Headcanons for Toby, Jeff, Nina and slendy with a reader that lovesss animals? (and is good with them) :D like every time they return from a mission, reader has brought back a puppy or kitty? (bonus points if once she accidentally brought a wolf in the house mistaking it for a dog)
Pastas with a s/o that's good with animals!
Toby, Jeff, Nina and Slenderman
Tumblr media
A/n: I LOVE ANIMALS! ALL ARE SUPER CUTE but sadly I'm not very good with them lolol I have a cat and a dog though they're my babyss hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
Slenderman
🐾 He does not get along well with animals, at all. He scares most them away just by standing there, problems of being a eldritch horror but once one warms up to him he actually is very gentle with them.
🐾 finds it cute and fascinating how well you can interact with the lil fellas, might even find a way to you to use them in missions. Not a fan of you bringing them to the mansion though, most pastas aren't a fan and may be allergic, and he does not enjoy when animals/wildlife are being mistreated so for everyone's sake, he'll ask you not to.
🐾 If you manage to convince him to have a pet, other than smile dog that is, he would like a cat, probably a black or tuxedo one, because it would be easier to hide the fur that will be all over his clothes
🐾 He's a tidy man, animals that make much mess are not his type, he also don't like the high maintenance ones (i.e hamsters) heck he barely takes care of his proxies, leaving most of them to survive on their own only giving the best ones a somewhat stable life. A high maintenance thing that's not even useful?? Hell no
🐾 Overall, he likes animals but he does not like to take care of them nor have them in his house, he doesn't need more little, bratty, short life-span beings to take care of, he already has the proxys
Tumblr media
Toby
🐾 Adores animals as long as they're far away from him, he's scared of most of them at first but find them cute
🐾 Have a strong cat allergy poor thing can't be near one without a mask and he's sneezing
🐾 Will help you take care of them despite his fear and allergies, mostly by being on your side handing you stuff but he'll hold the animal still if you need to apply a vaccine or something
🐾 Sometimes his tics will be saying an animal name, because he's spending so much time listening to you talk about them, you find it cute
🐾 He's besties with the mansion permanent pets and will let them stay in his room if needed
Tumblr media
Nina
🐾 BIG ANIMAL FAN, especially big ones
🐾 WILL pamper all the pets you bring home, to a point where you have to hide the treats from her otherwise she'll give them nonstop
🐾 Begs Slenderman to let you make a zoo with all the pets, he refuses of course but lets her keep a parrot
🐾 She named the parrot Willy, is a blue one and he's very talkative (much like his owner) surprisingly he can roam free and don't run away/get lost.
🐾Willy will attack on command, Nina did not teach him how to do that but one day she said to another proxy "I'll make willy take your eyes out!" And the birb was near and he just attacked going for the eyes. A moment of laughter and panic later, Willy was safe and the poor victim just had his eyelids slightly clawed, nothing major but Slenderman made Nina promise that she would never command willy to attack a proxy to a degree that can compromise their performance. So now she just makes him poop on people's foods and/or in them
Tumblr media
Jeff
🐾 He only likes dogs, not much of a fan of any other species, he will tolerate birds and most of the wild life thought
🐾 He's afraid of cats, whenever you bring one to the house he'll try to act cool but the slightest movement towards him will make him flinch
🐾 Will act uninterested when you bring a dog but the moment you turn your back he WILL gush over them specially if they get along with Smiley
🐾 Fights everyone who criticizes your actions, because "at least animals are better than humans" bedsides you do all the work to care for them and keep the mansion permanent pets safe if they don't get along with the strays
🐾 will complain if you spend more time with the pets than with him, and will throw a tantrum if you tell him to wait because you have to take care of the lil ones before giving him attention

Dating Jin headcanons
Seokjin x Reader
Warnings: swearing, teeny bit suggestive
A/N: More headcanons because they're fun and I can't sleep🤷. Working on these lists is making me so soft for the members all over again, it's crazy. Anyway, hope you like them!
Masterlist
Requests are open
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
Dating Jin is like dating your best friend.
Cause, I mean, you basically are.
He is a hopeless romantic, in every sense of the phrase.
A Classic Gentleman. Opens doors for you, holds your hand on the stairs, shows up for your first date in a suit with bouquet of flowers(even though your just going to the fair or smth)
So awkward when you first start dating, his ears probably stayed red for a solid three weeks.
Does that blushy, flustered laugh thing anytime you complement him. Like yeah, he knows he's Mr.WWH, but hearing it from you just hits different, man.
He admitted before to getting so lost in daydreaming about his future s/o that he's burned food, and I think that would still happen(hopefully to a less severe degree) now that he has you.
Like, you'll be talking about something and look over at him, and he just has that distant look in his eyes. And you're like "Hello?" And he just blurts out something like "We should get a cat." "What?!"
You've heard his dad jokes, now get ready for the cheesiest, cringiest pick-up lines ever.
"I'm not a photographer, but I can picture me & you together." "Please stop." "Are you from Paris? Because Eiffel for you." "That doesn't even make sense!"
His flirt game is actually pretty good tho, he's just so nonchalant about it, that it tends to catch you off guard.
You:*walks in room* Him: "Wow." You:"What?" Him:"I just forgot how gorgeous you were."
Likes taking you on fancy dates, but usually prefers cozier, lowkey dates with you.
Like, one day he'll take you to the nicest restaurant in town, the next, he's dragging your ass to some lake to go fishing.
Cooking dates that start out pretty cute and sweet, but become increasingly unhinged as time goes on(there's a korean youtube channel TryToEat, that I swear is what he would be like)
Calls you things like 'Jagi' and 'Honey', as well as more weird, Jin-esque names like 'Bubble'(he thinks it's cute, just go with it)
Couples outfits that range from matching sweatsuits to those t-shirts that say "if found, please return to Jin" & "I'm Jin".(He claims it's for safety reasons because what if he loses you at the mall or smth?)
Y'all pick on each other constantly.
"You look like a Pokémon." "Big talk for someone built like fucking Dorito."
Like, you've seen him with Jungkook, he's a menace. But now, he's your menace. (Imma pray for you)
But he's the only one allowed to pick on you. Anyone else who tries is in for the cussing out of a lifetime.
House Husband Vibes.
Takes pride in looking after you, whether that's taking care of you when you're sick, or just making dinner on a random Wednesday. It makes him feel needed.
Speaks as if you're already married.
"Think about the kids." "What kids?!" "The cats!" "We don't have cats yet!" "Aha, yet! So we are going have some eventually!"
Has the tendency to finish every conversation by giving you a lil smooch. (Doesn't matter if he was talking to you or someone else, you're getting kisses)
Needy
Literally hangs off of you whenever he's tired or wants attention.
Long, drawn out kisses where he backs you against the wall or counter that can make you forget about anything else other than him.
Likes to lay on you rather than with you. Like, you are his favorite pillow, and he will whine if you don't let him have his pillow time, cause he's a dramatic mf.
"AGH, Y/N-AH LOVES ME NOT! HOW WILL I GO ON?!
The other members don't call him the actual maknae for no reason, he's kinda baby.
You're one of the only people who get to see his more serious sides though, however brief their appearances may be.
Argues with you over the dumbest shit, but avoids actually fighting with you like a plague.
Overall, he's very sweet though and would do anything for you. Idk, he's just so, 💞ugh, yeah Imma go now.

I love that no character is one-dimensional:
Sara is not goody two shoes protagonist with unwavering hope (I like Makoto it's not his slander I really promise I love kind guys), she has the highest chance of winning. It can't happen to ultimate cinammon roll. The balance between her caring side that wants to protect everybody and using charisma to her advantage is so tricky and yet it works (though I am a bit baffled at how she changes without Joe in AI simulations).
Joe is not only cheery cheesy best friend that dies just so you can cry about it (even if it's true as well). Joe is distrustful, he is scared and he kind of wants to escape with sacrifice card knowing what it entails. So he came up with a plan where good people being majority would live, and if not he can feel less guilt. Amazing idea! And we all know how he returns in second chapter. A sing of ungrounded guilt that doesn't correspond to reality whatsoever but can't be combated with logic alone. In best case scenario it is defeated with reminder of how real Joe behaved, showing how faulty our perception can get from trauma.
Keiji is not just sexy detective that supports Sara, oh no. This guy gets close to our heroine on purpose and I dare say kind of uses her for own gain. Then, his trauma doesn't equal all of his character nor it magically justifies killing Megumi, it simply explains his current actions. And of course I really want to believe that he is not some creep flirting with people in most suspicious way. He just needs excuse for evading akward questions. This man, deprived of sleep because of his sins, is both cunning and kind, capable of cruelty and striving to be like his idol.
Kanna and Gin are not annoying children that constantly need saving or exist to evoke sympathy. In Kanna's case sympathy is natural, but it is not the only thing going for her. Kanna is about giving a chance, letting go regrets, making thought-out sacrifice and when it fails moving on to make sure it doesn't have to happen. She develops constantly, bringing ideas to the table and trying to get all group stay united. Kanna makes conscious choice to spend time with Shin to get information, so while she can be manipulated it's not always the case and she's not all naїveness. Her arc of overcoming trauma and insecurity may seem familiar to characters from other media, but it is unique and distinctive.
Gin is autism representation without making him vilain or weird. He has some pecularities, for example, wearing animal-like clothes and repeating animal sounds, and yet nobody bats an eye, so surely he's no outcast or useless (on the contrary, he is quite useful remembering names in the bar, using scent, helping morally etc). Gin's the least morally gray of the cast, but it doesn't mean he is cardboard nice support kid either: he has his dislikes or his own thoughts (he is quite distrustful toward Kanna because he's younger and doesn't use age as justification for her actions).
Reko seems simple enough, a hot-tempered rock star, emo/punk lady many would like to date. Strict to the strong, kind to the weak. She had a lot of changing in the past and it continues here, she is becoming softer. But it's not her only trait: she's a talented singer that was interested purely in music and it's perfection. She ignored to some degree her happiness, her band, her beloved brother for the sake of art. She wasn't indifferent, but appeared as such. And now, finally having a better understanding of what's important and bright future ahead she ends up in a death game with Alice. Their plotline is prominent in second chapter and is devastatingly tragic.
Alice looks like comic relief with his exaggerated reactions and bizzare choice of words (personally I love this type of speaking it's cool). But he is actually not only a scaredy cat: he is a person without a purpose. He searched for it in a path with sister, but no happiness came, only murder of Midori. Alice hides his soft side to not be hurt, he on purpose builds a wall and appears so arrogant because when he was openly kind the close ones were indifferent (not to mention prison, I admire how Alice kept his sanity at all).
Shin is a prime example of morally gray character done right (majority here are morally gray but with him being antagonist it's far more prominent). I have seen various post about fandom interpreting him either as "totally evil manipulator", "Kokichi/Nagito kinnie", "cinnamon roll he did nothing wrong" or "what a loser". But he's not just good or bad, him having antagonist status doesn't make him Ouma copycat or Komaeda's successor, and while I get him being a loser is funny it's not the only thing to define him (though it's more of a joke than serious interpretation). Shin is very insecure and distrustful guy who "sees shadows where there aren't any" (quoting Sara) due to 0% and wants to live, using all methods... until he gets attached. He plots mainly against people he considers his enemies (to tell the truth, with 0% anybody could be classified as enemy), and I think he wouldn't abandon those close to him like Kanna, perhaps partly due to guilt of using her. In general, his actions, while obviously not the best (and he knows it perfectly well), come from fear of death and paranoia rather than pure malice or craziness.
Nao may appear as mentally weak girl you constantly have to help and can't rely on. Yes, Nao has problems with dependance on other, but she has her own aces up her sleeves. She's creative, smart, open-minded. For me her advantage lies in unexpectedness: who knew she saw through AI's lies? For her own sake and for the group Nao is capable of difficult actions like puching fake Reko. This girl is about growing more responsible, learning to trust your own judgement (she has great intuition by the way) and becoming independent.
Kai is quite too unique for stereotypes in my mind, a mysterious but awfully suspicious man. He looks so feminine but don't let that deceive you: he's assasin. Assasin that doesn't kill. Kai is the person escaping from his bloodied, horrible, traumatic past into right, calm, tranquil future with only householding chores and not killing attempts to protect... wrong people (Sara is not bad person, but her father is likely to be tied to Asunaro). So poor househusband is leaping from one abusive enviroment into another, but now being genuinely loyal and unaware of all skeletons kept in closet.
Q-Taro is certainly not only kindhearted big muscular guy (that dies in certain chapter) or stupid. Yes, he looks like parody on American, yes, all his accents make his speech a bit silly and stereotypical. No, he's not dumb. In fact, many plot twists involve him in some way (especially the banquet). Also, he could sacrifice his life for somebody, but he is equally capable of doing the opposite. Q-Taro is quite honest but not above tricks to leave this place, he cares for th group (taking into accout his team-spirited profession) but prioritises himself until later; he knows how sinful people are including him and that allows him to forgive quickly.
Finally, Mishima dies so early you don't hope to see him after 1.1. But if you think he's the shock value first victim that dissapears after, you are not quite right. Mishima, being dead, yet has influence on story as well, either through mystery of his head or AI that appear three times (maybe something is really up with him). Not to mention Ytts where his character shines and not burns. Him being almost perfect doesn't ruin anything, it motivates to become better as well because he wasn't always like this. Plus, he's no ideal, Mishima understands how world works but is passionate to a fault, not to mention his suspicious behavior. He is example of a person that matured, overcame his main faults and inspires the same in others.
Of course, everyone can interpret these characters differently and it's great, those perseptions can be true all at once. They are so interesting and captivating thanks to many layers of depth where everybody can see something unique.

You guys don't even know about the one-sided enemies to lovers catboy uji bodyswap au where you and Jihoon are both music producers at an entertainment company but Jihoon is kind of dismissive of you because he thinks you're a nepo baby (your mom is the ceo) and one day he just wakes up in the body of a black cat (he thinks it's a dream) that turns out to be your black cat and he's like huh okay weird but just spends his time in the "dream" lazing around in your apartment and letting the dream version of you take care of him because whatever right? but then he goes to work the next day and everyone is like where were you man we tried calling you like a billion times and he checks his phone and an entire day has passed that he doesn't remember (well, as a human anyways) and he's like. wtf. and the next day he wakes up as your cat again and he's like holy shit this is real and oh god he let you pet him and kiss his little cat forehead the other day he is soooooo embarrassed so he avoids you the entire day and you get kinda lonely about it but he doesn't really care because he needs to find out what the hell is going on except there's not much he can do as a cat. at some point you let him outside (I'm against outdoor cats but let's ignore that for a second) and he realizes you actually live really close to each other, so he tries to get into his own house but can't because he's a cat. he has no idea what to do when he's human either tbh he tries googling literally everything about the situation and even seeks out a witch online who turns out to be a hoax but on like the fourth or fifth day that he's a cat (at this point he's slowly letting you pet him again because okay, fine, it feels really fucking nice) there's a knock on your door, and when you open it, it's Jihoon. But, not Jihoon, because Jihoon is currently your cat. Human Jihoon immediately hugs you and you're just frozen in place like uhhhhhhhh and Jihoon who is a cat is like !!!!! Oh my god your cat has taken over his body and now it's embarrassing him to an unbelievable degree!!!! Anyways cue adventures of cat Jihoon trying so hard to not let your cat in his body completely destroy his reputation while also learning that you're a good person (and that the ceo is actually not your mom and there's family history that has her hating you which means you got your position through hard work and talent) and you being super confused as to why Jihoon's personality keeps flip-flopping from day to day because sometimes he's cold and ignores you (he's too embarrassed to face you) and sometimes he's completely mute but almost overly affectionate (your cat in his body) and you both fall in looooooooove

I think one of the worst things for me right now Ladynoir wise is that I just have no faith left in Marinette not blaming the outcome of the finale on Cat Noir to some degree. The last Ladynoir scene is setting off every alarm bell in my head, I just can't help it.
She's never gonna talk to him alone anymore from here onwards.
If Adrien will have any negative feelings about having lost his father then I can't help feeling like Marinette is gonna subconsciously put it on Cat. For not being there in the finale and for the cataclysm event in Destruction, even though it was her plan she gave him no heads-up on for no reason, but hey, it's Marinette...
I have no faith left in me to hope that she will at least warn Cat Noir that she HASN'T retrieved the Butterfly miraculous (damn, she'd probably blame that on his absence too, huh?) and not just leave him in the dark about it until Lila rises as new Butterfly which is the worst way Cat could find out about that.
And besides, the smartest thing Lila could do now is simply... wait. Postpone rising as new Butterfly until not only Ladybug will be forced to lie to the world about having retrieved the Butterfly (since she would NEVER say that openly unless she has to) which would make Chrysalis rising even worse because LB blatantly lied to the whole world
Lila should also simply wait because no way is Marinette gonna tell Cat about not having the Butterfly and that would mean that he's quite likely gonna dare to ask for a reveal and the longer Chrysalis waits the longer Ladybug has to lie to him with excuses for why they can't do it yet. At some point it would simply come across as her playing with his feelings by keeping his hopes up despite her having no intention on revealing, which, I mean, that's the case. (hello, Ephemeral. I wished you weren't so accurate to all this...)
The longer Lila waits the more Ladybug is lying to Cat and playing with his hopes whne their bond is probably already gonna take a massive bruise from the finale. And the longer it goes on the worse it'll be whne Chrysalis eventually rises and Cat, as per usual in the worst possible way, finds out about Ladybug's secrets regarding the butterfly and that she truly never had any intention on revealing. She just played for time for the Butterfly to rise.
I have no faith left in her giving any kind of hsit what actually happened to him in the finale. Adrien could have memory loss a la Marinette's backstory in Derision (which actually would explain him remembering his father so lovingly at the end), heaven knows the circumstances were horrific enough for that to happen, and even if Cat would mention it towards Ladybug that he can't remember it anymore
I just have no faith left that she wouldn't react the same way as in Wishmaker at best or just brush it aside at work cause she doesn't want to hear an excuse for why he failed her, when "her" ADRIEN is now paying the price for it and the rest of Paris taht she was alone and therefore couldn't retrieve the butterfly.
Or if Cat said that he is feeling incredibly guilty that an innocent man died because he wasn't there, what's realistically gonna be Ladybug's reaction? I don't wanna be pessimistic towards her but at this point being realistic means asking how much she would care for him saying that and not just brush it aside? She doesn't need to do it maliciously for it being fucked up.
I just...
Have no faith left for Ladynoir. Or superficially Marinette in Ladynoir.
What's realistically to be expected here?
Honestly? This. I don't think she'd blame him for anything, but considering her characterization across the last two seasons, I don't expect her to consider being honest with Chat Noir one of her priorities anymore, let alone telling him stuff at all.
Thank you for your ask!

Aldrich Addams (@/revivemyreverie)
“Look at her. I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss.”
˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Father of Juvia Addams and husband to Victoria Addams
↳ Aldrich is incredibly doting on his family, more specifically his wife - who he seems to be absolutely obsessed with to an almost unhealthy degree.
↳ His relationship with his brother - Valentine - is.... Complicated, to say the least. He didn't even care when he went missing, and soon went missing.
↳ Funnily enough, he was the one who married into the family. When he and Victoria met, he called her a heretical witch. How they fell in love - with Aldrich soon embracing his beloved's (and eventually his daughter's) love for the macabre - is beyond the comprehension of everyone around them.
↳ He regularly spoils his wife and daughter. It's going to the point where he's, as Victoria describes, “like a cat gifting its owner dead rats”
꒷︶ ̇ ̟ ෆ ‿︵‿୨❈ † ❈୧‿︵‿ ෆ ̟ ̇ ︶꒷
Victoria Addams
“Don't torture yourself, Gomez.... That's my job.”
˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Mother of Juvia Addams and wife to Aldrich Addams
↳ Considered the head of the family, most servants Soldiel would most often go to Victoria instead of her husband.
↳ Juvia absolutely adores her mother, and Aldrich is utterly shameless when it comes to showering her in affection.
↳ She is a woman who doesn't question anything regarding the behavior of both her husband and daughter. To her, it's rather normal! At the end of the day, the family would choose each other before all else.
↳ Somehow managed to get Aldrich to embrace the macabre, which is quite honestly a miracle in of itself. Though, he does have his habits of referring to people as ‘witches’. As for Juvia, like her husband, Victoria loves spoiling her rotten.
꒷︶ ̇ ̟ ෆ ‿︵‿୨❈ † ❈୧‿︵‿ ෆ ̟ ̇ ︶꒷
Juvia Addams (@/windbornearchon)
“We're going to play a game.... It's called ‘Is there a god’?”
˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Adopted daughter of Victoria and Aldrich Addams
↳ Juvia idolizes both of her parents. She can't help but admire her mother's grace and poise, and aspire to have as much devotion to someone as her father and his eccentricity. Like her parents, she doesn't seem to see anything wrong about their behavior.
↳ Despite being only 13, Juvia's actually quite smart! It's actually the reason she got into Nevermore academy so early before she could turn 16!
↳ Out of all her distant relatives, she adores her aunt Ellis the most. She doesn't know Evonie that well, and she certainly doesn't know how to feel about her uncle based on what her father said about him before his ‘death’.
↳ Though at first she was a bit insecure, given that she didn't look like her mother or her father, it didn't take long for Juvia to accept herself as she is after remembering: “You don't need to be an Addams by blood, to be an Addams at heart.”
꒷︶ ̇ ̟ ෆ ‿︵‿୨❈ † ❈୧‿︵‿ ෆ ̟ ̇ ︶꒷
Soldiel (@/abyss-wonderer)
“You rang?”
˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Butler to the Addams family
↳ Soldiel is a calm, but quiet figure in the family. He doesn't speak much, only doing so when necessary, and more or less has a seemingly permanent smile on his face. Unless it is someone he's close with, Soldiel won't begin conversation.
↳ He once stood as Juvia's moral compass when she was first adopted, and they were practically inseparable ever since. If Juvia ever needs any advice, Soldiel is there to lend an ear. In the case of the parents, he mostly answers to Victoria, but that isn't to say he disobeys any orders given to him by Aldrich.
↳ The man is quick on getting work done, so it's no wonder that he was hired as the butler for the Addams family. And he can't help but feel endeared by the amount of love the family has for one another.
↳ He finds nothing wrong with the family's odd tastes and love for the macabre. Most people would call him insane for that, but to be frank, Soldiel doesn't care.
꒷︶ ̇ ̟ ෆ ‿︵‿୨❈ † ❈୧‿︵‿ ෆ ̟ ̇ ︶꒷
Ellis Clawthorne-Addams (@/starry-night-rose)
“That's not what I wanted! That's not who I was! I was a ballerina! GRACEFUL. DELICATE.”
˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Aunt of Juvia Addams
↳ Ellis married into the family, but because of the person she married being.... Well, dead, no one really bothers talking about her husband. Not even Ellis herself.
↳ Relentlessly dotes on Juvia and frequently spends her time with her sister-in-law. As for Aldrich, she's more or less neutral with him, if not a little annoyed by him.
↳ Known as “The Black widow”, a murderer known for killing their husbands shortly after their marriage.
↳ Her aesthetics happen to contrast with the family a lot, but it isn't really something she considers a bad thing. In fact, the family doesn't really care!
꒷︶ ̇ ̟ ෆ ‿︵‿୨❈ † ❈୧‿︵‿ ෆ ̟ ̇ ︶꒷
Valentine Addams
“I will devote my entire waking moment to your happiness alone.”
˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Uncle of Juvia Addams, deceased...?
↳ There seems to be no information....
↳ Please skip this segment until further notice
꒷︶ ̇ ̟ ෆ ‿︵‿୨❈ † ❈୧‿︵‿ ෆ ̟ ̇ ︶꒷
Evonie Addams (@/phoenix-manga)
“Woe to the republic.”
˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Cousin of Juvia Addams
↳ Like Ellis, Evonie somewhat sticks out among the family due to her different choice of aesthetic. But also like Ellis, the family couldn't care less and love her either way.
↳ Evonie is a skilled swordswoman, and frequently challenges both her uncle and aunt into spars to test her abilities and improve.
↳ At the moment, she isn't particularly close with Juvia, but she wishes to grow a bond with her as time goes on!
↳ She doesn't really understand why no one seems to speak about Valentine. To be fair, though; she doesn't speak about him either.

Oh shit. Another curiouscat I had to move to tumblr because I broke character limit again.
Tumblr media
So I am combining these two together in the same ask because, in truth, I don't think you can talk about Luca and Alva being mischaracterized separate from each other. So much of their mischaracterization comes from a respective opposing interpretation of the other character. I'm actually going to start with Luca, because I do think this is his story for better or for worse.
Guys. Luca is an adult.
More then that, Luca is an abuse victim and an adult runaway. Like that's not a headcanon, that's plain text canon. His dad neglected his family. He got a college application and rejected it within his deductions. 1900 wasn't so long ago that people were going to college at 16. By the time we meet him in the canon of the story, He's an abuse victim still dealing with that, a newly disabled former able bodied man, and coming out of Victorian prison.
A lot of people view Luca as being very childish for how he handled the fight with Alva. And to some degree it was, Luca doesn't seem like he has very good emotional regulation in the way a lot of young adults in that age range just generally are not. Even in the modern day, the amount of early 20 something's having breakdowns on their Twitter page about the injustices of the world is immeasurable.
But he wasn't /in the wrong/. From Luca's perspective, for all the information that he has. Alva Lorenz IS a thief. Not only is he a thief, but he's a thief in such a way that it, TO LUCA'S KNOWLEDGE, profited off his fathers work at the expense of his families well being. His mom died, man. And learning that Alva had those plans recontextualizes it to be just as much Alvas fault as it is his father's.
He has every right to feel betrayed! He has ever right to indignation! Alvas entire platform, to the information Luca has available to him, is based on plagiarization and theft of his families ideas. While there's shown to be a confrontation, we know this argument went on for a significant amount of time because Lucas deductions SHOW people talking about it. Luca accused him of being a thief before the confrontation that killed Alva and disabled Luca, and at any point inbetween that process Alva Lorenz could have sat him down and explained to him that he worked with his father, and that he had as much right to their ideas as his family.
But he didn't. Because Alva Lorenz is kind of a coward! He thought it would go away on its own!
This is where we get into the Alva Lorenz side of things.
Alva, from everything we have been given, is an incredibly immature man hiding that immaturity under the guise of stem professionalism, and then religious authority. With all of the above in mind, even if their relationship WAS strictly a platonic mentor-student relationship, let alone a sudo-familial one, it would not be a healthy one. Their relationship is not a healthy one.
They are both adults. Alva Lorenz is the adult with more life experience. He is the one that should have sat Luca down and explained himself. But he did not. Alva is not mature. He is not a good man. He would NOT be a good father figure. People, when they ship him with Herman, really try to make the fact they have wives work with lavender marriage. You are being too kind to his character. He would have cheated on his wife to be with Herman. And I understand wanting a more positive approach to these relationships, I understand not wanting the female characters to suffer. But that is not the canon we are presented. And we know this, because of how he treated Ann.
If he was a father figure, he would be willing to enable Herman's neglect. He was willing to enable the cat cults abuse of power to get what he needed, and he would be willing to enable Herman's neglect for that same reason. We don't know what he got from the cat cult yet, but we know he was willing to work with them. We know from Ann's perspective that he ruined her life. We know from Alvas perspective that he doesn't even think about the fact that he ruined her life, because she is NONEXISTENT in his narrative. It is ALL about Luca, and his relationship to the Balsa's.
And that's good writing. I know people are disappointed that she doesn't pop up more with him, but that tells you exactly the kind of authority figure he is. She was no one to him, and he treats her like she's no one.
The thing about Luca Balsa is that he loves passionately. Everything he does is from a place of sincere belief in the *rightness* of it. He feels as strongly as he does about perpetual motion because he believes it can help people, and if HE discovers it, HE is helping people. He sincerely does care about the people in his life, even if he is a moron about it. I think Alva Lorenz is a selfish man. I think he loved Herman, and Loves Luca, and because he cares about them that's what his focus is. He does not care that he hurt Ann through the cat cult. As far as we can tell, he does not care that Ann exists. Alva Lorenz exists in a perpetual state of "fuck you I got mine."
The most infuriating part about all of this is that Luca already has a surrogate father figure within The narrative of IDV. He HAS someone that does want to be a healthy mentor figure to him. It's BURKE. burke has been projecting onto him since we have gotten his second year letter. This relationship with Burke is literally what people who don't like Alvaluca characterize the Alva & Luca relationship to be. But at the end of the day, their goal isn't exploring a complications student-teacher relationship. It's engaging with a set of characters in a way they personally see as being morally correct.
And don't get me wrong. I do have a few issues with the Alvaluca community's interpretation of the two that I've never been quite quiet about, and that gets a lot of AlvaLuca people really defensive sometimes. The Alvaluca relationship IS an unhealthy one. You cannot get around that. No matter how much they love and care about eachother, they are so deeply and horribly bad for eachother. But that's the meat of it. They're soulmates in the worst possible way. Theyre always going to effect eachother, intrinsically and miserably.
Above all else, I want to explore Alvaluca as this really uncomfortable relationship. I want the eternity manor au to be brimming with melodrama over the Alvaluca relationship. I want Tracy to try and talk to him directly about her concern only for him to dismiss her. I want Naib to try and bring it up while they're smoking only for Luca to LIE HIS ASS OFF about not thinking anything is wrong with their dynamic. I want Edgar to hate Alvas guts because he's fucking Luca, because he sees the situation and he projects his situation with Sarai and sees red.
Because the unfortunate reality of being an adult that exists in the working world is that your friends will get into these deeply uncomfortable, deeply unhealthy relationships. There will probably be a time where someone you personally care about date someone two decades older than them. One of your college classmates will get caught hooking up with the professor. One of your retail coworkers will get caught fucking in the break room. Some of these relationships will crash and burn, some of them will move on to marriage despite the power imbalance. These are very real things that happen all the time and to say that we are forbidden from exploring that in Media is absolutely goddamn ridiculous.

Hey so remember that Pizza Tower fic I wrote a few days ago? well I accidentally got ideas for that fic's protag/narrator and now they're in the flesh. Meet Piccolino, a pepper kid with so much going on with them. More info about them and a few spoilers for Pizza Tower underneath the cut.
any pronouns, neopronoun-inclusive
He's a young adult who's a college graduate with a couple of degrees in the culinary arts under his belt, including a master's degree. Given that she didn't really have a choice as to whether or not she wanted to get that many degrees in college- let alone skip a couple grades in school in order to even get them that early- you can probably guess she's feeling so so normal about it
His favorite food to make is anything that's got a good bit of spice or hotness to it- and his favorite of those kinds of foods are hot wings, which he can make a mean batch of. It does help that they have a very large spice tolerance, so they can sample their own product and not suffer for their art because of it.
A side hobby of hers is street art. Mostly just graffiti, as it's all he really sees himself having the time for nowadays, but sometimes he makes the effort to paint a whole street mural on the side of an abandoned building. They're pretty good at it, for only being consistently at it for almost a year and a half.
They can generate little flames if they rub their hands or fingers fast enough, and can make a trail of fire appear behind them if they run fast enough.
She ends up working at Peppino's Pizzeria after the events of Pizza Tower- something that'll be greatly touched on in an upcoming fic I plan to write- and her opinions of (most of) the main cast of Pizza Tower are as follows.
Peppino is like a father figure to him, but like hell if you're going to get Piccolino to admit that out loud. In all honesty, though, she doesn't need to say it- the Italian can tell just from the way she carries herself when she's at the pizzeria.
He tries not to talk to Pepperman much. They don't fully know why.
The Vigilante is a grandpa to them. Old man. They think it's funny in the nicest way they could think of. If the funky cheese slime has a story to tell, you can bet Piccolino's gonna be there to listen to it.
The Noise their worstie <3 incredibly bad influence and they're partially aware of that. She doesn't hang out with him much either.
Fake Peppino is just a beastie (affectionate) to him. He thinks it's funny that he could treat them the same way he would treat a stray cat in an alleyway and they're completely and totally fine with rolling with it, even when they try to act human. Even then, Piccolino does try to make Fake Pep feel more human, given she knows a good bit about not being treated like one- and knows it's terrible enough to never put anyone else through. The two of them hang out quite a bit, to the real Peppino's chagrin.
if she ever sees Pizzaface/Pizzahead again it's on sight. fight or flight reflex that always leans to fight
very important note about Piccolino as well:

Beetle Bracket, Round Two
The great Paul Lessingham, the politican, the statesman! This incredible man has many virtues, among which seems to be attracting a bevy of hatecrushes (Sydney, the Beetle) as well as more straightforward admirers (Robert, Marjorie). He's also a very good politician who built his career up from the ground apparently, and speechifies so well Marsh didn't even try to write it out. His politics appear to be in favor of the working class and women to some degree, which is decently sexy of him. In canon, everyone finds him a lot less sexy when they witness his famed control and confidence melt away in a Beetle-induced panic attack. For me, the more relevant detractor is the racism in how he speaks about his trip to Egypt that turned into a kidnapping/abuse story (though that's a little more inherent in the narrative than him specifically, in that he's not as egregious as some other characters) and his reaction to Marjorie being kidnapped. Not shaking Sydney like a rat (that's a point in his favor) but lamenting that she may be 'ruined' and other such terms.
The Cat has already survived longer than in canon! Still, simply 'not losing in the first round' doesn't have to be the end of its story either! Remember: it is a friendly black cat. Need I say more?

Physician-Patient Confidentiality
Tumblr media
Omegaverse ZhouDu: beta police captain Luo Wenzhou X omega psychiatrist Fei Du
There was a sudden light from the corner of Fei Du’s eyes, it reflected onto his glasses, blinding him momentarily as if the sun had just risen over the horizon. Of course, this was impossible since the sun had just set a few hours ago. The movement was quicker than the sound, the impact was felt first rather than heard. Glass shattered and exploded onto Fei Du as he turned away from the light on instinct. Something cracked near him as the whole car jerked into a harsh spin by the force, stopping at a ninety-degree angle from its original position, tyres screeching from the friction. The airbags deployed, punching Fei Du from all sides. His head was flung backwards, hitting the headrest and turning his sight white. An engine came alive and coughed somewhere a bit further away, its roar closing in on him yet again. After that came the deafening sound of metal bending and windows blowing out as something big slammed into his side once more. The onslaught was too much for the human ear to take in at once, instead, everything turned into a ringing sound. Just before his consciousness left him the pain arrived, slowly covering his whole body like a blanket of sharp needles.
***
Fei Du is a psychiatrist who works with people with temperamental and unpredictable behaviours. Most of his patients are alphas despite him being an omega, and this is due to the fact that he is considered less emotional than typical omegas. Everyone knows that omegas and alphas complement each other, because of this, Fei Du is often paired together with alphas who need the calmness of omegas. With Fei Du's personality, there is little risk for breach of boundaries due to emotional compatibility.
One of his more recent patients is a man named Zhou Haiying, an alpha who deals with childhood trauma from growing up in an unstable environment. Zhou Haiying has all kinds of problems, but his sessions with Fei Du seem to work wonders. With time, he becomes totally obsessed with his psychiatrist. Fei Du rejects him and suggests that they end their partnership. Zhou Haiying pleads with him and promises to keep everything professional going forward. Fei Du gives him one last chance, since Zhou Haiying has only ever shown progress while working with him.
While Fei Du continues to work with Zhou Haiying, a new lead on an on-going disappearence case emerges. The lead is connected to a famous nightclub in Yan City. Luo Wenzhou and the City Bureau team take over the investigation. Soon, the lead takes them to the doors of Zhou Haiying's little rental apartment. After learning who Zhou Haiying's psychiatrist is, Luo Wenzhou finally visits Fei Du. The last time they saw each other, Fei Du was one of the victims of a domestic abuse case, and Luo Wenzhou was the young officer carrying out the arrest of Fei Chengyu. Tao Ran had checked in on the kid a few times after that, but he himself had never really interacted with him after the case. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't surprised to see that Fei Du had become such a handsome young man.
As only betas were allowed to join the police force, Luo Wenzhou was actually lucky with his lot. He loved being a beta. What was there not to love? Betas were the most level-headed of all the subgenders. They were not affected by pheromones as much as the others, and they didn't have to deal with ruts or heats. And best of all, he got to be the sane and calm one when arrogant and hot-tempered alphas try everything to pull ranks with him during arrests. It doesn't matter that his father thinks Luo Yiguo is a better son just because the cat acts like the alpha of Luo Wenzhou's apartment. He loved being a beta, and he also loved being with other betas. Now, his physical traits gave him the looks of an alpha, and he had successfully pulled a few omegas — sometimes even alphas — into his dating life before because of this. The thing was, it simply didn't work because the omegas were never really satisfied with what they got, and Luo Wenzhou was fully prepared for that. Omegas and alphas were made to be with each other. Betas had to find partners in other betas, and he was totally okay with that. But, this Fei Du really was a pretty man. He just happened to be an omega.
Luo Wenzhou tries to focus on the case they are investigating and ignores the slight bitterness in his heart. As expected, Fei Du reveals nothing about Zhou Haiying without a court-ordered warrant. He does, however, flirt with Luo Wenzhou, seemingly not repulsed by the lack of alpha pheromones. Grabbing the opportunity of getting at least a one-night fling, Luo Wenzhou doesn't turn him down. They spend the night together, and Fei Du seems to enjoy it more than the other omegas Luo Wenzhou has been with before.
Shortly after that night, Fei Du is involved in a serious car accident. After reviewing the security cameras, it is revealed that a truck had rammed into Fei Du's car even though the wide road was completely empty. The incident becomes a police matter when the clear footage shows the truck deliberately ramming into Fei Du's car a second time after the initial hit.
--
(I am a very slow writer and I am very busy at the moment, but I might turn this idea into a multi-chaptered fic at some point, and it will be on my Ao3 if I do.)

Ik it seems really bad but. But. I'm really happy to be a feminist during this time. It's so liberating to see that I can own my own degree and study really hard to work where I want to. And have an apartment of my own. And decorate it. And cook for myself. And keep cats and dogs. And I don't need a man to do any of that or be even present in my damn life. I could go about growing a garden. Watching shows and listening to orchestras and learning how to embroider (s this a word) I could also get a second ear piercing, maybe disappoint my parents a little bit by not seeing guys. And also still be alive and fucking happy. I want to travel the entire world and learn sign language. And all the time i have ever known guys even as friends is like time lost in their baggage, and it doesn't even help me in life ever, I don't want their opinions or their evaluation. I could be there for my mother and my girlfriends and i know that i would not ever be their first priority and that's okay - I would rather listen to them rant sometimes than do it myself and see. I could maybe adopt two lil girls and write silly books for them and make them play and be fucking strong. Icould watch women's football and hire women to work for me. I could be in fantastic place and be playful and beautiful and older and just so fucking happy. I could be so much more if i just allow myself to be.

Hello ♥ I saw that matchups were open and was like why not. I would like a matchup for HSR & Genshin, please :)
What I like to do on Valentines Day: my love language (giving) is acts of service & gift giving, and I prefer to receive words of affirmation & quality time. I consider myself a switch, sexually.
Personality wise I’m straightforward and oftentimes blunt. I am not very emotional, which tends to come across as uncaring, but it merely boils down to my inexpressive & introverted nature. I like to create things manually, I love occult sciences, the macabre, psychology, working out, learning (I have two degrees, & I started grad school recently), be it trivia, languages, anything. I’m multilingual, and enjoy learning about other cultures. I’m neurodivergent, among others, so I generally need lots of space & patience. While I am not the friendliest or bubbliest person to be around, I still am always willing to listen to the woes of my loved ones and provide advice. I am a bit of an efficient procrastinator, I get everything done early to leave time for myself later on. I don't really have any phobias, but I am highly sensitive to sensory stimulation. I dislike overly sensitive people, & those who are fake/inauthentic.
Looks/basic details: I'm bisexual (no preference fiction-wise, but in real life I prefer women), she/her, in my 20s. I’m a Leo sun/Capricorn moon/Scorpio rising, tall (around 1m79) & I believe my MBTI is INTJ. I'm half Greek half Egyptian, have long light brown (or dark blonde) hair, big brown eyes, & I prefer to wear clothes that are edgy or elegant. I have 2 dogs and one elder black cat that I love with all my heart. I have a few piercings (two per lobe, industrial and septum) & two subtle tattoos.
I hope this was enough 🖤 take your time!
Tumblr media
Natasha has words of affirmation down to a T. She will never pass up a moment to tell you how much she adores you in her life. Despite being a busy doctor, she always makes time for you, and she always knows when it's best to give you space. Let her spoil you on this special day, whispering sweet nothings into your ear while sprinkling in reasons as to why you add so much goodness to her life. Natasha doesn't mind being spoiled with gifts, and she'll get you a few well thought out ones as well. Everything on this day will be as special as you are to her.
Tumblr media
Kaveh has been grateful for you stepping into his life since day one. He can never remember at times unless you tell him about it, but he'll always love that you can listen to his drunken ramblings so easily. Will always tell you how much he loves you at any time of the day, even if it seems random. He just wants you to know how much he loves you. Kaveh loves anything and everything you have ever given or will give him. Just be prepared for when it's his turn on this special day. Being an architect comes in handy with gift making, so be prepared to be spoiled with lavishly designed items, and maybe even a building or two, that come straight from this man's loving heart.

Age: 14
Height: 5'0”
Hair: Very soft and well cared for, gold blonde, wavy, waist length
Eyes: Light green
Style: She mainly wears pink. Skirts and dresses, frills and small bows, puffy sleeves, glitter, flower patterns, hearts. Together with her height, it makes people think that she is younger than she is. Always wears nail polish
Occupation: Student, 10th Grade
Personality: Independent, Reliable, Mature, Determined, Protective, Charming, Vindictive, Smart, Organised, Resilient, Hard-working, Deceitful, Loyal, Loving, Self-respecting, Cruel, Calculating, Observant, Distrustful
Likes: Cats, glitter, the colour pink, sweet food, baking, raspberry and strawberry flavoured things, the night, The Sims, strawberry milkshake, sewing, her non-biological aunt and cousin, bubblegum and lollipops, cute hair clips and pins, rose-scented stationery, horror films, poisonous plants
Dislikes: French class (especially the teacher), bullies, rich people, the police, her mum's family, lies, abusers, unnecessary and unjustified violence, seeing animals in pain, people she loves crying, Bussels sprouts, her hair getting tangled and knotty, having to use unfamiliar hair care products
Skills: Sewing, making simple jewelry, picking pockets and locks, making chocolate and candy, running, climbing, sneaking, gaining people's trust
Backstory: Her mother was part of a fairly well-off family, but was kicked out and disowned once she got married to a man her parents did not approve of. Only shortly after she found out she was pregnant.
Candice's parents were hard-working people and always tried their best, yet with only her dad working a minimum-wage job because her mother had to take care of her, money was an issue. Her father soon fell back into old habits, stealing, tricking people, shoplifting, etc. Meanwhile, her mum managed to get a job at a strip club - initially only cleaning and helping at the bar, but as she got closer to the other employees, some of the dancers offered to teach her.
Even though her mum wasn't too happy about it, Candice did learn her dad's skills for acquiring other people's possessions and money. Her dad would have tried to keep her away from it as well, but it just was part of their lifestyle, and after she got into trouble for being caught stealing one too many times, he figured it'd be safest to teach her how to do it properly.
When she was around ten, however, her father was sent to prison.
Her mum started looking for another job, but with her not having a degree and being a single mother, chances weren't good. Eventually, one winter, Candice got really sick and her mum couldn't afford her medication, so her only choices were to either give up custody of Candice or... go and ask her family for help.
Against all odds and her expectations, her parents agreed to meet her, to pay for Candice's treatment, and even offered her a job: as a cleaner. She worked at her parent's house until her youngest sister had her third child, then she was sent to help her family. Candice hates seeing her mother work for "those people" because she doesn't even get the small level of respect that the other staff receives. The family makes it known that they only allow her mum to work there because they want to, not because they need it.
And Candice herself they treat like she owes them their life - which, in a way, she might, but the only reason she behaves properly around them is because she doesn't want her mother to be punished.

—————————————————————————————
Turning around I saw that Oakley had already found the weird Teal stuff and had instructed Fable on what to do with it.
Well if he applied the stuff by himself it would probably also heal all the minor cuts on his hands as well.
 The container of it was also only a fourth full now,  I hoped he'd be able to make more of it as soon as he fully moved in.
Then again the guy had absolutely no system when it came to storing things.
“Mrrw?”
I looked down at the sound to see the cat brushing up against my legs.
“There you are, c’mere”
I picked her up and let her sit one one arm while stabilizing her with the other one.
She immediately flopped over so I had to hold her like a baby instead and softly tapped at my chin.
This really was one of the nicest cats I had ever met, if not THE nicest.
It also seemed the Teal stuff wasn't needed anymore seeing as Oakley was putting the lid back on and just shoving the thing into one of the many shelves brimming with largely unidentifiable things.
“You know the little cat you have there would make a good familiar for someone with magic”
Both me and Fable looked at him with various degrees of confusion.
“What do you mean by that? 
I think she's a little too nice to be the accomplice of a witch”
He tilted his head and looked at me like I was an idiot, again.
“Not every witch is evil, man i ought to talk to Rikaad about your schooling system! Seems like it's doing a poor job!
Also not every magic wielder is a witch and not every magic wielder has a familiar, most don't actually as finding a suitable animal is quite hard”
Huh, i hadn't known that, then again we did fight an ice mage so maybe i really was just dumb.
Also I did not go to school, which Oakley seems to have forgotten.
“Oakley i never went to school,  they would have killed me before i put one foot in the building”
Oakley looked at me strangely and Fable was actually rather horrified.
oops we had forgotten to tell him the more bad side of the History.
I'd fix that while both of us were recovering.
Luckily thanks to that Teal stuff Fable should be fit in no time.
“Well that sucks, but at least you didn't turn out to be a complete idiot like some other people i met throughout time.
I can show you some of the more basic stuff after I'm done dragging my stuff here if you want?”
Like a teacher or  what? Also I had no idea what he considered basic knowledge but there was no doubt I'd learn at least something.
“I- uh sure why not, i don't doubt that'll be useful”
The winged man nodded then went to a cupboard that looked recently dusted and fished out two spoons that definitely weren't even from the same maker.
“Perfect! And now that the jam has cooled down, do you wanna try it?”
Right, the herb jam, I did have to say that it smelled good so why not?
I really doubted it was poisonous but I hoped Oakley had cleaned the spoons.
“Sure, it doesn't smell bad so why not?”
I looked over to Fable who just nodded in confirmation and I noticed that he looked kinda tired.
Oh right, the teal stuff takes energy to properly heal so him being tired was no surprise.
We could go take a nap after this,  I myself was also kind of worn out and sore from all that had happened.
Oakley dipped the spoons in the glass closest to him and then held them out to us so we each took one.
Luckily the spoon looked to be clean,  aside from the jam of course so without further ado i tried it.
It was sweeter than I expected seeing as Rosemary was more of a savory herb, at least in cooking, 
but it was possible that Oakley just put a ton of sugar in it.
But all in all it was pretty good.
“It's a lot sweeter than I thought it would be,  How much sugar did you pour into this? Aside from that its actually good and i bet the Kitchen staff would love the recipe”
I looked over to Fable to see what he thought of it but I could only see him sitting at the table with a mildly confused and miserable expression.
“She stole the entire spoon”
He pointed at the cat who sat on the other end of the table and was currently lickign the spoon clean.
Oakley also saw it and immediately started laughing his weird cawing laugh.
It took barely a second for me to join in and Fable started laughing as well, the sound still weirdly reminding me of a bell.
That mixed with Oakley’s cawing tone made it sound like weirdly out of sync music where only one person knew how to play an instrument.
To my ears it was a lovely sound, both my Brother and Oakley were also getting along, well as much as one could with the strange winged man.
The cat however was quite unbothered by the sound,  at least I thought so at first but then she stepped on the broad part of the spoon making it flip into the air and land in front of Oakley.
Yeah, he was right that the cat probably had at least a minor amount of magic.
Though it was unlikely she knew how to use it.
Oakley grabbed the spoon and tossed it in the sink where already some other cutlery was.
He gave Fable a new spoon to try,  making sure the cat wouldn't get it this time even if she tried.
Fable did agree with me that it was indeed sweeter than one would think and after reapplying his bandages,  even if they wouldn't be needed for that much longer,  We left to go back to the castle with the cat in tow who was insistent on being carried by Fable.
Considering he was tired and the teal stuff wasn't yet working that fast he kind of had to lean against me to avoid falling over.
I decided that since all that madness with Maringand was over I could finally move back into my shed,  This time Fable actually could use the loft as well.
I did wonder though how long he was going to stay now,  after all the Teal stuff would fix his limp leg in maybe a day tops.
I wished he'd reconsider his plan, at least for a little bit.
He'd been here barely a week and more than half of that he had been trapped in a horrible mindset.
I liked him, sure, he’s my brother after all, but at the same time I barely knew anything about him.
That did make me wonder though how much he even knew about himself.
He had been in that horrible mindset for years,  he probably didn't even know much about himself either.
Maybe him going out to try and find what kind of person he was would be the right thing to do after all.
Besides, after the tiny glimpses i got from what he was like telling him what to do would be the wrong thing, not to mention kinda fucked up.
No, Fable had every right to go and do what he wanted,  it was none of my business.
He was now leaning half asleep on me and I had to half drag him across the ground, it was a wonder he hadn't dropped the cat yet.
Yeah i’d get him to the loft and then let him sleep till the next day,  He needed it, a lot.
That would also give me some time to think of something to give him that he could take with him on his journey.
Nothing big or heavy of course, but just something little so he had something from his little brother.
Maybe something useful? 
That was of course the obvious choice.
But what?
Oh well, I could decide that later,  for now it was better if we both just rested a bit.
We reached the shed pretty quickly and without running into anyone else.
To be fair I doubted I'd want to chit chat anymore for today so that was just right for me.
Fable had by now almost fallen asleep while upright,  and still somehow holding the cat albeit that a lot more lopsided now.
That Teal stuff might be a huge help with injuries but apparently the trade off was that one got extremely tired really fast if used.
I had to keep that in mind for future reference.
Half dragging Fable up to the loft and onto a makeshift bed that was a little too short for him I also put the blinds on all the windows.
While I was busy with that the cat went and used my Elven Brother as a mattress.
He didn't react to it though, already out like a candle.
Well the sun would only begin to set in like an hour or so,  So what else was there to do for me?
I wasn't tired, at least not yet,  but there also wasn't really anything to do for me.
Fresh air would be nice though, and as long as the cat was there Fable wasn't alone either so a few minutes walking around would probably do me good so I went out of the door once again.
The last few days had been stupidly stressful and very chaotic,  and I honestly doubted that i had comprehended all of it yet.
I didn't really want to anyway.
We had lost people due to Winton’s stupid greed, most of them complete strangers to me that I had never met before, and now never would.
And of course some people I did know were now gone as well.
While Oakley somehow was fine Barsen was not,  a fact that still didn't really want to go into my head.
Who would take care of the Garden now?
And who would let us do stupid things around the castle without telling anyone?
Who else could ever be the kind and calm presence he had been?
I would never see that steady pillar of kindness and acceptance ever again.
And on top of that what would happen to his stuff?
Would it just be tossed out like I had seen city dwellers do with the belongings of people that died without any relatives?
I hoped not, and I doubted any of the castle residents would let that happen either.
But it still felt like someone had torn a hole into something Important that couldn't be repaired.
Despite not knowing the man for as long as most of the Castle did he had still been a very dear friend.
He had even given me tips on how to care for the wild array of plants that grew on my back in the Ardua form.
Though Half of them weren't exactly doable considering they grew in flesh instead of dirt.
What a fucked up thing taken out of context.
My wanderings had taken me without my noticing along the outer wall all the way to where Barsen had Died.
Aside from the patches of mud and the bent branch on the sapling there wasn't even that much evidence of what had happened here.
Well, if one could ignore the rusty stains that is.
Seemed like my grimm musings had taken me here somehow.
I felt like throwing up once again but pushed past the feeling.
I didn't have anything to throw up anyway.
Still, at the sight something in me Ached terribly.
Despite all the differences and things that happened in between i knew the feeling, i knew it well even.
It felt like shortly after my mother had died and part of me had rejected that reality for a good week or so.
It was the feeling of loss.
What a terrible thing to experience once again.
I briefly wondered if the plants would grieve him if they could.
They probably would,  he had treated them with such care and respect after all.
The tiny sapling here had even refused to let him die face down in the dirt.
Looking at it I saw that it was some sort of willow tree,  but I was no expert and the thing reached maybe my waist so it was impossible to tell what kind.
I did feel sad for the broken branch though.
Maybe I could mend it?
I didn't really have any string on me for that though,  Maybe I could use something else?
Oh wait, hair could work.
Not the human hair I had right now but the long and thick strands of the Ardua mane would probably work just as good as string.
Going a good few paces away from the little clearing so i wouldn't damage anything i carefully shifted to the quadrupedal form.
Trying to use the clawed paws to get some of the fur didn't work as well as I had hoped so I tried to tangle some of my mane in a thorny bush which had a lot more success.
Shifting back to the smaller human scale again I fished the few hairs that got stuck out of the shrubbery again.
Huh, they were a lot longer than I thought they'd be.
While i had expected them to maybe be half my lower arm long,  they were actually the length of my entire arm,  shoulder to wrist and as thick as a fine sewing thread.
How weird.
Well whatever, it would surely work for what i had planned at least.
Going back over I carefully put the bent branch back in its place and then used the strands of fur to fix it into place.
There, now it could grow properly again.
I stepped a few paces back to make sure I hadn't messed up my poor attempt at helping the plant up.
It didn't seem like it but then again I was no expert.
What a strange sight still, a lone sapling in a place where not too long ago Carnage had taken place.
It still felt like someone had twisted an ice cold knife into my Heart,  well the beating one,  and I knew that this awful feeling would persist for quite some time.
I should probably leave now, the tree wasn't as broken as before and staying here could not be good for my Mental health.
Taking one last look at the only thing that had stood witness to what happened here I turned around and went back towards the castle.
While walking through the Garden I noticed that the Plants still seemed miserable, branches drooping down,  Petals already closed despite it being only late afternoon and the grass not as vibrant as it had been just a few days beforehand.
Could plants grieve? If so, these certainly were doing as such.
It still was weird to be in the middle of that so I hurried along forward and back to the relative safety of the castle.
I reached it within minutes and debated on what to do for now.
It didn't look like anyone was out on the benches or front yard anymore, good, that would spare me some smalltalk.
I didn't feel like talking at all at the moment anyway, my mind was still slowly processing what had happened, albeit lately so.
I wanted some peace, but Fable was sleeping in the Loft of my shed and I really did not want to stay in the Garden right now.
Well there weren't many other places i knew, especially ones where there were no people.
So that left the Library and… The tower that allowed us to see the enemies approaching early.
It was possible that someone was in the library at this time to read or to also get some peace so I'd go to the tower.
If anyone wanted to get to me they had to climb a stupid amount of stairs first and considering i didn't even want to do that i doubted anybody else would follow me.
After a good few minutes of stair climbing I was at the top of the tower for the second time in my life, only to find to my extreme surprise I was not as alone as I thought I'd be.
There, on the stone bank that went around the outer wall under the windows sat a familiar red headed form.
He was clutching a longish box that I was pretty sure contained a beautifully made telescope with plant based engravings.
I debated for a moment if I should leave or not but that choice was taken from me as Robin turned around to look at me.
The skin under his eyes was a little red but that could also have been an effect from the setting sun.
I chose not to mention it, instead I just silently sat next to him as he tilted his head and pointed to the seat next to him.
We sat in silence for what felt like forever, just staring out at the ocean without actually seeing it.
It was very probable that this time both of us spaced out because there seemed to have been a good hour or so missing seeing as it was now dark out while just a moment ago the sun had just begun to set.
Huh, so that's what it was like.
At a shifting sound I glanced over to the rusthead who was now leaning his forehead on the box while hugging the rest of it.
Why did he have it in the first place?
I wasn't about to ask that though,  it would probably just make everyone upset again.
But as it turned out i didn't have to ask as he gave that information of his own accord.
“Do you remember when you told me to go give Barsen the Telescope back and then go look after the kitchen staff?”
I nodded, I had done that so he wouldn't randomly run after us into the battle.
“Well i went to give it back, but after like twenty minutes he came by the kitchen and handed it to me again.
He told me to keep an eye on the box like it was my own and if I did a good job of that I could have it one day.
Then he left, and… didn't come back.
So I guess it's mine now?
I mean he did say if i kept an eye on it i could have it,  but I just don't understand why…?
And why would he give it to me of all people? 
I'm clumsy and I drop things all the time. 
He knew that, so why give something so precious to me?”
While talking tears had begun to fall from his eyes even if he tried his best to keep his voice steady.
I had no answer to any of the things he'd been talking about,  Why would I have?
Robin had been better friends with the Gardener than I had, spent more time with him as well seeing as Robin wanted to learn about plants.
Maybe that was why, if Barsen had known there were soldiers while the castle was largely unguarded he probably wanted to ensure the pretty telescope went to someone that shared his love for plants at least a little.
I moved to hug the shaking redhead who, while being strangely quiet about it, was still leaving tear tracks down his face.
He sort of, just flopped into my hold, still silently crying and it was taking almost all of my willpower not to start crying too.
“I don't know,  but if he trusted you to take care of it then I don't doubt that you can.
He was not stupid, far from it really, so if he judged you to be the best candidate to keep a eye on it then you have to be just that”
He sniffled a little and wiped his eyes with the corner of his sleeve.
“You think so?”
“I wouldn't say it otherwise, couldn't anyway”
He made a humming sound and just continued to lay there in a miserable heap.
Looking out of the tower again I saw that it was completely dark now, the only light coming from a torch Robin must have brought with him beforehand.
Maybe we should head back down now,  if the torch went out we would have absolutely no light to descend the stairs and I for one was not keen on falling down all of them.
“I think we should go back down,  it's dark and i don't want to fall should the torch go out.
You feel like getting up?”
He just made a grumbling noise and shrunk down further like he wanted to completely disappear.
Didn't feel like walking huh?
Well i could probably carry him, he did also look tired.
Probably from crying.
“Want a ride?”
He looked at me confusedly for a second, likely forgetting that I could actually lift stuff even if I wasn't in my Ardua form.
Figuring out how to carry him without burning him with the torch took a minute or so but in the end he was clinging to my back with the telescope still clutched to his front while I carried the torch in my left hand.
While Robin could probably hold the torch as well I kinda needed it in front of me to see where i was going and if he held it it was likely going to be close to my face so this was the best solution.
I wasn't keen on setting my hair on fire anyway.
The trip down seemed to be faster than the one going up but I really wasn't complaining about that.
Considering going down the stairs wasn't as exhausting as going up we reached the bottom fairly quick and I was stuck in the empty torch mount near the door.
That's probably where it came from anyway.
While I did that I realized I had no idea where Robin's normal room was, there hadn't been any need seeing as we usually met outside or in my shed.
“Robin? Which way is your room?”
I asked the Ginger currently slouching over my back but didn't get an answer.
Twisting my head around as much as I could and listening to his breathing revealed that he had simply fallen asleep.
It would be adorable if it wasn't for the fact that I had no idea what to do now.
Since I had no idea where his room was I just set off towards my own hoping to figure out how to get him off my back and onto some pillows without waking him up.
I'd get to that when I was back in my shed.
I wondered if the Cat was still there,  she had been using Fable as a bed after all.
Probably not though.
Slinking around I actually walked past Nea who just quietly nodded after seeing the sleeping ginger on my back.
Thank fuck, i didn't really want to talk to most people yet,  also i'd rather not wake Robin up by talking to the usually rather loud woman.
Also I was pretty sure she wasn't supposed to be out and about right now even if she was better now.
Well, not my problem.
Ducking under the doorframe I emerged right in front of the shed, 
well that was the easy part over with.
Now I just had to figure out how to bunch up some pillows for Robin without waking him up, or Fable for that matter.
Clumsily closing the door behind me again I saw that I had just shoved the blankets and such from when I slept in the Ardua form to one wall, making a pile of soft Fabrics.
Perfect, at least I didn't have to pile it all up myself.
Now the only question was how to get Robin off of my back without waking him.
In the end I managed by having him slide sideways off and onto the pile of assorted cloth pieces.
I pulled one over him to act as a blanket as he curled up like a wet kitten while still clutching the telescope box to himself.
I wouldn't even try to take it, Though he would have some imprints of the box on his face tomorrow.
Grabbing a not occupied blanket I dragged it over to some of the leftover hay bales that we had been too lazy to remove while sweeping the shed and settled down there.
Lucky thing I wasn't allergic to anything.
Cocooning myself in the fabric to avoid the straws poking me and kickin my shoes off into the hay I fell asleep as well.
I had no idea how long I was out for but was awoken to the sound of familiar voices.
Opening my eyes I saw both Fable and Robin sitting on the floor in front of each other.
A meowing sound told me they weren't the only ones there.

Meet the author
🍁 Hi, I'm Moshke Palmoni, and I'm on my way to self publishing my first book
🍁 My pronouns are (currently) they/them
🍁 I live by the seaside with my partner ("Selkie") and our weird cat
🍁 I basically live to read and write, but I probably do 70% more planning new stories than actually writing them
🍁 As my pen name should imply, I am Jewish and the OTHER thing I basically live for is deeply philosophical debates in shul about minor details of the Talmud or Torah
🍁 When I'm not reading or writing, I like to swim or knit. I'm hoping to learn to crochet soon
🍁 I do have a day job that unfortunately cuts into my writing time even though it's a career I care deeply about
🍁 My degree was in archeology, and though it is not my day job I enjoy learning about culture and language
My Current Projects
✏️ Fae and Brownie (complete at ~21k): Fae is an imaginative and well-read 10-year-old disabled autistic girl growing up with her mom, nonbinary parent, and sister. She is an outcast who finds relief in her pretend games of magic and in books she reads. Her life changes very suddenly with a new kid at school and her aunt moving in with her family. At first it seems like only one of those changes is any good - Aunt Lilian doesn't seem to understand anything about how Fae communicates or lives. Over the next week, with the help of her new friend Brownie, she learns about ways to accommodate her needs, and that sometimes changes lead to nice things. (It's complete but I still need to hire people for the cover and illustrations, it's been edited but I'd like a beta reader or two, and then I have to figure out how to hype it up before actually publishing. I'm hoping for sometime this year).
✏️ To Die Among the Stars (WIP at ~35k of 100-150k). In the semi distant future, things are...actually, much as they've always been, only with cooler tech and fewer forests. A decade after the first disastrous manned FTL flight, the government's scientists are ready to try again, aiming for a distant exoplanet that should be able to support life. But this time they're ready for failure; the only people on board are those no one would miss or whose loved ones don't have the power to protest. It's legal if they volunteered. What the passengers are told is that they will have to record their experiences and bio data to send home. What they aren't told is their mission was never meant to succeed. They aren't trained for this or expected to amount to much, but they're determined to survive - more than that, they're determined that all of them survive.
✏️ Timekeepers. Still in the planning and research stage. In the semi distant future, things are much improved. There is no police force or political borders. And an experimental time travel program has allowed for all sorts of new academic studies. Esther Dahan is an anthropologist on one of the new time traveling teams. Her specialties are languages and home life, but each team member studies something related but different. It will be a series following her over years, as her team discovers a nefarious force following them through time, but that requires me to actually research properly the eras and locations I want to use and that might be a while.
✏️ Halara. Currently a universe without a plot. I have a kingdom, a magic system, politics, a working language, and 500 years of social change and royal family, but haven't yet decided how to tell their stories. Eventually I will probably follow a handful of the rules through the generations. Oh, and they have 6 standard cultural genders not built around biology.
✏️ Halfling. My oldest idea, the basics dating back to high school, but unrecognizable from my early writings. Also more an idea than anything - I've started and given up writing it so many times. Shakatra Zoawin is half Fae and half human. Stronger than any human sorcerer and excellent at glamour, they are seen as a threat by most people, yet are too moral and emotional to fit in among the cold and controlling Fae. They have mostly been isolated, growing up on the streets and fighting the Wild Fae that pose a threat to nearby humans, with only their adopted brother--ironically a Wild Fae himself--for companionship. They fell in love once but renounced that idea again after it ended in tragedy. Things begin to change the year they turn 100--though they still appear to be in their early 30's. They meet Lynn Kanin, like no one they've ever come across, though she is fully human and not even magic. Their meeting has unintended consequences that mean the world might fall, or life might actually turn out alright for the outcasts.
