ALICE IN WONDERLAND AU ♤ PART 1: JUNGKOOK

My works are 14+ ONLY. If you’re under 14 DO NOT read/interact with me or my works

Pairing: White rabbit!Jungkook x fem reader

Word count: 2,270

Note: Next installment in the BTS Alice in Wonderland AU series is here! The intro chapter did fairly well last week. I was surprised to see how many people were liking it!

Once past the doorway, you made your brief descent down the stone steps and onto the walkway that led through the cluster of odd plants. This place was strange, unusual, and nothing like anything you had ever seen in your entire life. All the mushrooms and plants were huge compared to you, making you feel a little nervous due to their intimidating size. You flinched when a huge bug of some sort zoomed past you, a loud buzzing sound following as it flew by. Glancing up, you saw a dragon with a set of thin, iridescent wings.

Dragonfly. Clever.

You proceeded down the path, your curious eyes scanning your new and unfamiliar surroundings. Suddenly, you remembered the chunk of cake you brought with you, pulling it from your pocket. Having learned your lesson the first time, you only took a small chunk from the cake, hoping it would be enough to return you to your normal height. Taking a small bite of the magical sweet, you started to grow taller until you were back to your usual self.

You chuckled proudly to yourself, feeling a sense of pride for getting the hang of the size-altering cake.

With your height back to the way it should be, you proceeded down the stone pathway, getting a closer look at the greenery and vegetation that grew along the trail. You hadn't the slightest idea where you were, but one thing was for sure, this was not your home. You were in an entirely new world. A fairytale land of some sort that looked like it came right out of a storybook.

Maybe when you fell down the rabbit hole, you hit your head and were knocked unconscious and this was a dream. Though that wouldn't explain the fact that you saw a half bunny half man in your backyard.

Your train of thought was derailed when you spotted the suit-clad bunny hybrid you chased earlier standing in the middle of the pathway with his back turned to you. Not wanting to announce your presence and risk him taking off again, you stayed silent and approached him, clamping a hand on his shoulder causing him to flinch, spinning around on his heel to face whoever had grabbed him.

"You! How did you get down here?"

"I followed you. How else do you think I got here?"

He chewed on his bottom lip while his captivating eyes scanned you up and down as if to asses your appearance.

"Good." He finally responded, giving a single nod of approval.

"Good?" You echoed.

"There are some people who want to see you. They haven't seen you in years and they've all been eagerly awaiting your return."

"What? Who's they? Listen, bunny boy, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."

"He'll explain when you get—wait. What did you just call me?"

"You never told me your name, so I got creative." You shrugged.

"My name is Jungkook." He huffed, one of his his bunny ears twitching a little in agitation.

You chuckled softly.

"What's so funny?"

"Your ears." You pointed. "They're very expressive."

"Of course they are." He straightened his coat.

"Can I touch them?" You asked tentatively.

The tips of Jungkook's human ears turned pink, as did the apples of his round cheeks.

"I suppose." He lowered his head ever so slightly so his bunny ears would be easier to access.

You stepped forward and reached your hand up to stroke one of them, feeling the soft fur under your fingertips, taking notice of the way he pulled his bottom lip between his teeth.

"Soft." You murmured, pulling your hand back.

Jungkook cleared his throat, taking a brief glance up the trail.

"We should go."

"Right. Lead the way."

If this really was a dream, you might as well see how it plays out.

The low heels of Jungkook's loafers tapped lightly against the stones of the walkway, the rhythmic beat accompanied by the occasional crunch of a small gravel under his shoe soles.

"What is this place?" You inquired, breaking the silence that hung in the air.

"If I recall correctly, last time you were here you called it Wonderland."

"Last time I was here?"

"You really don't remember, do you?"

You hesitated with your response, flicking through past memories, none of them having been made in a place like this.

"No. Should I?"

"You should. Then again, you were very young. Don't worry. He'll explain it to you."

"Who's he?"

"You'll see. Just wait until we get there."

Wonderland. You thought.

That's a good way to describe this place, especially considering it's eccentric and fairytale-like appearance.

You stole a glance at Jungkook just as his nose twitched, scrunching up a little which made him look akin to a real bunny. It was an endearing sight and made a warm feeling of adoration spread in your chest. Looking at Jungkook gave you the same emotions as looking at a cute animal, except he was more man than animal.

"I overheard you talking to yourself earlier. What were you so late for?" You questioned.

"Bringing you here."

"Is that why you were in my rose garden? You were looking for me?"

"Yes." He nodded. "I was watching you and hoped that I could coax you down the rabbit hole. He asked that I bring you here. Though, I wasn't sure if it was you or not. You've changed quite a bit. That's why I was a little freaked out. You see, I'm not exactly supposed to be seen while I'm out there."

"Out there?"

"In your world." He clarified.

You cast your eyes to the ground, dragging your shoes against the stones.

"What's so important about me?"

"I'm not sure I can reveal that. Again, he'll tell you everything. I promise."

"Right." You sighed. "Who is this guy that you're bringing me to?"

"It's best he introduce himself."

"Is there anything I can call him by?"

"Hatter. That's what we call him sometimes. It's somewhat of a nickname."

"Hatter." You murmured thoughtfully. "That sounds vaguely familiar."

"Maybe you're remembering." Jungkook beamed, showing off cute bunny-like teeth, his eyes glimmering with hope.

"You're adorable." You spoke under your breath, not intending for him to hear. It was more so you gushing quietly over his endearing expression.

He turned to you, his eyes scanning you up and down as a small smirk played at his lips.

It was then that you realized he heard you.

You were quick to look away and focus your gaze to the trail below your shoes in an attempt to avoid eye contact with him.

Jungkook came to a stop, placing his finger under your chin to turn your head back towards him. His bright eyes seemed slightly darker, some unknown emotion swirling in them as he took just a moment to scan your face, quietly taking in your reaction.

"That's funny. I was thinking the same about you, dear Y/n."

You swallowed, a violent rush of warmth blossoming across your cheeks at his bold and flirtatious response.

He tittered amusedly, gently holding your chin between his thumb and index finger so you couldn't look away.

"Surely you're not flustered just from that."

You opened your mouth to speak, but no words came out, as Jungkook's charms rendered you totally speechless.

This is definitely a dream. You thought to yourself. Why else would someone as handsome as Jungkook be flirting with you? This kind of thing never happens in real life.

You were too occupied with your thoughts to notice Jungkook's face inching closer, your wide eyes immediately darting down to catch a glimpse of his pretty pink lips, momentarily wondering if they were as soft as they appeared. They were so tantalizing, tempting you to come and have a taste, drawing you in and pulling you towards them. Somewhere in your muddled mind, your conscience reminded you that this man was practically a stranger, though there was something familiar about him, albeit vague. Then again, if this really was a dream (and you're sure it is) it doesn't matter if you don't know Jungkook all that well. In dreams, logic doesn't matter.

You made no efforts to stop the man standing in front of you, staying completely still while you allowed him to come to you, his shallow breaths fanning against your cheeks. Prepared for his lips to touch yours, you were surprised when you felt them on your neck instead, the warm sensation that followed making your knees weak. Your eyelids fluttered closed while Jungkook littered your neck with open-mouthed kisses that took your breath away. One of your hands came up to his dark hair, momentarily carding your fingers through it before they trailed up to brush against the base of his soft bunny ears. Jungkook sighed against the sensitive skin of your neck, his kisses growing more feverish.

After a few more blissful moments, he pulled away, bringing his face up to meet yours, his short, breathy huffs fanning your cheeks as his eyes were trained on your lips. You suppressed a shiver, your eyelids starting to flutter closed as he drew near. Jungkook's lips barely brushed over yours, making your heart rate pick up with excitement for the events that were soon to take place.

Just before he could press his lips to yours, a loud roar ripped through the air and rumbled the ground beneath your feet, causing the both of you to pull away from each other with startled expressions.

"Bandersnatch." Jungkook gasped.

"Bander-what?"

"Come over here." He hastily pulled you into the tall plants that lined the cobblestone path.

You stumbled unsteadily due to his sudden movements, causing you to fall on top of him with a soft grunt.

Both of you were breathing heavily due to the adrenaline, staring into each other's eyes for what felt like minutes but in reality was only a handful of seconds. Your gaze darted down to his lips that you didn't even get to kiss due to the interruption, which was typical for a dream, except instead of waking up, the dream continued.

A loud thump pulled your attention away from Jungkook and towards the noise as you tried to catch a glimpse of the creature through the towering mushrooms and wispy grass.

"What is that?" You whispered, unable to see through the plants that shielded you.

"The bandersnatch."

"What exactly is a bandersnatch?"

"That." Jungkook said pointing at a massive beast that was making its way down the path you were walking on just moments ago.

The appearance of the creature was unlike anything you'd ever seen before. It was covered in white fur with black spots and had the most atrocious face you'd ever laid eyes on. The beast vaguely resembling a dog, except this thing was far from cuddly and was every bit terrifying. Drool dribbled out of its large mouth which was lined with dozens of unevenly sharp teeth that made you uneasy just by looking at them. You released an unintentional gasp at the daunting appearance of the enormous creature, clamping a hand over your mouth as you watched it sniff the air.

"Shh." Jungkook shushed, wrapping his arms around you in order to draw you in closer. His job was to bring you to Hatter safely and that's exactly what he was going to do.

With bated breath, your eyes followed the monster, observing it as it passed your hiding place and sniffed elsewhere, thankfully not catching the scent of you or Jungkook. The both of you let out a collective sigh of relief, your bodies relaxing. That's when the beast stopped, it's head turning back towards the place where you were hidden.

Your body stiffened and your breathing came to a halt, watching anxiously as the beast's nose twitched while sniffing the air. After what felt like ages, the beast turned away and left, allowing you to finally relax.

"The Red King probably sent that thing to come and get you." Jungkook snarled.

His nose was scrunched up while he glared at the creature that was now leaving the area, his arms tightening around you protectively. The first thought that crossed your mind was how surprisingly strong his grip was.

He must be hiding some massive biceps under that tailcoat of his. You surmised.

"I think it's safe. Let's go." Jungkook whispered, helping you to your feet.

He took your hand and crept through the overgrown plants, moving away from the dreaded bandersnatch.

Once he felt it was safe, he guided you back to the pathway where you could actually see where you were going.

"That thing was scary... and ugly." Your face twisted at the memory.

"Dangerous too. We're lucky to have made it out unharmed. I thought for sure it would sniff us out."

"I did too."

You placed your hand on your chest to try and calm the erratic beating of your heart. For a dream, this sure felt real.

There was a rustling sound in the plants that put a halt on your train of thought and caused you and Jungkook to stop in your tracks.

"What's that?" The question slipped out before you could stop it and you found yourself latching onto Jungkook who was the only person there that could possibly protect you from whatever was hidden in the plants.

"I don't know." He murmured, holding a protective arm out in front of you.

The both of you stood in the middle of the pathway frozen in fear until someone stepped out of the thick grass.

Imagine being put in charge of watching tiny Bowser while he's locked up in the Mushroom Kingdom. Maybe you wete a knight of Peach's and she only trusts you with the task. For whatever reason you're stuck on babysitting duty.

Just, all you do for hours on end is guard a room with a small cage and a shrunken Koopa King while he complains, riots, and plays a little piano. But then you notice just how endearing he can be. You have to stop yourself from complimenting the singing. He's testing out pick up lines on his shadow and his ears can pick up the way you lightly chortle. The next couple might be addressed to you - not that he'd let you discover that.

I just adore the idea of after he inevitably escapes he's enthralled with you. Did he used to lie awake at night thinking about the beautiful Princess Peach? Yes. Is he now blabbering about the adorable, cutesy guard that watched him in jail? Poor Kamek has to hear it. Maybe one day Bowser can confess to you or he'll just kidnap you like he does.

I absolutely adore thinking about having to look after tiny Bowser. It might be the fact that the power dynamic is completely reversed, with Bowser now incapable of using his size as a threat or his fire as warning, or it might be the fact that tiny Bowser means a lot more pouty Bowser, but I love all the scenarios that sprout from this regardless.

It's one of the best forms of forced proximity.

Especially when you think about the relationship between Reader and him. He's not your king. He does not rule over you. He has lost the right to respect after destroying your home - or at least majorly threatning it - so there is no way you need to talk to him. Other than him being the Mushroom Kingdom's prisoner, there is no expectation from you. There is no forced politeness.

No "my lord" or "your Majesty".

He's been temporarily brought down from his throne and, once again other than the fact he's the prisoner, tiny and stuck in a cage with you being his guard, you're more or less on equal standing.

You'd be able to talk to him and he to you.

Not only that but a thin trust could definitely be built up after the initial malice (because let's be honest, both parties here would hold some form of resentment at first). You could ramble to Bowser with no fear of him relaying it to the princess. You had a bad day doing your other chores? You could tell him. Someone has been bugging you? You could tell him.

Bowser would be able to ramble to you with no fear of you snitching to his people too. His worries as king. His reasonings for his methods.

I don't think that's a dynamic Bowser would be used to, not even with Kamek in the mix. I don't think he'd be used to people genuinely laughing at his jokes or being willing to talk to him outside what's deemed as respectful towards one's king. He wouldn't be used to people seeing him remotely as an equal.

Aaaaand when he inevitably gets back to his kingdom with the effects of the mushroom disappearing, as you said I can only imagine his initial thought being to brag about you and also, well, kidnap you. He would. He totally would.

Just imagine how surprised Peach and Mario would be when Bowser and his troops show up at Peach's castle. Mario would step in to protect Peach only for Bowser to ignore them and walk straight to you.

Ok FOR REAL Theory Time!!! Gonna be massive spoilers plus mention of bugs/fungus! So I'm calling this the Mold Theory And what is the Mold? It's the black stuff under Home! (Mold under a house is very suiting, right?) The Mold has contaminated Every single thing that the Restoration team has found! The team talks about the envelopes, the antiques, and the artwork found for Welcome Home and how it is alwasys Wet and covered in Grime. The stuff that is "Growing" all over the found items... Staff must wear gloves or they will get covered in it

You can see it all over the gloves, the Walls, and even the Website Itself! It's also been shown on the restored art prior to the update. But one unfortunate person seems to have touched it. and that is.. The Question Answerer! (The head person of the Restoration team is also most likely infected) Now what this Mold does is, It seems to have an effect of the person's mental state. Causing them to see and hear things, as well as having lucid nightmares and an overwhelming urge to draw spirals. From the very moment of contact, it seems to have effect "When I Unwrapped the first letter, I felt it. I heard it. Open Open Open. I want it out, I'm Going to get it Out" Instant Hallucinations and Obsession! Now I'm going to be Comparing this Mold to a Real fungus called Cordyceps, or the Zombie-Ant Fungus. It is a fungus that can control BUGS (familar themes right?) and take over their minds, forcing them to act unnaturally and wander far in order to spread itself! ~Similarily~ this Mold can take control of the Host's mind as well. The "Spores" that it is trying to spread are the drawings of the spirals/eyes. And the more eyes are Drawn, the more Wally can SEE. Wally has made it truly apparent that he can see us through any rendition of his eyes. "I've seen you every time you've looked into my eyes" "I have more eyes than I did before, you know how to draw eyes You draw mine, many times. I know it is thanks to you, Neighbor.. That I can see.. but it is still.. I can't see" He is giving us instructions.. "You have work to do" -Giving us instrustions on how to draw an eye... "Please Open, Let me In" Now I find this last instruction very funny He doesn't say "Let me Out" No... He says "Let me IN" Into What? What are we Opening? Our doors?Our EYES? our Mind? our Heart?? I think that could be exactly it!!! Letting him.... into You!!! (The collective You) Isn't that Funny? A Funny little thought?! The Puppet becoming the Puppeteer! ooh hee hee hoo hoo I think I'm very clever about that! But there are so many themes of Strings/Control/Scripts That I simply couldn't help myself! Now does that mean I think Wally is Evil? Absolutely NOT I LOVE Wally, and hey, what's a bit of mind control between Neighbors? <333 I'll borrow a cup of sugar and you can borrow my sanity! That's what Neighbors are for! <3 Jokes aside, No I Do NOT think Wally is Evil!! No, he might become a Puppeteer over the Real world... (and It might be for good reason, to save his friends and himself) but he is still very much a Puppet himself. Literally and Figuratively, And the Real Mastermind behind the strings is... Home!

Afterall? Isn't that where the Mold is coming from? From Down Below? Below Home?

This image gives me BIG TIME Obediance vibes Reporting/Worship/Subjugation I very much see Wally as the Lure of a very big Angler Fish.. The bait, the perfect little puppet that has captured our hearts and led us by the hand into Welcome Home. Isn't that very much how it has gone in real life? (Oh I KNOW I got the Mold BAD!!! ahahaha) (I can't stop drawing himmm!!! :3c ) But this is where my rambling stops, Until Next Time! I will just say that: The Relationship between Home and Wally (And by extension, YOU) Is a Strange one for sure! And I cant wait to see it further! And Just one more extra note on this whole Fungus thing.. Did you know that the BIGGEST Organism on the entire Earth.. Is a Mushroom? It is because they are connected through their Roots... (Down Below) and Houses kinda are shaped like musrooms... I will Leave it at That! Ahahahaha!

#im very very normal about all of this!#lyinggg #mold theory #welcome home #wally darling #welcome home theory #i know i can be a bit sparadic i hope this all makes sense!!#i can go a bit off the wall sometimes!!#its hard for me to articulate what i want to say sometimes!#i swear its so much more in my brain!!#also i am really bad at typing #im going to look for mistakes but im sorry if i typo!#jazzisaspazz #long text post #shout out to my sister for putting this into my brain #maybe i will have more thoughts later!#i do have a bunch of random things written down #maybe i will make an “observations” post?#will u guys be interested??#please feel free to send me asks and theories of your own!#feel free to add on or to correct me!!#i mean u can also send me art request ...;w;#or to randomly tell me about how you also enjoy cereal on ur hot dogs.. no? just me? ok #i have a really nice art coming tmrw that im so so proud of....#saving it for tmw... cause its my birthday tmrw!!!#a gift for me! to post something that im really really happy with!!#oof oog i talk a lot in the tags #i'm talking to myself really #if you made it this far... you get ... a gift..#its an apple! 🍎

Hi may I request a reader who broke a limb(any is up to you) because of an accident that they caused with Floyd,Jade,Malleus and Leona.

Thanks for sending in the first ask for the leech brothers! I was wondering when I’d be able to write for them

Floyd, Jade, Malleus and Leona + s/o with a broken limb!

Floyd Leech

At first, he thought nothing of you breaking your leg. Eels only have a vertebrae so being able to break other limbs isn’t really something he’d dealt with before.

Don’t get me wrong, as soon as he realizes that it’s a big deal for humans to be temporarily down a leg, he never leaves your side. Mostly he’s just bugging you but it’s the thought that counts, right?

Be prepared to be given piggy back rides all the time, even to and from your bed. Floyd loves the idea of being able to constantly hold you and still be able to help you with day to day activities. Say goodbye to your ribs

At first Azul is annoyed by the fact that he lost a henchman friend because his partner broke their leg during flight lessons, but then he realized that this could be the start of a new business practice. “For a low price of 100 thaumarks, you can have a companion when you feel at your worst.”

“Heeey shrimpy!!! Do you need a lift to get to Potionology? I don’t mind being a little latee.”

Jade Leech

Like Floyd, he was mostly unaware of how bad it was to break a bone on your body. Of course he knew it was damaging but he didn’t know it would take weeks to heal.

When he realized how badly you hurt your arm after falling from a tree don’t ask, you’re not really sure either he always tried to keep his eyes on you. Everytime you need to carry something he’s already holding it for you.

Always seems to have everything you need on hand, even if it seems impossible to get it at the time. He never tells you how he gets any of these things though.

Might even try to get you to have some mushroom stew to make you feel better, definitely not just to talk about the different ones he used to make it even though he knows it’s not a common cold.

“You’re so fortunate that I love to care for an unfortunate soul like yours. Would you like me to carry your bag for you?”

Malleus Draconia

When you had told Malleus that you’d broken your arm after the spelldrive tournament, he was surprised. After all, you had beaten several overblots and you get brought down by an unofficial game?

He still takes your injuries very seriously though. He remembers how much pain Silver was in when he had broken something usually just a finger but he’s fallen asleep at bad times before

As a dorm leader, he isn’t able to stay by your side constantly. However, he does send you gifts and your favorite snacks using magic. He even writes you a letter from time to time. Grim gets jealous

When he finally can see you in person, he tells you that he can heal you with his magic. Why didn’t you say that sooner huh? It does feel a little uncomfortable so he wanted to wait until he could get a verbal response from you.

“I can heal you but I need to make sure that you are fully willing to do this. Are you ready?”

Leona Kingscholar

Leona heard you had broken your leg through Ruggie who was chuckling at your expense. Apparently you broke it trying to keep up with grim after he stole something from the cafeteria. One trip and you won a trip to the nurse’s office.

He sent you a text telling you to come to his room, seemingly ignoring the fact that you were down a leg. Said something about you being able to get to your classes just fine. Jerk

When you get your way up there mostly thanks to jack feeling bad for you Leona invites you to take a nap with him. He wastes no time snuggling up to you.

Do you have to go back to check up with Crowley? Too bad, Ruggie’s getting the work for you. Ace needs help with homework? Tell Trey to deal with it. You’re staying right where you are so he knows you aren’t making your leg worse.

“Hmm? You’re not going anywhere, I gotta know you’re not gonna hurt yourself.”

Mama

This is a little fic I made for @idiot-mushroom 's Teenage Turtle Ninja Mutants iteration. This is not canon to that iteration but I was just thinking a lot about shitty parents who suck at boundaries and the combination of oldest daughter syndrome and this was born.

TW there is no actual incest but Splinter makes an incredibly poor taste joke along those lines that's uncomfy to read

Raph doesn’t know when her brothers first start calling her mama. They mostly use it to tease her or complain that he’s a mother henning them. She thinks there may have been a time where it annoyed her but these days he likes it.

As far as nicknames go it’s pretty solid and better than the normal dipshit and dickface that they tend to call each other.

It doesn’t bother her. Until it does.

At first none of them put any thought into Leo entering the kitchen with a “hey mama what’s cooking?” It’s practically a guaranteed reaction from Leo when he sees Raph wearing an apron. It's normal.

They aren’t thinking about the fact that Splinter is in the room.

“Mama?” Splinters asks and Raph watches her siblings all freeze. This could go bad. Splinter's parenting is one of those things he’s sensitive about and there's always a chance he’ll have a reaction even to something as small as a nickname.

Splinter laughs and Raph knows it should be her cue to relax like her brothers are doing but she just can’t. She just has a feeling of dread that keeps her shoulders tense.

“Oh Mama, that is hilarious. Raphael is such a good mama after all. Always taking care of cooking and cleaning! It’s like he is my little wife ha!”

Raph watches her brothers relieved awkward smiles transform into uncomfortable grimaces. He has no idea what his own face looks like or even how to fix it to an appropriate expression. Splinter seems to be immune to the clear discomfort that is drowning the rest of them as he continues laughing.

“Alright ‘mama’ I am going out,” Splinter says, patting Raph on the back before heading to the door. “Make sure to put the kids in bed.”

The silence after he closes the door is suffocating until it isn’t. His brother’s are talking but Raph doesn’t really know what they are saying. Everything is a little too fuzzy to understand and it's hard for Raph to fully comprehend anything except this feeling of wrongness..

She feels weird. She feels gross. He can’t even quite pinpoint why but the feeling just consumes her. Eventually he must have shaken it off even if he can’t remember doing so because suddenly he’s in bed and everyones eaten and the lights are out.

She has no choice but to try to fall asleep and ignore the phantom feeling of bugs crawling all over her.

Like a lot of things they don’t talk about it. Her brother’s stop calling him mama as much and she tries to ignore the feeling of wanting to vomit whenever splinter says it.

She would have probably continued to never talk about it if it wasn’t for Casey Jones.

It's a fire escape night. A routine for just Raph and Casey to look out at the city, eat snacks, and shoot the shit. No siblings, no responsibilities, just a flimsy little platform that could give out any moment and two teens who don’t care.

“So is something up?” Casey asks. The snack of the night is sunflower seeds and Casey seems determined to get as many shells into a flower pot on a balcony across the alley between apartment buildings and is mostly failing at his goal.

“What do ya mean?” Raph asks. She wishes she could join Casey in his quest but he eats her sunflower shells whole in a way that horrifies her friends and family and therefore has nothing to throw. Instead she picks at her nail beds.

“You’ve been weird, Mikey called you mama and you flinched. You’ve never done that before.” Casey says and not for the first time Raph is reminded that Casey is far more observant than he lets on.

“It’s nothin,” Raph mutters.

“C’mon you know I don’t believe that.” Casey stops his sunflower seed mission and turns to look at her. There's something about the look Casey is giving him that Raph actually wants to tell him.

“Splinter caught on to them calling me ‘mama’ and now he's started doing it,” Raph tries to keep her voice even as she stares out into the city but she can feel the bitterness sink in. “Pretty sure he can tell I don’t like it but he won’t stop.”

There's a moment of quiet before Casey lets out a hiss of air from his teeth.

“That sucks.” There's another moment before Casey lets out a small laugh.

“What’s so funny asshole?” Raph says glaring at the boy who is unfortunately her best friend

“Your dad is such an ass that he accidentally validated your gender. I mean obviously he’s being a dick but it’s just kind of funny that he is doing it in a way that uses feminine terms after trying to ignore your whole deal for so long.” Casey snorts, “What a fucking idiot.”

Raph looks at Casey. In a way he’s right. Splinter has brushed off any attempt Raph made to come out and now he’s using a feminine term. Sure it’s in a shitty way. At best it’s a crappy consolation prize and it doesn’t fix the weird gross feeling but-

Casey is trying. Raph shared an actual feeling and Casey isn’t mocking isn’t ignoring he’s trying to make her feel better. It’s.. nice. It helps Raph push away that gross feeling Splinter brings.

“Yeah,” she says. “What an idiot.”

Things aren’t really better. Splinter is still an ass and Raph is still stuck in a situation where he just has to deal with it but when Casey smiles at him it's not hard to smile back.

She at least has that.

#teenage turtle ninja mutants #turtle fic #ttnm #parentification and the weird gross side of it #mushroom if this isn't to your liking and the vibes are off lemme know and i'll delete #god this iteration lives in my head rent free I might fuck around and write another fic for it

a/n: had this purely self-indulgent piece in my drafts but decided to post right after getting a summer cold

Main masterlist

You closed youtube, having finished watching MusicBank. It was no less flawless than you had expected - everyone was positively glowing in their performing attires; even Soobin and Arin looked stunning, chatting effortlessly with the artists, some of them being their friends or acquaintances. The show was sparkling with glory and you'd have been even more thrilled to watch it, had you been there in person.

Unfortunately, the flu had attacked you out of the blue, taking away the opportunity to experience it all first-hand, but you were alright with supporting your friends and boyfriend from behind the screen of your computer. And despite your consistent efforts to assure Hyunjin that you weren't truly upset, he seemed way more disappointed than you.

"Your health is above anything else, darling," he'd said then, "and I wouldn't risk you getting sick further, but I was really hoping you'd be there. There was something I was waiting to show you."

Nonetheless, you appreciated his thoughtfulness immensely, and you did as promised. Your breath was taken away when Domino played and you finally got to see its fantastic choreography along with Hyunjin's short black hair. Once the show ended on a positive note, you plopped onto your bed and began catching up with social media, patiently expecting fancams and edits of the stage. There wasn't much you could have possibly done when still not being recovered, so you snuggled up under the blankets and waited for your boyfriend to return home.

Soon enough the door flew open.

"How's my baby doing? I can't wait to tell you about- oh…" Hyunjin's voice died down when he spotted you curled up in a ball. He was dressed in a simple white tank top and black pants, his sports bag hanging on his shoulder, but he dropped it immediately, then stopped in his tracks to take a better look at you. His eyes softened at the sight and he approached you quietly.

"Love? Are you awake? I didn't mean to burst in like that, I'm sorry."

You peeked from under the covers, phone in hand, "Don't worry, I'm very much awake. But also extremely bored." You rubbed your sleepy eyes. "How did it go?"

He let out a sigh of relief, kicked off his shoes and hopped onto the bed to tackle you into a massive hug. He wrapped his arms around you and breathed in the scent of your hair.

"It was brilliant," he said, "but I'd very much prefer it if you were there with me."

You knew he was speaking from a place of sincerity and warmth, but the comment made your heart sting nonetheless. Hyunjin immediately regretted his choice of words so he rushed to add jokingly, "Don't worry about me being sweaty though, I took a shower before we drove home."

He tightened his embrace around you, letting you rest your head on his chest, "How do you feel now? Is there a way for me to help?"

"I'm doing way better, still lacking energy though," you admitted, aware that he would bug you endlessly until you gave in. "I need to catch up on my studies and training as soon as possible, might start tomorrow if I heal fast enough."

"There's no way I'm letting you step into the practice room anytime soon, sweetheart," he announced softly, but firmly. "You're staying in bed for at least two more days."

You didn't have the strength to complain or fight him so you didn't, and instead ran a hand through his soft hair, admiring his fresh haircut. It was silky to the touch and smelled like coconut and vanilla.

"Changbin called me a mushroom because of it," he whined in feigned offence, referring to the hairstyle. You laughed at his childish antics and grabbed his pouty face, placing kisses on each of his cheeks.

"Probably. But you're my mushroom."

His eyes sparkled at your words and he smiled, then cupped your face, rubbing your cheeks with his thumbs.

"You're so adorable when you're tired, you know that?" he asked and kissed your forehead a couple of times, each time lingering for longer than the previous. His expression switched to a more serious one and his voice lowered, "Have you had dinner yet?"

You shook your head, "I was waiting for you to come home."

He nodded and took your hand in his, attempting to warm it, "I'm here now so what would you like to eat?"

"Something light, perhaps? I don't want to accidentally make myself feel worse."

He hummed and brought your hand to his lips, then kissed your knuckles and the tips of your fingers one by one. He was lost in thought for a few seconds, mentally sorting out ideas until one stood out, "Does ramen sound good, my darling? Just the way you like it."

You smiled, "Absolutely."

"Then I'll cook it up for you right away," he returned your smile with one of his own and kissed your wrist slowly, closing his eyes in order to indulge in the softness of your skin. To him you were precious beyond expression - both the most endurable person he'd ever met, yet he treated you gently like a fragile doll and cherished you endlessly. "Rest well, I'll be with you in a bit to hug the cold out of you."

He let go of your hand and glanced at you over his shoulder on the way out. You giggled at the sound of his eager steps pattering down the stairs and lied back on your pillow, grateful to have Hyunjin by your side, in sickness and health.

Bad Sansuary Day 1: Hot Drinks

(I'm also posting these on my Ao3: @LonesomeKitty62 :3)

When Horror first moved into Nightmare’s castle, he’d been amazed at all the new flavor profiles the surface had to offer. Even before the famine began at home, the types of herbs and spices they’d had available was severely limited. It’d taken a while for him to adapt to the much wider, much more diverse palette, but once he had, Horror was smitten.

If he wasn’t on duty, sleeping, or washing (or being interrupted by his coworkers (namely Killer)), he’d spend his time in the kitchen. He started with dishes that were more familiar to him at first; broths, soups, and the occasional stew. He’d had a tendency to water them down, trying to save as much as he could for their next meal.

“Horror,” Nightmare had said, commanding his attention to be dragged from his unease. The boss’ gaze pierced through him like a searchlight, sweeping over Horror’s distraught expression and gathering all he needed to know. “Stop shaking. What is the matter with you?”

Nightmare already knew, of course, but he had to hear it from Horror to truly understand. “It’s just-” Horror had tried to explain, but the words were shredded by anxious claws tearing their way up his throat. He felt grotesquely stuffed up with fear, when everyone else was calm. The hulking, skulking creature stood up with his shoulders back and fought through the wad of darkness stuck behind his ribs. “It’s nothing, boss. Really. I can manage myself.” Despite his efforts, his voice came out hoarse, and it sounded like he’d been choking on the smog that he’d tried to push down.

The searchlight narrowed, pinpointing its target. “Obviously, there is something bothering you,” his boss drawled, displeased by the lack of cut and dry honesty. “You’re a nervous wreck. You look as if your dog’s being held for ransom.” Nightmare stood up——“Is this about that wretched soup Dust threw out?”——Horror tensed. The search was over.

Both parties fell silent, but both knew who would have to speak next. “I just thought that… it wasn’t a great use of our resources for him to do that.” Horror couldn’t meet the Boss’ eyes, feeling like a bug under a microscope. He got the uncanny sensation that Nightmare already knew what he was going to say.

“So your solution is to waste your time sulking in shadowy corners and unnerving my team?” Nightmare’s sharpish rebuke was straight to the point, matched by his tendrils which flicked and furled in agitation. “I own you. Therefore, your time is my time, and my time is typically spent working with this group. Tell me, is that not a waste of resources? Is that not a waste of my time?” Horror suppressed a flinch at the reminder, and struggled to keep his tone even.

“I’ll do better,” he said, but Nightmare wasn’t satisfied.

“What you’ll do is explain why something so minor has affected you so significantly.” The words Horror wanted were swirling around his broken skull, which was filled with the same ‘wretched soup,’ and he could not fish out the slivers of mushroom or splinters of celery to form an explanation.

Nightmare continued disdainfully, when his subordinate showed no sign of a response any time soon. “Horror, the soup was awful,” he said flatly, bulldozing through the other’s thoughts. “It was a waste of resources regardless, because no one was going to eat it.”

“However,” he sighed, and ceded his attack, “I recognize that your concerns may lie in the presumption that there isn’t enough food to go around. Look at me, Horror.” Nightmare’s arms were folded over his chest, and Horror forced his head up against the weight of the soup. “When we made our deal, I meant to keep it. You will not go hungry. This team will not go hungry. Horrortale will not go hungry. If you insist on coping through the kitchen, at least make something edible. Do you understand?”

“Of course, Boss.” That was easy enough to respond to. Some of the iron fillings clogging up his lungs dissipated at the reassurance, but it would be a while before he could breathe with ease.

He was dismissed with a nod, but as he turned to leave, Nightmare added, “Personally, I think nutrition has been a sore point for this team. If you’re willing to see to that, be my guest.” It was just a suggestion, but one should never wholly disregard advice from the boss.

“...I’ll try.”

But he’d found that tending to the needs of others kept his mind off of other anxieties. Seeing his coworkers (whom Horror grew to accept as a second family over the years) healthy and full of good food eased the fear of starvation. With meal plans made weeks in advance, Horror could stockpile the fridge high with ingredients, and so he never felt a gnawing unease upon seeing it empty. He branched out to heartier mains, decadent desserts, and eventually explored the medicinal properties of food. Ginger can cure a stomach ache, peppermint provides sinus relief, and lavender calms the nerves.

Horror carefully balanced mugs of hot tea on a platter, and carried them out to the sitting room. Green tea for Cross, whose bones ached from sparring, chamomile for Dust, who always got a headache in the evenings, and black tea sweetened with honey for Killer, who had a sore throat.

“It’s because he never stops talking,” Dust scoffed, and Horror snorted, nearly dropping Killer’s mug into his lap. To the tune of their bickering, Horror sat down with his own mug of hot chocolate, shoulder to shoulder with Cross.

“Have you started yet?” Nightmare melted from the shadows and glanced at the set up for their weekly get together of card games and movies. Horror shook his head and smiled, handing Nightmare his evening dose of magnolia tea, which he took graciously. Everyone settled in for the night, and there wasn’t an ounce of worry in his stomach. That space was reserved for good food shared with good friends.

Can I please have some facts about Coraline?

Wow,I never thought someone would be interested! I gathered a few fun facts,and while I’m sure they’re easy to spot, these are fun to tell to the new viewers:

•To start it off,the movers who were unpacking Coralines family furniture were modeled and named after Joe and Jerome Ranft,who worked on Nightmare Before Christmas:

•The dollar that was handled over to them has the image of Henry Selick on it,director of Coraline:

•Wybie Lovat is not part of Neil Gaiman’s novel-he was created so that Coraline won’t talk to herself( in the book we read about her thoughts,but it’s much harder to do so in film).

•The medal of Mr Bobynsky is real one: it was awarded to the Chornobyl disaster liquidators(fun fact:the power plant is called ChOrnobyl, not ChErnobyl since it was built in Ukraine,so Ukrainian spelling style applies). His exposure to radiation explains Bobynsky’s blue skin and unwell mind:

•The “jumping mice” are also real.They are native to the south of United States:

•During Coralines first encounter with Other Mother,when she asks Beldam what rain is she talking about,we see a quick appearance of lightning which looks suspiciously like a hand. This is not a coincidence, as the hand is closely associated with the witch (this sign appears in the cup during the foreshadowing of Spink and Forcible; her severed hand chases the heroine at the end of the movie):

•It’s a pretty well known fact,but on the cake itself we see that “home” in “Welcome home” has an “o” written with a double loop,which according to pseudoscience called graphology means that the person who wrote it is lying.Thus,Coraline is welcomed but it isn’t her home:

•Here’s my own little theory: each time Coraline crawls through the tunnel to another world, it dims,until all the colors disappear and the true essence of the pathway is revealed - a cobweb with children’s toys in it(a trap for kids).Now it might be just a trick of light,but it’s interesting to think about nevertheless:

•The audience gets hints of Beldams fairy/witch nature throughout the film; the first time is when Coraline finds a well surrounded by a circle of mushrooms, which in the beliefs of many people was associated with fairies who lured people into them(sounds familiar?).The second time is when she was given a stone with a hole in it by Spink and Forcible.This rock is often called Hag stone,and is believed to serve as a protection against evil spirits.It is also believed that you can see through the guise of a witch by looking through the hole(exactly what Coraline did to find the eyes of missing children):

•Now,the bug theme in Coraline is really prevalent,and later in the movie we can see that Other Mother is heavily associated with spiders.Meanwhile Coraline has similar thing going on-she wears hairpin resembling dragonfly,who are known for eating spiders.Because of this,the game of predator and prey is turned on its head:

That’s it for now,hope these were interesting for you!

I like Pokémon and as my post history can tell you, I like fish. So why not combine the two and talk about fish Pokémon? I’m going to go over the real life inspirations for every fish Pokémon, discussing their biology and cool facts about the real inspirations. I’ll do this in parts so it doesn’t get too long. Today let’s do generation I and II.

The first fish we get in national dex order is the Horsea line and these aren’t too hard to figure out. They’re seahorses, some of the weirdest fish out there. Seriously, real seahorses are way weirder than Pokémon. We’re talking about fish that can barely swim, have prehensile tails, mate for life, the males get pregnant, and they have no stomachs but have the highest hunting success rate of all fish. Horsea has nothing on that. Horsea can also shoot water and ink from its mouth. This seems to be a reference to squid ink and water guns, though Horsea’s RB dex entry says they use precision shots to shoot down flying bugs. This was likely inspired by the archerfish, which does exactly that. This won’t be the only time that archerfish come up in this series. Their category as the dragon pokemon and Kingdra’s dragon typing references the Japanese word for seahorse, tatsu-no-otoshigo, which means “dragon’s child” based off of a myth that a seahorse who lives long enough will become a dragon. Kingdra also seems to have some weedy sea dragon influence, but there’s a better example of a Pokémon based on that much later in the series.

(image description, a seahorse)

So many recurring archetypes in the series can be traced back to gen I. Archetypes like the early game bird, the early game bug, the early game rodent, the mushroom, the three-stage rock, and more came from RBY. Another, probably less intentional archetype is the incredibly forgettable fish. Meet Goldeen and Seaking. They’re based on goldfish and koi and the only thing that makes them stand out from real fish is the horns. There are a truly absurd number of goldfish breeds but the one that looks closest to Goldeen is the tosakin, which has a curly tail like Goldeen and is popular in Japan while Seaking looks most like an azuma nishiki.

(image description: a tosakin Goldfish)

Since goldfish and koi are both members of the carp family, I wonder if there’s a close ancentral relationship to Magikarp. They are also said to swim upriver to spawn and Seaking gets redder during mating season, which seems to be a clear reference to salmon. In addition, male Seaking uses its horn to make a hole in a rock for the female to lay her eggs in. many male fish will make nests or other structures to woo females and provide a a safe spot to lay eggs. The horn is interesting. At first I thought I was just there to make them look less like normal fish, but there might be more to it than that. There are fish with horns, the cowfish, but they look nothing like these two (and barely look like fish for that matter) so I don’t think that was an inspiration. The unicornfish has a horn-like protrusion on its head that could have been an inspiration. I also found refences to Hinduism with Matsya, an avatar of Vishnu that looked like a horned fish in some depictions which could also be a reference in the line’s design (sidenote, a India-based region would be really cool).

(mage description: an artistic depiction of Matsya as a horned fish)

These fish are found in a ton of regions despite not being all that interesting. In real life goldfish have become invasive or introduced species in many areas due to irresponsible pet owners releasing them into the wild. As these two are sometimes kept as pets, I wonder if their wide distribution in the Pokémon world is due to the same thing. Also, why is fresh water fish named Seaking?

Next we move on to the mon, the myth, the legend: Magikarp. I’m only going over Magikarp as I see Gyarados as a sea serpent/eastern dragon rather than a fish. Magikarp is, as you might guess, an Asian carp, though it also seems to have some koi features.

(image description: a common carp)

The common carp is somewhat golden in color, which could explain Magikarp’s shiny color, and mirror carp and koi have been specially bred for appearance, which might be why Magikarp is red. Magikarp is famous for its splashing and jumping, something Asian carp are also known for. Silver carp in particular can jump clear out of the water, which makes them a hazard for boaters.

(gif description: a silver carp jumping out of the water and hitting a boater in the head)

Most pokedex entries focus on the splashing and how weak Magikarp is, but some go on to say their survival in the Pokémon world is due to them being able to live in very poor water quality and reproducing like crazy. This is very true of real Asian carp, who can thrive in terrible conditions and produce millions of eggs per spawning. This has contributed to them becoming invasive species in many parts of the world. Considering Magikarp can be found in every region, the same is probably true of the Pokemon world. Magikarp evolving into the draconic Gyarados is a reference to the legend of the dragon bridge: a waterfall that, if a carp jumped over it, would turn the carp into a dragon.

Chinchou and Lanturn are weird little fish. The glowing lures and their described deep-sea habitat make them deep-sea anglerfish, specifically football fish, but they also look very different than their inspirations.

(image description, a footballfish that washed up on the shore)

Some deep-sea anglerfish have multiple glowing lures like these two, but I couldn’t find any with Chinchou’s orientation. I think Chinchou may be a reference to alien bug-eyed monsters, with its body looking like the head and the antennae you sometimes see on said BEMs. Chinchou being able to walk on its fins may be a reference to shallow water anglerfish, who are often bottom dwellers who have modified their pectoral and/or pelvic fins into legs.

(Image description, a frogfish. note the fins that have been modified for use as legs)

Chinchou’s name is the giveaway to it identity. It seems to come from chōchin (lantern) and the related chōchin-ankō (deep-sea anglerfish). Lanturn looks more like a fish, but it still doesn’t look much like an anglerfish as it’s cute and they’re usually ugly as hell. A lot of people say it has dolphin influence. I don’t really get dolphin from its design, but if it is a dolphin, it may draw from the Greek god Apollo, who was associated with light and whose sacred animal was a dolphin. Chinchou having fin legs but Lanturn lacking them seems to indicate that as they mature, they go from bottom-dwellers to free-swimming fish. Since real anglerfish use symbiotic, bioluminescent bacteria in their lures, the Chinchou line may be one of the few cases of a mutualistic relationship in Pokemon and maybe the only one with a non-Pokémon lifeform that isn’t a plant. Interestingly, Slowbro, Slowking, Remoraid, Mantine, Tatsugiri, and Dondozo also have mutualistic relationships and they’re all water type. That’s a weird coincidence.

Qwilfish is certainly an underdog (underfish?) story. From being a completely forgettable single-stager for multiple generations until a regional form and evolution pulled it from obscurity. Both it and its Hisuan form are pufferfish or porcupinefish. Both are closely related and have the ability to gulp in water or air (though gulping air is bad for them) to inflate their spiny bodies as a defense.

(image description: an inflated porcupinefish)

Unlike their counterparts, Qwilfish is always inflated, but can grow even bigger where in the real fish, inflation is stressful and only done when in danger. The line’s poison typing comes from real pufferfish having some incredibly potent poison. It’s called tetradotoxin and it’s an extremely dangerous neurotoxin. Fugu fish famously has to be prepared by a well-trained chef who knows what parts to cut away to avoid poisoning whoever eats it. Pnlike real puffers, Qwilfish can inject the poison into others through its spines, making it venomous as opposed to the real ones, who are poisonous. Overqwil also seems to have some sea urchin elements with how huge its spines are. Some urchins are also venomous and can inject poison through their quills. Finally, the whole line seems to be based off of naval mines what with their roundness and ability to explode.

Remoraid is a fish of many talents and has a lot of origins. First things first, it’s a pistol. This is more easily seen in its unused older design, but you can still see it. This is also why it evolves into an octopus. Octillery is an artillery cannon. Also the animals they’re based on both use suction and squirt water. Remoraid also has major inspiration from the archerfish (remember them?) in that it is a master at spitting water with precision and the pokedex says it can shoot targets out of the air just like an archerfish.

(imager description: a spitting archerfish)

The archerfish inspiration and pistol design are why it learns so many shooting moves. Finally, Remoraid is a remora, even though they really look nothing alike. Like the remora, it has a modified dorsal fin shaped like a suction cup that it uses to suction onto larger animals. Both remoras and Remoraid will get carried along by the larger animal and will eat scraps of the larger animal’s meal. The remora benefits by getting a free ride, water over the gills, and food while the larger animal may also get some benefits from the remora eating ectoparasites and dead skin. A remora attaching to an animal would either be a commensal (one party benefits, the other receives neither benefit nor harm) or mutualistic relationship. In Pokémon, the only animal we see Remoraid attaching to is Mantine and they have an explicitly mutualistic relationship as Remoraid fights alongside Mantine and its presence allows Mantyke to evolve. Speaking of which…

image description: a mana ray with two remoras attached to it

Mantyke and Mantine are stingrays, specifically manta rays, one of my favorite animals. They truly are gentle giants and these Pokémon are too, being primarily special walls. Like mantas, Mantyke and Mantine are intelligent, social, and playful creatures. Mantas are one of if not the smartest fish, smart enough to pass the mirror test by recognizing their own reflections. There is a correlation between animal intelligence and playfulness. The smarter an animal is, the more likely it is to play for fun rather than for hunting practice and other purposes. This can be seen in primates, corvids, canines, and yes, rays. Those antennae on Mantyke and Mantine are based on the cephalic flaps of the manta, modified fins that help direct plankton into its mouth. Of course these two have the flying type and unlike Gyarados, there’s a good reason for it. Mantas are part of the genus Mobula and all 9 species of the genus are known to leap out of the water before splashing back down.

(image description: a Mobula ray jumping)

Nobody really knows why they do this, but there could be several reasons: cleaning parasites, herding prey, finding lost members of the school, or maybe just for fun. Mantine’s flying abilities are highly exaggerated and it also has some airplane design features, with the Remoraid on its wing looking like a plane engine or wing-mounted gun. As mentioned above, Remoraid and the Mantyke line have a mutualistic relationship. Not really relevant but still a fun fact: mantas give live birth and the babies come out folded up like burritos.

That’s it for part one. Come back next time for generations III and IV

Five times Dot made Flik laugh (and one time she made him cry)

"Will you sit by my bed while I fall asleep?"

They'd started this little ritual almost a year ago, after Hopper and his gang came to visit the first time. The princess had a nightmare about Thumper and ended up wandering the anthill in the middle of the night, half-delirious from fear. Flik was the one who found her and carried her back to her room, then stayed by her bedside and held her hand until the orange light of sunrise filtered through the anthill.

Although the grasshoppers were gone and the nightmares didn't come as often, Flik never asked Dot why she sometimes still wanted him there.

It was one of those nights. He'd been sitting on a stone beside Dot's bed, which was made from the hollowed out acorn half that had once served as a fake bird's beak. She'd fallen asleep twenty minutes ago, but something in Flik compelled him to stay a little longer.

He was frantically scribbling ideas for new inventions on a piece of leaf parchment he'd found when a quiet voice broke his train of thought.

“Flik?”

“Hm?”

“You like-like Atta, don’t you?”

Flik blinked and rubbed at his eyes until the princess's face came into focus. "Of course I like her. I like everyone in your family."

Even in the dim light of her mushroom lamps he could see Dot's eyes roll. "No, like-like. That means you like her more than just a friend. Like...you want to marry her."

If Flik had been drinking something at that moment, he would have spewed it all over her crisp petal blanket.

“What makes you think that?” he asked, aware that his voice was about an octave higher than its normal pitch.

Dot's hand emerged from beneath the blanket as she began counting off the reasons on her fingers. “You’re with her all the time. You’re always smiling when she’s around. You do anything she wants you to. And you look at her with these…these…googly eyes.”

Flik smiled in spite of himself. "We're bugs, Dot. We all have googly eyes."

She stared at him, clearly unamused by his quip. Apparently he wasn't getting out of this one.

Flik sighed and rolled the parchment on his lap into a tube shape. Then he pressed his elbows into his knees and cupped his chin in his palms, giving his inquisitive friend his full attention.

"Okay…" he said softly. "So maybe I do ‘like-like' your sister. How does that make you feel?”

Dot took a moment to consider the question. “I dunno," she finally said, sitting up and wrapping her arms around her knees. She looked like a tiny purple version of Tuck or Roll. "A little weird, I guess.”

Flik frowned. He'd been worried that this might happen. “I’m sorry, Dot. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”

She shrugged and looked down at her knees. “It’s okay. I’m getting used to it."

A beat of silence went by, during which Flik scrambled for the right thing to say. Before he could open his mouth, Dot's curled into a smile. "It does mean I get to see you more, which I like.”

Flik grinned and felt his shoulders relax. Maybe this whole situation didn't have to be as awkward as he thought it would be. “I like that, too.”

The room was draped in silence again, but this time it wasn't the bad kind. After a moment Dot yawned and nestled herself beneath the blanket. Instinctively Flik reached over to pull it up to her chin.

"For the record..." he whispered as he tucked the antling into bed like he'd done so many nights before. "...You were my friend first."

Dot rolled over onto her side, but not before Flik caught her smile deepening. He waited a few minutes until he was sure she was asleep by the pace of her breathing. Then he tucked the roll of parchment beneath his arm and stood up to head to bed himself.

He made it about halfway to the door.

"Flik?"

"Hm?"

“No kissing my sister in front of me, okay?”

My little sister watches Toh saga

We uh... got through episodes 8-11 so a bit to cover!

Episode 8

Starting off the episode with Hooty. She was already invested.

"I'll never find a way into Amity's heart!" cue Rock face from here

So uh as much as she loves Hooty she still was weird out by him... swallowing King

"What is Hooty eating???" Cuz King was covered in some stuff.

Oh shit this is puberty talk I thought in a panic

Anyways!!! Bug dance was funny. She was re repeating DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER for a while.

"HOW BIG IS THAT SYRINGE??"

Voice powers had her hyped actually, she was all "What is that?? HE HAS POWERS NOW???" Cute

Onto Eda!!

"I want those cookies." I am not letting you get roofied by a baked good, kid >:(

Oh she was not ready for Owlbeast to attack Dell lemme tell ya.

We got the Archivists part of the Owl Beasts memories and I popped off

She really loved the segment where Eda talked to the Owl Beast.

"I want a plush of it."

"THAT'S SO PRETTY!!!!" in reference to the ending of the dream sequence

SAY HI TO HARPY EDA KID :DDDD

"SHE CAN DO THAT???"

Onto the Lumity segment (y'all were waiting weren't you)

"Stop blushing so much oh my gosh." "They do that a lot trust me."

She was all "ohh nooo" at the reveal of the Tunnel of Love and I was dying inside.

"Amity calm down oh my gosh!" I am in tears rn

she was sooooo hyped at the part where King used his powers again

Little tiny gasp at the Lumity part immediately after

the part where Luz was dancing around asking Amity out she was YELLING

"JUST DO IT ALREADY!!!"

Hooty receives a letter from someone

"KING'S DAD!?!?" no

Episode 9

She has been obsessed with what Belos looks like under the mask ever since we first saw him

"Oh man sure hope Little Rascal doesn't get caught...." "Why?" "... Remember how Belos eat-" "NO I DON'T WANT TO-" (Doing just fine here-)

"That's what he looks like?? ... ew what's the green for??"

I am freaking out right now kid, don't ask me

I paused so much because wow implications when you know the full story are REAL

"What did you think of that conversation (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)" "... Creepy." GIRL SAME

"Is that-" "Dragon Ball Z? Yes" (knows through memes okay?)

"Oh what happened to her??" "She's sick :("

we will now skip over a bunch of stuff nothing too exciting happened here tbh

I am pausing so much during this episode and it's annoying her (YOU WILL UNDERSTAND I PROMISE!!!)

"Lotta projection going on here." "... what?"

Had to explain some stuff about the convo between Hunter and Amity over the Tamagotchi (give her a moment)

"Oh. That's not good." "It really isn't."

Don't mind me just sobbing inside at every Hunter/Flapjack interaction.

Was so so so worried for Owlbert there.

"It's in the key?!?" Yeah uh so here we are :)))))

She was so entranced with the animation and so was I (with internal screaming though)

"SHE CRACKED IT!!!"

"Mushroom Luz."

Was awwing over Flapjack and Hunter at the end (don't mind me just... gonna go over here and AUGHHHHH)

Episode 10

"Who is that?? How is she in the mirror"

"Weird door."

In between is really interesting actually

"IT'S!!! HER!! THE SLUG!!"

Again I found her watching this show at S3E1 at the intro part (all she remembers was Hunter and Vee thank god) so she popped off here.

"She's cute. I like her."

*pause* "Okay so you see that?" *points at Gravesfield logo* "Remember that." "okay..."

"Oh and those two." *points at the the Wittebanes* "Okay I will sheesh 🙄" /lh

She will not

"The basilisks remember? "OH YEAH-"

Not much from her until the rain sequence.

"HOW IS SHE HOLDING HER??" girl don't sweat it, cry with me instead :)

"I feel bad for Camila.' SAME

Episode 11

Honestly not much happened here with her so uhhh....

Biggest take away for her though

"CAT COVEN PERSON!!!" (coven scout)

"King read her diary-"

Ahola I have come back again to bother u.

May I please request a main omori gang x reader but like the reader has a butterfly sanctuary but the gang doesn’t know about it but like Basil or someone find a website to the butterfly sanctuary and they buy tickets to go and meanwhile the reader has to work the day the gang goes to the butterfly sanctuary so they have to bow out. But when the gang gets there they find the reader and are like “huh???” Sorry for the ramble I just thought this was a cool idea! Also hydrate or diedrate

have a good day

-chaos mushroom

MAIN CAST WITH A READER WHO HAS A BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY

WOAHHH I’ve always wanted to be in one of those places despite being a tiny bit scared of all bugs and insects :00 HOPE U ENJOY!!

SUNNY

SUNNY is not afraid of butterflies like he is with spiders, so of course he would agree to go see a BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY with his friends. he finds butterfly wings beautiful really, and he’s never really been in one before

once he finds out along with the others that you owned the nearest SANCTUARY, he was a bit surprised. he did wonder why you didn’t tell him or the others but he simply shrugs it off

when he looks around the area, he sees so many butterflies it genuinely amazes him! he finds the entire place so pretty as he just stares with his usual stoic expression

SUNNY felt a bit overwhelmed that there were many butterflies surrounding the area, but he told himself that he’s literally in a BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY so of course he’d see a ton of butterflies. you watched as a singular butterfly landed on the top of SUNNY’s nose, you giggled at the mere sighting. SUNNY just.. stood there very still as his eyes look directly at the butterfly without saying or doing anything. he sighs in relief as the butterfly then flies off

he may look unimpressed due to his facial expression barely changing, but trust me he thinks your SANCTUARY is very beautiful. he wonders how much this whole thing costed

if you would talk about butterfly facts, he would immediately listen carefully as he was a bit curious. SUNNY was always a good listener!

one butterfly probably caught his attention in particular. he crouched down and simply watches whatever his favorite butterfly is doing

AUBREY

at first AUBREY is a bit hesitant to go. the thought of being surrounded by butterflies who could literally land on her at any time was a bit uncomfortable to her but she gives in anyways

when she finds out you own the BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY, she was definitely surprised. she never really pegged you the type to literally OWN AN ENTIRE BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY.

when she looks around the area, AUBREY genuinely thought this place looked absolutely peaceful. she slowly starts to grow more curious as she walked around.

"woah.. this is— really.. cool actually. how’d you even have the money to have this sort of thing, [READER?]" AUBREY had asked as she then stopped walking for a bit. before you could even answer her question, she lets out a surprised yelp. you couldn’t help but giggle at the sight of a butterfly landing on top of her nose. "g-get off of me, jeez..!" AUBREY moves her hands to swat the butterfly off of her nose.

when she was younger, AUBREY had always wanted a butterfly to land on her finger as she held it out, like some sort of disney princess with a bird. but now that she’s older, it made her feel a bit unpleasant

she still enjoyed the place, but really didn’t want butterflies touching her at all. she did think butterflies are pretty.. just when they’re not right next to her.

she asks you if she could visit again whenever she had the chance to, since this is a place where she would feel a bit more relaxed than usual.

KEL

KEL never really paid attention to the little insects in life, except for that one time where he went beetle hunting with his friends when he was younger. but he really wanted to see what was inside a BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY, so he went along with his friends

when he finds out you own the SANCTUARY, he’s surprised of course but also genuinely impressed! he asks you multiple questions like, why’d you get a SANCTUARY? did you always have it or did you recently own one? you liked butterflies?

when walking around, KEL was genuinely excited. he ran around the place, wanting a butterfly to land onto him at least. he ends up scaring most butterflies away from his fast movements

"woah hey wait—! dang, that one looked really cool!" you heard KEL groan in annoyance as he speed walked the entire area, wanting to touch a butterfly with his bare hands. then suddenly he stops, and you realize why. you let out a tiny chuckle as one butterfly landed on top of his nose. "wait— wow.. hey there little fella!" KEL waved at the butterfly and wanted to touch it, but it flew away once his finger got close.

he asked a lot of questions about the butterflies that lived here. did you have to capture every single one of them? he was genuinely curious!

if one butterfly caught his eye, he’d chase it around and wanted to befriend it. he tries to pay attention to which butterfly it was but there was too many!

KEL actually had a fun time at the BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY, smiling in satisfaction. he really liked how calm the place looked, and surprisingly asked if he visit here again!

HERO

like SUNNY, HERO isn’t scared of butterflies as he is with spiders, and actually thinks they’re really cute! he’s never been in a BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY before, so he’s a bit excited to go!

when he found out you owned the BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY, he couldn’t help but be in awe! he would ask you why you liked butterflies and even owned a SANCTUARY dedicated to them

when looking around, HERO was absolutely mesmerized by how beautiful the SANCTUARY looked along with how gorgeous the butterflies were. he thinks you took a long time taking care of the SANCTUARY and absolutely respects you

"it must’ve taken quite a long time to take care of this beautiful place, huh?" HERO had asked while walking around. "yeah, it did take a while.. but it was worth it! and—" you couldn’t even properly finish your sentence as you realized that a butterfly has landed onto HERO’s nose. you were a bit worried on how he was going to take it, maybe he’d freeze up like he does with spiders..? turns out, he simply gently swats the butterfly off of his nose. "haha, thank goodness it wasn’t a spider.."

he’d love to hear a few butterfly facts from you! HERO would listen to you talking about butterflies and facts about them nonstop! he LOVES the dedication you put into this SANCTUARY

if one particular butterfly caught his eye, he would slowly follow it around to see what it would do as he looks at how beautiful the wings on the butterfly were

he would definitely be coming back, HERO would want a peaceful place to get away from it all sometimes. he’d appreciate it if you let him.

BASIL

BASIL was the one who decided to search for any of the nearest BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY’s that were open so that he could invite his friends with him. he eventually found yours and thought it was stunning!

when he found out you owned it, he was super surprised and in total shock! he wondered why you didn’t tell him before, he would’ve love to see it earlier!

when walking around, he takes his camera with him to take pictures of the SANCTUARY. if you don’t allow people taking photos he’ll apologize and understand completely. if that’s not the case then he’ll have so much fun!

you kept hearing the sound of BASIL’s camera taking a photo of certain areas around your SANCTUARY. suddenly, it stopped for a bit surprisingly. you then walked over to BASIL to see what was up and was immediately giggling at the sight of the scene. BASIL had a butterfly land on his nose! "o-oh my gosh..! [READER], take a photo for me please..!" BASIL handed you his camera as he desperately wanted you to save this as a memory he’ll never forget.

he listened to any butterfly facts you had on you with a slight smile on his face. you then get plant suggestions and what to grow in the sanctuary.

BASIL will even volunteer and plant things for you in the SANCTUARY, especially flowers that BUTTERFLIES usually eat the nectar from

he would start to visit the SANCTUARY daily to see the many beautiful areas that were apart of it, and take many photos of the butterflies and flowers!

MARI

MARI absolutely loves the idea about going to a BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY with her friends! she wonders if she could even have a little picnic there as well!

when she found out you owned the SANCTUARY BASIL liked, she immediately grew more excited and happy! she bombarded you with tons of questions

when walking around, MARI would always stop and hold out her finger just so a butterfly can land on it. once it does, she smiled in awe at how tiny it was.

"oh my goodness, [READER]! why didn’t you tell us about this place earlier? it’s sooo gorgeous!" MARI said as she looked around with a smile on her face, while you scratched the back of your head in embarrassment. then suddenly a butterfly landed on MARI’s nose. she takes a few seconds to process it but immediately smiles. "well.. aren’t you super cute?~" MARI smiled as she looked at the butterfly, even after it flew away.

MARI would definitely ask if she could start a picnic here in the SANCTUARY with the butterflies. if you agree, she’ll immediately bring her picnic basket next time. if not, she totally understands and nods her head

if you do ever have picnics, MARI would always have some of her attention on the butterflies as they fly around the picnic

MARI will definitely come back, she finds the SANCTUARY pleasant and pretty, not to mention perfect. she kind of wants to play the piano just for the butterflies

Just thought about Lilia's inability to cook combined with Kaiju AU (although potential emetophobia warning jic

Does he pick out gross-but-edible foods? Does he mash up a bunch of different stuff into a paste because some pesky little hatchlings will sometimes pick out the tastiest parts of food and refuse the rest unless it's all together? Does he try feed them similarly to how birds feed their kin? (like... Parent birds with baby birds, ya'know? Except indirectly because he massive)

I'm curious about your take on it lol

WARNING: Emetophobia (fear of vomiting) mentioned, but not discussed in detail!

Hoo boy, I think it’s hilarious how no matter which AU Lilia is in, he is just that bad at cooking. Even Malleus mentioned this when he was in the Culinary Chef event! 😂

Anyway, something I’d like to point out is that when Kaiju are born/hatched, they already have their starter baby teeth that help them eat and can start hunting live prey (like baby crocodiles and alligators!) that their parents/guardians bring them or even small (to them) bugs to chase and pounce on! So, they don’t really require milk or…well, being fed the way birds and penguins feed their babies. After all, these guys are meant to be the ultimate survivalist species! (Next to humans or water bears/tardigrades anyway…possibly even more so)

But yeah, so he’s going to be one of those ones who—much like Nevermore/Crowley and Crewelfang/Crewel—he does bring home food to feed his adopted children…only for Malleus to sneak in and bring the younger ones more fulfilling (and non-potentially-lethal) food after distracting him, destroying the evidence with the pools of lava nearby. Malleus may be young still, but he managed to help raise Silver and Sebek to teen/adult Kaiju-hood!

You are right in that when it comes to the younger of the Kaiju pups, he will mash up fruits with roots. After all, a growing Kaiju needs good, healthy foods that will make them stronger!...unfortunately, he doesn’t quite grasp the fact that most Kaiju can’t stomach some of the things he considers “good”.

“If it doesn’t kill me, then it’s safe for young hatchlings, right?”

Lilia…no. Stop. Silver passed out from your cooking in the game, don’t make it worse in this AU!

Anyway, so yeah, Lilia may try to feed Yuu and Grim when it’s Diasomnia’s turn to “cub-sit” (aka when none of the Alpha Titans/the staff—still thinking of a proper name for these guys as a pack are able to do it). Using a rock to mash up the food, it looks like a mix of toxic sludge—making it impossible to tell what it used to be made of even by smell! If it hadn’t been for the fact that Yuu and Grim watched him make it, they might’ve assumed the worst. >A<;

Luckily for these two, Sebek and Silver run interference while Malleus distracts Lilia, one grabbing the leaf “plate” of food while the other sneaks them a snack in the form of a fruit or a bit of meat (or both). After such an ordeal, Yuu and Grim will automatically cling to the closest Kaiju whenever Lilia tries to bring them something to eat. And when the Kaiju started learning the magical art of cooking with fire and smoke…?

Let’s just say that it looked perfect...at first. But he kept adding more and more ingredients to the meat, cooking it longer and longer and somehow managing to carve out a giant stone bowl to make a stew after seeing Yuu make something similar. The final result was something that looked like a purple and green swamp. Yuu could swear (which MIRA later verified) that some of those herbs and mushrooms he added to the dish were poisonous.

Outside of cooking, though, he can make the most comfortable nest using webbing and plant materials to create the softest nest imaginable! And while young ones sleep, he’s hanging upside down, watching and frightening off bold scavengers who think Yuu and Grim are easy prey. He does his best for sure, and I love him—just…keep him out of the Kaiju version of the kitchen 🤣

#twisted wonderland #twst #twisted wonderland kaiju au #twst kaiju au #lilia vanrouge #twst silver #malleus draconia #sebek zigvolt #twst yuu #twisted wonderland yuu #twisted wonderland grim #twst grim

Fault (Yandere Tighnari × Reader)

TW: Drugging, read at your own risk

It wasn't Tighnari's fault.

laying in a bed, back at what the forest rangers would call as the "headquarters" located in Gandharva Ville in such a seni-paralyzed state that seemed to be growing severe shouldn't even something that Tighnari should be worrying about. It was something he was already discussing to every newly recuited person in the organization, and perhaps a little to often to those who don't listen at all.

He'd say that it was dangerous, that it should be a common sense-- a responsibility, at this point, to differentiate what mushrooms can be eaten and what not. He'd even go into detail, if he wanted to, to describe what color it has, what it smelled like, where would you find it and what are the causes, and others would probably find it repititve or headache inducing, but at the end of the day, they'd understand where he was coming from.

Tighnari would be mad, he'd berate, and maybe he would punish, but it wasn't his fault when people were the one who chose to eat what he clearly said that they shouldn't.

And you, you wondered when did he remind you of that.

Perhaps he was a little to gentle with you, or perhaps he was a little too forgiving, at first you thought, but every now and then when you go out at patrols to study about mushrooms as that was part of your supposed expertise, as someone who's about to enter the akademiya, you'd inhale and expose and try to taste the mushrooms to know what properties it had and weirdly, scarily, you'd faint, even though some mushrooms are already proven and verified as not harmful.

Then, you'd wake up in a bed back at Gandharva Ville, in Tighnari's bed, specifically, and he'd frown at you, looking at you as if he was confused why did you woke up, a look of disappointment ghosting in his eyes, and when you asked him what happened, he was kind of all over the place before collecting himself once again, smiling at you and explaining the situation you are in, handimg you a potion youve never seen before. You'd look at him suspicously, of course, but before you knew it, he was already pushing the glass in you lips.

It made you suspicously weak.

When asked about it? Tighnari would just brush it off, saying that it was a side effect. But you were reluctant. If it was a side effect, it was supposed to be felt after a while. But in your situation you already felt it almost immediately. Something is definetlty not right.

But you trusted the reputable forest ranger, since he was an expert in the field. And he was from the akademiya, and even the sages there were trying oh so hard to bring him back. You trusted him by his academical credit, and not with your own intuition telling you to stay the fuck away ftom him because he was being so suspicious in every aspect that you looked.

But you didn't, and you regret it.

Laying in his bed felt like deja vu, but with your current situation, you might stay there forever. It was supposed to be a normal, just another day to patrol and study mushrooms, another day of Tighnari being weird and he was starting to bug you off because of how happy he seemed before you went out in patrol, and when you picked some mushrooms, one that you and archons above were sure that it was edible and unharmful-- you fainted again,

Waking up with a news that you were paralyzed from head to toe.

"It wasn't the mushroom's fault", Tighnari said, and you swore you momentarily saw a smile ghosted im his lips, and unsettingly, there were an aura that he was exuding, something close to satisfaction, something like he knows something but he doesn't want to say it, his face contorting into a held-back excitement every now and then as he explained why you might be staying in his bed for the rest of your life.

But then you smelled yourself, and you know it wasn't the smell of the mushrooms you picked up before all of this even happened, the taste in your mouth felt like a mix of different flavors of different mushrooms and potions with a paralyzing effect, then you glared at him, throwing frustrated accusations, and hurting words that he knows all too well that he deserved,

And he's tired, he'll suddenly say, despite looking like a kid a while ago trying to hide his excitement, but you wouldn't stop screaming, you didn't stop sounding so angry that it pushes his buttons and everything that he did suddenly overflowed from his mouth, the mushrooms-- and why you always faint, it was because of him, and of course, he had his reasons, one that didn't exactly lined up with what you had expected.

He said he loves you, and it was all your fault.

It still echoes in your head, until it reached the back of your mind, touching your sanity, it turned you insane. Then you realized, he was probably right.

It was you who didn't listen. It was you who didn't run away when you had the chance. That epiphany made you even more frustrated. You could have gotten away, if only you weren't so patient, if only you were a bit immature, compared to Tighnari's arrogance, which has led you to worst.

This wasn't Tighnari's fault, or the mushrooms. It was yours.
