now living In Liyue. after like a decade, Dimitri (Childe) and Vladmir (Pantalone) find out the grandmother is tryna find you and will reward whoever finds you. The two con men hold auditions to pretend to be princess Y/N, and then they see you, someone who looks JUST like princess Y/N and decide that you would pretend to be her.
-THE THING IS YOU ARE PRINCESS Y/N AND THEY DONT EBEN MNOW AND NOR DO YOU
-on the travel to paris, you get closer with Dimitri and on the travel, the wizard that called your family is trying to kill YOU so now your falling in love while someone is trying to kill you all while realizing who you are
-anyway so the casting
-dimitri as Childe obv
-Pantalone as Vladmir (his best bud)
-it makes sense because the both of them care abt money a lot so
-anyway I can just imagine you and Childe with that enemies to lovers and slow pining
-yk how he betrays the traveller in the game
-in the movie Dimitri SORTA betrays Anastasia cuz he wants the money for the reward
-but in this case, CHILDE, decides he jo longer wants the money and just wants YOU.
-Just ugh imagine you walking down the stairs in a gown and Childe can’t stop looking at you ajdnjendiejf
-like he acc has JAWS DROP
-literal drool running down his chin
-it’s not an official ballroom dance hut you two practice your dancing skills on a boat and your constantly stepping on his toes but he can’t get mad and he smiles at your giggles
-Pantalone notices and gives the idea to Childe that maybe instead of the money, he should just have you
-but Childe isn’t worthy of love, he’s a con man, and he needs the money.
-that is until he sees you walk in with that gown and LO AND BEHOLD HE IS IN LOVE LADIES
-you’re at an opera waiting for the chance to speak with ur grandmama and when Childe notices how nervous you are he just
“Everything’s gonna be fine.” He whispered, taking ahold of your fidgeting hand, his lips barely glazing over the knuckles covered by your white glove. he doesn’t make any move to let go through the whole opera.
- however once you realized he was only using you for the money, you get into a large fight with him and end up slapping him
-in the next few days once ur finally home and found your grandma, she invited Childe to table the money
-HOWEVER
“No money is worth of my love for her.”
so he doesn’t acc say that in the movie but I’m adding it here because he NEVER TOOK THE MONEY.
-a few days later at a ball in celebration for having you back,
-ur grandma tells you that Childe never took the money despite your thoughts and he realized he was speaking the truth; that at first he did this for the money, but then he wanted to do it for you.
-you leave to find Childe but of FUCKING COURSE THE WIZARD THAT KILLED YOUR FAMILY IS HERE
-Childe is there and honestly I’m not even gonna explain the fight but the wizard drowns and dies yayayayyaa
-he checks to make sure you’re okay and you’re not hurt after his ass saved u from the wizard multiple times and once he realizes that you’re okay and it’s over, he just smashes his lips against yours, so happy he finally has you.
-eventually you leave with Pantalone and Childe, going to travel the world once it was realized the princess life wasn’t suit for you.
-maybe it will soon, but now, you wanted to have all the time with Childe.
Cyno; Aladdin
“𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝. 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞?”
-guys
-HEAR ME OUT
-no shirt,
-both have some sort of animal love (Aladdin’s monkey and how cyno is lowkey in love with tighnari ANYWAY)
-he’s a respectful man
- he may be the general mahamatra but in another life he’s Aladdin, the hot thief. Completely opposite of what he actually is (except the hot part)
-so I’ll be worried if some of y’all don’t know the movie but I’m explaining it either way
-so aladdin aka Cyno is our lil village thief and you are the princess with a overprotective father who never lets you leave the castle.
-one day Cyno is up to his thieving yet on this same day you decide to escape the castle woohoo!
“Morning ladies!”
“Getting into trouble a little early today, aren’t we Cyno?” Nilou chuckled, her and Dehya looking at Cyno with a horrible disguise on.
“It’s only trouble if you’re caught!”
ur not rlly street smart since you’ve been cooped up in the castle so you take an apple to give to a kid who was eyeing it and you don’t even realize it’s sm1 selling it
“You better have a way of paying for that.” The man said, voice rough. “No one steals from my shop.”
“I’m sorry sir I don’t have any money-“
“THIEF!”
“I’m really sorry! I had no idea! I promise I’ll go to the king and get money!” You pleaded, trying to squirm away from the seller who had a harsh grip on your wrist.
“Do you know what the penalty is for stealing?!.” He yelled, his hand on your wrist pushing it down onto a surface and his free hand pulling out his sword that somehow came out of nowhere.
Just as you were about to scream, a random young man grabbed his hand. “Thank you kind sir I’m so glad you found her!” He smiled at the man before turning to you with a glare. “I’ve been looking all over for you!”
“What are you doing?” You whispered as he slowly pushed you away.
“Play along.” He whispered back
“You know her?” The man asked, forcing the two of you to stop inching away.
Cyno frowned and turned to the man. “Sadly, yes.” He let out an exaggerated sad sigh. “She is my sister. She’s a little crazy!”
The man didn’t take his words for the truth and grabbed him by the shoulders. “She said she knew the king!”
Cyno only chuckled, pushing the man’s hands off of him. “She thinks the king is the fox.”
He pointed down to a small fox- his pet fox.
Your eyes widened, quickly catching the idea as you bowed down to his fox friend. “Oh wise king!”
The fox was confused asf but he took the pride.
-you run together and you thank him but then GUARDS CHASE CYNO AND HE GETS ARRESTED WHATTTT but with your authority as princess you command to let him go and he’s free!
-he meets jafar (casting will be seen soon) and jafar takes him to some temple claiming he’ll pay him or some shit if he goes In and takes a certain bottle or wtv
-guys I’m iffy on this part of the story so dont bully me if I’m off
-right when cyno is about to take the bottle his stuoid PET TOUCHES SMTH AND THE WHOLE TEMPLE GOES ON LOCKDOWN WHILE HES IN THERE AND JAFAR THINKS HES DEAD SO HE TAKES THE BOTTLE FROM CYNO WHILE HE TRIES TO ESCAPE
-BUT
-cyno tricked him and NEVER GRABBED THE BOTTLE
-it takes cyno a while to realize while trapped in the temple that the bottle is acc a wish bottle
-he just randomly rubs it and POOF genie pops out and he wishes to get out the temple yayyy
-then he wishes to become a prince for all the money and also does it because he’s like in love with you despite seeing u once but you can only marry a prince
-what is this…JAFAR IS THE KINGS BSF AND HELPER?!?!?!
-jafar tries to frame cyno of corrupting the king blah blah jafar is evil then there’s a fight save the day smooch yeah
-okay onto casting
-the genie as KAVEHHHH
-they’re so similar if you think about it
-abu or the monkey friend as tighnari but he’s a little fox in this
-jafar as Azar (IT RHYMES)
-okay so cyno comes on a whole ass elephant claiming to be a prince and you can’t deny that he’s a lil fine
-you somehow don’t recognize the prince is the very man who saved you
-however ever since your first interaction with cyno In thé kingdom he has NOT STOPPD THINKNG AHT YOU
-before he wished to become a prince he was telling kaveh all about you
“There’s this girl. She’s smart and fun and-“
“And pretty?”
“Beautiful! She’s got the eyes and this hair- and her smile!”
-so yeah he’s vv much in love despite a one time interaction
-but love at first sight is real to him OKAY
-so to try and marry you he wishes to be a prince yet you don’t know the prince tryna marry you that you currently dislike is the MAN WHO SAVED YOU FORM THAT STREET VENDOR
-it’s not until one day when cyno has some RANDOM MAGIC CARPET flying while he’s on your balcony and he invites to take you around the world
-however on your balcony he notices your…pet
“You have a pet….tiger?”
-YOU GO ON THE CARPET WIRH HIM AND HE FLYS AROUND AND BRO WAS SERIOUS CUZ HE SHOWS YOU THE STARS AND EVERYTHING
-you realized once you finally got a good look at him and his hat was off that it was the same man who saved you in the streets.
-this is the one of first times you actually get to be away from the castle and it’s perfect because you’re FLYING on something and because it’s with him.
-let me tell you he gets jealous easily tho
-like he HATES the fact you had other suitors eyeing you up and shit like your his but not officially smh
-so final battle everhone is captured yeah yeah and azar wants to be king but to do so you must agree to marry him and ofc ur like hell no
-the thing is jafar is now in possession of the wish thing or wtv so now kaveh our lovely genie must grant all his wishes
-he’s about to wish for you to fall in love with him but Kaveh says he can’t do that then they get into an argument yeah yeah
-it’s not until you see cyno is free and tryna save you but you need to distract azar.
-so your idiotic self decides to seduce azar.
-yeah.
“I never realized how…incredibly handsome you are.”
-kaveh’s jaw LITERALLY DROPPED and azar shut it for him
“Oh really? Go on.”
absolutely disgusting cuz he’s just ew
“You’re tall…dark, well dressed…”
-kaveh is like genuinely disgusted at the scene in front of him
-but then he hears a sound and turns and ITS CYNO
-he almost screamed his name but cyno had to cover his mouth
-when Kaveh tells cyno he’s under Azar’s command he tries to get the wish bottle or wtv
-so you have to keep TALKING and lil sexy moves to distract azar
-cyno was also disgusted and he hated it sm but to save you he had to deal with it
“And what about that street rat?” Azar asked with a smirk.
You smirked back, walking closer to him and wrapping your arms around his neck. “What street rat?”
-cyno knew u weren’t serious but UGH he hated this
-however azars lil evil sidekick pet or wtv sees cyno and is abt to scream but then FOX TIGHNARI TO THE RESCUE
-however he did make a nose and just when azar was turning his head, you immediately put your hand at the back, forcing him to look at you and you smashed your lips against his
-NAH WHY U GOTTA DO THAY TO CYNO
-he forgot abt his whole plan for a second when he watched it all
-he lowk wished he was azar
-even tighnari stopped fighting and just stared shocked and kaveh’s jaw dropped
-BUR AZAR SEES CYNO IN THE REFLECTION OF UR CROWN AND THEN BATTLE STArts
-once it’s over cyno uses his final wish to free kaveh and Azar takes his place and now Azar is LONG GONEEEE
-however since kaveh is no longer the genie, all of cyno’s wishes are gone and he is no longer a prince and can’t marry you
-but YOUR DAD TO THE RESCUE!!
-he changes the law so you can marry cyno and he’s so happy he SPINS YOU AROUND AND KISSES YOU AJENFJEJJFS
-anyways you guys get married blah blah you’re finally free to make your own choices and both so so happy
Kazuha; Tangled.
“𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐬𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰. 𝐈𝐟 𝐬𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈'𝐦 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨.“
-HE IS SO FIT AS FLYNN
-cmon they’re both wanted and hot as fuck
-both have some amazing way with words
-so to explain the tangled story since I’m a lil scared some of y’all don’t know.
-if you guys have never watched tangled go watch it pls
-so for quick summary your born a princess obv but some crazy lady steals you as a baby and takes you far far away because apparently the mom ate a magic flower and the magic in the flower came to YOU
-so for the crazy lady who took you, she only did because she needs the magic to continue living
-so because you were literally 1 year old you think crazy lady is your mother as she takes you to a far far away tower and traps you there for almost 2 decades
-you’re hair is like 30 metres long somehow
-oh yeah the magic is in your hair and if you cut it the magic is gone so!!
-anyway one day ur mom is out blah blah and it’s your birthday blah blah and on your birthday there are these floating lanterns at the palace and you REALLY WANNA GO but ofc crazy mama says no
-but then some random hot guy comes through the tower window and because he’s a stranger and you’ve never seen anyone besides your mom you hit him with a pan and he goes unconscious
-he wakes up tied to a chair by YOUR HAIR.
“Uh, I’m sorry, is this hair?”
-you ask him what he wants and tbh I don’t remember the story but you make him take you to the lanterns or lights or wtv and he’s like yk what? Sure
-OH NOW I REMMEBER
-okay so he stole a crown from the palace
-and he found your tower to hide in it and when he went unconscious you stole the bag that had the crown
-so you say if he wants it back he has to take you and he’s like bet
-the dude can only stare as you go through a whole episode of feeling grass for the first time in your life but also regretting leaving your tower because your mom will be so mad when you get back but at the same time you’re finally free yet-
-this happens for an hour.
-eventually he has to reassure you he’ll bring you back
-uhm thing is he tried to steal the crown from you though so he was gonna send you to a tavern filled with scary men and lowk leave you there
-ofc though since you’re so cute all the scary men in the tavern start doing karaoke with you
-I got a dream she’s got a dream dududududuudd
-BUT
-CASTLE GUARDS COME
-Kazuha grabs your hand and goes into this like hidden tunnel under the tavern and there’s like this whole fight scene thing
-you guys get trapped in a cave that’s blocked and there’s water coming in
-Kazuha CANT find a way out cuz it’s too dark
-BUT WAIT
-U HAVE MAGIC HAIR!!!
-that also glows…
-Kazuha is the definition of WTF when u just start singing a lullaby or wtv and ur hair starts GLOWING?
-nevertheless he’s able to see and he finds a way out of the cave
-however that night you didn’t know your mama was currently looking for you…
-and there were 2 people Kazuha pissed off (two random men I don’t have names) who he actually stole the crown with and then ran away from them
-you also forgot you left the crown
-in the tower
-with your mom
-yeah
-she suggests revenge on Kazuha and boy did the two men smile at that
-that night Kazuha had a large gash in his palm from getting you guys out the cave and you ofc have to use your hair to heal it
“You’re being strangely cryptic as you wrap your…magic hair around my injured hand.”
He winces when you grip onto his wrist too tight snd you grimace. “Sorry! Just…don’t freak out please?”
-for you he didn’t
-however…
-once u sing ur lullaby he tries his best not to freak out he stares at his now completely healed hand with large eyes and thinks that something is gonna happen to him
-btw you’re both in a forest around a fire cuz it’s obv ur not gonna make it to the kingdom that day and have nowhere to sleep but you’re ofc gonna go tomorrow
-you guys open up to each other last night and Kazuha was shocked that he felt so relieved to open up to someone he met just 18 hours ago
-when he leaves to get firewood though…
-MAMA IS HERE!!
“How did you find me?!” You ask, sputtering as your mom pulls you into a hug.
“I just listened to the sound of complete and utter betrayal and followed it! We’re going home, now.” Her soft and sarcastic voice turned into a harsh one as she gripped your wrist, trying to make you follow her.
You fought back. “What? Mom, you don’t understand- I’ve been on this Incredible journey and I’ve seen and learned so much! I even met someone…” you whispered the last sentence with a smile.
She scoffed before the sarcastic voice came back. “Yes, the wanted man. I’m so proud! Now come on.” It quickly turned harsh again and she pulled your wrist but you kept your ground.
“I think…I think he likes me!”
“Likes you? Please Y/N that’s demented!”
“But mother I-“
“This is why you never should’ve left! This romance you think is not real. It proves you’re too naive for this world. You think he likes you? Look at you! He’s not even impressed.” She stood a few feet away, arms out as if she was expecting you to hug her. “Don’t be a dummy, come with mummy. Mother knows bes-“
“No!”
She stares at you bewildered. “No? I see what this is now. Oh Y/N knows best! She’s so mature now! If you really believe he likes you, go ahead and give him this!” She pulls out the bag that had the crown in it.
Your eyes widened. “How did you even-?”
She holds the crown out, cutting you off. “This is why he’s here! Don’t let him deceive you, give the crown to him then you’ll see.”
“I will.”
“Trust me, dear.” She did a quick snap. “That’s how fast he’ll leave you. I won’t say I told you so, because apparently Y/N knows best! So if he’s such a dream boat, put him too the test.”
“Mother, wait-“
“If he’s lying, don’t come crying. Your mother always knows best.” And in an instant, she’s disappeared into the night fog, and you can only stare in shock.
You overhear Kazuha coming back and you quickly hide the crown in the bag and then hide the bag behind a nearby tree
“Are you all right?” Kazuha asks, looking at your back as you were turned away from him.
You out on a fake smile, instantly turning. “Yep! Just lost in thought.”
He doesn’t suspect anhtning and nods, going on about whatever topic, and you constantly find yourself glancing back at the tree
-you both go to sleep later and he’s such a gentlemen he gets you smth comfy to put your head on and he takes a rock.
-such a gentleman ugh
-however
-when he wakes up
-there’s a gigantic castle tanuki guard growling right above him and he realizes he’s fucked
-you wake up to screaming and somehow this TANUKI is DRAGGING Kazuha across the ground since his boot was in its foot
-you went to grab Kazuha’s hand, pulling on it and you obv win but the tanuki ends up taking Kazuha’s boot
-you tell the tanuki to sit and then call her a good girl and her baby tail starts wagging as if it’s an actual dog and Kazuha can only be like what the fuck
“You must be so tired from chasing this bad guy for days!” You say in a baby voice, scratching the Tanuki’s head and she nods.
“She’s a bad tanuki! Bad!”
“She’s just a big sweetheart!” You look at the dollar, smiling at the name. “Aren’t you Sayu?”
She, despite being a tanuki who shouldn’t understand anything, is currently nodding her head.
“Look, today is the biggest day of my life- it’s my birthday. And you can’t take Kazuha because he’s taking me to see the lights and it’s all I ever wanted to see! So, can you please not drag him to the castle and get him arrested?”
The tanuki somehow scoffed
“Just for 24 hours then you can chase each other to your hearts contents, okay?” You ask, watching as the animal and the full on adult glare at each other.
Kazuha scoffs along with the Tanuki huffing. “Fine.” He puts his hand out and Sayu hesitantly SOMEHOW shakes it, but makes no move to let go.
You walk away when you hear the kingdom bells, signalling the festival is gonna start, and when you walk away you don’t even realize or see the Tanuki punch Kazuha in the chest.
-so you’re both finally in the kingdom and of course you’re both hiding but now he feels like he kinda needs to make sure you’re okay because he was just gonna leave you there but you kinda saved him when running away from the guards
-also the tanuki is now glaring at him and watching his every move so he can’t leave you
-you also saved him when the scary men in the tavern tried to kill them but then you hit one of with your famous pan and karaoke starts
-he did originally plan to do that but after last night he lowk started liking you and realized you were too sweet and he wanted to make your special day happy
-each time you two- well three now- walk by a poster with his drawn out face, he grabs it and crumples it. Only so no one knows it’s him and because they made his nose look HIDEOUS on it
-when he crumples it he hears the tanuki/ sayu/ yell and he just throws it at her.
-then she throws it back
-you had to yell at them to stop
-so the only concern is your hair as a bunch of people step on it and it’s a VERY crowded kingdom
-he grabs handfuls of it so no one steps on it and no one gets suspicious
-town square though there’s 4 little girls who literally LIGHT UP at the sight of your hair and they braid pieces of it then braid it again so it stays short
-short is down to your feet btw
-when Kazuha looks he has to admit your really fucking pretty
-like he can stop staring and he’s finally out of it when the tanuki is SMIRKING at him and laughing her ass off
-he grabs a nearby flower and puts it right above your ear
-he’s a thief so he steals SOME snacks for you guys and he might buy a gift
-he even buys you a cloth of the kingdom symbol- a sun.
-^ keep that in mind guys
-he realizes he lowkey likes you despite knowing u for one day??
-but you’re so interesting and beautiful and he won’t say it’s love but there’s def smth he has for you
-when he’s abt to buy you guys some stuff you notice on the wall surrounding the castle there is an old painting
-it’s the queen and king and they’re holding a baby
-and it lowkey looks like you?
“It’s for the lost princess.” A little girl said, putting a flower down beside the wall and you realized there were multiple flowers everywhere.
-the eyes, the hair…everything
-she looks just like you!
-but you hear a band go by and you start following them and after Kazuha bought your shit he turns around and he’s like “where the fuck is she”
-he sees you dancing with a little boy and then you start to gather in more people to dance
-you encourage him to come dance and he says no but then Sayu pushes him
-sadly he can’t dance with you as multiple people take his arm and twirl around with him :(
-he really liked seeing you dance though
-not ballroom dancing but more of that jumpey old time dancing
-he wants to do whatever YOU want to do but you guys do have to hide a few times when guards walk by but your always giggling your asses off
-the man takes you to the public library and shows you books you’ve never read before after constantly rereading books in your tower
-HES SO SWEETBRO WJNDJEJF
-the two of you end up dancing again for hours like all the way until sunset and he FINALLY gets the chance to dance with you
-he’s jumping and twirling with you and then you’re pushed together by the locals and you’re really close and he’s holding onto you and ughwkfnwkndns
-but before anything can happen someone yells “to the boats!” and you realize the sun is starting to come down, MEANING THE LANTERNS ARE COMING!!
-he literally grabbed your hand and ran you over to a boat before everyone could score one
-while he’s pushing the boat away from the dock, Sayu is on it glaring at him, as if telling him not to do anything and he only smiles
-he ends up throwing a bag of apples and she stares hesitantly at them then him
“I bought them!” He yelled, and Sayu instantly started eating the apples.
“Most of them.” He chuckled, and Sayu glared again at him again.
“Where are we going?” You asked
“It’s the best day of your life. I figured you should have the best view for the best day.” He smiled.
-he takes you all the way to a spot on the ocean near the castle that was on the edge of the cliff
-it wasn’t too near that all you could see was that but the shape was for sure visible
-he noticed you’re off again and when he asks if your okay, you admit your terrified
-you explain that you’ve been looking forward to these lights for so many years after seeing them from your tower, dreaming about what it might feel like when those lights rise in the sky, but what if it’s not everything you dreamed to be?
-he can only stare at you, reassure you that it will be amazing
”but what if it is amazing? Then what will I do?”
“You find a new dream.” He shrugs. “That’s the good part, I guess.”
-little do you know in the castle your dad is crying because he can’t see his baby and he’s so sad because he genuinely thinks your dead
-his first daughter is gone :(
-acc ur about to make out with a thief on a boat but wtv
-the king and queen are always the first to let their lanterns float, and once everyone sees the lanterns they let their own go
-you always thought it was a festival, which it was, but in reality it was a tribute to the dead princess AKA YOU but your not even dead you just don’t know
-ur a lil dumb cuz how do you think it’s normal every year on your birthday there’s these lanterns and then you see the LOST ORINCESS BABY painting which looks JUST LIKE YOU
-also keep in mind on every lantern there is a sun symbol on it
-the sun symbol is a necklace your dad also has
-I’m sorry I love the dad sm when he started crying in the movie I wanted to cry
-back to you
-you notice the light reflection in the water and when you look up, all the lanterns start to fly up all across the kingdom and far into the water
-when you saw the light you started SCRAMBLING on the boat and you almost tipped the whole boat over and were prob gonna drown again but wtv
-now comes in that song if you wanna go listen to it it’s called “I see the light” or some shit go listen to it with the video it’s so good ugh
-^ onky if you’ve never watched it or just feel like watching it again
-Kazuha looks at you, illuminated by the lanterns and how you look up at them
-you turn to look at him and he’s holding two lanterns, one for you and one for him
-he claims he got it as a gift for you and you sit back down in front of him
-you pull the bag out of NOWHERE don’t ask it’s some magic type shit, saying you should’ve given it to him before blah blah
“I should’ve given it to you before but I was just…” You paused, letting out a sigh. “I was just scared. And the thing is, I’m not scared anymore. Do you get what I mean?”
He smiles, putting his hand in the bag, but not to grab it, and instead pushes it down into your lap, showing he doesn’t want it anymore. “‘Im starting to.”
-HE AND FLYNN RIDER ARE SO FINE UGH WIFNJEJFJSJDJSJF
-IN REWAYCHING THE MOVIE RN AND WHEN HE SAYS THAT JUST UGH
-LITWRAL BUTTERFLIES
-all those days he’s chased down daydreams or living in a blur- all that time he never truly saw things the way they were
-but now you’re here, just watching the lanterns with the most beautiful eyes
-now you’re here and suddenly he knows
-if you’re here, it’s crystal clear, he’s where he’s meant to go.
-he like holds onto your hand
-it’s warm, real and bright, and everything with you is like the world has somehow shifted
-all at once, everything is different, now that the both of you see each other clearly.
-he puts a loose strand of hair behind your ear and he cups your cheek but then smth happens
-he’s about to kiss you but on the main land he notices the two men he stole the crown with
-he looks back at the bag and he takes you back to the mainland, he leaves you on the boat with the bag and claims he has something to take care of
-you just nod, believing him because you’re literally in love
-he feels so bad for lying but he just doesn’t want you to get hurt :(
-he keeps claiming he’ll be back as he walks away, and you tell yourself it’s alright
-so away from your sight he meets up with the two men and they’re GLARING at him while one is sharpening a dagger
-we’ll call him dumbo 1
-he throws the bag to them and he’s about to leave but then he doesn’t notice dumbo 2 is right behind him and he bumps into him
“Leaving again huh? Kaedehara?” Dumbo 1 chuckled, standing up from the rock he was sitting on.
He turned back to look at him. “What?”
“We heard you found something more valuable than a crown.” He said, walking towards him until they wereface to face.
“We want her instead.”
-WELL FUCK
-okay back to you
-you’re starting to get worried because he’s been gone for a while
-but then you notice the shape of a man in the fog and you’re happy!’
“I was starting to think you ran off with the crown and left me!”
-however behind the one man instead came a second, and you realized that was NOT Kazuha
-panic started to settle In you
“He did.” One of the men said.
“What? No- he wouldn’t!”
“See for yourself.” The other smirked, and he pointed to the sea.
You stared confused but walked closer to the water, only to see Kazuha leaving on a boat with the bag.
“Kazuha!” You yelled, but he didn’t look back.
One of the men circled you, touching your braid. “A fair trade. A crown for the girl with the magic hair.”
You gasped
“How much do you think someone would pay to stay young and healthy forever. That’s what your hair does, correct?” The other said.
“No, no!” You started to back away, pleading the men after one of them pulled a dagger out with those large backs people usually…bag you with.
You started running, losing sight of the two, but your braid gets caught onto a branch and you struggle to let it go.
However, you hear sounds of grunts and struggles and you hear you mothers voice. “Y/N!?”
“Mother?” You ran back to the spot once your braid was free, to see the two men passed out on the ground and your mother standing beneath them.
-she starts to claim she was so worried, literally on the verge of tears
-you start crying and run into her arms and when you ask how she knew where you were she said she followed you
-she tells you to leave but you find yourself looking back at the boat Kazuha was on, trying not to cry
-you turn back ti see your mom staring at you with her arms out, and you can’t help but run into her arms and cry, claiming she was right the whole time
-however little did you know it was all fake.
-your mother originally payed the men if they could act like they were actually going to take you so she could bring you back home so she could live
-idk if I mentioned but your hair keeps her alive wtv
-Kazuha was on the boat, but he was actually tied and the two men pushed the boat to make sure it would go to the docks of the kingdom
-he wakes up when the boats hit the docks and he’s yelling out your name and doesn’t realize the current predicament
-the crown is tied to his hand
-the 2 ken wanted their revenge so they decided to put him in and the mother paid em for it
-while he’s being arrested, sayu could only watch with concern
-even while hes being arrested HES still yelling your name
-sayu looks back at the island you were both previously on and now she’s worried as fuck
-so the next day he’s in the dungeon blah blah and then the guards take him to get executed
-that same day for you, you’re back in the tower and your mom let the braids out and all the flowers too
-even the one Kazuha put in your hair
-but you don’t say anything, frowning the whole time
-the girl kinda guilt trips you, saying she tried to warn you and you’re just too naive for this selfish world and then she leaves you in your room alone
-you look at the cloth Kazuha gave you which was crumpled up in your hands and you just stare at the sun symbol on it
-you lay down onto your bed, looking at the ceiling
-but then you realize that all these years trapped in a tower, you’ve painted and drawn on every wall and ceiling of the tower
-you’ve drawn stuff you’ve never seen before but was always in the back of your head
-such as the kingdoms sun symbol
-you look back at the cliff then back at the ceiling anf sit up, trying to get a better look at it
-you have this like hallucination where every sun symbol starts to glow on the ceiling
-and then you get this vision back to the painting on the wall and realize
-your the lost princess
-okay back to Kazuha
-while the guards are walking him through the dungeons he noticed the SAME TWO MEN
-he runs from the guards and grips onto the collar of one of them, yelling and asking where the hell are you
-the one that was grabbed claimed he didn’t know and that some old lady arrested them and shit
-before he could ask the guards grab him again
-OKAY BACK TO YOU
-you walk out the room and ask your mom if uour thé lost princess
-she tells you don’t be ridiculous but your not having it
-but you know the truth and yell “I’m the lost princess!”
-she only stared at you with large eyes before she glared
“Everything I did was to protect you.”
You pushed her, walking down the stairs away from her. Your pushed caused her to fall into a mirror, all the pieces shattering underneath her. “For the last two decades I’ve been forced to hide away from the world, but I should’ve been hiding from you!”
“And where would you even go?!” She scoffed. “He won’t be there for you. That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes.”
Your eyes widened with a gasp, and she tries to comfort you but you grab her wrist tightly. “No. You were wrong about the world. Wrong about me! And I will NEVER let you use my hair AGAIN!”
“You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. I’ll be the bad guy.”
-BAXK TO MAZUHA
-right when they’re about to take Kazuha into the room where he’s gonna get hanged
-all the doors suddenly close around them
-the main guard just scoffed, banging on the door. “What’s the meaning of this!”
-the little shuttle piece on the door opened with a slide, and Kazuha’s eyes widened to see one of the men from the tavern where you sang karaoke with them
-“what’s the password?”
-“What?!”
-“that’s not it!”
-“OPEN THIS DOOR!”
-“not even close!”
-“you have three seconds!”
-when he starts counting down he doesn’t even realize all the doors that were previously locked suddenly opened at the rest of the men from the tavern grabbed the guards holding Kazuha
-the men from the tavern are the crux ppl btw
-the main guard looks back and he’s like wtf but then BEIDOU THE OWNER IF THE TAVERN AKA BEST LADY smacks him with a frying pan and sends him to the ground unconscious
-who knew frying pans were such an efficient way to make someone go unconscious?
-more guards come running in and Beidou grabs Kazuha’s hand, rushing him out while the others distracted the guards
-once out, a horde of guards are running towards him and he’s like oh shit
-Beidou picks him up and placed him onto something, telling him instructions
“Head down, arms in, knees apart.”
He repeated her words with every motion, but then looked at her confused “knees apart?”
Beidou only smirks and he doesn’t even realize he’s on some sort of catapult until one of the larger crux members jumps down onto the other side and Kazuha goes FLYING
The guards only stare
-he ends up landing on SAYU
-somehow she can carry him?
-he literally thanked Sayu for bringing the guards and then Sayu JUMOS OFF THR DUNGEON WALLS and there’s this whole scene of a TANUKI running like a horse thays jumping off of roof tops and then Sayu brings him to your tower
-don’t ask how she knows where it is idk
-he starts calling you, yelling your name. “Y/N! Let down your hair!”
-yes they use your hair to get into the tower don’t ask
-when you don’t respond he starts climbing the walls and then he hears the window open and he’s like oh my god!!
-ur hair comes out he climbs it yeah yeah and goes I to the tower
-“Y/N! I thought I’d never see you again!” However, his words are cut short when he sees you tied up, tape over your mouth and your trying to yell something
-he stares shocked and then he feels this horrible pain and your mom STABBED HIM FROM BEHIND and he falls to the ground bleeding out yeah yeah
-you try to go towards him but your ‘mom’ is holding onto a chain forcing you to her
-yes a chain.
-don’t ask.
-she wants to take you far away so no one ever finds you again
-the tape falls off your mouth and you yell. “No! I won’t stop, and I will never stop trying to get away from you!” You panted. “But I will go with you if you let me heal him. Please?”
His eyes widened, all while groaning and trying to stop the blood. “Y/N! No!”
-she ends up agreeing and unchains you, but then chains Kazuha do he doesn’t get any ideas of following you
-you immediately ran to him, eyes widening at the blood
-I’m realizing out of all the Disney scenes I’ve wrote this is the only fight scene I’m actualky writing
“Y/N. You can’t do this.” He panted. “I can’t let you die with her.
“But if you do, then you will die.” You whispered with a frown, cupping his cheek. “Hey. It’s gonna be alright.”
“Y/N.” He whispered, his chained hand coming to cup your cheek as he leaned closer, but what you didn’t realize is that he had grabbed a broken shard from the mirror you pushed your mother into, and he reached behind and immediately cut your hair
Your mom screamed and your eyes widened, your hair colour going a tad bit darker than it used to be. The now cut hair did the same thing.
The mother was screaming and she realized that all the affects your magic had on her was starting to ware off/ she was becoming old. Her hands went pale and slender, as if she was a zombie.
And then she faded into dust.
You couldn’t care less.
“Kazuha!” You yell, shaking him as his eyes started to close. You brought his hand to your hair, reciting the lullaby but nothing happened.
“Hey.” He whispered. “You were my new dream.” He said weakly.
You chuckled sadly. “And you were mine.”
With that, he smiled, and let out a final exhale as he went limp in your arms.
-you started BALLING your eyes out right there and then; reciting the lullaby over and over again for anything , but there was never anything and he stayed dead.
-you were sobbing over him, a tear falling into his cheek.
-however
-the tear started to glow and then his wound started to glow and he was STARTING TO HEAL?!
-the glow slowly faded and with it going away, HE CANE BACK TO LIFR WITH A LARHE ASS GASP
-ofc after dying the first thing he said is your name
“Have I ever told you I got a think for H/C?” He asked, looking at the darker colour of your previous hair shade.
You chuckled and immediately wrapped your arms around him, now sitting on his thigh.
He hugged you tight and before he knows it, your smashing your lips against his.
-okay I’m gonna be quick with this now
-so he takes you back to the castle and then guard runs into your real parents room, claiming you were found
-they instantly start RUNNING to a balcony and see you with Kazuha
-anyway there’s a reunion, hugs tears blah blah whatever would happen after 2 decades of not seeing each other.
-Kazuha onky smiled over the whole thing and then YOUR MOM PULLED HIM INTO THE HUG
-the kingdom rejoiced for their lost princess had returned and the party lasted for a week
-Kazuha hardly remmebered anything that happened
-the crux members eventually had their dreams come true and got jobs in the kingdom
-thanks to Sayu, crime disappeared overnight ad bf so did most of the apples
-at last you were home and finally had a real family and you were a princess worth waiting for
-everh now and then whenever your out Kazuha woullf take the crown off your head and hide it but you always knew and he’d place it back on your head with a giggle
-a few years later he finally placed a ring on that finger and you lived happily ever after
-he also had all charges dropped against him too so he was no longer a thief!
-off topic fun fact; Originally instead of Kazuha it was gonna be Kaeya but then I acc thought of Kaeya as thé prince from the Swan Princess so I’ll have him in another post
Alhaitham; Frozen
-so we all know frozen is focused on Elsa but for the love story we’re focusing on just you
-so for this you will choose who you want your older sister to be
-whoever has a Cryo vision or a lady u wanna choose and make them have ice powers but wtv
-so basically the story starts out with 8 year old you waking up your sister 10 year old sister
-and your bored
-she tells you to go back to sleep but then you ask if she wants to build a snowman.
-sister has ice powers yayaya she can also make snow
-one day while your jumping shes making snow pillars but you go to fast and she slips on ice and accidentally uses her ice powers and hits your head
-you pass out and she’s crying calling your parents
-they take you to a small area away from the kingdom and.
-it’s mushrooms.
-you know nahida’s mushroom besties or the ones we see around sumeru thay pop up and disappear
-yeah those r the trolls from frozen
-nahida is human but she lives with them
-she tells ur dad that you need to forget your sister if you wanna live because if she hits you again you can die
-she replaces all memories of sister creating snow or ice and replaced them with natural snow and ice and the two of you together so the fun stays
-no one can know of her magic so all do the staff was reduced in the castle, the gates and windows were always closed, and Elsa has NEVER been outside since
-so basically for the next decade your sister doesn’t talk to you, and your always outside your door asking her if she wants to go in the snow and build a snowman but she tells you to go away
-however during this decade her powers got stronger
-it’s not until your 18 when your parents leave for a trip over seas
-sadly their ship goes down and they die
-your sisyer doesn’t even show up to the funeral
-so three years later your sister is finally of age to become queen and it’s coronation day!
-all the gates open and you’re finally outside
-what if you meet your future lover at the coronation?
-well one thing for sure you met someone you liked but not at coronation…
-you almost fall into a boat but someone catches you however he falls on top of you
-your both apologizing and then he finally introduced himself
“I’m prince Childe of Snezhnaya!”
-of course you bump into a prince
-even though ur a princess but wtv
-you end up running cuz you gots go to the coronation and you see him later though
-this is the first time you’ve ever actually seen your sister in the last decade and also the first time you’ve talked to her
-it’s vv awkward but you start bonding over chocolate
-eventually some random asks you to dance and he’s so bad at dancing that your sister is cackling while watching
-eventually sm1 else takes your hand and it’s Childe!! he twirls you around and shit yk the usual ballroom dancing
-okay fast forward somehow you two fell in love don’t ask
-like you do tell each other everything and he reveals he has 10 siblings and he’s the youngest
-4 sisters and 6 brothers
-he asks if you’ll marry him despite knowing each other for 5 hours and your like oh my god yes!!!!
-when you ask your sister for permission she’s like no cuz SHES SMART
-you get mad and cause a scene and you grab your hand and you pull her glove off accidentally
-she loses control and ice magic goes woosh
-fast forward she runs away
-I’m acc so tired and wanna get this post done with I’m sorry if this is rushed but it’s short cuz the main focus isn’t even supposed to be you
-your sister runs away and with her magic she causes an eternal winter IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER.
-you chase after her into the woods and little do you know after her whole “let it go” episode she created a whole castle out of ICE.
-I still wonder what she slept on.
-uhm so you leave prince Childe in charge of the king on of sumeru while you find your sister
-your horse runs away from you cuz bro knows he don’t want this bs rn
-your literally in a dress which makes this sm worse because now it’s like Snezhnaya and there’s sm it goes up to your knees
-you do find a shop though in the middle of nowhere at night and ask if they have any winter shit
-the owner points you to their collection and there’s just the stuff you need so yay!
-just when your about to buy it, someone walks in covered in snow and good lord he’s tall.
-he walks up to you and mumbled something but you can hardly hear with the mask over his face
“Huh?” You asked.
He leaned in closer, “behind you.”
You looked behind you to see carrots on the table where the owner was and quickly apologized, moving for him.
He grabbed the carrots then moved to grab a rope and pick axe.
“Where’s all this snow coming from?” The worker, Cyno, asked, looking at the man covered in snow.
“The North mountain.” He responded, placing down the stuff on the table.
“North mountain.” You whispered to yourself.
“That’ll be 40.” Cyno said.
The man scoffed. “40? No 10.”
“Apologies, but 10 is a big problem.”
“You wanna talk about problems? I sell ice for a living.” He pointed to a window and you saw a large sled with a bunch of ice on it.
You winced. “Not the best job.”
He glared at you and you shut your mouth, but only for a second until you started asking questions about the mountain and what he saw. “Did it seem magical?”
His glare stayed but he removed his mask to speak clearer. “Yes. Now back up while I deal with this crook here.”
“Crook?” Cyno repeated, standing up, and the man realized he was fucked- especially when he was thrown out of the shop.
-you ended up buying his stuff for him, and when he asked why, you told him to bring you up the North mountain
-and because you were kind enough ti buy his stuff after being thrown out, he decided to take you
-he owns a pet moose named tighnari.
-it’s funny how all the pet side kicks are named Tighnari in this post
-so while you’re on the sled thingy or whatever, he’s asking you what made the queen go all crazy
“So uh tell me. What made the queen go all ice crazy?” He asked, letting Tighnari guide the sled mobile.
You chuckled yet grimaced. “Uh..it was all my fault. I got engaged but she’d only just freak out because I met him that same day. And she said she wouldn’t bless the marriage and-“
“Wait,” he cut you off, blinking before continuing. “You got engaged to someone you just met on that day?”
“Yeah! Anyway I got mad and then she got mad and then-“
He turned his body to look at you, still confused. “Hang on! You mean to tell me you got engaged to someone you JUST met THAT DAY?”
“Yes! Pay attention. But the thing is she ALWAYS had the gloves on and I thought it was a thing about dirt!”
“Didn’t your parents ever warn you about strangers?!”
You blinked, before slowly letting out a “Yes” as you scooted away from him.
He just trolled his eyes
“But Childe is not a stranger!”
“Childe?!” He burst out laughing. “That’s an Incredulous name. If he’s not a stranger, what’s his last name?”
“….of Snezhnaya.”
He scoffed. “Favourite food?”
“….Raw fish.”
“Good lord- you’re marrying a man who eats raw fish as his favourite food? How in the world are you a princess!?”
“Hey!”
“Best friends name?”
“HAH I KNOW THIS ONE! Scaramouche!”
“Snezhnaya’a got some weird names.” He chuckled with a shake of his head. “Eye colour?”
“Dreamy.”
“Foot size?”
“Foot size doesn’t matter!”
“Have you had a meal with him yet? What if you hate the way he eats? What if you hate the way he picks his nose?”
“Picks his nose?!” You repeated, bewildered.
“And eats it.”
“Excuse me sir he is a prince!”
The man only smirked before looking away with a shrug. “All men do it.”
“Ew! Look it doesn’t matter! It’s true love.”
“Doesn’t sound like true love.” The shit eating grin on his face never left.
“What are You some sort of love expert?” You scoffed.
“No, but I have friends who are.”
“You havé friends who are love experts? I’m not buying it.” You didn’t notice the way the sled came to a stop and Tighnari was looking around frantically along with the man.
“Stop talking.”
“Nonono I’d like to meet-“ you were cut off with his hand over your mouth.
“Shh.” He stood up, holding a lantern up to get a better look around. He turned, squinting into a certain area of the woods and then wolves started to show.
“Shit.” He breathed out before immediately yelling at Tighnari to move.
“What is it?” You asked, fear speaking in you.
“Wolves.” He spoke while lighting a torch.
“What do i do?”
“Nothing.” He threw the now lit up torch at the wolves. “Just don’t get eaten.”
“But I wanna help!”
“No!”
“Why not?”
“Because I don’t trust your judgement.”
You let out the most exaggerated gasp. “Excuse me?”
He pushed you back a bit to kick a wolf that caught up. “Who marries a man they just met?!”
“It’s called true love!” You yelled, grabbing a random ukulele from the back of the sled and swinging it over his head to hit a wolf that jumped up.
“Woah!” He smirked, before a wolf bit onto his boot and dragged him off the sled but he quickly grabbed a rope that was tied to it.
“If i die my name is Alhaitham for my funeral!” He yelled.
You grabbed a wooden stick to light up, turning it into a torch before you lit up something random at the back of the sled. “Al, duck!”
“It’s ALHAITHAM!” He yelled, but did as you said when he saw you throw whatever the hell was in your hands that was on fire
He started to climb the rope back onto the sled. “You almost killed me!”
“But I didn’t!”
His eyes widened and you turned to see a cliff coming up.
“Jump Tighnari!”
“You don’t tell him what to do, I do!” He spoke while grabbing you, practically man handling you as he threw you onto Tighnari. Just as the cliff came up, he cut the rope connecting his moose firmed to the sled, prioritizing your safety over his as he jumped off the sled and PRAYED he would make it.
-he gripped onto the edge of the cliff, looking down to see his sweet sled on fire.
-he just bought that!
-he started to slip but you grabbed his hand and pulled him back up
-you promised you’d buy him a new one later
-you also told him you understand if he doesn’t wanna help you anymore and you started to leave
-in full honestly Alhaitham coukd care less if you died in the woods
-but you promised a new sled and if you die he won’t get it so he does follow after you
- anyway you spend the whole night tryna get through the woods and the whole time you just hoped your sister would be able to remove this eternal winter
-in the morning you start to realize how beautiful the snow and the hanging ice looks
“Who knew winter could be so beautiful?”
“Yeah!”
You and Alhaitham both looked at each other confused when you heard a new voice, and for a second then both of you thought it was Tighnari talking.
“It’s so fun! There should be some colour! Like crimson or yellow- actually yellow is just bad.” The voice became louder with each word and suddenly standing between the two of you was a talking snowman.
You screamed, immediately kicking it and it’s head flew off and landed in Alhaitham’s arms. “You’re creepy.” He said, throwing it back to you but then you threw it back to him and the continuation of it.
The body started walking towards you and you threw the head at it, sending it into the snow.
He stood up, his head upside down. “What am I looking at? Why are you hanging like bats?”
You inched your way closer to it, fixing it’s head.
“Oh thank you! Now I’m perfect.”
“Almost,” You chuckled, realizing this was a harmless snowman. You looked through Alhaitham’s bag before grabbing a carrot, making its nose.
“Okay, let’s start this thing over, hi everyone, I’m Kaveh!”
“You creep me out.” Alhaitham chuckled, kneeling down to his level.
You blinked. “Kaveh?”
“Hi.”
“That’s right! Kaveh!”
“And you are…?”
“Y/N!”
“Who’s the funky looking donkey over there?” He turned to Tighnari and Alhaitham standing beside each other- well moose tighnari.
“That’s Tighnari!”
“And who’s the moose?”
Alhaitham glared and you burst out into laughter. “…Tighnari.”
“Got it!” He screamed when Tighnari tried to eat his carrot nose.
“Kaveh.” You called and he turned to you.
“Did S/N build you?”
“Yeah, Why?” He asked, not caring that Alhaitham pulled out his stick arm, analyzing it.
“Do you know where she is?”
“Yeah, Why?”
“Can you take us to her?”
“Yeah, Why!”
“We need her to bring back summer.” Alhaitham spoke for you, putting the arm back into Kaveh’s snow body.
Kaveh let out a squeak. “I love summer! The sun, and how hot it is!”
“Really?” Alhaitham grinned. “I guess you don’t have much experience with heat.”
“Nope! But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine.
Suddenly, he started singing and dancing and you and Alhaitham just stared.
“My snow up against the gorgeous sand probably getting a good old tan in SUMMERRR~~”
Alhaitham crossed his arms over his chest, smirking. “I’m gonna tell him.”
You gasped, hitting him. “Don’t you dare!”
“Somebody’s gotta tell him!”
-so he’s supposed to melt in summer and ofc Alhaitham wants to ruin his dream of summer
-back in sumeru kingdom Childe finds your horse running back but your not on it and he thinks you’re in danger
-so he sets out with his guards to find you
-anyway back to you
-Alhaitham is asking you what your gonna say to your sister and you reveal you had no idea
-kaveh goes on about how sweet your sister is and he doesn’t even realize he’s walking right into an icicle
-“oh look, I’ve been Impaled.”
-your all faced with a cliff and you try climbing it but Alhaitham Is telling you that your gonna kill yourself
-like anywhere you put your foot down he’ll say “I wouldn’t put it there!” And HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT
-then kaveh finds an ice staircase and you jump off, Alhaitham catching you in his hands
-he could only smile as you ran off
-“holy shit.” The two of you breathed out, looking at the castle
-“now THAT is ice. I think I might cry.”
-sadly Tighnari cannot climb the stairs because of his hooves
-at the door if the castle your hesitant and kaveh kept telling you to knock but your scared and he’s like “does she not know how to knock?”
-but the door opened automatically so wtv
“You probably shouldn’t come in.” You told him and he whined.
“What? Why not! It’s a palace of ice!”
“Last time I brought a guy she caused an eternal winter.”
“Good point.”
“You too, Kaveh.”
“NOOOOOOO”
-making your way into the castle your like holy shir begause it’s all ICE but it’s so beautiful
-your lwokey slipping a lot too
-your sister comes out and is like why tf r u here
-and your just complimenting the ice castle and you apologize for everything that happened
-she tells you it’s alright and you should leave because you belong in Suneru
“Actually about that…” you trailed off, but then you heard Kaveh running in.
“Kaveh?” Your sisters eyes widened.
“We built him when we were kids, remember?” You asked.
“Yeah, I do…”
“We were so close, S/N. We can be like that again if you come back to Sumeru.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.” She shook her head; remembering the last time you were close. “You need to leave.”
-she tells you to go enjoy the summer of sumeru while you chase after her
-plus without her the gates are open and she’s free
-HIWEVER WHOUT ALL THAY
-you tell her Sumeru is in deep, deep, deep, deep snow
-“yeah you set off an eternal winter.”
“Everywhere?!”
-“I’m sure you can remove it!”
-NO TF SHE CANT?!
-with all the stress on her she shoots her ice and it HITS YOU
-Alhaitham overheard everything and he comes running in
-he encourages you to leave and when your like no your sister creates a whole ICE MONSTER and it grabs the two of you and sends you flying down the stairs
“It is not nice to throw people!” You yelled, forming a snowball in your hands.
“Woah woah woah!” He grabbed you. “Calm down and relax Icy pants. Leave the snow man be.”
“Alright.” You sighed and he let you go, but the moment he did you immediately threw the snowball at the large snow and ice man.
-oh no
-oh no
-oh nononono
-it’s the smallest impact but he GROWLS and starts chasing after you two
-you both end up sliding away but once your far and hes still chasing, a 200foot drop cliff pops up
-he gets rope out of now where and wraps it around your waist before tying the other side to the pickaxe and sticking it into the snow and you both jump off
-you both forgot about Kaveh but he ends up jumping off the cliff and he’s fine
-HOWEVER THE LARHE ICE KAN AND IS SMART AND HE PULLS ON THE ROPE
-“DONT COME BACK.” IT growled and threw you guys down
-thankfully there’s like metres of snow so it was lke landing on a pillow
-Alhaitham put his hands under our arms and pulled you out of the snow and you thanked him, both of you smiling
-you asked him how his head was and he said he had a thick skull
“I don’t have a skull.” Kaveh said.
-then he asked how your hair was
-YOUR HAIR WAS TURNING WHITE
-he realized it was because you were struck with your sisters magic and then you asked if it looked bad
-“…No’”
“You hesitated.” Kaveh spoke.
“No! Y/N you need help. I’ll bring you to my friends.”
“The love experts?”
-so he acc brings you to the mushrooms you went to as a kid but you don’t know since you don’t remember
“Meet my family!” Alhaitham chuckled, walking in a field of mushrooms.
You blinked.
“He’s crazy.” Kaveh whispered, looking at how Alhaitham talked to mushrooms in the ground. “I’ll distract him while you run.”
He walks up to a mushroom and pets it. “It’s nice to meet you!” He turned and whispered ahain. “Because I love you Y/N, you NEED to run. WHY ARENT YOU RUNNING?!”
“I’m gonna go.” You said.
Alhaitham groaned. “Wait!”
However, the ground started to shake and before you know it the mushrooms are coming out the ground and becoming slightly larger and they start TALKING.
“ALHAITHAM IS HOME!” They all screamed.
-he’s asking where sm1 named nahida is while all the mushrooms start talking to him
-you just laughed, and it caught attention of all of them as they turned and blinked
-“he brought a girl!” One of them yelled before everyone repeated “A GIRL!”
-they all leaned down and someone pushed you as you rolled over all of them and they threw you into his arms
-he told you to just roll with it
-get it
-one of them is literally analyzing you and says “she’s perfect for our Alhaitham!”
-you both realized they thought you were together and the both of you start explaining that’s not how it is
-one asks you what the issue is with him
-is it the clumpy way he walks
-or the grumpy way he talks
-or the weirdly shaped boots he had?
-but you’ll never meet a fella who’s as sensitive and sweet!
-he’s a bit of a fixer upper, a bunch of flaws, and his best friends with a moose
-they tell you that you can fix him with love!
-is it the way that he runs scared?
-or how he’s socially impaired?
-or that half the time he tinkles in the wood?
-you did not need to know that.
-your only laughing while they list a bunch of reasons
-he tells them you’re engaged to some else and they don’t believe it
-one of them says “SHE HAS NO RING!”
-one of the other mushrooms are just giving you advice on love and it’s so weird but you love it
-SUDDENLY THEY DRESS YOU UP IN A CLOAK AND CROWN??
-he turns around and he literally says “woah”
-it’s not until one of the mushrooms starts to speak when you both realize what’s happening
-“do you, Y/N, take Alhaitham to be your truthfully wedded-“
“Wait what?”
“Your getting married.”
-suddenly you let out a wince and fall, your body turning as cold as ice as another strand of hair turns white
-when you fall he’s holding you in his ice and the commotion sends nahida running over
-she checks over you and says your life is in danger because there is ice in your heart
-if not removed, you’ll turn into ice.
-when Alhaitham asks if she can remove it she says no and that only an act of true love can solve it
-Alhaitham dattes crying you and he holds you while Tighnari takes him to Sumeru, saying you need to kiss Childe
-little did you know Childe is currently hunting down your sister
-she almost kills him but wtv
-someone tried to shoot her and somehow she went unconscious idk how to explain it but she wakes up back in Sumeru but she’s chained up
-like there’s protective shit over her hands so she can’t use her magic
-she’s in a dungeon in sumeru
-okay back to you guys
-omg he’s holding you while your both on tighnari who’s jumping his way to the kingdom and when Alhaitham hears you shiver he takes his hat off and puts it on you and it’s so cute
-he carries you into the castle and when your asking if he’s okay he tells you “not to worry about him”
-once the gates to the castle open he tells the workers who take you to get prince Childe and then Alhaitham walks away sad because literally did you know he was kinda sad cuz he liked you
-but your engaged so he can’t do anything
-your taken into a room with Childe and your like “kiss me”
-and he’s like “what?!”
-you explain the whole thing to him and how your sister struck you and shit and you’ll die if there is no act of true love towards you
-he carries you over to a couch by the fireplace, tryna warm you up
-“only an act of true love can save me.”
Childe’s eyes lit up. “True love’s kiss!” His hand slowly caressed your cheek then moved down to your chicken to grab it, leaning towards you.
He went in slowly, almost torturing you.
However,
“Oh Y/N.” He smirked, “if only if there was someone out there who actually loved you.”
- he explains he’s 11th in line for the thrown of his kingdom and he wants to be king
-so he thought marrying you would make him king here
-but now that your about to die and your sister refuses to be queen
-he can now lie and say you put him in charge and he’ll be king
-The betrayal-
-HE NEBER LOVED YOU
-he starts to take out all the fire in the room, all while degrading you and saying how pathetic it was to wanna marry him after one day
-he grabs water and takes out the fire in the room, making you go cold
-he says he’s gonna kill Elsa yeah yeah wtv
-he locks you in the room and your hair has fully turned white now and your close to dying
-Childe walks into a room, faking his sadness and saying your DEAD.
-Now that he’s in charge he says your sister committed treason and his sentence is death
-meanwhile Alhaitham is waking away but a sudden ice storm surrounds the kingdom and he’s SPRINTING BACK
-your sister managed to escape before the guards came to grab her so now it’s a whole new problem
-meanwhile KAVEJ COMES TO YOUR RESCUE!
-he unlocks the door and lights the fireplace and your yelling at him to get away because he’s MELTING
-he helps you over to the fireplace to keep you warm all while you tell him what happened
-kaveh said he won’t leave until you find another act of love
“Love is putting someone else’s needs in front of theirs instead of their own. Like how Alhaitham brought you back to Childe and left.”
-and you realized that ALHAITHAM DID DO THAY
-BABY HE IS IN LOVE
-“your so dumb.” Kaveh said.
-suddenly a window bursts open and he goes to look outside when he closes it
-HE YELLS THAY ALHAOTHAM IS COMING BACK!!
-“man I guess Alhaitham doesn’t love you enough to leave you behind.”
-you make Kaveh help you up even though your dying
-you said you love Alhaitham and you NEED HIM TO LIVE
-so he’s pushing you all the way outside but the storm is causing the whole castle to freeze and ice isn’t good for you because then you’ll die
-meanwhile your sister is out running but the blizzard is so strong she can’t see anything
-thankfully you and Kaveh end up escaping and your running to find Alhaitham and yelling his name
-your sister runs into Childe and he lies and says your dead and she breaks down crying because she knows it’s her fault
-during all of this your hands are starting to turn into literal ice
-like it was actual ice.
-your hair is full on ice now but Alhaitham hears you and is running
-during your sisters break down the blizzard immediately ends and it’s easier for Alhaitham to find you
-he’s running all the way towards you but then you turn to see Childe with a sword about to hit your sister
-and you run in front of her right when he’s about to slash her BUT YOU TURN INTO ICE
-YOUR LOTERAL ICE JOW
-your dead now btw
-ice = dead
-your sister is holding you crying her eyes out
-however
-nahida said ACT OF LOVE
-she never said true loves kiss
-because your sister loves you so much HER LOVE FOR YOU UNFREEZES YOU AND BEVAUSE YOU LOVE HER SO MICH YOU SACRIFICEDBYOURSELF
-love will thaw the ice and because of this the winter starts to go away like SUMMER IS BACK IN SUMERU WOOO!!
-somehow you guys end up on a boat when the winter goes away
-BUT KAVEH STARTS MELTING
“This has gotta be the best day of my life…and probably my last.”
-Sister gives him a little snow cloud above him so he never melts so we good

-you said it was a gift
-when you removed the blindfold it’s a NEW SLED
-you did promise him a new one
-AND ITS THE LATEST MODEL
“Do you like it?” You ask, fidgeting with your fingers, nervous he’d hate it.
“Like it?” He repeated with a scoff, before placing his hands on your waist and picking you up, spinning you around. “I love it! I could kiss you!”
He freezes when he realizes what he said and places you down. “I mean I’d like too, I uh- can I- can you- can we-?”
You cut him off with a kiss on the cheek and smile. “We may.” You say before he wraps his arms around you again and pressed his lips against yours, you wrapping your arms around his neck.

Trust In Me 🥴
David/GN!Reader
Summary: You're having a really rough time lately and could use something to take your mind off of things. Thanks to David's powers he might make that happen in a very literal sense~
Yes, I titled this after the song from the Jungle Book. No, I don't care that it's a cliche.
WARNINGS: Nsfw/Smut/18+ Readers Only, Unspecified Pronouns/Genitals for reader, Dom!David, Sub!Reader, David referring to himself as "Daddy" one time, Dirty talk, Hypnosis, Vampire Powers, Blowjob, Handjobs, Masturbation Teasing, Praise Kink, Soft Dom, Degradation, Dumbification, Aftercare
Life hadn’t been particularly kind to you lately. Things had gotten quite stressful for you, with all your responsibilities and concerns piling up and overwhelming you. It was hard not to feel so frustrated with everything. Thankfully, you had your boys to help with that.
The Lost Boys certainly knew how to have a good time, and with the stress you’d been under, they were more than happy to help take your mind off of things. It was a nice night on the beach, the air warm feeling pleasant on your skin. David and Dwayne had set up a cozy bonfire while Marko and Paul ran through the water that washed onto the shore from the ocean. You laughed with them while they both kicked up the water, splashing one another.
It was all helping you feel a lot better.
That good feeling only got stronger when the five of you got together to sit by the fire, watching the flames crackle and pop as they burned the wood. It was a pleasant change of pace seeing a roaring fire that wasn’t destroying the bodies of feeding victims your boys enjoyed for dinner. Not to mention it made for a good atmosphere as you talked to the others about your day.
“Like I was saying, I was trying to get all my shit together when this absolute asshole decides it’s the right time to bother me. So I-”
Your brain shut off.
It wasn’t like you lost your train of thought or forgot how the story went, it just completely stopped working. You felt numb to everything around you, unthinking and unfocused.
It was surprisingly nice, as the worries and stress you had been struggling with were suddenly blocked out of your mind, putting your focus on the present. It was like getting into bed after a long day, all your troubles completely faded away as you just relaxed.
As you swam in this relaxing sensation, you heard laughter around you. Devious snickering from your boys. The numbness began to fade away and as you regained control of your mind, you felt like yourself again. Now you were just confused as Marko and Paul laughed while David smirked at you.
“Wh-what….huh…what just happened…?” you asked, finally coming to. It only made the others laugh harder. Only Dwayne was being kind to you, wrapping his arm around your shoulders and pulling you close to his body.
“They were messing with you, baby,” he explained, kissing your forehead. “David used his powers on you for a prank”
You didn’t fully understand, but you knew they were up to no good by the way the others grinned devilishly. Your head tilted to the side, trying to understand things better.
“It’s hypnosis,” David explained. “To put it bluntly, I made you go dumb for a bit. I wanted to see what would happen if I did that while you were in the middle of your sentence”
The night was a bit of a blur after that. You pouted from Paul and Marko’s laughter and David gave an apology that you knew wasn’t genuine. But you could still go with the flow and move on from something so small and harmless. Your story finished, you stayed cozied up with Dwayne the most and enjoyed the glow of the fire until it was time to go home.
But while your night with the boys was over, the thought of you going dumb like that lingered in your head.
Even when you were tucked away in bed you couldn't stop thinking about what happened. You usually scolded the boys or rolled your eyes at the pranks they liked to pull on you. But this was a very new and unexpected reaction. You liked going mindless under their control. It had been so relaxing not having any thoughts or cares crowding in your brain.
The more you thought about it the more your imagination ran wild with the idea. You thought about your boys using you how they wanted. Making you do things you’d be too shy or worried about if you were acting normally. You were slowly becoming quite aroused by the possibility of one of them doing it to you again.
Sadly, none of them did that mind trick on you. You tried talking more, sharing detailed stories, and hoping one of them would shut your brain off mid-sentence. But it never happened. Never had you actually been upset that they were being good listeners.
You could have just told them you wanted that trick to happen again, but the mere thought of confessing your new kink was quite embarrassing. It was better to let them act on their own, but they never took the opportunity to mess with you.
It didn’t help that your stress hadn’t gotten much better. Life was still hectic as ever, leaving you feeling tired, overworked, and incredibly frustrated. There was so much work you had to take care of that you even had to skip a few date nights with your boys. You hated that part most. When you finally did get a night to visit the cave, you were heartbroken to find they had already left for a hunt. Not only were you alone but you had no idea when they’d be back.
You slumped onto the couch, frustrated by everything. A pillow was held close to your chest while you pouted, feeling so lonely. An hour came and went, and still, none of your boys returned home. No matter where you turned, you were met with nothing but rotten luck.
It wasn’t until you finally heard a set of footsteps come down the opening path to the cave entrance that you felt just the slightest bit of hope. You lifted your head to see David entering the room, torch in hand and a look of surprise on his face. He’d never seen you look so helpless before.
“Hey, sweetheart,” he called out to you. “Sorry, I didn’t know you were here! I came back for my toolbox because my bike’s acting up”
You nodded softly, not feeling particularly talkative. The last thing you wanted to do was think more about your awful day. You only hoped David wouldn’t ask the dreaded question.
“Are you okay?”
He asked it.
Two floodgates immediately opened up; one that held back your tears and one that held back the words to express how upset you were. David was by your side in half a second, cradling your tear-stained face. He watched you with a soft expression while you rambled a mile a minute about everything that was going wrong.
David wasn’t always the nicest guy, but he was certainly the most loyal and devoted to those he cared about. You were no exception to the rule.
“Awww sweetie, I’m real sorry…” he said softly, kissing your cheek in between words. “I had no idea you were goin’ through all that stress. I wish I could make it go away…”
“Sometimes…I-I…just w-wish…I could tu-turn my brain off…like what you did before…” you blubbered, not fully realizing what you had said.
David tilted his head, eyebrow raised in curiosity. He had completely forgotten about that little prank on the beach, but it seemed like you hadn’t. At the time he thought you would have been upset that he was playing tricks on your mind, but after things had settled down he took notice of your fluttering heartbeat. Something that happened only when you were excited.
If he had known you were still thinking about that power, he would have said something sooner.
“Is that so?” he asked, curiosity peaked. “Have you been thinking about that a lot?”
You swiftly wiped your eyes to get a better look at David’s face. It was easy to notice the shift in his tone and when you saw that intrigued expression, you realized what you had said before.
“W-Well, yeah, I guess….it was just…nice not having to think about anything…” you mumbled, trying to come off as a bit more casual about it. David saw right through that. A wicked smile spread across his face as he moved his hand from your cheek to under your chin. Your breath hitched when his eyes met yours.
“You did seem quite a bit more relaxed when I did that, my dear~” he mused. “But I don’t think it’s just about being relaxed, is it?”
Still holding eye contact with you, David leaned forward to take hold of your legs, tugging them forward so that you were perched on top of his lap. Whenever you were sitting like this on top of him he had no intentions of letting you go.
“I think you like becoming nice and dumb too~”
Any sadness you had before had vanished, now replaced with the slow burn of arousal. He looked so very hungry as he made his observation. It made your face warm up knowing he was catching on to the new thing you liked.
“Well, I…um…”
“Hush, darling~” he said lowly. David leaned down to press his lips to your ear, his warm breath on your skin making you shiver. Surely he could feel how fast your heart was pumping in your chest right now. It was getting increasingly difficult to hide how you felt.
“Why don’t I turn off that pesky little brain of yours for a bit and let you forget about all those things stressing you out,” he purred, rubbing your hip with one hand. “I’ll even give you something special to take your mind off of things. Would you like that, my dear~?”
You knew just what the vampire was implying with that offer, but you weren’t entirely certain what would happen if he did that while you were mindless and docile. Still, it didn’t put you off. If anything, it just made you feel quite curious and intrigued. You had full trust in the things that David said and did, and as you let him touch you more, you decided to take a chance on this newfound desire.
“Yes, David. I want that…~”
You swore you could feel his smirk against your neck. When he pulled away from your body, he took hold of your wrists in his gloved hands. Icy blue eyes met your own. Only a second later did the color shift to a familiar golden tone.
“I can do this to you without eye contact,” David explained, his voice sounding a bit deeper. “But it’s a much stronger influence this way. Not to mention it’s more fun to watch you~”
Even if you wanted to ignore his words, you couldn’t. You were too easily slipping further and further into a trance as you stayed focused on his vampiric eyes. It was as simple as stepping into a warm body of water, the sensation surrounding your entire body. As he pulled you in deeper, you could feel any aches or pains in your body and mind begin to fade away.
“That’s it, my sweet little human. Just relax for me~”
David’s voice was almost unrecognizable. It felt more like a song playing in the distance, low and slow in its tone. You couldn’t get over how much you liked the sound of it.
“No more of those pesky little worries. I’m gonna take good care of you, darling. Just do as I say and let me do all the thinking for you~”
“Y-Yes, David…~” you sighed, nuzzling into him more. Your mouth felt fuzzy when you spoke and your voice didn’t sound quite right to your own ear, but you couldn’t have cared less.
He grinned wolfishly before brushing your chin with his fingers and tilting your face closer for a kiss. The fuzzy feelings you had only got stronger when his lips moved against yours. You could have done this for hours.
Sadly, that wasn’t what David wanted. At least, not for now. He pulled away and focused his hypnotic eyes on you once again.
“You know what would help you feel nicer, little human~?” he asked. You dumbly tilted your head as he reached down to unbuckle his belt and pull his pants zipper down. “Something nice and yummy to suck on for a bit~”
You were practically drooling as you looked down to see his cock freed and already hard as a rock. It made your heart beat faster knowing that you acting so docile was getting him off. If this was something that made both of you feel this good, then you’d have to consider doing it more often.
“On the floor, baby. Take it nice and slow for me. I won’t be rough with you, don’t worry~”
It was so easy to follow his command. To let him make decisions and think for you. It was a power that fit David so very well. You obediently slipped off the couch and down onto the rug that stretched over the cave floor. You never dared to look away from David as you took hold of his cock in your hand, stroking it gently.
Even without his powers, you thought he was so delicious, but now with your mind clouded and your focus solely on him, you felt practically starved for his body.
You wrapped your lips around the tip of his cock, already moaning around it. The smallest drop of precum was on your tongue, and it was perfectly delicious. You looked up at David with absolute love as you gently sucked on him. He leaned against the couch and gazed back at you with such a satisfied grin. He was quite proud of himself.
“Yeah, there you go. There’s nothing you have to think about besides sucking on my cock. That’s what you’re meant to do, sweet human. Get your cute holes filled and succumb to the pleasure I give you. There’s not a single thing you have to do besides that~” he cooed.
He reached out a hand to place on top of your head, gently encouraging you to take more if you could. You were more than happy to slip more of his length into your mouth, humming as you did so. The soft sounds of pleasure he made only made you slip deeper into your trance. All you could think about was him. Nothing else mattered.
“Actually, there’s something else you can do, little one. That is if that empty head of yours can comprehend more than one thing at once~”
Even with such teasing remarks, David’s voice was practically dripping in sweetness. It made your stomach feel like it was full of butterflies.
“Reach down and play with yourself while you enjoy my cock. I want my little human to feel as good as possible. Think you can do that for me~?”
You couldn’t even think hard enough to form words at that point. All you did was slowly nod while moving up and down the length. It felt good being under this influence, just letting David call the shots and treat you like a pet. Not a single thought was in your head, and the longer it stayed that way, the better.
While your mouth was busy your hand traveled down into your pants and past the hem of your underwear. You hadn’t realized you were so aroused until that moment. When your fingers began to move in the way you liked, you moaned louder around David’s dick. He was so immensely happy with how you looked below him.
“That’s it, sweetheart. My precious little one. My obedient human plaything. You take orders as well as you take cock. But no need to fear. I won’t order you to do anything else besides that, so don’t worry your pretty little head, okay? Just follow my words and my words alone~”
David’s words were no different than a spell, twisting and manipulating your senses. You didn’t fight it in the slightest. You were his, and you didn’t want that to change. As you batted your eyes up at him, you moved faster, pumping his thick cock in and out of your mouth at a quicker pace. Drool coated the entire length, making such a mess as you worked your magic. He loved it when you got sloppy with your work.
He slipped his hand away from your head just for a moment to take off his glove. As much as you adored the roughness of the leather, you loved his own hand even more. His fingers stroked your hair so tenderly, a welcome change from how rough he usually was with you. Not that you minded playing rough, of course. But for now, his gentle caresses and sweet words were the perfect combinations to make you feel lighter than air.
Your fingers moved quicker as you moaned on his cock. Not a single thought went through your mind besides how much you loved David. Even though you were a human you still knew you were going to spend eternity with him. You’d be his dumb little pet, always on his arm or down at his feet, eager to follow his command. Hell, you’d let him turn you into his servant if he so desired. The thought of just making him happy forever turned you on even more.
“Awww, look at you…mmmm…so fucking dumb…so blissfully naive…not a goddamn…mmff…thought in that head~” David praised you. His voice was shaking, no doubt from the pleasure rising. His cock twitched against your tongue. It was so hard not to shove it down your throat, but he was a man of his word, and he would be gentle with you. What he couldn’t do with his body he’d make up for with his words.
“I’ll bet you’d drop everything for me. Why don’t…oooh fuck…you just stay by my side and let…mmmhh…let me take care of you, little one?” he said. Your eyes widened, intrigued by such an offer.
“You’ll never have to work or think or take care of any pesky responsibilities. Just keep my cock warm…grrrrr~….and I’ll make it so you don’t have….fuck…have to think about anything ever again. A pretty little thing like you shouldn’t have to worry about a thing~”
It felt like you were high, completely addicted to such sweet promises. You pawed at David’s thighs and whined loudly as you sucked faster, taking him deep inside your mouth without any fears of your gag reflex acting up. All you did was pleasure him and yourself, and that’s all you wanted to do from now on. It was just so perfect.
You were getting quite restless and noisy as you felt that familiar sensation of pleasure build up in your body. You were so close, it almost hurt. With your eyes welling up again, you stayed focused on your vampire lover, deep-throating his cock as fast as you could so that he could feel as good as you did. It must have been working because he gripped you tighter and let out a snarl that let you know how close he was.
“Fuck, that’s it. Don’t stop, little one…f-fuck, I’m gonna give you a nice, warm drink…mmmhh!...and you can take it while y-you….grrrr….cum for me. Don’t think, sweetheart. Just do it for me~”
Don’t think. You were more than happy to do that. As the cloudiness still consumed your brain, your body continued to put in all the work. You moaned like a needy little whore around David’s length, bobbing up and down in a desperate act for your reward. Inside your underwear you were so close to making an absolute mess, shamelessly ready to stain the fabric with your orgasm.
You wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Finally, you let out a pathetic whine as you went over the edge, your body shaking and your fingers trembling as you coated them in your cum. Not even the power of your climax consuming your body could stop you from keeping your gaze on David’s beautiful eyes. The deep red and gold colors pulled you in deep. You never wanted to look away.
“My dumb, mindless little toy…my…oh sh-shit…my good little pet….fuck~!!” David growled out as he threw his head back. Shots of hot cum spilled into your mouth, seemingly non-stop as they filled you up. You smiled around David’s cock as you drank every last bit down, savoring his taste as you took it all. Now he would be just as relaxed as you.
David sighed in relief as he fell further back into the couch. He was completely spent and satisfied, thanks to you. Even with both of you finished, you still carefully watched him, not focused on anything but your vampire lover. When he realized how you were still zoned out, he ceased his influence on you. When his eyes shifted back to blue, that’s when you felt like yourself again.
Your thoughts cleared and your focus returned in mere seconds. You shook your head after pulling your mouth off of David’s now soft cock. Now you were aware of your senses again, particularly the sticky mess in your underwear. But you didn’t care. You had never felt better in your entire life, and you had David to thank for that.
Speaking of which, his lips were pulled up in a smirk, showing off how satisfied he was knowing that he had essentially turned you into a living sex toy. He had never been so grateful to have his powers.
“Come here, sweetheart. Come sit on Daddy’s lap for a bit~” he said, his voice still sweet in tone. Your arms immediately latched around his neck and your chest pressed into his own as he held you close. Kisses peppered the top of your head as you nuzzled into him. You felt like you were going to cry again if you ever let him go.
Actually, you were probably going to cry regardless. You hadn’t realized how stressful your life truly was up until that moment. For so long you’d been on the fence about the right time to become a vampire, but after hearing David promise you an eternity of pleasure, you were incredibly anxious to make the change.
Maybe it wasn’t even the kink that made it all so nice to think about. Perhaps you were just in need of someone to take care of you. David would definitely take care of you. He looked after the others for so long, and you would be no different. He’d give you orders, sure, but you’d do it with a smile if it meant having your mind clear like that.
David must have sensed your distress, because he held your face in his hand so gently, stroking his thumb along your cheek.
“It’s alright, my dear. I know it’s all a lot. But I’ll happily do that for you again if it’ll make you feel better. I’ll do anything for you~” he promised.
You cuddled into him even more, feeling completely safe and loved. When you spoke again, your voice was soft and timid.
“Then…can you…”
“No, little one,” David interrupted. He already knew what you were going to ask. “I certainly will, but not just yet. Before we do that, I want to give each of the boys a chance to try that trick on you too. I think it’s only fair~”
A shiver ran down your spine at the idea of Dwayne, Marko, and Paul all using their hypnotic powers to use you as they pleased. You could certainly get used to this~

ok, its time for a QUICK tng update before xm*s proceedings. saturday we did "best of both worlds part ii" and "family" and last night we did "brothers" and "suddenly human."
best of both worlds part ii: I LOOOOOVED THIS EPISODE. mwah. EVERYTHING i wanted. creepy little cyborg implants. brainwashed picard. his beautiful perfect cgi tear (which may or may not have been cgi, this is a point of debate, experts please weigh in). data bravely doing a robot mind meld. 1000000/10 more borg episodes please please PLEASE
can you imagine if the borg has ben in tos btw. what a thought experiment, except for how i quite literally can't think about it or i'll get so excited i'll pass out
did guinan imply she and picard were lovers in this ep...girl you can do better
my one nitpick with william riker was him promoting that lady he hated instead of someone who deserved it, like worf or data. it probably would have given worf ptsd but can you imagine that enterprise having a captain and first officer being gay on the bridge again...wonderful. except this time there would also be deanna <3
"how much do you remember" "everything" AHAHAHAHA GREAT. GOOD. WONDERFUL. anyway
family: extremely unusual episode but i loved it nonetheless. i was really shocked worf's parents were so sweet!!! i fucking loved them. they're like the cutest people on earth i can't believe they raised such a taciturn and stoic guy like worf...
picard's family i wasn't sure about at first until the wrestling match in the mud. sometimes you need to punch a guy and his brother stepped up to the job admirably. i kept thinking he looked like michael caine, which would have been an incredible choice.
WESLEY.....................................................we don't need to talk about it
everyone's accents in this ep were wack. why does picard have a totally different accent from his brother. why is worf's accent different from his parents. ik its not that deep but its making me crrrazzzyyy
brothers: i didnt even get a look at the title of this episode before we started bc vumoo (the shady site im using to watch) doesn't display them but it was SUCH an unexpected pleasure to get a data episode
absolutely scuh-reaming at the ease with which he hijacked an ENTIRE goddamn starship. he's so competent i love that. a real "glad he's on OUR side" moment, not unlike spock commandeering the enterprise in "the menagerie" (rip i wish that had been a better episode).
lore grew on me really fast. i was neutral on him during his last appearance, the meme aside, but in this episode he was really fun and unsettling. brent spiner can do horrible, horrible things with his face
this ep felt a little cut off? i expected another confrontation with lore, a getting back of the chip, or at least some kind of burial or funeral for dr soong, but we just quit like 3/4 through the episode. maybe less time spent on the opening section of the hijack could have fixed this
anyway i love the foil between data and lore...one has support and the other does not...but it doesn't make sense for lore to get the emotions chip because it seems like he already HAS them??
oh yeah and data repeating "i am not less perfect than lore" got funnier EVERY time he did it. little man was really going thru it i was cracking up genuinely <3
suddenly human: this episode was wack
ok, did you guys read face on the milk carton when you were in school? i did when i was way too young to be reading it and it fucked me up real bad and i completely forgot about it until i watched this episode and then i got to unlock that memory in real time
anyway, while it is obviously the correct choice to return a child to their family when they are kidnapped as babies, it is also hugely traumatic for an older child to be ripped away from a loving home* and transplanted with strangers, which those books explore in horrific detail. so the whole episode i found myself going "i KNOW it's bad politics but could they not just CONSIDER leaving him with the only family he's ever known as a possible choice" and then they DID THAT and i wanted to be ill because it was obviously the worst choice in the world
* this is a different scenario than the first tng episode involving kidnapped children, which strongly resembled the residential schools from real life. THIS particular situation, minus the method of kidnapping (during warfare), more closely resembled the crazy cult shit happening in those books, where the kidnapped girl was being raised by people who thought they really were her biological grandparents and weren't bad people and her biological family also weren't bad people. a "no fault" situation EXCEPT FOR HE KIDNAPPENED THAT BABY DURING WARFARE.
anyway this is the second time tng has dropped the ball on this subject so i think from now on they should not do episodes like this anymore. really really really really bad.
NEXT TIME: "remember me" and "legacy"

(Prt. 1) I just checked your blog and saw you replying in real-time to my messages. XD OMG, YES! I completely forgot to mention his iconic "I guess we can't be friends" line ASDFGHJKL. There's honestly so much to say about Cloud and Rufus because, let's face it, Rufus has been underappreciated and overlooked for YEARS (and the Turks, too, while I'm rambling again, but that's for another day...). Back in the OG, I get why that is because of his stereotypical portrayal and lack of screentime.
Anonymous asked:
(Prt. 2) Added to the long stretches of time between the FFVII novels/other titles through the years and plot demands focus on main party, it's such a SHAME that a lot of fans just haven't read the novels or guidebooks because they provide SO MUCH depth to Rufus' characterization/growth from being a wannabe fascist dictator to fighting for the planet because of GENUINE REMORSE and DESIRE TO PAY HIS DEBT BACK TO THE PLANET. Sure, he's still looking out for Shinra, but hey, that's business.
(Prt. 3) And despite all these years, I am SHOOK that there's so many out there that haven't realized despite whatever differences Rufus and Cloud have, THEY REALLY DO HAVE A LOT IN COMMON. When I got into FFVII and started seriously exploring and paying attention to these characters, it really struck me how much Rufus and Cloud are ACTUAL FOILS to each other. And all the Remake trilogy is doing just bringing into the main games than shoving into the novels that half the fandom hasn't even read.
(Prt. 3? I'm losing track fast because I'm on A ROLL! XD) Because I'm anonymous and YOU'RE A WONDERFUL PERSON, Heich, I feel safe for saying something that some may take issue with and you don't even have to agree with me since I was DONE with shipping discourse when I was 13 and differing opinions should be respected. I 100% BELIEVE that Rufus would make a better romantic partner for Cloud than literally ANYONE ELSE in the series. Yes, that includes T*fa and Aer*th. Why, you ask? See next part.
Rufus and Cloud both love their mothers (Rufus's mother died when he was young) deeply, and don't have much of a relationship with their fathers (Cloud's father was too much of a "free spirit" and got eaten by fiends, as stated in ToTP, and Cloud knows what his mother tells him; Rufus's father was neglectful, and Rufus grows up hating/resenting him, as stated in OtWtS). Both hide their loneliness growing up by acting stoic and cool, and they carry this in their adult lives, too.
Both of them grew DESPARATELY trying to be somebody important and prove themselves to others. And for those who don't know, Rufus DOES crave his father's acknowledgement since he was a child as stated in the novels (he still hates his guts, of course). By the time they're both adults, they even know how childishly rebellious they acted, but they still struggle with their insecurities and loneliness. Again, Rebirth is making those two points in particular VERY OBVIOUS outside the books.
Okay, anon, I wanted to answer your first group as an aggregate this time so it would all make sense. I'll put my reply under the cut so the post doesn't get too long!
It's true, so much of Rufus' history and then character development is hidden behind a wall-of-entry, so to speak, and that does suck. You really just can't get the full depth and breadth of him as a character, especially as he's being fleshed out in Remake/Rebirth, without that background. Or, at least, you'd be missing a lot.
I don't want to focus too much on who is 'best' to ship Cloud with, I'm not here for that and I think the reason I love this world so much is because of the strength and uniqueness of the interpersonal relationships. I think the people around both of them are integral to their lives and development, 'yes men' or otherwise. That said, I do believe they're good foils to one another and that it's a great ship. Considering the people who are left after Meteorfall and then Bahamut Sin, I can't say I'd be entirely disappointed or shocked if Cloud and Rufus did not become closer allies...and then closer other things are possible. Which is the only window I need 😈
What I'm really interested in with Rufus is the exploration of this desire to pay back what Shinra owes, how deep it could go, how his own near-death experiences shaped him, and how the people close to him followed whatever path he decided to take, regardless. It really is a lot like Cloud's story. He takes his group down an extremely dangerous path, unbeknownst to him (and them), and everyone suffers for it, but the intense bond they have, the ability to forgive and see a bigger picture, keeps all of his loved ones close and still believing in him.
I have more to say but it's in response to your next group of asks, so I'll pick up once I draft that reply! Thanks so much for the fun analysis, it's really so validating to have someone to talk to about this specific ship/topic!

I genuinely forgot that Birds of Prey was a current title until the mention of Barbara again. Could you give us your thoughts on it? If we are going by editorial do you think titles are given out based on preferences? It’s been shown that artist are being commissioned to draw covers based on preferences of editors. What if a certain editors likes Barbara as Batgirl so certain titles are more important to show her as Batgirl to them whereas a Batman title where nothing really big happens to her and she plays a small part is the exception?
I wrote some thoughts I had on the series here.
But a quick version is really, it's...okay? Like a big reason I was so hard on Batgirls for like the first year of it's run is how insulting I felt as a reader and fan of Cass/the Batgirl brand. It felt like Cloonrad/Chen/Bat office were purposefully putting out a book that was made to insult fans of every Batgirl book that wasn't Burnside. Is that true? (Honestly kinda) Probably not, but it's how it felt when I read it so I continued to have strong negative feelings when reading it literally until the Annual issue.
With Birds I don't feel insulted reading it, but I also don't think it's that good. I don't think Thompson is the "Savior" of Cass or Dinah or Babs or any of these characters like I keep seeing some ppl want to believe. At this point she's barely writing a Birds of Prey book anyway. She's writing a Dinah book and everyone else is just playing second (except Harley) and for some reason ppl seem okay with that. I think the story is paced incredibly bad and the entire plot is dumb and is making a lot of the characters look dumb. But again ppl seem okay with that. A lot of things I think other writers would get crucified for Thompson is doing and ppl are praising her. I'll admit I'm surprised ppl are upset that Babsgirl is gonna show up cause I figured Thompson was bulletproof at this point.
My understanding is that editorial decides what books they want to make, sometimes even the story/plot/characters used in the books and then find the creatives they want to make the book a reality. I believe they also hear pitches and then either work together to make the pitch something worthwhile, or take the pitch bastardize it into something else entirely and then the writer now has to make that book.
I have heard she doesn't work at DC anymore, but Jessica Chen was loud and proud Babsgirl fan and most of her editorial work when it came to Babs had her as Babsgirl a lot of the time. I think editors definitely can and do influence decisions on whether or not Babsgirl or Oracle gets used when it comes to a title based on their preference as oppose to what the story needs or what is best for the character. It definitely often feels like if she doesn't have a major role then she's allowed to be Oracle, but if she's supposed to be important to the story then the writers suddenly don't know how to write her only as Oracle and must use her as Batgirl again cause now it's important.
Better people than me are way more knowledgeable about stuff like this so these are just my random thoughts, but frankly Thompson writing Babsgirl was inevitable. I mean this is a writer that didn't think ppl cared about Huntress being part of the Birds of Prey, I didn't have high hopes she was gonna put too much thought into thinking ppl would prefer Oracle vs Babsgirl in a Birds book. Whether she was forced to do it or not, idk. I don't believe she was, but I'm not in the room.

AH QUIL i completely forgot i meant to respond to your response in entirety but the time has gotten away from me... genuinely did not mean to ignore it for so long haha! i appreciated it a lot!!! i love connecting with people through shared and similar experience!!!! (also i realize i thought i sent another ask or two but when i was writing it it was 3am and i have the vague memory of not sending at least one of them) and yeah! despite the differences it is weird and often difficult to look at all the places where your history has diverged from the root. it's so interesting to hear about your experiences with cultural connection and i mean it makes so much sense, too, in the context of the book: it's babel. i have been sitting around thinking about it since uhhh the day i sent that ask i think! i hadn't known a clue what it was about but now that i know it's about colonialism and language and translation etc etc.... it's a very fitting title like upon first look it took me a minute but then it kind of falls into context: colonialism and religion, the splitting of one language into hundreds of thousands of maybe-even-millions. it makes like absolute perfect sense dude i'm kind of like biting and growling about it. just a little. even though i haven't read the book yet! i was going to try to get ahold of it at the library but all the copies are checked out and there are over 30 holds T-T
No worries! I didn't even notice; I'm always forgetting to properly respond to things for embarrassing lengths of time.
I also love connecting with people, the solidarity and similarities that can be found even though the way we're affected is different. Like, you haven't been taught your language(s) by your parents (yet), mine doesn't know the language and so can't teach me, and yet the result is the same, which is that a language that otherwise would've been as natural to us as breathing is absent. And we can feel and grieve the absence.
It's very interesting to hear about your experiences as well--I know we're focusing on language, because it's Babel, but just in general. Your culture beyond language, both disconnect and what you are connected to. I love learning about others
And yes! The title is incredibly fitting! The dissection and tearing apart of language to its minutiae, the hubris. I must admit I don't know much about the story of Babel, just what I've anecdotally heard, so don't take my Tower of Babel commentary too deeply.
I've also been thinking of title in relation to babble. And the all to common comments on how other languages sound like "babble" and are ridiculous (read: foreign) and are therefore "lesser", and yet despite that belief (which is present in the story), it's so crucial to their world. It is a story about the power of that "babbling", how it's demeaned and condemned and yet their world quite literally cannot safely function without the language and translation powering it. It's a story about languages. That was actually the first connection I made with the title because i had completely forgotten the Tower of Babel was a mythologically important thing, so I figured I'd share. There is so much packed into that title!! Even just the word "babel" sans the additions (Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution)
I hope you can get your hands on a copy soon! If I could lend you my family's copy I would, but alas </3
#babel rf kuang#babel an arcane history#babel or the necessity of violence#quil's queries#soryasongsaa#i didn't even make the tower of babel connection until after I finished reading the book I think#so I'm sure I'm missing out on a whole host of very rich and deep meanings and parallels and the like#oh wait no maybe I made the connection part way through#because they do reference and mention the og babel in the book#and talk about the adamic language and the tower of bable#yeah I think that's what happened#long post

Rewatching Toy Story right now.
Oh my god I love this movie so much it’s genuinely my comfort movie.
It’s hilarious and the animation is top tier. The amount of details in the background is astounding, like you know that scene at the beginning with the board meeting? You can literally see books behind Woody with some of them having as their titles the names of some of Pixar’s first shorts (The Adventures of André and Wally B., Tin Toy, Red’s Dream…) and I just- aaaaaAAAAAAaaahhh geeking out over funny Pixar references within the funny Pixar movies
And THE CHARACTERS OH MY GOD- Buzz Lightyear and Woody are some of my all-time favorite characters and I love their dynamic so much, they go from worst enemies to best buddies and even though they keep getting on each other’s nerves in the first movie, I just love how their friendship evolves throughout the series. Literally the best Pixar duo ever. The skrunklies <3
And I forgot how SAVAGE some of the jokes were (strangely enough the most unhinged ones are all made by Mr. Potato Head).
Anyways uhhh yeah here’s my rant about one of my favorite animated movies.
#toy story#pixar#pixar film#buzz lighyear and woody#movies#favorite movie of all time#pixar my beloved#oh my god i’m not even exaggerating when i tell you how much i love this movie

i was reminded today that i once made a playlist of songs related to prongsfoot in some way and i don’t think i’ve ever actually?? listened to it, but i’m going to listen to it for the first time! and try to remember my reasoning...
1. keep away - lou reed
i genuinely don’t remember this song. may 6, 2022...yeah, no recollection. my best guess is i was reading pioneers for the second or third time and made some parallels with the lyrics. reading the lyrics now, i kind of see it? in a more ironic/lying way...i’ll probably delete it, though it’s a very fun song tbh, so i’m glad i re-listened to it!
2. thick as thieves - the jam
this one is pretty obvious. i could just copy and paste the whole song lol, but that’s a little too much, so i’ll just paste the first few verses! second half is just as prongsfoot-y though. for similarly clear reasons.
Times were so tough, but not as tough as they are now
We were so close and nothing came between us, and the world
No personal situations
Thick as thieves us, we'd stick together for all time
And we meant it but it turns out just for a while
We stole, the friendship that bound us together
We stole from the schools and their libraries
We stole from the drugs that sent us to sleep
We stole from the drink that made us sick
We stole anything that we couldn't keep
And it was enough, we didn't have to spoil anything
And always be as thick as thieves
Like a perfect stranger, you came into my life
Then like the perfect lone ranger, you rode away, rode away
Rode away, rode away
3. pale blue eyes - vu
i genuinely annotated a copy of this song in the book i have of lou reed’s lyrics from the perspective of prongsfoot. something was wrong with me but also, i was right. this one is a bit (lot) more metaphorical than #2, hence my annotations lol, so i’ll just paste the most obvious bit:
It was good what we did yesterday
And I’d do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves you’re my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin
as for the eponymous “linger on, your pale blue eyes,” i wrote in the book that it represents sirius losing his memories of james while in azkaban--aka him lingering on james while alone for a decade lol, and his memories of james changing. according to what i wrote, “pale” represents how he’s losing his memories (i.e. they’re losing color; paling) and “blue eyes” represents the same exact thing--or more specifically, how he’s remembering incorrectly, since james’s eyes are hazel (and sirius’s are grey). this is so funny and terrible
edit: i almost forgot the other pretty clear verse??
Thought of you as my mountaintop
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had, but couldn't keep
I've had, but couldn't keep
4. i’m sticking with you - vu
another fairly very obvious one (this song is literally james and sirius in the levicorpus flashback scene lmao). the clearest parts:
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too
and then
But with you by my side
I can do anything
When we swing
We hang past right and wrong
I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me to
5. red right ankle - the decembrists
this one is literally since a prongsfoot fic i have bookmarked is named after this song and inspired by it lmaoo
here’s the first two verses:
This is the story of your red right ankle
And how it came to meet your leg
And how the muscle, bone, and sinews tangled
And how the skin was softly shed
And how it whispered, "Oh, adhere to me
For we are bound by symmetry
And whatever differences our lives have been
We together make a limb"
This is the story of your red right ankle
“oh, adhere to me // for we are bound by symmetry / and whatever differences out lives have been // we together make a limb” tbh that’s all i care to include, the rest is just for context lol.
adhere to me <-> i’m sticking with you lmaooo
6. black and gold - sam sparro
this is the most cringy of them all. i promise it’s not just because of the title that this is here. it’s still cringy either way but still. tbh someone needs to give this to the jegulus fandom they’d eat it up. the “black and gold” at the very least
'Cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
That it's all just a bunch of matter
Cause if you're not really here
I don't want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
also this part, which this fic comes from. (it’s not exactly a favorite fic of mine but it is a readable prongsfoot fic, which is rare enough for me to call a fic with a “misunderstandings” plot readable)
I look up into the night sky
And see a thousand eyes staring back
And all around these golden beacons
I see nothing but black
7. barracuda - john cale
tbh i could explain every line & verse as prongsfoot-y but some are less obvious and some are more obvious so i’ll just do what i’ve been doing and paste the most obvious lol
Barracuda, barracuda
Won't you lay down your life to me?
Won't you love me barracuda?
If you always need to bring out the worst in me
and then, of course
The ocean will have us all
The ocean will have us all
and finally (think of this in reference to poa lol)
Dead forest with the moon arising
Smiling at you out of reach
8. supplier! - crisaunt
this is...not exactly my type of song?? to be honest i don’t even know the prongsfoot reference but i do remember adding it...i just don’t have a clue why
9. what’s good (the thesis) - lou reed
this is what made me remember this playlist!
Life's like a mayonnaise soda
And life's like space without room
And life's like bacon and ice cream
That's what life's like without you
Life's like forever becoming
But life's forever dealing in hurt
Now life's like death without living
That's what life's like without you
and then
What's good is life without living
What good's this lion that barks
You loved a life others throw away nightly
It's not fair, not fair at all
pretty simple!
the verdict: i’m taking off keep away, black and gold, and supplier. now it’s a 6-song, 22 minute playlist, lol. i doubt anyone’s read this far but if you have--suggestions?

Had to type this twice because i am dumb, i hope i don't forget everything
This chapter cured my 1am breakdown over a test i am studying for, my mood is 10 times better now
If you ever decide to write a romance book i will buy it immediately (no matter what the cover looks like!!)
I sent the ask about devon being the villain and when i read the fragrance thing i was, well, surprised...? I did NOT expect that to show up in the fic at all, but OH IT WORKED!!! i have only recently gotten into perfumes and now i want one that has podium at a night race vibes
"NOT ANYMORE" screaming crying throwing up
The paragraph about what it would be like to drive a race that you know will kill you... SO GOOD
Some little details make aidan being a ferrari driver seem so realistic. When you mention that he's a terrible actor in the ads i immediately thought of every single time that charles and carlos seemed like they were being held hostage by shell
omg GOOD LUCK ON THE TEST!! i’m glad i could provide a little study break for you
genuinely i’m so pleased your ask reminded me of the perfume thing bc when i replayed braking point i thought man i’ve GOT to squeeze this into the fic somewhere and then promptly forgot about it. anyway after answering your ask last night Homoerotic Perfume Application came to me like a vision so thank you for that
i am also trying to get into perfumes a little more (i’m an aiden style “wear what my mum gets me for christmas” person) and i was really going to try and do some research and get a better idea of the specific notes i think would be in 71 by devon butler (working title) but i literally got kicked off fragrantica on ALL of my devices AND incognito windows for opening too many tabs while trying to search “masculine unisex perfume leather spice notes????? night???”
also HAHAHAHA i WAS in fact literally thinking of the shell advert when i wrote that bit. long live the future butler family christmasses when they’re playing charades and imogen “trained actress” butler and her equally stagey boyfriend get to face off against aiden “fighting for his fucking life here” jackson

FORGOT A TITLE UHHH STOP READING SHITTY BOOKS
CW: misogyny, wh*rephobia, anti-Rromanyism
in the episode, a previously he/him host is now a he/they. so congratulations on the pronouns
they talked a lot about the magic system here which I barely remembered and didn't find very compelling
unlike the hosts I just don't care for magic systems that try to break your brain. I get the appeal but I like to understand things
our PhD candidate is very earnestly trying to connect a later scene of mass production of magic lamps to adam smith's theory of political economy. idk what he's talking about but the other hosts assure him PR isn't that clever
so like we said before our main guy is....every type of guy. and REALLY dramatic about it too
theater kid kvothe?
so he's an unreliable narrator, I guess?
hmm so yeah there's a lot here about wh*res and how horrible it is to be a sex worker and how a gentleman shouldn't call a wh*re a wh*re because "you don't want to remind them of how terrible their job is" even though they're still thinking about these women in this derogatory way? why can't you just treat these people respectfully because they're people?
also PR is apparently an epic atheist (TM) and religion plays a very minor role in this story
also there's a myth where a there's man who's abusing his unfaithful wife and it's treated like "oh they deserve each other because they're both doing bad things" ??????
so PR is an abuse apologist now ig along with being misogynistic and wh*rephobic and anti-Rromani AND according to what I remember vaguely homophobic as well?
HOW did this asshole get his reputation for being progressive again???
so anyway there's a ton of irrelevant lore that none of the hosts care about because it.s boring, none of the characters seem to believe it, and it literally never comes back so it seems pointless
also, NONE of the things kvothe bragged about in his intro speech ever happen in these books? I'm taking it on faith but I don't think any of them do which means book 3 is going to have a LOT of work to do
one of the hosts posited the idea last episode that PR doesn't seem to understand the concept of character development bc 1. none of his characters in this story seem to undergo genuine change or self-reflection and 2. in his goodreads reviews apparently he's always saying shit like 'hmm, most mysterious how this character started one way and then ended up a different way"
one of the hosts described this book is a fine pinterest board or a really nice tumblr gifset but it has no actual....story
so the women in this section. kvothe's unnamed mother and the sexy contortionist. doing great pat
also kvothe's dad apparently seduced his mom, who is not originally a member of their tribe...okay leaning into some other stereotypes I see
the hosts conclude that women exist (go queen) but they only exist...so men can love them
DOES PR know they're people? difficult to tell
a note: when the chronicler came in initially to be like "oh you I want your story" and he said no the guy was like "I heard...there was a woman involved" and apparently kvothe went sicko mode and in the end was like FINE I SHALL TELL YOU MY TALE
this isn't original, obviously, but it's not even original to redhaired fantasy protagonists of the last 20 years. this is literally a watered-down version of how rand al'thor acts because he's incapable of being normal about women
I remember reading this book and being very creeped out by the objectifying way all the men in the inn would talk about women
so there's some disabled kids in the city with him on the streets which is interesting to one of the hosts because you don't see that a lot but nothing really was done with them so like many things in these books they're just there for the sake of...being there
one of the girls gets her own spinoff book. and its title...now tell me this, whoever's reading. what does the phrase "The Slow Regard of Silent Things" mean to you?
honestly I like how it flows and I'm not opposed to using unusual adjective/noun combinations, but this doesn't really say anything concrete so much as give me a vibe of...reflection. this is a hallmark of PR's writing, where there's not many concrete things explicitly described but more often just the general energy to it. this isn't a bad thing, but I'm not reading that book and i have no plans to. it sounds very...transparent, like there won't be much to it.
but like, he goes on and on about storytelling so much that he never actually tells a story. like he's so up his own ass about how clever he's being that he doesn't actually accomplish anything
oh also this dude our mc who's telling his life story, he's only like in his early to mid twenties. which is actually quite hilarious and a detail I find genuinely interesting. so apparently he was this great legendary figure and did all this stuff and he retired at 22 to be depressed and run a bar? I mean. mood. that's great
anyhow I guess he has this old mentor who's teaching him stuff back before his family was attacked? super original pat 🙄 the wise mentor is a staple of western fantasy. not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's annoying after hearing him talk about how this is such a totally unique story when it is SO generic is so many ways
so in his backstory, our legendary mc's family entire was murdered, he spent some time along in the woods, he came to the city and immediately became a street urchin, and then he went to magic school and was so genius and good at everything, prompting one of the hosts to observe that he "has every single backstory an adventure/fantasy protagonist could possible have"
hm...you know who has a backstory just like that and is also an unparalleled genius and legendary figure who left the world in his early 20s and who is also full of himself and who also has killer monologues about himself and whose character arc is also rife with romantic tragedy and who's also a musician and who also has a sick title the world knows him by and WHO ALSO showed up his teacher in a supernatural-adjacent school? that's right! mfing!!!! wei wuxian babey!!!
but unlike kvothe here he doesn't fucking suck because he's well written and his story has actual themes and a plot and he undergoes character development and has real relationships with people
in conclusion
watch the untamed
#esp if you are or were a fan of the book it does the same things but actually pulls them off#and not to rank character by power levels but wwx could end kvothe#kkc lb

Jan 4, 2023 - a lovely day!!
I just had a really good day today that I want to make sure I remember so I'm making an honest to god blog, a straight up rambling diary entry. Just like I used to on LiveJournal, wow.
I do not expect anyone to read this. I just want to remember my lovely day. It was filled with nostalgia, good food, history, productivity, genuine exercise(?!), photos, and of course, BTS.
I've been on holiday since December 30th because I have a benevolent boss (perks of working at a small company) who lets our annual leave spill over a tiny bit since it's still "Christmas" break. I was socially engaged the nights of Dec29/Jan1 as well as the afternoon of Dec30, plus I was furiously writing updates for the DnD ficlet collection since it was Tae's birthday and trying to finish up Ch1 of the Regency sequel, Pirate fic, whenever I was at home during this time so it did not feel restful at all. It was only on Jan2 where I could pull a Kim Seokjin and completely sequester myself at home and veg out -- woke up at noon and played Stardew Valley for like, 6 hours. Jan3 required me to be a functional adult again so I cleaned the flat and tried to hash out the pirate fic before realising it was going to take wayyyy more work, so I've earmarked Marryat and Forester books to check out from HK Central when I go to CWB on Saturday. (Apparently Jimin has a massive Dior ad on the Sogo screen, so I will also be going there after my haircut. Whoo!!)
Which brings us to January 4th! A Thursday. Historically, Thursdays have been good to me and this was no exception. I woke up later than I intended, around 10 AM, and then the sheer pleasure of being in a comfortable bed without needing to be anywhere stretched my lie-in to 10:30. After the basics of room tidying and washing up, I had leftover pasta for breakfast and played In the Seom while waiting out the 30min I'm supposed to have between eating and taking my Chinese meds. Then it was washing up, getting dressed, packing up the devices after charging them all morning to give myself a little day trip to...
Kowloon City! My childhood 'hood. And now that I've moved back across the harbour, pressing play on The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever while walking out the door meant that by the time I got out in Sung Wong Toi station, my earbuds were appropriately blaring Ma City. (Okay, I did repeat Run because that's my favourite title track.) I made a beeline for Islam Food because I haven't had delicious halal Xinjiang cuisine in forever except I was an unfortunate bee with poor scent receptors since I forgot where it was and ended up looping around Nga Tsin Wai for a while... we were on Converse High by the time I found the resto, that's how long it took. At almost 2 PM was nearly full but not proper crowded, and mostly with older people which is par the course for Kowloon City. As a single I got a tiny table in the corner immediately and ordered a classic beef patty + bok choy and tofu soup. If I were with a larger group, I would have also gotten mutton xiaolongbao, scallion pancakes, and a curry so I will have to drag some people here again soon. Food was prompt and only $65 so I was done eating in 20 minutes tops.
Thanks to climate change, it was a balmy sunny afternoon so I stuffed my jacket into my backpack and headed on over to KCP. It's changed a LOT since I was a teenager -- no Park'n Shop in the basement selling eel and chicken rice boxes for $20 anymore, sigh. But I did get a Coco Milk Tea (half sweet, less ice) for $22 which is a VERY good price nowadays, you can't get anything in Central under $27 minimum ($30 on average) for example and it doesn't even taste as good?? But armed with my delicious tea, I was ready to go out the other way into Carpenter Park, which looks literally the same as when I was a kid. I spent a solid decade running around this park. There isn't a bouncy dinosaur anymore so I know it's not exactly the same, but the bicycle paths are the same, the rock garden where Sam filmed his lightsabre battles is the same... and Kowloon Walled City of course is the same.
...from when I was a child, not when it was THE Walled City. (Once, when everywhere at school was occupied, our drama class rehearsed our play in the Zodiac garden much to the tai-tais' collective chagrins.) Full disclosure that I actually came here in mid-December as well to gather inspo and info for my piece for the Ma City zine which is set in 80s KWC, so this time I didn't go look at the exhibits and just went straight to the chess garden since that's the only spot with tables. I set up my laptop and finished the piece to the soundtrack of construction, which I find very appropriate considering the topic. We don't get planes howling overhead anymore, so this will have to do.
Last time, I had to meet friends islandside for dinner so I actually walked up closer to Wong Tai Sin to take the bus but this time, it was only 4:15 and the day was just for me, for me! So after taking some pics in the bonsai garden in honour of Namjoon, I walked back to Junction Road and that was when I started taking pics for nostalgia -- down the street towards Ho Man Tin for the hundreds of times we ran for the bus stop, then up towards Munsang where my old school campus used to be. No, I didn't go to Munsang, I am very clearly an Intl school kid and we were across from them. The buildings are connected to Bethel Seminary which is Grade II protected so still there. I started walking up Junction Road towards Lok Fu when I saw the Stone Houses and stopped by.
These buildings weren't open when I was a kid; I remember passing them but hardly taking notice. Essentially, they are remnants of the oldest tenement buildings in the area, now refurbished as a cafe and museum. The server in the cafe immediately offered me a menu most kindly, but since it was 4:30 and I was already full on tea I politely declined. Checked out the museum though which is small and all in Chinese, no English, but I think the photos and maps would still be worth it for a non-reader. The whole thing strongly reminded me of the Mei Ho House museum and cafe too, even with their menu which is very Hong Kong cha chaan teng-esque. AND they have wi-fi!! So I'm totally planning on coming back for another writing session.
Since it was barely evening, I decided to hike Checkerboard Hill. Back when Kai Tak was still operating, the only way pilots could land planes was to come from the west, over Tsing Yi and Mei Foo Sun Chuen and barely across Kowloon City. With all the urban area underneath, there couldn't be proper signals so what they did was paint an enormous red-and-white checkerboard on the west and south sides of this hill to let the pilots know it was time to make that sharp 47 degree turn into the harbour airstrip. I distinctly recall being a preteen standing in the middle of the asphalt football (soccer to all y'all Yanks) pitch in Kowloon Tsai Park squinting up and thinking, "Why is it painted like that?" Later as a young adult, I found out. Now in my early 30s, I was going to actually go there.
Now ever since my former regular dance studio became a Covid cluster in 2020 and I also joined a choir whose rehearsals took its place on Monday evenings, I am far less fit than I could be. This was evident when I started up this hill -- which was NOT HARD at all, I am just pathetically out of shape. It took less than 15 minutes to reach the summit garden, where I did another confused bumblebee loop looking for the checkerboard and instead found: the electricity station, the weather station, some diligently preserved water tunnels from the 1940s-60s, and an irate woman screaming and swearing at a couple who accidentally took their dogs into the no-pets zone of the park. With the dulcet notes of "diu! bak po!" echoing behind me, I snapped some lovely views of Lion Rock then surreptitiously googled how to get to the checkerboard, discovering that indeed I was supposed to clamber over the stile and carefully tread the VERY narrow ditch outside of the fence (with a super steep slope studded with trees not a foot to the right) to get there.
So I did and the view was beautiful!! I was lucky to reach it at the twilight hour with an orange sun tinging everything as it moseyed on down to the horizon. Facing south you could see all of Kowloon City, all the way to Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay on the left and Yau Tsim Mong on the right! Directly in front was even the IFC across the harbour. Directly below, Kowloon Tsai Park and those very sports fields from my youth. Somebody named Zach was playing tennis because his partner kept yelling encouragement, but I felt if I cheered "Yeah Zach, you can do it!" back down at them it would be creepy. So instead I took a lot of photos here, including some selfies on the middle layer smack centre of the checkerboard in which it was clear that I truly need a haircut which will happen under Jimin's watchful gaze in CWB come Saturday.
Finally, I climbed down the stairs and was sorely tempted to jump a gate to get into Kowloon Tsai because I know that park like the back of my foot (like, not SUPER well since it's been a long time but I would not get lost; I've run cross country around this park so many times) but in the end was a Good Honest Civilian and went back the way I came. I was feeling incredibly nostalgic at this point, so back on Junction Road I popped in my earbuds and replaced BTS with the Used for that extra mid-2000s angst. Spotify understood the brief and fed me Taking Back Sunday and Yellowcard while I followed the usual path through Morse Park, the way my almost-first-boyfriend Darren taught me in middle school. His favourite band was Jimmy Eat World, so it was perfect. With the memories of Preston's dad teaching me to play baseball on the artificial turf and when Grace came with me to Jusco so we could buy Neopets tamagotchis, I descended into the MTR and took the train home.
(At my stop, I got groceries including sushi for dinner, which I ate while watching Beyond the Star then after a break, took a massage in the chair while playing Stardew because my body is already paying the price for my impromptu hike today. Then I wrote this down before I could forget everything.)
It was a wonderful day, truly. I did everything I wanted to do and a little more, and I know what I want to do again when I inevitably come back. Hong Kong is changing because everything changes, but being in Kowloon City felt like nestling into a warm divot in the blankets. Like Joon said, you couldn't pay me millions to want to be from anywhere else. Like Hobi said, the heat will get to you but it's charged with the passion of its people. I'll be riding and dying in ma city until there's no other choice, which I know is sooner rather than later but for now, it's still Ma City.

hiraeth! how are you doing today?
got a 59, 35, 42. 56 and 57 for your ask game.
it's a lot BUT I AM I N T R I G U E D
hehe! hey pretty <3 feel free to ask more, because i love intrigued people 🤭
35) favorite subject
i've ALWAYS, always had an affinity for music no matter what. i realized it late though, but because of my mom's wants of me being good at music in general, i developed a natural talent for teaching violin/piano in my own way that amazes her.
e.g. i helped a clearly struggling student of hers, and it was the day of the performance + we only had 1-2 hours of practice left, a piano student, she was having a hard time with counting the beats, and being on beat, having trouble with pacing as well, which i picked up almost immediately, and my mom was busy making preparations so she couldn't help. but i stood up and decided to because i just- idk? i really just wanted to help!
and i wasn't aware that this certain action of mine would lead to a successful performance, with a damn headmistress of a school offering me a free college scholarship because of my own performance + my sudden deeds
bam. (i think i overshared and retold my story about the free college scholarship lmao)
more info under cut! ❤︎
42) favorite books
hrm, i don't have a lot of books to read in this time now BUT
my favorite books growing up was diary of a wimpy kid (i swear i was so addicted to it, and i finished all books of it, PLUS THE MOVIE??? RODRICK??? OMG)
those fairy books i forgot the names but i think the titles were literal names of the fairies? idfk
bridgerton (cough) i'm a sucker for this genre
i can't think of anything else since i dont read much anymore, but i want to say that my favorite genres are; fantasy, romance, dark mature content (no, not 50 shades of grey) smut duh, sci-fi and i think thats pretty much it!
need recommendations... i wanna read some books where we flirt with some shadowy, dark eldritch horror or even the grim reaper himself (im so fucked omg)
56) favorite food
ITALIAN FOOD BABY, but i've been growing fond of uhh... chicken liver. i'm also really open to trying lots of things
ranking: most favorite
1. italian cuisine
2. fried japanese foods
3. korean cheese tteokbokki and tteokkochi
4. tbh convenience stores go hard too for my broke ass
5. philippines food
pizza reigns supreme.
...along with fries dipped in ice cream.
57) favorite animal
cats. any cat. (except for the furless ones im sorry)
cats remind me of scaramouche, lyney, neuvillette, blade and jing yuan so much, i wanna have a black cat along with a white one with gold eyes.
59) why i joined tumblr
now this... hrm
i genuinely forgot why i suddenly downloaded the app... shit.
dammit, i forgot. fuck. i just know i joined when me and my ex were at an all time low and the verge of breaking up.
i remember why i stayed and decided to write myself, i got inspired, heavily inspired and horny from the star rail fics i kept encountering, like my sexual drive just went through the roofs because of this certain welt yang x stellaron hunter blowjob fic, and some aspects of it, like welt and her not trying to get caught — my cynosure reader is inspired by that, doing lewd shit in secret.
and then i kept encountering fics, over and over. showering support to all which was so rejuvenating for my mental health, and then i encountered nat's al haitham fic, encountered you through my first story, and nat's mutual who guided me when i received anon little shits talking about my tagging lmao, yall were the three pillars that kickstarted my writing career genuinely
but if i can try harder to remember why i joined tumblr... i was uhhh, i was heavily depressed, dealing with my ex's shit, life, etc, and i was just mindlessly looking for something, anything, to give me energy, anything eventful for my overly draining situation.
that's all! ehe, ily aine <3

**not sure if i’m blocked, but my post seems to have disappeared so i figured i would post again about this post from @offtorivendell about gwyn's age being problematic when shipping gwynriel:
i’m trying very hard to understand the intent behind this. because reading this whole thing, saying that gwyn is basically a young teen in fae years, sounds like an insinuation that anyone who ships her with az is ok with child abuse/pedophilia. i get you said this take is not to be hurtful and you would be respectful, but this is how it sounds.
let’s say for arguments sake this was a genuine concern when reading. that you are just a concerned gwyn fan who doesn’t want her to be in a compromising relationship. i’ll humor this post as best as i can.
the fact that she talked about how she was not able to participate in the great rite, not because of her age, but because of her location - being remote - leads me to believe she’s old enough to be in a sexual relationship with a fae male. considering the great rite doesn’t pair people up based on their age bracket and it’s just a fun orgy for the fae one can assume she could have paired up with a 20 year old fae, an 80 year old, a 578 year old... so claiming she’s too young for this doesn’t make sense. next.
alis and her nephews are urisks. they are not high fae or river nymphs. they age at a significantly slower rate. that alis quote was pointing out how difficult it is for her species and the high fae to reproduce. it was pointing out why both covet their young. the reason tarquin is considered a young high lord is he’s the youngest one and also he hasn’t had a chance to rule since he was crowned UtM. that’s why they talk about him being idealistic, he’s not used to court politics - which he admits when with feyre. he doesn’t have the cynicism the others have due to his age and time ruling. next.
rhys himself was 28 years of age when the war started 500 years ago. that means cassian, azriel, and mor were all around the same age. they were old enough to fight and have sex. cassian and mor had sex with each other, but no one claims they were too young to be having sex. cassian was in a relationship with a valkyrie, a seasoned warrior, during the war. i haven’t seen anyone write a post about how cassian was a victim of statutory rape. 28 is not a child in their world. next.
if we are putting this creepy feel onto gwynriel, that gwyn is too young for azriel, then we most definitely need to put that title onto feysand, nessian, elriel, elucien, feylin....literally every ship in this universe aside from elain x graysen and feyre x isaac hale (her mortal barn boy in case anyone forgot). having been mortal at one time does not exclude them from the “he’s too old for her” title. they’re all younger than gwyn. wow, what pervs. next.
azriel saved gwyn so there’s a power dynamic... ok so guess that means elriel is out. feysand too since feyre saved all of prythian. guess she’ll have to go to the continent for some lovin’. cassian, sorry nesta saved you so now she holds too much power over you. do you see how bad that argument is? saving someone does not disrupt the power dynamic. especially when these characters are equals. gwyn did not train for months and complete the blood rite not to be considered an equal to azriel. next.
gwyn sounds younger than everyone... ok, but she’s not. she grew up sheltered. her only sexual experience was violent. that’s why she doesn’t read smut as easily as emerie or nesta. reading adventure books does not make her a child. it speaks to her desire to be her own hero, to be a warrior, which she now is. and sorry, but truth teller is a pretentious af name. silver majesty >>> truth teller any day lol. as for the friendship bracelets, sure that was very “tweens at summer camp” moment, but it was to signify that gwyn has found a sisterhood with nesta and emerie. if we’re gonna use this as evidence that gwyn is too young then we can also use nesta making an imaginary friend real (the house) and nesta asking said imaginary friend to make a miniature pegasus. the entire slumber party scene had the tween girl feel to it, but you’re not claiming nesta or emerie as childish...
i don’t care what people ship. you want to ship elain and koschei go for it. you want a thrupple with mor, nesta, and the bone carver fucking have fun! i just don’t think it’s appropriate to make a post to talk about a ship that implies anyone shipping it would be supporting pedophilia. because this is essentially what you are saying. that gwyn is technically a teen in fae years so shipping her with az is problematic. i will give you the benefit of the doubt and say you did not mean to imply this, but it’s a bad take. let people ship what they want in peace.
