Pelipper Mail! The sight of a planet of awesome size, lit by no sun. An invisible titan, all thick black forests and jagged mountains and deep turbulent oceans. Spinning. Soundless. Forgotten. It's so far away. So desolate. And so impossibly, terrifyingly dark.
I- um... I don't like this at all...
Why...?
It's just so...
Just... no.

Missing Magazines
Octavinelle with a Fashion Model Reader
How would the Octavinelle boys react to you being a model? Based on the premise that you, the reader, are a model and are featured in a popular fashion magazine that Sam sells at the school - except when you go to buy one, you realize that someone bought out almost all the magazines. Who could it be?
Things to mention: Azul never stopped signing contracts with people and the Octotrio are still shady. Reader is slightly different from canon Yuu. Also, this is my first fanfic, so I apologize in advance for any inconsistencies with POV! Twisted Boys featured: Azul, Jade, Floyd
The warm sun was a welcome surprise after several dreary weeks of intermittent rains and grey skies. Throngs of students were happily milling about on the central lawn, some boys from Savanaclaw were throwing a Spelldrive Disc like a frisbee, and you spotted some Ignihyde students actually touching grass for once.
With the passing of the Spring rains, Night Raven College seemed to spring back to life with the touch of a little sunshine.
And just in time for the release of the summer edition of one of the top magazines in Twisted Wonderland, Fleurs de la mode. However, this edition was special - it was your first official modeling gig for a fashion magazine.
Admittedly, when you were first scouted by a modeling agent at the NRC's Song and Dance Championship, you were hesitant (I mean, after dealing with the outrageous amount of con artists at NRC, who wouldn't be skeptical), but the Fleur City Associates modeling agency turned out to be legitimate. After some back and forth with your agent, and several gigs later, you got the opportunity to model for a popular fashion magazine on account of your unique "otherworldly'" flair, which you assumed was a weird compliment from one of your managers. Regardless, your nerves had long since worn off with the first paycheck (thaumarks are hard to come by) and now you were excited to see your hard work in print.
"Welcome back, my little imp." Sam waved from behind the counter. "What can I conjure for you today?"
"Good morning, Sam!" You smiled, "I heard that you just got in the newest edition of Fleurs, could I buy one off you?"
Sam gave you a peculiar look, before smiling - wait, was that a trace of a smirk?
"I do apologize little imp, but I am fresh out of stock. Those magazines flew off the shelves this morning."
"Wait, but didn't you just open like thirty minutes ago?"
You were a bit disappointed. On one hand, you didn't really need the magazine, but on the other hand, it would've been nice to have at least some proof of your accomplishment in this strange world. At a school where magic was the highest priority, it was nice to finally be known for something that wasn't just your lack of magic ability.
"Yes but, eh hee hee, it seems the magazine was quite popular this time around." Sam snickered. You sighed.
"However," Sam continued, "You've lucked out this time little imp, For the same price as a magazine, I can tell you who bought out half my stock. I'm certain that you can get one from him for free!"
"Thanks Sam, for the, uh, considerate offer, but I think I'll pass!" You remarked, trying to think of who might have bought out such a large stock of magazines.
"Are you certain, my little imp?" Sam leaned over the counter, smiling, a bit too maliciously for your liking. "Don't you want to see your magazine debut firsthand?" Huh?
You were only featured on a few pages, so how did he even know you were in there? Did he actually read the fashion magazine? Looking at his attire, you find that highly doubtful.
"How'd you know about that?" You inquired, trying not to sound overtly suspicious.
"Why else would so many imps be standing in line outside my shop at seven in the morning?" Sam, for sure, was smirking this time.
No way. How did this get around? You felt your face go hot, suddenly embarrassed. Hold on, you reasoned with yourself. Vil is a model too, along with some other Pomefiore students, so students modeling shouldn't be a shock to anyone!
But if the reason the magazines sold out so quickly was - that is, if Sam's not tricking you - because of your shoot, then why would anyone buy half of the entire stock? Especially at Sam's ridiculous prices.
You sighed; you'll figure this out later.
"I'm good, Sam. Thanks for the offer, but I've got to get going to my next class." You quickly backed away from Sam and ducked out the front door before he could cut you off with another suspicious offer.
"Come back anytime little imp!" The door swinging shut behind you as Sam big you goodbye.
God, was there a single good person in this school??
Wait, a realization suddenly hit you. The guy who bought half the magazines, was it-
——-
You practically stomped across the school, through the mirror room, and into the Octavinelle dorm.
You didn't lie to Sam earlier; you really did have to go to class. And then after four classes and nearly eight hours, you had to go to club. So, now it was practically late afternoon, and you were only now on your mission to hunt down the buyer of some 60+ magazines.
The moment you stepped inside Mostro Lounge, two tall, ominous figures seemed to materialize directly beside you.
"Hello Jade. Hey Floyd."
"Shrimpy!" Floyd exclaimed, before wrapping his long arms around your torso and squeezing tightly.
"Now now, Floyd," Jade smirked, "Let's not squeeze the life out of our little Prefect."
"I'm here to discuss some things with Azul." You told the two 6-foot-tall eels.
You must have sounded agitated because Floyd and Jade quickly took the hit and grabbed onto each of your arms respectively and dragged walked me to the VIP room.
"Now then, who are we to interfere with your business affairs?" Jade let go of your left arm to open the large, ornate VIP room doors.
"Only VIP access for our Shrimpy!" Floyd exclaimed, striding into the VIP room where some student was groveling on his hands and knees, begging Azul for something. I noticed that he had a small anemone sprouting from his head, looks like Azul got another freshman. Grinning, Floyd roughly grabbed the poor student by his shirt collar and unceremoniously threw him out the door.
Jade sinisterly smiled at the boy, before bending down to say something in a hushed tone, causing the boy to squeal and shuffle away frantically. Jade smirked, stood, and walked over to stand beside the seated and slightly flustered Azul, as Floyd slammed the doors.
For once, and to my astonishment, Azul, usually the pristine image of a savvy businessman, looked a little nervous.
You were surprised that he didn't even object to Floyd tossing his client (more likely his victim, given the anemone) out.
Azul pursued his lips and tented his fingers on the table, before taking a breath and seeming to regain his composure.
"Why, (Y/N), to what do I owe the pleasure of your company this evening?"
Azul typically spoke formally and eloquently, but given your and his relationship as friends, his behavior was a little, unusual. Something smelled fishy, and it wasn't the fish swimming outside or the mermen in the room.
You chalked it up to your own misunderstanding of the situation, or to Azul already going into business mode to prepare for what was coming.
"I'm here about the Fleur magazines you bought."
For a brief second, the three (well, more like two, Floyd just seemed slightly humored) seemed to go pale. Azul gave you a blank stare, mouth slightly open, and Jade turned away to focus intently on the wall with a trace of a grimace on his face. Floyd chuckled and looked at Azul.
Weirdos. What is up with them today?
"You're reselling those Fleur magazines for a profit, aren't you?" You continued on.
A brief moment passed. Jade turned back to look at you and Azul quickly snapped back to reality with a small laugh and a smirk.
"Yes! Why, you deduce correctly, Prefect, I did buy the remaining stock in order to resell them. They're quite in high demand, given your popularity amongst the student body."
"I apologize if you wanted to buy one, but I couldn't miss such a lucrative and perfectly legal business opportunity!" Azul cloyingly apologized, gesturing with his hands in a show of mock apology.
Floyd and Jade nodded along in fake sincerity. Seems you guessed right after all.
"Okay, seeing that you're admitting it, I'm not really that mad. But, also, seeing that you're going to profit off my face, I have a proposal."
The three leaned forward. "Do go on," Azul nodded.
"I can sign my picture in one of the magazines, so you can ramp up the price, and, in return, I can get a free magazine."
"Done!" Azul exclaimed, magically flying over a contract to you. You have no idea how he managed to write one so fast, because it seemingly materialized out of thin air.
The contract wasn't wordy and there were no terms and conditions. You suppose it makes sense given how simple the agreement is, but it still seemed quite hasty.
Regardless, after reading it over twice - it is Azul after all - you signed, and Azul magically lifted the contract and pen into his hands and swiftly slid them into some drawer.
While you were reading the contract, Jade quietly ducked out before returning with two magazines in hand. He hovered over your shoulder, before flipping one magazine open to reveal one of your swimsuit model pictures and setting it on the table for you to sign.
You signed, although it felt a little weird autographing something, but it was best 'business' proposal you could come up with.
Jade handed you the other magazine and Azul stood up. You still find the height difference between him and Tweels humorous, although Azul was still taller than you, so you didn't have much room to judge.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you, (Y/N), as always." Azul smiled, fumbling with something out of view in his desk drawer. "Have a good night."
"Want a drink Shrimpy?" Floyd inquired, placing an arm on your shoulder, turning you away from Azul.
"I would be more than happy to make something to your liking." Jade agreed, leading me out of the room. "On the house." He quickly added.
"As much as I'd love to, I have a tutoring session with Riddle. He saw my grade on last week's midterm and almost exploded on the spot."
"Aah, I haven't seen Goldfishy in a while." Floyd wondered aloud. "Hey, Shrimpy," He smiled, "Let me come with ya."
"Absolutely not," Jade remarked with a cold smile that did not reach his eyes, "You have a shift to work Floyd." You have always found the difference between their personalities amusing.
Remembering your appointment, you whipped out your phone to look at the time. Oh no. You had five minutes.
"Shit, I got to go, see you guys later!" You waved and ran off, terrified that you might actually witness Riddle explode this time.
"Goodbye, (Y/N)." "See ya, Shrimpy!"
Two sets of mismatched eyes intently followed you out the door.
------
"JADE." Azul practically screeched, slamming his hands on the table. "Do you know how BADLY that could have gone? Are you insane? You're lucky the prefect thought I was trying to resell them!"
"We're lucky." Jade corrected, carefully and meticulously removing pages from a Fleur magazine at a Mostro Lounge table. Azul threw his hands up in frustration.
"Hey, Azul, I never heard you objecting." Floyd rolled his eyes. "And why are you so embarrassed anyway; you're puffing up like a pufferfish."
"Well now, we have to sell the magazines." Azul huffed to himself and sat down besides Jade and the stack of magazines. "So, stop tearing the merchandise!"
"No." Jade snapped angrily. Realizing, Jade quickly collected himself and returned to his typical collected attitude, resuming his carefully removal of magazine pages, "There is a clear solution - we sell the magazines, just without certain pages featuring the prefect."
Azul stared, deadpan at Jade, clearly exasperated. "And just what are you going to do with half a hundred pictures of the prefect?"
"Remind me, who took one of the magazines after I bought them for 'personal use'?" Jade sneered, meeting Azul's stare, causing Azul to blush and begin stuttering excuses.
"I still don't get why we can't just tell Shrimpy." Floyd shrugged, leaning back in his chair, holding up one of the torn-out magazine pages of (Y/N) standing on a beach, hair blowing in the (fake) wind, dressed in a one-piece swimsuit, with a chic cover-up.
"Absolutely not!" Jade and Azul shouted in unison.
Thankfully, the Mostro Lounge was closed, and no one could hear the three mermen squabbling late into the night.

Advantage (Leah Williamson x reader)
Tumblr media
After colliding with another player, you have a concussion and have to stay home. Leah volunteers to look after you.
warnings: injury / concussion, sick, very mild angst if you squint
A/N: based off this request! I hope you like it! also any doctors pls don't come for me i've never had a concussion idk what the recovery looks like. part 2 here!
-----
The crowd went silent as your body fell limply to the ground. The game had been going so well up until that point, you were 3-0 up, and you were racing towards the goal with the ball high in the air, your eyes never leaving it as you jumped up to hit it with your head. That was all you could remember. Your teammates rushed towards you, the ball lying forgotten on the grass as the ref ran over. 
“Shit, she’s not moving,” Katie exclaimed, turning around to flag down the medics who were already making their way across the pitch. “Get over here, she needs help, now!”
Leah was knelt down by your side, careful not to touch you in case it was something serious, like a back or neck injury. “It’s going to be okay, y/n,” she said, her voice wavering slightly. She was mostly saying it to calm her own nerves, trying to convince herself you were okay.
“What happened?” Lotte asked Alessia, who was stood anxiously chewing her lip. 
“I’m not sure, I- I was so focused on the ball as well,” she said, feeling guilty for not paying better attention. “She jumped up for the ball and the defender, fuck, what’s her name, the big one, went for it as well, they must have hit heads.” 
Everyone was gathered around you like a protective wall, guarding you from the cameras and the crowd, who were talking quietly amongst themselves, worry rippling through the stadium. The medics carefully moved your limp body onto the stretcher, and the last view most of the girls on the field had of you was your body being carried away. 
Your eyes fluttered open to see the overhead lights of the hallway as the medics carried you towards an ambulance waiting outside. “What’s- what’s going on?” you asked, groaning slightly.
“You’ve had a head injury, y/n,” one of the medics told you gently. “You have to go to the hospital to be checked for a concussion.”
“Oh,” you said weakly, “okay.”
---
The hospital released you after keeping you in for observation for a few hours, determining that whilst you had a concussion, it was only a mild one. The team doctor drove you home, telling you to rest up and make sure to drink lots of fluids. You were surprised to see the lights on in your house, when you pulled up, but brushed it off thinking that maybe you’d forgotten to turn them off that morning. 
When you opened the door, however, you were surprised to find Leah, Beth, Viv, and Katie sat on your sofa. 
“Y/n!” Leah exclaimed, standing up quickly and rushing over to give you a hug. “How are you feeling? Thank god you’re okay.” 
“Remember, Lee, don’t crowd her,” Katie said with a grin, but she couldn’t hide the concern on her face. 
“How are you feeling?” Beth asked. “Jonas told us that they said it’s a concussion, but not too bad, right?”
“Uh, yeah,” you said weakly, with a smile. “yeah, I’m okay, mostly. But, um, what are you guys doing here?”
“Oh!” Leah blushed. “Well, we thought someone should be here, so you’re not just home alone, and we all wanted to make sure you were okay- well, the whole team did, obviously, but we thought it’d be better if it was just a few of us so we weren’t crowding you!”
“That’s really thoughtful, thank you,” you said, stomach fluttering at the thought of Leah being so worried about you. “The doctor did say that it’d be better for someone to be here tonight and tomorrow. Sorry, I know it’s our day off, so everyone probably has plans, but-”
“Don’t be silly, y/n!” Leah said quickly, and behind her, Beth and Viv shot each other a knowing look. “We’re all happy to look after you. I can stay, at least tonight.”
“Thank you,” you smiled warmly, before you were hit with a wave of nausea. “Oh, I think I’m going to be sick-” 
You clapped a hand over your mouth as Katie grabbed a bowl they’d put nearby and quickly put it in front of you. Leah held your hair back and rubbed a hand on your back as you threw up, and you grimaced.
“Ugh, ‘m sorry, that was gross,” you said weakly. 
“Here, have some water,” Viv said, holding a glass. You took it gratefully as Katie stood up. 
“I’m sorry, chick, I’m going to have to head out,” she said apologetically, looking slightly queasy herself. “You know I can’t handle sick. But I’ll come round tomorrow to check on ya, with some of the other girls?”
You nodded, feeling your head start to pound. “No worries, thank you for being here. I’m starting to feel pretty tired, actually, and my head is killing me, so I think I might just go to sleep.”
Beth and Viv stood up as well, both hugging you before saying their goodbyes. And then it was just you and Leah. 
“Hey, um, what actually happened, on the pitch?” you asked her. “I don’t really remember much. The doctor said that’s normal, but it’s weird, not being able to remember.”
“Well, it was the 39th minute, I think,” she began, frowning, and you couldn’t help but smile at the fact that she even knew the exact minute. “You were running for the ball, and you went to header it, but that big defender from the other team was going for it too and their head hit yours. Then, well, you just… fell to the ground.”
“Oh,” you said quietly. “Was the other player okay?”
“She was bleeding a bit, a cut on their head, but she was fine other than that.”
“That’s good. I’m… sorry,” you told her, and she looked confused.
“Sorry for what?” 
“For not paying more attention. I should have seen the other player-” you started, and she cut you off with a vehement shake of her head.
“Absolutely not, y/n, don’t apologise. You didn’t do anything wrong, okay?” she said.
You nodded, still feeling somewhat guilty, but too tired to argue. Leah chuckled as you let out a big yawn. “Bed?” she asked. “For you, I mean. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
“What? Don’t be silly,” you told her, ignoring the butterflies in your stomach. “There’s plenty of space in my bed.”
“Okay,” she smiled. “Right then, sleepy head. Did the doctor say anything about sleeping, or anything we should watch out for?”
“Um, just that it’s important that I rest a lot, I think,” you frowned, suddenly not sure. “I don’t really remember. Oh, I think she gave me some paper with information on it.”
You found the info sheet in your bag and showed it to Leah, who read through it quickly, nodding. “Well, let’s get you to bed.”
It wasn’t the first time you and the captain had shared a bed. After all, the team was like a family, people sharing beds all the time when you went away or slept over at someone’s house. Still, if you weren’t so tired, you probably would have been more nervous about the idea of sleeping so close to Leah, who you’d been harbouring a crush on for a while now. As it was, you fell asleep fairly quickly, exhausted from the day’s excitement. Leah however, still worried about you, laid awake for a while, thoughts racing. She listened to your slow, steady breathing as she scrolled on her phone, first googling ‘recovery from concussion’ and ‘what to do when someone has a concussion’, despite the fact that she knew full well what the recovery for a concussion looked like from having had one herself just a couple years before. Still, she couldn’t stop thinking about you.
“Lee?” you groaned, rolling over in bed as the sun shone through your curtains. “What’re you doing here? Fuck, it’s so bright. Ugh, my head.”
“Oops, yeah,” she said, quickly closing the curtains a little more and dimming the bright morning light. Smiling at you, she sat back down on an armchair in your bedroom, her laptop balanced on the armrest. “Sorry about that, I forgot. Anyway, morning sleepyhead! I slept over, remember? To keep an eye on you.”
“Oh, yeah, right” you mumbled, pressing a hand to the side of your head and wincing in pain. 
“Here,” Leah said, jumping up and picking up a glass of water and some pain medicine she’d put on the bedside table. “Take this, it should help your head.”
You nodded, taking it from her gratefully. 
“How are you feeling?” she asked.
“M’ head hurts. And I feel a bit weird. Head feels fuzzy,” you said, before sitting up. “Wait, what day is it? Do we have training? We’re going to be late!” 
You stood up quickly, grabbing onto the bedpost as your head started swimming. 
“Woah there!” she put her hands on your shoulders, gently pushing you back onto the bed. “Today is Monday, we don’t have training, remember? We played yesterday.”
“Oh, yeah,” you say, frowning. “I forgot.”
“That’s okay,” she told you. “It’s normal to be a bit confused after a concussion. My brain felt so fuzzy after mine.”
You nodded. “Yeah, fuzzy is a good word to describe it. Wait, you were here when I got home, right? How did you get in?” 
“I have a key, remember?” she said with a laugh. You’d given her a copy of your key at some point after you started hanging out more outside of training. It came in handy when you forgot your own key, which happened more often than you’d like to admit. “Speaking of, some of the girls are going to come over later, if that’s okay? Or do you want to rest a bit more?”
“Um, I think I'll rest more for now, but it’d be nice to see them later?” you asked, still feeling tired despite having slept in.
“Of course,” Leah said, smiling warmly. “Do you want me to stay? I don’t mind, but I can come back later too, if you want? Or, I mean, I don’t have to come back at all, if you’re sick of me already.” she teased, her voice confident but a hint of worry behind her voice. 
“Oh, if you have something you have to do, that’s okay, you can leave,” you told her, feeling guilty that she was spending her day off looking after you. 
“I don’t have anything to do!” she quickly said. “But, I might do some shopping? I had a look in the kitchen last night and honestly, y/n, I don’t know how you survive. All you had in was some milk, a half empty jar of pesto, and some bread.”
“Oops,” you smiled lazily, the pain medicine starting to kick in. You couldn’t remember what the doctor said it was exactly, but it was strong. “I’ll be okay whilst you go shopping, Lee. I can handle myself!”
She raised an eyebrow at you and laughed. “Yeah, okay hun. Look, I’ll be back in half an hour, an hour tops, okay?”
----
True to her word, 45 minutes later the front door opened. You had slowly made your way over to the sofa after she left, planning on putting some TV on but had ended up falling asleep. Your eyes opened to the sound of the key in the lock, and when Leah came through the door carrying multiple shopping bags you smiled widely.
“LeeLee!!” you beamed, rubbing your eyes sleepily. Oh yeah, the pain meds had definitely kicked in. 
“I see the pain meds have kicked in,” she said with a grin, and you gasped.
“OMG, that’s what I just said! Well, in my head. Said in my head. Ha, that rhymes,” you chuckled to yourself, before getting distracted by how many bags Leah was carrying. It was at least three. 
She laughed. “Is that right?”
You nodded seriously, sitting up. “Yep. Anyway, look at all those bags! You must have bought soo much. And you’re carrying it all! You’re so strong,” you swooned, and her cheeks had a slight pink tinge to them.
“Wow, those pain meds must be strong. They’ve turned you into a right little loopy Lou,” she said as she carried the shopping through to the kitchen.
“Loopy Lou, loopy Lou,” you repeated quietly a few times. “Huh. That’s fun to say.”
“How are you feeling?” Leah asked as she came back, sitting down next to you on the sofa.
“Good,” you said, drawing out the word. 
“Any nausea, any pain?” 
“Hmm, nope! Actually, head hurts a bit. Right here,” you said, poking the lump on the side of your head. “Ow.”
“Yeah, that’d be where you knocked heads,” she said, carefully brushing your hand away from the sizeable lump, and you blushed when her fingers touched yours.
“You’re so pretty, Lee,” you sighed, a dopey smile on your face, and Leah let out a surprised laugh. “And your hands are so nice.”
She raised an eyebrow, curious to hear what else you had to say, but not wanting to push it. “Is that right?” she asked, her voice light. 
“Yup,” you nodded, trying to make your face look more serious, but you got the feeling that it wasn’t working. “So pretty.”
“Okay, y/n,” she laughed, but the flush on her cheeks was undeniable. 
“You’re blushing!” you exclaimed gleefully, poking her dimple with an outstretched finger. “You’re so cute!”
She batted your hand away playfully, still blushing. “Yeah, yeah. You’re the cute one,” she said, not looking directly at you, like she was scared of your reaction. 
“Me?” you gasped dramatically. “You think I’m cute?” 
“Sure do,” she looked back at you and smiled, a hint of relief in her eyes. “But I’m guessing you won’t remember any of this by tomorrow.”
“Oh,” you pouted. “But I like that you think I’m cute.” 
“You do?” 
“Yeah!” you nodded emphatically, then stopped quickly, wincing at the throbbing in your head. “Oof, ouch. That was a bad idea. Can I have some more pain meds?”
“Uh, yeah, I’ll get them,” Leah said, standing up. Despite her excitement at learning that apparently you felt the same way she did, she felt a twinge of guilt, a voice in the back of her mind telling her that she was taking advantage of the state that you were in. 
“Thanks, LeeLee!” you beamed when she brought you some meds and a glass of water. “You’re the best.”
“Haha, yeah,” she said, shuffling awkwardly. “Um, look, y/n, I’m going to go, if that’s okay? Katie and some of the others will come over in a bit to check on you.”
“Oh, okay,” you said, frowning, and within a few minutes Leah had packed her things and left. 
---------
A week later you were almost back to normal. Your head still hurt a little occasionally, and you preferred to wear sunglasses when up and about, still a little sensitive to bright lights, but the lump on the side of your head had almost disappeared. You’d spent the week recovering at home, Leah by your side for the first day and girls from the team coming by after training every day since. Leah had pulled back somewhat after that first day, and you weren’t really sure why, though you had the feeling that maybe you’d said something stupid when you were on the particularly strong pain meds you’d been given.  
You’d been instructed to come back to the training grounds so that the team doctor could give you a check up and you were looking forward to being back, even if you weren’t officially back yet. You were also hoping to see Leah. The checkup didn’t take long, the doctor declaring that you could come back and slowly start training again the next day, but to take the rest of the day off. You didn’t see any of your teammates on your way to the doctor’s office, and figured that they were outside on the training pitch, which was fair enough, but you were still a little disappointed. 
You left the doctors office and started to make your way to the car park, when the door to one of the changing rooms opened and someone came out, almost knocking into you. 
“Shit, sorr-,” they said, holding out a hand to steady you, when you both looked up at the same time. “Y/n! Hi!”
“Hey,” you said softly, looking at Leah. You still felt like things were weird, but you didn’t know why. 
“Did you just have your checkup? What did they say?” she asked, and whilst her excitement at seeing you felt genuine, you couldn’t shake the sensation that something was off. 
“Oh, that I’m looking good!” you told her, debating whether or not to say anything. “Yeah, they said I can come back tomorrow. Not, like, full steam ahead, obviously, but I can slowly start training again.”
“That’s great!” she said, and then bit her lip. “Um, I should probably get going.”
“Wait-” you started as she began to turn away, and she looked at you with wide eyes. “I, um, did something happen? Did I do something? I feel like you’re upset with me, or not upset but, I don’t know. Something seems wrong.”
“I’m not upset with you,” she frowned.
“Then what’s going on? Please, talk to me, Leah,” you asked, your stomach tying itself in knots.
She sighed. “Do you remember much from Monday?”
“Not really, I guess. I vaguely remember you being there, and then some of the girls being there, but that’s kind of it,” you said, and knocked on the side of your head, smiling wryly. “A concussion and strong-ass painkillers will do that to you.”
She let out a forced laugh and you felt your stomach churn. Oh god, had you embarrassed yourself by telling her about your crush? “Why, did something happen? Did I say something?”
“Kind of,” she said, not meeting your eyes. She thought about lying but had a feeling that you’d know if she did. “You, uh, called me pretty. A few times. And cute. And, um, said that I had nice hands.”
“Oh,” you said in a whisper, desperately fighting the urge to run and hide. “I’m sorry.”
“No, no!” she interjected. “Shit, sorry, no, that’s not what I, uh. No, please don’t apologise. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
You frowned in confusion. “What do you mean? Why have you been avoiding me then?”
“It’s my fault,” she started, and sighed again. “Look, I said some stuff back, okay? And it wasn’t professional or even just okay of me to do that, whilst you were in the state you were in.”
“What kind of stuff?”
“I, well, I might have said that you were the cute one.”
“Okay…,” you said slowly, waiting for the rest. When nothing came, you let out a laugh. “Wait, that’s it? You’ve been avoiding me because I told you I think you’re cute, and you said it back?”
She shuffled her feet, looking down. “Well, I didn’t want to be taking advantage of you!” she protested, and you couldn’t help but smile.
“I hardly think that counts as taking advantage of me,” you lightly countered, stepping closer to her, emboldened by her confession. “So, you think I’m cute, huh?”
“So, you think I’m pretty, and cute, and have nice hands, huh?” Leah retorted, the guilt and worry she had been feeling fading away.
“Sure do, Williamson,” you smirked, taking another step towards her, figuring that you’d already told her once so you might as well admit to it. Now you were only a few inches away from her, and as you glanced at her lips and back up to her eyes, she reached up a hand to cup your cheek. Leaning forward, she placed a soft kiss against your lips, and you tried very hard to ignore the way your stomach felt like it was flipping, focusing on the way her lips felt against yours, something you’d spent so long imagining. 
“You know,” she said as she broke away, smiling teasingly. “Last week you kept calling me LeeLee, not Williamson.”

Funny how I keep getting comments like this
And it's not that it's harmful,it's that it's just not right whatsoever 💀 all your reasons for them being together are faulty and are things shared between friends aswell.
So, the dude called me and my ship weird while (and I'll keep saying it nonstop) HankCon is the most harmless ship in this fandom.
Okay, we are not saying that people can't ship whoever they want, are we? Especially in this particular fandom? In which most of the ships have no logic behind them at all, yet people are quite fine with those just because they fit into people's standards of beauty and how guy x guy ships have to look like, in their opinion.
So my questions are like those I've seen on twitter: "why do people find it so hard to be silent haters? like genuinely? why is it so hard to see something you don't like and think "ew weird" without feeling the need to tell the person who likes it that you think its weird/bad/gross/wrong ??"
And here's the answer: It's because they need to feel like they have the moral high ground. Actual virtue signalling. Ewww you like this, here's why you're wrong.
And nobody was able to give me an open answer why HankCon seems so offensive to them. And we do not talk about age gap here, it is too ridiculous to bring this up as an argument even. We are not talking anbout father & son issue because canon relationship is still friends, any father & son as well as romance are headcanons. So why those who like father & son are supported and those who love romance and fucking between the character are hated?
In a fandom (with no canon ships, except maybe Kara x Luther) where people literally ship characters with everyone they want?
Someone on twitter also said that the massive increase in self-insert, kinning etc. has created parasocial relationships with fictional charas. It's always happened but it's more now. Any perceived attack (moral or otherwise) on the chara equals an attack on that person's identity.
But I doubt that's the only issue. Although the theory has its place, given the general infantilization of Connor, which, however, is immediately forgotten when people need him to be an adult.
If haters are here to spread morality and justice, why aren't they doing it in other fandoms? After all, as I've mentioned before, there is the Rick and Morty fandom where people ship a grandpa and a grandson and I've never heard of people hating on this ship. Why these people are not among those discussing, for example, the laws of Japan, where a man over forty can marry a sixteen-year-old (correct me if I'm mistaken) if it is really an age gap that bothers the haters so much? But for some reason they chose as a victim a harmless pairing that does not harm anyone and is not even as popular as it was before? Or the goal is to errase it from the fandom spaces completely? If so, I'd suggest those to go outside and touch the grass.

Ooh ooh can we do D Y Z for Lloyd please? I absolutely love this game!
From this dirty ask game, but Z - Zones has already been answered here.
Tumblr media
This game in general, but more specifically everything Lloyd, is MINORS DNI. Boi is nasty and rude and I hate to love himwe love to hate him.
Tumblr media
D -Dominance
"More? You want more, you selfish bitch?" He grips your jaw harshly, fingertips digging into your cheeks. "I tell you what you need and when. I'll even give you a hint. Neither of us needs your fucking mouth right now. You'll take what I give you--" he leans so close his mustache tickles the rim of your ear "--and I will love it. Lloyd's hips snap forward, shoving you into the furniture so hard your thighs sting. "Understand?" You know he doesn't expect an answer, he told you your mouth was not required, and (whether it proves or disproves his point) he pushes two thick fingers against your tongue and holds them there until he's satisfied.
So, uh, yeah. Lloyd is a very mean dom. The type of dominant male that isn't actually a Dom because there is no safe word or system to protect you. This is not rocket science.
But...and that's a big 'but,' IF I could figure out a way to write him a repeat and consistent--the word 'lover' doesn't seem to apply here, hold up, eh, let's go with--fuck buddy, I think Lloyd would enjoy harsh pampering, someone super strict about his appearance, too, and someone brutal in their caring for him.
He would not see this as being dominated, and he would not allow it to go very far. It's not--well, I'm having trouble describing this--equal control, per se, but I think outside of sex he would appreciate someone as severe and indifferent as he is. Not a partner, bit like an appliance he finds useful, half-'sexy-butler-he-owns' and half-'a-showpiece-of-a-sextoy.' Right? That made sense. Totally articulate. For sure...
Bottomline, I hope you don't have any 'no's on your list; he'll make that his first priority of shit to do to you.
Y - Yes, Master
Lloyd.
It's not, like, a great name, is it?
Yeah, so he's good with all the power monikers--mister, master, sir, my king, my lord, whatever--and you get all the shaming ones--fatass, tubby, chubby, chubs, fuck toy, bitch, slut, whore...you get the picture.
The absolute truth is that he's...not really listening to you. He'll feed you lines of what he wants to hear, and even if you improvise things guaranteed to stroke his ego, Lloyd doesn't care. None of this is for you.
I should mention that 'daddy' is NOT on that list because it implies some sort of caring, or the requirement/expectation of care. This means something to Lloyd in the worst possible way. He hates the idea of owing you--or anyone else--anything.
If he refers to himself as 'Daddy,' if he asks you to call him 'Daddy,' FUCKING RUN.
He is in the mood to torture. He wants to feel responsible for the pain you are about to be in. For the love of all that is holy, degrading, or anywhere in between, get the fuck out of there and touch grass! You are not safe.
Thank you for asking!

Hi, Idk if I'm doing this right, but I love your work, and I want to request something. Could you do 18(what was that noise?), with either Law or Sanji? And funny, but like, in-character. I kind of read y/n fics as bedtime stories and I love cracking up to your imagines :)
Hello anon!
Thank you for your kind words! It's great to hear thay you get my Humor 😆
I like fun prompts and I think I have just the thing for you 😉
I just hope it's not too scary before bed!
This is part of the now closed Follower milestone event.
Also check out my masterlist!
Here's
Midnight Sunny
Things that go bump in the night...happens a lot on a ship, especially on the grand line!
Sanji and you heard some very strange sounds and investigate the thousand sunny at night - when it's dark and empty. And scary.
Sfw, funny fluff about what the crew does at night.
Tumblr media
You were still unfamiliar with the ship, the crew. The noises. Something went bump in the night - hard. You looked around, Robin and Nami were fast asleep. Well enough- you're a pirate now, you had to act like it and protect your friends. You got up, not bothering to get a jacket or anything in the warm night.
Outside, you couldn't hear or see anything at first. You carefully walked down the stairs to the main deck and enjoyed the fresh air and the scent of Gras in the night.
Maybe this was nothing? You surely just overreacted. Besides, Zoro was holding watch in the crow's nest, if he couldn't handle it, no one could. Reassured, you turned to return to bed. When you wandered back towards the stairs, you heard it!
Loud snoring indicated that your evaluation of the situation was a bit optimistic, your night watch had fallen asleep. But nothing was here and you decided it was time to sleep - when you almost slipped on something. It was wet and sticky when your naked foot touched it. You bent down and saw...it was blood!
A strange groan could be heard behind you, you spun around. Dark and tall, a figure was moving towards you, groaning and heaving. But no steps could be heard.
Sanji
Sanji has lived on ships for most of his life. The splash of the water against the wood of the ship's belly, the creaking planks, all familiar sounds. In fact, he needed that to sleep. The silent nights on land, in towns, were hard for him.
On the sunny, most of those sounds were drowned out by Zoro's snoring and Luffy's sleep eating (you know how he dreams about food all night? He's chewing and talking all the time).
So when something really went bump in the night, Sanji was sure something was wrong.
He routinely checked the other's beds - all seemed to be in their hammocks, sleeping and wrapped in their blankets.
He air-walked just an inch from the floor to be absolutely silent and went to investigate. Who else was on the ship?
Nami-san and Robin-chan, Y/n-chan, Zoro sleeping in the crows best and the rest of the boys here with him.
He got a flash light and headed outside into the night. Someone was there! He inched closer, soundless. He was ready to seize the intruder, when his body held him back. Those hips? That ass? He felt his nose trickle and a noise escape his throat: "y/n chyaaaaan" He mumbled, enchanted.
You
The creature said your name! It sounded like a Zombie! You swung the hardest punch you had - only realising to late that you smashed poor Sanji across the grass. Luckily, he took the blow like it was nothing and was up on his feet in seconds, already hurrying back towards you with flailing arms.
"Y/n chyaaaan! Don't be afraid, it's only me! Your Sanji!" He chanted. Blood was running from his nose.
"Oh! I am so sorry!" You apologised, trying to find something to remove the blood. He stared at you with heart eyes, making you realise that you only wore hot pants and a shirt. He wore a shirt and shorts as well, he had probably already been sleeping, too.
He looked a bit creepy with his bloody face and confused eyes, but you had no handkerchief with you, so you decided to take the corner of his shirt to wipe some of the blood off his face. Lifting the fabric up revealed his six-pack and made him hyperventilate, it also almost gave you a nosebleed, so you quickly abandoned the plan.
"Sanji, I heard something" You told him, trying to change the subject a bit. He was a monster on the battlefield, too, he could handle any intruders. Or ghosts.
In a second, he gathered himself and answered seriously:"yeah, I heard it, too! I'll protect you!" Just what you needed to hear!
"Let's investigate it and get back to sleep" You said with worry and shivered a bit.
"Of course! Leave it to me!" He boasted. And, seeing your shiver, he added: "are you cold? Do you need my shirt?" He already lifted it, showing his creamy white skin. You would absolutely love to see some more, but you also had to focus and declined politely. Instead, you opted to hold onto his arm for warmth and comfort, which he gladly accepted.
Together, you started towards the lower decks, where the sound had originated. Sanji had turned from a mindless, mumbling idiot back into a sexy badass, leading the way with his arm around you. Only the sideways looks and pink cheeks betrayed his serious demeanor.
He opened the door that lead to the kitchen and the storage rooms. It was dark and quiet, the creaking of the ship could be heard clearer now. There was a trace of some sort - like cobweb? Thoughts of giant spiders invaded your mind and made you hold on to Sanji tighter. A small gasp escaped him, but he stayed strong. You pointed to the trail of thin strings and he nodded, walking in front of you. You followed the trail to a wooden chest in the corner that was usually reserved for Sanji's kitchen supplies. He carefully lifted the lid, ready to strike, when he stumbled back from a terrifying scream!
A high pitched shriek echoed through the ship, followed by loud wailing.
"I am so sorry Sanji!" A high voice cried.
"Chopper! What are you doing here?!" Sanji asked the reindeer. Chopper lay in the chest, covered in what you now identified as...
"Stuffing your face with cotton candy? That was for tomorrow's breakfast!" Sanji scolded the smallest crewmember, that quickly began to cry from shame.
"Sanji! I am so sorry! I woke up and got so hungry, and than I smelled the cotton candy!" He munched on a hoof full of sugary webs.
Sanji couldn't stay mad at him and just sighed. Poor chopper looked so guilty, you had to pick him up and comfort him. His fur was a bit scratchy, but you hugged the little guy and let him sit on your arm. He was really sticky and smelled like sugar.
"Chopper, did you make a loud noise?" You asked him.
"No, I was in the chest for a while and ate. Di...did....d..did something go bump in the night???"
After calming chopper and storing him securely on your shoulders, the three of you moved further through the inner rooms of the ship.
Next came the storage rooms - especially dark for their lack of windows, extra creepy because of all the stuff in them. Chopper clang to your shirt as Sanji held your hand. He went in front of you and opened the first door, slowly, shining his light inside - crates, barrels, nothing. He moved the stream of light around, making the shadows dance. Nothing! What a relief.
Bump
Something, somewhere in thay corridor, dared to go bump. The three of you got closer together and Sanji pushed you behind him again, taking the lead. He swallowed hard, shining the light around the dark hallway. The doors were all closed and it was silent again.
Taptap
The sound of something walking could be heard, but nothing was there.
Taptap
Like naked feet on the floor. Sanji's light moved more erratic now, searching the hallway.
"Gh...ghost...ghost" Chopper whined into your ear. It was hard to disagree.
"What the...?" Sanji screamed as he moved the light up to the ceiling! An inhumane contortion of limbs hung there, clad in a red shroud. It looked like...
"Goddammit Luffy get down!" You screamed at your captain, who tried to sneak a massive chunk of meat on the bone past Sanji.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Sanji exploded as Luffy landed with his cheeks full. "I was so hungry! I couldn't wait for breakfast!" He protested, holding his cheek while trying to stuff more meat into his mouth before Sanji could reclaim it.
One hour later
"IS ANYONE SLEEPING TONIGHT???" Sanji screamed, ready to beat the marbles out of Zoro (who was caught sleeping in the cooler), Franky (who did some night-repairs on the mini merry) and Robin, who just wanted to get in on the fun and terrorised you with endless nightmarish creations out of hands and eyes.
"How could you Robin-chan??" Sanji asked with tears in his eyes.
"It was so fun" She chuckled.
"Anyway. I think I am done for tonight." Sanji turned around and left the rest of the crew in the dining room with a late night snack. He looked a bit disappointed and you decided to cheer him up before bed.
"Would you bring me back to my room? I think I am a bit scared after all of that..." You told him and brought the smile back to his face.
"Of course madame!" He offered you his arm and you took it gladly. He led you out to the grass again and looked up at the stars. The nights in the city with all its lights couldn't compare to the clear sky above the open ocean with its abundance of sparkling stars. You looked up for a while in silence, together. Or so you thought- when you saw a movement in the corner of your eyes and looked around, Sanji's big blue eyes were fixed on you. They were so beautiful, reflecting the colour of the sea and the sky alike. His lids closed and his lips moved closer as he leaned down.
Bump
Both of you jumped at the sound. It came from the big lion's head! You looked at each other and nodded.
"Bet it's Nami." You said. Not many possible culprits left.
Sanji took you into his arms and air-walked towards the sound. A dark silhouette stood on the figurehead - a strangely thin, tall one. It turned around, slowly. Empty, dark eyesockets stared at you.
"yoooooooo-" a thin, ghostly voice wailed.
"AHHHHHHHH!" You both screamed as Sanji fire-kicked the thing with full force. It's clothes caught fire so that you could see it fly like a comet to the horizon and come down in the water several miles ahead. While it followed its trajectory you could hear a "HOOOOOOOO" ending in a splash.
"Did you just kick Brook into the sea?" You asked the cook.
"Yes." He answered, swallowing.
"He'll lose all his energy and sink."
"Yup." He answered.
You looked at each other, tired.
Wordless, Sanji pulled his shirt over his head and threw it in your arms. With a perfect form, he jumped into the see, diving smoothly down to save his friend.
A thing behind you went bump in the night.
"Fuck off Usopp I've had enough now" You informed your cremate without turning around. Enough for one night, you thought and looked at the shirt in you arms. It smelled like cologne and cooking.
Tumblr media
I hope you liked it and that it was a good read before bed!

AITA for telling people I don't care about fandom drama unless it somehow directly involved me? Maybe some people will read this and go "what? No???" And if that's the case I'm gonna be snickering to myself but I digress. I'm a digital artist trying to find my footing in this hellscape of an online environment with tumblr being broken as it is and twitter going down in flames slowly, DeviantArt supporting AI and I don't think I need to go on. For a long, long time I was a fandom artist however and one of the 'bigger' names in a fairly small community. I've 'fell off' as they say because of some beef with people I didn't choose to have but hey, tale as old as time with fandoms am I right? We mess up and move on with our lives. SO YEAH that aside, when you've been through stuff like that and grow up a bit you realize that it was all a pretty stupid waste of time and energy and now I'm in my mid-20s and would really just like to focus on my art. I still make fan art for this specific thing and like make fan art for basically anything I enjoy nowadays and just...spread out my skills more so I got a better portfolio and all that. I'm really just vibing so to speak. Then a while ago I got DMed by someone in my server about some beef they were having with another user in my server. The kicker is that none of said beef was actually taking place in my server but in another server owned by the person DMing me. It's as if you're the manager of a starbucks and the manager from the Burger King across the street comes in like 'Yeah your employee was being shitty in my Burger King so I don't think I'll be going to this StarBucks anymore >:(" Like, what do you want me to do with that information? I can't talk to someone about behavior I didn't even see any damning evidence of and I'm not going to accuse someone of something based on something a stranger said. Somehow this conversation went from me explaining that I'm not about to ban someone or adhere to somebody else's 'blacklist' over things I have seen no proof of, to the stranger DMing me that a lot of people 'are intimidated' by me or that I have them blocked 'for no reason' setting off my paranoia like no other. I had recently dealt with being ghosted by friends who turned around and posted a call-out (with zero evidence mind you, not a single screenshot because they in fact, wiped WHOLE ENTIRE chats as they contained proof of the opposite) and those people stalking me for WEEKS, had to start over fresh and everything. So naturally I didn't like this very much and bluntly stated that if I blocked anyone, it's probably for a good reason and that it's not my problem if that somehow hurt their feelings, I need to look out for my own safety online. I fear I was a little TOO blunt because I did say something along the lines of 'I'm sorry but I do not care, I'm too old for fandom drama not involving me, I'm trying to be professional.' and cut the conversation off because I was exhausted and uncomfortable. I've been told that this was a just a weird and wacky instance and that I didn't do anything wrong, that people who do think I did need to go outside and touch grass and all that but hyea, it stuck with me because I worry that people are badmouthing me behind my back a lot. TL,DR: Got told by a follower that other people in our very small community were scared of me, had them blocked for 'no reason' and that somehow hurt their feelings and that my reputation was apparently decided by what my individual followers behaved like in other servers and spaces because apparently one little spat was enough to have someone threaten to distance themselves from me all-together while I wasn't involved at all. So, I figured if anyone is an expert at these fandom shenanigans, it's gotta be the veterans of the tumblr court.
What are these acronyms?

Surprise @pianolote!
I got this idea after a BBH stream and thought it would be fun to write anyway, then I remembered it would probably work really well with your request.
Not directly trying to imply or headcannon he's neurodivergent, but I am and experience similar things, and this unintentionally helped me to write both perspectives.
Happy holidays everyone, I hope you enjoy.
And thank you for putting this event together @mcytblrholidayexchange!
Fidget
1,147 words
Possible dissociation possible panic attack a and non verbal episode warnings I guess?
"Wait, where are you going, don't you think this is cool?"
I asked smiling as we ran towards the elevator.
"Why would you make this?"
They asked with a slightly quivering voice.
"Cause it was like our little slice of Heaven while we were in Hell!"
We reached the elevator block and teleported out of the room, they spun on their heels, and looked me in the eyes.
"I think you might have finally lost it."
And they ran out of the building above my creation.
While I was left standing silent and frozen.
I did it again. I don't know what I did. But I did it again.
Why does no one think this is as nice to be in as me? Why does no one want to stay? Why does no one think I did a good job?
I made a mistake. This is a mistake. I'm a mistake.
My ears were ringing, not like the sound of a bell, but the continuous single note of otherwise silence and disuse and the rushing of blood traveling through my body.
Someone had severed my vocal chords, and then took a needle to sew my lips closed just to be safe.
All the breath that had not yet been stolen passed through the void that was my throat, passing through the chasm swiftly and quietly, cold like ice.
"Bad?"
Oh. A voice. I don't know who or where it was coming from. But it was real. I think.
"What's going on, buddy?"
I'm someone's buddy?
"Hey, are you cold? You're shaking a little bit."
Oh. I guess I am. No, I'm not cold.
"Not feeling like talking right now? That's okay, I get it, some quiet time doesn't hurt."
I want to, I should be able to, but I can't. Can't whoever that is see that someone or something took away that ability? I tried to say something, make any kind of noise really, but I could only feel cold air where the heavy feeling of words usually were.
"Hey, don't force yourself, I understand. Can you nod or shake your head?"
I think so.
"Hey, there we go, good job."
I guess I nodded.
"Did something happen?"
Nod.
"Do you need anything?"
Shake.
"Do you wanna sit down?"
Nod.
"Can I touch you so we can sit down?"
Nod.
I felt something, I'm guessing it was whoever was talking's hands, on both my shoulders, and they helped sit me down.
"There we go. Do you want me to leave?"
Shake.
"Can I sit next to you?"
Nod.
So they did.
It was a strange sensation.
My vision hadn't blacked out, I could still see things happening around me, but it was kind of blurred around the edges, like a dream almost.
Same for my hearing, I knew there were probably sounds coming from the person sitting next to me and from myself and from the other life around us, but it almost sounded like tv static.
I came back to earth, in a way, after an undetermined amount of time, and regained my senses.
The ground I was sitting on was hard, of course it was, it's the ground.
I reached my hand out from sitting in my lap, curled into a fist and playing absentmindedly with a bit of my cloak, expecting to find the smooth floor at my fingertips, and instead brushing against soft grass. I lifted my head and looked around, expecting to see walls and decor, instead landing my eyes on other building structures and landscape. I plucked a flower that was growing with a small collection of others in arms reach and began to play with the delicate petals.
When did I get outside? Oh right someone was with me. When did we get outside?
My throat didn't feel as cold or empty, so I tried to clear it, testing the ability to make noise again, and apparently succeeded.
"Hey buddy."
Big eyes. Kind smile. Chiseled jawline.
"Foolish."
"The one and only. Feeling any better?"
I cleared my throat and let my eyes wander to the flowers again.
"Not totally up for taking yet still?"
"It's fine. Just. Don't know what to say."
"Would questions help?"
"Okay."
"Do you know what made you feel like this quiet time needed to happen?"
"Mhm."
"Do you wanna talk about it?"
"Maybe. Not right now though. Is that okay?"
"Course it is. Doesn't have to be any of my business if you don't want it to be. Wanna sit here a bit longer?"
"Okay."
I continued to fidget by messing with and picking at the skin around my fingers, because I didn't know what else to do, until my hands were gently separated.
I was confused and mentally searched for something to do with my source of physical stimming suddenly gone, until something was placed in my hands, a flower.
Foolish had moved to sit in front of instead of beside me, and was just moving his hands from hovering above mine after placing the flower, which I gently started to use as a fidget instead.
"Sorry. Just didn't want you to hurt yourself."
We made eye contact.
"I wasn't. I don't think."
He paused, mouth slightly agape.
"Oh. That's okay. Doesn't that feel better to mess with though?"
I moved the fingers on one hand to grasp the flower, the other five fingers brushing against the petals, gently taking in as much detail as I could.
"Maybe."
His eyes dropped slightly but his smile was still soft.
"Okay. I can work with that."
I continued to stim, occasionally glancing from the flower to Foolish, who's eyes searched the landscape, which I appreciated, being perceived in general isn't the greatest feeling but especially in moments like this, I cleared my throat to let him know it was okay to make eye contact again.
"Hi Bad."
"I'm sorry."
"What for?"
"I don't know. Everything. What I did."
"What did you do?"
I opened my mouth to respond, but stopped to consider the question. What did I do? Why was I apologizing? He must have seen the cogs in my brain turning so he spoke up.
"Are you apologizing because you think you should or because you know you should?"
"I think."
"I think so too. Why do you think you should? Because I think whatever you're feeling or whatever thoughts are playing pinball inside that head of yours just means you're alive."
My mouth stayed open like I was going to respond, but I didn't try saying anything, I just put down the flower.
"Foolish."
"Mhm?"
I leaned forward and wrapped my arms around him.
"Oh. Guess we're hugging. Okay."
My grasp loosened slightly in uncertainty. I should have asked. But he didn't loosen his, it actually got a bit tighter.
I guess this was okay. I guess I did okay. I guess I would be okay.

Leonardo request: he and mc break up (he breaks up with her so she will go back to her time and she does), and now it is her time and she runs into him after she has been back in her time for a while and he has lived through the years until he has finally caught up with her
if it is a happy reunion or painful because she is with someone, I leave up to you!
Tumblr media
A/N: Here you go, lovely Bellerose. Thank you for your request!
Leonardo x female Reader
I had to pick a hair color for the reader in this, which I usually don't, so I apologize if that bothers anyone.
Word Count: 3157
Tumblr media
You would think there is nothing that can rival the beauty of a moonlit lake, a sky littered with silvery stars, the soft whisper of grass as it's ruffled by a gentle wind. But the enchanting scene surrounding you is nothing compared to the glow of Leonardo’s golden eyes, the softness in his smile, the feel of his hands as they hold yours. His gaze lights a warmth inside you that spreads slowly like honey, sweet and delicious. He leans down and you rise to meet him, lips already parted in anticipation. 
It is not what you imagined. 
It is so much more. 
He tastes vaguely smoky, evoking the comfort of a fire on a cold night. And sweet, but not excessively so. More like chocolate and hazelnuts, rich and earthy and absolutely decadent. As he wraps his arms around you and pulls you close to the shelter of his body, you find another word to describe what kissing him feels like: home.
Tumblr media
Leonardo extends his hand, helping you up into the carriage. The door closes and soon you are rolling over the uneven cobblestone streets, away from the concert hall. He’s tucked you under the protection of his arm, unable to resist the urge to hold you close. Even at night, when you are curled up in his bed, he needs to touch you. Maybe it’s only his ankle over yours or his hand on your back, but you are his lifeline to finding joy in the endless, weary march of time and he wants every single moment possible to be filled with you. 
Your sigh pulls him out of his reverie and he turns to look at you. Your sparkling diamond earrings swing gently with the swaying of the carriage as you look out the window and at the darkened city that rolls by outside of it. 
“Cara mia? Is everything ok?”
It takes you a moment to tear your gaze away from the glass, shaking your head as if clearing away cobwebs. 
“I’m fine. It’s just….” You trail off and he frowns slightly, nudging you with his lips to your temple.
“It’s just?”
He feels the way you sigh again, with your whole body, a wave passing from you to him. Whatever you’re feeling weighs on you heavily.
“The song Mozart played. ‘Sonata facile.’ My mother taught me to play that on the piano. And she knew it because her mother taught her. And I just always thought….” You lift your shoulder in a small shrug, glancing at the darkness through the window again. “I just thought I would teach it to my children someday.”
His heart feels like it's been dropped with sudden speed into a frozen lake, splintering as it crashes through the ice. Grateful you’re not facing him, he takes a moment to compose himself before speaking, his tone deceptively casual. “Children were a part of the plan then, yeah?”
Your earrings swing, glittering even as you speak in a quiet voice, hushed like dusk as it settles across the sky. “I was an only child with parents that were often away on business. That could be….lonely, sometimes. So I promised myself that I would have lots of children so there would always be noise in the house. And so they would always have someone to play with.” 
It is impossible for him to miss the flash of sadness that crosses your features, subtle like lightning too distant to be bright but unmistakable nonetheless. Long fingers of cold wrap themselves around his heart. What you have dreamed of for yourself is something he cannot give you. Something he will never be able to give you.
Even as you sigh again, nestling closer to him, resting your sweet cheek against his shoulder, he can’t shake it. 
And spends the rest of the carriage ride avoiding the sight of the darkness outside the window.

The dishrag hits the marble counter with a satisfying whack. Untying your apron, you bid Sebastian a good night as you make your way out of the kitchen, your steps hurried as you make your way towards Leonardo’s room. Worry had been gnawing at you ever since you returned home from the concert last night. 
He had been unusually quiet, almost distracted in a way you were not familiar with from him. You asked him to unhook your gown and there was no provocative curve of his lips, no low sensuous murmuring. He had simply undone your gown and then proceeded to undress himself, the motions perfunctory, almost careless. It was only when you had joined him in bed after removing your jewelry and unpinning your hair, when you had slid your arms around him and pulled him to you, stretching yourself under him like a cat in its favorite patch of sunshine, that he returned to you, lowering his head to claim your lips, his hands coming to life as they slid their way over the curve of your hips, across the span of your ribcage before finally sliding up into the expanse of your soft auburn hair.
And even then, when he made love to you, it had felt….different. He was slow, exploring the entire expanse of your body, deliberately lingering, as if committing every part of it to memory. True, you had only been intimate a handful of times, but the times before this were electric, your body feeling like it might overload and burst like lightning, illuminating the whole mansion with the force of your radiance. But last night you were embers, glowing with the warmth of his slow, tender attention. And when it was over, you lay with your cheek against his heart, its steady rhythm lulling you to sleep.
He’s not in his room. Or the library. Or the dining room. Or the salon. You pause at the bottom of the staircase, wondering if you should go knocking on the doors of some of the other residents when Arthur approaches, a cup of coffee in one hand and a piece of dark fudge in the other.
“Hello luv. A bit late to be wandering ‘bout the place all alone. I’d offer you my company but….” His blue eyes are alight with mischief. “I’m afraid ol’ Leo might not be pleased with it.”
“Do you happen to know where he is? I’ve been looking everywhere for him.”
Arthur pauses, already a few steps up and gestures with the fudge to the top of the stairs. “Last I saw him he was visiting Comte.”
You thank him, pass him on the stairs and hurry towards the sitting room Comte uses on this floor. Your knocking gets no answer so you boldly enter. It’s empty. Disappointment shadows your heart and you are about to leave when you notice the door to the small balcony is open. 
He’s there, alone, forearms resting on the smooth stone of the balcony railing, a lit cigarillo between his fingers. The balcony faces the mansion’s gardens and he’s staring intently out into the dark as if he might be able to find some answers there.
“Leo?”
He turns, startled and then breathes out when he sees it’s you. “Cara mia.”
Frowning, you make your way to his side. “Is everything ok?”
He is silent, wrestling with a decision he needs to make. You wait, letting him battle it out internally, watching the thin plume of smoke from his cigarillo as it rises, twisting and turning as if anxious and unsettled.
“The door to your time will be opening again in two days. Maybe…..you should use it.”
His words are so unexpected you wonder for a moment if you understood them.
“What……why would you say that?” 
You can hear the tremor in your voice, the aftershock of his suggestion jolting you.
His jaw clenches, his gaze still searching the dark and silent gardens.
“Maybe you would be happier there. Could live the life you always dreamed for yourself. See your family again. Your hometown. There are a thousand reasons.”
You reach out, placing a firm hand on his arm. “And one very big, very stubborn one right here.” His breath shudders from his body as you pull, forcing him to turn towards you. “I made a commitment to you, Leonardo. We discussed this. I’m staying.”
He tosses his cigarillo over the railing, its small glow swallowed by the night. When he finally meets your gaze, the conflict in his beautiful eyes makes your heart ache. “Cara mia…..I cannot give you a family. I cannot promise you safety. I-”
Your hands reach up to cup his face, your grip determined. This is no time for gentleness. He needs to understand. You speak slowly, each word carefully weighed and measured.
“I want to stay with the wonderful, funny, intelligent, kind man that I have fallen in love with. For as long as I can. And there is nothing that can change my mind.”
He holds your gaze as you hold your breath, waiting. Finally he nods and you echo his gesture, nodding back in response. “Ok….” you whisper. “We’re ok.” You step into the circle of his arms, burying your face in the soft, rich fabric of his clothing. 
He holds you close, but his eyes remain open, once again returning to the impenetrable darkness of the gardens.
Tumblr media
The next day he’s gone again but you try to keep yourself busy and ignore the uneasy feeling that keeps scratching at your heart. The sun sinks to its rest and the moon rises, cold and pale among its nest of stars, and still there is no Leonardo. No other residents have seen him and worry flashes in Comte’s golden eyes when you ask if he knows where Leo has been all day.
Your thoughts are heavy, each one hammering a different worry in your mind as you make your way up the stairs and to his room. He’s bound to come back from wherever he is and then you’ll be waiting.
It’s far into early morning when Leonardo returns, pushing his way through his bedroom door and stumbling inside. You sit up in bed instantly, sleep having only caressed you and never quite fully taken over.
“Where have you been?” You can’t keep the frustration out of your voice or block the sound of your thrashing heart in your ears. “I’ve been worried!”
His movements are slow, radiating something unusual. Something that slowly begins twisting your stomach into an uncomfortable knot. 
“A man can go out, yeah? Without a thousand questions.”
His voice is thick, perhaps with drink, perhaps with something else. Either way it sends a cold shudder through you as you slide out of bed.
“Leonardo…..what’s going on? This isn’t like you.”
He turns, his eyes liquid amber, unnaturally bright in the soft orange light of the lamp you left burning low.
“Then maybe you don’t know me as well as you think. Maybe I’m not the warm, intelligent, kind man you have fooled yourself into believing I am.”
Hearing your own words thrown back at you like daggers nearly sends you staggering back to the bed. A hand reflexively rises to cover your heart as if you had really been pierced by some wicked blade.
“That’s not possible. I know you. I know who you are and–”
He growls, closing the distance between you quicker than you can draw a breath. He does not lay a hand on you, instead pinning you in place with the force of his heated glare.
“I am a pureblood.” His voice is low, the words dragging over your heart like plow teeth across the earth. “I am eternal. You are a minute, yeah? A second in an endless succession of days and nights. A blink of an eye.” Your lips part but before you can even see if you are capable of sound, he continues. “I am dangerous.”
“You would never hurt me.” The words slip out, small and unsteady, but born of the conviction that still lives in your aching heart.
His eyes close a moment, freeing you from the pain of his excruciating glare. And then with a snap of his head, his fangs protract and he growls, the sound more primal than anything you’ve ever heard from him. A primordial fear skitters down your spine, sends goosebumps across your skin. He’s changed the framework from lovers, to something much more sinister: predator and prey.
“Get out.” 
You don’t know if you sob or if you simply turn and run. The way back to your own room is a blur of shadows. It is only when you have closed your door, have turned the key in its lock, that your legs turn to water and you sink to the carpet, your breath coming in uneven, painful gasps.
He has never threatened you before. You never thought he would.
Now the only sound you hear is the cracking of your heart as it splinters into a thousand tiny pieces.
Tumblr media
The next day, when the door to your world opens, you walk through it.
He is not there to say goodbye.
Tumblr media
Epilogue:  21st century London
The vintage bookstore is a popular one. Some people are milling about the coffee bar, deciding how they want their caffeine intake today. A handful of children are sitting on large, oversized bean bags, excitedly flipping through colorful books. There is a low buzz of people’s talking, an undercurrent of appreciation for stories and writing and reading that he is happy to be around. He is somewhere between the New Releases and Staff Favourites bookshelves, thumbing his way through a copy of “Love in the Time of Cholera”, when the small bell above the bookstore chimes, announcing another patron exiting or entering. He still doesn’t know what exactly caused him to lift his gaze from the page. Perhaps the hand of Fate caught his chin and pulled. 
He is not prepared for the sight of you. He has not seen you in over one hundred and thirty years. But now, as if by magic, there you are. For the first time in a century his heart leaps with emotion, hurriedly and haphazardly clearing away the cobwebs of loneliness that had settled there, delicate yet incessant. He steps behind the bookshelf, forcing his eyes closed. They want nothing more than to drink in the sight of you, an oasis in the desert of desolation he himself had created when he pushed you away that nightmarish evening.
The one where he had made the decision that he would not destroy your dreams by selfishly keeping you all for himself, robbing you of the chance to build the life you imagined for yourself.
So he did what he deemed necessary to make you leave.
You had stepped through the door that led back, your heart broken. And he had been the one swinging the hammer.
Time is a merciless teacher. Its harshest lessons were taught in the black heart of night, that gaping pit of time when no one could hear the rattling sound of his remorse, the anguished cries of regret. It was then, before the relief of morning’s pale light, that he understood what he had done. While he had, at the time, seen his intentions as noble, all he had truly accomplished was to destroy the chance at happiness you had been so freely and adamantly offering him. 
He breathes out slowly.
He has been given a chance. A gift. He must not squander it.
His golden eyes open and he peers around the bookshelf. You look the way he remembers. A bit older, maybe, but it's the same face that has visited his dreams countless times, the one he has kissed every angle of and traced with devout fingertips. 
The cold of a London winter has left your cheeks tinged pink, your hair dotted with tiny snowflakes that are slowly melting, glistening even in the book store’s artificial light. You look enchanting, like a fairy tale character from one of the children’s books on display. 
A knot has formed in his throat and he swallows against it, trying to ignore the twisting of his stomach and the roaring of his heartbeat. Leonardo da Vinci, for the first time in centuries, is nervous.
He’s about to step forward, to say the name that hasn’t crossed his lips in ages except for anguished whispers in his sleep, when something brushes past him, lightly bumping into his leg, and then haphazardly carrying on, barreling forward towards its destination.
“Mummy!!”
You turn and your face is alight, as bright and warm as summer. Dropping down, you open your arms and catch the cannonball of a little girl, pulling her close to you.
A man with a sleeping baby strapped to his chest brushes past Leonardo, offering a polite “Pardon me” before he stops in front of you, his shoulders dropping in relief.
“I’m sorry, darling. She saw you and took off like a shot.” He sounds slightly exasperated as he approaches you and his wayward daughter who has now thrown her small arms around your neck.
She has your soft auburn hair and bright, intelligent eyes. 
Leonardo’s heart is quietly crumbling in his chest.
You stand, lifting the little girl up along with you, much to her delight. “Did you find a book for the plane ride, Cara?”
This is what he wanted for you. So why does it hurt so much?
She nods, brushing her hair away from her face enthusiastically. “Yes!” She turns. “Show her, Daddy.” Your husband smiles, his warm golden-brown eyes softening at the sight of you two. One hand absently pats the soft baby carrier and its sleeping passenger while the other holds out the book. Your daughter reaches over, taking it.
Your husband looks a bit like him. Same brown hair, same golden eyes. Leo’s heart continues to break.
“Oh, a children’s guide to the most famous paintings in the world. What a good choice.” You slowly set her down and she reaches for your hand. 
“It has all the best ones in it, Mummy. Including your very favorite, the Mona Lisa!”
There is now nothing but dust.
You smile, running a hand over her hair. “I can’t wait to look at it with you.” 
As you wait in line to pay for the book, the small bell above the bookstore chimes, announcing another patron exiting or entering. You don’t know why you glance up toward the door. There’s nothing to see except the receding figure of a man in a long brown duster as he crosses the street, arm raised to hail a taxi.
Your gaze lingers, inexplicably drawn to him, until your daughter tugs on your hand. 
“Mummy?”
Jolted back to the present, you shake your head to clear the strange, momentary fog, offering the woman at the register an apologetic smile.
“I’m sorry. How much for the book?”

I will gladly interact with you! Send an ask! @ me! I would love to RP with you. I will do an (IC) promo if you ask (assuming i'm popular enough for that lmao)!
Hello Hello ~
My name is Tix (they/them, occasionally it/its), and welcome to my rotomblr blog! I'm 23, I'm from Unova and i have a small café on Route 3 right outside Striaton City. If you don't find it, just look for the Daycare on the hill, walk up that hill and look for the building at the foot of the hill! And now come in and get a cupcake, you earned it!
Don't be alarmed by the poison types around here! Most of them are registered to me and are completely harmless unless you touch them. They are also friendly, so if you wanna pet them, ask me! I'll gladly provide handling advice.
I also have an employee, Olivia. I might occasionally mention him. Maybe she'll also make a few post here and there.
There is also Brandy, my Rotom. Let's hope they can behave!
As for my Pokémon, there are a few! [Complete list of Pokémon including retcons at the end in the ooc section]
My Koffing, Coffee! The shop's named after him! Look at his FABULOUS moustache!
Bienenstich the Scolipede, she's very good with kids. If you need someone to look after your toddler, she's the gal! (i am so not kidding)
Cream the Haunter. No, your drink isn't haunted, she just helps me out a bit.
Muffin the Roselia, he's the primary gardener. I would do more around there but he doesn't let me.
Poppy the Toxicroak, he's a cool guy. He also makes music with me.
Basil the Toxtricity. Best bassist i've ever met (sorry Roxie).
Carrot Cake the Clodsire. He doesn't do much, but that's okay.
Rhubarb the Ekans. Little rascal. Don't trip over him.
Eggplant the Skorupi. He's new, still getting to know him myself!
Soup the Grimer is also quite new. I hatched him from a strange egg.
Also here's two pics of me. (//i forgor what the picrew were. if anyone knows, let me know)
//I will draw your OCs badly
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
OOC below the cut:
// Hi, hello. I run this blog as a side blog, so I'll like and follow from my main @fire-water-grass-core. If you need to address me (the player/mun), I'm okay with any pronouns, and if you need a name you can call me Kama, Nox or Cheese. I also run:
@zekrom-sword where i explore some darker themes (ig?) regarding pokémon hunting. This blog is less focused on blogging though and goes more into headcanon/fanfic territory. I'm happy to RP with Felix (muse over there) though!
@fire-water-grass-core is the main, as mentioned. Originally it was planned for that one to be a personal blog for Olivia, Tix' employee, but i didn't really get into it. I mostly use it for OOC stuff regarding rotomblr ig?
@kamataros is my general, non-pkmn-irl blog. idk what you would want there? but feel free to check it out. I post a lot of shit and a lot of it is untagged.
NOW for the rules ig?
ZERO: don't be a dick. easy, right? right. This is the important part :)
First: blanket #unreality warning. I will tag posts usually as pokemon irl, #pkmn irl or #pokeblogging. The actual unreality tag is reserved that genuinely blends reality and fiction (such as talking about animals in the context of the pokemon world.)
Second: i went on a BIG hiatus for like 6 months. I've retconned a few things, but i didn't want to actually go through the blog and delete stuff. Instead, i tagged all old posts as #Koffing-Time-1.0. Everything with this tag is not neccesarily canon anymore. case-to-case basis i guess.
Third: If anything comes up, I'll try to put a warning tag. I'll keep it to one format: #cw [trigger]. I will probably still use them sparingly, since i'm personally okay with most things. Please tell me if i should tag something.
Fourth: I won't participate in high stakes a lot and probably never in ultra stakes. Everything will be appropriately tagged #high stakes pokereality on the off chance that i do join. I don't think i will be getting into details like "low stakes" and "medium stakes" for tagging.
Fifth: Regarding sentient/sapient pokémon: they are allowed. I might ignore them if i ever do any story-arcs or so, but go ahead! (this was different for 1.0)
Sixth: Ask games will be tagged with #ask game. Once i reblog them, they are open indefinitely, including old ones from #Koffing-Time-1.0. The tag will be for the initial meme only, not the answers to make it possible to find them. Generally, please put the question for the meme into your ask, especially if it's an older ask game. (Feel free to ask Brandy or Olivia as well, but if not specified it will be Tix answering)
OTHER TAGS:
I'm trying to use a funny tagging system for blogs i "frequently" interact with (as in.. i am not chronically on tumblr so "frequently" is a bit much to say)
Out of Character posts will be tagged with #ooc . This goes only for posts where a significant portion is ooc.
Out of Character answers to asks will be tagged #cheesy answers
Out of Character notes will be marked as // or //ooc (including tags)
I might reblog art or even posts that tix isn't involved in. these will be tagged #//reblog
Posts involving details about certain headcanons will be tagged #headcanon
Image descriptions or Video description will be in [brackets] .
Also here is a (not complete) list of a few headcanons that i use.
I'll update and edit this post as well as reblog it if something changes.
Lastly
I, Cheese, Mun will use pink coloured text in addition to the //
Tix will be writing/talking in colourless text
Olivia will be writing/talking in blue text
Brandy will be writing/talking in red text
otherwise, i won't use much colours in posts. this intro blog stuff will be the exception to make it easier to read (i hope)
That being said: feel free to interact, feel free to send a DM, feel free to send asks, I'm happy to do offscreen posts and RP and whatnot, I won't bite and i won't poison you. Probably.
PS: little thing about reblog chains (i guess?)
Now, that was a long one. If you read it all, congratulations, have a cookie. Or a coffee. And most importantly: have fun!
PPS: Here's a list of Tix'Pokémon:
Coffee the Koffing
Muffin the Roselia
Bienenstich the Scolipede
Cream the Haunter
Poppy the Toxicroak
Basil the Toxtricity
Cracker the Murkrow (retconned) [it hurt me to do this but there are so many already]
Cheese the (shiny) Crobat (retconned) [it hurt me to do this but there are so many already]
Rhubarb the Ekans
Chocco the Salandit (retconned)
Carrot Cake the Clodsire
Pumpkin the Bellsprout (retconned)
Loaf the Trubbish (retconned)
Yoghurt the Yveltal (retconned)
Bun the (ultra domesticated) Trubbish (retconned)
Roll the (ultra domesticated) Tubbish (retconned)
Appleslice the (ultra domesticated) Mareanie (reconned)
Bacon the (ultra domesticated) Mareanie (retconned)
Lettuce the (ultra domesticated) Mareanie (retconned)

Annie Stonefruit the (albino) Cranidos (retconned)
Jack the Pumpkaboo (retconned)
Brandy the Rotom

Vaela 🦋 🎁🎈 🧨, Lehala 🧿 🦝 🎀 🍇, Ayala 🐁 🦴 🍷 🐹
♡~OC Asks~♡
Vaela
🦋What is their favorite season?
Fall, for sure. The trees are such pretty colors, there is a crisp bite to the air. And everything is reds and browns! Perfect color combination for her
🎁What is something they keep like: a souvenir, a keepsake, or a family heirloom; that means a lot to them? Why is it so important to them?
Hmmm. I think that once all is said and done and she's off doing Her Thing and makes it clear to her family that this is her life now, her dad would gift her with an old quiver of his. It's actually his dad's quiver, and it's fairly simple, but it harkens back to the days of when they were true Wood Elves—likely from back Aeranth at some point in their lineage. He would have given her the bow that goes with it, but the bows she uses are so much better and his girl deserves the best. But at least she can have a piece of them on her little adventures with her, holding the ammo that keeps her safe. And of course this means a lot to her. It's nothing fancy, which goes contrary to her need for pretty things, but the thought there is overwhelming. It's a blessing to go out into the world and live the life she's made for herself, while also a prayer to keep her safe in a way that her family still feels they have failed to do (which of course they are wrong).
🎈If they could travel anywhere, where would they go?
Well, she pretty much does go everywhere now, doesn't she? What with the work she does for Aeranth. But I suppose she wishes she could spend more time on the shores and ocean. She is so familiar with the woods and forests now, but not so much the sea. She'd love to get a taste of it.
🧨If they could screw anyone without any consequences, who would they choose?
Delethil hate fuck let's go. I kid, I kid. (Or do I?) But I honestly don't really know. She remains skittish in my head until further development can be had for her. And she never really met anyone on their travels that she felt that kind of desire for. Not even Cobalt.
Lehala
🧿Do they have a superstition or belief? Such as "black cats bring bad luck", belief in ghosts, tarot, crystals, meditation, etc.
No one can touch her weapons. Only those she trusts most can handle them, and even then it makes her twitchy. This is definitely stemming from a fear of outsiders to her clan, on top of the idea that it leaves too much of an opportunity for sabotoge—even unintentional damage! But she fully believes that she will die or get seriously hurt if someone else handles her weapons. It'd need to go through rigorous tests first before she used them in battle after that. And even then she'd still be leery.
🦝What do they smell like?
Filed under: things I never consider when creating characters. But I imagine she smells kind of earthy. Fresh cut grass. Likely stemming from the grass and dirt stains on her armor after sparring.
🎀Do they have something they collect? {Stamps, rocks, stickers, etc}
Back home she definitely collects little trinkets from successful skirmishes. An arrowhead. A dagger. A broken blade. Things that remind her that she survived and is still here. She's a much more simple lady than Vaela. Pretty things don't tempt her.
🍇What is their sexuality? And what is their "type"?
She's always felt more fluid to me. Pan or bi. Definitely demi-sexual, though. She does not trust anyone to be intimate with her that she does not trust implicitly. She is a warrior and is keenly aware of how vulnerable sex makes a person. There is no desire where there isn't absolute trust for her.
🐁Do they find a creature cute, that normal people don't? Such as spiders, rats, snakes, sharks, etc?
She is a Star Wars lady, and a Mandalorian besides. There have undoubtedly been strange creatures she's come across that most would have found repulsive that she cooed over. Thinking of strills at the moment. It is absolutely not uncommon for Mandos to look at a disgusting creature and go "Oh! A baby!"
🦴Have they ever broken a bone or had any sort of major injuries before? If so, what was their ailment?
OH, MANY. MANY AILMENTS AND INJURIES. Her lekku are scarred to hell, which means those injuries were painful and near debilitating. Lekku are extremely sensitive and major damage to them can even mean death. But not my girl. She's built different. Her lekku have definitely endured a good bit of injury, but she's always managed to recover. She's been in countless battles and skirmishes and sparring sessions. She's cracked rips, broken wrists, and been stabbed and slashed. Ayala has so many scars from the life she's lived as a Mandalorian, but none in particular really stand out. The physical injuries are easy, if you ask her. It's the injuries she bears in her soul that really weigh her down the most.
🍷What is their drink of choice? Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic?
Ugh. Star Wars drinks. Anything with a kick. She isn't picky. Sometimes you need a stiff drink to knock you on your ass after a particularly rough day in the field or on the hunt. When she needs to stay sharp, however, she drinks the strongest caf she can get her hands on. The squad yells at her that she needs to drink more water. But what good is that gonna do? Caf has water in it. And now she's awake for another 12 hours. What's water gonna do other than make her need to pee? Vys'kydir absolutely has put her in a chokehold until she agrees to drain her canteen.
🐹What "pet" names do they like being used for them? {Babe, Kitten, Puppy, Mutt, etc.}
You know what's coming: cyar'ika. ner cyare. alor (but sexy. you know.). (any chiss pet names there might be lmao)

oooh 16 (So I’ve been trying to be less chronically online and you know, find my People out in the public. Because real human beings are way more important than numbers on a screen. It’s just that this dating app is full of guys holding fish and/or guns, and I’m so, so ready to quit, so I have to know right now immediately what your whole deal is because I’m absolutely enchanted already) and taakitz maybe?
Get off dating apps, Lup said. Go outside and touch grass, Lup said. Maybe your dream man will rise from the depths of hell to serenade you, Lup said. Well, no, she didn't say that part, but she didn't object when Taako had suggested that outcome. And honestly? Honestly?? Taako had tried. He really had. Not the "perfect man will come out of hell to fall in love with you" thing- well, not exactly. But he had tried to actually go places and meet people instead of just scrolling through WizardsOnly.com for hours on end. Half those chucklefucks weren't even real wizards, anyway.
Logging on today had been- a distraction. A coping mechanism, if you will. It was an "I had a shitty day and I'm all out of ice cream" kind of day. The profiles on here were awful and downright embarrassing to read through sometimes and usually, they'd do a great job of making Taako feel much better about himself. He couldn't be worse than the sixteenth guy holding a bass. Like, c'mon. At least Taako had a salmon in his!
But then- then! Maybe the fiery gates of hell did open briefly because no one was allowed to be this good-looking with committing some kind of death crime. Mr. High cheekbones and half-pinned up hair, with a cool and dark aesthetic about him. There were no fishing pictures. There was no bragging about being voted into the local wizard consul.
There was, however, several photos of him amongst a group of old woman, all of whom were wearing bright, colorful clothes. The first picture of him was obviously a cropped selfie where someone had zoomed in on his face. The description was as followed:
Kravitz. 27.
And that was it. No introduction, no explanation from the gaggle of grandmas, no nothing. Taako was- well, Taako was delighted. Lup always said he had a tendency to go for people who seemed sort of aggressive but if something about this worked out, then he had physical proof that this man was not violently aggressive and/or mean. Old ladies didn't vibe with that. Fuck yes.
Taako opened up a new message.
sooooo I’ve been trying to be less chronically online and you know, find my People out in the public bc real human beings are way more important than numbers on a screen. it’s just that this dating website is full of guys holding fish and/or guns and I’m so, so ready to quit so I have to know right now immediately what your whole deal is because I’m absolutely enchanted already
He sat back, satisfied. Take that, Lup! He moved to click away from the tab but a bubble popped up under his messages, showing that Kravitz was already responding. Taako scooted his chair forward. It took a rather long time for him to type the message, so Taako did think, for a minute, that he was going to be offended. But when it finally popped up, it wasn't like that at all.
Message from Kravitz: I run a knitting circle.
Taako: A knitting circle?? go on
Kravitz: It's like... a grief thing. Like, "I'm so sorry your husband died, Susan, do you want to knit a blanket about it" kind of thing.
Taako: Delightful.
Taako paused, stretching his fingers over the keyboard. Go big or go home. This was a dating website, after all.
Taako: so listen. ur vv hot but I need to know if ur like, a murdered or if you have like,,, anger issues. bc my history is Not Great. please don't be a murderer
Kravitz: I don't think I'm a murderer? And that's a no on the anger issues. I think. Maybe? Should I ask someone?
Taako: I trust you.
Kravitz: Bold words from the guy who dated a murderer with anger issues.
Taako snorted, smiling for the first time all day. He cracked his knuckles and shook his hands out, setting them back on the keyboard.
Taako: You've got no idea, my dude.

"𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧' 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰?"
𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨, 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞
Tumblr media
Prim continues to rehearse in the room Diluc showed her earlier, struggling to find a song that could somehow fit the atmosphere and Mondstadt's vibes or agendas.
Hmm...what does Mondstadt...
She freezes as she remembers that song, it was...'her' favorite song. Prim could barely even remember anything or think of anything whenever Dandelions start playing, just remembering the girl she fell for.
"It wouldn't hurt, this could serve as my small step to closure...right?"
She hesitates as thoughts drown her once more, she closes her eyes and takes deep breaths.
"I think...I need fresh air..."
She slowly heads outside, telling one of the maids before heading somewhere in Dawn Winery. As she takes in the beautiful scenery, she slowly feels the pain leaving.
It'll continue hurting me like this until I truly get the closure...I want...
Just for me to remind myself that 'hey, you guys are friends now. No need to hold on to the past'
She hums as the breeze gently caresses her cheeks, feeling relaxed that somehow it made her calm. Grounded her more than anything and made her realize that she has to get over it somehow. After all, it's that girl's loss not hers. That girl lost someone who truly cared and dedicated themself to her despite seeing many beautiful girls and boys, Prim remained loyal and didn't care if the distance was too wide nor the wait would be longer than expected.
She sits on top of a hill nearby and hums.
"Every day we started fighting, every night we fell in love"
The pain kept clawing at her, as if telling her she deserves to feel it. She shouldn't move on from it, yet Prim ignores that and continues singing. The only way to calm her down.
"No one else could make me sadder, but no one else can lift me high above~"
She grips the clothing where her heart is, brows furrowing as the pain gets deeper and deeper. She had to let it out her chest, she's tired of crying. Tired of feeling like she should cry when no tears could ever come out. One where only a song could heal her a little, save her a little...a habit she used to have and escape reality's cruel reminders.
"I don't know what I was doing...when suddenly we fell apart~"
Back to December but I'd go back to November back when we were alright...
We fell in love in October...more like we fell apart in November...
Bound to falling apart...
Prim pushes those thoughts away and sings her heart out, only softly. It'd be rude to wake some people up at night just cause she's in pain.
"Nowadays, I cannot find her...but when we do, we'll get a brand new start..."
If you find her then what?
Will you let your walls fall apart again?
Will you let yourself be hurt again?
How many times do you have to do this to yourself?
You can't change the past, you never could
Enjoy this moment than hurting yourself over it
Heal yourself
Whether your walls fall or not, never expect anything from people
That way, you wouldn't be as hurt as much anymore
You're used to always being left alone, aren't you?
She grits her teeth as the voice comes back.
"I'm in love with a fairytale, even though it hurts..."
She couldn't feel anything that could make her cry, she feels like she should but she couldn't. No tears could come out anymore, as if what remained was an empty shell back to discarding her emotions and feelings.
"I don't care if I lose my mind, I'm already cursed..."
She opens her eyes to see crystal flies surrounding her, wanting to comfort her as it seems they feel what she feels. Prim chuckles and gently touches one, closing her eyes with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, lovelies..."
She mumbles before watching them fly away, she lays on the grass and watches the moon. One of her favorite activities during childhood, back when she was always bored in night and couldn't sleep. Her father would take her outside and they'd watch the moon together, he'd tell her stories and they'd wait for a shooting star to make wishes, how innocent and naive she was. Which Prim later found out the 'shooting star' is just a meteor or meteorite in Science Class.
"The Moon is beautiful, isn't it?"
She blurts out and sighs, enjoying the cold breeze of the night and peaceful view.
"It is"
She looks at the side to see Diluc, wearing a cloak and is holding his claymore before making it disappear.
Ah, just like in game, huh?
Yet I'm quite disappointed in that response...
He just stands there, watching her look at him before looking at the moon.
"The sun watches everyone yet the moon keeps our secrets, amazing, right?"
She says, clearly didn't mind him just watching her. She pats the unoccupied grass and he sits there, just looking at the beautiful night sky.
"It's dangerous out here, Your Grace"
He says, trying to persuade Prim into getting back inside. She didn't listen though.
"I can't always be trapped inside forever, Diluc. It feels like I'm back to being a perfect puppet"
He didn't quite catch the last one yet he couldn't help but feel peaceful for once, maybe it was the atmosphere or Prim's doing...maybe the place and the moon did make it seem like that.
No words were spoken the rest of the night as the peaceful atmosphere lasts before the two went back inside.
Somehow, that small interaction seemed to comfort the two at the quiet dark night.
Until they hear monsters lurking around the forest, Diluc immediately summons his claymore and goes infront of Prim.
"Get inside, Your Grace. It is dangerous for you to be out here"
Prim sighs.
"I understand you're worried for my safety, Diluc dear but I must remind you that I am not called the 'Divine One' for nothing"
She says as she feels an attack happen from behind, she quickly puts a hand out and all of a sudden dark vines come out of her palm and trap the 'monster' caged in her dark vines.
These...aren't vines...
As more monsters seem to attack, Prim holds her hand out in shock and summons a lightning in panic.
Diluc hears the clap of thunder as he fights the monsters away, they are a bit far from the Winery so the Winery is safe.
"Your Grace, was that you?"
"I-I think so..."
Prim's heart started beating harshly, she couldn't breathe as her hands started to shake. She first released those 'dark vines' before summoning thunder, heck, she isn't even Raiden Ei to do that.
"Eyes on the battle, My Lady"
Kaeya says as he joins the fight.
"We can talk about your abilities that aren't said in the prophecy later, for now, let's focus on this lovely battle"
Diluc groans at Kaeya's way of smooth talking, Kaeya and Diluc lends their hand out to Prim who looks at them in fear.
"Shall we three dance, Your Grace?"
They ask in unison as Prim hesitantly holds their gloved hand.
"We shall"

If u make a chap 3 pls post it with my ask so I know what it is from the notification
Sure! Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 (here) 1,689 words
"Turtwig!"
Wartortle wastes no time and quickly kneels down to check on the fallen child. He taps Turtwig's cheek lightly, and although the kid reacts to the touch, his eyes remain closed.
"Is he okay?!" Asks Chimchar, suddenly nervous with the grass type's status.
"I don't know- kid, can you lend me the coat? Turtwig's gonna need it and I'm pretty sure the backpack's not big enough for both of you."
The prevolve untangles himself from the garment as quickly as he can, careful as to not accidentally drop any of the items he was sharing room with. Once he manages to give it to Wartortle, the older pokémon quickly uses it's hydrophobic outside to get some of the excess snow covering Turtwig out and, as soon as he's done, wraps it around the fallen child.
"Okay, so there are two items in the bag that I need you to hand over to me. An ice heal and a super potion, do you know how they look like?"
Chimchar nods and scrambles to find the requested artifacts. His mind was racing, he had never seen someone he cared about be in real danger before. He could barely feel his limbs, and at this point he doesn't know if it was because of the cold or the fear.
Finally he finds the items, quickly handing them over to Wartortle again, who took them without a word and startedapplyingthem on the fallen child. A part of him wanted to ask the older pokémon about how Turtwig was doing once again, but he didn't want to break his concentration.
"Try to close the bag from the inside. Without the coat you're gonna need all the warmth you can get."
Chimchar didn't like how this was going.
"But-"
Wartortle looks ar him in the eyes, a tired, but firm expression on his face. Underneath it all however, there was something else tying it all together.
Fear.
He was scared too, just like Chimchar.
The fire type wasn't one for following orders, always choosing anarchy whenever he could, but at that moment, with Turtwig's life on the line…
Chimchar grips the inside of the bag's zipper and closes it to best of his ability. He can hear a some muffled thank yous from the outside, but he's not sure if they're directed at him or the Snover.
Wartortle adjusts his hold on both the grass type and the backpack and, in the blink of an eye, is back to running downhill full-speed.
Xx
It had taken quite a while for them to reach the end of the mountain, especially with Wartortle having to carry both children throughout the rest of the journey. As soon as they were out of the horrid cold, the three pokémon settled in the first cave they could find.
Thankfully, there were some ice heals left. Wartortle simply took one and made quick work to find whatever sticks and stones he could find, they needed a bonfire. They might have been able to escape the mountain, but they were still on the verge of hypothermia.
Turtwig kept going in and out of consciousness, but he seemed to be warming up in a good pace and had no concerning injuries. Wartortle was still keeping a close eye on both him and Chimchar, but to the later's relief, he seemed to be much calmer.
"I was worried he was going to go into hibernation.", he had explained to the fire type, "In the wrong circumstances, it could've been pretty dangerous, but I think we were able to avoid that."
Chimchar didn't really know what hibernation was, or cared, for that matter. If it wasn't going to be a problem, then he'd rather not think about it or this sucky day ever again.
But for now, he was sitting next to Turtwig, sharing with him the stolen winter's coat as a makeshift blanket, in front of a bonfire. Wartortle had went out to find some food for them a couple of minutes ago, promising to be back as soon as possible, so aside from the cracking fire, the cave was completely silent.
Chimchar was never a big fan of silence.
He didn't really feel like sleeping. He was tired, exhausted, but he felt way too jittery, as if he was still stuck a state of fight or flight. And it wasn't like the fire type could just walk out and do something useful, he had to keep an eye on his fallen friend.
Friend…
Are him and Turtwig friends? He had never really stopped to think about it.
Sure, Chimchar would prefer if the green turtle stayed unharmed, and they had spent the majority of their short lives together, but he doesn't remember either of them ever confirming it. Quite the opposite, actually. Most of their interactions involved them fighting or insulting eachother in some way.
The fire type didn't like talking about feelings, friendship included, preferring to steer as far away from these sorts of subjects as possible. He knew, begrudgingly, that he cared about Squirtle and Turtwig-a sentiment that had shown itself alot more than he'd like that day- but he also knew that in battle, that was a vulnerability. A weakness.
If he was going to be as powerful as he desired, he couldn't have such glaring weaknesses like friendships or family-he just couldn't. That'd be stupid.
And yet.
Chimchar couldn't help but glance hopefully at Turtwig whenever he as much as stirred. Couldn't help but adjust the corners of the coat to make sure the green turtle would be as warm as possible. He wanted him to be okay.
Wartortle eventually came back with some food and a few extra potions he had managed to find scattered on the surrounding area, carrying everything in his stolen backpack. After quickly checking over the two kids, he started separating everything he had been able to find for the two prevolves to eat.
"See if you can wake Turtwig up for a little bit. Both of you need to eat something."
While Chimchar hated following pretty much everything Squirtle had to say, he was also dying to do something other than just sit in a corner and sulk. He really wanted to get the green turtle to wake up sooner rather than later, so…
The fire type gave a short nod and started to shake Turtwig awake as gently as he could, which quite frankly was not gently at all. The green prevolve groaned quietly, his voice groggy from sleep and strained from the previous cold. He, however, eventually opens his eyes.
Turtwig looks around uncertain, vision still blurry and mind confused. He blinks a couple of times and glances at the small orange monkey before him.
"Huh. You're alive." the green turtle mutters somewhat sarcastic, "really thought you had gone and gotten yourself frozen to death or something."
Chimchar's brief look of relief turns into a scowl. "Like you're any better. You're not doing all that well yourself, you know?". Turtwig, although tired, rolled his eyes at the fire type. "Only because I was dumb enough to follow you."
Wartortle couldn't help but smile a little at the exchange. At least they were acting a bit more like themselves, that was good, even if he'd prefer that it didn't involve them arguing. He approaches the kids and gives them the food he had separated.
Turtwig looks at him perplexed, not recognizing the blue turtle for a moment or two. Once he realizes who the strange pokémon he looks away in contempt. The green turtle really didn't want to see him right now. He was still too angry, too hurt.
"You can scream at me all you want later, but please, try to eat something right now, okay?" Wartortle says, posture as depressing as ever. He was too tired to try and make excuses for his previous mistakes.
Turtwig was too tired to really argue.
Both of the children ate whatever they could while Wartortle started organizing his bag. It wasn't all that tasty, mostly mushrooms and berries, but it was better than nothing.
The grass prevolve ended up dozing off, having eaten only about half of what he had been given. He wasn't feeling very hungry, and his body was simply far too exhausted to stay awake for much longer.
Chimchar, however, although tired, was still unable to sleep. He wasn't able to eat all that much either, so he ended up just observing the small cave they were in and, by extension, Squirtle, or better yet-
"What are we supposed to call you now, anyway? I mean, you're not a Squirtle anymore."
The older pokémon, not really expecting a conversation, stopped organizing the stolen backpack. He seemed to ponder on the question.
"I'm not sure I remember. It's been a while since I've thought about it, but I think I'm a Wartortle now."
Chimchar stayed quiet for a little bit, before he realized something.
"Aren't you gonna eat something too?" He asks, raising a brow at the water type.
"I've already eaten."
Liar.
Chimchar found alot of things about Wartortle annoying. He was overprotective, a know-it-all and downright depressing at times, but by far, what he found the most infuriating was how terrible the older turtle was at lying. With all of those sob stories about the war with those caterpies, you'd think he would at least be decent at it.
The child scowls, but stays silent. Choosing instead to grab the mushrooms and berries that him and Turtwig hadn't eaten and placing them in front of the older pokémon.
"If you wanna help us, then you need to make sure you don't die by being stupid first." He states, not bothering to look at Wartortle's general direction, and goes back to his spot under the coat, beside the green turtle.
"Besides, I don't like mushrooms anyway."
In the corner of his eye, he can see Wartortle sigh and, eventually, start to hesitantly eat some of the food.
Chimchar could feel himself become a little more relaxed with that. He adjusts the stolen garment and lies down, mind and body finally letting him give into his exhaustion and sleep.

This Anon is never revealing their identity MWAHAHAHA!
I was thinking, in what scenario would Justice be able to waltz with an employee? Ship's too small, need to be alert at all times outside of it, as even an eyeless dog can appear fairly early. But wait... The Company moon!
Justice is certain to make for an amazing day off, after helping sell the scrap! Oh hey, is that a discounted boom box? It may not be the music of its taste, but it can dance however it likes, taking an employee for a literal spin. The others may laugh in amusement, but when the first employee decides to rest—Justice still energetic as ever—another agrees to take their place.
Lmao, Justice thinking it accidentally broke your sona's bones, seeing their limbs bend backwards for a moment. It does realise he doesn't have any, still confused, but relieved.
Be Justice's preferred time to clean the ship's interior from all that foreign moon dust that accumulated, as the employees can wait outside safely as it's busy. It's rather cramped in that ship, so it needs all the space. Occasionally taking a break to non-verbally scold an employee for toying with an extension ladder. Especially if they risked hurting whoever Justice perceives as its favourite.
I have a headcanon that Justice always has a complete deck of traditional playing cards on it. Or, as one employee put it, those "old people UNO cards".
(I'm done with this tangent, but now I must digress into another scenario, because I love Justice that much.)
If an employee is ever seen by an enemy nutcracker, Justice has a strange way with dealing with the situation. Standing in front of the employee, Justice makes some unknown gestures towards the other, who appears to understand.
Justice insists the employee stands still, as both nutcrackers turn their backs to each other and slowly take steps forward. With their weapons at the ready, they are about to have a duel. Obviously, Justice wins because of the magic power of friendship and the experience it gained from going outside to touch grass.
(I can't shut up. I can't shut up. I can't shut up.)
One thing I find interesting about it is it having a previous master/masters. Even if the bulk of Justice's mannerisms remain the same, I imagine it would be influenced by the experiences with OG master.
Imagine the original had a food allergy, so an employee has to explain that they don't have that same allergy, so may they please have that back?
Maybe the original had a tight schedule, needing an ample amount of sleep each night, or had children they needed help putting to bed. Justice would then insist the employees be in bed at a certain time. If it wasn't for the demanding work, needing the best rest they can get, it probably would've come across as overbearing.
And maybe the original had a condition, needing a consistent medication schedule, explaining why Justice is taking one of the containers of tic-tacs and handing one out to everyone each morning and night.
THE ask is already long enough so for the sake of not making a colour of the sky post I'm gonna put everything under a spoiler::: LONG LORE POST IG
FIRST OFF, I CAN'T BELIVE SOMEONE LIKED MY OC THIS MUCH IM IN SHAMBLES ANON,,,,,,, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME AND IM LIKE ???¿¿¿¿ WHAT DO I DO, WHAT, THIS IS TOO MUCH LOVE /pos /pos /pos
I'm going to break things into ideas because I HAVE TOO MANY:
In the drawing I made of Justice and the employee "dancing" (kinda one sided because if a Nutcracker just grabbed me and started twirling me around like that I would be scared shitless at first), I thought about like a first encounter in the mansion;; I was sadly too lazy to draw a bg for the scene but, I really like your ideas about Justice tagging along with some crew!!! It's honestly something I want to explore in more detail, but I wouldn't know how to put it in words, so I'm just noting down all your ideas on a notepad for later use JHADSHSDAHJ
^^ ALSO how would Justice cope with the fact that Socket is a slime like,,, it'll just have to learn to love hygros like it or not (I didn't think of Socket being in the same crew but honestly ?? It might happen now I just need more characters to fit the three other free spaces :3) I can just imagine how wholesome and whimsical the whole time in Gordion before the next mission would be,, Justice trying to up everyone's mood making edible meals out of the company rations, cleaning/tidying up the place and looking over at its crewmates from the distance as they busy themselves planning the next trip,,, just with a glint in its eye
Also yess!!! Even if years have passed, Justice would never forget its upbringing. I imagine there are rituals that have still stuck with it, for example tea time at an exact hour every day, or certain measures it has to follow while doing its chores...
I WONDER HOW IT FITS INTO THE SHIP like do you think the crew made it an special corner,,, having to rearrange their furniture just to fit their new friend.... WOULD THE COMPANY DO SOMETHING?? I guess they don't care as long as they meet the quota now that I think about it...
Oughhghghg and the way you described the duel,, I really don't want to know what would happen if Justice fails plesase DOn't speak to me /j
I think I covered everything but also consider your headcanons granted because Justice would definetely have a deck of cards in its hat.............. I MAY BE FORGETTING SOMETHING BUT YOU CAN COME BACK AND SCOLD ME IF I DID

i don't usually make ocs, unfortunately, but i have been practicing drawing teddy bears and ball jointed limbs, which i associate with dolls, if that counts any. i have drawn some doll like eyes and figures before though! actually i like practicing with makeup for a doll look, those have always been my favorite. its silly because i used to be terrified of dolls
ill definitely tell you how it goes! ill probably rush to your inbox to even tell you i touched the instrument. cello is my absolute favorite, undeniably. i didn't think id fall in love with it so much
ill have to listen to that song!! ill write it down and keep it in mind! im currently listening to jealous by eyedress because it's the art vines i want, heh. i also tend to listen to songs over and over again. im a big fan of repetition
i like to be outside at playgrounds, as long as they're not too hot (heat sensitivity unfortunately), though i especially love grassy areas with trees, they're so soft and calming. i lie down in the grass sometimes to just breathe. and i mean fixed by... it's as if all of my problems go away for a little bit. im not depressed or anxious anymore, or the symptoms just feel more at ease because of it if that makes sense
i think its both! probably mostly the associations though. the quote is from scott pilgrim vs the world, and its "you know your hair?" "i know of it" "its all blueee..." and im in love with that quote so so bad right now
also thank you so much for being so kind to me! i only hope to show you the same in return. you make me feel safe and seen and im really thankful for that
-🎭
sorry for getting to this late, dear. that’s super cool though! how is it coming along — the drawing and the makeup, i mean. it’s also a bit ironic that you used to be afraid of dolls, no?
yes yes!! do tell me if you pick up the cello! i’ll cheer you on from the sidelines! i can even help find some tutorials if you’d like :DD
which song are we talking about again….? GJ by Babymetal? or another song? also, i’ll have to listen to the song you’re listening to. eyedress is a really cool name! …. repetition save me… repetition…. save me repetition…..
ooo playgrounds!!! that’s always fun!! and i totally get heat sensitivity!! it does get hot these days unfortunately. and yes, i understand you now. ima sorry you’ve been feeling that way. i’m always here to listen to you if you ever need someone to vent/rant to. you’re never ever alone so long as im here, dear. giving you a biiiiiig hug (if you’d like it).
i’ve never seen scott pilgrim vs the world. that’s a really neat quote!! what’s the movie about, hun?
of course i’m gonna be kind to you, honey. everyone deserves kindness and respect and a listening ear. i’m glad i can provide that for you!! i will always, always aim to be a safe place for everyone who ventures across my blog. all of yall deserve the world. i mean that wholeheartedly!!
