I saw your art, "First Meeting" for Kyoshi Warriors AU, and my head just went "That's Jinshi!".

How can Katara control herself in front of a person who can collapse countries?!

Why would you do this to me.

The young princess is missing.

Which is… nothing alarming or even new, as odd as it sounds. But Changxi’s mistress is not the sort to stay put in her palace and while away her days idly. In fact, it’s quite rare to find her within the palace at all. The young princess returns here once every few years, or even less; most of her time is spent out in the deep waters felling vicious monsters, or exploring the shores above the sea.

Now, this would not be unusual behavior coming from a sharp-eyed general mapping out their surroundings and establishing order in their territory. But coming from a young child?

The young princess had practically been a newborn when Lord Osial granted her the Coral Pavilion!

… But even so, blood runs true nonetheless.

Despite how Changxi’s princess had been all but abandoned since the day she was born, she easily proved through her actions what so many sea-folk furiously denied as a mistake: She was, beyond any trace of doubt, a god’s daughter.

Noble in her bearings, and possessed of great strength far beyond her years.

It shames Changxi, to recall how he’d initially regarded the young princess with cautious trepidation, and a small degree of disgust. The princess’ true form is… aberrant, certainly. But that is through no fault of her own! And appearance is quite unimportant in the grand scheme of things, especially when the princess’ character is more than enough to make up for any physical peculiarities.

Besides, if one thinks about it, the thick mane of fur is rather cute against the backdrop of gleaming white scales, isn’t it?

… Admittedly, Changxi is probably one of the extremely few among sea-kin who hold this perspective.

Overall attitudes towards the young princess are mixed. Even though Lord Osial had torn out his own scales and poured divine blood into the waves, raising an expansive underwater palace of glowing coral spires and crystal towers as a gift for his daughter, never once had his attitude towards her been anything like that of a father towards his own child. Nothing like the soft smiles for Prince Ao, or even the stern reprimands when the young prince created a mess as a troublemaker.

For the young princess, the Coral Pavilion had been the sole sign of acknowledgment from Lord Osial.

She’d never even been granted a name of her own!

A name was a sign of love and care from parent to child. Or at the very least, a tangible connection binding an individual to the blood and lineage that they hailed from.

Yet Lord Osial had never named his firstborn daughter.

Princess Su was a placeholder, a moniker that wasn’t even really a proper title despite the formal use of ‘princess.’ Because ‘Su’ is the name of the cunning fox that had deceived Lord Osial and escaped before justice was meted out. Referring to the princess by the name of her malicious mother was something that would only ever stress the blood of betrayal and deceit that ran in her veins, that marked her as something other from her sea-born brethren.

But Lord Osial had never accepted her as his daughter, had he?

There was no proper name to address the first princess by. And so, Princess Su had begun circulating as a title for her, one that had been born both out of necessity, and of an unspoken perverse desire to mock the creature that was the fruit of a false union that shamed their Lord.

When Changxi came into power as the head of all servants in the Coral Pavilion, the first thing that he’d done was ban the usage of ‘Princess Su’ on their tongues.

Within the Coral Pavilion, the princess will simply be addressed as ‘Princess,’ he’d demanded, brooking no arguments. The bloody example that he’d made of those who scoffed and refused to comply had been enough to convince the rest of them to follow.

… That is all that Changxi can do.

Because ultimately, Changxi is not a powerful general, nor an influential ally who might change Lord Osial’s mind towards his daughter. The young princess, too, does not appear to desire improving her relations with her father –which Changxi cannot fault her for, but nonetheless does not stop him from worrying.

It is only by Lord Osial’s grace that the young princess is granted the right to reside here. What happens if he one day decides to retract this?

The young princess is the reason why these waters have calmed; why old, opportunistic monsters lurking in the deep waters no longer seek to assault the borders of Lord Osial’s territory. She is also the reason why humans living on the surface have begun praying to the seas, instead of leaving and seeking the protection of other gods warring throughout the lands.

Surely if Lord Osial knows of this, he would properly acknowledge her efforts?

“You know as well as I do that the princess isn’t doing any of this for acknowledgment.” Beside him, a silver carp spirit rolls his eyes. “That’s probably the last thing she’s concerned about, really. The first thing that she’s concerned about is probably be something like, ‘What’s on the lunch menu?’”

Changxi gives his cousin a flat look. “The princess doesn’t even take her meals in the Coral Pavilion.”

“But she likes hunting, doesn’t she?” Yingfu blinks wide silver eyes back at him, innocently mischievous. “Think we’ll get to see her bite the head off of another arrogant avian adeptus? Or rather, heads?”

The nine-headed feng was not the only one who’d experienced a heart attack that day, even if it ended up being the only one to actually die in the end. “I think you have far too much free time on your hands, Yingfu.”

“I do, yeah, but what can you do about it?” Yingfu sighs. “The princess is never even around for us to serve to begin with! Which makes this an easy assignment, but it’s also so… so…”

Before Yingfu can find the word that he’s looking for, the currents around them shift and change.

Changxi immediately straightens; he is familiar with this particular chill of energy. It must be–

“Princess,” Changxi turns towards the coral archway, “You’re finally back. I sincerely welcome… your… return…”

He trails off speechlessly, staring.

In front of him, the fox-jiao shakes its head and stretches, and the rippling motion travels through the serpentine length of its body. Diamond scales glitter and dissolve into seawater, as do long strands of soft white fur, and within moments there is no longer a chimeric beast-spirit standing in front of Changxi but a little human girl. A girl with the same foam-white hair and fathomless blue eyes–

–who also happens to be holding onto a… young… bird spirit?

“Oh my,” Yingfu murmurs quietly, and Changxi completely understands his cousin. The bird spirit wears the form of a young boy, but this boy does not resemble any human child that Changxi has seen before, whether it be from small fishing villages or Lord Osial’s underwater city.

The injuries that this child is sporting, dear god. There are deep cuts and lacerations in the boy’s body that look like age-old injuries, and his arm is crooked, as if a bone hadn’t been properly set straight after breaking. Large patches of skin are a mottled purple-black, heavy bruising enough to make Changxi wonder how this boy is even standing at all.

It’s not the princess’ handiwork. Some of these injuries look to have been deliberately inflicted for the sake of torture, and the princess has never been one for prolonging suffering meaninglessly.

… In fact, now that Changxi is paying closer attention, he notes with a sharp spike of alarm that there’s an elemental imprint on the bird spirit. A clear, possessive imprint that belongs to another god!

“Princess,” he swallows roughly. “Where did you find this boy? Are you aware that he’s–”

“Fix him, Changxi.”

The words die in Changxi’s mouth as he stares at his princess. This is the princess whom he has sworn himself to; the one who had never seemed emotionally attached to anything at all around her, yet carried out her duties as if it were an ingrained instinct. Even when so many feared her, isolated her. Even when her own parents had abandoned her–

Fix him, Changxi.

… When was the last time that his princess had looked directly at him, and addressed him by name like this? When has his princess ever asked Changxi for anything?

…

Changxi bows his head, as does Yingfu beside him. 

“As you command, princess.”

Post 4 fictional characters you relate to and assume something about the previous person based on their characters [ Original ]

Thank you @nightjasmine10 for the tag! This one sounds like quite an interesting one

Eris Sinbad

Alastor Hazbin Hotel (Pilot)

Snufkin Moomin (1990 TV series)

Fluttershy My little pony: Friendship is magic

And the gifs are quite fitting too, especially the Alastor one, when it comes to the story, what we have in mind, can't help but let a smile spread from time to time. Heh Eris is more the author in me.

Thank you again @nightjasmine10! This was a fun surprise

Here's my little analysis based on your characters Hope it's somewhat fitting as I didn't know most of them

.·˚✧ Koenma (Yu Yu Hakusho) ✧˚·. You have a level head, making sure that things goes as planned, helping. You like to focus on what you enjoy, and not too much on what's outside of that. Plus, you're loyal to those you care about, always wanting the best for them.

-

.·˚✧ Peri Fairywinkle Cosma (Fairly OddParents: A New Wish) ✧˚·. Likes to add some flare to what you do. Fearful of failure and always seeking to do good. Maybe also a sprinkle of, wanting to give others a nice impression of who you are out of fear of how they might perceive you if you don't.

-

.·˚✧ Chandler Bing (Friends) ✧˚·. You're a fun one who enjoys making others laugh. It's better to bring others up with joy than down with any sorrow you may feel. Hiding behind a smile because you've learned that others just like to see the sunshine you may spread, instead of any hurt that may be in your head. Still, all in all, you're a good person.

-

.·˚✧ Monica Geller (Friends) ✧˚·. You're indeed one that likes to keep the peace. Making sure all is well, maybe even at the expense of yourself at times. You don't think yourself bad, but you sometimes have a hard time seeing all the wonder you give.

-

You know yourself well enough to keep yourself up. You know what your ideal life may be, but you can still find joy in what you have currently. Still, there are many things that could be better, but hey could be worse too, right?

In essence, you're a good person Pretty like a flower

I'm watching Tericho's latest theory video and it got me thinking about the Prototype's true intention towards the player, and maybe why he killed Catnap.

Neither Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Leg nor Catnap attacked us right away. They lurked around. Well Mommy was more directly present. But all three starts off not being a danger. I guess Catnap putting us in the trash compactor was dangerous but seeing how he loves to play cat and mouse and can immediatly be seen lurking around, I think he knew we'd get away anyways.

Added to that, Catnap tells us to leave constantly through the chapter. Not just once, not twice. He wrote everywhere that we had to leave.

We know how eagerly he obeys tye Prototype, so we can assume most of the things he does, the Prototype asked him to. Probably same for Huggy. And Mommy could have been an outlier in following the Prototype but she seemed to be scared of him enough to at least not go against him.

So my theory is that the Prototype doesn't want us dead. He just wants us to leave the factory. He had two occasions to kill us himself, yet he didn't. All three main antagonists eventually tried to kill us in the end of each chapter but Huggy ended up seemingly dead (we know he's not tho), Mommy killed by us and then retrieved by him. He didn't had the time to punish them for trying to kill us. But he did for Catnap. And i think that's why he ended up killing him. Either Catnap wasn't supposed to end us or it was punishment for failing to drive us away without coming to harm.

Poppy and the Prototype are on opposed sides, that much is clear. Poppy wants us to uncover the full truth behind Playtime Co, the Prototype wants us to leave and forget about it all.

So that means there is far more to discover down that damned Factory. Things the Prototype doesn't want us to discover.

new hc that Ethari's shadowpaw returned to him on his birthday

[anawkwardlady]

we internalized the idea that people appearing too sweet and kind can be a red flag so badly that we just assumed people being mean and inconsiderate to us must be a sign of good character and I don't know how to tell you, honesty isn't just about saying all the bad about you and saying all the good about you is not just hypocrisy because you're not rotten to the core you're just a person.

[igotthatgirlfailureinme]

this is what thinking about zoro feels like. to me.

[frameconfessions]

I don't think the Technocyte Coda "boys" are the original On-Lyne boys. I think the originals are long dead and these things are cloned from leftover DNA like hairbrushes and things like that (like one of Amir's datamined emails mentions in the mall). We know the Orokin like trying to do longevity experiments and cloning experiments later on in the timeline and if Gregory V is Alad V's ancestor, the motivations would certainly line up.
