(Fanfic under cut)

It was 4 am when Four appeared out of the grate. Octavio hadn’t been asleep anyway, his snow globe was unsurprisingly, very uncomfortable. Without a word, Four hurled their phone at the snow globe, shattering the glass. On the screen of the now broken phone, a text read,

Hey, Marie. It’s nice to see you’ve been enjoying yourself in Splatsville. I’ve decided to take Octavio up on his offer. So, if you do decide to ever look at my messages, don’t come looking for me, ok? I’m sorry for everything.

“Just… make it so that thinking about her doesn’t hurt so much…”

****

Four sat themself in the chair as instructed. They were now far below ground, past even Cephalon HQ. This was where the best of the best in the octarian army worked, the ones in charge of the machines and level creation. An octoling sat at a computer, inputting strings of code. Next to them was a pair of glasses, connected to the computer through a wire.

“They’re almost ready. Since you’re so willing, I’ll give you a little tip. The harder you struggle, the more this is gonna hurt,” Octavio said, staring at Four. Despite the harshness of his words, his tone was kind. Four had never heard him talk to anyone in the New Squidbeak Splatoon that way before. But of course, Four wasn’t a part of the Splatoon anymore.

They just nodded, a knot forming in their stomach. The octoling at the computer quickly finished typing, unplugged the glasses, and handed them to Octavio.

“Alright. You ready kid?” He held the hypnoshades out to Four, waiting for them to take them.

“Yeah…” They said with a shaky voice. They took a deep breath and grabbed the glasses. Four didn’t hesitate, sliding the hypnoshades onto their face before they could change their mind. The moment they did, their eyes were assaulted with an array of flashing lights. Four’s head ached as if it were going to explode. A small scream escaped their throat.

“Don’t fight it,” they thought to themself. “Just give in and the pain will disappear.” The moment that thought passed through their mind, the agony was gone. They were strangely calm. Their breathing steadied and the tension melted from their muscles. As they continued to stare at the light patterns on the screen in front of their eyes, Four could feel their brain falling into a fog, like suddenly everything they’d been worrying about was nothing more than a dream from a long, long time ago. They felt better already.

“How do you feel, Agent 4?” Octavio asked.

A small smile cracked along their lips and they hissed, “Wonderful.”

“And your opinion of the New Squidbeak Splatoon?”

“Useless fucks, every one of ‘em. I wish I’d left sooner. They hate me.” Four’s voice broke slightly with that last sentence. Octavio could tell it wasn’t the hypnoshades that made them believe that. But he decided to ignore it for now. After all, it worked out in his favor.

“Gyahahaha, good to hear, kid. Let’s go see how my kingdom’s been doin’ since I was gone.” With that, he yanked the former Agent 4 to their feet, counteracting their harsh statement with jovial laughter.

The octoling that had been in charge of the computer interjected, “Permission to speak freely, Sir?”

“Permission granted,” Octavio said, glancing over at the octoling in curiosity.

“We have not been doing well since your disappearance. Octarians keep going missing and we can’t figure out why. Yes, some of them left for the surface, but many who went missing were still loyal. It’s only me and two other octolings left now. Oh and an octotrooper.” Their words came out rushed and panicked. The Octarian Army had been doing way worse without their leader than Octavio had anticipated.

“So many… who’s still here?” He had a sense of urgency and worry in his voice.

“It’s me, Phal, Nell, and Spore.” The octoling counted on their fingers as they listed off the few octarians who remained.

“I’m glad you four are okay. You’re certain there isn’t anyone else?”

“We haven’t searched everywhere for fear of being separated, but we sent out multiple distress signals that have gone unanswered.”

“I see. This isn’t good.” Octavio paused for a moment to think before his face took on a look of anger. “I bet that dumb ass Cuttlefish took ‘em! Tryna get more octolings to come to the surface or somethin’.”

“Uh, Sir, if I may, I really don’t think—” The octoling began.

“Let’s go kick his ass!” Octavio shouted, interrupting them. Four cheered in the background.

****

“C’mon, I don’t bite.”

“Yes you do! I have a scar on my hand from last time!” The distant voices of two octolings arguing rose from the makeshift campsite. There was a girl holding a set of octoglasses out of reach of a short boy, who was cowering behind a small octotrooper. They were speaking in octarian, which Four had only barely studied before, but could now somehow entirely understand. The octoling who had escorted them and Octavio to the campsite loudly cleared their throat to get the attention of the others.

“Oh fuck!” The girl shouted in surprise upon seeing DJ Octavio, who had been missing for almost five years now, as the boy immediately dropped to one knee and bowed his head. She quickly did the same, clapping her hand over her mouth, embarrassed. The octotrooper, not having knees, couldn’t exactly bow, but still attempted to dip its head. None of them were wearing their full uniforms. The girl had a baggy T-shirt over hers and her octoglasses sat on top of her head. The boy was wearing sneakers instead of his regulation boots, and the girl was still holding onto his glasses. The octotrooper was the only one who didn’t break some sort of rule upon sight.

“At ease,” Octavio sighed. “No need to worry about formalities anymore, seeing as there’s only you four left. I’m just happy you’re all okay.”

“Thank you, sir. We’re happy to see that you’re alright too.” The girl stood up, taking note of Four standing next to Octavio. What was an inkling doing here? She’d heard about how Callie had been hypnotized into joining them, but she’d never seen it in person. How could she be sure that this inkling was trustworthy?

“Don’t think I don’t see you eyeballing my new lieutenant, Nell.” Octavio shot her a look. Shit, he had seen her suspicion immediately. “It’s alright, I can’t blame you for being cautious. Everyone I’d like to introduce you to… well you’re not really Agent 4 anymore are ya, kid? Hell, I never learned your real name.”

“My name’s Itys. It’s nice to meet you all!” Four— or more accurately Itys— chimed in. They did not like meeting new people, typically in this situation they would barely be able to get a sentence out because their anxiety would be through the roof. But now they weren’t stressed at all.

“Itys it is then!” Octavio gave them a hard pat on the back. “The boy octoling here is Phal, the girl is Nell, the little octotrooper is Spore, and the octoling that helped you out earlier is Atra.” Octavio introduced the group of surviving octarians to Itys. He made a point to learn the names of every octarian enlisted in his army; he never wanted them to become just numbers to him. “C’mon, I wanna take you all to my quarters, you deserve to sleep under a roof.”

“Sir, are you sure?” Phal spoke for the first time since Octavio and Itys arrived, now snatching his glasses back from Nell.

“Sure I’m sure! And didn’t I say no more formalities? You’ve all been through so much already and I haven’t been here to help. Let me do this for you.”

****

Itys was tired, the long trek to Octavio’s “sleeping quarters” as he called them had taken almost the entire day. Having stayed up the entire night prior, they hadn’t slept in over twenty four hours. Though “sleeping quarters” wasn’t the best word for what Itys was looking at. Octavio slept in a massive palace that had been built centuries ago. It was adorned with golden decorations and intricate murals, the main gates reaching higher than double Itys' height. According to tradition, only those in the octarian royal family were allowed to enter, but Octavio was willing to break the rules for the remaining four octarians. And Itys of course, but it was much more more of a big deal that they were allowed in. Being an inkling, octarian tradition stated that they were an enemy and should be detained.

“You really don’t have to do this, I understand how steadfast octarian traditions are,” Itys said, hesitant to follow the group through the entryway.

“Don’t worry about it, kid. I’m the one who made most of the traditions, I get to choose when we break them. So why not shatter it to pieces?” Octavio held the door open. Itys took a deep breath and stepped in. The four octarians had all rushed to choose a room, leaving only them and Octavio. “There is one thing that I wanted to ask of you,” he began.

“What do you need?” Itys asked, turning to look at him.

“These four are… well let’s just say I’m surprised they’re the ones who are still here. Nell has a hard time understanding empathy and will often be unnecessarily harsh because of it, but she’s an amazing leader. She cares about those around her, she just doesn’t know how to show it. Phal is scared of his own shadow. He’s crazy strong, he’s just so afraid all the time. Atra’s super smart and can do any technical work you’d ever need, but they’re absolute shit when it comes to actually fighting. Typically this wouldn’t be a problem and they would just be assigned a task that doesn’t require combat, but seeing how few our numbers are, we’re going to need all the power we can get. And Spore just never grew to its full size. It can’t use any weaponry because of it. It’s an absolute sweetheart and will love you to pieces, but it’s virtually useless when it comes to combat. Point is, these guys have potential, all of them, but they aren’t there yet. I need you to help them so that they can grow into the best people they can be. Think you can do that?”

“Absolutely.”

“Hey, Itys!” Phal called from across a massive hallway, running over to where Itys and Octavio stood. “The rest of us are going to share a room. Do you want to join?”

“Aren’t there dozens of rooms here? Are you sure you don’t want me to sleep somewhere else?” Itys offered, not wanting to intrude on what seemed to be an already close-knit group.

“If you don’t want to, that's okay, but we all agreed we wanted to get to know you better. And none of us really enjoy being alone, except Atra, so I thought maybe you wouldn’t want to be left on your own either.”

“Go ahead, kid,” Octavio said, yet again patting Itys on the back. They beamed before rushing over to join Phal. Atra and Nell had dragged extra beds into the massive room so that all five of them could sleep comfortably.

“Oh my cod this is the softest thing ever!” Nell said, flopping down on one of the beds. “I don’t know if I’ve ever touched anything this comfortable.”

Itys walked over and claimed their own bed, Nell wasn’t lying when she said it was soft. They flopped down on their bed too, letting the plush of the sheets wrap around them. “I haven’t slept in literal days. I wanna lie here forever,” they said, their words muffled by the bed.

“Yeah, I think we all need a good night’s sleep,” Atra had now flopped onto their own bed as well. Spore had already gotten comfortable in its mass of blankets and pillows, and Phal soon followed suit. He took his octoglasses off and placed them on a table next to his bed. Itys had entirely forgotten that they were even wearing the hypnoshades, and it never crossed their mind that it might get in the way of them trying to sleep. Rather, they fell asleep with them on, and kept them there the entire night.

The screens over the dome showed a moon slowly rising in the sky as the newly formed platoon drifted into slumber.

Catching up with Thou Giveth Fever and aughh, dear author you're killing me over here (affectionate)

All this tooth rotting fluff and pinning making me role on the floor- OH WHAT'S THIS?

ANGST COMING IN WITH A STEEL CHAIR-

IM DEAD!! IM DYING !!! And this is only the beginning of the angst!!!!! this series carved out my heart and placed it in a blender and the next chapter you post is gonna blend it in the highest setting istg aaaaaa <3 <3 <3

idk if its too late but i read the author's note for one of the chap's asking what scene we liked and thought "oh theyre realllyyyyyy in love" and honestly the scene where Sniper and Medic were baking a pie in the lab/operating room(?)

It was So. Augh. I can't put it into words akdhqkdbn. How they shared stories about baking pies. How Sniper was flustered but also accepting Medic's flirts. The whole story of Sniper and his repression being equated with his experience as a kid and his dad calling him greedy for wanting pie???? Medic wanting to kiss is SO BADLY but restraining himself bc he doesn't want to make Sniper uncomfortable. But then Medic inciting the chase with the flour??? And Sniper feeling genuinely comfortable and letting himself have this fun??? AUGHHH TABLE SLAMMING this scene made me smile like a goofy, hyperactive child in a candy-store

Just??? The way you make these scenes so natural are Too Good <3 I'm seriously looking forward to the consequences of the failed uber (Medic may have pushed a littleeee too much this time uh oooh and Sniper is sooo gonna beat himself up over being this unprofessional on the battlefield)

I hope your day is going well wherever you are! Thank you for posting this series, its *chef's kiss* I eagerly look forward for what you have in store to torture our hearts as well as Sniper and Medic's <3

OH MY GOD HI HELLO I AM SO SORRY FOR THIS INCREDIBLY DELAYED RESPONSE!!! ;__; PLEASE FORGIVE ME.... but EEEEE i am SO happy you've been enjoying my series my friend, i hope you've liked how tachycardia ended!! ^w^ i am so eager to begin posting the next one.. don't worry, they are going to be in Torture Town for some time yet! HEHHE >:)

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH ;;; it really means a lot to me when people let me know that they like how i write the mercs; i want them to feel Believable and Human and i think with characters that have such a like. "legacy" like the mercs, it's something that makes me really nervous to do!! but i've been having the time of my life prying them out of their Fanon Cages and carving out my own interpretations of them... :') and i'm so overjoyed that readers like you enjoy! ^_^ <33333

i'm actually overjoyed that malus seems to be the most warmly-received of my fics in the series, it makes me really happy that people sympathized and resonated with their baking scene... <3 it was definitely one that i was nervous about sharing!! ;_; we've seen a lot of what's going on in sniper's head, but medic's has been kept Intentionally Ambiguous... until this friday! >:) HUHUHUHU....

thank you again SO very much my friend, your feedback means the ABSOLUTE WORLD to me and i am SO SORRY i haven't replied sooner!!! ;-; i hope you continue to read my stories, you are welcome in my inbox anytime and always!! ^u^ <33333 ILYYYYY

AAAAAA HII :D :D :D

THIS IS THE BEST BLINDING GIFT OH MY GOSH!!!

I WAS ACTUALLY SO YIPEE SEEING THIS!!! :DDD

I WONDER WHY???? UGH THATS BLINDING TERRIBLE /POS!!

Collette? Leonce?? Lucien?? are these OCs???? please please please tell me about them :D :D :D

UGH HOW COULD YOU!!! HE'S A SHEEP NOT A SHEPARD

(i'm rocking back and forth)

like ugh.. thats so.. fuck.. ofc he only takes of them cause odile told him too T-T and like ofc he gets other ppl he trusts to do it because that's easier than doing it himself (but he probably feels terrible about it and i imagine him apologizing all the time about how dirty or messed up they are)

ugh sorry im still thinking about siffrin being a sheep, im actually so normal about this, stars...

IM GONNA BE SICK!!!! cause that's their last connection to home and the last thing they wanna do is sever that!! even if it's causing them so much pain and upset it's the last thing they have that connects them to home (this is how loop views sif too) (what who said that)

FLUF! gets shaken around yaaaay yayayaya :D :D happy!! sif getting their other wish!! yaaay!! also yesyesyes loop would sooner loop again than willingly ask for help, esp not for something about home yesyesyes, they so would just steal all of sif's wardrobe "~well we're the same size stardust~"

16.... that's so young... :D :D :D yesyesyes siffrin adoption im so here for this!! ya universe only knows they need a guardian sometimes.. someone to actually help them and be responsible... esp when they can't bring themselves to do basic stuff.. HE'S SO REAL FOR THAT!! i too would stick like glue to my parents' hips!

i'll blinding cry T-T siffrin actually having a last name T-T so he actually does have a family... he does have someone to go home to

T-T

SIFFRIN AVELINE!!! AAA I LOVE IT!!! it's so fricking cute!!! it suits him.. (also i wonder if leonce helped him pick out siffrin)

yes!! please!! also siffrin (once he remembered lol) would guard that secret to his grave!! he would not let ANYONE know that he has a last name!! he would try so hard keep that under wraps (for like a week lets be honest), it would probably either be leonce legal-naming him like that or siffrin like remembers post loops and goes OH!!! and then eventually caves after refusing to tell them (because we don't keep secrets anymore), but then will not come out from his cloak

(also imagine isa being silly and mira or odile walks in on him muttering isabeau aveline trying out how it sounds, or he writes like mr and mr(?) aveline in his journal that bonnie finds)

UGH NO!! i mean ofc... ofc he'd forget... he forgot so much... but stars.... thats so... T-T

YAYAYAY ofc odile knows!! ya and isa is just too close to sif not to notice the way he looks at her...

also i love the idea of mira, like months after sif remembers and both odile and isa realize, is just sitting at camp and gets up like

IS LEONCE YOUR MOM SIFFRIN?????

and sif's just like lol ya :3

hehehehehe i love them so much

thank you v v v much for this ramble :D:D:D it actually made me yippee i loved reading through it and learning more about this!! i desperately need to find the time to read these fics, like i need to so bad!!

also also also please please tell me about these OCs!!! i wanna hear it all!!! okay okay also how do you pronounce aveline (like is it a-va-lan or?)?? also also you said that the king has wings too (cause islander) are they also big?? and they're the same shade as sif's??? are they?? related?? or is it just cause island?? and sif doesn't know??? (also does euphrasie have wings? i know some ppl think she's an islander, which i do really like, don't think cannon but like it near)

also! if you know! what is siffrin's wing routine! like how does he take care of his wings! (or get other ppl to take care of them lol) does he brush them out? like w/ a really soft brush? does he like groom his feathers? like picking out all the gung and stuff? does he have to molt? :OOO does he?? could the party get some of his feathers??!?!?! would he let them??? also does loop have wings? or did they get zapped in the star transformation? are they star wings made out of zappies?

anyways thank you so much for this gift!!! this is so freaking cool!!! i do not have a gift for you right now!! but i will think on it!! cause a gift as wonderful as this must be reciprocated!!!

HELLO HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE @moons-among-distant-stars I COMR WITH A PRESENT.

OTC/DEISY RAMBLING!

im not warning for spoilers because im too tired to do that LMAOO but im putting most of this under the read more

So i saw one of ur reblogs to my reblog of ur reblog (a lot of reblog there) and i was like. Im gonna ramble again!! Mostly ab Sif’s wings!! So ya!!

No, Siffrin does not like his wings. They view them as a burden, as he can’t use them to fly, glide, or anything, and for other reasons. One of those being the fact that it’s a connection to the King, as he has wings too. But, it’s also not just with the fact that they’re just there, no, it’s also appearance wise. Their wings have shades suspiciously close to the shades the King’s wings once were before he was frozen in time. I WONDER WHY!! bats my eyes at you aggressively

Siffrin has trust problems when it comes to his wings, too. He’s so ashamed of them that he doesn’t let anyone outside his family see them, and even then that’s iffy on some days. Only a select few can even touch their wings without asking, those people being Isabeau, Loop, Colette, Léonce and Lucien.

Due to this hatred for his wings, Siffrin hardly takes care of them on some days. The only reason he does on most days is because Odile told him to, and Siffrin’s a sheep most of the time, not a shepherd (ouch, sorry Siffrin… LMAO). And when they don’t want to, then Léonce and/or Loop help him with it.

Sure, Isabeau thinks Siffrin’s wings are very cute, and yeah, it helps a little, but it doesn’t fix Siffrin’s insecurity and loathing of them. Siffrin’s self-hatred runs very deep, but, if you want a good side, it doesn’t run so deep that Siffrin would consider getting rid of them. That’d be severing one of the last links he has to his home, and that’s the last thing they want to do.

A. TIME FOR FLUFF!! Grabs you by the shoulders. Since Siffrin has wings, that means that normal clothing… really wouldn’t work for him. Before the events of IBaS,iTaT!ISAT, Siffrin stuck with cutting wing holes into his shirts, but after the loops, Isabeau began helping Siffrin with that, so now, most of Siffrin’s shirts and such are made by Isabeau. Isabeau has offered to do the same for Loop but Loop very quickly denied it and said they’re fine and they don’t need anything when they can steal from Siffrin. Which… is true. They do that sometimes LMAO.

Im giving you more fluff to balance out the angst. I did some thinking a few days ago and decided THIS!!!: Siffrin washed up in Vaugarde at 16 and Léonce found him (already canon) - they very very likely legally adopted him (translation: she did) since he was a child at the time and yk that child needed a guardian, (and fuck, sometimes he still does have you SEEN the stuff he gets into sometimes?) and well, they stuck to her like glue. Léonce’s last name is Aveline, and by proxy, that became Siffrin’s last name. So, technically, Siffrin does have a last name, which is Aveline. I really need to write a scene where Léonce full-names Siffrin in a tone of an annoyed mom 💀 (“SIFFRIN AVELINE.” LMAOO)

Due to the loops, Siffrin totally forgot about this until he went to Kaia with the party. Then he remembered. He has yet to even bring it up with the rest of the group but Odile has pieced things together based on observations of how Léonce treats Siffrin god awfully like a child of her own… so has Isabeau… but the others remain unknowing LOL

OKAY END OF YAP. IF U HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SURROUNDING THIS AU PLS PLS PLS ASK ME I WANT TO YAP MORE.

just imagine that you're in something with Erling and he sees a story/post about you with a man from your group friend and him being like " what's this ????" and feeling insecure, and then telling him "I don't care about him, I only care about you"

aaaaaa sorry for the rambling, hope you're having a good day <3

the status | e.h

ೃ⁀➷ erling's taglist

ೃ⁀➷ erling's masterlist

ೃ⁀➷ masterlist

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

You knew Erling too well. You noticed every little demeanor about his behavior that gave away certain emotions, especially when he didn’t liked something, and because of this, you noticed that something was really bothering him right now.

You eyed him again across the kitchen, still cutting some vegetables while trying to figure out what could be the possible reason for his annoyance. He looked amazing, even fresh out of the shower. Something about the slick back hair and the simple clothes he used around the house were so attractive to you that it was inevitable to eye him from time to time. That’s how you noticed he wasn’t annoyed five minutes ago. Something happened.

“Everything okay, babe?” You asked after a while, noticing how his shoulders went a little stiff, his brows furrowed while looking up from his phone.

You both exchanged looks before he shrugged, locking it.

“Uh, yeah, yeah… I’m perfect.” His tone was so serious, going perfectly along with his poker face, that you had to physically stop yourself from laughing right there.

Instead, you just arched an eyebrow in his direction, continuing your tasks of chopping vegetables and stirring the pot, hearing from time to time a huff or a sigh coming from Erling, making you smile a bit. Sooner than later…

“Can I ask something?” He said then, still flat-toned. You pursed your lips, trying very hard to stay serious when you looked up from the pot.

“Sure, what’s up?” His eyes followed your movements as you dried your hands and made your way around the counter to his spot. With you standing and him sitting on a stool, you barely made it to his shoulder. He was looking down at you with an illegible expression. “What is it?” You caressed his cheek, wanting to know why he seemed so upset.

Your touch had some effect because his gaze and posture relaxed. You made your way between his legs, hugging his waist as tightly as possible, looking up at him with a half-smile; you wanted to reassure him that you were there to listen.

“I just..” He began, sighing. “I dunno, I saw something that made me a little bit… Look, I don’t want to sound like a jealous prick or something, but…” He ran his hands through his hair, looking frustrated. “Are you, like… Seeing other people?”

The question shocked you a bit, but you couldn’t get really offended by it. You two weren’t exactly a couple, but your relationship wasn’t just a friendship. It was something in between that stressed you from time to time. You kept staring at him, trying to figure out where did that question came from.

“No?” You didn’t want to sound like you were confused, but… You were. “Why do you ask?”

“Well, uhm… I know we haven’t said anything about exclusivity ever, but I was wondering if…” He paused at the last second, biting his lip before shaking his head. “You know what? Let’s just forget that I said anything, ok? It’s dumb.”

“No! It’s not dumb. C’mon! What is it, Erling?” You shook him a bit, eager for whatever answer he was going to give you.

Why was he talking about exclusivity all of the sudden?

“Okay, okay! Here.” He took his phone again, typing for a few seconds before showing you the screen.

You squinted at first, unable to see clearly what was on it given how close it was to your face. After a minute, you saw a post on Instagram. The photo seemed familiar, and your brain took a while to recognize various of your friends' faces. Then it hit you: it was Brad’s post from his birthday earlier in the year. You didn’t saw anything particularly strange until you considered Erling’s point of view. You were almost sitting on Brad’s lap, making a kissing face toward his face.

“Oh…” A light blush started to cover your cheeks. Your eyes made it back to Erling’s face, who was looking back at you with puppy eyes. “That.”

“Yeah?” He seemed anxious for an answer, biting his lip again. “Then? Are you going out with him?”

“My god! No, no. I’ll never date Brad, gross!” You said immediately, wrinkling your nose at the mere thought of Brad being romantically close to you. “He’s just a friend. It was his birthday… Wait, how did you find that photo? It was at the beginning of the year!”

“Uh… I dunno, I was checking your tags?” He looked guilty, which made you laugh a bit. “I’m sorry, I just got a bit curious…”

“Don’t be sorry.” You hugged him again, kissing his neck in the process. “And, no. No dating Brad nor anyone else for that matter.”

“Well, are you sure he doesn’t want to? Seems like both of you are pretty close…” He frowned again, covering his eyes with one hand after saying it. “God, sorry. I just can’t stand the idea of someone else… I’m sorry.”

“Babe! Stop saying sorry!” You took his hand, kissing it as well, just to have more physical contact with him, trying to reassure him in any way possible. “Let’s not talk about him, okay? I only care about you. I’m not dating anyone else, and I don’t want to.”

“Really?” His tone sounded hopeful, which broke your heart a bit. “Are we… dating-dating?”

You smiled, noticing how dumb it sounded to just ask something that at all times was obvious. You gave him a little peck before answering.

“What are we doing here if not dating, love?” You giggled when his face just gave away confusion, excitement, and shyness that weren’t typical of him. “Do you want me to officially ask you to be my boyfriend?” You teased him, enjoying how he blushed and looked away from you.

“Oh, shut it.” You both laughed before he held you closer, kissing you multiple times. “I think dinner is about to burn, baby.”

“What?!” You panicked, looking back at the stove, where your pot was safe but seemingly in danger of spilling all over the counter. “Fuck! Let me get that.”

He let you go, laughing when you gave him a serious look, thanking every God that you still had a dinner to serve.

“Ah, what a girlfriend I have, huh?”

“Oh, now you shut it, Haaland!”

But you couldn’t be more grateful for his laugh and your newfound relationship status.

DotS Update: March Edition!

Apologies for the lack of post activity lately! Came down sick with real bad allergies this past week (hay fever? Maybe a head cold? Not sure, can't afford to see a doctor), which followed a migraine that reeaaaally overstayed its welcome. Good news: no more light sensitivity, yay! Bad news: My head is more stuffed than a jalapeño popper, and just as deep-fried

I've had a post on DotS' Dark Meta Knight in drafts for a long while, so I've decided to post it for you all! Give you guys a little tasty something to chew on while I work on some more stuff! Not sure why I hadn't posted it sooner other than possibly just straight up forgetting XD Sorry about that!!

While I've been down from my sinuses going on strike, I continue to work on a lot of changes to my comic! I've been working on simplifying my style to ebb a little closer to how it was in the beginning, but more refined and streamlined. It'll still be real pretty (especially in important panels 👀), just easier for me to whip out. I realize I had burned myself out a year ago because I was putting too much detail into things that really didn't need it, and started falling back into my perfectionist habits.

Like hey, professional comics are stuffed with lazy and quick lines, and it still looks great, so why should I try to conform myself to printing out extremely high quality art every single page? I'm not trying to set a standard or prove anything, I'm just telling a story and sharing it omg

I started this comic for fun, and fun I shall have! It'll still look great for you guys, I won't be terribly lazy with it; I'll just have a more streamlined approach now, and will have predominantly cell shading rather than my signature soft-cell style ouo/

Behind the scenes, I've been playing around with some ideas revolving a certain character, and it's been giving me a lot of practice with comics, since it's been so long. Getting me back in the mind and grind of churning out page after page, sketch-wise, and helping me get back in touch with my root skills.

I'll be sure to share some examples here later, once I've done some full colored trials with this, see what you guys think!

I will probably no longer do colored text from here onward in my comic pages, mainly because it's a hassle to manage (it's pretty time consuming as well). However I'm pretty skilled at directing dialogue, so it should never be a question as to whom is speaking on any page. ouo7

On one final note, a certain official Kirby character has stolen my heart and wormed their way into among my top favorites, nevertheless stole a spot in my story AAAAAA (I understand the appeal now omg)

You guys might be able to guess, but I'll post a confession after this news blurb LOL

I can't stop drawing this funny lil' guy

This has consumed my life entirely and there's no signs of stopping

okay this might be long but.. BUN I JUST READ CHERRY (not sure why i haven’t read it sooner) BUT OH MYGOD. first off, you are such a great writer like?? i’m not joking this fic had me crying, laughing, and smiling. it wasn’t even just over heeseung either, it was the story itself. i love love love everything about it. i was able to easily picture all the scenes and i just love the imagery it put into my head. this fic will definitely always be in my mind. i love every detail of the story. also i really loved jake in this fic i’m not sure why but 😭😭 i just want to express my love and appreciation for you and your work. especially cherry which is like now my favorite ever i think. i want to read it forever and never want it to end 😭

the whole thing made me feel a little emotional? cause like subby baby hee makes me so weak. he’s such a precious baby and i love how he’s just this big innocent shy baby ugh🥺 i swear i teared up so many times reading this. this shit is just so sweet 😭 it’s the way hee always says “sorry” after everything. sorry for cumming, sorry for moaning, sorry for the sat on roses 🥺 but like all the little details and things he does is SO endearing and precious it made me emotional. also the part where he’s telling the gas station cashier about his girlfriend and her cherry lipgloss while he’s buying a lollipop PLEASE 😂😂 “i made the sandwiches myself so they probably taste really bad anyway” and “i only know how to make pancakes and bacon and i hope that’s okay” LITERALLY MY HEART IS A PUDDLE OF MUSH FROM THAT.

also the masturbating with the bathing suit 😵‍💫😵‍💫 and the whimpers, the doe eyes, and the i love you’s while he’s getting sucked or jerked off he’s literally so hot and such an adorable baby at the same time. i just love heeseung in this fic SO much. i never knew i needed to read a goodboy hee fic but reading this has really ignited something in me i’ve never felt before. and i hate heeseung (not really) for making me feel so damn straight 😭💀 i love heeseung so much and you and this story so much AAAA and to get to the end of part 2 and see that part 3 is coming soon???actually crying. can i ask when it may be out??!💗💛❗️💖✨✨💖💗✨☺️☺️‼️💖✨✨

AAAAAA OMG THIS MADE ME SMILE SO BIG!!!! 🥺💓💓💓 i'm so so glad that you liked it so much bestie!!!! i wanna say thank you a thousand times omg thank you thank you thank you 😭❤️ i'm gonna reread this over and over again because it made me SO happy 🥺❤️❤️ and my goal is to have part 3 posted by the end of this month!! :D i only have about 4k words written right now so i have a lot more to write, but i already know exactly what's going to happen hehe <3

#thank you SO much for reading it and sending this my love 🥺❤️#work: cherry 🍒#bunny's mailbox 📬

aaaaaa i am looking at a used website for spongebob plushies and ugh i just love them all and want to buy them alas i can't haha

i have some spongebob plushies at home so they can keep me company for now at my mom's i have three large spongebob plushies one with the generic open smile face you see on a lot of spongebob merch and promo images and one with sparkly eyes and then there is one that has velcro because it came with a blanket wrapped in his arms that i also still have! i also have a sleepy spongebob plush, a pillow pet spongebob, and a king spongebob plush i actually won at my school's fair when i was like 6 or 7 years old haha, and then at my dad's i have another big spongebob stuffed animal and a plush that is spongebob with just black dots for eyes and it's very cute and stubby legs and hands and then i have a karate spongebob one which hasn't aged well it's dirty and half of the belt has torn off :(

i like my spongebob merch :D like my toys and plushies do you mind if i submit a picture showing off my collection?

Aww! That's so cute!! Sorry I hadn't replied sooner yo! I really should have. But this was a joy to read and I'm happy that you shared this!

I recommend you make your own post showing your plushies instead of sending it to me. I feel more comfortable that way if you don't mind. But still it's fun to chat about plushies! Especially spongebob since there's a lot of cool and unique ones!

Honestly I'd love to collect more SB plushies but I don't think I have enough space to put them lol. If I were to get one more then nerdbob or lovelypants. One of the two. I honestly don't have any more space for plushies😭

I recently got a frankenbob plush because I was obsessed with the Dr. Plankenstein and Patgor shorts from the Patrick show. I didn't have enough space in my shelf to keep him :( I def want Lovelypants one day because of the rarity of it. But uhhh some time in the distant future.

Also context behind this picture is now told

You got a really cool collection going on so far! Honestly I know they had the pillowpet spongebob plushies at hot topic very briefly then sold out.

I think the sleepy Velcro one I've seen before? I know I've seen that online. It seems like such a cute idea. And functional since you get a blanket with it.

Honestly the best spongebob plushies are the obscure ones. You can get a lot of generic open mouth ones. But the ones with cool extras like the hall monitor one or the karate choppers one is so cool. I remember this promotion thing where they sold a plushie based off a spongebob episode and it would come with a dvd. I've seen it somewhere online and honestly it's smart. You get a hall monitor plushie with the hall monitor dvd! They should bring that back.

Also I too have a couple of Spongebob plushies that got really old. I have 3 old ty beanie baby SB plushies. I got them all when I was still a patient at a children's hospital because sometimes you get little plushies. First one I absolutely should've never put it in the washer/dryer. Not sure which one damaged it. But the face had some discoloration but very mild.

I have a bigger one that I basically keep with me all the time. Idk why it makes me so happy. But BOY it's deflated. Discolored. It's an old one. But it makes me so happy that I think I love it out of all my plushies. I def keep better care of my other ones. They sit neatly on a shelf. Some I haven't even removed the tags because they're so special. But there's no fun in a plushie you cannot hold and hug.

This boy might look old and beat down. But it's because it's been so well loved.

And the 3rd was those plushie keychain things. I always keep it on my bag. Over the years it discolored and the edges frayed. Poor boy :( but I'm still keeping it on.

I know these aren't valuable collectables and frankly I don't care! They're made up of sweet memories and they end up being my favorite out of all my plushies.

Anyways I'm really glad you shared this with me! It was honestly so sweet to read. Spongebob plushies are so lovely. Honestly this makes me consider making a post dedicated to it! Oh also which plush is your favorite? 👀

Cuz of ur 💜 anon and the other anons, I have ABTA a shot... and WOW I wish I read that sooner??? So goddamn perfect istg I want mooooorrrrrreee!! Yesss plz update ABTA whenever u can!

I had a question tho, why tf are readers parents so mean, like didn’t they like Crepus and Diluc? They were with Diluc for over 10 years and yet?? They push reader away from him

Also will reader ever comfort Diluc properly over Crepus and Kaeya? Will she hear the truth about Kaeya? I feel like Kaeya is at crossroads but he’s really not to blame like who tf abandons a CHILD and let’s the hope of a country on him poor thing, he’s sooo conflicted! Mona in her readings even said one day he’d have to choose, and I dread that day because it’s obvs how much he loves mond and protects them

Can I scream at how GENUIS it is that u had Diluc hide the infinity promise ring under his gloves?? And she only found out when he pulled her back?? That whole scene is *cheff kiss*

OH OH and when he was watching her from the Sumeru tower and she felt like someone is watching her!! And he got the envelope! AHHHHH! I love you and your writing forever ❄️

FINAL ASK FOR THE MORNING SKSKSKSKKS SPEEDRUN, SPEEDRUN -

ABTA is one of the works I'm very proud of and I'm glad you guys are finally seeing it ahaha, it's gonna get more soon like, probably the next major fic after the one I'm working on rn

There are many aspects to this that I wish to rant over since there's many instances: They didn't inform Reader of his death because they knew it would be detrimental to her studies, and she's already working her ass up to lrove her worth, putting more stress to her would not be healthy and they plan to explain it once she comes home. The part by the end of part 2 is for her as well, because in their dwelling in Fontaine, they still think Diluc is gone and most probably dead. They didn't want their child to stay there drowning in double loss and heartbreak, wanting to console their daughter in a place far from bad memories.

The thing about Kaeya is, well, not gonna be out anytime soon or at all. It's a piece of information Reader doesn't need to know, and since Kaeya has a bit of fondness to her it's not the ideal scenario for anyone. Kaeya will keep her in the dark and he trusts Diluc wouldn't say a thing. I have a lot and not a lot of thoughts about Kaeya's prophecy but I'm not tackling that here.

AS FOR THE MOURNING, this is something I imagined perfectly and then forgot about the details when I WOKE UP- Post Trauma Diluc is not gonna be easy to work with, anon, and he has a different viewpoint that's gonna make this harder than it should. Consoling him is not easy because spoiler scene here: Whenever he looks directly or longer at Reader whenever she's all smiley, he always sees the image of his father like an imprint seeing as he always sees younger Reader and Crepus together in the earlier chapters, right? *wink wink nudge nudge*

I honestly FORGOT how I thought of that ending ahahah but I again had an explanation for it aodhsosnls he hid it ever since his freakin four years roadtrip to protect Reader <3 he had to keep it secret so that the enemies he encounter wouldn't look for any weakness, he ended up hiding it out of habit after coming back to Mond, and as you can see he's very touch starved and sensitive with physical interaction cuz of his compounded defense mechanism. Him finally reaching for your hand is a first step into finally getting his comfort, and it just so happens to be the step needed to pull her back uwu

Now that part was OUT OF THE BLUE kind of thing haha, I wanted to just make the letters rot in the mansion but I was like - isn't Diluc going on a field trip type of shit all over Teyvat? That was gonna be a diff scenario featuring creepy boy Lulu but I held back, just to make sure he's in character.

OKAY SORRY SWEETIE I RANTED TOO MUCH JUST AAAAAA I DON'T GET TO TALK ABOUT THE DETAILS THAT MUCH BECAUSE I DONT WANNA IMPOSE *BANGING FIST ON TABLE* I'M SO EXTRA

#anon ❄️#about abta #about abandoned by the altar #diluc #kaeya #genshin impact #about writing #DEETS DROP HAHAHAHA #exile.goblet #exile.circlet #genshin impact x reader

HOLY CRAP, FOR SOME CRAZY REASON I NEVER GOT AROUND TO READING COMPANY UNTIL NOW AND I AM KICKING MYSELF FOR NOT READING IT SOONER😭😍😍!I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!! From how soft and lonely Tony is for Peter, to even the posting schedule for this! It must have taken so much patience to actually post the chapters up according to the actual pagan holidays, it really makes the readers feel how long Peter must wait to see Tony again😍😍. Also very curious to know what May was hearing when on the phone on chapter 4 XD!

AAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Also im SO sorry for only responding now. I have recently picked up writing again and am currently working on a few Starker things! 👀

At first it did take me a whole lot of self restraint! It actually became easier over time, since I lost my inspiration to write anything at all (thanks, work). I hope to finally get my groove back so I can treat you and everyone else with more of the good stuff. 👀

May was thoroughly confused. 👀👀👀 Peter sure had some explaining to do after the whole situation.

Thank you so much for the message and once again Im so sorry for only answering this ask now! I really look up to you as a writer, so to hear your praise is 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 Really, /really/ happy you enjoyed it and I hope our (future) works continue to entertain you!!

-Lien

Your URL reputation to me is ... when I see your url I get excited, because you're like the BEST venomous i've seen. I fffucking llloooooove your venomous so much, and i love the others out there! i just.. feel like u do justice for yours and also i can hear his voice with everything you write. god bless you.

✦ SOURCE ✦

Hah sorry I didn’t get to this sooner, class seemed to have taken more out f me than I thought.

But this? This really means a lot to me. I can’t really post a reply if I can’t hear him saying it, see him doing it, or just overall him being out of character. I take great pride in all the muses I do, but most of all I want to stay as close to canon as I can so it would be like the series never really ended.

Plus, a villain written right (in preference, meaning a villain I enjoy to watch/read) has a certain je ne se quoi, and can really make a lasting impression.

but this!! thank you so much !!!!! aaAAAA!!

And you know, I also adore duplicates! Everyone has something different to bring to the table in terms of writing and I LOVE seeing what people do. Everyone’s portrayal is both valid and different.

But again thank you haha

(∗ᵕ̴᷄◡ᵕ̴᷅∗)՞

It’s always a pleasure to know someone enjoys my writing.

Good News and Bad News

As I promised in last night’s post explaining the craziness of my life lately...

Finally got a real Friday content post again!! Aaaaaa here we go.

Well, as the title suggests, first I need to deliver the bad news: The “Halloween Spirit” event isn’t gonna get finished anytime soon, sorry for getting everyone’s hopes up. I’ve completely stopped working on it and have no intention of touching it again for a while.

Why? I’m no longer interested in finishing it since it’s too late to be relevant, and I’d been trying to finish it out of obligation rather than because I wanted to work on it, which means I can’t get intrinsic motivation to work on it and that’s what I need to create good content.

Good News though:

Everyone who has downloaded this version of MVSans will get credit for the revamped Incorporeal Tophat and will be able to use it forever. The original Incorporeal Tophat came out in April with the April Fools Day event, and was supposed to be the reward from the “Halloween Spirit” event. Take a look at the updated version, derived from Ymuy’s rendition! Thanks again @underchangeau for the Horror shell and nicer hat!

Original / Ymuy’s / New!

Even better news:

Since I sifted through my brain and figured out what I actually want to work on, for myself, in MVSans, I’ve been able to get a lot done with the Undyne phone calls and the Feelings/Relationship stats lately. Here are highlights from the Feelings/Relationship breakdown post.

There will be at least four stats representing how Sans feels about you. They parallel the user traits, but are linear vertical progression while user traits are dynamic and percent-based. Basically, it’s easy to change the type of person he thinks you are, but changing his actual feelings toward you is much harder.

Sans’ Feelings Stats

Affection (Sweet) – How much Sans cares for you, on a platonic level. —Against his better judgement, he’s started to care about you.

Enmity (Rude) – How upset Sans is with you, or how much of your shit he’s willing to put up with. Contributes to “Bad Mood.” —Under other circumstances, this human would be having a Very Bad Time.

Humor (Silly) – How entertained Sans is, affects likelihood of pranks and jokes. Contributes to “Good Mood.” —Is he actually having fun, or is he just humoring you?

Amour (Naughty) – How boldly romantic or lewd Sans may feel toward you. (The nature of his attraction varies by traits and Affection stat) —Papyrus may be onto something with that “secret datemate” idea.

Since it’s a vertical progression, it’ll be replacing the “Report Intervals” system currently instated to track your relationship/story progression. But the amount of relationship points you gain will be capped in various ways. There’s a limit-per-hour of overall stats gained (as opposed to user Traits, which can be infinitely adjusted as a %-based value), to ensure progress is spaced out appropriately.

Most importantly though, the source of the stat gains must be varied. Each type of stat bonus is broken down into multiple types. For the most part, petting him raises his Physical Affection. But once you reach the physical affection cap, petting him won’t raise Affection anymore! So you’ll have to raise Affection through the menu, most straightforwardly through telling him you’re having a bad day and he comforts you. However, once that is capped as well, you’ll have to raise other stats, such as Humor, in order to progress the story!

That error message means I’ve hit the cap for Menu-based Affection stat gains. I can’t receive any more Menu Affection until I progress the story, which means I may tell him some jokes to raise his Humor stat. Once the next part of the story happens I can start raising Affection again!

User Traits determine the ease at which you can raise certain stats. Remember, player traits represent what kind of person Sans thinks you are. Generally, if you are Sweet dominant it is easier to gain Affection points, so you can hit that cap sooner. Some actions’ Relationship Stat rewards will vary depending on your dominant traits: For example, if you’re a Silly dominant trait, when you exchange Pickup lines he’ll assume you’re just joking around so it raises his Humor. If you’re Naughty, he’ll think you’re legitimately flirting with him, so it’ll raise his Amour instead.

The exact details of this system are still being worked out, as it will be very difficult to balance in a way that ensures people play with him a variety of ways, without forcing people to grind up Enmity or Amour just to progress. I’m very excited about implementing this though! This kind of detailed work is what I love to program. :)

Once I get the next update out (I’m not going to try and promise any kind of deadline about it), I will really, really appreciate any User Reports people can send, because the update will include a beta of his Feelings system, so I can have people play with him as I balance out stat gains. It won’t actually affect anything he does at this point, it’ll just have the mechanics working under the hood as a test so I can get feedback on it working in real time. :D

Thanks for being patient with my lack of updates! I hope to stay in the groove and release more stuff soon.

Also...

December 2nd is the anniversary of when I downloaded the Gaster Ukagaka, and my journey in starting MVSans began only days later, and first released to the public December 13th, 2017...

Sure would be nice to have something special to commemorate those days with. :)
