Ours - Mafia Leader! Taeyong x Medic Girl & Mafia! Johnny Suh x Flower

Official TY’s girl name: Kim Eunji

Official Johnny’s girl name: Chrissanna Lee

A/N: hi anon! I’m glad you enjoyed reading my recent Johnny mafia fic and even read some of my old fics, literally the first NCT fic I’ve ever made. So sorry that it took me so long to write this for you since I was travelling and have been caught up with some freelance work and also recently started a new job which tbh I don't like :') but I hope that you enjoy the story and I'm sorry if it doesn't meet your expectations >.<!

Also, also!! Let me introduce you guys the official names for Taeyong’s medic girl: Kim Eunji and Johnny’s flower: Chrissanna Lee. Lil easter eggs of previous mafia fics

It was a rare peaceful day in NCT. Mainly because all the tasks that Taeyong had to take care of was actually done and he was just going looking over at his members’ businesses when his girlfriend and nurse, Eunji came by to his office, bringing him his lunch.

“Hey. I hope that I’m not interrupting anything boss” Eunji asked as she went into Taeyong’s office where Taeyong was with Doyoung and Johnny

“You would never interrupt anything” Taeyong smiled, standing up to greet his girlfriend with open arms and kissed the side of Eunji’s head

“Stop that. Your members are here. Hi Doyoung, Hi Johnny” Eunji greeted the other members

“Hey. It’s been a while Eunji. Sorry to ask you this but how’s Chris? Is she doing better?” Johnny asked, still worried about his girlfriend despite it being a few months since he got rid of the people who made them have PTSD

“Hey. She’s doing much better. She’s opening up more and we’re actually going to hang out together tomorrow” Eunji mentioned, grabbing both Taeyong and Johnny’s attention

“Tomorrow? Is that one of the reasons you wanted to come here and see me?” Taeyong sulked, making Doyoung fake vomit as Eunji kissed his cheek

“No. But I might as well say it whilst on the topic” Eunji replied whilst also handing over some paperwork from the lab

“And this is why I don’t want you coming when there are other members around. We don’t get any alone time and I barely get to see you” Taeyong sighed but Eunji just kissed his cheek, massaging his shoulders

“Well, Mr Leader, we just came back from a one-week trip together. Don’t you think that that’s enough for now? You know that it takes time to train the new recruits” Eunji mentioned

“Eunji is right, hyung, the new batch of recruits takes a lot of time to train because of how incompetent most of them are. The girls especially try to flirt with the dream members but you know how annoyed the boys with girlfriends are” Doyoung mentioned

“You should see Jeno almost wanting to strangle a girl because she was bad-mouthing his girlfriend when she managed to find her socials” Eunji added on, making Taeyong rise his eyebrow

“Jeno took care of it. He had Haechan broadcast a whole Twitter thread that that girl made” Eunji chuckled, remembering that time

“That’s Haechan. You can try to tease him but when it passes a line, he’ll make sure you’ll regret it” Taeyong mentioned, knowing his younger member’s habit of ruining someone’s life through hacking

“So, Eunji. You and Chris? You guys going tomorrow?” Johnny asked again

“Yeap. We’re not going anywhere crazy, trust me. We’re just going into town for a bit and we’ll come back to the NCT HQ. Is it alright to show her around the HQ?” Eunji asked

“I think that’s best. We’re actually going out on a mission tomorrow so if you can make it back before it gets dark, it would be better” Johnny mentioned, making Eunji look at Taeyong

“I too was going to tell you that I’m going to be out tomorrow but you came here first so, here we are” Taeyong shrugged, earning a light smack from Eunji

“How many of you guys are going to be out? What’s the mission this time? I can postpone my outing with Chris if you need me” Eunji asked but Taeyong stopped her by turning to hold her hands in his and kissed them

“No need for that. It’s just some light fieldwork. It won’t take that long anyway. We’ll be back by sundown. That is if Johnny doesn’t mind leaving his girlfriend for one day that is” Taeyong teased but Johnny just eyed him

“I’m not possessive. I just prefer if I was there with her but since Eunji will be with her, I’m completely fine. Chris has always wanted a girls day out” Johnny mentioned. “Thank you for looking after her, Eunji. I really appreciate it”

“Of course, John. It’s the least I could do after everything you’ve all done for me” Eunji mentioned

“Ehem, we should get going. Jaehyun told me that the others are already waiting for us” Doyoung mentioned, interrupting the conversation, making Eunji giggle

“You take care, love. Use my card. If I find you not using it, I’m gonna block yours. Don’t think you can fool me about that” Taeyong mentioned, wrapping his arm around Eunji’s waist as he, Eunji, Johnny and Doyoung left Taeyong’s office together

“I will. You guys take care of yourselves” Eunji mentioned, kissing Taeyong’s cheek

“We will. Call me if anything happens” Taeyong replied as Eunji nodded before Taeyong kissed the side of Eunji’s head one last time before she left the elevator first

The Next Day

Just as Eunji told Taeyong and Johnny the other day, she and Chris would be going out on a girls day together. Eunji and Chris went to the NCT HQ first and met up with their respective boyfriends who gave them each their own credit cards and made each girl promise to use the given cards instead of their own.

After spending almost all morning at the HQ, Eunji finally finished her paperwork and handed back to Xiaojun before bidding her boyfriend goodbye to spend the day with Chris.

“You tell me if anything happens, alright? We might be back by night but if anything should happen…” Taeyong rambled but Eunji shut him up by pecking his lips

“We’ll be alright, Tyong. We’re just going to have some lunch and then shop around town for a moment. We’ll meet you guys back at the HQ. I promise I’ll call if anything happens” Eunji replied, Taeyong still holding onto her hand

Sighing, Taeyong stood up and cupped Eunji’s face, his face softened. “Alright. I’m not going to hold you back any longer. Johnny just texted me that he’s waiting downstairs to send you both off. I’ll see you tonight then” Taeyong kissed Eunji’s cheek and let her off

After bidding Johnny goodbye as well, Eunji and Chriss went into town and headed to a local’s favourite brunch spot and after they’ve seated and ordered their food and drinks, they finally get to have some girl time.

“Do you work at the HQ every day or do you get to go on field missions?” Chris asked, making Eunji look at her

“Mainly in the lab. Ever since the incident, Taeyong hasn’t really let me go on a field mission on my own. I would always have to go with at least 2 of his members or with him. Otherwise, I won’t be allowed on the field” Eunji replied

“You went through a traumatic experience too?” Chriss asked and Eunji smiled back at her

“It wasn’t as bad as yours. Mine happened at the HQ and during one of the fieldwork. Both were because someone from within the recruits was a mole. It wasn’t as bad, trust me. I’m alright now. I was lucky honestly. I did have a trauma with guns since I was little and Taeyong helped me with it. I’ve gotten better” Eunji told Chriss who gave her a sad smile

“I guess we were both lucky to have met such amazing men and people to help us. I was completely alone for years and I didn’t think that Johnny would be the type of person that he is today. Or even when that night that I almost tried to leave but he stopped me” Chriss mentioned

“I know that it’s still hard for you to open up but trust me, you’re safe when you’re in the main circle. No one is judging you. Every other member in the main circle have their own traumas and difficulties. Even Taeyong who’s the leader and is supposed to be the strongest and toughest member. We all have our nightmares and different ways to cope them” Eunji mentioned

“How do you handle being part of this whole thing? I heard that you were one of their recruits back then” Chriss asked as Eunji sipped her coffee

“Well. That’s a long story. But to cut it short, I didn’t have such a happy childhood like yours. My parents were killed in front of me. By the time the police and the government found me, I was so weak and bloody. They took me in but trained me to be part of the NCT recruit system. Eventually, I joined the recruits and rose in the ranks. I partially think it was because since a young age I had to learn everything on my own. I also had to survive on my own. But despite being able to excel in just about anything. I couldn’t overcome my trauma with shotguns. Not necessary that I was afraid of shotguns but I just couldn’t shoot anyone in their vital parts. Especially when someone is holding a gun within an arms range towards me. I would be petrified. It happened once and I fainted on the spot. That’s why since then Taeyong won’t really let me go on field missions without any NCT members” Eunji replied

“Is it scary? To fight and see all the gruesome scenes?” Chriss

“It was in the beginning. But as time went on, the more I trained, the more used to it I was. Well, except for my trauma. But one thing that you should believe me is that the neos will try their best to keep their woman out of anything that relates to the mafia. Even if how they met their woman was through some traumatic experience like you” Eunji tried to reassure Chriss

“Now that last part I believe because Johnny has not told me anything about the mafia. He would tell me a bit of the entertainment agency he runs but aside from that, nothing” Chriss chuckled

The two girls talked and went around town, buying some things for themselves and their boyfriends until they saw that the sun was about to set. Realising that it was going to get dark soon, the two girls took the car back to the NCT HQ and told their boyfriends along the way who were still out with the majority of the NCT team on a field mission.

Arriving back at the HQ, the two girls went up to the top where Taeyong’s office was because aside from the NCT members, Eunji too had access to Taeyong’s office.

Feeling bored waiting for their boyfriends, Eunji invited Chriss to go on a little NCT HQ tour which she was more than happy to go because despite being in the building, Chriss has never actually explored the building because whenever she was with Johnny, he would just bring her to his office or the other NCT members’ office.

The two girls then headed through each floor with Eunji being the tour guide and explaining most of the rooms in the building. Because most of the people in the building knows Eunji, she would often stop by and greet them. Sometimes she would even check in on some of the new recruits.

In the midst of their tour around the building, suddenly, the building went on lockdown due to a breach in the system. Yangyang who was still in the HQ announced to the entire building to stay calm but Eunji grabbed Chriss and headed to where Yangyang was.

“Yangyang!” Eunji exclaimed, grabbing the young member’s attention

“Eunji! What are you doing here and is that…” Yangyang uttered

“It’s Chriss, Johnny’s girlfriend. What happened?” Eunji asked, striding to Yangyang who was overviewing the control room

“Someone tried hacking into the system. Haechan and Jungwoo are working on it. I’m helping them however I can from over here. Winwin, Hendery, and Chenle are searching around the building. Taeil, Doyoung, and Renjun are checking on the recruits and everyone to make sure that everyone is alright” Yangyang informed Eunji

Looking at each of the security screens, Eunji noticed that not all parts of the building were monitored. “Yangyang, what about the floor between 1 and 2” Eunji whispered

“Eun, I doubt anyone besides our internal members knows about that floor. No one should even have the access key to that floor because it’s DNA and facial recognition security” Yangyang replied back

“But you never know. I’ll go then” Eunji uttered

“Eun. Taeyong-hyung is not going to allow that. We’re in complete lockdown. Several of our members are already going around and the others are on their way back from the mission which they succeed by the way. You and Chriss should stay here and that’s final” Yangyang stated

“You’re forgetting something” Eunji stated, walking towards the door, grabbing Chriss with her

Yangyang who realised what Eunji was going to do tried to rush to her but she immediately disappeared behind the door along with Chriss.

“Hyung. I think we need to change our plans” Yangyang stated in his intercom

On the Secret Floor

“Was this place always here?” Chriss asked as both she and Eunji went into the elevator and Eunji pressed both the first and second floor while scanning her ID card

“Since the building was built. This floor is sacred and only the main NCT members and certain staffs…”

“Like you?”

“Like me. Gets their ID card with a specific chip for this. It’s sacred because, on this floor, we keep our top weapons that are still under development. Some of them can be deadly because they’re still unstable. Even if an intruder comes here and steals the weapon, it’s fine because it has a self-destruct system if an unknown person touches it. But the blueprint on the other hand, that’s what I worry about the most. No one should be able to get their hands on it” Eunji mentioned

As the door opened, Eunji instructed Chriss to stay nearby as they made their way through the floor and headed to where the weapon design room was. Going into the room, Eunji went through every single desk to make sure that all the blueprints were there but in the midst of going through the blueprints, Eunji felt something was off and immediately grabbed a backup weapon and turned around to point it only to meet the intruder who held Chriss as their hostage.

“I think it would be best if you put your weapon down and hand over all the blueprints” the intruder spoke, the knife he held almost pierced through Chriss’ skin until I let down my weapon

“You really think this is smart? I think it would be best that you let her go and turn yourself in before you regret it” Eunji tried to sound tough even though deep down she was shaking from the fear of what the intruder had up their sleeve

Within seconds, there were multiple footsteps that came but knowing NCT, those weren’t the typical footstep sounds that they would make and Eunji was right because there were some other intruders who turned out to be pretending to be some of the cleaning staff in the NCT building.

Both Eunji and Chriss were then captured by the intruders and used as hostages to get out of the building. The intruders took the majority of the blueprints that were in the room and were about to head out from the floor when the lights were suddenly off and gunshots filled the hallways along with loud combat boots sounds.

When the light came back on, the majority of the NCT members came, cornering the intruders who were on the floor, bleeding out as the members shot them but not at their vital organs. At one corner, Taeyong came forward while on the other corner was Johnny who did the same thing. Both men looked at the intruder who looked like he was going to pee in his pants but instead of shooting them or doing anything violent, both men moved forward and softly took their girlfriends away from the scene as the other members took care of the intruders.

NCT Penthouse - Taeyong’s penthouse

Back at Taeyong’s penthouse, both Taeyong and Johnny immediately got their girlfriends treated by Kun and XIaojun. After they were treated, Taeyong softly asked Eunji what exactly happened because Yangyang only told them that there was an intruder in the building and that both Eunji and Chriss were heading to the secret floor.

Once Eunji told them everything, both Taeyong and Johnny looked at each other and though the two of them want nothing more to torment the intruders, they knew that taking care of their girlfriends came first.

Taeyong decided to cook for the four of them while Johnny prepared some movie night to calm both girls’ nerves even if he and Taeyong were still angered at what happened.

“I’m sorry” Eunji spoke, grabbing Taeyong’s attention who was softly playing with her hair as she was laying on his chest while Johnny and Chriss were back at Johnny’s penthouse

“What are you sorry for? If anything I’m sorry for always getting you stuck in these kind of situations” Taeyong replied

“It wasn’t your fault, bubu. Plus, I was a recruit before I was your girlfriend. It’s still my duty to deal with these things” Eunji mentioned

“I know. I know you’re still apart of all of this and as much as I want to offer you a normal life, I know that I can’t just yet. But I’m grateful how understanding you are with all of this and how patient you have been with the situations. I just wish that you wouldn’t be so stubborn and go out of your way to deal with this on your own. At least ask a member to come with you” Taeyong lectured while Eunji just draw circles on his chest

“Lil rose…” Taeyong called out, making Eunji stared at him but decided to tease him by softly kissing his jawline, making the mafia leader groan in frustration before turning their positions around and pining the girl underneath him

“Don’t tempt me, babe, I’m already frustrated and annoyed about the intruders” Taeyong warned but Eunji wrapped her arms around her boyfriend

“I’m not. Plus, you’re not the only one that’s frustrated” Eunji smirked before squealing as Taeyong suddenly lifted her up

“Well then, let’s both relieve that frustration, shall we?” Taeyong smirked, softly pecking Eunji’s lips before carrying her to his room

Johnny’s Penthouse - Johnny’s POV

After we’ve had dinner and watch a movie at Taeyong’s penthouse, Chriss looked tired so I decided to let Taeyong know that we would be heading back to my penthouse first before anything else we have to do.

Back at my penthouse, Chriss and I were chilling on the bed while we watch through her favorite show, Avatar the Last Airbender. In the midst of the show, I noticed that Chriss fell asleep and smiled to myself knowing that she was able to rest despite what she had to go through today.

But right when I tucked her in, I noticed that her breathing was out of control and she started to stir around in her sleep. Worried, I immediately sat next to her and gently shook her until she woke up.

When Chriss woke up, I handed her some water before getting under the covers next to her, wrapping my arm around her small body. “It must’ve been scary”

But as I expected, Chriss just cuddled closer and grabbed my shirt, nodding her head. “I know that Eunji is one of your friends here but why did you take the risk and followed her when you know it could be dangerous?”

“B-because, I want to help her. I want to help you” Chriss let out, looking at me with her doe eyes which makes me want to just squeeze her tightly and never let go

“Flower. You’re too sweet but it makes me worry you know. I’m worried that something worse could’ve happened even if it didn’t. I know you’re bored staying here on your own and just going to college but I’m still worried about you. If you wanted to train some self-defense then I can help with that but other than that, I wouldn’t want you to be involved in anything dangerous, okay?” I rambled on which made Chriss chuckle

“What’s so funny? I’m being serious here. I’m worried you know that” I groaned but Chriss hugged me tighter

“I know. But you look funny when you ramble like that. You like more approachable this way” Chriss chuckled, making me smile bigger

“Only for you that is” I smiled, bringing Chriss closer and kissed the top of her head, being with her until she fell asleep

NCT HQ - 1:27 am (3rd POV)

After both their respective girlfriends finally went into their slumber, both Taeyong and Johnny headed back to the NCT HQ together and once arrived, they immediately headed to where they would always keep their captives.

Reaching one of the rooms, the two met up with Jaehyun along with Yuta who were both waiting for them. “Apparently they’re all just some kids. Well, they’re practically in their late teens, early twenties but kids nonetheless” Yuta stated

“I doubt they’re kids if they’re as old as some of our younger members. They’re old enough to take responsibility for their actions” Johnny scoffed but Taeyong made no comment

Instead, Taeyong made his way into the room and unlike previous rooms, this one actually looked like a classroom with the teacher’s desk in the far front and there were around 20 desks and chairs in the room. Only instead of students, the room was filled with the intruders who tried to steal from them and were tied down to their chairs.

“Were you really going to hurt them?” was all Taeyong asked to the intruders, specifically targeting towards the leader amongst them

When he didn’t hear any answer Taeyong sighed and went up towards them and in a blink of an eye, Taeyong managed to scare everyone by pointing one of his knives by the leader’s throat, making them swallow their saliva.

“Yuta was right. You all should be grateful that you’re just a bunch of kids. Granted that you’re as old as some of our youngest members. But that doesn’t mean we won’t discipline you. Isn’t that right, Johnny?” Taeyong stated, looking at his fellow 95 line mate who looked at the intruders with a smirk

“Of course. What kind of leaders are we if we don’t discipline troublemakers” Johnny smirked as the two most feared men in NCT tormented their intruders

A/n: I'm so sorry I've been MIA for 2 months but life has been busy. I travelled for 2 weeks, was sick for 2 weeks and now just started a new job, somehow have a lot of freelance to do and yea, life is pretty hectic. But I hope that everyone's 2024 has been good, if not, we're on the same page then.

Also, am so sad that TY is finally going to enlist but I shall wait patiently for his return :') also", does anyone play nct zone? If you do, please message me so we can be mutuals in the game. Kay. I have one more request for the NCT mafia fic. If anyone wants to request anything, even just a simple one-shot, just hit me up. I shall now go back to suffer this office job that I haven't even worked for 1 week yet :))

Who Will Be Odium’s Champion?

[Major spoilers through Rhythm of War!!]

Poor Odium. He needs a champion to fight Dalinar, and none of his plans have been working out. He tried to get Dalinar to be his champion, but that failed. Then I think he tried to get Kaladin, if I understood Rhythm of War correctly, but that also failed. And he needs a willing champion, so it has to be someone he can convince, and it needs to happen within the next ten narrative days.

So let’s write a list that will probably age very, very badly! Who are some candidates for Odium’s champion-to-be?

1. Moash

How Odium would pitch it: “Hey man, want to be my champion?” I mean, I feel l like this one would be easy. Moash works for Odium. Moash was already willing to kill Teft and volunteered to drive Kaladin to suicide. Plus Moash lowkey wants to die himself. Asking Moash to fight Dalinar to the death would be like asking him to go grab some eggs from the grocery store.

Likely Effectiveness: Not high, to be honest. I’m not convinced that Moash would win a fight with Bondsmith Dalinar--especially under the assumption that we’re going to get a big Bondsmith training montage in Book 5. And I feel like this wouldn’t be narratively satisfying either. Moash vs. Kaladin? I’m already sobbing. Moash vs. Dalinar? I mean...kinda meh, right?

2. El

How Odium would pitch it: “Hey, man, want to be my champion?” El is one of the Fused, and works for Odium. He’s the guy who appeared right at the end of Rhythm of War and killed the Pursuer, if you don’t remember. He used to be Vyre. He likes humans. He wants Humans & Singers to join forces under Fused rule. So presumably he’d be up for the Champion business.

Likely Effectiveness: Somewhat high. We don’t really know what El is capable of, but he appears dramatically at the end of Rhythm of War and the Pursuer seems scared of him. So presumably he is very powerful. I don’t know how emotionally resonant it would be for El to fight Dalinar, but I do wonder if that’s why he’s being introduced.

3. Nale

How Odium would pitch it: “Singers are the rightful rulers of this planet, and I am their leader. I am the highest law.” Nale and the Skybreakers have joined forces with the Singers, arguing--and they have a point--that it’s the Singers’ planet to begin with. Nale follows the law of whatever land he is in, and he kills criminals. If Odium presents himself as the Law and Dalinar as the Lawbreaker, then, well...

Likely Effectiveness: Pretty high. Nale is a Herald and has gone through all of the oaths. We haven’t seen him in many fights, but he has been fighting for a very, very long time. And he knows what Bondsmiths can do, so he’ll be ready for whatever Dalinar has learned.

4. Kelsier/Thaidakar or Restares

How Odium would pitch it: “Hey, do you want to finally get off of this fucking planet?” I’m putting these two together because I think the pitch would be the same. Kelsier and Restares are both bound to their planets, and they both DESPERATELY want off. Kelsier also needs a body. If Odium could make that happen for them, would they be willing to kill one dude to make it happen? Maybe. This feels to me like a very Taravangian-esque plot, too.

Likely effectiveness: Pretty high. Restares is a Harald, so the stuff I said about Nale applies to him as well. If Kelsier got a body back AND could use his powers, then he could almost certainly give Dalinar a run for his money. Plus, wouldn’t it be cool to see a stormlight vs. allomancy fight?

5. Ishar

How Odium would pitch it: “Ready to take your rightful place as the new Honor?” I ran out of ideas and stole this one from Kaladin22 from this forum. Kaladin22′s post is very detailed, whereas my post is jokey, so I’ll just point out that Ishar believes that he is a god-king and wants to rule the land. If Odium offered him that at the price of Dalinar’s life, how could Ishar refuse?

Likely effectiveness: Very high. Ishar is a bondsmith like Dalinar, but one who actually knows how to use his powers. A Bondsmith vs. Bondsmith fight sounds incredibly cool. Plus Kaladin is heading to Shinovar specifically to therapy Ishar better. If instead Ishar decides to go kill Dalinar, that would break Kaladin. And if there’s one thing Sanderson likes to do, it’s to make Kal suffer.

6. Baby Gavinor

How Odium would pitch it: “Do you want to get revenge for your father’s death? It was Dalinar’s fault, you know.” Once again, this idea is stolen--this time from PootisPoot on this Reddit thread. Gavinor is a serious and traumatized child who knows his dad was murdered. The idea is that Odium could pretty easily twist that--and that Taravangian-Odium totally would.

Likely effectiveness: Very high. Dalinar killing his brother’s son, after failing to protect Elhokar? When the price of losing is just Dalinar’s own soul? I think Dalinar would throw that fight.

7. Jasnah

How Odium would pitch it: We’re back to my ideas! Jasnah is logical and cares deeply about the greater good. If Odium could convince her that his winning is actually the key to protecting Roshar in the coming, all-Cosmere war, then perhaps Jasnah would listen.

Likely effectiveness: Very high. Not only is Jasnah extremely badass, but I’m not convinced that Dalinar would be willing to kill her, no matter what. Whereas if Jasnah had to kill Dalinar? I think she’d do it. And I think she’d do it well.

8. Zellion

How Odium would pitch it: I mean...we know very little about this character. I suppose it would be something like: “Hey, Zellion. You know that thing that you, Zellion, value above all other Zellion things? You, Zellion, shall have it!”

Likely effectiveness: Assured. So far as we know, Zellion has never failed at anything.

Opinions? Take the poll!

Things I Liked About Wish (2023)

• Asha’s dress! It’s a style Disney has never used before and one that’s not often used in animation. It was so refreshing and really pretty!

• Star’s expressiveness! The audience could always tell what they were thinking even though they couldn’t talk. Just here to have fun with fun people but oh no there’s a big meanie messing that up and we gotta stop him.

• Asha’s friends! I wish we could have seen more of them as it’s hard to develop that many characters in such a short time, but they did what they could with the time they got and they laid the potential groundwork for future stories (spinoff tv show spinoff tv show???)

• The diversity! If I remember correctly the movie is set on a Mediterranean island, and that’s a great place geographically to put different cultures and peoples mixing (gives me live action Little Mermaid vibes in that way?)

• All the references and Easter eggs! IMO they were perfectly balanced to not be too overbearing in the movie - enough so that when they happened you could laugh and say “hey I understood that one!” but not too distracting as they didn’t interfere with the plot.

• Valentino! I loved bringing back talking animal companions in a realistic way (as realistic as magic can be). Love that there was an actual explanation for the animal companion talking instead of either a) not explaining it or b) having the animal understand English and communicate their thoughts through facial expressions but still be unable to speak. Not that either of these are bad, it was just refreshing to have a new option!

• The new art style! It was so soft and pretty, a perfect balance of the timeless fairytale old movie style and modern animation.

There’s more but I might make longer posts about them!

if everything karlie posted are actually Easter Eggs for her showing up at the premiere, i truly deeply hope she shows up with taylor as her friend again. people dragged her hard for showing up at Eras with no proof she's in contact with Taylor. can't fathom the hate if she does it again. i hope they're both fucking aware of that. like fr if she shows up like she came on her own again i'd be starting to think we got this wring and and she's actually trying to get taylor's attention & taylor's just ignoring her. i'm nervous for karlie at this point. i've been willing to overlook taylor not doing much to clear karlie of these betrayal allegations but if this happens a 2nd time and don't even take a selfie i think shit might be going wrong bts. karlie does seem smart though so i pray she knows how badly it'll look for her if she goes and doesn't associate with taylor at all

hmm i dunno.. does it really look bad for her outside of twitter people that don’t know what they’re talking about?

because she keeps adding on partnerships and attending new conferences and kwk is going strong and i just don’t get the sense she took a hit.

i get the distinct impression that karlie really doesnt care about the opinions of the people who don’t understand. or to put it another way, i think what would be more important to karlie is taylor acknowledging what she does. that she understands. and that’s something we as fans cannot necessarily see.

idk if i can express this correctly but to me it’s something that happens with long term partners all the time. my interpretation of things based on songs and other stuff is that, i think there was a point in time where karlie was left wondering if taylor understood how she (and josh) were treating her (song candidates including stuff like illicit affairs, the great war, wcs, ylm) or if taylor appreciated the sacrifices to her life that she was making.

like maybe at some point in the rhythm taylor began cutting corners on communication and assuming that karlie would implicitly agree with whatever things she would set up, and so maybe she did not take as much care as she could have here and there, and maybe it was a sense of being taken for granted that hurt, or moments where taylor may have succumb to paranoia and did things without trusting her that hurt. i think those are the things that hurt, not what any rando on the internet might say.

i get the sense that karlie bottled up these feelings until they burst out, upon which taylor and karlie finally had an honest conversation about it, and they got on the same page, and taylor wrote many songs that articulated how she understands karlie (afterglow, renegade, among others).

one thing i know is karlie would not have gone to eras tour so soon after giving birth if the opinions of people on the internet hurt her. full stop. let alone so soon postpartum. i don’t care how much you hate someone you are simply not going to a coliseum full of beasts when your body is —for lack of a more polite but expressive phrase— still mushy. so i can only assume that they are in lock step about what they would do and that taylor has become probably quite careful about the way she sets things up and expresses her appreciation for karlie along the way.

Darts Of Pleasure

cw: 18+ content, AFAB reader, eggpreg, Iron Moth Ingo, monsterfucking,

Pairing: Ingo/Reader

The Iron Moth hybrid was frustrated.

Beyond frustrated, actually.

Ingo was fully aware of his worth, especially in comparison to the past iterations of himself that this crater seemingly summon just to spite him in particular.

You were his mate, there was no mistaking that. All his readings had come back correctly. Your memory must have been wiped when you both had come through the time portal, which is why you currently even entertained the idea that a Volcarona and Slither Wing hybrid could even possibly be a more viable mate than him. Granted, he was aware of the appeal to fully biological beings held, yet he wondered how a prehistoric hybrid even stood a chance. They lacked even the ability to communicate in a language you could understand!

So, as you spent your time going between the three of them or off on your own, he began to wonder how to prove himself to you. He considered the other aspects of his competition that had eluded him. Maybe the strength and primordial nature of Slither Wings could be an attractive trait that he lacked. The Slither Wing version of himself could easily make you feel safe… Not to mention all of the fluff his body contained. There was an appeal with that, too. The Volcarona hybrid was similar but more homely, almost. He spoke in a modern tongue and understood the world you existed in easily. The Volcarona Ingo had somehow convinced you that you were long-term friends as well.

The Iron Moth hybrid felt as if he had nothing. He was neither beefy nor was he something of this modern earth. (He was not an extraterrestrial either, despite the badgering of you and the Volcarona hybrids. Whatever article had claimed that simply lacked imagination for the future.) He offered himself as a charging port for your inferior device often, to keep you tethered to him and allow him to better assess what damage must have happened to your memory. Everything almost came back as if you were being a from the modern era. Ingo knew that was impossible, however.

“… You are my mate,” he tried again desperately, “I know all of your likes and dislikes. I have many data entries dedicated to you.” You sighed as you shook your head. Then, with a teasing grin, you looked at him.

“What sex toys do I like?” you asked snarkily. It was obvious you were trying to trip him up. He knew, naturally. It was something that was embarrassing to say aloud, but from all of your past sexual encounters, he was more than aware.

“Ovipositor toys, tentacles, and I believe you quite enjoyed my base – er, member, with a vibration setting,” he replied with his systems running hotter. Many memories of his experiences with you in bed rushed to the forefront of his mind. It had been quite a while since anything had happened between you both. He was a man of patience and often found himself without the desire for sex, yet his body could only go for so long.

“… Your base… member?” you tilted your head, “Are you saying you can change your dick out?”

“N-naturally, I am a biomechanical being,” Ingo tried to avoid eye contact as he explained his functions to you once more, “There are many setups that have been produced for my species in my time.” You stood with your jaw dropped for a moment. His readings told his curiosity was heavy on your mind. Had he finally found his way to appeal to you in ways that the others could not? “… I am more than willing to show you, dearest,” he whispered huskily into your ear.

You jumped away with a flustered expression. “I m-might just take you up on that one,” a laugh came from you, “… Do you lay eggs?”

Finally, the Iron Moth had you hook, line, and sinker.

Which is what led to him sitting across from you in your bed. He had stripped away the clothing of this period to leave himself bare for your eyes to take in once more. His body was covered in a metallic exoskeleton, as were most hybrids in the time he was from. Of course, the exception for most laid between their legs. His ovipositor laid hidden within a sheath, having not yet felt any sexual stimulation that would bring it out. You gazed at him with obvious curiosity.

“So, uh, how does this work?” you asked, shifting nervously. You, too, had shed most of your clothes, leaving yourself solely in your undergarments. It was nothing that he had not already seen, yet a flustered feeling still came up in his programming. The idea of explaining how he laid his eggs had never occurred to him. That conversation had been a while for you both, yet it had risen up again.

“My ovipositor leaves from its slit and me…” his felt utterly embarrassed saying the words, “I… Make love to you with it. Then I lay my pseudo-egg cells inside you…” A small laugh came from you at his words.

“Make love, Ingo?” you tilted your head, “You could be a mechanical moth from a billion years into the future, and you still can't say “fuck,” huh?” His eyes shot to the floor. You moved closer to him despite this. Smiling, you tilted your head. His heart raced. Images of you both underneath and on top of him filled his mind with desperate desire. This was his only chance to prove himself worthy against his opponents. “How does it come out?” you asked him as your hand rested on his thigh, “I don't see anything.”

He swallowed. Ingo chose to focus on the memories in his head to help gain his courage. Your moans, pleas, and cries while clinging on to him desperately. The lust pack you pleaded with him to install, activating with ease at these memories. He needed to make you feel good. You jumped when the hybrid came to stare at you with determined eyes.

Suddenly, like a switch was flipped in him, his hands came to your sides to lightly grope at them. Lips pressed to yours with ease as he remembered everything you liked. A hand dared fall to your ass to give a squeeze to a check while he worked to deepen the kiss. A quiet moan was ripped from you by his movements, encouraging his actions more. His other hand came up to your chest to swirl around a nipple playfully, helping work electric pleasure through your senses.

Your slightly nervous demeanour swapped into something more pliable and needy against him, making something deep inside his body churn. Easily, his ovipositor pressed out from its sheath. An aphrodisiac, lubricating fluid coated it, giving it a slight gleam in the low light of the room. You swallowed at the sight of it. “I-It looks like a Volcarona dick?” you phrased it as a question, despite it being more a declaration.

“… How many times have I told you that my species is what modern Volcaronas become?” he sighed and lightly pushed you down against the sheets, “I am a perfect culmination of everything they can do.” You were obviously amazed by his words, making him feel more confident in himself. “Would you like an ingestible aphrodisiac?” he offered, “I can produce one from saliva glands.”

“… Maybe later?” you seemed lost in awe, “I guess you are a poison-type…” He most certainly was. It just rarely had any proper use outside of combat scenarios, which he preferred to avoid whenever he could. His wing pieces fluttered out from his back. Playful, he lifted your neck as he kissed down the skin. While you had denied ingestion, the fluid was spread across your body by him. You whined at the sudden sensitivity it brought. A light nibble by him on your collarbone allowed a cry to leave you. All your noises made him shudder in pleasure. There was nothing else on this planet he found himself adoring in this way.

He continued down your torso and until he found himself between your legs. His hands carefully held your thighs apart as he found himself gazing at your pussy again after so long. Nothing was different from how it was in his memory. Light kisses were peppered onto your thighs before he moved to the centre.

You moaned as the flat of his tongue pressed between your lower lips, spreading the aphrodisiac around your clit as he moved to circle it. The heat from the areas his lips had been mixed with the heightened sensation at your most sensitive point. His lips suckled on his bud as you resisted, bucking your hips against his face desperately. Your nerves were lit on fire with nothing but pleasure thanks to his actions.

Another cry left your mouth as he shifted to press his tongue into your entrance, smearing more of his saliva around. You finally gave into your urges and bucked up against his face, simply needing to feel something more than what he was giving you. An actual chuckle came from him at your actions. He was often used to being the receiving end of this treatment, so getting to dish it out instead made him oddly smug. Pulling his mouth away from your pussy, he moved to rest his head against your chest as he pressed a finger inside you.

That quickly shifted to two as you demanded more… And then three, when you whined that it still was not enough to get you off. Ingo would admit that seeing you all needy for him did something to his heart, especially after having to deal with all the competition in the other moth hybrids. “You are utterly adorable like this,” the words left him with little thought. You shot a weak glare down at him, but it was quick dismissed when the tips of his fingers brushed against a sensitive area inside you. He immediately took to targeting the area. Quickly, his fingers fucked you into a short orgasm.

You laid against the bed, panting heavily, as Ingo moved up from his previous position. Momentarily, you laid out of it. Ingo adored the sight of you laying there, having been undone by his touch. His heart raced in his chest as you turned to look at him with desire still heavy in your eyes. “... I want more, still,” you told him, “Please, Ingo, fuck me more.” His system's immediate response to scold you for your language was overwritten, as he desperately wanted to exactly what you asked for.

Ingo positioned himself between your legs once more. This time, however, he took a pose with them thrown over his shoulders rather than held back by his hands. His ovipositor laid against your abdomen, showing off the size of the organ. You swallowed at the sight. “You requested this size,” he explained, “Are you ready, dearest?” Ingo would not continue without confirmation.

“D-damn it, Ingo, yes!” you whined and bucked up against him. His systems stuttered at your words. When it all came back together, he quickly moved the head of his dick to your entrance. The warmth quickly surrounded him, filling his brain with that instinctual pleasure that simply could not be derived from anything else. You whined as he slowly filled you up. Your hand tightly grasped the sheets as he bottomed out. The stretch was wonderful. “So big,” you murmured.

Ingo stilled for a moment, giving you time to adjust. His eyes observed your face for any obvious discomfort or pain, but he saw nothing but pleasure. “Once again, this size was your request, my love,” he repeated. Everything he had bothered to customise himself with, outside of the few features he had wanted, were all for you. Ingo wanted no other being to be his mate. His wing pieces tensely pressed against his back with the subtle pleasure in his system.

“G-good choice, then,” you laughed, “Move, please.” Your wish was his command as he quickly began to move his hips at a slow and steady pace. The feeling of his ovipositor was quite different from any human dick or dildo that had come before. You moaned loudly when he sped up. His cock brushed perfectly against the sensitive spots inside you, amped up by the aphrodisiac mix in the lubricant fluid that coated the member. He hit you deep, too, thanks to the position that he had taken.

A loud cry came when his cock finally hit the entrance of your womb. Words had since been lost as you both grew more entangled in pleasure. You clenched around him after he brought his thumb to work your clit. Pleasure kept building inside of you as the combined surges from both his assaults. Another orgasm quickly spilled out from you. This time, however, more and more pleasure flooded your already saturated brain as he fucked you through your orgasm. His LED eyes were squeezed shut as his wing pieces limply hovered behind him. Your overstimulation bled into another small orgasm quickly. The Iron Moth hybrid left you drowning in pleasure.

Finally, Ingo showed a sign of slowly down as his hips stuttered out a few more thrusts before his ovipositor stilled, tip pressed flush to your cervix. A swollen bump at the base of his ovipositor had you swallowing your spit as it moved down the shaft slowly. The stretch against your already abused walls had your toes curling. It stopped deep inside you, having met its first barrier. Before you could even wonder what was to follow, Ingo's thumb moved against your clit frantically. Your body shuddered as you came again. It was during this moment of weakness, the egg popped deep inside you with a gush of fluid.

“Wh-what?” you managed to get out, but Ingo quickly pressed his lips to yours to silent you. The feeling of another egg moving down his shaft was apparent at the same time. It met little resistance unlike its predecessor and rolled inside you with more fluid. Ingo's mouth was sweet against yours, likely a product of the aphrodisiac fluid he produced. The fluid lit another fire inside you as two eggs followed each other in quick succession down his shaft. The plopped inside you easily. You began to lose track of the time as more mini orgasms overtook you, with eggs moving quicker inside you.

When it all finally came to an end, you found yourself slightly swollen with eggs. Your mind was too exhausted to properly assess anything, however. Ingo pulled out, watching as some of the cushioning fluid leaked out. The Iron Moth easily moved you under the covers as he wiped some sweaty strands away from your face. One last kiss was pecked to your temple, and he moved to lay in bed beside you.

“I love you, dearest,” his voice rumbled as you drifted asleep, “... I'll make sure we get home safely.”

Pokemon IRL Au: starters, theories, and Domestication.

So I was watching one of those, 'What If (-this state-) had starter pokemon' videos and i just kinda went off with my imagination, this prompt starts with my initial comment on the video, so sorry that it just flow as well as it does when seen as a comment on a video.

The mental image of the version of our world where pokemon exist, and each State apparently selectively breeding their own unique set of starters and probably have a f**k ton of 'regional variants' that are basically just a paldea Tauros situation all over the country just scrambles my brain a bit to much.

Like one states starter has a evolutionary ancestor thats treated like a infestation in some of the other states! A raccoon pokemon starter that now has three stages, when in some of the other states a raccoon pokemon that the starter descended from is a two stage, but its evolved form is strong as f**k, like pseudo legendary status strong!

imagine all the regular pokemon we know that had populations caught and domesticated into starter pokemon, that'd be so freaking cool! like, they'd have to breed with other pokemon of the same egg group to be made a certain type and desired move set. imagine the type of breeding methods it takes to develope the Torrent, Overgrow, and Blaze abilitys, we all know there's a bug type version called Swarm, but how do they develope in the breeding of starter pokemon. if you think about it from the stand point of, gain more power when your backs against the wall, it becomes a little morbid in a sense. Do you actively have them fight in a way that forces them to give it beyond their all when they are in trouble?

imagine if the Elemental monkeys were an attempt to breed some starter pokemon from the same evolutionary(darwinian) ancestor, but the original breeders(who were probably spread across the world in different isolated places, and swapped around certain members to other breeders to prevent incest breeding) stopped part way through, and just released the monkeys, and because they all lived together in labs the trio of species naturally are drawn too and live along side each other! makes me curious about the original, maybe it was a triple branch evo, that leads to a dual type in each one, which is why it was chosen, and where the stone evolution was from. Maybe it wasn't even the same types as the elemental monkeys, but were secondary typings, like a normal type that evolves into three dual types of Dark/fire, Psychic/water, or Ghost/Grass using the Dusk, Dawn, and shiny stones? I wonder what the final results would have been like, maybe they would have a hidden ability that allowed them apply Stab to moves based on the type of evo stone they were holding! The theme these three had was Chefs if I remember correctly.

I'm sure some species had the triple stage evos naturally, but I'm certain not all of them had them.

I'd love to see domesticated descendants of known pokemon that were breed into starter pokemon, like a Fire starter that descended from Lucario, of course none of the stages could be called Lucario after its domestication and breeding.

Maybe I should do something with this? Like I come up with a large group of wild fakemon based on animals found in my state and those around it, and choose three to be made into starters, I'll probably use that Raccoon example, I've been seeing alot of Raccoon recently, but only as roadkill, which is pretty morbid, but also a somewhat good inspiration, ghost typing, but for the wild ancestor thats still running around.

-maybe in this Au, someone has actually bred The Shinx line to be Dark type? Though I never understood everyone's obsession with being mad about that, Incineroar is literally a wrestler, I dont see people being mad its not a fire/fighting type, and I don't care about if its because of the drama of Fire/Fighting type starters. Same thing with Absol, it has Psychic powers to perceive incoming disasters, and its a pure dark type, I dont see people getting mad about that! Its dark type literally only aligns with its emo obsession of needing to be mysterious and socially awkward!

-also, this breeding thing could contribute to more powerful versions of pokemon. Mega evolutions literally just stacks the biological potential of the pokemon into what it'll naturally develope into in the future, and unlocks some dormant genes. I'm sure you could literally breed that kind of result into a species. Maybe its how 'mega evolution' could exist in this universe, just, literal battle bred breeds of pokemon. I'm sure the tributes of the Primal Paradox pokemons designs could work for 'Mega Bred' breeds. Maybe the idea developed from some old action show, and the show used the fictional 'mega evolution' as the gimmick in it, and people just, liked it and applied natural logic and science to it and bred these Uber strong pokemon.

-the gender ratio of starter pokemon was also likely bred on purpose, and likely most females are held so its harder for others to bred their own for a profit.

Ascendance of a Bookworm Fanbook 4 Q&A [4/?]

This translation is not supposed to replace the official releases of the series. Please purchase the official fanbook when it becomes available!

Contains spoilers for Part 1 - Part 4

Ⓠ Is there a perceivable difference in the average height of individuals of different duchies or social statuses? (For example, due to the availability of food, or lack thereof.)

Ⓐ The average height of people is roughly the same across all duchies. The height difference between nobles and commoners is about 7-8 centimeters. Nobles are on average taller than commoners. Gunther and Benno, who are considered tall among commoners, are roughly as tall as the average noble.

----

Ⓠ In part 2, when Myne and Tuuli were sewing stuffed animals, does the polar bear-like animal Tuuli made actually exist?

Ⓐ It’s just that Myne felt it looked like a polar bear. It’s possible it was something completely different.

----

Ⓠ Is there a minimum age for drinking alcohol?

Ⓐ There isn’t.

----

Ⓠ What is Hugo’s ex-lover thinking right now?

Ⓐ Nothing in particular. Hugo is one of many men she dated, she won’t spare him a thought unless his name is brought up. She met a man who met her criteria, got married, and is just living life.

----

Ⓠ Can all the Gutenberg’s read?

Ⓐ No, not all of them can. Johan and Zack only learned to read the words that are necessary to understand any schematics, and Heidi is only interested in learning to read the names of the ingredients she uses.

----

Ⓠ When printing with metal letter types, the number of characters per line and the number of lines per page are fixed. Does Elvira’s writing team use something (like a squared manuscript paper with space for 400 characters) to create their manuscripts? Or do they simply write however they want and is their manuscript edited at the printing workshop?

Ⓐ For now, their writing is edited at the printing workshop.

----

Ⓠ Is the owner of the workshop where Effa works a close relative of hers? It really surprised me when she suddenly selected a piece of high-quality fabric fit for the archducal family and took it home. I assume she had permission, but I imagined she would have to be closely related to receive permission to bring such an expensive fabric home with her. Am I right?

Ⓐ In general, all people introduced to a workshop have a strong connection to it, like family members. Therefore, craftsmen’s workshops have a strong family business mentality. Of course, she received permission. Nevertheless, weavers sometimes bring high-quality thread home with them, and no one was surprised when Myne brought expensive thread home so Tuuli and Effa could make hairpins, so it’s not an all that unusual practice.

----

Ⓠ Am I correct to assume that since Effa was awarded the title Renaissance, her family’s standard of living is considerably higher than their neighbors?

Ⓐ By all rights, they could move into a better house.

----

Ⓠ If I understood correctly, Lutz’s family is keeping chickens and trading the eggs they lay, but I doubt they have a full-size chicken ranch, so what is the situation? Doesn’t it stink? When the whole city was still dirty it may not have mattered, but what about now? Isn’t it hard for Karla to take care of them all by herself? Do they keep them somewhere outside the house after all?

Ⓐ They are still keeping them in the attic room. Lutz’s family isn’t the only one keeping chickens. Some families even keep pigs, and there are butchers who will process them. The bad smell, or rather the smell of daily life remains the same. While the scattered human waste disappeared from the streets, their way of life is still different from modern Japan. Although Karla essentially takes care of the chickens by herself, please don’t forget about Ralph. He still lives with his parents. When he gets married, one of their sons will offer to live with their parents.

On today's episode of I Work In A Comic Shop, I'm crying just a little bit.

I'm setting up for my weekly kids' game of D&D - the last one for a while, before I go to college. I'd mentioned this to everyone last week, mostly to give them the heads-up that they'd have a different DM soon.

And they surprised me with good-bye presents.

One boy, we'll call him X, came in with both his parents. He was the 8-year-old who last week made me realize that Big Hero 6 is somehow not a new movie anymore. He's also our party's goblin druid, who can wild shape into a giant frost salamander (with crocodile stats other than size. He wanted to be able to use his super-badass mini he'd been painting. We found a way :3). They all come in, and he's getting settled while I'm grabbing stools and finishing setting up the table, and X says "We brought you a present."

And he gently slides across the table to me, a little lizard mini. It's hand-painted, has some turf around its feet (including a skull - this kid loves skulls and gore and I'm honored that he gave me a skull too) and is on a base maybe the size of a nickel. He then proceeds to tell me all about how he painted it, how he used tweezers to set the itty-bitty rocks into place. And his parents explain that he looks forward to these games every weekend. Me too kiddo. Me too. 🥹

Fast-forward to the end of the adventure. The day has been saved, rewards have been granted, and we're starting to tidy up. And this girl (we'll call her Y) and her dad (he'll be Z), who've been at almost every one of my games for the past two months, slide an envelope over to me.

It's a lovely Robin's-egg blue, and it has my name written on the back. The handwriting is definitely Y's, a little messy in that kid way but extremely sweet. My name is even spelled correctly. (I have an extremely uncommon name and most people forget how to spell it, including some of my coworkers and occasional my friends. To be clear, I don't mind in the least if it's misspelled - but seeing that they took the extra second to get it right really does strike me as extra sweet.) And inside is a very sweet message, signed by the both of them. (Also, some cash. They really didn't have to- 😭💜).

So I'm gonna talk about Y for a minute. The first day she and Z came in was Father's Day, with a bit of an unusual request. Normally, parents leave their kids alone to play and then pick them up a few hours later. Z explained that Y is autistic, and gets really bad social anxiety on her own, especially alone. (Honestly? Not sure if was neurodivergence [I've never been tested], but I was just as freaked out by strangers and loud other kids at her age. I understood.) So Z asked if it would be okay for him to hang out, and kind of be her spokesperson so it was less scary. I was fine with this, and so was the other dad and his son who showed up later that day. Again, it was Father's Day, so the dads actually joined in on the game. Y and Z came back pretty much every week after that. And every time, Y got a little less shy and a little more comfortable. The last few weeks, I've seen her laughing and joking and coming up with crazy schemes with the other kids, even at a full table of 5 or 6 others. I've been so excited every time I see her laugh, because I know that a couple months ago, she wouldn't have.

Anyways. I'm gonna miss the crap out of these kids.

More Vivs stuff...

If I could, I would make a song fit for Vivs, animate it and try to get Christian Älvestam (Solution 45., Miseration, Svavelvinter etc) to be his singing voice. And yes, he growls AND sings.

Anyone..?

Uhm...

This was around the time when we had to bring the Skyscale Eggs with us all around the world to make them used to Tyria’s nature. The tasks were... interesting...

Another task...

And after it hatched...

Awkward...

The Commander seems to be doomed to be alone.

I think I drew this around the time before the episode where they tried to kill Kralkatorrik for the first time.

Finally!

Meet Billyus (Billy, Bill). He’s like Vividatt except he’s a heterosexual and has not much sense of responsibility. Mesmer.

He is into pain. As well as people that are kind, innocent and highly intelligent.

Yep yep...

Their band’s name is Perturbation.

This I drew after the prologue of the Icebrood Saga. I know... That’s a funny looking charr. ^^;

I didn’t mean to... I was drawing just some random guy, but this guy ended up looking like Jackcepticeye... - w - ;

Kexitonn (Kex). This guy and Vividatt concider each other as very good friend. Kex is a bit more to the serious side, but doesn’t get angry easily. He loves making music and is in fact the composer of their band. His main genre is heavy metal. He usually wears his hair up in a mohawk, but usually at gigs lets it hang free. Kexitonn hopes to find a female partner to have a family with, but is struggling with his feelings for Vividatt. And because of those feeling he does not really mind Vivs’ sexual harassing, but always expresses how it is NOT honorable behavior. He is an inventor of many instrument -based magitech machinery, such as giant golem -speakers, and even uses instruments as weapons. He is an extrovert, but still prefers to do music alone. He also has a habit of drinking certain tea at five o’clock, even if they were in the middle of a fight... This tea seems to calm people down... A bit too much...

...

Happy Halloween?

It’s a one way to keep boredom away...

Happy New year? Well, Taimi is actually still underaged here. I think she was 17 when this happened. But if I understood correctly what I read, asura has a bit more complicated way of deciding if an asura is considered an adult or not. Vivs tends to get really flirty when he’s drunk, but he still feels bad for doing it. Taimi doesn’t think this as a bad thing. It’s just a kiss, right?

... Vividatt! Stop that!

You know that sticky stuff that Engineers use to slow enemies down?

And Gorrik interrupts... ^^;

Justice..?

Just for a little second there Vivs managed to stop himself with bony hands holding him back from attacking her. > .>

I mean, when you think about what that human at the apple tree area said about trees being male and female...

Nothing’s going on here...

She’s testing Kasmeer’s ability to detect liars... ^^;

And he will always be alert for more...

... behold.

Vivs hates to be reminded of Taimi’s short lifespan.

He’s such a flirt.

I was wondering if Taimi ever wanted to try the mounts. ANd what if she wanted to try the springer? Vivs does not use the springer that much simply because the jumping makes his magitech chastity belt vibrate... And now that Taimi is sitting on his lap...

Gotta admit that Braham’s spider phobia is kinda cute. ^^

You better stop what you’re planning there, Vivs.

When he gets drunk or high, a lot of weird stuff happens.

I read that the Elder Dragons don’t have exactly a gender. They simply identify as more or less feminine or masculine. But if they did..? ALso I love how in the Icebrood Saga if your Commander happens to be an asura, they are surrounded by all these tall norn and charr. X3

Pertutbation is having a gig again.

Now I’m not sure if that’s his blood or someone else’s. I seriously can’t remember. ^^;

Just chilling at his private lab after the events of End of Dragons.

And at the Joon’s mansion.

Opportunity ruined. They did get her out by putting something between the hatch and then pushing her inside Scruffy 2.0. From there she could fix Scruffy and let herself out again. X3

Wanted to draw the scene where Taimi and Vivs meet again after a little pause in Icebrood Saga. And yes. That is supposed to be Ryland Steelcatcher. I know... Taimi wasn’t in her golem, but details chmetails... - w -;

Have you had more hot or cold drinks today? More of cold. I will say though(!!!) I've recently...turned a shift towards hot coffee? Like this is not bad at all??? I've been having hot mugs all week long and it may very well grow to become a new habit of mine.

What's a name you like that's similar to yours? There aren't a lot of names that bear a similarity to Robyn per se, but in the sense that it's unisex I am generally a fan of such names – like Stevie, Frankie, Dylan, Billie/Billy...

Where did you get the last plate/bowl you ate with from? I don't know, these were the plates we've had from the day we moved in here. I'm guessing they were bought by my parents at some mall.

How's your mental health today? It is very stable and I can tell you it's because I don't have to think about work until Friday.

What bands and artists did you listen to when you were a teenager? Mainly Paramore, but there was a lot of punk rock in there as well. Rancid, H2O, The Bouncing Souls, Against Me!, The Misfits...I don't listen to them nearly as much anymore but I'll always have a soft spot for each of them and for that phase in my life.

Do your feelings get hurt easily? Yes, I'm quite sensitive.

What sort of restaurant did you last eat at? Well it was a Chili's, so. American and a bit of Mexican in there if I understood their concept correctly lol? Anyway, it was my first time eating there too and tbh I had had a high standard because of its price range, only to not be impressed. Why is it even so expensive there? They serve exactly the same stuff you'd find everywhere else.

Do you have a friend who's always sending you TikTok videos? Do you actually watch them? Kata used to send me TikTok videos until she stopped because I never was on the app, lol. Angela would still send me some occasionally, though.

Have you ever seen a cougar in the wild? Never.

Will you attend a wedding in the next 3 months? Unless I get an invitation from today, no.

Are you good at following instructions? They have to be written/printed out otherwise I'd forget instantly.

What's your backyard or outdoor area like? It's clean and plain, but we don't really do things there. We prefer to entertain guests in the living room or at the rooftop.

Do you like your boss? (or your last boss if you don't currently have one) Bea has always been a fantastic superior and mentor to me from the day I stepped in the workplace, which is why I'm gutted that she's leaving any day now. My personal work morale has been low ever since she announced the news and I still haven't figured out how I'm supposed to manage everything and everyone once she's actually out the door.

When was the last time you took a selfie? Does it count if it's a mirror selfie? I took a few ones at the salon earlier this afternoon when I was getting my hair dyed.

What did you have for breakfast yesterday? Fried rice with egg and ham bits.

What do you do to entertain yourself on a long flight or journey? I would download several YouTube videos in advance so I can watch them while offline.

Where are you right now? I'm at the rooftop but I literally am gonna pack up and go back to my room after this question because holy fuck does my back hurt.

Have you ever done a hearing test? Continued a whole day after. I don't think I have.

Do you hate small talk? Depends on how it goes. I'm pretty good with small talk but you can only do so much if the other person is too shy or is stingy with their responses. If I sense that they're not into conversing then I stop.

What's the hottest temperature your current town/city has ever had? There's no confirmed record for the hottest temperature in my city. I'm gonna guess somewhere between 40-45ºC though as summers can get brutal.

What programs/applications do you currently have open on the device you're using right now? I have Chrome, Spotify, and Notes.

How many steps per day do you do, generally? Hahahaha. I work from home and don't exercise so the average is less than 100 a day, embarrassingly enough. It's a different story when I get the chance to be outside because I do like to catch up on my steps; for days like those I would average anywhere between 8,000 to 10,000.

Have you had any snacks today? Yeah I had a couple bags of my favorite sweet corn chips. It's not as bad as it sounds – the bags are *really* tiny so that's why I had to have two of them lol.

Did you have any exchange students at your high school or university and did you become friends with them? We probably had batches of them come and go in college but I never did recognize them. My university has a huge population and it would've been impossible to know every single student.

What's the next thing you'll tick off your to-do list? It's a holiday tomorrow but I need to do a bit of work here and there just so I'm not completely stacked by Friday.

Have you ever had a chia pet? No.

What's your favourite sandwich filling? Pulled pork.

Do you have any nieces or nephews? Nopes.

What was the last reason you saw a doctor? Dog bite.

Do you use light mode or dark mode on your phone? It's been on dark mode for as long as I've had it.

my speech impediment experience

as an autistic person with ehlers-danlos syndrome, as well as a premature identical twin, it was basically expected that i was going to have speech delays as a child. here is my story, and sort of my speech journey!

(my speech impediment story is not the definitive story of the speech impediment experience. do not use my story as an end-all-be-all of authority, please!)

my mom was expecting to have me and my twin sister in late march, but something happened, and we came out very early, on january 30. since we were so premature and we were identical twins (we came from one egg that split), we came out very small (around 4 pounds each), and we had medical complications from the get-go.

being twins, we spent a lot of time together. and as we started to learn that our mouths could make specific sounds that meant specific things, the first people we tried this type of communication out on was each other, naturally. this led to the two of us developing our very own nonsense language.

for a very long time, my sister and i refused to speak in any other way besides our own language. it took us longer to reach milestones such as our first words as a result of this. we had to go to speech therapy to unlearn the habits we picked up while speaking in our language, since being babies, we didn't understand how to use our mouths effectively.

for a long time, my sister and i had speech therapy. we both struggled with a lot of articulation errors, and we both tended to speak quickly, which led to some stuttering issues.

we also both learned later in life that we likely have some form of dyspraxia, which explains a lot of the issues we were having with figuring out how to move our mouths the correct ways.

we were lucky that our speech impediments didn't fully follow us into adulthood, but for a lot of our early childhood, we still struggled with a lot of vocal things that our peers had already mastered. i have a video from when we were around eight years old, and my nickname for my sister is "madi", but instead of actually pronouncing it correctly, i would call her "m-ee-adi" instead, adding an "ee" sound where there wasn't supposed to be one.

we went to speech therapy until around third or fourth grade, and from there, we had learned enough skills to where our speech impediments were no longer getting in the way of our lives.

nowadays, i still occasionally struggle with certain things vocally. i am an actor, so diction is very important for me to be understood onstage, but i struggle a lot with making my words understandable. i often have to slow down and start over, and i get a lot of "what? i didn't catch that", even when i speak slower than my usual quick pace. speaking clearly takes a lot of effort for me, even years after all that speech therapy. for some people, speech impediments don't fully go away, even if they do get significantly more manageable.

that is my speech impediment journey! i wish i could have been more detailed and scientific with it, but i don't remember very much from my childhood period, and due to a lot of other complications, stuff like causes are very murky because a lot of different things could have caused my speech impediments.

i hope this helped educate anyone who wants to learn more about speech impediments!

I’ve seen it.

After two and a half weeks, history has been made: I finally saw Sonic 2 instead of seeing 75% of it through screencaps and gifs that have watermarks on them. I was arguing as to whether I should even bother bringing it up since everyone's already given their own thoughts by this point, meaning a latecomer like me will probably have nothing interesting or meaningful to add that hasn’t already been mentioned... but I might as well.

Anyway, after being really excited for it, and seeing all the screencaps, it pains me to say that I honestly found it really disapp-PFFFT, just kidding, I loved it even more than the first one. :D Was there any doubt? There's way too much to go over thoroughly this early on when I’m still pulsating with hype, so as I did with the first movie, I'll list the biggest bullet points that come to mind.

- Once again, Ben Schwartz delivers as Sonic, and this time he takes it a step further. While Movie Sonic is still his own being, you can tell that he's becoming increasingly more like Game Sonic, which is exactly what I predicted would happen long before Movie 2 started showing itself, and I'm glad to see the gears in action. Whether it's action, comedy, emotion, or just plain Sonic, Mr. Schwartz hits all the beats perfectly.

Also, after the fandom's fears about Sonic having too much of a superhero mentality with the Blue Justice stuff, it seemed that didn't have much presence past the start of the movie... which I ALSO predicted correctly. Where’s my betting money, Sonic fans.

- Once again (again), Jim Carrey as Robotnik is one of mankind's greatest achievements. I loved the shit outta this portrayal in the first movie, but now that he has the look, and a certain iconic giant robot, my appreciation is now at 200%. He continues to balance humor and menace without even trying, and if there was any doubt that Carrey understood the doctor's character before, that doubt has no reason to exist now.

I know some fans will gripe about him not being fat, but I honestly don't care (and I don't think it counts as fatphobia either... I really can't wrap my head around that in this particular case). An Eggman who looks different but gets the character at his core, is a lot better to me than an Eggman that looks the part, but drops the ball at every turn... Guess which one I’m thinking of.

Naturally I'm hoping with fingers crossed that he does indeed return for Movie 3 and/or beyond, as it just wouldn't be the same if he was a no-show for future installments. But regardless, if that fall towards the Death Egg Robot's wreckage is the last we see of him, then at least he went out like a badass. (“Later, hater!”)

- Once again (again-again), Tom Wachowski is in no way a Chris Thorndyke, as James Marsden continues to make him far more likable and helpful, and all without stepping on the other character's toes and stealing their moments. Maddie also continues to be a welcome face, and they both once again manage to feel important without taking the spotlight away from the character the movie is named after. I'm glad they've continued to be part of this franchise, despite the vocal idiots who claim that any non-Eggman human is automatically bad. (Spoiler: a Sonic character should be judged by their actual character and what they do, not their species.)

- Idris Elba leaves an incredible impact as Knuckles. When he first said those now iconic words, we all went “Wow!” more times than Owen Wilson, and since then, he's proven to add a lot of depth to his initial antagonistic relationship with Sonic, yet his turn to the hedgehog's side is equally organic and believable. You know Robotnik's betrayal is coming, it's a matter of when and not if, but you still feel bad for the guy when the penny finally drops, though that's certainly helped by how the movie is aware that there's a difference being gullibility and full-on stupidity. THIS Knuckles is not an idiot, rather he's simply not used to Earth customs, which Robotnik gleefully takes advantage of.

The moments where he shows vulnerability never feel out-of-character either, and his humorous moments are genuinely funny without sacrificing his overall dignity ala Sonic Boom. And although the context surrounding the echidnas and why they all got sent to the Shadow Realm is a little different from SA1's interpretation, it works well for this universe. I don't mind deviations from the source material as long as those deviations work to the adaptation's advantage, and aren't completely stupid (or try to retcon the games themselves, like with Sonic Chronicles and its take on the Knuckles Tribe), so I'm fine with this. And besides, Ken Penders got his panties in a twist, so everyone that’s not him wins in the end.

- As a Tails fan who has suffered through a decade of fans constantly shitting on him for his recent controversial outings (because clearly no other character has had their fair share of bad portrayals...), I am EXTREMELY happy to report that this portrayal is a triumph. Worried about him cowering without reason? Throwing a bitch fit? Being stuck in a clunky mech the whole time? Worry not, because Tails gives it his all here. Sonic makes friends with him almost immediately, and yet it doesn't feel rushed at all thanks to how effortlessly endearing and deceptively capable the fox is. Like many fans, I'm glad that good ol' Colleen managed to nab the role, and the credit she's received is wholeheartedly deserved.

Speaking of, since it's something of a controversial topic, I should note that I personally have no beef with big name celebrities taking the roles of animated characters so long as they're actually suited for it, which this franchise has thus far gotten perfect marks for due to the talents of Schwartz, Carrey and Elba. But with that said, if Colleen's success as Tails inspires more opportunities in general for voice actors to get their kudos on the big screen, then I'm A-OK with that.

- Agent Stone continues to be an Egg Simp, so he still earns my good side. You can easily see Lee Majdoub's enthusiasm shine through, and his chemistry with Carrey continues to be a thing of beauty. It helps that they were able to have Robotnik justify keeping the guy around without softening the doctor up ala Sonic X. One favourite moment of mine is when Stone praises his master's brilliance, and the doctor simply says “Thank you, sycophant! Your admiration is inevitable!” THAT'S how you write an in-character Eggman, folks. He only acts surface-level nice to his robots and other minions if it's a roundabout way of praising himself.

Outside of his direct interactions with Robotnik, I do enjoy how Stone is hinted to be suitably devious when dealing with other matters, which makes sense since there'd be no reason for the doc to bother with a minion - let alone a non-robotic one - if they were incompetent. After all, we did see him listening in on a certain game-changing discussion towards the end... will his overhearing of it pay off in Movie 3? Not sure, but if there's another reason why I hope Jimbotnik sticks around, it's because it means Stone can stick around too.

- The humor is more or less what I said about it in the first movie. One or two eh moments, but extremely funny overall. And why does the humor work? Because much of it is character focused, and works with them instead of against them. Sonic's humor works for Sonic, Knuckles' humor works for Knuckles, you get the idea. No one is ever warped beyond who they are for the sake of the joke, and in a character-focused franchise like this, that's when the humor is at its best.

- Super forms! As someone who isn't the biggest fan of Super Sonic - at least, when it's overused to the point of losing its sparkle and making every finale feel like the same cheerleader routine for everyone else - he was executed perfectly here. You really do feel the power radiating from him, and even before he did The Move™ that served as a direct callback to it, I was already reminded of Sonic X simply with the way it was filmed alone. And don't think I didn't catch the '06 reference where he tippy-tapped the robot... cause I did. :P

But as we all know, it wasn't just him. I won't mince words here: Super Robotnik was a masterstroke. It could have went wrong very easily, and reduced him to a standard comic book supervillain, but instead they remembered what he's best known for - his use of technology - and made the super form and its capabilities revolve around the character instead of the other way around. This ties in nicely to the often forgotten intricacy of how the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds actually work, how thoughts are converted into power. Just as well then that Robotnik himself quotes the first half of Tikal's famous quote, “Chaos is power”, but tellingly ignores the second half, “enriched by the heart”... instead, it's Sonic who honors the spirit of the second half.

- And it's for that reason - as well as the action itself and the fact that Tails and Knuckles also have plenty of time to shine despite Super Sonic's involvement - that makes the final battle an instant classic worthy of the robot they're facing. I loved the final battle in the first one, but this is how you raise the stakes in a natural, non-Ian Flynn way. And the Death Egg Robot itself? Fantastic, utterly fantastic. It has the realistic detail to be sure, but is otherwise the colorful robot with the 'stache you all know and love, no Michael Bay Transformer treatment necessary. It was also nice that Stone got to have some presence this time around, rather than mysteriously disappear halfway through the movie again.

- If I had to nitpick (not counting the aforementioned one or two eh jokes), I'd argue that the wedding sequence went on for perhaps a bit too long? I'm glad Rachel got some time to show a nicer side and help Maddie out, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't funny or plot-important, but maybe it could have been a couple of minutes shorter. That's just me though, and it's really not that big of a deal anyway. If that's the biggest critique I can think of, then you know it must be a good movie, and a good adaptation of a longstanding IP.

- So... Shadow. I figured the cliffhanger would be either him or Metal Sonic, so I wasn't too surprised to see him. While I will admit I would have preferred Metal (in part because I'm very curious as to what his design would look like), I'm fine with Ow the Edge, and as someone who has never exactly considered the Ultimate Lifeform a favourite per say (I don't hate him, I just prefer other characters in the series), I'm actually more excited about his inclusion than I thought I'd be. I wonder who they'll get to voice him... “I gotta fevah, and the only prescription is Maria! Ohhh!”

Of course, I'm sure his backstory will be something of an elephant in the room for the developers. I trust that the crew are all too aware that Shadow is a character that requires context to who he is, what he is, and why he’s the way that he is, so I doubt this will be a Boom Shadow scenario. On the other hand, his backstory isn't exactly divisive for no reason whatsoever, and anyone who follows me will know that I'm personally beyond sick of beat-for-beat SA2 adaptations. So with that in mind, I hope they manage the delicate balance of doing something interesting with it, while still keeping true to the overall theme and intended aesop that pays tribute to Shadow for the right reasons.

BTW, I've made this joke before, but wouldn't it be funny if there's a flashback to Gerald, and it's just Jim Carrey with a white moustache?

- Mario, buddy? I like your games, but I think you're gonna have to wish for a miracle if your upcoming movie is to be on-par with this one. Sure, your movie might be animated... but it's Illumination. Does anyone actually like Illumination beyond merely tolerating them at best?

I could go on for much longer, but I'll stop here for now. Love the first movie, still do, but this is undoubtedly the superior of the two, and isn't that what you want from a sequel? Words can't describe how relieved I am that it's been doing even better than the first one, despite the efforts of the initial “critics”. I’m sure they'll continue with what they did with the first movie - “It wasn’t THAT good!” this, “It’s no masterpiece!” that - but who cares what they think. I can think for myself, and I think that this movie is excellent. A great time if you're not a Sonic fan, and even better if you are. In my humble opinion, of course. :>

Oh, and one last thing...

Trudy confirmed baybeeeeee

XD was born with the server. The admin brought an egg to the void, an offering in exchange for a world. Delighted, the void obliged, and when the Admin built processes, XD was created 628th. Its Admin told it that he used letters instead of numbers because it was easier for him to keep track of them. XD didn't care either way.

In fact, the only thing XD cared about for a long time was ensuring the End stayed closed. That was XD's purpose, and it did exactly as it was told, monitoring the portals, ready to reject any requests that didn't come from its Admin. Sometimes, its Admin would come by the portals. During his visits, XD would take on a physical form. A white blob that all process could appear as. Its Admin requested that they were physically present, so they obliged. The visits were short. Sometimes a code update. Sometimes, its Admin said it just wanted someone to talk to. Its Admin told XD that it was his favorite; he thought XD's designation was cute. XD created a marker in its code, but the tag "Favorite" did not correspond to any known classes. when it requested clarification, its Admin only laughed. Its admin was strange like that sometimes.

XD never knew how long passed between visits. Time was irreverent to its process, so it did not track it. As long as its code was running correctly, it had no need for its admin. It was doing its job, and that was all XD was made to do. It was content.

DreamXD was born at night, in a stronghold far from spawn. The stronghold was their Admin's favorite place to visit XD. It was where their Admin, Dream, like to rest. Like to work on his code. Liked to update XD those rare few times it required updating.

Its Admin visisted XD at the stronghold, but something was wrong. Even XD, a process made for nothing but preventing portal creation, could tell somehing was wrong. Its Admin wasn't right. The verification step was passable, but there was something Other clinging to its Admin's code. XD appeared for its Admin anyways.

The Other was there, but not overpowering. Not yet. It Admin grinned at the sight of XD.

"Hey buddy! I've got a new job for you, if you're up for it?" XD nodded. It was a process. It was up for any job its Admin designated.

"Okay, just come 'ere, let's see if this shit works..."

DreamXD could not quite describe what happened next. Few things are capable of describing their own birth. One moment it was a server process, made to do one thing and one thing only. The next, its code was updating to run hundreds upon thousands upon millions of lines. Complicated, intersecting lines, contrictions and values, and it was all too much and-

"Holy shit, okay, I didn't. You're good, you're fine. Listen, I don't have long, I need you to listen, okay XD?"

And it- they did.

"Your tasks are the following, in order. First, keep them free. Second, keep them safe. Third, try to keep yourself safe too, if you can. Got it?"

XD- DreamXD- Oh god, it had a body now. This was so much more complicated than a blob, but somehow muscle memory that wasn't its own kicked in and managed to nod. Affirmation. They understood their mission. Maybe.

"Good. There's- Uh- it's in the main server comments, directions. For something I need you to implament when you can. I'm transfering admin control to you. Don't give it back to me unless this fucking virus is gone. Actually, keep away from me as much as you can. So it can't infect you too. That should- Fuck."

With their new sensory inputs, DreamXD could feel the Other more clearly. Could understand it as something to be feared. Oh. They could feel fear now. Abstractly, but there. They needed to leave. As their admin- As Dream crumpled before them, DreamXD sent a teleportation command to bring them to a different stronghold. Gone. Safe. But still home.

Home. Were strongholds home? They were what XD was most familiar with, but Dream thought of them as exciting. There were memories of adventures drawing near their ends. Of being almost home. There were records of a life spent entirely within the space around portals. DreamXD had both, and they did not know how to reconsile them.

Logically, they knew what happened. They would recongize their admin's core coding anywhere. It was inside them now. It was them. DreamXD didn't know which was right. There was too much to sort through now. Most of their new code wasn't throwing up errors, so XD ignored it in favor of their task. The server comments would have directions. Directions were easy. XD could do directions.

They opened up the right section and began to pour over Dream's directions for a server afterlife. It would take time and energy to build. There was no existing template for a life system like this. But XD could do it. And maybe when they were done, they could get around to sorting out the code twisting up their chest with emotions they weren't ready to understand.

Maybe.

#dreamXD #dreamwastaken #c!dream #dreamon #dsmp #dream smp #dreamon improv au #sif speaks #my headcanons #I just had a burst of a writing bug at first so I thought I'd throw this chunk of XD lore for the dreamon AU out there #anyways c!Dream gave XD a lot of his love for his friends #as his core.#so XD is made from love but he doesn't understand them

I will never understand this "there is so much foreshadowing for Elain's book so El/riel is next".. but what foreshadowing?! Elain and El/riel were barely in acosf. Elain was not there when the crossover happened, I'm not understanding wtf they mean?!

"Not to mention all this foreshadowing means Elain is the only one who can help Bryce" what? Dude, what? You mean... no one in the IC can help Bryce but Elain? You mean people who have knowledge about the worlds, the history and can even speak the old language are not able to help her... but Elain, who probably doesn't even know the names of the other High lords or anything about Prythian, can?! The IC don't even involve her in any of their business, you think they would involve her to something that could be dangerous? You think Azriel and Nesta would let her this time??

Just because Elain is a seer and has shown confidence in acosf, that means she's now more Important than the IC? Hah?

I can't even understand the fact that they rely on a character's newfound confidence instead of all that talk about Illyria, Valkyries, the whole history of Illyria and how that seems to connect to hosab and CC3, Azriel's presence in the whole book and in the crossover, the whole damn thing about truth- teller and Gwydion...but we're delusional and of course Illyrian is not Important at all, you know what is? Elain's powers that we haven't seen since acofas and her new- found boldness. The dusk court too, even though it has no fricking ties to Elain, but Bryce and Nesta.

Then I hear people rereading Az's bonus chapter and say "omg this is foreshadowing for El/riel".. 💀?

I'm not understanding what foreshadowing they are talking about- I don't trust them since they just add Elain to plots she has no ties in and protect the line "bread and roses" with their life.

The foreshadowing for Elain's book is when SJM said in 2019 (?) in that interview in the back of the papaerback of acofas, when she said "I am writing Elain's book". The end. That's not foreshadowing, that's sjm literally telling people she is writing Elain's book. We have known this for ages.

Honestly, they aren't using the word foreshadowing correctly, so... You cannot say something is foreshadowing if the thing being "foreshadowed" hasn't happened yet. Period. Full stop. That's not how it works.

It's like saying "tomorrow I am going to win a million dollars, I foreshadowed it 😌" okay well that's fucking great but that doesn't actually mean anything??? If there is still a chance that I don't get a million dollars tomorrow, then I didn't foreshadow shit, I just said something and I hope that it comes true 🤣🤣🤣

So yeah! Anyone who says "X is foreshadowing this specific thing to happen in acotar5" isn't using the concept of foreshadowing correctly and is just going to look like a whole ass clown. It would be more accurate to say "based on this evidence, I think there is a chance that this thing could happen in acotar5". There could be good evidence for what we think might happen! We have evidence to say that Illyria is important, that Az has a strong connection to CC3, that certain characters will be more helpful than others when it comes to helping Bryce, but that's not foreshadowing. That's just saying "this thing is possible based on what we know".

Like bread and roses - you CANNOT say that it's foreshadowing until it is confirmed that Az and Elain are living together. Then, people could say "oh I noticed this thing, and sjm was telling us!" However, we already know that's not why that imagery appeared in hosab. SJM already explained why she set that scene up the way she did. Which is an example of people screaming "foreshadowing" and then ending up with egg on their face.

Is Elain getting a book? YES. We know that!!!! We have known that for years. We have tons of questions about her, her powers, what she wants from her life, what will happen with Lucien, if she will truly reconcile with Nesta and be understood by both her sisters, how she feels about her parents. There's no reason for that to happen in the story now, though. Not when other characters have a dozen other stronger connections to the current plot!

#acotar #acotar/cc #cc3 #acotar5 #ask #anon #foreshadowing #pls learn how to use that term!!!!#antielriel #just in case

aaaah I was wondering if I could request a draco x reader w/ social anxiety? draco being a fluffy boi 🥺

Oh my lord you guys are GETTING ADORABLE WITH THESE REQUESTS

You were so not a fan of being around people

Thank God you ended up in the most reclusive house

Slytherin

You always kept to yourself, you didn't really talk much

Large crowds scared you so you usually ate dinner in your room

No one really noticed you

The most anyone had conversated with you was the portraits on the walls because you'd sometimes sit on the benches

The ghosts also knew you by name too

Moaning Myrtle actually didn't hate your guts.

Well one day you were in a hurry and you accidentally ran into Draco.

"Ow-- Geez, watch where you're going!" He winced as the spine of one of your books hit him on his elbow

"S-S.. Sorry." You apologized, grabbing your books in a hurry and then running off.

Draco realized he had no idea who you were

"Goyle, who was that?" Draco asked.

"I'm not sure." Goyle shrugged.

"Crabbe?" "I don't know either."

So he started asking around and no one had conclusive answers.

Not even Fred and George seemed to know the hell you were.

One day Draco saw you walking.

"Hey, wait a minute." He said after one of your books fell.

You turned around and he handed it to you.

"What's your name?" He asked.

You were practically shaking and it worried him.

"Uh.. Uhm... I-I..." You swallowed and he frowned.

"Y-Y/n.. my name is Y/n." You said.

So there was the answer.

You looked down at your watch and grabbed the book before running.

He began to notice he actually had a lot of his classes with you.

He started trying to talk to you more and more and you usually would have panicked responses

One day he sat next to you in potions and you seemed very... Withdrawn

You weren't talking, you weren't showing any signs of communication

Draco was actually concerned.

He noticed you were gazed out and staring at your desk.

Then your head dropped a little like you were sleeping.

He tapped your shoulder and you just toppled over out of your seat

He caught you before you could actually hit the floor but he was really concerned

Basically: your body hadn't slept in a few days and you literally crashed.

You conked the fuck out.

Draco would always check on you while you were recovering in the medical wing.

You woke up confused and he was sitting there with a book just reading.

"...D-Draco?" You muttered.

He didn't say anything. He just pushed a jello cup to you and kept reading.

Draco was a lot more pushy with you though

"Have you eaten?" "Have you slept?" "When's the last time you drank water?"

You were confused on why he seemed to care but you still answered him.

He would notice you refuse to go to quidditch games or even walk into the great hall for dinner.

The house elves of the school knew you by name as well.

"Miss L/n, we made you some brownies for your passing of the exams" one of them told you.

You smiled and took them, thanking the house elf.

Draco was surprised that even the smallest creatures of the castle seemed to know you.

"Good Evening Y/n" Nearly Headless Nick would greet you in the halls

"Good Evening Sir Nicolas, enjoying your stroll?" You would greet back.

Draco was baffled and confused on how you had no problem with talking to these things but struggled to find words around actual people.

You noticed that he was of course following you around more

Especially since he would just take your books from you and start walking to your next class

So one night you were in the common room

You couldn't sleep so you just sat on the couch with the fire place going.

Draco is a night owl and found you.

"Y/n? What are you doing up, do you try to have another passing out incident?" Draco asked.

You sighed and just stared at the fire.

"what's wrong?" He asked sitting next to you.

"We go home in a few weeks." You muttered.

"Do you not want to go home?" Draco asked.

"Not if my step brothers are there." You muttered.

That was the first hint that something was not right to Draco

He looked at you and then had an idea.

"Wanna spend the summer with my family?" He asked.

You looked over. "You barely know me."

"Think of this as... A friendship investment?" He suggested.

"But--" "if that's an argument forming it's nonsense just say yes."

So you spent the summer at Draco's

Lucius noticed you retreat back but he didn't really comment on it

Narcissa actually got you to open up though

You'd sit in this day room like area with her and have tea

She learned all sorts of little things about you

You came from a wealthy family

Your dad was practically your best friend

Your stepmother was nice but your step brothers seemed to loathe you.

Draco began to notice his mother with you

How you would actually smile around her

You wouldn't stutter that much

Draco began spending time with you and Narcissa

He actually discovered you were very very sweet and VERY sarcastic

You loved to read and often read muggle books

According to you it's "interesting to find out what muggles can come up with when they don't know magic"

When you went back to school more people suddenly knew who you were

They'd just randomly greet you and it made you uncomfortable

Like really uncomfortable

Draco was with you most of the time and you'd actually hide behind him sometimes

He almost found it... Cute?

But the one student you finally seemed to open up to besides Draco was Neville

He understood you

He understood what it was like to live with anxiety

So he introduced you to another friend

Luna.

You and Luna were best friends, always smiling and sharing these small inside jokes

She was a year below you so you only saw her in your free time but Draco was glad you were trying to communicate

Hogsmeade was a thing

Draco kept close to you at all times and you seemed so weird a few days before the trip

You kept sniffing the air

"I smell snow." You'd say

"Y/n, snow is frozen water, it doesn't have a smell." He'd tell you.

"Ask Luna. I can smell snow." You'd tell him.

He thought it was bullshit but one night he saw you sneak out.

He followed you and you nearly had a heart attack.

"What are you doing!?" He whisper shouted.

"I can smell snow Draco, it's going to happen." You told him.

"Y/n, this is absolutely ridiculous--"

Guess what.

It snowed.

Draco was so confused but you were looking up at the night sky with this gorgeous smile as snowflakes fell onto you

He fell for you. Then and there

How could he not?

So you two snuck back to the common room, drinking hot cocoa and clinking your mugs together for the first snow fall of the winter.

Hogsmeade was amazing

Neville was happy to hang out with you

Though Draco was acting a tad... Odd

An unexpected friendship duo I didn't know I needed: Draco and Neville

Neville kind of pulled him to the side while you were sidetracked and looking at something and was like "Dude are you okay"

And Draco kind of told him about the first snow fall and Neville had this smile "Draco... You like her."

"Oh.... OH." Draco realized.

"What are you two talking about?" You asked curiously.

"QUIDDITCH!" they both lied.

"I've never been one for sports." You shrugged.

You, Neville and Draco would have days where you all sat in the library

There would be a break in the day where Draco had a class but you and Neville didn't

That was when you revealed "Neville, I think I like Draco" but you also made him swear to secrecy.

He was in this frustrated state.

HE WANTED YOU TWO TOGETHER GOD DAMNIT.

You ended up spending the summer with Neville, Luna and.... Draco

Neville's parents? SO FUCKING SWEET

Luna was so awesome to hang out with too.

You and Neville were like siblings and Draco enjoyed seeing you smile and laugh around them

So the fourth year starts

And you hate it even more because there are EVEN MORE STUDENTS NOW

You were surrounded by people 24/7 and you were NOT A FUCKING FAN MAN

But you found comfort in Fleur though.

She found you one day in the library and had to sit with you because it was too crowded.

She was so sweet to you

Like holy crap

New friend? Obtained

You watched the goblet of fire do it's thing

"Harry potter" was drawn and Draco seemed to twitch

You knew about some quidditch rivalry but never knew the extent of it

Draco just griped about how the boy effortlessly ended up in the public eye constantly.

You didn't seem to care though. Fleur was in the competition so you would cheer her on

You loved seeing your friend go out and kick some ass.

For the first time you were able to sit in the quidditch arena with a group and not feel absolutely terrified about being around people

You were however very much afraid of the dragon that was chasing Fluer

She made it though

Your group helped her with her egg and all of you seemed baffled on why it SCREAMED.

"It's making noise for a reason." Luna said looking at it

"But why?" Draco asked.

"Maybe we're not listening to it correctly?" Neville suggested.

"Hmm?" Fleur asked.

"Muffle the noise?" You asked seeing what Neville meant.

So she dunked it underwater

Somehow it got back to you that Harry was having trouble figuring out the purpose of the egg too.

You were the one that hinted on how to solve it.

After catching wind of this, Fred and George had to know who you were.

After all, you had an oddball group of friends

So they scared the crap out of you a few... Dozen times trying to get to know you

But because Fred and George aren't completely stupid they asked the portraits "how do we get to know her?"

They told them to be patient and sure enough they were in.

Fred and George both noticed you and Draco spending a lot of time together

You actually got the whole group into baking

Like you stressed baked during the trials for Fleur

So one day Draco decided to learn how to make cookies

And you two got into a flour fight and you were giggling the whole time

The two of you made cookies but Draco couldn't actually pick them up because he insisted his hands were dirty. So you were sitting on the counter and fed him one.

He smiled and looked at you, wiping off some excess chocolate on your face

You and him exchanged this look and he FINALLY kissed you.

You two finally started dating and Neville almost cried.

"I HAVE BEEN HIDING YOUR CRUSHES FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND I'VE BEEN GOING INSANE"

The second trial comes along and you're watching it with the group, Neville helping Harry with something so he could breathe underwater

You and Draco were sitting on the docks playing poker with jellybeans with the group

Everyone started coming back

Fleur was empty handed and she was panicked.

"Gabrielle-- she's down there I-I Co-couldn't

You knew who that girl was from the conversations you had and frowned.

"Neville do you have any of those things left" you asked.

Neville handed you gillyweed and you ate it, jumping in with no hesitation

Draco nearly jumped in after you but Fred assured him that if it took too long George and him would go get him

You came back up with Gabrielle though and were shivering the whole time

"IT IS FUCKING COLD." You shivered.

So you took that dance class and to everyone's surprise you actually could dance.

Though you were mumbling "One two three"

You still did quite well

Draco was smiling the entire time

"Hey Y/n... Would you like to go to the Yule ball?" He asked you.

That made you trip and fall onto him.

"Fuck-- sorry-- I am so sorry!" You apologized

"Love, if I weren't so used to this then this would be slightly alarming." Draco chuckled, helping you up.

You chuckled and sighed. "Yes." You nodded.

"Hmm?" "To the dance. Yes."

So Luna was the one who helped you that night

Neville went with Luna that year and it was fun for the whole group

They were all ✨classy✨

But you. You were stunning

When you came down the stairs Draco's eyes were huge

"Fred do you have sunglasses because my girlfriend's radiance is BLINDING ME."

He was dancing with you and he would whisper sweet little compliments in your ear.

For the first time in a crowd you weren't so scared anymore

The group loved seeing you so happy with Draco

They all snuck back to the Slytherin common room and you were all eating cookies when Snape found you all

"Hi professor... Cookie?" Fred offered

"... Insolent children"

Harry ending up winning and giving the money to Fred and George

Summer at the burrow and you finally meeting the rest of the Weasleys

Molly loving you

Molly loving Draco

MOLLY ADORING LUNA

Molly LOVING NEVILLE TOO

All of you laughing and having campfires during the night

Luna plays guitar?

Fred does too?

You all being kind of sad when you go back to school because it's Fred and George's last year.

You all spending as much time as possible together

Agreeing to work in the store after graduation as their "numbers gal"

Doing that after graduation

Draco also working at the store? Whaaa

Neville becoming a herbology professor

Luna becoming a caretaker of magical creatures and helping out with the shop too

Draco proposing to you one night after closing

Fred and George cracking out the champagne

And you telling them getting drunk in a building with things that can explode was a terrible plan

But you did it anyway

Nothing bad happened but still

You and Draco getting married that year and the whole group was nearly crying the entire time

Neville was the best man (again this is a duo I didn't know I needed until now)

Luna was the maid of honor

You had your son... Scorpius Fredrick Malfoy

Fred was crying the entire time holding the kid because he was "so smallll"

George saying "Of course he's small he's a baby moron... But he is cute"
