#back at it again with dad enki

[dungeoncrawlurz]

Average LIBERAL family

[lees-brainrotzone]

what is the funger cast like in the waffle house Au? are the just the weird polycule that comes in every so often or are they the group of stoners who all work at the same place?

I'm assuming you're talking about the f&h1 cast, and if I'm wrong correct me in the comments or in another ask and I'll talk about them, I love any excuse to yap LMAOOO

anyways, I like to think they're all stoners in a weird ass polycule LMAOOOO like enki and rag are pretty close and probably are living together, cahara is living with celeste and their child and they adopted the girl a couple of years back, d'arce probably also lives with them after she got over her crush on le'garde and realized these other people she's bonded with care about her way more than he ever did and yeah,,, the girl and Cahara and Celeste's child get two moms, two dads, a dog and an enki LMAOOO

so yeah like, Enki and Rag live together and probably only live a couple of miles from Cahara, Celeste, D'arce, and the kids. Moonless is obviously with Rag and Enki.

also I could be like,,, super funny and make Enki and Samarie related in this au, hell, what if I made Enki her legal guardian, what then huh? antics ensue! Samarie just got done putting her hand in the fryer again and Pav reluctantly is calling the only number listed on her emergency contact form, which is Enki. Enki and Pav can't stand each other. Pav is holding the bandaged hand of Samarie, stomping his way to the front with her like a pissed off parent with their child in a grocery store, passes her off to Enki and says to him with gritted teeth to take her home.

If it wasn't for Samarie working there Pav probably would have had Enki straight up banned from the place, even though Enki almost never goes there unless it's Samarie related or unless it's the only thing open in a 20 mile radius, which has happened before. Though one person that is fuckin banned is Le'Garde. If Pav sees Le'Garde it is on sight, no hesitation, he's taking his ass back to the dumpster and throwing him in it, let the over grown rats take care of him. This is also the only time you can get the entire staff to agree with Pav on something, no one is opposed to Le'Garde being banned and they're surprised that Pav somehow managed to make it happen considering they work at a damn waffle house. He doesn't tell them, it's funnier to let them guess, let Daan get a headache from all of Karin's crazy theories.

Some Fear and Hunger headcanons and plot for a future fanfic I'm going to write :p

TW GORE, MENTIONS OF DEATH, SA AND VIOLENCE. (just in case something is mentioned)

ALSO SPOILERS FOR FEAR AND HUNGER 1

(you have been warned)

This is my first post ever in tumblr, i know the concept of mixing plot of a future fanfic and headcanons is weird, and the post got out of hand and got too long, anyway i hope you guys enjoy it :D

Ok so this is how I want everything to happen in my happy world of sunshine and lollipops. This is basically a to-be fanfic mixed with headcanons.

Everyones S endings come true and Rag, the Girl, Cahara and Celeste live happily with Moonless being the best girl ever.

+ The main party will consist in Cahara, Ragnvaldr, The Girl and Moonless.

+ At first Rag frees The Girl and, of course, Cahara ends up stealing from Rag and running away. (which makes our barbarian very mad and loses a little bit of what is left of faith in humanity)

+ Enki is an asshole and thinks he is just some dumb barbarian who probably doesn`t even know how to read (he does)

+ Ragnvaldr tames Moonles (best girl ever) and gives the doll and the dagger to our poor child to at least defend herself.

+ Even though the girl doesn`t speak, little by little begins trusting this red haired giant we all love and you could see the brightest smile when he gives her the doll :""")

+ Him teaching her how to properly handle the dagger and where to stab and cut a bigger enemy.

+ Rag having been a dad he will assure this girl gets the life she deserves outside of this damned dungeon, even if it means he won`t eat (or if he has to eat the c0rpses of his enemies behind her back in order to survive)

+ When Rag and Cahara see each other again, Rag is very weak and badly injured, but Cahara helps him come out of the battle and takes him to a safer space and cure his injuries (with the blue vials that he stole)

-¿Are those MY blue vials?-

*silence*

-Yeah-

*silence*

-¡Hurry up and drink it before you bleed out!-

+Rag is somewhat still mad at him but at least he is thankful he saved him. So lets him join :D

+With the time they learn more about each other and realice they are just trying to survive in a cruel world and an awful situation.

+ In the times they rest and open a rare bottle of ale or whiskey the conversation ends up in them telling each other their background and origins.

+ Even Cahara tears up a little bit when our favourite Oldegardian tells him about his late wife and child.

+Cahara just cracks a lot of jokes to kind of light up the ambience and sings and dances with the girl trying to cheer her up when something makes her upset or is very afraid.

+ Moonless is the best girl ever and protects the child a lot and sleeps next to her to warm her up.

+ And licks her face if she cries making her giggle :")

+At some point in the story we find D'arce and joins their quest in finding Le'Garde.

+Find the Cube of the Depths and kill the entire Cavedweller village on the way out

+ D'arce doesn't like Cahara's jokes and thinks he needs All-Merr (Jesus)

+When they find him, he is already dead.

+ Ragnvaldr is very glad that the man who slaughtered his entire village died tortured in this hell they call dungeon.

+ Cahara panicks a little, but doesnt show it in the moment (i will explain)

+ D'arce just goes on crying and mourning her capitain and ends up in a nasty argument with Ragnvaldr about the man.

+ The mercenary, knowing how Rag can go berserk and how this will end up very bad when D'arce pulls out her sword, he drags Rag out and they just run away with Moony and The Girl.

+ In a safe place to hide (probably the stairs leading up to level 3), its the first time Rag sees Cahara cry and panick (the boy probably has an anxiety attack) because now what? His mission failed.

+ How will the people believe Le'Garde was already dead? How will he pay for the freedom of his wife? Where will he get the money to feed his child-to-be? Will he even get out of this alive or in one piece?

+ Rag helps him calm down assuring him they will get something valuable out of this hell of a place.

+ They rethink what are they going to do. Rag is a bit lost too, because now that Le'Garde is dead, what now. He doesn't has a house to go back, or a wife like the mercenary, not even a town.

+Well, he makes a promise to wipe all of the darkness out of this place, or at least as much as he can.

+Cahara wants to find something valuable so he doesn't go back home empty handed.

+ They get lost a few times in the dungeon, because let's be real, being in complete darkness in those laberynthic corridors must be very frustrating and confusing. Even more if they all look similar.

+ They kill Isayah. Funny story, Cahara tries to steal the maps but end up in a fight with him. (Oh shit, here we go again.)

+On their way following the map they wipe all the bosses out, some of them even without the help of Cahara, because Ragnvaldr just goes berserk with hatred.

+ Arrival to the City of The Gods, Mahavre!

+ Pause at the Tower of The Endless, where Cahara dreams of the days before he left to the Dungeon. At the end of the dream Nilvan visits him and tells him to carry her child (The girl) to the God of the Depths in exchange of her endless soul.

+The mercenary agrees, taking her soul and waking up with the stone in one of his hands. But lies.

+He won't allow the Gods their way with this poor girl who only has met darkness. She deserves something better than being sacrificed or worse things.

+Ragnvaldr dreams of the fatidic day he found his village reduced to ashes and had to bury his wife and son and wakes up crying :""(

+ Moonless tries to give him some comfort and the girl lends him her doll in an attempt to make him feel better and gives him a big big hug.

+ After fighting the fellowship, Cahara is tempted to sit on the golden throne, but snaps out of reality when Rag calls him out.

+ Both of them start filling their bags with everything that shines and even break a wall of the palace taking golden bricks and ornaments. It's pure gold, it can be sold and melted.

+ They find the crown of the treasure maps and having nothing else to kill in the dungeon, they rush out of that place as fast as they can.

I will make a part 2, don't worry, it has gotten very long.

Travis Mystreet Rewrite:

Look y'all I cannot believe the grip Travis has on my heart. He is grabbing on with an inescapable grip.

MCD Rewrite Travis made me super invested in Mystreet Rewrite Travis. Basically he's MCD Travis except aged down and kept in stasis for a good few years. Demon warlock shenanigans. he's awakened in modern day for evil plan reasons except one of the imps under demon warlock develops like, a soul, and rescues him. (Psst! He's Terry!) They move a lot until they show up at Phoenix Drop and Travis throws a fit when his dad wants to move again so they stay.

Travis is allergic to magic, it makes him sick. Eventually he gets his memories back and also finds out that he's Enki! Like the actual Enki not just reincarnated. Irene was immortal, and that sucked, but sike, it turns out Enki has been keeping his memories every reincarnation cycle and it's made him kind of insane!! He wasn't in love with Irene, just obsessed with her.

Travis has a very heavy adjustment period after this.

(also Hyria finds out his identity when brainstorming solutions to Aaron's curse with Travis in the room and Travis starts distractedly discussing experienced magic theory while watching TV like a magical genius idiot.)

If our muses have a relationship together (platonic, familial, romantic, sexual, enemies, rivals, etc.), what do your other muses think about us? // If all your muses could play a musical instrument, which instrument would each of them play? // Which of your muse(s) is your complete opposite? (x)

[ UNTITLED MULTI ASKS ; ACCEPTING ]

if our muses have a relationship together (platonic, familial, romantic, sexual, enemies, rivals, etc.), what do your other muses think about us?

[ for now i think the only muses who have a well-enstablished relationship, in both cases platonic, are my P and Venigni with your P fanmdsf so. from the pov of my other LoP muses at the hotel, i think that the one w venigni was the "easiest" to get used to it, at least when it came to accepting their weird friendship and venigni's 'dadness', especially since a lot of them know about his Tragic Backstory nobody's surprised to see him become so fatherly, so quickly getting used to the experiments on the back of the hotel, on the other hand, is still a work in progress. Eugénie is very interested, while Antonia would love if they avoided burning her flowers down again FNSDM

as for the double puppets situation. well. that's odd, right? that's very odd. I do think that ironically enough the one person who isn't used to it yet, in this case, is Eugénie! Venigni probably is more curious than confused, Antonia accepted that it's either yet another sign that geppetto or Krat itself is getting weirder, but Eugénie just. sits there. watches them bicker and fight and try to climb the hotel's Stargazer for no reason, and generally mixing them up

dare i say? lowkey older sibiling coded. candace w phineas and ferb kind of relationship going on w them lmao

....and then we'll see if Something happens w karl and bonnie idk :^) ]

going under read more bc im struck with Ramblingitis today apparently lmao

If all your muses could play a musical instrument, which instrument would each of them play?

[ ALL OF THEM. OOF. OKAY. going with the canons, Karl plays the violin and both Pinocchio and Antonia play the piano, and so far so good. now let's see, divided from fandoms ig afnsdg

Amalia would probably play some sort of wooden instruments, likely a flute. likely a pan flute. I can't really see Aloe play anything honestly, but if I have to imagine him w an instrument I'm biased and my thought immediately goes for the violin for him too, specifically bc of this taunt of medic tf2 who's. lowkey one of his biggest inspirations

Bendy would play anything the scene wants him to play, really. the piano? the violin? the drums? the fiddle the maracas the church's organ? the answer is yes. i do think the fiddle is by far the best choice for him tho

Micolash would play something with strings. to me. i know it might sound odd but he's harp-coded imo.

Skinboy would play the piano but in a "captain hook in shrek 2" kinda way. to me. bc funny

Dismas is another guy I really can't see pick up an instrument, like. at all. Out of them all I do see him tinkering with a bass, or once again something small with strings he could bring around during camping, but I don't think he'd like it. contrary to Zazel who's soooo percussion coded let her smash a big bass drum

Laure with a lute. it would be funny. Laure lute Laure lute Laure lute Laure l and yea the Queen plays the piano. To me. Specifically a fortepiano

the Lady wouldn't gaf about instruments just give her a triangle and she's going to be happy. and throw it at people. like i really tried to think about it but she has better things to do </3

do I wanna say Cahara plays some old-timey string instrument again? I'd say the closest thing to a guitar you can pick, he can probably play it; Enki was probably taught to play some instruments in case they were necessary for some spells, but never picked them up again afterwards. Anyway he's cello coded

okay here we go someone give Eugénie a violin I think she'd have fun. And a guitar to Bonnie. I wanna say electric guitar that'd be funny. and I bet you're thinking Venigni is a piano or a cello-- WRONG he's percussion coded to me. Give him some drums and let him let loose he'd have so much fun

166 was probably taught to play some instruments while in the convent, but even if she occasionally played the organ during masses I do see her play the flute much more, and it fits her much better. on the contrary Shaw isn't allowed anymore to play the drums after. The Incidents. it's okay bc he's cymbals coded to me instead tho

...this sure took a while to reply fnsdg ]

Which of your muse(s) is your complete opposite?

[ EASY SCP-166 and Zazel. i could pick the Skintaker and Karl as well instead of our Ringleader, but they have a whole sad backstory going on. 166 is a good Christian girl who's also the daughter of the Goddess of Nature, while Zazel is some fucked up girlie who experimented on herself to become half-eldritch being and holds epic tournament where people fight to the death

alternatively 166 and Micolash but he didn't recieve godhood yet so no matter how many people he sacrificed to enter the Nightmare he's still a step lower to literally pinkie pie if she had a gun ]

Reflecting on 2022

Good Mornin'! I'm sitting here with my morning coffee with New Years Eve finally arriving on my side of the world. There are aspects of 2023 I am hugely looking forward to and other things that are making me dread it. We have a lot going on over on my side of the world, and I apologize if New Years comes with an aura of sadness to it. Always will for personal family reasons. Looking back, looking forward.... two sides of the coin.

But let’s focus on just the one, at the moment. Yes? 

Things that make me happy:

2022 Artwork!!

This commission of Gordon and Enki

This commission of my DnD character Zephyr and another of my girl Cascade.

This interpretation of chicken!dad, and this one of chicken!dad and chicken!uncle

Pirate-y Tracys

2022 Gifted/inspired works

This hilarious story by @thedryswan!! I was cackling so hard but won't ruin the surprise for you. :)

This series by @godsliltippy over shared music interests.

This one shot by @the-lady-razorsharp that makes me cry like a baby every time. And the other one. She knows which one. It still means the world <3.

This one by @katblu42 for the olympics!AU and the rest of the Olympics AUs which can be found here.

 My TAGSS from 2021 continued into 2022 and Nutty's kind interpretation of Enki and more of Virgil knitting. Thanks for letting me borrow!! @gumnut-logic

The real life gifts. 🐓🐬💚 

The real life friends. 

Things of my own I am proud of: There are times this is very easy. And other times when I hate all of it. I'll let you guess which New Years brings out.

CRAFTWORKS: This doily hits all of my favorites. Texture, shades of blue, and subtle fandom reference.

My two multi-chap AUs of the year: Hold Fast and Tracy Seaside Orchard and Farm , both of which also had additional one shots and spin-offs added throughout the year

Directionless (oneshot prompt gift for @onereyofstarlight)

We Tried the World (oneshot TAGminibang for @lenle-g)

In Stitches (one-shot in short scenes)

I won’t have the pretty graphs like Bri did when she did her summary, but I can give some basic stats - with a margin for error for stories that overlap years and such. But according to AO3 - I wrote 132K words in 2022, across 19 works. I don’t need the stats to know my top characters were Virgil and Gordon, because to no one’s surprise I write FishTank. And my genres are gonna be AU, angst, feels, and lol this was a fluff prompt. :D

I am filled with an immense amount of gratefulness for all the engagement and for those that welcomed my silly ideas into your brainspaces. We have a lot of writers in Thunderfam - a lot of amazing writer’s and despite all that you decided to give my sailors and chickens and dolphins a try. <3 

In 2023 I think it may be time to step out of the AUs. I want my writing to feel approachable, and as much as I love these ideas, after awhile it might become old hat. We’ll see - they are also my playground and all three have so much still to explore. I also want to write some of the grand old BootScoot and Space Cadet. I like the Tracy boys, not just FishTank, and surprise! Earth & Sky was my first brotp, you know. 

And this particular year, I leaned a lot on @the-original-sineater  for my sanity checks so a huge thank you as well to Sin for being the first set of eyes on a lot of these this year. It is so appreciated and I am lucky to have you as a friend. 

Other Things

There is so much artwork that fills me with joy, and I know I will forget folks, so I won’t tag. But if you’ve posted artwork, this is geared towards you. I have 0 talent at drawing, so I am always amazed when I see ideas come to life in that way. I don’t know how we got so lucky to have so many talented folks sharing their art with us, but we do and major <3 for it. 

All of our writers. Again. I will forget folks, but I value all of our wonderful voices. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep up with commenting when spoons were low, even though I said I was going to do better. I will have to keep working on it. And same as above. We are so lucky to have the quantity and QUALITY of fics we do. 

To readers, commenters, kudos-givers - we see you, we love you. Thank you for all you do!

To the crafty folks - I love seeing your work, your WIPS, and talking about different techniques and inspirations. I hope we can keep it up in 2023! Just from 2022 alone, I learned Tunisian Crochet, and am about to finish my first garter stitch knit scarf. And this is from a life-long crocheter! You all are inspirations to me and I can’t even imagine what 2023 will bring. 

To the RP crowd - thanks for playing with my silly Gordon and giving him the space when I need to step back. It’s been so fun stepping into his flippers in this new way.

And finally, to friendships continued! It’s with @janetm74‘s encouragement I joined tumblr again, and I will never forget that back when I posted Scenes. I’ve only continued to get to know more of you, and though it’s only been my first FULL year in fandom (getting close to 2 total), there are new voices, new voices to me, and I get to learn more about this group of people everyday. My life is better with you all in it, even if we don’t interact everyday. 

Happy 2023 - at some point I need to watch Captain Scarlet so I can catch up with all of your cross-overs!!

Enki 

(story dump underneath)

First artwork of 2023, though technically this is still from last year. I began this just as a regular portrait, but it kinda ended having a similar vibe as the other color-coded ones I did for my OCs. I guess Enki's colour scheme is silver then. Or white. Both aren't akshually colours, I know. Enki isn' actually his real name, just something he picked because being an Edward Jackson is too generic, lol. His chosen name was taken from a God of the Mesopotamian pantheon (just like my other OC, Astarte, though that's actually her given name). Yeah, Sumerian and Akkadian mythology are recurring elements in my story. Enki hails from Texas USA, though in the Alternate Universe of my story which is set in the 2100s, the United States are no more and Texas became an independent country. It's a long story (and somewhat influenced by current real life happenings), but Texas independence came with a terrible civil war (and at a great cost). Enki and his people moved away to France when he was a child to evade being killed. His older brother started to work for a shady Technology company over in England and from there on things were never the same anymore. Eventually his brother would get entangled into a scandal (after witnessing somethign he wasn't ought to see) and arrested. Not shortly after he underwent the typical "reformation" program to recondition his supposedly criminal mind. That went pretty wrong according to the authorities. But instead of sending him back to his family (to be looked for and cared after) Enki's older brother was still kept in a facility somewhere in England. Even after too many inquiries, pleas and after threatening legal actions the authorities from Britannia would not return Enki's brother to his family, nor are they willing to give them any further information about his wherabouts. Enki would never see his beloved brother again. After the situation in Texas calmed down Enki moved back (while his family remained in Europe). He would soon lose them both as well. When his dad conducted investigations on the wherabouts of his eldest son he found information about how parts of "the Party" of Britannia were involved in very illegal activities that violated several human rights. Among them were experiments and research carried out on political prisoners such as his son. After this discovery Enki's parents would eventually "vanish" at the border between France and Germany during their vacation. Enki carries on despite the grief of loss almost destroying him. He relocates a few times to the various countries and city states that arose in the wake of the US collapse. In New York he eventually gets a job as an accountant at an IT firm that specializes in combat AI systems. That's were he learns about the "eternal kind" - half human-eldritch beings that can live for centuries. The owner of the firm is part of a group or cult who support and follow the leader of the Phonoi-halflings, a tribe that desended from cosmic beings called Phonoi by humans. This man reveals Enki the truth about the fate of his older brother and parents - that they were abused and used in anti-Phonoi research that the Britannians conducted with the help and aid of their government. And that the entities that carried them out were the Epsilon Defence organisation and Britannia Genesys Life Sciences (BGLS), a pharma company owned and led by the father of Loui Device. Enki swears to avenge his dead family and to kill all the people involved with the research. And because Loui was working for BGLS at that time Enki is also hellbent and fixated on murdering him.   Personally I'd call him the Visual Kei Texas Rager, because he is usually pissed off and full of RRRRAAAGE. His hair is bleached (he'd love to be as kewl as some halflings and have natural white hair) and his fave fashion style of choice is Visual Kei (the good kind from the 1990s). He changed his looks often so I maybe do an artwork of when he had a different hairstyle.

Any thoughts/HCs on MS Aphmau’s childhood?

..any on (MCD/MS) Travis’ ?

(I am so sorry, If I’m ever asking too much, just let me know)

You are not asking too much. I really enjoy answering your questions, having someone so invested in my ideas gives me a huge ego boost.

Aphmau’s MS childhood was actually pretty normal. Aside from the whole dad leaving and home school thing. When she was really young she really likes spending time with her dad, he used to buy her toys a lot and read to her every night, so him leaving was a pretty weird thing for her. She didn’t understand what happened but she knew something did and she didn’t like it. And then her and Sylvana moved to Scaleswind, away from her friends, so that Sylvana could lean on her parents a bit for emotional and financial help. They stayed there even after Sylvana got back onto her own feet, and Scaleswind became their home. Nothing big really happened in her life for a while, aside from the death of her grandparents, however when she was thirteen she had a meltdown at school and, whilst Sylvana didn’t know what caused it, she didn’t want to risk it happening again. So she took Aphmau out of school for a while and got a tutor to homeschool her instead (since, y’know, she’s a busy woman). During this time, as she did in canon, she starts getting really into video games and meets ‘fc’. She stops leaving the house at all so she can play video games with her friends, however it eventually does get lonely. And then she decides that she wants to go back to school. Sylvana agrees, decides to take her to Phoenix Drop because Zianna’s kids are there and they’re doing well, and then the PDH storyline starts.

Pretty normal childhood. Especially in comparison to Aaron’s.

As for Travis’ in MCD, it’s slightly more odd. I mean, he’s a demon…. It’s not going to be normal. He was the result of a trick played on Enki (his mother) and for a while she found it hard to really care for him. I mean, she was a decent person so she looked after him, but she didn’t really feel anything towards him for a while. And then she did. She slowly began to love her like any mother loves their child and spent a lot more time with him than she used to. Micheal was obviously still someone she had to deal with, but being around Travis gave her the energy to do longer spells, spend longer periods of time to gather ingredients for said spells, etc. So he was super handy. He was like her own little battery. I mean, okay, the grey fur, the animal ears, the weird eyes and the goat legs were really uncomfortable for her to look at, but she loved him anyway, y’know. But then Micheal found out about him. He figured he could use Travis as a way to hurt his mother, and to gain more power, so he made several attempts to take him. He was hardly able to walk but his mother decided to teach him how to fight off Micheal anyways. Spells, fighting techniques, the likes. And by the time he was 7, he could fend for himself, atleast long enough for his mother to find and protect him. But that was also the age he was when his mother died. Micheal had snuck into the village and begun slaughtering people. Enki put a stop to it by putting up a force field. It wouldn’t keep people from going up the mountain, but it would stop him from coming down. It would also be the last spell she ever cast. Travis didn’t know why his mother wasn’t returning home. So he went to find the people, to see if she was with them. But they saw what he was and they tried to kill him. He was small, and fast, and smart, so he managed to evade them, and then he retreated back into his little cabin in the woods. He fed himself, bathed himself, looked after himself the way he remembered his mother looking after him. this is technically where his childhood ended. He grew up to be able to look after himself, however I will continue because he is still a child. He observed the people, copied their fashion and their hobbies, learned their crafts so he could perform them himself. And he fought his father. By sunrise, he would be exhausted, most likely passed out in the snow covered in bruises and cuts. But these wounds would heal the moment he crossed the border to retreat home. He assumed his mother had intertwined another spell with the one that put up the invisible wall separating the world from his father, but he never quite figured out what spell it was. In the times he wasn’t getting himself hurt or copying the humans, he would learn. He learnt the names of all of the plants on the village, and he learnt how to make himself look human. He knew he couldn’t walk among them still, but it was a form he would rather have taken than the one he was born into. And, y’know, then he grew up, he became an adult. Still fighting, learning, trying to figure out the extent to what he could do. It wasn’t long after he grew up that he met the main cast, actually.

Ms Travis’ childhood is obviously different. He had a decent childhood with both of his parents for a few years. His dad seemed to be two different people sometimes (because he was) and his mother was pretty much perfect all the time. She was kind, but not a pushover, firm, but not strict, and she was extremely caring. However, she died under mysterious circumstances when he was seven, and he was hit pretty hard. They were always really close and to have her dead didn’t feel right. He was raised by his father from that point forward. He didn’t mind his father, and he was pretty open to accept Micheal (under the assumption that he was just a split personality of his father’s). Terry was a pretty decent dad. A lousy cook, I may say, but he was nice, though a slight pushover, firm, but could be convinced not to be, and care-less, completely stress free. Maybe not perfect, but he was fun, and that’s all Travis cared about at the time. He was also really supportive of Travis when he came out as trans, making sure to use all the right pronouns and the right name, correcting people when they got it wrong and often gaslighting people that Travis was born a boy because Micheal found it amusing to watch people question their own perception of reality.

So, Aphmau’s MS childhood? 👍

Travis’s MCD childhood? 👎

Travis’s MS childhood? 👍

To simplify.

Flower From Tiamat’s Fire: Salute to The Five, Part 2

A continuation of my previous post :)

~~~

“Pardon my interruption, but Lord Enki has arrived. It is time to take Laney to the square.”

Laney braced herself as she followed her family out of the room and down the hall. They could delay the moment no longer, it was time. She gripped the edges of her gown in case she almost tripped over the train, with Nikkal behind her guiding her with her hand on her back. Laney grinned at the thought of her mom’s comforting hand, and her father matching every step as they lead her to the door. It comforted her knowing she wouldn’t be alone, and her loved ones made the transition easier.

They stopped at the front doors of Kingu’s home: no, the family home. Laney’s chest puffed out as she nodded to her mom. Nikkal unlocked the doors and pushed them open, revealing the stoic, broad face of Enki. The most powerful and wisest of The Five, she gawked at the robes he wore. They were the same shade of blue as his hair, although laced with more jewels and a cape covering his shoulders. She wanted to run around, compliment him endlessly, but she knew better. She was no longer a kid.

“Lord Enki,” Nikkal pressed her fingers against her collarbone in salute. “We did not expect a personal visit.”

Enki smiled. “Well, I simply had to see the newest heir to the thrones of Tiamat. My, my, you look beautiful, Lady Laney.”

She copied her mother’s motion, but Enki dismissed her notion. She would be a new goddess, and between them, salutation was not needed.

“It is time, my water lily,” he held out his hand for her. She tensed, gritted her teeth with a gulp, and shakily interlaced her fingers in his. She had almost forgotten she was to ride with Enki, and not her family. In front of the house, two silver and gold carriages with winged horses awaited their go: one for her, and the other for her parents. Nikkal and Kingu smiled in assurance before Enki escorted her to the larger, jeweled carriage. A coachman opened the door for them, nodding politely.

As she climbed inside, Laney froze at the three people inside waiting for her. She wouldn’t be riding with her parents, but to her shock and confusion, Ethan and her grandparents were piled inside. Enki took a seat next to the coachman, and the clopping of hoofs lead them through Ur towards the Ziggurat.

“Oh my Lords!” Laney held her Uncle in her arms. “I thought…Enki…”

“He made special arrangements for you, Sprout,” Ethan stroked her cheek. “He didn’t want you to feel alone.”

“But Mom, Dad…”

“Already knew,” Laney’s grandmother spoke up. Her grandparents adorned themselves with clothing appropriate for the ceremony, her grandmother’s dress a velvety burgundy with golden sleeves. Lagash’s tunic were the colors of an Earth mage, green and brown. Her grandmother’s mental health had lessened and eased over time, allowing them visits to Ur on occasion.

“I remember riding through here, although it was on Kua rather than in a carriage,” Ethan laughed. “Oh you were so happy, Laney.”

“Now she will enter a new era, one of a Goddess,” Lagash noted.

“Lagash,” Laney’s grandmother narrowed her eyes. “Do not ruin the peace for her.”

“It’s ok, Grandmother,” Laney smiled. “He can have a say in what he feels.”

Lagash cleared his throat and leaned forward. “Are you really happy, Laney? Do you feel…ok?”

Laney’s lips downturned and her eyes softened. All of her family and loved ones were aware of her destiny, and a part of her missed the moments of a carefree childhood, playing with her grandparents at her childhood home and sprinting around The Academy in hopes Ethan would catch her in his arms.

“I’m…adjusting,” she formed words. “I always thought I’d be visiting your house more, and Uncle Ethan would be planting flowers for me to run through and make plant jewelry.”

She snorted at the thought. “I still want to go back and feel like a kid again. A part of me doesn’t want to…ascend Dad’s throne.”

Ethan rubbed her knee in support. “This is a brave thing you’re doing, my niece. And don’t forget, you’re always welcomed home.”

“Don’t lose your spirit, my beauty,” her grandmother smiled. “You’ll still be my little sun.”

Lagash grunted and crossed his arms. “Not a sun, more like the moon. Chaos runs through her blood, I’ve seen it: dark as night, but just as beautiful.”

Laney scratched her neck and sighed. Before long, an entire crowd started to gather outside the buildings, humans and mages alike. They were looking towards the carriages, cheering and calling Lord Enki’s name. He waved as mages started to release fire, water, air, and earth magic into the air, almost as if throwing streamers into a parade. Enki caught a water lily and released it into the sky as fireworks.

“All hail the new Goddess of Night! Lady Laney!” A random man’s voice shouted through the crowd. Laney saw men and women blowing kisses, chanting her name, and clapping their hands. The town’s buildings had been decorated in the theme colors of The Five, and birds of every color soared down from the sky in an elegant dance. She smiled and waved out the window, unsure of what to say but showing appreciation with her eyes.

“My childhood is indeed over.” She gazed away, swallowed a lump in her throat, and the tears threatening to spill from earlier flowed down her cheeks. She slumped forward, whimpering and sniffling. Her grandparents and Ethan frowned in sympathy, and she tightened her grip around her Uncle’s hand. She hissed, gasped, and threw her head back.

“I’m ok,” her hoarse voice betrayed her ears. “Just give me a second.”

She inhaled through her nose, exhaled, and rolled her shoulders back like her mom did. Just breathe in, she commanded herself, just like Mother taught you. Once her body relaxed, she nodded and wiped her watery eyes. It was an important day, there was no time for mixed emotions. What was done is done.

The carriages carted them to the middle of the Ziggurat, where another crowd of people formed around the center. Laney stepped out accompanied by her family, Ethan gripping her hand as she walked down the steps. More loud cheers echoed through Ur, directed at both her and Enki. Laney noticed more familiar faces at the front of the crowd: Su, Niall, and Iyar. They came for her, they came to see her! Decked out in traditional garment, they were smiling and nodding to her.

Laney could no longer take it. She ran from Ethan, sprinting towards her loved ones. She held each one of them, inhaling their scent. Su, Iyar, Niall, they all smelled like royalty. Their arms held her as if she were still a child, fondly and passionately.

“You’ll do well,” Niall pulled back to kiss her forehead. “We believe in you, my sparkle.”

“Make me proud, darling,” Su gripped her wrists. “Never forget your light.”

“And dance!” Iyar twirled around, plucking a few strings on his lyre that she loved so much. “Fill the world with music! Sing your song to the people of Ur!”

Laney giggled and pressed her forehead against his. She closed her eyes and sighed before Enki cleared his throat.

“My dear,” he crossed his arms behind his back. “Come along.”

Iyar motioned her along as she strolled to Enki, eyeing them over her shoulder. The wise, old mage accompanied her in front of the Ziggurat, her eyes scanning the torches that the statue of him lit. The building was huge, taller than any pyramid with an endless flight of stairs. At the top, she saw the rest:

Ishtar, Shamash, and Enlil. They cast glances at the crowd, smiling and enjoying the company of humans and mages in harmony. While this filled their hearts with happiness, they saw Enki holding his hand out for Laney at the bottom of the steps.

“My Lord,” Laney shook her head. “Please, let my family guide me to the temple. It’s the least I ask.”

Enki saw Nikkal and Kingu following behind. They stood at the edge of the stairs, watching their daughter in anticipation. Enki, raising a brow, motioned for the guards to let her parents through. Kingu and Nikkal, staring at everyone, stepped past the armed bloodhouds straight to their daughter.

“You may escort your daughter to the temple doors, but that is all I can allow.”

Laney smiled at him gratefully, and eagerly took the hand of both her father and mother. Enki nodded at the crowd.

“I hope to see many of you at the banquet later tonight! We shall see you all in time!”

The crowd cheered and waved at them, chanting blessings and throwing flowers towards them. Ethan, Nikkal’s parents, Su, Niall, and Iyar, everyone she loved, watched her. Ethan waved drastically, blowing kiss after kiss making Laney giggle. Enki started to ascend the stairs with the family in tow.

The more they climbed, the higher Laney realized they went. It was a long way up, too long, and she grew terrified her feet might give out and send her tripping all the way down. Kingu squeezed her hand, hazel eyes dancing into yellow.

“You’re ok, my Lady,” he whispered. “I’m so proud.”

“You already said that,” Laney mentioned.

“Can I not openly show love for my daughter? I think I can,” Kingu smirked. Laney stifled her laughter as they reached the final step: the final step to the doors of the Ziggurat, the temple of The Five. The brown doors were enormous, almost five hundred times the size of The Five and her stature. Two guards saluted them, including Laney and her family.

“My, my,” Ishtar bowed before her. “You are truly a daughter of Kingu.”

“A beautiful girl,” Enlil smiled. “So innocent, full of life. A greatest treasure.”

“If not, the most beautiful.” Shamash bit his bottom lip as if he were tempted to take wealth from a great King. Laney bowed her head in respect as the doors opened. Each of The Five stepped inside, leaving Laney with Enki waiting for her with her family.

“So…” Laney tightened her grip in her parents’ hands. “This is goodbye.”

“Not goodbye,” Nikkal shook her head. “More like see you soon.”

Whimpering, Laney threw her arms around their necks in a group hug. She wanted them there, to tell her everything would be ok, but they couldn’t enter with her. Kingu rubbed her back as Enki cleared his throat again.

“Laney, come.”

The girl, in reluctance, let go of her mother and father with tears in her eyes, nodding in a silent promise to be brave. Nikkal and Kingu smiled as she turned her back to them, allowing Enki to guide her into the temple. The only thing she heard was the sound of doors closing.

(Episode 12.

"Meteoroid-falling, burning, and disappear, then..."

Second to last episode!

Now, this one is titled “Senki Zesshou” which is roughly translated as “Superb Song of the Valkyries”. Of course everyone knows that’s the first portion of what the show is titled, while Superb Song is referring to their Zesshou’s (I just call it Zesshou because there’s so many different translations and I’ve heard Superb wasn’t right either so lmao).

The main point of me pointing this out is considering the previous seasons and their episode 12 names, it feels a bit haunting.

S1 Episode 12: Symphogear G Episode 12: Gekisou (referring to Hibiki’s first season battle song “Gekisou Gungnir since she gets Gungnir back in that episode) GX Episode 12: GX AXZ Episode 12: AXZ XV Episode 12: Senki Zesshou

And of course we knew that XV got its own titled episode on episode 8, which broke the mold of that haha. But with it being the final season, it just wasn’t what I was expecting. I mean, after episode 8 was named “XV” I couldn’t imagine what 12 would be named. XD

But Senki Zesshou feels fitting.

Regardless, it starts out with Shem-Ha of course, talking about how close she is to her plans but this is a brief flashback to see how the Earth started looking red like the way it did. 

And so Elfnein is there to hold Shem-Ha off, along with Carol of course. They engage in a fight with her, Elfnein’s plan being she plans to try using the same dissection method that Carol’s Chateau could do.

One random note: 

When I first saw this line, I was really confused on what he was talking about since Elfnein never killed any of her friends nor has Carol technically? But I learned from someone on twitter that basically what he was saying, or hinting to, was Elfnein attempting to “kill Miku so Hibiki wouldn’t have to?” or something like that. Now I don’t know Japanese like that, but the person I read it from does so I’d believe their judgement. Like, I don’t think it’s technically WRONG, but the way they worded it just made it seem like Elfnein killed someone already lol.

MOVING ON THOUGH:

Now here’s what I love about Carol; they say her alchemy was made to challenge Gods. Literally she perfected her alchemy so well over the course of her lifetime that it’s basically within its own caliber.

It’s different compared to the Illuminati trio, probably why they don’t use the process of burning memories to use theirs? Because it seems as if due to Carol using her memories as fuel, it gives her enough power to actually do the crazy shizz she can. Elfnein even offers to have her memories erased too if it wasn’t enough, it’s crazy.

Carol is a smart woman, and it’s really hard for me to explain why I love her but this is partially the reason. If her mind wasn’t so damaged and frayed in GX, she really could have been a lot worse of an enemy I believe.

But unfortunately, Carol’s attempt doesn’t work. Shem-Ha ends up using the Shenshoujing (due to its evil banishing properties) as a way to backfire the process immediately. And because Shem-Ha thought it was admirable for Carol to try fighting against her, she doesn’t kill her.

Everyone at HQ begin to realize that since Shem-Ha can’t use the brains of the human race, due to the curse still being in effect, she’s going to use the world’s computer terminal network instead.

So after this, what we say at the end of last episode begins to take place and before long, it goes back to Hibiki and Chris. As expected, they begin fighting Vanessa. Not much to say during this fight since not much is being said but as expected, Chris achieves her Amalgam during this.

Chris was having issues with shooting since Vanessa kept getting up close, which in turn kept Hibiki from fighting since she was trying to protect Chris the whole time lol. So instead, Hibiki suggests to fight with her, which is where they both activate Amalgam.

Now with the upper hand, Noble Red are about to get sucked into space. But instead, Chris uses her own attack to save them at the last second.

Now I will say I was bummed that the attack wasn’t her and Hibiki together, nor did they get a song, but oh well. Lol.

Important part after this is that Chris has a speech and I think it speaks a lot about how far she’s come as a person after all the struggles she’s been through.

Chris has really come a long way. I know I said it but for her to find another home after what she’s been through, to find a place where she loves again and where people love her, is something she realized back in G. And so she was determined to protect her home as much as possible, along with her friends. 

But of course, this doesn’t last long because Shem-Ha has to ruin EVERYTHINGGGGG. xDDD

When they were reborn as perfect monsters, Shem-Ha placed a part within Vanessa, so she’s able to control her and plans to do just that to get rid of the network jammer with her body.

This is when Vanessa, along with Millaarc and Elsa, start begging Hibiki to attack Vanessa because they don’t want to be used any more. Hibiki, of course, hesitates for a bit too long because by the time she activates her Gear, it was already too late as Shem-Ha infected the network just as Hibiki punches Vanessa and even reprimands Hibiki for her hesitation.

It doesn’t kill Vanessa anyway but badly injured her. But because Shem-Ha injected herself into the system, she takes over from where the AI of Enki was and she explains another revelation.

“On that day, one year ago, when mankind was connected for an instant, I revived and rose from Magallanica.”

So basically what she’s saying is that back in G, when everyone on the planet was singing “Apple” (which we all know now is a song dating back to the Annunaki) and connected to stop the moon from falling, it brought her back.

She goes onto say that it was a fragment of the lost language, which is basically what she turned herself into, and because that fragment is “Apple” and was used to connect everyone on the entire planet, it awoke her.

As she starts to destroy the ruins, the Gear users have no idea how they’ll actually get off the moon now. However, Noble Red use their Daedalus Labyrinth as a means to get them back to Earth.

Vanessa tells them to not get the wrong idea, as this is partially a way for them to leave a curse on the Gear users and show them that the Earth can’t be saved. But Hibiki brings up what her dad said about curses can be turned into blessings.

So now everyone says that they’ll carry on their feelings once they get back home. Everyone BUT Maria and Tsubasa, which I found interesting...and honestly was kinda glad for.

Given the fact that Maria, and Tsubasa especially, went through the whole concert ideal with them and Tsubasa getting a rather debilitating seal put on her by one of them, I can’t...really see her forgiving them ever. Lol. Or even saying that she’ll carry on their feelings after what they did to her sooooo uh, yeah.

But this is how Noble Red dies, and once they’re gone, the Gear users are left in space. One cute little moment, despite how it being started out made me laugh, was getting Tsubasa to reach out and grab Hibiki’s hand this time.

Like what Maria said last episode, she assumed that Hibiki felt sad when Tsubasa didn’t take her hand in episode 10 but “she found the courage to reach out and grab your hand anyway”. Maria tells Tsubasa to have a little bit more courage, and Tsubasa laments that she couldn’t do it and hurt Hibiki’s feelings. So in a way, this was her chance to reach out and make it up to her.

 As they are making their way into orbit, HQ reassures them that they’re all okay and basically fighting back against Yggdrasil. 

And because of this, it’s literally the whole world working together to get rid of Yggdrasil or at least slow it down.

But a nice little surprise was actually showing Ogawa’s brothers!

And of course they’re helping too. Ogawa’s family was actually mentioned way back in G’s keywords, explaining that Souji was the head, Shinji decided to use his ninja skills for helping organizations (like S.O.N.G or 2nd Div at the time) while Suteinu didn’t want anything to do with the clan and became a host club owner instead. Lmao.

Now recently, in XDU, they actually showed Suteinu for the very first time. If no one plays the game, they wouldn’t know this of course but he literally showed up before this episode aired so I recognized him immediately. They never showed the older brother in the game, or any other type official things, so that’s a first in general haha.

But with all this happening, how will the Gear users get back to Earth safely? Well, Hibiki suggests using their X-Drives, which seems impossible because they don’t have enough Phonic Gain for it.

And all Hibiki ends up saying is for them to believe in the songs of their hearts and the Symphogears themselves. With that said, they start singing their Zesshou’s. The shield from their Amalgam’s have been protecting them from the re-entry, but once they finish singing it, the shields break immediately and I swear to God they should have like...burned up in the atmosphere. 

Shem-Ha thought that too clearly. Lol.

Now this quote is a reference to the tagline back for season 1: “Meteorid-falling, burning, and disappear, then...” it was just translated a different way.

And somehow, through some insane and confusing miracle(?) they managed to come back with the use of X-Drive. 

Now I’m assuming these are X-Drive mixed with their Amalgam forms? Though it doesn’t explain why their hair looks all fiery? I joked that it was really due to them re-entering orbit and literally just got fire hair from it all lmao. But truthfully, I have no idea how they achieved this and I assume possible keywords will be revealed for it this Friday?? 

But basically, as expected, this is the form that was shown in the logo.

I’m so surprised by Kirika’s long hair though. Due to the shot of Hibiki, I can’t tell if she has long hair or not (I’m assuming not because that red part we see floating behind her might be her scarf????) but because her and Kirika are the only short haired people, I was just wondering if it was the same for Hibiki. But we won’t see until this Saturday though.

Either way, it ends just like this of course, so the showdown is literally pushed to episode 13. I’m...really not sure how they’re going to fit so much into a 25 minute episode. Lol.

Like, maybe the fight is the first half and conclusion is the other? But if that’s the case, something is going to be rushed/pushed. The fight could be quick, or the resolution could be quick, either or. That’s all I see it as for now.

And of course I’m worried about Miku, have been for weeks now (and I’m not joking about asking my friend to reassure me probably for this whole week about it lol), and I wonder if Hibiki will even sing “Kimi Dake Ni” this episode but only one way to find out haha. 

I can’t believe we’re already near the end though. Feels like the season just started and now, the whole series is literally about to end with this upcoming episode. I wonder how it will end or how they’ll close it out. It feels like a lot to cover in a short amount of time but I’ll wait and see before making any concrete opinions.

It feels a bit...overwhelming really. I never watched a show live for so many years to see it end. It’s a completely different feeling for me so I know I’m going to feel a bit emotional. I already feel emotional typing this up and thinking about it. We’ll have the OVAs and new songs until next year with the blu rays releasing but the actual show will be over. And that’s a lot to process with the whole journey in mind.

It wasn’t a perfect one but it’s been one heck of a ride.

But I’ll save that sappiness for after next episode. 

Here’s to episode 13!)

[favoritefadedfantasies]

six word story

Crowd standing. Anxious groom. Empty doorway

Rynn was never late. At least not when she had any say in the matter. And she certainly wasn’t going to be late on her wedding day to Riku Enki. A thousand thoughts had flashed through her mind in the week leading up to this day, and a thousand more came to her as she stared at herself in the mirror. 

It was a stunning dress, a silvery white had been selected rather than the ivory so typical of her peers. A sweetheart neckline that elegantly turned into long sleeves but gave way to a completely open, plunging back. The bodice hugged her curves, every stitch created precisely to her measurements and the fabric so perfectly delicate it was as if it was a second skin. The gown was fitted throughout the torso but turned into a full skirt at the hips, layers and layers of sparkling chiffon would shimmer with every step. 

Hair was styled into a cascade of curls, all pulled to one side to show off the backless wonder that was her gown. There was no veil - instead small jewels shaped liked wayfinders were nestled in her hair, a small nod to the secrets they shared. Underneath the dress she wore delicately woven thigh highs, a material meant to entice her husband into doing what they were meant to do. Topped off, of course, with a blue satin garter. Tucked into that garter was a very small dagger that had a very large kick. Her family didn’t know about that accessory - or the weapon hidden in the elaborate bustier that had been made for Riku’s enjoyment. She found it unnecessary, but her seamstress was convinced husbands needed a little surprise on their wedding night. 

And of course, around her neck hung the collar Ansem Enki had given her - his family’s claim on her life and her freedom. Rynn had fought hard against wearing it, but her family had insisted. It choked her with every breath. 

Everyone else in her family had gone ahead, and after too many compliments by every single member of her family’s staff, Rynn was finally ushered into the vehicle and driven to the grand venue for the wedding of the century. Or she would have been, had things not gone terribly, horribly, wonderfully awry. 

The path the driver had taken was odd - unfamiliar - and too close to the outskirts of the city. Rynn knew it was meant to get her there faster - they were already running short on time and she was the only person missing - but something in her gut told the rogue queen that this was wrong. Still, she tried to calm herself. Gazing out the window, Rynn tried to instead focus on the freedom she hoped her and Riku would have once they were in their own home together. No one would let her forget that she was his after this day - thankfully that meant her parents would no longer be chasing after her. 

Fantasies were interrupted by the black shadows she saw in the trees along the road. She tried to warn the driver, to beg him to turn onto the streets that led them further into the city. It was almost as if he couldn’t hear her - or that he was well aware of the dangers that were chasing them. A dark realization dawned on her, but she had little time to process it before something massive and hulking and horrifying slammed into the car, knocking them off the street and bringing them to a halt. 

Rynn screamed out in pain as she was slammed into the other side of the vehicle from the impact, and she scrambled to come back to her senses as spots briefly danced across her vision. Emerald eyes raised to take in the creature that had done this – it was one of the larger beasts that often accompanied the smaller creatures. Darkside. 

Fuck. 

It was bearing down on them, coming straight for her - it didn’t seem to care at all about the driver, instead intent on the redheaded weapons dealer. Hands desperately grabbed the door handle, pulling and pulling to open it to not avail. As her escape attempts grew more frenzied, the creature simply wrapped its massive hand around the side of the car opposite of her and tore it clean off its hinges. Yellow eyes beamed down at her and she saw the hand coming again, this time intent to tear the woman from car – she didn’t want to find out why.

Rynn leapt forward, pushing past the beasts hand as made an attempt to grab her, moving into a roll the moment she could. The beast just missed her, instead it grabbed a fistful of chiffon as she rolled past, tearing the skirt in two. If she wasn’t in so much danger she might have laughed. The gown was ruined, ripped off around mid-thigh in the front. Well, at least it’d be easier to move. 

Muscle memory leaping into action, Rynn drew her hidden daggers. With the flick of a switch, each blade doubled in length, creating quite reasonable short swords. Another moment of concentration and the blades lit up with flame. The Darkside was rushing towards her but this time she greeted it with a smile as she kicked off her stilettos and ran towards it head on, engaging it in battle.

She’d faced stronger beasts than this, but typically she was far more prepared and not fighting in a wedding gown. Flaming blades clashed against tendrils of darkness over and over again, the woman a blur of red and silver as she darted between its attacks. It would take some wearing down with these smaller weapons, but the redhead had no doubt she would succeed.~~~~~

The sanctuary was silent, but the air itself was abuzz with energy, rumor and scandal just waiting to take control. Rynn Arokit was late. Rynn Arokit was never late. The wedding was supposed to start half an hour ago and Rynn Arokit was late. 

Her parents maintained a brave face, telling everyone that it was likely she was waiting until she looked absolutely perfect. She was simply so in love with Riku, you see, and perfection was the only thing that would do. But it was clear that underneath the surface their facades were slowly cracking. While no one dared to look at the groom or his very intense parents, they could all guess that the only people less happy about this than the Arokits were the Enkis. Oh, the gossip columns would be absolutely delicious the next day. 

The door had been ajar for half an hour now, Rynn’s dad darting in and out to see if he could find any sign of the girl - but no one had heard a word of where she may be. After another fifteen minutes, it seemed he’d given up and resigned himself to whispering in the corner with his wife. How could the numbers be so wrong? What could possibly have happened to their loyal, beautiful, obliging daughter? Where was she?

And then they heard it. The sound of running, stumbling, nearly tripping before a figure stood in the doorway. Everyone turned to look, to take in who dare appear at such a moment - and it was her, it was Rynn. A shocked gasp made its rounds across the room as recognition struck the patrons. She looked nothing  like they’d expected her to, the way she stood in the doorway, worried and out of breath. 

Her dress was in tatters, barely covering her mid thigh. Her stockings had runs in them and she wore no shoes. Dirt stained various parts of the stunning gown. Sleeves were torn, cuts evident beneath the sheer fabric as her chest moved up and down while she tried to catch her breath. Her neck was bare, the Enki jewels lost somewhere in the battle.  In her hands were two daggers, the fires long extinguished - she couldn’t allow these people to know she possessed magic. 

Her eyes looked only at one person, the only person she cared about in this wretched place - he looked so handsome in his suit, perfectly designed to match her ruined gown. And while she didn’t like so many of the circumstance surrounding their marriage, she did like him. There were still many unanswered questions as to what had happened, but she had to say she was looking forward to regaling him with this story. 

“I’m sorry Riku, but I think we’re going to have to reschedule.” She spoke breathlessly, ignoring everyone in the room but her soulmate - and if the silverette looked closely, he just might have noticed the smirk across her lips.

Currently:

another porn blog just followed me and I’ve laughed myself into a coughing fit at my own inanity again.

(aka i read an MMO AU fanfic and then started thinking about it really hard and decoded why most MMO anime’s and fics and such just don’t ring quite true to me:

Koorii-Today at 11:22 PM

so i was just reading a fic wherein it's an AU where the characters play an MMO and i think i just realized what it is that's disconcerting about many of those like MMO animes or stories there is not nearly enough time spent talking about people running their characters in circles around each other or jumping randomly as they go places

Enky-Today at 11:23 PM

TOO REAL

Koorii-Today at 11:23 PM

LIKE BRUH I DONT CARE WHO YOU AREYOU ARE GONNA RUN IN CIRCLESAND JUMP EVERYWHERE

Enky-Today at 11:24 PM

While talking shit with your friends on Discord

Koorii-Today at 11:24 PM

yup CLEARLYi need to write an MMO AU Gimli comes back from a two-hour long AFK.  He'd meant to be back in a few minutes but his dad had waylaid him, which had turned into supper, and then he'd had to piss...and he comes back to fucking Legolas running circles around him and jumping over his character.  Again.  He slings his headset back on and gets comfortable in his chair.  "Having fun?"  "I've managed to figure out the precise timing I need to hit the space bar to completely clear your character's head.  And there's a guy over near the marketboard dancing in nothing but his underwear and a pig hat." that's it that's MMO AU
