snow day | mike schmidt
summary - abby has a snow day and spends it with you and mike
warnings / includes - not edited
————
“hey, abs,” mike whispers, shaking her away. she groans and pushes his hand away. “i don’t want to go to school.”
mike glances at you, seeing the excited smile on your face. “you don’t have to, abby.”
she opens one eye. “why?” “your school called and cancelled school. you have a snow day!” you exclaim.
abby sits up in bed, a big smile on her face. “we can build a fort and a snowman!”
“you got great ideas, babe,” you grin at her. “do you want to sleep in some more or are you hungry?”
“i’m hungry,” abby says. “can i have waffles with chocolate chips?”
“you sure can. get to work, chef,” you turn to mike. he chuckles softly. “i need my sous chef.”
“alright. you need any help getting ready?” you ask abby. “no,” she says, hopping out of bed and heading to her closet.
“okay. call us if you need anything. we’ll be in the kitchen.”
you and mike make your way to the kitchen, grabbing a box of pre-made pancake mix and putting some milk and eggs into it. mike’s hands rest on your waist, his chin sitting on your shoulder as you both wait for the batter to cook. you lean into his chest, enjoying the warmth radiating from him. it’s so cold in his house during winter time since he tries to cut down on the electric bills, but you don’t mind. you had him as a portable blanket and he doesn’t mind. it’s an excuse for him to be closer to you.
“you sure you can take work off today?” you ask. “yeah,” mike nods. “even if i couldn’t, i am not driving in that mess.”
you both look out the window. you got eight inches of snow. you didn’t even want to try and walk in it, much else drive.
“well, i’m glad we can take the day off.” you spin yourself around, leaning your back against the counter. mike smiles, “me, too. it’s well-deserved for both of us.” he leans in, pulling your lips in a slow kiss. you sigh into him, your eyes fluttering shut like you’re in a movie. his kisses always make your brain feel numb and body tingly.
little footsteps pad behind two. mike is quick to pull away, positioning himself to where he’s beside you, his hand resting on the small of your back.
“did you out chocolate chips in the waffles?” abby asks. “yes, ma’am,” you answer.
she sits down at the table, placing her crayons and blank pieces of paper in front of her. after the whole freddy’s fiasco, she’s stopped drawing those kids and now has started drawing her friends from school and her teachers. she’s been very into drawing you and mike, as well as your cat that you and mike are 99% sure she’s plotting to steal.
“you should show that drawing to cornelius, abby. he’ll probably be confused that there’s two of them,” you remark.
“or you can bring him here and we can keep him,” abby says.
you can’t help but snort at her request. “maybe if mike invites me to move in.”
mike rolls his eyes, flipping the waffle maker and taking the waffle out. “you basically already live here. your cat probably thinks you’ve abandoned him.”
“not true. i haven’t stayed a night here in a couple weeks.”
“mmm, yeah. what’s up with that?”
“been busy. you miss me or something?” you grab some plates and silverware, starting to set up the table.
“maybe,” he says. you glance at him, catching the coy smile playing on his face.
“after breakfast can we make a snowman ?” abby asks.
“sure,” you nod. “it’s cold, abby,” mike says.
“there’s nothing else to do here. and i want to build the fort after we go outside.”
“that’s not a bad idea,” you look at mike. “i’ll look if we have a carrot for the nose.
abby eyes light up and mike shoot you a glare. you pat his back gingerly, grabbing some napkins and cups.
“you have to put on a sweatshirt and coat, okay? and a hat and gloves,” mike says. abby let’s our a big sigh. “fine,” she says, knowing it’s part of the seam.
abby gobbles down a waffle and a half before she pops up out of her seat like a jack-in-the-box, running to her room and putting on all her warm clothes. she throws on a beanie and grabs a scarf, having you help her tuck it into her coat.
“hurry up, guys! the snow will melt!” abby exclaims, running to the door.
“hey, hey, hey,” mike stand up. “i’ll get my coat on so at least one of us is outside with you.” he goes into hips room and grabs his winter coat and some boots.
“here, you need this.” you slip a black beanie onto his head. “i’ll be fine.”
“you made abby bundle up, so you need to, too,” you say. “fine. don’t worry about the dishes, i’ll clean them up after this.” mike kisses you on the cheek before going outside.
you at least put the dishes in the sink before getting yourself ready to go outside. you close the door behind you, seeing the bottom hall of the snowman already standing.
“that was fast,” you say. “abby was very enthusiastic. now she’s a little tired i think,” mike says.
“it’s hard to roll snowballs, even for me. they always fall apart when i do it,” you sigh.
“ah, finally something you’re not good at,” mike grins at you. you roll your eyes and punch his shoulder, a smile breaking the straight line on your lips. “i’m pretty good at this.” you say as you bend down and pick up a handful of snow, molding it into a small hall and throwing it right at mike’s face.
“hey, i’m right next to you! that not fair!”
you give him a wink, walking over to abby to help her roll a snowball. you’re almost done when you feel snow it the back of your neck. you gasp and look up, seeing mike’s hands in his pockets.
“what?” he asks, a telling smile on his face. “abby schmidt, would you like to form an alliance with me in a snowball fight against your brother?” you turn to her as you help her put the body of the snowman on.
“yes, duh!” she giggles. “looks like you’re alone, micheal,” you look at him, putting your arm around abby.
he shrugs, making another snowball. “i’m not worried.” he hits you in the face like you did to him.
“looks like we have a war on our hands,” you remark.
you and abby end up using half of the snowman as your shield. mike is careful not to knock down the snow balls, but he has impeccable aim from playing little league, so it’s no sweat for him. abby is your snowball supplier. her little hands mold them quickly, handing them to you one after the other as you aim them at mike’s face and chest.
“you getting cold with all the snow in your clothes, schmidt?” you ask.
“nope. i’m pretty warm, which means you suck at this.” he throws a snow ball at you, hitting your shoulder. the snow fans across your neck, hitting a sliver of skin where your scarf doesn’t cover.
“we need to make a huge snowball,” you whisper to abby. “on it,” she nods excitedly. she’s already lined up 10 snowballs for you to use in the meantime.
“no conspiring secretly!” mike says. “we can do what we want!” you laugh, throwing another snowball, throwing it with too much force to where it lands behind him.
mike ends up using a tree as his shield. even with it’s small branches, you find it more difficult. you look down at abby, seeing a snowball half the size of your snowman.
“good job, babe,” you pat her back. “after this can i have some hot chocolate?” abby asks.
“of course. we can celebrate with it,” you grin. you look back at mike who aims a snowball at your head, knocking your beanie off. “oh, it is on.”
you and abby stand up, carrying the big ball of snow. it’s heavier than you thought it would be, but you’re hopefully that this will work.
“woah.” mike’s jaw drops. “this is really not fair. i don’t have a teammate to do that with!”
“sucks to suck i guess,” you laugh. you and abby count down and throw the snowball at mike, causing him to tumble over. it covers most of his body, his face covered in snow now. “we won!” you exclaim, high-fiving abby.
“alright, nice play guys. next time i’ll get you,” he says, dusting himself off.
“we’ll see about that,” you grin.
you three make the rest of the snowman, using a carrot for his nose and blueberries for his eyes and smile. you grab your scarf and wrap it around his neck, mike grabbing a baseball hat from his closet and putting it on the snowman’s head.
“very nice,” mike remarks. “let’s go inside. i’m so cold,” abby says, running to the door.
“yeah, i’m going to take a shower,” mike says as you all step inside.
“me too,” abby says.
you and mike let abby shower first. mike showers after her and you make all of you hot chocolate and bake some cookies in the shape of christmas cutters.
you take a quick shower after mike, more so to warm you up than anything. you pull on one of mike’s sweaters and some pj pants. when you exit the bedroom, you find abby and mike building a fort over the tv.
“good idea, guys,” you say, grabbing your mug and sipping some hot cocoa.
“can we watch a movie?” abby asks. “of course,” you nod.
abby puts on a christmas movie, laying on her stomach in front of you two. mike is laying against the bottom of the couch with you in his arms.
“mm, i’m so sleepy,” you yawn, snuggling up to his chest. “that snowball fight wear you down?” mike asks.
“unfortunately, yes. i’m surprised you’re not snoring already.”
“i do not snore.”
“oh, yes you do.”
“well, you sing in your sleep.”
“you’re making that up,” you laugh. he shakes his head. “the other night you were singing ‘crazy train’ or something.”
“that is…” you breathe out, “a lie.”
“i’ll record you next time, how about that?”
“okay. prepare to be wrong.”
he chuckles and kisses your forehead, hugging you tighter. “i love you.”
you hum and smile, reaching up and kissing his lips. “i love you more.”

The Cat Part I
A/n; I thought I’ll jump on this trend with a short story, hopefully I didn’t get too carried away… I also don’t never posted on tumblr and I don’t like the writing format or maybe I did something wrong? Not sure, tell me your thoughts.
Warning; the reader is amab, older brother to Charlie, and is the dominant partner over Alastor, mentions of lingerie on Alastor’s part, that’s it.
It’s been a week after the battle with Heaven Exterminator’s and Adam, Dad and you have been visiting Charlie more mending a bond that is not completely lost…
Though you both notice the change in atmosphere when you visit, you chalked it up to differences after not talking for so long, apparently not when Alastor leaves the hotel after another great shift complete his words not yours, he tells you how Charlie and even Angel and Husker are down in the dumps over Sir Pentious’s departure from Hell.
So like the best older brother you are if you say so yourself, and needing a break yourself from your never ending duties, you had Joanne clear your schedule a week in advance and told her to call the Imps that are station there to buy groceries, for the Morningstar cabin in the fifth circle in Pride.
“I know, just tell them to pack a bag for a week… If they don’t have it I’ll buy it myself… No Charlie I’m not telling you where we going… Yes pack a swim suit… Yes Dad is coming, he, Alastor and I organized this trip… we’ll meet you all outside the hotel… Okay good bye, I love you too..”
You sigh, at least you didn’t give away where you all are going, you jolt shivers running down your spine at the thought of your lover in a swim suit… well why wait~? You start prancing out your study and bounding up the grand staircase to your shared room with Alastor.
“Mon Cher, I told you, I did not want you to see what I’m packing and—” His ear flicks as he snaps his fingers stuffing and closing the suitcase.
“And you’ll come to me.” You both finish knowing exactly what the Deer demon said but couldn’t hold yourself back from prancing to him, his ruby eyes not leaving you.
You keep your eyes glued to his as you kiss his nose in greeting, you feel his hands on your shoulder as you let him lead you where now your back is facing the bed where his suit case lays. You narrow your eyes your vision not reaching the packed clothes, some damn lingerie better be in there if your inamorato doesn’t want your input on his outfits for this week, you feel his cold thumbs rubbing at your cheeks it draws your orbs to his once again.
“Don’t make that face sirop de pomme, I highly doubt you’re fully packed and ready~” He adds with a nip on your jaw.
You scoff and roll your eyes, your hands find hold of his wrist to take them off your cheeks, his eyes following your movements to stare intensely at your reflection in the large three mirrors angled to look at your form completely. Your hair isn’t out of place from when you styled it this morning, your outfit while simple and comfortable for this car ride you’re glad Alastor chose it, his taste is impeccable.
Alastor grins with a giggle as he successfully changed your attention once again, now he can finish packing his tail flicks at the mere thought of what’s to come~
->Time Skip<-
You got out your car arriving at the doors of the second stop for today and bound over to your lovers side and open the door for him your lidded eyes never leaving his as you wait for your payment, he only chuckles his thin lips kissing your cheek.
“Ahem” You both turn your heads to the sound you grin “Hey Dad!” “Lucifer” Alastor’s tone flat as you keep his door open bounding up to your Dad for a hug before he gets the chance to squeeze you, you lift him first and squeeze till you hear let out a squeak and laugh patting your back, you laugh too putting him down.
“Golly you gotten faster! That’s my boy.” He says his orbs shining at you rubbing your shoulder, you smile picking up his suit case about to ask where’s sister before you feel Alastor’s arm around your neck bringing your face close to his, his eyes glowing with smugness?
“I’ll go get Charlie and the others, poor things must still be packing.” He announces laughs trailing after him you didn’t miss your Dad’s eye twitch when your eyes follow your lover’s form staring intently at his tail and that ass in those shorts, you sigh and let a finger pull at your collar smirking as you won’t let this slide.
“Apple sauce, I’m happy you’re happy, but does it have to be him? Perhaps it can be negotiable?” Dad suggests raising a broad brow to you, “Nonnegotiable Dad.” Laughing as you move to your trunk, he follows finally taking notice of the luxury vehicle he’ll be riding in for two hours. If you’re finally driving safely that is.
“Hey isn’t this the car you got and we fixed together?Ha! It is!” He laughs, you snap your fingers opening the trunk to fit his and soon to be others cases as you hear them coming as Dad run his finger over the side of the trunk seeing for dust, of course there isn’t and laughs again at the license plate IN22•6NCD.. remembering the time you all watched the movie series even if Charlie was afraid of dolls for awhile…
“Hey, Short Prince! Control smiles over here!” The spider growled out, Fat Nuggets in one arm while the rest pointed at the deer demon, you both look over seeing them all walk out with various faces but for some it’s normal, you then see Alastor last one out with a closed mouth smile and his arms behind his back and is his head at a tilt too? You can’t help but coo silently at the sight.
“What happened?” You ask sharing a look with Dad who shrugs and winks before disappearing, Angel then takes his place his form leaving no sight for anyone else, “He popped up in my room no knocking or anything and sped through the process of packing! You know a star like myself have to look great don’t you?”
You blink as you take his suitcase from his hand and placing it inside, “What ever you need I’ll get for you, alright Angel? It’s not like we won’t be a snap away from a mall.” You say laughing and waving your hand.
“I did knock, so what’s a demon to do against loud music~?” The demon in question pouts at you with a hand on his chest his ruby eyes looking to innocent then they should at you, or perhaps it’s you? You let a hum at the thought..
Angel huffs rolling his eyes, pulls out his sunglasses from his fluff and stomps away intent on at least getting a comfortable seat then watch this bullshit.
“Maybe you should apologize Alastor, you did give us all a scare.” Charlie chimes while smiling her eyes follow Angel’s form, your orbs peer up at the demon in question chuckling “Don’t tell me you ran them all out like a bat out of Hell, I thought you have more manners than that?” You jibe.
“Not even manners can save excitement! My dears.” He states, watching Husk come between him and Charlie placing the last two bags inside and closing it.
“Are y’all done yapping, I don’t like cramp spaces.” Husk says, glaring at you both. You smile putting an arm around Alastor hips leading the group to the doors of your luxury SUV that should be comfortable enough for them all. You watch as they climb inside closing their doors for them you whisk yourself in the drivers seat, finally starting your week of vacation….

Pen pals - p. parker
TASM! Peter Parker x Fem! reader
summary: peter parker is your pen pal.
warnings: none so far!!!
hello helloooo!!! i had this idea because i myself have a pen pal, and it’s honestly really fun and reminds me of peter. this will be multiple parts!! anyhoo, happy reading!
Having a pen pal was fun. It gave you something to look forward to whenever you needed to open the mailbox. It was nice, although your lovely pen pal, Peter, was on the other side of the country. You were in Seattle. He was in Queens, New York. It was a nice arrangement that you two had. No phone numbers, just handwritten letters, and cute little pictures.
When you opened your apartment mailbox and saw that you had a letter from Peter, your heart felt warm. It was the warmest you’ve felt in a while.
Y/N,
My apologies for not writing you back sooner. School is kicking my butt recently, and I moved back in with May (hence why a new address is on the envelope). My old roommate went BALLISTIC on me for little things, so I decided I needed to leave. May is a better person to have around, anyway.
The fall semester ended last week, and I wish I could say that I passed my finals. My professors are just mean, I think. I’ve been super stressed out lately, and writing this letter is helping me. You’re my savior. Also, the pictures you sent me of you in Tennessee are amazing. You should be a model! I’m sure you hear that a lot because of how pretty you are;)
I hope it’s not too cold in Seattle. I took some pictures of random things I thought you’d like, maybe that’ll distract you from how cold it is. I know how much you hate the cold. (You chose the wrong place to live!)
Anyhoo, I’m sorry this letter is short. My wrist is cramping up and May needs help with dinner. Write back as soon as you can.
Much love,
Peter ♥
Photo one: Peter in an obnoxiously large New Year’s Eve hat, grinning from ear to ear with his friend(?)
Photo two: A Polaroid of stray cats bonding in what you assume is Peter’s front yard.
Photo three: A Polaroid of Peter that was clearly taken by May. Peter is holding a tray of muffins, and he looks really stupid in his apron.
You get to writing him a letter right away.
Dear Peter,
I love the pictures. I’ll add them to my growing collection on my wall:)
My day has been so shitty. I wish you were here. It gets lonely, sometimes. I have friends, I’ve told you very little about them. They’re great, don’t get me wrong, but living alone is just lonely. Maybe I should get a cat or something. I need something to come home to. (Sorry for making this portion of the letter sad. I just needed someone to talk to.)
The weather in Queens looks nice. You’re awfully lucky, Peter. It’s cold and slushy here. I’m cold to the bone. Like, nothing will warm me up. It’s annoying. I just want it to be summer again. I hate being pale and cold.
I don’t have any pictures as of right now, so I’m sorry about that. I have some drawings I could give you.
My letter is short too, so I guess we’re even. I need to nap the sadness away.
Cold and loving,
Y/N ♥
~
The next letter you receive from Peter is about a week later.
My dearest Y/N,
I’m so sorry you aren’t feeling well.
I know we said we wouldn’t exchange phone numbers, and I respect that, but I just need to give you mine. I need to. Just in case. I don’t want you to be sad and lonely and have to wait for my letters to come. I like you. I like you A LOT– And I honestly want to meet you in person but that’s a conversation for another day. I’ve been saving up for it. Maybe you should come during the spring? You’d love it here, I know it. Or I could come to you? Whatever, we can talk about it more over the phone.
My phone number:
(718)-XXX-XXXX
Call me;)
Love always,
Peter ♥
You immediately spring up to your feet and grab your phone. Your hands were shaking as you dialed the number and called it, praying he wouldn’t think it was a spam call.
“Pete?” You ask, voice higher than you meant it to be.
Boyish laughter erupts on the other end of the line, and you already know that it’s Peter. Of course, his laugh would sound so sweet.
“Hi, lovie.”

Mayday Hayday Gift Exchange
Tumblr media
I had the absolute pleasure of participating in this years' Ikeseries gift exchange hosted by @olivermorningstar and @lorei-writes, and I got the wonderful @tulipsaisle for my giftee. She has a wonderful OC that was fun to write about and I hope I did her justice. Thank you all for the opportunity to join in on this amazing experience!
Fox Fashion
Shiloh scratched the tabby cat’s back, taking a break from running her stall at the day’s slow peak. It was so heartwarming for her attention to be rewarded with purring delight and affectionate head bumps.
Paying attention to the cat also had the added benefit of Shiloh being able to ignore Nokto Klein.
“Shi-loooooh,” Nokto sing-songed as though he’d not been yapping for the past five minutes about his latest conquest at some ball he just attended. Couldn’t he have picked a more interesting topic? It’s not like Nokto wasn’t a great storyteller: the way he could draw in a crowd as he utilized his honey-smooth voice and descriptive embellishments was near unparalleled, but he so often wasted his talents by telling tales no one wanted to hear, least of all Shiloh.
“Did you hear something, Minou?” Shiloh cooed at the cat, “All I heard was the wind. If only it would blow its hot air somewhere else, huh?”
“Come now, I’m sure there are better ways for me to put my mouth to use than just blowing air, hmmm?” Nokto purred. Shiloh clucked her tongue and turned her face away so he couldn’t see her red cheeks. She always struggled to think up a good comeback when he toed the line of vulgarity like that.
“Be honest, dear,” Nokto said, angling his body to try and catch a peek of her face, “is a cat you see every day really more interesting than a prince specifically stopping by to visit you?”
“Oh, of course not,” Shiloh waved Nokto off. She took a small toy mouse out of the pocket of her dress (it was worth  making friends with the best seamstress in town) and tossed it on the ground for Minou to play with. “If Licht were to stop by, I’d be happy to sit him down for some tea and snacks.”
“Just Licht?” Nokto prompted.
“Well, there’s also Leon, Jin, Yves,” Shiloh counted on her fingers as she listed everyone aside from Nokto, “I heard Prince Keith is a good conversationalist and knows a lot about flowers, I wouldn’t mind picking his brain about them, and there’s-”
“I think I get it,” Nokto said dryly, “so foxes rank pretty low under cats with you.” He reached out to boop Minou’s nose, causing the cat to scrunch her face adorably. “What am I going to have to do to make you change your mind?”
Shiloh raised an eyebrow at him in disbelief. “Do you really think you can compare with Minou’s gentle sweetness? Her precious curled feetsies?”
“I don’t think any human can compare to that,” Nokto admitted. That was suspicious. Usually he didn’t give up so-
“But I can show you a different kind of pleasure that’s just as delightful.”
-soon. “Unless you’re talking about the pleasure of silence, I’m not interested,” Shiloh said, dusting her dress as she stood up, ready to refocus on her shop.
Nokto laughed and said, “I’ll get you to admit my charms one day, Miss Hayes.”
* * *
“Ugh!” Shiloh groaned as she fanned herself with her hand, “Why can’t spring last longer?” Maybe she should upgrade from an outdoor stall to a shopfront-then she’d have more than just shade to protect herself.
At least she wasn’t suffering alone. Nokto had shown up minutes ago, having heard the same thing from Celine, the seamstress, about a surprise showing up around now. And Nokto wasn’t any better in the heat than she was. “I can easily say this isn’t my preferred method of working up a sweat,” he agreed, asking for the second time, “Are you sure you don’t want to close up and go to a cafe? I’d never imply you were anything other than a delight to look at, but you’re turning a shade of red that even I normally can’t get out of you.”
“No thanks,” Shiloh stood her ground, though there was a part of her that couldn’t deny being tempted, “but if you can’t handle it, I won’t think less of you for needing to escape to safety.”
“Such a kind offer. But I’m not callous enough to leave you out here all by yourself. Why, what if you were to feel faint under the-” Nokto sputtered a bit when Shiloh frantically shushed at him to be quiet, flapping her hands in his face. She’d just spotted Celine’s surprise trot around the corner.
“Oh. My. God!!!” she shrieked, taking in the sight of Minou in the most adorable little getup Shiloh had ever seen. Never in a million years would Shiloh ever imagine she’d see Minou in a dress, but here she was, watching the tabby proudly prance over to her, wearing a tiny, flowery-there were roses! And junipers!-green sundress, perfectly sized and aimed at making Shiloh lose her mind with cuteness overload.
“Well, that’s certainly something,” Nokto observed over Shiloh’s gushing, “That must have been a struggle, to wrangle a cat into that outfit.”
“It’s worth it,” Shiloh declared in awe, “she’s the most precious thing I’ve ever seen. And such a good idea! How many people would jump on the idea of outfits for their pets? Celine could start a whole line of clothing for pets-the fabric and labour costs would be much lower, too. Oh, she’s brilliant!” 
Nokto watched on as Shiloh began muttering about the process of the fashion industry and how it can accommodate Celine’s project. “This is what gets you going, is it?” he chuckled in amusement, “Regular clothes just aren’t enough for you anymore so now you need a tiny version to get excited over?”
Shiloh cut off her rambling, a hand on her hip as she addressed Nokto, “When a new line drops, I’ll be all too happy to talk your ear off about it. Don’t for one second think I’ve given up one of my big loves in life. But come on!” she gestured toward Minou, who was in the middle of grooming herself, “I challenge you to find anything cuter than a cat in a dress.”
“Sounds like a tough challenge,” Nokto said, a sudden gleam in his eyes, “what do I get if I win?”
That didn’t sound good at all. Shiloh eyed Nokto warily, wondering what the tricky fox was up to. But it wasn’t like she could take it back-withdrawing now would just make it look like she thought Nokto could actually do it. She would have to face this head on. “If you can succeed, I’ll take you up on one of your non-sexual! invitations.”
Nokto’s grin made her immediately regret her words. “Sounds like a deal. I hope you keep to your word.”
Ah, great. Shiloh blamed her poor decision on the awful heat.
* * *
Well, today was the day. Nokto had messaged Shiloh to let her know he was ready to show her something cuter, and Shiloh could only hope that he came up with something perverted; it would be a pain to deal with, but at least she lose and be dragged along on whatever plan he had up his sleeves. All Shiloh could do was count down the minutes until the time Nokto promised to arrive, her eyes boring holes at the street corner he should come down.
She’d wracked her brain, trying to think of every possibility available, but when Nokto finally rounded that corner, she realized nothing could prepare her. Shiloh slapped her palm over her mouth to stop herself from bursting out laughing at the sight before her.
“Well?” Nokto twirled for her, the hem of the dress he wore flaring out with the motion, “What do you think?”
“Wh-why?” Shiloh wheezed behind her hand, still struggling not to laugh despite the realization that the dress actually looked good on Nokto. He’d gotten it tailored to his measurements and picked a colour that went well with his skin tone, so he was clearly taking it seriously . . . kinda. Nokto hadn’t passed up the opportunity to be as, well, slutty as possible: the dress was a slinky little number, the neckline was cut as low as physically possible, and there was a slit along his right thigh nearly to the waist, revealing pantyhose of all things! Why was he like this?!
Nokto struck a couple of unnecessarily sexy poses, “Because it’s clear that the only thing cuter than a cat in a dress is a fox in a dress, wouldn’t you say?”
Shiloh had a lot she wanted to say, such as “but you’re not an actual fox” and “then why didn’t you wear a cute dress?”, but none of that mattered more than telling him, “There’s no way this counts.” Nokto just smirked, like he was prepared to debate this all day if he had to, and Shiloh knew, with a dawning sort of horror, that she’d sealed her fate the moment she set up that condition.
Maybe she could still get something out of it if she convinced Nokto to wear a dress to whatever party he wanted to drag her to-at least that would give her something positive to look forward to in the face of her crushing defeat.

AUGUST 2023 WRAP UP
[ loved liked okay no thanks DNF (reread) bookclub*]
Witch Week | A Perilous Undertaking | 2 AM At the Cat's Pajamas | The Last Sun | The Lives of Christopher Chant | The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo* | (The Angel of the Crows) | The Enchanted April | The Art of Prophecy | A Curious Beginning | Q's Legacy | The Grimoire of Grave Fates | Charmed Life | Ocean's Echo | (Band Sinister) | (Unfit to Print) | Camp Damascus | Wanted, A Gentleman | Translation State | The Mistress of Bhatia House
I’m late I’m late I’m late! Oops
It’s only a month late, right? ‘Only’ lol, work has been exhausting! Anyways:
At this point I wonder if Ann Leckie can ever do wrong, Translation State was good! I was completely enthralled, which is all I ask, even if I don’t get as passionate about it as the main trilogy.
I continued the KJ Charles reading, with these supposed stand alones that are also kind of related? Honestly it’s no less of a stretch than Society of Gentlemen to Lilywhite Boys, so I don’t know why she can’t officially list them together. Anyways, mostly fine, and Band Sinister is still a delight!
Camp Damascus…I’m thrilled for Chuck, really, and I think he’s a delight to follow, but this one wasn’t for me. Religious trauma is turning out to be a hard no.
Ocean’s Echo was good! In some ways I definitely thought it was better than Winter’s Orbit - miscommunication is the worst I’m sorry, this story was more consistently engaging! I just like the characters from WO a bit more.
Chrestomanci! I’ve been going by the suggested reading order on Goodreads, and while I wasn’t particularly enthused by Charmed Life, once I had a grasp on the world the other books have been fun! Im very sad this might be my last DWJ, as I seem to have exhausted my library’s collection of her audiobooks :(
Grimoire of Grave Fates had a really interesting premise that lured me in, despite my reservations - an anthology where all the stories work together to solve the mystery of a murder at a magic boarding school? I thought it worked fairly well (and could definitely spin itself out into a series of novels), but just ok for me. Maybe one day I’ll finally concede I can’t read YA or boarding school books anymore.
Q’s Legacy was the last (I think) of the 84 Charing Cross Road books, and honestly the worst. It had its interesting moments, but it lacked the cohesion of the other two, speed,-running the before and during of those stories, to then spend the second half on the adaptations. It was not at all what the descriptions led me to expect. Maybe worth a single read but not a revisit.
I will also be honest, I didn’t really like the first Veronica Speedwell! The plot felt a bit contrived, and Veronica was so blunt as to almost read as rude or mean. Also very unexpectedly…clinically horny? Does that make sense? I’m not quite sure what prompted me to continue, but I’m now several books in and enjoying it! To be blunt myself, the historic setting is just set dressing, the plots can feel contrived, the mysteries are mediocre, but the real draw is the Veronica and Stoker show once they get themselves settled in and comfortable with each other. It’s a hoot.
I’d heard good things about The Art of Prophecy, but I still didn’t know quite what to expect going in. It was wonderful. Maybe a little long, but if you’re looking for a fantastic fantasy with lots of fight sequences, no romance, and some fascinating characters, this is a great read. The sequel comes out soon and I can only hope it doesn’t take as long for my library to get the audiobook as it did for this one.
I don’t know where I first found An Enchanted April, but it’s been on my TBR for a little bit, and I thought it would be the perfect fit for my classics challenge I gave myself this year! It wasn’t what I expected at all - it’s entirely character driven and very focused on their flaws, and the entire first half I thought I was going to hate it. But the second half, there’s a twist, almost, born of some very  naïve optimism that nonetheless works out. Very improbably, but I was happy for them, you funky little weirdos. 
What can I say about The Angel of the Crows except that it is still very good! It’s maybe lost a little of the shine it held when I got obsessed with it for a few months last year, but it is definitely now one of my comfort books. I really ought to read more canon Holmes though lol.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was, to be fair, one of my suggestions for book club. It was OK, but there were definitely parts that really did not work for me, the frame narrative in particular. The other members of the club really liked it but I don’t have any plans to read more of the authors work.
I’m almost tempted to put The Last Sun last just so I can yell more. I’d heard such good things about this series, but turns out my expectations were a bit skewed - it is not historical or secondary fantasy world, oops. So we got off to a bit of a rough start, not to mention all of the Capital Words. Not usually a good sign. And while I still wouldn’t say I love the worldbuilding necessarily, or that these are the next great work of fantasy, the action is really great, and the characters are flipping fantastic. You’ve got a pair of 30 year olds who are bad ass fighters, have a traumatic past, are immature assholes, can be so so kind, and accidentally adopt a posse of troubled teenagers? Sign me up, I love them, this reminds me so much of my days reading tons of Teen Wolf fanfic AUs.
My history with 2 AM At the Cat's Pajamas is that they cannot stop recommending this thing on the Book Riot podcasts. When I found a copy at Goodwill, I thought surely it’s meant to be! Well. It was not bad, but it was not great. I don’t know. It just wasn’t for me and I will not be keeping my copy. I probably should have DNF’d it, but I continued in hope.
Only one actual DNF this month though, The Mistress of Bhatia House - the newest Perveen Mistri book. I was actually fairly excited for it despite my reservations about the earlier books, but I hit a mental roadblock with this one. There was some contrived feeling tension with her sister-in-law, but really, I realized that one of my main problems with this series is that, despite being in a very precarious social position, Perveen is just incredibly reckless - usually in the name of doing good! - but it just hit all the wrong nerves at the moment. I’m hoping there will be a better time to read this, but not right now.

xbc3 off-seer toya sketch
ramblings under cut
!!spoiler warning for all three of the numbered xenoblade games!! mostly the first two actually. i imagine if any reads this, it will be a curious pjsk fan who doesn’t really care about xenoblade, but proceed at your own risk.
i have ideas for all of the pjsk characters i just don’t have the patience to draw them all out.
i wanted all the natural pairs set up by the game to be one agnian/one kevesi so they could be ouroboros. they’re also probably all off-seers or wannabe off-seers because that’s really the only music in aionios.
i’ll at least talk about vbs here.
toya is the off-seer for a kevesi colony. he has a pretty high percentage of high entia blood, so he still has pretty big headwings (compared to others in 3, not pure blood high entia) but they match his hair color. for some reason his dad feels like the type who would have been a high entia blood purist, but toya made it to aionios somehow so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
akito is agnian and would become toya’s ouroboros partner. he’s also an off-seer, but like mio he probably got drafted into the role due to his prowess when he really just wanted to be a great fighter and make it to his homecoming. he’s gormotti and has the cat ears. also face stripes. they might just be a nia thing but i think they’re fun. i imagine you don’t see his core crystal much like taion, but he could have a flesh eater’s core crystal.
if i’m remembering correctly, agnian colonies commonly have two off-seers, so an would be in the same colony as akito. i feel like she definitely has to have the fire hair like sena and brighid. like she’s already got the gradient, it’s perfect. i don’t imagine her having a peculiarly shaped core crystal, but she could have ether lines like sena as well. she probably is more naturally in tune with off-seeing than akito, but he has the edge in combat. they probably has a similar relationship to canon where they poke fun at each other and argue, but they take care of each other when things get rough.
for kohane i think she comes from a different kevesi colony than toya. her colony’s off-seer just died unexpectedly, so kohane took up the mantle as the new off-seer for the colony. maybe toya’s colony is nearby so he helped train her like crys with noah. i know there’s like a kevesi off-seer school/training program but i don’t care. kohane is just a basic homs like noah. an is her ouroboros partner, too
[edit:]
as far as combat stuff, i think kohane is an attacker, an would be an attacker, but in more of a debuff-y way, akito a dodge tank (i picture him similarly to mio), and toya could be a healer.
i think the flutes are customized to the off-seer in game? so everyone gets a custom one + a charm. toya’s charm is a wing but i might change it later. akito’s is a lightning bolt. an’s is a star. not sure about kohane yet either but maybe she’ll just have a ring similar to noah since she’s new to off-seeing.
also thinking toya maybe caught the eye of a consul while in off-seer and was taught violin. i’m not sure if off-seer flutes are made specifically somehow that allows the special motes to rise, but i say toya’s violin is customized and it can raise motes.
maybe the way toya’s dad is worked in is that he’s the consul (tho not literally toya’s bio dad then) that teaches toya violin, and then toya has a whole arc about coming to terms with the fact consuls are bad because he was close to one.
he’s temporarily at kohane’s colony teaching her when the whole ouroboros thing happens.
toya’s instrument could be worked into his blade like glimmer, but i kinda like the idea that it’s an actual instrument not made for battle in anyway. and it means he gets to stand over a battlefield and play a haunting violin melody.

A leche hobbies update:
Update on knitting adventures: almost done with a scarf I started 🤔 dropped stitches everywhere but it really helps with my adhd to have something in my hands to play with while feeling like I’m working towards something! Don’t think I’ll show it off though LMAO, it’s ugly as a scarf but I like it as a “baby’s first scarf” to look back on when I get better. And it’s warm :)!
Other thing: picked up a sewing machine from the good will and still in really great shape and working! Its old and has character and I love it HAH. I’m learning from my abuelita on her own machine. It’d be great to combine this and knitting to make essentials and to repair clothes that really need it.
Drawing/not really a hobby it’s my “Jobby”: sorry for being a lil slow on updates! I got a little bit of burnout and I really want to finish summers commissions so I can clear my schedule more. I’m just about done so I’m no longer chipping on three projects at a time between my full time job oof-but do know they are being worked on. I’ve got adoptables on the way and sketching the next ask-n update! I’ve also been keeping an eye on other places to post like insta and bluesky but I feel like I need to like…observe? Some more? Before committing and learning whole new platforms and posting schedules bleh.
I got other projects in the pipeline, one including a pmd thing, more Paldea headcanons and what not and some certain purple psychic cat things returning. But all in due time! Can’t overwhelm myself : 0
And a little bit of a rant or ramble about perhaps dropping a longtime hobby I’ve had and feeling sad about it beneath the cut ;( but if you’ve read this far thanks! Love ya’ll for supporting me!
I think a handful of you? Know I roleplay on this platform and have for a good seven? Eight? Years. It’s fun, a lot of my ideas and headcanons and art I’m known for were actually jump started by some random thread or idea from between my rp partners and what not. The Mewtwo blog, ask-n, scarlet turo and etc etc were old muses or ideas that turned into their own thing. It’s always been so easy to write and collaborate your ideas with the rp community you’re in and it becomes it’s whole big thing!
But I know it hasn’t always been the healthiest hobby for me after awhile but esp when I want to focus on content creation as a job that I’m really into. I no longer have the time to maintain plots and characters despite being so determined to stick to it. It’s becoming more of a distraction of just scrolling down the rp dashboard out of FOMO more then anything and heck I can’t even see most of it as a lot of events and verses and etc I blacklist to attempt to curb anxiety and distractions which haven’t been working lately 🤔 I still get lots of anxiety.
That and the community’s changed really. I know every old rper has typed their piece on “back in the good old days-“, leaves their blog and doesn’t give any useful advice or attempt to change the narrative lol. I don’t want to do that.
And it’s not the communities fault either. It’s natural for spaces to change to help new ideas and new people come in. It just means maybe it’s no longer meant for me and that’s okay. If anything it’s more how my friends I’ve been with for all my time there have left or are leaving. There’s a disconnect I can’t seem to get over no matter what new muse or idea I promote esp when I’m no longer comfortable in the space I enjoyed for so long. I never had to block so many things before and again not the communities fault and none of the things I’m blocking are unsavory, it’s more like my tastes and likes and dislikes and what I have spoons for have just become different over so long. It’s totally a me thing.
It’s in my mind that maybe it’s okay to let it go since I’m getting so hyped for my newer hobbies and the ideas I have for my art/comics. I don’t have the time anymore to dedicate so much energy on it like I use to esp when even over all my work Im still figuring out my adhd after getting diagnosed officially, new meds, the other mental diagnosis that makes the mental soup in my head alongside other life stuff.
I owe rp in general for helping me get that creative spark and through a lot of tough, long dark times. It’s provided me with the escapism and outlet since like, forever. I started rping in ye old Neopet neomail days and haven’t stopped since besides the occasional period that didn’t last long. Who knows maybe this is just a rut and I’ll feel better tomorrow or next week or something. Could be the change of seasons where my seasonal depression kicks in but I’m not quitting yet but it’s somewhere in the funky mind palace as I navigate this weird patch.
Thanks if you’ve read my ramblings this far! I wish there was a way to reward peeps who read through my long jargon? It just feels good to know I can scream into the void and sometimes I’ll have one or two people nod at me in understanding. Idk, I’ll think of something—

Grilled Cheese Chapter 6.
TW: NON-CON AND NON SEXUAL SPANKING
(September 1st, 1978)
            I huffed, bored out of my mind. Yes, I was still scared of the big, strong, stabby man, (who I just started to call Mask-Man), but I also was locked in the closet for a great majority of the day. If I had to guess, I had been in this closet for maybe five or so hours? Maybe more? All I knew was that when I knocked on the door, asking for at least some food, a slice of cheese was shoved at me. He only let me out today twice to use the restroom. I heard him leave about maybe an hour after locking me in the closet and then come back four hours later through the back door.
            Some point during the day, before he left, I heard Miss Petunia come down the stairs. I don’t know what happened, but it didn’t sound like there was any sounds of pained meows. I did hear her begin to eat food, so thankfully the stoic and silent Mask-Man does have decency to at least feed her.
            “Excuse me? Sir? Mr. Mask-Man-Person? Are you, uh, just planning on keeping me in here forever? You know, I got a job and friends who might be wondering where the hell I am. Also, it’s really boring in here. I counted all the brush-hair-things on the broom in here fifteen times. I’m worried I’ll go crazy, so, can I be let out?”
            As expected, I got no response. I groaned, slumping against the door, sliding down until my butt hit the floor. I began to light bonk my head against the wood. Alright, time to use the annoying-hostage-girl approach.
            “Let me out please.” Bonk.
            “Let me out please.” Bonk.
            “Let me out please.” Bonk.
            “Let me oOF-,” I huffed, falling on my back once he opened the door. I stared up at him, my head between his shoes, him looking down at me. Even though I couldn’t see his face, I hoped he looked annoyed by my successful antics.
            “Mra?” Miss Petunia chirped from Mask-Man’s shoulder, looking down at me curiously. My mouth slightly opened in betrayal at my cat. While I was locked in the dusty old closet, my beloved pet was buddying up and getting all cozy with my captor. The audacity of pets, I swear.
            “Alright. So, are we just gonna have a staring contest, Mask-Man? Am I allowed to come out? If you’re planning on a staring contest, it’s not really fair on my end because you could be blinking and I’d have no way to tell with your mask and all.” Shrugging, I looked up at the man. He just stared at me before walking away, leaving me on the floor.
            Groaning, I sat up, feeling my joints cracking in my back. I hoping he wasn’t planning on locking me in the closet tonight, because that would not be comfortable to sleep in. Speaking of which, where did he sleep last night?
            I turned, jumping as he just stood behind me.
            “How are you so fast and quiet, pal?” I asked. Wordlessly, he thrusted two objects into my chest. It was a notepad and crayons. Did…did he want me to draw or something? Then, Mask-Man pushed me not too gently into the family room, where the TV was on, playing cartoons. He shoved me into a chair before walking over and plopping down on the couch. Miss Petunia mewed softly at him as if the gently chide him before hopping off his should and walking over to me. She laid at the bottom of my chair, her head on my foot, and she began to purr quietly.
            Mask-Man said nothing, only focusing his attention on the animated figures. Honestly, this is not how I would imagine a kidnapping or hostage-taking-thing would go. It could be worse; I could be dead. At least my only reason to be alive is that I make him food.
            I began to absentmindedly draw on the paper, getting lost in my thoughts. I didn’t want to be his cook forever, and eventually someone other than Mr. Steinberg is going to wonder what happened to me and come check on me. Mrs. Gracie most likely will send one of her boys to check on me, like she did when I was sick with the flu and had to take off work. Until then, I have to figure out how to play my cards right and not piss off this guy to the point of killing me. Despite my numerous other escape attempts, I knew I could get out and get help. But how is the question? He’s always there, he’s quieter than an ant, he can kill me probably with one hand, so what would I do-wait. My crayon skid to a stop on the mane of the badass centaur I was drawing
            Does he know I have a gun?
            Earlier, when I thought he was just some kid pulling a mean joke, I did mention it, but I don’t know if he thought I was bluffing or not. I hope he does think I’m bluffing. I could use the gun and force him to let me out, or even kill him. I frowned at that idea. I don’t really like the idea of taking a life, even if he did kill people, but if I must…
            I stood up, stretching my arms, his head turning to me. He began to stand up as well before I sighed.
            “I’m just going to make myself some food, Mask-Man. No need to patrol and act as my guard. I’m not dumb enough to try to escape again,” except that I was, “so just, chill out. I’m just hungry because all you gave me was a slice of cheese.” He paused before slowly sitting back down, his head still pointed at me. Then, he slowly turned his attention back to the screen.
            Taking deep breathes as quietly as I could as I walked kitchen, my eyes zeroed in on the drawer where the pistol was. Casually, I approached the pantry, which was near the drawer, but unfortunately in sight of the family room, meaning Mask-Man could see me. It also just occurred to me that I had no idea how to use a fucking gun. It couldn’t be that hard, right? Just aim and shoot. I mean, I think it was loaded, although I wasn’t sure.
            After pretending to peruse the pantry, I took a deep and shaky breath before yanking open the drawer and grabbing the gun. I gripped it with both hands and pointed it at the man, who now was staring at me, standing up.
            “You know what this is, buddy? It’s a fuckin’ gun. I didn’t wanna do this, but I had no choice. Let me go,” I ordered, trying my best to look intimidating despite the man practically being a giant compared to me. He merely stared at me, before taking a step in my direction, which I yelled at.
            “H-HEY! No! Don’t take any steps towards me, you mask-guy-man. Stay there! I will shoot! Don’t try me!” He proceeded to take several more steps, despite my warnings. When he was within five feet of me, I closed my eyes and aimed the gun at his head.
            “I’m sorry, but I warned you!” I pulled the trigger, wincing and bracing myself for the inevitable fact that I will be staring at a corpse when I opened my eyes.
            Click. My eyes whipped back to the gun, wide. It’s in that moment I realized that it, in fact, wasn’t loaded. Fuck.
            He grabbed the gun and wrenched it out of my hands, throwing it aside, staring down at me.
            “Shit, oh shit, I’m sorry, please don’t kill me, I’m sorry! PLEASE!” I pled, shrieking as he grabbed my hair, no doubt pulling out strands as he dragged me to the living room, my scalp screaming in pain.
            He sat down on the couch, yanking me over his lap, making me lose my breath. He grabbed my jeans and yanked them down along with my panties, exposing my ass to the open. I began to writhe, desperately trying to get off him. He was going to rape me, he was going to fucking rape me-
            I gasped in pain as I felt his big hand come down of my right cheek, the pain bursting out. I didn’t have time to process what he was doing though because he continued to spank my ass, no doubt leaving bruises at a relentless pace. I began to sob around thirty, dangling miserably from his lap.
            My ass felt like it was on fire. He didn’t stick to a pattern, he just spanked. I never had felt so humiliated in my life.
            By the time he was done, I was a sobbing mess. Snot was dribbling slowly out my nose onto the carpet below, tears also staining the carpet.
            I choked on air when he cruelly gripped my left cheek, digging his nails into the skin. I just let him, feeling defeated. I didn’t know how to react. I was just grateful he was done.
            He shoved me off his lap and onto the carpet. I yelped, before continuing to sob, my rear exposed to the air still.
He just ignored me, as he normally did.
~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪~🔪
ye, sorry if you aren't normally a crier, (y/n) got a bit of a traumatic experience. I was basing her reaction off what I would do in this situation, and I would just fuckin sob and feel weak. MERRY CHRISTMAS/HAPPY HANUKAH/ HAPPY WHATEVER YOU CELEBRATE!!!! See ya, my fellow slasher sluts.

MC Has Allergies/Physical Intolerances But Is Chill About It
This one came to me while reading this cute post by @obeymefictionwriting  about the brothers from Obey Me! reacting to an MC with allergies to cats.
Because, I love cats, but I'm also very allergic to them.
So this MC would be one who maybe has allergies that aren't immediately life-threatening, but will cause significant discomfort and possibly hives if the contact with the allergen isn't contained and washed and meds taken.
I often find that I’m not strong enough to resist the allure of a cute kitty. If I find myself in a house with a cat, I won’t go out of my way to touch the cat, but if the cat comes to me... I’ll shower the little kitty with love and affection, and pets and just warmly gush about the kitty
And then I'll promptly get up once I've had my fill and look to the nearest person and announce "I must go wash myself and change my clothes, because I'm very allergic to cats." and the amount of times I've had people yell at me is a little funny.
I always take my allergy meds in anticipation that friends have pets, and bring extras in case my allergies are more intense than I anticipate, so I'm never in danger, but it does sometimes freak people out who don't know how to handle people with allergies that aren't life-threatening.
Would work for animal allergies - MC cuddles and loves on the animals and then lets the room know about their allergy. Could also work for substance allergies (MC is allergic to latex, so they go to touch a foam weapon prop used for LARPing which has latex paint, and is gushing about it and then promptly is like "I gotta wash my hands and change my clothes because the latex is starting to make my lungs hurt, but that was awesome!" and chaos ensues. (I have asthma, so when my allergies kick in, my lungs like to be dramatic. It hurts, but it’s not an actual physical danger symptom for me specifically.)
Could also have intolerances that their body struggles with which they know is gonna hurt them, but they love those things too much to not partake. Like an MC who loves apple juice but is intolerant to it and will down a whole bottle and turn to the person next to them like "Man, that was awesome. It's gonna suck in an hour when the pain kicks in."
I just love the idea of an MC who is a little unhinged in funny ways, not entirely on purpose, freaking out everyone around them.
Friendly characters shouting their name like "MC- WHAT THE FUCK" as they panic and either dote on them while panicking and almost crying, or like, hoisting them up over their shoulder to carry MC to 'safety' (aka; A more responsible character LMFAO)
Responsible characters staring at them with great concern, trying to figure out what to do because they didn't expect MC to be so unhinged today.
Wild characters delighting because that's hilarious. Saying things like "MC, why-" and "MC, are you gonna like, die now? Was that how you wanted to go out?" amidst laughs.
Grouchy characters taken aback and shocked because "Wait MC you're not supposed to be THAT big of a dumbass, what the fuck-" and "Why would you pick it up if you knew it was dangerous you freak"
Shy/anti-social characters panicking because they were the one that introduced the allergen to MC. Exasperated "MC why didn't you tell me-"s as they try to help MC handle the allergy situation.
Dramatic characters being over-the-top dramatic that MC's gonna die, which in turn freaks out the Pure-Of-Heart/Dumb-Of-Ass characters and you just get a moment of everyone really showing how they handle operating under pressure.
All the while MC's like "Nah nah it's fine, I just gotta wash up and change my clothes, it's fiiine" --- Another unhinged concept is like, that post where the person ate peanut butter and popped an epi-pen and was like “Please get me to the hospital” “Why did you do that” “I wanted to know what it’d taste like”
---
Another option for a fun dynamic to draw from is like when I interact with stuff I'm allergic to completely by accident.
"Wait, does this comforter have feathers in it?"
".. Yeah"
"Ooh, I'm very allergic. Can already feel my lungs being pissed about that."
"Oh my god I'm so sorry, I had no idea-"
"Nah it's cool. It's very soft."
"We gotta get you a different blanket!!"
"That'd be nice."
"Oh my god I've killed you how can you be allergic to feathers they're so soft"
"They really are, it's a shame." MC gently cuddling into the blanket still.
"Stop cuddling into the blanket and get to safety"
"But I'm comfy"
MC just accepting that they've already come into contact with the allergen and they're not in immediate danger, so they might as well enjoy it. Characters panicking because aren’t allergies life-threatening?
---
And if we did want some life-threatening drama, there's inspiration from the times where I've had really big allergy incidents and I've had to stay awake for a few hours to make sure my hives aren't about to kill me in my sleep. MC just walking into a room and sitting down. It's really late at night. The characters are like "What's goin' on MC? Why're you awake so late?"
"Gotta make sure I'm not gonna die in my sleep."
"Excuse me what"
"Yeah, if the hives don't hit my throat by the time they've stopped spreading, then I'm fine, but if it does, someone's gotta take me to the hospital because my airways will close up soon after."
"WHAT"
Extra points if MC's a human and the characters around them aren't human and they've got no fucking clue how to handle this and it makes them panic for more reasons than one.
MC's just more annoyed than anything because of the lack of sleep. Like, sure, their life hangs in the balance or whatever, but they wanted to get in their 8 hours.

I shall try undetale then! 🤩 I really love games with good story, so that makes me excited to play !
Crocheting sounds like such a relaxing hobby! You’ll have to show me some of your things you’ve made, I love seeing people’s work like that! Especially the Totoro if you have pics!! I bet it’s really freaking cute 🥹
I don’t really have hobbies like that anymore. I used to draw and paint, but now I feel like I’m so busy all the time between work and family life that I can’t find a moment to really sit down. One thing I really liked doing was making a stamp collage. It was just pasting stamps on a big canvas, but it was so relaxing and the end result is actually really cool ! If I could send pics on here I’d show you 😂 I’ll reblog this ask or something with pics maybe.
My favorite anime character is Chifuyu Matsuno from TokRev! He’s very sweet and wholesome, even if he is in a gang lol. He’s a big animal lover and has a really cute pet black cat. I work at a non profit animal rescue org and I’m a sucker for black cats, so anytime I see an animal softie with one, I’m already smitten 🥰
Yor is such a good character! I really like how badass she is. I feel like some shows don’t write women characters tbh at great, but I really like how Yor is. And I think she’s very pretty! Loid is so lucky, even if it is a front for a family. I want them to end up together for real 😭
You'll have to let me know what you think when you get it!!
Yess, let me see if I can upload some
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ta daa
The last one is Cthulhu in a top hat :D
Ohh, that sounds really cool! I'd love to see pictures! I totally understand not having time, I havent been doing it as much while I was doing college and working, but now that it's summer I'm hoping to do more.
Oooo I do love black cats. Maybe I'll have to check it out! Yess she's so good, they'd be so good together

Let’s Talk Whump No.7
Welcome to Let’s Talk Whump, a series of interviews that spotlight the amazing people in our whump community. I’m Malice and I’ll be your host. 
Today we have @kira-the-whump-enthusiast joining us to share his whump story!
Tell us something non-whump related about yourself!
Hi I'm Kira! I'm just a guy on the internet who has something wrong with him (affectionate). Outside of whump I do a lot of regular OC stuff! Though, it always ends up angsty. I draw a shit ton, I watch video essays, and I pet my cat. He's adorable and amazing, by the way!
What does whump mean to you?
God, I don’t know man. It's when the character gets hurt and it makes me smile, I guess. For me it usually ends up being brutal torture of the physical or mental kind!
How did you discover the whump community? 
So I found the whump-culture-is blog, and I kinda skirted around the whole idea cuz I wasn't super comfortable with it yet. And then I stumbled upon Hazeshift by @whumpwillow!!! That was the story that got me into whump, it clicked a switch somewhere in my brain. And from there I started following more whump blogs, creating some OCs to whump, and eventually made a blog! Now I’m here.
It seems to be a common thread that everyone has a specific whump story that just clicked! Have you found that your whump tastes have changed over time?
I think my favorite tropes have largely stayed the same, same as my hard preference for OC over fandom. But I've gotten way more into making whumpy art lately! It's mostly on my art blog @kira-does-art-sometimes So, I haven't exactly been writing. I am still doing some though,  I'm just really bad at finishing it.
And your favourite whump tropes?
May the devil bless my soul, I am not mentally normal about any of this. 
First of all I am an avid whumper-turned-whumpee and villain whump fan. This is the Main Trope I enjoy because it is just so good. Look man, I just need to see the somewhat sympathetic (or not) bad guys get whumped and then maybe get a hug afterwards because even if they did bad shit before, they still don't exactly deserve bad things to happen to them? I dunno know, it's a bit soothing. Also god, there are so many good dynamics you would have. Reluctant caretakers, righteous whumpers, whumpees-turned-whumpers,,,, god, I am insane for this. Also the angst potential is ridiculous and I love it. 
I am also a fan of sicko shit like cannibalism and gore and vivisection. Like yes, cut that guy open and eat his organs. I will never not be normal about cannibalism and also I believe it is completely ethical if it's fully consensual. Anyways, fucked-up cannibalism is very good too. I need the people to eat each other. I need blood dripping from mouths and staining smiles. I need the faux-intimacy of feasting on another. Vivisection is also great for similar reasons. It is very Intense and Torture and I think it's fun!! You can also eat the whumpee's organs. Food for thought, pun intended! 
Glasgow smiles!I love those. I need to give more of my whumpees those. I just think it's neat and it's an alternative gag. You can't exactly talk without pain when your face has been slit open.
Immortal whump is the best. Because you can just do anything, really stretch a guy past their limits and then do it again!!! The fun never ends because they can't die, at least not permanently. Killing an immortal is underrated. And I don't mean permanently. I mean like bringing them back, again and again, and continuing the murder! Is that not fun?! 
Isolation in whump is very underrated. Solitary confinement is a form of torture after all. I think there's something very resonant for me about the simple. Lack of anything to the point that it drives you insane. The only thing making you like this are the walls cutting you off from the world. How do you explain that to people? I also like other fucked up forms of isolation like when the whumpee pretty much only interacts with the whumper or people on their side. The way that it can fuck them up is very intriguing to explore in writing I think. 
I realize this is somewhat sicko behavior. I have decided to not apologize for this. Also if the FBI is reading this, I um. I have little to no desire to do this in real life okay don't arrest me.
I think we’re all screwed if the FBI ever decides to look our way…I look forward to sharing a cell with you all! Do  you have a favourite piece you've written? 
I guess I'd definitely have to say Spirals and Solitaire is one of my better pieces!! Look. I just needed to write about a woman with depression. That's my favorite type of character. It combines a lot of my favorite tropes. A villain with angst for days being trapped in a room and slowly, slowly, going fucking insane. Getting way too attached to the only person that talks to them. And a bystander who doesn't help until it's too late. But better late than never hey? 
Also I am still a fan of Midnight Meal which is really surprising since it's like almost a year old I think? I think it holds up! I just like the cannibalism. And the gore. And I have gotten the best comments on it. Thank you to the nice people who left comments on it! Definitely my most sicko piece out of all my writing. Isaac's my favorite whumpee and this is not even the worst thing that happens to him, by the way. 
I also have this single series, Diamonds to Dust that I have definitely updated recently. I may or may not actually start writing the seventh chapter. I apologize for the radio silence on this lol. Storm and Zuri and Xavier are my beloveds. Also Lusik and Octavia are fucked up lesbians but I haven't gotten into that yet. My favourite toxic ship!
What's your writing routine like? Is there a must have drink or snack? 
My writing schedule fucking insane to be honest. Kinda goes like: 
- At a random point in time I get an idea. 
- I ruminate on the idea for an extended period of time. From like a week to a year. Average is prolly a couple months. 
- After the rumination I finally get some words on the goddamn paper! I write in fucking simplenote cuz I can access it on all my devices. 
- The words never get finished on the first day. From then it is three days to two months until I continue the goddamn thing. Or I just don't. Sometimes that happens. 
- And then the editing. Oh god. The editing. Suffice to say I hate it, I hate it, I hate it but it's necessary so I do it. Actually this takes like two weeks max cuz again. Hate it to shreds. I send it to my lovely whump friends for beta reading. I love yall!
- And then post. God help me when I do that. 
This is why I never post anything sorry about that. 
Usually I write in my very comfy bed in the evening. I don't really munch on snacks or drinks when I write.
Is there anything specific that you find easy to write?
I find that it's pretty easy for me to write characters with depression. When the character is just angsting and going through the emotional ringer, it's pretty easy for me to write stuff. Honestly that's probably how I got Spirals and Solitude finished so quickly. It's literally just like three thousand words of Wrenna having depression. I really struggle with writing like pure fluff. I dunno know,  I just find it hard to create a good conflict when it's so lighthearted.
And  do you have any current projects?
I have like a couple WIPs who are not finished yet. I may finish and post them one day. I am also always drawing. Probably of my OCs or fan art of my friend's OCs!
Bless us with some writing advice please!
You ask me??? For writing advice. Uhhhh I dunno man. Just get a little silly with it. Being Quality is overrated. Someone's probably gonna read it and get something out of it even if it's just like seven words in comic sans or whatever. Or maybe you are the one who reads it and gets something out of it! Self deprecation is overrated too. Your writing is probably fine. It is probably even good. Likely, it is even great and amazing! 
Shoutouts?
Huge shout out to @whump-in-the-closet for being extremely cool and having the best OCs and writing. And also listening to my little sicko OC rants!
@whumpcloud has literally some of the best whump stories I've ever read like god! I go feral for their characters. 
@zillastar13 has extremely amazing writing and very good taste. Love their art!
Anything you'd like to add? <3
Lowkey I think we as a community need more transgender characters. In any role. I just need to see more guys who are transgender. Who get a little funky with their gender. Who maybe even have their transsexuality impact the story in some way. Same for like, characters of color and female characters. I'd love to see whumpees with lots of different backstories and female characters in lots of different roles in the narrative. I personally don't think that the violence that women and minorities face in real life necessarily has to be analogous to the violence faced by a character in a story. I know it can go very badly but it can get a little tiring sometimes to only find stories with cis white male characters. Variety pls.
It was awesome to have you here, Kira! Thanks for stopping by!
And to all you folks at home, have a whump-derful day!

Silly doodle of the peepaw for @sonic-oc-showdown ! plus the oc questions thing under the read more :3
Name: Ignatius
Species: Domestic Cat
Home: He travels wherever the wind takes him!
✨ How did you come up with the OC’s name?
I think I just looked up like, old people names LOL I don’t remember for sure tho.
🧑‍🦳 How old are they?
He’s in his 60s!
💞 Do they have any love interests?
Ehh not anyone specifically! Might make him a husband eventually.
🥞 What is their favorite food?
Hmmm... Probably belgian waffles with far too many toppings.
💼 What do they do for a living?
He’s a freelance detective! Sort of. He’s supposed to be retired but it’s hard to keep him in place.
🏐 Do they have any hobbies?
He loves anything to do with puzzles! Puzzle games, actual puzzles, escape rooms, murder mystery media... He also enjoys beach sports like volleyball but it’s a bit hard on his body now. He also likes to bake and mix drinks. He’s a jack of all trades honestly, he’s quite restless.
🎯 What do they do best?
Solving mysteries of course! He’s also a pretty darn good cook, if you’ll allow him to toot his own horn.
🥊 What do they love? What do they hate?
His one true love is puzzles, if it’s not clear enough yet! He also loves the beach and relaxing in the sun! He dislikes dreary weather, feels it makes him far too serious and stern! He’s also not one for stuffy museums, he’d much rather be learning from communities themselves! He’s a very knowledge focused guy but enjoys the experience of learning from enthusiastic people rather than textbooks. He really enjoys watching older shows too! MASH and ST:TOS being among his favorites. Imagine those in the Sonic universe however you please LOL
📸 What is one of your OC’s best memories?
Hmm... really, he savors the feeling of helping people! Each and every person he’s helped is slotted into his brain like a polaroid!
✂️ What is one of your OC’s worst memories?
Yeesh, he’s too old to dwell on these things! If he kept track of every failed case and the homophobia and ableism he’s had tossed his way in life he’d have no time for the things he enjoys!
🏚️ Is their current design their first one?
Sure is! I tend to stick with designs once I make them. Little changes may happen here and there to make them easier for me to draw but typically, my designs stay the same! His fur pattern might be choppy or smooth depending on the amount of time I want to put into drawing it though LOL
🧠 What originally inspired this OC?
Sara was drawing Sonic OCs and I hadn’t ever really put the time into making one. So I sat down, grabbed a pelt pattern I liked, and took a LOT from Benoit Blanc from Knives Out. Someone in the tags of his poll said he’s got Columbo energy but I haven’t actually watched it so I can’t say for sure whether he carries those traits or not. My favorite color is purple so it tends to sneak into my designs. I made him about a month before the Sonic Murder Mystery game hilariously enough.
🎬 What genre do they belong in?
Mystery of course! Maybe comedy/mystery?
🏳️‍🌈 What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?
Gay for sure, trans maybe? I haven’t decided for sure and I don’t think he’s the type to really care too much for labels for himself. He uses He/Him mostly but won’t go out of his way to correct people.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 How many siblings does your OC have?
I haven’t really thought about it honestly. I’ll probably give him a sister. Feels right.
🧑‍🍼 What is the OC’s relations w/their parents like?
Not great. He was outed in his late teens and they. Did not react well. He already had a rough time from his undiagnosed autism and it never really got better. He’d liked to have improved things with them but he just... never really got around to it.
💜 What do you like most about the OC?
I just think he’s a silly guy :) I am pretty happy with his design too! I’m quite proud of how my skills have improved in that aspect.
🖍️ How often do you draw/write about the OC?
This is honestly the most I’ve done since making him LOL I work a full time job and my brain is more focused on Warriors atm tbh
🔪 Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?
Oh absolutely not. I’m the type of guy who makes ocs for fun and to push them together like dolls! Maybe if I made him as a teen things would be different.
💀 Does your OC have any phobias?
Sort of? He’s got a lot of mental things going on about germs. Washes his hands a LOT and is very aware of just how much others don’t. Maybe snakes too since he’s a cat.
❤️‍🔥 Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?
His own mind if truly his greatest enemy tbh. Turns out that constantly being on alert for clues can make you a little paranoid.
⏱️ How long have you had the OC?
According to discord, since January 17th, 2023!

Best SAO Abridged Lines As RP Starters Pt.3
“Sheeptar the Sheep King, your reign is at an end.”
“If that thing hadn’t already killed seven of us, I’d say this was a really stupid boss.”
“Whoa whoa whoa, we can’t just go around sacrificing NPCs! Some of my best friends have been NPCs!”
“That makes way too much sense.”
“Choke on it! Choke on my vengeance! How does it taste?!”
“Yeeeah. You know what? Maybe he has a point. This is super uncomfortable.”
“Sooooo… how’s your day goin’? You’re looking pretty relaxed there, buddy.”
“This grass feels amazing.”
“I suspect that wasn’t a real question–”
“It was great! You should’ve been there! He was climbing the walls, spitting acid…”
“We’re still talking about a sheep, right? Not like a… fluffy Xenomorph?”
“Its a really stupid boss!”
“Apparently not that stupid if it killed seven of you.”
“…twelve now, actually…”
“I mean, you survived, so hey. Silver lining.”
“Okay, what the hell is wrong with you? You’re way too… mellow.”
“Well, I had some time to kill before the raid, so I figured I’d power level my alchemy a bit  by eating some weird plants, and now everything’s…. just… great…”
“Look, okay? I get it. You had a really bad day. You’re stressed out, seven people died…”
“TWELVE PEOPLE.”
“Not the point. Look, they’re dead now. And really? Whose fault is that? That’s right. No one’s. So why don’t you lie down, relax, and watch the stars with me?”
“Its two in the afternoon! There are no stars!”
“Only if you’re looking with your eyes.”
“You’d better come down soon so I can kick your teeth in…”
“Huh… those dudebros make an interesting point.”
“I mean… as a man, there’s really only one option here.”
“I drew cat whiskers on you because I thought it would be funny, and it was!”
“Vhew eh pfftff Well… tff I… I dfff I-I mean… jju uu You know…! jj–… You- you could’ve… like… tjj ahu…”
“Yeah, remind me to draw on your face more often. I’ll eat like a king. Or at least a very wealthy janitor.”
“This coming from the guy who ate random plants off the ground?”
“Oh really? Well who’s dumber? Me, or the one who takes a nap next to some crazed drug fiend?”
“Need I remind you that YOU were that crazed drug fiend?”
“I can’t be held responsible for stoned _______. That guy’s an idiot.”
“Oh, looks like we are out of time! We’ll have to continue this next week, but in the meantime, please enjoy these lovely consolation prizes from the ________ Is Always Right Foundation.”
“Oh my god, you’re insufferable.”
“Huh… look. A human pinata.”
“He’s dying!”
“Uh… correction: he’s suffering. Probably hurts like a bitch, but he’s not gonna die.”
“Hey man! When you pop, could you try to send the candy over this way?!”
“I’m gonna go cut him down, you jackass.”
“Hey, anyone got like a thirty foot stick? I wanna take a crack at this thing.”
“So did anyone see where the candy went, or…?”
“For christ’s sake, a man just died!”
“Ah, yesss… but that just raises an even bigger question. Why do you care?!”
“I’m sorry, are you asking me why I care that a man was killed?”
“No, I’m asking why YOU care that a man was killed!”
“Welll… let’s see… most people would - charitably - refer to you as the crown prince of douchebags, long may he reign.”
“Your usual reaction to human suffering is to pull up a chair and crack out the popcorn! What’s your angle?!”
“I am shocked and appalled that that is your opinion of me!”
“Starts with an A---… right, Y. Starts with a Y. I mean its close, they’re basically neighbors, you can understand my mistake.”
“Its uh… Yo… Yo… Yo… Ya… Yoooooga pants?”
“Oh, spare me, Wonder Woman. You’re only doing this to prove I was wrong.”
“Hey! At least I PRETEND to be nice to people!”
“Yeah, whatever, uh—wait, ‘pretend’?”
“Well if its not my least favorite customer.”
“Aw, you just say that because I’m not dumb enough to buy any of your crap.”
“Yeah, well if there’s one upside to being trapped with these idiots, its that they’ll buy pretty much anything.”
“What’s the matter with you?! Why would you bring her here?! I thought we were friends!”
“What is up in dis… hizouse?”
“There’s just so much beauty in the world, you know?!”
“So dat’s da sitch. Think ya can scope da deets on dis gat for us, homey?”
“Um, but I’m da one dat asked you.”
“Why you ignoring me bro? You got cotton in your ears?”
“OH GOD! I-I didn’t mean it like that!”
“Grand Wizard _______ here’s not what you’d call a ‘people person’.”
“Um, excuse me?! Mr. Kettle? Mr. Pot called. He said you’re black!”
“What? Its a turn of phrase. It has nothing to do with race.”
“Okay, now you see dat? DAT was racist.”
“Well CLEARLY, I’m stabbing myself with this sword to see if it kills me– Oh god, what AM I doing?”
“Ah… handing the black man a murder weapon. Tale as old as time.”
“Do you really hate this place that much, or do you just love the sound of your own voice?”
“Its my gift to the world.”
“Hate to break it to you sweetie, but the world wants a gift receipt.”
“No refunds or exchanges. Only store credit.”
“Shhhhh. The grown-ups are talking.”
“Really? Then show me the body.”
“There is no body!”
“You can’t prove that he’s dead. Let me give this poor girl some hope.”
“Oh, don’t even PRETEND that’s what you’re doing!”
“________, why would ________ have wanted to make sweet love to your friend’s chest with the business end of a broadsword?”
“Meh, I’ve killed for less.”
“I knew it! They’re finally coming for me! It was only a matter of time! The walls are closing in!”
“Ever since he got trapped in here, he’s been terrified that his more… 'verbose’ commenters are going to make good on their threats.”
“I used to laugh at their comments! You hear me?! LAUGH! But now?! What if they actually DO chop off my limbs, rip out my intestines, and ride me like some sort of meat toboggan?!”
“You hear that? 'Meat Toboggan’. Try getting THAT image out of your head. Grippin’ his entrails like the reins of Santa’s sleigh. Streaking through the fresh morning snow on a trail of bile and gore, as his eyes beg the same question as the horrified children in his wake. 'Why…?’ ”
“This… may have been a mistake.”
“I disagree. I think you’ve got a real flair for this.”
“Did I say 'reason’? Sorry, I meant the screaming monkeys that live in her brain.”
“I don’t know about you, but I have a duty to my fans to survive this! …I mean, to the ones who AREN’T threatening to use my spine as a pitching wedge.”
“I think we can safely assume a ghost is not the culprit here!”
“Of course not. Obviously it was a Hit by the Mermaid Mafia paid in Leprechaun gold! But who was the puppet master? The Unicorns? No… they’ve had a feud going with the Mermaids for years.”
“Damn it, this is serious!”
“Weeellllll… I’m not a doctor… but I don’t like her chances.”
"Ah! Ah! Ow! Ah! Ugh! Ah.... aaaugh..."
"Really? I figured some random perp would be no match for the world's greatest detective. Oh-ho wait, no... THAT'S BATMAN. And you're not Batman, are you? You will NEVER be Batman."
"That, uh... cut surprisingly deep. Well played."
"I can't believe you just left me with that guy!"
"Really? What part of that was out of character for me?"
"If you say '_______', I'm going to stab you in the eye."
"So anyway, I think we should go over what we know so far."
"Why? I figured the whole thing out hours ago."
"My sandwich! It was innocent...!"
"SHHH! I must grieve."
"What do you want?! Scalps?! I can get you scalps!"
"Oh, I see. You're an orphan blood man! Do you prefer your victims pre-drained, or do you like to get your hands dirty?"
"Oh, so you like them crucified! Well, that'll be a bit trickier, but I'm sure I can work something out!"
"...so, where are we on the whole orphan blood thing? We talking heads or liters?"
"For the love of-- We're not ghosts! We faked our deaths!"
"Seriously, ________? How many people would you have killed if we'd asked you to?"
"Thaaaaat's... not important."
"I DISAGREE."
"And Samson said, 'With an asses jawbone, I have made asses of them. With an asses jawbone, I have killed a thousand men.'"
"No no! You sighed! That's not nothing!"
"Boss... I get what you're going for. Bible quoting serial killer... its a great motif. Classic. But... its a big book. They're not all gonna be gems."
"Okay, bigshot! Name one verse that's scarier than that."
"Oh, I don't know. How about 'no flesh shall be spared'? Mark 13:20?"
"Holy shit! That's in the Bible...?"
"Have... you ever actually READ the Bible?"
"Look, we're getting off-track. I'm the guild leader, and I say my verse was better."
"Don't you think the whole 'Jesus tells me to kill' thing is... holding us back? Plus... you're not even all that good at it."
"How DARE you! The J-man's teachings inform everything I do!"
"That's not even a word! Much less--- ugh. Forget it. Let's just kill these guys and go."
"Stupid horse! That entrance was almost perfect!"
"Don't patronize me, Yoga Pants!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible, officer. The Lord has ordered these sinners dead, in the form of a guy who pays fifty bucks..."
"Fifty bucks? Selling yourselves a bit cheap, don't'cha think? You guys provide an essential, in-demand service, and you're DEFINITELY the leaders in your field. I mean, you GOTTA cash in on that name recognition."
"THAT'S WHAT I KEEP TELLING HIM.”
“The high-paying clients won't touch us. They take ONE LOOK at Reverend Killjoy over here, and think we're a bunch of crazy people!"
"You could reach a much wider demo if you just tone down the religious theme."
"What you guys need is a total rebranding. Ad campaign! PR blast! Get your faces out there! Let people know you're not just about the fire and brimstone! You are multifaceted, three-dimensional killing machines, and you have got a little something for everyone, because contract killing... is a beat we can all dance to."
"As payment, the lives of these sinners are now yours to command."
"Thanks! Jesus told me to say it."
"Huh... so I own you guys now. That's cool."
"Serves one per conspirator, may contain trace amounts of 'caaaaalllled iiiiit'."
"How did you realize I was lying?"
"Ah, well, that part was quite simple. You see: I'm not an idiot."
"Yeah, that'd do it."
"Of course... I do have some evidence. If you're into that sort of thing."
"My first thought was ___________. My second thought was 'Oh shit, window.' And with that, much like that window, the cracks in your facade started to form."
"As if anyone would let that moron in on a conspiracy. A friggin' landmine deals with pressure better than him, and would kill fewer people."
"You seem to have put a lot of thought into this..."
"Well, someone had to."
"BUT. This whole thing still leaves me with one question... WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
"Oh, right. Totally forgot. I should probably mention that he didn't do it."
"What? I just thought you guys might like to know. You seemed pretty interested in the subject."
"Well, I'm sorry. SHOCKINGLY, he wasn't very COOPERATIVE."
"How big is this web?! You're catching school buses in this thing!"
"Hey! We just gift-wrapped your friend's killer for you! You maybe wanna react here?"
"Ah! A valid point! But tell me. Do you think ______ would've trusted a stranger to do the job? Well then, you must think _______ was skilled enough to kill _______ one-on-one. Or perhaps smart enough to catch her unawares?"
"Oh my god, _______'s not the killer."
"Hey, people threatened to kill me for giving Pokemon: V&R a seven out of ten! At this point, I've learned to just assume the position."
"Hold it, I've got something I've been holding in for a while... That hat makes you look like a HIPSTER!"
"What? No! Bullshit! I had to go to a dark place to pull out that masterpiece! It was full of emotions that scare and confuse me. Now come on, get up! We're doing this again! And this time, you're not gonna fold just cause that hat makes you look like John Lennon joined the mafia!"
"See? There's no challenge in it! Verbal abuse, man. Its a lost art."
"You guys were the best slaves a boy could have."
"Fuck it! I tried! You all saw it!"
"We're gonna make sure you get the help you need, buddy. Behind this tree."
"Look, if this is about me being right about everything, I forgive you, okay?"
"Damn it, I'm trying to be nice and have a moment here, which isn't easy with SOME people being so LOUD!"
"Wait-- nononoNONONO---"

PART ONE OF A LOT OF PARTS!
Also I’m still new to drawing animals so I know it doesn’t look great but hey I’m proud of it-
This is a really cute AU idea me and @marrondrawsalot came up with- Grims family of Hell cats finds him, and decide to stay at NRC with their long lost family and new human kitten.
Grims mom and her sisters are hell cats that each represent the types of magic in game!
First up is the oldest- his Aunt Sage- based on a sphinx cat she can control water. She and her kittens made a second home in Octanvile. Who doesn’t love free pets and snack? Azul saw a business  opportunity ofc but hey Sage gets a side hustle and free childcare since the tweels love to play with her herd of kittens underwater- she taught them a spell that lets them breathe underwater- basicly their first breath bubble gets big and that lets them swim underwater!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yuu gets them pool rings, foam noodles and all kinds of toys for the kittens and tweels to play with in the tank
Also if she was human this is what she would look like
Tumblr media
She’s the oldest and a widow. She might not be the best at expressing her emotions and feeling but she loves her family deeply and sees her nieces and nephews as if they were her own babies respects miss Yuu/ Yuu for being magicless and surviving in a world of magic.
Next is Grims mama- Ember, she and well… grim are based off Russian blue cats
Tumblr media
She and her mate whose name I haven’t come up with yet are very much still in love ( think mufasa and sarabi) both wield fire magic and live their kittens deeply.
Tumblr media
Also fun fact Grim is the middle child- he has an older brother, ash, an older sister Spark, him, triplet brother born two years after him, Cider, Koal, and Haco. The triplets want to be good henchmen to their big brothers henchman so grim thinks they’re trying to steal Yuu away
Tumblr media
He also has a toddler age baby sister later lovingly named Princess by Vil, and six baby siblings almost a year old, and one baby sibling born shortly after they’re all reunited…
Ember loves and adore miss Yuu- and yes shes big enough to ride- which she happily lets her do. Not that she’d admit it but all of the first years are her babies now- Ace and starts some shit? Boinks him on the head and drags him away by his collar, then does the cat thing where she lays on him as she falls asleep- someone makes fun of epel- she shows them what a full grown he’ll cats fire is like- Ember and her mate love you and can’t thank them enough for caring for their kitten. The least they can do in return is welcome a slightly less fury member into the pact-
Also Idia is a guilty kitten stealer- they all love him and demanded attention from him. Doesn’t usually make it further then the gate before one of the mamas drags him back by his hoodie with all the kittens enjoying the chaos. Idia isn’t complaint, this is dream come true to be picked up by a big cat! To be suffocated under a million little kitties?!?
Tumblr media
Idia and Yuu are guilty of poking the kittens lil potbellies since they sleep on their backs and are so cute and the sweetest little faces- the kittens are to deep in sleep to care but it adds an infinate boost to all of Idia’s stats that he needs to do it at least once a day now to function
Also this is Ember if she was human-
Tumblr media
I’ll add some more pics of Grim and his siblings in the next part!
OH @marrondrawsalot showed me a bit of this a little while ago! It's so cute! I love expanding on the lore of characters like Grim whose background is left to be a mystery and thus you can kind of do whatever you want.
I assume Azul business is to have Mostro Lounge essentially be an aquatic cat cafe. lol Maybe have a kiddy pool somewhere for you to pet the kittens like those tanks at aquariums or something.
I also love the concpet of Grims mom adopting everyone. It makes me think of those stories of mama cats immediately taking kittens that have been abandoned because the instinct is strong so they become a surrogate. Idk if that was your train of thought but that's where my mind goes. I think I also mentioned this to Marrondrawsalot, but the big fire monster cat thing reminds me of Kirara from Inuyasha.
