SIGN ME UP FOR FLOYD CUDDLE SQUAD! yanFloyd, alphaFloyd, don’t matter I’ll cuddle them all TwT precious boyyyyy

Let’s combine two good things: yandere Floyd and alpha Floyd!!!

(cw: yandere, nsfw, unhealthy behaviors/relationship, captivity, omegaverse/abo)

Living in captivity with alpha Floyd is difficult, not only because you can never predict how he might act next but also because he’s an alpha and you’re an omega. Floyd doesn’t often realize how strong his pheromones are, so if he’s in a certain mood and he releases plenty of pheromones without intending to it might overwhelm a sensitive omega such as yourself. Floyd doesn’t think of you as weak when you’re affected by his scent and presence. Jade will because he enjoys the control aspect and the thought that natural biology has dealt players certain cards and you just happened to get a weak hand. And Azul finds it easier to keep you docile (if he himself is an alpha). But Floyd knows you’re your own type of strong and he respects that.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t think when he’s angry at you and he emits enough pheromones to force you into fearful submission. He has to learn to be more patient with you and he also has to get better at thinking before acting, which is new territory for him. Floyd does his best, though. He tries to be lighthearted about everything, tries to tell you that it’s not so bad to be here with him because he’ll take care of shrimpy. And though these promises may seem genuine (and they always are), it’s hard to believe or trust them when his mood switches so quickly.

There’s also the issue of heats and ruts. Floyd has never cared for any of the medicines that suppress heats or ruts, but if you insist on it he’ll buy you the medicine you need. If you don’t verbalize that you want to suppress your heats, he’ll just think you’re fine with experiencing them while you’re here with him. Floyd really wants to help you out; he’s actually a little saddened when you insist on taking heat suppressants because he wants to be good and help his shrimpy. He’s supposed to be your alpha, after all! So it puts him in a bit of a dejected mood when you make it so clear that you don’t want or need him like how he wants and needs you. He could get angry at you for that (in fact, he has and he’s thrown most of the medicine out in the midst of his frustration), but now he tries to take a step back and accept it without complaint.

If you don’t suppress your heats and yours finally comes after a month of living with him, he has to really force himself to behave. Floyd is actually really good at holding himself back if he’s actively choosing to exercise restraint. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t tempted. He’ll pace restlessly before the chalk line, constantly asking if he can help, let him help, he wants to help, does shrimpy need any help? He’s relentless with whining his questions, but he doesn’t force himself into your space. He does play a little dirty, though. He’ll emit his own pheromones until they’re mixing with yours so nicely, until they’ve overwhelmed your senses. It makes him feel...not happy when he sees you struggling on your own on that mattress, pressed against the wall and curled in on yourself.

It might look like he’s handling it well (or about as well as an alpha possibly can when a needy omega is in heat right before them), but he’s actually struggling to keep it together. His hands are balled into tight fists, his nails digging into his palms hard enough to draw blood, and the sting is enough to ground him in the present. He’s also terribly hard, and he wants to deal with it so badly but you come first. His instincts tell him that his shrimpy is more important, that he has to take care of you before his own needs, and he wants to follow these instincts. The need to protect you, to lessen the stress and discomforts of an unbearable heat, to bond with you so that your following heats won’t be so bad is ever-present. You’re all he can think of; your sweet scent hangs thick in the air, surrounding him entirely until it’s all that’s on his mind. He’s fighting the urge to pin you down and stuff you full until you’re properly bred.

He hates having to look without touching. If Floyd really wanted to, he could just do whatever he wanted. You wouldn’t have the strength to fight him. You wouldn’t protest too much while you’re so omega-brained. But...that’s not how love works. That’s not how he should treat his omega. So unless you allow him to step over the chalk line, he has to force himself to remain on the other side, only tending to you in little ways (like retrieving water or snacks if he thinks you might need it).

You look so lonely in the little nest you’ve built yourself, composed of the blankets and plushies he’s gotten you. If only he could join you. But this just means he has to do his best to win your affections and acceptance. He’s only ever really tried for something if he was genuinely interested in it, but this time he knows he must try and try and try until he eventually succeeds. It’ll be worth it to finally cross the line and assist with your next heat, so he will continue to restrain himself in the meantime. At least it only happens once every month. He can handle it; he’s going to if he ever wants to get you to feel safe and secure with him.

On the other hand, when he’s in rut things are a little easier to tolerate. It’s still very unbearable and he hates having to feel so stuck for an entire week. Floyd doesn’t like to make plans; it’s never been his thing. That’s more of Jade’s thing. But in the days leading up to his rut he’ll stock his bedroom with things he needs in order to get through his rut. A shirt that has your scent on it, snacks and water, maybe even one of the plushies you cuddled with the most so he can have more of your scent with him when he’s in his rut. He might even take an extra step and lock you away so that you’re harder to get to when he’s in rut.

And when it finally happens, Floyd will lock himself in his room and he won’t come out until it’s over. He spends the entire week in there. You can hear and smell him; you know he’s doing this for your sake—so that he won’t be tempted to hurt or scare you. Even though he’s prepared a few things in advance, he doesn’t eat or drink much. It’s too much of a hassle. He doesn’t want to move from his bed. If he moves, he fears he might move to the door next and then the hall and then he’ll find you, and he might do something he’ll later regret. So he stays there and he struggles through his rut with just a few items that smell like you, his hand, and any other things he might have at the ready to deal with the never-ending, instinctual lust that consumes him. He’ll bite into his pillow and pretend it’s your neck; he’ll fuck into his fist and pretend it’s your hole. He does everything he can to focus on the imaginary you and not the real you who’s just within his reach.

Floyd never gives up. Struggling like this isn’t ideal, but it’s worth it if it means there will be a time in the future when he can have you without the fear and the forced submission and the aversion. He wants his scent, his alpha presence, and his love for you to be a comfort you won’t need to fear. Because he’s not a scary alpha like you might think. He cares. He cares so much, and he wants you to know that he cares. He’s even willing to muzzle himself while you’re in heat so he won’t be tempted to bite you. Floyd wouldn’t do that for any random person, mind you. He hates the idea of being caged and confined and muzzled. But he’ll gladly do those things if it’ll make his omega happy. Because your happiness is his happiness. Your comfort is his comfort. Always and forever.

#twisted chit chat #yandere twst #tw: abo #tw: omegaverse #n/sfw #fluffy floyd hours #i just wanted an excuse to ramble about alpha floyd hehe #no matter what au he is in he will always be so sweet and loving <3

Kind of amused by the idea of the BG3 squad debating who gets to wear the Adamantine Armor and Astarion looks at my sweet little tiefling cleric with shit CON whom he's falling for more every day and goes "Why is this even a discussion? Put it on our precious little moon priestess already before a stiff breeze blows her away. Besides, the glowing blue lines match her eyes, and that's just good fashion."

And so this shrimpy lady becomes the owner of this bulky ass armor and Astarion can rest better at night knowing his crush will be protected by lots of thick plates of magical metal that also look sick as hell.

Happy Birthday OC!MC 🎉🎊🎂🎁

Since it’s my birthday, I had to do a HC of what the TW boys would give my OC as a birthday present & how they feel about them. FYI, some parts are more specific towards my OC as I wanted this to be more personalized to myself. This is gonna be a long one but please enjoy~

Crowley held a dorm leader meeting to discuss how to handle her birthday, even Malleus was present for once without having to be reminded.

The dorm leaders were surprisingly eager to participate: Riddle wanted a birthday party at Heartslabyul, Kalim wanted an entire parade at Scarabia and Azul was actually willing to close Mostro Lounge temporarily.

In the end, Crowley opted to have the celebration at Ramshackle Dorm so as not to pick favourites.

On the faithful day, the first-year squad was tasked with distracting her while their seniors would decorate the venue, even the Ramshackle ghosts chipped in to help.

Riddle gives her a bouquet of roses, freshly grown from the bushes in the dorm. He thanks them for always looking after his dorm members (aka the chaotic duo). He even allows them the first strike during the next croquet match.

Ace puts on a magic show during the party, he even learnt some new card tricks just for her! He even bought an extra card deck for them so they could practice together.

Deuce shyly hands her a plush chicken keychain since the whole chicken fiasco was a fond memory for him. He finds them to be a good influence on him if he is to be a future honor student.

Trey baked her favourite strawberry shortcake as well as the other desserts at their party. He also thanked them for taking care of his juniors but he’s grateful they were friends with Riddle too.

Cater takes lots and lots and lots of selfies with her, captioned #ramshackledormparty. He also slips her a rose gold liquid glitter smartphone cover as a gift. Don’t worry, it’s the latest, trendiest design to make up for that shopping date he promised.

Leona nonchalantly passes her a jewelry box which they open to reveal a fanged necklace similar to the one he wears. He pats their head, wishing them happy birthday before leaving to nap somewhere quiet.

Ruggie was not able to afford anything too fancy, but he did share some of his favourite donuts with her. He was glad that he could depend on them when handling Leona’s demands.

Jack gives her a mini cactus/succulent garden he grew and arranged himself since he knew they loved tending to the plants in the greenhouse. “It’s not like I made this specially for you! I just had some spare plants leftover and didn’t want them to go to waste!” He would quickly reason.

Azul offers her a deal a discount at Mostro Lounge. What, that’s it? Just kidding, he hands them several test notebooks to help with studies, though he instructs them not to share with anyone else. Only her gets them free-of-charge~

Floyd had planned to squeeze his Shrimpy as a birthday gift but was stopped by Azul & Jade. In the end, he managed to find an extremely rare rainbow seashell while exploring Coral Sea, so that’s what he’s giving her. Azul probably wanted to sell that for 💰💰 but too late now.

Jade presented her with some mushrooms & herbs he gathered during his daily mountain trek as well as some recipes to cook them. Floyd gives a disgusted look behind his back though his brother chooses to ignore it.

Kalim knows where to obtain all sorts of animals for his parades and actually procures a light brown eagle owl for her. He knew how much they adored said animal so here they go! Wait... Kalim, you can’t just give someone an actual pet so suddenly?!?!

Jamil got her a pair of sport shoes since they both love dancing. They’re the same brand he uses so they’re super comfortable. The two of them may have started off on the wrong foot, but turns out they share many interests. Plus, he’s glad she’s there to help him with Kalim’s antics.

Vil straight up hands her an entire box of cosmetics from his skincare line (it’s even in limited edition packaging), stating how important it is for his little potato to maintain healthy skin especially since they live in less-than-desirable conditions at Ramshackle.

Rook gifts her a bird whistle. Since her new pet owl is a bird of prey perhaps she could train it to hunt small critters? It would also be yet another thing of beauty for him to take pictures of.

Epel created an entire apple carving centerpiece for the dining table, even Vil was impressed. There were all sorts of shapes, ranging from swans to butterflies, it was definitely Magicam worthy.

Idia made a custom game controller with her initials engraved on them. She regularly joins them for gaming nights during the weekend after all. He had not intended to come to the birthday party but Ortho basically forced him to attend for his sake.

The young robot had also grown close to her and the other first years. He was very grateful to her for taking the initiative to befriend Idia despite his reclusive nature.

Malleus was glad to be included in something for once. He had a soft spot for this particular Child of Man who had approached him so bravely and eventually befriended him. His gift to her is a gargoyle paperweight, it’s functional and makes a great table decoration.

Lilia had planned to cook for the party but Silver immediately suggested giving MC a musical instrument instead since both of them were in the light music club. After rummaging around his room, Lilia settled on giving her an ocarina, which reminded him of a certain game protagonist clad in green clothes.

Silver enjoyed fencing and he had practiced with her several times to know she was capable of wielding a weapon, thus he presented her with a silver small sword. Besides, having the extra bit of protection in school wouldn’t hurt.

Sebek handed her a book shouting “NINGEN, YOU’RE OK I GUESS, SO TAKE THIS!” It was an extra copy of one of his favourite books about a powerful swordsman who bravely protected his master while travelling alongside him.

*Bonus*

Grim’s present is a striped hair bow that matches his collar. “The great Grim-sama is capable of showing gratitude even if I’m a monster”, he proudly declares.

Also Ace decided to throw a pie at her face which escalated into the other first years joining in, followed by Floyd, Lilia and Kalim.

Jade, Jamil and Silver attempted to stop them, Cater was filming the entire thing while Ruggie used the distraction to horde as much food as possible.

At the end of the day, the troublemakers were punished by having to clean up after the party.

Can we have some MerJaskier content? Maybe the day he adopts his pet shrimp?

Well i was gonna wait but since I'm getting a tire fixed and have nothing to do, anything for you sarah!

The first thing any mer learned about their fellow sea life was that there was no controlling what they decided to do when they put their mind to it. One did not simply adopt a sea creature, the sea creature adopted you.

Jaskier had always been a bright and bubbly mer, prone to shenanigans and finding trouble, and it was no surprise when he was adopted by the rather strange shrimp that now seemed to trail after him at all times. It was a beautiful shrimp, bright red and firey not just in color but also in spirit. The shrimp quickly became jaskier's most beloved friend and fiercest protector, following him into all sorts of trouble, and ensuring their swift escapes when the danger became to great.

The day the two had meet had indeed been one such instance. Jaskier had been exploring a long thought abandoned grotto when he had come across the shrimp. There were all sorts of interesting things in the grotto, shiny sparkly things that the young mer began draping over himself with a giggle and joyful singing, dancing around the little cave of wonders. Not noticing the little shrimp shrine, tucked into an alcove of the cave, that began to shimmer and glow.

A few minutes into a silly song about the different crustaceans of the sea a beautiful little shrimp emerged from the alcove for the first time in centuries, bright ruby red in color and fierce as the largest of sharks.

The shrimp drifted towards the mer that still hadn't noticed it and wound itself into its hair, deciding to love and protect the silly little mer that had awoken the shrimp god from his long slumber.

With a friend like Ignis it was no wonder that Jaskier lived with little fear of the world or its creatures, happily going about his shenanigans and singing all the way.

This has been another shrimpy production, courtesy of your favorite chaotic cheese.

Special thanks go out to the goob squad as always

rich kid runaways (ft. yuexzukoxtoph friendship)

for my 100 Followers Celebration - credit to @aroacebitchboi for this amazing idea!

zuko faces his father in the agni kai, and when he is told what he must do in order to be welcome in his homeland again, he just says “fuck this” and runs away.

he’s not sure where he’s gonna go, just that he has to get out, and fast, because his dad’s gonna kill him. like. for real. so he stows away on a fire navy ship headed Literally Anywhere Else (and maybe the soldiers don’t care! because he’s 13 and hurting children is a disgrace! maybe they sneak him food and blankets idk!)

yue, meanwhile, in the north pole, has just been told she is going to enter an arranged marriage for the good of her people when she turns 16. respectfully, she asks her father what exactly this marriage will do, politically speaking. the north isn’t at war with itself, in fact they’re more united than ever. maybe if it were a southern water tribe boy, sure, but no, it’s going to be a northern boy.

her father just tells her it’s imperative to the stability of the tribe that they uphold tradition. yue, realizing this is bullshit, even at the tender age of 13, says “fuck this”, and runs away.

she is all but screwed without waterbending or any practical survival knowledge - except, she’s been chosen by the moon spirit. when she steals a boat and heads south, the moon takes pity on its ward and keeps her safe, at least on her waterbound journey. once she lands on the northern shores of the earth kingdom, yue depends on the kindness of strangers to survive.

zuko, meanwhile, is angry and mistrustful and afraid when he ends up on the western shores of the earth kingdom, and he depends entirely on his determination to survive. he learns to live off the land the hard way, and avoids major cities and towns for fear of being found out as a firebender. of course, if he’s ever spotted, he’s regarded with pity and empathy because of the festering burn on his face, but zuko doesn’t realize that.

yue never stays in one place too long, bouncing from family to family and learning more skills in a few months than she was ever taught in her whole life up north. she cooks and cleans and sews, yes, but she also farms and skins hunted animals and does house repairs. she is happily taken into homes because of her ability to heal - though never a waterbender, yue still learned basic healing with the other northern women, and can manage even bad wounds all on her own.

afraid she’ll be recognized by her vibrant hair, however, yue continues her journey south, considering running to the south pole for sanctuary. she wonders how their women are treated. zuko, meanwhile, lives alone in the wilderness most of the time, and moves very slowly up the west coast.

they’re 14 when their paths cross. three fire nation soldiers harass yue while she’s journeying along a rural road, asking her for a made-up toll. usually trading in work, yue has no money to speak of. the soldiers threaten violence, and, though he is afraid of being caught by his countrymen, zuko was never one to let bullies have power over the innocent.

he emerges from the forest, swords in hand, attacking the soldiers. at first it seems like he has the upper hand - and then he stumbles, and the soldiers laugh and pull him up to beat him. zuko panics and relies on instinct - firebending at the soldiers and burning them badly. they run away yelling, and zuko panics, certain that he’ll be caught out. he goes to run, but yue stops him.

“you’re hurt,” she says, pointing to where he’d been cut by the soldiers’ swords. “please, let me help you. it’s the least i can do.”

“you’re not scared of me?” zuko asks in confusion, looking around wildly, afraid his father will pop out of the trees and strike him down.

“you saved me,” yue says, just as confused, because between the rescue and the obvious burn mark, she doesn’t really think this boy would have any reason to hurt her. also he’s kinda shrimpy, and yue, who has built up some strength through hard work, is pretty sure she could take him. “come on, i have some herbs. is there clean water nearby?”

shocked that anyone in the earth kingdom wouldn’t call for zuko’s arrest on the spot, zuko leads yue to a stream in the forest. yue silently patches his wounds, and then eventually asks if she can get a look at his eye. apart from the initial work of the fire nation healers, zuko hadn’t really done much to treat his eye, and it’s so badly crusted he can barely see out of it. when yue reaches for him, he jerks away.

“i don’t need your help!” he snaps, standing and shaking himself off. “if it weren’t for you, i wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with.”

“excuse me.” says yue, standing as well, because who is he to talk to her that way? “i didn’t ask you for help, you chose to do that. and you’re mad at those soldiers, not me, so why don’t you try being a little nicer?”

they stare at each other furiously for a moment. then yue sighs and says “i think i can help you with your eye, so that you can see. let me do that and i’ll leave you alone.”

it’s painful, and a very slow process, but with water warmed by zuko’s bending (”just heat up the water.” “someone could see!” “we’re in the middle of a literal forest! who’s spying! the frogs???”) and a few medicinal herbs, yue manages to clear away most of the crust and dead skin over zuko’s eye. when he finally opens it again, he’s shocked to find that he can see.

“well, i won’t bother you anymore,” yue says huffily, moving to leave the forest. as she does, she realizes she doesn’t know where the heck she is. zuko’s still marveling at how different the world looks with two eyes.

“umm, which way is out?” yue asks him. zuko snaps back to reality and says “oh, um. i’ll show you.” because he is, admittedly, grateful.

of course, when they try to leave the forest, they run into bandits and barely escape. then yue reccomends they take a country road, and zuko reluctantly agrees, except they run into more bandits. after the fourth round of bandits in two weeks, they’re convinced they’ve been cursed with bad luck.

“can we just go to a town or a city?” yue asks, panting from their desperate escape. “we’re not having much luck living in the wild.”

“i was fine until you showed up!” zuko retorts, panting as well. “fine! then i’ll leave!” yue yells back.

“wait,” zuko says, and yue turns, tapping her foot impatiently. “i’m sorry,” zuko says, to yue’s shock, because if her few weeks with this kid who calls himself lee has taught her anything, it’s that he does not apologize. “i don’t really...understand, um, local people and-“

“let me do the talking,” yue says, gentle as always, reaching for zuko’s arm. he smiles at her, a real, happy smile, and they make their way to the nearest earth kingdom town.

after that, yue and zuko are inseparable. they argue a lot, naturally, but they become good friends, too. yue says she always wanted a sibling, zuko says he always wanted a different sibling, so it’s nice, to have each other. without going into too much detail, they bond over their shared experiences of pre-determined destinies and overbearing parental figures (“my father said i have to get married for the good of the people! what does that even mean?” “tell me about it, my father got mad that i talked out of turn, so he tried to kill me.” “...he what?” “hahaha just kidding that’s not a normal thing that happens.”) no matter how scary it gets, they agree, the earth kingdom makes them feel freer than they ever have before.

does the food they cook suck because they’ve never had to cook in their lives? yes. do they sometimes put all four feet in their mouths because of how they speak to the poor people of the earth kingdom? yes. have they ticked off a lot of fellow teenagers for acting bratty? yes. (“what, so, you don’t have palaces around here?” yue asks. “yeah, where are the royal gardens?” zuko asks. “leave before we rock your shit.” says Every Teenager They Meet.) but at the end of the day, they’re happy.

at 15 they reach a city called gaoling. by now they can both do enough odd jobs that they always have some pocket money on them, although yue still struggles to behave in a way that isn’t dainty and delicate, and zuko still struggles with basic social skills.

they’re getting ready to move along, when they’re stopped by a girl. she’s young, about 11, and entirely blind. she’s being chased by a loud crowd, who seem to be just around the corner.

“please!” the girl says. “help hide me! they’re after me! i think they’re going to kidnap me!” yue and zuko, who are the captains of the child-protection-squad, immediately move to protect the girl.

“this way!” zuko says, and the three of them run down narrow streets and alleyways, in and around shops, until they’re stopped at the city gate by the mob going after the girl.

“alright, kid,” the leader, a tall, buff man with long greasy hair says. “you’ve stolen from us for the last time.”

“how many time do i have to tell you?” the girl bellows, much different than her sweet and innocent pleas from before. “i won fair and square! you’re just mad because you got your butt kicked by a little girl!”

before zuko and yue can even react, the girl pummels the mob of men with an avalanche of rocks, and then launches the earth they’re standing on into the air, landing them far outside of the city limits in a dizzying display.

“woo! that was awesome!” the girl says gleefully pumping her arms. zuko and yue are both trying to wrap their heads around what just happened. “thanks for the help. not that i needed it, i just didn’t want my parents’ guards to see me bending...i wasn’t really planning on running away, but, i mean, i doubt they’ll even notice i’m gone-”

“just a second,” yue says, collecting herself. zuko’s jaw is still hanging open. “who are you?”

the girl grins smugly. “name’s toph. who are you?”

i cannot fully express how much i love this idea. top-notch. god-tier. thank you again!

Iron Boy

(Ao3 Link)

So what’re your pronouns, mate?

The question had been asked so simply, so casually. It should have been answered in kind.

Despite being given a rather generously-sized room with a cot just her size, on bad days Moze still preferred to sleep inside Iron Bear. Curled up inside the cage of steel that had saved her life a hundred times, she felt as close to safe as she ever could. It was far from a comfortable bed, but sometimes comfort came in forms other than soft sheets and a cozy blanket.

Within Iron Bear, memories surrounded her. Not only in spirit, but physically, too–the interior of her mech was filled with photographs, papers, and printouts of old text conversations with her squadmates. There were also a bunch of balled-up gum wads stuck to the inner wall, one for each victorious fight. Which was, admittedly, kind of nasty. Moze figured she was allowed one gross battle ritual. The guys had always had grosser ones.

Inside Iron Bear, she was home. It was the single constant in her life. Friends came and went, relationships had never really worked out. But Iron Bear? He was forever.

Not even Iron Bear’s cold embrace could protect her from her thoughts, though. No, those were her greatest enemy.

My pronouns? Could that lady–Lorelei, was it?–not tell Moze was a woman? Granted, she had never been the most feminine girl, or felt all that connected to womanhood in general, but she was still a woman.

Lorelei’s question had been answered with a somewhat incredulous Um, she...? At least, it was supposed to sound incredulous. It came out more like Moze wasn’t certain. Lorelei had cocked a brow at the response, but didn’t press. Instead she simply said Most people use she/her for me, too, but I answer to anythin'.

Sexuality had never been a particularly difficult concept for Moze to grasp. She knew basically from the onset of puberty that she was into girls, which was...whatever. Nobody looked twice at her shrimpy ass. She disappeared in crowds, and even at school no one noticed her. It was equal parts curse and blessing, since at least no one started any shit with her, either. The only friends she had were the other military brats, all training alongside her to join the same factions their parents had fought in. For Moze, that was the Vladof Ursa Corps. One of her first memories was of sleeping curled up around an Iron Bear plushie Vladof had commissioned for all the kids of Ursa Corps gunners.

Her life was predetermined from birth. She would join the Ursa Corps. She would fight and bring glory to Vladof’s name. Then she would be honorably discharged, and would go on to marry and give birth to the next generation of Ursa Corps gunners, with Iron Bear crib plushies of their own.

The thought of the last part always made her inexplicably queasy.

Apparently wanting to keep your mech was, to put it lightly, frowned upon. So thankfully she didn’t have to contribute any babies to the cause–Vladof decided it’d be cheaper just to kill her.

Leaning her head back against the greasy old headrest, Moze’s eyes swept across the photos tacked up in the cockpit. Front and center was the selfie her squad had taken right before Darzaran Bay. Moze couldn’t have cared less about being in pictures, but Talya had always insisted on taking one before every fight. Talya was just a kid–they all were. Led into battle by their Gunner First Class, they saw each battle as little more than an opportunity for gloating and glory. Moze had watched far too many greenies get ripped apart to get too invested in any of them anymore. But what happened to the kids at Darzaran...it was beyond horrifying. It was haunting.

An older picture, partially covered by the pre-Darzaran group shot, hearkened back to her early days of training. Three privates she barely remembered were clustered around her in the mess hall as Moze absolutely demolished an entire fried craw worm. Her appetite was her claim to fame back then–no one could believe such a tiny chick could have such a voracious appetite. The only reason she’d backed off on the food gorging was when she eventually noticed her hips and butt starting to fill out–a discovery that filled her with an irrational dread. Since that day, she’d committed herself to working out double, maintaining a scrawny, shapeless figure no different from her male squadmates.

Hm. Maybe that explained Lorelei’s asking of her pronouns.

The question was simple, and the answer was simple–so why was it wedged in Moze’s brain? Being a military woman was her whole thing. She was a kickass army chick, fighting alongside the guys and the girls without distinction. Yeah, maybe she wasn’t crazy about a lot of the things that came packaged with womanhood, but that was, like, a societal thing, wasn’t it? Not a Moze problem.

Iron Bear had no gender, but Moze referred to it as a “he”. She wasn’t entirely sure why–it just felt right. She remembered vividly the pride she took in piloting such a masculine machine as a woman, like she was operating simultaneously in the worlds of male and female. In the confines of Iron Bear, gender didn’t matter. All that mattered was the mission.

...At least until the mission was over, leaving Moze with all of her– shudder –thoughts.

What the hell else would people call me if not a ‘she’? ‘Him’?

With that thought came an almost imperceptible flutter in her stomach. Moze made a fist and punched her gut. Nope, not a burp. Weird.

Whatever. The issue could wait until morning. Not that it was an issue, because Moze knew her gender and her pronouns, and it wasn’t like any of it really mattered, anyway. The only thing that mattered was the mission at hand. Just like always.

Watched over by her eternally smiling squadmates, Moze curled up in Iron Bear’s cockpit and forced herself to rest.

"Eat my ass, you mangled Wolverine doll." Tess' lip curled, exposing teeth less impressive than his own. (The *instinct* is there, however. That feral hint to her mutation that pushes against the *human.*) "Drrf is *not* your whipping post."[Drrf Protection Squad is go!]

@xgodofstoriesx

Daken listens as if it’s serious, his brow furrowed in concern. Then he lets go, and laughs jubilantly. “Oh, Tess. I’m going to physically, emotionally and mentally beat the everliving shit out of that shrimpy blue dumbfuck. I hope he cries for the next dozen years. Boo hoo.”

Then, he gestures at her lower half. “Seriously, though, do you want me to eat your ass?”

my version of the d3 timeline

okay so with d3 being out, im going to say something

I thought the timeline would be different.

so here's mine

starts off with good to be bad, obvi

then the choosing of the kids

engagement

vks go get the kids

they pick up the four, but instead of the isle crowd being exited, they’re mad, they want to go to auradon too!!! they shouldn't have to wait around till another vk day (this is back when we all thought isle people would only be chosen annually) so the car speeds out of there, and the now just rejected crowd stands behind the car as it exits

hades.

queen of mean

Audrey grabs the scepter, a plan in mind, but because she is not maleficents blood, she falls into a deep sleep, and in a final bit of magic, makes the scepter and crown disappear from her grasp, and she teleports herself to her bed, making it seem like someone else spelled her

now its the mal ben talk, beast suggests closing the barrier for good, both mal and ben are against it, more ben than mal, but mal soon agrees, bens disappointed, but “understands” then he gets his phone call about the crown and scepter being stolen.

beast suggests uma, mal agrees, Ben = uma protection squad

mal tells evie, the exact same scene happens except with more, “kids who want to go back and see their bothers and sisters, or their parents, we’re just going to take that away from them?!”

mal asks evie “E, since when was any parent good on the isle”

“smee” “that's tight, he never did anything but he certainly never stopped anything” “dr facilier” “he was crap to Freddie, he really only likes Celia” “lefou” “again, never really did anything, but never stopped anything”

evie just sits there, trying to come up with an argument, “what about food, if no one goes in or out, what about the barges?” “the goblins grab that remember, no one actually goes in or out, they just reach across the barrier” evie just looks devastated, while there are a lot of bad parents on the isle, some of them are a lot better than others, like Anastasia, dizzy had said multiple times that she wanted to go back to see her auntie, the one who raised her. then the scene goes on like normal.

then the getting ready for janes party scene.

that's when mal gets a call from ben

“Audreys been spelled, her grandmas been trying to wake her up to no avail.”

mal rushes to head over to the dorms, she gets there, seeing Audrey motionless on her bed.

then either she or FG runs a diagnostics on Audrey, revealing that this was a curse of the scepter.

“the only thing more powerful than the scepter is Hades ember”

mal heads back to Evie's house, telling them all about what was going down, and they needed to go back to the isle for hades ember. mal is about to head inside to get changed when magic strikes her, spelling her into an old hag.

the scene goes on like the movie, but instead of Audrey being there, they think its uma behind all of this.

cut to Audrey, Audrey is awake, and she has the scepter and crown, she releases her sleeping spell at janes party, jane goes underwater, she calls Ben, telling him about Audrey.

ben tries to call mal, but she's on the isle, no cell phone service.

mal and gang head to the isle to grab the ember, Celia tagging along, they go to the arcade to get key, the tv plays the same scene, they still think its uma behind it all, then the same pirate stealing bikes scene.

mal tries to get the ember, but hades catches her doing so, and FYI, hades is NOT mals dad in this version, he asks what she wants, she says she needs it to break a spell, one song later (a hard rock version of do what you gotta do, with no daddy issues shit) hades only agrees to give it to mal IF, his son hadie comes off the isle next. mal “I can't do that” “well then~, I guess no ember for you” procedes to walk away, mal breaks, agreeing to his plan.

mal now has ember, but hades warns her only gods/demigods can use the ember, and she would need either him or another god to use it for her

“ill take my chances” “if it gets wet its game over”

cut to ben and Audrey scene. Audrey curses ben to beast mode. but does not turn FG into stone yet.

the core four + Celia exit the isle, mal goes though her little blue up, but Celia bumps her arm, causing the ember to go flying through the air, right into umas grasp.

in the background, harry and gil are rejoicing.

“it can't get wet! give it back before it goes out!!”

“why? you won't be able to use it, either way, ~ only a god or demi-god can use it...and oh~ your not one, but...I am~”

mal is stubborn not wanting to team up with uma, evie rationalizes with her, “M shes right, we need a god to use the ember, and we have one right in front of us”

“but shes the one who cast the curse in the first place remember?” “mal shes offering an out right now, if we just go along with it she might back off”

“uggg.....fine”

uma cackles, but says one more thing “if you want my help....open the barrier for harry and gil”

jay growls but opens the barrier anyway, the boys don't even wait before jumping though.

uma cackles, releasing her transformation, mal yelps out a no, the ember was gonna get wet.

uma reappears on the bridge, harry nearly tackles her, but he remains mostly calm, gil is just like a retriever tho.

the scene continues on like in the movie, with some exceptions.

“uma give me the ember, I need that to break a spell”

Carlos: “yeah one cast by you”

confused uma is confused “what spell? I didn't cast any spell”

the core four are now stunned, “what? but you cursed Audrey to sleep with my mother's scepter-’

“hold it right there dragon breath, if I used the scepter...wouldnt I be asleep right now? cuz im not maleficents blood, only your mom or you can touch it remember?”

mals brain fizzles out, shit shes right

“but if you didn't do it” evie inquires, “who did?”

uma grins turning to her boys “this seems like a job for pirates!!!!” mal is just frustrated “uma give the ember to me, i need it”

uma just hums ‘well I might not give it back~ just to see what happens”

“uma it's not the time for games peoples lives are in danger!!!”

“guarantee me that every single villain kid that wants too, can get off the isle”

“I can't do that” “can't do that huh *holds it over the edge* well how bout now!!”

“deal!...deal” *uma fake stumbles, harry still tries to catch her*

the scene continues on like in the movie.

they arrive at the school, going to make their way to audreys dorm, but they find everyone asleep.

the scene continues on like in the movie, but dude doesn't talk. so they have no clue on who the culprit is.

mal and the others head to audreys room, to use the ember to wake her up, only to find she's not there, they do a minor search tiring to find clues on who took Audrey, uma flops on audreys bed, finds her diary...and that how they find out.

“Hey, guys...come look at this”

they gather around uma, who reads the last input Audrey put in her diary.

detailing her plan for becoming the queen of auradon, and taking it by any means necessary.

it clicks for harry and uma, but takes a second for the others to understand.

“guys” harry growls, like its obvious,(which it is) “yer princess is the one who cast the spell!”

“shes not like that!” “yeah Audrey wouldn't do something like this”

“oh really” uma hums, flipping though audreys diary “take a look at all this”

pages and pages of heartbreak and grief, rants about the pressure put on by her grandparents, how she never even got an apology from Ben OR Mal.

how shes a failure for not keeping her hold on ben, and how she wishes he had broken up with her like a normal person.

“it's obvious she snapped and took the crown and scepter”

‘We need to find ben” mal says, snatching the book from uma and tossing it on the bed, gil steals a glance, seeing that Audrey hung out at fairy cottage a lot, and stashes that info for later.

“and find FG too, we need the wand”

they all nod, following mal out and to the museum, evie calling fairy godmother.

as they arrive, they see FG trotting up the steps,

“mal what in heavens-” shes turned to stone, the vks gasp, harry runs towards uma, as always trying to protect her.

“no!”

the rush off, not wanting to get turned into stone.

they stop in front of the school dorms, breathing heavily, Carlos hears dude bark, and (referencing the fact that he can speak dog) asks dude if he knows where ben is, confused harry is confused “what are yeh doin’ pup?”

“I can speak dog” “okay then”

now for the scene Night falls, goes exactly like the movie. but instead of the dance break defeating the knights, its Mal, Uma, and Evie's combined magic that overheat audreys magic and cause it to fail.

Evie tries the ice breaker, to no avail.

mal sends the boys to find ben, she and the girls follow Uma's plan to go back to audreys dorm to find out where she might be, then Gil brings up that he saw that Audrey likes to hang out at fairy cottage.

core four are surprised, uma and harry are not, their boy remembers things at the best of times.

the boy's forest scene is exactly the same.

mal, evie, uma, and Celia just start to head to Evie's house, since they know where Audrey might already be.

then the Doug scene, now there is no one kiss, evie finds Doug, but because of her fast thinking, before uma can suggest true loves kiss, evie remembers that she has anti sleeping spell potions, uma is surprised, evie just goes, “my mom is a witch remember?”

Doug wakes up, uma is impressed, “alright im a little intimidated by you now”

“as you should be~”

witch evie is best evie

the boys encounter beast ben, the scene is not changed

back to the girls, mal thanks uma for suggesting audreys place, uma is defensive, mal feels guilt because ‘what the hell have I done to make uma this defensive around me’

later mal apologizes to uma about the shrimpy incident, uma does not forgive her

“Apology accepted, but you're not forgiven”

“i-i can accept that”

Audrey boards up the house and mal and uma work together, uma does NOT give mal the ember, she still doesn't trust her. not completely.

the boys arrive, uma reunites with her boys. the scene continues on as in the movie

now the dark forest scene. it continues on as in the movie, but when mal reveals she been lying the entire time, Celia takes the ember from uma, tossing it into the pot.

the scene continues on like in the movie

mal tries to beg uma to help, but she's done with mals shit, she doesn't want to be hurt anymore, harry leads her away.

final fight scene.

uma returns, picking up the dropped umber from the ground where mal dropped it. as soon as she picks it up, it ignites, sensing Umas demigod status.

dragon mal in the sky pressing down on Audrey keeping her distracted, uma controls the water in the air and plants and sends it towards audreys, aided by the ember, she surrounds Audrey with water and puts pressure on the scepter, breaking it.

Audrey falls defeated.

the movie continues on like normal.

okay, so this is my version of the timeline. hope yall enjoyed!!!!

I was learning about different types of 'fools' used in Shakespeare the other day in my English Literature class, and it got me thinking about Gil. There are two types of fools: the 'natural fool' and the 'artificial fool'. The 'natural fool' is someone who lacks intelligence and is very foolish and acts stupidly. But an 'artificial fool' is someone who pretends to be foolish but is actually wise, like a jester. This got me thinking about Gil. What if he's an 'artificial fool'?What do you think?

*squeals in delight* YAY A QUESTION!! I like this one!

To answer you’re question, anon, I want to look at the pros and cons of being an artificial fool in a place like the Isle of the Lost.

As for the Pros, it makes you a great candidate for being henchmen. Being a henchmen means having a job and sometimes having protection. You don’t have to worry about major scheming and looking like a big foolish failure because no one expects anything of you. Also, when trouble starts brewing between the brains of the villains, you are nowhere near the bench, ready to sub in. You are there for brawn and nothing else.

As for cons, some of them go along with the pros. Sure, you don’t have to worry about big plotting, but you are also not in charge of anything. No one trusts the fool to plan the big escape. Also, while being a fool makes you go unnoticed, it also makes you an easy target. You may be secretly able to outsmart a pursuer, but chances are that you’ll have so many targets on your back–especially someone like Gil who is a major villain’s kid and on Uma’s crew–that you’ll get nicked eventually. There’s also some level of embarrassment that comes with being labeled the fool. You’re the butt of all jokes, and the idiot of the squad. You’ll need some thick skin so it doesn’t get to you.

I do not think Gil is an artificial fool, nor do I think he is a complete numbskull. First of all, he was raised by Gaston, so we can safely assume education was not emphasized in his household. He was raised to impress the ladies with his brawn instead of his brain, and that actually came in handy when Uma needed him to do a little espionage. He was also the one who pieced together Uma’s necklace, which took a considerable amount of focus because it was shattered. Gil is helpful in his own way.

I think Gil is trying his best, but his upbringing hasn’t made him to be a big intellectual. He really seems to want to impress Uma as a useful part of the crew, so he has no reservation in showing off what he can do to help (putting together the necklace, telling her about Ben, etc). If he were actually an artificial fool, he’d be holding back an important tool from his captain, and I don’t think Gil would do that. Like I said, he’s doing his best. Remember when he gave Ben the message from his dad? He looked so accomplished! Go Gil!

Another thing: If Gil was an artificial fool, he’d be able to figure out that calling Uma Shrimpy would lead to getting thrown out, which would put him in a vulnerable position. I think playing artificial fool on the Isle just isn’t the best if we’re following natural selection: Survival of the Fittest.

Conclusion: Gil is 100% natural Gil.
