#Sir Didymus the Cat

[fitzs-space]

Watched Labyrinth last night with @galacticjay1, and my brain worms took over.

So woe, hermitcraft Labyrinth au be upon ye

Gem as Sarah, main character energy unfortunately but someone's gotta do it. she's the type to just end up in situations. that way the baby Toby can be her puppy Winnie. [alt option would have been Scott, cause Scott's got the vibe to just be in places, but he could not be bothered to actually go through the labyrinth]

Bdubs as Hoggle, just look at him. the tolken short guy whos forced to help and will complain every step of the way about it, and will completely kissass up to their boss. Also both having a prized possession always kept at their side [the Clock, and the bundle of jewelry]

Scar as Jareth the Goblin King, Yea. Who else.

Etho as Ludo, just vibes really. Quiet dude willing to help and can just do wild shit for no good reason. [alt option was Doc, cause he's got the tall brute force energy to him as well, by they said it didn't fit. Docs got more of a higher energy to him then what would fit]

Rens Sir Didymus, Dog Knight. eccentric mf who screams out soliloquys going on about saving the fair madden they have devoted their time and service to, is that Sir Didymus or Ren? yes. Ok those are the main ones, now onto the other characters met in the labyrinth in approximate order of appearance

Xisuma is the worm. look at that mf and tell me I am wrong, one of the lines is this dude asking Sarah to come in for a cup of tea. Id apologize to the Xisuma enjoyers, but this is tumbler and people know he's a bit of a wet paper bag kinda guy.

Impulse and Skizz are the door Guards, The guards have no idea what's going on and neither do those two. I know its Technically the "Four Guards" and It could be team Zits, but the vibe isn't there fully. the type of mfs to mislead someone by pure accident[Skizz], and also cause its a lil funny[Impulse]

Martin as the False Alarms, their entire roll is to dramatically shout false warnings at the people who pass. If I didn't make the man who abuses the voice effects on his GoXLR as the rocks who wait to shout at people, I'd be making a mistake. [listener ass bitch] Also there is straight up a line where one of them goes "oh please, we don't get to shout these very often, its only our job" in some posh voice, then go back to the deep dramatic shouting. and that's just Martin man.

Grian and Mumbo as the Door Knockers, vibes [its also funny to make everyone's favorite guys as characters only seen for five minuets at most] If any two guys are going to be subjected to living their life forever constantly shouting at each other barely being able to understand what the other is saying, it'd be those two. Grian would be the Left, would also scream if he couldn't hear someone [Watcher allegations also] Mumbo as right because the ring in his mouth could be drawn as his mustache

Tango's a Firey, look at him. Cartoon ass bitch, the entire scuffed greenscreen dance sequence is on par with his thumbnails. I know there are supposed to be five of the dudes, but shhhh Zedaph would also fit with these fuckers. the type of guy who could probably detach his head, but still knows that there are manners and its rude to throw someone else's head

Pearl as the Junk Lady, she's the cleaning lady and collects trash, was it ever a question? And Pearls gremlin voice is the exact same as the Junk lady's voice

Doc's the lil fairies at the beginning of the labyrinth, everyone say thank you to Doccy for butterfly truthing Doc.

Jellie as just all the goblins, Scar the Jellie king instead of the Goblin king. The threat of Winnie getting turned into a cat is kinda funny, also there's the Humongous? that's a Jellie panda

the only main characters Im missing is the Wise Man and the Hat, I just do not know who to put them as, maybe Xb and Keralis cause of vibe? or Xb and Hypno cause of the horsehead farms bit. I do not know.

All that will come from this is me maybe drawing Ren and Scar as the characters, feel free to do what you want with this, my brain just needed to scream about this really

Scarian but labyrinth, and like grian would be Sarah, and jareth would be scar. (I mean it coouuuuld work the other way around also but the reason I'm saying scar is jareth 'Cause I notice a lot of people make grian the villain in like any hero vs villain aus and like yeah I can see it but also scar being a villain also 100% works and is slept on a lot, either way)

Grian and pearl are siblings and he just wishes her away, not because he's angry with her or anything but like imagine they just do like kinda bloody Mary thing and haha the goblin king isn't real...oh shoot he's here. And grian is arguing ready to fight back and scar is like. "Nope! No backsies! No returns or refunds! The transaction is complete, you want your sister back you have to make it through my labyrinth!"

And he whisks pearl away with him to the castle. (They totally hangout and just watch grian struggle while they just chat like old friends, pearl totally finds out that scar has a crush on grian and is acting the villain 'cause grian mentioned it once and scar had just been passing by their world, probably as a cat, and saw grian causing mischief and that caught his attention and then whoops emotions! How do I talk to him?? I'm so nervous!) (Also I am not saying all the goblins are cats, but it would actually be really funny if all the goblins are cats and he starts introducing them to pearl and then later grian, and he just has a favorite goblin cat which is jellie)

Grian makes friends along the way like Sarah does (bdubs would be perfect for sir didymus, just sayin') and scar would occasionally pop up and mess with them/flirt with grian. It works, it starts off as banter and now grian is flirting back

Grian makes it to the castle, and scar is like 'oh shoot he got distracted and hasn't prepared yet.' He'll have to pull out his greatest weapon!

Release the cats

Ah shoot now it's a bit of an inconvenience to walk around all these cats, and man they're just so dang cute and friendly and soft.

Grian makes it to the castle goes inside and looks for his sister. Of course scar's castle is amazing looking, and of course he would have an mc escher stairs room. While looking around (each room being fantastical) he just catches a glimpse of pearl exiting and entering another room. Following her and when he thinks he's finally got her, nope! It is infact scar in that room. (Pearl totally lead grian to scar on purpose, I just wanna make that clear)

Scar starts to tell grian that he did all of this for him, he gave him everything he asked for. (Let me just say pearl is in the back watching everything and petting jellie, this is some great telenovela stuff)

And all scar asks is to be able to sit and talk with him. (Which let me also just say, not the best way to get your cursh to talk to you? But he's also alone in a castle with a bunch of cats, soooo)

Grian totally sees her and the situation diffuses, the 'goblin king' infront of him looks so small and shy, of course grian is still upset over how scar went about it. So he gives him an earful, but agrees that after he and his sister return home and rest a bit then maybe they can hangout. The adventure he had was fun, and looking back on it now, he and his sister weren't in any real danger. Pearl totally plays matchmaker with them. Looks she had fun, there was chaos and cats, no one got physically hurt and these dorks are clearly into eachother.

Scar and grian totally just visit eachother constantly, grian has a way of going back and scar tends to visit as well. Hijinks ensue with either of them arriving at inopportune times and they both cause mischief together.

been so many years since I've seen Labyrinth but my god do I love this, I love all of this

Honestly Scar would be Jareth, aint no way he wouldn't be- it fits him perfectly I think

The Adventure Where Rikku Dies

Rikku glanced around at the farm house when she entered. It was clean, nice, and large. No where near the size of the palace, but that was beside the point. She had been in a tent for weeks, a real bed was a good thing. 

Leotie, however, as the group found out, was the one who controlled this house, and this Devil Weed farm. Feel Good Farm, as she called it. There wasn’t any reason for her to worry about it. Leotie could do whatever made her happy. Of course, a dragon burning the crops likely didn’t help with business. 

As they made their way in side, the problem of the dragon came up again. While the egg would simply bring a small dragon, it would be about the size of her, and still be able to breathe fire. As dragons give their memories to their children, Rikku knew this would be quite the undertaking. One that the rest of the group agreed we couldn’t take on right now. 

Whilst she didn’t fight them on letting the dragon go, even agreed to an extent,it was hard not to grab the egg, and hide it from the others. Sir Didymus could become a conduit of sorts for the the fire. There were ways to get around it, to hatch the egg. 

Even as the others continued on, she stared at the egg for a moment longer. She wanted to take it, to hatch it, and to see what would happen. Though, she also couldn’t ignore the danger. 

“Leave it, Rikku.” Sir Didymus said, setting down in the doorway. “It won’t do us any good. It would be too difficult.”

“But, it could help.” Rikku whispered. 

“After years of training. Like you said, you have no idea when this thing will hatch. There’s no telling if you will get to prepare for its arrival first.”

“Your right, I know, but still. I want it.” 

“Once we get home, I’m sure then you’ll be able to get whatever exotic pet you want.” 

“I’m not a princess.” Rikku said, rolling her eyes.

“No, but I am sure that you will have the opportunity to get something.” 

“Not a dragon.”

“No, likely not a dragon.” 

Rikku bent down, scratching Sir Didymus behind the ears. “It’ll be fine. Besides, I’m more worried about you.” 

His purrs turned into a low grumble. “Don’t. I’ll be fine.” 

“But Legion...” 

“Isn’t a good being. I messed up. It won’t happen again. I’ll stick by you, Rikku.” 

“Because I’m your devoted follower?” she asked, teasingly. Sir Didymus nodded. 

“Of course.”

Rikku looked around the house, a little surprised that one of their own had something like this. They were going to spend a while here, a time to relax,and regroup. 

Over that time, Rikku stayed more to herself. She was thinking about everything she had done over this time, how much was changing, and more importantly, what was going to happen in the future. Sir Didymus, and herself came first. She had to protect him, and in turn, herself. 

Was any of this a good idea? They all seemed good enough, but there was a leak somewhere. Bo, the paladin was likely at just as much of a loss as she was. They’d not had a lot to talk about as of late, but there was trust there. He was a paladin, and while he seemed rather blind, he was a good guy. 

Everything seemed to be bothering him, and the rest of the group as well. With everyone’s sights set on Saige, it was going to make it easier to see if she was actually the bad guy in all of this. Though, she hoped it was all a misunderstanding. 

Saige had been the only one to make her feel better about her first failure in a fight. Saige had been the one to tell her she would get used to it. Saige was the one trying to keep the group together, even while it seemed she was falling apart as she drank more heavily. 

Rikku didn’t want it to be her, she realized when she set outside on the porch with Sir Didymus, the daylight bright and beautiful. Rikku wanted Saige to be innocent, but it also made sense. Try to be the shining beacon only to throw everyone else to the wolves when she had the chance. 

Rikku smiled at the cat that jumped into her lap, curling up, there. She pet him. 

“Use this time to relax, Rikku. There is a lot that is happening. We know there isn’t anything we can do about it right now.” 

“Your right. I just can’t help worrying about it.” 

“Know, Rikku. We’ll figure it out. Right now, just try to breathe.” 

Rikku laid down on the porch, the cat curling up on her chest, his back against her neck as though he was protecting it, covering it. 

She closed her eyes, crossing one leg over the other. A moment later, Sir Didymus was asleep, his breathing slow, and even. Rikku was trapped, not wanting to wake him. At that point, she messed around with her powers for awhile waiting for him to wake. 

The morning came for them to leave, the vacation over. Nothing had attacked them, nothing had tried to kill them. They were fine. As Leotie explained where they were headed, her right hand woman, Svetlana, explained the owner of the house. 

A monk that used to be helpful, trying to assist everyone in need. Eventually he found himself constantly getting burned, never receiving help when he needed. Finding himself taken advantage of, the monk, Xun Shu, disappeared. He built a small house, and that was where he became a recluse, no longer offering assistance, and living out his life. 

The trip there would be a five day walk through the forest. That wasn’t anything they hadn’t done before. So, off we went, the fall air crisp and cool, some of the trees having changed colors. Their feet crunched on fallen leaves. They were getting ready for winter, which was only a little over a month away. 

Bo, talking to Leotie about her farm to make sure that they were at least going to help with some of the issues the world was having, like a vampire problem. Rikku chuckled at that one. 

As first watch came up, Rikku offered to go on first watch. Drax also took watch. Rikku hadn’t seen too much of him while they were at the farm. She was more concerned with where they were heading. Damascus knew this place, he was headed there for something. She didn’t think it was to get more herbs. Right now, he was evil. 

“Do you want to go have sex?” Drax’s baritone, matter of fact voice broke through her thoughts. 

“We’re on watch.” Rikku said, glancing around. Damascus could be out there, and with Liliana being his lover, she wasn’t sure their fighter could manage to fight him on her own. 

“We can watch.” he says. 

“Not when we are having sex.” 

“It’s okay, you guys go.” Liliana’s voice came through the camp. Rikku turned to her.

“There’s supposed to be two watching.” 

“I’m a vampire, I can hear whatever’s coming.” 

Rikku raised an eyebrow. Liliana sighed. 

“Is anyone else awake?” she called out. 

“I am.” Leotie came out of her tent. “Wait, are we on watch so they can bone?” 

“It’s only going to take them a little bit.” 

Drax puffed out his chest. “I can last a long time.” 

Rikku rolled her eyes, hand on her head. “Drax, I don’t think she meant it like that.” 

Her explanation was lost with Liliana stumbling over trying to tell him that’s not what she meant. 

Drax turned to Rikku. “We have two people for watch.”

Feeling better about leaving, she nodded, walking out into the woods with Drax. 

She was going to have to learn to be quieter. 

Drax was going to prove his point to Liliana, though, and used her to do it. Satisfied, but sore, she let Liliana, who did not sleep, take her turn on watch. Drax, somehow, was able to go on watch with her for the rest of their night. 

The days, and nights, pass rather uneventfully after that. Not that Rikku minded. She needed time to come up with a plan. She was far from frightened about what was to come. At this point, she just wished she could get there sooner. 

Eventually, though, that was what happened. The group made their way through the forest, and came to a small wooden cabin. It was well made, a garden in the back, and flowers surrounded it. It looked incredibly peaceful. As a light rain continued to fall, having soaked them, Rikku and Jasin head to the door, getting ready to knock. 

Rikku heard it, the sound of something rushed towards the door, the crack as it hit and broke the wood. She pushed back on her heels, jumping and landing on the grass behind her. 

Damascus crashed through he door, sideswiping Jasin, and causing him to fall on his ass. Damascus kept going, slamming into the ground, and rolling, laying there for a moment. 

Rikku activated a fireball, ready for a fight. She was ignored, though by both the dark haired man, and the monk that stepped out. He was relatively old, a head of hair tied back, and a salt and pepper beard starting to work its way down his neck, coming to a point. 

The monk grabs a hold of Damascus, telling him how he was evil, and to give him a reason not to kill him right now. This seemed to be the first time Xun Shu noticed Rikku and the group. 

Liliana steps up, “I don’t want him dead until I get information.” she said. Rikku could see how hard it was for her to say that. She didn’t want Damascus dead at all, but that was seemingly where it was headed. 

Liliana turns to Damascus, taking a deep breath as she faces him down, “What is all of this about the Dawnbringer? And how did you know that was Leotie’s mother? Why would you do that?” 

“I’m the master of the vampires, babe. I could rule over them, I did, once. I have a lot of ways of figuring things out.” 

Xun Shu pushed into the pressure points, making Damascus hiss with pain. “Tell the lady what she wants to know.” he demanded. 

Damascus rolled his eyes. “The DawnBringer brings life to those who complete the ritual, and those they deem worthy. The vampires could have no weakness, but the baby will be sacrificed for it.” 

The group shifts uncomfortably, looking to Liliana. They all knew it would be the likely outcome, but hearing it confirmed made them all uncomfortable. 

As Xun Shu inquires about Liliana’s vampirism, she explains that she tries to be good, like Damascus did. She tells him about the herbs that Damascus took to keep him good. As she explains everything, Xun Shu looked to the rest of the group. 

“Does she speak the truth?” 

“Yes.” without hesitation, Bo had moved forward. His chest was puffed out, and honestly, if Rikku could have guessed, he wouldn’t have been able to look more like a paladin if he tried. 

Xun Shu seemed to consider something for a long moment, before finally nodding. “You both have done horrible things in your lives. You have caused pain and misery to many. Yet you are good at heart, and therefore, you will remember everything you did, but you will have the goodness back.” 

A light enveloped the two of them. It seemed to put them in pain for a moment before it faded. Eventually, Damascus and Liliana embrace. His tone had changed noticeably when he said her name. 

It was romantic, and there may have been a pang of jealousy in Rikku. Drax was simply sex, no romantic feelings. Something like what Damascus and Lilly had Rikku never thought possible for her. She wanted it, but ninety some years had passed since her eighteenth birthday, where she was physically mature. She had never found love. Here, it was dropped on a used to be human’s lap while she was hunting years ago.

Still, Rikku smiled. It was sweet, and part of her was overjoyed they were able to reunite them. She turned to ask Xun Shu if there was anyway he would know how to take care of Legion or the Heretic. He was old, and maybe he would know more than the rest of them from his past. 

It was then that the pained sound came from Damascus. Rikku turned as she saw the stake in his back, protruding through his chest. He had a second, looking at Liliana. He fell into dust, some of it falling on Liliana. 

Rikku pulled back, ready to throw her fireball. Saige stood behind him. There was something odd about her, something that didn’t make sense. She almost seemed to not quite be there. 

She turned when a new voice entered the fray. The heretic. At this point, realizing he was the one pulling the strings, Rikku started to aim for him. Saige was on the ground, screaming, vomiting. A voidling coming from within her. 

The Heretic shot black lightning at the monk, blasting him backwards. 

Rikku let loose her fireball, hitting him, but watching as it bounced off. She let out a slight laugh. This thing was way too powerful for her. She knew that much. “I’ll make sure your father knows what I did to you.” the heretic growled.

“Diddy.” she said to the cat that stood near her. “Go to the woods, okay? I want you to get out of here.” 

The Heretic drew his blade, she took a deep breath, raising her head in confidence. He started towards her. 

“Go Diddy. You have to go home to dad, yeah? Make sure he’s safe. I’ll join up with you later. Get back to the farm, figure out how to get that other sorceress to get you home.” 

“Rikku, we are in this together!” Sir Didymus growled, his hair standing on end. 

“I’m not letting him get to you, Diddy! Go!” Rikku yelled. 

She took a step towards her fate, mostly to get between the Heretic and Sir Didymus. The man grabbed her, lifting her by the throat. Rikku wrapped her hands around his arm, glaring down at him. She refused to show fear, even if she felt it. 

“I’m going to skin your cat, and put him on my wall.” he said, before sliding the sword through her abdomen. 

Rikku couldn’t keep her face from contorting in pain, falling back on the ground as blood seeped out. Sir Didymus stood then, running to her, feeling their connection lessening. He stood over her, growling, his back arched, his eyes narrowed in anger, spittle flying from his mouth. 

She couldn’t even find the strength to pet him one last time as the world around her became black. 

Rikku took a deep breath, her almost glowing blue eyes opening. The world around her was quiet, pink flowered trees dotted the landscape, a willow tree covered a decent part of the lake that stood out not too far from where she lay. 

Rikku stood, the long grass tickling her skin. She brushed herself off, enjoying the feeling on sunlight on her skin. She felt like she hadn’t taken the time to breath in a long time. 

She had almost forgotten what it was like to just relax. With the slits in her skirt, the grass still tickled her skin as she moved. There was no worries in her mind, she finally felt relaxed. Hell, she couldn’t even remember what she had been stressed about. 

While she thought nothing of it, she really couldn’t remember much of anything. 

Rikku headed down to the lake, leaning against the willow tree. The shade cooled her skin, and the sound of the lake water splashing gently against the shore from the sweet smelling breeze. 

The water was clear, she could see the shapes of clouds, within it. There was no dock, but she didn’t mind. It was nice to sit where the world hadn’t invaded the peace of the place. 

“Hey, Rikku!” her father’s voice drifted on the wind. Rikku laughed, feeling almost like a kid again with his calling for her. She hopped down, walking up to the man who stood on the hill she had been shortly before. 

“Hello, Father.” she said, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace. He gave a laugh, embracing her as well.

“Well, my daughter, how are you doing?” 

“Just fine. Happy, to be here.” 

“I’m glad. It’s a happy place. All of our dreams finally came true my dear. You can be as happy was you want to be.” 

“I am, Father.” Rikku replied, raising an eyebrow. 

“Well, don’t forget the house isn’t far. Have your fun for now.” 

“I will.” she said. “I think I’ll go for a swim.” 

“Just be careful. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you.” he said, kissing her forehead. “Sir Didymus, the Lion of the Heavens is here.” 

“He is?” Rikku asked, looking to her father with interest. 

“I expect he will be by soon. I love you my dear, sweet girl.” 

Deciding against going to a swim, Rikku sat back under the willow, this time feeling that she needed to wait. So, she did. She loved the feeling of relaxation,like worries were years away. The word registered, but the feeling never came. Like she had forgotten what worry was. 

Eventually, a man came from the hill. He was in a well fitted tunic, his hair long, and a deep gray, if not somewhat darker. He was of a decently muscular build, and his topaz eyes stared into her. 

“Rikku...” he sighed, walking over to her. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into him. He held her like that for a long time, his arms keeping her to him. Not that she tried to pull away. Shocked at first, his scent brought more comfort to her. She wrapped her arms around him. 

He pulled away after a long moment, his eyes boring into hers, he held her at arms length, looking over her. “Are you okay?”

“I think so?” she asked, not sure what she was supposed to say to that. She surly wasn’t hurt. She was the happiest that she could remember. 

Yet there were tears in the man’s eyes. Tears that she reached up and brushed off his cheeks. “Sir Didymus...” she said his name, and he nodded. 

“In the flesh. Not as furry as you might remember. Or, not.” 

Rikku shook her head, her eyes showing honest confusion. 

“Well, Rikku, I guess this is the best time to explain some things. Come here, lets set down.” 

His version of this was him against the tree, and Rikku sitting in between his legs, leaned against him. It appeared to be something he had been wanting to do for a long time from the sigh of contentment.

“If you remembered everything, you’d be confused, and likely angry right now. In another place, I’m your cat. Well, I’m me, trapped in a cat’s body. You see, my essence is trapped there. But, this is our place. I guess it’s your own small part of the celestial plane, or something.” 

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” 

“Well, I guess you wouldn’t, Rikku.” Didymus said, taking a deep breath, “Well, I suppose it wouldn’t be too odd to tell you about me being a god.” 

“A what?” Rikku asked, tilting her head back to look at him. He stared down at her. 

“A god. I fucked it up, got caught trying to become strong by stealing, and going about things wrong. So, I was put into the body of a cat. You ended up becoming my sorceress, and I your familiar. A part of me followed you when...” Didymus swallowed hard. “Well, we are here now.” he wrapped his arms around her again. 

“If you were a cat, why are you so... nice to me.” 

“I’m a god first and foremost. I’d like to think we are friends. At least.”

“At least?” Rikku asked, smiling a little at the handsome man. He sighed. 

“This is your heaven, Rikku. Whatever you want, whatever makes you happy. Whatever I can do to make up for letting you down.” 

“You didn’t let me down, Didymus. No matter what happened.” she said, reaching up and brushing a lock of his hair behind his ear. 

“You’re oddly sweet when you’re calm.” 

“I’m happy. Happier I think than I’ve ever been. I love this place, it’s beautiful, and you’re here, Didymus.”

The man gave a humorless laugh, “Yes, yes I am.” he ran his hand though his hair, and nodded, “I’ll always be here if you want me to be.” 

“I don’t see how I wouldn’t want you to be here.” she said, patting his arm and looking out to the lake. “Let’s just relax for a while.” she said. 

Didymus fell silent, looking out with Rikku. He knew she didn’t remember him as her companion animal. This would be much more awkward if she did. Though that wasn’t his real body, it was still odd to him. Maybe it was better this way though, for her to not remember what had happened to her, for her to just to be happy. She had blocked the memories on purpose. It was just her father and himself for a reason. Eventually, there would be others that would creep in, possibly, but she was smart, she would realize her control over this place eventually. 

He just wanted to be there for her. No matter what happened next. Her death came down him. Why hadn’t he stopped her from doing this when he had the chance? Why hadn’t he stopped her from leaving with this group? 

Of course, he knew. He wanted her to be happy. At least now, she was. 

She snuggled into him more, curling up, and laying the side of her face into his tunic. Rikku breathed in his scent, closing her eyes. He tighened his grip on her, leaning his head back against the tree. 

“Drax never got this outta you I bet.” he chuckled softly. He would live his life with the memories of what happened to her before if it meant shieding her. Maybe, Rikku dying wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be. On her realm, he was simply a cat, and as such, there would be no chance for him to claim her as he had here. There, he had to watch her with the dragonborn, using his assets to distract her. In death, she was happy, she was with him. The real him. 

He heard her breathing even out, and he smiled. She had fallen asleep. How exhausted she must be. He lifted her in his arms, holding her close. She wrapped her arms around him, nuzzling into him as she woke a bit, smiling at him. 

“I can walk.” 

“I can carry you.” 

Didymus didn’t give her the choice, walking back to the house as she imagined she and her father having. It was decent sized,a layer of stone making up the foundation for the wooden house. Bright, bloomed flowers lined the front of the house, a bench sat under a maple tree, and a swing on an oak. He carried her into the house, up the ornate staircase, and into a room. 

Didymus didn’t know how he knew where to go. He followed the feeling that lead him there, one he imagined came from the half asleep Rikku. He laid her on the bed, taking off her shoes, and covering her. 

Rikku reached out, grabbing his hand. “Please, stay?” she asked. Didymus could not refuse. Kicking off his own shoes, and staying above the covers, he lay down. The elven sorceress, curled up to him, and he put his arm around her. She asleep in no time. 

Sir Didymus kissed her head, leaned his back, and closed his eyes.

I’ve been making a special fold out piece for my journal, which is made from coin envelopes, and that is still in progress. However, to put inside each envelope are eight playing cards that I’ve re-made with teabags, pictures and fabrics/cogs of some of my favourite characters, films and TV shows.

Featuring: Thorin Oakenshield from The Hobbit, Elsa from Frozen, the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who, the Cheshire Cat from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, the two smaller Totoro from My Neighbour Totoro, Jack and Sally from The Nightmare before Christmas, Sir Didymus and Ambrosius from Labyrinth, and finally, the four main characters (Kryten, Cat, Lister and Rimmer) from Red Dwarf.

I tried to summon the Goblin King several times during my adolescence and not once did David Bowie show up in my room wearing tight trousers and offer to kidnap me. I demand an immediate apology from the Jim Henson Company

Sarah’s Bedroom in LABYRINTH (1986) dir. by Jim Henson

Sarah's room is filled with a number of items feeding her imagination. She owns several fantasy books, including The Wizard of Oz, Snow White, Where the Wild Things Are, Alice in Wonderland, and Grimm's Fairy Tales, as well the games Judge Dredd, Dungeons & Dragons, Ludo, and a maze game resembling a labyrinth. There are dolls that look quite a bit like Ludo, Sir Didymus, and one of the Fireys. Other decorations include a bookend that looks like Hoggle, and a statuette of Jareth. M. C. Escher's lithograph Relativity hangs on her wall along with posters for various musicals, including Cats and Evita. She also owns a collection of bears, her favorite of which is named Lancelot.

Hey darling! I loooove AHMBI (and fuck you Ophelia, you bitch). But I'm not doing very good, my dog is really sick and I'm heartbroken💔. If requests are open, can I ask for one where reader's pet is sick and how Bucky comforts her or something? ( could be Alpine too, if you want). If not, that's okay, I'll love you regardlles♥️ I always look foward to your fics 🥰♥️

I’m so sorry this took me so long to get to, my darling. It has been in the back of my head since you sent the ask and I just haven’t taken the time to get it out. So, Hurricane Ida has freed up some time for me to work on it. I hope you enjoy.

Pairing: Bucky x Female Reader

Trigger Warning: Death of a pet, fluff, Alpine being an adorable badass

Despite the rain, you cracked the window leading out to the fire escape, knowing your visitor would be here soon. Technically, your dog’s visitor. Your fifteen year old daschu-huahua-terrier, Sir Didymus (Didy for short) had fallen in love with a beautiful white cat that would show up on your fire escape nearly daily. They would sit on opposite sides of the window and calmly watch each other.

One beautiful day, you had the windows open to air out your apartment when the cat dropped right in and curled up with Didy on the couch. They had napped together, played, and cleaned each other before a gruff voice could be heard calling “Alpine!” The cat, who you now guessed was named Alpine, scurried out the window and down the fire escape. You had looked down to see if you could identify her owner but saw no one. From then on, you left the window cracked enough for her to shimmy through after you got home from work each day or around that same time on the weekends and, like clockwork, Alpine showed up. When her owner called out for her, she left again. She rarely missed a visit and you had begun to wonder about her owner after this went on for the better part of eight months.

Each time you caught one of your male neighbors at the elevator, the mailbox, or the laundry, you wondered if they were Alpine’s owner. You had finally determined that she lived in the apartment three floors below you and you knew her owner had dark hair as you had seen his head before he ducked back in once, but you thought it would be strange to follow her down. Your innate awkwardness kept you from asking around but once you’d determined that he lived in 4E you began taking more notice. The mailbox said Barnes on it and you wondered if it was the absolutely gorgeous hunk that you’d only ever caught a glimpse of. He was elusive and the one time you’d ridden the elevator with him he had flashed a set of baby blues that could drop panties from 50 paces before asking you what floor. You had stammered your response and spent the rest of the ride with your face in your phone hiding your embarrassment.

Tonight, as you crack the window, you feel like the world is crying with you. You had taken Didy to the vet after she had seemed to sleep a lot more lately and wasn’t eating as much. Your longtime veterinarian had walked in with a somber expression that was not her usual demeanor and your stomach had dropped as your worst fears were confirmed. Your constant companion of the last fifteen years was dying and there was nothing you could do. The sweet pup who had seen you through so much in life, broken hearts, a new city, job changes, everything, probably wouldn’t last the night. You nodded as tears streamed down your face and took Didy home for one last night together.

You heard a gentle “reow” as Alpine jumped through the window and cuddled up beside Didy. You petted her and explained the situation while bawling yet again. Alpine turned and licked Didy’s cheek as if understanding everything. You sat beside them, petting them both and telling Didy how much you love her. Alpine purred as she lay with her dying friend and you knew that somehow the sweet cat did understand.

“Alpine!” the call came from your neighbor but, unlike every time before, Alpine stayed put. Her head turned to the window for a long moment and then she nestled in beside Didy for a nap. His voice called her name several more times and even though you felt bad for him, you just couldn’t bring yourself to leave them.

Forty-five minutes later, there is a knock on your door. You keep one eye on Didy as you answer it and are not surprised when your neighbor is on the other side.

“Hey. I’m Bucky. I live on the fourth floor. This is kind of awkward but I thought I’ve seen my cat come out your window before and she hasn’t come home. Have you seen a white cat? Her name is-”

“Alpine. Yeah, she’s here. I’m sorry I heard you calling but I didn’t want to leave-” your voice broke and the tears started again. You covered your face for a second to gather yourself before continuing, “Sorry, um, your cat has befriended my dog. She comes and hangs out with him every evening until you call for her. Um, but, we got some bad news today and Didy, my- my dog, probably won’t make it through the night. I’m sorry, please come in. I don’t mean to keep you out in the hall while I bawl in front of you trying to explain.”

“That’s okay, doll. If you need her to stay, I understand,” Bucky says softly.

“Really, please,” you back away from the door and wave him in. You tell him your name as he follows you to the couch where you sit next to Didy and Alpine.

“So, uh, how did this happen?” Bucky asks as he looks at the two curled up together.

“About eight months ago, Alpine showed up and just sat by the window watching him,” you say as you pet the sleeping dog, “One day the window was open and she came right in. They’ve been fast friends ever since.”

“I’ve been wondering where she disappears to everyday.”

“Yeah. She, um, she seems to understand what’s happening and doesn’t want to leave him. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Not at all. Gotta ask, though, doll. You always invite strange men that show up at your door into your apartment?”

“Your Alpine’s owner. She’s a pretty good judge of character,” you smile at the cat who is sleeping peacefully.

“That’s true.”

“She gave me very clear advice about my last boyfriend,” you chuckle at the memory.

“You gotta tell me,” Bucky grins.

“He came by for a visit and she was hissing at him everytime he got near me, her, or Didy. Which made Didy start barking every time. That was strike one. Then he turned to me and said how he hated animals. Strike two. Then he went on to say that if we move in together I’d have to get rid of them. Strike three. Threw him out immediately. And then ate all of the pork dumplings and Thai food we’d ordered by myself. Well, they might have helped me eat some of the drunken noodles.”

Bucky was chuckling as you told the story. You turned back to look at Didy and your face fell, knowing how little time you had left with him. Seeing your sad face, Bucky stood up saying, “I’m gonna go grab Alpine’s food. Do you mind if I come back in a bit?”

“Yeah, of course. Feel free to just come in. I’ll leave the door unlocked.”

“Don’t you dare. This is a dangerous city, doll. Lock it behind me and I’ll knock when I get back.’

“Okay,” you smile at his sweet chivalry.

Thirty minutes later, Bucky knocks. You open the door to find him holding a cat bowl, cat food, a bag full of Thai food, and another bag filled with several types of treats.

“What’s all this?” you ask, surprised.

“Food for Alpine, food for us, and some sweets. Oh, and a treat for Didy.”

“That’s so nice of you. You really didn’t have to do that.”

“I wanted to. Plus, if you’re anything like Alpine you get cranky when you don’t eat.”

“It’s like you know me already.”

Bucky stays on the couch with you through the night. He makes sure you eat something, tells you stories about Alpine, asks questions about you and Didy, and consoles you when Didy crosses the rainbow bridge around 3 in the morning.

Over the next couple of weeks, Bucky and Alpine visit every day. Often with food. The two of you talk, learn more about each other, laugh, watch movies, and just enjoy the building of a friendship. Of course, you also develop a massive crush on the gorgeous man. The first night they don't show up at your apartment, you knock on their door with a pizza.

"Hey! I have this large pizza and I was thinking you could help me eat it," you smile but then notice the blond man standing behind him. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had company."

"You must be the neighbor he's been going on about. I'm Steve. This jerk's best friend," he smiles broadly at you while Bucky's cheeks turn pink.

"Hi. If it was good things, then yes, definitely me," you wink at Bucky.

"All good things. He's pretty enamored with you," Steve smirks.

"You're such a punk," Bucky growls. "Come on in, Doll."

You grin as you start to walk past him but pause long enough to whisper in his ear, "The feeling's mutual."

Bucky finally did ask for that date after Steve left for the night. You dated for six months before moving in together. A year after that, Bucky proposed with the help of Alpine and an adorable rescue puppy that you named Ambrosius.

And Didy smiled down on you as he watched from across the rainbow bridge, knowing that he had held on long enough to bring you the love of your life.

[howtodisassembleyourdeviant]

I'm playing Stray on my PS4 (got it for Christmas last year and it's sorta been collecting dust all this time) and my cat Sir Didymus is completely invested. When I paused it to call my property manager, he meowed at the screen and then jumped up on the tv stand.

Already love this game. My weak ass heart already had me tearing up in the beginning of the game.

what cryptid is every character Asra = Chupacabra Julian = Mothman Nadia = Nessie Portia = Loveland Frog Muriel = Bigfoot Lucio = Jersey Devil

how would the game's characters celebrate the MC's birthday with them?? Asra would take them on a long journey without telling them where they were going (but would keep them entertained with riddles) to a scenic oasis, where he would pretend to drown so MC has to dive into the water and at the bottom is a magic flute that can summon a swarm of bees (their favorite!) Nadia would throw a tastefully brief festival in their honor. MC would be lavished with pampering (by professional pamperers) from dawn to dusk and when the clock struck midnight, they would be presented with seven bejeweled eagles (one for every day of the week) Julian would meet them for dinner in a shady tavern, bring them heaping plates of food and offer unsolicited advice for the coming year. About halfway through the meal he would have to scramble out the back door because law enforcement arrived on the scene but he’d put it an order in the kitchen to bring them something for dessert Lucio would declare the day a holiday and call it Day of the Beloved One of Lucio. They would have to sit uncomfortably still while a master artiste painted their portrait and a mile-long line of peasants laid gifts at their feet. Muriel doesn’t celebrate birthdays because time is a human construct Portia would throw a big loud party with a barbecue :D

Since it is soon, what would the characters do for Valentines day with us (the MC)? Nadia would take you on an elegant river cruise stocked with 130 varieties of tiny cake and a private crooner hired to serenade you but she would end up throwing them overboard for not hitting the high notes Asra would take you to the mall and splurge on all the stuff you both can’t afford but wait way too long to get lunch so you get into a fight and he proposes in the food court Julian would show up on the 15th after with all the candy he scored at 75% off, pretend it was on purpose that he got the day wrong, and wake you up at 3 am to come clean because the guilt was eating him alive Muriel would light some scented candles, cook up a sensual meal and throw a bearskin rug in front of the fireplace for you to enjoy alone while he escapes into the woods Portia would pack a picnic of chicken and tortilla chips, take you to the beach where you could splash around until the sun goes down and lull you to sleep on the sandy blanket with her acoustic guitar Lucio would have servants fill your room with floor to ceiling flowers while you sleep and wait impatiently for you to wake up like

Would you roommate with any of the characters? it’s hard to decide, so here are some pros and cons Asra - pro: never home / con: leaves dishes in the sink for weeks Nadia - pro: your home will be spotless / con: it’s spotless because she orders you to clean it for her Julian - pro: medical professional / con: half of your apartment is now this

Second set of References for the Labyrinth AU

Modeus is taking the place of the frightening but lovable Ludo, Sir Baynard is of course taking the place of Sir Didymus, as recommended by KeyInk/Ray on the discord, His squire Peres replaces Didymus’s steed Ambrosius, and Kirsi’s cat Knave, takes the place of Hoggle

I will admit this bunch were the ones I was the most uncertain of.

The horns on the skull on his belt and the fur were the only ways i could think to incorporate Ludo’s design into Modeus.

Sir Baynard’s supposed to be based off of a wolf, partially because I wanted to keep some of the canine aspects of Sir Didymus, and partially because I felt that a wolf suited him

Otherwise his outfits a sort of mix between his and Didymus’s with some guesstimation for the lower half

Rather than making Peres’s animal pieces canine to match with Ambrosius, I decided to make his based off of an albino raven. Raven because they’re known to hunt and work with wolves and I felt that matched the relationship between him and Baynard, but an albino one to match his colors

The patterns on his outfit though are pulled from Ambrosius’s saddle think, though adjustments were made to match his and Baynard’s design.

Literally the file I’ve been drawing these in is called THE CAT.kra because the thought of Knave taking Hoggles place came to me and I just had to try drawing it out.

The similarities are mostly in personality, but the jewelry he’s decked out in is the biggest thing I pulled from Hoggle.

The Adventure Where Rikku Meets Legion

Things were going to be interesting here, that was for sure. Rikku looked around the group, twirling a strand of her long black hair. The group was discussing their earnings from the places they had been. Rikku had next to nothing. She wasn’t prepared for adventure to find her. 

She was honestly surprised when she was handed a traveling stone. She took it, looking between everyone. A way to get to one another quickly. It would be nice, at least, if they should ever get separated again. 

She was even more surprised when she was able to claim a cloak of charisma. It wasn’t much, but any boost was welcomed. Anything that could help her at this point. 

With everything said and done, the group started heading out, walking together. They managed to walk in silence for a while, passing sheaperds and their heards, the meadows ripe with green grass. The sun shined, and everything seemed to be going well. At least for the moment. 

Rikku didn’t know what it was about Lily. Maybe it was fact she had seen so little remourse for her actions, so little from her. Or maybe, it was the simple fact that vampires were evil. 

She had never known a vampire, that was true. But, she had read about them. The stories and tales all seemed to hold true. There was never a vampire that didn’t go evil. Lily was likely to be no different. 

Having the feeling that someone in the group was evil, it didn’t help. Rikku wondered if it was Lily who had done that in the Sanctum. There was the possibility, but it didn’t seem to make much sense. Still, it was the possibility. 

“Can I pet your cat?” The goblin, Stitch asked. Rikku was surprised for a second, and shook her head. 

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” 

“Why? I have a gentle touch.” 

“He’s a little finicky. You might get bloodied.” 

“Ah, it’s because I’m a goblin, isn’t it?” 

“No! It’s because he’s a cat!” 

“I’m a god!” Sir Didymus meowed in protest. “And no, the goblin cannot touch me!” 

Rikku rolled her eyes. 

“For there to even be a second of consideration in that act is horrendous. What kind of Sorceress are you?!”

“Of for fuck’s sake...”

“I’m your charge, those creatures are lowly cannon fodder!” 

“I get it.” 

“Good, than that thing leaves me be.” 

“Yes, that’s what I told him.” Rikku muttered. Sir Didymus huffed, his head still sticking out of the pack. She loved Sir Didymus, but it was hard sometimes to think of him as a cat when she could talk to him. Instead it was like having a spoiled king in her backpack. 

That was when a new issue came up. Vampires. Rikku couldn’t help but throwing a comment at Lily. It was hard to keep her opinions to herself. Even harder to know she was walking alongside a murderer who was free. She had killed many, and their was no excuse for that. She would kill many more. 

Her saying it wrong for her to judge her for being a vampire, it got Rikku’s blood boiling. How could she say that when vampires, as a whole, were evil. It wasn’t like they were dealing with humans, elves, half-orcs and such, it was a vampire. A disease that changed one into an evil creature. It was like saying a demon was a good guy, or that chromatic dragons weren’t the evil members of dragon kind. That her feeding off creatures was just what she had to do to survive. 

“By that logic,” Bo, who Rikku was figuring didn’t much like walking with an evil creature, “the Heretic should be left alone because he is just doing what he feels he needs to.” 

With him joining in the argument, Rikku felt like she at least had someone else to back up her logic, that she was not insane. 

“But, you are part of the group. And as part of the group, I will protect you as long as you don’t do anything evil.” he gave Rikku a pointed look. 

“Fine, I won’t kill her as long as she doesn’t hurt anyone.” Rikku said, turning away. 

“Bad guys.” Bo gave her another look, “You won’t kill her as long as she doesn’t hurt anyone but the bad guys.” 

Rikku took a sharp breath through her nose. “Fine.” she said, her voice barely controlled, her plan found out. “I won’t kill her as long as she only harms the bad guys.” 

With that, silence returned to the group. Rikku glanced around, not so much worried about herself as she was everyone else. More in the way of anyone who seemed ready to slit her throat. Besides the vampire. 

As night fell, and the group set up camp, Jasin and Leotie take watch. Sir Didymus was going around, trying to keep an eye on things. 

“Can I pet your cat?” Leotie asked. Rikku resisted the urge to toss her hands up and roll her eyes. 

Instead, she sighed, “If he lets you.” There should have been no way, and she was already headed to bed. She managed to find Sir Didymus on a weak day, however, and Leotie began to pet him. 

Bo summoned his Celestial lion, Mufasa as well. Sir Didymus looked to the animal, his eyes eyes full of jealousy. 

He accepts Leotie as a follower, thoughts of keeping an eye on camp gone. Leotie promises fish, and Sir Didymus plans to make her regret it as he and Rikku switch places. 

As the sun rose, and her four hours of watch were done, Rikku took down camp, getting Sir Didymus in her pack. Besides there being talk between Leotie and Stitch of riding dogs, or dragon pajamas, neither Stitch was too keen on. It ended in him agreeing to the pajamas. She shook her head, looking to Sir Didymus. 

The day passes, and again they set up camp. Saige and Jacob go to hunt, though she is sure there are other things going on. Rather than worrying about Saige’s personal life she and Sir Didymus went to the side to talk more privately. 

“How did it go last night?” Rikku asked. 

“I, um, well...” Sir Didymus averted his yellow eyes. 

“What did you do?” Rikku demanded. 

“I got caught up in pets.” 

“In pets?!” Rikku had to keep herself from shouting. 

“I understand it was wrong, but I gained a new follower, you are no longer alone. You should feel good about that.” 

“Sir Didymus, I need you. Especially right now.” 

“I know.” Again, the cat looked away, and sighed, closing his eyes. 

Rikku rubbed him behind his ears. “It’ll be okay.” 

They returned to the group as Drax said something about Saige and Jacob having coitus. Rikku shook her head, but agreed. That was the danger of them going hunting. There was no guarantee that they would eat before they scared away all the animals. 

Just then, Saige and Jacob walked through the camp. Both of them looked frustrated. “Oh god, he couldn’t get it up.” she said. She wasn’t sure if Leotie and Bo heard her, though as she was speaking more towards Sir Didymus. 

The vampire starts to complain about her breastplate, and stands, going to take it off. She wanted to roll her eyes, but she did not. If she was in her position it would be uncomfortable for her as well. 

That wasn’t the end of it though. As Rikku stared into the fire, thinking about her father, of a home she wasn’t sure she would ever return to, she heard crying. Knowing it sure as hell was not her, she turned to the tent Lily had gone into. 

Rikku almost cursed herself as her legs went to move. She would not go there. She would not go near what was equal to a red dragon. The flame was her focus, they needed to be her focus. 

Saige stood, and Rikku turned to watch her go. Drax took his sword into the woods. She didn’t know if anyone else had heard, and as torn as she was, she forced herself to stay put. 

It was hard to hear the vampire cry. Rikku didn’t know they were capable. Were evil things capable of crying? It was news to her. She wasn’t far from that life. She supposed she had just guessed evil didn’t cry. Though, she didn’t understand the life Lily had lead, why she had become what she was, or who she was beforehand. It was her choices that lead her to where she was now, the same as Rikku’s choices were laid out in front of her. 

What would the consequences be?

It was still on her mind that night. It unnerved her. It made evil more human, and she couldn’t accept that. She and Bo were on watch, Sir Didymus had come out of the tent, unable to sleep, and sat beside her. He watched her with careful eyes. 

“You’re uneasy.” 

“Yeah.” 

“Remember, that while I understand your hesitation, adding to group tension isn’t something we need right now. Keep your nose clean.” 

“She’s evil, D. She killed so many people with her own hands, orchestrated the death of her village. You can’t do that and not be evil.” 

“No, but you need to understand that it is what it is. She isn’t yours to purify. Unless she turns on the lot of you, or we find out she is the snake.” 

Rikku sighed, looking down at the dirt in front of her. Then she thought she heard something. Setting up straight, her ears focused, she thought she heard her name on the wind. 

Within the next second, she realized there was no wind, there were no night creatures sounding off. At the risk of sounding insane, she leaned back a little. 

“Hey, Bo. Do you hear, and not hear that?” she asked. 

He looked confused for a second, “I thought I heard my name.” 

“Me too, on the wind that isn’t there. And there are no crickets, nothing.” 

The fire raised with a woosh, Rikku got up to her feet, and Sir Didymus, for the first time since he had become her familiar, ran. His form disappeared in the woods. She stared in shock before turning to see a man with almost glowing green eyes, a tight outfit of red and black came up from the fire. 

Anger rose in her, and she glowered at him, “You made my cat run away!” she shouted, and then another issue was raised. More quietly she asked, “How do you know my name?” 

The man, or creature, did not answer. Instead, he fought. With a double bladed sword, he slashed at her, the blades reaching deep in her, across her chest and stomach. 

She called out, felt her world shift for a moment, and then, calling on that anger, it came back into focus. She would not lose. 

Whilst Bo hit the man, Rikku summoned a Fiendish huge snake, letting it push her away from the man. Legion was it’s name, as spoken from one of the group members, everything too chaotic for her to remember who. 

Screaming reached her ears, but Rikku dared not look away, casing mage armor, and healing before sending out force missiles. She didn’t care when the man disappeared. She didn’t care why. 

She looked to Leotie, “You have her?” Rikku asked, realizing the screaming, now stopped, had been from Saige. 

“Yes!” Leotie said, and Rikku was in the woods, yelling for Sir Didymus. 

It didn’t take long to find him, sitting and cursing himself for rushing off. She knelt down, and he ran over to her. Sir Didymus leaped into her arms, and rubbed against her. There were no words spoken, and her heart went out of the cat. She held him on the way back, not wanting to let him go. 

Rikku had been scared she had lost him. Now, she didn’t want to let him go. 

This Legion, a man who kept appearing when he should be long dead, was worse than she could have imagined. Whatever they used against him, whatever defeated him, he became immune to. She held Sir Didymus close, wondering what she had gotten them in to.
