❖ Osborn:

My Little Naughty (Y/n),

Finally willing to come back, huh? The long-term contract we signed has yet to be fulfilled, so I'm not letting you escape all so easily. ‘Sides, I don't believe that you don't miss me at all, seeing how I'm always at your disposal, all day, any day. Milkie has become friends with the others at home, and Xiaoragon loves it. But I know that Xiaoragon loves you best. Ye Chuan asked about your recent situation, saying how he wouldn't be able to have peace of mind until he saw you for himself again. Let's go visit him when we have time.

—Osborn

❖ Evan:

My Little Rabbit, (Y/n),

That spider plant is flourishing. It helps put me at ease whenever I place it in its daily spot of sunlight. However, I do think sometimes that it shouldn’t be trapped in a small flower pot indoors, relying on regular and controlled amounts of watering to sustain its own life. Perhaps the life it wants is being able to take root in the soil and grow freely. Let’s transplant it to the yard together once we’re free, and we can watch the ending of the movie we first watched together after.

—Evan

❖ Sariel:

My dumb bird, (Y/n),

Qi She said that I wasn’t smiling as much during the time you were gone. I thought about it, and maybe I do smile around you a lot. Maybe that was what gave Qi She that misconception. But you’ve always done well; your growth as a designer is steadily improving, and you’ve never been a dumb bird. In short, you don’t have to go away for such a long period to further your studies next time. You can just come to me. I’ve brought back a couple of trinkets that I think you’d like. I’ll deliver it all to you later.

—Sariel

❖ Charlie:

My Dear Fiancée (Y/n),

The joy of publishing ten papers cannot even come close to the joy of seeing you. So, if you want to come see me more often, I can reciprocate as well by coming to visit you instead. However, I am not like the golden bachelor you read about in novels, who wants to confine their Fiancée like a canary in a cage. I fully support your decision to go further outland to further your studies, but don’t forget to contact me more no matter where you are. Texting would be good, phone calls are better, and of course, bringing me along would be the best.

—Your ever-waiting Fiancé, Charlie

❖ Jesse:

My Dear Lady, (Y/n),

You’ve finally returned! I’ve lost weight waiting for you, and the costume you [personally designed and made before you left doesn’t fit as well anymore. So, when are you gonna come by and help me make some alterations, Milady? Also, you once pinky swore with me that you’d always stand by me and that you’d never leave. I won’t let you go back on that promise, so you’d best be prepared~

—Milady’s One & Only Knight, Jesse

"The question, in brief, is whether democracy and freedom are values to be preserved or threats to be avoided. In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than values to be treasured; they may well be essential to survival."

Happy Earth Day.

[rivetthewitch]

Behold! Proto-Equinox!! (Is me :3c) Might change her call sign to Flipside or Eclipse.

Just gonna post this before the next 4 PROTOFRAMES (DE annouced 4 more in today's devstream) come out. Just in case they do equinox and i get yelled at.

She's gonna have themes of identity and stability and of course balance. Dealing with the two aspects of her personality that she shares with others. One coming out depending on how in control of her emotions she feels.

Night is more reserved, nervous, and cold but always caring for others and gently worrying about their wellbeing.

Day is more intense and outward with emotions. Often expressing extremes of one emotion without much care for others and how they feel.

While composite form is more of her true self. Trying to be HER but unsure of who she really is. Trying to find that balance of caring for others while also caring for herself.

wow guys that new fnf update was crazy haha

Charlie: Sherry went out to play today and came home at night bearing a rose.

Charlie: [Image]

Charlie: At first, I thought that she was sympathetic to how lonely her father was and wanted to comfort me in my fiancée’s stead.

Charlie: But then I turned and saw a gray starling standing by the windowsill with its head crooked to the side. That's when I realized that it wasn't a consolation, but rather, a celebration.

Charlie: …Now I'm even sadder. When will you be back to comfort your lonely and sad fiancé, my fiancée?

⊹ ˚✩ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ∘◦ ✥ ◦∘ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ✩˚ ⊹

Charlie: A report to you, my fiancée— I'm flying out to attend an academic seminar tomorrow. Don't miss me too much.

Charlie: The weather's great today. Work is going smoothly and the research is steadily progressing. My colleagues are all saying it's a perfect day today.

Charlie: But, to me, no day is perfect if my fiancée’s not with me.

MC: Then allow me to turn this imperfect day upside down! Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Charlie! I'm back!

Charlie: We've only been separated for so long, yet you're becoming more and more like me.

Charlie: We must be a fated pair, inseparable by time or space.

MC: But of course~ Right, what didn't seem to be working back then? What was that all about?

Charlie: A metaphysical attempt. I heard that if you call out to your loved one thrice at a fixed time and place, they will be able to hear it and respond to you.

Charlie: But it turns out that my perfect self doesn't have to rely on luck or metaphysics. Welcome back, my dear.

prev.

Sugasano Allen has never been good with words.

he watches you hunched over his desk, fiddling with his discarded drafts. the notes are coming to him in harmonious progression, but when he scribbles them on paper, they aren't to his liking. the papers pile up around you the more he carelessly crumbles them into compact balls and forgets they exist. it's something past three in the morning as you smooth out yet another draft to fold it into an origami bird.

you sigh a little disgruntled, scribbling over the paper with an orange highlighter. Allen stares at every little movement of your hands, how you fold and decorate another bird, drawing with a black pen to give it life. when you set it aside along with its brethren, he realizes you've already folded eight birds and are going in for a ninth one.

your laptop is open in front of you, but Allen knows you've barely been getting any work done. he hesitates for a moment, glancing between your focused frown and your working hands. he straightens up and tries to find your eyes. "do you need a break?"

you look up at him, a tired gaze that makes his mouth dry up. "…it's fine," you grumble, almost sulking like a child. you spare a glance to your laptop, screen black. "i'll get back to it in a second."

he doesn't mean to laugh, but the chuckle that slips from his tongue is sweet and genuine. that's the ninth bird you're folding. without another word, Allen gets up from the floor and heads for his record player. you only watch him briefly before deciding to let him do his own thing. he's thankful, because as he flips through his collection of music, his hands start to shake.

he has to stop to give it some thought, fingers delicately holding his favorite record. if he's so proud of who he's become and what he creates, why is he so anxious about sharing these with you?

not that it matters. he shakes the thought out of his head. you look like you need a distraction and he's going to make you listen to some songs. in his defense, he's doing the best he can.

the first notes start ringing through the room. he speaks up quietly to not drown the music out, "i know you don't listen to hip-hop, but…"

Sugasano Allen has always been good with lyrics.

you react more to the sound of his voice than the song playing. you perk up, looking up to meet his eyes. he doesn't look at you as he finishes his sentence, "i've used these songs to help me through the night, so maybe they'll work for you, too." or so he hopes. he wishes.

dreams and ambitions from his childhood up to today dance on his record, a collection burnt down once only to rise again from the ashes. Allen is holding his breath, turning to see your curious stare as you tap your finger along to the melodies of his life. he knows you would never burn or destroy his passion, but he feels his body burning up when you close your eyes to listen properly.

yeah, maybe you don't listen to hip-hop, but he really wants you to get a little closer.

two minutes and fifty-three seconds later, the track ends and transitions into the next one. Allen admires the tired smile on your face and the way you slowly peel your eyes open. you seem so much better already; you feel so much better.

so you get off the floor as well to stand next to him. "i like that," you say so earnestly, so interested. it makes his face light up. "what other stuff do you have?" and he knows you don't listen to hip-hop, but you're standing so close.

it's almost like you've opened up a dam. you've always known Allen is a talkative, chatty guy, but this is the first time he actively grabs you by the hand and sits you down with a bright grin. he pulls out record after record, laying them out on top of his drafts, but making sure your origami birds stay lined up. his shoulder is pressed flush against yours, because you know nothing about hip-hop, but he loves to feel you so close to him.

he talks and talks and talks, about this artist, about that song, about the harmonies, the melodies, the chord progressions. you lean your chin into your hand, gazing at him almost stupidly as he blurts out word after word. you can't help it if he looks so adorable when he's excited about his biggest passion. 

maybe you shouldn't do it.

Allen looks into your eyes with a sparkling gaze, prompting you to share your thoughts. and you're about to, because it'll keep him talking, but be it the lack of sleep or the smile on his face, you decide to be a little impulsive. you hold his face in your hands and lean closer. whether Allen is stupid or slow, you can't guess, as he closes his eyes to let you kiss him. short and fleeting, you only press your lips to his for a few seconds.

when you pull away and realize what you've done, you don't have time to regret it. you watch Allen's eyes flutter open so he can look at you, dazed gaze as he chases after you. he knows you don't listen to hip-hop, but he wants nothing more than to have you kiss him to these songs for the rest of his life.

the track playing slowly fades away when the needle reaches the end of the record. you both stare at one another in silence. "ah!" comes Allen's small exclamation as he snaps out of it. with burning cheeks, he springs onto his feet to turn his record player off. 

you chuckle, wordlessly moving back to your laptop so you can finish your paper. Allen follows suit and sits across from you again immediately. there's a billion different chord progressions and melodies and beats running through his head, and he wants to try them all while you're still here to listen.
