Alright, so hear me out

(this is another long one. Like. Seriously. It has 2.6k words.)

*yes, I edited this like 5 mins after I posted it just to add some more, oops

Post cannon Labru where Laios tries to help Kabru regain weight

TW: ED, Body Dysmorphia, Fat-phobia, Gender Dysphoria

It turns out to he a huge body image thing. Like Kabru develops a bit of an ED after he gains his weight back and tries to stay "the perfect weight" and major body dysmorphia. But! It's very sweet because hand feeding, of course, and self-acceptance.

I imagine Kabru's blue eyes get brought up when Laios is like "oh, you don't like that about yourself? :( you're so wonderful! What else could you possibly not like! Surely not those eyes ^^" or something

Plus! I'm 98% sure that Laios gains some weight post cannon, so his wrestler build gets softer, which, yay! We love that here! But this comes with its positives and negatives. (Dont he scared by how big the negative paragraph is)

Positive: Kabru has an example of having a healthy relationship with yourself and your body

Negatives (and hold on) TW btw: at a certain point of Kabru's weight gain/ body acceptance journey, where he gets obsessed with keeping "the perfect body" and does everything in his power not to gain anymore, his own twisted view of himself spills over to Laios. He starts to view Laios as a sort of slob or careless person because he gained weight after the dungeon and gained an extra 5-ish pounds while helping Kabru gain. Because Laios can and will encourage Kabru to eat by eating with him with a smile on his face.

What if someone finds out about Kabru's purging?

Yes, Kabru has purged a few times while he was at his lowest. And no, Laios doesn't catch him in the act. He doesn't know until someone tells him about it. Kabru just keeps it to himself with a tinge of guilt. Someone else finds out. I can't decide who yet, but if it were:

Chilchuck - he'd be familiar with his topic because one of his daughters went through the same thing. He keeps secret as per Kabru's request but gives to Kabru straight. He tells him vomiting hat much rots your teeth and only has negative impacts in the future. With Chil being big and tall for his race's standards and him canonically watching his own weight, he talks Kabru through this whole body image thing. Maybe not in the exact way Kabru wants, but in the way he needs

Senshi - he's SO against this. He tries to father Kabru, but his own lack of understanding for why Labru feels this way gets in the way of progress. He urges Kabru to eat and tells Laios what's goin on in hopes of figuring out what all of this is about, accidentally spilling the beans and leading to conflict between Laios and Kabru

Marcille - she doesn't really get the ED thing, but she gets not liking your body (since she never fit in with her "age group" while growing up and wished she physically presented like them). She also tells Kabru that throwing up rots his teeth and says it's bad for your mana and junk. Shes very offput by this whole thing, but she tries. She doesn't tell Laios...on purpose. (Falin also finds out becuase the guilt Marcille has from telling that secret ears her alive)

Falin - my girl does NOT understand. But she's here to empathize. She ends up being huge in Kabru's healing journey. She tries to check in on bim every now and then and uses her own transformation to promote body acceptance

Izutsumi - she doesn't know what to do. She's 17 goddamn it. So when she hears Kabru throwing up she just assumes he's sick, but when she keeps hearing it she gets a little stressed about him. She goes "he's just weird" and mentions it in conversation to someone else, most likely Marcille (which probably led to Marcille finding out in the earlier paragraph)

Mickbell...somehow - is like "dude wtf" and tells Rin about it since he knows there close. He's worried, yeah, but he doesn't think its really his problem. Especially since the two fo them aren't close like that.

Kuro - he finds out and tells Rin as well, he also tells Kabru that he looks fine. He mentions it to Mickbell, yeah, but in a "Will he be okay? :(" way

Rin - devastated. She initially gives Kabru a hard talk...which makes him worse, but hey! She tried. Rin then thinks its becuase of the shame of dying many times and tries to comfort Kabru again. Doesn't work. She tries to get him to eat the things he likes. He eats them, but she can sense the guilt from Kabru. They then have a heart to heart becuase Rin can't stand to see her best friend suffer like this and assures him that he looks fine as often as he needs

Holm - he takes a simular approach as Falin but gets a little more involved. He understands it on paper, but can't image what actually having these issues is like. Yes, he also informs Rin and is the one that told her to try to speak to Kabru in a less...prickly manner about this touchy subject

Daya - She doesnt realise what Kabru was trying to achieve by puking. So she just advises him not to do so and tells Rin about the strange behavior.

How does this affect non-platonic Labru?

Easy!

Well for starters! If they were boning before, they aren't now LMAO

Partly because of Kabru's own body image being trash and his attraction to Laios (temporarily) going to shit after Laios gained some weight to encourage Kabru. Damn that internalized fat-phobia. Neither one of them seems to have a clue what's going on. Let word, seems.

Kabru knows his view of Laios just isn't the same, but he doesn't let it be known that he's aware of this.

Does he feel bad? Yeah. But he only feels bad because he doesn't feel bad. He feels as though he's a shitty boyfriend for harboring such disgust for his partner's figure

Laios catches Kabru stealing glances at himself in the mirror. Staring just a little too long. Laios deduces that Kabru's feeling a little self-conscious after some hard thought.

So, of course, he makes sure to be extra careful about his words. He'd totally be like that one meme (which I can't find) that goes: "damn girl, that ass is wide" "what??" "I didn't want to say fat and trigger your eating disorders :/"

Plus, on the not boning thing, they're busy. You got a king and his advisor, they're not gonna be cranking it up every night! They simply sleep together, in a literal sense most nights anyways, so more sleep isn't anything bad

Additionally, I don't believe Laios has a high sex drive at all. (I personally think he's on the asexual spectrum, maybe because I'm ace, but still)

Kabru won't initiate a thing at the moment, it's up to Laio's sporadic desires to get things going. (It never gets going)

What if Laios discovers Kabru's feelings towards him and the purging?

He's hurt, simply put. He can't understand why Kabru dislikes his body, Laios can't understand why his own body would be such a turn off now.

In the non-platonic vers Laios tries to become "sexy" again. ....He fails horribly and ends up making a fool out if himself. At first he's like, "well monsters do this to attract mates" right after he feels as though he needs to inprove upon himself. Then he goes "no... Kabru isnt a monster, and im not either (unfortunately)"

He pushes that silly thought aside and tries to find out *why* Kabru is turned off by his looks now. His face? No.. His hair? Just got it cut. His figure? ...but why?

Laios goes right up to Kabru and confronts him about it. Kabru being the slippery bitch that he is denies it and goes "lol wtf haha! I luv u bae and there's nothing wrong with u!! ur so sexy and hot haha..."

This, inevitably, confused the shit out of Laios and he asks for honesty. Kabrus actions aren't exactly aligning with his words, and something needs to he done.

[Okay, let's be real here. If Kabru didn't want Laios to know how he felt, Laios' ass would NOT know lmao. This is just for the bit]

Now the purging? Laios is like "dude what? :(" he doesn't understand it. Nope. Not at all. He tires to he supportive, but he really doesn't know what to do with this. It's not like there's a bulimia monster, so he has no real frame of reference.

He's all "but you look fine how you are :(" and "I like the weight on you!" or even "did you know that [this species of monster] finds fat attractive? ,:D"

He means so so well, and Karbu knows it. Laios really is just a dog of a man.

Laios also tries to get Kabru to promise to stop. We know how that went. Karbu agreeing just to do it behind Laios' back because he knows Laios won't find out. He'll cut back on it, yeah, but he has his weak moments.

Eventually, Laios makes sure to only have Kabru serve his favorite meals. That should keep him from puking it up! And Karbu stops after a while. But only because his health is on the decline.

What else?

Two words: hand. feeding.

Kabru throws up? He gets his favorite meals so he won't. Kabru keeps checking his figure? Less mirrors in the caslte and more compliments. Kabru not eating enough or skipping meals? Simple. Laios makes sure he eats.

And how? A little less of Laios sensually slipping a fork full of decedent chocolate cake past Kabru's lips and a little more than a simple "here comes the airplane"

It starts off as Laios seeing Kabru taking smaller bites and being like "oh! Let me show you how to fill your fork! ^^" and then him taking Kabru's fork, impaling a bunch of assorted foods onto said fork, then handing it back to Kabru.

Then it sort of devolved (...evolved?) Into Kabru begrudgingly letting Laios feed him like a toddler while no one else ot looking. My boy Kabru does NOT know how to say no to this autistic man properly.

Laios was like "would it help if I just fed you?" And karbu replied something like "haha! It just might!" And of course Laios did not pick up on that God level sarcasm and went "cool, Let's try it then" and Kabru, wanting to appease Laios said "cool!". Bro was punching air.

(Yes, Laios said stuff like "good job buddy!" "You're doing so well!" "Its tasty, right?" Almost every bite)

In the non-platonic world, Laios would have Karbu sit ever so close to him as he was fed, maybe even in his lap. And of course Karbu would get a peck on the cheek after every bite. And the whole process may or may not turn Laios on. Especially when they're dining on monster. Whoops.

....anything else?

This all ties in with the absurd standards that was set for Karbu and the insecurities he hides within himself.

The whole blue-eye-spawn-of-a-demon thing was already enough for him. But being raised by that moody ass elf was a whole nother thing.

Milsiril, his adoptive elf mom, raises children like she has a monopoly in daycares. She's a serial foster fr. All them damn kids. Raising them like pets becuase you want something to love and depend on you. (I love Milsiril btw)

Anyways.

Kabru was his mom's favorite since his features were unique. Im talkin big bright blue eyes contrasting with rich dark skin, in particular. Plus, he was so sociable! All of his siblings looked up to him in one way or another. He was the star child.

And, you know that thing about elves being twinks, right? When ever Milsiril would check up on Karbu's health, she would use this old elven chart depicting the "average/desirable/suggested" height, weight, and muscle tone for diffrent short-lived races at diffrent ages/stages of life.

Safe to say these charts and texts were based off of elven standards, so everyone was thought to be slimmer, lighter, and more toned than normal. Plus, they're old lol. Instead of updating her charts and buying some from the diffrent cultures and races, she keeps her old one becuase she legit just forgets to replace it and hasn't had any "major problems" while raising her kids with that information so she doesn't think to change it.

What in trying to say is!

Kabru was raised with unrealistic body goals, and when he used to deviate from those arbitrary statistics during childhood he'd be put on diets and stuff.

Also, What if Kabru was transmasc?

Especially when he was a teen, even gaining a little wait made him go nuts. He couldn't get the words "unhealthy" out of his head and started associating it with the word "fat". His mind likes to play tricks on him when he's in the mirror. Exaggerating his figure and making him panic.

So! When he was sick and tired after that weird ass dungeon trip that changed his whole world and he came back to find himself thin as a pin, he tweaked.

He logically hated it because it was unhealthy, but a part of him was satisfied. With the added stress of becoming a Kings advisor, he started to crack under the pressure, manifesting in an obsession with himself. When he started to gain weight back he was brought right back to those check ups he had with Milsiril and those 2, maybe 3 times he was put onto diets in his youth. He really feared he was getting fat and he would just stare into the mirror and feel his flesh beneath his fingertips, searching for some sort of confirmation. All he felt was a bit of a squish, a bit of a give, and that's all he needed.

It was too much for him. His body was wrecked in his eyes. He's supposed to he fit and lean and thin and perfect. How could that be perfect? He looks in the mirror in his private study, wasting the time he could've been spending planning new city infrastructure or working out the kinks in trade. But no. He's here, in his dimly lit room, looking at how imperfect he's become in his eyes. How unhealthy he is his mom's eyes. How disgusting he is in his birth mothers eyes.

He had to fix it. The wound rubs deep, dar past the dermis. And, I guess, much like other wounds that cut a chasm into the skin, you don't really feel it once it severs your nerves. You don't really notice until you see the big, gaping, bleeding, notch where you used to be.

Lol anyways

Whoo boy. He is in hell. He feels like gaining weight makes him look "softer" and more feminine. He hates it, yes. But he tries his best not to let it effect his wardrobe. This whole weight journey really rehydrated his gender dysphoria.

He's used to looking a little androgynous, but with his new weight going to his stomach, hips, and thighs, he just feels as though his silhouette is becoming more girly.

Kabru is found training and working out more. Anything to get his body more boxy again.

He spends more time making sure he looks presentable. Even waking up a little earlier to ensure he vouge cover ready. (Well, I mean, as vouge ready as perpetual business casual can be)

And how does it end?

It takes some time, but Kabru heals. He's 10 pounds heavier than when we were first introduced to him, but he doesn't mind anymore.

It was a long journey full of all sorts of denail and shame, but he got there.

He's still the Light Yagami coded perfect chivalrous boy. He always has been. And Laios loves him all the same. Platonically or not.

Laios was essential in Karbu learning to let go of those impossible ideal and unreachable standards. Laios does not give a fuck afterall, he thinks all human bodies are unintresting beautiful! That dude does not judge. Rember him talking about the orc women in one of the monster tidbit sections? He's about body acceptance and neutrality.

Kabru grew to love his body, not just tolderate it or like it because someone else does. And if it tickles you, he liked the extra pounds Laios gained in the end, too. And if you're here for non-platonic Labru, then Laios may have became a bit of a feeder and has a tiiiiny food kink. Plus, Laios is a huge fan of the squish and Kabru likes how warm Laios is.

I just want to add this in here, also hecuase ive seen it before and i agree, but Laios seems like the type to give dutch ovens. He shows love like a big brother and its horrible (affectionate). This passes Karbu off SO BAD and it's hilarious. He has to sit down and have a very direct and serious talk about "getting too comfortable". And Laios would sit there the entire time like a sad dog and nod along.

Kabru and Laios also wrestle. No debate. They do it to spar, Laios does it for fun, Kabru does it to make Laios shut up. It's great!

Sorry this took so long lmao,, I legit just kept forgetting to write this

This was just word vomit. I've lost the plot somewhere along the way, I fear

Hello! I was wondering if I could request something. (Your art is beautiful and Ilysm)

So what if there’s an instance in battle where it’s best that four splits? Let’s say…time and twilight are exhausted and terribly hurt so Four splits and each color surrounds them on every side to protect them while they try to heal each other?

Thank you! 💜

HUZZAH!

▪︎▪︎☆▪︎▪︎

Every story he was told had a great hero, strong and king, yet always flawed, and it was those flaws that were their downfall. He thinks that those stories are only told to enforce fear into mortals, a clear message to never challenge a god's lest, you know the consequences.

But he wasn't a regular mortal, was he? It was evident in the way the nymphs looked him, both terrified and awed.

Besides, he wasn't stupid, hushed arguments between his father and father's sister left little to the imagination.

But then, if he wasn't a regular mortal, then what was he?

All these thoughts crammed in his mind made practicing ten times harder, not that he was any good anyways-

Nock. Draw. Loose.

The arrow was too fast for his eyes to comprehend, but he was certain he had that time. His posture was perfect, and his archers point has never been better-

Thwack!

His arrow was embedded in the boss of the target. No where near its intended target.

"Chiron-"

The frustrated scream ripped that through his throat had him sliding off his arm guard and throwing his bow across the grass.

"What's the point!?" Whipping his head towards his father, his eyes drank up the sight of his tied up gold hair and his stupidly perfect bow, all golden and shiny and just perfect.

And he hated it. He hated how perfect Apollo was, how he always managed to read Chiron like an open book.

"Oh, Chiron, everything will be okay. You just need more practice; you've only been at this for three weeks, my dear centaur."

His father was on his knees, something he always did whenever he wanted Chiron to listen. His eyes swarming with pity, and Chiron hated it. He was so angry, and the tears that welled up in his eyes only made him angrier.

"Don't call me that, I'm not a baby anymore."

The soft chuckle from his father partnered with the fond look in his eyes made Chiron's stomach curl, "No I suppose you're not but you are just eleven. You know, most normal eleven year old mortal boys go out and play in the sun, they don't spend hours practicing archery like you do."

"But I'm not a normal mortal boy, am I Lord Apollo!? For Hades' sake I'm not even your son!"

Chiron regretted it the moment the words left his lips but he already did it, he couldn't go back. He can't backpeddle now and he's just so angry.

But Apollo loves you, and you know it. You don't deserve the attention of an Olympian, you're a spoiled little foal that got too used to being pampered and now there's no turning back-

"Chiron?"

His father's voice pulled him out of his thoughts and he carefully opened his eyes. (When did he close them?)

Chiron couldn't stand the worried look etched on his father's face. Apollo prided himself in his youth and with his furrowed brows and the deep frown lines, he looked older than he ever let himself look.

He took a step back, then another, until his father's face was no longer close to his.

"Chiron? I'm not angry I promise you!" A soft sigh and father was no longer kneeling, "I'm sorry I never told you but, but I was scared- I was worried." Apollo's careful steps forward led to Chiron's careful steps backward and it was like they were dancing, maybe they always were, they've been dancing around this subject for a decade.

"I found you Chiron. You were just a few weeks old and I couldn't stand to leave you in the mercy of Echidna's children that lurk in the night." This, Chiron knew and father knows that so why is he repeating it?

Another sigh escaped his father, this one unsteady and tired, "You're Kronos's son, Chiron."

It felt like Lord Poseidon himself sent wave after wave to drown him. His knees buckled, but his father was there in an instant to cradle him on the grassy plain.

"I know this is hard Chiron but I promise you this has never, not ever changed the way I love you." Warm hand cupped his face and the blurry figure that was his father met his eyes. "You are my son. No one will ever change that."

Chiron wanted to believe him. He really, really did but the anger in his stomach raged on and his father's comforting words did nothing but smother them in guilt.

"No." With gentle hands, he pushed his father away, but the god wouldn't budge. "No!" Using his front legs, he kicked at Apollo's chest (ignoring the pained wheeze that came from his father), and with (much) effort, he brought himself to his feet.

"No! You lied to me. You were," Chiron licked his lips, the realization left his mouth dry. "You were scared of me! Did you just, did you just assume that I'd hurt you or Lady Artemis or- or Lady Persephone?! Just because of who my father is?!" Hot tears ran down his face, and he couldn't be bothered to wipe them. His pain brought Apollo pain, and that's all Chiron wanted.

"I hate you! I hate you! IhateyouIhateyouIhateyou-" choking in own tears and mucus, he turned around and ran. He ran straight into the dense forests surrounding their little clearing.

"Chiron! Chiron!" His father's voice was nothing but a whisper now.

Starter for @concedoxnulli

It wasn't often that the Peaceful Tyranny had to stop for resupply. They always made sure stocks were full for at lease a quarter of a century before they'd have to find a mech-friendly planet.

This was one of those rare instances. The DJD treated it like a small vacation, spending a few days docked planet-side. It gave them all the opportunity to do as they pleased, pick up any personal things they needed. This was the last day they'd be here, off to travel deep space again to find their quarry.

Tarn sent a quick ping to his team that he would be returning to the ship for the evening, but wouldn't be leaving until morning, and that they were welcome to enjoy the nightlife of the planet until sunrise.

He returned to their flagship, entering through the ramp. He went to the bridge, ensuring fuel levels were adaquate enough to last while they traveled. Once he was satisfied, he retired to his office. The sound system in his office turned on at his will. Soft music filled the air, an old Tarnian hymn. He sat at his desk, picking up a datapad, starting his report to Megatron. This was his own form of relaxation, keeping reports and enjoying music.

“Forget-me-not” 💐 Osferth

Pairing: Osferth x Reader.

Description: Upon his return, before the sun had broken across the sky. When the birds had already risen but, while the village people still slept. Deep in the meadow, down by the marsh, amongst the reeds is where one could find the battle-worn monk, Osferth, wading through murky waters, where the wildflowers grew rampant, gathering only the small, five-petalled flowers.

“Forget me not as you march into battle,” she would push the five-petalled flowers into his hand as a reminder of her, for war would take her Osferth from her for months at a time. “Come back to me.”

With dampened feet, a bruised body and hollow heart, Osferth would return to her with the five-petalled flowers in hand, only he could not give them to her as she did, him but, instead would lay them on a bed of newly grown grass.

“I have come back,” Osferth would whisper to the cold earth, to the post carved with her name. “I have not forgotten you, my love.”

-

Apart of: Send me a title and I'll come up with a description to match it.

sorry to hear about your horny jail time dude! i hope you get busted out soon 😫 but in the meantime! i recently realized that a great gatsby au (since the great gatsby movie from 2014 is one of my fav guilty pleasures) where morpheus as gatsby and maybe reader as daisy would slap so hard?? morpheus would absolutely be the type to throw huge stupid lavish parties waiting for just ONE person to show up 😭 plus the 1920s new money aesthetic is something i would DIE to see on him tbh

You are speaking straight to my soul

Dream who spotted you in the Dreaming, and fell in love you in an instant. So, he started having all these lavish parties to get your attention

In an extravagant castle, music thrummed off in the distance. People cheered and sang in tune. Curious, you allowed yourself to be pulled in by the chaos. You swerved through corridors, listening as the music grew and grew.

It all lead to a double door. Your heart pumped feverishly along with the heavy beat of the music. You slowly pushed it opened to reveal a wild party. The doors opened atop of a grand staircase leading down to a sea of people singing, dancing, and laughing. Drinks flowed. Outfits twirled. People lived wholeheartedly in this moment, and completely let loose.

It was insane, magical, and absolutely captivating.

However, your eyes quickly locked to a lone man in the center of the chaos. His black hair slicked back, wearing a pristine black suit. A single ruby earring dangled from his ear catching in the sparkling light of a massive chandler above. His eyes instantly connected with yours. A smile ghosted over his lips.

Bashful, you tore your eyes away wanting to see everything. Such chaos, but you enjoyed it immensely. So many happy faces. When you glanced back, hoping to see the mysterious man, he was gone. You frowned slightly. Who was he?

“Welcome, my dear.”

Your heart lurched at the smooth rumble of a voice. You whipped your head to find the strange man directly next to you. You gasped. He was even more beautiful closer.

“Hi,” you breathed out. You were sucked into his dazzling blue eyes. They were oceans ready to swallow you up. You glanced away back to the crowd below. “What is all of this?”

“A party,” he hummed.

“I can see that,” you jokingly said.

“In your honor.”

You looked back at him wide eyed. “My honor? Why?”

He tilted his head as a smile graced over his lips. “Why not?”

You gawked at him, feeling your cheeks flush.

His eyes scanned over you. “A wondrous party for a wondrous person.”

“Oh.”

It was all you could say. It was all for you? It was unreal.

He extended out a hand, “Would you care to join me?”

Your eyes fell to his waiting palm, then back over to the sea of people. You locked eyes with him. He was silently pleading for you to accept, so why would you deny him? Especially if it was all for you.

Your hand slid into his. “Of course.”

INTRODUCING THE CREW!

Smajor: An accomplished doctor from high society, he is primarily a skilled surgeon, but is trained in a variety of medical fields. Often described as a bit cold by his patients, he is nonetheless a long time and valued member of the saints expedition teams.

Mythical: Sn expert in geography and wildlife with a lifetime of globetrotting experience. The older and estranged cousin of the twins, he met them after starting the Saints Expeditions and shortly invited them on. He and Pearl used to adventure together on occasion, exploring lost secrets and ancient ruins. He has a preternatural sense of danger and occasionally seems to know things he oughtn’t. Though he’s never asked Pearl what happened on her last expedition or why she retired, she thinks he may have an idea anyways.

Pearl: The wealthy patron of a dubiously legal band of explorers known as the Saints Expedition teams. She is an ex adventurer and a champion fencer and fighter. Though she herself cannot go, for mysterious and definitely-not-at-all-magical reasons, she often sends her teams on adventures around the globe searching for strange tales and stranger artifacts.

Pixlriffs: An archeologist and historian with a fascination in magics. He met Joel during their undergrad and they became friends through long study nights and early coffee cram sessions. When Joel found the Phantom Journal, he became fascinated to the point of obsession and has been trying to get funding for an expedition to find Aquatis since.

Joel: An expert in ancient architecture and longsuffering friend of pixlriffs’ “magic” theories. During his studies of ancient architecture, he found an old tome by some pretentious idiot called ‘Phantom’ with several architectural designs that didnt match with any known peoples or locations. Showing Pixlriffs did mean he had a partner to learn the language with so he could study the book more, but it did unfortunately mean he was subjected to literal years of his friend’s obsession with magics. Of course that doesnt mean he doesnt also want to find these lost buildings, no matter what the university’s stuffed shirts and coin counters say.

Katherine Elizabeth: A chef and semi retired bounty hunter. She joined the Aquatis expedition for an adventure. Katherine knows just about every flower there is to know and their uses. She carries a frankly alarming amount of seeds on her person along with a few of the ‘heads’ of her favorite bounties (they’re just masks). Though she has hundreds of bounties to her name, she now prefers peaceful resolutions in her ‘retirement’

Shelby: A communications expert with a mysterious tragic past. Since joining the Saints Expeditions, she’s created her own system of communication devices she calls ‘hounds’ which can be used to find and send encrypted limited communique to anyone in possession of one. She keeps trying to get Katherine to add mushrooms to the menu, but has yet to succeed.

Joey: An assassin and treasure hunter with an old legacy. Unbeknownst to the rst of the Saints Expeditions, his family once were priests at the elemental temples before the fall of Aquatis and the gradual decline of magic. They have spent several generations accumulating wealth and power- political and magical- in order to revive the temples. He has an uncanny knack with lizards and may or may not have a pet caiman depending who you ask.

Xornoth: An ex military combat specialist and tactician with a menacing grin. The secret child of a rich man’s affair, Xornoth was raised by their mother alone and joined the military as soon as they were able. After being discharged, they took up private contracting under various clients before being hired by Saints Expeditions.

the devil i don’t || Kinx

2:02 AM, flashed bold and bright at her from her phone. She was transfixed, staring at it, watching it tick upwards, chewing at her nails until they no longer existed. The only thing that finally snapped her out of it was Percy jumping from his cat tree, and landing with a soft thud. Her heart practically jumped out of her chest at the sudden intrusion. She stares at her cat for a long moment, wondering if he can read her guilty conscience too.

Finally, the silence in her room is too much to bare. Putting on her slippers, she slides out of her room, heading down to the kitchen to make a pot of tea to calm her nerves. Instead she’s met with the sound of footsteps. For some reason, she freezes as if she’s doing something wrong, almost transported to when she was just a thirteen year old. She shakes the thoughts away, forcing herself to move, to react normally. The house was filled with extra guests tonight, it could be any number of them… and they probably wouldn’t even notice her.

hey, i would absolutely LOVE some headcanons or a small fic about thirteen from house md. specifically, her being taken care of by cuddy - i'm a first time watcher and the scene where cuddy catches her giving herself the iv and reprimands her just Shifted something very specific in my brainal chemistry so now i'm like. autistically screeching 24/7 about these women that have had maybe three scenes where they were in the same room? anyway cuddy should totally become thirteen's mommy send tweet

(but also if ur not on that cuddy/thirteen vibe, just a thirteen moodboard/headcanons would be greatly appreciated 💜)

Cg! Cuddy + little thirteen headcannons

Right off the bat, thirteen regresses 8 - 15

Cuddy was very unsure of herself when she first started taking care of little! Thirteen

They go on little trips down to the park together

Neither of can really cook but they love to bake together

Thirteen struggles to regress at her own house

Cuddy has a dedicated regression room

(^ it's for any of the regressed ducklings but don't tell anyone shhh).

Thirteen sometimes goes non-verbal when she's on the smaller end of her regression

^ cuddy taught her baby sign language

As time goes on, cuddy gets better and better at reading little! Thirteen and they slot together like 2 peices of a puzzle they didn't know they were doing

Cg! Cuddy + little thirteen moodboard
