(i’m projecting i fear) ((im not brave enough to even send this out of anon))

i hope you have an absolutely lovely day even if this prompt isn’t your thing and i adore your writing!!

Bunny Girl

Tenya Iida x Rabbit!Female!Reader Summary: Tenya Kids got the hots for a strong bunny girl!

★☽A/N: NO ONE HAS EVER SAID THEY ADORE MY WRITING. AWHHABHDJAVHS THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I haven't seen a good prompt in a while. I love, love, love your prompt! I hope this piece is to your liking <33

Contents: TOTAL FLUFF <33

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈•ﾟ｡

During class 1A’s second year, a new student was transferred from Shiketsu. She was so similar to Mirko! She had calves for feet and fluff like leg warmers! She also had expressive long bunny ears which you could just stay forever! And a cute fluff ball for a tail! Despite her cute appearance, she is fierce and strong in battle! She was a much cuter version of Mirko but had the same personality as the hero.

When she first joined, she was immediately bombarded with questions! Like, “Are those leg warmers or are they real?” , “Can I touch your ears?” , “Do your ears move according to your emotions?” And all kinds of questions, even disturbing ones from a certain purple haired boy.. But she was still well-respected by her peers!

Especially a certain boy~ Tenya Iida always respected Y/N, maybe even admired her for her strength. He was amazed by her impressive agility and battle knowledge. She soon became close with the rich boy. She told him how she interned with Mirko during her first year, back in Shiketsu. He was impressed she was able to do an internship with a well-known pro hero.

Despite her strong personality in battle, she was often shy and quite introverted. She didn’t talk much to other students and mainly spoke to her classmates in Class A. She didn’t like to talk with others because of the amount of anxiety, thinking about how they would think of her. Whenever she needed changes in her costume, she would always get flustered and shy whenever Hatsume started talking a lot to her.

She would actually go behind Iida whenever a student went up to her to talk. Iida found this cute but still encouraged her to open up to others. (In other words, he lectured her about confidence). The girl never really paid too much attention towards his lectures and his hand chops. She actually found it funny and endearing.

Despite Y/N’s shy personality, she was still a friendly sweetheart! If her classmates had to pick who to do a project with, she was the first pick. Actually, during her first project with Class A, everyone quickly turned to her. She was crowded with everyone, begging for her to be partners with her. Of course, she ended up being partners with Iida who was the only one who didn’t beg her to be his project partner.

Of course, Y/N liked him a lot! He was the only boy she felt comfortable with. He just felt… safe to be around. She was always scared to make the first move. But she always tried her best to be close with him, to get to know him more. And each day, she managed to fall in love with him more, more, and more.

Turns out, a certain boy felt the same as her. And he had planned to make the first move.

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈•ﾟ｡

It was a sunny, yet windy day. Tenya managed to muster up the courage to ask her to meet him at a garden he knew she liked. She, of course, said yes to him and did what he asked. She dressed up in a cute outfit, her rabbit features complementing her outfit.

She wondered why he wanted her to wear something cute. Perhaps she was going to get asked out?! She was a good deductor, after all. She'll admit, she actually likes the boy. She was comfortable with him, more than anyone she knows in her school.  She had these thoughts as she walked to the garden.

She admired the flowers she saw along the way to the exact spot Iida told her to meet him. She eventually made it and saw the flowers in his hands. It was her favorite flowers, they looked lovely in ribbons and paper it was wrapped with. She couldn’t help but blush with excitement.

“Tenya! How lovely!” She chuckled, walking up to him and receiving the flowers. “You didn’t have to.” The boy shook his head, “No, I knew it was the appropriate thing to do for a beautiful girl like you.” Y/N chuckled at his last words, giggling after seeing his blushed face when he realized those words.

With a cough to compose himself, he straightened his posture. “Anyways, I would like to ask for your hand in love. I would like to give us a chance, if you will allow,” he confessed, helding a hand out to her with his opposite hand on his back. Y/N chuckled again at the cheesiness at the sight. But she found it cute, she found him cute as well.

“Of course.” She smiled a soft smile that made Tenya know he was right for trusting his guts.

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈•ﾟ｡

Now, have they kissed? Not yet! During the first months of their relationship, their PDA was mostly holding hands, hugging, and kissing (Not on the lips yet!). But they’re just such an adorable couple! “Couple goals!” is what Mina Ashido would always yell out whenever she sees them doing PDA

Y/N still hides behind Iida whenever she can’t handle talking to strangers. But it’s way more affectionate! Despite Tenya telling her that she should work on her confidence by talking to others, he still loves whenever she hides behind him, hugging his waist in a bear hug and covering her face on his back.

Now, if Y/N was a short girl then she can easily be covered by Tenya, easily hidden. But if Y/N is as tall as Tenya, her blushed face would be covered by Tenya’s shoulder. BUT if she’s way taller than Tenya then her face would be covered by his hair! Despite his hair being quite flat, she still gonna try to hide herself.

And when they first kissed, it was so adorable! She was the one who kissed him first. Tenya was so surprised when she first kissed him, before smiling brightly with blush on his face.

Tenya Iida, the Turbo Hero and Y/N L/N, the Bunny Hero are the best couple ever!

Meet the Zish-Zish! Our creature roster expands with another small species that inhabits the Ssizur desert. This time, an agile hopper reptavian that lives in packs (or mobs, if you will). Because it's a social animal, it uses its ears and colorful plumage to communicate with other members of its group and intimidate possible predators. All those characteristics were incorporated in the design of the Zish-Zish for its miniature, although if we wanted them to be noticeable, those had to be bold and exaggerated.

Also, we had to show at least a portion of how swift and expressive this creature is, so we ended up choosing the "hopping", "attacking", and "distressing" variants.

Of course, the attacking pose was the most challenging, but we managed to make it well-balanced thanks to the custom base with the porous desert rock. This animal rarely touches the hot sands, so it was the perfect opportunity for us to make some dynamic poses!

The final touch had to be the colors, and because this species was a mix between an avian and a reptile (you could say it's a little bit "dinosaur-ish"), we decided to give it some striking pigments. The aquamarine blue was perfect as a contrast to the acid yellow of the desert.

And that's it for the Zish-Zish! If you liked this species for our project REALMS and want to print one (or lots of them!), please consider supporting us. It includes some goodies so you can implement these in your campaigns, so give it a shot!

Every purchase helps us a lot to continue developing these critters! You can get the Zish-Zish and other beasties here:

Coming soon in Stripped Down and Rebuilt...

When the rat poked his head out, likely puzzled by not hearing the boys climb onto the bed adjacent to his hiding place, Severus dropped the web of spells he’d been weaving near the ceiling. A rainbow of revealing, negation, reversing, and stinging magic swirled down to envelop the rat. Pettigrew squealed in shock the same way he had at twelve years old as he returned to human form, his sudden bulk lifting the bed. Severus thought he was ready for this, he’d been anticipating it for months. It was a bit like popping the lid off of a pressurized system. All the boiling hot rage, his distilled grief and pain, and the liquid violence he kept a tight lid on in his day to day flashed into vapor in an instant, expanding to fill every corner of his mind and body and overwhelming him in its intensity. The shockwave moved through him, blasting formless magic across the room toward the frantically scrabbling man half-caught beneath the bed. “Snape, oof, Snape please, you know how dangerous Sirius is! I was scared for my life. Please, mercy,” the rat groveled. Severus had no mercy in him for this creature. Curses rolled off his tongue that could get him six months in Azkaban at best, but the deceptively agile man freed himself from the furniture Severus’ rage had helped tip over and escaped the sloppy spells Severus cast with shaking hands. “It’s your fault she’s dead,” Severus wailed. “You sold them to the Dark Lord! For what?” “No! No, that was Sirius!” “Then why are you still alive?” The words tore out of him like shrapnel from a bomb. Severus launched himself at Pettigrew, who was stocky and slightly shorter than Severus, a change from when they were young and Severus had always been the smallest in his year. Sectumcempra took off three more of the rat’s fingers, this time on his wand hand, and then Severus raised his left hand, holding his silver potion master’s knife. Pettigrew twisted, but Severus was faster. He slashed down to embed the blade in the stocky man’s shoulder. They grappled, and the knife came free. Accuracy honed from dissecting animals for potion ingredients guided the second stab into the joint, rendering the rat’s right arm useless, but Pettigrew was left-handed and had pulled a wand from somewhere. There wasn’t much room for spell casting, and he was dimly aware of the children screaming along with Pettigrew as warm blood coated Severus’ left hand. “You should have died protecting them.” “That’s the pot calling the cauldron, isn’t it?” Pettigrew said when he got his breath back. The rat raised his wand, but Severus didn’t give him enough room to cast. Pure-bloods knew nothing of the kind of brawls Severus had been in. Fights fought with teeth, elbows, and fists instead of wands on the streets of Cokeworth gave him an edge in close quarters that had ended several who’d seen more than Severus wanted them to during the war. Even muggle-born wizards were afraid of snapping their wands in a grapple, and few had the magical power or mental focus to cast at full strength when they didn’t have free movement of their wand arm. “You were a Death Eater in the inner circle! You wanted Lily for yourself after James and Harry were dead!” “I was protecting her the only way I could!” Severus screamed, managing to fire off a close-quarters blasting curse that punched into the rat’s side and exploded the side table behind him. “Of course I begged Him for mercy, just as I begged Dumbledore to protect her!”

Time for some revenge.

Open Wounds - 17

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader

Warnings: nope

The team gathered in one of the meeting rooms to discuss the latest mission. Everyone was going to be required for this one apparently. You sat beside Bucky, the two of you holding hands as you waited for Tony and Steve to brief you on the assignment. Finally, everyone was present and the duo moved to the front of the room.

A picture showing a blond man and a red-headed woman flashed up on the screen behind them. “Meet Pietro and Wanda Maximoff,” Tony said as he gestured to the screen. “Pietro is twelve minutes older than his twin. Born in Sokovia, currently residing at a Hydra base in Germany.”

“Their parents were killed in a bombing when they were ten years old. They grew up in a series of orphanages and foster homes until they answered a call for volunteers for a government program.” Steve sighed. “The truth was it was Hydra, of course.”

Tony sat on the table that ran across the front of the room. “It’s unknown exactly what they were subjected to but the result is clear.” He clicked a remote in his hand and the picture changed to one of just Pietro and another of a blur. “Pietro Maximoff. Capable of achieving near supersonic speeds. His body has adapted to make him the perfect speed machine. His cardiovascular and respiratory systems function at a more efficient level. His body naturally sheds fatigue poisons so he doesn’t tire. His bones, tendons and joints are more durable and more efficient. His reaction times are faster.”

He swung his legs and ran his gaze over the room. “Along with this he has superhuman strength, accelerated perception, supercharged brain activity, superhuman agility, metabolism and reflexes.”

With every new thing he listed, your brows lifted further. Damn. You weren’t looking forward to this fight and you hadn’t even heard about the sister yet.

“Wanda Maximoff,” Steve said and Tony clicked his remote again. The picture switched to one of her sitting on the floor, blocks floating in the air in front of her. “It’s believed that the full range of her capabilities have not yet been discovered. Known powers are telepathy, telekinesis, and phobikinesis.”

Your brow furrowed. “What the fuck is that?”

Steve frowned at your language and you just grinned at him. When he wasn’t trying to be professional his mouth could put Wade to shame.

“She can manipulate your fears, project images into your brain that you think are real,” Tony answered.

“Sounds fun,” Sam said.

“So, is this a rescue or a kill mission?” you asked.

Several looks were shot in your direction. You sighed. Half of the Avengers wanted to kill as little as possible. The other half did whatever was necessary to protect the innocent.

“We would prefer to take them in. According to our source, the twins have no love or loyalty for Hydra other than doing what they must to stay alive,” Steve explained. “However, I’m not willing to trade one of them for my team. Do what you must to protect yourself and your teammates. Intel packets have been sent to your tablets for your review. Any questions in the meantime?”

No one spoke up.

Tony clapped his hands together. “Wheels up at 2300 hours. You’re dismissed.”

Bucky retained his grip on your hand and dragged you behind him to his room. You just shook your head and smiled the whole way. Surprisingly enough, the two of you managed to find the time to review the mission before you grabbed your gear and raced to the jet six hours later.

There was more resistance at the base than expected. It was crawling with soldiers and defense systems. But the team pushed forward, unwilling to leave the assets in Hydra’s hands. While the others continued to distract their forces, you, Steve, and Bucky made your way inside.

You moved through the base taking out any resistance you encountered, planting explosives as you went. You had cleared about a third of the base when a blur ran past knocking your feet out from under you. A grunt of pain left your lips as you slammed into the concrete. “Ow.”

Steve and Bucky stood to either side of you, watching the hall as they gave you time to get back on your feet. Another blur and Buck joined you on the ground while Steve slammed into a wall. You sat up but didn’t get back to your feet as you attempted to make yourself look as non-threatening as possible.

“We’re here to rescue you and your sister,” you said though you couldn’t see the man you were talking to. “We have no intention of harming you. Or using you.”

“And we should believe you?” a feminine voice answered.

You jerked your head in the direction it had come from to see Wanda Maximoff standing a safe distance away. Her gaze moved between the three of you as wisps of red power swirled around hands that she kept at her sides for the moment.

“Yes.” You stood to your feet but kept your weapon lowered.

“Why should we?” the other twin asked from the opposite end of the hallway.

“Because I was you not that long ago,” you said. “Then they saved me.” Okay, so technically SHIELD had saved you, but the Avengers were a better option anyway.

“Me, too,” Bucky added.

There was a long stretch of silence until Wanda broke it. “We will go with you.”

You smiled. “Good. I don’t suppose you know what we could blow up to cause the most damage do you?” Even though your attention was to bring the base down, they always seemed to dig their way out. You preferred to keep that from happening if you could.

The blond gave you a wicked grin. “Yes. Follow me.”

Steve glanced at the two of you but you simply shrugged and followed Pietro. You had to show a little faith if they were truly going to come to your side. Everyone else fell into step behind you.

It didn’t take long for you to arrive at a room filled with tanks and barrels filled with who knows what. The majority of them were marked flammable however. A glance at the speedster showed him still wearing that grin. He crossed his arms over his chest as you caught his eye. “I was bored. Searched the whole base before they even knew I’d left our room.”

Must be nice to have that kind of speed. Steve glanced around. “Near as I can figure, we’re in the middle of the facility. A massive explosion here could bring down the whole building.”

Well, that was convenient. The three of you placed charges around the room while the twins kept watch at the door. “Let’s get out of here,” Steve ordered as he placed the last explosive.

You were two turns shy of the exit when you suddenly found yourselves surrounded. Your eyes flicked over the soldiers, counting your opposition as you assessed their strength.

“Ah. Nicto and Soldat how wonderful to see you again. Dare I hope you wish to return to us?” Your lip curled at the familiar voice of one of the men that had tormented you, tortured you. A sweep of the men around you showed him hiding behind several of them as he stood with his hands behind his back. Once he realized your attention was on him, he nodded in greeting. Asshole.

“Go fuck yourself, Vogt.” Bucky stepped closer to you, his eyes trained on the man as well.

Vogt held your gazes for another beat before shifting his attention to the twins. “And where do the two of you think you’re going?”

Pietro straightened, rolling his shoulders back. “Away from Hydra.”

“I am so disappointed. In all of you.” He turned and began walking away, his hands still behind his back. “Reclaim our assets.”

And just like that, chaos erupted. In the midst of it, you all missed the grenade that had been thrown right between you and Bucky until it was almost too late. Bucky shoved you away from it just before it went off. He was between you and it when it exploded. The force was still enough to send you to the ground. After a moment of being stunned, you looked around.

Bucky laid unconscious a short distance away from you, blood running from a cut in his head. You grimaced as you pushed yourself up, your ears ringing. You shook your head as you tried to shake off the disorientation. Before you could check on your soulmate, you were looking down the barrel of a gun and a knife was at your throat. Several other weapons were trained on you as well. Fuck. You lifted your hands in surrender not seeing any other option.

“Enough,” a voice shouted. The Hydra soldiers stopped fighting immediately other than to defend themselves. Your team joined them once they saw the position you were in. Steve’s gaze kept darting from your eyes to the blade pressed against your neck. As Hydra was explaining to your team why they should surrender, you caught Steve’s gaze. You looked from him to Bucky then in the direction of the exit. You did it a couple of times.

When you looked back to Cap, his jaw was set and his eyes were hard. As they were prompted to make a decision about what they were going to do, he gave a barely perceptible nod. You drove your elbow into the man behind you and dropped to the floor. You fought, taking out who you could, trying to give the others the chance to escape. They just needed time.

Unfortunately, it didn’t take nearly long enough for you to find yourself with your face shoved against the cold concrete as your hands were zip tied behind your back. Your ankles were next followed by another binding closer to your knees.

“The others are escaping,” a voice said.

“Let them. We’ve suffered too many losses already.” You were lifted from the floor and tossed over a shoulder. “And she is a prize too valuable to risk. Strucker will be pleased.”

The name sent a shiver up your spine. Strucker was a sadistic bastard but you’d endure it. You had to. After all, it didn’t matter what happened to you as long as Bucky was safe.

My mental decline, as illustrated in Perforce. Fuck Perforce wHY IS PERFORCE INDUSTRY STANDARD???

For those who don’t know: Perforce or p4v is an application that allows people to check out files from a drive remotely and work on it from another drive so that multiple people can work on different aspects of one big project at the same time from different locations. Like submitting files to a shared folder in Google Drive, but without Google as the middle man. Of course, shit don’t always work right.

Above is my revision history of my project that has to be submitted after my Unreal Engine (game engine) files didn’t save right and fucking disappeared. Thankfully, my un-converted Autodesk Maya (3D modeling software) modkit (set of assets to build a level in a game engine) file was still there but holy shit if that didn’t save my work I was going to jump off a bridge.
