#my cat does the same thing when im trying to pick him up

[mio-nika]

they are so dog and cat coded for me.

something small while im waiting for some stuff for the comic

inspiration is the meme under the cut

[urautismdiagnosis-wistie]

Ramble about when dashi first joined the octonauts and some kwazii because I'm biased okay- AKA DASHI IS AUTISTIC TO ME

(Also I used ur screenshots @hers-underwraps 👉👈 uhhhh hope ur school stuff went well

(I think itd be a really cool thing if she was really nervous when she first joined but gained confidence and a sense of belonging after a bit)

she was lowkey kinda anxious in general when she first joined (esp in my au since she sorta ran away from home to become an octonaut but like she was an adult so does it rlly count)

Anyways, she was like yes I can do this job but I also wanna like show how passionate and serious I am but ALSO I wanna be friends 🥺👉👈

she tried to do the thing where u act a little playful so that you can, you know! Remove any awkwardness and make some gateways into conversations and getting to know people- especially since most of the crew kinda already knew eachother (other than peso he was new as well)

I'm gonna cut to the chase and just say she didn't realize that cats wagging their tails was a sign of annoyance and not happiness 💀👍 cuz like dogs are like oh! To make a friend i must show we may have fun together! So like she was tryna look all friendly with a wagging tail and lil jumps n sht and kwazii was like 💀 yo why is she being so passive aggressive thoooooo .... also dang girl personal space 💀

like kwazii WAS tryna be welcoming and yapped a bunch, and even helped her navigate the octopod since kwazii had a hard with that at first-

but like bro wasn't prepared to get playfully punched by someone he didn't know that well 😩 (she was doing that thing where u overcompensate friendliness when ur nervous 💀🙏 and also dogs playfight alot sooo).

or her joking about getting to the good food first cuz imma be so real there's no way kwazii isn't like a little territorial about food (being stranded on an island trauma) like hes totally willing to share but do NOT suggest ur gonna TAKE his food under any circumstances even if ur playfully joking 😩

She took the initial friendless and then tried to return it in a playful way.. only for it to backfire 😔

Anyways she (AUTISM) did NOT catch that...she was like OMG im doing such a GREAT job. And kwazii was like. ..Too polite to say anything cuz he tried subtly hinting he didn't like certain stuff but, but ur honor shes autistic she ain't picking up on anything 💀👍 and then she was like 🥺 👉👈 why is he avoiding me????????????????

His pupils are big and happy and his tail is wagging so why doesn't wanna play ping pong with me anymore 🥺🥺🥺 maybe I should do more little hops to show how excited I am to be here, surely it shant be perceived negatively by a cat 🙏 (its bad in cat body language 😩😔)

anyways she totally wasn't sulking in the library when professor inkling noticed her and asked her to help her organize some of his books. Then he disappeared and she was like 🤡 well I SURE HOPE I DIDNT MESS UP AGAIN hahaha better at least finish doing the books-

Then he returned and was like 🥰🥰🥰 ah! Thank you dashi! You seem to have done quite a splendid job, sorry I took a moment to return! You see I had gotten rather distracted, you see i found some extra copies of some books! Hmmm... oh! You know, perhaps you'd enjoy them, I insist you take them! You did mention feeling as though your room was a bit empty after all, dear 🥰

And then he basically (politely) shoved her out the library and when she got back to her room she just found like 3 manuals on reading other species body language. Peso admitted that he found the same book randomly appear in his medical bag. Perhaps.... even a few other octonauts had received the book as well... (lol they all did, kwaziis adhd *ss just forgot it existed 💀)

Dw tho, it all turned out fine. Dashi had heard that kwazii was in the kitchen and went to apologize but then found him trying (and failing) to make cupcakes for her 😭😭😭 cuz he thought he wasn't bein a good matie 😔 they laughed it off tho <3

[chebyshevptera]

ok cheby after watching the season I really like what they're doing with him because it's way better than whatever that S2 was. we have inventor jay again undeniably and the others copied his wing design, and him being the equivalent of a stray dog ​​they picked up and who will bite them if they get too close and his probably the worst guest in the world <3

OUUUUHHHHHHH spoilers under cut …

i watched all the eps with him and i have to agree with u taddy. I’m really pleasantly surprised with how much justice they did him. He’s the perfect combination of a creative, strong, and capable genius mercenary and a pathetic loserboy idiot with no impulse control. They literally brought back the Jay we know and love …

I love how mysterious and serious and nonchalant he tries to be bc that’s what he thinks rogues and bounty hunters are like , but he’s simply too emotional and reactive to pull it off… 😭 and the shurikens he leaves on people’s doors to signify that he’s completed a job AKAHDJWHS … I know he does that simply because he thinks it’s cool . also the straight up admission of the fact that he’s so good that he’s commissioned FREQUENTLY by the same person (people?) AND he always gets the job done …

(also his immediate “who’s the target?” when he saw all of that money omg I know he was flustered under that mask . Wide eyes and everything😭😭😭 he’s so goofy)

as much as he takes Ls throughout this season it is nice to know he’s got a fair amount of Ws that we don’t necessarily get to see , because he was not doing well mentally or physically at all during the second half of ndr s2 . i think all of his losses make sense , because they all seem to be because of him just not thinking things through (which is very jay imo. he’s very smart, but again, no impulse control) . i mean why on earth would he fly straight into a giant hammer LOLLL . and it’s not like he was easy for them to defeat at first , which i think he deserves points for

and i loved watching him kick his teeny little lego legs in confusion before sora threw him against a tree . Goofy as hell 😭😭

i liked him being able to hack super old tech he shouldn’t have been able to hack, let alone REMOTELY?? (no matter if it was his lightning, or if he was simply able to do it, it’s cool either way. I kind of hope it WAS his lightning because that means he did in fact retain his tech manipulation, and maybe that’s something he and sora could bond over)

(also, with sora gone, nya not really being an inventor, and jay having his leg kind of … in pieces … does that mean jay and pix are gonna get to be the team’s engineers together …….🙁🙁🩷)

and the team stealing his designs is just so great to me …

his convo with nya trying to swear up and down that she doesn’t know his identity before he finally caves …

(AND his “don’t pretend you know me!” dude … he’s so tired of being manipulated)

touch averse jay is great too, I knew he was gonna be like that , but the way he jumped away from cole almost like he was more scared than weirded out makes me sick . Ohhhh my guy… my poor little kicked puppy who could snap my neck if he wanted to… Also Him curling up into a ball and demanding to be taken care of but also not letting anyone take care of him is so funny to me 😭😭

BUT YEAH. Overall? I think they did amazing with him. They acknowledged and once again showed his tech prowess, they made him an agile fighter instead of a brute force one (ALL OF HIS TRICKS AND FLIPS 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷) because as we saw in the tournament he’s not built for brute force, they made him goofy silly and pathetic, AND they still made him take Ls in ways that made sense

and yes, ur right,, he’s just a stray dog they picked up off the side of the road… (Can’t wait for him to become an annoying little cat that inconveniences them at every possible moment). the team smiling fondly at him when he’s acting like a pitiful little loser omggg they missed their little blue tech guy so much

IM ECSTATIC . TADDY THEY DID HIM SO FUCKING WELL. IM WRITHING ON THE FLOOR AND CURLING UP INTO A BALL AND CRYING HYSTERICALLY OH MY GOD MY BOY I MISSED HIM SO MUCH . JAYYY😭😭😭😭😭😭

[pureshadough]

crk reread - crispia 9 (contd.)

God, I hate Chili Pepper Cookie.

like i mean SERIOUSLY pure vanilla what in the war necessitated THIS

really makes you wonder what the progression of technology has looked like since this point or if the fall of the kingdom brought some amount of stagnation with it. ffxiv allagan empire vibes a little bit

not that i can really convey it over text of course but this thing has FANTASTIC sound design in all of the cutscenes by the way. really imposing and mechanized in a way that sells its scale

this entire argument is SUCH a good character moment for both of them but especially pure vanilla, it really forces him to confront and weigh his "status quo" values to his newer gut instincts and risky ambitions - all by way of arguing with his closest friend, no less

neither one of them is really Wrong for taking up the angle they do here (especially understanding black raisin as a character thats likely VERY traumatized and defined by what she's Lost over the years), but it nevertheless draws the line on where their paths HAVE to diverge for the good of earthbread. this is the point where the writing properly starts to demand the players attention, i think. a brief period of narrative lucidity before i have to go back to watching chili pepper say the same two sentences over and over again

fantastic cutscene thumbnail

now i don't personally think that the light of truth is Actually shadow milk at this point in the story (given the timing and how shmilk's beast yeast arc is defined by just how much he Lies about his involvement in pv's life versus how far reaching his influence actually is), but reframing these scenes to reflect that idea regardless of the canonicity is CRAZY. it gives these exchanges this new Sting to them.

like here it COMPLETELY alters the tone of LoT away from being a spectator nudging someone along the right path by way of tough love to instead be shadow milk being Just The Fucking Worst, and i wholeheartedly adore both interpretations because of it

this illustration is so evocative. The moon looming behind him as the weight of both dark enchantress' destruction and his own actions rest upon his shoulders... a benevolent leader with his arms outstretched to only the birds picking at scraps... one of my favorites so far

you ever think about just how many of his mortal friends died both during and after the war? Yeah

oomf in call watching me stream these cutscenes: heal THIS

this entire set of interactions is really funny. crepe meets a cute girl and just wants to study her like a bug in a cup

Queen shit (gender neutral)

WHAT IS A CRYOBAKING POD WHAT IS A CRYOBAKING POD WHAT IS A CRYOBAKING POD DEVSIS EXPLAIN YOURSELF!!!!

D. Does this not also contradict the notion that dark enchantress was trying to figure out where the vanilla kingdom was? She was sealed in moonstone until maybe a day ago by the way and the wafflebot attacks started "many moons ago" so When did this encounter Happen. Imagining it as a white lily figment is insanely funny because that suggests crepe just DEDUCED that DE's identity after the fact but that also doesn't work for several other reasons. Hrrrrrm.

this absolute wet cat

there is SO MUCH happening here and yet somehow I have managed to come out of this chapter with more questions than I did going into it! Incredible! Gotta love it /gen. I really did forget just how fast and loose the vanilla kingdom's lore gets if you try to examine it too closely but I'm honestly kind of just having fun filling the gaps myself knowing that they probably weren't thinking about it nearly as hard as I am now. this goofy ass video game. 10 might do a better job of filling some of these gaps given I know there's some details in this mix im probably Definitely misremembering but we'll just have to see

[professeurm]

it confuses me ngl on ppl debate on the whole soul thing with angel

this is btw not a hate post angel. i love the brooding dumbass and like any character i would talk trash affectionately lol

obv im team spuffy. if u seen my post, u would know. i love the loser, great character development and story. plus the swag and wet cat vibes

but my little bro is team bangel. he hasnt gotten to the part where spike and buffy got together yet, he's by the ep with joyce died

one argument he makes is the whole soul thing. obv he doesnt know spike got a soul, not sure what he will say about that

and i feel like this is common from what i see in the fandom and it gets me confused cuz like even if u have a soul, u are still capable of making bad decisions and being a bad person in general

and we have seen angel make a ton of bad decisions, including in the relationships he has (not only love wise). im not saying angel is bad, but bro does have an evil twin and can tune in to his killer side if needed. plus he's a vamp, thats like so normal of them to be evil. he just got a more guilty conscience now

spike has done the same with or without a soul. he's aware of what he's doing, he has made some pretty fucked up decisions. does he regert? eh, that depends on what he did

the thing with spike and angel is that spike is more laid back when he does bad things. even when he has a soul. he's a vamp, he's a monster. he knows that and accepts it. he doesn't punish himself as hard as angel does. and i feel like because of that or at least one of the reasons, ppl shit on him

but like... thats so human. like not everyone punishes themselves when they do something bad. some think about it and move on. learn from it maybe. others just like "oops i did that. anyway"

and even spike has said it in his speech to buffy (s7):

"I don’t exactly have a reputation for being a thinker; I follow my blood, which doesn’t exactly rush in the direction of my brain."

which again is completely human. not everyone is smart, or able to sympathise with others, or able to pick up "normal" social cues, or able to pick up on things quick. ppl are different. angel and spike are different.

the way they communicate, the way they interact with folks, the way they think. its not because of their soul, its who they are as a person. well dead person lol

im just saying that the whole "angel is better cuz he has a soul" agrument is completely stupid

cuz angel is a tight ass, no offence. his ass is trying to be better and punish his ass harder than he should cuz of what he did as angelus. he doesn't want to be that person again and honestly its great he's trying his best

and spike is... he's just spike. he's a dumbass rebel who is trying to do right for once. This had nothing to do with the soul. simply that he saw buffy and got inspired to be a good man. and good for him but he's still the same. difference is that he's allowing his soft side open up more, allowing himself to grow and all

[hazard-c-horror]

spawns in ur inbox with my hands politely folded. hello hazard-c-horror. it's been quite a few days now, and i've only Continued to fall down the dandy's world rabbit hole eihsihssh SO, since you're the only Other Person i know about that's Insane abt D.W *and* SAMS, i would like to throw Thoughts inspired by your SAMS x D.W au I've been having .D.

i was hella inspired by the character sheets you made for moon, eclipse, lunar, and solar, so. take some Thoughts for how sun, earth, and kc would work in the game digsgskqj

(btw- this disclaimer might be a bit silly- but idk if you already have Planned Out Stuff for these characters n their abilities n stuff, and i Apologize if you do- this isnt me trynna like take over your au or smtn, its just me being autistic dgsigaiya that being said, do with these ideas as you will, you have free reign over anything you do w them lmao)

Sun:

OKAY so yk how he can turn ppl into geese n stuff in canon? i feel like his transformation magic could actually be his ability. as a toon, he has the ability to turn either Himself or other toons into an object (like a soda can or chocolate bar) for 5-ish seconds. he could do this to Instantly de-agro any twisted's chasing either him or other toons, and the 5 second break could be just enough time for stamina to rebuild so even if the twisted does still spot the de-transformed toon again, they have more time/stamina to run and hide

THAT BEING SAID. his twisted form would be the exact Opposite of this- he'd be able to mask himself as an item and attack/agro onto any toon who'd try to pick him up. he'd be a lot like twisted rodger, just for items instead of capsules. and ofc there would be things making it obvious that the item wasn't trustworthy- like discoloration or added bits on it. if you have a keen eye, avoiding him is Easy :)

i have like a couple thoughts for his mastery item. first one that came to mind was a Cat Plush, which when equipped it has a “calming effect”, and ups your stealth up by around 10-ish percent, making it harder for twisted's to spot you. but then i also thought “haha Wine Bottle”, which i thought that (when close enough) it could instill the “confused” effect on nearby twisted's, and make it harder for them to see nearby toons. so both items would do the same thing, just go about it in different ways

Earth:

she deffo has an ability like tisha's or shelly's, where it helps out the other players instead of herself. im thinking she's able to heal others for one heart every two minutes. a basic ability, but bro methinks this game needs a healer besides teagen, who can only heal herself dosyohsshs the Easy way to go about it is that she can just.. go up to (aka Click) on another player to heal them, but she could also just have a “medical bag” on hand where she whips hella bandages out the wazoo and gives them to whoever needs em dishiaha

okay as a twisted this girl gives me MAD razzle and dazzle vibes in how she functions. but instead of sleeping, i can imagine her constantly Crying and remaining in one smalllll specific area, patrolling it, almost. she can be led away by Distractors (goob, pebble, ect), but once they've de-agroed her, she'll start slowly walking back to her patrol spot. the best way to deal with her is to have someone else agro her and lead her around while You fix the machine she's working on, or vice versa :) but you Can still beat her on a solo run, bc she has rather slow walk-speed when getting back to her patrol spot where you could beat her back to it after leading her away. it'd just be a Lot easier w multiple people digdihsah

and her item?? first thing that came to mind is a barbie doll. or just a “pink girl doll” bc. copyright sigsiszvah it would be an Active item (like the wrench or bottle of pop), where at the start of every round, she could place it down somewhere, and it makes noise, which leads the nearest twisted right to it. ofc we dont want it Too op, so once a twisted makes contact with it, its destroyed and returns back in earths inventory, ready to be used next round .D.

Killcode:

kc is a Complex one- i think this guy would have slow walk speed, but a fast run speed. so i think he'd be a good “distraction” character, like goob or pebble. HOWEVER. i think it'd be sick as *hell* if his ability, using his size, literally made it so that he could momentarily Pick Up Other Toons and carry them away from any twisted's chasing them. he'd prolly only be able to do so for 3-ish seconds, but it could be a saving grace for anyone out of stamina being chased .D.

now. as a Twisted. this👏man👏deserves👏lethal👏status👏 his name is LITERALLY KILLCODE i refuse to believe he cant one-shot a bitch sisgiaga due to him literally being a Being made to perfectly hunt/kill, i think how twisted kc would act is that he'd spawn in at the start of a new floor, a Sound Queue would play so that toons know he's on the floor. and now he's just.. somewhere. hiding. *waiting*. hes normally spawned behind corners or nearby machines, where its either easy to run into him or hard to avoid him. hes not Impossible to beat tho- i imagine he emimates a very quiet sound byte, so hes still avoidable on blackout floors, even if he's not visible. and that byte also helps on just normal floors too ofc. best way to deal with him is to listen to his sound queues and *be very aware of your surroundings*. cause if he spots someone, he is *hard* to lose, and hes lethal if he gets ya. once freed from his waiting spot, he's not going back to it. instead, he'll be moving around the map like a faster, but also Louder, dandy. Scary!!

aaand his item. i came up with a “soup ladel”. cause. heh. yk, because he volunteered in soup kitchens in canon? .D.? i think im Funny siosgiaa what it'd do is up the spawn rate of better Food/Drink items on every floor. think instead of soda cans spawning on floor 1, there's a higher/better chance for soda bottles to spawn instead .D.

. this is over 1K WORDS LONG OF AN ASK hazard im so sorry, im Unwell sigihgaisg okay now i go eep for tonight good nini honk shoo honk shoo

Why hello there. Longest inbox I’ve ever received

I love this a lot actually, and thank you for some ideas! Love the trinket ideas especially, will probably use them

I’m just be reading over this like 12 times, because I just love it

It’s also funny bc I had the same idea about Earths ability, so that’s nice. Great minds think alike

I don’t know if I’ll be incorporating Sun’s magic into this, but I did include Eclipse’s so I may use your idea. Bc I also don’t have any ideas for him at the moment

One unfortunate. KC will not be in this au, but I could make a non canon character sheet for him a Solar flare if people wish. Really like your ideas for him!

The soup ladle is my favorite for a trinket lol

In return of theses amazing ideas, I give you a sneak peek

[gffa]

Im having tons of fun crawling all over your dick grayson tag and checking out the comics you've commented on. Batman year one:scarecrow has to be my favorite bbydick and bruce dynamic lol, but also if my dad nerve pinched ME to keep me out of the fight idve gone ballistic immediately upon waking. Betcha dick made *very sure* bruce could never keep him out of a fight that way again (though i didn't quite understand what dick meant when he said he feared batman in a godfearing way? Like its a raw as hell line but i dont quite get what he meant)

Excellentttttt, there's a lot of really fun Dick Grayson comics out there, and that one is just an absolute joy. (I would also recommend One Bad Day: Mr. Freeze, because I think it captures the same feral gremlin angel baby energy of Year One: Batman/Scarecrow! But also Robin & Batman. And Batman: Dark Victory.) The art combined with the dynamic is just so top-tier:

Dick just REFUSING to be serious about Bruce's cranky moods!

Dick casually flinging himself upside down on the couch while talking to Bruce! Refusing to let Bruce snipe at him, he's serious about this, too, you know! What's making you such a pill tonight?

Dick scooting under Bruce's arm to get a better look at some evidence in their case, like he's so little! And he just WRIGGLES RIGHT IN THERE, absolutely no thought for personal space! Or leans his head right on Batman's arm to get a closer look! And that's something that will continue even when he's big as an adult, he has never met personal space of a loved one that he would not casually violate!

Hopping up on the table to curl up with his arms around his knees, like he's not a tiny baby child, and going, "Bruce, seriously, something's wrong, talk to me." as if he's the adult in this situation while sitting there like a TINY BABY CHILD.

Leaving money for a guy they just beat up!

Bruce PICKING HIM UP BY THE SCRUFF OF THE NECK like he weighs nothing, like he's just a pet cat to haul out of harm's way!

Dick trying to flirt with the receptionist and Bruce LOOMING with a cracking knuckles gesture, like if you even THINK about taking this tiny baby child seriously about how he's offering a date, it will not end well.

THEN MOVING DICK OUT OF THE WAY BY PUTTING ONE HAND ON HIS FACE AND SHOVING, I love Bruce, he's awful and the best.

Dick noticing details and asking really good questions, like that kid may not be as trained as Bruce is yet, but it definitely shows he had a natural affinity for detective work, that he's probably genuinely one of the best detectives out there after Bruce himself!

But also the "god-fearing way" and the nerve pinch lend it some nice crunch, because those moments (for all that this is a genre where these things should NOT be taking totally seriously, this is comics) are really kind of fucked up. I think, while Dick doesn't fear Bruce as a person, he can see the person Bruce is underneath the persona, there's part of him that understands Bruce is not always in control of himself and he does things he later regrets because of it. The whole mini is undercurrented with Bruce being in a bad mood, being surly and snapping, beating up people with more force than needed, slamming tables in his frustration, not talking things out. Dick sees how that plays out, it's why he keeps needling Bruce to talk to him--and Dick's not going to let any of that hold him back, he clearly feels safe enough to tease Bruce, to wriggle in under his arm, to lean on him, to snap back at him. But he also knows that Bruce can do things that are terrifying. He fears that Bruce is going to shut him out. He fears for the people in Batman's way. He knows Bruce will regret those things, but when Batman swoops down on someone he sees as being in his way, that's terrifying, like a wrathful, vengeful god. He's not really bothered by the nerve pinch, he gets why Bruce did it, and it hardly slowed him down that much. He understands that it was Bruce's way of protecting him, because he didn't want Dick to get hurt, but also I think Dick probably sees it as a challenge--to avoid it or overcome it again in the future, it's good training! Like, what a beautiful, wonderful, sweet, fucked up dynamic those two have! What a hilarious feral gremlin child he is, what an incredible "the child has to be just as mature as the adult, sometimes more mature" deliciously awful dynamic that is! Anyway, if any of you others enjoy Batman comics, please read Year One: Batman/Scarecrow, it is so funny and delightful and fucked up in a way I'm not sure it meant to be but sure is tasty as hell!

🤫

Ahem:

Dionysus hid in his own home during that time between HOO and TOA 5 like the dad in arrested development until Zeus spotted him out and about and sent him back.

Hera has a swear jar on Olympus. It’s most frequently brought out during game nights.

Hermes has the loudest, most obnoxious ring tones. Several because he has multiple phones.

Ares is directly responsible for reddit’s existence. He’s not aware of this. He’s also banned from 9897996 subreddits. He’s started double that amount.

Apollo’s main strategy of getting out of conversations with people is to pretend to text and go “uuuhhhhmm” *taptaptaptaptaptap* “weeeellll, hmmm, uuhhhhhhhh” *taptaptaptaptap* until they get angry and give up trying to talk to him.

You’re most likely to run into Hermes, Apollo and Artemis at a gym (Artemis is just there looking for potential hunters)

You might assume Ares would be there but he’s not. He’s casually dropping into arenas and hotels that athletes stay at while playing for tournaments. And sports bars. So many sports bars.

He used to go to the olympic village but he got too distracted by the games to even bother picking up potential mortal partners.

Apollo had a plant phase (“nymphs dig plants, right?”) didn’t last long.

Artemis attracts cats and does not understand why, considering she’s hanging out with wolves all the time.

Hecate likes to send her unclaimed kids those tarot “this was meant to find you” readings everywhere with specific hints that she’s connected to them, to see if they figure it out. She also will only communicate through scrying and magic rather than IM’s, and gets very offended when her children don’t pick up on it at all. Her version of “cause you’re always on that damn phone” is “You never use your intuition!!”

Hypnos has shown up in his kids’ dreams multiple times, in various forms. Hey, gotta take advantage of unseen ways of checking in on ‘em right. He’ll visit other’s children if he’s asked nicely and you catch him in the right mood. More gods have asked him to do this than they’d care to admit.

Dionysus can identify the year and grape of a wine just by hearing it poured.

Aphrodite is unapologetically on all dating apps, and is unafraid to message any of her kids she sees, as well as demigods in general, just to say hi. She’ll sometimes say something ominous as if she’s seen their interests and is making ~plans~ for their future in love. She knows they’re mortified, that’s why she does it.

I see trash canon Ares and raise you: Coach dad Ares. Your classic coach dad. He’s arguing with their actual football coaches, he’s grilling after a victory, he’s putting kids in headlocks and ruffling their hair. His leather jacket may or not crinkle due to the Werther’s originals he carries around. He does the reach around snack hand on the solstices during the presentations.

At those solstice meetings every year, the gods have a nymph secretary to whisper their kids’ names in their ear in case they forget.

Ares has had the same dog for 4000 years. Its unclear if its really the same dog he’s kept around or if he simply gets the same kind of dog every-time the last one dies and names it the same name. It’s called Thyella or “Ty” for short.

This is just like— headcanon but I like the idea of the gods not only being distant and emotionally unavailable bc they’re bad parents but also bc they’re just: extremely confused by humans. Especially modern humans. They can’t keep up. They’re perplexed at the speed at which their demigod kids pick up, and leave behind, things, phrases and trends. And they hate not knowing things, and even worse, not being considered cool by their kids (where’s the honor in that?). So they feign disinterest but the easiest way to piss them off is to make something up and go “oh you don’t know about that? Mom/Dad that’s ancient news!” When they ask what you’re talking about.

Similarly my favorite headcanon for them is that they’re deities, as in, they’re not human. They’re unquantifiable. They’re at times almost creature like? Like, they’re confusing and everchanging and Other. There’s something distinctly Not Human about them, even when they’re trying to come across as one. A mortal might find it alluring, a demigod will probably find it slightly disturbing, especially when they occasionally catch a glimpse of it in themselves.

Demigods, because of this, also come across as almost not human to others at times. There’s something off about them. Its not the ADHD, it’s not the way they never use technology. Its the way they nod sagely in class when discussing ancient myths, like they’ve met the gods themselves or quietly add “psh, yeah they wish” under their breath while watching a documentary.

Its in the way their eyes look purple if the sun hits them just right, before you blink and they go back to their usual blue.

Their reflexes that, despite being so clumsy, are freakishly good under pressure. The sheer strength they have when you know they’ve never set foot in a gym.

Its the way you remember that one time in the second grade when your buddy took a baseball to the face and still to this day you could’ve sworn there was the tiniest swirling of something shimmery reflecting in the blood dripping down over their fingers; microscopic golden specks reflecting in the fluorescent lights on the way to the nurse’s office. You never mentioned it at the time, much too caught up in the drama and excuse to leave P.E early. But you still look at them now, years later, stretching out in the sun like a plant; trying to absorb as much light as possible, scars that they never mention and never acknowledge crossing their abdomen and arms, and you wonder what that’s all about.

In the case of adults, mortals don’t necessarily know that they’re speaking to a god, but there’s something about them that just— feels off. Not bad, not always. Just something in the way they know things that doesn’t make sense. How they seem to appear out of nowhere, appearance always perfect without them even trying. They don’t sweat. They don’t blush. They never run out of things to say. They never lose their way. People seem to just bend around them, like the time the restaurant they took you to was closed early and after a short conversation, the chef reappeared to open the kitchen just for you. Or the time they scored tickets to that sold out concert, or wrestling match. It’s so odd looking back on that fling all those years ago and realising that you dont think they ever showered. Or shaved. Not that it showed on them but that’s still odd right? Or the time they chatted with someone on the phone in a language you didn’t recognize.

“What was that language?” An innocent question, this was before you thought to be suspicious of these things.

“Greek.” They answer, not meeting your eyes.

“I didn’t know your family is from Greece,” you reply, trying to think if they ever mentioned it.

“Oh, we go way back,” they say, changing the subject before you think to ask more questions.

[sparklingcid3r]

are you a tim and darry shipper? if so, PLEASE share some hcs of them

YESSIR I AM‼️ oh my days i’ve been dying to yap about them bc i’ve been obsessed 🙏 i won’t go into how i think they actually found out about each other’s man-kissing tendencies bc im thinking of writing a fic abt it (if it doesn’t happen then i’ll write abt it here lol) but here we go‼️ ooc? perchance🤫

- Incredibly private relationship. Neither of them want a single soul to know

- So naturally they get walked in on by Pony

- “You said you locked the door” “It’s not the same kind of lock we got at my place” “It’s a lock” “That you never even use” “Do you know how to lock my door?” “Do you know how to lock your door?”

- (It’s not Tim’s fault tho because not even Pony remembers which way to turn it, he’s just jiggling it until it clicks. Seriously, why would anyone need to know?)

- Darry’s idea of being romanced is coming home from work to see Tim doing the dishes while playing Darry’s favorite Ricky Nelson records in the background.

- Just sweep him off his feet, Tim, why don’t you🙄

- Fr tho acts of service is Darry’s love language, catch him SWOONING when Tim says he’ll pick up Pony from school and then come back to help him dig leaves out of the gutter. Most romantic thing anyone’s ever said to him

- Idk if Tim has a love language, but maybe it’d be quality time. Even if they aren’t saying anything, he just likes hanging out and unwinding with Darry at the end of the day

- If they haven’t been able to see each other for a while because of Darry’s long ass work days, Tim sometimes visits him during his lunch break at work, just to talk and catch up. He brings two bottles of ginger ale because he knows Darry can’t drink on the clock, but could stand to crack open a cold one

- They’ll go and watch the rodeos together when Dally is jockying and Soda’s doing saddle bronc

- One time he came home to find Tim, Pony, and Soda very heatedly yelling at the soap opera playing on the television. They made him swear to secrecy before letting him join in

- Lotsss of stab wounds in the coaster next to the couch. Darry only got it after one too many accidents with Tim not remembering that the Curtis family doesn’t just bury their blades into furniture when they’re particularly emotional

- Darry actually gets along well with Angela, they have pretty similar music taste. He’s also telling her which teachers she wants for which classes, and also the best spot to park to pull out of school quick before traffic builds up

- Darry wants to spend some time at Tim’s place, but Tim refuses nearly every time. His parents are always drunken, high crash outs when they’re home and the place is just a mess. He’s a purebred hood, but he’s also the only one trying to run a tight ship around there for his siblings’ sake

- Tim bounces around from job to job, he never really found a rhythm anywhere. Darry once sat down to help him hunt, but Tim’s better suited for odd jobs anyway, so that’s where his money rolls in from

- Definition of power couple. They’re mean asl in solo fights but put them on the same team and it’s lights out

- There’s an on-going bet on the East side about who would win in a fight between them

- Darry and Tim know about this and also get into arguments about it

- Love the idea of characters who are described as things such as “feline” or “deer-like” or “spider-like” etc etc also act like those animals, so the minute Tim was described as cat-like I knew that in my head he’s taking naps and when he gets up, he does the full body, hands in the air stretch until every bone has popped and he’s got just slightly longer canines than usual, “blink and you’ll miss it” slight. Darry thinks it’s hot

- They’ve mutually agreed to never accept gifts from each other because they’re too proud but also too insecure about money and don’t want to be leeching off the other

- Tim doesn’t sleep on the Curtis’ couch unless he’s in rough shape from a fight the night before or he wants to catch Darry in the morning, but more often than not it’s because of a fight. Pony and Soda only know about a fraction of the times Tim has done this and just think “damn darry ur bf’s gay asl for u”

Gang i love them sm it’s not even funny this is so serious for me😭🙏

[bonefall]

How are we feeling at the book finale? Because outside of the Sunbeam girlboss moment telling Berryheart just how bad of a family she was AND maybe possibly foreshadowing her rejecting Nightheart, I think we miiiight get some more Dark Forest cats than planned before :D (also I may be wrong but- didn't Podlight have children? Would he even be eligible as Medicine Cat in BB?)

Podlight's totally eligible in BB! He has no canon children and I didn't give him any. In BB there's also an interesting quirk in that Podlight is notoriously Mistystar's... not EXACTLY a good-for-nothing grandson, but a bit of a "fratboy" working through daddy issues. Is is extra funny for this cat to be a villain lmao.

Also: Better Bones RiverClan Family Tree

Anyway... my thoughts on the spoiler thread's ending. Mostly negative, unfortunately. I am really hoping that a lot of this is misrepresentation.

I've enjoyed every book of ASC that's come out so far, but if this thread is accurate, this is going to be the first one that I actively dislike. It sounds like there was a serious nosedive in quality.

ON THE ENDING; Park Cats, and The Berryheart Gathering.

Park Cats.

It is profoundly frustrating to me that we had TWO traveling books in this arc. Do they not know by now that traveling books are widely detested for a reason??

Frostpaw and Nightheart were AWAY FROM THE CONFLICT for most of this book, what the fuck?

The plot barely advanced at all. There's been one major conflict in this entire arc, the invasion of RiverClan, and we are 4/6ths of the way through without any other major battles. This is boring.

Riverstar is a major character through this bullshit, now with a magical perfect connection to Frostpaw through plot convenience so he can give her tutorial tips, because GOD FORBID we have a more grounded story for once. I'm so sick of DOTC fanservice. Was a super edition not enough?!

And speaking of Riverstar's Home, they pretty clearly ripped a lot of inspiration out of it. Frostpaw and Nightheart go on a journey with random human-related shenanigans before finding a cardboard cutout of a culture

I'm not gonna lie guys. I do not like the Park Cats. I HAVE TO SAY; It's a step in the right direction

They are not demonized. They are treated as good and legitimate. They are seen as having wisdom and living peacefully.

This is Good. This is Fine.

(im still kind of mad they needed riverstar to come save them back in riverstar's home, like every non-clan culture does apparently, but HOKAY fine ok it's fine)

.....butt.

They're boring. guys, they have one thing that is unique to them, and it's meditation. They live in perfect peace and harmony. there's nothing there.

It's easy to be a perfect, peaceful society if you have no conflict ever.

IF THE SPOILER THREAD IS ACCURATE, we don't see them address strife, how they DO handle disputes, what DOES happen when a cat engages in "criminality," or even really see what their spiritual beliefs are besides "meditating"

And that's why the idea of Frostpaw taking away a good lesson from living with them strikes me as so hollow. WHAT is she taking from them? JUST vague, quiet meditation?? Why couldn't Riverstar just magically teach her that?

It also bothers me that this culture is exactly the same as it was in Riverstar's Home. It's in stasis. Nothing has changed, nothing has grown, they haven't picked up new customs. They don't even seem to have their own history besides remembering that Riverstar showed up generations ago.

It's not a culture, it's a plot device.

I swear, I'm really trying to like them, but RH left this really sour taste in my mouth and them showing up again in this book has only made me more frustrated.

I AM happy that we're going to maybe start trying to address the violence of Clan Culture, but it is coming in the middle of a book where nothing fucking happens, and they're starting to fumble the bag on the xenophobic radicalization that I'd been praising in the past few books

And by that, I'm referring to...

Berryheart's Gathering

through the books so far, I've been praising the slow rise of tension coming from the radicalized members of ShadowClan.

I think the way that Berryheart and her little Concern Club had been slowly escalating in their bigotry and violence was (and remains) unironically fantastic.

We had started off with it just being a group to "discuss the issues," which evolved into active bullying and harassment, progressed into attempted murder, and we left off on the idea that Berryheart's Hate Group was planning something with RiverClan's murder party.

And we are reaching a turning point in that arc, the payoff of a long and well-laid escalation, with...

normal democracy.

berryheart and her supporters approach puddleshine reasonably with their concerns and intent to call for a vote to depose tigerheartstar. doing the thing the fucking code addition was made for

This comes AFTER Sunbeam has a Girlboss Moment telling off Berryheart for being a bad mom in front of the whole gathering and everyone claps, mind you, so this is clearly supposed to be the narrative's big "oooo consequences for Berryheart" moment

So anyway Berryheart brings up that they want tigerHeartstar deposed, and then Puddleshine's like "haHA THIS WAS A ROUSE"

"Actually I only told you i agree to point out how this code addition can be exploited over a disagreement with ONE issue!!!!1"

i just...

im......

would Brokenstar training babies be One Issue? Would Bramblefake being a bully to his entire clan be One Issue? Would Leopardstar allowing Tigerstar to take over RiverClan be One Issue?

One Issue....

And MIND YOU I'm Pro-tigerHeartstar, actually, but the WHOLE fucking point of the rule is that you can depose someone who is not acting in the best interest of the Clans. Fym ONE ISSUE??

IT'S A BIG ASS ISSUE!

So anyway Berryheart is embarrassed in front of everyone, tigerHeartstar tells the group, "You're going to support me or get out of my Clan"

All of her supporters fall in line, but Berryheart chooses exile.

So Berryheart and her group isn't punished for the hate crimes, it didn't lead to anyone getting actually hurt, this faction of cats just settled back down and Berryheart alone was exiled for political opposition to occupation.

not the hate crimes

GOTTA STRESS

The hate crimes did not cause lasting damage, the radicalized group did not cause any violence at this gathering

Berryheart is exiled for political opposition to occupation.

The consequence she faces for the hate crimes was simply not having her son Spireclaw back her up because she caused trouble for Fringewhisker. Like it's on the same level as being a bad in-law and not ATTEMPTED MURDER BASED ON BIGOTRY

And tigerHeartstar, jesus christ

His consistent trait has been becoming unreasonable WHEN HIS FAMILY IS THREATENED. WHY are we tossing this out the window now?

I REALLY REALLY hope that the spoiler thread is misrepresentation, and tigerHeartstar didn't ACTUALLY exile her but said something like, "this is what we're doing. don't like it, leave. you don't have the votes"

SO FOR NOW; I'm going to reserve judgement on what the writers are doing with tigerHeartstar.

This seems like the exact sort of thing that may be worded in an inaccurate way

But that said,

I'm beside myself with disappointment in this turn of events. Why is this about legitimate political proceedings? Why did they make the CULMINATION of this arc about bigoted violence and radicalization a legitimate, peaceful attempt to use the process THEY JUST ADDED, FOR THIS EXACT PURPOSE?

Anyway, then it ends on a cliffhanger

Podlight claims to be the new medcat, pointed out as just being a political maneuver, to appoint Splashtail as the new leader.

Frostpaw watches on in shock and thinks about how bad it is that a murderer is now in charge of RiverClan, and how no one would believe her if she told them all now

I sure hope the next book contains something worth reading. like a fight or something. in the battle cat series. in the arc where theyre trying to say something about violence.

link click bridon episode 4 reaction n thoughts

i need a moment to like process this cause i was worried id have to step away for a bit and miss something and need to take time to wait for it to appear on crunchyroll and rewatch cause i was expecting food so i was doing this weird thing of trying to watch but also trying to be in the prime position to run to the door as fast as possible 😭😭😭

...and then it arrived while i was in the middle of writing this lMFAO okay

i think ive already mentioned this but is it just me who finds veins english like really hot what??? its hot but also im a vein hater like sir you killed my favorite thats not cool

'you look tasty' !?!?!?!?!?!?

also oh god cxs discovering his power

the dread i felt at the same time as lu guang the moment cxs disappeared like

'wait. that looked like when he uses his power' and then i realized he clapped like oh my god

also oh my god cxs no baby please :(

i was like this back at episode one but i was like they need to give him a break

but like. they do but then cxs is like no i want to save people and then he gets traumatized like holy fuck

i cant imagine how it'd feel to suddenly be in someone else's body. in the past. in the photo. you hear your dad's name. and. then you die?

and was that his parents dying?

actually did the body he was in die? cause if so then how did that person take a photo and upload it to social media? or was it like immediately after taking the photo? i didnt think it was like that but idk i mightve missed it

also me cringing a little every time in time travel someone does something thats obviously out of character or not right so when cxs said 'dad' i was just like AHGHGSUIHFSIUFAIU

.........what if his dad had powers though

like we dont know how they got their powers, we know it can be transferred to someone via death and handholding (although its unknown if it can be transferred while someone is still alive)

what if it was some secret haha i actually know youre my son

also LMFAO cat pajamas make a comeback bruhs had that for how many years?? when sick or injured theyre the way to go

also the way i was like ??? ?what are you doing lu guang when he called cxs with cats like are you allergic or something

which is dumb because there was like elizabeth in the shorts why would he be i was just so confused

then its like oh

man people do stuff that seems really dumb for time travel sake and im just sat here like it makes sense but also how does this long to an outsider like

imagine cxs saw lu guang in the car like ??? what are you doing????

also lu guang sweetie please be careful with your expressions youre giving it all away i know you probably have valid reasons to dislike liu xiao but please 😭😭😭

actually wait no im an idiot isnt liu xiao's power like hearing heartbeats? or did i misremember?? so hed know something was up anyway like hm why did this persons heart pick up?

also cxs like lu guang what are you doing ????? had me so stressed like oh god please dont have them fight please dont have them fight THEN LU GUANG COLLAPSED and its ah so thats where that clip is from hahahahahahah (in like the ep teaser)

uh what else uhm

i mean. i understand lu guang wanting to stay as close to what happened in the past, especially cause if things change then his future knowledge is useless

but things are changing. and its like. i mean. yeah. theres room for changes in between so long as the node remains unchanged and things that were up to luck in the past were also up to luck now and ended up changing things

i just wonder how it changed so bad that liu xiao did something and interrupted them with the news.

like it could be attributed to because its not the same, lu guang has future memories and hes in the past now but..

for what reason did it seemingly not happen before?

it makes me wonder if liu xiao might have an inkling of a previous timeline of sorts

also makes me wonder how in the first place vein knew they of the other timeline were messing with time or some shit and came after them..

aghhh theres so many questions

episode 5 preview what the what was going on

cxs getting bullied and cant fight back💀 i mean he'd already been bullied before right cause his parents were missing so people were bullying him for it

but still

i dont want him to suffer :((((

also another on the list of link click's tragic female characters who have a really shitty life and dont get a happy ending because link click doesnt know what a happy ending is probably???

maybe? i wonder.

WHO IS THIS

MISTAKES?? WHAT MISTAKES???

CXS WHY DO YOU LOOK SO STRESSED WHAT DID YOU REALIZE

New company

TWISTED WONDERLAND FIC WITH YUI KOMORI GETTING ISKIED PART 2. THIS PART INCLUDES YUI GOING INTO RAMSHCAKLE MEETING THE GHOST ETC. YES, I SKIPED A LOT! OK IM STRESSED OUT WITH SCHOOL AND ALL THESE FAN FICS AND AU'S :C

"Isn't it delightful? Right, scoot inside now. There you go!

Crowley said pushing her into the building.

"Well, I should go finish up my research! Find some way to keep yourself busy here Yui. But don't let me catch you wandering the campus!"

And with that he left. Yui looked around the room. And my gosh was it horrible! The tables were knocked over. There were cobwebs around the rooms and tables. Some of the portraits were on the ground or crooked and in bad condition like the rest of this place. She knew that he said it would be a bit dirty and demolished considering it was an old building. But she didn't expect it to be THIS BAD! There wasn't even a clean place for her to sit down at!

"Oh, it's raining...? The weather was fine a few moments ago..."

she mumbled. It was pouring outside let's just hope lighting doesn't start. Before she could do anything else. Someone started screaming outside.

"GAWHHH! ITS POURING BAD OUT HERE!"

The creature said before running up to the doorway of the building. From a closer look it was the same creature Yui saw earlier! The cat!

"Eh? What are you doing in here!"

Before she could say anything else. She was interrupted. Again.

"HAHAHAH! The look on your face is absolutely priceless! Like a bat that got blasted in the face with a water gun!"

The creature said in more of a playful tone.

"Hey, didn't Crowley kick you out!?"

"As if I wouldn't just sneak back into campus the second, I escaped pyrin' eyes. You all got no idea what Grim the great is capable of!! I am not giving up on going to this school just because I got kicked out one time! And if you think otherwise, you don't know Grim!"

The creature called Grim said proudly. What's up with this school and the people having weird names! I mean either this "Grim" creature has that name as a nickname, or its parents messed up. And let's not forget the headmaster's name. What kind of name is Crowely? But I'm not here to judge others that's not the right thing!

"I'm curious... Why are you so determined to go to this school?"

Yui said with curiosity. I mean how good is this school for someone to break in just because they want to be a student?

"Isn't it obvious? I was born to do this! Born to become a magical prodigy! I'm going to become the greatest mage who ever lived!"

Grim said with such confidence.

"So, I've been waiting for the dark carriage to come and get me for ages and ages! And yet... HMPPH That dark mirror got no eye for talent! So, I had to take matters into my own hands and come here myself! Humans don't understand what mistake there making! Not letting me in is a great loss to the world!"

Grim said egotistically. Again, he remined her of someone. Ugh if only her memories just came back right now!

"C'mon, scoot over! I'm getting drenched over here!"

Grim said impatiently

"Oh, I'm sorry you can come in!"

Yui said. She didn't want him to get sick even though he was rude to her earlier. Besides a little company wouldn't hurt?

"Bawah! Another hole in the roof! These flaming ears are like my trademark y'know? I can't let them get doused!"

"Well good luck trying to not get them wet! The celling is practically covered with holes!"

Yui said. Why was he acting like it was her fault?

"I don't get why you can't just use magic on those holes? You could have fixed them in a jiff."

Grim said slightly confused before he spoke again seemingly having realized something.

"Oh yeah! You can't use magic AT ALL! Pfftt. Oh man your useless!"

Grim said mockingly. Why does he talk so rudely when he's just a talking cat. I mean anyone can technically just pick him up and fling him across the room!

"Hmph then why don't you do it!"

Yui said confidently.

"Heh? You want me to help YOU? Ha! You got the wrong idea. I'm just a stranger taking shelter from the rain. You're not the boss of me! Well... If you had cans of tuna to trade. That would be a different story since I don't work for free!"

Grim said

"Uhm ok... I'm going to find some buckets for these leaks since there getting bad."

Yui said before walking away into the hallway. Grim didn't follow her. I mean why would he? And gosh this place was creepy... I mean its abandoned so it's going to be creepy.

"What was that!"

Yui said. She had just heard something fall but there was nothing there! Next thing she knew someone or something was laughing.

"Yee hee hee... Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!!

"We haven't had visitors in ages!!!"

"Oh, I'm just itching for some new friends!"

From the sounds of it there was three of them. Crowley said this place was abandoned so no one should be here. So why is there three unknown people! But she finally got to see them. And it wasn't people it was GHOST!

"AHHHH!!"

Yui screamed as loud as she could. Her body should have gone into flight mode. Yet she just stood there screaming like an idiot.

"Hey, keep it down over there--AAAH GHOSTS! GHOOOOOST!!!"

Grim jumped up in the air once he saw them. The hair on his body standing.

"All the people who used to live here got scared and ran away"

The ghost said (Ghost B)

"We just want a new ghost to play with. What do you say buddy!?"

The other ghost said (Ghost C)

"HELP THERE GONNA KILL US!"

Yui yelled still standing there. Why weren't her legs moving! Why was she just frozen in fear. She wanted to run. To do anything to get her out of this mess.

"EEEEP!"

Grim also seemed scared and was shivering yet he still decided to speak up trying to hide the fact he was shivering.

"I'm a m-...mighty sor-... sorcerer... And I'm defiantly not afraid of some dumb ghost!"

"MYAHH"

Grim yelled unleashing his fire powers trying to burn or hurt the ghosts. Which is kind of dumb like how can you hurt the already dead?

"Over here"

The ghost said teasing him while dodging his attacks

"Grim you can't be aiming with your eyes closed you're going to set the whole dorm ablaze!"

Yui yelled. At this rate if he didn't stop the flames would go out of control.

"Shut up! I don't need any lip form you, human!"

Grim yelled back. Yui had an idea to get rid of these pesky ghosts.

"Hey Grim maybe the head mage will let you enroll if you get rid of them?"

Yui said.

(I'm pretty sure after this the fight thing happens in the game and I'm too lazy to write that and I just want to finish this part as quick as possible so let's just do a little time skip to after the fight)

"We got to go before we disappear for good!"

The three ghost said in unison. Before somehow vanishing into thin air

"H-huh did we win?"

Grim said exhaustingly

"You did amazing Grim!

Yui said bowing her head slightly.

"Aw geez I was scared out of my wits! Uhm, I mean... They didn't scare me one bit! It was just a walk in the park for a mage as great as me! What do you have to say ghosties? Ah ha Thats right NOTHING!"

Grim said with his head held high proudly. But someone footsteps could be heard and then the duo heard Crowley's voice.

"Good evening. In another gesture of my immense kindness! I have brought you dinner! Wait... Thats the creature we ejected out of campus for causing trouble. What is it doing here?!"

"I was takin care of your ghost problem, that's what. You're welcome, by the way!"

Grim replied

"What is the meaning of this Yui?"

But again, before she could reply Crowley started speaking. Again.

"But you know on the topic I do seem to recall that this dorm has a ghost problem. Thats why it was abandoned in fact the ghost scared away all the children. And you're saying that you two joined forces to drive them away?"

"Joined forces isn't how ii would describe it. More like I drove them away and the human just stood frozen and watched! And I only did it cause i wanted some tuna. Wait a minute I never got the tuna you promised!"

Grim argued

"Would you demonstrate how you fought the ghost Grim?"

(AGAIN, ANOTHER FIGHTIING THING SO IM GONNA SKIP THIS PART TO AFTER ITS FINISHED)

"...Well?"

Grim panted

"Incredible... I never saw anything like it! I must confess, my educator's intuition did sense something about you after the orientation Yui"

Crowley said

"What was it?'

Yui asked.

"I could tell you had a certain animal trainer-y beast master-ish quality to you. Oh yes. That said I *mumble mumble*"

Crowley said. Yui couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, but she had to move on!

"Uhm headmaster...Would it be possible for Grim to say with me?"

Yui asked. Sure, Grim was a bit rude. But she wanted some sort of company in this strange world. I mean she doesn't really know anyone. So, company wouldn't hurt at all!

"WHAT? A monster, stay HERE?"

Crowley said

"Whoa did you just call me a MON-"

Grim got interrupted by Yui before he could finish.

"Please sir? I'd be quite lonely without company. And what if there's more ghost!?"

"Hmmm I suppose I cannot deny your plea. *Sigh* Very well he can stay."

Crowley said reluctantly

"Myah?! Really?"

Grim said happily

"Let me be clear! Under no circumstances would I admit anyone to Night Raven College who has not been selected by the dark mirror eclectically not a monster! Nor do I allow you, Yui, to freeload until you are able to return home"

Crowley said sternly with no room for negotiation

"Hrmph. I should have never gotten my hopes up..."

Grim said defeated.

"Now allow me to explain. It was the dark mirror that transported you here. Therefore, the school does bear some responsibility for your well-being. So, I will allow you to remain in this dorm free of charge! However, you will need to pay for your own food, clothing and incidentals"

Crowley said.

"Uhm but how will I get the money for that?"

Yui asked. I mean she doesn't have a job, nor does she have any experience so how will she get money for those niceties.

"As to how you will do so, penniless as you are... Ah. Ah ha. Yes, a fine plan..."

Crowley said. The last few words were just him talking to himself.

"...Sir what are you planning to make me do?"

Yui asked. She didn't like that tone of voice he had while he was talking to himself.

"You don't need to seem so alarmed Yui! I'm simply going to ask you to do a few odd jobs around campus. From what you've done here, Yui, I can tell you know your way around a broom. So, what do you two say about working together as a janitorial team? If you agree to that I shall make an expectation and allow you both to remain on campus I will also allow you to go to the library so that you may study and research ways to return home. How boundlessly charitable I am!"

Crowley said

"WHAT KIND OF DEAL IS THAT??! I wanted to wear one of those sweet uniforms and be a student not sweep up people junk!"

Grim said angrily

"If you're not happy with the offer I can have you thrown out again :) and I'm sure you don't want that?"

"Fine fine I'll do it!"

Grim said.

"I'll do it to..."

Yui said. I mean she needs the money otherwise she wouldn't be able to pay for stuff etc.

"WONDERFUL! Then I shall beseech you both... To work hard as the newest members of Night Raven College's janitorial staff!

Crowley said with enthusiasm as if he was in desperate need of a janitor for this school. Yui and Grim wouldn't really like this job but it will make do for the time being!

To be continued...

[obsoleteozymandias]

hello!! i'd like to request a twisted wonderland matchup if ur still doing them! if not that's totally cool :) feel free to ignore this!!

here's my info!!

i use any pronouns and i'm aroace irl, but i still like fictional characters LOL. my mbti is intp, and my "big three" zodiacs are pisces sun, aries moon, and sagittarius rising.

personality: for how i'd describe myself, i'd definitely say i try my best to be optimistic about things. whenever i ask people if my personality is the sun or the moon, they usually say i'm the sun LOL. i've been told that i have a relaxing voice and that i have a comforting presence. from my perspective, i'm decently quiet and shy and i get pretty nervous talking to new people irl, but once the conversation gets going, i can talk to anyone just fine. i tend to be agreeable, and i think i'm pretty easy to talk to. my friends say i'm a sweet person , but that i also seem to get lost in my thoughts a lot or daydream often. i've also been told by many people that i'm pretty funny, and my humor tends to rely on a mix of my vocabulary and the latest trends. i'm playful and silly by nature, often teasing my friends and goofing around, but i'm also capable of providing genuine advice and comfort to people if they need me to. i like a lot of playful banter in my life. i've also been told that i'm trustworthy and reliable whenever i work with other people. additionally, i'm more detail-oriented, mainly because i like to go in-depth and consider things with logic if i can. but, at the same time, i can be a bit impatient and impulsive if i really want something, but not so much that i do anything too reckless, if that makes sense LOL.

likes: psychology (so much so that i want to pursue a career in it), astrology, history, playing video games (mainly roblox, cookie run kingdom, the persona series, and twst), sweet stuff and candy, watching the sunrise, sleeping / taking naps, cats, listening to music

dislikes: bugs (i'm terrified of them ☹️ just the thought of touching them makes me shudder with fear), dirty rooms, injustice, canned green beans (i gagged last time i ate them 😭), singing in front of other people, dancing (only bcuz i'm really bad at it and it's embarrassing, LOL), overly arrogant people or people who think they're "above" me

hobbies: i spend a lot of my free time on my phone and in my room. i don't go to new places often, but i love to play games with my friends and chat on the phone. occasionally, i'll try out a new makeup look that i find online since i'm somewhat into beauty stuff. i usually spend a couple hours a day on tiktok (my attention span is cooked 🙁), but lately i've been trying to get back into drawing or painting!! i want to utilize a bit more of my creativity instead of just sitting around all day LOL. additionally, i'm a bit of a clean freak, so if a room in my house is getting a bit dusty, i'll dedicate a few hours to cleaning it up and reorganizing.

extra: im super sorry if this ended up being rlly long 😭 tysm for ur time!!

Extra info means extra points to write about no need to apologize!

Rook sees your inner beauty, as he does with most people, right away. The instant he meets you he’s going on about how lovely you look, and how your shyness hides away a vivid personality. 

How does he know these things? Pure instinct. But it’s a refined and usually correct instinct, so make of that what you will. 

He flutters around you day in and day out, asking you questions and testing you reactions to anything and everything. He’s a bit overwhelming at first, but once you really get to know him, he’s a reliable friend and always there to pick you up when you’re feeling down. 

He’s also taken by your interest in psychology. He himself is very observant and notices quite a lot about others that they don’t even know, and so the study of how the mind works fasniates him. If you tell him a factoid or two about psychology, and how you think it applies to one of your classmates or peers, he’ll be thrilled and praise you for your intelligence. 

Once you get close, he’ll often bring out the playful and silly side of you, absolutely taken with your smile and the sound of your laughter. Perhaps it’s then when he realizes that he’s fallen for you.

Confession: 

Rook is a romantic, sure, but he’s also knowledgable about your tastes and preferences. If you’d want a beautiful confession by moonlight, him singing a ballad beneath your window, then you’d get that. If you’d want a small and intimate confession, him gazing into your eyes lovingly, you’d get that. Whatever it was, two things would be certain: it would be terribly romantic, and it would be perfect. 

Relationship:

Whatever hobbies you have, Rook will absolutely be a part of them now. You want to draw? He’ll be your model, or watch you as you create! Playing video games? He’ll be your player 2! Whatever it is, he enjoys it, so long as he gets to be by your side. 

He hides his emotions fairly well from others around him, but when he’s around you, he tends to let you in on some of the smaller or more negative things he feels. It’s here that he appreciates the part of you that gives good advice. 

In turn, he’s always a willing confidant, and absolutely will tell you if you need to take a break from being the school’s therapist. 

He won’t just tell you: he’ll scoop you up and run away with you if needed, laughing like a madman and cuddling you so you wouldn’t be able to escape.

One thing is certain: whatever challenges or trials you face in life, Rook will be there to help you through them.

caught up with cringetober because I literally forgot to do it, individuals and explanations under cut

Day 1: Heterochromia I’ve come to the revaluation that my sona is already cringe as hell considering not only can his entire body change color but he also has differently colored eyes as a staple of his design. They’re usually yellow and blue but this time I color picked the blue from the trans flag and the mint from the Vincian flag for this color palette, it turned out really pretty :)

Day 2: Self Insert Now she isn’t my self insert anymore, but back in the day when I was at “peak cringe” she definitely was. This is my warriors OC Icypelt and I have a post going over part of her story on my profile somewhere. She’s been through a lot and I think her modern design is very pretty :)

Day 3: Unnecessarily complex fit/design Spider scene is kinda infamous in my brain for having wayyy too much detail but I love them and I think this might be my favorite one out of this batch, super cute, the pose is really cute and the colors are nice and fits her really well :D

day 4: Angel x Devil inevitable MCR reference ik, Helena and Revenge, love them dearly. Poor revenge man this one is cute and looks like a sticker!!

Day 6 (I skipped day 5 because I didn’t want to open up ms paint today): neko i kinda hate this one but cat Gerard yay

Day 7: Pinterest base at first I wanted to draw hobie in place of Gwen but I remembered that I haven’t really drawn Mikey with her even though they’re supposed to be friends so I drew her instead. Idk. The height difference is not accurate because of that but Jumping Spider is small because he’s based on a jumping spider and those are tiny who would have thought

Day 8: tumblr sexyman i have never played undertale a day in my life i just know a lot of people wanted to jump sans’ bones

day 9: Crossover ship/rarepair OH BOY THIS ONE GOES KIND OF HARD AND IM EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY KIND OF WORK FOR EACH OTHER UM MIGUEL OHARA X CLOTTED CREAM COOKIE IM INSANE OMG-

day 10: fursona i already have a fursona I already drew and yes I colorpicked from the lesbian flag how could you tell /j

Day 11: Yandere LYLA is technically canonically a yandere because spoiler alert she tried to kill Miguel’s fiancé via overheating her in the shower (essentially literally boiling her like a lobster) because she was “in love” with him (she said if she did have autonomy and had feelings the would be in love with him but she doesn’t but idk who knows I don’t).

day 12: niche interest ik MCR isn’t exactly “niche” but the black parades story in particular has always caught my interest and I have my own interpretation of it and a whole kind of story I’m still developing and character arcs and headcanons and interactions and yeah you get it, death in particular has evolved into god knows an OC on his own I just keep him attached to MCR because… it makes more sense that way, ig-

day 13: creepypasta does this count- whatever grimdark is just the same thing as a creepypasta- I’m not really in the MLP fandom anymore but it was my first ever “fandom” I was actually apart of. My first hyperfixation if you will. I wasn’t in the grimdark part of the fandom because I was too young for it but I was actually watching the izzzyzzz grimdark video and I was like “oh” and drew a rainbow factory Rainbowdash. Honestly I should draw ponies more they’re fun to draw

Day 14: candygore (?) im not good at drawing candygore and since I was rushing this o didn’t do it as well as I thought I can, but it still turned out pretty cool

Day 15: song lyrics aaaa inevitable hesitant alien drawing this one turned out so cute!! The colors and the sparkle eek so cute aaa action cat lyrics I’m breaking down right in front of you I’m sorry

planning on doing the rest of the month now, maybe not exactly on time since I’m still in school but I’ll try to get 31 drawings out by Halloween. Love the idea of cringetober because I just love all things cringe. Ack this is so good

Something to think about on this fine day....

Shinou has to get a vaccine. He hates vaccines. You make them more fun with bandaids in the most absurd colors and designs.

But what designs does he pick to put on your arm when you get your vaccine?

dira ur making my brain go crazy !!!!! that is the cutest little thing in thE WORLD !!! i couldnt help but write a little smth for that 🥺🥺

its 715 words and i dont mention the needles or go into detail abt the vaccine itself !! 🧡✨

ty for inspiring me my beloved !!! its good to get out of the one-track-mind i get in when i work on One Project ! 🥹🧡✨

(also all this is written on my phone, i havent had energy to proof read as it just came quickly to me !!! 🧡)

"hitoshi, get up." you playfully smack at his forearm but all it does is make him curl more in on himself. you snort a laugh and when you try to get your hands underneath the blanket to tickle him, your cat Soup joins the fray. you sit back on your haunches with a raised brow, "you can't hide in there forever. we have to leave in a few minutes."

a sound between a groan and a whine is heard from the pile in front of you before he dramatically throws the duvet off of him and spreads his arms fully onto the bed, "I don't wanna." he moans with his eyes glued shut. you shake your head at his childish antics from his valid fear, "i know baby but you gotta. im in the high risk group, right? and with your job you-" he starts blabbering noises to make you stop before he admits with a pout, "i know.."

you lean down and kiss his forehead, "is there a way i can make this easier? a treat from starbucks on the way back? a muffin from the bakery?"

shinsou huffs, "y'kno we have shared economy, right?"

you roll your eyes, "it's the act of me buying it for you, not the actual money spent."

he blows you a raspberry. you laugh and kiss his nose, "what if we bring our own band-aids? the ones you love with the kittens?"

shinsou's eyes show his earnest excitement about that when he tries to steel his expression. then, he grabs your cheeks with his hands and looks into your eyes, a serious expression painted in his features, "will you put it on me?"

you smile, "if they let me."

it makes it easier. you're also incredibly lucky that the lady vaccinating the both of you is incredibly kind and patient. she lets you go first to show shinsou that it isn't that scary and she lets him put on a band-aid on you if he sanitizes his hands first, which is a good step for him to know that she'll let you do the same when it's his turn. he spent a few minutes debating which band-aids each of you should get and when you see what he put on you, you can't help but coo at him.

it's the one with the black cat that looks like his old cat, the one aizawa and yamada had back when he moved in with them - he's been very careful about when those band-aids are to be used lest they run out, but here he is, willingly putting one on you.

for himself, he's chosen the one that he knows is your favorite. it's the one with the cat you think is the cutest because of the pose. the doctor goes through each step carefully for shinsou as you hold his hand and keep his eyes focused on you.

it's honestly over before he realizes, but he squeezes your hand a moment longer than necessary, as if to silently thank you for being there through his odd anxiety (you don't think it's half as odd as he thinks himself). he only lets go when you need your hand to put on the band-aid.

he sighs out in relief after you've put it on, but let out a surprised yelp when you pat the area after you've put on the band-aid. you heave in a quick breath before you apologize, "i'm so sorry babe that was reflex! i didn't mean to.. oh god, it didn't hurt too bad right?"

he ends up just laughing at you, "you're really hurting me after i've gone through this?"

on the way out you're holding hands, your thumb caressing the hand in yours, reminding him you're here and that he was very brave. when you prompt him about which reward he would like, he scratches the back of his neck as he admits, "i'd like both the coffee and the muffin.. and a kiss."

you happily oblige to all three wishes, only teasing him about being greedy but promising him you'll never deprive him from what he wants. it's a successful day.

you're not sure how to tell him that he'll need to repeat it next year. you'll wait at least 10-11 months before telling him, you think - and you'll maybe buy the specific band-aids as soon as possible and hide them, so you're sure you have them if they're out of production next year.

So I found this around, can I ask for Suzaku/ Lelouch?

♥ Send a ship and I'll give you who:

- Gives nose/forehead kisses

- Gets jealous the most

- Picks the other up from the bar when they’re too drunk to drive

- Takes care of on sick days

- Drags the other person out into the water on beach day

- Gives unprompted massages

- Drives/rides shotgun

- Brings the other lunch at work

- Has the better parental relationship

- Tries to start role-playing in bed

- Embarrassingly drunk dancer

- Still cries watching Titanic

- Firmly believes in couples costumes

- Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas

- Makes the other eat breakfast

- Remembers anniversaries

- Brings up having kids

you know i initially read this and was like 'im not doing that.' but then i looked over the prompts and ill give it a short go. speedrun.

*to everyone reading this. do Not expect to be able to get me to write smth just by sending an ask

- Gives nose/forehead kisses

definitely suzaku. however, lelouch especially loves goodbye and goodnight kisses.

- Gets jealous the most

lelouch LMAO my evidence is: code geass episodes 1-50

- Picks the other up from the bar when they’re too drunk to drive

i dont see lelouch being much of a bar person, but he def has a lower tolerance than suzaku. he'll see suzaku and start crying or smth. suzaku does the same thing to lelouch when he's drunk tho haha.

- Takes care of on sick days

lelouch is the caretaker ever. he's incredibly doting. suzaku is good too but no one is lelouch's level.

- Drags the other person out into the water on beach day

suzaku would want lelouch to get some exercise in and get some sun. lelouch ends up just short of drowning (horrible stamina to swim) and with a sunburn. suzaku apologizes by rubbing aloe vera on him

- Gives unprompted massages

suzaku strikes me as the more physically affectionate of the two, esp when it comes to his hands. lelouch is usually sitting at a desk doing fuck all anyway, so suzaku's strongest adversaries are the knots in lelouch's shoulders.

- Drives/rides shotgun

they can both drive, but suzaku likes it more than lelouch does so he tends to drive more. suzaku sometimes jokes abt being his chauffeur

- Brings the other lunch at work

lelouch would not let suzaku leave the house w/o his lunch. sometimes suzaku takes his lunch break to get smth lelouch asked him to get for dinner later.

- Has the better parental relationship

girl lmfao

- Tries to start role-playing in bed

i think they're both pretty good at it/into it. not an every night thing. lelouch is the better actor by far, but suzaku is nothing if not determined.

- Embarrassingly drunk dancer

suzaku would do the robot except hed call it the lancelot or something. might even try to get lelouch to join him to do a move he calls the shinkiro. (lelouch only joins when theyre at home alone. otherwise he just watches him w the most gooey romantic look anyone has ever seen.)

- Still cries watching Titanic

lelouch, easy. he's full on sobbing while suzaku laughs at him a bit. suzaku tears up a little too tho.

- Firmly believes in couples costumes

suzaku. he pesters lelouch into making an updated version of the cat outfits they had. lelouch grumbles and complains but he has a lot of fun regardless.

- Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas

lelouch doesnt believe that this rule should apply to himself because he loves shelling out for those he loves, but hes always incredulous when suzaku shells out. long story short, they both break the rule.

- Makes the other eat breakfast

lelouch will force suzaku to be late to make sure he has his most important meal of the day

- Remembers anniversaries

they both do! anniversaries are very important to the two of them

- Brings up having kids

suzaku would. lelouch had been thinking abt it for the same amount of time as suzaku has, but hes kind of shy abt it lol. theyd def have to talk a lot about breaking cycles!
