I've been chipping away at this for a second now, so I'm hype to finally post it. You can think of it as a hypothetical cover page for something I've been working on - but it was a fun experiment either way.
Really enjoy doing these bigger ambitious pieces, feel like I'm getting a lot better at art and enjoying it more in doing so.

Tama sweats nervously as she stands in front of the High Priestess.
She.. really didn't think this through..
Lucero giggles gently down at her. "You've come again, gentle dawn." She smiles a bit. "However, it seems like you came without anyone knowing."
Tama looks down, fiddling with the satchel around her. She swore a simple yet formal yellow dress. "I, uh.. I.. wanted to ask you something.. but.." She sweats. She didn't expect to be met with her so easily. "I.. uh.. I didn't want anyone getting worried or.. thinking the churches are doing something to me."
Lucero smiles behind the veil that was covering her face. "That's kind of you, Tama." She tilts her head. "What do you wish to ask?"
"Is.. can.." Tama looks down, trembling. "Is it normal to have a.. really, really bad feeling about someone..?"
The High Priestess blinks, taken aback. Then, she frowns. "This is an odd thing to come to me about." She frowns. "However, judging by your tone.. this isn't something you can talk with your family about, is it?"
Tama shakes her head, looking down.
"Come."
The two traverse deeper into the temple, the talks of priests and priestesses, knights and others there slowly fading away. Tama flicks an ear, trying to strain her hearing to listen.
Nothing.
The soft rush of water breaks her concentration, and Tama turns her head to see that Lucero had led her to the innermost sanctum of the temple. A waterfall poured from high up in one of the walls into a cat-made lake. Closer by the walls were stain-glass windows, with only one depecting an event. A she-cat that was clearly Bliss was kneeling down, gently holding the head of the dragon of Light.
"This is a place only I and my chosen can enter." Lucero looks back at Tama. She walks over to the edge of the lake, where a concrete wall was keeping it contained, and sat on it. "Come and sit."
Tama scurries over and clambers onto the wall, ploping down with a small huff after a moment. She then looks down.
"I'm assuming whoever you have a bad feeling about is an important person in this world." Lucero's voice was gentle, starting the hard conversation.
"He's a king." Tama murmuers.
"Hmm.. there's Bolero, Magnus, Albin, Damien, and.. Umbra." The High Priestess frowns. "However, no one has heard from Albin since the end of the Taiga Wars, Bolero is on too good of terms with Melody, Magnus in general doesn't seem like he could make a kit wary.."
She looks down at Tama. "Leaving only Damien and Umbra."
"King Umbra is dead."
Lucero pales beneath her veil. "That's.. That's impossible. An announcement would have been made."
"Letters came." Tama looks down, her paws clutching her dress. "Crows dropped them, I saw one. But.." She starts trembling. "Someone.. came from the shadows and grabbed it. They burnt it. And.. and they saw me. All the way up in my room. And.. and they just did a 'shh' moment before they vanished."
The High Priestess looks stunned. "But.. how do you know he's dead?"
"I heard it." Tama's voice trembles. "I.. I heard it was he was.. he was forced to drink something bad."
The elder looks down at the younger, who was considering more than ever. "And.. and I can't tell anyone." She sniffles. "Because King Damien killed him."
Time seems to stop. "King.. Damien killed his father..?"
"And no one will believe me if I tell them." Tama hiccups, tears starting to fall. "Because.. because he's doing something to them! Every time he meets mom, dad, grandma, and my uncles, and aunt, and.." More and more tears fall. "They like him more each time. They don't notice how he's.. he's not a Cat.."
Lucero watches, feeling.. helpless as Tama hangs her head, tears falling down to the stone floor. "And.. I.. I can think of someone else, but she's.. she's recovering right now. I.. don't wanna bother her.."
The High Priestess glances away, her ears lowering beneath the hood she wore. She'd been.. a little suspicious of King Damien, she wouldn't lie. She thought it strange that a son of Umbra appeared without warning, and yet her mind and memories insist he was always there.
She rests a paw on Tama's shoulder. ".. I see. I feel honored that you confided in me." At the young kit's nod, Lucero continues. "If you feel like you need someone to confide into again, feel free to come to me."
Tama nods once more before perking up. She dries her tears before opening her satchel and digging through it. She perks up and hands a metal cup with a rounded lid on top. Lucero tilts her head and grabs it, opening it to see..
"Ice?" She murmers, confused.
"Shaved ice!" Tama smiles. "A friend showed me a recipe for it! It's super good!" She grabs some small vials in her satchel, handing them other. Inside each was a different colored syrup. "That ones strawberry, that's lemon, cherry.."
The High Priestess looks at the vials before carefully shaking the cherry one. Tama giggles and hands her a spoon.
Lucero takes a bit and her tail nearly wags.
"You can keep it." Tama smiles. "It's just.. my way of saying thank you."
The High Priestess smiles gently. "Thank you, gentle dawn. I'll cherish this."
Once Tama leaves, Lucero stays in the inner sanctum before she flicks her hand. From chirping of light spirits, a large crystal balls form. She walks over to it, and whilst eating the shaved ice, she kicks it. "Hey, idiots. Answer the call."
"Okay, but what if I don't want to?"
"Shut up, Nox."
Eight other cats appear in sections on the crystal ball, each in similar holy attire like her. However, they all shared a distinct trait. Their pupils are slits.
"What's wrong, Lucero?" The one clad in green robes frown. "You don't ever really initiate calls."
"We need to keep an eye on King Damien." She cuts to the chase. "I was just informed by the Abnormality that King Umbra has died. And apparently, it seems as if King Damien killed her."
"That's impossible!" Nox shouts. "I or Unus would have noticed!"
"You know Lucero wouldn't lie about this." The one in dark blue robes snaps.
The one in soft blue robes speaks up. "Do you believe the Abnormality, Lucero?"
"With all my heart, Idur." Lucero nods.
"Then I do as well." The one in yellow robes smiles.
"As do we." The ones in red and grey robes nod.
"I suppose I do as well." The one in brown robes sighs softly.
"Eyre, Esen, has there been no word from Caspian or Zephyr?" Lucero frowns, munching on the shaved ice. She doesn't miss the way Nox is eyeing it. "I remember Zephyr aiding her a bit back."
"Aside from that.." Esen sighs, placing a paw to his forehead. "I've heard nothing. I've brought mention of the Abnormality a while back, but he spoke naught of her."
Eyre nods in agreement. "Caspian sometimes inquires to her health, but he has made no moves to see her himself, even whenever she's near adequate bodies of water."
Lucero groans. "Alright.. here's what we'll do. Eyre and Esen, keep an eye on Caspian and Zephyr." She points to the rest, except for Box. "Idur, Alder, Pailan, Ignatius, and Elia. Keep a very close eye on the rulers." She looks at Nox. "Nox, you and I shall contact the Ferrycat at once. We must confirm this."
Noises of agreement come from everyone before Nox huffs. "Alright, what do you have? You've been eating this whole time."
Lucero blinks. Had she been eating the whole time? She glances down at the metal cup, seeing that most of the shaved ice. She pouts a bit before huffing and glaring at Nox. "Shaved ice. The Abnormality gave it to me."
"Wh- I want some!" Nox growls.
"No."
With that, Lucero kicks the crystal ball, making it disappear in a flurry of light. She peers down at the metal cup again and this time, truly pouts.
She didn't mean to eat it that fast..
○●○
As Tama walks down the path, heading back to the castle, she gasps softly as she remembers. "I forgot to tell her about Damien's plan.." She looks back before looking down.
No, she had bothered Lucero enough. She shakes her head before continuing down the path, exhaling softly to keep her heart steady.
From above in a tree, Lumiere watches with an amused look. He lounges back against the tree trunk before standing upright and jumping from branch to branch.
Each time Tama sped up, so did he. As she slowed, so did he.
Eventually, she stops and looks directly where he is. "I know you're there, Lumiere!" She puffs up a bit. "Y-You know you can't hurt me! Because if I scream they'll hear me!"
"Smart kit." Lumiere's chuckle came from the trees before he jumps down, landing a few feet from her. "Quite honestly.. what are you?" He chuckles lowly. "Even Zephyr's blessing can't stand the Echo Chambers. And yet.. you still found your little friend.".
All of Tama's confidence drains away. "Y-you knew?"
He chuckles lowly, dangerously. "Of course I did. All those monsters in there are still loyal to me." He smiles. "They told me everything. But now, I want you to tell me something."
With each step he takes, Tama feels more and more sick to her stomach. Finally, he gets in front of her and crouches down. The kit trembles, feeling a crushing aura coming from him.
N-No wonder he's a villain.. Tama whimpers.
"How did you know about Damien's plan?" Lumiere chuckles. "He's been tight-lipped about it."
Her stomach drops. Oh. Oh no, Lumiere knew.
"Well?"
Tama takes some steps back, trembling, before an arm wraps around her waist, and she is lifted into a familiar embrace. A much warmer energy fills the air, but it was just as crushing.
She looks up, feeling both relieved and nervous to see Nimbus holding her. She looks over to Lumiere, who had backed up.
The slowly crescendo of violins and cellos begins.
"I think you should be leaving, Lumiere." Nimbus speaks, her voice low.
Light magic from both begins to spark in the air. While Nimbus's was bright and pure, divine even, while Lumiere's was a scorching bright, hurtful, and burning, hellish in all aspects.
"But we were having such a nice conversation." Lumiere chuckles lowly.
"Lumiere." Nimbus hisses.
"Fine, fine." The villain laughs, and the music that had been building slowly fades. Light magic surrounds him. "I'll see you sometime soon."
The Songbird snarls lowly as the tom-cat's mocking laughter fades into the air as he teleports away.
Tama swallows thickly. "M-Mom, I.."
"Oh, by Bliss, what were you thinking, confronting Lumiere like that?" Nimbus sighs, hugging Tama tightly. "I was so worried when I felt Lumiere's energy.."
"I'm sorry, mom.." She looks down. "I heard him, and I thought.."
Nimbus gently nuzzles her kit's head. "It's okay. All that matters is that you're okay."
Tama glances down, gently clinging to Nimbus.
She wasn't so sure she was okay, but Tama was good at pretending. She was able to fool everyone, pretending to be okay. She could pretend to be okay when the nobles looked down at her when she heard their whispers about her being nothing but a mooch.
She could handle all the things she heard, the hateful words, the cats being terrible. Calling her cursed, saying she was a changeling that claimed to have Zephyr's blessing and Aire blood.
Tama could handle it all.
Because she was just a kit. And who would believe a cursed kit?

Ahoy? 👀
May I, May I request a ∅ w Jiyoon and/or UiO w anyone you see fit??? pls and thank you very much! ヾ(^▽^*)))
I’ll go with their dormmates!! Jiyoon gets Lucero and UiO gets Saga. It feels fitting~
🎭.
A fellow creative! Jiyoon’s stories always have an almost magical effect, no?
I met her in the theater box I always sit in at NRC, oddly enough. She somehow snuck into my spot before I did! I initially thought her as suspicious, but reading her stories made me change my mind. She’s terribly rude, though.
I decided to talk about my own accomplishments and she left as soon as she came! Hmph! It’s not my fault no one wants to hear about my amazing works!
Although, That magic of hers is certainly amazing. Well, it’s more amazing than what I can do. Oh, to write the perfect stage play and have it come to life—! I’d trade my own stupid UM for something like that!
🧿.
Ughhh, I don’t care if UiO is my classmate, I hate puppets!
I-I mean, Lilia tells me I hate everything, but that’s not the point! Dolls… I can’t hear their heartbeats at all. I can’t tell if they’re lying for afraid or if they know something. Not to mention, I’ve never seen UiO change expressions. Even when I tell her to go away she just keeps prodding at me… What if she’s a tool sent by the police?! What if she’s the key to me being sent to jail?!!!!
Ueeeee, I can’t get rid of her, can I?? Do dolls die if broken??? Do I need to find an exorcism book?! Ugh, all this preplanning is gonna make me pass out—

✏️ for izan&mani? :D
MEME ┊accepting.
Tumblr media
IZAN X MANICA HEADCANONS
As much as Manica gets under his skin, Izan obviously does worry about her, and his own worry is enough to tolerate her annoyances. He'll complain endlessly and threaten things, but soon enough the threats become inside knowledge of "I know you won't actually hurt me despite everything you say" and "glad to know you care so much".
As he genuinely begins to like her and her company, I can see him dropping hints to his actual condition—like how he's dead and only sharing his brother's body because he no longer has a physical vessel or how he's actually cursed to eventually lose his mind completely as a result of some petty witch he still hates.
In all honesty, he appreciates her non-apologetic demeanor about being less than morally right—it's comforting to know that they're similar in that regard. Izan likes that he can be genuine with her and not actually have to play nice to avoid backlash and judgement. Plus, she lets him be pervy—what's better than a girl like that?
Anyway, I really think these two are the type to engage physically before actual romantic emotions sprout—like sex first, love later. Except Izan won't actually go that far because he isn't using his own body (and he wouldn't want his brother to feel violated when he regains control). That doesn't stop him from doing things one-sidedly though, if you get what I mean.
He would eventually develop a habit of nibbling/biting her skin somewhere visible every time they met up. He doesn't say it, but it's a way to make sure his brother gets the memo about Izan's antics when he isn't using their shared vessel.
Izan has days where he will act pretty sedated thanks to the choker he wears acting to suppress his curse symptoms. On these days, he tends to be more wholesome and less easy to rile up. While he still may have his perverted moments, he is significantly much more... in line (for lack of better words).
He eventually becomes very interested in touching her hair and threading his fingers through it or twirling it.
Angst but if he does lose himself and Manica is on a job to hunt supposed sightings of a cadejo causing indiscriminate violence... her instantly recognizing Izan's essence despite the crazed look in his eyes...
Also, it'd be pretty interesting of a plot point if Izan's original killer years ago was Manica (considering she might have potentially been working as a hunter back then too); then tying that idea to the above bullet point... :)

The Kingdom of Wishes- A “Wish” Rewrite
Chapter 7- Inspire Them
Chapter 6
“You’re… a star?!”
“You guessed it!” Aster exclaimed cheerfully, flying down to the ground while doing backflips in the air, until he lands in front of her with a bright smile on his face, he bows down like a prince formally introducing himself to a princess.
“Good Asha Lucero, you have given so much happiness to others, you deserve to have your wish come true.” The star speaks more eloquently now, and it feels like these lines where rehearsed, that's because they were, for he's actually just repeating what all wishing stars say to their wish makers when they come down to earth, like it’s protocol.
That line is a reference to what the Blue Fairy says to Geppetto.
“So it shall be my honor tooOO-OH MY GALAXY IS THAT A RABBIT?!?” He sees a rabbit coming out of the bushes and gets distracted… Again…
As you can see, Aster’s not very good at following wishing star’s protocol.
Tumblr media
Asha watches as the teenage star flies by like lightning towards the little critter, she's blown away trying to process that this is actually happening and not just a dream, wanting to ask a million questions while at the same time she's completely speechless. So all she can say in a stutter is “Umm y-yeah it sure is hehe” To answer his question. She can't help but chuckle seeing how the star is so amazed over something so simple like a rabbit.
Aster holds the rabbit’s ears up, the animal seems confused but not really minding it “Awww they're way cuter seen up close… And I was right! I told them rabbits had big ears!” The star claims victorious.
Asha tilts her head to the side “Huh? Told who?”
“A few neighbors of mine that make up the lepus constellation, see?” Aster points up to the sky, to a constellation that looks like a rabbit with very tiny ears “I told them rabbits had cute BIG ears, but they insisted their formation was good enough, it’s like they don’t even care for accuracy, really” They say while looking up with a smug, shaking his head slowly, it's like he's thinking "I told you so".
Tumblr media
Asha gazes upon the night sky, her eyes sparkling just like the stars “… Y-yeah I guess the ears are pretty tiny hehe” she suddenly realizes what Aster just said implies... Aster is not the only one. She quickly turns to them perplexed “Wait wait slow down, are you telling me ALL the stars... ARE ALIVE??” She's breathless, looking back up at all the stars like a deer mesmerized by headlights.
Aster can't help but chuckle, she's so amazed over something that, to him, is so simple “Heh heh not aaaaall of them, but most of them, yeah." Aster explains casually while letting go of the little critter. The star turns their attention back to Asha, gazing at her with a friendly smile while floating close to her, observing her with curiosity.
Asha on the other hand is still gazing up to the night sky as she says, her voice filled with astonishment "My father used to write that we had a connection with the stars but... I could never imagine they’re actually people!" She turns back to look at Aster, her voice barely above a whisper "… Much less that they come down when they’re wished upon"
"Oooh we don’t usually come down to help at all, I’m just here because you’re a special case, Asha" Aster says, floating around her like a fish swimming in circles. 
“I am?"
He stops flying around, now just floating right in front of her to explain why he's there in the first place “See, when it comes to wishing upon a star, like myself, NO request is too extreme..." He stops for a moment as if to think how's the best way to continue his point "Although... your request to save your kingdom from the clutches of two evil rulers is… Well … A lil bit extreme, just a bit, not gonna lie… heh heh" They say sounding more high pitched and awkward than before.
"Yeah... I know" The girl looks down slightly
Aster lifts her head gently to look at him, giving her an optimistic smile "That is, too extreme for you to do it all by yourself, that’s where I come in!”
Asha’s enthusiasm slowly returns "So... You'll grant my wish? just like that?" She snaps her fingers to indicate how easy and quick it'd be.
Aster hates to bring somewhat bad news, but he tries to explain it the best they can “Eeeh no, hehe not exactly, I can’t just fix everything in the blink of an eye, that’s more of a genies thing, ya know?” They clarify while creating a genie's lamp with their star dust, manifesting it above his hand to illustrate his point.
“Huh, I see” Asha is surprisingly not disappointed by that at all, she honestly didn't think it could be that simple, besides, just having any help at all is more than enough "So what can you do?"
“Oh I can do a lot! Watch, hey Valentino!" Aster flies down, now face to face with the little baby goat "What do YOU wish for lil buddy?"
Asha looks puzzled "I thought you couldn't grant wishes"
Aster giggles as he looks up to her, the star is floating barely above the ground but he's posing like he's laying down, with their hands behind the back of his head "Hehehe It's easier to explain if I show you, but let's just say I can grant simple wishes, however, the stronger it's the want in the wish maker's heart then the more I can do!" 
"Maaa! Maa!" Valentino bleats out happily to Aster
Aster eyes sparkle with excitement upon hearing the goat's "words" "OO-HOHOO now THAT'S a strong wish! You got it buddy, here ya go!" He sprinkle some star dust on Valentino, to which the goat gladly eats all of it. Asha watches curiously, waiting to see what could her goat possibly have wished for...
And Valentino talks
"Did it work- *gasp* It did! I'm tawkin I am tawkin!" The little goat giggles, adorably hopping around the two of them, Valentino's voice is cute and high pitched, he sounds like a toddler.
Asha lets out an "awwwwn" with a huge smile and her eyes wide. She sits down to hug Valentino, not able to contain herself with such an adorable display.
"You sure can bud! Now go on, make your wish come true!" The star cheers while floating above the two of them
Asha looks up to Aster confused "Huh? But you just granted his wish"
"Nuh-uh I just wanted to say one thing, I wanted to THANK YOU!" The baby goat exclaims, nuzzling closer to Asha in their embrace "Thank you for always taking care of me! You're the best fwiend I could ask for!" He finishes, licking her nose.
The girl stares at her baby goat, completely overwhelmed by the cuteness.
"Soooo yeah, I can make animals talk! Pretty neat huh? But that's just the tip of the ice be-" Aster notices Asha was quiet, too quiet "Uuuuh you're ok?"
"*sob* yeah I-Im fine *sniff*" She hugs Valentino while petting him, sobbing at the sweetness in his voice. She really needed to hear that after the day she had.
Aster doesn't understand what sad tears are though, so they assume he just made a huge mistake "oh OH NONONO- IM SO SORRY I-I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE IF HE TALKED D-DON'T WORRY ITS NOT PERMANENT! HE JUST WANTED TO SAY "THANKS" P-PLEASE DON'T BE SAD" The star is panicking, flying around and flailing his arms uncontrollably.
Asha dries a little tear from the corner of her eye and smiles at Aster "Hheheh calm down, I'm not sad, really, I just got emotional that's all"
Aster looks relieved at that, he calms down as he flies down to sit next to her
"Maaa! Maa!" Valentino is back to not talking.
"Oh so it really wasn't permanent" Asha says, as Valentino leaves her arms to hop around and eat some grass.
"Like I said, all he wished for was to say thanks, now that he did so, he has no need to speak anymore" Aster explained calmly
Asha had a thoughtful look for a moment, her eyes light up as she pieces it together in her head "... Hmm I think I get it, so you just gave him what he needed to fulfill his wish himself" Aster nodded his head quickly, excited that she got it right, Asha continued "So... What about my wish though, how will you help me grant it?" She asks to the wishing star sitting next to her.
Aster’s already big smile widens even more with the question, as they fly upward and lifts her up with one hand "I’ll be your guide! Give you all the tools you’ll need to succeed! But of course, the only one who can make your wish come true is YOU!” He boops her nose, making some star dust fly around her face
Asha feels a sense of joy come to her when the star boops her nose... But even then, the thought that everyone is depending on her makes her feel all her fears and insecurities come flowing back.
“Me? But they’re the king and queen of that whole kingdom and I… Well, I don’t even know WHO I am in all this” She admits, looking away from the star for a moment, her gaze is distant.
Aster can sense her sadness returning, and the spark of her light glowing dimmer as hopelessness fills her thoughts. His eyes turn to the side for a moment, pondering how he can rekindle her spark and make her see what he sees... Eventually, his eyes lit up with an idea, literally making his hair shine brighter like a lamp bulb turning on.
"Weeeeell I can't tell you who you are neither, that's something only you can figure out." Aster begins with a playful smile, flying to be face to face with her.
Asha notes how those words are a direct contrast to how the royal pair kept saying she needed their help to find out who she is. The star word's caught her attention.
"BUT if ya ask me, I think I might have an idea of who you are in "All this". So allow me to elaborate in the best way I know how… EVERYBODY HELP ME OUT!"
Aster exclaimed, calling upon all the living things of the forest. He uses his magic to bring all the trees and flowers to life, as well as making all the animals able to sing and dance.
And so, we get my version of "I'm A Star."
This song is quite literally the opposite of what “Wish Away” was, if "Wish Away" made Asha feel small, like she couldn’t do anything on her own and NEEDED the king’s magic, “I’m A Star” is doing the opposite of that, making her feel as grand as a celestial body, like she can do anything, and Aster is just there to land a hand, but only she can reach her dreams, and she CAN do it.
I’m A Star
[Verse 1]
Have you ever wondered why you look up at the sky for answers? Or blow dandelions in the wind? Asking them to better your chances Why throw a dime down a well? While you know that's no spell
(Aster begins to sing, extending his hand up to the sky to present all the beautiful stars above. Asha looks up to them, but before she knows it Aster grabs her attention again by pulling from behind her ear a dandelion made of star dust he just created, he shows it to her while singing the second line, Asha instinctively blows it like she indeed always did as a kid. Aster then flies away from her and to a wishing well in the woods, he makes a coin with his star dust and throws it while not even looking at the well, his gaze is still focused on Asha as she watches him sing attentively)
Things passed down generationally, to you Yes, I hear And to some unbelievers those are shoddy fallacies But have you ever wondered why you look up at the sky for answers?
(Aster makes the trees come to life, happy faces appear on them as they dance along with he music, Asha watches them in amazement, she starts getting into the mood of the song, with a giddy smile on her face. She answers "Yes, I hear" to Aster's comments, because she indeed grew up with these traditions of wishing upon dandelions, wishing wells and stars, but not thinking those will magically solve all her problems, it's just a first step to set her goals. As he sings the final line, Aster flies to above the trees, reaching to the stars with a determined and confident smile, Asha looks up to him with her eyes shining... Suddenly Aster flies back down doing backflips in the form of a ball of light, and hits the ground the song makes a "THUM" before the chorus kicks in)
[Chorus]
Well, you don't have to look too hard I'm here for all your question marks If you're tryna figure out just who you are Don't look far
(Aster stands up as soon as they land back on the ground, the animals of the forest now all sing to help him with the chorus. Upon singing the second line, Aster hits his foot on the ground, making a trail of light glow underneath the earth like roots (It's like Elsa hitting her foot down when making the castle during Let It Go), that make a giant flower grow under Asha, lifting her up to above the forest, the giant flower blooms during the third line. Asha is on it covering her eyes in fear for a moment, but Aster flies to be in front of her, taking the hands off her eyes as he sings the last line, making her look at him, he gives her a reassuring smile, making all her fears go away)
In the sky, and your front yard In your heart and in the scars If you really wanna know just who you are You're a star…
(Aster pulls her by the arms and they jump off the flower, Asha is once again startled, but when they're about to fall Aster makes another giant flower bloom, that catches them just in time, they hop on that flower and Aster once again pulls Asha to jump again, this time Asha fully trusts them and jumps without fear, knowing they'll make another flower for them to jump on. They do this during the two first lines, but as Aster sings "If you really wanna know just who you are" they spin around in the air holding Asha's hands, they both twirl in the air together before Aster throws Asha up to the sky, she floats with a little bit of Aster's star dust on her, and she looks in awe to the stars above her... Before she thinks of what Aster just said, now her face turns into confusion, as she immediately falls down in his arms)
[Verse 2]
What! But you just said YOU'RE a star! Uh-huh! Well, yeah, but you're up to par Cause' while I do bring that magic intervention Only you can reach your destination!
(Asha and Aster are now back in the forest, Aster just caught her in his arms, and Asha promptly questions what he means by saying "She's a star" when clearly he's the star here. Aster puts her back down as he answers that yes, he is a star, but he explains Asha is just as magic as he is, Aster makes some star dust flow from his fingers like tiny fireworks as he sings "Magic intervention". A bunch of animals show up around them and sing in harmony the last line. Asha looks at all of them in surprise. The whole forest is lit up with colorful lights thanks to Aster's magic.)
See, I'm more like that lil voice, in your head That suggests when you can't find your path ahead So even though I can't do all of the work for ya I'll make sure it's enough for you to shoulder!
(Aster suddenly is tiny, the size of a hand, dancing on Asha's shoulder. He whispers in her ear that he's the little voice in her head, and once he sings "Path ahead" he makes a golden path appear in front of her, made of star dust. The animals all happily follow that path and encourage Asha to follow along, she hesitates for a moment, but she takes a deep breath and makes a run for it, making little Aster fall from her shoulder as he sings the last line)
[Verse 3]
A wish is a dream that comes from your heart So I've dropped in just to do my part With my magic we'll make that dream go just as planned But I'm sure that by now you already understand:
My wish... depends on me? EXACTLY!
(Asha walks through the path, accompanied by the animals, they sing the first line to her melodically. There's some butterflies flying around her too and Asha gazes upon her overjoyed. Aster flies along side her, posing like he's laying down relaxing, saying how he's just there to do his part. He then uses his magic to create even more shiny yellow butterflies, seeing how Asha seems to like them. The music plays drums as Aster sings "But I'm sure that by now you already understand" and the butterflies fly around Asha in circles, one of them fly to her finger, Asha looks at it as she asks "My wish... Depends on me?", she sounds unsure but she's almost understanding. Aster yells the answer with contagious enthusiasm, making the butterfly on her finger fly away"
[Chorus]
For you don't have to look too hard It's all around and not too far If you're tryna figure out just who you are You're a star!
(Asha is suddenly picked up by a Iberian red deer, running with their herd behind them, all of them singing the chorus, she holds on to his horn with a smile as Aster flies in front of them lighting up the path ahead, the deer she's riding sings to her "You're a star")
Do you know you're a work of art? Even in the deepest dark If you really wanna know just who you are I'm a star!
(Aster sings the first two lines along with the other animals, while looking at Asha with eyes full of admiration. Asha however looks in shock ahead, pointing to him they're running to a cliff, Aster notices and as they jump off the cliff Aster makes Asha float with his star dust, holding her close to her with the full moon behind them, they look at one another in the eyes for a second...Valentino was also on one of the deers, and comedically passes by floating and singing with his baby voice, even though he has been "off screen" so far.)
[Verse 4]
Some say that's just too ordinary Like us stars just ain't necessary 'Cause I'm no legendary genie Granting wishes one, two and three!
(We cut to Asha and Aster back on the ground in the middle of a flower filled, Aster makes all the flowers glow like stars, making the woods beautifully lit up with splashes of color and light all around them. As Aster sings "'Cause I'm no genie legendary" he makes a yellow lamp just like the one from Alladin and hands it to Asha, as she holds it she hubs it, and out of it comes three Asters, completely yellows as they're made of star dust, each one shows up in the rhythm of each number in the line "One, two and three")
Well, my friend, just between you and me I'm way more fun, 'cause, you see I'm here to guide and make you believe YOU can write your origin story!
(Aster snaps his fingers making the lamp and all the three clones disappear in a poof of yellow glittery dust. He's now holding Asha by the shoulder and speaking close to her ear like he's about to tell her a secret as he sings the first line. He offers her a hand as if inviting her for a dance, Asha gladly accepts it and they both dance together around the dancing trees and animals. Aster lifts her off the ground and twirls her around as he sings the last line, Asha looks down at him with a radiant smile, she seems to really like that idea)
[Chorus]
You don't have to look too hard It's all around and not too far If you tryna figure out just who you are You're a star!
(Asha and Aster dance together, they hold hands an almost begin to do a waltz before Aster always changes to a more free style dance. The animals sing the chorus and copy them, with some rabbits dancing while holding their paws together, and some birds flying together in harmony with the music, Valentino is dancing to along with the animals. Aster boops Asha's nose as he says "You're a star")
No matter where you end or start We're both each other's counterparts If you really wanna know just who you are I'm a star! (Wooh)
(Asha is filled with delight as she dances freely, without a care in the world, she feels as if she could fly. She watches all the magic that surrounds her with pure wonderment in her eyes, she finally fully accepts what Aster and all the other creatures in the forest are trying to tell her, as she exclaims "I'm a star!" and all of them cheer.)
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, I'm a star Watch out world here you are (Hey, hey) You know who's lookin' sharp? (Who?) Me, I'm a star! (Wooh) Oh, you're a star! Watch out world here you are! (Hey, hey) You know who's lookin' sharp? (Who?) You! You're a star
[Outro]
Ha-ha-ha, wooh Yes, wooh Ah-ha-ha, ho-ho
(Aster makes a light shine on Asha like a spot light, as the animals all watch her dance by herself, feeling fully confident in who she is. The star keeps hyping her up, overjoyed that her spark is back. Aster flies around her as she dances, he sings the last lines praising her, while making the flowers and leaves fly around them like colors of the wind from Pocahontas, but on the last line both him and Asha point at each other when saying "You! You're a star" and their fingers touch each other when they point. The two of them find that amusing, and on that adrenaline high energy that can only laugh and cheer together. Asha falls on the grass, laughing with overwhelming joy and exhaustion after all of this, Aster lays next to her as he celebrates.)
Asha and Aster are laying down, laughing on the grass. Flowers are growing around Aster because he's so happy. Asha is more out of breath, since ya know, unlike Aster she actually breathes. Some animals that helped Aster as backup singers start to leave the scene
"Wooh! That was great! Thank you for the help fellas!" Aster thanks the animals for their help, still laying on the floor with Asha as he waves them goodbye.
"Any time buddy!" "That was fun!" "We should do this more often!"
The animals chit chat as they leave the pair and Valentino alone in a small clearing in the forest. The girl and the star are now both gazing up to the stars while Valentino is sitting next to them, also looking up.
"Sooo did I explain well enough?" They asks her, genuinely wanting to know since this is the first time he explains to someone how wishing stars work.
"Yeah... I'm still trying to process this is all really happening and I didn't just fall from the tree branch and hit my head... But yeah I get it.” Asha says, still out of breath after everything that happened “So you’re here to help me… I assume you're all caught up on what my problem is, right?" Since he's magic she assumes they might as well know everything.
Aster confirms her assumption "The king has been changing people's wishes for years. And he changed your wish so you would become a princess locked up in a tower by sun rise, yup yup I'm all caught up" Aster elaborates quickly, while trying to smell some of the flowers that grew around him, but disappointingly realizing he can’t smell anything.
(Aster has been keeping up with the rewrite y'all)
"I have no idea on how to stop them" Asha breathes out, her voice comes out as almost an whisper
Aster is still staring at the stars as they say "On your own it would be pretty hard" But then he turns his head to look at her "But lucky for you, your magic guide here already got it aaaaaaall figured out" They have a cheeky grin
Asha sits up in surprise "You do??”
"Yuuuup!" He begins to illustrate his plan using his star dust, creating the image of the castle "King Magnifico is gonna release the wishes from his tower any minute now" the star dust castle illustrates the wish bubbles coming out of it, then Aster creates the image of a sleeping Asha with his other hand "While you sleep, I'll keep an eye out for that cursed wish bubble the whoooole night long, then when it shows up I can just grab it before it reaches you" Aster illustrates the wish bubble approaching her, and he grabs the small orb with his own fingers.
“And just like that you... You can stop it from coming true?” Asha asks slowly, it feels almost too good to be true.
“Of course! That "wish" turned curse won't get even close to you while I'm around here” He sits up as he says confidently. He then chuckles a bit at that, realizing the irony “Heheh it’s kinda ironic ain’t it? A wishing star stopping a wish from coming truuu- wOAH“
Aster is caught off guard by Asha hugging them.
“THANK YOU! ASTER THANKYOUTHANKYOU THANK YOU!!” Asha isn't usually much of a hugger, but in this case she just can't contain how happy and relieved she feels “Aster I was just… So scared, you have no idea, that they’d take me away and- Thank you...“ She finally feels like everything will be alright
(She doesn't know she's in a story written by an angst loving writer, so everything will NOT be alright my friends)
Aster is... Well this IS their first hug, ever, it feels very foreign to him... It feels… New.
The star can't quite describe what it is, it's like happiness but somehow... Stronger... If someone was to describe this feeling to him, he'd think it couldn't be true.
They return the hug of course, holding her tight as his eyes close shut “Heh don’t mention it, I’m your wishing star, of course I’ll protect you.”
(hmmm would you say you’d protect her… At all cost????)
Aster wanted to stay like this for as long as they could but... Suddenly some quiet orchestral instruments start playing in the background, they sound messy and without harmony. Aster's eyes are shot open and they quickly lets go of the hug "A-and everyone else in Rosas too, since ya know, that was uh- your wish heheh" he stumbles over his words nervously.
Asha doesn't notice the awkwardness in his voice, she just gets up, feeling her confidence returning, reassured that she does have a chance of winning with Aster by her side.
"… Yeah- YEAH! We can do it, I can make them see the truth, now that I have your help!" She speaks passionately, ready to take on anything the world throws at them "What can we do to save everyone else?"
Aster flies off the ground, looking just as excited as her "I'm glad you asked! Here's my plan" Once again, Aster uses his star dust to illustrate his plan quickly: "First! We get in the castle. Then we free all the wishes. Everyone gets their wishes back. They all learn that they should make their wishes come true through their own efforts. BOOM. They get "Something more for them than thisss"!" he sing songs the last phrase at the rhythm of "This Wish"
Aster eagerly waits for her reaction to his… “plan”. Asha is smiling but... She knows that's a terrible plan, however, she doesn't want to be rude.
"Umm... Its a good idea but... I think we can workshop that a little bit." She says as kindly as she can to not hurt the star's feelings.
"Yeah yeah of course! this is OUR plan after all" Aster is floating like he's laying down on his cape, like it's a hamrock in mid air. The star is over confident that this is indeed the perfect plan.
Asha takes a deep breath before explaining "Well... If we simply free the wishes, I don't think the people of Rosas will want them back, you know? They want their wishes GRANTED by the king himself, it would take a lot of convincing to make everyone want to grant their own wishes. Not to mention most of them were changed by Magnifico so now they're curses."
As she speaks Aster start floating down and down and down with every word, realizing the situation is a bit more complex than he expected, he's sitting on the grass now with his legs crossed.
"... Huh... I didn't think about it that way" He admits, sounding a mix of embarrassed and disappointed in himself "This... Guiding thing... Might be a bit harder than I thought" their voice is quiet as his hair that moves like a flame (I don't think I've emphasized this enough, his hair is a reference to Hades hair, ITS ALWAYS MOVING) starts to shine less brightly.
Asha notices the star insecurities, so now it's her turn to cheer him up, she sits next to Aster and holds their hand. Aster's eyes light up when he feels her hand on his, he listens attentively to what she has to say
"Hey don't worry, it won't be easy, but thats okay, we just need some time to plan this out, together. You said it yourself, right? You can't do all the work for me, and I don't want you to. Just having you here to help already changes everything... I'm really glad you're here, Aster" She gives him a warm smile, her eyes locked on his.
His hair lights up again, even brighter than before, and more flowers bloom around them. "... Yeah, I'm glad I did come down here." The star says, a smile growing in the corner of his lips, his eyes sparkling. Aster doesn't have a heartbeat but if he did it would probably be beating like a storm in their chest.
Asha is quite literally oblivious to the effect she just had on him. She simply gets up again and changes the subject. "We can think on a plan tomorrow, now I gotta go home and-" She stops, realizing that if she goes home she's gonna have to explain everything to Dahlia "Oh my-how am I gonna explain YOU to Dahlia and her parents, or explain why I ran away like that... " She places a hand on her forehead, now walking side to side worriedly.
Aster starts floating again, with a knowing smile on his lips "Mayyyybe you can sleep in a different house tonight" They state with a childlike mischievousness in their voice
Asha looks at them confused "Huh? What house?"
Aster turns her head with one finger, making her turn around to looks what's behind her.
"How about that one?"
Asha then sees...
Tumblr media
(Pretend this picture is at night time please)
"That's... That's my old home, where I grew up" Asha feels a warmth in her heart, it's a feeling of nostalgia and comfort, she hasn’t been in there for a long time.
Aster still has that same knowing smile, his eyelids are relaxed as he comments "Really? Huh what a coincidence..." it's not like he guided that whole musical sequence to lead them here or anything- what? What you talking about? "WELP let's get in then!" The star flies to the door like a dash of light.
"W-wait Aster, the door is locked-" Asha warns him but-
Aster uses his magic when touching the door, making it glow yellow for a moment, and just like that, It's open "Not for me, it isn't heheh"
Asha smiles, yeah, of course they can open doors too.
We have a small time skip, cutting to them inside the house. It's a cozy small cottage with, even though it looks a bit dusty from it's time abandoned it's still quite organized. It's faintly lit with candles, but Aster's hair and cape pretty much light up the whole place a lot more.
Valentino is soundly sleeping on a pillow, while Asha is sitting on the dinner table, drawing on her sketchbook... Drawing Aster of course, because what else would an artist do if they met someone who was literally 2D animated in real life?
(“But Anny shouldn’t she go to sleep?” SHE WILL GO TO SLEEP AFTER I GET MORE CUTE INTERACTIONS OUT OF THEM)
She's also eating some berries that animal critters got for her offscreen, ya know, because Aster asked them to, and she didn't have dinner. While she draws, Aster is flying all over the place, taking a closer look at EVERYTHING inside the house.
"Wow, I could never actually see how human houses looked like from the inside! It's way more spacious than I thought"
Asha can't help but laugh at that statement "Ha! Now that's funny coming from someone that lived in SPACE, which I gotta ask... How was it like? What did you do up there?" Her eyes sparkled with curiosity
"Oooh ya know, the usual, watch the birth of super novas, throw asteroids as far as you can, sometimes guess where a new solar system will form next, just a bunch of boring stuff" The way Aster says it makes it seem like those are the most mundane things ever. He says while admiring a fork in his hands.
(Ariel coded. Aster is Ariel from space y'all)
Asha hears the star describe all those things in awe, after all she also really likes astronomy.
"None of that sounds boring at all, and I still got a thousand other questions!" She says excitedly
Aster is just as excited to answer them. But then he notices Asha's sketchbook is open, that gives him an idea.
"Well then ask away! I'm an open book, or rather..."
Aster jumps INSIDE her book, shrinking down to the size of her finger, now he's black and white, and is animated with more rough sketchy animation, as a reference to animation tests, like this (2D Mirabel my beloved)
Tumblr media

"I'm IN an open book! heheheh" He giggles, there's no reason for them to do that other than he wanted to see if it was possible, and of course it is.
Asha looks at the now moving Aster sketch on her book, she's stunned for a moment, but then again that's not even the most impressive thing Aster has done today.
"O-Okay so umm, you mentioned earlier that not all stars are alive, right? Just some... So how does a star gain life?" She asks, like she's interviewing him for research.
Aster walks around the pages of her sketchbook as he explains "When we are wished upon for the first time by a mortal! I got my first wish about 18 years ago more less, and that's when I gained life" He jumps to a different page, now with some animal sketches drawn on it.
"Oh... We're the same age then" Asha mentions, somewhat surprised, but at the same time it does make more sense than Aster being a 100000+ year old, after all he acts like just a teen… When he’s not acting like a kid that is.
"Guess we are! Happy birthday by the way!" Aster says as he brings some animal drawings to life, they begin to run around him "Hehehe Though can you imagine if you WERE my first wish maker? I would've shown up here looking like a new born star, an actual baby, now that'd be awkward wouldn't it?"
(...Yeah Aster, that would be very strange... Thank goodness it never happened... Am I too salty?)
"Heh I guess so, and uh do ALL the stars look and dress like you?" She goes on to the next question.
"We always pick a different form depending on what's more fitting for our wish maker, I picked this form because… Well- You were in need of help like a princess in a fairytale, so I thought the princey looking clothes would fit the occasion" Aster's now in a different page with the drawing of a tree, he's hanging around from the branches
Asha is slightly put off by the comment, she had enough of this "princess talk" after what happened in the castle that night.
"I am NOT a princess though" She corrects him with one eyebrow raised up.
Aster drops from the tree branch "Oh I know! You're just pretty like one" He says innocently, like he's just stating something that's clear as day.
Asha blushes, getting flustered by that sudden compliment... She didn't expect a literal star to find her pretty.
(NEVERMIND HE LITERALLY SANG "DO YOU KNOW YOURE A WORK OF ART EVEN IN THE DEEPEST DARK" A FEW MINUTES AGO LIKE GURL HE IS NOT BEING SUBTLE)
"Heh heh wow-okay um... Honestly when I first saw you I assumed you were like... A sorcerer or something" She tries changing the subject, assuming they're just saying that to be nice.
" Pffft a sorcerer?! Nooo nonono if I wanted to come off as a sorcerer I would've dressed myself something more like this"
He snaps his fingers, changing his clothes to look like Mickey’s sorcerer apprentice outfit, because Disney reference babeeeeyyy.
Tumblr media
"Though the hat is a bit too big isn't it? I don't think it suits me heheh" He chuckles as the hat covers his eyes.
Asha giggles at that in amusement "Hihih I think you look great either way" 
Suddenly, a gust of wind blows through the window. The pages of the sketchbook flip rapidly because of the wind, throwing Aster off the book
“WOOOOOOAAAH!!!” He screams as he gets back to their normal size, before he knows it he's thrown inside a closet
Asha gets up instantly to check if he’s alright "ASTER?! YOU OKAY?" she asks worried
The star is just laughing without a care in the world, laying inside the closet full of old belongings of Asha and her family. "Woooo hahahah yup! Need more than a little wind to-“ Aster notices something in the closet that caught his attention “Hey, what's this?" Aster gets up from the closet, holding a mandolin.
"Oh… that's my Saba's old mandolin, I guess I forgot it here" Asha looks at the instrument with a smile that was somewhat nostalgic, but also mournful. She expected the memories of him would come flowing back by them just being in the house, but it still caught her by surprise.
"Did he play?" The star asks curious
"Actually... No. I never seen him playing it, I even asked him to teach me a couple of times but he was never interested" She sounds sorrowful as she passes her fingers through the cords.
"Huh... I see" Aster can kinda guess why that is… But they prefer to keep the information to themselves.
She's still paying close attention to the instrument in her hands, looking at it with downcast eyes "You know… I wish he did teach me, I don’t know how to play any instruments… But Saba always seemed disinterested in-“ 
Asha notices Aster started shining brighter and giggling more than usual all of the sudden… Also he’s shaking his arms around rapidly, leaving smear frames like he has multiple arms, ya know since he’s 2D. Soooo yeah, they’re stimming.
“Umm... You doing okay Aster?" Asha asks holding the mandolin close to her.
Aster floats now with his face is close to hers "You "WISH" you say?! Weeeell I can help with that!" His voice is full of glee, like the simple word “wish” coming out of Asha’s mouth filled him with energy
"Y-you can? But how? You can’t change the past" Asha is more confused than ever
"Nope! Buuut I can use my magic to give you a taste of what it would’ve been like if he DID teach you! Here, let me try something”
Aster extends his hand, asking her to hand them the mandolin, Asha isn’t sure where this is going but she trusts the star completely, so she gives it to him. Aster begins spreading his star dust on the cords of the mandolin, making them shine brightly. The cords start playing many different melodies by themselves, as if every song ever played in that instrument is being played again all at the same time. Aster then makes that shine on the cords return to him, the mandolin stops playing and now Aster has a light flickering on the tip of his finger, you can almost hear the faint sound of music coming from that light. Aster reaches out, getting that finger closer and closer to Asha's face
"Aaaaand BOOP!” Aster boops her nose with his shiny finger, making stardust sparkle around her face. She blinks a few times, not understanding what just happened. ”There! Try it now!" Aster says as he hands the Mandolin back to her. Asha looks at the mandolin, then back to Aster, who’s staring at her with a big smile, eager to see what she’ll do next.
She holds it to try playing it, not sure what since she doesn’t know any songs- wait...- But she DOES. Asha’s eyes light up when she realizes that now she can remember so many melodies in her head, like the knowledge was always there. The chords, the music notes, it all comes naturally to her as much as speaking and reading. And so, her fingers dance through the mandolin, creating a beautiful melody, a smile grows on her lips.
"Woah I- I can play it now!" The girl says cheerfully
"Yup!” The star boy flies upwards quickly, glad they could make her happy granting one simple wish… Thought he knows there’s a “but” “But it's not permanent, you'll only know how to play till tomorrow's strike of midnight" Aster explains while walking around upside down on the ceiling.
Asha looks up and asks "Why midnight?"
The star shrugs “It's always midnight" he answered simply "Anyway, it may not be the same as if your grandfather taught you but... At least you can get a feel for it before trying to learn at your own pace"
Asha chuckles a bit with that notion, most people would probably be upset if they only got to know a talent for one day, but she’s more than happy with just knowing how to play it NOW, and yeah, she can try learning how to play by herself later.
She looks at the instrument as she says:
"Thanks, Aster. Though I don't think I'll have the time to play it tomorrow, we gotta figure out how to defeat the king and queen, remember? And I doubt knowing how to play the mandolin is gonna help us heheh" she says that last part laughing a quietly to herself, how silly would that be? To defeat those villains with music.
"Yeah I guess it won't..." Aster speaks in a disappointed sigh while still pacing around the ceiling, sad that Asha won’t get to enjoy her wish tomorrow… But then… an idea pops up in the star’s head. His hair lights up like a lamp once again. The boy JUMPS and does some backflips before landing on the table with wide bright eyes and a huge smile. "What if it COULD help though???" He exclaimed, now standing on the table.
"...What?" Asha asks with one arched eyebrow
Aster starts walking circles on the table like they’re thinking on the details of their new plan "Wait wait wait let me think... Yeah YEAH I KNOW! Asha! YOU can INSPIRE THEM!" Aster says pointing a finger to Asha, smiling ear to ear.
"Inspire who? Huh?? What you talking about???" Asha is now hugging the mandolin walking backwards, not understanding what’s going on right now.
Aster tries lowering his energy as he speaks more calmly "Think about it, why did the king and queen want your wish soooo much in the first place?" He asks, now sitting on the table with his legs crossed.
"Uuh because they're evil" She states the obvious fact with a deadpan expression.
"Ok yeah that too- BUT they wanted it because they were afraid you could INSPIRE people, that's their weakness! They depend on the people believing in them, trusting them with their wishes, so if we want to win we gotta. Break. That. Trust” He says emphasizing each one of the last three words by hitting his finger on the table.
"And you think we can do that... By playing music?" Asha gives him a look that can only be described as an “… seriously?” Expression, she’s not confident in that idea, not in the slightest.
Aster on the other hand is just as confident in that idea as he’s confident that the sun will rise tomorrow. So they continue:
"It's a start, you can inspire the people of Rosas with music so that they at least THINK about wanting to pursue their own wishes, you said it yourself, that we could only return the wishes to them once they learn they shouldn't depend on king Magnifico" Aster says, now floating closer to Asha with that same bubbly smile that doesn’t seem to ever leave his face.
Asha tries to patiently explain to him why that’s not a good plan "Aster, it's a lot more complicated than that, I mean, how would we even know if I'm actually changing anyone's minds?"
Aster doesn’t miss a heartbeat and exclaims "I'd know!"
"…huh?" Asha eyes squint.
The star once again has his face reeeeally close to Asha’s, their noses almost touching, so she looks him directly in the eyes "I can SEE people's beliefs! Their wants! Their dreams! My eyes can see all that as plainly as a smile on someone's face. If, or rather, WHEN anyone feels inspired by you, I will know" The star is shining like the sun now, somehow it doesn’t hurt Asha’s eyes though, but she still not fully convinced.
"And you... Really think I can change their minds?” Her voice is full of doubt now, both in herself and in the notion that the people of Rosas can ever change that easily “I was seen as a weirdo in the kingdom for years, and after what happened today... They must see me as something worse, how can I change anything?" She looks at the star with a saddened expression.
And once again, Aster reassures her with a bright smile and some words of wisdom "You just gotta believe, believe in yourself all the way, implicitly and unquestionably-
(That’s uh… that’s a reference to an Walt Disney quote, cause like, I’m shocked that Disney’s 100th anniversary movie had none of those, and also it’s really fitting for Aster’s character… sorry for the interruption, let’s keep going)
- believe in yourself as much as I believe in you! I'll be there to help you. It won't be easy but we gotta start from somewhere, right?… And I REALLY think if anyone can inspire them it's you, Asha."
The thought never crossed Asha’s mind before but… The way Aster talks to her almost feels like they know her for a long LONG time… But maybe that’s just how wishing stars talk to their wish makers in general. Asha thinks for a moment… Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to at least try…
"... Yeah I guess... It does sound fun to play music with my saba's mandolin like I've always wanted...” She looks at the instrument, but then a worrisome thought came to her, she looks back at Aster and asks “But how are YOU gonna be there with me? We can't let people see you"
Aster smirks as he starts floating towards the entrance of the house "Oooh hohoho way ahead of you! Watch this.” He gets out, closing the door behind him. Asha sees a huge flash of light coming from the windows, she looks at the door confused until… Aster walks back in. Emphasis on WALKS, not float. For he’s no longer a 2D animated glowing boy… He’s 3D just like Asha and all the rest of the environment. Asha is startled for a moment because she almost couldn’t recognize him now that he looks like… A real person.
“Ta-da!” He says walking in while twirling around, showing off his new form. His cape no longer has star dust flowing out of it, and his blonde hair no longer moves nor shine, and the star mark on his right eye is gone.
All Asha can say is amazement is “...Wow”
The star was just interesting to look at before, since he was a moving drawing. But now… Now Asha felt a bit more when looking at him, her heart starts beating faster.
Although he does looks like a real person his movements feel… Off, like their animation is in a different frame rate compared to everything else, his movements are slightly quicker.
(In case you haven’t noticed yet Aster is a walking animation study)
"Pretty neat huh? I feel so heavy now hehe" He jumps a few times, like they’re getting used to the gravity
"Wait wait wait did you just turn yourself into a human??" Asha asks while walking towards him to take a closer look.
"Naah, I wish." He whispers the "I wish" part more to himself "This is just a disguise, all wishing stars have one, though I can't actually use my powers while in this form" The boy says while checking his new appearance on a mirror hanging on the wall "But hey, not like I'll need my powers to help you inspire people, that will be all you! I'll be there just to hype up the audience" He says excitedly
Asha feels her insecurities creeping in at the mention of an audience "... We can't bring too much attention for ourselves though, SPECIALLY from the king and queen, they'll probably think that cursed wish changed me, so they'll be looking for me"
"I can keep an eye out for them… Aaaaand" Aster runs towards the closet he fell in earlier, and grabs another item that caught his attention beside’s Sabino’s mandolin… It’s a purple bluish cloak, the same cloak from the movie that references the fairy godmother’s cloak.
“My mom’s cloak…” Asha says warmly as Aster hands the piece of clothing to her
"They won't recognize you like this, from the top of their palace you'll look like just any street performer" The star's voice is filled with trust that everything will be alright, and Asha feels that trust too as she holds the cloak close to her heart.
"Yeah... Okay, we'll do it! Tomorrow morning at the plaza" Asha announces decidedly 
“Alright!" The star jumps up, realizing he can't fly in that form so he looks slightly confused when he lands back down, he feels a bit embarrassed by that "Heheh... But hey, speaking of that cursed wish of yours... shouldn't the wishes have already been released from the tower?" Aster says looking out the window.
"... I honestly don't know what time of night the king usually releases them, I'm always already asleep when that happens... *yaaaawn* and speaking of which, I should probably go to bed now" Asha says, walking to her old room with tired eyes
"Great idea, I'll be on the roof to watch out for that cursed wish!" The star says as they turn back to his 2D appearance so they can fly to the roof
"Good night, Asha!"
"Good night Aster"
Aster flies to the roof and lays down, to protect Asha. The young star relaxes looking up to the night sky.
And then
We hear the sound of instruments.
Violins, flutes and bells all playing quietly but erratically.
We then see a new emotion that Aster hasn't displayed before form on his face...
Aster looks annoyed.
The young star rolls his eyes, speaking in a tone reminiscent of a bothered teenager
"Wow, I barely even started and you guys already think I’m doing this all wrong? A little bit of trust would be nice"
The instruments play again, as if to answer to what he just said
"Yeah I knooow it's gonna take a while to grant this wish, but hey, if it was a simple wish I wouldn't be here in the first place, now would I?"
The instruments play again, more aggressively
"I may be young but I deserve to be here just as much as anyone else... I know I'm doing things differently but... She needs me"
The instruments play again
"NO THIS IS NOT-"
He stops himself from yelling, Asha might hear, he looks up to the stars with a glare.
"*sigh* This is NOT about me wanting to stay here longer than I have to, I'm just doing things MY way, just give me a chance, I know what I'm doing..."
Silence.
All Aster hears now are the sounds of the night, like crickets and the wind
The star turns their gaze now to the castle in the distance
“… I know what I’m doing.”
Chapter 8
Final thoughts
Does he though?
And WOW that was a looooong chapter of just two characters talking to each other huh? Well I hope y’all enjoyed the cuteness because it’s aaaaaall going downhill real soon :3
So just getting one thing out of the way, about this last scene of Aster talking with the stars… I wrote that whole scene while listening to “I’m still here” from Treasure Planet to get my head in the misunderstood teen vibe, just so you guys get an idea.
It’s not like Aster was faking his upbeat personality,obviously not, they don’t fake anything, it’s more like they have layers… like an onion 🧅. With Asha and everyone else he’s the happy optimistic little ray of sunshine that believes wholeheartedly that “🎶No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, that dream that you wished will cooooome true🎶” and all that jazz.
BUT with the stars, he’s treated like a kid, when they feel like a teenager and wants to be treated as one. My point is he’s more than a happy face, he’ll have an arc and be a rounded character.
And don’t worry, the stars ain’t antagonists, they’re more of a true neutral party. Just observing… Yeah.
And if you think “that plan of inspiring people with music is not a good idea” why yes, I know, but that’s Aster plan, aka the guy who takes ✨If you believe you can do it✨ as gospel, and don’t get me wrong I agree with believing in your dreams, but Aster will come to learn what that REALLY means, and what it really means to be someone’s guide.
This plan WILL lead to something good for Asha and Aster… buuuut it’ll also lead to something real bad, so ya know, Aster gets a reality check, and Asha will get some character development… Yippee 🥳
Hope you guys enjoyed this Magnifico and Amable free chapter because they’re coming back right in the beginning of chapter 8 hahaha say bye bye to the good vibes.
As always
Thank You For Reading!

The Fifth Blade: Kampilan - Warrior Made
Down to the last three days before Gubat Banwa launches on Kickstarter! Moon-eating titans, sword-souls and bullet devils, giant flying crocodile mounts, sparks arcing off clashing blades like lightning- Gubat Banwa is an action-packed martial arts TTRPG where you play as warrior Kadungganan in a Southeast Asian-inspired fantasy world afire with wonder and violence in a thousand colors.
Tumblr media
Counting down the days to the KS launch on October 10 comes with anxiety and anticipation in equal measure, and I thought maybe posting the weapons I've drawn for the game would help cut through it all. These were meant to be posted for Swordtember, but the game needed a bit more time to pick up speed. 5/7 blades done, let's start off the final three with the KAMPILAN
Tumblr media
Yet another large weapon from south of Luzon, the kampilan is a long-bladed sword with a unique "trapezoidal" shape, sometimes sporting a small spike at the tip, often with a figural hilt. "Figural hilt" just means the hilt depicts a certain abstracted figure of something, usually a creature or a beast of some kind. The sharpened edge is on the long side of the blade. I repeat: The sharpened edge is on the long side of the blade. You would not believe how frequently people get that wrong. This useful diagram is one of the first things you see when you do a Google-search for "kampilan", so there is truly no excuse for anyone to be depicting it with the sharp side pointing the wrong way.
Tumblr media
(Diagram by Lorenz Lasco) The most common examples of kampilan figural hilts depict the Bakunawa- a giant moon-eating serpent of legend- and are decorated with hair or with roots. The angled protrusion on the hilt usually points away from the sharpened edge, and may have been used for added leverage when maneuvering the blade.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Photos from the collection of Ron Zambarrano) Other creatures commonly depicted in the hilts are crocodiles, cockatoos (what collectors call "kakatua" handles), or- in the case of this somewhat rare example- a horse.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Photo from the collection of Richard Hudson) The kampilan is surrounded by a rather popular story: That it was the blade used by Lapu-Lapu himself to slay Fernando Magallanes on the shores of Mactan. One of Pigafetta's writings recounts how Magellan was wounded on the leg by a large blade, akin to a scimitar. Whether or not this was describing a kampilan is anyone's guess, and whether it was in the hands of the hero of Mactan is foggier still. While it is difficult to verify the authenticity of this claim, the legend of Lapu-Lapu quickly grew, taking the story with it- and it kind of just stuck.
Tumblr media
(Photo from Lapu-Lapu City LGU) Most Philippine blades generally vary in size make depending on where they're from, but the distinctions are even more apparent for kampilan. The two-handed ones shown so far are often referred to as Moro kampilan. The Lumad peoples have kampilan of their own.
Tumblr media
(Photo from Iniingatang Talim At Kaluban.; Taken by Ramon H. Bathan) I'm not an expert on identifying these blades, and this is by no means an exhaustive list (as the kampilan was used widely across Visayas and Mindanao), but I will try to show and identify a few select variants. Starting with this "NICE SHOT"
Tumblr media
(Various Moro kampilan; Photo by Richard Hudson) Following up with some antique Bagobo kampilan. Notice the difference in size relative to the Moro variant. This seems to be built for one-handed use. You will also notice that the shape of the blade is different, without the spike, and with the sharp edge on the other side.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Photos from Raymundo Lucero) A more useful comparison; These next three blades come from the same collector.
Tumblr media
Bagobo kampilan
Tumblr media
T'boli kampilan or kefilan
Tumblr media
Moro kampilan (Photos from Dennis Andrew Golez) Sometimes these blades stray far from home. This next one is a T'boli kampilan inherited by a collector.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Photos from Hege-Eileen Ottem Lund) Rather than hair or roots, the Lumad seem to prefer adorning their hilts with brass bells. When you see examples of these blades in museums for up for auction, the bells tend to be absent. I purposefully included examples with bells to show them off in their full ornate glory. "Lumad" is a collective term for indigenous peoples in the south of the Philippines. Another T'boli kampilan, with a closeup on the hilt to show the brasswork.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Photos from JC Nolas) This one's a headscratcher for me- supposedly this unique find from the 1800s has a hilt made of whalebone. The blade looks to be of the Moro variant, but I could very easily be mistaken. It looks to have been adorned with bells as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Photos from Ron Zambarrano) One more thing to note is that the kampilan is not a tool-turned-weapon, nor a multipurpose blade. They are made to be used as weapons. I won't fault anyone for subscribing to the belief that Philippine native blades were mostly farming implements, which just happened to be repurposed for combat sometimes. It is true for many blades which functioned essentially as multi-tools, and the languages sometimes don't help when they use the same word for any kind of blade- be it a tool or a sword. Dispel your myths. Our ancestors were not ALL farmers-turned-fighters. They faced our colonizers as warriors.
Tumblr media
(Photo by Ramon H. Bathan) The veritable force of nature that is Sam'baha (the smug-looking badass in the art at the top of this post) stands as the face of Gubat Banwa, wielding a kampilan in one hand and a karambit in the other. Challenge her legacy! Be a part of all the tide-churning, sky-burning, world-rending action by supporting the game on Kickstarter!
The Gubat Banwa Kickstarter launches in 3 days! Check it out here:
Just three more days for this incredibly small team from the global south to get as many eyes on this project before it launches. We straight up cannot afford Proper Advertising on the scale this game deserves, so we're relying on folks like yourself to help us get the word out. Any help will do! Share it with your friends! Send it to people you think might be interested! Send it to people you know aren't interested! Dump it in that one channel in your friendgroup Discord server that no one has sent any messages to for weeks now! Reblog this even if you didn't read the post at all, we won't tell!

Dreaming Librarian Day!!!
I tried to get something new out for this event, I really did. Alas, t’was not to be. Luckily, Lucienne is one of my most written characters, and I have a host of already-published stories I can share in lieu of anything new.
Naturally, I have to start with hacia el mar, un lucero: recuérdalo (toward the sea, a star: remember it). It’s a character study, an examination of Lucienne’s past and present through the medium of physical form, and the memories that come (or don’t come) with it.
i carried this for years is one of the fics I wrote for my dearly loved rarepair Calliope/Lucienne, for which I posted the first fic ever on AO3. In it, Lucienne finally allows herself to feel the weight of her decades alone in her crumbling home, and Calliope is there to support her. Just showering so much love on Lucienne, and being so proud of her for giving herself space to acknowledge the pain she’s experienced.
nosso amor (our love) is in a similar vein, with Lucienne Feeling Feelings and being supported and comforted. This is an important topic to me! Clearly!! This one features Lucienne and Dream; I marked the fic as Gen, but the nature of their relationship is open to however you want to interpret it *blows kiss at all the Morphienne shippers out there* I really loved digging into their bond.
i’ll be your friend, i will love you so deeply is also about their bond, and it’s just pure fluff. Dream gives Lucienne a piggyback ride. That’s about it. It was SO fun to write. It was a delightful challenge having them both be so silly but still keeping them in character.
em tudo eu via nós (in everything i saw us) is another fluffy piece! This one is about Unity and Lucienne. I definitely think Unity chose to stay in the Dreaming. We see that scene in the show where Lucienne comes to Dream on the beach to tell him about Rose’s book, but what if he wasn’t the first person she told about it? Really got into my Rose and Unity feels in this one. Got to touch on Lucienne-as-a-being-of-stories as well, which is very dear to me.
…and I have several other fics about Lucienne and many more in store, but these are just some of the top hits. If you end up checking out any of these stories, THANK YOU! <3

(NSFW) SHORT — Viktor Lucero (02)
Originally Written: 01-23-23
Prompt: Viktor getting pegged,, please,, it's like water in a desert I need that to survive bro,,,, you can do hcs, bullet points, whatever you want, love your writing ❤️
As always, Viktor is compliant. Whatever you want, he says, and there's no doubt that he means every word. 
He's limp when you put him on his back, hitching his legs up around your waist. His dark, slightly greasy hair pools on the pillow you so kindly propped under his head, and the bruise-like shadows under his eyes are subtler when his eyes are closed. 
"Are you ready?" you ask, even though you know what the response will be. 
Viktor mumbles something incoherent and adoring. His eyes slit open just enough to stare at you with near-uncomfortable intensity. 
He arches his back and spreads his legs wider, a silent invitation. 
The first press of your fingers makes him whine. You're gentle. Not exactly slow, not treating him like he'll break, but careful in a way that he never quite expects. Viktor seems to expect you to hurt him no matter how many times you prove otherwise— it's hard to tell if it's his own desires speaking, or something darker lurking just out of reach. 
His body takes you easily. He wouldn't fight you even if you stabbed him, but the pliant softness inside of him is still surprising in the sort of way that makes your breath hitch. He wants this. Desperation aside, he wants you. 
By the time you're up to three fingers, Viktor is moaning openly. He doesn't try to muffle himself; just tips his head to the side and drools all over the pillow while the needy sounds flow freely. 
He has no shame. You know that much by now. When it comes to you, it wouldn't matter what you wanted to see— Viktor would hand over his most intimate secrets on a silver platter, push his most vulnerable self into your hands at the slightest sign you'd want it. 
You stroke his insides until he's whining brokenly, until he's loose enough that you know nothing will hurt. 
A hurt little cry leaves him when you remove your fingers, but you just grab the harness resting nearby and buckle it around your hips, hushing him with empty words as you fit the 'main event' into place in the center ring. Viktor stares openly, all but panting. He's hard. You can't say you're any less desperate. 
"Take me," he breathes when you finally crowd back into his space. "Come on, please. I want you so badly, want you to break me apart..."
The fake cock bumps up against his own, and Viktor hisses through his teeth. You push him back until his shoulder blades once again meet the sheets— pin him down with your weight, and hold him there while he heaves a long, unsteady breath. The lovestruck look in his eyes is suffocating. He knows better than to try to cling to you, but you can feel his adoration coiling around you like a rope looped across your throat. 
"I will. I'll keep you," you tell him, and lean in for a kiss. 
While your mouths are occupied, you reach down, line up the tip of the toy, and slowly start to push inside. Viktor moans loud and almost bites down on your lip as his body shudders and his muscles go tense. 
This is the first resistance you've met— and even now, it's only because he's eager and stupid with pleasure, aching for more instead of thinking at all. 
Viktor's ankles cross behind the small of your back when you're all the way inside. With your hips pressed to his, the whole situation feels achingly intimate. He won't stop staring at you, like he could devour you from the inside out just by holding eye contact for long enough.
"Move," he begs, never looking away. 
What can you do but comply? 
You have no idea if it hurts— and you doubt Viktor would care either way. You tried to prepare him thoroughly, but there's no knowing for sure. He wouldn't tell you. He likes it when you make him hurt; when you leave marks on his body that he can trace his fingers over for weeks, that make him think of you every time he sees himself in the mirror. 
There's no resistance when you shove back into him. Viktor's cock lurches against his belly, drooling sticky, clear pre onto the sharp lines of his hip. His legs squeeze tighter around your waist. A line of spit trails backward down his cheek. 
You kiss him again just to swallow up his little cries. The motion only pushes the toy in deeper— he yelps, spasms— pants into your mouth all ragged and desperate. 
Soon enough, he's back to muttering. When you pull away to breathe, still fucking him slow and deep, an incomprehensible trail of loving praise spills out of him in one non-stop breath. It would be sweet, if not for the wild look in his eyes. 
"I love you," he keens, the clearest his words get, like this. 
Unnerved by the fervency of his gaze, you pick up the pace. Viktor is more tolerable when he's fucked to the point of madness. Whether it's in your hand or on your tongue, you find him much easier to deal with when you don't have to face his all-consuming love too directly. He cries out oh-so-sweetly when you bend him backward and find a better angle— and it's simpler, this way. You can take what you want from him, whatever want may be. 
With the force of your thrusts rocking him back and forth on the sheets, Viktor falls apart. His eyes roll, then flutter closed, stiff cock bouncing untouched between his spread legs. 
"I don't need to do anything else, do I?" you ask. "You'll come for me just like this. You'll do that for me, won't you, Viktor?"
The praise is all it takes. 
Viktor's body locks up, shaking hard. He comes in pulses all over his stomach and yours above it, yowling like you're killing him all the while. 
When it's over, he goes limp. Eyes slitting open, he finally reaches for you— his cold, bony hand cups your cheek. He smiles, still trembling. "Are you done with me...? You can keep going. I don't mind. Tear me apart, if it makes you happy," he breathes.
"I love you."

You.. are different.
Tama's ears pin back as she looks up at the dragon. Bright yellow eyes stare down at her, and golden scales glimmer in the sun.
"Lucero..?" She mutters softly. "Why.. am I in Dragon's Valley?"
Lucero, the dragon, looks at Tama as her eyes soften. This world doesn't know what to do with you. You're an unknown variable, even to the Muses. You once existed, you stopped, and now have returned. Different.
Tama looks up at the Herald of Bliss, her heart practically stopping. The fields of lilac around them swayed in gentle winds.
"Is this.. actually Dragon's Valley?" Tama croaks out.
Smart little thing. Lucero tilts her head. You are not. You are in the magic realm of Dragon's Valley. Where the Nine Heralds exist. After you fell asleep, the world brought you to me.
The kit takes a deep breath. A chance for information. "What.. what do you know?"
I am well aware that this world is a game. The dragon of Light closes her eyes. The day those strange.. things fell, us Heralds and Muses became well aware of it. And we know that.. you are from a world similar to this, but not exact. It's why you have very little problems existing her, but tend to have bouts of sickness.
Tama brings her knees to her chest. The Herald maneuvers, curling her enormous body around the young kit, and resting her head by her.
"Will I ever see my big sis again?" She asks, closing her eyes. "I.. I want her to meet mom and dad.. because.. we never had a mom and dad.." She sniffles. "It.. it was just us.. and the village and.." Her voice starts to crack. "And I want Blotch to be loved too because she was always stressed, but she never told me.. and.. and I wanted to get a good job to help her, and now I never can and.."
Lucero gently nuzzles the kit's cheek. I am not allowed to say, but I do believe there is a chance you will see your sister again.
Tama nods as the tears dry. Then, a small smile tugs on her lips. "You know how mom is the Avatar? Do you think I'll take over her role?"
Lucero gives a gentle snort. If your little fishing incident was anything to go by, then yes.
"I thought it was a bass!!"
Kit, it had sharp teeth! Bass don't have that sharp of teeth!
○●○
In a temple, whispers ring out.
"The High Priestess is in an usually good mood today.."
"She didn't snip at anyone.."
"I hear she just brushed off some apprentices who were late! Just said they should be more timely.."
Inside the office of the temple, a cat dressed in beautiful white robes with golden embroidery sits at her desk, writing with a quill. A knock rings out.
"Hm?"
"Uh, My Lady! Songbird Nimbus's kit is here.. she.. requested to see you..!"
A smile forms behind the veil.
"Of course. I'll be there soon."
Preists and priestesses, some knights too, watch with surprise and shock as the High Priestess walks through the halls, a soft tune humming from her.
Soon, she arrives in the chaple, where Tama sat on one of the pews. Beside her was a knight, and from the crest on their armor, it was no doubt one chosen by both Queen Melody and Commander Valiant.
She walks over and gets down on one knee, gently taking Tama's paw. "I greet the gentle dawn of the Luminos Kingdom. I am the High Priestess.."
Golden eyes meet Tama's surprised ones.
"Lucero."
The High Priestess stands back up, and Tama quickly hops off the pew. She courtesies, looking a bit nervous. "I, uh.. greet the.. ever present light of the church!" The knight beside her nods with a gentle smile. "I'm.. Tama..!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Tama." Lucero smiles.
"J-Just Tama is fine." The young kit shakes her head. "Uh.. High Priestess.. I.. I wanted to know about.. why.. the churches don't have much power." She looks down. "There's nothing about it in the history books that I'm learning about.."
The elder she-cat smiles. "It's a long story." She looks at the knight. "Perhaps a walk would be appropriate?"
The knight frowns before nodding. "So long as the young lady returns before sunset."
Lucero nods and begins to walk with Tama quickly walking to join her pace with the knight right behind. "Well, it all begins with the churches trying to covet the power of dragons.."

Le escribiré hasta el último día de mi vida a la mujer de mis sueños, a mi amapola bonita, a mi rosa de Dios, a mi lucero de vida… Le escribiré todo lo que soy, lo que tengo, lo que me falta y lo que espero; eso que me mueve, que me conmueve, que me enamora y me embelesa; la razón de mi prosa, el motivo de mi esencia… Le escribiré hasta que el aire de mis pulmones se disuelva con las estrellas y resurja como un sol en una galaxia sin ella, para así hacerla nacer en ese otro sistema y el universo la reconozca conmigo como: “Mi eterna doncella”.
I will write until the last day of my life to the woman of my dreams, to my beautiful poppy, to my rose of God, to my star of life... I will write to her everything I am, what I have, what I lack and what I hope for; that which moves me, enamors me and enraptures me; the reason for my prose, the motive of my essence... I will write to her until the air in my lungs dissolves with the stars and she re-emerges as a sun in a galaxy without her, so that she may be born in that other system and the universe may recognize her with me as: "My eternal maiden".

You turn on the news and on the news appears Lucero in a suit similar to Louis Leroux’s.
Ladies gentlemen and folks! Welcome to the news channel it is pm where I’m at. And we have Louis Leroux as our guest of honour!
Tumblr media
Requested by:
Tumblr media
(Yes I have a lot of other requests but I’ll do this man first-) I don’t know the most about him, but let’s go!
- pansexual.
- he survives off the caffeine in coffee. Joe gave him coffee that had no caffeine and he couldn’t stay awake for 1 minute.
- …Why can I imagine him getting a crush on Joe Warren at one point of time. (…I’m just gonna ship Joe and Louis at this rate)
- he wears heels sometimes, and he actually looks good. HE ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD-
- he has heels, loafers, boots and sneakers. Usually he wears loafers with his suits, but occasionally the high heels. He likes the height they give him.
- he tried playing guitar before. He didn’t do so well and gave up-
- really really good friends with Joe. Maybe more. We never know.
- he loves the aquarium so much- if he somehow has freetime, be goes there. He absolutely loves the fish-
- Joe got him a shark plushie once. And Louis looked so happy he literally cried tears of joy-
- if you go to his bedroom when he’s sleeping, you’ll either find him wrapped in the blanket like some kind of burrito roll, or he’s falling off the bed.
- he gets maximum 6 hours of sleep.
- he genuinely feels horrible about killing Zoe. No one’s gonna forgive him though
- he played “Never gonna give you up” at Joe’s birthday party. Rickrolled at least 6 people that day.
- he pushed someone into a lake before. It was a teacher. He just looked at his hands, looked at the teacher, and went: …Yeah I’m pushing they bish into the lake.
- when he was in school, he wasn’t the most popular nor was he a loner.
- best friends with Joe since kids.
- has sleepovers with Joe sometimes. From when they were kids to adults.
- his dad was rarely home when he was younger. And his mom was always busy with something. So he spent really little time with both his parents. He often feels really disconnected with both his parents, it’s kind of sad.
- he’s really independent- he can do pretty much anything to live by himself, and he’s capable of living with himself. Though he feels lonely sometimes.
- affection-starved. He both desperately craves affection, but also hates it. There’s times when he wants affection like hugs or something…And other times he doesn’t. He doesn’t really know how to admit this either.
- hard on the outside soft on the inside. Yeah he’s capable of living by himself and everything, he’s been living by himself for a while already, and he avoids talking to people outside is job, but he constantly wants someone to talk too and spend time with on a more personal level. Because he’s too stubborn to admit he feels lonely sometimes.
- Zoe was probably that one person he actually could talk to a lot about his feelings and thoughts- and now she’s gone.
I was not thinking- when I was writing most of this, but i still tried I swear- if I somehow think of more part 2 will be posted
