platonic!sagau seeing you cry behind the screen (freminet, yaoyao, ningguang, neuvillette, lisa)

notes: inspired by me having a rough day and crying while i farmed mats LOL (also neuvillette’s is mostly my own hc for him, sorry if it’s ooc)

freminet:

panic

probably keeps putting his helmet on. it’s not that he doesn’t want to help, it’s just that he doesn’t know how…

tries extra hard in any fights to try to make things a little easier. this, at least, is one way he can help, even if only a little. his damage output is higher, his cds are shorter, he’s powering through any hits he takes - not enough for you to notice anything odd, but enough to speed up any annoying commissions.

(lyney and lynette might be a little upset at him later for pushing himself too hard - though they understand more when he explains. they would do the same for you, after all.)

if he knows you like pers and who doesn’t, he’ll do his idle animation holding the mechanical penguin more often (hopefully you’re not paying too much attention, though, because you might find it odd that he’s wearing his helmet during the pers idle animation…)

yaoyao:

surprisingly, she’s actually not too worried - even if she doesn’t like seeing you sad, she knows you’re strong enough to pull through whatever it is that’s upsetting you.

but just because you can handle it doesn’t mean she can’t help!

any of her voicelines that you think are cute, you’ll suddenly be hearing much more. (although it is a bit odd to hear her talking about the “silly frogs” when it’s not even raining.)

any cooking you do seems to go much better than usual - not only are you getting specialties first try, but you get high quality dishes without even trying.

(you might also find a few extra qingce household dishes in your inventory.)

ningguang:

she already wishes she could whisk you off to liyue. this is not helping.

whenever she sees you sad, she thinks about how well she could take care of you if you were in teyvat; thinks of the gifts she already has prepared, the spare room she keeps unoccupied just so she’s ready for whenever you decide it’s time to descend. seeing you cry just heightens those feelings.

her voice might sound a bit harsher than normal, but it’s not directed to you - rather, to whatever it is that has upset you.

whenever her idle animations play, she tries to summon brighter, sparklier gems than normal, hoping that the sight will lift your spirits, or at least take your mind off your problems.

if you stop at any shops in liyue, the prices might be mysteriously lower than normal. not by enough for you to notice, but enough to save you at least some trouble - the loss of a few thousand mora is nothing to ningguang, if it can help you even a little.

neuvillette:

hydro dragon, hydro dragon, don’t cry!

for some reason, when you’re sad, fontaine is always raining…

neuvillette hates seeing you upset. as someone who has spent much time crying himself, he knows what it’s like to suffer in silence - something he would never want for you. he hopes that being with him, even with a barrier inbetween, makes you feel less alone.

he longs to wipe your tears away, but that’s not an option behind the screen, so he’ll settle for smaller ways to cheer you up.

if you go underwater, you might notice more sea creatures than usual; not attacking you or even interacting with you, but just… hovering around, sharing neuvillette’s desire to brighten your spirits.

neuvillette’s voicelines will also sound quieter; not quite a whisper, but definitely softer than normal. it’s not an extreme difference, but he hopes you find his voice comforting.

lisa:

seeing her cutie sad just breaks her heart!

speaking of cutie, you might notice her tacking the nickname onto the end of voicelines that don’t normally have it.

lisa wishes she could rest your head in her lap and read to you - never has she hated the barrier between you so much!

similar to freminet, lisa puts her all into any fights you bring her to. it doesn’t matter if it’s a slime or the fatui, she’s hitting them with enough lightning to completely fry them, trying to wrap up any fights you need to complete as fast as possible so you can relax.

although she wants to spend as much time with you as she can, she knows that she shouldn’t be selfish, and that often sleep is the best medicine for heartache. for once, she’s not just upset when you leave - she’s also hopeful you’ll come back smiling.

There was once a beautiful princess who was engaged to a prince from a faraway land. The match was arranged from their birth, and the princess’s whole young life was spent preparing for the marriage. But when she finally met the prince, only a week before their wedding, she found him intolerably arrogant and cruel.

“I would rather marry the devil,” she said to herself, and that night, a devil appeared at her bedroom window.

He swept into the room on a gust of air and stood there as tall as the ceiling, a great big beast with long sharp claws and teeth, wide leathery wings and a tail that whipped back and forth with feral excitement. He fell to his knees on the floor before her, and took her little hands in his.

“I’ve come to steal you away,” he said.

“To where?” demanded the princess.

He scooped her up in his enormous arms. “To my castle,” he said with his fangs at her ear.

He took her to the open window and launched back into the night, catching the air with his powerful wings and carrying the princess away.

They flew through the night for many miles, until they came to a beautiful palace carved from soft white stone, its spiraling towers gleaming with moonlight against the dark mountains. They went in through a tall tower window and landed in a bedroom decorated with dark wood and soft white silks. The devil laid the princess down on a soft bed, where she fell asleep.

The next morning she woke up alone in the beautiful room, and waited for the devil to come to her, which he did before long.

“How did you know that I wanted you last night?” she asked.

“The devil always comes when he is called,” he replied. “I’ve brought you here to make you my bride, lovely one. Will you accept?”

“I will accept,” said the princess, “but only if you court me according to the customs of my people.”

“Tell me what I must do,” said the devil.

“On the first night,” said the princess, “you must bring me a beautiful jewel.”

“It will be done,” said the devil, but just then, there came the sounds of a commotion outside. They went to the window and saw an army of a hundred men at the castle gates, led by the cruel and arrogant prince.

“He’s come to take you back,” said the devil.

“Don’t let him,” said the princess.

“Yes, my lady,” said the devil. He spread his wide wings and flew down from the tower window to meet the men at the gates. All day long, the princess watched through the window as they did battle. The human men were no match for the devil’s terrible claws and teeth. By sunset he had driven them all away. The princess was glad, but she saw that he’d had no time to collect any jewels for her.

“Where is my jewel?” she asked coyly, when the devil returned to her room.

“Here it is, beautiful one,” said the devil. In his hands was a perfect round orange that he’d plucked from a tree in the garden, with a dark green leaf still attached. He peeled it open in his great claws to reveal the segments of soft flesh, faceted and sparkling like gems. The princess was delighted, and she allowed the devil to feed her the soft sweet slices.

He returned to her the next morning, ready for his second task.

“What next, my lady?” he asked.

“On this second night,” said the princess, “you must serenade me with a beautiful song.”

“It will be done,” said the devil, but just then, there was another great commotion at the castle gates. They went to the window and saw that the prince had returned with an army of a thousand men.

“So many this time…” said the princess.

“I won’t let them take you,” the devil said to her. He leapt out the bedroom window and flew down to face the army of men. All day long, the princess sat at the window and watched the ferocious battle taking place. This time the devil summoned mighty winds full of dust and hale, and jets of fire that shot up out of the earth, and he cut through through shields and armor with fiery swords. By the end of the day, he had driven the army away yet again. The princess was very impressed, but she knew he’d had no time to tune his instruments or practice his songs.

“Where are your instruments?” she asked, when the devil returned to her room.

“Let me take you to them,” he said, and gathered her up in his arms. He leapt out of the window with her—a thing the princess was somehow getting used to—and they flew away from the castle, to a hidden gorge tucked between two mountains, where a little winding brook burbled through a meadow of soft grass spotted with trees.

The devil set the princess down on her feet in the grass.

“I see nothing,” she said.

“You must listen,” said the devil.

She listened, and she noticed that the chuckling babble of the brook was almost like a soft little song, and the crickets hidden in the grass all around were rubbing their legs together like bows on strings, like a tiny little orchestra. And when the wind blew, it whooshed deeply through the walls of the gorge, rustling the leaves of the trees, and every so often an owl hooted too. It was as lovely as music, and they stood together listening for most of the night, until the devil carried her back to the bedroom so she could sleep.

He returned to her the next morning. “What must I do next?” he said.

“This is the final night of our courting,” she said, "and you must prepare a grand feast.”

“It will be done,” said the devil. But they both listened for the telltale sounds of swords and marching feet, and heard them, and going to the window they saw that the prince had arrived at the gates once again, leading an army of ten thousand men.

“Let them take me back,” said the princess, looking over the vast army. "You'll be hurt."

“Don’t be afraid,” said the devil, “for I cannot be felled by mortal men.” He went out through the window and flew to meet the oncoming army. And as he flew he grew, twenty feet tall, fifty feet, one hundred, one thousand feet tall, until he landed on the battlefield with a thunderous crash, towering over the terrified army. Many men turned and fled right then. But the arrogant prince would not be dissuaded, and he led the remaining men against the beast. Their swords and arrows were practically useless, their horses were wild with terror, and their morale drained away like sand through a sieve.

The battle finally ended in the evening. The prince had limped away in secret, defeated for the final time. Many men lay dead, while those still living scattered into the mountains. The devil slowly returned to his original size, lying down in the dirt among the dead, unharmed but exhausted from his great transformation. The princess left the palace and went to him, and took his large clawed hand in hers.

“Forgive me, lovely one,” he said, “for I have prepared no feast for you.”

“No?” asked the princess, looking around. Hundreds of ravens had descended upon the battlefield, already tearing into the fresh corpses, and wolves and lions were emerging from the woods to join them. “I think the feast is already under way,” said the princess, “and the guests are enjoying it very much.”

The devil laughed wickedly at that. “I think you might be a bit of a devil yourself,” he said. They were married on the next evening, and they are still living happily to this day.

happy birthday azul

honestly i skipped the summon so i dont have a screenshot lol, and id already tapped out of the screen before i had the thought of 'maybe i should screenshot' so here.

coincidentally, i just started the story where we meet him for the first time lol. took those gems gained from the fight and then nom. also i think my characters are criminally underleveled. Like. i do lessons often when it gets refilled but ive been putting it towards leveling other characters. like.

off topic time

so i looked at titles on the wiki. and people had really cool titles with their own stuff. and i kind of wanted my own.

i groovified like the ceremonial robes riddle and the like normal uniform one. i dont know what the name of it is called but like the average uniform where the only difference is the color shirt and stuff i think (if you zoom in, you can see a groovified dorm uniform riddle lol)

but so that kinda means i wasted a bunch of materials for characters im never using

talking about characters i have

My normal team:

Riddle (Dorm Uniform), Epel (Dorm Uniform), Idia(? I think) apprentice chef i think w/ ace, and the 5th is usually support character (as in someone else's) i think but for lessons i had like labwear kalim.

but. uh. so now i have azul. so i guess i need to replace one of the chefs??? (i mean ace can still be there during lessons since there's room but he probably wont be used again. ...wonder if itd ever be a good idea in games to have a button to undo all the materials you spent on something so you can re-use it)

probably ace because they're both red and green (don't ask me what spells there are i dont know, im horrible at remembering what does what in turn-based games, its a godsend theres auto)

edit: in a battle Azul (the game one): How poor and unfortunate you are (or something like that).

My Azul: How poor and unfortunate you are.

its always kind of really funny when they both say the same thing cause they're the same person. happened with riddle too. i dont use leona tho so missed opportunity for last book

If jaune was a relative of Lucy pretty sure he has his own branch of celestial magic....more similar to slayer

Lucy: Celestial Spirit mage

Jaune: Eikon Spirit mage

"Thank you." Jaune said to the waiter as he placed his coffee and saucer on the table. He nodded and left.

"Wow," Lucy remarked, "you actually thanked him politely!"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Uh, let's just say meeting someone who isn't wild and rowdy is a bit of fresh air for me."

"I have a teammate just like that."

"Try a whole guild of them." The two shared a laugh.

Jaune was a distant cousin's of Lucy's, but a close relative regardless. Before her father passed, he spent some time with the Arc family. He spoke highly of her to Jaune and his sisters, and those words nearly broke her. Thankfully, Jaune had tissues on hand.

"So," Jaune said after taking a sip of his coffee, "you're a Celestial Wizard."

"Mhm, that's right." Lucy replied. "And if I recall, you said you're an Eikon Summoner in your letters."

"Yeah." Jaune tugged at his chest plate and withdrew a necklace of four gems: red, blue, green, and yellow. "These are the four I've found on my journeys."

"Oh, wow!" Lucy admired. "I can feel the magical power coming from them already!"

"Just wait until their summoned!" Jaune chuckled.

"So, how does Eikon Summoning work?"

"I take the Cataclysm Crystals from here, and I call out an incantation. Wherever it lands is where it'll be summoned."

"Wow, your guild must be so lucky to have someone as rare as you!"

"I wouldn't say that." Jaune awkwardly chuckled. "There are plenty of better wizards at Beacon's Light than me."

"Yeah, but they can't do it without you." Lucy smiled. "Believe me, there's nothing wrong with letting someone else take all the action. Just so long as you're there for them, too."

Jaune smiled. "Thanks, Lucy." Jaune took another sip. "I'm glad I have a wise older cousin like you."

"I'm not that old!" Lucy whined. "I'm still sixteen!"

"Sure you are, Lucy," Jaune rolled his eyes, "just like you were sixteen when you joined Fairy Tail."

"I was!" Lucy put her head on the table. "Stupid island and it's seven year gap."

Jaune chuckled. "Would it make you feel better if I told you about my Eikon?"

"Yeah, it would!" Lucy perked right up.

"Okay, which one would you like to learn about first?" The gemstones clattered as Jaune lifted his necklace. The light reflected off each of them, making them glitter.

"Who is this one?" Lucy asked, pointing to the yellow on the far right.

"This is Titan." Jaune explained. "He's really powerful. I watched him lift an entire castle just to crush a monster."

"Wow... I don't think any of my Spirits can do that! He must be really powerful!"

"Yeah, he is, but," Jaune scratched the back of his neck, "he's also very, uh, not good with complicated tasks. Honestly, using him can feel like talking to a child. But I just can't scold him. He's too much of a sweetheart."

"Sounds a lot like one of my friends at the guild," Lucy gave a weak smile, "but he also sounds a lot like Virgo. She's scary strong, but she means well." As Jaune nodded, she pointed to the green gem next to Titan. "Who's this?"

"This is Garuda," Jaune answered, "she's probably the fastest of them all. Not surprising, since she's a Wind spirit. She can speak to birds, who are chatty about everything they see."

"She sounds really useful!" Lucy leaned in. "What else can she do?"

"She, uh, likes to sing." Jaune weakly offered. "But, uh, not really well. But she's very sweet, and she's always willing to help me."

"Sounds a bit like Aries." Lucy replied. "She's super sweet and is really useful, but she can also be really timid in a fight."

"Yeah, it's not easy putting your neck on the line for someone else, so I can understand that." Jaune nodded. "That's two down. Who else do you want to learn about?"

"Who's this one?" Lucy pointed to the red on the opposite far end. "Something tells me this is a Fire spirit."

"Mhm." Jaune nodded. "This is Ifrit, and he's kind of, uh... strict."

"How strict?"

"He won't do anything unless I complete my workout routine."

"What's your routine?"

"One hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, and one hundred squats."

"That sounds intense." Lucy grimaced.

"It is." Jaune sighed. "Do you have anyone who refuses to do anything unless you do something for them first?"

"Do you mean my Celestial Spirits, or in my guild," Lucy asked, "because I can name them from either."

"I was thinking your spirits."

"Then Taurus." Lucy answered. "He has trouble doing things for me unless I give him an incentive."

"Like what?" Jaune asked. As Lucy grimaced, Jaune waved his hand. "On second thought, nevermind." He held up the blue gem. "That just leaves Shiva, the Ice spirit, and my first one." He smiled. "Honestly, she's helped me out so much, I can't imagine my life without her."

Lucy didn't answer. She just stared at the empty key-ring on her keychain. The same ring where Aquarius once hung. She could still remember her scolding voice.

"Lucy?" She looked up to her cousin, who wore a worried expression. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just," she gave a sad smile, "just thinking about an old friend."

Jaune nodded. "Yeah, that happens to me, too." Jaune's hand instinctively moved to his side, where a red sash hung from his belt.

Volume Two, Chapter One

“I have the perfect plan!”

After finishing her homework, Twilight Sparkle stared at the bulletin board on her wall as she tried to brainstorm her friendship plan.

She’d gathered information from other students at Canterlot High, and as it would seem, the hatred - or fear - of Sunset Shimmer was a universal feeling.

Twilight recalled her first meeting with Sunset.

It wasn’t the most pleasant either, but… on that same day, she had the privilege of discovering a different side to the seemingly mean girl.

“Are you really trying to get them to team up with Shimmer?”

Twilight turned around. The white fairy with dead red eyes stared at her from her bed.

“Oh, you’re here.”

“You’re wasting your time, you know? Magical girls don’t trust others that easily. Besides, Sunset Shimmer doesn’t have a contract with me, so she’ll just be a liability to them.”

“Sunset saved my life.” Twilight murmured. “She’s a good person, I just need find a way to show them that!”

Kyubey seemed to have caught onto something.

“How could a human like her save your life?”

She remained silent.

“Unless…”

“Listen, Kyubey,” She stopped him before he could say anything else. “I really appreciate your… constructive criticism, But I need to be alone to think right now.”

The little creature stood still for a moment, analyzing the human. Then, he simply nodded and leaped out the window.

Back to the bulletin board, Twilight thought to herself,

“Sunset and I became friends because I had the opportunity to see a different side of her when she saved my life.

She walked in circles, pondering.

“So all I have to do is make that happen another five times over again! Twilight Sparkle, you’re a genius!”

However, amidst her flash of inspiration, Twilight remembered something.

“Oh, right. How’s Sunset supposed to save everyone else if she’s a regular human and they’re magical girls? Agh! I didn’t think about that!” She lightly hit her own head. “Stupid! Stupid!”

At the corner of her room, her dog Spike barked softly. She turned around to see him sniffing a pink orb surrounded by a gold encagement. Her soul gem.

“That’s right!” She picked it up and held it over her head. “I’m also a magical girl! I can just create magical problems and help Sunset magically solve them!”

Spike whimpered.

“Shut up, it’s a great idea! I’ve got it totally under control.”

The next morning, Twilight Sparkle woke up earlier than usual and stopped by Sunset Shimmer’s house on her way to school.

Ding

Dong!

The doorbell rang. Sunset opened the door, to find her friend standing with a bright spark of determination in her eyes.

“Oh, hey Twi…”

“Sunset!” She enthusiastically interrupted. “I have the perfect plan to get everyone to totally like you!”

“Huh? You’re still on about that?”

“Still on? Hah!” She snorted. “I spent all night coming up with it!”

“What?”

“Don’t worry about it. Just listen. Here, see, this is a soul gem.” She took out the tiny fabergé egg out of her pocket. “Magical girls need these things to transform and use their magic. If we lost them, It would be pretty bad.” Twilight said with a tone that almost made it seem like she was trying to tell a joke.

“I-I guess it would be?” Sunset wasn’t really following her friend’s train of thought.

“So,” She put the soul gem back inside her pocket. “Here’s the plan; I’m gonna use magic to summon a fake witch. Then, I’m gonna call everyone to fight it. But, while nobody’s looking, I’ll steal Fluftershy’s soul gem!”

“You’re gonna WHAT?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll give it to you! And then, when she realizes she’s lost it and starts totally panicking, you can give it back to her and save the day!”

“Twilight!”

“What?”

“She’s just gonna think I stole it in the first place!”

“No way! Fluttershy loses stuff all the time. Just say you found it on the ground or something. Trust me, it’s the perfect plan.”

Sunset slapped her own face in distress.

“Twilight, I really appreciate you doing this for me, but…”

“You do? I’m glad! Let’s go then! We have a long day ahead of us!” She took her by the hand, not listening to anything else Sunset Shimmer had to say.

“We sure do…”

Lunch. The perfect hour of the school day when Twilight Sparkle knew all five of the magical girls would be together. They sat at a table in the corner of the cafeteria with no one else. Twilight reached out the hand with a magical silver ring on it towards Fluttershy’s school bag. She didn’t know how it worked, but she knew she had magic flowing through her soul. And magic can do anything. Repeating those thoughts to herself, slowly but surely, the Peach-colored soul gem fell out of Fluttershy’s bag, and dragged itself towards Twilight’s hands.

“Got it!” She yelled thriumpantly. A couple of students turned around and stared at her for a few moments. “Sorry…”

The commotion warned the magical girls.

“Twilight?” Applejack said. “What’re you doin’ on the ground?”

Alarmed, Twilight quickly hid the gem behind her back. This wasn’t how the plan was supposed to go, but whatever.

“Oh! Um, I-I came to get you guys, because…. There’s a witch! In the Gymnasium!”

“There’s a witch in the gym?!” They all shouted in unison.

Rainbow Dash jumped on top of the table, propelling herself forward.

“This one’s mine!”

“Rainbow, Be careful!” Applejack ran after her.

“Come on, girls!” Rarity stood up. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie nodded.

As they were leaving the cafeteria, the fashionista turned back for a moment. “Twilight, we could use your help.”

“Oh!” Twilight suddenly remembered that she, too, was a magical girl. “Yeah. I’ll be right behind you.” She lied.

Once they all had left, She quickly strutted towards the rooftop, where she knew Sunset always ate lunch alone.

“Sunset!! I got it!!” She waved the soul gem in her hand.

The red haired girl nearly choked on her food.

“Twilight! You actually went through with that crazy plan?!”

“Yeah! And it worked! Here, hold this and be at the gymnasium in about, like, five minutes.” She handed over the soul gem. “I have a witch to conjure!”

Twilight left as quickly as she arrived. Sunset, however, was left standing shocked in place. She looked at the soul gem in her hands. It let out a strange glow, almost as if it were in pain.

“This can’t be good…”

Before entering the gym, Twilight quickly transformed into her magical girl attire. Breathing in deeply, she gently opened the door.

And she found

Four

Girls

Standing there

And

On the ground,

A corpse.

Being a person who play Skyrim for the millionth time rn myself I can totally relate. And wow, your character is gorgeous. Please tell me more about him! (surely being a sexy vampire is not the whole deal about him)

I AM VERY EXCITE TO TALK ABOUT HIM.

I came up with a light backstory so far, it does have concepts that are triggering but I'm not going into detail. (TW: child abuse, cults, child of coldharbour)

His name is Azrael (partly because one of the companions can say that name lol), he's a trans nonbinary guy (like meeee, also skyrim has a pronoun mod which is 🔥🔥)

So he's a vampire that's been alive for about 150 years, and when he was still mortal and young, he was born into a cult dedicated to Molag Bal, his whole life he was mistreated, he wasn't supposed to be born. For the longest time he didn't even have a concept of self.

So when he came of age, this cult offered him as a sacrifice on Molag Bal's summoning day, he wasn't supposed to survive.

And because he survived, he became a child of coldharbour, forever bound to that damnable daedric prince.

Because of his survival, he rose through the cult ranks and was touted as some kind of chosen one. Well, because of this shift he was able to bide his time and plan his revenge.

Eventually he was able to send them all to the soul cairn ala soul gems. (To me, going to there is a fate worse than true death!)

Then he spent a couple decades wandering tamriel, he spent a lot of time doing new things, and engaging in complex introspection to try and be more than just his upbringing.

He came to skyrim by chance, he was hearing rumors of a steadily growing vampire presence, and he's been taking it upon himself to kill all evil vampires and daedric cultists, partly for justice, mostly for revenge against molag bal.

Bow he's trying to find his place in the world amongst the cold environment of Skyrim, and with the new people he's forged relationships with.

When he found out he was the dragon born he was like... "Where the fuck were the gods when I needed them??!??!" So he hates the divines. Maybe exception for Kyne.

(also if anyone wants to talk about their own characters... PLEASE DO. Skyrim is my comfort game big time)

The Red Light (Episode 4)

Dante wakes up groggy, realizing he fell asleep at a bar. He and Nolan prepare for a trip, discussing their pasts along the way. They stumble upon a burnt building, presumably Typhon's hideout, and find a letter revealing Dante is Typhon's son. Placing a gem in a hole in the wall, Dante summons Typhon, who reveals his demonic features. Typhon offers Dante a choice to join him, and Dante agrees to save his life. They meet Typhon's right-hand man, Mercury, and are directed to sleep in barracks for the night.

. Dante awoke with a groan.

"Great, you're awake," said Nolan, the source of the door opening. "You're fucking heavy, you know that?"

Dante responded with nothing but another noise of complaint.

"I had to fucking carry you up here. You fell asleep at the bar. And after one drink? That's sad," continued Nolan, tossing Dante's bag to him.

"Hey, hey. I'm not a fucking light-weight. My head was full last night."

"Yeah, full of shit," joked Nolan.

The two prepared for their trip with breakfast from the tavern, talking over whether or not it was a good decision in the first place, Dante still groggy from waking up.

Eventually they headed out, having bought steeds off the island they set out. A few hours of riding passed when Nolan went to ask Dante a question only to be met with silence. Nolan yelled a bit louder and Dante startled.

"What do you want, Nolan, I was sleeping."

"Sleeping?" asked Nolan, gesturing to Dante who had been sitting straight up.

"Typhon's soldiers were taught to sleep sitting up on horseback for long rides. It hurts your back like hell-fire but I'm tired."

Dante moved around as though locking his spine up straight.

"Tired?" asked Nolan. "All you've done is sleep."

Dante gave an annoyed sigh, returning to a comfortable sitting position.

"I don't know," said Dante. "I keep having the same dream over and over."

"Of what?"

. Dante explained his repeated dream. How he could never quite see around him, yet he could hear and feel. He explained how one of the men's voices sounded so familiar, yet it seemed a little higher than what he recognized.

Nolan responded with nothing but a noise of confusion.

"Hey, don't look at me for answers," shrugged Dante.

"You're the one tripping balls," responded Nolan.

Eventually the two made camp long after the sun had set. A nice warm fire sat between two sleeping bags.

"What about you?" asked Dante, throwing a few more logs into the fire that seemed to linger just a bit longer in Dante's eyes than it should have. "You asked about my parents when we met, where are yours?"

Nolan suddenly seemed very interested in the floor between him and the fire. "I watched them die," said Nolan. "Shot out of the air by poachers. They came after our wings."

"Looks like both of us didn't know our parents for long. I don't even know who mine were. Hell, I don't even have a last name."

The two spent the rest of the night swapping stories about raising themselves, trouble they've gotten into over the years and stories of escaping jail time. The next morning they set off again.

The ride was long, forest filled and cold but long into the afternoon, their horses started to push through ash. It looked as though a fire had ripped through there years ago, yet the dust remained as a painful reminder until the trees stopped. A large building sat in the middle of an empty, burnt, field. The building itself stood tall but black marks of charred brick remained there.

"Ha," Dante laughed. "The building is bricked up."

Nolan responded with nothing but a face-palm.

. The first room they stepped into was the remains of a bar. Burnt and broken shelves lined the back wall, covered by a countertop covered in broken glass. The room looked like it would have been beautiful in its prime, but now it was covered in ash and debris.

"No-o," complained Dante jokingly. "The beer is broken."

Nolan laughed and made his way to the hallway connected. A door with a broken lock sat cracked open and Nolan made his way inside.

A single chair sat inside, covered in blood with chains hastily thrown to the side. Dante poked his head in after Nolan and pointed to small clumps of fur scattered across the floor.

"Look," said Dante, stepping inside. "It's Cadm's fur."

They had stumbled into where Cadm had been tortured.

"It smells like a dungeon in here, let's go," said Nolan, pushing past Dante to get back to the hallway.

The two headed through the hallway to a glass spiral staircase that seemed to be held up by a large ram's horn. Quickly, they made their way up and were met with another hallway, this one crested off with a door that had a sigil of a ram with a crown: Typhon's sigil.

"Is this where we're supposed to go?" asked Nolan, kicking a few doors open.

"Well, we came for letters didn't we? Those would be in his office and I assume that's it."

The door at the end of the hallway flung open with a kick. The room looked as though it had been ravaged. It was clearly where the fire started as it had the most black ash and broken furniture. The smell of blood lingered in the air from two dried puddles of blood, one beside a chair, the other in the middle of the floor. But most eye catching was a hole in the wall with ripples of red covering the surrounding wall. But Dante's mesmerizing was interrupted by Nolan opening a letter on Typhon's desk. A letter from a man named Mercury was inside. The paper detailed the following:

"Typhon. A few nights ago, as of this letter reaching you, I found your son. He had evaded our search for nearly two weeks though now he is under my watch. I am still keeping my distance like you asked, but I was able to see that the burning worked, there is no trace of your horns. The boy grew up normally, at least physically, and has kept everything from the elf side of him, though he does not have your eyes nor does he seem to resemble you. Listening in on the boy's conversation I can nearly guarantee that he has no memory of you and does not know of your relations. Also while watching him I discovered he has kept his first name, the one you gave him, but he doesn't seem to know his last name at all, he just believes he doesn't have one. Along with this letter are a few pictures of him as of now.

I will keep an eye on him for as long as you want me out here, though you and the capital would be a welcomed sight. -Mercury."

Immediately, Dante snatched the envelope from Nolan and flipped through the pictures. Slowly Dante spotted himself amongst all of the photos. Mercury was following him. Which means… he was Typhon's son.

. Immediately Dante's face shot to the hole in the wall as though it was forced to move. Dante eyed the hole for a few seconds when he realized the gem he had plucked out of the roof in Port Damil was the same shape and size.

Dante plucked the gem out of his bag and made his way toward the wall, stopped only by the quietest noise: a tiny, wicked laugh. Regardless he shoved the rock into the hole in the wall. Dante's head was yanked back by an unseen force, but the pressure only came at two small points on his head. For a split second Dante swore he could see a man with a twisted grin who's facial features could only be made out by the red glow of his eyes. Seconds went by before he regained control of himself and put the gen into the wall. A wild laugh rang through the room as the silhouetted man appeared behind Dante, now visible. The man had two ram horns atop his head. His face was spotted with dark brown facial hair, not much longer than stubble. Adorned on his lower back was a long red tail that reached to the floor with small serrated spikes along the top. Out of Dante's head sprouted two curling ram horns, identical to the man's and an identical red tail. His eyes focused on the person standing in front of him. There standing before him was Typhon Morningstar. His father.

. Typhon cocked his head to the side. "Even with your horns, you look nothing like me." His voice seemed to be laced with malevolence.

"What the fuck?" stuttered Dante, backing away from Typhon.

Typhon smiled, a thin and pointed grin, revealing dagger sharp teeth like a gash. He looked like a monster. "Why don't you want to talk to me? I thought of all people, you'd like to talk to your father. Unless you hadn't figured it out yet?"

Dante continued to step back, catching himself on a chair.

"No? You figured it out. But who told you? Or did you go snooping through my letters?" Typhon nods as he glances at the desk full of papers with eyes that felt like daggers. "Smart. Now which one of you came up with that?"

Still, Dante and Nolan remained silent.

"Now," said Typhon, stepping towards Nolan like an ominous drum beat. "Which side were you on? Mine or Axom’s?"

Typhon took a few more prowling steps forward when he stopped in his tracks. "Not one for choosing sides?" laughed Typhon, with a mild shock.

"How the fuck did you know that?" Nolan covered his wrist with his hand, fear creeped up his spine.

. Typhon's smile grew just a little bit wider deepening the darkness in his eyes. "I can see your tattoos. Hell, you could be wearing steel and I could see who is on my side. I normally grab your wrist to show you that I saw it. But you, you caught me off guard."

Dante caught his breath. He'd been backing up to the wall since Typhon appeared and could barely make sense of his surroundings. He swore he could even hear a bird chirping all the way into the top floor. Typhon's words hung in the air like nooses.

"How the fuck did you know I'd do this?" asked Dante through battered breathing.

"What? You've never felt like someone's watching you?" Typhon took in a long, satisfied breath. "Well, I guess you have your answer. I've watched since I died, pushed you in the right direction as a ghost. And I didn't exactly have my right-hand man with me to bring me back, so I relied on you. So now what do you say? You wanna join your own family or do you want to keep running around with these pests?"

Dante looked at Nolan who was already looking back at him.

"If I say no, he'll kill me," thought Dante. "I've never had a father. I don't want to die. And I'm curious, maybe this will be fun. He's a powerful guy, maybe I'll be powerful too."

"Fine," growled Dante. "We'll join you."

. Nolan shot him a look of both surprise and fear.

"Good choice. Now, there was a reason you both went to all those towns. Where are those gems you got from the elementals?" Typhon stepped over to Dante, who was no longer pressed against the wall.

"Here," said Dante, scooping the gems out of his bag and giving them to Typhon.

Typhon took the gems and walked over the second blood puddle, the one next to the chair. He knelt down and placed the gems together in the puddle. Little flames poked out of Typhon's hands, melting them together. The blood reached up. Human hands formed out of puddles and clawed their way into a pile. The souls of the damned reached up forming the shape of a human laid flat on their back, wrapping around each other until they started to change color. There on the floor laid a man with short black hair that flowed like the curl of a wave decorated by a dyed gray streak at the very front that reached just above his eyebrows. His right eyebrow was affixed with one small slit. A human.

Immediately the man shot up to his feet, a gun pointed at Dante. Typhon set the edge of his tail on the man’s foot and he dropped the gun back into its holster.

"Dante, Mercury. Mercury, Dante," introduced Typhon.

It took a few seconds of staring for Dante to realize the man was Typhon's first-in-command; a man he had worked under in the war.

"We can talk in the morning a bit more. There are barracks just outside, you can both sleep there," said Typhon, gesturing for Nolan and Dante to leave.

So since I deleted Twst due to low storage space more than a year back let me just ramble about something.

Also btw I obv made sure to link my gmail so I can log back into my acc whenever. So if you hadn't already, you really should. But thats not important.

Let me talk about the pains of my existence.

Exibit A.

The fact that I had over 3,000 gems saved, and over 30 keys, which might I add took almost about a year to grind, was all spent on this singular banner. 160 pulls....160....he didnt even budge at pity....but the amount of joy I felt the moment I hit 160 and got him was unbelievable. I watched my gems go down the drain each time I hit the glorious "10 pull summon" absolutely drained my soul.

Anyways then theres exibits B and C.

So heres a little explanation. I adore the tweels, mind you, Floyd is my absolute favorite. Jade was always special to me as he was my second SSR pull. During the dreadful battle to get Ghost Marriage Idia home, as mentioned before, I ended up getting a different SSR on pitty. Can you guess who it was? Thats right! Jade! Now it had already been over a year of religiously playing Twst and I always wanted to have a Floyd dorm uniform SSR but ofc he never came home. So on my oh so painful journey to pull Groom Idia, I pull a duplicate dorm Jade. Wow...what a huge kick in the gut am I right?

Moral of the story: always bring tissues before pulling so if you cry, you're prepared.

Unfortunately I can't manage to draw the true form bc I can't draw four arms to save my life. May change in the future, but for now you'll have to look at the one I made with HeroForge. Also, the hair should be almost floor-lenght and the markings are also on the other set of arms, but couldn't do it

I will also try to design my version of Abner's original form once I learn how to draw four arms-

Dorm Uniform Azul is cackling and singing Poor Unfortunate Souls while counting all the gems I wasted trying to get Vampire Vil. I swear. Like what the frick.

“You’re so lucky to have met a compassionate person like myself-“

AZUL PLEASE. THIS IS NOT YOU BEING ANYWHERE NEAR COMPASSIONATE. THIS IS YOU TOYING WITH MY EMOTIONS AFTER I SPENT ALL DAY GRINDING VIGNETTES AND TWST TUNES FOR GEMS TO GET THAT GUARANTEED SSR.

Him and his freaking greed. 😭 He’s so mean to me. I bet the whole reason Vil didn’t come home was because Azul said he “didn’t have” his Floyd-made beauty potion ready. Jerk. Azul planned this. I just know it. I’ve summoned Halloween Azul too many times to count already.

Bah.

do you have more nikolina fake engagement AU? plz

Sure!

AU several years down the line where the stag was never tracked down (no Mal 💖) and so the Darkling never showed his hand. Established secret Darklina relationship. Meanwhile there’s an arranged Nikolina betrothal that everyone’s having complicated feelings about lol

Part one | Part two | Part three | AO3 link

***

Alina wakes alone the next morning. The twinge of disappointment is truly silly: he always leaves her. It would be stupid not to. The last thing either of them needed was a maid to walk in on the two of them.

She lingers in bed now, remembering the winter fete. That very first night when he’d come to her. He’d spent so much time simply undressing her carefully unwrapping her like a gift. Taking account of every inch of her skin, touching and tasting until she’d been nearly delirious. And then he’d pushed her to the bed and finished what he’d started in that dark side room at the fete.

He’d avoided her for days after. It had hurt tremendously at the time. But she knows his way now, how he’d inevitably feel the need to get even for the simple crime of making him want.

Alina dresses swiftly and makes certain that there aren’t any lingering signs of the Darkling’s presence in her room and then she heads down for breakfast.

She’s surprised to run into Genya in the hall. Genya gives her a little box for her name day. A pretty blue.

Alina opens it then and there, too curious to wait.

“It’s from the Fabrikators workshop,” she says. “Try it at the summoners pavilion, avoid anything flammable.”

It’s a silver ring. Genya explains that if she twists it a certain way while summoning its pale clear gem will hone her light into something that burns. It isn’t quite the Cut, but it’s close. It’s a curiously dangerous gift but it could be useful.

Alina’s training with Baghra has mostly stalled, a touchy subject. Everyone had thought she would be that much more powerful. So unfortunately she does need every trick she can get her hands on.

She thanks her awkwardly. And wishes she knew how to say more but Genya nods and walks past. murmuring something about having to get back to the Tsaritsa.

Alina doesn’t remember how exactly they drifted apart, just that they started speaking to each other less and less. Sometimes they run into each other in the Grand Palace, or in the worse occasions when they’re both trapped in the Tsaritsa’s parlor at length, but they only exchange tight-lipped smiles. Maybe a polite greeting.

She goes down to the domed hall and pours herself tea. Zoya finds her immediately. Despite their earlier— and current— animosity, Zoya has made it a point to befriend her. Or well pantomime friendship. It only took several months of making her life hell before she seemed to consider that Alina might become too important to be enemies with. Or perhaps the Darkling simply gave her an ultimatum, she isn’t sure. Either way they usually both plaster smiles on their faces when they meet and pretend to enjoy each other’s company through meals, through a slew of barbed comments back and forth. She’s gotten better at the verbal sparring recently, not much better in the combat ring though. Zoya still bests her there.

Nikolai intercepts them on the way out though, all smiles and shameless flattery. He kisses her hand, and twirls her around as if he hasn’t seen her for a week. He apologizes for stealing Alina away but unfortunately he simply can’t bear to part with her for too long.

“You’re laying it on a bit thick aren’t you?” she says once they are out of earshot.

“Oh and here I thought that was charm.”

And she cannot help a laugh.

He leads her out to the lake. It’s still fairly quiet at this time of the morning. She’s noticed that he can never be still for very long. When he wants to talk he would much rather do it as they walk.

She doesn’t mind either, she’s content to follow along. And so she also lets him lead on the idle chatter of “How are you?” and “My head frankly still hurts very badly from one too many glasses of brandy but nothing fresh air won’t solve’ until he finally asks, “Fine perhaps I’m a little impatient, but I’m very curious if you've come to a decision?”

Alina suppresses a smile. She likes him. She isn’t sure if that’s a good thing or if it simply makes it harder to make a clear headed decision. But she does like him.

She had wanted to accept. She had been going to accept before she saw the Darkling. And even he had told her to accept, explicitly, even if it was for his own purposes. So truly, what is stopping her now? Sentiment? The worry that she’ll be tangled up in whatever he’s scheming?

She makes a show of sizing Nikolai up. “I’m still considering,” she says.

“Oh? What are you considering, particularly? I like to think that I have many virtues.”

“That you seem to be impulsive, irreverent, and fickle.”

He puts a hand to his heart. “I’m wounded.”

Alina snorts. “You like to be liked, Nikolai Lantsov. And I wonder if you’re only so interested all of a sudden because it irks you that someone might be so indifferent to marrying you. Are you just going to change your mind after you’ve had the attention for a few months? ‘Oh actually we should have a falling out after all, what do you say, lovely?’”

“Well now I think I am actually wounded. I do not sound like that.”

She shrugs. “I’ll work on my impression. But you did ask me what I was considering.”

“So what I’m hearing is that you require proof of my undying devotion.”

She raises an eyebrow. “If you’re already offering undying devotion I would simply call you a liar. But more or less. I want to know that you’re serious.”

“How can I achieve that?”

She’s silent a moment, thinking.“For a start, what do you do when you pretend you’re studying at Ketterdam?”

He gives her a sidelong look. “Is this going straight to the Darkling?”

“I can keep a secret.”

“Frankly, I’m not particularly convinced but why not?” He grins. “I’m only in Os Alta for three more days. Wait until then and I can simply show you.”

“I don’t think you can just carry me off.”

He shrugs. It’s a careless gesture. “It won’t have to be long. I’ll make sure you’re back safe.”

“You’re not taking me all the way to Kerch are you?” she asks dubiously.

“You’ll simply have to see! Consider it an experiment of trust.”

Alina rolls her eyes. “Fine. I can wait three days.”

“Excellent.”

***

She drags her feet on it. But on the evening of the third day, when she can wait no longer, she finds the Darkling in his study, and she carefully informs him of their outing, omitting the part about Nikolai promising to reveal whatever he’s been up to. She had said she would keep that secret.

She stands while he contemplates, feeling somewhat like a child waiting to be reprimanded.

“That’s fine,” he finally tells her so flatly that she cannot read anything but displeasure into it.

“I don’t have to go,” she says quickly.

He drums his fingers over the desk. “No, this is good, I think.”

“Okay...” She swallows.

He rises from his chair, circling around to where she stands. He takes her chin in hand, his gaze intent on hers. “What are you doing exactly, Alina?”

Her mouth goes dry. “What?”

“You’ve been running around the palace like lovestruck children.”

She frowns. “I don’t understand if you want me to go through with this or not. You told me to accept, which I haven’t yet—”

His lip twitches. “Is he aware you haven’t accepted? He doesn’t seem to be.”

“Yes he is,” she grouses. “I’ve made it very clear. But that’s beside the point, I’m keeping him close, like you wanted. And maybe eventually I’ll accept.”

“What are you waiting for?”

She purses her lips, unsure of the answer herself. “I just want to be certain.”

“Don’t take too long. You don’t want to alienate him either.”

She shrugs. “I think he might like a chase, to be honest.”

“I see.”

He kisses her then, hard, still gripping her chin. Her lips part in surprise and he takes the advantage. Overwhelming her as always. Her knees feel weak when he lets go. When he dismisses her just as quickly.

As she walks out in a daze she realizes she should’ve refused that kiss. That she really cannot and should not carry on like this if her enhancement might be real. Guilt twists in her stomach.

She wishes she still talked to Genya.

I think part of the reason why Steven Universe impacted me so much, was because it's a show that's insanely relatable. Steven spent like, 4 seasons having a complete identity crisis, and couldn't even control his powers until season 2 ish.

In a lot of mainstream cartoons, a super-powered protagonist is shown to either know how to control their powers right away, or they learn REALLY really fast. I enjoyed that Steven's progress WASNT linear. He summoned his shield, but then couldn't do it again for awhile. He could float, but had a difficult time controlling it, as seen when he's falling and rattling off things that make him happy on more than one occasion. One of the few that he got sort of quickly was his bubble, but it took till his fight with Amethyst to realize he could manipulate it and make different shapes and use as as more than defense.

SU did a really good job at steadily reminding us that Steven was just a kid, and the things he goes through WILL affect him. More than once he contemplated his feelings for his mom, to go from being indifferent, maybe even loving her to an extent, to disliking her as he learned more about her and the things that she did, to even hatred, when he had thought she had shattered a gem, something that he thought she would never do based off of what he was always told. His feelings for her were realistic. He didn't have any kind of unwavering faith or love for his mother. He wanted to be like her, but only because he thought the gems would be better off is he WAS. He still constantly refers to her as his mom, meaning he at the very least cares for her or her image, but he doesn't want to be like her or have any ties to HER past. A lot of shows don't delve this deep into their characters, and Steven's relationship with his mom is something I love to analyze (I will be doing a full analysis on it at some point)

Another reason I love the show is that it has a VAST amount of LGBTQ+ representation. I was so thrilled when Stevonnie first emerged. It was my first experience with non-binary characters, and seeing them put in a positive light, as someone who had JUST come out and was in the process of accepting themselves, it was nice, to know that if I wanted to, i could be open and a lot of people would love and respect me regardless. SU and it's representation had a HUGE impact on me and how I viewed myself as a 15 year old non-binary asexual.

The last thing I'm going to talk about on my reasons I love this show, is how it addresses trauma. Now I have seen a LOT of anime and cartoons, and the way that the Crewniverse handled it was by FAR the most accurate and relatable. This show was a coping mechanism for me for a very long time. I watched it to escape my own trauma and the things that I was going through at the time, so I'm a bit emotionally attached to it. The relationship between Lapis and Jasper very accurately describes being in an abusive relationship, I can't remember the exact episode, but when they were on the boat, and Lapis admitting to missing being with Jasper, and missing being Malichite because they were strong, it resonated. And especially when in that SAME episode, Jasper crashes onto the boat, begging for Lapis to fuse with her, stating that they would "be better this time" and that Jasper had "changed" it was classic narc behavior. I adored seeing Lapis stand up to her abuser, and her progress wasn't linear either, considering she was weary of water for a long time despite that being part of her character.

Steven Universe Future is probably my favorite response to a character being severely traumatized. He didn't have an all put meltdown seemingly out of nowhere, we watched it build up for 20 episodes, we watched Steven struggle and slowly but surely lose his mind. We watched him fall apart, but we also watched him heal with a healthy support system. Also, this was the first show I've ever watched that had a main character CLEARLY state that they had/were seeing a therapist. I love that he didn't magically get better and fully heal with a bit of love, faith, and pixie dust.

Anyway, I've rambled on long enough I think. It's been 5 years since I first joined this Fandom, and I haven't been able to watch a single show that even comes close to this one. I forgot why it was my favorite for awhile, but sitting down and rewatching it really made me remember why.

I think everyone should give it a watch. Even one time, it can teach you a lot of things. It was... almost like my own therapy. It helped me heal a lot from my own traumas.

Be the Steven you want to see in the world ❤️

TL;DR: Steven Universe is a wonderful show that realistically portrays emotions and struggles and handles them in healthy ways.

#steven universe #steven universe analysis #SU #Steven has trauma and its handled beautifully #Id give anything to watch it again for the first time

eva 15, river 10, 17 for both of them. Also i cant find your ask button on desktop view of blog

15. how big or small is their family? who did they live with growing up? do they live with anyone now?

i dont think Much about eva's family but i know in my heart her familyprobably isnt anything huge. typical mom dad grandparents, maybe an aunt & uncle smwhere, and a sister (younger? older? who knows.) she lived with her parents & sister growing up but now he doesnt. really see them anymore. and are cursed to deal with the wretched beast known as river entering his home and dwelling there.

10. if they wear jewelry, what kind? do they prefer silver or gold? do they have a favorite gem?

i think In Theory river could be a jewlery type wearing but In Practice her r/malelivingspaces home makes it hard to keep anything fancy & small like that... she might have like a few (cheap.) necklaces & rings laying about tho. would prefer silver, & any gem thats red... rubys i guess. shes a red enjoyer. ..even before the whole blood drinking thing.

17. how did they spend their summers/free time as a child?

eva... probably laying about doing fuck all as much as possible tbh. he had friends growing up tho so i can definitely see him having like. hung out with those ppl.. stuff like going over 2 play video games & going 2 the park 2 be a menace.. yeah.

river . is difficult for me to imagine her as a child. i think she'd've spent her free time googling "REAL CURSES AND SPELLS TO USE REAL NOT FAKE" to summon demons to kill everyone she didnt like. & stopped believing in that stuff because it never worked out. how sad.

Where is my askbutton on my desktop blog

yeah this is a good reminder i should change it sometime. its cute but not very like. good with saying what buttons are what.

Back to my Infinity Train x Gravity Falls x Steven Universe AU which until I get a real title will be tagged as Infinite Falling Universe. This time we're going on the Steven Universe side of the story which are also subject to change. The first part involving the Infinity Train gang can be found right here

IFU takes place a bit after the ending of Steven Universe Future. After a few months on the road Steven runs out of cash so he gets a job at the Mystery Shack for the summer

The news about Gems,Gem attacks and Era 3 have spread world wide but most people in Gravity Falls brushed it off as another tourist trap

At first Stan hired Steven because he considered him the ultimate con artist of Beach City who could help drum up business. It took a while to convince him that Gem stuff was actually real but eventually after the Crystal Gems and Connie showed up one day on lion he fully believed him

Steven is still dating Connie and she comes to visit with lion every weekend and during major holidays

Connie isn't phased by any of the supernatural things in Gravity Falls considering she went to space and spent all of her life surrounded by Gems and other weird happenings in Beach City. She's more interested in interacting with them and exploring but only when she's staying for a long time. Most of the time she visits is spent with Steven

Sometimes they go on dates into town like the arcade and Greasy's Diner. Lazy Suzy is an avid Connverse stan.

Steven is mostly regulated to staff work but when traffic is low he'll sometimes show off some of his Gem powers to help get more visitors. He tries not to do it too often to avoid being put on a pedestal again

He's the closest with Soos and the twins. Wendy is cool too but her and her friends are too intense sometimes. He still hangs out with them but doesn't really feel like he fits in the group.

At first Dipper wanted to study Steven and his powers but eventually he gave up and Steven became more of a big brother figure

Mabel thinks his Gem powers are the actual coolest thing in the world. She created her own Gemsona and tries to summon her 'inner Gem warrior',much to Stan and Dipper's confusion. She asks about his adventures and she's the only one besides Dipper he tells most of them to

Dipper thinks Steven doesn't know about the journal but he has a basic idea of what it is

That's all for now,the Gravity Falls post will be next and then hopefully we can start the full project
