"So," he started as he walked into the common area of the Avengers' quarters, bringing breakfast for both of them. "How do you feel after throwing your first party on Earth?" Johnny sat the food down on the table. "You did good." ; @guardianmantisx

"Wanda... This is for you," Mantis said as she held in her arms a black kitten. "I thought... I thought it was a Flerken!" Giving Wanda the cat, Mantis took a few steps back. "If it is a Flerken, then we're both going to die... probably. But if it's not, it might help you find proper emotional support!"

"Oh..." Wanda almost whispered in surprise as Mantis appeared behind her with a black kitten in her arms. Before she could react, the woman was putting said kitten in her arms and she automatically held it against her chest. "I....don't know what a flerken is." She admitted as she looked back up at Mantis.

"But this seems like a normal kitten...." She assured her a few moments later. She smiled softly when Mantis suggested that the cat might help her get the emotional support she needed. "Mantis, where did you get this kitten?" She thought it wise to double check, the Guardians weren't really au fait with property ownership.

"Baby, you are up way too early after a party like that. Which was amazing. A+, by the way." April rubbed her eyes as she walked into the kitchen, pouting at her roommate. "But still. Too early." ; @guardianmantisx

celestialmantdonna asked:

❛  and you'll live as you've never lived before.  ❜

[ ϟ ]—– Wry smile has come into being, curling of lips a languid, near-careful process whilst he offers a faint nod as initial response.

The upward curve remains there only for a moment, then proceeds to falter and wane; the belief he would somehow, in one way or another, feel alive as he once did seems distanced from the thunderer, a vague, future prospect that feels perpetually out of reach.

' I doubt it will be as before dear Mantis,' and kindness of her words is matched by the Asgardian, voice a soft rumble which is twinged with gratitude.

' But I suppose there are ways to make it similar, if not better... You certainly seem to have a particular talent for it... embracing life I mean... You should teach me your ways..'

Loki smiled at her and nodded, not saying anything else on the matter of their fathers. "It's made my fiancé's evil cat more tolerable. I guess having someone in the house that can understand him helped." He leaned back in his seat. "The problem is the random herd of animals that follow her wherever we go." He looked back up at her and smirked, "But next time she's wandering around the tower with me, I'll send her your way."

Mantis was thankful that Loki didn't ask more about her history with Ego; eventually she would open up about it all. But at that point in time it was just too fresh of a wound to go and reopen. She uttered a soft thanks before her smile of appreciation turned into amused laughter as Loki described the happenings of home. "How lucky that she can communicate with them though! At least you'll never have to guess what the animals are thinking? There's probably a lot of people who'd be jealous of that ability. As someone who's thinking of fostering, I am one of those people."

@guardianmantisx asked: 💤  for  a  lazy  starter

"I can'tttttt do anything else," he complained as he crossed the gym to where she was sitting. Johnny plopped down beside her and laid his head in her lap, pouting up at her as he said, "I hurt in places I didn't know existed."

[ofcrimsonenchantresses]

Wanda kept her fingers in Arvad's fur, listening to the cat purr contently as she loved on him. Of course Mantis didn't feel anything as ugly as resentment, she was genuinely a good person. Wanda blinked a few times when she considered the question. "A little." She admitted softly. "It's hard to give up so much and see people just... move on. I don't need a parade or a medal, but some sort of moral dessert wouldn't go amiss."

@ofcrimsonenchantresses continued from here

Nestled comfortably in the bean bag chair, Mantis watched the film in silence until Wanda suddenly spoke. Dark eyes flickered to the other, and the Celestial sat up to face her.

"Resentful?" Mantis repeated, considering the woman's words. Her gaze fell pensively, for a moment, but ultimately she shook her head. "No. Helping others, protecting them... it makes me happy," she admitted, hands folding on her lap. "Do you find yourself growing resentful?"

@celestialmantdonna liked for a starter <3

Wanda was sat on her sofa, watching some dumb television drama and enjoying her relaxing day. She had barely moved all day, only to get snacks or go to the bathroom. Arvad had come to lie on her lap for a bit before disappearing off to play with some of his toys but now he was padding into the room, meowing loudly and pawing at Wanda's foot. "What is it, buttercup, what's wrong?" She asked curiously in sokovian, running her fingers through his fur. Both of them looked up when there was a knock at the door. "Let's go see who that is."

She stood, letting the blanket she'd been wearing fall onto the sofa and beginning to the front door. Wanda undid the latch and swung the door open, smiling when she saw who it was. "Mantis! This is a surprise!" She told her. Arvad meowed in greeting and began running himself on Mantis' legs. "Arvad missed you, it seems."

For my bestie @lmanburgseulogy. I drew her two hyperfixations together: c!Eret and praying mantises. I hope I made her proud. :D

The text up there may be a bit hard to read, so I’ll put it down here too

Wilbur: DAMNIT! Eret’s gone again!

Niki: I think she’s looking at bugs again.

Wilbur: ofc he is

Happy hyperfixating @lmanburgseulogy :3

[socially-reluctant]

bruh it just occurred to me that redheads tend to be resistant to anesthesia

how many times did they try to anesthetize Mantis during his days in the labs and it just. didn't work

or he was 'asleep' but still conscious enough to feel everything

that adds a whole new level of horror to his backstory imho

the poor lad

"Impressive enough to shut down an entire city and put country's government on alarm," he smirked, before shaking his head at her question. "It's not an ability that's looked upon highly back home." Loki paused at that, adding, "My father wanted that part of me suppressed." Until it was the right moment for him to reveal it and use it for his own gain, but he left that unsaid. "But my daughter has the same magic, so I've been trying to use it more for her sake."

Mantis listened attentively as Loki explained his hesitance, her empathic senses attuned to the nuances of his emotions underlying his words, though she didn't push for more details. She nodded understandingly, offering him a warm smile of reassurance. "It's perfectly alright, Loki," she murmured softly, her gentle voice a calming presence in the room. He'd been patient with her opening up regarding her past, the least she could do was offer him the same kindness and not pry. Though as he elaborated on his abilities, Mantis's eyes sparkled with interest. "Your mastery over magic is truly impressive," she remarked, genuine admiration coloring her tone. When he mentioned his ability to manipulate ice, she tilted her head curiously. "Is there a reason you aren't as well versed in that magic?"
