Hiiii!!! I really enjoy your TWST monster AU! It’s very interesting!!!
Very sorry if you’ve already touched on this but I just have a few questions regarding monster Leona which refuse to leave my brain!
How does he appear? He’s a mummy, right? And he’s covered in bandages which I assume cover his face as well. Yet in Leona’s section in the info list about the monsters, reader describes him as ‘handsome’, so I’m just trying to get an idea of how wrapped up in his bandages he is.
I’m also wondering if he was a former mortal or a ‘natural’ monster. In your recent cooking ask, you listed out which of the boys know how to cook because they were former humans and Leona wasn’t listed, Generally, mummies are undead which were former mortals in life so I was surprised not to see him. Of course, the other possibility I immediately thought of was he didn’t need to know how to cook because he’s royalty.
(There’s this scenario I’ve been playing with in my head where reader finds an old picture of Leona when he was alive and proudly shows it to him, saying that now they finally know how they look like underneath all those bandages.)
Final obscure pondering, but do you have any plans on introducing Farena into the lore? Would he be mortal or undead or just plain dead, possibly for a long while now?
Sorry for the messy ask! I’m just very intrigued by this AU! Feel free to ignore if it’s a bother!!!
>:) I actually just finished a drawing for Mummy Leona that I’m gonna release soon! I like to think Leona typically is covered in bandaged, but keeps his mouth uncovered to talk to you specifically! He just assumes Ruggie can understand him so he doesn't bother, but when it’s you he’d like to have meaningful conversation without you repeating “What?” 3x. Though, he does occasionally removed the bandaged from his face entirely. I like to think Mh!Reader finds his aura handsome, but then him showing off his face just solidifies their opinion orz.
He is a former human! And you were entirely right Lmao. I was gonna add him in but then I remembered he probably didn’t have to cook for himself so he’s not to good at it which is why he wasn't added. I also like to think he’s much much older than the other former human monsters so, perhaps he simply just, dozens;t remember how to cook.
I love the scenario! Even when Leona shows off his face, it’s a bit hollowed out than when he was a human. So, when you find the picture and show it him like a shiny new trophy, he just scoffs at you ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎. If you mention he looks really really handsome, he’ll either be silent for a moment from embarrassment or maybe saddened! It depends on what way you want it to go.
Leona and Farenas history will be revealed in Savanaclaw chapter, butor the most part he’s dead 😔 (For Leona pain oTL)
Never worry about Messy asks! I love getting them <3

what kinda underwear do you think the male cast would wear?? i like to think Jade would go without some days, so improper!! OTL Floyd with the colorful patterns, whether he actually wears them tho is a 60/40. i can see him in those cliche heart boxers very, very easily. Do you think any of the cast would keep their lovers' underwear, like a souvenir? I could see Lilia doing it. 1/3 (the rest is just horny posting for a fish)
2/3 (this is *not* an art request just me being down bad for a semi-crazy assfish) I would die to see jade leech in lingerie OTL i cant think of any scenarios where he'd wear it, but god is it a beautiful mental image. Considering his take on clothing (being a mer+weird asf) I don't think he'd have any actual hangups about it, but he still wouldn't do it under normal circumstances. i think part of the appeal for me, is that you wouldnt expect a guy like him (big, top, JADE) to wear sumn like it
3/3 in conclusion  they took away my license because of how  fast i was undressing him
Hi Anon!
This is such a great theme for hcs, and I am very sorry that it took so long, but please understand: this is a very complicated subject, I just had to do research before writing it. Well, in actuality I was just googling all kinds of underwear over and over again until the picture in my head for every single boy looked right lol We’ll get to hcs shortly, but first I’ll reply to the other things you’ve said!
Btw, this ask is from MARCH, that’s how far behind I am in replying to those.
Totally agree about Lilia stealing his lover’s undies as a souvenir. This is his trophy, and he is very proud of them. He should have a display in his room…
Floyd also has his stealing undies moments. Some of the boys he sleeps with could be smitten with him enough to try to gift him their underwear, and Floyd would go “??? Why the fuck do I need these”. But sometimes? He just steals them lol He totally stole a couple of Riddle’s undies. He doesn’t really store them well though, so they’re just lying around his and Jade’s room…
Rook. Rook would also take trophies. And he would take such good care of them it’s insane. Now this is someone who would have a display somewhere… somewhere where no one would be able to see it unless he wants them to…
I also think Ortho would do it one time just because he wanted to play out the trope of having someone else’s panties in his room, oops! He’s a weird boy.
Can’t say much about Jade in lingerie, but it really would look good, not gonna lie….
Riddle – god I want him to have cute ones with a strawberry print, but realistically he is probably wearing just some plain tighty whities…. unless they have a pretty embroidered “R” on it, which is somehow even worse. I love him so much. Wait, would he be the one to wear undies with the weekdays written on them?
Ace – just some boxer briefs, nothing crazy; he used to have very colourful ones when he was younger, with fun prints and all, but nowadays he tries to be a bit more stylish and mature about it, so a lot of times he goes for dark-red/red/black ones.
Deuce – pretty neutral, but he does have a “lucky” pair of trunks that he always wears when he has something important going on that day… He also has a pair of very good seamless running underwear (deep blue with some light blue patterns), and he kind of cherishes them because it’s an expensive gift. Just wear them and run, Deuce…
Trey – he prefers boxers, the ones that are basically just shorts and aren’t tight. They also look pretty plain, but he has some with the tartan print. Usually green or red… He would look like a Men’s Health model if he wore something less loose and more stylish, but he loves his stupid tartan boxers!
Cater – boxer briefs, but the “leg” part is somewhat shorter; he has a variety of different ones, but it’s almost always some variation of grey and orange. He buys the ones that seem cool to him, even the sillier ones are on the cooler side; he is very happy that his sisters don’t have power over what kind of underwear he wears… he thinks about it every time he looks in the mirror after taking a shower.
Leona – probably something high-end and luxury, but he also doesn’t wear them all the time. He wears something short, slick and sporty when he does anything sport-related and needs support for his balls, but other than that – nah, putting on underwear is just another annoying unnecessary extra thing to do.
Ruggie – he bought the cheapest ones available in bulk when he was like 13, and he still wears them (they were a little big for him when he first got them). His grandma said that it has to be cotton, but other than that – it doesn’t matter, and Ruggie believes it wholeheartedly. So I guess some neutral grey briefs? Nothing too fancy.
Jack – oh this boy. He doesn’t like underwear that doesn’t give him good support, so all of his options fit pretty close to his body. I guess his signature ones would be briefs in which one leg is just plain black, and the other leg has a print of half of the wolf face… what, you think it’s cringe? At least it’s not the ones where the wolf’s face is in the crotch area… Jack actually thinks those are cringe too – he got a pair of those from Ace, Deuce and Epel for his birthday (google wolf underwear)
Azul – Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss are his best friends. Very… gentlemanly. He always picks the ones that would make him feel like a successful young man. They’re not too short, but a little shorter than regular boxer briefs, and always very tight. To some maybe even uncomfortably tight, but Azul doesn’t mind it at all for some reason. He has exactly 10 pairs of grey and purple ones, exactly 10 pairs of black and purple ones and a couple of white ones.
Floyd – a big collection, kind of like with his shoes and socks. He hates plain ones, but some of his undies aren’t obnoxious – he has a couple of pretty stylish and bright ones that aren’t too crazy. But yeah, a lot of them are pretty obnoxious and bright lol He loves loose boxers, but also has some tighter ones too.
Jade – yeah he’d go commando lol But not all the time. His choice of underwear is… eclectic. Of course, he has some plain ones (a couple of those are similar to Azul’s but in a different colour and size), but also? He has some surprisingly silly ones. Of course with mushrooms and stuff, or something that too cursed even for Floyd to wear. It just tickles Jade when he has a secret…
Kalim – luxury underwear! Mostly white + yellow/golden/orange ones, but he has some black ones as well. Super high quality, super special design, super cool-looking actually. And Kalim doesn’t even know that his underwear is different from the rest of the guys, but if he ever was to try on some other type of underwear, he would immediately feel discomfort and say that it doesn’t feel right against his skin. Too rough…
Jamil – his is also pretty high quality; even though his family serves the Asims, I feel like this is exactly why Jamil can afford a good pair of underwear. It’s not even remotely near the price tag of Kalim’s though, god forbid, no one should allow to wear underwear this expensive..! Anyways, since Jamil likes to go sleeveless, he probably prefers underwear that doesn’t cover his thighs at all, so just some regular tight briefs. It’s mostly black+deep red, his favourite colour combo.
Vil – there he is, the underwear guru. He has all kinds of underwear and sometimes changes it multiple times per day depending on his activity: he wears seamless short briefs for yoga so it’s not visible through his leggings, but still gives him support, he wears longer boxer briefs for jogging so his thighs don’t rub against each other too much, he wears some other type for flying… his collection is expensive, high quality and very well organised… What was that? A thong? Of course he wears a thong sometimes, it looks hot. And lingerie too, when it’s appropriate. Come on now.
Rook – there he is, the man who used to wear underwear with holes in it and didn’t even care. Point at him, laugh at him, and then say thank you to Vil Schoenheit who took one look at this creature and said “I can fix him”. Anyways, nowadays Rook wears a pair of seamless boxer briefs that hug his body tightly but don't feel suffocating; he owns a bunch of these in different colours. He also owns a jockstrap, and finds it kind of functional, but it makes his butt too prominent, so he doesn't wear it. It’s for special occasions only...
Epel – he fought his mum for the right to buy himself some new cool underwear before coming to NRC (having colourful undies your mom bought you when you were 12 SUCKS!), but he didn’t even get to wear them much because Vil saw them and gave him a lecture about how this is the worst type of underwear he could wear (pure polyester, are you serious??), and that Epel doesn’t care about the well-being of his down-there at all. Long story short, Vil got him some red+purple boxer briefs for the regular wear (not too tight, very comfy!) + a couple of  black pairs for magift (longer ones?? Epel didn’t even know it existed). Epel was actually worried that he would get some stupid girly underwear, but wow these are… kind of nice. But he would never admit that the ones Vil got are much better!!
Idia – he usually wears the grey ones with triangles that STYX issues for its personnel. They are pretty comfy, and you can just grab a box and boom – you don’t have to think about your underwear ever again, EASY. But also Idia has some kind of childish loose boxers… with his favourite characters, of course. This isn’t just underwear, it’s also merch. Perfect for rewatching 300 episodes of your favourite anime.
Ortho – how much he wishes he could wear underwear…! But if we’re talking about real!Ortho, I think he would also like good ol’ regular loose boxers. But overall his underwear collection is less childish than Idia’s, at least because he has some Calvin Kleines.  And yes, of course it’s black and neon blue. He doesn’t really like the STYX ones because they make him sad, but he wears those from time to time because he wants to match with Idia.
Lilia – the moment he discovered funky underwear he was never the same. It’s the same thing he does with socks: he buys everything that seems fun, even if it ends up not being his size: he just gifts it away to younglings, so it’s all good! I think every Diasomnia boy has at least one pair of underwear that doesn’t match his style at all, because it was Lilia’s gift… anyways, Lilia either wears black ones with bright patterns (black + neon green+pink!), or something completely obnoxious. Nowadays he’s also thinking whether he could pull off something cute+sexy…
Silver – he wears whatever and doesn’t think about it twice, as long as it’s clean and has no holes in it. The majority of his underwear are pretty boring regular boxer briefs + just regular boxers that aren’t as tight. He also has one silly pair with blue and pink birdies… a gift from father, of course. He always smiles when he wears them.
Sebek – his default is black+green briefs; his thighs are getting too powerful, so he doesn’t like shorts-type underwear these days. But he does wear one lengthier pair – and it’s special equestrian underwear that has padding on the crotch. Sometimes the boy just wants some extra protection against rubbing okay… it’s not as much of a problem for the rest of the equestrian club boys for some reason.
Malleus – it’s clearly custom-made just for him: it’s black, made of high quality special type of silk + has beautiful lacing. Honestly, Malleus panties are a piece of art. I guess it’s like traditional Briar Valley type of design, but super extra fancy; he is the future King, after all. It’s hard to say if it’s comfy or not, but it looks quite dramatic. Malleus also has some underwear that is lengthier, almost like leggings. 
Bonus round!:
Crowley – doesn’t wear anything. Don’t tell anyone.
Crewel – a big variety, a lot of bold patterns, but his favourite pair is a part of black trunks with a white zebra print. Shocking, I know. He has some pretty sexy ones though, maybe even a thong.
Trein – granpa undies… grandpa undies.
Vargas – unfortunately, probably a jockstrap.
Sam – well wouldn’t you want to know? :)
Che’nya – he almost never wears underwear. And he flashes people. He is a very, very bad cat. He only wears underwear when he knows his pants are going to slide down because he doesn’t know how to use a belt properly, and people are going to see that he is wearing boxers with cartoon hedgehogs tickling each other in a weirdly sexual manner. Bad, bad cat.
Neige – pretty plain ones! Almost all of his underwear is either white or light blue. Some of them have silly prints, almost too cute for a guy… He gets tons of very cool expensive underwear for free as promo, but he donates the majority of them without even unpacking it. Thank you for your kindness, but people need undies more than Neige <3
Rollo – he is similar to Riddle, but I also think he would be that one kid who wears some priestly old-timey looking cotton shorts, because these are more traditional, and traditions are to be cherished. One could think that this is a part of his school’s uniform, but nah, Rollo is just a little weirdo… looks good on him though.
Fellow – I’m sorry, it’s probably kind of bad :( it used to be a decent pair of boxer briefs that he got when they suddenly got lucky enough with money, but now it’s well-worn and has some holes in it. It also used to be bright orange, but now it has a pale sort of peachy hue… he wants to get something new to wear, but whenever they get the money, clothes aren’t really a priority.
Gidel – his aren’t as bad because Fellow always wants Gidel to have something at least a little bit better than what he has, but Gidel’s pair of boxers is clearly too big for him. It’s pinned around his waist just so he doesn’t lose them… it has some guy’s name written on the butt part, and while Fellow finds it kind of depressing (maybe he remembers the guy he stole those from), Gidel thinks it’s pretty funny.

ask dump #3!

Yes and no! Holetta Baby is a character song for a story I wrote in high school with some friends I've since fallen out of touch with --- because of that (esp. since some of the characters were based on ourselves), and because it's frankly bizarre, I don't know if I'll ever share too much about it.
All you really need to know is that it's from the perspective of a man whose wife flew away as he gradually realizes that she's never coming back. IIRC she was just fleeing for a while because their love was forbidden, hence "Loving you's so good I fear it's wrong." In reality, she got trapped on an island somewhere and he was too heartbroken to consider the possibility that she might need rescuing.
Tumblr media
Thank you!!! I really can't overstate how happy I am that Townsend resonates with other people who have intrusive thoughts. It's something I still have trouble talking about but she's been a good outlet for that. Also quite happy that the angst is hitting right ehehe

Tumblr media
Honestly no, I have so much trouble with that too OTL. Occasionally I use the warp tool on a sketch to help put an interesting line of action before I actually do lineart? I recently started experimenting with drawing in fisheye perspective too, and that definitely shakes things up.
Tumblr media
Thank you so much!!
I almost always draw in Procreate (with an iPad + apple pen). I have 2 sets of favorite brushes on there - these are what I usually use:
6B Pencil (found in the "sketching" category). I use this for EVERYTHING from lines to rendering.
Studio Pen ("inking")
Medium Hard Airbrush aka the most generic brush on earth
Inka ("inking")
Spectra ("painting") - annoying because it can alter colors by pressure though
Then I have this set I call 'ink kit' which I use when I want to change things up without actually switching mediums lol
Blackburn ("drawing") - Really thick brush that makes me think a little harder about lines. I also have a duplicate modified to make it a little smoother and smaller & I switch between those two when doing lineart on these pieces
Gesinski Ink ("inking") - one of those pens that's flat so it's really thin or wide depending on the angle
Oil Paint ("painting")
Watercolor ("painting") -- just for coloring stuff in when it doesn't have to be precise
Also these niche uses:
Driven Snow ("elements") for freckles
Nikko Rull ("painting") for skin texture
adamandi
Tumblr media
It was just a fairly thick curling iron (curled upwards all over my head) and then a lot of hairspray. If I remember correctly, the first night it was done by our costume designer Hahnji Jang (@/hahnjij on insta!) and then I did it myself the rest of the nights. It was definitely their idea at least - my hair is naturally pretty flat and up til then I assumed Vincent's would be too, lol.
Tumblr media
No idea where the bag (or really any of it) is from, sorry. I really liked walking around in his swooshy jacket, and I ended up buying it afterwards. As far as normal people clothes I would actually wear, I really really liked his pants, which I was unfortunately not able to keep.
Tumblr media
There actually exists in my mind a completely different "biblically accurate Vincent," which is the Vincent I had been picturing all the way up until the actual performances. I always pictured him with long black hair and freckles, and I considered drawing on freckles for the show because of that.

"Very brave of you to come down here!", Wesker's unmistakable light raspy voice sounded behind Haddie, who was about to make a move on the chest. She let go of the lock, which let out a soft metallic clack after it hit the chest. The young woman straightened up and half turned towards the uniformed person, so that he could only see her profile. Haddie was calm. Her determined gaze was fixed on Wesker. He did little to frighten her. "And you have nothing better to do than follow me down here, Blondie?" the young woman spoke in a calm and firm voice, her lips twisted into a slight smirk. She turned away from the box, the contents not that important, before walking up to Wesker and stopping in front of him. "So?" she asked him, reminding him of her question when no answer came from him. "And what about you? Don't you actually have something better to do than be down here?", instead of answering he threw the question back to her. Once again he bypassed her question. What he did more often. As he spoke, he walked around her. Circled her. Like a cat playing with its prey, just waiting for the right moment to strike! Undeterred, Haddie stood calmly, knowing all too well the feeling of being circled by a predator. Even when Wesker grabbed her after standing behind her, holding his knife to her throat, she remained calm. He was just playing with her, trying to scare her! "Very brave or very stupid to put yourself in this death zone, Haddie!" the girl heard his voice close to her ear. She pushed the air out of her lungs in amusement. Without much resistance, Haddie pushed his hand with the knife away from her and freed herself without any problems. She walked slowly and smoothly to the stairs and turned to Wesker one last time. "You disappoint me by wasting your time with you!", Haddie emphasized the words the way he always pronounced them, "I'd say playtime is over, blondie! For now!" Before hurrying upstairs to get away from the basement to finish the exam, Haddie threw a few last words at his head, "Au revoir, À plus tard!" Then she was gone, leaving a Wesker alone in the basement.

Hello, It's me again... after a long time again.. I Know! OTL
And thank you to reading until this point, I had only a small Idea for a small Fanfanfiction behind this Artwork, but i was longer as I though ^^' Sorry for any grammar mistake!
Or... you skip only the Story-Section... ^^'
Well, then: Welcome to the Description!
I do not know what to say about it. The idea for the picture I had already had a little longer in the head and now finally get implemented.
For the background I chose the basement, because I think it fit the color scheme of the image best! Even though it currently seems a bit like it's the endgame broken out and the clock is ticking…. Maybe it's actually the collapse and Haddie has to run fast right away to get to the gate in time!
To that it is the first picture what I protect with Glaze against AI theft! If you have perhaps noticed the small Unfeinheiten on the picture and wondered what that is: Glaze protection!

hc + jun :,,,,)
the baby was crying again.
at some point during the middle of the night, jaewon decided he couldn’t take it anymore and since somehow the nanny hadn’t heard the screaming infant, apparently, it was left up to him to take care of this. his parents’ rooms were on the other side of the mansion– there was no way they could hear small, baby jun throwing a fit in his crib. jaewon hated the sound of newborns crying, thought it sounded too desperate, but he went into the rooms belonging to the youngest anyway, determined to figure out what was wrong.
he didn’t know how to change a diaper so he worried a bit, but as soon as he walked in, he could tell that wasn’t the issue. the little boy had vomited and come unwrapped from his blankets, shivering a bit from the temperature of the room (and damn it, where was that nanny?). jaewon looked around for a few moments before finding some towels, cleaning the spit up and throwing the blankies onto the floor. no more of that. now that jun was cleaner, he ought to go back to sleep but jaewon didn’t know how to swaddle a baby. he knew he needed warmth and comfort, but the young eleven-year-old prince had never even so much as held his baby brother until this point.
but welp. there was a first time for everything. he’d seen how his mother and the nannies all held little jun, so he did his best to emulate them, scooping the child up from his crib, into his arms, leaning him against his chest and shoulder. it felt super awkward, but he patted the baby’s back and rocked him side to side. “shhh, shhh, you’re too loud…” after a few more minutes, jun finally calmed down enough to just start rubbing his eyes and lean on jaewon heavily.
and it was kind of nice, actually. as soon as jun stopped screaming in his ear, jaewon noticed that he was pretty cute; tiny fingers, tiny lips, tiny furry head. big eyes though, staring at jaewon with a trust that broke his heart. soft, sweet little baby brother, curling up against his chest to fall back asleep and jaewon wondered if he could sleep that well because he knew he was loved. did he feel safe? so sweet and trusting, so small and delicate, when the world outside was so scary…
“i’m going to protect you, okay?” he whispers as jun passes out against his chest, still rocking him slowly. “whatever monsters are out there, they’ll have to get through me to get to you, and i won’t let them get to you. i’ll become stronger than them, scarier than them if i have to be. i’ll always be here for you, i promise.”

Roses are Red, Violets are blue – Riddle Discovered Romance Exists and that He’s in Love Too~
**Note: Anon, I’m so sorry for taking so long to write this ㅠoㅠ I really like Riddle as he’s in my top 5 list of characters like, so I hope I did him justice OTL
HC of Riddle x Reader
·       When Riddle first meets you at the welcome ceremony, already from the first glance, he was 100.31415% sure that he didn’t like you
·       You were a trouble maker, chaos-maker, a person who likes to wreck-havoc. In other words, something Riddle absolutely despised – a rule breaker
·       He was expecting, ok-hoping for you to not be accepted as an NRC student by the headmaster. Not only were you a rule breaker, you couldn’t even use magic. It wouldn’t make sense for you to be accepted
·       When he sees you sitting at  lunch with Ace, it proved to him 2 things. 1. You just further proved to him that you were someone he doesn’t want to get close with and 2. The headmaster is as brainless as ever
·       He doesn’t expect to see you come with Ace to deliver a marron tart on the day of the Unbirthday Party
·       Despite how he had reacted, he felt touch that you had come to deliver a tart for him. Yet, rules are law
·       It took everything in him to not flinch when he hears a passing comment from Cater how you and the other 3 trouble makers even had to pick fresh chestnuts to make it. To think someone who wasn’t even in his own dorm decided to help out to make a tart for him…
·       But the feeling of guilt disappears when you, someone magicless, calls him stupid for following the rules! The nerve you had for saying that he was stupid for following the rules that the Queen of Hearts made!
·       He usually didn’t discipline anyone outside the dorm of Heartslabyul unless it was something he witnessed and in regards to the general NRC school rule. He made an exception though when you refused to say “Yes, Dorm Leader”
·       You were in Heartslabyul and as the saying goes, “In Rome, do what the Romans do”. Through his anger, he’s still able to rational think how unreasonable he was being to apply his magic on someone magicless
·       For the rest of the day, the memory replays in his head of how he,  for the first time in his whole life, hesitated casting magic on someone. It didn’t help that the feeling of his hand shaking didn’t disappear
·       When you appear the next day for the duel, he suddenly felt self-conscious. He didn’t know why, but every time he was in front of you, he suddenly had the urge to look proper to you
·       He wanted to show you how much pride he takes in being the perfect honor student as well as nearly coming close to having the perfect image of the Queen of Hearts, herself
·       …Yes. Riddle, at the time, was wanting to look cool in front of you
·       The shame and deep embarrassment he faces when Ace punched him and calls him a baby in front of you of all people…The person he wanted to impress and gain acknowledgement from. And it didn’t help that everyone else didn’t think that was enough before an egg hits him on the head
·       After he OBs, he wakes up lying in your lap though he doesn’t notice as he continues to feel that the world was spinning
·       What he does notice was you hugging him as he cries from guilt, stress, and everything he held inside while patting his head. He refuses to admit that it comforted him, though it causes him to cry harder as he never once was given affection before
·       During the time he was recovering, when Trey and Cater tells him how you were the one that proposed to save him as soon as he OBed, his eyes turned soft from again, being touched, guilty, and confusion
·       He didn’t understand why you had chosen to help him. He knew that his first impression on you was not impressive at all. Yet you saved him
·       On Ace’s birthday, he has fun painting the roses with everyone while getting some sort of redemption on trying to look good in front of you
·       But, when he gave everyone his failed tarts, he wanted to dig a hole and get in it. He’s finally able to make himself look good and it’s none other than himself that ruins it in no less than an hour. Someone, please, help him
·       Seeing you continue to eat the failed tart, he tries to stop you. But jokes on him, when you tell him how the tart was something he made for everyone, which made it still delicious, he blushes
·       He only turns redder when he catches a certain Heartslabyul group talking behind his back
·       Ace: Oh my gosh, I think our Ryocho has a crush on the Prefect Deuce: What? No wa-actually, it really does seem like it, huh Grim: That’s unacceptable! I don’t want Y/N to date a guy like that! That would mean I won’t get as many tuna cans compared to now! Cater: Uuuuhhhhh, you guys should quiet down or else-
·       Riddle makes sure to punish them by lecturing them for 3 hours about respecting their seniors
·       He nearly uses his Unique Magic again when Ace points out how his height makes him look like a middle schooler
·       A few days later, when he sees you checking up on Trey because of his injury, Riddle felt touched from it
·       It made him happy and help the guilt inside him lessen seeing that there were many people that cared for his friend. Especially, from you
·       When he hears you were investigating about the incidents that were happening, he starts wanting to help you. Other than the reason of trying to find the person who used their magic on him and caused Trey to get injured, he didn’t want to lose the opportunity to get closer to you
·       It seemed like fate was against him though when he gets embarrassed by Floyd as he gets called by that cursed nickname and then had to run away from the eel twins
·       However, the fact that he was able to spend his day with you made him happy nonetheless
·       He doesn’t realize this but he starts to become more conscious about you – taking note of how you wear your uniform, hold your bag, etc
·       Listen, he’s more conscious because he acknowledges you as a fellow dorm leader that’s all! It’s totally not because he actually likes you!
·       Yeah, that’s why he fixes your tie and gives you the advice about keeping appearance! Because as fellow dorm leaders, they were the ones to set the image of being proper honor students in NRC! That’s. All!
·       He starts questioning if everything he did in the past is coming to bite him back now when he tries to catch Ruggie but ends up getting his pen stolen.
·       Was it too much to ask of him to look cool in front of you once? Once?
·       Cater: Riddle… I know you’re trying to look cool in front of Y/N but.. Riddle: But what? Cater: …Nothing
·       Cater didn’t want to face Riddle’s wrath like how Ace and Deuce did. He’s a wise man
·       He feels this again but this time with veins popping on his head when he finally gets Jack to agree to his plan and make it work only to lead to Leona to OB
·       He never has ever felt the urge to just crouch down while covering his face with his hands until now
·       When he sees Leona attacking everyone, all thoughts disappear as his worry for everyone’s safety, especially yours becomes his priority
·       He wanted to tell you to run away, go somewhere safe. But he doesn’t because he knows you’ll end up staying to save everyone
·       And this cycle repeats. When he finds out how you made a deal with Azul and the latest being you getting kidnapped at Scarabia, he wants to yell at you
·       He worries, he panics over your wellbeing. But what’s worse was that he can’t even tell you because he knows he isn’t any position to say so
·       The frustration that builds up in him leads him to take it out on anyone who annoys him, especially on those who gives him the biggest headache cough Ace and Deuce cough
·       It doesn’t help that he doesn’t understands why he worries about you
·       You always break the rules, get in trouble, and try to save others nonstop. You put yourself in danger for the sake of other’s when no one is willing to do that for you
·       Ever since you extended your hand towards him, all he’s been wanting was to show you the better side of him – to get you to become closer to him
·       BUT! EVERY! SINGLE! TIME! He tries getting closer to you, he was blocked
·       Fairy Gala – misses the opportunity to see you in your gorgeous outfit - He ends up getting a picture of you in it (it totally wasn’t a bribe from Idia, who was trying to get out of a dorm leader meeting. He was just following the school rules of confiscating all pictures that weren’t allowed to be taken in the school. That’s all)
·       Bean’s Day – Didn’t know the two of you were on the same team - He screamed into his pillow that night when he found about it. You literally were on the same team as him so he had a full, bloody chance to hang out with you. Alone. Just the two of you. Curse Jack and Azul for catching him. He’ll get back at them. He swears on the Queen of Hearts name he will.
·       Things worsen for him as he starts having the urge to hold your hand or want to get to know you. Do you like tarts just like he does? Were your hands soft just like how they look? Do you like to tie your tie in a bow like him or do the traditional Windsor?
·       Did he ever mentioned that he wanted to go “Off with Your Head” on Crowley and Floyd? No? Oh well, he does. And he will. Especially after what happened during that “weird ghost princess’s” marriage
·       He would like to say that he’s not short. He’s smart, considerate, knows what to do and not to do – height shouldn’t matter it’s the quality that does
·       He’s not self-cautious about his height. Nor is he worried about how well he fits into the “ideal” prince aka ideal marriage partner
·       He just wants to show that he’s capable of being a romantic partner! Because as dorm leader, he has an image to uphold especially since he’s closest to the Queen of Hearts!
·       In the end though, all of that turns out to be excuses. He realizes how much he enjoys your presence - how much he likes talking to you, hanging around you, getting to enjoy things without feeling judged or afraid of breaking rules
·       He feels like himself, his trues self, when he’s around you
·       And after listening to what Ace said to Eliza (yes, he remembers her name), he realizes that he sees you as someone like that
·       Realizing that he actually fell for you, his heart speeds up and his face reddens when you come up to him to congratulate him on the success
·       He knows that he doesn’t tell you now, he won’t ever have the chance to tell you. Especially since apparently, people like to block him from evening getting an inch closer to you
·       After looking down and seeing the bouquet in his hands still in good condition, he sends Cater off before he starts taking you towards Sam’s shop
·       He ignores your questions, before he stops right in front of the shop
·       His heart speeds up and nervousness washes over him. But he steels his resolve after thinking about how he’ll never have another chance
·       Getting on a knee, he places a right hand on his heart while offering the bouquet with his left
·       He confesses how ever since you helped him when he OBed, he started to have feelings for you. He never thought about it at first, but overtime the feelings started to grow despite him not realizing it. And today, he realized he fell for you
·       He talks about how he’s never experienced what it’s like to confess and love someone. Yet he promises you on his own name as well as the Queen of Heart’s name that he will devote his entire being to you – never lying nor betraying your heart
·       He says the he understands if you can’t accept being his, however, if only you acknowledge his feelings for him – at least be aware, he’s satisfied
·       Or would’ve if it weren’t for the fact that half way through, he’s suddenly pulled up towards you
·       His eyes widen as he feels your lips on his, actually k-k-kissing him
·       Once the two of you broke away, he looks at you in a daze, not understanding what had happened until he hears you saying that he didn’t have the right to make decisions for you and that you liked him back
·       He blushes to the point his face rivals the color of his hair before he drags you into another kiss out of happiness and absolute love
·       He’s about to say he loves you before he hears something behind the bushes
·       Deuce: OH MY GREAT SEVENS – RIDDLE RYOCHO  ACTUALLY Ace: SHHHHHH YOU’RE GOING TO GET US IN TROUBLE! Although, I have to say, I didn’t think Ryocho had it in him to actually confess Grim: NOOOO MY CANS OF TUNE Cater: whistles Wow~ Riddle and Y/N is a thing then~
·       He makes a mental note to give them punishment as he gets kissed again by you, happily returning it

🌿 Saoirse
I’m sorry it took so long to reply ;; I was trying to doodle something for it but I think I’m in an art Funk OTL 
🌿 “ What way does your OC show that they care without using words? What way do others show your OC that they’re cared about without using speech? “
It changes depending on the person, I think. With Ria, for instance, she’d be big on locking arms and patting Ria’s arm comfortingly if she knew Ria was feeling down about something. With Farkas, I think they’d be like the typical “Bros” and have all the standard knuckle bumps and pats on the back but for more quiet moments of care, she’d probably braid his hair and ramble to him about this or that or offer to let him use her as the guinea pig during lessons for the other whelps without making a fuss. I think for most people, she’d be best at taking note of their concerns or worries and would do her part in distracting them via rambling or picking at them- that type of thing. She wouldn’t try to “fix” it per say, but she would do her best to take their mind off things or distract them. 
As far as people doing unto her, I think she’d prefer to have someone distract her/take her mind off things as well? Ria would invite her out on a job with her or ask to help her with Lucia while Farkas or any of the other males in the Companions might pick at her more? Friendly picking, of course but they’d all try to make her laugh or try to get her to crack a smile- make a game out of it or something. 
I can’t imagine the rat boys and girls of Riften living in the sewer being too buddy-buddy but like I could picture some of the nicer ones probably opting for the “try to get her to laugh/ pick at her a bit more than usual” route. 
gosh I’m sorry for being so behind OTL I’ve just not been any good at “art” The past few days, I’m feeling better but it seems like my art skills got out of their pen and I need to go track’em down (∩︵∩)

Revamped (ch. 4)
I... have been writing... for THIRTY YEARS! D: Lol jk it just feels that way. Hey guys! Sorry about the delay! I had like three different directions I could have this story go, so I had to play around with it and decide which one I wanted. SO I finally did, so now hopefully we can get back on track! Soooo if it's riddled with mistakes I missed, I rewrote this a lot, so I apologize. OTL. Now, onward! :D
Lol, snapped a pic of Ladybug carrying someone across the city!
Aw, that's our Ladybug! So sweet and helpful!
OMG is that ADRIEN AGRESTE?!
OMG NO WAY
I THINK IT IS
They look so cute! 3
No way, she and Cat Noir are in love, didn't you see the photo? THEY'RE so cute together 3
omg did they break up?
GASP! Is Ladybug cheating on Cat Noir!?
No way!
How could she!?
Poor Cat Noir!
Adrien deserves better!
"Adrien is it true?!"
"It can't be true!"
"No way, how'd you manage it?!"
"What?" Adrien jumped from one questioner to another, flabbergasted at the sudden swarm and barrage surrounding him. "Is 'what' true?"
"You and Ladybug are an item!"
"What?!"
Alix shoved her phone in his face, where there was an unmistakable picture of Ladybug swinging through the skies of Paris, a common and accepted sight. Save for the fact that she was carrying a lean, blond male with a very signature outfit, and blond hair.
"Oh no," he groaned before he could stop himself.
"So it is true!" she pestered.
"No! No, no, we were just, uh," He grimaced as he glanced between everyone trying to wrack his brain. "She was just giving me a ride home! I was right by where the Akuma attack was and-"
As Marinette came to school, she was surprised by the crowd near the front door. It wasn't the first time she'd seen Adrien in the middle of an overexcited group of teens, but their classmates had stopped being star-struck a long time ago.
"What's going on?" She asked a distressed Alya as she approached.
Just then, nearly all the girls in her class turned with a gasp and suddenly crowded around her. "Nothing!" "Nothing's wrong!" "Nothing's happening!" "Adrien was just telling us about his-"
"No way guys," Nino spoke up suddenly, coming over to put his arm protectively around his friend. "There's no way Adrien is secretly dating Ladybug! Cuz if he was, he would've told me about it, his best bud!"
"Right, of course!" Adrien said quickly, though the agreement seemed a little haphazard.
"ADRIKINS!" Came the distraught wail as Chloe jogged up to him. "Tell me it isn't true! Tell me you're not dating Ladybug!"
"It's not true!" Adrien finally said in exasperation. "I was late for dinner and Ladybug was just giving me a lift home, that was it!"
The girls winced and looked worriedly to Marinette. And somehow mistook her worried expression for disappointment.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Chloe sighed with relief, instantly cuddling his arm, ignoring his leaning away from her. "Not that Ladybug isn't great of course, but she's not the one for you."
His grimace came back, knowing where this was going, and quickly coming up with a distraction. "Right! Because, uh, sheeeee and Cat Noir are a thing, right? Didn't they just become an item?"
Of course, so focused on Chloe, no one noticed the way Marinette grimaced. Ugh, right, that photo! The one of her and Cat Noir kissing! He'd been so eager about it, and Alya had gotten so trigger-happy with it. All her hard work of "rejecting" Cat Noir, down the drain...
...well ok, that wasn't true. Every now and then she still wound up flirting with him back, so maybe her attempts hadn't been that successful anyway.
"Ugh, she can have him if she wants," Chloe waved him off in her typical fashion before clinging onto the reluctant boy's arm. "You're the perfect one for me!"
Marinette crossed her arms. "Oh please, he's hardly "perfect"."
She hadn't realized she'd said it aloud until the shocked eyes rounded on her. Her own eyes widened, especially when she saw Adrien's stunned confusion.
"What was that?" Chloe pressed.
"I mean, uh, no one's perfect, Chloe!" Marinette said, trying to be more confident than she really felt. "And, uh, you shouldn't expect that of people!"
"Ugh, what would you know? You wouldn't know perfection if it hit you in the face," She said airily, flipping her ponytail with a flourish.
Marinette leered.
And then she smiled mischievously. "Actually, Chloe, I always thought you and Cat Noir would make a great couple."
"What?!" She wrinkled her nose in his disgust, while everyone else looked confused. Adrien looked positively alarmed. "Me and that mangy cat? Why on earth would you think that?"
But her cool, easy smile never faltered."You two brag about yourselves so much, you'll be able to keep each other entertained for hours."
Everyone burst out laughing, much to Chloe's anger, and Adrien's embarrassment. She scowled at the laughing faces, and Adrien flushed with a forced embarrassed smile. The warning bell rang, and the others dispersed, though Chloe of course couldn't leave without a threatening point to Marinette. "You'll regret this, Dupain-Cheng!"
"I seriously doubt that, Chloe."
"Hmph!" She turned up her nose before marching off to class.
"Shouldn't expect him to be perfect, huh?" Alya raised a brow as she smirked, crossing her arms. "Nice philosophy. Did you decide that in the last five minutes?"
She smiled bashfully with a helpless shrug.
"Marinette?" Came Adrien's voice, making her snap straight.
"Speaking of perfect," Alya muttered with a sly grin, before she stalked off. "See you in a bit, Marinette." She sang.
She looked after her friend longingly before turning with a nervous smile. "H-hey, Adrien!"
He seemed as nervous as she was. "Hey! So, uh," he rubbed at the back of his neck. "You like Cat Noir, huh?"
"No!" She panicked, making him blink. "I mean yes! I mean- I like him! As a hero! But it's not like I like him romantically or anything!"
"You don't?" He seemed genuinely surprised. "But I thought- er, that is, you were uuuh-"
"I did used to have a little crush on him," she said quickly, proud of herself for this brilliant turn around. "But he's in love with Ladybug, so now I'm just a fan!"
"Oh! Great! Glad to hear it." He nodded, half to himself, though he seemed mostly distracted as he fidgeted. "Soooo... do you really think he brags a lot? As bad as Chloe?"
Her lips twitched traitorously, but she managed to school her expression. "That depends. Do you really think Ladybug and Cat Noir are an item?"
He raised a brow, obviously confused as to how those two were connected. "Don't you?"
"Oh, I dunno, I mean it's just one photo," she excused quickly, turning around in pretend thought. If she faced him, she was pretty sure she'd lose her nerve. "Maybe they had another reason for kissing. Maybe Ladybug was saving him again, oooor maybe they thought they were trying to break a spell!"
Of course, not looking at him, she didn't see the sudden flash of worry. "You... think so?"
"Yeah, I mean, who can really say, right?"
He was quiet for a moment as he considered it. "Yeah, I... guess that's true. Ladybug's done it before."
"Exactly!" She agreed cheerfully, finally turning to face him. "I'm just saying, you can't believe everything you-"
She stopped. As she looked at his face, she was stunned by how... down he looked. He was clutching the strap of his bookbag, face to the ground as he hunched over.
"...though I guess they did look really happy together," she finally relented. "I mean, what do I know, I'm just a fan!"
He looked up at her in some surprise, like he had forgotten she was there, and then balked when he remembered himself. "Right, of course! We're just fans! I guess only Ladybug and Cat Noir know, right? We should head back to class."
"Oh, yeah," she smiled as she followed him quickly. "Don't wanna be late again!"
Of course, neither of them were aware of their eavesdropper. Lila watched from the shadows, her face turning into a scowl as she gripped the photograph of Ladybug in her fingers.
After that, everyone in school had forgotten about the incident, and took Adrien at his word. He thought that was the end of it.
"ADRIEN AGRESTE!" Cried the angry female akuma from the school rooftop. She was dressed in a garish mockery of a retail worker's uniform. "Where are you!?"
The students ran screaming for safety, trying to hide in some classes and rooms nearby. Adrien was trying to head for the locker room, but he was spotted, and the female akuma dropped down to block his path.
"I don't understand," he said. "What'd I do to you?"
"Nothing, I just know that you're my ticket to Ladybug, Loverboy," she sashayed toward him. "It's nothing personal."
"Uh," He grinned nervously as he tiptoed back. "I would just like it to be known that that photo was taken out of context, and we're not actually-"
"SILENCE!" She shouted, holding up her weapon- a rather formidable looking… coat hanger? Either way it started glowing and he had a feeling he wouldn't like getting hit with it. "I don't care what the rumors say- all I know is that you're enough to make her come running."
There was no where to run, and no where to hide, and as he braced himself for the attack, he silently cursed his need for haste yesterday.
"WATCH OUT!"
And then he was suddenly yanked away, Ladybug's yo-yo wrapping around his waist to pull him toward her.
"HA! I knew it." The akuma sneered. "Attacking your precious lad in distress was the perfect way to bring you straight to me!"
She scowled, holding him protectively close as she rebutted the claim. "Ugh, I'm going to rescue anyone in distress, not just him!"
And while normally Adrien would be thrilled at the close contact, the sight of the smug akuma, and the students peeking through the windows with their phones out, made him clear his throat. "Uh, Ladybug?" He smiled shyly with a blush, pointing to their touching waists.
She blinked at him, then her protective hold, and released him with a squeak, activating her yo-yo. "Sorry!"
"No problem! Uh, thanks Ladybug!" Adrien saluted obligatorily before dashing for cover to transform and join her.
Thankfully, the battle itself was not a difficult one. Cat Noir didn't even need his Cataclysm. The day passed by relatively quickly, leaving the students to finish up their classes and head home. And in Adrien's case, head to fencing.
"Hey, Kagami!" He greeted cheerfully.
"Hey," she nodded once in acknowledgment, then readied her stance. He hesitated a moment, curious.
"Sooooo you're not going to ask me about the picture?" He asked cautiously.
"Do I need to?" She asked sharply.
"No! No, no, it's nothing like people are saying," He assured quickly.
"Then there's nothing to worry about. I'm not going to worry about some suspicious pictures anymore. I already know where your affections lie."
He was grateful for the fencing helmet to hide his blush. Because it was true, he had been developing a crush on her lately. Granted he was still falling for Ladybug over and over, but... if Marinette's point was right, then maybe he really should give up on-
"En garde!"
Her warning snapped him out of it, and he readied his stance. He could think about it later, but for now, he had to try to beat her again.
"Would you care to explain this?"
Adrien had a feeling word of this would come back to his father. So this time, as the man held up his own phone with the incriminating picture, he was prepared.
"Father, that's not me! It's just an excited fan dressed up like me."
"Oh really?"
"My face isn't visible, is it?" He crossed his arms. "Besides, Nathalie saw me before I came down for dinner. I was in my room the whole time."
He glanced at his assistant for confirmation, and she nodded.
"It's true, sir. He was already in there, and there was no sign of Ladybug."
The man studied the boy hard, looked at the photo again, then relented. "Very well, you may go."
Adrien smiled, quite pleased with himself as he made his way back to his room. Today just had a quick battle, a quick evasion, so all was well and good.
But needless to say, things got a little… hectic after that. And not just from akumas.
It happened Tuesday, after the battle when the reporters had to get their 'scoop'…
"LADYBUG! How could you cheat on Cat Noir!"
"Uuugh, I'm not cheating on him! I'm not dating either of them!"
"Can confirm. On both ends."
Wednesday, when there were three akumas in the same day...
"Now that I have super powers, I can be good enough for Adrien!"
"Trust me, with your super powers, you can do so much better."
"Hey!"
Thursday, when they got a nice combo of one of her fanboys, and one of Cat Noir's fangirls…
"I'll take the Miraculouses, then we'll be together forever!"
"An eternity of corny pick up lines and bad jokes? Be my guest."
"For the record, I know you're teasing me, but I'll still stand by the fact that my jokes are hilarious."
And Friday, when it felt like everything was piling up bit by bit.
Lila stared at her phone, teeth clenching harder and harder as the newest news clips came out. Image after image of Ladybug valiantly protecting Adrien only fueled the fans of the assumption of their "secret relationship", giving her plenty of fodder for rumors, which she had been taking. To no avail.
"Why? Why can none of these idiots take out Ladybug?" She ranted. "What else do I have to say?"
She jumped onto her computer, looking up more articles and forums, trying to make as many comments about "secret dates" and "outings" and possible.
'Come on, come on, someone take care of her!'
Because no matter how Adrien tried to deny it, Lila knew the truth.
"Why?! Why isn't Hawkmoth akumatizing me?!" She chucked her phone across her room, and stomped about in rage. Picking up the photograph from her desk, she glowered at the smiling, swinging image of Ladybug, gripping so hard it crinkled in her fingers.
"Just as I planned, her anger is growing with each passing day I "ignore" her." Hawkmoth mused as he sensed her rage tumbling through. "But not yet. Her work in helping spread the rumors is giving me plenty of ammunition to wear them down. And then she'll be ready to be my perfect puppet."
He held out his hand, letting a butterfly land in his glove. He akumatized it, and let it flutter out the window. "Fly away my little akuma, and evilize him!"
Ladybug dropped between a couple buildings, trying to catch her breath against the wall after the latest battle. Cat Noir transformed back first, having to use his power a lot sooner than her. Plagg took the time to zip out and groan in annoyance. "Man, that's the 10th one this week! It's nice being popular with the ladies, but this is ridiculous!"
"If it wasn't for people taking all these pictures it wouldn't be happening so much!" Ladybug groaned in exasperation. "It's not like I'm saving you any different from normal."
"Normally, I might be disappointed, but this time I have to agree. I mean:" He had given Plagg a piece of cheese, then pulled out his phone to pull up the latest "craze". "This one isn't even remotely flattering!"
It had been a picture where Ladybug had just barely caught Adrien mid-fall by the ankle, leaving him swinging precariously in mid-air, and screaming bloody murder. Clearly, the affection was palpable.
"Honestly, I'm gonna need my PR people to get on the ball soon," He mused. "My nose looks way too big in this one."
"This is getting out of hand." Ladybug groaned with her head in her hand. "You've got to go on TV and tell people they're wrong."
"I've been trying! But the more I try to deny it, the more people think I'm trying to hide it!"
"Well there's gotta be some way to stop all these akumatizations." She murmured as she grasped her chin in thought.
He watched her a moment, brow furrowing in worry, before he quickly schooled it to be casual. "Well, what if we pretended we're dating? I mean as Cat Noir!" He said quickly. "Like we did before for the other akumas."
She looked at him sharply, but he searched her face to decipher her reaction, hand at his neck. She seemed less-than-thrilled at the idea, though turned her face away so he wouldn't see. "I-I don't know, wouldn't that be hard for you to-?"
Then the akuma found them, and burst in with a mighty roar, making Plagg have to hide.
"Another one?!" Ladybug complained. "It hasn't even been five minutes!"
"LADYBUG!" He cried angrily. He was a massive, muscular boy with a wrestler's yellow uniform blindingly bright against his purple skin. There were stripped braces on his wrists and calves, with an orange armored helmet, but besides that had nothing else to shield him. "Why, why do you love him? What does that weakling have that I don't?!"
"Oh, one of your fans again," Adrien realized brightly, hands on his hips. "I gotta say this is a nice change of pace."
"Silence, girly boy! You don't have what it takes to make Ladybug happy!"
Both Adrien and Ladybug glared.
And then Adrien sneered. "Well, better a "girly boy" than a toy store reject." He said easily, leaning to one side. "With a paint job like that I'd say a 2 year old could do better."
"Ca- Adrien!" Ladybug snapped, just before she had to dive to snatch him out of harm's way. "Are you insane? Don't antagonize him like this!"
The boy didn't even have the decency to look fazed, simply shrugging as she held him in her arms. "What? He asked," he defended. "Besides, you can't expect me not to feel a little jealous of anyone after you."
Of course, neither of them were aware of Hawkmoth on the other side of the psychic link. "What?!"
"Oh, go "hide" already," Ladybug spat as she dropped him, whirling her yo-yo to life.
"Oh no you don't!" the wrestler shouted. "Come fight me face to face!"
"No!" Hawkmoth interrupted. "Not until you've faced Cat Noir and Ladybug and given me their miraculouses!"
"Hmph, go ahead, girly boy!" the akuma yelled after Adrien as he darted around a building. "Go run an' hide! While I show Ladybug what a real man I am!"
"Real man, huh?" Adrien opened up his shirt to let Plagg out again. "Why don't we go show this guy what a real man can do. Plagg, CLAWS OUT!"
Once fully powered up in his own armor, he came out into the fray, happily jumping in to take a few swipes at the technicolor wrestler.
"Nice moves, Cat Noir." Ladybug praised. "Think you can hold him back for a while?"
"No problem. You just go recharge yourself," he assured with a wink.
"Don't let her get away!" Hawkmoth demanded. "She's about to transform back!"
But of course, the akuma's attempt to go after her was thwarted by Cat Noir jumping between them.
"Ah, ah, ah," he wagged his finger, whirring his pole around himself dangerously before striking a defensive pose. "You'll have to go through me first."
Ladybug dashed around a building, letting herself detransform. "Hurry, Tikki," she whispered, pulling out the cookie. "There's not much time!"
"I don't know how much more I can do this, Marinette," Tikki admitted weakly as she got to eating the macaroon.
"Hang in there just a little longer!"
Cat Noir was quick and agile compared the big, hulking muscle man. His strikes were fast and fierce, and he kept his pole close to his body to keep his control. For once, he was focusing hard on the fight. So much so that he didn't even hear Ladybug when she finally jumped beside him, yo-yo at the ready.
"Alright, I'm ready to-"
He let out a battle-cry and charged at his enemy, going low to try to knock him flat. Ladybug blinked, before chasing after him and trying to join in.
"No, Ladybug, stay back!" Cat Noir grunted. He was on the ground, on top of the wrestler as they pushed against his pole to try to beat the other in brute strength. "I'll handle him!"
"Ha! You don't have what it takes! How'd a puny boy like you get to be the hero of Paris?"
"My charm and sense of humor, of course. You should try it some time- it might make you more tolerable!"
The wrestler managed to switch positions, rolling on top and trying to shove the pole into his throat. "I deserve the miraculous! Ladybug needs a real partner!"
"I'm her partner!"
Ladybug, for her part, let her yo-yo stop its spin. Narrowing her eyes and letting her scowl deepen, she straightened her stance and crossed her arms. She had a feeling of where this was going, and she didn't like it one bit.
"You know what they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall!"
Cat Noir finally kicked out the wrestler's leg, flipping him over and jumping back to his feet. He went on the attack again, the wrestler using his braces to block his moves, and of course throw a few punches, with Cat Noir leaping out of range. They advanced and retreated in an angered dance of showmanship, sparring verbally as well as physically.
"Not bad for a weakling, puny man!"
"You're delusional if you think a muscle-head like you has a chance with Ladybug. I'll take you out using brains as well as brawn."
"Hmph, I'll show you and that girly boy! A real warrior is full of strength and power, nothing like your skinny little-"
"Will you two knock it off!?" Ladybug finally snapped, and the pair paused in their fighting. "Did neither of you think that maybe I don't care who's stronger?"
The blinked, and they stared from her, to one another, back to her.
"What are you doing?!" Hawkmoth demanded. "Get his miraculous!"
"You… don't?" Cat Noir asked in confusion.
"No! I'm a superhero for crying out loud!" She said. "I can save myself just fine! I don't need a knight in shining armor to impress me!"
"Then…" the akuma victim lowered his hands in confusion. "What do you need to impress you?"
She glanced to Cat Noir, then sighed as she looked to her clasped hands. "The boy I love is… kind, and sweet. He's helpful to people, and always has a smile for everyone, and it's the most beautiful thing in the world. I don't love him because I think he can "save me", I love him because he's kind to me."
"I can be kind," the wrestler said instantly. "I'm a nice guy!"
"You've been fighting me and Cat Noir to take our Miraculouses and help Hawkmoth. How is that "kind"?"
"She's right," Cat Noir sighed in mock sympathy with a shrug. "Helping the supervillain doesn't usually give you points in the "nice guy" department."
"Don't think you're free from this either, Cat Noir," Ladybug frowned at him, jabbing at his chest. "If we'd been working together instead of you fighting over your ego, we could have gotten his akuma already!"
He flinched, then lowered his head, properly chastised.
Ladybug hadn't really been sure what to expect, but it wasn't the akuma victim willingly handing over his arm brace.
"What?! What're you doing?!" Hawkmoth yelled.
Ladybug smiled up at him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "You're doing the right thing."
"I guess it's too late to ask you for a date, then."
"Sorry, but I'm in love with someone else," she said sympathetically, taking the brace and dropping it to the ground and stomping on it.
She captured and purified the butterfly, but since the akuma hadn't actually been doing anything but trying to fight Cat Noir, there wasn't any damage to fix.
"Uuuuuugh, ah..." the akumatized victim groaned as he looked around. He was obviously much smaller than his villainous form, though still tall and muscular. With his young face it was clear he was only a couple years older than the heroes. "Ladybug? Cat Noir?!"
"Hey there," Ladybug smiled kindly, ignoring the way Cat Noir wrinkled his nose in distaste. "You feeling alright?"
"Uh, yeah," He shot up to his feet, cheeks pink. "I-I'm great, but what am I…?"
"You were akumatized by Hawkmoth."
"What?! No, that's impossible! I'm not evil!"
"I know, it's Hawkmoth that's evil. He gets into your head and makes you do things you wouldn't normally do. Just be careful from now on."
"I will. I promise I'm stronger than that," he assured, flexing for her.
Cat Noir snorted, and Ladybug sighed. Right, since he was akumatized, he wouldn't remember her "speech".
"Do you need a lift?" She asked instead.
Taken aback by her lack of response, he glanced around the area to get his bearings back, and he smiled in embarrassment as he rubbed at the back of his neck. "Uh, yeah, actually."
"Sure thing," she threw her yo-yo to catch a perch, and held out her arm.
He looked at her, then balked. "You mean, you want to carry me?"
"Don't worry," she waved off his concern. "I'm much stronger than I look."
He still seemed uncertain, and Ladybug couldn't understand why he seemed hesitant, knowing that she was, well, a superhero.
"Ah, on second thought, I'll be fine walking after all."
"Are you sure? I really don't mind."
"It's not that far, actually."
Cat Noir, who knew instantly what was going on, was leaning on his cane with a slyly amused smirk, before he looked at his hand, and gasped.
"Oh no, I'm about to transform back!" He stole the opened spot, hopping into her arms and holding on with the arm not holding his staff. "Quick Ladybug, you've got to get me out of here!"
"Honestly, Cat Noir, again?" She chastised. "You've got to be more responsible. Sorry," She said to the former victim. "Maybe next time."
Of course, since she was looking at him, she didn't see the way Cat Noir leaned his head toward her to look like he was "cuddling" her, or the way he waved farewell with a smug grin before she pulled them away. She brought them to drop behind a building, and was about to let him down before she blinked, memories rushing back to her.
"Hey wait a second, you're not about to transform back. You didn't even use your Cataclysm."
"I know. I just had to show the guy what he was missing."
"Cat Noir!"
"Look, I already knew he wasn't going to do it. He can't be seen being carried by you, it would ruin his image."
"Oh, but not yours?"
"Of course not. Everyone knows I am still the greatest hero of Paris."
She let him drop with a yelp, dusting her hands off and planting them on her hips as she waited for him to stand. "Well, the greatest hero of Paris can go ahead and walk himself back, then."
"Aw, c'mon, bugaboo, I was only joking. You know I think you're the number one hero of Paris," he cooed, leaning sideways to look up at her from under his lashes. Blink blink blink.
"Hmph. Sweet words from someone who wanted to fight all by himself. And haven't I told you not to call me 'bugaboo' anymore?"
He straightened, rubbing at the back of his head worriedly. "Right, sorry, it slipped."
"Just keep it in mind," she said easily, throwing her yo-yo to catch a perch.
"W-wait, Ladybug!" He twisted his pole self-consciously. "Do you… think I brag a lot?"
She blinked.
He darted his eyes away, fidgeting nervously. "It's just a thought I had, lately, for no reason, I just wondered-"
"You mean you hadn't noticed?"
He stared.
"I thought it was just a part of your act as Cat Noir," she stated in incredulity, before pointing at him. "You mean you were serious all those times?"
He hedged and erred, forcing himself to laugh it off. "Act, right! It was! I-I was just worried it was a little too much, you know? I mean I don't want to come off as too annoying."
She facepalmed.
He looked at her worriedly.
She sighed. "Don't worry about it. I'm used to it with you."And then she was gone, flying off to her destination.
"W-Wait! What do you mean "used to it"?" He called after her. "Ladybug? Ladybug!"
He had enough time to leap back to the school, and hid between the buildings across the street before turning back. Plagg zipped around, groaning hungrily, but Adrien ignored it.
"Does she think I'm annoying? Is that why she doesn't like me?"
"She said she's used to it, what's the big deal?"
"The "big deal" is that I probably messed up my chance with Ladybug! What if all those times I was trying to impress her did just the opposite?!"
"Then just stop bragging around her, problem fixed."
"It's not that easy, Plagg. Even if I do, I don't know how to actually win her over after all this time."
"Dude, just be yourself. You're like, the nicest guy I know! She'll go nuts for that."
"And how exactly am I supposed to do that while we're busy saving Paris? Besides..." He almost looked as though he were going to continue, and then the wind whooshed out of him with a long, drawn out sigh. "You heard her. She's already found someone. They're probably already happy together."
His disappointed musings were cut short when a familiar car rolled up to the front of the school. "C'mon, Plagg. Let's go home." He opened his outer shirt up to let him in, and trudged across the street.
When Marinette got in her room, she was distraught. Tikki sighed, plopping down on her bed tiredly.
"Tikki, am I doing the right thing?"
"About what, Marinette?"
"About trying to get Adrien to fall for me! Tikki, what if I came out and confessed to him? Would people react the same way? Would there be akumas, this time coming after me?"
"That's hard to say," she admitted. "Some of these akumas are happening because of Ladybug and Cat Noir. They probably wouldn't care so much about "Marinette".
"But what if they do!?" She wailed. "What if I get hordes of crazy fans coming after me everywhere I go, and all our dates are hounded by the press and even more crazed fans destroy any chances we have at private time together and Adrien decides it's not worth the effort and dumps me and-"
"Marinette, calm down!" Tikki flew into her face to get her attention. "You're worrying too much! It's not going to be as bad as you think."
"...But if I am targeted, that means Chat Noir would have to face them on his own. And I'd have to keep switching between myself and "Ladybug" and I could mess up somehow. I mean, he almost discovered my identity already! If I have to keep changing, things could slip up for sure!"
"You're right, it is a risky plan," Tikki agreed sympathetically. "More than anything, I think other people would start to get suspicious too."
"Tikki, does this mean I… I can't be with him? Not until Hawkmoth's gone?"
"You could still accept his feelings as Ladybug."
"But I want real dates, Tikki! I want us to go to the movies together, go to concerts, and go out for ice cream, and be able to go on romantic outings! We can't do that as superheroes!"
"You're right, you have to do what's best for Paris. But even if you can't go out like you wanted, are you really ok with him never knowing how you really feel?" Tikki asked pointedly. "It's your choice, Marinette. But I think you'll be happier at least letting him know."
Marinette was silent as she looked at her phone, where the smiling face of her love stared brightly up at her. A hero listened to her head, not her heart. The question was, what was the right choice when even your head was a mess?
A few miles away, someone else was wondering the same thing. He was staring solemnly out his car window with a growing ache of disappointment.
I don't love him because I think he can "save me". I love him because he's kind to me.
It just didn't make sense to him. She was brave, and confident, practically a genius in her own creative way, and she just wanted someone "nice"?
Nah, this guy, whoever he was, had to be the most perfect guy on the planet. From the sounds of it he was friendly, kind, and ridiculously handsome, even moreso than him. Not in a "vain" way, but come on, he was a literal model, and she was saying some other guy's smile was the most beautiful thing in the world. And he was helpful and "sweet" on top of everything else. Honestly, how was he ever going to compete with that? He'd love to try to be "kind" and "helpful" to win her over, it wasn't like he didn't know how. The only way would be if they went out somewhere, just to hang out or something. But she never agreed to it every time he tried. More than anything, he really wanted to meet this guy for himself. Who the heck was perfect enough to catch the eye of Ladybug?
He bumped his head against the window, brows crinkling as his jealousy stirred again. This guy sounded too good to be true. Adrien hoped he was secretly a jerk or something.
But even if he was, there was… really no point, was there?
Sorry. But I'm in love with someone else.
Marinette was right. Ladybug hadn't fallen in love with him after all. Maybe it was time he finally switched targets. For good this time.
When they came through the door, he had prepared himself to trudge up the stairs to get started on his homework, but was surprised at Nathalie's voice speaking to him from the door.
"Adrien, your father wishes to see you."
He blinked, wondering why he was breaking his schedule. He knew for a fact that the man was normally finalizing his themes for the upcoming lines around this hour. Yet he followed her into the man's office, looking at his father's back. The man was staring up at the golden painting of his mother.
"Is it true?" He asked. "Are you in love with Ladybug?"
Adrien sighed. He'd gone through this all week already, and it was starting to wear on him. Plus, he thought the man was convinced by now. He let his head drop as he forced himself to speak. "No, father. She's just been protecting me from all the akuma attacks. There's nothing between us."
"I didn't ask if there was anything between you," He said suddenly, curtly as he turned to look at him over his shoulder. "I asked if you are in love with Ladybug."
Adrien flinched, both from the question, and the steely tone from the man. It was nothing like the excited barrages all through the week. Those eyes that bore down on him weren't like anything he'd ever seen before on him. And for a weird, strange moment, he felt scared. Not in his usual "respect" of his father's authority, but an honest to goodness fear of the consequences of his answer.
But the fear was pointless, worthless, and he dropped his gaze. "No, Father. Now can I please go?" He asked, voice cracking as he held himself together.
"...Very well. You may go," He said briskly.
The boy gratefully beat a hasty retreat, and the door shut with finality behind him. Nathalie looked up at Gabriel.
"What do you plan to do, sir?"
"Hard to say. I cannot have him admit to anything without revealing who I am."
"And if it's true?"
The silence was heavy, so much so that even Nathalie was worried.
"… This changes nothing. The plan is still the same. Tomorrow, we'll begin."
"We should break up."
Chat Noir, who had just told her that he didn't have much time since his father wanted him for some kind of appearance, stared at her. "...What?"
"With you as "Adrien"." Ladybug explained. "No one believes we aren't a thing. So go on TV, and say that we were secretly dating, but now all the akuma attacks have made you decide dating a superhero is too dangerous. We can't have people talking about us like this if it's causing this much commotion."
She expected his hesitation from her suggestion, and an argument, of course, and was already bracing herself for his rebuttal.
"Uuuum, isn't there something else we could try?"
"Look, Cat Noir, I know this will be hard with your feelings for me, but if we can just convince people that we're not involved, then-"
"It's not that!" He said quickly. "I know we have to do something. I just don't want to say that we've already been dating, since… Well..." He seemed oddly hesitant, nervous, and uncomfortable in a way Ladybug couldn't ever remember seeing him. "I may… want to ask someone out soon, and it would look pretty bad if I said I had just been dating someone."
Ladybug blinked, wide-eyed. "...What?"
"You remember Kagami, right?" He said, cheeks turning a little pink. "She's actually my fencing partner. We've been hanging out for a while. She's pretty cool, and… she told me recently she's fallen for me, so lately I've been thinking that maybe… we should… give it a try?"
He was looking at her, almost… Nervously? Or was it hopefully? Ladybug couldn't be sure, she was too busy trying and failing to make her mouth shut.
"Ladybug?"
"Oh, wow Cat Noir, I had no idea!" She managed to say instead, forcing herself to smile. "Congratulations! But wow I'm sure surprised, I mean… Kagami just seems so, you know, serious! I-I didn't think she was your type!"
"Yeah, but she can be pretty cool at times," He said, and there was an oddly… sad glint to his smile. "She's actually nice once you get to know her. And she's strong, too. She could probably even give you a run for your money," he joked.
But then he fell silent, looking down at his hands on top of his pole. Ladybug did the same, trying to filter through the emotions suddenly tumbling through her.
'He's… he's giving up on me. I mean on Ladybug, and going for...'
"Wasn't…. there someone else?" She asked in a small voice. And she wanted to kick herself, but the words just wouldn't stop, because she had to know, she had to hear for herself. "That- that girl who tried to have a date with you. Maribell or something? She- she said something when I rescued her, and..."
"Marinette? She told you about that?" He winced, rubbing at the back of his head. "Ah, yeah, that was tough. I'm glad she feels better about it now. But she's just a friend. I couldn't ever really see her like that."
She pressed her lips together, and her hands wouldn't stop shaking. "Oh..."
"Don't get me wrong, she's really nice!" Ever the nice guy, he was quick to praise and speak well of her. "She's super helpful, and talented! I'm glad to have her as a friend. But we've barely had a real conversation," he finally admitted with a half-shrug that said 'oh well, that's life'. "She's super shy, and so nervous all the time. I try to help when I can, but I think she just flusters so easy it's hard to really get to know her, you know? I kinda worry about her sometimes..."
And as she looked at him, her cheeks grew red until she finally buried her face in her hands. Ugh, she knew it! She knew he couldn't possibly fall in love with her stupid, clumsy self! Not only was her crush getting in the way, but her fear of him "realizing" who she really was just made her more nervous, which made their interactions… well, just as he described. No wonder he never fell for her.
"Ladybug? Are you feeling alright?"
"I'm fine!" She assured, smiling up at him weakly. "I'm really glad! You finally have a chance to be happy!I'm sure you and Kagami will be great together!"
She could see his face falling, his expressions an open book, as always. But he was quick to smile back, and he reached for her hand. "I'm always happy whenever I'm with you, milady," he assured, bringing her hand to his lips. "You'll always have a special place in my heart."
His attention on her hand, he didn't see the pain on her face, or the longing in her eyes. Only the saddened smile. "...I know, Cat Noir." Then she pulled her hand back. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Of course," he said. Then stepped back to bow low. "Until next time."
And then he was gone, already vanished into the night. She stood under the moonlight, gazing longingly up at the stars.
"This is what's best for Paris… isn't it?"
"Marinette! Why didn't you tell him?!"
"You heard him, Tikki. He's already going for Kagami."
"The only reason he's going for Kagami is because he thinks he doesn't know you! But he does!"
"But I can't tell him that! AAAAAAAGH, TIKKI THIS IS THE WORST!" She fell to her knees, grabbing at her head as she cried to the ceiling. "I know he's in love with me but I can't tell him why!"
"Listen to me, Marinette!" She zipped in front of her face, gesturing and flitting about wildly as she ranted. "Hawkmoth is still out there, and your number one priority is stopping him and all these akumas! But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your happiness to do it! You can't tell Adrien who you are, but you can still tell him you love him! Even if he can only see a part of you right now, isn't it worth it to be with him, even if it's only to save Paris?"
Marinette looked up at the energetic and emotional kwami, smiling slowly as she started bringing the pieces into place. "You're right… you're right, Tikki! We can still be together!"
"Yes!" The kwami cheered. "Now you have to go to him, tonight, before he talks to Kagami!"
"Tikki, SPOTS-!"
"WAIT! … I'm still hungry."
"Oh, sorry."
A few minutes of eating, and then a transformation later, Marinette was bolting down the rooftops of Paris, sailing and leaping for her destination. Time and time again she had failed to tell Adrien the truth of how she felt, and her clumsy nature and terrible luck just spawned her at every turn. But would it be different as Ladybug? Would she have the confidence and the luck to finally get her feelings across to him?
She stopped outside his house, ducking down to peer over the edge of the roof. Outside his gate was a swarm of reporters and cameras hounding him, and his assistant holding up her tablet device.
"What's going on?" Ladybug wondered out loud, before memory served her, and she answered her own question. "Oh, that's right! Cat Noir said his dad had something planned."
Of course, this far away, she couldn't hear what was being said, so she pulled out her yo-yo and activated the screen.
"Don't be bemused, it's just the news. I'm Nadia Chamack, right outside Gabriel Agreste's mansion, where he's called a press conference in light of the recent events centering around his son, Adrien."
The camera zoomed in on the pair, Adrien of course appearing taller next to his father on the video call screen. Adrien smiled at the cameras obligatorily, though seemed just as in the dark as the rest.
"My son has been the center of many rumors lately, which I would appreciate to cease immediately, given the danger it keeps putting him in. I cannot bare to see him in such a position. That being said, I am eternally indebted to Ladybug and Cat Noir for protecting him from the onslaught of Akuma attacks recently. As a token of appreciation, I'd like to invite them both to dinner to the establishment of their choice."
Ladybug gasped, eyes honed in on both the older man, and his young son, who looked to with equal surprise. "A… dinner?"
Down below, in the center of the hubbub, Adrien's surprise made way for disappointment. "Father, you're wasting your time. Ladybug never accepts these invitations, you know that."
"I do," the man assured. "But so long as the sentiment is out there, I'm sure the message will get across."
He raised a brow, a little confused as to how that worked, until a surprised shout from the reporters got his attention. The sea of paparazzi parted before them, showing a familiar red-clad superheroine rising from her three-point landing, and making her way toward them.
Adrien gaped. "Ladybug?"
"Gabriel Agreste," she acknowledged, her lips curling into a smirk. "I accept your invitation."

[WIP]June 2023 report (6P n 3000+ words story x 2)
[Reward] https://wingr.fanbox.cc/posts/6124990 https://subscribestar.adult/posts/924349 https://discord.com/channels/725318162207473764/725338105606832162/1116298882889035858
Sorry for keep no updates. No Chinese text for this long report... I don't want to spent 1 more hour for just reporting. As many task go to around 50% done and then switch. This make every tasks not completed.
1) Konte
Weekend drawing and I forget push stream for picarto OTL
I resume this long long time ago commission. The final picture is almost done. And I also repaint the first one This one. I want to draw an new picture for June Bride.
2) KKS
I said there is some animation going to release. But... yet. not finished yet
Head fuck > This one 90% done. If I don't arrange the background it's 100% done. But just very simple 5s anime. Eating > suck at eat scene. I just tried the boobs tearing Bronya Boobs plays > This is boobs play test purpose. It supposed to tear off her boobs in final. But the tearing one on hold
For doing these. I make many unused things... First I need to low down the loading. Silmeria cards now has Overlay skin < original ; but cut all alt clothes out to reduce file size Overlay but no head < remove all head custom texture. This use for the headless body. Without overlay headless body < Supposed for sliced arms and leg usage. Without any custom texture. Card size from 8mb to 300kb
Do all this file size reduce. My timeline animation from 88mb reduce to 25mb. The main purpose is trying low down the PC usage.
Imagine if you use a 100mb character card. You copy it and sliced into head, upper body, lower body, arms, legs That is 7 char actually. This scene file at least 700mb. I guess if your PC not good enough. You would crash it while you save.
So... make a lite ver. is impossible OTL. Especially in a not really stable KKS studio.
And about KKS.
Recently I import some template video as background.
You can view the WIP and Boobs coordinate at Patron Discord WIP has 3 picture 1 > first trial for the template video background 2 > Roasted girl for the eating scene 3 > mating scene as another template
Mating scene is just... I suddenly want to build mating meat scene. Try to make her face as meat as possible.
Boobs coordinate... I remove the meat. even I put meat into it. Every size boobs make the meat in wrong position. For this coordinate. The format is Left Right side boobs set Nipple cut and no nipple boob Boob cut in half ; no nipple boob cut in half Nipple cut in half
So that is 8 x 2 (left and right) files.
Suppose for building the eating boobs animation. So I need to make the boobs in few pieces. And this is why character card lite ver. is important.
And... for doing this scene. I also try to find some MMD motion. That spent 1-2 days too. But unluckily these 2 days are wasted. Found nothing good...
3) KKS story writing
The 3rd story writing for the scene. Chinese ver. is done. But English is not done yet.
This is for the mother's day Silmeria execution story.
I build the similar story long ago. This time I try to finish it.
The story is about. 1) Introduction, let you know the boy and Silmeria setting 2) memory of boy fuck with his mother (above 2 would be text only. I won't build any picture for these 2 scene. And this is why I write story. If I build every scene. Just liked this mother day content. It originally is around 2020 or 2021...) 3) hanging his mother and cut her head 4) boy and her fans eat Silmeria
The story is base to pervious 2 animation.
I would write English ver. in future. But yea... on hold. This is why every content is 50% done only. You can try to use translate tool if you really hurry.
4) Moiji story writing (and Celia Cumani Aintree n Kashima)
This is before KKS writing. And this is the reason why I started write story.
I release more detail on pevious post
https://www.fanbox.cc/@wingr/posts/6073635
5) Clalaclan hanging remaster
This is Monday (5th June) Picarto streaming work.
I resume this one again. I took down it from my pixiv as uncensorship.
The remaster one... This is flow
1) repaint 2) add some expression (not base on old one... old expression can't use anymore, so need to build new) 3) SFW for full dress ver (maybe pixiv publishment I would post an non naked hanging) 4) story again
This is the 4th story I build. Chinese ver. is finished too. Same as pervious. If you hurry, please use translated tool to read.
The story is about 1) Short intro Princess Clalaclan got capture 2) Rape her. Princess defloration. (these 2 are text only too) 3) Hanging her 4) Eat her
For the picture. The main part is hanging. For now I extended. There would be 1) Before Hanging 2) Hanged 3) KK variant, tongue out, erect nipples, pissing 4) Show her death Naked hanging would be variant (story is not naked. So this is optional. Maybe there is another optional for standing severed head)
Eat her scene I would use AI for the body. This would just similar to the Blonde one I released. Naked posed > Roasted > Boobs sliced > remain head and bones only If you ask me, why AI. Why don't draw.
Aww... you see this post already. Do you think this report list is damn long? If I draw it. It would make the list even longer than now.
6) Nipple Sushi
/artworks/108761144
This one won't has patron content. This is sub product from KKS eating scene. I build nipples mask. So... it can be nipples sushi. So I make that and publish it as last week pixiv publishment.
Maybe I would use this in future.
7) [Manga] St. O'Niku College Open Day P7
I draw half or it (mean lineart)
See this on Patron Discord WIP too
But yea... this series page view is eating shit. That make me hesitate... Do I need to put time on this content which nobody wanted. So Hold again.
...
And PSO2 day boost lol. Man, I also need to have gaming rest.
Yea... many content are building. But none of it fully finished. This is why I can't make an new post.
If you ask where is these set Nanoha and Fate God Kiana Cooking Valkrie of Himeko
All these are on hold.
For the Himeko one. This one I suppose is a quick work only. The reuse of roast valkyrie. Instead of Kiana family. https://redwing2000.tumblr.com/post/697973931350638592/
This time is Himeko family. Cook her students and cook herself.
But ... it has been while already. So I hold it again.

Fun-Fic Feature #36
‘A Baseless Affliction’ by panaceaa
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: South Park Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Kyle Broflovski/Kenny McCormick, Kenny McCormick/Butters Stotch, Craig Tucker/Tweek Tweak, Eric Cartman/Butters Stotch
Summary:
On the eastern edge of South Park, there was a part of town that no one talked about. It was an unstable, insurmountable structure; thrown together in days and then left abandoned just as quickly to suffer the test of time.
If anyone cared to look hard enough, that’s where they’d find Kenny.
[Art Desc.] I have terrible coloring skills. OTL Sorry about that. My hand hurt midway into making everything look dark so I was hurrying it up. I tried to fix the lighting with MS picture manager (haha I got no photoshop nor the skills to use it anyways)
[Fic Comment] Another K2 fic, everyone! This one is set in the final year of highschool and I think it was perfect as it's the 'end' before going to a new beginning (aka college) and where you can finally think over things that happened in childhood - the things you did, the things you missed, and the things you regret which is exactly this fic in a way. It's in Kenny's POV and the narration describes his thoughts and emotions properly without being too long and boring. It felt like I don't have to leaf through it because I need to know what they were.
It made me laugh and smile, sad, surprised and all the right emotions and I won't lie, I clapped at the end. It was wonderful. If you need another K2 fic to read, please try this nice one-shot.

Monday Update 30/04/2018
Tumblr media
ENGLISH:
Hello everyone. Let’s keep talking this week about what’s done or isn’t, shall we? I think I’ve already mention how I want to keep these short.
Programming
One of the hardest part that slowed down the dev progress after finishing the writing has been the programming. My previous game, One Thousand Lies, was made in Renpy. Something like the staple for indie visual novels. While Renpy works well for itself it is pretty limited once you try to go a bit further and making modifications can become complex. Also the system how Renpy manages new versions, translations and some other features is pretty pretty basic (if I had to update OTL right now for anything, I would destroy everyone save data in the process) as well as there being a few bugs I couldn’t never get rid off while developing OTL (like the Gallery not working properly RANDOMLY for example). I tried to use Renpy for some time despite all this, but I had to switch to something else at some point if I wanted to step up some features.
So my adventure looking for a new engine began. Among all the possible choices the new Visual Novel Maker for example, from the same guys that make RPG Maker, is probably the strongest VN engine oriented right now. However it is pretty new, so there’s not much documentation and once again it is hard to do anything beyond what it brings by default. Not impossible though, but hard, since everything is based on Javascript and I pretty much hate that programming language (sorry for those 2 of you who actually like it).
There are more engines I’ve tried, but at the end I went for what every indie does, and for a reason: I’m using Unity.
At the end of the day Unity is powerful enough for anything I may need now and in the future (reminder that this is an episodic game so I want to release several games and have an engine that can keep up with any new ideas I may want to try), and it is free for indies unless I make a lot of money so there you have it. Worth it.
Tumblr media
Combined with the asset Utage, a japanese Visual Novel engine, Unity becomes a pretty powerful weapon. All the text part is handled by an excel file meaning it is really easy to edit without breaking everything. This compared with Renpy that for translation would search every line in the code then export them to a new file is a lot more convenient. Renpy had the nuance that any little change at the source would immediately not match with the translation and force you to copy paste them again, delete the old one, and if you wanted to keep some order you had to go through the code to make sure everything is in their right place.
For a Visual Novel, where changes to the text happen every single day, let it be for typos or editing, handling a translation was pretty much hell. With Utage however they are just two excel columns, one next to the other, making it extremely easy to work and edit. Even animations are included within the Excel document, meaning I can handle scenes easier always keeping control.
There are more functions like the file system management so you can even handle downloads of assets by batches, pretty useful for the phone version of the game to don’t destroy internet connections and to avoid compatibilities issues if you update the game. Another function for dicing images that I would probably talk about at a different update but that reduces the game size by A LOT. The main issue is that some (not all) of the engine documentation is in japanese, so is not really accessible for western developers, but the creators give support in english if needed.
In any case it took long to get the engine working to start scripting. But it is finally happening and all what’s left is just getting assets and spending time putting them all to work. This takes me to the next point...
What’s left?
For music we have some songs done already, but at the same time I don’t want to show them yet for particular reasons that I will explain when the time comes. Music production got delayed a bit but I hope I can give you guys more info soon. For Graphic Design in our team we have Winter. Graphic Design started a bit late so for now we only have the Textbox finished as you can see with the first image, and the logo is almost done (I wanted to finish it before announcing the game actually...). We have a lot of ideas and great designs coming for all the other menus and you have probably already noticed that the buttons at the screenshots are a bit unusual... Look forward for them!
Then for art we do have all main characters designed, but work for sprites is still needing around 4 characters (I will announce them as soon as they get done!). And from there we will go into CG work. CG will probably take the longest since they are really high definition and complex pictures, but you have seen what Naguri can do already so I’m sure you will love the results.
For backgrounds we are almost halfway done. 10 backgrounds finished, but we are going for a bit over 20. They are really detailed as you have seen already so they take some time but the quality is top-notch. At the end of the day quality is our main concern after all.
So there’s still a lot of work to get done. As I mentioned before the story is finished. Generally most indie VN devs has the issue that they don’t have their text finished and their development fail at some moment where they realize their story is not really that good, or they need to do many changes, and all their assets become unusable. This is something that many of you have probably already seen a few times with some Kickstarters for example. I wanted to make sure with Lotus Reverie that that wasn’t the case, that’s why I finished the entire episode text before getting assets, and that’s why it took so long to announce. Personally I have never understood those games promising more text and content for their projects if they reach some goals. I think any story has an optimal amount of words, making it longer doesn’t necessarily make it better, the opposite, it can affect the pacing and make it boring, and for that reason I wanted to make sure that part is handled beforehand properly.
In exchange the work that is left can be “reduced” to getting assets and putting them all together. This of course requires work but more than anything is just time and money. The story won’t change and there shouldn’t be situations where the entire development shifts to a new directions going into dev hell. However I hope you guys understand how I have real life responsibilities and work, and because of that I can’t really dedicate full time to the game. At the end I don’t really have much time neither money, but no matter if it takes longer or if it costs more than I expect, the game will come along. This is a project of passion first and foremost.
Until next update!
ESPAÑOL:
Hola a todos. Voy a seguir hablando esta semana sobre lo que ya está terminado y lo que no. Vamos al lío que como ya dije quiero mantener estas actualizaciones cortas.
Programación
Una de las partes más difícil y de las que ha retrasado todo el desarrollo tras terminar de escribir ha sido la programación. Mi juego anterior, One Thousand Lies, se hizo con Renpy que viene a ser algo así como el programa estándar para desarrollar novelas visuales. Renpy funciona bien para lo que necesita pero al mismo tiempo está bastante limitado si quieres ir un poco más lejos. Cualquier modificación que vaya más allá de sus funciones se vuelve excesivamente compleja.
Uno de los mayores problemas que tenía con Renpy era la forma en la que las traducciones se llevaban a cabo. Renpy te detectaba todas las líneas de texto dentro del código y te las exportaba para traducirlas. El problema es que si hacias algún cambio al texto a posteriori después de traducirlo (algo muy normal para una novela visual que siempre se está cambiando pequeños detalles como faltas o editando algunas frases) el juego ya no te lo iba a detectar, lo que requería volverlo a exportar, y de nuevo reorganizar las nuevas líneas, borrar a mano las antiguas. En fin un poco caótico. También Renpy tenía problemas con por ejemplo cualquier actualización o parche que quisieras sacar del juego, si actualizase OTL ahora mismo para cualquier cosa destruiría todas las partidas guardadas de los jugadores inexorablemente. Incluso también tenía algunos problemas con bugs bastante aleatorios como la Galería no funcionando A VECES al desbloquear imágenes. En definitiva, que Renpy ha sido el motor que he intentado usar durante bastante tiempo con LR pero estaba bastante limitado en muchos aspectos.
De ahí empezó mi aventura buscando un nuevo motor. Hay muchos y los he probado todos pero por ejemplo diría que Visual Novel Maker, de los creadores de RPG Maker, es el más potente de todos. Es muy nuevo y lleva poco tiempo en el mercado lo que hace que haya poca documentación y nuevamente, ciertas limitaciones, pero lo recomendaría sin duda si no fuera por un detalle: requiere Javascript si quieres hacer tu propio código para lo que sea. Cualquier modificación fuera de lo que ellos ofrecen se vuelve nuevamente más difícil de lo que debería y más si hay que usar Javascript que es el lenguaje que más odio (lo siento por las dos personas que os gusta esa cosa).
De manera que he acabado haciendo lo que todo desarrollador indie acaba haciendo: usar Unity.
Unity al final es lo suficientemente potente para hacer lo que sea tanto ahora como en el futuro. Mi plan es sacar varios episodios de LR al fin y al cabo por lo que voy a necesitar un motor que pueda soportar cualquier futura idea o problema que pueda surgir conforme pasen los años, y Unity además es gratis de usar para indies siempre y cuando no ganes mucho dinero así que es la conclusión lógica a elegir.
Tumblr media
Combinado con Utage, un engine japonés para hacer Visual Novels de la Asset Store de Unity, desarrollar una VN se vuelve bastante más conveniente. Todo el texto lo lleva un excel de manera que es muy fácil de editar cualquier cosa sin romperlo. A diferencia de Renpy tengo los idiomas en columnas del excel de manera que puedo cambiar lo que sea en uno u otro sin romperlo. Incluso las animaciones las puedo manejar con excel permitiéndole tener todo mucho más ordenado.
Hay muchas más funciones como el manejo de archivos que me permite organizar descargas a través de grupos de manera que para teléfonos móviles puedo reducir la cantidad de archivos que se van descargando para no destruir conexiones lentas y también permitir que juegues mientras se va descargando todo de forma paralela. También puedo actualizar el juego sin destruir archivos de guardado o crear incompatibilidades de versiones. Más funciones incluye el Dicing, que sirve para reducir el tamaño de las imágenes enormemente y del que ya hablaré en más detalle en otro momento.
El mayor problema que tiene es que no toda la documentación está traducida, lo que lo vuelve algo inaccesible a desarrolladores no japoneses. Pero los creadores ofrecen ayuda en inglés si la necesitas por lo que si eres un desarrollador creo que es una buena idea si estás buscando un motor con el que trabajar.
En cualquier caso me ha llevado mucho tiempo hasta que pude empezar el scripting del juego debido a la búsqueda de motores, pero eso ya está encaminado y todo lo que hace falta es terminar el resto de elementos y ponerlos juntos, que viene a ser una cuestión de tiempo más que nada. Lo que me lleva a mi siguiente punto.
¿Qué queda?
Para música tenemos unos cuantos temas hechos, pero al mismo tiempo no quiero mostrarlos todavía por razones particulares que ya explicaré cuando llegue el momento. La producción música se ha retrasado un poco pero espero poder daros más información pronto.
Para diseño gráfico en nuestro equipo tenemos a Winter. El diseño gráfico ha comenzado algo tarde por lo que por ahora tenemos es la caja de texto como habéis podido ver en las capturas. El logo está casi acabado sin embargo así que espero poder mostrarlo pronto e ir ya de lleno al resto de menús y otros elementos con el que tenemos muchas y muy buenas ideas que espero que os gusten (imagino que ya os habréis fijado que los botones de las capturas son un tanto particulares...).
Para arte ya tenemos a todos los personajes principales diseñados, pero queda trabajo de sprites para 4 de ellos. Espero poder anunciar poco a poco los personajes que quedan de la plantilla tan pronto como sus sprites estén finalizados. Tras eso iremos a por CG, que es la parte más larga y compleja ya que son imágenes de alta definición y complejas, pero ya habéis visto lo que Naguri puede hacer por lo que estoy seguro que os encantará los resultados.
Y finalmente para fondos estamos a medio camino de terminar. Llevamos 10 fondos de unos poco más de 20 que el juego tendrá en total. La calidad y el detalle de los mismos es impresionante como ya habéis visto por lo que lleva un tiempo acabar cada uno de ellos. Nuestra prioridad sin embargo es la calidad por encima de todo por lo que espero que comprendéis este ritmo.
Así que todavía queda mucho trabajo por delante. Como ya he mencionado antes la historia está finalizada. La mayoría de Novelas Visuales independientes tienen el problema que el texto no suele estar acabado conforme empiezan el resto del desarrollo, y aunque esto es más inteligente desde el punto de vista de tiempo suele dar el problema que la historia acaba cambiando o los resultados no son los que se esperaban y se entran en situaciones complejas. Arte que deja de ser utilizable, canciones que no encajan en ninguna escena, fragmentos de la historia que cambian completamente. Incluso en más de algún caso de Kickstarter muchos habréis visto como los desarrollos cambian por completo y se tiran años hasta poder tener un producto listo.
Eso es algo que quería evitar con LR, por eso la historia está finalizada. Nunca me ha parecido bien esos juegos que prometen “más escenas” o “más contenido” durante sus campañas. Es algo que no comprendo porque añadir más texto generalmente no suele ser sinónimo de mejor, al contrario, puede destruir el ritmo de la propia historia. No pienso hacer grandes cambios a la historia y el texto se va a quedar como está, garantizando que todo lo que queda de desarrollo es simplemente terminar el resto de elementos y unirlos. Esto al final es una cuestión de tiempo y dinero. No es que tenga mucho de los dos por desgracia, pero al menos puedo garantizar que no tarde más o menos, cueste menos o más, el juego acabará saliendo y no recibirá mucho más cambios. Este es un proyecto de pasión por encima de todo, y cueste lo que cueste le daré la calidad que merece.
Hasta la próxima actualización.

Kagakuro Gift Exchange: Tastes Like Cake
To: trip From: sheneverupdates Prompt: Kagami’s birthday and Kuroko tries his hardest to make a cake but it doesn’t work that well Message: I’m soooooo sorry for being late T-T. I couldn’t decide between making a fic or a picture, so I ended up doing both. Thank you for participating for the @kagakuroexchange and I hope you like it hun! Again, so sorry for making you wait OTL
“Nigou, down.” Kuroko chided, shooing the small dog that curiously sniffed at the cake he pulled out of the oven. But he was glad the puppy didn’t turn tail and run away from the smell this time. It was encouraging.
This was attempt number five.
The recipe was from his grandmother, who baked the most delicious cakes for his birthday. They were soft, moist and smelt rich with vanilla. Every bite was like heaven.
And Kuroko wanted to bake it himself for his boyfriend’s birthday.
But, it seemed that he didn’t get all the necessary information to bake it properly, such as: what order to mix the ingredients together, or how long to bake it in the oven. It wasn’t that Kuroko was a bad cook; he just hadn’t baked by himself before, and he didn’t know these things. During the first attempt, the cake set off the smoke alarm and was burnt to a crisp. The second attempt, he didn’t keep it in the oven long enough, and was still runny in the middle. He stuck it back in and ended up burning that too. The third attempt, Kuroko kept opening the oven door to check on it, determined not to burn this one too. Instead, the cake deflated. On the fourth attempt, Kuroko resorted to looking up how long to bake it on his phone. Everything seemed like it was fine, until Kuroko sampled it, and gagged. Turns out he’s been mixing up the sugar and the salt jars all this time.
Kuroko carefully sliced a small piece off the top of the cake and took a tentative bite. It was slightly tougher than how his grandmother makes it, but it was good. If anything, the center would be moist. Right?
Kuroko smiled in satisfaction and got the ingredients to make the icing.
Turns out, Kuroko was worse at decorating than baking.
The pieces he cut for the tiers were uneven and lopsided, his piping technique non-existent, and to top it off, he didn’t realize he had to wait for the cake to cool completely before frosting. So naturally, the icing was melting off.
Tumblr media
Kuroko pouted. ­­He didn’t expect this to be so hard.
“I don’t think Kagami-kun is going to be very impressed with this, Nigou.”
“Impressed with what?”
Kuroko jumped as he heard his lover’s voice next to his ear. “K-Kagami-kun! Don’t scare me like that.”
“You’re one to talk. Always appearing out of nowhere.” Kagami chuckled and placed a kiss on his shadow’s cheek as he wrapped his hands around his waist. “I’m home.”
“I didn’t hear you come in.” Kuroko chided lightly as he tried to block the taller male’s sight from what he was working on, with no avail.
“I did call out, but you didn’t answer. I guess you were too focused on…that?” Kagami guessed, tilting his head slightly as he got a better look at the cake on the table. A warm smile spread across his face as he understood what his boyfriend was up to. “Did you make that for me?”
Kuroko blushed, “It was supposed to be a surprise for your birthday. It’s not ready yet…and it turned out to be a disaster.”
“What? No way…so what if it’s a little lopsided, and melting, and you missed a spot there-oof!”
Kagami rubbed his stomach from where Kuroko elbowed him.
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding. I love it Kuroko, really. Especially the little basketballs you decorated on it. Nice touch.”
“…those are tigers.”
“Oh…really? Oh, wait I see it now. The whiskers…or stripes. They’re cute.” Kagami bit his lip, trying not to chuckle.
“If Kagami-kun keeps laughing, you won’t get a slice.”
“I’m not laughing.” Kagami snickered, as he hugged Kuroko tighter, “You’re just so cute, Kuroko. To go through all this trouble for me. You put so much effort. I really appreciate it.”
Kuroko fidgeted, feeling shy all of a sudden, “It’s really nothing, Kagami-kun. I just wanted to do something special for you on your birthday. It just didn’t come out as planned.”
“I don’t know about you, but I don’t judge a cake by how it looks,” Kagami’s lips pulled into a teasing smirk as he licked a smear of icing off of Kuroko’s cheek. “It’s the taste that counts, right?”
Tumblr media
Kuroko felt his cheeks glow again, “I…suppose.”
“Feed me?” The taller male requested innocently, though eyes sparked with mischief, like an overgrown child. And Kuroko couldn’t refuse him, not with that hopeful look on his face.
He cut off a piece of cake, turned to face him fully and lifted it to his lover’s lips.
Kagami took a small bite, “Mmm…sweet,” he complimented as he went in for a bigger, messy bite, taking Kuroko’s fingers in his mouth as well.
Kuroko gasped in surprise and giggled, “Kagami-kun!”
“M f’orry, I’f was jus’ ‘fo tasty,” he grinned and swallowed, his lips smeared with icing, “I wanted to make sure I got all of it.”
Kagami leaned forward, licking his lips, “You should really try this icing.”
Kuroko smiled, “If you insist.”
He stood on his toes and captured his boyfriend’s lips between his own. He sucked lightly, savouring the taste of the sweet frosting with a hint of vanilla. Kagami gave a content sigh and pressed their lips together more firmly. His tongue slipped into Kuroko’s mouth, giving him more of that sugary taste. Kuroko let out a soft moan, as Kagami ran his tongue over and under his own. Kagami’s large hands gripped his hips and lifted him on to the table. Kuroko leaned back on his elbow and swiped a large glob of icing off the cake. He gave his finger a sensual lick, enjoying how his partner’s eyes were glued on him. Without further prompting, Kagami closed the distance between them again, pressing his body further against the table.
Kagami hungrily lapped up more icing from his lips, as if the taste was the most addictive thing he knew.
‘Maybe,’ Kuroko thought to himself, ‘I’m not that bad at baking after all.’

Long Rules
|| Drama | Romance | Angst | Friendship | Crack | Action | Horror | Sci fi- || Apocalypse ||
|| GENERAL RULES ||
❣ Be respectful - this blog is anti-hate. I’m here for fun, and I’ll assume you are, too. If your idea of fun is to make others miserable, then this is not the blog for you. ❣ Unless it’s been planned, let’s not kill each other’s characters. (Doesn’t mean that they can’t try to kill each other, but without actual planning about this, I expect neither to succeed) ❣ Please avoid IC chat speak. I understand that not everyone is good at English, or people are like me- from a non-English country, but if you send me a, “Dat 4 u, dood” I will ignore this. Typos and bad grammer are one thing, but IC chat speak is another (idk about OOC - I do abbreviations and the likes myself too in there, but let’s keep the posts clean) ❣ If I cross any lines you have, or if you’re stuck on a reply, or if you just plain out don’t want to deal with me anymore (or maybe if you want to get to know me better?) then just talk to me and we’ll sort whatever problem arose out~ ❣ Reblog karma - I don’t really want to be bombarded with notifications of reblogs without actually getting interactions. I know that not every meme can be used for our characters, but if you’re just here for the memes and not for interactions, you are really in the wrong place, tbh. (personally I try to send out at least 1 ask for every 5 memes I reblog from someone. If I can’t, I just reblog from the source) ❣ If I follow you, I have read your rules. I will not send in passwords or whichever, the rules and muse pages are always read before I follow you if I can actually get to them. If I can’t, there is actually a fairly big chance I won’t follow you. ❣ You are not allowed to use my icons, unless you’re listed here
|| FOLLOWING ||
❣ You don’t need to be a mutual to interact with me. I interact with non-mutuals as well. ❣ If I don’t follow you, or unfollow you, it can be for various reasons. One of the biggest reasons tend to be that people don’t cut their posts. I often check for replies on my phone, so you can probably see why long threads would be a problem. ❣ Another reason why I unfollow people is due to a lack of interaction. If I follow you (back), that means that I want to interact with you. As a result, I will generally react to things like starter calls and the likes (though, if you don’t follow me back and don’t wish to interact, you’re not obligated to send me something). If there has been no chance to like a starter call, or if there has been no activity towards my own startercall/memes/etc, I will take this as a sign that you do not wish to interact, and will unfollow you to keep my dash clean.
|| POSTING ||
❣ Whether you write a one liner or paragraphs is all the same to me. Whichever you write, I’ll try to mirror~  … Unless you write a chapter each post, then I very likely won’t to avoid needlessly adding filler to my posts just to make their length match. ❣ On the other hand, if I give you several paragraphs and you give me a sentence or something, I will assume you lack interest in the thread, and drop it. ❣ Don’t rush me for replies - gentle reminders are okay though - I’ll admit I’m a goldfish, and my dash is messy af so sometimes posts escape me. But wait at least 24 hours before sending me a reminder. ❣ If you want to throw me a starter or an ask, or whatever, just go ahead and send them at me~ I’ll reply to pretty much anything ^^ Just make sure to tag me in post if you throw me a regular starter. ❣  Does something in my posts trigger you? Please let me know, and I’ll take the utmost caution to avoid it in our threads, and to tag it if it shows up in other threads. I want you to have a good time, and I want you to be able to enjoy yourself freely, without risk of triggers. ❣ Please mention the meme when you send in an ask. I reblog a lot of memes that use the same icons, so it’ll get hard to keep them apart if you don’t. Otherwise I might end up responding with the wrong meme, or I might not know what meme to respond to at all and forgo responding all together. ❣ You are allowed to turn any ask of yours I answer, into a thread. Just as how you are allowed to simply leave it as is.
|| SHIPPING ||
❣ Obviously shipping is okay, since I’m a Shipwhore multi ship roleplayer. However, force ships are a no-go; chemistry ships only. Doesn’t make me any less of a ship whore though. ❣ Most of my characters are multi-ship, but some of my characters have the option to become single ship, depending on how much I like a ship - and if there aren’t any relationships for that character yet. ❣ Since I encounter a lot of people, it’s possible that my character is shipped with the canon character you play as well. This does not mean that our characters will automatically be shipped as well. Different muns means different verses, and things can end up completely differently, depending on how our threads go. ❣ Not every RP has to include romantic shipping. Characters can also just get along as friends, or hate each other’s guts. Anything is possible.
|| CHARACTERS ||
❣ Mun and muses are completely different! Like, REALLY different xD;; So please don’t assume that because my character thinks something, I think the same. ❣ Most of the ages of my characters are based on the setting they were created for. However, I can up/lower ages whenever needed if a plot requires it. Just let me know if you’d like this :3 ❣ Most of my characters only have anime / art pictures. Only Eiri has a RL faceclaim. If you have RL faceclaims, Eiri is the only one I’ll use against you.
|| CHARACTERS I’D RATHER NOT RP AGAINST ||
Please note that I am in no way or shape calling you a bad roleplayer for roleplaying one of the characters on this little list. It is just my personal preference to avoid these characters, mostly due to certain reasons. ❣ Vampire Knight: Human!Kaname - I’m sorry, but I really hate the VK ending, and I especially hate this part of it since I feel like Hino completely ruined him with doing this (besides, isn’t all he does now wander around doing nothing because Yuuki decided it was a good idea to combust in front of her kids so this could happen??? Damn, Hino—). Unless it’s agreed on for a plot (say, for the Hirai verse plot), I prefer to simply keep ignoring the ending OTL. ❣ Vampire Knight: Ai Kuran - I’m sorry, I have an exclusive Ai Kuran who I love dearly! ( reginae-noctis ) ❣ Child!Only blogs: If you are a blog dedicated to a child muse, then I’m sorry, but I’d rather not roleplay with you. I find it incredibly awkward to play against child!characters if they are in no way or shape related to my character. ❣ Furries: I’m sorry, but I do not like them, especially after certain roleplays I’ve had in the past. Characters with animal ears/tails will be considered for threads, but if there is full on fur then I’m afraid I won’t consider it. ❣ Kingdom Hearts blogs: I’m sorry, because of some things I really don’t like KH?? O-Q

That's super cool you work at a pet shop! Any crazy stories?
SO. MANY. 
Ironically, right now a customer hunted me down on facebook and is messaging me nonstop about her rats. I work a lot with small animals so one of my coworkers said she should “go talk with Emily” if she has intensive care questions. I work for a family business so most people know our last name which made it very easy for her to find me on facebook OTL She’s hyper paranoid about everything so every tiny reaction from her rats is a huge panic. Granted, one of her rats MIGHT have a mild URI so I told her she should see a vet. Her response “I didn’t get these animals with the intentions of having to take them to the vet. I can’t afford it.” 
FUN FACT: DON’T GET AN ANIMAL WITHOUT BEING PREPARED FOR VET CARE. HOLY SHIT. 
Anyways that’s my current drama. My top two stories are that one time someone brought in their sickly, lethargic rabbit that they adopted from a friend of theirs. The poor thing had no muscle mass and was so dehydrated I could barely believe it was still alive. I asked about its care in the previous home and, when I asked about nutrition, the lady was like “Oh! I have its food in the car - hold on!” Guess what she came back with? A bag of dog food. DOG. FOOD. I’m sorry but it says DOG on it and has a picture of a DOG. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK A RABBIT CAN EAT THIS???? I tried to stay calm and polite (bc these people just took the rabbit from someone else and had no control over its diet up until now) while I explained that rabbits are HERBIVORES and therefore don’t need a meat-based diet. Like dog food. 
I saw the rabbit a few months later and it was much much better. After some serious vet attention and a healthy, complete RABBIT DIET - the little guy was as good as new. 
My other favourite story was an almost 45 min phone call I had with a woman who wanted to buy all of our bettas and some bowls (which I don’t recommend) for them. At the time I had around 20 bettas or so and really didn’t know why some random lady would want 20 bettas. I asked her what they were for and she informed me that she was going to be giving them out as “loot bags” at her daughter’s bday party. /loud sigh/ I explained that we don’t sell animals to people with talking to the actual owners first so that they know the full and complete care, and what to expect when keeping this animal. I didn’t and still don’t want someone getting an animal they didn’t plan for and then realizing ten minutes that they don’t want it. Or, even worse, having the animal die bc these people didn’t know how to care for it properly. She didn’t seem to care honestly and said that if the kids didn’t want the fish she’d set them free in our city’s river to “return to the circle of life”. I’m just ...........................................
I spent 20 mins or so repeating myself - that we wouldn’t sell an animal without talking with the owner - she asked if she could buy them and then return the ones that people didn’t want. I said no. She just didn’t get it. She finally realized that I wasn’t gonna sell her any fish so she goes “you sell shrimp too, right?” me: “Yes, ma’am. We have several different species of shrimp - ghost, amano, cherry, bee, etc.” I should have seen this coming but ya know. She goes “alright how about I get some shrimps and then if the kids don’t want them we can just cook them up.” 
1) DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO A SINGLE WORD I JUST SAID???????
2) THESE SHRIMP ARE NOT THE KIND OF SHRIMP YOU BUY FROM THE GROCERY STORE FOR THE FUCKING BARBECUE. 
It took another long conversation, along the same lines as the previous, to get her to back down. I was so tired by the end of it and honestly thought it was a prank call but didn’t dare ask if it was. 
The things we deal with.
edit: OH AND THERE WAS THIS ONE MAN THAT CALLED ME A C*NT BC I WOULDN’T SELL HIM A MALE RAT TO LIVE WITH HIS FEMALE ONE OR OUR RESCUE RABBIT TO FEED TO HIS ILLEGAL BOA. it was a great time

(struggling to figure out how to ask all of them... also obv no spoilers ;u;) okay for character specific questions: 13 I don't think I've questioned any character's actions so ┐( シ)┌ 14 I guess Zoro?? maybe Travis 21 tell me about the human experiences of Luffy! 22 Zoro 30 eh just ramble about the Straw Hats living human lives? 42, 43, 49 & 50 all of the crew when they were in Earthverse !
These were fun! Well, most of them. For questions 21, 30, 42, 43, 49, and 50…they aren't things I've thought too much about before. I'm not in the right frame of mind to try at the moment and I didn't want to let the ask sit there unanswered until I did manage to think of something, so I'm just going to go ahead and skip them for now, sorry! ^^;
1: what inspires you?
Having a good idea I can be excited about? IDK. X'D
2: one of your favorite comments/reviews on this chapter/verse?
I love all my comments. ;u; I love the comments that go into detail about what they thought, the comments that are just a mess of flailing, the comments that tell me they stayed up all night reading, the comments that are just a line or two to say they liked it, and everything in between. Even if I could decide on one to use as an example, I wouldn't want to make anyone feel like I didn't appreciate their comment because it didn't look like that one.
3: what motivates you?
Being excited about an idea, getting to write a part I've been looking forward to, getting a nice comment on a fic, having the house to myself.
4: what time of the day/night do you like to write?
Either afternoon or at night once my mom's gone to bed.
5: do you write scenes in a linear fashion or do you write future scenes/dialogues sometimes?
I'll write snippets of future scenes if I think of something I don't want to lose, but otherwise I write pretty much linearly (aside from going back to rewrite previous scenes/chapters).
6: hardest/easiest character to write for?
I don't know if any of them are easy, exactly. It also depends on the scene and what they're going to be doing. Sometimes I know exactly how they'll behave, and sometimes I just can't picture how a character would react to a particular event or line of dialogue.
But generally Zoro isn't too bad. (Also Travis, because he's my character, though that still doesn't mean I know how he'll respond to things all the time, unfortunately.) Hardest is probably Flirty!Sanji and Franky. I've never tried writing from Franky's point of view, but he's hard enough from someone else's that I'm not eager to try. Chopper and Robin aren't too bad from someone else's POV, but I think I might have trouble writing from theirs. And Luffy can be difficult occasionally, depending on the situation. (Also Sven is hard, even though he’s my character.)
7: hardest/easiest verse to write for?
Well, I only have one at the moment, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Though once I actually start writing some of my other ideas, I have a feeling Mistyverse will still be the easiest, just because I've been working in it for so long.
8: (if you have either or both) how do you manage time with writing, work, school etc.?
Very badly. ^^;; I'm terrible at time management.
9: what tv shows, books, or movies inspire for this verse, if any?
Story-wise, I can't think of anything specific (there may have been and I've just forgotten, but). Character-wise, Archer from Fate/Stay Night and Furuya Rei/Amuro Tōru/Bourbon from Detective Conan were a big influence when I was developing Travis.
10: any writing advice?
I don't feel confident enough to give advice to other people, haha.
11: (if you use) what do you like about archiveofourown?
The tag system. It can be very helpful in finding a certain subject or giving me a better idea of what the fic is about. Also the "mark for later" option. And the ability to have a series. It makes it much easier not to miss things when there are multiple fics in a story. And I like that the author isn't sent a notice when someone subscribes/can’t see the names of people who have subscribed. I feel much less awkward about subscribing to fics that are years old or about a very guilty pleasure. :P
12: anything you would do to make archiveofourown different/change it?
I…kind of have a list…
– Add a way to sort subscriptions by fandom! Sometimes I want to reread fic for a particular series and if I don't remember the title(s), going through multiple pages of fics and opening them one by one is such a pain.
– Give us a way to mark main vs. minor characters and relationships in fics. It's really annoying searching for fics about a certain character or pairing and getting dozens of fics that focus on someone/thing else entirely, with whatever you were looking for getting maybe a couple of scenes in the background. I've seen authors try to tag things to indicate this themselves, but most (including me ^^; ) don't do it, and in any case, I'd like an actual option I can mark in a search.
– It'd be cool to be able to put spoiler warnings on tags. Click to view, highlight, something.
– Filter IDs are very helpful, but it would be so much easier if we could just click a button to exclude things like explicit fics, “multi” fics (I’m so tired of being overrun with smutty “multi” fics when I search for “gen” without a filter), NOTPs, fandoms I don’t like…and so on.
– Being able to choose whether or not crossovers are included in the search results. I like a good crossover, but sometimes I just want fics for the one series.
– Don’t have author replies count under total number of comments. Also a PM system would be nice.
(If any of this is possible and it’s just that I don’t know about it, someone please tell me. X’D)
14: what is the arc for this character (redemption, etc.)?
I find it hard to put things like this into words (and I don't want to give spoilers), so…I'm going to pass on this as well. ^^;
15: ask me any spoilers you’re curious about for a verse, and i’ll post the answer in the tags
I'm glad you didn't ask for any because usually I love giving spoilers but we're far enough into the story now that most things I could say are Big Spoilers for the climax/ending that I really don't want to give away ahead of time. So thanks for not tempting me. XD
16: do you ever hand write? why or why not?
Once in a long while, if I think of a line I don't want to forget after I've turned my computer off, I'll jot it down on a notepad so I'll remember it the next day. Otherwise, no. My handwriting is slow as molasses and makes my hand tired. ^^;
17: do you listen to music while you write?
Almost always. 8D Just instrumentals, though.
18: any fanmixes you’ve made for this fic/verse?
Not really, no. I have a playlist I use when I'm writing scenes with Travis, and I'm working on one for fight scenes in general, but that's the closest I've got.
19: any edits or art you’ve made for this fic/verse/any edits readers have made? if not, what visuals would you use for one?
All the art I've posted for Mistyverse is here (If I get any fanart in the future, that's where it will be, too). I have quite a bit of art I haven't posted, mostly of Travis or unfinished attempts to draw specific scenes (I have an attempted map of the island in OtMS that I'm too embarrassed to look at again X'D).
20: what songs were you listening to during this scene/chapter?Mostly I just shuffle my giant instrumental playlist. Or if I'm in the mood for something new, I go looking on YouTube or similar places for writing playlists. As far as music for specific scenes/chapters, I think I pretty much covered that in question 13 here.
22: favorite line/quote/inner monologue from this character?
Zoro… At the moment, probably:
Zoro's heart had nearly stopped when he'd seen those hands. Or it would have, if he'd still had one.
Damn it, when did I start stealing Brook's lines?
23: feelings on epistolary fic?
It can be interesting. c: I like it best when letters/diary entries/whatever are mixed with more traditional narrative, but they can make for a fun story.
24: do you outline?
Yep! Not super-detailed outlines, usually, but I prefer having some sense of where things are going.
25: if you outline, do you edit it frequently?
Not that often, no. I don't think I've even looked at the outline for FMaA in a while, actually, because things got very vague toward the end, outside of a few specifics, and I have most of the necessary info in my head at this point.
26: anything you’re planning to write in your fic that you’re worried readers might like?
I think this is supposed to be "that you're worried readers might not like". Because otherwise…why would someone liking my stuff make me worried? Barring creepy stalkers and the like. Assuming it's "not"…
Ohhh yeah. I might hide under the covers for about a week when I post those parts… X’D
27: when you read fic, how often do you comment?
Not…very often. ;;OTL I know how much comments mean to writers, especially now that I've had firsthand experience, but I still find it a difficult thing to do. And lately, when I do comment, more often than not I do it anonymously, even if all I have to say is praise. It's just more comfortable for me that way. If I leave a signed in comment, it usually means I really liked the fic.
28: any scene/line you wrote that you didn’t expect to write/that surprised you once it was written?
Uhh…first thing that comes to mind is when they were at the museum and got roped into playing themselves. I had planned for their disguises to be seen through and for it to be assumed that they were cosplaying, but the rest of it just sort of happened. Including Maya; I knew she was going to be in the story, but I didn’t know she was going to be on that island or working at the museum until she showed up in the fruit room. X’D I don’t even remember how I was originally going to introduce her, except that it was going to be a lot closer to the end.
29: do you eat or drink anything while you write?
Not while I'm writing, but I like to have a drink and sometimes a snack before I start. Most often chai. It helps me get in the mood.
32: what are your stats for this story/verse?
Is…this supposed to mean, like…number of kudos/comments/hits. etc? If it means something else, someone tell me and I'll adjust my answer. :P
Just doing the two main fics (and on FFN the shorts are part of OtMS anyway, so):
On the Misty Shore
AO3 – Kudos: 75, Comments: 11, Bookmarks: 10, Hits: 1350
FFN – Reviews: 86, Favorites: 165, Followers: 63, Communities: 1, Views: 21,005
From Mist and Ashes
AO3 – Kudos: 117, Comments: 37, Bookmarks: 17, Hits: 1739
FFN – Reviews: 94, Favorites: 101, Followers: 129, Views: 11.433
33: favorite one-shot you’ve written?
Ah…hmm. I haven't actually written any one-shots as in "self-contained, stand-alone story" yet (I have plans!). Out of the one-shot extras that I wrote for Mistyverse…maybe Proof? It was the most self-indulgent of the three and the most fun to write.
34: a scene/paragraph you wrote that you’re proud of
I'm pretty happy with most of the stuff in chapters 18 and 19…and the scene in 16 where Zoro reveals himself…and Zoro and Travis’s fight in the museum in 15…and probably more that I’m not thinking of, but I’m not going to reread the whole thing again right now. :P
35: any foreshadowing/symbolism you wrote that you hope readers didn’t miss?
Yes, but at the same time I hope most people don't put the pieces together until things get revealed later.
36: any scenes you wrote that parallel the canon verse?
I guess maybe the stuff with Zoro and Chidori in 17? Kind of?
37: do you use quotes in the beginning notes/intro to your chapters? if so, what are some of your favorites/what are their significance?
Nope, I don't.
38: do you title your chapters? what’s your favorite chapter title? what’s its significance/why did you choose it?
Yes, I love titling chapters. Even when I can't think of anything good. Favorite chapter title is definitely Law and Order. Because it has a double meaning/pun (the structure and rules of Whitestone + Law showing up at the end).
39: any alternate fic titles you were considering for this verse?
I had a couple others I was playing with, at least for FMaA, but who knows what they were? Not me. XD
40: chapter you’re most proud of in this verse?
At the moment, I'd say it's a tossup between 15, 16, 18, and 19.
41: chapter that was the most fun to write in this verse?
Hmm. 12 was the easiest, and it's always fun when I'm not struggling with a chapter. The whole arc on Crinia (chapters 13 – 15) was pretty fun, even when it got difficult. 18 – 19, too. And I felt like chapter 20 was crap while I was writing it, but it was silly fun, and it doesn't seem as terrible when I reread it now.
44: have you shared your outline with anyone? if so, what did they think of it?
The outline itself, no. Parts of it are pretty different from what I actually ended up writing; it might be fun to share some of it sometime. c:
45: anyone you share excerpts with?
*pokes you​* And I've posted a few here before, too. They're usually pretty short, though. Just a line or two.
46: story with the most kudos (AO3)?
From Mist and Ashes.
47: story with the most comments?
From Mist and Ashes again. :P
48: a happy future moment you’ve written/have planned for this ship? (will post under read more for spoilers)
*ignores the "ship" part* Hmm…I have no idea if I'll ever actually write it, but in my list of ideas for FMaA bonus scenes I have one where Zoro cooks for everyone (just because he can't eat anymore doesn't mean he can't cook—he lived on that island by himself for a long time before he died, after all). Also (for the benefit of anyone else reading this), sircerenade and I have discussed Brook and Zoro bonding over stuff before (being "grandpa figures", sharing skull/ghost jokes, etc.). Some of it may be more bittersweet than happy, but it’s a cute bittersweet, so.
