Month 4, day 26

I've been a busy kitty tonight :3 Because on top of 3 (three!) new materials, one of which is animated, I also washed all of my clothes and my main bed blankie :)

[ardensregias]

somnophilia (with or without consent you choose) with aventurine or sunday...

alright 👍🏻 i'm going with aventurine for this one, since his banner is tmrw yippee :3 may all avennie wanters become avennie havers ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

nsfw, consensual somnophilia, afab!reader, reader wears nightgown, fingering, spooning fucking (i have no idea what it's called (u_u)), established relationship, petnames used: darling, baby, sweetheart, little bunny.

"...my love?"

rubbing his tired eyes to prevent them from closing, aventurine enters your shared house together—only to find you asleep on the couch, filling the otherwise quiet living room with the soft rumble of your snores.

his lips slowly curl up to form a faint smile, little hearts dancing across his beautiful pupils as he steps closer to you, getting a good look at the way the silk gown highlights your curves—all the stress he accumulated from working instantly disappears into thin air the moment he came home to this, like something served only for him in a silver platter.

"you'll catch a cold..." he sighs, stepping closer to take you back inside your shared bedroom—while his eyes gawk at your body, glancing at your chest and legs, before he looks away and try not to act on his desire; you have said that it is fine for him to relief his stress by using you, even in an unconscious state—still, he'd rather not disturb your beauty sleep. slowly, he places you down on to the mattress and kissed your forehead, wishing you a good night's sleep before he stood up, attempting to leave and change his clothes first.

that is, until you decided to roll over, causing your dress to hikes up your thighs, revealing the skimpy and lacy panties underneath—aeons, how could you possibly be any more alluring? he wouldn't be able to hold back himself if this persists.

aventurine gently pushes the silky fabric further up, finally caving in, "'m sorry..." he murmurs, his gloved fingers slowly making their way inside your puffy folds, stimulating the sensitive nerves and getting surprised when he hears the squelching noises, already so loud when he barely does anything—he's starting to suspect that you may have been thinking of him a lot... probably not in an innocent way too (neither did he).

"are you dreaming of me, baby?" his lips curl up to form a small smirk, pumping his digits in and out of you faster, drawing out that little whines of yours that he loves so much, taking them as a sign to continue. he knew very well how skilled his fingers are, after all.

and continue, he did—laying down right behind you, slotting his erection between your thighs as the blunt head slowly slides into your tight little pussy, sucking him in so nicely as if this is the last time you can feel it. you're still so responsive, he thinks, groaning whenever you unconsciously push your ass against him, meeting his thrust while also arching your back.

the blond man tries to be as quiet as possible, burying his face into your nape and trailing kisses down your back with his arms settled on your hips to help him reach deeper and deeper, until his tip finally touches that one gummy spot—one that always makes you moan louder and beg him for more.

"fuck—i'm gonna cum, darling... ah—you're always so good for me..." he stammers, hips stuttering as the slapping noises intensifies, bouncing off the walls along with your soft mewls and his ragged breath.

it doesn't take long before the knot in your stomach snaps, your walls pulsating around his dick before he soon follows, stuffing you full with hot and sticky ropes of cum—so full that some of it form a ring around the base when he attempts to pull out. it surprises him to see just how pent-up he's been, but a sudden whimper from you brought snap him back to reality.

"'venturine... more, please..." for a moment, he was stunned—are you awake? or are you simply dreaming of doing this with him? the thought of being in your mind 24/7 easily flusters him, making his still-erect cock twitch inside you.

well, as a good boyfriend, what else can he do except to fulfill his little bunny's wishes?

his thumb finds its way back to your swollen nub, rubbing patterns across the sensitive area before he shoves his shaft back in, "as you wish, sweetheart,"

[lionhanie]

leehan as your boyfriend! ♡

established relationship, PURE fluff, leehan x reader, leehan is IN LOVE with you, also not proofread LOL!!!!!!!

word count: ~800 i think lol

warnings: none

a/n: i can't lie this whole thing was sooo self indulgent i just love him so bad #GUILTY!

literally does everything in his power to make you smile and feel good... #1 boyfriend in the world i fear!

he must have the ability to read the minds of the people he loves bc he just knows what you need all the time

...or rather than this, all of his opinions and preferences become whatever you like! (without complaint ofc, because he’s okay with anything as long as you’re satisfied)

this makes me think he’s rlly big on quality time because he seems like the type of bf to be content with just. whatever! as long as you’re there ^_^

quite literally only has eyes for you

he doesn’t really *intend* to do this, but it is so difficult for him to focus on anyone else if he has *you* there with him

everyone will always complain when they hangout with just you two bc they will always end up feeling like a third wheel :skull: 

even if you try to tease him for literally adoring you 24/7 he wouldn’t even be flustered or embarrassed. he would just nod and smile in agreeance U_U

he’ll always go out of his way to compliment you too, telling you how cute you look or how good you are at doing something. he gets a little shy every time you compliment him, but he always recovers by turning the praise back to you

even though he isn’t the best texter, i imagine he would put in extra effort to keep you updated throughout the day-- especially if it's hard to spend a lot of time together in person

you're just going about your day at school/work and you hear a notification on your phone... it's leehan sending you like 10 different angles of the new friends he got for his fish tank

or it's one of his selfies that are either 1) blurry, 2) crop out like 80% of his face, 3) at an unnatural selfie angle, or 4) all of the above. regardless, he's still your handsome boyfriend & looks amazing in every pic he sends

unironically i think he would be a DRY texter LMFAO but the way he communicates is kind of endearing. rather than sending messages, he def has a concerningly large album of reaction pics he uses for every possible situation (including ones he made himself using pics of you & the members)

dates with him are SO fun.

again, he doesn't really care too much about what you two do as long as he gets to spend time together... he's just down to try Anything and Everything so you guys never really run out of things to do together

being so eager to try new activities, i can 100% see him suggesting the most obscure data ideas & being so genuinely excited to do it no matter how odd it may seem given the context

cause Boy wdym you think fishing in a river at 12am is a fun idea for a date... it’s not necessarily like you were going to say no .... but also… this isn’t a common date activity, right?

i think he loves staying in with you the most….. sleepover!!! :3

especially after you both had tiring days; spending a night in with each other never fails to recharge you both!

ordering any food you want (he isn’t planning on eating much, so he’d rather get something you’re craving) ((after a couple bites he sits back and watches you eat w/ the biggest grin on his face))

but i think the absolute BEST part of the night is when the two of you are side by side at the bathroom counter doing a Twelve Step Skincare Routine that leehan made himself

and you’re giggling the whole time bc he takes his skincare SERIOUSLY. (that one mf who don’t play about his skincare bye)

i think he’d be super attentive, but silently though

you’d never know he’s constantly keeping track of your reactions to certain things, your different routines, your food preferences, the types of clothes you like

Ok in theory it /sounds/ creepy but he just puts in the effort to observe the way you like to do things so he can help you whenever you need it

IMAGINE you’re running late & you can’t find your phone /again/ and you’re lowkey freaking out because you Need To Leave Now but leehan just steadies you and hands you your phone

and ur kind of in awe ??? i've been looking for this for ten minutes now... How Do you have this …?

he just shrugs and explains “you always leave it underneath the blanket when you make the bed so i figured it might be there again" and motions for you to hurry before you’re late

or maybe you’re feeling under the weather & you ask him to make you a hot drink to help soothe your throat and he comes back with a mug of tea made EXACTLY how you make it for yourself

you're pleasantly surprised upon taking your first sip because …you don’t recall ever telling him how you like your tea? 

then he's sitting there with stars in his eyes and saying “i made it properly, right? :3” (clearly very proud of himself bc he remembered how you like it)

doesn't seem like the type to be too extra when it comes to PDA. if anything, he prefers small and/or secret interactions in public (it feels more intimate if only you guys know what's happening)

head pats. that’s it. he thinks the way you literally melt whenever he pats your head is the most endearing thing ever, so he'll save it /specifically/ when you're out w/ a group of people because he loves seeing you so flustered afterwards

keeping a hand on the small of your back or resting his arm on the back of your chair when you're sitting next to each other

holding your hand in his under the table, giving it a gentle squeeze as the two of you continue to talk with the others at the table

at the end of the day... he just loves you so dearly & couldn't be happier knowing that he can call you his, and you can call him yours :,)

[velnna]

i’m ngl, i’m a big dnd nerd that was running out of high fantasy content to consume and then i stumbled upon your beloved comic. i just wanted to ask what your favorite worldbuilding decision is for utg and if you could pick dnd classes for any (all) of the characters, what they would be 👀

anyway, i hope you have so much good energy! all the good ideas and epiphanies and magnificent sketches to your heart’s desire ♥️

Oh yay thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy it ☺️

There's two major world things that I'm really happy with and helped a bunch of things click into place I think

One has to do with the magic system, or rather how magic works in that world on a sort of... molecular level? People who've seen me do worldbuilding for a while know I'm cheeky about deriving stuff from physics and loosely drawing parallels here and there, and for the under garden I ended up making it so that a lot of magic runs on wave function interference. Kinda. So the "natural" state of things has its own wave frequencies and magic comes from unnatural frequencies being added into the mix causing shit to go weird

By extension deciding this also made it easier to understand why or how some things can detect magic (they'd pick up on the weird frequencies) AND how it's possible to have magic blocking devices (they emit destructive frequencies that nullify it). Does it fully make sense on a physical level? Not necessarily but I get giddy when I can visualise magic mechanics like this hehe

The other decision was to simplify our lineup of humanoid species from the original DnD esque basis, but in a way that allows us to have basically any humanoid appearance you can think of through a ✨mutation��� cheatcode. We have two "elf" subspecies (basically the dark elf-like ppl and everyone else, including "dwarf" looking folk, etc) and then a species that technically derives from them (and they're all genetically compatible) that's characterised by having abnormal, often insect-like traits. There's no real limit to their phenotypes since their origin is magical and random in nature, and since they can mix with "normal" elves the degree of bugness varies.

Which means i can have insect people, reptile people, horns or hooves or tails or wings galore without needing to come up with a full background for each of these variants >:)c

ANYHOO sorry I get carried away rambling about these things. Class-wise, I only have claims for some characters who... may be yet to make a full appearance in the comic, and would actually fight:

^ Monk??? Not my first claim but after playing an actual monk the ki system started making a lot of sense

^ Lil' sorcerer u_u probably with a subclass or two but sorcerer would hold up as he grows older

^ I think warlock would work for her well enough. Not a perfect fit but I can see it with some homebrew tweaking

^ Ranger makes sense I feel, she becomes one with the avalanches

^ Barbarian.... barbarian/druid???? Uncharted territory here

^ Warlock but you haven't seen much of it yet.... soon.... (I'm actually so excited for her)

^ This one's easy I just snatched her straight from an old DnD game anyway. That's my rogue artificer babygirl

Anyhoo hope you enjoyed this ramble

[thewertsearch]

GG: Gosh! So formal today. UU: yes. u_u; UU: i'm afraid i am gUilty of rehearsing this pep talk well in advance. UU: i thoUght yoU deserved a proper sendoff.

Umbra has been talking to Jane for a while, then, supporting her from the sidelines.

Are the other Players aware of UU's existence, or is Jane the only one who's heard from them? Each of the original humans was initially harassed by a different troll, so maybe Bro, Jake and Roxy are being 'cheered' by their own respective cheerleaders.

UU: have yoU corresponded with yoUr first designated co-player yet? GG: No, I haven't seen her online yet today. GG: I'm really hoping Lalonde won't flake out on me this time. Have you heard from her?

I've got to say, I'm pretty relieved that the Derse kids have the same last names as before. I was fully prepared for Roxy to be a Noir, or something.

UU: not the today that is local to yoU. UU: thoUgh i do have a wee bit more troUble monitoring her than the rest of yoU. cUrioUs dark patches in transmission, hUmph.

...well, she may not be a Noir, but she is going Grimdark.

My hopes for Roxy to be the only non-corrupted human have quickly been dashed. We've got a full house of Dark Players; four ticking time bombs, ready to be set off at any moment.

This is going to be fun.

GG: I wanted to tell you, I had an amazing dream last night! […] GG: I was in a bright gold city. Above was a brilliant blue sky, but the horizon was dark as night.

Right, so Jane's a Prospit dreamer - and Jake must be the same, since she saw him there earlier. No surprises there.

UU: the place yoU visited was called prospit. it is where i have woken Up every time i have gone to sleep for most of my life.

But this is a big surprise.

UranianUmbra is a Player, and I can't figure out what session they could possibly fit into. Their grey text initially made me wonder if they were the pre-Scratch Signless - but Kid Signless wouldn't need to type in grey, would he? On a peaceful Alternia, he'd have no reason to fear culling, and could happily type in red.

What other sessions are available, then? Jane's, maybe? A fifth interloper to this reset session would certainly be an interesting twist - but it doesn't gel with the rules of the Scratch as they've been presented, and I don't think it fits the narrative.

I guess the only other possibility is that UU is in a fifth session, completely distinct from the four we're aware of.

UU: my prospit is an alternate version from yoUrs, in a completely different session qUite far afield of yoUr reality. UU: if we are ever to meet in person, it is Unlikely to be while playing oUr respective games!

And yes, that does appear to be the case.

...well, I suppose UU could just be bullshitting us, but I don't think that's the case. Bringing a fifth session into the mix is just too juicy to be a mere cover story. I'm pretty sure I believe it - and I have three main theories about what kind of session they're a part of.

Namely:

UU is part of the session which created Alternia’s universe.

UU is starting a session inside the kids' new universe.

UU's session is both of those things at once.

୨୧ # C.WARMING HEADCANONS 

feat. solomon x gn!mc | barbatos x gn!mc | simeon x gn!mc contents.  reader's body is not specified! , cockwarming, pet name usage! (my love), very soft u_u, exhib for sol if you squint, sub!mc, these guys are very touchy lol genre. headcanons/drabbles, smut words. 1367 note. I'm back !! sorry for disappearing for a while, got busy yada yada. have something that's surprisingly not JUST solomonzjzjzjz enjoy<3

solomon. 𖦹

Solomon is an asshole, plain and simple. He loves doing things that'll rile you up. He loves watching you squirm under his gaze in embarrassment. Adores it when his words and especially his actions make you so nervous. It's adorable to him. He makes a game out of it.

So it's no wonder he'd suggest something so lewd. Only something like this would come out of his perverse mind. Though, you guess you're not any better nor innocent since you agreed to it— the idea of doing something so indecent in public is thrilling.

Solomon had proposed an idea to take you to one of the more empty classrooms that only get used sometimes and are locked most of the time. Sol loves mischief. It was easy for him to sneak into these rooms without anyone noticing. You wouldn't be so nervous about it if it were that alone.

Instead, Solomon had proposed a "fun" game, have you sit on his cock while he teases you— if you can get through it without letting out any moans or whines, he'll fuck you nicely<3. You'd be lying if your insides didn't get all fluttery at the idea of Solomon pounding into you with his fingers shoved into your mouth, trying to keep you quiet; it was too much of a tempting offer to decline.

So here you are, sitting on the empty teacher's chair on Solomon's lap. His cock buried deep into you with no movement besides the occasional twitch of him inside you. Solomon's lips lightly ghosted over your skin as his cold hands traced over your body. Your shirt was unbuttoned, and your pants and underwear were discarded onto the floor.

Solomon kissed your chest, his mouth finding your nipples and lightly sucking on it while his hand played with the other. His hands massaged your inner thighs, occasionally stroking his fingers against your sex. All the while, you had to bite your lip and endure as much as possible without a single moan— it was a bit of a struggle; you couldn't exactly help but move and wiggle your hips a little against Sol, who just smiled and firmly held onto your hips to keep you straddled down. Your breathing was uneven and heavy; you kept pulling Solomon into kisses to keep yourself from making any real noise.

Solomon was getting a kick out of this. He enjoyed being so close to you and could feel all of you— how warm you were, how soft your skin was, your breath against his skin when you kissed him. God, he loved you so much it was taking everything in him to not take you right here and there. You were also testing his patience, but soon enough, it'll pay off for both of you. He leans in closer to kiss your temple before whispering,

"You're being so good for me, my love. I'll be sure to reward you, okay?"

barbatos. 𖦹

Barbatos took pleasure in teasing you from time to time. With how much work he does daily, he forgets just how cute you look when you’re fidgeting under him.

Barbatos misses you dearly throughout the day. His only solace is knowing you’re waiting to come over to the castle in what seems to be the dead of night for the devildom. He’d come to the house of lamentation to escort you back himself, his hands never leaving the small of your back. Barbatos keeps you close. You can sense the longing and desire of him.

When you’re finally in the privacy of one of the extra bedrooms you frequent together, Barbatos offers to cuddle with you since that’s something you enjoy doing with him. Though. You had something a little different on your mind.

Hearing your idea, Barbatos simply chuckles to himself before saying,

“Oh, of course.” a pleasant smile forms on his lips, “I’ll take good care of you tonight, mc.”

Rarely does Barbatos ever find himself in such a sorry state. He was left in only his green button-up, with a few buttons undone. Barb's tie was discarded onto the floor; pants only tugged down to give enough room for you to sink onto his cock. Barbatos buried his face into the crook of your neck, leaving soft kisses as he trailed to your lips.

His hands gently caressed your bare skin. Barbatos was warm, comforting even– strange for a powerful demon such as himself. Yet, something about the care he poured into the moments he could be intimate with you was enough to overwhelm you. He’d whisper sweet words in your ear, telling you how much he missed your touch, scent, and everything about you. Your very being didn’t escape his mind once throughout his long day.

Barbatos is a man of restraint. He can easily contain his excitement, but Barbatos struggles a little in moments like these to keep himself from moving. He wants you to feel his adoration, his love, every part of him. Instead, his hands find your hips and pull you in even closer, as if trying to meld your bodies together into one being. You sigh out of pleasure when you feel him even deeper inside you.

When you press kisses all over his face, he lets you. When your hands help him out of his shirt, he lets you. When he feels you moving against him, trying to get any friction, he allows you. Barbatos can’t help the smile on his face, nor can he help that look of pure love blossoming in his eyes. Deep down, he knew sitting still like this was out of the question for you; he knew you good enough to know you’d crack eventually and silently beg for him.

Who is Barbatos to deny you? With a chaste kiss to the lips, Barbatos gently guides you onto your back, his hips finding rhythm against yours.

Simeon 𖦹

Simeon’s nothing but a gentle lover. Every intimate moment shared with him is treated with delicacy on his part; he treats you like you’re the most precious thing he holds near and dear to his heart– which he does.

Simeon loves caring for you afterward; he’s attentive to your needs. Sometimes, though, he’ll take a little bit more time before he’ll break away from you to get you anything you might want. Water, snacks, a bath– anything really, but first, Simeon intends to hold you close.

Any ‘warming’ done with him is purely accidental and in the spur of the moment. It almost always happens right after the act itself. Simeon pulls you closer, having you lay on top of him while his arms wrap around you.

He presses kisses to the top of your head, small I love you slipping past his lips between each kiss. You can feel him have a semi inside you; he finds it quite embarrassing, but if you move and nudge him lightly, you may be able to incite him for another round.

If it’s not after, then it’s definitely during cuddling. Though you’ll mostly initiate that. All you have to do is whisper into Simeon’s ear,

“Simeon…I want to feel you. More of you, please?” with pleading eyes that Simeon could never resist.

Simeon likes facing you when cuddling, so doing this felt much more intimate than actually fucking (lol). Once he’s inside you, he becomes so bashful at it. He smiles a lot, kissing you a bunch.

The back of your hand, each knuckle, cheek kisses that’ll trail up to your forehead and down to your lips. Kiss him back, and you’ll hear the prettiest sighs and hums from him.

Play with his hair during this, too; if you want to see him melt, you feel incredibly soft despite what you’re doing. Any moment with Simeon will have you like this, but something about being so close to him makes your head spin.

It must be the same for Simeon because he can’t help but mutter words of sentimentality.

“being able to do something like this…especially with someone like you, I..” Simeon pauses before chuckling, his hand reaching up to caress your cheek. “mc, I love you dearly. That’s all I’m trying to say.”

thank you for reading, rbs appreciated&lt;3    m.list

Part 1 | Part 2

WAKE UP BABES!! DINNER IS SERVED!!!

Bruce/Brandi x Reader: part 2

Includes: GN! Reader, Vacay Lovers, polyamory, relationship headcanons, slight Bruce Jr. slander

💜 These two took things slow when they were wooing you, you better BELIEVE they're gonna do the same once you've actually been bagged

🧡 I MEAN DON'T GET ME WRONG!! They're not any less passionate about you or anything, but like... c'mon. They're middle-aged, run a full time business and are married with kids. They've got a lot on their hands already so chances are they're not immediatly urging you to move in with them or just straight up sign marriage documents (sorry to disappoint u_u)

💜 But like I said: this doesn't mean they're not good lovers

🧡 In fact I'd say in my entirely unbiased opinion that they'd make fantastic lovers! Wonderful! Superb, even!

💜 So naturally, once you find yourself added to the relationship? Expect all that supportive energy thrown your way too lol

🧡 No matter what endeavor you choose to pursue, rest easy knowing you'll have your own personal cheerleaders having your back at all times. You got a hobby you're really into? SAY LESS BABES!! Gift-giving is Brandi's love language so you bet your ass she's buying you everything you could possibly need. Wanna pursue some form of higher education, maybe get some fancy degree? BOOM, you've just signed yourself up for study sessions with Bruce

💜 (I mean like... he might not be much help if you're studying for something shmancy like law or medicine, but he will happily hold and read out flashcards for you :3)

🧡 Or maybe you just wanna help out around Vacay Island which? Yes hello they would love that??

💜 Running a business is no easy feat so the couple definitely welcome the extra set of hands (paws??). If you're more social and outgoing then chances are you're out on the front lines with Bruce, taking orders for food, welcoming guests and getting them settled in, leading activites like volleyball or the weekly shuffleboard tournament, etc.

🧡 Obviously if you'd rather remain behind the scenes, you're more than welcome to join Brandi on her end of things. Making food, booking guests into their rooms, keeping track of all the finances, etc.

💜 Maybe you're crap with spreadsheets and numbers and just wanna like... keep her company while she works at her desk? Grab her some refreshments every now and then?? Maybe even offer a shoulder massage once you've noticed she's been hunched over for too long???

🧡 I swear this woman will cherish you forever

💜 Whether you're another troll like Bruce or a fellow Vacationer like Brandi, the way you spend time with either of these two can differ

🧡 If you're on the smaller side? Bruce just enjoys getting to hold your hand while walking alongside you on the beach. The man spends pretty much all his time around literal giants and it can get a little overwhelming sometimes, so he can definitely appreciate having someone around who's more on his level (hehe). Brandi on the other hand just thinks your small size is cute! Hands down one of her favorite things is when either you or Bruce (OR BOTH) just like? Casually hitch a ride on her shoulder?? Or she'll hold you both in the palm of of her hand and just go "omigosh it's totally like holding a couple of grapes haha :D"

💜 Reader POV: Ah yes. Me, my boyfriend, and our giant girlfriend/wife

🧡 On the flipside, if you're closer to Brandi's size? This woman is taking every available opportunity to take full advantage of the fact. She's laying kisses all over your face, running her fingers through your hair, cuddling with you after a long day of work, etc etc. Technically speaking she COULD (and DOES) do all this regardless of how big/small you are... but at the same time it's just soooo much easier when she doesn't have to constantly watch herself so she doesn't accidentally crush you ://

💜 Meanwhile Bruce is just like "if either of you DO crush me... you won't hear any complaints from my end, just sayin"

🧡 Man is horrendously down bad 😳

💜 Last post i was like OUTINGS WITH BRANDI, but this post?? SURFING LESSONS WITH BRUCE! This man will not rest until you know how to ride a wave, okay, he is DEDICATED. Once you've gotten good enough, expect regular invites to the beach so you two can hit the ocean asdjahdslak

🧡 I like to think that even while running a business and family, Bruce and Brandi are still perfectly capable of maintaining a healthy love life— both with each other and you. Partly because they're just that in love but also cuz they don't let ANYTHING get in the way of weekly date nights (yeah that's right, plural)

💜 Bruce, on the phone: "Hey honey, me and (____) are outside the resturaunt. Where are you?"

"Oh, I'll probably be a few minutes. Bruce Jr. just set off a firework in the kitchen, you know how he is. But you two should go get us a table while you're waiting!"

"Alright, we'll see you later, love you :)"

"I love you guys more~"

🧡 And then Bruce just... hangs up and leads you inside the resturaunt, meanwhile you're just?? Very concerned????

💜 Dates with these two are pretty casual ngl. Neither feel the need for extravagant displays of love, so chances are the three of you are just spending some quality time together. Chillin at home without the kids, cooking/baking food together, watching reality TV

💜 (Tbh there's probably some trollverse version of The Bachelor/Bachelorett and lemme tell you that these two EAT THAT SHIT UP)

🧡 Of course if you wanna go out somewhere fancy then no worries!! Your girl Brandi knows the downlow on all the hottest spots in town and Bruce likely has enough connections to get you three reservations at even the fanciest restaurants

💜 Simply ask and these two will find a way to get it done <33

🧡 LOTS OF FAMILY OUTINGS WITH THE VACAY LOVERS HOUSEHOLD!!!

💜 At some point in the relationship Bruce will approach you and go "Hey, our son Benni has a dance recital tomorrow, did you wanna come?" and the second you say yes is the second you offically become a permanent member of the family. You are joining their monthly family camping trips. You are helping Brandi make cupcakes for school soccer games. You and Bruce are sitting down with the kids for homework help

🧡 Hopefully you've got good memory cuz you're gonna need to memorize 13 different fast food orders whenever the kids drag you to Bergen King askdhalslk

💜 Speaking of the little shits

🧡 You thought you were spending a lot of time with them BEFORE you were smoochin their parents?? Well congrats because the second you start becoming a permanent member at the dinner table, expect to have all 13 of them constantly hanging off you

💜 Maybe one of them needs your help practicing a new move they've learned from their martial arts class, maybe another wants someone to listen as they info dump about their latest hyperfixation, or maybe they just need help kickstarting their underground fireworks selling business

🧡 Cough cough (Bruce Jr) cough cough

ASJKJDHALJSKD THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN, I LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH!! There were a for more headcanons i wanted to touch upon but the post was getting long lol. Definitely plan on doing more for them tho so no worries uwu

but i mean like if you guys got prompts/questions then go ahead, my asks are open 👀👉👈

[ask-the-druggieverse]

Sorry if this ask is all over the place, but I just kind of, slammed my brain juice onto the keyboard and thought this up. 😅

Are there any rehab centers in the town? If so, does anyone we’re familiar with attend? Or are they doing their own at home recovery?

What made the crew who’ve gone sober do so? What was the breaking point / moment of clarity that made them give up their addictions? Was it a slow burn or a sudden moment? And how did they go about it? Cold Turkey or weening off slowly?

What’s the fatality rate due to OD’s in the town?

Hope I didn’t ask too many questions, just had a yap spasm and couldn’t choose a single question to ask. ^^;;;

If you want, you can take only one or two questions from above and answer them! If not, then you can just ignore this. ;;;

Thank you! :]

1/? (If my answers are too long I'll quickly do a different ask and come back to this BSHGBBJH)

MOONGLIHT: And it looks like this one is asking some very private stuff that's fitting for you Epic MOONLIGHT: And don't worry MOONLIGHT: All asks are private so you won't get into any legal trouble... MOONLIGHT: Unless one of the askers manages to tell others then you'd be in trouble

- IDK - anywhos I'm honestly glad the story is going even if it's slow, this is my first ask blog ever and my first "ask to give story" type of story telling ever, so I'm trying to make it make sense in the best way possible, I've aso noticed i've been drawing backgrounds a lot more? neeto!!

Also to all of the asks about Bill they will be answered in a bulk/group without getting all too spoilery how HOW it's going to happen i'll just say a word that will give you an idea of what will happen: Crash Out/Mental break down (I'M SO SORRY IT'S TAKING FOREVER!!! QWQ)

Also tiny note to make the story go faster I'm gonna try and upload about each 2-3 days, however this means less pages/panels in one post (so instead of 4-6 it's be 1-3 like this U_U)

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

What do you think rangshi were like as parents? Especially when Koko was a baby. I could not imagine Rangi getting up in the middle of the night I feel like she would be SO pissed 😭

Yup! I got lots of thoughts! Here they are, random an unorganized I'm so sorry TT0TT

I like to think they found Koko somewhere (she's around 2ish years old maybe?), and they adopted her before they turned 20, so they are either 18 or 19 when they adopt her (I have a joke, and yes I think it's hilarious).

They find Koko in a ravaged place (daofei destroyed the town or something). She's not a newborn, but the two of them are still woefully unprepared to take care of a toddler. TT0TT (Thankfully they have 3 grannies, Hei-Ran/Atuat/Auntie Mui, to help them!)

The grannies and Kirima like to poke fun at the whole predicament. (all in good faith)

Hei-Ran: I swear, when you said you liked girls I thought it meant I wouldn't have to worry about my daughter being a teenage mother! And an unmarried one at that! Kirima: Naughty, naughty girls. This is what happens when you fool around outside of wedlock. Atuat: Didn't they teach you where babies come from in that hoity toity Fire Academy? Auntie Mui: Kyoshi! Were my "Talks" not enough?!

Anyway everyone spoils the shit outta Koko (she's precious and cute!) She's rambunctious and cute and gets into a lot of trouble (her Auntie Kirima and Uncle Wong help her with that). She may or may not run Kyo and Rangi a tad ragged. >:3c

Note: I'm unsure if Koko's a bender or not, and if she is what element she'd be. I usually lean towards Earthbender if not Nonbender. (but Fire or Water would change things up). But we'll go with Earthbender for now.

Koko usually falls asleep while being held by Rangi or Hei-Ran (designated warm Mother and Grandmother 🥺). Rangi's afraid she's the more "strict" mom (it's the army brat in her u_u), so even if Kyoshi's also a firebender, she designates Rangi as the "warm" mom to curb Koko maybe being scared of her (really cloth monkeying the heck outta this lil girl TT0TT but Rangi's a good mom! she's just a lil scary looking kfjsklaf). She's the one to freak out the most about Koko's wellbeing (it's the mother hen in her).

Now sleeping? Kyoshi and Rangi already run on not a lot of sleep tbh. Avataring does that to you. But when Koko does cry in the middle of the night, Rangi's the one who tries to be the first one there. She feels like Kyoshi gets a lot less sleep than she needs and will try to rectify that as much as possible!

That being said, she doesn't like getting up (but does it for duty, and she's not mad at lil Koko she's just a baby). And Kyoshi still finds a way to get up with her (no this defeats the purpose of Rangi getting up Kyoshi!). They are both idiots trying their best ok??? TT0TT

The Grannies try to help as much as they can cause otherwise Rangshi will look like zombies all the time. TT0TT Really taking "it takes a village to raise a child" to heart with raising Koko.

Koko calls Kyoshi "Mama" and later "Mom" (when she becomes a Teen), or "Avatar" in a super formal setting. She slips up and calls her mama sometimes tho. TT0TT "Mam-I mean mom- I-I mean. *cough* *super serious voice* Avatar."

Koko calls Rangi "mofer" (really young, trying to imitate what Rangi calls Hei-Ran), "mommy" (when they convince her to use this for now), "mother" (when she hits teen years).

(Kyo and Rangi miss being called Mama and Mommy tho TT0TT But they also think it's SOOOOO adorable when she acts super serious and grown up, and also when she slips up askfjlslkajf)

Koko looks very similar to Kyoshi (Earth Kingdom features). With greener eyes (Kyo's eye color changes like the damn wind, but they're more blue like Suki's imo) and freckles (not the same as Kyo's but still). Her hair color is more like Suki's too. (maybe she's Suki's ancestor? Who knows? ;U)

But as she grows up she really takes on Rangi's personality (even wears a lil topknot!). She's a very serious Kyoshi Warrior yes she is (she got that army brat in her, she got it from her mother jkfslajf)

That being said, Koko still feels "softer" than Rangi. Like how Rangi still feels "softer" than Hei-Ran (Rangi, my precious cry baby ;w;). Blah blah "each generation softening the blow for the new generation to come" mentality yadda yadda.

When they first adopt Koko, she's greatly malnourished. They have to take things slow while she recovers. Rangi's freaking out, she's just a baby! And she just sees the kid suffering and wants to help as fast as possible, and now she's seeing Kyoshi starving as a kid when she looks at Koko and it's making her freak out more and-

Kyoshi has to calm her down. She and Mui have experience from when Kyo was recovering, and Atuat is a doctor. Rangi was worrying herself ragged during that time. (lots of cuddle sessions to keep Koko warm).

Kyoshi is the one who plays the most games with Koko I think. Rangi encourages it, Kyoshi is nervous. It's because Kyoshi never played in any reindeer games I mean. Played any (earthbending) games growing up, partially cause of the bullying but also partially cause she was afraid she'd hurt the other kids (she was powerful and couldn't control her bending yet). So this is both a good bonding experience for them, but also it gives Kyoshi reassurance in her bending!

Koko's the most well known cause she's the oldest and first child of Rangshi. But Kyoshi/Rangi do end up having other kids, and Koko loves them and is very protective of them.

Kyoshi and Rangi keep track of all their descendants (yes I think Rangi is also immortal RoR gave me hope like a dumb bitch TT0TT), and they interact with their grandkids and great-great-great-great grandkids and yeah. Just a fun tidbit, they love their family a lot.

All in all, even if Kyoshi and Rangi can't be with her all the time (Avatar stuff u_u). Koko knows she is loved, and they make sure that she is taken care of.

Annnnnnd that's all I got for now. TT0TT I think I listed all the key stuff but yeah. \(=w=)/

Callie! Any fun anecdotes with your friends you want to share? What are your favorite hobbies to do with them? If you ever meet, apart from hugging, are there any in-person activities you'd like to do?

UU: dirk once tried to replicate one of jane's recipes bUt sUbstitUted every crocker ingredient. the textUre made a very good replacement brick in oUr wall where caliborn pUnched it!

UU: jake made a cherUbsona once and we debated how accUrate it was for a month. he chose blUe instead of green, which i have heard some people specUlate is possible, so i saw nothing wrong.

UU: bUt his cheek spirals were lime and yoU woUld have thoUght caliborn woUld never speak with him again.

wait who is Barbie with? 🤔 im sorry i missed the lore im just an interested onlooker

Barbie's my favorite little bicycle! EVERYONE gets to ride!

Her "main canon" LI is Mason though (sometimes Morgan, but that relationship plays out differently). In the canon of my mind (shared with Crownleys) where Barbie isn't the detective (just has the special blood) she and Mason have been fwb for years. She's already been divorced once before, so her thoughts on romance and such are pretty dim. That on top of being career focused and Unit Bravo being on the move so often...meh, she doesn't really consider what her specific feelings for Mason might be. No more than Mason considers what his specific feelings for her might be. They just enjoy spending times together and getting each other off. That's all that matters.

Canon hasn't told us if M will/can figure out their feelings before the MC does, but I like to imagine M CAN, and then the MC can be like 'wait WHAT' followed by a 'oh god fucking dammit I'm in love too' sort of realization.

And you know what, I'm throwing more examples of Barbie being the one to fall in love second under a read more because I think about it way too often.

(all of these assume Barbie's been working for the Agency for over a decade. She has the special blood, but is not the detective and is not Rebecca's kid. Those go to Kira, @crownleys's MC)

Barbie/Nate: pretty standard. She does realize her feelings for him are romantic pretty early on, but when Nate pulls out the "I love you" card, she has a minor freak out. Holy shit that feels soon for her! I absolutely love having her break up with him about it, because Nate being a sad mope is the best. (obviously not canonically possible, but meh)

Barbie/Felix: He has to really work to get her to give him a shot. She likes him well enough, he's very attractive, but how 'young' he is compared to her gives her pause. That, and he wants to go very slow with sex, while she wants to jump straight into bed, and she wants to go slow with romance, while he's gungho about being her boyfriend. Their relationship starts out a bit complicated, Barbie ends up hurting Felix's feelings quite a lot, but they eventually work it out.

Barbie/Ava: Barbie has no fucking clue that liking women is even an option for her. Ava being in love with her is so fucking funny to me. I carefully curate screenshots of my Ava/Barbie playthrough that make the detective being in the closet sort of plausible and laugh and laugh and laugh at that poor dumb idiot. Or both poor dumb idiots I guess.

(The LT is also great for this, but you get to add in Nat suffering as well!)

Barbie/Tane: Tane has had a hell of a crush on Barbie ever since she started working for the Agency. She always assumed he was being an irreverent dickhead. Eventually he simps hard enough for her to be like "OH you meant all that? Okay <3"

Barbie/Elidor: They actually aren't in love, but I do love them having a marriage of convenience sometimes and being fuck buddies.

Barbie/Li-Sar: she gets a bit power hungry sometimes and has an easily stroked ego u_u

There's also a bunch of OC nonsense pairings I could go over, but this is all already pure self-indulgence, so I'll cut it there.

[thewertsearch]

UU: now consider that A1 begets A2. UU: A2 begets B1. UU: and B1 begets B2. UU: and the participants of B2 are the ones who will make an effort to exit all this tUrbUlence and falderal.

Again with this exiting. If I didn't know any better, I'd suspect that Lord English wanted these dangerous Players out of his neck of the woods as soon as humanly possible.

UU: yoU are one of them! :U UU: and yoUr yoUng ancestor is another, thoUgh she is "presently" stationed in B1.

Wait, is Umbra saying that Jade qualifies as a post-Scratch Player? She is travelling to this session as we speak, but I didn't expect her to join the game on an official basis.

Are pre-Scratch Players really allowed to just... slot themselves into the new session, if they're able to find it? That doesn't sound right - according to Scratch, the typical fate of a Scratched Player is absolute oblivion. There's something very weird going on, here.

GT: So you are still in contention that i will meet our elders as youths? UU: oh yes! ^u^ GT: Ah ha! Then i WILL be traveling through time. I knew it. GT: Or… they will be. Whichever it is. GT: Which is it, btw? UU: caUsal spoilers, sir english!

Hm.

UU is clearly omitting a lot - but for now, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. After all, giving Jake too much information would risk dooming the timeline, a dilemma that Rose struggled with before.

GT: I never got to know my grandma very well and it always seemed like she led an amazing and adventurous life. GT: Then this seemed to be proven true in my correspondence with her. So im really looking forward to it. UU: so trUe. id pay a hefty ransom to get to know my forebears. GT: I remember you mentioned your race doesnt really jive with ours familially speaking? UU: correct. i never knew those who one woUld identify as my parental eqUivalents. U_U UU: it is in the way my race propagates. oUr ancestors precede Us by millenia.

Alright, so Umbra lives in a world where trolls still reproduce via the Mother Grub. That doesn't really narrow down where she comes from, but every little helps.

GT: Miss alien i think we are like birds of a feather you and i. GT: When do i get to learn your name by the way? UU: hm trUthfUlly? UU: it may be for the best that yoU never know it. UU: it coUld stir Up some things best left in their present eqUilibriUm.

This, however, has completely stumped me.

What could possibly make Umbra's name so dangerous to know? The only theory I have is that it's an intimidating name we're already familiar with, such as Doc Scratch or Lord English - but neither of them really fit.

If nothing else, Umbra is a girl, and something tells me Lord English isn't genderfluid. (Not that I wouldn't be thrilled to be wrong.)

GT: What are we even trying to accomplish here? What is even the rootin tootin POINT of this game? […] UU: yoUr objective today is to pave the way for the arrival of gods.

It's starting to sound like all the pre-Scratch Players will be slotted into the new session. I'm not sure why that would be required, though - the troll session certainly didn't integrate the Ancestors as Players.

Jade does have all the pre-Scratch Lands, though, as well as the Battlefield.

Are we going to be shoving both sessions together, or something? That feels like something that would glitch the hell out of the game - so, in other words, it's something I really want to see.

Yokoya Days Ch 7: Kyoshi and Rangi Fight

Characters: Rangi and Kyoshi (RoK characters tbh)

Pairing: Rangshi (Mostly Rangi crushing and Kyo showing signs of attraction) and also showing Kyoshi's crush on Yun (as little as I can cause I'm biased~!)

Rating: T

Summary:

Ever wonder what Kyoshi, Rangi, and Yun were like before the whole Iceberg incident? How they first met? And so on? Aka, little episodic adventures of 14/15/16 year old Yokoyan Trio.

Canon compliant, end game pairings in the actual novel u_u

Other Sites: AO3 

A/N: TW for this chapter: fictional slurs and stereotypes (I used ones from the series). NO actual IRL slurs are used, just made up/fictional ones

And we got another uncomfy chapter :’) I dunno I feel like not only should it be explored but it’d be bound to happen? Ya got a privileged Fire National who is frustrated as all hell (and has a slight mean streak? Not that Hei or Kyo would notice that TT0TT)? And a girl who was raised to keep an open mind (Air Nomad mother and Air Nomad father figure), but is surrounded by outsider-hating Yokoyans? And they’re dumb 14 yos??? Something is BOUND to happen. TT0TT I feel like a more heated exploration is possible to happen before they become friends (maybe a more lighthearted/good natured exploration on the 4 nation stereotypes after they’re friends)?

Obvie and sadly can't go too far into it (they have to be able to bounce back after all TT0TT), but touching on it should be ok….. orz

____

Rangi dragged her pointer finger down the length of the table and then examined it. “Is this the best you can do?” she asked the nearby maid.

“Ah, well, um…” The high pitched maid, named Lanying, fumbled through her sentence. She was only a few years older than Rangi, maybe a year older than Lee. But Rangi was taller than most girls not only her age but even older (again, not including Kyoshi), and it was enough that it allowed her to slightly tower over Lanying. Making her more intimidating, causing the maid to fumble even more.

Kyoshi was hiding around the corner, clutching at the vase filled with flowers she had just come back from attending to. 

Why does she have to be here? Kyoshi sighed. The vase was large, and extra heavy with all the fresh water she just put into it. After Kyoshi fixed the flowers in the room, she was going to help Lanying with the cleaning. They’d only just started on the room after all, but the little red terror was already terrorizing them! How could they work in this environment?!

It’s too early in the morning for this. How long was I gone? What? Ten minutes? At least it felt like that… Does she think we’re superhuman with superspeed like her? Give us a break, we just finished the morning meeting. While Kyoshi could appreciate someone else who valued tidiness and timeliness, this was a little extreme even for her. Again, for spirits sake the day just began! Give them a moment to start!

Kyoshi readjusted her grip on the vase. She was in a tight spot. Yes, normally she would jump out and help her coworker out… But it was Rangi. Whenever the two of them were involved with anything, it usually spelled trouble for the coworker Kyoshi was working with. It would probably be better for Lanying if Kyoshi left and came back. 

Kyoshi would usually wonder if Rangi had a job to do (such as guarding the Avatar!), but apparently this was her job…too. To yell and instruct others. And she was damn good at it. 

It’s like she was born to yell. She’d fit better as a drill sergeant than whatever she’s doing here…

“Kyoshi!” Rangi snapped loudly, obviously reading Kyoshi’s thoughts and wanting to show off her impressive voice projection to prove a point. Regardless if she was really a mind reader or not, Kyoshi still nearly jumped out of her skin. She still couldn’t understand how Rangi was able to tell where she was despite being so sneaky. “I know you’re there, get over here!”

Kyoshi groaned inwardly and came out from around the corner. “Miss Rangi,” she bowed the best she could. The reciprocity for her politeness was a very deep scowl. 

Friendly as always. Well…at least she’s consistent. 

“Explain to me how it is you’re the only maid in this mansion who knows how to clean a damn thing!” She asked, resting a hand on her hip. 

It was hard to tell if she was complimenting Kyoshi, or just trying to insult Lanying (Kyoshi assumed the latter). Regardless, Lanying shot Kyoshi a scornful look from behind Rangi’s back, and Kyoshi couldn’t help but begin sweating. 

Is she trying to ruin my relationship with the other maids?! 

It seemed Rangi’s entire manner of operation was to just make Kyoshi’s life as difficult as possible, so she wouldn’t put it past her. But Kyoshi was pretty sure this was the eighth time the firebender had thrown one of Kyoshi’s colleagues under the caravan. And each time she did, Rangi would somehow drag Kyoshi into it. Usually to showcase where Kyoshi’s colleagues’ weaknesses lie, and how they could improve. Which did not endear Kyoshi to them at all.

Kyoshi sighed, knowing her fate was sealed. She decided she could multitask with her work while being scolded, made her way over to the table the vase belonged to, and put the heavy bastard down. She may as well attempt to salvage the situation.

“I disagree, Miss Rangi. Lanying is fantastic in what she does. We’ve only just started, it’s not fair to give us a full evaluation when we were just given the task.” 

It was the truth. 

“Hm... Still I don’t see much progress. Care to explain?” Rangi challenged both of them. 

Micromanage much? Kyoshi bit her tongue. She tried to recall everything they’d been doing up to that point.

“Well we spent a few minutes observing the area to see what we needed to tackle first, then Lanying was going to prep the area while I handled the flower situation.” Kyoshi glanced over and saw Lanying nodding her head enthusiastically. “And then once I came back we were going to tackle the whole thing together.”

Kyoshi was confident as she spoke. When it came to what she needed to do with her job and how to do it, she was always sure of herself. It was the one thing in life she was actually confident in.

“Tell me, Kyoshi, how long were you gone?” Rangi asked, looking at her nails. 

“I dunno,” Kyoshi shrugged. “Ten minutes?”

“Ten minutes?” Rangi rolled her eyes, “You were gone for nearly forty! That task was given to you over an hour ago!”

Kyoshi felt her heart stutter at the realization, and fear she was about to get in trouble. Had she really been gone that long? Ok, maybe she got a little side tracked from her main task but– She really was working the entire time! But Rangi may not know that–

“I already know where you were. You were helping Auntie Mui, Lee, and even the main gate guards were you not?” 

Kyoshi’s only response was for her eyes to widen to the size of plates. Ok, Rangi did know what she was doing… Had she been watching Kyoshi? Or did she just have eyes and ears everywhere? 

“So how is it,” Rangi continued while she started pacing the room. “How is it that you could get all of that done in that amount of time, but this one couldn’t even wipe the dust off of a table properly?”

Rangi looked at Kyoshi expectantly, as if they were conspiring together. Kyoshi really didn’t understand the firebender. 

“Listen, I’m sorry I got a bit sidetracked, but that’s not Lanying’s fault!” Kyoshi defended her coworker. She watched as Rangi’s face quickly fell from a ‘confident investigator’ persona to a pout that read ‘What the hell are you doing? Why are you undermining my words?’ “She thought I was going to be back sooner, so she didn’t want to do anything too drastic without me! What’s so hard to understand about that?”

Rangi closed her eyes in frustration and sighed. “It doesn’t matter if she had to wait for you! She should’ve figured out something to keep herself busy! She’s being paid to work, not stand around and wait! I shouldn’t have to hold everyone’s hand!” 

Kyoshi could feel herself getting irritated. She understood the need to earn her keep, but for Rangi to act as if they were machines instead of humans? Was she really so callous?

“What? Is it that this place isn’t as much of a well oiled machine as ones in the Fire Nation?” Kyoshi asked sarcastically. Gearing up for her next dig. Probably something about how Fire Nationals are (ironically) cold-hearted machines. Would explain their heartless and insensitive nature. 

Instead of a scowl that Kyoshi was expecting, Rangi’s eyes began to sparkle. “Yes, exactly,” she said, a hint (understatement) of pride radiating in her voice. “I’m so glad you understand.”

Rangi’s sudden elation took the wind and irritation out of Kyoshi’s sails, and dread started creeping up on her. 

No… Don’t look at me like that. Like I just agreed with you! It was the opposite! The opposite! Kyoshi bit her tongue, attempting to chew right through it. It seemed nothing she said in any scenario helped her in any way. She was damned if she did, damned if she didn’t.

Kyoshi could barely look at Lanying, who was certainly glaring holes into Kyoshi’s skull. ‘How dare you choose to side with the foreigner instead of backing up your own country and countryman!’ Was what she was probably thinking.

This was going to be a very awkward cleaning day.

______

The sun was high in the sky as Kyoshi pulled various weeds from the front garden. She was almost done, and when she finished, Auntie Mui said she’d make her a cool drink when she got back! She really should decline, but the sun and heat made one do crazy things.

This is the last treat, then I'm quitting cold squirrel turkey!

As Kyoshi pulled one of the final weeds, she saw two familiar blood red and black feet plant themselves next to her, facing away, and she sighed. She looked up to see Rangi, looking out, over to the main gate.

“Continue with what you’re doing, I just want to watch the show,” she said without so much as looking at Kyoshi.

Kyoshi frowned and stood up to look at whatever Rangi was watching. Her brow crinkled in confusion as she watched Lanying walking out of the mansion with some of the guards, carrying something. It looked like Lanying was trying to resist walking forward, talking with the guards very animatedly.

What on earth was going on?

“I really hate slackers,” Rangi announced out of the blue.

Then why do you act like you hate me so much? Kyoshi wasn’t a slacker, you’d think they’d get along on that front. But no. Rangi was abrasive as always.

The thought was quickly pushed away as she watched as Lanying was being escorted out to the front gate, a few of the maids following and seemingly yelling at the guards to stop. And then Lanying was thrown out. Kyoshi’s eyes widened as she realized what just happened. Lanying was fired. Was it because of this morning?

She stole a glance towards Rangi, who had a smug, self-satisfactory smile on her lips. Happy to have screwed someone out of a job. It didn’t take a detective to figure out that much.

The rage inside Kyoshi started to build from the indignation of it all. How can someone ruin another person’s livelihood like that, and look so pleased with themselves? How could Rangi lack any compassion? Was tar filled in her chest where her heart should be? Maybe that’s just how all firebenders were. They traded their ability to care about others in exchange for power. 

“Do you just like ruining people’s lives?” Kyoshi seethed, just barely managing not to raise her voice. She didn’t want to cause a scene, nor did she want to give Rangi the satisfaction.

That statement instantly wiped the smirk off of Rangi’s face, and she looked back at Kyoshi, confused. “What?”

“I asked: ‘Do you like ruining people’s lives?’” Kyoshi repeated. “Does it give you some sick joy? Destroying their income and livelihood? Knowing they may not have a meal in the future?”

“What? No. Like I said earlier, I hate slackers,” she repeated. As if that justified what she did. 

“It was just one day! She was imperfect for one day and you fired her?!”

Rangi snorted, trying to look unperturbed, but she was obviously getting angry. “Please, she never did her job. Let alone properly. She’s been lollygagging about day after day, getting other people to do her work while she thought no one was the wiser. Why would we need someone like her? Someone who’s a drain on our resources?”

“Drain on your–” that stopped Kyoshi up short. She felt sick. Yes, maybe Lanying wasn’t earning her keep like Rangi said, but to just be let go outright? Not given a warning? Not given a chance to repent and fix her behavior? Knowing one could be cut just like that... Kyoshi already thought that’s how things worked around here, feared it. But to see it working in front of her eyes? It all frightened her beyond imagination. 

She’d been right all along, despite reassurance from Kelsang and Auntie Mui. If she wasn’t careful she’d be next. Working here one moment, then cut the next with no warning, sleeping with the deer dogs on the street again. And Rangi was the greatest threat to all of that, just as Kyoshi had predicted.

“Yes,” Rangi replied, a smug smile growing back on her face. “You understand now, right? She needed to be cut loose, so we could run more efficiently!” 

But even still, Kyoshi couldn’t control her anger. Even if she could get fired. 

“Like in the Fire Nation?” Kyoshi bit out lowly.

“Yes! Like in the Fire Nation.” Rangi still had that smile on her face, unaware of the anger building inside Kyoshi. “We’re very efficient there. If you can’t pull your weight, you’re cut. Plain and simple. It keeps everyone in tip top shape and from being dragged down by dead weight. For some reason, the Earth Kingdom seems to not mind such weight, maybe it’s the rocks that you bend? I don’t understand it, but you needn’t worry, this is partially why I’m here. To fix problems like this.”

“You still shouldn’t have done that. Not like this, it wasn’t right. She should’ve been allowed to defend herself or at least get a warning.” Kyoshi gritted her teeth. “You’re just mean. A spiteful, elitist snob who doesn’t care about anyone but yourself. I just don’t understand how you take pride in cutting people down like this.”

The smile fell from Rangi’s face, cut down by Kyoshi’s words. Her eyes widened in shock before quickly forming into sharp daggers. “What?! No I’m no– Are you serious?! Are you an idiot?!” She pointed at her temple to exemplify her point.

“Maybe I am? At least I’m not someone full of hot air,” Kyoshi grumbled. 

She looked at Kyoshi incredulously, but only got a glare in response. “W–well you’re just a dipshit dirt eater!” 

Dirt eater... It was an insult that other nations had of the Earth Kingdom citizens. Probably because they thought they were poor and dirty. Uncivilized savages who ate rocks and dirt to survive. So this is what she thought of Kyoshi? Fine, Kyoshi had a feeling it was like this anyway. But at least she had confirmation now. 

Instead of Kyoshi defending herself, she decided to roll with the insult. It wasn’t untrue, at least...not in the way Rangi knew. “Maybe you’re right. Because I have eaten dirt before.”

Rangi’s face frowned slightly, uncertainty creeping onto it, not sure where Kyoshi was going with it. She wasn’t expecting that, she probably had enough sense that the dirt eater slur was a falsehood…for most people in the Earth Kingdom. But for Kyoshi, it was very much a reality.

“Sometimes it was the only thing I knew I could have for my next meal. Though I’m sure you never had to deal with something like that. Not everyone can be lucky enough to be born a rich ash–” Kyoshi stopped herself, but not quickly enough for Rangi to not know what she wanted to say. To see Rangi’s face recoiling and bracing for a verbal slap in the face. 

To be born a rich ash maker like yourself. What was the point of her slinging slurs around as well? It just made her feel dirty, and it wasn’t going to solve anything. 

Kyoshi grimaced, ashamed of herself. “You know what? No. I won’t stoop to your level,” Kyoshi spat. 

Rangi’s eyes widened and quickly looked down at the ground. Shame evident on her face. And then her jaw started flexing, and her signature scowl slowly formed on her lip; obviously annoyed she knew she was in the wrong and had no comeback. It should’ve been an ugly expression, one that reflected her inner cruelness but…no. It didn’t. Nothing Rangi did seemed to mar her beautiful features. She just looked more fierce and powerful, but beautiful nonetheless. And she probably knew that. 

Still, Kyoshi wished she could just… Just have one dig at her. She wanted to be cruel for once herself, but in a way that didn’t lower her to the same gutter as Rangi. Maybe it was petty and childish but…Rangi already had beauty, strength, money, and power. So why did she feel the need to take from others? 

“If you keep scowling like that, you’ll ruin your pretty face.” Is what Kyoshi wanted to say, to say it with so much vitriol, just to make Rangi second guess herself. To make her self-conscious. But she doubted Rangi could ever be self-conscious, it seemed like a foreign concept to her. So why bother?

Some people just have all the luck. Kyoshi thought bitterly. Life’s fairness was not equal to all. And it just felt so much more apparent when the two girls stood next to each other. 

Suddenly, Rangi’s eyes shot towards Kyoshi. Mouth opened, eyes widened, and face began to redden. Kyoshi wasn’t sure if she was shocked or angry or both. But…why?

Then Kyoshi’s eyes widened in reflection of Rangi as a realization hit her. “Did I just say that out loud?”

Kyoshi did it again, her tongue just did whatever it wanted, consequences be damned. Rangi probably thought the comment was impudent or something. 

Rangi apparently was at a loss for words too. Her cheeks puffing out. Kyoshi couldn’t tell if she was really fuming mad or…perhaps… Was she trying to avoid scowling? 

That kind of shocked Kyoshi, had her words actually affected the firebender? And why didn’t she feel the gratification she thought she'd feel? Maybe Kelsang was right, trying to bring others down was poisonous to one’s soul? Or maybe she didn’t like that she got caught? She’d have to reflect on this at a different time, namely a time that didn’t involve her skin potentially being barbecued. 

Kyoshi didn’t want to test her luck, it was best to just leave. “Please don’t kill me,” she said hastily.

With those parting words, she left the still fuming firebender to her own devices.

A/N: Me: *writes the beginning and end little bits* Oh yes, light hearted this’ll be fine. :) Me: *writing the middle part* …………gdi it wasn’t supposed to get serious orz Quick! We need to end it on a slightly lighter note! *sob*

Anyway, I wrote this one before 3 and 4 (and this was gonna come before chapter 5 ngl but *shuffles things around* it didn’t…as you can see), and I forgot about the pretty comment I made here when I did the other chapter so… *skull emoji* It’s ok, I can work with this! We’re reinforcing things I guess-I MEAN, this was all planned from the beginning! ;U Yes yes all planned, that’s right. Anyway, gonna make that topknot spiral. >:3c

“Hot air” and “rocks for brains” is more of an insult than a slur in this world (decided to avoid using rocks for brains here so it’s not tainted by future use). Dirt Eater and Ash Maker ARE actual slurs in Avatar.

“Why would Rangi say a slur tho?” Tbh, she’s an elitist (from the FN to boot!) and a dumb 14 year old, AND she’s getting used to a new culture (that may or may not be friendly towards her). And she already says a few mean things in the novels (I think mostly in RoK over SoK), but her being a little flippantly mean isn’t new. (and she may not have been exactly in the wrong for getting the lady fired, but the one person she’s trying to gain favor towards is yelling at her and now she’s just….frustrated) Aka, I think the recipe is there for her to screw up.

“Ok then what about Kyo almost saying one?” She was literally raised in Yokoya for most of her life, the same place that HATES outsiders and is a port town. I’m sure she’s heard lots of things, tho she probs doesn’t agree with them. Still, when you’re mad sometimes you want to say the worst thing that comes to mind so you can hurt the other person. At least that was the mindset I was going for. Tldr; kids who lack perception and self control to *not* do those types of things.

I dunno, I feel like it’s more interesting for them both to have some prejudice to overcome. They aren’t exactly free from the influence of their environment after all. And even tho Kyo doesn’t say the slur, she still assumes things about Rangi (esp throughout this chapter, and probs would have agreed with Rangi’s reasoning if she stepped away from her prejudice against her and fear of losing her job). So… *shrugs* both have some developing to do. It makes more sense to do it now than when they become friends tbh (or at least, I feel like it makes more sense to have these bigger misunderstandings/charged events to happen *now* than later. Because they are at their peak “I don’t understand you” phase).

(this is why I pushed it back, cause I needed a light hearted episode and this turned out not light hearted haha *sobs* Kyo you aren’t getting fired silly girl calm down ;w;/)

Kyoshi: I insulted the scary bodyguard girl, she’s probably gonna kill me… Rangi, later that night in her diary: The girl I like said I was pretty >////< Again! TT0TT

But for real, Kyoshi coming at Rangi with that one-two punch of a tonal whiplash (ง •̀_•́)ง (ง •̀_•́)—̳͟͞͞o (Now we know why Rangi finds Kyo infuriating, she pulls shit like this and then runs off TT0TT).

Cain meeting his cute younger step-brother for the first time u_u

His mother's ex drops him off on a weekend and Cain truly didn't expect a plump, blond goddess to drop by his front door in the early morning, dressed in his finest robes with the sweetest smile to ever grace his eyes.

Abel doesn't waste his time and introduces himself to Cain, who is nothing but a flustered, nervous mess.

Adam thinks its sweet how his two kids, despite being from different lovers, are getting along so well, so soon! He also thinks they should give them alone time so they can spend even more brotherly time together~! Lucifer doesn't object, as they do need buy groceries, after all.

Cain is tasked with taking care of his younger half-brother, who he thinks is sweet and innocent and doesn’t want to taint him with his taboo thoughts, not knowing that his every movements were only made to sway the older boy deeper into the pits of lust and temptation~

this thread feeds into my "Lilith is his other mommy" theory well 👀

Abel being this bodacious blond certainly explains a lot of things. It had seemed that the apple didn't fall far from the tree, one could even believe he was Adam and Lucifer's own with his cute genetics. But much to Cain's luck, they were step siblings, and he'd be meeting Abel for the first time. Cain had hoped to make an impression, but Abel pulled a fast one on him with his angelic voice, leaving him stammered in their first introduction. He certainly got his voice from his both amazing singing mamas and it showed.

Adam and Lucifer think it's the most darling sight, Cain is always curt in his dialogue so this was a first. And so, the two were left alone~

Cain does everything possible not to allude or even bring Abel in bad company. All as he believes that Abel is just too pure for this world! And in their hangouts together Abel allows for Cain to guide him about, even though he was the one actually doing the babysitting here!

The way Cain accidentally says things that could be taken out of context, it's hard not to smile about it without having other thoughts behind it~

Chapter 20, Pages 1-2

Holding my breath…!

Patreon | Ko-fi | My Tumblr | Twitter | Instagram

It's the final chapter of Arc 3!! I've been pretty busy, so it took a while to get back into the swing of things. On the same note, it's possible that the number of pages per update will dwindle back down again. U_U

Hopefully, if that does come to pass, we'll have a long stretch of multi-page updates first! And I may be getting busy, but that just means I should have lots of fun comic news to announce these next few months. ^^

@apocryphis sent: ♡ i offer xiao/venti and/or wriothesley/diluc! (they get their own ask! :3)

Send me a ♡ plus a ship and I'll tell you...

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙰𝚂𝙺𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙾𝚄𝚃 𝙵𝙸𝚁𝚂𝚃? Venti. He asked first, he asked second, he asked third. He'll ask until the end of time - to sit and talk, to watch the stars, to play hide and seek, to listen to his new composition. Xiao is the first being in a long time that Venti has wanted to be close to for no other reason than wanting it (i.e. not because it is his responsibility, or he needs to protect him.) He seeks the presence of his friends too, like Dvalin or even the Mondstadt kids, but Xiao is something else entirely. He cares about him, he loves him and he is in love.

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝚆𝙴𝙽𝚃 𝙸𝙽 𝙵𝙾𝚁 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙵𝙸𝚁𝚂𝚃 𝙺𝙸𝚂𝚂? This is a tough one. I think I've said this before: I don't see their relationship as an overly physical one. Venti is not a physical lover, because at his very core he is not a physical being so it is almost outside of his nature, though he doesn't shy away from it either. He would not kiss Xiao for a long time, but not because he consciously decides not to, it's just not a thing he thinks of doing the way mortals do. So I almost want to say.. maybe Xiao would do it first? We should talk about this!! :D

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙶𝙸𝚅𝙴𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙾𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚁 𝙽𝙸𝙲𝙺𝙽𝙰𝙼𝙴𝚂? Xiao doesn't seem the type to give nicknames, and Venti is the poet so.. I want to say if one of them comes up with one or multiple nicknames for the other, it's probably Venti. Some terms of endearment that is only known to them ^_^

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙲𝙾𝙾𝙺𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙼𝙴𝙰𝙻𝚂? The lovely restaurants around Liyue and Mondstadt! Seriously, neither of them should be allowed to cook, I feel like (?). Venti certainly shouldn't. But he will happily share his apples with Xiao, if he wants one <3

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙷𝙰𝚂 𝙱𝙴𝚃𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝚃𝙰𝚂𝚃𝙴 𝙸𝙽 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙸𝙲? Just based on the fact that Venti is a bard and music is woven into his very soul and being.. I'll say Venti. But Xiao likes his music, so clearly he has great taste in music..? ;)

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙷𝙾𝙶𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙱𝙴𝙳? That sounds more like a Venti thing. However, he doesn't really sleep the way mortals do, so he doesn't often lie on a bed in the first place. He's also small. They'll make it work u_u

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝚆𝙰𝙺𝙴𝚂 𝚄𝙿 𝙵𝙸𝚁𝚂𝚃? See above - Venti does not sleep, normally. He would watch over Xiao resting, when he does, so in that sense: Venti.

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙼𝙰𝙺𝙴𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙲𝙾𝙵𝙵𝙴𝙴? No thank you! How about some lovely apple cider instead? :D Considering all Xiao likes to eat is sweet almond tofu, I don't imagine he enjoys coffee either? That being said, Venti will procure the drinks. He has connections (Diluc sneezing in the distance).

𝚆𝙷𝙾'𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙱𝙸𝙶 𝚂𝙿𝙾𝙾𝙽? For starters, neither of them is big-- joke's aside, whenever I picture them lying somewhere together I see them next to each other or facing each other or Venti lying on top of Xiao, more so than them spooning. If they were to, however.. I'm tempted to say Xiao is more likely the bigger spoon. What do you think? :D

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝚂𝚃𝙰𝚈𝚂 𝚄𝙿 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙻𝙰𝚃𝙴𝚂𝚃? Both? Both.

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝚁𝙴𝙰𝙲𝙷𝙴𝚂 𝙵𝙾𝚁 𝚆𝙷𝙾'𝚂 𝙷𝙰𝙽𝙳? Venti, probably. This falls under the physical against, but I see him holding hands much more easily than kissing (or more). It's something he's seen the his friend the bard do and it's enjoyable. He likes the feeling of being attached like that when they walk around, or just sit, like they're trying to unite somehow while both in these (current) physical forms that aren't quite what they actually are. Perhaps if they were their true selves, they could connect in different ways, but as he is, this is how he can show his love.

𝚆𝙷𝙾'𝚂 𝙰 𝙵𝙰𝙽 𝙾𝙵 𝙿𝙳𝙰? Neither. Xiao possibly even less so? I simply don't see them pda-ing around town, for one because of the general physical thing, and then also because Xiao isn't the most public person in the first place. Their sweet and intimate moments most likely happen when nobody else is around. Venti wouldn't be ashamed to openly express or show his love while there are others around, though.

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝚂𝙽𝙾𝚁𝙴𝚂? If he does sleep or passes out drunk, Venti might snore. No sawmill snore, but an audible one. Also drool a bit. Perks of a mortal(ish) body. The thought of Xiao snoring feels like blasphemy.. correct me if wrong!?

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙶𝙴𝚃𝚂 𝙰𝙽𝙽𝙾𝚈𝙴𝙳 𝙼𝙾𝚁𝙴 𝙴𝙰𝚂𝙸𝙻𝚈? Okay this is also a tough one.. on the one hand Venti can be very annoying, on the other hand Xiao is kind of very patient with people he loves. Would he get annoyed with Venti? He gets angry but.. annoyed? Venti gets annoyed more easily (with others) in general, but I can't even imagine a scenario in which he gets annoyed WITH XIAO. Unthinkable. Xiao never has done anything wrong in his life ever and Venti has all the patience of two worlds for him.

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙸𝙽𝙸𝚃𝙸𝙰𝚃𝙴𝚂 𝚂𝙴𝚇? Okay, hear me out - and correct me if wrong. But once they actually get to that point, I almost want to guess.. Xiao. Again, the physical is not inherently Venti's desire, though he can and does enjoy it, and he would be content to flutter around Xiao like a butterfly just touching him with the brush of a breeze triggered by his wings. But Xiao? If he longs for him and seeks closeness and comfort, perhaps he's more likely to look for it in ways their current physical forms can provide? Not to say that it would always be Xiao (if this applies at all); Venti would make the first move when he feels like Xiao is in the mood for it.

𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙰𝚂𝙺𝚂 𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙵𝙾𝚁 𝚃𝙷𝙴𝙸𝚁 𝙷𝙰𝙽𝙳 𝙸𝙽 𝙼𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙸𝙰𝙶𝙴? That's not a thing for them, I'm afraid. But Venti's love is pretty much eternal.

𝙼𝚈 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙴'𝚂 𝙵𝙰𝚅𝙾𝚁𝙸𝚃𝙴 𝙼𝙴𝙼𝙾𝚁𝚈 𝙾𝙵 𝚈𝙾𝚄𝚁𝚂: The first time he found him listening to his music and felt the relief it brought him will always be a special moment to Venti. Any time Xiao smiles, however small, is a treasured memory. The first time Xiao sought him out just because.

𝙰 𝚁𝙴𝙶𝚁𝙴𝚃 𝙼𝚈 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙴 𝙷𝙰𝚂 𝚁𝙴𝙶𝙰𝚁𝙳𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝚈𝙾𝚄𝚁𝚂: A regret he will not let himself face (yet): that even if he can soothe the karmic debt, at some point they'll reach a moment where the corruption becomes too much. Even with the power of an archon he cannot heal Xiao from it entirely or return him to what he once was.

𝙸𝙵 𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚈 𝙲𝙾𝚄𝙻𝙳 𝙲𝙷𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴 𝙾𝙽𝙴 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙶: Tied to the previous question, he would free Xiao from his karmic debt and the misery of his past - if he wanted him to. He would free him from his duties too, but he knows Xiao would likely not give up doing what he does even if it will cost his life some day. Venti selfishly would want to protect him, but he knows he cannot do so forever.

𝚃𝙷𝙴𝙸𝚁 𝙻𝙾𝚅𝙴 𝙻𝙰𝙽𝙶𝚄𝙰𝙶𝙴𝚂 𝙰𝙲𝙲𝙾𝚁𝙳𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝚃𝙾 𝙼𝚈 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙴: Venti gives quality time and words of affirmation - he likes receiving gifts (ideally in the form of apples or cider) and spend time with his loved one.
