i feel like the idea of seasoning food is doing some weird backwards thing because I've seen a couple times people coming for dishes like hainanese chicken rice because it looks bland and soggy w ppl not understanding like the way its made....
like the point of this was to decolonize the way you view food but now it's circling to ethnic food is only acceptable if it fits the palatable way its supposed to look

Faz-Pocket Shenanigans
“Aaaaand… That should do it! Alright Sun and Moon, your upgrades are done!” A Parts and Service technician told them.” Why don’t you try out some of the features here while you’re off duty?”
Sun and Moon sat up from the bench and began scrolling through their emotion settings. The two of them had been given a whole bodily system remodeling that’s required for all animatronics in the Pizzaplex. It had been quite some time since either of them had received any kind of upgrade after their initial separation. With Moon’s virus causing many concerns about the wellbeing of the daycare attendees, the staff felt it was safest if the two were separated into two bodies, that way, any defects could be identified and treated easier. Sun and Moon stepped over to a nearby mirror to take a look at some of their more obvious changes.
“Ho ho hooo boy, this is so exciting, my face looks so expressive! There’s so many options and colors, I can’t wait to see what else is new!” Sun squealed, looking at himself in the top part of the mirror.
“Hrmm, I guess I do look a bit more handsome with this upgrade.” Moon smirked, rubbing his chin in the bottom part of the mirror.
“Yup, you both have been given a new face lift! Your pupils can change colors and size, as well as display some emotes and symbols to help you better communicate with kids who may not be very expressive or nonverbal. Sun, your face rays have changed to a more softer material of silicone that can bend and flex so the kids will be safer touching them. Moon, you’ve been given a softer chest plate material, that way the kids will stay comfortable should they choose to lie on you during naptime. You also have some new body upgrades, give the temperature gauge a shot!” they explained.
“...Whoa, we can heat up!? The kids’ll love this!” Sun giggled, noticing their chest had become warm to the touch.
‘This could be useful for colder nights at naptime.’ Moon thought to himself, adjusting the temperature to various settings.
“Great, you’re working perfectly! Your fingertips also have this temperature feature, that way you can warm up baby bottles to a proper temp for the babies we may get.” The technician informed them. “Any questions you have so far?”
“Are there any more new features we haven’t tried yet?” Sun asked. “I want to-” before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the sound of low gears grinding in his midriff. “What the?”
“What was that, Sun?” Moon wondered. “You’ve never made that noise befo-” before he could finish his sentence as well, a low gear grinding noise also came from his midriff. “W-whoa… was that me?”
The two of them were confused by the new uncomfortable sensation, sure they could feel textures they touched, and feelings they felt, but this was an unusually empty feeling. They also noticed the technician’s emotions change from pride to concern, almost like they were guilty about something they weren’t telling them.
“Ohhh yeah… That new feature… U-Uh, listen boys-” the technician shuffled closer to explain. “Sit down, we need to talk… The pizzeria has been going through a bit of a power crisis, the city isn’t allowing us to use as much power for the Pizzaplex as we need, so we had to come up with a temporary solution to power you two up without having to use so much electricity, so now… You two have been upgraded to be able to eat as a substitute measure to refuel.”
“W-We can eat now?” Sun gasped. “...We can eat, we can eat! Now I can finally have tea and cookies with the kids during tea parties and share their snacks at snack time!”
“Greeeaaat, we can eat, lovely…” Moon grumbled, not as thrilled with the new change to his body.
“You’re not excited, Moon!?” Sun asked.
“Sun, they’re all asleep when I’m working…” Moon explained. “Kids don’t eat during naptime…”
“Yes I know, I’m sure at least one of you is looking forward to testing this feature out with the kids, but I first need to explain a few rules about how to take care of your new system.” They warned, handing them both an instruction and troubleshooting booklet. “Please read over this before you go eating something stupid and damaging your bodies, we don’t want to have to bring you back here during your shift…”
Sun and Moon both looked at each other, there were already quite a lot of rules to follow in the daycare, so the thought of having a whole other function to worry about was a bit disappointing. Moon wasn’t a fan of restriction when it came to impeding his offtime while Sun didn’t like the idea of not having complete freedom over what he could do with his body. They flipped through some of the pages and read through the “Do’s and Don’ts” section.
“No sticky liquids or creamy substances, avoid consuming water at all times…” Moon read out loud.
“No eating inanimate or inedible objects?” Sun read with confusion.
“That means YOU, Sun. I know you have a reputation for getting glitter glue in your chest cavity…” the tech scolded him.
“Awww, but if the kids get to eat the glitter glue, why can’t I!?” Sun complained.
“Sun, they’re not SUPPOSED to eat the glue…” Moon chastised. “You’re not keeping that good of an eye on them if they are~”
“Hey! Meanie!” Sun whined, sticking his tongue out at Moon.
“Enough you two, now I need you both to kickstart your new systems. You should be able to convert the food you eat into immediate energy, so we’re going to give you your first meals now just to make sure everything's up to code.” they informed them, turning around to grab some sugar cookies from the desk. “You’ll need to make sure you’re eating something at least once every twelve hours, your bodies will let you know with the grinding you just felt earlier. It may not feel very comfortable if you let it continue for long. The signal will be subtle enough that the kids shouldn’t notice or be frightened by. If they do notice, it should be easy to explain to them that you just need a snack. With the way your shifts switch, you should be able to get a bite to eat while the other one is on duty. Now c'mon, eat up.”
“Cookies!? I’ve been waiting for this day!” Sun squealed, grabbing the cookie from the tray.
“Eugh, really?...” Moon groaned, not wanting his first meal to be so sweet.
Sun immediately tossed the cookie in and chewed with his mouth open. “MMMMMM~! SO GOOD, I COULD CRY!” Sun cried.
“Sun, you’re getting crumbs all over the floor…” Moon cringed, watching his friend munching on the dessert with gusto.
“You two, Moon…” They reminded him, holding the cookie closer to his hand.
“...Fine.” Moon sighed, grabbing the cookie from the tray and taking a small bite. He shrugged. “...Not bad.”
Once the two finished their treat, they noticed the uncomfortable feeling within began to fade, as well as the grinding noise. They assumed the system was set up this way to have an unnoticeable reminder in case they didn’t remember themselves, or perhaps it was a way of mimicking how human’s body systems functioned. Either way, it would be a sensation that Sun and Moon would have to get used to as it didn’t seem like the Pizzeria would be able to supply them with enough battery power for a while.
“Alright, the grinding noise has stopped, which means things should be working. How do you two feel?” They asked.
“Way energized! I feel like I could climb the tallest play structure in the world!” Sun shouted with glee, jogging in place with his sudden energy boost.
“And you, Moon?...”
. . .
“Awake…” Moon groaned, not enjoying the sudden rush of energy.
“Good, it’s ready to go. You two should head back to your rooms and read over the booklet, there’s a few more things we hadn’t gone through about your upgrades, and you’ll need to be familiar with these rules and regulations.” they told them, getting up from their seats.
“Yes sir.” They both answered back, heading out the door.
- - -
“Do not leave the daycare during your shift to refuel unless absolutely necessary…” Sun read.
“Make sure to empty out the contents of your waste storage tank after ten uses or less…” Moon reads as well.
“Eww, that doesn’t sound very sanitary… Wait, does that mean we have to use the bathroom now?” Sun wondered.
“No, I think we can just dump it out in a trash can.” Moon explained. “This is a lot more complicated of an upgrade than I expected, why can’t they just get the city to give more power to the Pizzaplex so we don’t have to rely on eating to refuel?”
“I don’t know, it doesn’t seem fair to me either… Well, we can only make the best out of this. And hey, maybe it could be kinda fun trying any new foods the kids want to share with us!” Sun reassured him.
“Make sure it’s a food that's not on this list, we don’t want to end up back in Parts and Services, especially with your habit of getting glitter glue in your circuits…” Moon warned him.
“But it’s so shiny!” Sun whined.
“Anyway, we should probably get ready for tomorrow, you’ll be on shift, so you should eat something else tonight.” Moon told him.
“Oh yeah, that way I won’t have to deal with any grinding noises during my time with the kids!” Sun smiled.
“I guess that’s why they set the reminder to every twelve hours, it lines up with our schedules.” Moon pieced together. “So… what are you going to have?”
“Hrmm… Well, the Pizzaplex does try to support kids to eat healthy, so maybe I should try something healthy too! It’ll help me better understand why it’s important for the kids!” Sun decided.
“I think there’s a fruit bowl by the snack corner you can take from.” Moon pointed out.
“But isn’t that fruit for the kids to eat?” Sun showed his concern.
“Hey, we have to eat now. I’m sure the staff will make an exception.” Moon snickered.
“You’re right, I’mma go grab something now!” Sun agreed and got up, trotting over to the snack corner after jumping off of the stage edge and returning minutes later with a banana. “I can’t wait to try it!”
Moon watched as Sun proceeded to take a bite out of the banana without peeling it first with no hesitation. He cringed as the sound of the slimy fruit and peel was being horribly masticated in Sun’s mouth.
“Mmmmm, it’s sweet!” Sun told Moon with his mouth full.
“Argh Sun! You’re supposed to take the peel off first and throw it away, not eat it!” Moon complained, covering his hearing sensors.
“I’m not?” Sun asked, his mouth opening wider and getting banana bits on their rug.
“Gross Sun, keep your mouth shut while you eat too, you’re making a mess on the carpet…” Moon groaned.
“Gee Moon, I’m sorry. I didn’t know-” He started before his mouth was clamped shut by Moon’s hand.
“Shut up, I said keep it shut!” Moon barked. “You better not do that in front of the kids, learn your table manners before the morning.”
Sun nodded before Moon took his hand off his mouth, he finished chewing the mouthful before swallowing it down, letting his body do the rest of the work. He figured he was already halfway through eating the banana peel, so he decided to finish it as well.
“Sun, don’t- urgh… F-Fine fine, just don’t eat the peel again.” Moon started, but gave in.
“Whew, I feel great! I can’t wait to start the workday!” Sun jumped up, heading towards the stage to jump into the ball pit.
“Wait, you need to review your table-... Hmph, enjoy your day…” Moon sighed, following behind him and dangling his feet over the edge.
Sun jumped down and swam in the plastic balls, fully embracing the sudden boost of energy. He popped his head out an hour later when he heard the daycare guard opening up the gates to let the early morning kids inside to check in and play. He skipped over to greet every child that walked in, getting the play area ready for the backyard games first. Moon watched from the stage edge as Sun took care of business with the kids downstairs, softly smiling as he saw all those happy faces and laughter come out during their play. Despite having eaten a couple of hours ago, Moon felt quite tired from the stress of learning about his new upgrades catching up to him.
‘Hrmm, maybe I should rest before my shift. Gonna need some sleep if I’m gonna be watching for any naughty children who won’t sleep…’ Moon thought as he yawned and stretched his arms.
He got up from the stage edge and stumbled into his bedroom, flopping into his bed and pulling out his booklet from his pocket. He flipped through the troubleshoots section.
“I should read a bit more before I… I…Urghh…” Moon groaned as his eyelids grew heavier and closed, slowly drifting off to sleep, the booklet falling to his side.
- - -
“Ohhh Moony~!” Sun and the children called out to Moon.
“Zzzzz-snrrkk- Huh, wha-?...” Moon snorted awake in a rather unusual position on the bed with his rear in the air and his head halfway to the floor.
Sun and the kids were calling his name, he looked at the clock, it was 8:00 at night.
“-Oh shit, I overslept!...” Moon panicked, stumbling out of bed.
Moon spiffed himself up as best as he could before running out of his room and over to the stage edge, hooking himself up to the fly rig before lowering himself down to join Sun by the ball pit and begin his shift.
“Hrmm, I don’t think Moon heard us, let’s call his name again, Starlights!” Sun instructed the kids. “Ohhh Moooony~!”
“There he is!” “Moony!” “Yayyy!” “Over there!” The kids all screamed to Sun and pointed up to Moon.
“Ohhh, there you are Moon! We were getting worried about you! Are you ready to start the sleeping part of the slumber party?” Sun asked him.
“Youuu bet! I hope you had fun playing with Sun all day, but now it’s time to rest.” Moon explained, removing his fly rig from his back. “You two Sunny!”
“Whaaat??? Me???” Sun played along, having done this routine over and over.
“Yes! You must be soooo tired after playing all day, why don’t you set a good example and head to bed as well?” Moon carried on with the routine.
“But Moony, I’m not-” Sun started, but then let out a big loud yawn. “Sleepy…”
“Ooooo~ Are you sure about that? What do you think, Starlights?” Moon asked the kids.
“Yeah, go to bed Sunny!” “Nap Time!” “Get some rest, Mr. Sun!” the kids agreed.
“Well… Alright, maybe I am just a liiiiittle tired… I guess I’ll go to bed too. Thanks for all the fun today, kiddos! I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow!” Sun smiled, marching over to the ball pit to finish his act.
With one last loud yawn, Sun flopped into the ball pit and disappeared under the plastic colors, fake snoring quite loudly for a bit. The children giggled when they saw the balls fly everywhere, it was the funniest thing Sun did today. Moon began his second part of his shift by cartwheeling over to where the daycare’s pillows and blankets were kept.
“Now then Starlights, everyone grab a pillow and blanket, and we can begin to settle down for story time!” Moon smiled, opening up the pillow and blanket boxes.
“Yayyy!” “I want the star blanket!” “So sleepy…” The kids mumbled as they each grabbed their supplies one by one.
“I have some choices for which story you’d like to hear tonight, we have Cinderella, Goodnight Moon, or we have Alice in Wonderland~” Moon told them, obviously putting the more desired story by the kids at the end of the choices.
“Alice in Wonderland!” “Alice in Wonderland!” “Alice in Wonderland!” “Alice in Wonderland!” All the kids shouted.
“Hehehehe okay, we’ll read Alice in Wonderland. Now everyone, find a spot to lay your weary heads, and I’ll start to pass out the Sleepy-Time candy.” Moon chuckled.
One by one, the children chose a spot in the daycare near the ball pit to rest, and Moon walked by each one of them, giving them a piece of Moondrop candy. As they nibbled on their treat, the melatonin inside the sticky layers began to soothe even the most rowdy of children, and they all watched as Moon sat down in a criss-cross to begin the story.
“Now then, let’s begin… ‘Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, and what is the use of a book, thought Alice…’” Moon read softly outloud.
- - -
“Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days…The End.” Moon finished.
He closed the book cover and looked out over the daycare to see that every child had fallen asleep. It brightened his night to be back at his job, he was worried he would’ve been decommissioned due to that virus he had been subjected to a while back. Sun sat up from the ball pit and tiptoed over to Moon.
“You did great, Moony. Will you be alright here by yourself while I go refuel?” Sun whispered to Moon, patting him on the back.
“Yeah, you go ahead, it should be an easy night tonight, I’ll be fine.” Moon nodded and handed Sun his fly rig. “See you in a bit, and don’t forget this.”
Sun smiled and rose up with the fly rig cable to the exit of the daycare, making sure his wrist bells didn’t jingle. Moon watched as his friend slowly opened the door and slowly shut it behind him, leaving him alone to watch over the children as they slept. He checked the watch on the giant screen behind the security desk.
‘Hrmm, 11:30… That was quicker getting everyone down than I-” He thought at first, but then-
*CLICK CREEAKK VRRRR*
Moon jolted in his seat and looked down at his stomach. That noise could only mean one thing; his body needed more fuel. He remembered that he had fallen asleep before starting his shift, meaning he didn’t give himself a chance to eat.
‘Shit, it’s been over twelve hours…’ Moon thought, slowly panicking, he checked to make sure no one had woken up. ‘...That’s way louder in the silence, the kids are gonna wake up from that for sure…What do I do?...’
He knew the snack corner had been cleared of everything edible, so there wasn’t anything in the vicinity he could eat to stop the noise. Sun had also stepped out of the daycare, so it wasn’t like he could call on him to take over his shift so he could grab something to eat. And with the daycare guards away on surveillance duty through the pizzaplex, he couldn’t ask them for help either. He was at an impasse.
*WHIIRRR CLICK CLICK CREEAAKK*
‘S-Shut up, shut up!’ Moon shushed, holding his stomach tight to try and muffle the noise. ‘I… I gotta make this quick, one snack, in and out…’
Despite knowing he wasn’t supposed to leave his shift to go and eat unless it was an emergency, he felt with the risk of waking the children up, he had no choice. He remembered the security guards had a staff canteen just upstairs from the daycare, if he was going to find food quickly, that would be the first place to check. He slowly got up from his criss-cross and evaluated the walking space in front of him. The children were sprawled out everywhere, leaving little spaces in between them to step. Since he had given Sun his fly rig to travel out of the daycare, he would have to traverse to the exit by foot. Starting with his right foot, he tested the waters of how quiet he could tiptoe around the kids without them stirring, his wrist bells kept in a tight grip in his hands to avoid adding any additional noise. Moon could tell it was harder to keep up his tiptoeing for a long time, having to pause each time he passed about three kids. With his sudden lack of energy, Moon’s night vision was also affected slightly, making it difficult for him to see where any of the noisemaker barrels were stacked. He managed to pass by most of them without knocking them over, but one stack in particular he didn’t see in the dark, and the top piece of the barrel tower suddenly fell towards the floor.
‘-Shit!’ Moon panicked, quickly grabbing the barrel before it could make a sound.
He held still in his sudden lean, realizing that he was standing between someone sleeping and a noisemaker barrel tower. He was also quite low to the floor, just inches away from falling on top of a child. Making sure to maintain his balance, he slowly lifted one leg up and changed his direction towards the tower, placing the barrel back on top. He shifted his center of gravity now that he had let go of the barrel, and made his way back into a more stable standing up position without stepping on the child. Moon took a deep breath of relief that he managed to pull that trick off, especially with his lower energy.
“WHIIIRRRR CREEAAKK VVVVVVRRRRRRRRR*
Moon had waited to eat for too long, and his body’s noise had kicked up a notch from creaking to vibrating.
“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!...” Moon whispered and jolted as he held his stomach tight, quickly tiptoeing past the last of the children and finally reaching the door.
“Whew, made it…” Moon sighed in relief, slipping through and leaning against the other side of the door, taking a moment to recuperate. “Okay, five minutes, in and out…”
Moon made his way upstairs towards the staff canteen and looked around. It wasn’t anything fancy compared to the rest of the Pizzaplex, just one wall with cabinets and a few tables and chairs. The walls and floors were pretty plain, just beige coloring and a dirty carpet. He checked the cabinets first, nothing inside them but plastic cutlery, paper plates, and napkins. Moon scoffed at the Pizzaplex’s cheap setup they had for the staff, and couldn't even bother providing them with proper silverware. He then checked the freezer, on the top shelf he noticed a box of Fazbear-brand pizza pocketsTM with a sticky note attached to the lid that had ‘Kevin’ written on it. The note also read ‘DO NOT TAKE!’, it was clear whoever this Kevin was, it wasn’t the first time he had to write a note like this. Moon was hesitant to grab a couple pizza pockets from the box, seeing as how they clearly belonged to someone, but soon the return of the uncomfortable grinding in his stomach convinced him otherwise.
“Hrmm… I’m sure Kevin won’t mind if just a couple of these pizza pockets went missing~” Moon snickered, opening the packets and placing the pizza pockets on a paper plate. “Besides, it’s an emergency, and finders keepers!”
Moon placed the plate in the microwave and set it for two minutes according to the heating instructions; if it’s quick to cook, it’s quick to eat. He hungrily eyed the pizza pockets as they spun slowly on the glass disc, steam fogging up the window. Once they finished cooking, he took them out and gave one of them a taste, not even waiting for them to cool down. It was quite salty and artificially flavored, but he was in no position to complain. It filled the space inside him and gave him the energy boost he needed, that’s what mattered.
“Mmmm… Finally, trying something salty…” he softly moaned in pleasure, slowly chewing the food and indulging the savory flavors coating his newly installed tongue.
. . .
“Moondrop!? What are you doing here!?” Sun quietly yelled from across the canteen. “You left your shift to eat!?”
“...Umm, yeah. And?” Moon shrugged, gulping down his first bite.
“We’re not supposed to do that, Moon! It’s my time to be eating right now while you’re doing your duty with the kids!” Sun explained harshly, wagging his finger at Moon.
“Oh yeah, is it now?” Moon smirked, eyeing Sun up and down, noticing how sparkly he was. “And what exactly did YOU eat for your meal tonight then, hmm?”
“I-I… U-Uhh…” Sun twiddled his thumbs, realizing he had been caught.
. . .
“...G-Glitter glue…”
“As I expected, you can’t stick to the rules either!” Moon chuckled, taking another bite.
“Y-Yes I can! I-I just… I n-needed to know why I shouldn’t eat it!” Sun stuttered.
“You can’t eat glue, Sun. It’s gonna clog up your circuits, and there’s no calories in it anyway for you to fuel with.” Moon reminded him, holding out his plate to him. “Here, have one of these pizza pockets instead.”
“What!? I’m not gonna eat one of those greasy pockets of junk food!” Sun pouted. “How are we supposed to be good examples to the kids if you’re eating that slop!?”
Moon shrugged.
“...Fine, I’m going to watch the children if you won’t right now!” Sun yelled, and began to walk away.
“Ohh, so you’re JUST fine with working tomorrow on an empty stomach?” Moon twirled his head and deviously smiled. “There’s nothing to eat here but these… Very well, don’t say I didn’t warn you. But trust me, that glitter glue isn’t going to stop that grinding noise…”
“I’m perfectly fine where I-” Sun turned around and started his backtalk, but was interrupted.
*CLICK CREEAAKK WHIIRRR*
. . .
“Gimme that pizza pocket.” Sun grumbled and blushed, grabbing the pizza pocket from Moon’s plate.
“That’s what I thought~” Moon chuckled.
Sun gave the pizza pocket a squish and a lick before taking a big bite out of it. Moon watched as his friend seemed to be struggling to chew his food this time. He finished up his pizza pocket and threw the plate away, leaning against the counter and waiting for Sun to finish as well. Once he was done chewing the big bite he took, he tried to swallow the mouthful he had, but something was very wrong. The glitter glue he had consumed earlier had dried and hardened in his throat, causing a major blockage. Sun swallowed harder to try and get it down, but the glue or the food wasn’t budging.
“Uhh, Sun… You okay?” Moon asked, getting up from leaning on the counter.
“Nrghh, ack-! Gack!” Sun gagged, grabbing at his throat. “-ACK -HELP!”
“-Oh shit, you’re choking! Hold on, don’t panic!” Moon yelled, not even attempting to be quiet.
He ran behind Sun and wrapped his arms around Sun’s chest, swiftly pressing his arms inward to give him the Heimlich. Sun coughed violently with each squeeze, his head throwing back and forth as he tried to expel the contents in his throat. Their episode’s volume level had reached the daycare, causing some of the children to stir from their rest. Without Moon down there to reassure that everything was okay, some of the kids grew frightened at the sounds of Sun choking and began to cry. The night guards were quickly alerted to the situation when one of the surveillance guards noticed neither Sun or Moon were in the daycare to soothe the crying children. One of them ran down to supervise the daycare center while another ran to where the choking noises were coming from.
“-C’mon -Sun! -Breathe! -Don’t -you -break -on -me!” Moon shouted, giving more forceful thrusts into Sun’s chest.
“-ACK! COUGH! HWARK!” Sun gagged, finally coughing up everything that was stuck.
“Whew, thank goodness… There you go, easy now. Take some breaths…” Moon sighed in relief, rubbing Sun’s back.
“What the hell is going on in here!?” a voice yelled at them.
The guard looked into the canteen and saw Sun bent over and was dripping glue and pizza sauce from his mouth, as well as Moon breathing heavily from the sudden force he had to exert. The two of them turned to the exit to see the night guard standing in the doorway. Moon stepped back from Sun and gave him some space as he stepped closer to the night guard.
‘Ahh shit, we got caught…’ Moon thought as he groaned. “L-Look, we can explain-”
“Save it Moon, the two of you left those kids unattended! Do you know how serious this is!? Anything could’ve happened to them while you were gone! Especially in the dark, YOU’RE in charge of them right now Moon, you’re in some huge ass trouble…” the guard scolded them.
“Y-Yes, I know, w-we’re just not used to this update, and-”
“No excuses Moondrop, get your starry keister down there and DO YOUR JOB!” the guard growled, walking towards them and grabbing Sun’s wrist. “You’re coming with me to Parts and Service to fix your throat.”
“I-I’m sorry-” Sun rasped, stumbling as he followed them.
“Just shut up and move!” the guard interrupted and led them away to Parts and Service.
‘Dammit… Sorry Sun…’ Moon thought, feeling guilty about leaving his post and pushing Sun to do something that stupid which led him to needing a repair already.
He made his way back downstairs to the daycare where several children were waiting for him by the door with tears in their eyes and lots of questions for him to answer.
“You’re on your own, Moon.” The substitute daycare guard told him, stepping out of the room.
“Where were you!?” “Is Mr. Sun okay!?” “Did he die!?” “Why did you leave us!?” “I had a nightmare, Mr. Moon!” The kids all yelled at once.
“Children relax, Mr. Sun is alright, he just had…” He paused, trying to think of a valid, yet child-appropriate excuse. “...A stomachache, but he’ll be back in the morning to play with all of you when you wake back up…”
“I’m not tired!” “I can’t sleep now!” “I’m scared to go back to sleep!” “We want to see Mr. Sun!” The kids kept yelling.
Moon let out a tiring sigh, this was going to be a long night…
- - -
It had been three days since the night of the “Midnight Snack Incident”, Sun and Moon were better adjusted to their new eating schedule and made sure there was always something in their room to snack on to prevent another disaster like that from happening again. The Pizzaplex’s mailbox had filled up quite a bit with letters from complaining parents about their children’s sudden grouchy behavior the night after the incident, and several of them having nightmares about the daycare attendants dying days later. While Human Resources dealt with the parent’s concerns, the Parts and Services team spoke to Sun and Moon on their break.
“Look, most of these cases we can just sweep under the rug, okay? But we can’t have another situation like this again, especially with the repeat kids having nightmares during their sleepovers here. Have the repairs to your throat been working, Sun?” the technician asked.
“Yeah, I-I think so…” Sun replied, rubbing his newly replaced, yet still sore neck.
“And Moon, you’ve been keeping up on your reminders to eat?” they questioned.
“Yes, my internal clock AND my watch are set to go off an hour early indefinitely…” Moon grumbled, rolling his eyes.
“Good, now as an extra precaution, we’re allowing you two to have a mini fridge and a snack basket in your room to keep any food you may need so you don’t need to leave the daycare, as well as a portable manual charger as a last ditch effort to keep you going when you’re on shift. It’s not very efficient at charging, but it’s silent and should buy you two some time to reunite and take over if one needs to eat, okay?” the tech explained. “It’s going to take the Pizzaplex some time to get back up to a power level we can work with, so this charging restriction is only temporary. Once we’re back up to a more stable level, you may use the charger more, so try and make the most out of this upgrade.”
“Yes sir…” Sun and Moon begrudgingly nodded.
“Alright, back to your room. We’ll take care of the parent’s complaints before they drop their children off tomorrow morning for you.” the tech ordered.
“Okay…” the two of them sighed, and got up to leave the room.
“Oh, and Sun?” the tech prompted.
“Yes?” Sun wondered, turning back to them before he was about to exit through the door.
“NO. MORE. GLITTER GLUE.”

I bounce between liking and hating the colors, but either way they look nice together. She's making a kinda derpy face but that's a postitive honestly. (Also I doubt this is true bc I'm p sure they have one Monstrous Nightmare model/drawing (depending on whether you're seeing a drawing or a model lol) that they use in game, but the fins on her back look spikier than Hooky's to me and her horns look smaller?)
Barf and Belch's mate(s?)
Tumblr media
(WHY IS THE PIC SO SMALL???)
5/10
I kinda like their colors, or,, I would if it weren't for the greyish silver that's just kinda everywhere. Idk I kinda associate zipplebacks w brighter colors and I just don't like the shade lol. Also the 'spikes' on their heads just don't work for me (not a huge fan of the spikes on their necks and back being so spaced out and also silver just meh). The little scales on their wings fading from red to orange to yellow is a nice touch though I like that a lot.
Also I just discovered that Barf and Belch are a boy through their mate's fandom wiki?? I was curious bc I've never been sure, so I checked to see what was up w these one's and they're female, so I was like ohhh Barf and Belch must be male, and I went over to their wiki and yeah they are. I just feel like there were easier ways for me to figure that out lol.
Meatlug's mate
Tumblr media
3/10
I hate him I hate him I hate him I HATE HIM. I hate that he's like, a greyish green and bright yellow. (I love Meatlug's color pallete, I love how soft and warm it is, this is NOT that) His ear things seem longer too, which I HATE. Also the bumps on his face and tail (which are few and far between for me) just being ORANGE is kinda gross. (I'm not gonna comment too mucch on the texture and stuff of them bc the game isn't THAT detailed and that's FINE, but in the picture they look like,,, pussy???) (Meatlug's, at least in the shows, are more textured and not straight up purrple and shiny idk)
Toothless' mate
Tumblr media
Like 4/10?
I like her tail fin being a different shape, but her ear thingies are too round and short, and I feel like all of her proportions are to softened you know?. Also she looks like she's wearing eye shadow which,,,, :/ (could just be the shadows but idk that's what it looks like) (also, her feet and the way she's sitting she just looks like they're trying to make her very feminine, which is okay, but like paired w the proportions and stuff idk it just feels wrong to me
(I'm joking around and wtv but honestly I like her so much more in the Rise of Berk art style, she's just a little more angular, and it cuts the sparkles and stuff, and she just feels a LITTLE more like what she should've been.)

💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon For your Saddest Negativest oc and your happiest positivitest oc
💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon: ohhh dear god hmm. i’ll do terzo for saddest simply bc of his backstory and chatterbox for most positive because look at it
quick terzo backstory rundown bc it’s a LOT w out context but tldr boy comes to life. has no idea who or what he is but the people around him tell him they’re his best friends. he knows they’re human and he knows he ISNT so he just wants to be normal. for reasons he literally cannot understand he’s ejected from his body and basically killed by these people he’s known his Entire Life (one day). from there on out he does everything he can to enact revenge on the person who caused all of this and to become Normal and Human. along the way at the age of like 5 he’s “adopted” by this insane space lady who turns him into her own personal pawn and Kills Him Again and turns him into Goo Boy (dw hes fine now. hes married and can play the guitar)
anyway. despite the fact that he LOOKS human currently it’s just a shell made of Gunk and Slop. it becomes solid and has a skin/hair/etc texture to it and is functionally completely believable to be a regular human body but it’s entirely fake. anyway when he gets extremely upset it melts and he turns back into what he was before (horrible shambling mess of goo). also his mom made copies of him and killed them/inadvertently got them to he killed all the time but preserved their memories so he occasionally has to deal w the concept that he’s not even Himself. this guy has identity problems
for CHATTERBOX on the other hand. since it’s a little bobot and all it knows how to do is 1) make friends and LOVE friends and 2) Love Learning and want to Make Things Safe for people it cares about . it will on occasion go berserk and go WAY too far in protecting people (murder, freak accidents etc). when people get upset at those sort of actions from him he doesn’t give a shit.
HOWEVER. if you lie to him and trick him into THINKING that he’s doing something friendly for you while you’re making him work to your advantage. THAT makes him INCREDIBLY upset. any sort of faked friendship or lying to its face for your own gain will drive him to tears on the spot. it’s completely incomprehensible to him that someone would LIE about being friends with him. like it literally can’t compute in his brain it’ll make him short circuit

3, 4, 5, 8, 10, and 13 for the writing asks?
thank you! 💙
3. What is your writing ritual and why is it cursed?
my writing ritual is cursed bc i need to be in a good environment where i can actually focus on my writing, re: i don't have anything too important to do, i've found the perfect playlist to listen to while i write, my lips are smooth and i've stopped licking or biting on them! it's a cursed ritual and a silly one too bc if i don't have all of these ingredients at the reach of my hand i won't like the vibes™️ and therefore i probably won't get much writing done! it's terrible! i wish to be free of this curse...
4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?
hmm i can't really think of any english words that make me go Feral atm but in my native language there's SOOO fucking many but to name a few: libelula / cielo / miel / dulce / cariño and i'll now translate in the exact order: dragonfly / sky / honey / sweet / sweetie(?) like in English these words just don't make me feel anything at all but in spanish, in my motherland i'll literally Gasp whenever someone says these words... it's just so good! but i guess in English i'd say fuck! fuck is such a nice word! imo it sounds a bit soft and lovely hehe 🥰 i would like to make one of those Youtube videos where you just grab random people off the street and i'd just point the cam and ask them to say fuck for me 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 i just think it's such a nice word! >:)
5. Do you have any writing superstitions? What are they and why are they 100% true?
i think i only have one writing superstition? and it just has to do w/ me and no one else. i think it's super bad luck to leave paragraphs that are not pleasing to my eyes! like idk.. it's about the way i lay it out, the way it's presented to my eyes. i'm not talking about justifying your text, not at all, but like when a paragraph looks a bit too Ugly. idk i can't explain it! but if a paragraph doesn't pass my hot or not test i'll fix it until i can make it pretty! it's not about the words either, it's about the Feel. the Texture! i hope that makes sense 😭
8. If you had to write an entire story without either action or dialogue, which would you choose and how would it go?
ohhh hmm an entire story... i think i would Die... but i guess i'd go w/ dialogue... bc i need to have my characters doing things and putting them in situations! sometimes they don't even have to speak since you can really get in the zone w/ some narration or introspective bit on that character but that's just me. dialogue is fun tho.
10. Has a piece of writing ever “haunted” you? Has your own writing haunted you? What does that mean to you?
i don't think so? i mean, sometimes i'm haunted by old wips i never got to editing and they're like little ghosts that "haunt" me but it doesn't happen much.
13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?
i guess the grandiose is hard for me to write. mostly mystery and sports! i find that so hard man! i love mystery & crime but when i try my hand at it it just feels very bland... true detective my beloved 😭😭😭 sorry i can't girlboss like you. same w/ sports. i don't know how those work, i only did cross country in hs and got kicked out of all the sports i tried to be in bc i am disastrously terrible at sports! sadly i find both of these things hot and i wish it was easier for me to write. but i find character driven, slice of life and art subjects easier. i like getting into a character's head and trying to think / act like them, i love writing their days or their nights, all their little ups and downs! i love to write about art bc i've had a decade of surrounding myself in art and it's just easier than other subjects for me. and i guess that's okay there's things i'm good at and things i have to practice to get better at! 😌

Sour was the taste left on the budded texture inside your mouth.
Or, maybe it was vile.
Bread remnants? Dry spit? Now you can't remember.
Perched across the wood, adjacent to another soldier who's name you didn't catch, was an older man in the Survey Corps..
..and he was smiling. At you.
His name served no rank or leadership, just a plain veteran soldier in the regiment. Technically, he laid in the same ranks as you, only difference being the distance between ages.
His presence was...repulsive. Crumbs of bread and vegetables jammed his teeth, and his odor reeked of sweat and musk. You could pick up on the stench from all the way over the wide-set table, and each time his face spun your way your nostrils winced.
And for some reason, he wouldn't stop grinning at you. With Jean to your right and Sasha to your left, your attempts of dissembling his lurking with conversation only served you little, as you could still feel his gawking through the corner of your eye.
"Hey, [First], didn't you say Armin was coming? Where is he?"
Jean inquired after gulping down his cup. You blinked out of your daze, glancing up at the cadet with a small grin.
"Oh, yeah, he was but he wanted to finish this book...He's in his room, I bet."
"Armin? The little lad with the weird haircut? Why are you concerned about him, [Last]?"
Jean didn't miss the way your body curled in on itself the moment the man spoke a word. Hesitantly, you met his leering stare with a nervous chuckle.
"Um, because he's my friend..?"
"Just friends? I thought you two were-,"
Your elbow jammed into Sasha's ribs before she could punctuate her statement. The veteran's eyebrow quirked.
"More than friends, then? Sorry if I'm intruding but, isn't he a little..." His expression scrunched up. "Out of your taste..?"
The skin between your brows pulled together. "I'm sorry..?"
"Well, it's just that, he's a bit short and not as well developed. Surely you know better than to run off with a boy like him, right?"
Okay, now it was time to evade. Jean and Sasha bore their own glares of distaste towards the soldier, but you abruptly rose from your seat, tray in hand.
"It's really none of your business, sir. Have a nice night."
Stepping out of the bench, you shook your head with a deep frown while trudging over to the tray drop off. The nerve of some people. Who was he to comment on your love life, especially on the person you were currently seeing? As if he knows any better about who Armin was-
"Pardon me, [Last], but I don't appreciate being brushed off as rudely as you did a second ago. As your senior, I expect more from you. More respect."
Just as you whirled around to exit, your nose barely grazed the satin fabric of his dress shirt, his body looming way too close for comfort. The proximity caused you to gulp, eyes slowly trailing up to his sneer.
"All I did was politely make a suggestion. No need for the disrespect. Surely you understand that, right?"
All rebuttals fluttered away into the swirls of your nerves. Your mouth quivered as it hung open, vocal cords refusing to respond back. His grin stretched at your panic, his hand raising to stroke your hair. Before the tips of his fingers could touch your tresses, Jean intervened with a push to your shoulder, his body taking your place.
"I suggest you back off before things get messier."
Oh the relief was exhilarating. The gears of your lungs kicked back into motion as you sighed through your nose, a hand unconsciously coming up to your chest to calm your rapid heartbeat.
The veteran clicked his tongue to his teeth in annoyance as he sauntered off, but not before sparing you one last glance. Jean turned to you with a relaxed grin.
"Glad I made it in time."
You nodded with a breathy scoff, your eyes darting all around the room.
"I...I'm gonna go see Armin."
Jean patted your shoulder with a heavy hand. "Good idea."
Finally making eye contact you thanked him with another nod, breaking away from him to head for the exit.
--
Armin jolted the second your fist made contact with the wood of his door, his narrowed concentration broken as his eyes peeled away from book pages to his room entrance.
"W-Who is it?"
"..It's me. Um. Can I come in...?"
The tightness in his face faded as he beamed, a faint pinkness rising to his cheeks. Marking his place with a bookmark, he smoothed down his shirt while rising from his bed. Wrapping his hand around the doorknob, he leisurely pulled it open to meet you with a warm smile, only for it to drop at the sight of your anxious form.
"Woah, are you alright..?"
Stepping aside for you to enter, his nerves heightened, his thoughts springing out different scenarios of what events you'd just experienced.
"Here, sit."
Guiding you to his bed, the blonde sat himself down beside you, watching you try to take up as little space as possible. He refrained any physical contact in case it'd trigger more anxieties, so he waited for you to speak, his hands nervously moving up and down his thighs.
Your hands interlocked themselves together and fiddled in your lap, the skin of your lips going in between your teeth. Your leg bounced as you stared straight forward, as if you were alone in your own room instead of his.
"[First]..? What happened? Who did this?"
You finally turned to look at him, but only for a mere second, as your gaze fell down to the mattress.
"I, uh..I.."
The image of you trembling like this broke his heart. He couldn't hold back anymore as he raised an arm to embrace your waist, softly pulling you closer towards him. His chest tightened when your head rolled to lay on his shoulder, your legs scooting closer to rest beside his.
"I was at dinner...with Jean and Sasha."
You started, pausing to prick the skin of your cuticles.
"This guy, I don't even know his name. He sat across from us, and I noticed he was kind of...weird. He was giving me these really creepy looks and smiling...I don't know."
Armin stiffened up, his blonde brows furrowing. Still, he remained quiet.
"At some point, Jean asked where you were, and I said you were in here reading. And then this guy just started making these comments, about you, about our relationship.. I finally... stood up to leave and told him it was none of his business, but then he fucking cornered me and went on about respect and all that bullshit. Saying he was my fucking senior! Like what the fuck!"
Your voice wavered in and out as the scene created heat behind your eyes. Armin gasped as your hands cupped your face, a couple muffled sniffles escaping through the gaps of your fingers.
His free hand brought your knees to lay over his thighs before taking your other side, your body now turned towards him. His fingers traced patterns into your back while his cheek leaned against the top of your head.
"..And then Jean came to tell him off. Which, I was, very relieved by.. If he hadn't shown up...that fucking creep was about to try something. I could see it in his eyes. God, he was so..!"
"Shh. Shh."
Uncovering your face, your arms embraced his middle to bring him impossibly close. If there was any space left between you before, it was diminished now by your embrace, your need to feel his comfort and security.
"Hey.."
Moving away just barely, Armin caressed the tender skin of your cheeks, adjusting your face to meet his eyes. The beautiful pools of cerulean you loved so much.
"I'm sorry that happened to you, but I'm so, so proud of you for evading the situation. You trusted your gut, and left when he was making you uncomfortable. It takes a lot to leave a situation like that."
You sniffled as more tears filled up your eye ducts.
"But...if Jean hadn't showed up the second time, he would've..."
"You did the best you could in the situation, lovey. No point in thinking what could've happened, because what's important is you got out of there. He didn't get the upper hand on you. Not one bit."
A wobbly grin broke out on your lips.
"I'm so proud of you."
Armin spoke again while pulling you in for another hug, one hand holding the back of your head to stroke your hair. You clung onto him as another sob left you, your face hiding in the fabric of his shirt.
"I'll have a word with the Captain tomorrow. I'll take care of it, so you don't have to worry about that creep again. Okay?"
You nodded into him, arms tightening around his torso. His eyelids fluttered shut as he nestled more into your warmth, not finding anywhere else he'd rather be.
The next evening you were pleasantly surprised when you approached the usual table and the vacant spot across the table greeted you. Turning your head side to side to search the mess hall, the face of that creep was nowhere to be found.
Sitting next to Armin, who beamed at you while removing his hand from the saved spot, you gave him a shy grin. The blonde didn't say a word more about the uncomfortable interaction, or what exactly he said to the Captain, but as a pair of veterans waltzed by your table...
"Did you hear about what happened to Nicolas today? Caught the end of it, but apparently the Captain gave him a rough beating."
"Not just that! The poor sod was terminated from the regiment! He's apparently leaving for his hometown after he recovers in the infirmary."
"Wow! Wonder what happened that got him so screwed up."
You almost spat out your drink. Glancing at Armin, his smile only grew as he sipped his cup.

Julian X Fem!Apprentice 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋 NSFW
(I’m going to be using the name of the apprentice I came up with for my playthrough, just cuz I really like the character. I’ll likely also use her for other fics I write in the future. If you wish to read from a first person POV just replace “Mia” with your Fem!Apprentice’s name as you read.)
I could feel my eyes draw to a close as I lay in Julian’s gentle embrace, the soft fire light underneath Mazelinka’s cauldron still visible through the thin silky courtain which separated us from her living space.
I watched it flicker and fade, blurred by the texture of the fabric, as I similarly faded away beneath Julian’s arm. Once I finally closed my eyes all I could hear was Julian’s gentle breathing (and occasional snore). All I could feel was the rise and fall of his chest against my back, and the warmth of his body as he spooned me from behind.
I remember feeling something I haven’t felt for an awfully long time in that moment... some utterly peaceful feeling that I can’t quite describe. As I drifted away in his arms all I could do was hope that maybe he felt that way too...
I awoke, I assume, not too long after I had originally fallen asleep, to a sharp pain in my side, and the violent jostling of the mattress that we both shared. I rolled over in confusion to identify the source of this disturbance.
Unsurprisingly, it was Julian who had awoken me; spasming and groaning due to what I could only guess was an awful nightmare. In the beginnings of his panic he had managed to somehow hit me in the ribs. I couldn’t tell you if it was a kick or a punch, but I do know that the force I had felt puts no doubt in my mind that whatever he was fighting in that nightmare, he was fighting for his life.
Concerned, I sat up in bed and shook him with all of the strength I could muster to try and wake him— which worked. However, in retrospect the force I used was likely overkill. I was panicked and didn’t know better. This was only the second time I had ever seen him like this.
I watched as Julian’s eye fluttered open, his expression quickly changing from fear to confusion to relief. “My Gods... w-what happened?” He managed to mutter.
“I think you were having a Nightmare...” I replied, unsure of the details myself.
“Right, right.” He seems to recollect... something. “I wasn’t too much of a disturbance was I darling...?”
“Oh shut up Ilya...” I cooed. “You always talk about yourself like that... you just shook the bed a bit and woke me up, that’s all.”
Julian’s nose and ears flushed a pretty pink when hearing my tone. A gentle but mischievous smile growing on his dimly lit, rouge face. “Well I’m glad I did.” He pushes me over onto my back, pinning me to the mattress.
“Julian...” I whispered, “we’re at Mazelinka’s...”
“I know.” He replies playfully, twirling his spindley finger around a strand of my long honey blond hair.
I must have begun to blush as well because his smile metamorphisizes into a suggestive smirk. “Oh Mia Mia Mia... why are you so beautiful when you’re flustered?”
I can feel my face get hotter and hotter. “Do you know how much trouble we would be in if we got caught?” I whisper pointedly.
“If we get caught” he replies naughtily, a surprisingly soft hand gently caressing my cheek.
My heart is racing, temptation beginning to override my senses. I couldn’t help it anymore. I stared up at Julian, my emerald green eyes glazed over with a powerful lust. My arms had wrapped themselves around his neck, pulling his flushed pale face down to mine. Before I even knew what I was doing our lips touched.
The kiss began gentle and loving, but his lips slowly grew hungrier and hungrier. He began to gently tug at the silver night robe I was wearing, like he was begging, pleading to see what lied underneath it.
I let slip a quiet moan as he passionately bit my bottom lip, my hands frantically unbuttoning his white shirt. Before I knew it, his white button up and slacks lie sprawled on Mazelinka’s floor, leaving only his normally loose fitting underwear between me and his member, which jutted out from his torso in his arousal.
Julian couldn’t help himself. With a little help from me, my robe was undone and the whole of my figure lie before him on the bed. I watched his face grow a deeper, darker red as he took me all in. After all, this was the first time he had seen me fully nude.
“A-...are you sure you want to do this daring?” He whispers kindly in my ear.
I can’t contain my excitement any longer. “Oh yes... p-please Jules!” I quietly exclaimed.
“...perfect.” He whispered slyly in my ear, kissing and nibbling it as I brought my hand down to his bulging erection and began to touch him through his boxers.
He let out a sudden groan of pleasure and started bringing his mouth down, from my ear, to my neck, to my breast. He took a moment to look up at me devilishly, with those stunning silver eyes, before planting his warm lips on my right nipple, sucking and licking as he pleased.
I moaned softly “o-oh... Juliaaahn... y-you’re such a g-good boy.” My legs instinctively wrapped themselves around his waist, leaving nothing but those boxers between us and ultimate intimacy.
He brings his face from my breast and looks at me with another devilish smirk. “Am I really a good boy?” He questions, bringing his long and surgically practiced fingers down the length of my body and between my legs.
“Y-yes Julian... you’re such a g-“ I found myself pausing as he thrust his finger deep inside me, beginning to slowly pulse in and out. “goooood boy.”
Feeding off my my praise he pulses faster and faster, watching me writhe beneath him with pleasure. I watch as his erection begins to point upwards in excitement and his boxers begin to grow a bit wet where his tip would be.
“F-fuck! Julian!” I moan. “I c-can’t take it anymore just take me! Please just take me! Fuck me!” I can’t stand it. It feels like my mind has melted under his masterful touch. My lusts leaping from my lips before I can stop them. I can’t think. I just want him.
“Would that please you darling? Would you like that?” He asks suggestively, pulling off his underwear.
“Mhmm” I nod, my face a deep crimson.
Like a puppy given approval by their master he leaps to action with gusto. Lifting my legs back and holding them down beside my head. “A-Are you ready?” He asks, seeming a bit nervous yet overcome with excitement at the same time.
“Yes” I instantly blurt.
I then feel him slowly slip all of himself inside of me. I gasp with pleasure, and his once pale face is left a deep and dark maroon. “Ohhh Mia...” he purrs. “Ohh you’re... I-I don’t think I can take this for very loaahng”
I close my eyes in ecstasy, feeling him begin to slowly thrust back and forth. I clench the soft ginger curls at the nape of his neck as he starts to pick up the pace.
I can’t control myself anymore. I begin to moan... and they’re lengthy loud ones too. I’m overcome. He’s hitting all of the right spots. It’s just too good. I’m so loud... but I don’t care.
“T-thaaat’s right Mia...” he manages to murmur through the pleasure. The pounding getting faster and faster. His breathing getting more and more erratic. “Let me be a gooood boy for you.”
I can tell he’s getting closer. His member is throbbing inside me in anticipation. It feels far too good, I can’t help but— “J-J-Julian!” I gasp, releasing myself all over him, tightening around his stiffness as he continues to pound.
I feel his fingernails dig into my thighs. He’s struggling to get through my orgasm. “M-M-Miaaa!” He moans loudly before freezing, his face glowing red from arousal and exertion. His grip on my thighs gets stronger and I watch his eyes roll into the back of his head as he spills his load inside of me.
He stays frozen, panting for a minute, before planting a kiss on my forehead and pulling out to lay beside me on the bed again.
We lie like that for a few moments. Breathless in each other’s arms. I don’t know for how long but it was a moment I wish could have lasted forever. I feel as Julian begins to drift off... letting a few simple words past his lips before succumbing to exhaustion; “...I love you.”
“I love you too”

Tagged by @knightsofeclipse
Rules: Answer 21 questions (they don’t have to be the same questions) and tag 21 people who you’d like to get to know better.  You do NOT have to answer the questions if you don’t want to, even if I tagged you.

hiii im sooo sorry ive been away for a while i just wasnt feeling well 😓tbh punch has that signature nct title track sound that nonstop doesnt idk i feel nonstop is too cohesive? its not.. noisy enough i mean lmao it works really well as a b-side imo. also horizon as a title would be too powerful i dont think the world is ready for that yet 😳 it's one of my faves too it's just so *clenches fist* GOOD. oohhh dwc i see where you're coming from! no no youre right it does sound similar!! ~ 💚
mr seonghwa mr real life ken doll he is so perfect sis you have taste. i'm a multi but i dont know what it is w/ ateez i cant seem to pick a bias?? even after i've been stanning since pre-debut? i wanna say joong or maybe yunho but then again you cant leave out the literal devil reincarnated san himself but but!! wooyoung!! this era my man wooyung's been serving LOOKS!!!!! the album teaser just came out oohh oohh whats your fave track so farr?? ~💚
omg yk what i just realised. nonstop sounds like an evolved version of limitless aka nct's best title track to date. i see what you mean by saying it would probably chart better. i'm an idiot i apologise for my previous ramblings ~ 💚
you’re fine!! are you feeling any better though? no but i do kinda get what you mean about the sound? i would say punch is the most frankenstine-like title track with a lot of different textures too is (also superhuman’s bridge was like this but not the entire song).  i actually find nonstop to be a softer(?) version of limitless, it just doest have the grit in the synths and vocals/rap that limitless has!! i also feel like this is an extremely unpopular opinion but limitless is not my fave title 😬 like it slaps but its not my FAVE sdhjfsd
ohhh yes the world is not ready for that but man i love the live stages for that song that they did do, the choreo is amazing!! hwa caught my eye first and then he just stuck in my heart :’) but oohh yeah i get what you mean!! all the boys are amazing i can see why it can be hard to choose one at all~ i actually didn’t know the released the previews until you sent this LOL but not sure yet? maybe fever or good lil boy?? but i haven’t fell in love with of yet and i think it honestly may take a few listens of the entire tracks cause it’s a different style w/ the complete new era and everything for ateez. like they had a distinct sound with the treasure series and since that’s /all/ they have done so far that’s what my mind is expecting but!! it’s just different this time around :’) what’s your fave so far? this also happened with baekhyun’s candy comeback it took awhile for me to come around to it cause in my mind i still had the expectations of UN village and it’s just different from it but it’s still really good~

What traditional drawing tools/supplies do you use?
OHHH~!!! (O    w O) thank you for asking! i’ve used pretty much everything and anything over the years… but i’ve definitely narrowed it down to just a handful of favourite items in recent years!
Tumblr media
1) zebra M-301 .5 mechanical pencil - i LOVE this pencil (7O   A O)7 i love, love, LOVE IT! i’m sad when i can’t draw with it. i don’t use any better or cooler led inside than your standard .5 mechanical pencil led you get from Staples, but i just love how narrow and sturdy it is. the metal body of this pencil and the hard grip surface make it my all-time fav!
2) prismacolor premier fine line markers - i have use SO MANY expensive fine-line pens over my lifetime… UGG! and i’ve mostly hated all of them. very few of them held their line size over a long period of time or gave me the kind of true-black i was looking for. BUT OH BABY!!! i adore my prismacolor pens! they aren’t the most expensive and they don’t even seem that fancy, really! but the pen tips hold their shape great and the black is VERY black! i have yet to have a pen tip spread on me ~ something my very expensive copic pens did ALL THE DAMN TIME!!! my three go-to sizes are .005, .01, and .05!
3) staedtler mars plastic 526 60 eraser - has every artist owned this eraser? LOL! it’s THE BEST ERASER in my opinion! but!!!! i work exclusively in cheep, standard, HB mechanical pencil led! i can’t say what it’s like for other pencil types. but if you’re a mechanical pencil fan like me~ it’s THE BOMB!!! stupid cheep, available anywhere, and IT NEVER SMUDGES! at least, it never has for me! it also doesn’t ruin the shade of black pen lines as much as other erasers i’ve used. you’ll still lose maybe 10-15% of your blackness when you erase over it, but as long as the ink is dry i’ve never had a problem with smudging.
4) canson universal sketch book - i’ve had so many types of sketch books over the years… good gawd! and honestly… i mostly draw on computer paper these days because i draw SO MUCH that it’s a waste of sketch books! BUT! when i DO want to use a sketch book, my favourite is the basic canson one! the paper is pretty bright (i personally hate working on yellowish or greyish paper) and the tooth of the paper is pretty low. i don’t like a lot of texture because, again, i work entirely in mechanical pencil - so i don’t want a bumpy surface. it also takes ink well and is heavy enough not to bleed through for most uses. (though i always work with a backer paper anyway!) 
5) kneadable eraser - i don’t have a favourite brand yet of kneadable eraser… but i will say this… I CAN’T DRAW WITHOUT IT!!! my process is 100% dependent on having a kneadable eraser!!!!! if you’ve never used on before - F’n go out and try it! OMMMGGGG~!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUUUCCCHHH!!! for anyone who’s never used one, a kneadable eraser is… just that! it’s squishy and stretchable and soft! (you have to keep it in a box or package at all times when you’re not using it! else it becomes filthy and useless!!!) you can shape it however you need! for me though… i use it to “layer” my work! after i finish a basic sketch i use it to remove 90% of the drawing’s opacity by “sponging” away the pencil lines! this makes cleaning up the sketch SUPER EASY!!! then i can remove 90% of THAT version (thus pretty much fully eliminating the basic sketch) and cleaning it up again and again until i’m happy! then i take away most of the pencil layer again before i ink! making it ULTRA easy to see my lines! (too bad it doesn’t help me draw them back in in ink better! LOL!)
anddddd… that’s it!!! (O    w O) anything else i use is purely experimental, i am no longer a traditional artist… i made the switch over to digital too long ago… (T  w T) i don’t really know what i’m doing by hand anymore! it’s too frustrating not to be able to cut and paste, size and rotate things! i was never a perfect artist and drawing by hand makes it even more obvious! THOUGH!!! (-^   O ^-) i’ve been getting more and more comfortable since i broke my tablet like a month ago now! hahaha! as usual~ practice, practice, practice is what it’s all about! no two ways about it! LOL!
in fact! i just bought that sketch book in the photos a couple days ago~ and i’ve been braking it in with a piece of my newest OTP!!! (oO   w Oo) the hiatus has left plenty of time for games! and by “games” plural ~ i mean “game” singular… AKA… Persona 5 (no spoilers please!) (=   w =) hehhehe~ (MC) Akira / Yusuke ~ aka shukita is my jam (T   w T) omgggg… misunderstood criminal boy and soft artist boy… oh goodness… MY HEART!!!! WELL! (O     v O) there will be a bit more traditional work to come before i get a new tablet~ so thank you very much to everybody who’s hung in there with me! i can’t wait to be back in action! (T   w T) *feeble but loving hugs to you all*
Tumblr media
(this question is also from many days ago~ (oO AOo) and again, i’m so sorry! the Tumblr app didn’t send me any alerts about new mail! i’m going to check more diligently myself until my hiatus is over when i get a new drawing tablet!)

kat talks: circus
if you're unfamiliar, it's just my reactions to the songs/mvs. i'll update it with the rest of the album (including jpn vers) when they're out!
circus
okay so this is my second listen but i wasn't really paying attention the first time due to circumstances lol
is the opening... beatboxing? i think it is???
changbin never fails to impress i swear and also his HAIR
also the whispers >>>
HAHAHA the ??? the sound just before lix's part HAHAHA its such a *pokes tongue out mockingly* kind of thing like really childish
lix's outfit is my absolute fav i s2g
??? hyunjins??? tone???? tone or timbre i always get cONFUSED BUT I LOVE IT
side note but since oddinary i think hyunjin has really.. solidified (?) as a rapper? not that he wasn't a good rapper before (and who am i to say any of this, anyways) but his raps in oddinary (venom, muddy water) and in circus really have like. a Him touch to it (capital H for god Him Hyunjin coincidence i think not)
okay i never manage to explain this properly but i love the. sound distribution. idk. from the beginning to minho's "bring out the fire" and then to lix's bit. in the beginning, the sound distribution/layout or whatever goes from being very forward-central to then being closer to the centre but wider (like.. an amphitheatre???? like a U shape infront of the centre???) and then when it gets to lix's it becomes a very full sound (like a D??????) man idk okay 😭
imagine like. a netball or bb hoop right and the D around the hoop. the beginning is a line of three people standing at the top of the D, infront of the hoop, and then "bring out the fire" is a line of people along the D-line, and then lix's bit is everyone running towards the goal so that it's full??????????????????? anyways moving on.
idk what minho says between lix and hyunjin's bit but its the cherry on top ok
the prechorus WAIT i love. i love how jeongin's two lines descend at different intervals. um. im forgetting how to describe things. but like. the second time it descends differently. like it goes (incorrect notes) 1-6-4 1-5-3??? i think
side note 2: i want this so bad to be a c harmonic minor but idk i havent done the whole thing yet i've only figured out jeongin's prechor lines. but i dont think the songs harmonic :(
(update: it's... f.. minor???????)
seungmin's 'round and round and round and round' reminds me of. gods menu
WAIT wait was that the prechor or is sung's bit the prechor idk i LOVE love sungs bit
wait im so confused about the song structure i need tor elisten later AHHAA
the change when it goes to changbins bit??? digging it so bad man
why do they keep doing the cutouts of minho AHAHA i mean we love him
WAIIIIIIT SO sung's top is like. long. and has the detailing at the bottom and then theres a corset /over/ it OHHH i thought it was all attached JDKSDJK
also i love the bass in sungs bit and the way he ends his verse
MINHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO yes
circus so they included minho's nat geo dance thingy w the hands to clown him methinks (jkjk)
wait. jisung eyeliner?
chan maam who put u in that jacket and tie (?) combo 😭😭
CENTRE JEONGIN IS SO FUCKING GOOD
i love hyunjin's cropped blazer w the chain SOOOOO much more than the dual-texture (?) jacket blazer thing w the tassels
all the cropped blazers in here are making me crazy i love it
texture change for the bridge i love it and i love the texture at jeongin's bit even more like thats so GOOD the cymbal is NJDVKSNVSDK i love lvoe
shut up the shot of minho lowering the hands
YESSS THE LAUGH AND THE CIRCUS THEME
there are so many kids
WAIT. wait. i need to rewatch us (the movie) i htink it might be an us reference
overall i LOVE it and i would love to hear a drum and slap bass cover but i also would love to hear drum and slap bass covers of every song in human history so
your eyes
can't believe i'm subjecting myself to this mv again NJVFKVSK havent listened to it a second time since lol
young wings keys but sadder
the melody.. reminds me of smth... like. either slice of life anime ending or an extremely long shounen anime ending (im looking at naruto and fairy tail)
but hey hyun vocals <3 <3 <3
chans high notes <3 <3 <3
WAIT THERE ARE STRINGSS skz orchestra arrangements when (i can make a whople separate post about orchestral arrangements for skz songs)
@ changbins verse: that is a very tangy (i forgot the word but it sounds like tangy) guitar
but the transition between lix and bin's verses was so seamless wtf
sung rapping in semiquavers broke down the flow so nice imo. idk if i said that right
@ jeongin's verse... the backing vocals... chan...? but it almost sounds like minho when it's higher. the lower "ohh" sounds like channo
okay not that i don't enjoy the song but i just really dont have as much to comment on fndjskfdsj
(okay tbc w the other songs when they come out!)

Ham, Chicken, Macaroni, Burgers, Mozz Sticks, Candy, Mushrooms, Pickles, Somebody Cute
Thank you for the questions! This is going to be long, so brace yourself:
Ham: Which is best? Prey going down head-first, or prey going down feet-first? Or… something else??? 
Ah it all depends! Usually Iwould say feet-first, so that the prey has a visual impression of being draggeddown… But head-first is good too; when the prey is big enough to have theirlegs stick out of the pred’s mouth hehe.
A detail about this question Inever see being asked is about the way the prey is facing. I think it’simportant, as if the prey goes down feet-first laying on their stomach, theywill be facing the pred’s teeth/the opening of the mouth. If they’re laying ontheir back, however, they will be more concerned about the back of the mouthand their own bodies – in a sense, I feel like they would be more concernedabout what’s happening to them in this situation than the other way, as theywould focus more on the exterior/the way out!
When it’s head-first, I wouldsay that laying on their stomach is the only good way… thinking about laying onone’s back and being taken down by the head gives me a bit of a headache,really.
So yeah… feet first.
Chicken: What do you like to  happen to prey after they’re eaten?
I prefer that the prey is spatout in a safe fashion. That said, there are cases where I can conceive the preyto be digested, but that is only in “non-serious”/ “fun” scenarios, and thecharacters are more like background figures. In reality (that is to say, “inthe real world”) there is something atrocious about the fate of being eaten anddigested alive that I cannot stand (there is this gif/video of a pelican eatinga pigeon which still makes me sick). For this reason, I don’t really understandhow some people can say there is “irl vore” – for me, there are none if we areto define “vore” as something exiting, fascinating and that makes me happy.
If we are not talking aboutsafe/fatal and just assume that the prey will be safe, then there are lots ofpossibilities!
Sleeping, cuddling
Communicating with the pred(usually having deep/intimate conversations –better, having a discussion aboutthe current situation)
Exploring (the stomach is bestbut it can branch to the rest of the body as well – there was a time where Iliked for the prey to explore the upper part of the intestines, never full-tourstuff mind you.)
And many more :3
Macaroni: Your ideal predator/prey?
I largely prefer both to behumans, I know thatmany people prefer for the pred to be an animal or a furry because they feelbeing eaten by a human is weird. To be honest, furry vore dosen’t appeal to meat all (there are exceptions of course), an neither does animal vore; thelatter is probably because of its closeness to reality (as I mentioned earlier),but also because I feel that an animal wouldn’t have the ability to comprehendthe appeal of vore as such. Don’t get me wrong, I love animals, but I feel likethere is something more to vore thanjust eating something alive because of survival needs/because there is no othermeans than swallowing the prey whole. Intention is key here (watch mecontradict myself by saying I like unaware preds in 10 seconds).
I prefer g/t interactions. Thereis something very specific about this that I would like to develop in anotherquestion; but to keep it simple, I don’t really like absurdly (understand:wildly defying laws of physics) stretched bodies. I like to keep a tiny bit ofrealism. The prey doesn’t have to be minuscule, but same size is not somethingI enjoy (the exception being my boy jyushi, because he is an escaped looney tunesand does whatever he wants).
Burgers: How do you like the pred/prey to act?
This varies so much! It alldepends on the character and the situation. I usually preferprotection/friendship interactions, but as I said, there can be more maliciouspred that I enjoy as well. Willing/unwilling are good in both pred and prey!Same for aware/unaware… I would say that I still have a preference forscared/wary prey. What I don’t like are excessively cruel preds and prey that aretoo cocky.
Mozzarella Sticks: The way down to the stomach, is it a pleasant idea? Do you like the tightness, or do you want it to pass as soon as possible?
Ireally like it! It’s one of the best part in my opinion; I like the tightnessfor the prey and the pred feeling that something is passing through them, givingthem a sort of inverted awareness of their body…
Candy: How do you like prey dressed while being consumed?
I likethem to be dressed – although I prefer to ignore how inconvenient that would befor the pred. Having them completely naked makes me a bit uncomfortable.
Mushrooms: How much do you like the tongue on the prey’s body? Thoroughly scavenging every inch possible, or just glazing over them gently on the way down?
Uhhh it’s 50-50. I like a goodappreciation of the prey, taste, shape, texture, etc. but not to overdo it.Glazing them to make them easier to get down is good v//w//v
Pickles: Do you like prey being chewed, bitten, or gnawed?
Not really. Roughed up alittle, yes – all depending on the situation. But to actually hurt them is ano. There was an exception once, when I was going through a rough time and Ijust wanted my legs to be *metaphorically* cut off to make me feel “lighter”. Butthis is venting and stuff, so not a normal setting.
Somebody Cute: Who’s your favorite pred/prey?
Oh gosh, this is the time you’rereally going to get me to blush in front of my computer (∗∕∕•̥̥̥̥∕ω∕•̥̥̥̥∕) ok, so my favourite preds/preys are usually my favouritecharacters, because I don’t really have ocs… so here we go…
Because I’m currently in matsuhell: Karamatsu (both pred & prey) and Jyushimatsu (both pred & prey),simply my fav beans. Musclematsu interactions (not BL though!*)  make me melt, but I must say there is not amatsu I dislike, so I like them with any other bro too. They are the onlycharacters I can see having interchangeable pred/prey roles, as I usually liketo stick to a hierarchy.
(* I’m not necessarily anti-BLmatsu.I don’t like it and I don’t support it, but I accept that there are people whoenjoy these kinds of things (I mean, who am I to judge the weird interests thatother people have?? Hahahahahahahahahahahah….hah…). Sometimes, there’s somenon-sexual BL fanart that really melts my heart, but these are exceptions).
SnK/Attack on Titan: ohhh man…here’s the big one. I haven’t really got anything on here about it since thefandom activity has decreased (and I stayed away from it to avoid spoilersanyway) but hey, maybe good stuff will come out of February? God I love this seriesso much (both the manga and the anime, so I’m hyped). Because I’m a predictableass, my favourite character is Levi, and so, uh, as pred for Eren (who is mysecond favourite)..? (〃艸〃) (God I had to check, my face is entirely red right now) Again, not in ashippy way… I just want them to be close friends… a good brotp.
Lastly, I still love SoulEater, so Death the Kid (pred)? (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
