If FPK made a ranking of all the different places in Hallownest, how would it look?
Dirtmouth - no need to explain it really, it's his home and that's where all his loved ones and his community live. No other place could fit this spot. Even if it's affected by the weather, which often makes it quite cold compared to many areas underground, he still loves it.
Greenpath - his favorite hunting ground, even if his favorite prey, Tiktiks, only lives in the upper regions (though I imagine they do spread all over the area after the end of the infection). But there's plenty of other food that he likes - Mosscreeps, Maskflies and Squits, and the dense moss makes it easier for him to ambush them. Not to mention, it has one of his favorite spots to hang out in all of Hallownest (the bench surrounded by beautiful waterfalls and vegetation) as well as many branches to rest on.
Forgotten Crossroads - similar to above, he hunts there frequently (it has a very high population of Tiktiks and Crawlids and many other tasty critters). It's nowhere near as pretty as Greenpath, and there aren't many spots to rest of hide, but it's very safe these days. Sure, there may be more travelers he bumps into now, and that can be awkward if he's feasting on a Tiktik when it happens, but at least he's close to home.
Fog Canyon - not the safest place for those who aren't careful, but thankfully he knows not to bother its inhabitants. My vision of it may include more paths that are safe to travel than we see in the game, so it is a relatively non-dangerous place if you avoid the acid pools. So once you learn to watch your step, you can really appreciate the beauty of the place. FPK likes to stop by whenever he visits WL in her Queen's Gardens mansion, and watch the Oomas and Uomas floating around peacefully. It's quite relaxing. Plus Monomon's archives are located there, so that's definitely a point of interest for him.
Queen's Gardens - he avoided the place for a long time out of fear of confronting WL, but also because of the presence of the Mantis Traitors. But he did eventually meet her, and after she freed herself and moved back to her old mansion, he started visiting her from time to time. The dense and beautiful vegetation has its charm, though there are still many thorny vines around so that makes it quite irritating to navigate through. And as much as he wants to be on friendly terms with WL, he finds her presence intimidating (and it reminds him too much of his emotional pain he experienced during their marriage), so being in the area does make him a little bit uncomfortable, and that's why it would be below Fog Canyon.
Howling Cliffs - there's plenty of Tiktiks and Crawlids to catch and eat, but the area is very difficult to navigate, with many steep cliffs and dangerous trails. Not to mention the wind - it's located on the other side of the mountain, which doesn't lead to an enclosed valley like where Dirtmouth is situated. That means that the region is noticeably colder, so he only travels here in search of food. The road that goes through the newly renovated mountain tunnel (and connects Dirtmouth to the Howling Cliffs) does make reaching this hunting ground very easy and safe, but the cold usually discourages him from it. Plus his potential food is much better at climbing cliffs than he is, so he's much better off hunting elsewhere.
Resting Grounds - a very peaceful area, though not one he visits particularly often. He mostly goes there to pay his respects to the ones who passed, especially the dead Dreamers - he leaves little offerings at their shrine to thank them for their sacrifice. Its safety is the main reason why it ranks higher than many other regions.
Kingdom's Edge - a very similar situation to the Resting Grounds, it's lower on the list due to the more dangerous fauna, the distance from home, and the somber reminder of the fate of his species in the form of his old corpse. If he travels here, it's to try to remember more details from his past life, but also to catch young Hoppers - their bodies are filled with blood of their prey, and that makes them a tasty snack for Grimm, especially if he's unable to get it otherwise.
The City of Tears - while it is in a much better state than during the infection, it's still very dangerous - the criminal activity is high, and many of the bugs that recognize him as the old king don't like him very much. He prefers to avoid confrontation, so he rarely visits the city, usually only at Lurien's invitation or to visit a particular shop, and only when he's accompanied by Grimm. Definitely not his favorite place, but when he's safe with Grimm and ignores the occasional mean comments, it's not the worst.
Crystal Peak - a beautiful, yet very dangerous region. He only visits the little area you can get to using the Dirtmouth lift. The crystals are very beautiful and he likes to bring chunks of them home as little gifts, but other than that there isn't much for him to find there.
Fungal Wastes - he doesn't like the smell of fungi very much, and the whole area reeks of it. So that's already a huge reason for him to avoid it. But another big one is the Mantis Tribe - while he doesn't get attacked on sight by them, he still prefers not to get on their nerves, and opts not to disturb them. Aside from that, there's just no reason for him to go there - the mushroom of the Mushroom Clan are sentient, so they're obviously off the menu, plus again, he hates the smell (and probably wouldn't like the taste).
The Hive - an area he's not welcome in, so he doesn't go there so as not to bother them. He heard that the hive is raising its new queen, so he does hope to eventually be on good terms with her, but until then he avoids it.
Deepnest - a very dangerous area that he almost never visits. He would go there to pay his respects at Herrah's final resting place, but it's too dangerous to reach it. And the critters there are too risky or too big to hunt.
Ancient Basin - his first hunting ground after waking up from hibernation, though one he was very happy to leave behind. As you'd expect, there are many painful memories associated with this place and its subregions, so these days he only visits it to leave small gifts at the shrine he made for the vessels at the Abyss entrance. He stays there for a little bit, and then leaves as soon as he can. The Palace Grounds are an area he tries to move through quickly on his way from the Stag station, he doesn't like thinking about it.
Royal Waterways - its placement at the very bottom might be surprising, until you remember what the area looks like and that he's terrified of deep water. The region is flooded, the air is gross and smells horrible, and the only creature that he would enjoy eating is the Pilflip. But all the deep, terrifying water just isn't worth it. It's a disgusting area, he shudders at the mere thought of it, and avoids it like a plague. If there was one place that he would want to visit, it's the Junk Pit - there's many trinkets and other interesting objects he could use in his workshop. But the path to reach it is simply too terrifying for him, so he's very thankful that Hornet offers to travel there for him.

TOUCH ME AND LOVE ME
Tumblr media
words: 500
genre: mostly fluff and slightly suggestive
pairing: gn!reader x geto suguru
summary: you were tired from the day and wanted nothing more than sleep until you opened the door and saw geto’s beautiful smile.
Tumblr media
THE RAIN poured down as the thick drops hit the window next to Suguru who wondered when you’d be back home. As if you knew he was missing you, he heard you putting the keys on the lock, turning around to see you.
But he wasn’t prepared to see a tired version of you, that was looking so drained and without the usual stars you carried on your eyes.
“Baby… What happened?” He quickly approached you with worry in his eyes, the fading light from outside making his eyes shinier than usual.
“Just a bad day” You mumbled as you gently put your hand on his soft cheek “…But it’s better now that I am here with you”
After saying these words, the brightest and most sweet smile appeared on his face “Come here”
He pushed you into his chest, as he wrapped his arms around you tightly. You sighed, listening to his peaceful heartbeat while your hands traveled along his back to make sure you wouldn’t miss a thing from this moment.
He removed himself from the hug, making you frown “Do you want me to cook something for you? You must be starving-“
You stopped him, placing a finger on his lips “I don’t want anything else except for you”
A laugh escaped his lips, a joyful laugh that echoed in your ears and made you smile as well “I see even when you’re tired you just can’t stop being a natural flirt”
His hand went to his head as he untied his hair, shiny black long hair falling to his shoulders.
“That’s not fair” You pointed out. Suguru knew too damn well that your weakness was seeing him with his hair down and now he was teasing with it.
“What’s not fair?” He asked innocently as you let out a gasp when he grabbed you by the waist with a strong grip.
“This whole thing” You said “But two can play that game”
Your hands quickly grabbed his hair, smashing your lips on his. He hummed in response, as the grip he held you in got tighter. His lips were soft on yours, he tasted like mint, probably because of his favorite gum that he always carried with him.
While you wrap your arms around his neck, deepening the kiss, you two didn’t even notice you had been walking until you two fell on the bed.
“Ow!” You both said at the same time, as Suguru hit his head on the wall and you hit your hand that tried to attenuate the fall.
You looked down, your face an inch away from Suguru’s. He raised an eyebrow and you two just started laughing, the whole situation making you relax and lose some tension.
Taking the chance, you laid your head on his chest as one of your hands caressed that area, tracing the outline until reaching his collarbone. He let out a soft sigh, pulling you closer to him.
“Nothing feels better than cuddling with you after a long day” You whispered, feeling yourself start to drift away to dreamland with the comfort of the man beside you.
“Sleep well, my love. You deserve it” He kissed the top of your head but you were already in a deep sleep, his words seeming far away.

KnB 30-Days Challenge
Day 5 : Your OTP
Tumblr media
🍍 Miyaji × Hayama ⚡️
Many consider this a crack ship. It is mostly because the characters have less than 5 minutes worth of interactions and those interactions aren't really special or cheesy in any way. So, where exactly does this ship come from? What exactly gave us the shippy feels? Personally... I don't know. I was thinking about it a lot, but I seriously have no idea. One day I just woke up and I shipped them. And I still do. It has been around 7 years since this is one of my favorite ships, and I have no clue how it all even started.
Still, I would love to share my views on this very unlikely couple. More precisely, I would like to explain how I think their relationship started, what their relationship looks like, how long their relationship lasts...
After the Shūtoku-Rakuzan match in the WinterCup, Kiyoshi just couldn't stop thinking about his opponent for the game. Kotarō was just incredible and talented, and Kiyoshi hated how useless he was against him. He loved basketball, and that defeat hurt him deeply. Instead of sitting in his room and crying about it, he decided to practice more, become better and face Kotarō again. This time, he would do better, not necessarily beat him, just not feel as useless. He promised that to himself!
He was a graduate student at that time and when college preparations, graduation and all the formalities hit him, he had no choice but to forget about facing Kotarō for a while.
When college started, everything went quite well for him and he continued playing basketball. Practicing harder than ever, one day, he felt ready, and all he had to do was meet up with Kotarō. It was easy! Kotarō was pretty pleasantly surprised when Kiyoshi sent him a message, and he quickly accepted to meet up with him in Tokyo. After all, Kotarō is a pretty social and friendly person and making another friend is something he always looks forwards to! He was also summoned for a rematch in basketball, and that sounded pretty fun!
They met up that weekend and played some one-on-one. In the end, the result was similar to the one from almost a year ago. Kotarō easily won, except that this time Kiyoshi felt better about himself and did a better job. Of course, Kotarō noticed that, so he complimented him and expressed that he would love to play more with Kiyoshi. At that moment, Kiyoshi felt pretty proud of himself, and of course, he agreed to have more matches with Kotarō!
They would meet up on weekends, when both found time to see each other and travel to each other's cities. They had so much fun with each other playing basketbal that they started seeing each other more often. After some time, they started doing other things, like going out to cafés, going sightseeing in the area, going on walks... Being in Kotarō's presence was like a drug to Kiyoshi. He was such a positive guy, always smiling, always searching for ways to have fun, he was so funny and adventurous and hanging out with him after an exhausting week was so refreshing... Seeing Kotarō became something that he was looking forward to every day and his go-to plan for every weekend.
Though, Kotarō was a graduate student this year, and he and Kiyoshi started hanging out less and less since he couldn't find enough time with all the college preparations. They were both pretty sad about it, but there was nothing they could do other than accept it. Kiyoshi realised that his life was rather boring and dull without Kotarō, and he took some time to reflect on how he really felt when he was around him. He was always pretty happy, but also a little nervous, he wanted to be around him a lot, he really cared about his opinions, he wanted to see him smile, impress him by making a good joke, looking good or playing well, he talked about him a lot and now he was thinking about him so much... After Googling his symptoms the almighty Internet diagnosed him with having a crush. Well. That explained everything.
Every time he got a message from Kotarō informing him he has time to meet up over the weekend, his heart would skip a beat. Ever since the day he realised he might have a crush, every time they saw each other it was just becoming more obvious to him. He was really crushing hard. He didn't really want to make it that obvious though, so he started acting a little... Tsundere. He really thought it was a good mask.
At last, when the college stuff was over for Kotarō, they could finally see each other all the time again, and they were both so excited for that! The greatest news ever struck Kiyoshi when he saw Kotarō right after his finals. He wrote in a college in Tokyo! Now, that meant that in a couple of months they would live in the same city and could hang whenever they felt like it.
That time came by soon, and ever since the first day Kotarō moved in, they started hanging out almost every day. But what was Kiyoshi supposed to do now? The more time they spent together, the more he was falling in love and the harder it was for him to wear the fake mask. He would make the first move now, but he was not sure how Kotarō felt about them.
Kotarō knew Kiyoshi liked him, it was painfully obvious. Though, at first, he only loved the attention Kiyoshi was giving him, how Kiyoshi was always so excited to see him and how he looked at him with some strange eyes. After some time, he started finding it cute, and he loved seeing Kiyoshi like that, so silly because he had a crush oh him. It was a little funny how he was trying to hide it and failing miserably, but it was still so sweet! He grew to really love being around Kiyoshi, he loved feeling important to someone and he always felt so appreciated and loved, he also thought Kiyoshi was smart and cool and pretty... He soon figured out that he probably had a litttle crush as well!
Great! Well, Kotarō knew that they both liked each other, and Kiyoshi seemed too unsure about making the first step, so Kotarō decided that he was going to do it. It wasn't that hard for an easy-going person like him.
'Hey, I know you like me, you can stop pretending you don't. You know, I really like you, too... Wanna be boyfriends, maybe?'
Kotarō said that on a completely random day, in the most random moment ever. Of course, after hearing that Kiyoshi was rather confused. Kotarō has known all along? He liked him, too? He thought he was dreaming. Before he collected himself and opened his mouth to say something, he felt a hand placed on top of his.
'Sooo, what do you say?'
Kotarō was looking up at him expectantly with his eyes shinning. Kiyoshi's words failed him and all he could do was just kiss his cute face. And just like that, they became boyfriends!
Just like every relationship, the first few months were just incredible. Magical. They were so in love, they were getting along really well and didn't argue much, just bicker from time to time, they had a lot of fun, went on cute dates, bought each other gifts, went places together, they had told their friends and everybody was supportive of them! It was just like a dream! They really, truly enjoyed being with each other... Until life hit.
Ever since the moment Kiyoshi knew Kotarō was his boyfriend, the silliness of having a crush was slowly, but surely, starting to wash away and now that it was secured that Kotarō loved him, he felt comfortable with being himself. His irritable side, that he didn't really show that much before, was starting to become more and more prominent. A Kiyoshi in a bad mood was not something impossible that Kotarō couldn't stand or deal with. He knew his ways to cheer his sad partner up, or calm him down when he was angry. Kotarō was pretty tolerant and really tried his best to be a good boyfriend to Kiyoshi in those moods. After all, they were a couple and they promised that they will always be together, in happiness and in sadness, understand each other and love each other. He had a lot of patience and loved the relationship.
Though, Kiyoshi's moods kept getting worse and worse, mostly because of college and stress, and Kotarō, who was also in a similar situation with academic pressure sitting right on his lungs, who was in his first year of college and had a hard time adapting to the new pace of life, started slowly losing the patience. They started fighting more and more and bickering over little things all the time. Since they are both rather short-tempered, in the heat of an arguement they would sometimes say things they didn't really mean, especially Kiyoshi with his foul language, and hurt each other. Kotarō was not exactly honey, especially when he felt attacked, so whenever Kiyoshi would hurt his feelings and attack him, his vengeful side would wake up. It wasn't anything special, because Kotarō didn't really want to hurt the person he loved badly. It was some small things, but it was still unpleasant.
They knew things were done when they stopped apologising to each other and created a lot of negative energy. Still, they decided to talk. They really wanted to do something about the current situation, save their relationship somehow. In the end, they agreed that they loved each other and cared for each other deeply, that they had a great time and enjoyed the relationship, but that it was probably just the wrong time. They agreed to part ways for a while, maybe it would turn out to be forever, but they couldn't know that.
Congratulations if you are reading this now and thank you for your patience. This is the shortened version but still it is too long, I promise I won't write a post this long again!
Anyways, this is how it goes in my head. I really tried to explain a lot of things here because I found that my view of this ship is quite different from the common dynamic. I enjoy this ship like this. I quite love the idea of them just being young adults and having fun, forgetting about their not so good past where Kiyoshi had one sided beef with Kotarō, but also finding each other because of it. I also live for the idea of Kiyoshi having a soft spot for someone and becoming this silly confused dork, something very unexpected and unusual for him. The most obvious person that anyone would have a soft spot for is a person like Kotarō. He is just like a puppy, or a kitten.
Still, I can't see them last long, no matter how much I love them. After the 'everything is perfect I am so in love phase' they just learn they don't naturally get along. They are too similar in that one way: short-temper combined with pride. When their arguements break out and they hurt each other with their words, sometimes they feel too much pride and just skip the applogy part. Even if they feel really bad about what they said... Also, college is tough, especially in first year when one is supposed to adapt to this whole new schooling style and, in Kotarō's case, whole new city. Naturally, he went a little crazy. Kiyoshi is always a little crazy so that is why their arguements start getting bad.
Maybe it is good for them to just have fun for a while and then ditch the relationship idea. They could just be friends. Though, who knows, maybe later in life, when they are not so crazy and are more stable and more mature, they could meet up again and fall in love... Still, this is good for me, I like it like this.
Note: The characters are a little OOC and I am very well aware of that. I have been putting sprikles of my personal love experiences and struggles into this couple over the years, because it is my comfort ship. ✨️

you mind sharing you thoughts on dc x genshin? maybe some gunbug as well 👀?
I have two major genshin x dc aus
My archon bats au
And my jaime gets transported into teyvat au
With some ramblings about jason and jaime playing genshin together thrown in lmao
My archon bats au is my biggest one
This is going to be Long
This is all of the art that ive done for the archon bats au recently, i also posted abt it earlier but eh, beams it down
I also messed around with some of their titles
ALSO their "god names" are their vigilante names basically
Like dick would be referred to as nightwing in worship by the church of mondstat
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anemo archon dick because of the whole performing aspect as well as yk FLYING graysons, i had to
Also he can save people from falling now hehe
Geo archon jason bc zhongli was brutal during the archon war
Electro archon talia bc the ideals of eternity feels very much like something that talia would lean towards, and then that leads to damian as wanderer, which is very OW I love it so much
Lil baby duke which i partially pulled from batwheels as the dendro archon, he's the first one i thought of and nahida has a thing about analogies and what's analogies but poetry
Tim as furina is just AAA gives me life, he's Red Robin's humanity and has to play the part of being a god and instead of being behind the camera, he's in front of it, and he's hoping that none of the thousand words that a picture is worth sees through him
Bruce as the hydro dragon sovereign is kinda a no brainer bc he's all JUSTICE and impartiality and also the melusines are his CHILDREN istg he cannot stop being a parent
The archon quests would pretty much play the major beats the same, but the small details would change, like dick doing trapieze and aerial stunts instead of being a bard like venti, or jason being careful with his spending and paying attention to how much mora he uses and makes, or inazuma being based off nanda parbat
ANYWAYS onto my jaime genshin au
Basically during a fight he gets thrown through a portal to teyvat with no way out on his end
Khaji is dormant for a while, so he's mostly on his own
He settles into liyue and gets a primary job as yanfei's law partner and does odd jobs just for extra mora on the side
He travels sometimes, but he can be content a little, given that he gets a grasp on how teyvat works and how theres not really targetted dimensional travel
He gets a vision, his ambition of practicing law carrying over, and he would basically be like a anemo claymore yanfei, if that makes sense, if he were in the game his stacks would carry over and become yanfei's stacks if that would even work idk im just brainrotting
He's kinda an oddity but not really as known as a traveler as much as, well, the Traveler
He's just vibing and surviving until the justice league notice and pinpoint him and collect him jaja
Onto my gunbug genshin stuff
Jaime's main team is cyno, yanfei, chevrus, and lisa, and in coop it's just cyno and yanfei
Jason's main team is navia, nahida, kokomi, and hu tao, in coop it's chevrus and hu tao
Half the time jason brute forces with just navia and since he has her built it works
Jason goes to jaime's world while jaime's farming scarabs and he just hears gunshots as jason mows down sumpter beasts while farming meat bc surprise, jason loves cooking in genshin
Jason's favorite area is flueve sindre and jaime's favorite is between port ormos and chenyu vale
They absolutely take the boat rides in chenyu vale together in coop
Its law
Jason is a dramatic mf and whenever he has coop turned on he changes his pfp and card and signature to be a character and then just sits at a place where the character frequents
Like sitting chevrus at a bar in fleuve ceandre
Or navia in Poisson
Gunbug in general is just AA they're so jsjsj
Ive seen jason as a social worker and jason as a social worker with jaime as a lawyer is so AAAA
Jason and jaime stumbling into their shared apartment after patrol and jaime cusses him out in spanish while patching him up bc jaime has a healing factor and jason doesnt but acts like he does and it is infuriating JASON BENDITO SEA DIOS
Like jason will STEP IN FRONT OF JAIME AND TAKE THE HIT FOR HIM
Jason is turning jaime grey jajaja
Tysm for the ask im currently going feral

Can I ask for questions thirty through forty for Rosla, maybe? Hope you’re doing well!! 💚
send me asks for my bg3 ocs!
30. How does your Tav react when someone insults their friend/partner?
She immediately goes on the defensive, which while Shadowheart appreciates her being so defensive of her honor, she reminds Rosla that she can insult them just fine on her own. The rest of the group (by that I mean Astarion) find it hilarious to see her making someone MUCH taller and bigger than her cowering from her words - even without using Vicious Mockery. By defensive I mean insults and words but in more extreme cases I can definitely see her getting physical - after all, she is at a prime height for hitting extremely sensitive zones...
31. How does your Tav dress for different occasions, like very fancy situations?
Having been part of a fairly well-known bard duo, Rosla does have a few more fancy outfits for occasions where they would have performed at more upper-class functions. These usually consist of dresses in her preferred color palette - greens, blues, and earthly tones.
32. How did your Tav get their scars, if they have any?
She has some minor scars from accidents while cooking and I also imagine a few from wounds acquired during the journey when she isn't able to get a potion or help from Shadowheart in time.
33. What is your Tav’s relationship with their family?
Her entire biological family is dead and she was raised by a halfling family friend, who she had a falling out with when Rosla revealed she was planning to become a bard. She hasn't spoken to the older woman since then. Before his passing, her bard partner was a father figure for her that she was extremely close to.
34. What is your Tav’s opinion on nobility and authority?
I can see her mostly having a neutral opinion except for cases where it's clear the nobility or authority are corrupt. Then her view turns more negative.
35. How does your Tav react to wearing the Wavemother’s robe? How do they react to their partner wearing it?
She can't keep her eyes off Shadowheart when she sees her wearing it. It's bad enough that Gale full on throws something at her to get her to stop staring. Astarion and Karlach never let her live it down. Rosla would also totally 'accidentally' trip anyone who tries to leer at Shadowheart in the robe if they're out in public. If Rosla wears it, it's similar - Shadowheart stares at her. Only difference is I can see Shadowheart NOT liking others watching Rosla and tends to stick close by her and full on being ready to murder someone that tries anything.
36. What is your Tav’s favorite type of environment? Like in a tavern, a library, out in the wilderness, underground, etc.
Home. Cozy, fireplace, well-stocked kitchen. Her and Shadowheart run a farm after the events of the game and I can see her loving the atmosphere and being surrounded by so many animals (Scratch, Screech - the Owlbear cub - Us and ofc I totally see them adopting Yenna [+ Grub] and Arabella after the game).
37. What would your Tav’s Zodiac sign be?
I can see her being either Gemini or Cancer!
38. What is their favorite season?
Autumn or spring. Best time for growing and also in autumn there's many unique dishes that can only be found during the time.
39. Where in the world does your Tav want to visit the most?
While part of the duo, Rosla traveled up and down the Sword Coast. But I can see her being curious about the rest of Faerun and even wanting to explore areas like the Underdark or even if possible Avernus because one of the most defining characteristics of her is her curiosity.
40. What is the biggest mistake your Tav ever made?
I'll have to get back to you because honestly I have no idea, though I'm sure there's definitely one. In an AU setting I can see it being letting Shadowheart fulfill her desire to become a Dark Justiciar.

7, 22 and 25 for bushmed! for that ask game hehe. lets HEAR IT then
WHEEEE OMFG CC ASK.... YEASSSSSSSS HEHEHE picks up my quill... lets get to it
7. Who is the more romantic one? surprisingly(?) i think sniper. once he's comfortable in a relationship he has nooo problem doting on his partner! sniper's a listener by nature and loves picking up on small details or things about medic (i wrote a mini fic about sniper breeding exotic/poisonous plants for medic bc he mentioned offhand that he'd love to have access to them but doesn't have time to grow them himself) that could be translated well into romantic gestures!! i think sniper heavily considers like... concepts of what romance is ("giving medic Evil Plants is romantic") whereas medic's superpower is just making anything romantic ("we're going to go look for bones postgame together it will be romantic no matter what!") if that makes sense! part of my fics is sniper figuring out that romance is a very subjective concept that's defined by the relationship itself, not by conventionality! and once he learns that it comes decently easily to him i think hehe!
22. How do they apologize after arguments? honestly i think they both went into the relationship knowing that they have other priorities, lives, etc outside of Medic X Sniper (LOL) so i don't see them Truly Arguing a lot. most of the time if things are shitty they just work through it as best they can. However i think sniper is the less emotionally mature one, but both are pretty prideful. medic can sometimes not be so aware of others emotions (whereas sniper is very aware of others emotions) so sometimes clashing is inevitable. i think medic would hand out apologies as long as you could explain to him like "hey this is why this upset me" and he'd be like "ohhh! i never thought of it that way! i apologize!", whereas getting sniper to both Admit Fault and articulate how he feels might be a bit of a challenge sometimes... but that's okay! medic is patient and ultimately loves learning about his partner so sniper can take all the time he needs :) i imagine they'd take a little bit of space from one another to think about how they feel and then when they come back together they have little "gifts" for each other (usually some kind of Favorite little treat that can be shared. coffee, a snack, etc) and talk it out!
25. What is their dream home? Do they buy a place together? Who plans the decorations and who does the heavy lifting? AUGAUGAUGUAGAAAAAHHHH ive put a gross amount of thought into this for someone who thinks that them "truly settling down/retiring" is fairly unlikely... however... if i'm being indulgent... i think their dream home would be something p simple, subtle, nothing Extravagant. somewhere on the coast somewhere (germany or australia; neither are opposed to either one!) where they can make it their own. sniper could (and Would) build a small greenhouse and a place for medic's doves to play safely... they'd have a garden and could/would be entire self sufficient, but still within a decent traveling distance to a town/city nearby if need be (in case medic brings sniper home greasy fast food after he knows he's been working on the house all day and sniper could weep with joy KSDKDSF)... medic would Leap to decorate the interior... i think they'd both have pretty similar decor styles... medic would insist that sniper's taxidermy is displayed (and all of medic's fun little Oddities In Jars), they'd have a small lil library/study area for all of their books and instruments, a fireplace would be an absolute must...
and of course they'd have a little car park for sniper's van :') who is mostly the retired one of the three of them! <- they'd laugh about that probably... medic is super hands on and would be following sniper around being like "mhmm. aha, and what do we do next! can i help!" and it would be Truly something they'd build Together... their mantle would have the lil urns of medic's doves or hootsie when they pass.. a rack with some of sniper's mum's blankets she made (i don't think he'd keep a LOT from his family but blankets seem like something he'd swear he wasn't gonna take and then would frown and grab them and bundle them under his arm and put them in his van :'( sdkfkd)... like i think it would Very Much be Both of their spaces...
one of my favorite things to think about is that i think their bed would be against the wall... and sniper would sleep against the wall... like in his loft bed in his camper ykwim.. just a sweet little "comfort" thing that medic just took it upon himself to be like "we only need one night stand! you should sleep against the wall :) trust me!" and it just sticks.... bc medic knows thats just a little Thing about sniper that he knows sniper would like... hehe... AUGAOGUAOGUAAAAA

I saw that you got your first question so I just wanted to pop in and give you another one saying hi.
And as for a question what would you say is a good resource to start with as a newb?
Tumblr media
Well hello!!! So nice to get your question and wonderful greeting 😊
As for my answer, it really depends on what you mean by "newb " so I'll give you some of the best resources I can find for both newbie players and dungeon masters.
In general, there is one YouTuber that talks about all things tabletop that I swear by and that is Seth Skorkowsky. This man talks about all things tabletop! From Dungeons and Dragons to Call of Cthulu to Traveler to Cyberpunk- you name it! He has a series of videos that talk about the different types of players and dms and the common mistakes that both can make. I recommend checking him out. I've linked his channel below.
Another great resource to start is the Player's Handbook and the Dungeon Master's Guide. Now, I know what you might be thinking. Yes, these are pretty obvious answers, but you would be surprised with how many people I've played with who've never bothered to pick up either.
If you have some time to kill and are up for a comedy campaign, one of my favorite YouTube campaigns is Dimension 20's "Fantasy High." It's basically Dnd but set in a fantasy high school. The College Humor crew does a great job entertaining while showing off the game itself.
Other than that, if one has Facebook there are plenty of Dnd centered groups that welcome players (and dms) of every skill level. Being a woman, I personally have found community in several groups on Facebooks platform that are both global and local to my area. I've linked below and LGBT+ inclusive group that has become one of my favorites. Here people can post their games if they're looking for players, share their stories, and just be an overall positive group for everyone in it to enjoy.
There's plenty more resources out there for newbs and I hope you get the chance to explore them all one day, but until then here's a good place to start.
Happy Adventuring!

Meet the Cast: Bandana Waddle Dee
Our next one in the Meet the Cast section is Bandana Waddle Dee. This one is actually fun to write, especially playing a guy who secretly has anxiety but doesn't let that stop him from staying loyal, to friends or to family.
--------------------
"Well, my turn isn't it? Let's get this done."
Tumblr media
Basic Information
Name: Bandana Servician
Age: 12 [by the start of Planet Robobot]
Gender: Male
Orientation: Questioning
Hometown: Archeon Town, West Area, Neo Star
Species: Waddle Dee
Ability: Spear
Job: Servant to King Dedede, adventurer
Other names: The Loyal Servant, Bandee ("This nickname was started by His Majesty... then everyone starts calling me like that. I'm fine with that, actually, in fact, I like it!"), Shortass ("Robobot used to call me this. I hate this name. If anyone outside them tries calling me this, I swear...")
Alignment: Lawful Good
One of Kirby's closest sidekicks who willingly joined him after being rescued in a different war, he's always there whenever Kirby gets into shenanigans without absence, whether it's to help His Majesty King Dedede or to give back-up to his best friend. It's usually both. While he probably doesn't initially show it to strangers, he is as loyal and fierce when it comes to his duties to help. His spearmanship is one of the best amongst other waddle dees, and thanks to a small upgrade on his spear and some magnetic gloves his long range lets him to get away with commencing or defending ambushes from the front and back. It also helps that he is the nimblest member of the team, making him the team’s go-to stealth person. 
Detailed Information
Goals/Motivation: "I want to keep up with everyone and be as beneficial as I can to the community. Look, I get that I shouldn't overwork myself, Kirby and Robobot complained about it, but hey, I want to be able to stand on my own when I'm alone, and I HATE having to hold everyone back! I need to be the best I can be, so I can keep helping people along the way."
Hobby: "Cooking - it's something I always do at home. I love trying out new recipes from time to time, it definitely helps during travels when your choices are more limited. Especially when His Majesty and Kirby both enjoys food. Also, watching as people enjoy my cooking makes me feel warm."
Favorite Food: "I love apples. They are healthy and some say they keep the doctors away, but mostly, they are quite flexible! I can use it in a lot of ways, like apple juice, apple pie, apple cake, apple wine, apple candy, the list goes on. I love working with this ingredient too when I'm cooking! Definitely a must-have for me."
Least Favorite Food: "I don't have many preferences, but if there's one ingredient I find it hard and scary to work with, it's bitter melon. I am yet to find something that is good and acceptable by all with that specific plant, really..."
Favorite Game Type: "I don't play games often, but I find cooking games actually relaxing. I also enjoy puzzles from time to time!"
Habits: Uses softer censor of words [fiddlesticks, fudge, etc], tends to avoid using his bandana to clean himself ("Hey, I don't want my bandana to get dirty on purpose!"), tends to hide items in his bandana for use
Other Liked Things: "My bandana is a gift from His Majesty King Dedede! He said that it'd look cute on me. It was a honor to wear it everyday. I also have a pin that Captain Waddle Doo gave me to keep the bandana tight and well-kept. Also, I had to give the bandana some ornaments so that in case there are impostors, they will find it harder to mimic me and my no-longer plain bandana..."
Secret: Tends to sneak out to train by himself outside when no one is looking. Robobot Armor tends to come with him sometimes to spar together, but they are a wild card and sometimes reports it to everyone else anyways. He also tends to steal food from Dedede's Castle during incidents, something which Dedede actually knows but decided not to tell anyone, which means that yes, Bandee doesn't know his king knew what he did.
Relationships
Best Friends: "Kirby is my first friend, so he counts. Then Robobot Armor joined us. Honestly, both are equal, just like how he sees both of us the same way. Though, I still prefer Kirby around since I stuck with him the most!"
Rivals: "Is it funny that my rival was Robobot Armor too? Well, we used to be bitter rivals, it's a long story, but now we're cool with each other. We still show some... friendlier shades of that, but it didn't stop us from working together as a team!"
Enemies: "Any enemy to my friends and the king is an enemy of mine too! Also, I don't really like Marx."
Family: "I do have a family, since I was raised in Neo Star. I have 2 siblings and a mom. My dad passed away when I was very, very young, so I don't remember him as much. Though, they are all nice! I do send them letters once a week when no incident happens..."
Crush/Love Interest: "With confidence, I can say I don't have any... yet. Kirby, on the other hand... Well, let's just say EVERYONE CAN SEE IT KIRBY! You don't have to lie~!"
Skills and Abilities
Overview:
Bandana Waddle Dee has practically the Spear ability moveset. However, there's an explaination for all that spear-throwing and pulling this time. After a certain incident in the war, Kirby slotted steel on Bandee's spear's handle to make it magnetic, which he can control with his (admittedly stolen) magnetic gloves. As the result, his range was made bigger than ever. He tends to act as the team's walking spy as he is pretty nimble and runs faster than everyone else by far.
Strength: Bandana's speed and stealth skills become invaluable for the team in various ways. He can run around and do precise attacks, and since his weapon is, well, long, he made sure he can use it to his advantage such as propelling himself to high places, disarming opponents ahead of time, or just cause sudden ambushes. He also can do a fair bit of acrobatics to back it up.
Weakness: While he is fast and experienced in causing opponents to stop and think for a second on how he can be that quick to put opponents down, he is prone to attacks that hit hard. One mistake and he could suffer from the amount of damage he gets in one go. He also finds it hard dealing with machinery-based foes unless Kirby directs him to their weak points to expose.
"It's nice to meet you, by the way. Do you need anything? I'll be glad to help in that case!"

Deathloop is what happens when Dishonored meets Myst.
A while back, I bought Deathloop only to find that it wouldn’t play on my machine. More recently, I bought a new machine. Being able to play Deathloop wasn’t the reason I bought it, but having something that could play modern games (including for the next 2-3 years) certainly affected my selection criteria. This past weekend, I finally got tired of the other games I had been playing and put that long-ago purchase to use.
Mostly, the game play feels like Dishonored, which is my favorite franchise BTW. It’s pretty classic stealth-game stuff.
Hide in shadows and plan routes carefully.
Sneak up behind enemies and stab them.
Snipe enemies from long range.
Collect trinkets that give you extra powers.
Enjoy some of the same furniture as in the predecessors (plus one “easter egg” reference that I won’t spoil except to say it appears very early on).
There are some differences, of course.
Long-range sniping isn’t silent with a rifle like it is with a crossbow. It usually (but not always) attracts attention.
On the other hand, bodies always disappear conveniently, which required a special ability (or two) before. Yay, no more stuffing bodies in dumpsters and closets to avoid detection.
No sleep darts or other ways to render enemies unconscious. Just killing.
No rats, no weepers, no bloodflies, etc.
No money to find and pick up.
No drop assassination. This mechanic was always slightly ridiculous to the point of self-parody, but oh so fun. It’s the difference I regret the most.
Some of these changes are clearly simplifications to make up for the extra complexity on the Myst side.
You’re on an island, with multiple distinct areas.
You have to solve puzzles, some of which are quite visual and complex. It was discovery of one such that led me to recognizing the Myst connection.
Some of those puzzles require going back and forth between different areas to get information or pieces.
Time travel is involved, so sometimes you have to do things at a specific time.
Like every other game since, having little bits of lore scribbled on papers etc. is part of the fun.
It’s a bit of a surprising connection, especially since Myst quite explicitly eschewed violence while Dishonored fits firmly into the “murder hobo” category, but it really works. This might well become my favorite Arkane title. Unfortunately, it’s likely to be the last that’s recognizable as such, since they just got acquired by Microsoft. That’s not just generic MS-bashing, which I’m more than willing to do on other occasions, but their strategy regarding games in particular doesn’t seem very consistent with Arkane’s boutique feel and there have already been some significant departures. Let’s see if Redfall can prove me wrong.

Yo i think Sumeru may be my favorite region. I dont have a favorite region yet (altho Liyue always feels like home) but looking at some of the preview of the update on Hoyoverse and also just. The fact that we've had so little information about Dendro as an element...
Also. Look how pretty the oculus is!!
Tumblr media
I'm always a sucker for plants and Dendro's whole thing of course is. Plant. So like. A win.
Tumblr media
The two enemies shown in the Hoyoverse preview look so neat. The electro Reginsivine is something I didnt realize we didn't have, so having it here is gonna be so cool. It looks sharp and badass but also just really pretty.
Tumblr media
The terrorshroom..... I want to pet it. I need to be friends with one. We haven't gotten to ride anything yet except the waveriders and uuuuuuuh I just think it would be neat. Its free real estate, yanno?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Two new artifact sets are both beautiful. I'm not much of an artifact farmer or anything like that and these aren't really much of an exception unless Collei needs them, but theyre so pretty and as I receive them from, yanno, runnin' around and doing the domains or whatever, I'll be glad to admire them.
Its also interesting that both artifacts have names to do with memory and dreams. Hmm.
Tumblr media
The weapons........ are so pretty. I have never really wished on the 5* weapon banner, and I dont really think I will this time even, as I'm intending to save for Kokomi. That being said, if I save enough primos and wishes... I may be interested. But its unlikely.
4* weapon set is also gorgeous!!!
Tumblr media
I would love to use these and so I hope that as I wish, they all eventually come home. They're really pretty though. I dont think I've ever really noticed there were sets of weapons like this before. Are there other sets and im just oblivious? Probably. Thats ok.
And the new characters from Sumeru being released are all gorgeous, the three here included. Of course, im frustrated that a region based on the Middle East area doesn't have more characters with darker skin tones, and I also don't love that the lighter characters are colonizers that accuse the darker characters (natives of the land) of idk misusing the land or like just being in general of bad moral and character.
Dori looks super fun, I think she must be a teen-aged size. I feel like she's gonna be sassy. I love some good sass. And I can't perfectly tell but is she a catalyst? Either way, super neat.
Collei and Tighnari are both gorgeous designs as well, and I like that they're both mostly simple. I like the flow and the colors. It makes sense, as they're part of the forest ranger groups, and would need camouflage. I'm 90% sure I'm not going to wish for Tighnari, as Collei will be our free Dendro and so far hes just not that interesting to me. Even if he's interesting in game play and story, Kokomi has evaded me twice now and I could really use her on my team, mostly for some variety outside of Zhongli, so. Unless I have plenty of primos and wishes for Koko on the last day of his banner, I won't wish for him. I'm at 60 pity so the next ten-pull i may get a 5* and I dont want to win 50/50 on Tighnari. Will I regret not pulling for him? Potentially. But thats a bridge to cross for another day and Koko is someone I passed up on her first banner and since then I've wanted her. So bad.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overall, im super excited for Sumeru and the next act in the Traveler's story. I'm excited to meet the archon and all the other people in Sumeru, not to mention exploring the gorgeous region and get the hang of the new reactions, element, and enemies.

(this is a pretty long post, but it’s mostly pictures lol)
Since a few people have enjoyed my last couple posts about weird terrain in my survival world, I decided to fly around in the spectator/creative mode copy and screenshot some of my other favorite examples, like this one!
Tumblr media
Some of these are definitely from the transition between old and new terrain (for anyone who doesn’t follow me and know already, I made this world in 1.17 and have just been updating it since), but a few are well beyond that threshold.
For village-related ones beyond the threshold (like this first one) I think villages generate sooner than the terrain does when you travel near an area, so then when you update and get close enough for the terrain itself to generate, the game still tries to stick the village there even though it shouldn’t be there on the seed anymore. That’s my best guess, at least!
Anyway! That’s enough rambling, on to the pictures!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(^ one of my favorite weird villages)
Tumblr media
(^ this one even has a floating torch)
Tumblr media
(^ this is another example of being past the threshold of old-to-new terrain blending, but still generated a little wonky anyway. I think since this is a world I’ve been updating it effects the proper new terrain as well a bit)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(^ in 1.19, this village is entirely on land in a savannah, but in 1.17 there is no village here and it’s a frozen ocean! Hence the random snowy/ice patches I guess lol)
Tumblr media
(I’ve found a solid amount of landlocked ocean ruins like these tbh)
Tumblr media
(^ the shallowest “warm ocean” ever lol. I only know that’s what it is because tropical fish spawn in it constantly. There’s another landlocked ocean ruin directly behind me here as well)
Tumblr media
(Weird exposed dungeon)
Tumblr media
(Weird exposed dungeon 2, but this spawner is totally empty and it’s on a blending boarder so it’s got the stairstep thing going on. I’ve found at least one other like this!)
Tumblr media
(cool horizontal line underground anywhere I already explored in 1.17 from when the new, deeper terrain just got tacked on to the bottom)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(this is an old find, but a favorite nonetheless. The village is one of the kind I mentioned that’s completely normal except it has no villagers or mobs)
Tumblr media
(this one isn’t from weird terrain blending. The outpost generates exactly like this in a brand new version of the world. I just think it’s neat lol)
Tumblr media
(trail ruins, apparently)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I’ve shared this one a few times but it’s still just so wacky lol. This upper ravine ends at Y0 because generated in 1.17, but then a few blocks below that there’s a continuation ravine in the same shape that also goes to lava)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(biome stripes)
Tumblr media
(w a t e r  c u b e)
Okay I think that’s more than enough for one post lol. There’s definitely more I could share if I flew around enough to find it tbh. One of my favorites underground is when an aquafer gets cut off by a cave and there’s just this massive, flat wall of water!

The bunnies’ other jobs!
From my bunny cafe au
((I am so peeved :((( I had this all written out!! And I deleted it by accident!! Darnnnnn!!!))
Anon asked “You mentioned that some of the bunnies have day jobs so do they all have jobs outside the cafe or just a few?” (Something along these lines…again…I deleted it by accident 😔)
👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕
Diluc/‘Angel’
After his father got bored with the wine industry, he passed the whole company off to Diluc on his 18th birthday in order to shift his focus to mining. Diluc found himself swamped with all kinds of business decisions while just barely being an adult. He expanded the company and hired some very trustworthy people to handle things for him so he could finish college
When the business was given to him, Diluc and Kaeya had an explosive fight over it. Kaeya felt like he deserved to have some say in what happens to the business, he’s still a part of the family! But Diluc refused to let him in on any decisions so Kaeya packed his bags and left (not before cussing him out in front of their father, staff and business partners). He was just in a silly, goofy mood. They’re fine now, not on the best terms but they do chat and meet up for lunch on occasion.
He is filthy rich, he couldn’t spend all of his all of his money if he tried, so he doesn’t really need the job at the cafe! Kaeya got him the job because he knew his brother was stuck in a weird, antisocial funk and needed some fun in his life
Diluc loves this job, he has a great time, but it isn’t his main job. His priority will always be the family business!! If he has to quit his job at the cafe, he would in a heartbeat
👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕
Kaeya
Kaeya was going to go into the police academy but was scouted out by a modeling agency. They had seen him at Ragnvindr company events and thought ‘well damn’ so they gave him a pretty generous deal
Kaeya makes a good living off of modeling, the tips and paycheck from the cafe. He rakes in cash pretty quickly just cause he knows how to get it. That, and his dad sends him checks every other month as well. Kaeya thinks of it as ‘I’m sorry’ money. He isn’t wrong
He doesn’t travel much for modeling, which he doesn’t mind, so he kinda just hangs around the city with a lot of free time on his hands between photo shoots. That’s why he got this job at the cafe! It gives him something to do and it’s fun as hell ;)
Albedo
Bedo is one busy bunny. He finished college early and is getting his masters degree online. He works most days at the cafe and on the weekends, he tutors other college students in bio/chem/science related subjects
(He was actually Xiao’s tutor back when he was failing chemistry!! Xiao is very thankful for Albedo’s help!!)
His dream is to become a biochemist, he’s always been interested in cells and what makes up living beings. So having a career in that field would make him the happiest man alive
His mother and sister live outside the city in a more rural area so he spends a lot of time FaceTiming the two of them! Klee is always so excited to hear about Albedo’s experiments or the people he’s met while working in such a bustling, fun city :)
Zhongli
Zhongli is a simple man! He’s a bunny waiter and an artist
He creates intricate pieces based on folklore from different cultures, focusing mostly on dragons. His favorite medium is paint, he loves painting on glass and layering the panes in order to create a 3D piece
He sells his works to galleries, shops and anyone who wants them! As long as they appreciate the story behind the artwork. Sadly…He undersells his work. He could def be making more money but he just does not desire money or material goods the way others may
So he got his job at the cafe in order to help out his dear friend Ningguang, not for money, he only planned on working there for a month or two until she got more bunnies but…he ended up really loving the people he works with :’) he looks forward to working with them now and texts/calls them outside of work to meet up for lunch or bowling (such an old man thing to do omfg)
Dainsleif/‘Sweetie’
Dain was a bouncer at another bar before leaving to come to Celestia’s! He’s good friends with Beidou, they belong to the same motorcycle club so when she was talking to him about the lack of security at the cafe/bar, he stepped in to help out
Little did he know…he’d actually become a bunny…And like it
This is his full time job now, he doesn’t have another for the time being. While he is a bunny at the cafe, he still keeps an eye out for any threats to his coworkers and has access to the offices upstairs (Ningguang’s office and the security office)
When he isn’t waiting tables, he’s upstairs in a tank top and sweatpants keeping an eye on the security cameras and talking to the other security guards through their ear pieces
Ajax
Ajax is a student who doesn’t really have much time on his hands
He mows lawns in the summer and he’s quit his job as a cashier to come work at the cafe! He mostly works night shifts his cause he’s still going to school aaaaaand he’s on his college’s swim team! He’s about to graduate so he works close with his coach to help train the others on the team
He doesn’t really want his family knowing that he skips around in a skimpy bunny outfit and fucking customers most nights but I mean…They’re bound to find out if they see him in pictures people post
Xiao/‘Tofu’
Xiao is an art student!! He wants to be a tattoo artist :)
He’s already got one sleeve of tattoos, it’s unfinished but you can’t really tell just by looking. When he isn’t at the cafe, he’s either in class or shadowing Ganyu, his best friend and tattoo artist. Their art styles greatly differ, she focuses her craft on cutesy, colored tattoos, but she is skilled. And Xiao looks up to her
Xiao admires Zhongli too, they met at the cafe and when Zhongli found out Xiao wants to be a tattoo artist he told him that once he’s licensed, he wants to get a tattoo from him :’)
Baizhu/‘Honey’
Baizhu is a (mostly) full time pharmacist, hence why he isn’t usually at the cafe
He also has a niece, Qiqi, who he babysits often. He loves her very much so he has no problem watching her! Baizhu will even bring her to the pharmacy with him when he’s swamped with work. In the break room, he has a play kitchen, coloring books and a bunch of puzzles to keep Qiqi occupied while he works :)
When he’s not at work, he’s at home resting. He has chronic pain flare ups in his back and shoulders that can make life miserable :( he has plenty of good days that outweigh the bad! And as a pharmacist, he has access to any medicine he needs to make his life easier!
Dottore(Alain)/‘Doc’
Alain’s an oral surgeon who’s a little bit….too into his job
He isn’t phased by blood or gore so he’s easily able to conduct procedures that would make other squeamish. He’ll pull teeth, put in dental implants, remove rotten tissue, any of that without even flinching
Outside of that, he works at the cafe. He wears a mask in order to avoid being recognized even though at his job as a surgeon, he’s usually wearing a medical mask anyways. It’s just a precaution
This has nothing to do with his career but he used to be a tap dancer and actor so he’d join in on local theatre shows! He helped build sets when he wasn’t rehearsing. He doesn’t have time for that anymore (which kinda makes him sadddd) but he has all kinds of theatre playlists on his phone and in his car that he’ll sing along to
Scaramouche/‘Boss’
Scara’s job at the cafe is his main job! His side job is something you may not expect from such a grump
He works at an animal shelter! In fact, he brings cats home to train so they have an increased chance of being adopted. Someone is more likely to adopt a potty trained, socialized cat than a feral cat who doesn’t know what a litter box is. So Scara brings them to his apartment for some one-on-one socializing, training and cuddling
One time he offhandedly mentioned working at an animal shelter while he was working at the cafe and sure enough, three separate customers from the cafe came by to adopt!!! Only one actually took an animal home but he was still surprised that those people had listened to him and cared enough to come by
Scara is a jerk most of the time but when he’s at home…by himself…With a lil kitten sleeping in his lap while he plays games on his PC…Yeah, he softens up a bit
So as you can see, we have a very diverse group working at the cafe! They’ve all learned a lot from each other, come to appreciate each other’s friendship and come to help each other out when one of their coworkers is in need or upset.

A few days have pasted since the male's last visit to the Golden House. The weather didn't show any signs of sun. The ceremony drew nearer and nearer. Soon, the events to pick the bride or groom would commence.
No exorcist could even come close to the place. There were many stubborn and overly confident ones that have tried, but to no avail.
Which family would it be? Who will be the one to get sent off to the Golden House, as the bride or groom?
✼ •• ┈┈┈┈๑⋅⋯ ୨˚୧ ⋯⋅๑┈┈┈┈ •• ✼
Liyue had events that would take place.
One, was the well known lantern festival for Lunar New Years. People would spend time with their family and friends. Games, food stalls, filled with happiness. Joyful times for the people that took part in the celebration. As well as releasing lanterns at night. 
Two, would be the choosing and wedding ceremony for the spirit attached to the Golden House. These were mostly filled with grief. Families fearing for the life of their children, hoping that it won't have their family name on the slip of paper being picked.
About a two weeks before the choosing and a month before the marriage ceremony, people would start to planning of the event. Listing out everything that was needed. Having traditional clothing for the marriage on hand, the timing for both parts, times to use as offerings, the host(s), along with ideas of foods and drinks getting made for the event.
(M/n)'s family usually took part in the clothing, jewelry, and any other accessories. Helping to provide fabrics for the male or female wedding gown, fresh make up supplies, jewelry, any type of hair piece, along with anything else to prepare the bridge or groom. Also, having fabric out for a male wedding gown to get burned off in place for the ghost.
✼ •• ┈┈┈┈๑⋅⋯ ୨˚୧ ⋯⋅๑┈┈┈┈ •• ✼
Soon, the choosing began. The people of Liyue gathered. Names of the different families have been craved onto sticks and placed in a jar. There was a table set up, with variety of foods, incenses, flowers, and other Liyue specialties. Red and gold decorated the area, everything was falling into place. Soon a family would be chosen for the wedding.
Not long after everyone has gathered, Liyue's leader stepped forward to start the ceremony. There were lots of people in the crowd, praying that they didn't have to give their kid away to the cursed spirit.
"We are here today, to find out who will be the chosen one for this traditional wedding. When the family name is acquired, may I ask for the head of the family to step forward to retrieve some items, along with announcing which child within the family it will be. 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻."
There was a large can of sticks, each stick being engraved with a family's name. The can was shaken up and down, which ever stick fell out, the family who's name is engraved will be the one providing the second part of the pairing. The crowd was silent as their Leader raised the can you and down in front of her. A group of sticks raised above the rest, but one remained up and out while the others fell back, and it dropped to the ground. The sound moving through the crowd.
She picked it up, raising to her feet, "the (l/n) family was chosen, the head of the family please come up for the items and to announce the partner of the marriage."
The boy stood in the far back to the crowd froze apron hearing his family's name being spoken out as the chosen. He hoped he wouldn't have to go, there were many things he still wanted to do. Seeing the beautiful of the world and acquiring any new type of knowledge he could because he had a passion for learning what he didn't know. He wasn't focusing on the speech his father was giving the crowd, he just wanted to go somewhere far away from what seemed like his home. Not catching much of the conversation, his father's words snapped him out of his inner thoughts.
"— as much as it hurts me to say, the son, (M/n), will be the one becoming the groom for this occasion."
The crowd was silent. Great. He knew it, nothing would change how he was viewed by his parents. He knew what his father said about his was a lie, his father and mother would gladly jump at the chance to remove him. His fate was now sealed, he was going to get married off in about one month. No one to save him, he could run away from it all, but it wouldn't feel right to push what he had to do onto someone else.
He didn't know what else to say beside replying with, "I accept my fate. I accept the responsibility that was placed onto myself. I will do my best."
No one smiled. No one was clapping. He was like a small sunshine around the harbor, but now his fate was decided. The only ones happy were his parents, the smirk of victory they felt when they no longer have to house that child they find horrid.
✼ •• ┈┈┈┈๑⋅⋯ ୨˚୧ ⋯⋅๑┈┈┈┈ •• ✼
He had about 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 before he would be married off. It was quite ironic to him, the place he found comfort in would also be the last thing he would be seeing in this life time. His time was now limited, so he wanted to make the most out of it. He traveled to places he loved, manipulating his hydro vision to teleport during some of his travels.
He now about 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 of time left after traveling to some and most of his favorite places. He wanted to spend the time he had left around the harbor. Helping people, petting the dogs, cats, along with spending a bit of time here and there relaxing in the Golden House. 
There wasn't much to do or even say to his family. He knew his parents were quite delighted to get rid of him for good, while his siblings were a hit or miss. He also wanted to visit a few more people before completely departing from Liyue. He never had any friends his age so there wasn't anything for him to say either. He wished he had at least a few friends to hang out with, but the kinds never talked too him.
✼ •• ┈┈┈┈๑⋅⋯ ୨˚୧ ⋯⋅๑┈┈┈┈ •• ✼
During the two weeks he had left, he would vividly remember dreams from the night before. Dreaming about things that was hard to understand, yet it seemed like all the dreams were related.
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ 𒆙 ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
There was a table, surrounded by seven people. Their faces being a blur, but one figure stood out. A small pony tail of gold and brown hair through the back of the hood worn. The conversation was also a blur, not many words were heard.
❝ 𝙤𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙪𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙚 ❞
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ 𒆙 ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
A large rock dragon, next to it was a standing man figure. With the same hair colors and hood, staring out at Liyue.
❝ 𝙖𝙯𝙝𝙙𝙖𝙝𝙖 ❞
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ 𒆙 ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
It seemed to be the archon war. Rock like spear formations were falling from the sky. There was a figure in the sky. That same exact figure, again.
❝ 𝙞 𝙖𝙢 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮 ❞
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ 𒆙 ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
There was a female figure standing beside a male figure. Beautiful as the night sky. Bright as the sun. The male figure gazed at her.
❝ 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙯𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙜 ❞
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ 𒆙 ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
The male figure looked a bit different. The hood was gone, now dresses in most black, gold, and brown. The hair color was beautiful as always. Plus, there were three other people a what seemed like a flying pixie.
❝ 𝙬𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙠 ❞
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ 𒆙 ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
There were three others along with the same male. There was a blond male that seemed to have appeared before. The other two figures seemed to be the yin and yang of each other.
❝ 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝙖 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙡 ❞
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ 𒆙 ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
The man now stood there. Staring at who knows what. Time seemed to slow around him, he was in deep thought about the what he had just overheard.
❝ 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙙𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 ❞
✼ •• ┈┈┈┈๑⋅⋯ ୨˚୧ ⋯⋅๑┈┈┈┈ •• ✼
There was one week of times left. The (M/n) could fit some of the visions together, but he was never truest sure of what they meant. He wanted to find out more. So, he decided to spend his remaining time learning about what happened in the past, and more about the archon that once ruled one of the seven nations, who was the geo archon.
Books, stories, tales, anything he could find on the geo archon. His room soon filled with multiple books relating to Morax, or Rex Lapis. He was learning to much. The geo archon never failed to surprise him with his actions. Sure the geo archon could have been merciless at times, but there were things he also agreed with.
He understood quite a lot to his surprise. He also looked for first person stories when he ran into a few adeptus with his time left. He wanted to learn so much more, yet his time was so limited.
"My time is almost up, yet I want to learn so much more about you. I wonder, would I be able to talk to your spirit, or would I have an instant death. A heart is stone is still a heart, is it not?"
The boy closed his eyes, with those as his final thoughts about Rex Lapis, along with what might happen to him as he was the one to get married off.

It's finally done. Hope you enjoyed it, and I
also want to thank you for the support.

The Only Exception

Pairing: NishinoyaXReader
Words: 2.2K
Summary: Nishinoya was genuinely happy with his life. He’d gotten used to being by himself and had accepted the fact that that was how it was supposed to be. Until you came along and threw everything he thought made sense out the window.
A/N: I really like this fic. It’s one of my favorites Nishinoya ones so far just because it’s his pov and timeskip and the amount of love feels makes me happy. i got a lot of serotonin while writing it :D
Masterlist
Nishinoya had never been someone’s first choice.
He knew that sounded dramatic, but it was just a fact of life. The sky was blue, Tanaka could chug three-fourths gallon of milk before vomiting, and Nishinoya was never anyone’s preferred option--which never bothered him so keep the pity to yourself.
He learned to accept this when he never got scouted for the All-Japan Youth Camp and after the only person Nishinoya ever even kind of loved ended up loving his best friend. It taught him to keep his expectations low and to focus on things he could control, which was what led him to solo-traveling Japan and then the world. He realized things might be better on his own, and with the constant itch that he was missing out on something bigger traveling alone just made sense.
But then you came and ruined everything.
Hold on. That came off way more aggressive than Nishinoya wanted. He meant there was a perfect vision for how his life would go-pyramids in Egypt, Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, deep sea fishing in Italy-until he toppled over you in the streets of Italy. He’d been sprinting toward the docks when you stepped out of a marketplace and he collided into you, knocking you flat on your butt and sending your groceries all over the sidewalk. Nishinoya fumbled through his best apology in broken Italian while shoving produce into your paper bag, but froze in surprise when you snorted rather than began an enraged lecture.
He swore his heart actually stopped when your eyes met. You were clearly amused by his flustered behavior and when his heart started back up it was abnormally fast. Not once had he understood what Tanaka meant when he explained the first time he’d seen Kiyoko, but the first time Nishinoya saw you everything Tanaka said clicked. If Nishinoya had been fifteen he probably would’ve proposed to you on the spot.
But he wasn’t, so instead he shakily handed you your groceries with furiously red cheeks.
“Come ti chiami?” You asked with a raised brow.
Nishinoya blinked several times. He racked his brain for what he’d been taught on his last fishing trip, but it was mostly curses and inappropriate sayings he should probably avoid using. He was pretty sure Duolingo mentioned ‘chiamo’ as name though.
“Nishinoya?” He answered like a question and felt relief wash over him when you nodded.
“What are you doing this weekend, Nishinoya?”
He stared blankly before pointing at you with wide eyes, “I understood that.”
“Well you obviously don’t know Italian,” you rolled your eyes and he pouted at the incredibly accurate jab, “so, are you free?”
He looked around the empty street before pointing to himself. “Are you still talking to me?”
“Is there another Nishinoya around here?”
“I mean, there could be.” He looked up thoughtfully. “The odds would be crazy though.”
You laughed lightly which made a warmth creep up his neck. “I’m talking to you. I’m trying to ask you on a date.”
He looked at you like you’d grown a second head. “Why?”
“You’re attractive and you seem nice,” you cocked your head to the side. “Is that not a good reason?”
He stared at the ground intensely. “I guess… It is?” Then his original reason for being there struck him and his eyes widened. “Oh shit. I have to go,” he started leaving before quickly coming back. “Wait, I, uh, yes. Yes to the date thing.”
You chuckled, pulling a cellphone from your pocket to let him hurriedly create his contact before continuing his sprint to the docks-with a teasing recommendation not to knock anyone else over. That literal run in was the moment his entire world view became out of whack.
It wasn’t that he thought he was immune to liking someone-high school Nishinoya fell for any breathing human that gave him attention-he just lost the ability to imagine someone liking him. Maybe he’d been by himself too long or maybe that was just another fact he’d grown used to. He didn’t know anymore.
He did know that when he showed up at the restaurant thirty minutes early-there’s only so much pacing someone can do before they go insane-he hadn’t expected to see you. Just sitting on a bench beside the main entrance, looking too perfect while bouncing a knee and nibbling on your thumb nail as if you were nervous to be there.
Except it was only him, so that wouldn’t make sense.
“Hey,” you said when you spotted him standing in the middle of the sidewalk like an idiot.
“You’re here,” he raised a brow. You took it as the time, but he meant it in a general sense. He truly hadn’t expected you to show up.
“Oh,” you chuckled awkwardly, twisting the material of your clothes. “Yeah, I was kind of nervous.”
He mulled that over for admittedly too long, but it just seemed like such a stupid thing to say. It wasn’t that you looked stupid, but that’s what made it so confusing.
“You’re also early.” You pointed out when the silence became awkwardly long.
“I was nervous.” He said like it should have been obvious.
“At least we’re starting on equal ground,” you said with a shaky breath.
Equal ground? He wasn’t sure his brain was cut out for this type of critical thinking. He’d even spent the past few days planning for every scenario-even you sneaking out the bathroom like in the movies-but he never pictured you being nervous.
“Uh, yeah,” he tapped against his leg while glancing through the window at the half-filled dining area, “we can probably go inside.”
“That’s probably a good idea,” you gave him a quick finger gun before whipping around with shoulders to your ears.
Nishinoya blinked several times before looking back down the street. A part of him thought about running, saving you both from the shitty date to come filled with awful conversation starters he’d pulled from an online article for high schoolers. However his fate was sealed the moment you sent a gentle smile over your shoulder and his feet began following you through the door without his permission.
Ever since that day he’d been waiting for the other shoe to drop. Ever since you giggled behind your hand instead of wincing at the terrible jokes he regretted the moment they left his mouth; ever since you weren’t burdened by the need to translate for him the whole night; and ever since you were amused rather than annoyed at his nervous rambling and awkward icebreakers.
It was just too good to be true.
Like the first time you came over and teased him for the cheesy dialogue in his favorite action movies. How his chest ached when your head rested in his lap and you gazed at him with overwhelming amounts of affection. He’d never dreamed he’d have this-couldn’t have if he tried. Sharing his favorite things with someone while they traced designs against his palm and occasionally sealing them with featherlight kisses. The fire it sent up his arm was too much and not enough and he hadn’t realized how much he’d wanted this.
It was a little scary how much Nishinoya didn’t want to lose it.
And that thought started keeping him up at night. Nishinoya was never really scared of anything-it was kind of what he was known for everywhere he traveled. If anyone needed something done they asked the foreigner with a death wish. So, the idea that you had that effect on him was, again, terrifying.
But what was Nishinoya supposed to do when you press your forehead against his in the middle of the night? Running your fingers through his hair and paying special attention to the blonde strands he’d always been secretly self-conscious of, whispering low how they were one of your favorite things in the world. How could he regret anything when you rubbed your nose lazily against his and kissed him softer than he ever deserved? He didn’t give a shit how scared he was if it meant he could stay like this, with you, for as long as you’d let him.
Because his heart raced a million miles a second when you mindlessly held his hand under a table or leaned against him just to be close. Because for some reason he was the first person you called when you were excited or when you needed comfort. Because when he rambled too long about spearfishing or an old friend’s volleyball game your eyes lit with genuine interest rather than annoyance. And because he was in love with you.
Which he both wasn’t prepared for and had known was inevitable. Falling for you had been like getting hit by a semi-truck he’d seen coming for miles.
It probably happened sooner than socially acceptable, but that didn’t surprise him given his all or nothing nature. This outcome was decided the moment Nishinoya knew he’d be fine with you breaking his heart a hundred times if it meant he could keep waking up next to you cascaded by the rising sun because he was still too lazy to invest in curtains. Just you cuddling closer to him for warmth in your sleep would make every ounce of pain worth it.
Once Nishinoya’d acknowledged his feelings it was nearly impossible keeping them down. With every breathtaking smile, or brush of your hand against his, or bubble of laughter that rang throughout his apartment it nearly spilled from his lips like a breath. It took all self-restraint he had to hold it back. And it wasn’t that he didn’t want you to know because you deserved this piece of him-every piece of him.
He just wasn’t sure you’d want it.
His resolve lasted nearly a month-a month longer than he thought he was capable-before the feeling was too intense for him to keep down. And it wasn’t anything drastic that made him break. No, it was something so absurdly casual that he was almost pissed at himself when the words flowed from his mouth.
It had been a completely average morning, nothing crazy, the weather was actually gross with rain pounding against the windows and the sky a depressing shade of grey. But then you stepped out of his bathroom while rubbing the sleep from your eyes, giving him a lopsided smile before slurring a soft request for breakfast. It was like time froze and he was in a stupid romcom except you were there so it was actually an oscar nominated masterpiece.
Your head lolled to the side, half-lidded eyes filling with concern at his silence. “We can cook together. I didn’t mean it like-”
“I love you.”
That seemed to wake you up. Your body straightened while your mouth hung open in stunned silence. Nishinoya had expected this kind of reaction, so he clenched his fists tight in preparation for the worst.
“Are you sure?” You asked, barely above a whisper. “That’s a pretty serious word, Noya.”
He knew that. Nishinoya had spent too many nights losing sleep over that.
“You scare me,” he confessed, deciding if he was going to dig his grave he might as well make it deep. “I’ve never really been the one someone chooses. More like deal or settle with.” He grimaced when his heart squeezed painfully in his chest, “but I love you more than I thought I could ever love anyone and that scares me. You make me feel wanted and I don’t know what to do with that.”
“Because I do want you.” You whispered and his stare locked on yours so quickly, meeting your loving gaze while his heart started racing. “And everyone you know must be really stupid because I feel lucky I got to choose you. I get to love you.”
He stared at you wide-eyed while his chest swelled with so much emotion he was surprised he hadn’t passed out.
“Sorry, that sounded really lame.” You placed a hand against your forehead and Nishinoya shook his head vigorously.
“I think that was the greatest thing anyone’s ever said to me.”
You stepped closer and cradled his face, gently brushing your thumbs along his cheeks. If he wasn’t so manly and awesome he may have teared up, but he definitely didn’t. Which was why you obviously weren’t wiping any water off his cheeks before pulling his lips against yours.
Nishinoya set a languid pace that turned desperate when you tangled your fingers in his hair. He pulled you as close as he could, which was never enough, snaking an arm around your middle and sliding one to cradle the back of your head. 
When it got heated enough that he decided he’d very much like to move it to his bedroom Nishinoya’s stomach growled and you snorted against his lips. Nishinoya pouted, whining when you pulled away with a playful smirk.
“Later,” you said, pinching his cheeks and waving his head around. “Food first. We’re both hungry.”
He did love food.
He disrespectfully watched you leave him in favor of searching the fridge for food that could be thrown together for breakfast. A dopey smile covered his lips because he loved you. He was lucky enough to get to love you. And for some ridiculous fucking reason you were dumb enough to love him.
He would do whatever he could to keep it this way. For now, that was helping you cook breakfast. Tomorrow, who knows? But whatever it was you would be there, so it would be pretty god damn amazing.
