“Qi Zhuyin,” Chiye calls out to get her attention, as soon as he catches sight of her. She might have been able to best Jiming while sparring, but that’s an entirely separate set of skills than actually actually surviving an assassination attempt. Making it through the hellish Halloween maze without dying was one point in her favor, and his as well, but-- still a completely different scenario. One person versus an unknown threat, though, isn't as promising as two people versus two potentially unknown threats. He can trust her to watch his back, and he can watch hers in return. "The closest thing to a weapon of self defense I have on me is a fountain pen," he admits frankly. "So I hope you have something better."

“looks like we’ll have to play the hard way.” hongjoo had attempted to converse with the beast. she offered to bring it to some beings deserving of being eatened. negotiations failed, however, when it tried to take a bite out of her. “jaeyoo, hand me the prettiest, biggest sword in my arsenal.”

"you have quite an... extensive and impressive collection of weapons." rebekah complimented as she wandered around the room. "what do you do that requires such an arsenal?" she questioned, raising her brows. was he going to be a problem? rebekah was sure she could dispatch of him with a blink of her eye but.. maybe he could prove a challenge. she hoped so.

HER START

The Deschamps were France’s top luxury cheese producers in the world with Jean Luc being their eldest HEIR to take over the business. He married Samara Sok, a reputable TALENT MANAGER from Hollywood and had their only daughter Yvonne on a sunny, spring day in Paris. 

Growing up her parents had a 50/50 approach when raising her. Given their careers, they knew that they weren’t going to fully be able to commit to parenting and so they agreed to evenly split it amongst themselves and their nannies. As such, some days they were able to be with her for longer, other days it would be a nanny that’s in place. Overall, Yvonne thought it was perfectly normal, but as she got older, she realized the WEIGHT and IMPORTANCE of upholding the Deschamps name.

An heiress in her own right, she lived a life of privilege, but didn’t quite conform to it. She was known to be the REBELLIOUS private school kid, excelling in her studies and extracurricular activities, but tended to get into fights with the other students. The prim and proper lifestyle wasn’t for her and she would get easily irritated by the stuck up Parisian kids. To combat this issue and avoid any attention from the tabloids, her parents decided to MOVE her to Los Angeles, California and start anew there. 

It somewhat worked. Truthfully, a part of Yvonne wanted to live a normal lifestyle and away from the glitz and glamour. However, she soon came to terms that it was inevitable given her status and family’s legacy. Every hobby and interest she had that was outside the box, her parents supported her in. Whether it be martial arts, horseback riding, giving back to the community, etc. She pulled herself in different directions as a means to figure out what her OWN niche would be. 

She found her calling in EVENT PLANNING after attending a Hollywood party with her mother. There were many things she wanted to change about the whole event itself that she wasn’t afraid to provide feedback to the organizers. From there, it was evident that she had taste and knowledge of public events, and with that being said, she decided to PURSUE a career in that. 

After finishing up her schooling, she started DESCHAMPS EVENTS. As a socialite in Hollywood and in the high Parisian lifestyle, Yvonne naturally grew her own following whether it be word of mouth, the tabloids, or social media. She was PROUDLY showcasing her ability to organize events whether it be big or small. 

HER DOWNFALL

The next milestone in her career was her MARRIAGE. Her husband who was a real estate developer and investor, who’s family interests are in real estate, shipping, oil and tankers. They were the ‘it’ couple in the LA high society lifestyle, to the point where Netflix decided to include them in a REALITY TV SHOW about the rich and famous.This boosted their reputation both as a couple and as their own individual selves. It took a lot of getting used to, especially with the lack of privacy, as well as Yvonne wanting to sway her own narrative a certain way. However, surprisingly it worked in her favour as she didn’t really have to put in too much effort. The viewers enjoyed her screen time and she preferred pushing for representation, inclusiveness and activism rather than the petty drama that everyone on the show seemed to garner for views. That DIDN’T mean she was not in the drama and whenever she was, she maintained poise and class as she preferred not to get nasty on screen. 

And it was what she did with her ex-husband, after finding out about him and his family’s ponzi SCHEME with cryptocurrency exchange. There were small tell signs at first, especially when he subtly gave advice on how to run Deschamps Events or was pushing for it to get involved in certain affairs that she wasn’t up for. Then it was the type of investments he was making, some of them didn’t even make sense, especially with a charitable organization. He knew how important philanthropy was for her and using that to his ADVANTAGE, he attempted to involve Yvonne by becoming a shareholder.

The Deschamps heiress REFUSED, as they had an understanding at the start of their marriage that they wouldn’t get involved in their respective business and career. In fact, she was relieved that she was smart enough to sign a prenup at the time even, because after all this her GUT feeling was telling her that something was NOT right. 

And so she HIRED a private investigator that her family recommended and soon found out about the scandal her ex-husband was involved in. This was DETRIMENTAL not only to her career and reputation, but to the Deschamps and Sok name as well. She worked her ass off to build a name for herself only for it to get ruined by a MAN? At that point Yvonne had to act fast.

HER REVENGE

After involving her parents and lawyers of her plan, they hired a whistleblower on an extensive NDA and who was unaware of Yvonne’s involvement to LEAK to TMZ of her husband and his family’s ponzi scheme. Yvonne might as well become an actress at this point because she upheld a clueless and betrayed demeanour after it was publicized on the world renown tabloid. It was an EASY way to not only file for divorce, but exit the Netflix series on her own. She had a REASON and playing the VICTIM essentially worked in her favour. 

In terms of next steps, she did serve her ex-husband the papers to finalize their divorce. However, she’s having difficulties given his pushback in wanting to still make it work. In truth, she FELL OUT LOVE during their marriage, especially when they were so career driven and she honestly felt used throughout their time on and off screen.

HER FREEDOM

Here’s to new beginnings, Yvonne decided to stray away from the spotlight and move to San Francisco to LAY LOW. 

She decided to FOCUS more on Deschamps Events after having a few weddings lined up by some clients. It was definitely a newer environment to get used to, but she was determined on making this healing journey work in her favour. 

That feeling she initially had when she started out her business is slowly coming back to her and so, to somewhat ‘start over’ and garner a different set of clients was a CHALLENGE that she looked FORWARD to completing.

TRIGGERS: *weapons mention tw

Yvonne has been ranked in Forbes list of The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women and has done plenty of TED talks around the world. Although her reputation stems from being a reality tv star and socialite, she’s been deemed as one of the most influential women of her time and is seen as a role model for many women.

She occasionally makes anonymous donations to causes that deal with mental health, schooling for low income families, scholarships for minorities and women, and organizations that aid new immigrants and refugees. She doesn’t want their purpose to be taken away from her own spotlight. 

With that being said, she does host a charitable event around Christmas time, but this may be the first year where things might be a little different. 

She has made cameos and guest starred in some tv shows and movies. She prefers that than becoming a full blown actress. 

Yvonne has a niche collection of weaponry from knives, and kitanas.

Her physical hobbies include karate (black belt), fencing, muay thai, and arnis. The more tamed physical hobbies would be archery, yoga, ballet and horseback riding. 

With her marriage failing, she hadn’t had time to fully process it and she knew it would eventually hit her, especially since her event planning business does deal with weddings. It’s one of the driving factors as to why she moved to SF. 

She will take her secret to the grave and refuse for her ex-husband and the public to know of what she had done. She wants to always have the upper hand. 

A foodie at heart, she’s excited to explore San Francisco and its culture. 

Currently, the divorce is not finalized as both of their lawyers are still hashing out the agreement. She is also being vouched for her own reality tv show, especially since she’s conforming to a different lifestyle away from Hollywood. However, she turned that down immediately, but that doesn’t mean they’re persistent. 

Overall, she is simply trying to start over, especially at this stage in her life and close out a chapter that she once knew.

@daydrcamings for bucky

repeated run ins with kang and the various avengers had started to make loki a bit paranoid. even if not all of them remembered him, he still didn't like having so many enemies here. so when he saw a strange man with a metal arm approaching him, he panicked and drew his daggers. "who sent you? kang? stark? rogers? if it's either of the last two tell them to leave me alone. i've retired from conquering."

Vanessa's Pinterest

DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER’S AESTHETIC IN FIVE WORDS OR LESS Glitchy tvs and text. Bunnies. Missing Posters. Knives. Vanessa's aesthetic is a mind that is clearly fragmented, with a past haunted by trauma. WHAT FLOWER WOULD YOU CONNECT TO YOUR CHARACTER? WHY? Tansy flowers. Tansy represents resistance, and good health. Both things that Vanessa needs. She needs to resist her father's control, and she craves being in good mental and physical health again. PICK A CRYSTAL THAT YOU FEEL FITS YOUR MUSE BEST AND EXPLAIN THE CONNECTION Black Obsidian. Black Obsidian represents purification, protection, and grounding. "Black Obsidian protects and cleanses your energetic field of any disharmony, emotions or negative attachments." Vanessa could really use a stone like this, as she needs help purifying her mind and life of negativity and instability. OUT OF WATER, FIRE, EARTH, AND AIR, WHICH ELEMENT DO YOU THINK REPRESENTS YOUR CHARACTER BEST? As a Cancer, Vanessa's element is Water. "They are penetrating, critical and scrutinizing, seeking knowledge and understanding." As a Water element, Vanessa is very much a logical thinker which makes her a good detective. She's always seeking understanding of things, which can sometimes take a toll on her emotionally. WHAT COLOR DO YOU MOST STRONGLY ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR MUSE? Light blue mostly, it's the color of her police uniform but it's also the color that most closely aims for trustworthiness. Although Vanessa might not seem trustworthy at first, she ends up being trustworthy in the end by going against her father and fighting for the safety of innocents. IS THERE AN ANIMAL YOU FEEL FITS YOUR MUSE’S PERSONALITY BEST? I would say definitely a bunny, if only because of her Alter Ego, Vanny, who likes to wear a creepy bunny costume and mask. Bunnies typically tend to be pretty cute and harmless looking usually, and Vanessa is for the most part. Vanny? Not so much. ARE THERE ANY CHOICES YOUR CHARACTER MAKES SOLELY BECAUSE IT FITS THEIR AESTHETIC? Not much, to be honest. Her home definitely has a cozy sort of natural vibe and she tries to curate it that way, but that's about it. PICK ONE QUOTE THAT YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU THINK OF YOUR CHARACTER AND SHARE IT WITH US "I try to do what I was supposed to./I was supposed to be a good girl..." from her taped therapy sessions. It really speaks to her character, how she tried so hard to listen to her father and be good for him. But being good for him meant being an awful person, and eventually she had to fight back and say she wouldn't do it any longer.LIST OFF THE TOP THREE KINDS OF IMAGERY THAT COME TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF YOUR MUSE Bunnies, glitchy tvs and text, and Missing Posters.

Benny; Have you ever been suspended from school and/or work? Why?

"Both, don't recall the exact reasons... probably weed, drugs, weapons, fighting, coming in late a lot, telling people off. Once punched a teacher in the gut."

Is there a list of examples anywhere of the type of things that the trade council doesn't let be shipped into Hanjeong?

No, but I imagine most people use the black sand smugglers to get around the excessive wait times. The trade council really pushes for local trade and businesses.

Also, since they do have a monopoly on trade, they can essentially what outside literature and art the town gets. So, in theory, they might deem something like the Little Mermaid offensive and decide not to bring copies of the movie into town. Or, alternatively, they could deem it merfolk propaganda and decide not to allow it.

They definitely wouldn’t allow for weapons and the like. Plants might be another big regulated item since said plant could also easily be a nymph in disguise.

I am open to creating a list if that is something you are interested in. I am really open to your ideas though.

“What do you think you’re doing,” he states, his face stormy and automatically suspicious of the other's presence. After what happened last summer, with the fairy getting-- he refuses to even consider the thought, or the image-- no one could blame him for being overly protective of anyone within a hundred yards of where he knows Xiao Lanhua is currently located. Perhaps two hundred yards. No one will be able to harm her if they can’t get within a shooting distance of them with any kind of weapon, and he plans to keep it that way (whether or not she wants or is aware of his plan). Donfgang Qingcang continues, undeterred, “There’s no reason for you to be here. Leave.”

sylvie could feel her blood boiling and... well, she didn't know why. it was like something had snapped within her, bringing all that rage and hatred bubbling to the surface. she hadn't felt like this in a long time so what the hell had brought it on? she gripped her sword tightly as she stared at the destruction. london had gone to shit. crumbled to pieces. "i suggest you back off." she mused, flexing her fingers around the hilt. "i don't know what's going on with me. something... something is wrong. something inside me... daring me to hurt someone..."

why NauseAxe_404 loves your writing so much…

based on this silly tweet, I’m gonna use ‘Nick’ for this- for ease of writing (and for my poor poor hands.)

no pronouns but ‘you’- little post cuz I haven’t written in a while.- use of the in-game website: "Dumblr", no it's not a typo;-; Proshippers DNI

word count: 878

content warning: brief explanations of canon violence, creepy stalker-ish behavior (NOTHING SEXUAL ATTACHED), Nick being a weirdo honestly.

vvv that isn't my art, and this entire writing is a fanfic for a game " Monster x Mediator" made by HeadLocker! I really recommend playing the game or watching the gameplay, cuz it's really fantastic!

Story under cut :3

Nick’s in love with your writing…(if you already couldn’t tell), but it’s difficult for you to understand why.

Usually, when you'd open up your laptop, it was after a tough shift at your crap job and you just wanted to do something to fill in the time after dinner and before bed. It was always on the shorter side, 100 words each, and was normally just a quick and crappy self-insert fic to satisfy your creative urges from doing a boring-ass job all day. You never really thought your tiny one-shots would attract any attention, but the man you've been staying with proves otherwise.

"NauseAxe_404" is what he called himself, but you've just been calling him 'Nick' for now. He had been reading your old Dumblr blog for who knows how long, and he's taken a major interest in your little shitposts...So much, so that he had taken the time to print out every single one of your posts and personal information pinned to his room's walls. It's extremely creepy...but also sort of charming?

For the last few days or so, you've been held in Nick's hotel room, practically glued to a desk with a typewriter...slowly making your way through a 100-paged fic that he specifically requested of you. Though you technically could stand up and leave...you'd really prefer for your skull to stay in one piece...and not have a bullet put through your temple.

Nick has been staring at you almost the entire time...which only certified in your mind that he is not human. Every time you turn to see if he's still there...like an unmoving fortress, he always is. It's been a solid 8+ hours of you sitting there and writing...and your stomach starts to emit loud sounds of hunger. You pray he didn't hear that, and continue to type away at the dated machine. However, to your dismay, his deep voice chimes in.

"...What page are you on...?"

Nick asks, seemingly trying to speak quietly for you, but his naturally booming voice isn't giving you any favors.

"...uhm..."

You take a moment to review what you have done...it doesn't look like much but it feels like it took AGES to write out...

"About...10? It's not a-"

"That's wonderful, Superstar!"

He cuts you off just as you begin to speak.

Of course, he's going to be ecstatic. You can't fathom why he seems to be so hopelessly in love with whatever you slap on the paper. You're curious..so you begin to speak.

"...uhm...Nick...why do you..take interest in my writing?"

You softly speak, trying to be careful with your words...you can't afford to overstimulate this man.

For a chatty guy...Nick was oddly silent at the ask of this question…or at least for a few seconds.

“I was trying to find a way to ease the boredom and loneliness of this fucking hotel, so…huff…I joined Dumblr and started to search for writing…that was…huff….purposeful…and that could fix me..”

No way in hell your crackfics could change this man...He must've come out of the womb like that. (or...however the hell he was made..)

"...I came across your first post years ago..huff...and fell in love with the way you wrote your love interest....huff...I knew you were talking about me when I wrote all those comments~"

You never looked at comments due to embarrassment...and you honestly didn't think anyone would even care to comment in the first place.

"....you weren't responding to me...huff...so I might've found everything about you in the meantime...huff...just so I could notice you in a crowd...I always will~"

Okay, now it's getting creepy. You hope that by just turning back around and continuing to write maybe he'd shut up...You guess it's sorta your fault for striking up a conversation with the creep.

"All the other writers don't know shit about writing...huff...1k word counts...huff...long and complicated stories that don't make any fucking sense..."

There goes the rambles. You stop typing for a moment to process what the hell he just said. He either is really balls-deep into this fantasy of you being a perfect human...or he's just trying to fluff you up so you'll continue writing for him. He's really delusional, that's it. It's seriously hard to believe your crap was life-changing for Nick.

“Simplicity is the most important part…huff…not describing some stupid walk sequence for 3 sentences…huff…it’s a waste of space..”

"....maybe you just like simpler writing...?"

You softly reply, yet again praying that you didn't accidentally strike a chord with this guy. He stares you down, and even if you aren't looking back at him, you can still feel the burning of his eyes on the back of your head.

"That's possible."

Oh, it's highly probable. He gets so emotional over the tiniest bit of anything, so...He just doesn't need too many words to evoke a reaction...It checks out because you also like to write a straight-to-the-point sorta piece.

"but don't let your mind wander for...huff...too long...my superstar...you've got at least 90+ pages to go~"

Shit, he was right...time to get back to work.
