Honey's Horrible No Good Time in Warriors - A Masterlist

-(Previously named wc isekai au, now just HHT/Honey's Horrible Time for short)

Last Updated: 2023-09-07

Honey's Horrible Time is a warrior cats inspired story inspired by the isekai genre: stories in which someone dies and is reincarnated into another world. This post is to help wrangle all my posts as tumblr tags are rather inconsistent in trying to manage everything.

The story revolves around the death of a human after being hit by a car and is reincarnated into a fake Warriors arc. She is sent into the body of Honeypaw, the half-sister and bully of the arc's protagonist, Frostblaze. With the spirit of Honeypaw and a strange "Guide" from StarClan accompanying her, the former human-turned-cat, who names her Honey, must figure out how to navigate this new world...and survive her impending death.

Some key information:

Not all information will be explicitly told. Some of it will be told through puzzles or can be extrapolated through other information.

This is a work in progress! Plot points are subject to change and the story is still being developed.

There won't be any official comic or story written. I'll do mini comics and maybe some short stories but there are no plans to make it an official thang as of now.

All posts will be tagged under #honey's horrible time now

Do you have any info on what Radlynn is like in her monster mode? Does she still slip into it sometimes after the events?

Every time you ask me these questions just think of me seeing them as a happy little puppy dancing with joy because these questions really make me happy :)

Short answer: Yeah, she's still prone to slipping in it sometimes -- but it is rare. It seems to be a completely separate conscience and acts purely on emotional bursts, making it unpredictable and often dangerous.

Long answer:

Radlynn can go in and out of the "anthropomorphic" version of her radish-monster form at will, often doing so to take advantage of its size and abilities. However, one disadvantage, besides its exhausting size (8'2 ft), is its animalistic instincts. While not as bad as in the full beast form, these instincts make her act impulsively at times and overall weaken her reasoning.

So of course... the full beast form is a huge force to be reckoned with.

(This is an older drawing of it that I like better than the one on her current ref. It is slightly outdated)

She is almost twice her size in this form -- reaching 10 feet tall from the tip of her claws to the top of her head (leaves not included). As if going into the 8 foot anthropomorphic form isn't already exhausting enough, growing into this 10 foot form, not to mention the remainder of the body behind the front, is horribly disorienting -- perhaps even painful assuming she's wearing her blindfold. As a result, she will become very angry and even more unpredictable. With her large size and a lack of experience with it, she tends to be clumsy and accidentally destructive as a result. With its weight and usual strength combined, it is capable of breaking bones... which, one wrong move and that's sure to happen.

The weakest part of this creature is the roots around its neck, particularly the largest one, which is tucked beneath the outermost ring you see around her neck (and is poking out of the back.) Much like actual plants, it will use the tendrils to explore its surroundings in a more meaningful way, especially when blindfolded (though it has poor eyesight in general, something exclusive to this form.) However, this isn't its main form of observation. Much like Radley himself, it depends on a mix of gravi- and photo- tropism to 'see' ... which is something she has access to in all forms, giving them all the ability to navigate very efficiently while blindfolded. The only thing all forms have trouble with 'sight'-wise is color. This is ironic since she has inherited tritanopia (blue-yellow color blindness) from her biological father. Radley couldn't cure this when she cured her full blindness, nor is he aware of the fact that color blindness is even a thing.

It is purely instinct, pure feral animal. In this form, there is no Radlynn present. It's a humongous wild animal with hardly any control over its instinct. Thankfully, however, this means that it's vulnerable to being distracted. As a canine of sorts would, it constantly explores its surroundings when not occupied by a target. However, even when it's on the path of a target, throwing just about anything its way will cause it to stop and investigate. This is a powerful tool when it comes to cornering it.

Even with this being said, it does have a gentle side. While it can still be accidentally destructive, especially with its large, bulky tail, it shows affection to those Radlynn sees close, acting like an extremely large puppy of sorts. Its tail stalk and leaves are coated in soft fuzz, and it uses this as a sort of pillow when resting. However, it will pull people close with it and cuddle sometimes. :)

Hello father I am here requesting you tell me about 1 of your oc's. Tell me about them. Or Mamon (I think that's how you spell their name? It's been a few years). I want to hear about your ocs. Tell me about your ocs.

uh oh i gotta talk abt my ocs. that i barely think abt. uh oh ummm how about nikita from my apocalypse gang since the maemon has literally nothing going on lol. info under cut

heres some newer refs (months ago) i had for them when my pc was busted

and here are the 1st really old outdated refs (along w their 2 travel buddies)

the lore keeps changing based on what i think would make sense but the basic gist is that niki was formerly a soldier for a private military company (i dont really have a name for em lol), and everyone in it got augmented a lot and put through rigorous training,, the world everyone lives in is almost completely covered in snow bc of. something. nuclear holocaust? apocalypse? idrk yet but somns been wrong with the earth for a long time. bc of that soldiers go through a lot of horrible stuff and i think maybe they fight with other PMCs and stuff for limited resources kinda like in Fallout but thats less important!

niki did somn or other to get kicked out or escape the PMS, and he had to rough it in the cold on his own. electronics break down in extreme temperatures so his augmented leg(s? idk if its one or both rn) sometimes need repairs,, he s abt to stop in an old shack when he finds this doctor (angel, right side) and this teenager thats good with guns (sorrel, left side) in there, and they all decide to travel together for some reason or another. working that out too lmao

nikita's personality is kinda like a tired optimist, like they went through a lot of terrible stuff but they always try to find a way to make the best outta it. very huggable, ver loving. skilled in combat and big in heart... likes fishing and just wants to chill forever

i think. thats it for now

[florenceisfalling]

ok wait i gotta ask bc i got like,, a real tiny mushy pea brain but do u have some kind of masterpost for ur ocs and stuff? i wanna learn abt them but im unsure where to start kinda thing !!

hey anon sorry this took me forever! you do not have a tiny mushy pea brain, and even if you did peas are yummy. not that your brain is yummy, though i bet its scrumptious. we at florenceisfalling dot tumblr dot com advocate for cannibalism ^_^

anyway!

i am so honored u asked and again im sorry ive taken foreverrrrr. but the best place to start right now is the website im currently working on :D

the website includes trigger warnings for everything !!!

i am an insane person and have been doing it all via carrd pages even tho thats a horrible idea.

it's a work in progress still, but the most complicated one (love and war) is nearly done! i just need to add the raiders and farmers to the people tab, and draw icons. its best viewed on desktop! my favorite part is that on places, theres an actual map, and you can click on the labels to learn more about the place - i recommend following the trail from the cabin, it tells some of the story.

i also have kiddo! basically complete, except for the image refs (theyre just picrews for now).

however i still have yet to add the other stories so here's a tl;dr for those :"D

extra-normal: almost everyone has a third eye on their forehead which allows them to see into a physical manifestation of their mind called the "second sight." vonnie is a nurse who works in a hospital ward dedicated to third eye injuries, and is particularly attached to a patient named avalon who is blinded and trapped in her second sight. she also works with a few regular volunteers, a trio of young friends (or perhaps lovers???) - daisy, who has no third eye; august, who is blinded in one of his normal eyes and thus has hallucinations and seizures related to his second sight; and tripp, who believes she's able to see into other people's minds.

living dead: the plot on this one is still not really my focus right now. theres a cool tv head oc named jacob, though. and a currently unnamed mad scientist.

pressed flowers: currently remaking this whole concept so anything ive posted here before is pretty much outdated!! now the story is this: theodora and oliver were childhood sweethearts, until teddie washed up dead on the beach. oliver still saw her ghost for a few years, but now that he's grown up and finally healing and dating a new girl named jessica - teddie shows up again and reveals that she was actually murdered. and the killer is on the loose, hunting again.

the mermaid's blade: this one i'm not gonna go into because i'm literally gonna try and film a lot of it next semester so y'all will hopefully be seeing it in that format soon enough 👁👁

you can find all of my story and character tags, as well as my general oc tag on my navigation page! however ive been posting for a long time abt these guys and the stories have all changed a lot so like.. dont trust the posts the further you scroll back lol

ty again for asking sorry my shit is so longwinded and complicated >_< lemme know if u have any questions or want more info on a specific story!

[arcanetoymakerau]

Hi I'm finally out of my horrible art slump with all my personal owed and whatnot could I grab the ref of TM! Viktor for fanarts? :3

YES! ❤️❤️❤️ I promise I will do an actual turn around reference sheet, meanwhile you can use these for reference:

Just Mr. Fish is a tad bit outdated (their tail is longer and they have magical fins now) but Viktor's designs are the definitive ones.

cobaltsoul replied to your post: all the heads of asl club are sophomores and...

ooo you’re studying asl? any good tips/refs?

yeah!! it’s something I’ve wanted to do for like a decade and now I’m finally doing it

obvious disclaimer: I’m clearly not an authority on any of this, I’m just a relatively new student

so taking a class in person is always gonna be better than studying online-- if possible, check to see if there’s a club near you, or if your local community college has classes! there are a lot of things grammar-wise that a person can explain to you better than a website, or answering really specific questions, or tweaking your hand shapes, etc. I didn’t put off learning asl specifically because I was looking for an in-person class I could take, but the stars sort of aligned and people at my school decided they wanted to start a club, so they did. I know that that’s not always feasible, but luckily there are a whole bunch of asl resources online. there are two that the people at my school really recommend but I can only remember one of them right now slkhglkgd I beliebe it’s called signing savvy? I’m not sure how great they are with grammar but if I recall correctly they’re a pretty good dictionary. signschool.com is pretty good in that after they show you a sign they turn on your webcam so you can watch yourself do it but I can’t really vouch for how accurate it is bc I’ve only used it like twice glshdslkg

do not go buy a big book of signs from barnes and noble. you cannot learn asl from pictures in a book-- aside from motion being a big part of sign that’s really difficult to convey in print, most of them are horribly outdated, bc asl (and most other sign languages!) is constantly evolving

if you can or want to, you could try to find some Deaf meetups around you (like at a coffee shop or something). I’m sure if you show up and are polite and respectful people will be eager to help you learn. like all languages, the best way (and the scariest way, imo sgdlkgh) to learn is to interact with Deaf/deaf/hoh people, and don’t be afraid to mess up!

slhkdlsdflskg I hope this helped!! feel free 2 message me if you wanna keep talking abt it

“I’ll take you on anytime.”

“Can you apply the penal code to demons?”

“SWIFT AS LIGHTING!”

“REMEMBER IT!”

“I’m the same!?”

“Hm…. Found you!”

“What is this feeling!?”

“It’s okay… you can stop suffering.”

“Joker….. It’s growing?!”

“Let’s think positively!”

“Persona, persona. Call out your persona!”

“Well they say women are demons. Let’s beat some sense into you!”

“I warned you that something horrible will happen. hehehehe…”

“Sorry buddy, but I’m not here.”

“I’ll listen to you… if I feel like it.”

“Understand because there is no point in living.”

“Cry, that there is no answer.”

“Where there is darkness, there are shadows.”

“I see. Well then, I will bring you to your knees again!”

“Young lad, I leave the woman to you.”

“You, over there! You said curses were outdated! I’ve been hated and driven out by humans like you!”

“Such sorrowful eyes….”

“Heh.. heh… Don’t think you’ve won! The fear has spread!”

“The joker won’t die!”

“I’ll tell your fortune.”

“Rare, indeed.”

“Hmm… how’s this?”

“It’s a waste to keep this under wraps.”

“Expressing pleasure and pain in my dance.”

“BRING ME BACK A HUNK OF A MAN!”

“I’ll take on one of them.”

“We haven’t lost yet!”

“Look out!”

“Uuugh, I can’t take it anymore!”

“Hehehe, you’re not supposed to doge it!”

“You don’t have to suffer anymore… we’ll put you out of your misery.”

“I understand.”

“Well then I ask the paradox to be my opponent.”

“Try picking on someone your own size…. How about me?!”

“I won’t turn my back again, on the sin I committed nor on myself!”

“Who are you, to awaken me, from my slumber?”

“No can do.”

“There’s just one more thing I need to do. I just have to kill your head honcho!”

“To be pitied by you again…. Light has it’s role, shadows have their role. That’s just how it is.”

“How dare you! How dare you!? With his face, that is unforgivable!”

“My blood is about to boil over too, looks like I won’t be able to look in a mirror for a long time!”

“I’ll make you remember! If this guy doesn’t eat you, come to the sky museum! KYAHAHAHA!”

changing room

((this idea occurred in a chat and i, currently, am dying ♥♥♥ this takes place around the time of flipped ep 4, ie, when victor is trying to nail his program music for his FS. see rivalry for a lead-in! ♥))

summary: Victor groans. Yuuri Katsuki: Unexpected Fashion Disaster.

He has to amend this travesty. word count: 1.4k rating: g ✮read on ao3 | ✮rev au fics | ✮rev au art →my personal blog | →em’s art blog!

Victor looks up from his book to glance up at his new coach. Yuuri is sitting on the ground, rubbing Yukachin’s belly, and cooing to the big fluffball.

This is the fourth day that Yuuri’s pulled a turtleneck out of the drawer in Victor’s dresser. The color scheme of the man’s clothing is generally pretty muted - lots of gray, blue, and black; maybe red accents in splashes. Victor’s seen his coach in jerseys, turtlenecks, oversized sweaters, and huge coats.

Now that they’ve been living together for a couple of months, Victor realizes that, regardless of Yuuri’s infrequent shopping trips for a few more outfits, this is just the older man’s preference.

It makes him groan. Yuuri Katsuki: Unexpected Fashion Disaster.

He has to amend this travesty.

“Yuuri,” Victor starts, hating the fact that his voice comes out a little croaky from disuse. “Don’t you have anything...else to wear?”

The older man peers over the top of his glasses, and honestly, if Victor weren’t actively trying to repress his urge to sit beside Yuuri and poke his cheeks, he’d scream. “Mm. Are my clothes weird?”

“They are outdated and frumpy,” Victor bluntly replies and Yuuri yelps, withdrawing into himself. “Let’s go shopping!”

Yuuri pouts as he pushes himself away from the floor, standing with his hands on his hips. “Are they really that bad?”

Victor, who had grown up used to posters and images of Yuuri in regal colors and clinging fabric, is now glancing up and down at his idol’s clothes. His neck is covered by a baby-blue fabric and the track pants are unflattering on Yuuri’s curvy hips.

Everything he’s wearing is two sizes too big, and Victor sighs. “Come on. I’ll pick out something nice for you to wear!”

“Where will I wear it?” Yuuri asks, fumbling a bit as Victor takes his hand, pats Yukachin on the head, and hurries to grab his keys and wallet. “Victor!”

“Anywhere you want.” Victor beams.

If they ever go out for dinner, or, heaven forbid, a date, Yuuri will look fantastic across from him at the table. Victor is a master thrift shopper, but this isn’t the day for that. Really successful thrifting takes time and effort. Yuuri has shown himself to have no patience for shopping if he’s not buying groceries, so instead, they’re going to some of his favorite stores.

//

There are several unsuccessful outfit trials before Yuuri tiredly grumbles about grabbing something to eat. Victor gets both of them roasted potatoes from a street vendor and they nibble for a few minutes before continuing the journey. After Victor’s usual routes are expended, he decides to head for a boutique store that catches his eye, especially with so many floral patterns featured in the window.

Yuuri pinches the bridge of his nose and stifles a yawn as Victor slinks an arm over his coach’s shoulder. “How about that place?” Some of the clothes on display look a bit risqué and Yuuri colors, about to shake his head, but Victor leers. “C’mon, you could at least try a few things on. You’ve worn skimpier things for competitions.”

“Th-That’s different!” The older man scowls at Victor. “I can put on a persona on the ice. It’s just a dance, essentially. I can’t just...walk out on the street in some of that stuff.”

“Why not?” Victor shrugs shamelessly and Yuuri gapes at the taller man. “My rule is, do what you want and let other people talk. At least they’re talking about you, right?”

I will never understand this mentality, Yuuri thinks to himself, surprised to find that he’s been tugged into the store.

Once the two men are inside, Victor speaks rapid-fire Russian with the sales clerk and comes up with three well-crafted outfits, all in semi-neutral colors. Yuuri glances at the details and flushes, narrowing his eyes at his innocent-looking pupil and the woman giggling that has all the clothes carefully balanced on her arms.

After sorting through pants and shirts, Yuuri emerges from the dressing room in a showstopper, hair slightly mussed because of all the clothing changes. Victor’s mouth falls open at the sight of the shorter man standing tiredly, eyes slightly red, hands resting at his sides.

Yuuri looks like a runway model, dressed in such crisp lines. He puts his glasses on in a slow motion, turns around to nervously inspect his backside as best he can, and asks, “You don’t think these pants are too tight?”

Victor’s blue eyes are glued to every cling of the matte black jeans. The button-down that Yuuri has tucked into it has sheer lace around the cut of Yuuri’s shoulders makes him swallow dryly. It has flowers incorporated into the peekaboo part of the shirt. His coach looks. He looks...

“Yuuri, you look amazing,” Victor breathlessly comments, clutching his chest, aware that his pulse must be racing out of control. Yuuri snorts and it makes his lips fall just a bit. “It’s true! You really, really do. It’s borderline illegal.”

At that, the older man looks down at the floor and puts his thumbs in the pockets. “Well, these don’t feel too bad, honestly. Kinda stretchy. I could go for this outfit.”

Victor’s back goes ramrod straight, nodding his head five times quickly. “Yeah, yeah, yeah!! I’ll totally buy it myself, just so you can wear clothes that I got you.” Yuuri’s still blushing a bit, and that makes Victor smirk. “Kinda cool, huh?”

“Oh, shut it,” Yuuri says, squinting at the price tags and pursing his lips. “I can at least go half, these are expensive.” When he looks up, Victor has already dashed off. “Victor?”

“Too late,” Victor replies softly, handing the clerk his credit card and sticking his left leg up in jittery excitement.

Yuuri snorts at his antics, watching as Victor gestures wildly and a woman comes up to him to clip off the tags so that he can just wear the outfit out of the store.

//

Yuuri is already quite well-known in St. Petersburg. He’s a handsome foreigner and a figure skater, besides. A lot of people in this town are dialed into the skating scene, and, well, Yuuri stands out.

Now, Victor is hovering within Yuuri’s general bubble, trying to give off a vibe that his coach isn’t available for courting. Women are staring at him openly and Yuuri himself is walking awkwardly, still trying to get used to the feeling of his clothes. With such nice clothing on, Yuuri needs to get new shoes - Victor insists - so they stop into a leather goods store and Victor buys him shiny loafers.

By the time they slump back into the apartment to feed Yuka and let her take care of her business, Yuuri is ready to peel himself out of his clothes, but Victor insists on taking a few selfies before the outfit is retired for the day.

Once Yuuri finally puts his sweatpants on and a comfy t-shirt, Victor smiles. “Thanks for playing along with me. I know it was hard.”

Yuuri adjusts his position on the couch, yawning as he toys with his phone, smiling softly as his bangs fully fall out his gelled style. “It wasn’t too bad, actually. I just don’t know how I’m going to wash that and keep it looking nice. Definitely can’t pick up any more weight and keep wearing that.”

“That was absolutely incredible Yuuri - you could pull something that wonderful off no matter what size you were,” Victor insists and Yuuri slumps further into the couch. “I had a great time. Thanks.”

Yuuri waves at his student with a tired smile. “Yeah. Same here. G’night, Victor.”

Victor picks up his phone and Yukachin pads around Yuuri for a while before following Victor back to the bedroom. The younger man gives his coach a longing look before whispering back, “G’night,” and heading to his bed.

When he crawls under the covers, absently scratching Yuka’s chin, he flicks through his photos and lingers all of Yuuri’s tender expressions, paying special attention to the soft look Yuuri gives him while they’re standing in the kitchen.

It’s so horribly domestic, and Victor hates that he wants more.

He’s a greedy man, and Yuuri is so beautiful he could cry.

He makes it a goal to expand Yuuri’s wardrobe so dramatically that all of his coach’s clothes don’t just fit in one drawer.

fun fact, yuuri’s outfit is from this ref - do with that what you will. thanks for reading! ♥

Alexis Sanchez appeared to have secured Arsenal 3 issues, most effective to be denied by way of a overdue penalty, transformed by way of Rodriguez.

The Chilean discovered the online from a sweetly struck free-kick which discovered it’s method beneath the wall and previous Ben Foster.

Up till that time, the Gunners have been the aspect maximum worthy of taking the spoils, however in the end, it was once a long way from their best show.

Former Arsenal guy Kieran Gibbs got here again to hang-out his outdated aspect, as his move struck the arm of Chambers throughout the field.

The talk comes from the placement of the 22-year-old’s arm, which gave the impression to now not be in an unnatural place.

The overdue equaliser prices Arsenal a large 3 issues, permitting North London opposite numbers Tottenham the risk to transport two issues transparent with a win on Tuesday over Swansea.

Social media react

Outdated Trafford no penalty. Hawthorns penalty. Laborious to know loss of consistency some of the refs…

Now not a penalty in one million years. #WBA #AFC

Penalty determination obviously a shame, however the larger drawback was once one of these deficient efficiency towards a staff in 20th position. Nowhere close to excellent sufficient

— REDaction Gooners (@REDactionAFC) December 31, 2017

Essentially the most telling a part of that penalty determination was once when Mike Dean mimed what he noticed together with his elbow raised up by way of the aspect of his head. Ridiculous. http://pic.twitter.com/cU4RsWtzUk

Gibbs didn’t even attraction . It’s corrupt . All about him. So what he’s announcing is kick the ball at any person’s arm and it’s a penalty . Must be investigated

— Tim Hardwicke (@Arselona) December 31, 2017

Watford. Guy Town. West Brom. Stoke.

Terribling penalty selections towards Arsenal. Shambles.

I'm overly tired. Yeah, that's it.

My brother's really Sephiroth, and Eli was adopted by a Wyvern.

Me: i'm considering chopping all of my brother's hair off and giving him a real reason to go into seclusion.

Ray: because that would totally be the end of the world, yes ma'am

I'M BALD

OH GOD

THEY WERE RIGHT

2012 REALLY IS THE APOCALYPSE

nevermind that it is 2011 we can speed the calendar up a bit

Me: lmao. yet another reason i need to try and get mom to buy me a digital camera for my birthday this year. *cackle* 'please mom, i have to document his fall into madness!'

Ray: and then, Earth's version of Sephiroth arises

without the hair, of course

Me: *dies* i'd better get my katana back from him beforehand, then. it's not as long as Masamune, but it's still sharp.

Ray: better watch out, Amy

he'll be calling down a meteor soon

...uh oh

he's the cause of all the earthquakes, isn't he

it's already begun

Me: ....i had not considered this. i must get my friends and minions to safety! but first, we'll need to finish that gummi ship in the garage i've been making the Chip and Dale illusions work on. >_>

Ray: horde all your Gummi candies

build, build, build!

so that you can retreeeeeat!

Me: the cheap ass Safeway version of gummi worms work especially well, i've found. too tough to chew on, might as well use 'em for structure.

Ray: excellent, you'll be finished in no time!

Me: and then i can shove in seven- no eight cats, need to bring Oblivion- ooh, and Saix, so nine - and then i can pick up you, Robin, Gin, the rest of my minions...

Ray: and then we can all fly out into the sunset!

...but to where will we go

I don't think anyone ever gets that far

Me: hunting for real life keyblade masters? >>

Ray: sounds like a plan~

Me: and the Jalen plushie gets to steer.

Ray: and then we get horribly, horribly lost.

maps? what are those?!

Me: yes, we don't need those outdated pieces of paper....we've got mystical gps!

Ray: that we do!

oh, and world shifts.

can't forget the world shifts.

Me: well, variety is good. we'll make everyone an inflatable house that fits in a backpack that they keep with them all the time, and no problem! except for the giant dragon/heartless/hydra that's three seconds away from eating you while you're setting it up.

Ray: lol yeah

wow world shift already??

let me set up my portable house before a storm hits!

HEY THERE WYVERN DON'T TEAR UP MY INFLATABLE HOUSE

OH GOD DON'T COME AFTER ME

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Me: *dies* that. would be a problem. i'm picturing you running away with flailing arms as the wyvern gives chase. hysterical. ......i need to do that to Eli sometime.

Ray: that's exactly how it would work out, too

maybe the wyvern catches him

and carries him off to its nest

"I will raise it as if it were my own! >:|b"

Me:: *snickerdie* Eli all 'WTF how do i get DOWN from here'. or he'd make friends because he's his mother's son, and come home with it while everyone is freaking out. 'look, i made a friend! i named him Yen Sid!'

Ray: lmao he would totes do that

that would be freaking awesome

Ray would be so proud

Me: lmao. hey, he's heard about the behemoth deal. he wants to impress her with something just as cool, but hopefully not something that'll fry him.

Ray: fff

Ray is a danger to her pupils just from her past

that's... great XD

Me: >__> hey, at least the kid doesn't idolize Rak.

Ray: so true XD he'd be disowned as a student

Me: Eli: 'but....but....aunt Raaaaaayyyyy....i only wanted to see how he does things, i wasn't gonna learn any of 'em!' *cue Puppy Eyes of Doom*

Ray: Seeing how he does things is learning how to do them. /frown

Me: Eli: *scuffs shoe, pouts some more* i love you bestest of all?

Ray: /GLOWER OF DOOM

Me: Eli: *wilts, then brightens* i got you something! *digs around in his pocket and pulls out a flattened gummi bear* here!

and Eli would have to introduce his Yen Sid to THE Yen Sid...

Ray: ...that would be horrible XD

Me: i'm kinda imagining Yen Sid wondering if anyone's actually RAISING this boy, or if the refs are just letting him run wild for their own amusement.

Ray: he ought to know Ray enough by now to know that she's doing the latter C:

Me: lol. it's so much more fun! weekend sleepovers at Ray's house, full of 'do whatever you want as long as it doesn't kill the house'. since, you know, he's on a leash for his actual training.

Ray: exactly~
