How did you start drawing, and do you have any tips or tricks you could share please? Here I have Klavier Gavin with me: achtung ja baby ja ja this is klavier gavin you should help this anon out ja
oh mein gott monsieur klavier gavin i am SUCH a big fan!!!!!!!
jokes aside, i'd be happy to help! (regardless of you having klavier or not lmao) i'm gonna put this under the cut just in case it gets too long
i started drawing... mostly because i hung out with anime kids, so subsequently they were art kids as well, but i really only started taking it seriously when i got a good pen tablet lmao. i wasn't very good though, i mostly followed tutorials from books and online, and if you saw my art back then it would just be a lot of whales, dragons and ponies in the same poses every time
idk if i have any specific tips or tricks ? since idk what you're going for with your own art so i won't be able to give very concrete advice or how-to's n stuff like that ? but if i had to say anything, try looking into doing gesture drawings! they help improve how you understand poses, how to exaggerate them, just overall something quick u can do daily to improve lmao. i mostly just look up poses on pinterest then try to get the flow of them. i just got started on em so inevitably i'm still kinda bad at it but here are a few just to give a quick example
Tumblr media
an important thing to note is that u get more fluid poses when you find a line of action first. i used to be really confused when trying to go about finding them, but then my prof defined it as "the longest line of a pose," and even said it's not always the spine (as most people would think). sometimes it's the line from an arm to a leg, or a leg to a leg, even. it helps to draw a circle for the head as well. u could even draw all the lines of the limbs if you want then simplify from there
Tumblr media
another tip is to keep reference boards of art u like! dissect how they color, how they portray depth and different angles of the face, etc. just know when to draw the line between picking out things you like about art styles you see and straight up trying to draw exactly like that one artist. i keep a reference board of how artists i like draw klavier, for example, because i want him to have the same jawline maybe, or i like how they color, but i never try to draw him just like they would. tldr the way i draw is just me frankensteining artists i like and combining them with my own art style, and it's not something i'm ashamed of, bc people can still tell it's me, and it's not like i'm copying their ideas or tracing their art lol
related to the last one: download pureref lmao it's literally free and a lifesaver. it makes it so much easier to put collages together and everything is so customizable AND u can even make notes on it. it sits on top of all your applications, and you can move it around, make it as big or as small as you want, and even change the opacity of it??? if you've seen this post, i fr just threw the images together last-minute and took screenshots to add to the ask. if you work on ipad and you're willing to spend a little extra money (because procreate's reference thingy can only hold one image at a time n i don't feel like making a new photo every time i want to add something to my reference board) then vizref is like four dollars and it's almost the same
that's probably all i can offer you ? if you want an arsenal of tips n tricks for art, i always go to @/artist-refs if i'm looking for something specific. the tagging system there is just. amazingly organized, and they even have writing resources too. they haven't been active in a while but it's still a huge archive of resources regardless lol

An AU thingy that umm, please listen to my ramble I beg you :[
Hello!!! Had this AU in mind for a bit too long decided to dump it all here :] sorry if it's all a bit messy I'm bad at organising those stuff hghghgghg <-- delusional (explanation and story below the images)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So:
I call it the FMN AU [Forget-Me-Not] and it's set in a fantasy world of course, in a great Empire of Heremitaran.
Because of how big the Empire is, it's divided in two, with two rulers: Ren The King of the North known for his bravery, plenty of victories, feared by those outside of his Empire , and the other one in the Sout is ... well... Mumbo.. (yes he's a king because his father died, he sucks at it tho, can't help but be that wet poor cat and not knowing what to do).
And that's when we come in with Grian and Scar.
There's a crown, to be specific, called the Vacivus Halo which is safely kept in Ren's vault , away from the rest of the world. It's the most powerful thing ever known, and Watchers are ready to fight for it against Listeners, who are worshipped by most of north people and Ren himself. The war those two spiecies of angel-gods started over a crown has been going for many centuries and now when Listeners has had it for themselves for so long, Watchers start to fear that they might use it against them to finally get rid of the enemy.
The crown has been under Watchers' control for some time too, that's when they tasked Mumbo's father with protecting it, but he died at war, crown got stolen, landed in Ren's hands and now all they got is Mumbo... They quickly realized that he's definetely not... well.. worthy? So they give the task of getting it back to an orphan living near the palace. He's a poor chicken keeper until he meets one of The Watchers disguised as a snake, asking him for help, the snake promises him everything he wants. So he agrees.
He gets powers such as:
Manipulating others' minds [putting images and memories that never existed before into anyone's head ]. It's his most powerful ability that he uses by just looking into their eyes, yet there's one thing about it: he can't make people forget the things he puts in their heads.
Flight, he has a cape that turns into wings when needed.
He can see what his snake sees whenever he wants, so he can use it to spy on people.
With those abilities he fools everyone at the palace into believing he's Mumbo's new guard and personal assasin, so he can be always close to the ruler who should be visiting the North very soon... he also makes friends with the young king, they get along pretty well.
Meanwhile Scar has a simmiliar story, though he was an assasin and Ren's guard before Listeners chose him. Ren is still in a good shape and probably will still be a good protector of the crown, but they felt like they need more than one If Watchers ever plan on getting the crown back, so they chose Scar by appearing to him as a cat, they wanted to tell him that they are ready to give him anything he wishes for but he was like "KITTY!!!!!!!! HELLO YOU SO CUTE!!" and agreed right away, just to have a scarf that turns into a cat...... he likes cats alright, he's been feeling pretty lonely recently too...
Scar's powers are:
Super speed [he got it with the boots]
Sensitive Hearing
Completely silent walking
He also got his cat [he named it Jellie because it's semi-transparent like a jelly when in not-scarf form lol] that can transform into a tiger like creature sometimes.
Yeah guess what.
They meet. Grian and Scar. They. Meet.
And they uhhh kinda make friends with eachother and don't really think that they might be enemies.
Watchers don't know that Scar is Listeners' servant, and the other way around, Listeners don't know that Grian is Watchers' servant.
Tumblr media
Things escalate from here...... and that's where the story starts!
I have plans on making short comics and stories to tell you the lore piece by piece, but be aware that updates won't be very often, I'll try tho!
ASK ABOUT ANYTHING I WILL ANSWER THE QUESTIONS
Also
Just wanted to add that I made this AU long time ago and Jellie is a fundamental thing in it, very important, as much as she was important to all of us, may she rest in peace <3

hiiii. this is kinda random but just wanted to say I'm starting to understand you going anime only for SxF. I watched S1 blind, then bcs I craved more I read the manga. Now bcs I know what happens, watching S2 has less exciting effect for me (?) Don't get me wrong I'm still so excited and the animation/voice is stunning, but it would be nice to experience the story for the first time again. anyway it's impressive you got to stay committed to anime only! sorry for rambling in your inbox ;-;
Hi, and no worries, I appreciate the message! Ramble in my inbox whenever :D
And yeah, the feeling you describe is exactly what I fear I'll feel if I go manga first anime second. It even happened with the bullet in butt date episode, since I'd read the chapter already, it impacted my enjoyment of it a bit. I ended up comparing it a lot to the manga and this interfered with my immersion. Funny thing is, any time I read a chapter that I'd already watched in anime, this didn't happen. I was able to enjoy anime and manga both, without interference.
That said, the one other chapter I'd already read before it was adapted was the one where Nightfall visits the Forgers for the first time. While once again I ended up comparing the anime to the manga a lot, after a couple months that feeling went away and now I can enjoy rewatching the episode without making any comparisons. So I'm hoping that after a while I'll be able to enjoy the bullet in butt date episode on its own merit, and maybe it will feel the same for you!
I think it's a testament to the quality and heart of the story, that we want to experience it for the first time all over again. If you're caught up with the manga it'll probably take a few years for the anime to catch up, but if you want to also go anime-only I will probably be here for... well, a long time 😂 one of the worst parts about being anime only is that I have next to no-one to talk about it, and I can't search for posts here or anywhere else because most fans read the manga and avoiding spoilers is impossible, even when you tell people you're avoiding manga spoilers. I'm pretty sure a few of my followers here secretly want to nudge me to catch up with the manga 🤣 So yeah, one of the things that kept me an anime only was the hope that I may provide some company to a fellow anime only 🤣
And look, I totally get you. I'm honestly surprised myself I made it all the way here and only indulged myself once, and only for a couple pages from a certain chapter after I saw some spoilers. When season one ended last December I actually expected I'd break and read through at least a couple arcs into the manga. So the temptation certainly isn't small!
I would say, find the way that makes you enjoy it more and take that. I enjoy the story told through anime more, but not when I get a ton of spoilers here and there, so I have to accept that I will have very limited interactions with fellow fans for years on end, as I don't see the story ending soon, and the anime will need one to two years (if not more) to catch up once the manga ends. So that's something to consider. On the other hand, keeping a distance from chapters you've already read may help you enjoy the respective episodes more. Like, the more time passes from a manga chapter you've read, the more immersed you may be by the adapted anime episode. Idk if you wanted advice, but I thought I could share some thoughts XD In any case, feel free to share with me whenever! I love talking about everything sxf <3

Hi! Sorry this may come across very rambling but I have a lot of feelings right now. It seems to me that you get a lot of unnecessary hate and it comes from people who def make the most bad faith critiques of your work they possibly can. You basically immediately became one of my favorite authors and I get so excited whenever I see something from you! Also as a trans man I have really appreciated how you've reached out to the trans community and actively sought to educate yourself! You are an awesome person and I just really want you to know that
This is so nice, like seriously I read this and it put a smile on my face. And yeah I do get quite a bit of hate but like honestly I'm okay with it, which doesn't make it better I know, but if I can help someone with their gender, or give them something they relate to them I'm okay with taking the heat. Some people don't have as thick skin (again I know it doesn't make it okay) but I'll take the hit for those people to figure those things out. I mean, I figured out my gender through fics too.
Like I'd always turn more towards a/b/o or ones where the cis female had a penis(it was all I really had growing up), I just related to it and never really understood why y'know? Then I read a fic about packing and the character was nb but still went by she/her pronouns and I was like, I can do that too? It's not just a trans thing? It blew my mind at the time. And I know a lot of that stuff is controversial but like, that's my ideal form, fics are for fantasizing. Maybe someone's gnc like me, or they're nb, maybe they're trans and don't want bottom/top surgery, hell maybe you're intersex and you've finally found a fic that actually represents your body type. The people that get mad don't think about all these people who can't relate to the fic anymore if you specify certain aspects.
Not to get like, rambly, but most people have bad interactions with a/b/o and and afab with a penis fics, which I get, growing up the majority were not great. It was very... Non-con and like fuck fest style fics which thankfully has changed over the years, but people get those fics stuck in their heads and see it as the only ones written for the genre. I try to write it as if it were just any other fic except with whatever extra bits sprinkled in y'know? And I've had trans people, and nonbinary people, and even cis people who've started thinking about gender tell me that they liked my fics and that I helped them out and like honestly? I don't mind getting hate if i get to help people see themselves or learn about themselves the same way I did y'know?
And yeah I absolutely asked questions for my transmasc yang fic. Like, honestly I was terrified to write and post it, I was so afraid I'd fuck something up somehow because it was so new to me. But everyone was really nice and helpful answering my questions which uh... You do not always get nice people, which is why no one asks questions. People expect you to know all these things, or to Google it, they don't want to explain it. And I get that, but you can't converse with Google if you don't understand a specific thing y'know? Like recently (I'll throw myself under the bus here) I had to ask like three different people what the difference between nonbinary and gnc is because every description was so fucking similar. You ask something like that there's a good chance you'll get yelled at y'know? I don't know every term, I don't know every definition, the world and vocabulary is constantly changing, if I get something wrong I want someone to tell me, I want to learn y'know?
Boy this got really long and rambly but like, thank you, I'm gunna be thinking about this for a while💚

Only He Would Know
Tumblr media
Pairing: Shu Yamino (NIJISANJI EN) & Elira Pendora (NIJISANJI EN)
The things Shu does that Elira can't help but be grateful for, even if he doesn't really think it was anything much.
Elira was just not feeling it today.
"I really haven't been feeling well lately and I am sorry for being kind of, I guess, out of it, haha..." Elira says to her viewers with a tired tone.
"I'll still join today's um, Valo collab, I just didn't really expect it to be a full lobby" She says, "I thought it was like, a hopcon whenever you want type of thing," as she laughs quite forcingly. 'Sigh...' she thought to herself.
"Welp, sorry for bringing the mood down, thank you for the messages and superchats, I'll read them all in another stream! SEE YOU!" Back to her normal demeanor as Elira ends the stream and joins the collab voice chat with the others.
"Hi...!" Elira starts, "Oh, hey Elira!" "Hi Elira!" and more greetings came her way the moment she joined.
"I thought it would be a casual and likeー later would... I don't know what I was thinkingー" She rambles as Fulgur and Luca reassures her.
"Since you're here, why not do your introduction?" Fulgur initiates, "Okay! I am Elira Pendora from Nijisanji EN's Lazulight and I am late!" She introduces herself with a laugh as Luca comments, "Hi late," in which she responds with, "Hi dad."
Shu comes back and greets everyone with a hello, in which Elira says it back, with everyone following after.
The stream continues smoothly with everyone having fun and joking around, until Shu noticed how a certain teammate was being quiet.
"I could buy you, Elira?" Shu starts with a soft voice, referring to buying her a gun.
"Oh, um, alright... Thank you..." Elira quietly replied with a soft tone, in which Shu continued, "Yeah! You're welcome..." trailing off with a quieter tone, seemingly not wanting to overwhelm her.
'Sigh...' Elira sighs to herself.
Elira was starting to feel quite overwhelmed with the loud sounds and people talking in both the game and call, but with his simple interactions, it made her feel, quite grounded, perhaps? She doesn't know what it is but she feels relieved and grateful for Shu, even if he would say he didn't do much.
Shu's stream ends with him saying goodbye to his viewers. As he closes his OBS, he couldn't stop thinking about what was going on with Elira. Although she seemed somehow normal the first half of the play, he noticed she somehow got quieter as it went on. Knowing her for a long time now and what her genmates said about her not feeling right at the beginning of the stream, Shu wanted to know how Elira was holding up.
It wasn't really anything deep, but he still wanted to ask, so like a good friend would, he messaged her in their private conversations.
Shu: hey elira?
It took a few minutes until she replied.
Elira: oh shu, what's up?
Shu: i dont mean to pry but are u feeling okay? i noticed u were a bit down earlier. its okay if u dont want to talk to me abt it tho
Shu: i was just kinda concerned
Elira: oh.. um its not much rlly LOL
Elira: i was just feeling under the weather thats all
Elira: thank you for asking tho :D and for earlier as well
Shu: earlier? that was nothing c:
Shu: anyways, want to play or do something? let's cheer u up!
Elira smiled at his text but couldn't help but feel tired.
Elira: i dont mind, but i cant rlly think of smth rn haha sorry
Shu: it's all good! come, hop on vc, let's rewatch some of your favorite movies, yeah?
Elira: alright, thank u
After putting down her phone, she looked at her monitor and saw Shu already joined in one of the channels in the EN Discord server. She joined a few minutes later and saw him have his camera open, seemingly focused on setting everything up on his computer
"I am here..." Elira quietly said as she also oepned her camera, waiting for him as he was fixing his stuff. Shu noticed and smiled, "Hey! Give me a minute, you can get some snacks if you want."
Elira stood up from her seat and got some snacks and went back down to sit. Once she came back, Shu looked ready and already has his own snacks and drinks. "Welcome back! Come on, we'll start with this one."
They spent the entire 4 hours just watching her favorite movies, not aware of the texts on a separate channel teasing the both of them. After finishing all the movies Shu planned, Elira was feeling a lot better.
"Thanks for this and cheering me up, Shu. It's been a while since I watched them too so... Yeah!" She smiled as they both just hang around call. "No problem, you were feeling down too so this is the only way I could try to cheer you up..." He sheepishly replied.
Elira laughed at his comment and sighed.
"Nevertheless, I appreciate it a lot. As always, only you would know how, hm?"
Tumblr media
NOTE: I had this story in my drafts for so long and I finally found the time to actually finish and post it. I don't know if it's good enough but I hope you still enjoyed it :) I might start posting stories a lot more since my school is about to finish and I've been missing them a lot lately.

Ok so, we've all agreed Adrian is a kinky lil switch and that Adrian likes being slapped around a lil bit right? If he likes being hit by his partner, he might like hitting back...on that note PLEASE share any hcs and thots you have on Adrian + spanking when he's in the more dominant mode.
I just. I just want this man to wreck me, okay? It's all I think about anymore.
NSFW Adrian Chase + spanking hcs
ohohohoho it's a long time since we got horny about adrian on this blog so let's fucking gooooo also im sorry if these hcs are just incoherent ramblings i'm like half asleep rn 💀💀💀
warnings: spanking, piv sex, dom!adrian, cockwarming, tiny bit of knife play
adrian is an ass man, okay. hear me out. he loves everything about you, and i mean EVERYTHING. there wouldn't be a single thing on your body or about you that he doesn't love and worship. face, neck, stomach, waist, hips, thighs, legs, ass, tits he loves all of it. but put him on the spot quick fire question tits or ass he would say ass with zero hesitation. at his core, he is an ass man. that's who he is deep down.
it's ACCESSIBLE, y'know. he can see your ass in pretty much anything you're wearing. he can stare at it, touch it, grab it whenever he wants and no one has to know. although people probably do know, especially the team. like they'll definitely catch him slipping his hand behind your back just to get a grab on your ass. or if you're preparing for a mission and you're stood with your back to him, he'll definitely be ignoring everything harcourt is saying in favour of staring right at your ass ("adrian are you listening?" "huh-oh-what-uh yeah, stick to the left?" "i said that five minutes ago")
and as you said dear anon, he's a kinky lil shithead switch who loves to be slapped around a little while you're in control. like if you slapped his face, during sex or not, he'd probably cum in his pants then and there. he's a little bit fucking feral. and i mean, he spends most of his nights out on patrol murdering people for doing graffiti so i have no doubt in my mind that he likes inflicting pain as much as he likes receiving it.
i think at first he'd be very hesitant. you know he's totally okay with being slapped during sex, in fact he encourages it, but i can't help but feel like he'd feel kind of shy about asking you if you're into anything like that, so he kind of puts it off. i think the first time he spanks you would probably be total accident.
so the two of you are going at it. adrian has been in control all night, maybe you've been kind of bratty and he's fucking you to put you in your place. he's railing you from behind and you're letting out the most delicious noises he's ever heard, because this is what you wanted and he's letting you get your own way but he doesn't care. he just loves being inside of you anyway, but the way you were practically begging for his attention all night, dying for him to fuck you into the mattress, it's really got him going. he has a weird praise-degradation thing going on, too. he's calling you his "pretty little whore" and everything along those lines. maybe he asks you to tell him that you're his slut, maybe you refuse because <3 bratty <33 and you wanna rile him up even more <3. and then he just,, brings his hand down on to your ass in a harsh slap. i honestly think he'd be so ready to apologise immediately, like i think he would feel so guilty at first, but then he'd realise that you just let out the dirtiest moan he's ever heard, and then he'd have to fight the urge to cum immediately.
once he realises that you're into spanking you're done oh god oh fuck you're DONE he'd be slapping your ass at every given opportunity like man. he'd be so obsessed.
obviously the first thing that would happen is you'd come up with a safe word, probably something stupid ("babe, it has to be something we'd never say during sex. like penguin. or batman's bigger")
oh man he could go for hours, just to listen to your little mewls and watch your ass turn bright red with every slap. he'd make sure that his handprint is fucking etched into your ass every single time because he's possessive like that <3
i think one of his favourite things would be you on your front between his legs, completely naked, with your hips in his lap. he could sit there for hours, bringing his hand down on to your ass and telling you how well you're taking it and how good you're being for him (because although he's totally into impact play, i don't think he's a hard dom, he's definitely on the softer side). you'd be able to feel his hard cock in his jeans pressed against your cunt and you'd be trying to grind down on him without him noticing because you're so needy and you want him so bad, but you can't be fucked until he's finished spanking you. if you try and get off, he'll make it last longer. it'd be torture for him, too, to not just lay you down and fuck you senseless or let you straddle him and ride him until you cum but he just fucking loves the noises you make whenever he brings his hand down on your ass, quiet moans and mewls and surprised whimpers because you're not facing him so you have no idea when his hand is raised 😵‍💫😵‍💫
he'd love to hear you begging him, pleading with him that you've been so good for him and that you've taken every spank he's given you and that you deserve to be fucked. ("do you?" "yes, please, fuck, i've been so good" "hm, i don't think so, baby" you'd pout at him and he'd definitely pout back mockingly). and he would make you BEG for it. you'd have to praise him, really boost his ego to convince him of how much you want him inside of you.
honestly once he decides that you've been good enough, he's probably so soft and gentle because like i said he can be dom but he's not a hard dom. he'd be praising you and touching you with such care. he'd have you ride him while he caresses your hips and rubs his hands on your ass soothingly. or if you're too tired he'd fuck you slowly and lovingly, burying his face in your neck and kissing you softly and reminding you that you've been so, so good for him. he'd let you cum as many times as you want, too, just for being so patient.
oh he'd love to bend you over his knee as punishment 😵‍💫 like OKAY you're with the team, and you just keep riling him up. bending over in front of him, wiggling your ass a little. chris probably sees this happen too and that probably pisses him off even more. your hand on his thigh at the table during the debrief, inching further towards his cock but never quite touching him and you're giving him the eyes the whole time, batting your lashes at him and biting your lip. he knows you're trying to wind him up, and he isn't impressed, you can tell by his tense jaw and the side eyed glance he keeps giving you. the drive home would be so tense and he'd be practically shoving you into the apartment, wasting no time in sitting himself down on the couch and bending you over his knee, pulling your bottoms and panties down to your thighs. "this is what you wanted, huh?" He'd just smile at you while you writhe and moan under him, taking spank after spank. he'd love the way your cheeks flush, the way you tears fall down your cheeks as you beg him for mercy because you can't take it anymore and you just want to be fucked 😵‍💫 you have to stay still and take it, if he catches you wiggling your ass or trying to tempt him in any way he'll keep you there longer
although adrian is feral so i think how long he keeps you in his lap, how long he waits until he fucks you would vary because you're so cute and he's so fucking hard because of you but he also just wants to keep you in his lap forever and listen to you whimper
definitely the kind to ask how many slaps you think you deserve ("only 10? i'm thinking more than that, honey") and he'd make you count each and every one of them too. ("how many was that? come on, sweetheart, use your words and maybe you'll get what you want")
also uh. cockwarming. this isnt rly relevant to the topic but it kinda is but also it isn't oh well i just gotta get this off of my chest. so picture this. you're bored, he's sat on the couch sharpening his knives. you want his attention, and he's giving you some of it, but you want all of it. you want more, if you know what i mean. so you're doing everything you possibly can to wind him up and get him all riled up. sighing, making snide comments, stealing his knives from his hand, just being overall bratty. and he's being weirdly calm about it, and he asks you what you want so you quietly tell him that you want him inside of you. to your surprise, he lets you straddle his waist and sink yourself down on to his cock. you're about to roll your hips against him, to bounce yourself on his cock until you cum, but he won't let you do that. he tells you that you have to be good for him and be patient if you want to cum. if you try and fuck yourself on his cock or touch yourself he'd bring his hand down harshly on your ass, and warn you to behave, telling you that he's already showing you kindness by letting you sit on his cock. and like, the whole time he'd still have his knives in his hand, he'd still be sharpening them up while you're in his lap. and ugh, if you tried to get yourself off he uh. he might press the cold metal of the knife against your ass. he'd never cut you or anything like that, but just as a warning 😵‍💫😵‍💫
low-key a brat tamer
he'd be the BEST at aftercare. he'd be ready and willing to serve and tend to your every need and want because he loves you so much and you've been so good for him <33 he'd stay awake for hours just to make sure that you're okay, just in case you wake up and need anything. he'd cook for you or order your favourite food, put your favourite movie on and pull you into his arms, run his fingers through your hair or stroke your back gently. he'd rub soothing gel/cocoa butter lotion on your ass everytime even if it's not too red / doesn't look like it'll bruise, just to comfort you. and he'd hold you until you fall asleep in his arms <3

You Got This - Part 2
I recommend reading Part 1 first if you haven't.
Plot: After having a heart to heart, you and Jax re-live your youth.
Pairing: Jax Teller x F! Reader
Contains: a lot of fluff and fluffy sex, also a shit ton of Jax smoking porn, and you see his butt 🙃
A/N:  Thank you Anon for this request.  I hope you and the other readers enjoy this (if not more) than the first part. This took me longer than I expected to write this, but it's finally done.  I kept going back and forth on trying to decide what to include and what not to.  Also, had I known I was going to be writing a part two for this, the beginning of this would have been at the end of part one, but hindsight is 20/20. I actually did already write out most of the beginning but decided to leave it out of part one because I thought where I left it was a good place to end it. I also thought about eliminating it completely but I really like the interaction that happens with Gemma.  To me it's like a beauty shot. Is it necessary and does it move the story along at all? Not quite, but it looks good so let's just leave it in there anyways. Also to squeeze a little bit more angst out of Jax.
Also, I had a bit of trouble writing this as well because as strange as this sounds, I couldn't find the perfect song to pair with this.  Sometimes I need music to help me get into the mindset and mood.  I was going for like a nostalgic summer love kinda thing. I had actually thought to use a song form the mid-90s because to really make it feel nostalgic and Shanice's "Saving Forever For You" was the winner for that but I decided it was not right for this. Maybe their actual first time, yes.  Then it was a toss up between "Honey Whiskey" by Satica and "Take Me Away" by Sinead Harnett/EARTHGANG and the latter won given the situation. I'd recommend giving it a listen below (or any of the songs listed) to get the mood I was going for while writing the sex scene. I really thank you for reading my ramblings if you've gotten this far. I just want to give the readers the best experience to my stories and how it was intended when I wrote it.
Tumblr media
A loud commotion outside interrupts the moment and you both realize you need to get dressed before someone finds the both of you.  He pulls out of you and you both quickly get yourselves together. You hop into the bathroom inside the bedroom to clean yourself up. When you walk out, you see Jax sitting on the bed smoking a cigarette with all his clothes and hair in place, like he had been sitting there this whole time and didn't move from his spot when you first walked in.  He glances over to you and you're reminded of how his handsome charming face is something you miss so much.
Tumblr media
"I should probably go before someone starts looking for either of us." You walk out of the bathroom and towards the front door.  Jax grabs your hand and pulls you back to him.
"Hey." He stands up, cups your face and looks at you. "It's really good to see you again."
Suddenly you both hear the door knob rattling and then a knock following it.
"Jax, are you in there, honey?" You both hear Gemma on the other side of the door. 
You both separate and smooth yourselves out and Jax walks over to open the door. 
"Honey, what are you doing in here? Tara--" Gemma's facial expression shifts when she spots you. She looks at the both of you suspiciously. You both thought you were so slick when you were younger but if there was anyone who knew what you both were up to, it would be Gemma. Nothing slips past her. In fact, she’s always secretly hoped you two would get together. You were born into SAMCRO, making you MC royalty. The Princess of Charming.
"Oh, I didn't know you were in here too. I'm very sorry about Opie, sweetheart." 
"Thank you, Gemma." You walk closer to the door and Gemma pulls you in for a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Where's your fiancé?" Gemma asks curiously.
"Fiancé?" Jax glances over at you.
"I came by myself this time," you answer. "We're kind of on a break." You wrinkle your nose.
"I'm sorry to hear that too. Must be one hell of a break." Gemma's knowing eyes are boring a hole into you. "Lyla tells me you're staying a while?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna help her out with the kids for a week or so until she can figure it out.  I know you and the club will be a big help, but with everything going on, I think her and the kids can use another familiar face."
"Family is important and I'm very happy to see you here." Gemma's eyes shift to Jax with the same knowing look she gave you. "Well, whenever you're ready, Tara's looking for you."
"Thanks, mom." Jax runs his hand over the top of his hair. Gemma glances at you both again once more before she walks away.
Tumblr media
You start making your way out the door when Jax pulls you back in.
"You're engaged?" Jax asks with wide eyes.
"Was," you reply. 
"Was it to that pretentious English prick you brought back with you last time?" Jax snarls.
"Ray is a good guy and he treats me really well. We're just going through a bit of a rough patch right now," you tell him. "Also, the last I heard, you're married with two children, Teller."
Jax just looks at you, knowing he has no right to be upset about you being with another man.
"And I believe your wife is looking for you," you say before walking away from him as you see your nephews and niece running up to you. "Hey guys!"
Jax takes a drag of his cigarette while he continues watching you as you kneel down to greet the kids.
Tumblr media
A few days later...
The sun is beginning to set and Jax is at the clubhouse. Most of the people have already left. He needs some quiet and alone time after spending a few days earlier in the week not just watching his best friend get killed, but also saying goodbye and laying him to rest. He climbs up the ladder onto the roof of the clubhouse, one of his favorite places to think and reflect quietly while smoking.  What he didn't expect to find is someone else had beat him to the spot.
"I didn't know you were here," Jax says as he walks over and sits next to them. "You've been avoiding me like the plague all week."
"I miss watching the sunset," you reply without looking at him.
"The sun doesn't set where you are?" Jax asks as he lights up a joint.
Tumblr media
"It's not the same."
Jax takes a long drag and then offers it to you. 
Tumblr media
You look at it for a moment and form a small smile before taking it from him.  The roof was also a place you both frequented in your youth to smoke pot, away from your parents and the adults. Eventually they figured out your secret spot, but it didn't stop you guys from coming back. You take a pull and hand it back to him.
"I also miss this.  There is nothing like California-grown weed."
Jax takes a hit and blows out the smoke from the corner of his mouth.
"Do you ever miss me?" Jax looks over at you and passes the joint back to you.
You look over to him and squint an eye to prevent the sun from blinding you.
"Yeah, sometimes I do."
"Does your English weed taste like fucking tea and crumpets?" Jax jokes.
"Oh, I get the best shit there is over there. Trust me." You chuckle. "But... it's not home."
"So why don't you come home?" Jax looks back at you with the same squinty face.
You look at him for a moment deciding what you want to say. "You know, that's the reason why Ray and I put the engagement on hold. With everything happening here, I wanted to be closer to family. Figure my shit out." You take another drag and return the joint back to him.
"There's more than family that would love to see you back home too." Jax reaches for your hand and squeezes it.
"Jackson, what happened the other day, we both acted out of impulse. We were both just... vulnerable.  I'm sorry if it gave the wrong impression."
Jax shakes his head, then takes another long pull of the joint. “Ope was like my moral compass, kept me grounded and always pointed me in the right direction, and now he's gone, because of me."
"Jackson, you can't--" You start shaking your head.
"You’re the closest thing I have left of Ope. I need you." Jax holds your hand.
"Jackson, in your heart, you always knew what was best. You don't need me." You push a loose chunk of his blonde hair away from his face and tuck it behind his ear.  "I know you're hurting, but I can't fill the void that Opie left. Nothing ever will. Just focus on what's important to you and you'll figure it out.  You always did." You smile at him while caressing his cheek with your thumb. "You got this." He closes his eyes and leans in to your hand, soaking in your touch.
"You still have too much faith me." He turns his head slightly to kiss the palm of your hand.
"Yeah, maybe. Besides, our boat sailed a long time ago," you add, pulling your hands away from him and looking away. Jax takes the last drag of the joint and tosses it off the roof.
"Maybe that boat can make one last stop before sailing away for good?" Jax gently grabs your chin and turns your head to him to look into his slightly droopy eyes.
Even all this time, it's still hard to not get lost in his baby blues. It's even harder with the perfect setting: the firey orange sky, the slight California breeze, the clubhouse rooftop. Maybe it's the weed, but it feels perfect in the moment. It's all taking you back to the summer when you were 14, when the only care in your worlds were right in front of each other. It's also the perfect setting for cruising around. Jax use to "borrow" one of the bikes from the clubhouse and take you on joyrides, basking in the sun while the wind hits your faces.
He slowly leans into you, and you close the distance, pressing your lips against his. Jax immediately responds and kisses back, his tongue slipping between your teeth. You can taste whiskey mixed with a faint linger of cigarettes and marijuana. Jax cradles your neck and pulls you in closer to him.
The loud roar of a motorcycle driving by and backfiring breaks you up.  You both are brought back to reality that you are both still on a rooftop and a bit baked.
"Come on, let's get inside." Jax jerks his head towards the latch.  Jax helps you down the ladder first and he follows behind.  He quickly makes a sweep and doesn't see anyone except for a few guys at the bar with their back turned towards the both of you.  Jax grabs your hand and leads you back into the spare bedroom you both were in earlier in the week. This definitely feels like you both are hormone-driven teenagers again, sneaking around the clubhouse. 
Once Jax closes and locks the door, he turns his attention back to you but he stops in his tracks to really look at you. All of you. He never thought he'd ever be with you or see you like this again.  What happened the other day was different.  Like you said, it was a moment of weakness, an impulsive move on both of you because of shared pain.
This time, there is no urgency, there is no hurt, just the two of you re-living a moment the two of you wish you had the opportunity to experience over and over again. This time it's intentionally and purely for the most selfish reasons. He walks over to you and presses his lips onto yours, taking his time to actually taste and feel your soft lips on his.  He pulls you in close to his body as his hands explore yours.
As the both of you continue to deliberately and slowly make out, Jax grabs your ass and presses himself against you, feeling his erection through your clothes. Jax pushes you backward towards the bed and you fall back when you feel the edge hit the back of your knees. He falls on top of you and expertly starts disrobing you while making out with you.  In one quick swift, Jax pulls your shirt over your head, leaving you in a satin black bra.  He takes his time with you, starting with his lips on your neck, licking and kissing it, even nibbling at it.  He's always wanted to leave a hickey on you, letting all the guys know you're taken. He then makes his way down to your collar bone, the top of your chest and then pulls down your bra on one side to reveal a nipple.  He puts his mouth over it and swirls his tongue around it.  Jax looks up to see your reaction and find you looking back biting your lower lip. He smirks and pulls down the other side of your bra and gives that nipple the same attention, making you arch against his mouth. 
"Oh, Jackson," you moan.
He lets out a low growl.
"As much as I want to hear all the sexy noises coming out of your mouth while I'm pleasuring you, you gotta keep it quiet, darlin'." He kisses you while he unhooks your bra and tosses it aside. He then unbuttons your pants and backs himself off the bed. He slowly slides your pants and thong off your hips and down your legs. He licks his lips, excited to unwrap you like his present. You watch him as he lowers himself to his knees and kneels at your feet to help you with your boots and removes the rest of the clothes off your body.  Suddenly feeling a bit exposed and shy like it's your first time with Jax, you keep your legs together. Jax places his hands on each of your knees and coaxes them open. He looks at his gift and licks his lips.
Tumblr media
He dives in between your legs while looking up at you. His soft lips and warm wet tongue are licking and sucking you on all the right places and his beard tickling your inner thighs.  That's new to you.  He barely had peach fuzz in his teens. You feel him slip a finger inside you as his lips are pulling at your clit.  Your breathing is getting shorter and more shallow.  Jax inserts another long finger in you and finds your g-spot, rubbing circles on it.
"Jax, I..." Feeling your orgasm building, you are rendered speechless. Jax continues sucking and stroking you until you come undone into his mouth and on his fingers. He watches you squirm and thrash as you scream quietly in ecstasy. He doesn't stop until you are sensitive to his touch and you push him away.  He wipes his beard and smiles at you, proud of his accomplishment. Jax surely still knows his way around your body.
You glance up to him as he gets to his feet.  You watch him strip his clothes off, first the kutte, then his shirt pulled over his head.  He kicks off his sneakers as he takes his time unbuckling his belt and unbuttoning his jeans.  You're glad he's taking his time though because it allows you to soak up and remember every second you have with this gorgeous man in front of you.  He finally pulls his jeans and boxers down.  Besides from the other day, the last time you and him were this intimate, the both of you were shorter, slimmer and clearly less experienced.  Now you’re both grown, gained curves and muscles and are far more seasoned in the bedroom.  He's also certainly grown in other places as well.
"Back up," Jax nods his head as he climbs onto the bed and  hovers above you.  You scoot back so your whole body is on the bed.  Jax lays on top of you and smashes his lips against yours again, cradling your neck and grinding against you.  You can feel the head of cock teasing your opening.
"Maybe we should use a condom this time," you tell him in between kisses.
"I'm not gonna lie.  You did feel amazing without one the other day," Jax admits.
You and Jax had always been careful and taking the right steps when you were younger, using condoms at all times so that time was the first time you both had sex without one. Thankfully you are on birth control and both are STD-free, but you know you shouldn't take any chances.  
You give him a knowing look.
"Anything for you, darlin'." Jax gives you a kiss on the cheek before getting up to put on a condom.  He climbs back on top of you and looks at you as he caresses your face, still not believing that you're beneath him.
You gently grab his face with both hands and kiss him deeply. You then feel him slip inside you. All of him.  You moan into his mouth and move with him, both of your hips slowly thrusting in unison. Jax grabs your hands and brings them above your head. He intertwines his fingers with yours and thrusts deeper into you.  He watches you while you relish in the moment, as he pulls these lost emotions from you with each deliberate push.  You wrap your legs around his waist and it encourages him to pick up the pace.  You try to do the same and meet his rhythm.
Jax releases your hands and reaches for your legs behind him and brings them in front of him to rest on his shoulders, deepening his access to you.  His hand reaches up to cradle your neck as he pounds into you. You then feel his thumb slide over the front of your throat.  You start to feel his fingers tighten slightly around your neck. This is also new for you and Jax, but you're loving it.  You can feel yourself getting closer to achieving another orgasm.
"Jackson..." you pant.
"Come for me, darlin'.  I know you're there," Jax grunts.
You close your eyes and feel bliss as you let yourself go, letting your body take over you.  After your orgasm subsides, you open your eyes and find Jax is no longer making love to you, but just smiling at you while still inside you. Now it's time for you to show him a few tricks you've learned.
"Get on your back," you tell him.
Without any protest from Jax, you both switch positions.  Jax lies on his back with this hands behind his head, waiting for you to take the wheel.  You straddle him and take your time sinking yourself onto him.  You feel a lot more confident about being on top than you did when you were younger.  You were shy and inexperienced.  Now? You're going to ride him like the sexiest Harley you've ever had the privilege of sitting on. You slowly start riding him, rocking back and forth, grinding on him and teasing him. You enjoy the feeling of him filling you up to the hilt as you push down on him.
Jax looks up at you, watching you take charge and own his dick.  He definitely notices you're a lot more comfortable in this position than he remembers.  He reaches up and runs his hands over your breasts, massaging them and caressing your nipples as you enjoy the ride. He's certainly enjoying the view.
"You are still as fucking beautiful as the day I fell in love with you," Jax says, mesmerized by the image in front of him.
You smile and then lean back, placing your hands behind you on his thighs. Jax looks at you curiously. You roll your hips and start sliding up and down on him, giving him a clear view.  He looks down and watches himself disappear in and out of you.
Jax groans and runs the palms of his hands over your thighs and settles on your hips.  One of his hands then slides over between your legs and he starts rubbing circles on your clit with this thumb. You moan and gasp. You then lean forward, placing your hands on the pillow of each side of his head and lean down closer to him.  You start bouncing your ass up and down as you look down on him, your hair forming a curtain around your faces.  Jax grabs your ass and starts thrusting up to meet your movement. The only sounds echoing in the room are your pants and your bodies slapping against each other.  Jax speeds up and watches your face as it distorts.  He knows you've got another one inside you and you're very close.
"Come on, darlin'. Let it go." Jax coos.
You let out a loud moan as your legs shake and feel like a firecracker exploded inside of you.  Jax clamps a hand over your mouth as he continues to drill inside.
"There you go, Y/N." Jax smiles watching you fall apart on top of him.  He then swiftly flips you onto your back and roughly drives into you a few more times until he finally gets his own release.
Tumblr media
As he slows down, you both look at each other, savoring the moment and then kiss softly.
Suddenly the door knob starts to rattle and the person on the other side is banging on the door.
"Yo, hurry it up! I gotta take a shit!" an unrecognizable voice shouts.
"Hey asshole, the bathroom is further down!" You both hear Chibs shouting. You place your hands over your mouth as you start to laugh.
"Shh!" Jax puts a finger over his pursed lips as he tries to suppress his own laughter.
SMASH CUT TO BLACK
A/N: I never put notes at the end but I figured I'd let you enjoy the fic first before mentioning I currently don't have plans to expand this story. I might in the future, but not in the near future.  I originally intended the first part to be short and be a one off, but I just kept writing and writing and there were so many places and opportunities to keep expanding. Same for part two.  There were so many directions I could have gone. I had a bit of struggle with this for some reason. It's not quite exactly how I pictured it ending but it works for what it is.
If you haven’t read it yet, I wrote two short scenes titled “Carry Me Home” and “Joyride” which are like flashbacks in this universe.

Hey love!! I hope you're having a wonderful day so far!! I absolutely adore your writing and I was wondering if you could do an imagine where the reader is absolutely terrified of dogs, and whenever she is at Tom's house she is awfully scared of Tessa, and Tom keeps teasing her about it or something!! And maybe she could try to genuinely overcome her fear for the sake of Tom, but she can't.
Hi lovely! I’m doing really well thank you! I hope you’re well too! Thank you so much for the support, more than happy to do the request! I hope you enjoy!!
You’d been with Tom for around 8 months and everything was perfect, really you couldn’t have asked for a better boyfriend. There really only was one problem. You were terrified of dogs and of course with Tom having a dog this wasn’t the best combination. You’d mentioned this to him and he was very sweet about the whole thing. He made sure whenever you came round that he dropped Tessa off at his parents, or asked one of his brother’s too take her for the day. This usually left you feeling guilty because Tom’s home was also Tessa’s and she had to leave for a while if you were coming round. You still remember the first day you had officially met her.
***
You’d arrived at Tom’s as planned and knocked on the door, seconds later he answered. He smiled at you but had the hint of a guilty look on his face. You were about to step past him when he stopped you. You panicked thinking maybe he’d invited you round to break up with you, you looked up at him hesitantly.
“Tom? Is everything okay?”
“Sort of. I need to tell you something before you come in.” 
“Okay...”
“I really tried but my brother’s are busy and my mum and dad are visiting some family. Tessa’s here.” He looked at you as he watched your expression falter. “I know you’re scared of dogs but i promise she’s really sweet and she won’t hurt you.”
“Well i suppose i should finally meet her.” You said as you tried to swallow down your fear. Tom wouldn’t let her hurt you. He wouldn’t have a bad dog, right? Tom grinned at you as he let you slip past him to take your shoes off. He pulled you into a hug as he gave you a sweet kiss. “I’m really happy to see you by the way love.” 
“I’m happy to see you too. Where is Tessa?” You asked having not yet seen or heard the staffie.
“She’s in the living room. She gets really excited when she sees people. So she might startle you a bit but she’s harmless, I promise.” He took the lead as he made his way into the living room, pausing to give you a small smile as he opened the door into the living room.
It all happened at once. Tess had heard someone come in and was very excited to see who had come through the door. She bounced over to you, tail wagging and barking, too quick for Tom who tried to stop her. You couldn’t help it, you wanted to keep yourself composed but as all dogs did she frightened you. You screamed slightly as you made a beeline for Tom, you stunned Tessa slightly, not used to this sort of reaction. You jumped up onto Tom’s back, not giving him much time to react, only just catching your legs as you wrapped them around him. Tessa looked at you dumbfounded.
“Darling, what are you doing?” Tom asked, slight smile in his tone. He couldn’t help it, he knew you were afraid of dogs but he wasn’t expecting you to be so afraid, it was kind of cute.
“She can’t bite me if i’m up here.” You answered frantically, eyes glued to Tess as you watched her approach Tom, she’d gotten excited again, thinking it was a game.
“She won’t bite you i promise. See, she thinks you want to play now.” He said as he made his way further into the living room, you still attached to his back, Tess following closely behind. Because you couldn’t now see her a panic set in and you subconsciously tightened your grip around Tom’s neck earning a strangled laugh from him. “Lovie, your going to choke me out if you carry on.”
“S-sorry. I just can’t see her.” You said as you loosened your grip. He got to the sofa and before he set you down he turned to Tess.
“Tess. Sit. Stay calm. Good girl.” He said as he set you down onto the couch. Tess stayed sat on the floor not far from you. She just kept staring at you which made you tense. 
“Why is she staring at me like that? She’s waiting isn’t she? She’s going to bite me.” You rambled as Tom took a sat next to you. He laughed out loud at that.
“No, she’s waiting for you to pet her. She’s used to people coming in and making more of a fuss of her than do of me.”
***
After that you’d gotten slightly better, no longer jumping at Tom when she was in the house. Tom of course, still found it slightly amusing that you were so frightened stiff of, in his opinion, the world’s most harmless dog. You were walking to his house on the phone to him as you refused to let him pick you up, arguing that it was a lovely day and you could use the walk. He didn’t want you to be alone so he insisted that he rang you.
“Tessa’s here again today.”
You groaned at that, making Tom laugh. “You’ve met her so many times now Y/N, she hasn’t hurt you, she’s actually gotten used to you coming through the door and not jumping up. She’s always checking to see if you’re with me before she gets too excited.”
“Yeah but what if she suddenly decides she hates me and tries to kill me?” You groaned out.
“What? Like when you first met her and you tried to kill me?” He teased you down the phone, you could just picture the smirk on his face.
“You’re never gonna let me forget that are you?” 
“Nope.See you’re scared of Tess, when i think i should be scared of you darling. Quite a grip you’ve got on you.” He laughed, he didn’t mean to poke fun at you over your fear, but you took it pretty well.
You arrived at his house opening the door. Tess came through to see who it was and she wagged her tail and you happily, she really was good, she no longer bolted towards you, just looked happy to see you. Tom says she’s still waiting for that pet. “Hi Tess.” You whispered as you took off your shoes and made your way into the living room where you were greeted by Tom. Tess following slowly behind.
You put a film on and as you were cuddled up with Tom, you ended up observing the staffie. She hadn’t tried to hurt you and it she had made a change in her behaviour when it came to greeting you. Maybe you could try and fight your fear.
“Where are you sweatheart?” Tom asked as he coaxed you to look at him.
“I think i wanna try and pet her.” You whispered to him. He smiled at you.
“Okay, i promise she won’t hurt you. Tess come here.” He called her and she arrived not long after, staring up at her owner lovingly, he petted her as he looked at you. “You sure you wanna pet her love? It’s okay if not. Don’t feel pressured.” He said in a more serious tone. He might have teased you but he does take your fear seriously at heart.
“Well, she’s your dog and i should try, she has.” You justified more to yourself than to him. He nodded as he watched you hesitantly extend your hand towards Tess, she looked back at you, tail starting to wag. You swallowed your fear as you continued to stretch your hand in her direction. It wasn’t until she moved her head in your towards your hand that you pulled back. She visibly deflated and you felt awful but you just couldn’t do it.
“I’m sorry Tess.” You sighed, you were annoyed with yourself at this point. Why couldn’t you just get over your fear.
“It’s okay, darling, honestly. I’m proud that you tried. Maybe one day, yeah?” He said to reassuringly as he petted Tess instead, she seemed somewhat content with that and she padded of back to her bed.
“I’m really sorry Tom, i did want to, i just got so far and i couldn’t.” You sighed. He pulled you onto his lap as he peppered your face with kisses.
“It’s okay. I promise. I still love you and i’m happy that you tried. I mean it.”
“Maybe one day i’ll stop panicking every time she moves.” She said as you kissed him. Tom grinned as he tried to lighten the mood.
“Yeah, maybe. I mean you don’t try to strangle me to death anymore when you see her.” He teased earning a teasing glare and a light slap to the bicep from you.

Ooh matchups!! I am here lol 👀
May I get a romantic matchup w one of the adult male characters?
Personality:
I come off as very friendly and sociable bc I'm too socially awkward to gracefully turn down a chat lmao. Don't get me wrong I do like talking with people but bc I'm too anxious to interrupt people when I have my own thoughts I often end up listening to the other person go on and on and it feels like they're just talking at me :/ I would very much appreciate someone who realizes this and actually pauses to ask for my opinion to make me feel included in the conversation
On the other hand, if the other person is willing to listen, I will ramble for hours about my own interests (and also go on like five tangents before I inevitably lose my original point lmao). I'm a biologist so point out any living thing to me and I'd probably have several fun facts ready to share
I almost always have a smile on my face when I'm out in public or anywhere I'd see another person. I just really don't want to come across as rude so I smile at everybody lol
This unfortunately has the side effect of making me hide my negative feelings from my friends. It's not that I'm actively trying to — if they caught me in the moment I'd at least be honest about my feelings — but I tend to push all the negativity to the back of my mind whenever I'm out with friends and only really address it when I'm alone at night. I also have a hard time showing any sort of weakness to anyone, despite my philosophy of "always talk to your friends about your problems." It's just that I'm supposed to be the one who has it together, so I feel like I have no one to go to when I need help. I'm trying to change this habit but it's been difficult lol
Likes/Dislikes:
Communication is so important to me. As someone who's very nonconfrontational I try to do all I can to avoid an argument. And honestly, being honest with each other will solve like 99% of the misunderstandings that people regularly have anyway
I love pretty much all creatures (tho my favorites are cats and also dragons even though they're not real) prob bc as a biologist, I have an appreciation for all living things and the roles they play in the world. I'm the type of person to trap the spider and bring it outside. These little critters are just trying to live like the rest of us!!
As for dislikes, I'm not a fan of jealousy in a partner. I guess some people find it hot when your s/o gets possessive of you but I'd rather just trust my partner and have them trust me? And when you do feel jealous like,, talk to your partner about what's making you uncomfortable?? Idk maybe it's just me lol
Hobbies:
I love drawing, writing, and piano!
I also love learning new things. Idk if it's really a hobby but I do enjoy adding to my collection of random trivia
Extras:
My love language is quality time and physical touch
I tend not to pay attention to my day to day life so I end up forgetting a lot of details about what happened the past few days. If someone brings it up I'd be like oh yeah that happened!! But if they were to ask me what I did last week I'd draw a blank lmao
I'm pretty sure all the tall boys in Genshin are a good head taller than me so do w that what you will lol
I absolutely make kissy faces and baby talk at cats and dogs
I tend to be pretty awkward with kids bc I don't know how to communicate with them. I can't even talk to adults who can articulate their thoughts you think I'm gonna understand children??
Dskgjsjd okay this was,, very long I'm sorry ;; but I hope it gave you a lot to work with haha!! Thank you in advance :D
I match you with...
Diluc!
Diluc is the type to regularly ask for your input and opinions when talking with you. He’s very aware of the fact that if it’s just him talking, it’s not a conversation. Even with other people, if he feels like you’ve been ignored he’ll divert the conversation to you as smoothly as possible.
Listening to you is a way to get to know you better, he’s keen to store details about your interests in his mind. Will he write them down in a hidden journal to make sure he doesn’t forget the most important parts? Maybe.
If you’re just looking to ramble about your interests to someone, he’s happy to listen to you talk while he’s doing paperwork and similar activities. His full attention may not be on you but he retains some of the details and will perk up and comment on anything that he finds particularly interesting.
The juxtaposition between smiling you and broody Diluc as you walk down the street together is *chef’s kiss*. It’s not that he’s necessarily unhappy, it’s just kind of become his neutral look over time.
I’m gonna be honest, it takes this man a while to figure out that you tend to hide your feelings. But! Once he does figure it out he regularly asks you how you feel. He just wants to check up on you and if he can help you with something that’s bothering you, he absolutely will. He doesn’t think you should rely on each other, but you should absolutely support each other.
Diluc is a very honest man, but sometimes he can be a bit blunt in expressing himself. He doesn’t mean to come across as rude or anything, but he’s not always the most delicate when using his words. Diluc would say “This is bland.” rather than, “I think we can improve this by adding some spices. :)” He usually means well, though.
Entirely indifferent to animals but if it makes you happy he will move spiders outside instead of squashing them. Even when you’re not around.
Diluc isn’t exactly the jealous type when it comes to other people giving you attention but he does absolutely take notice and is paying extra close attention if someone starts flirting with you. He gets a little more annoyed if you’re actively interacting with him when it happens, but when you’re more on your own he can’t really blame anyone for taking interest in you. Diluc won’t do anything about it and will let you handle it yourself however you see fit unless the person starts getting pushy. Mostly just concerned for your comfort and safety.
This man absolutely knows how to play the piano. If you’ll let him, he wants to listen to you play and if you play the piano with him? Makes his heart so happy, his smile will be so soft. Absolutely thinks about proposing when you play together.
Something about being in the same room as you when you’re writing or drawing and he’s reading or doing work feels so right to him. Even if you’re not interacting, peacefully spending time together while being productive is time well spent, he thinks.
You being smaller than him isn’t something he really pays much attention to. It doesn’t make much of a difference. His thoughts on it are pretty much just, Well, it does make it easier to pull you out of danger. That’s good.
Diluc feels conflicted when you’re babying animals. On one hand, he finds it very adorable. But, it is one of the only times he feels moderately jealous over the fact a cat is getting your attention and not him. He doesn’t get jealous when you spend time with other people or even when you interact with animals in any way other than this. Why does he feel like this? Nobody knows. But it’s true, I feel it in my bones.
Equally awkward if not more so with children. Luckily for him, he’s ‘weird and grumpy’ so kids don’t really seek him out much. It might even keep kids away from you when you’re with him, unless they really like you.
It wasn’t often Diluc wore a pink shirt, actually, you were pretty sure he had never worn one. You don’t recall ever seeing one on him and it was hard to imagine him going out and making the purchase. The sight was unusual enough that when you saw him wearing the pale pink button-up while looking over a few papers in his study, you couldn’t help but ask about it.
“I didn’t know you owned any pink shirts. Is it new?”
Crimson eyes flicked up from the papers in his hand to you. He placed the papers down, leaning back in his chair. You could see his cheeks turning a bit pink, too. The pause he took and his flushed face made you think he was embarrassed about it.
“One of… There was a mixup and one of your red items got mixed in with my white clothes. I don’t have any other clean button-ups at the moment,” he told you bashfully. The bit of color was different from his usual black attire, but you didn’t think it was anything for him to be quite so embarrassed about.
“It looks good,” you assured him, “Maybe you should wear pink more often.”

KAME-HAME FORGET ABOUT IT!
I would like to say thank you to mod taichi, mod rantaro and mod komaeda. I am the anon who was desperate, the one who struggles with academic issue, keep sleeping past midnight because of extra chores, and struggling with executive dysfunction. I don't know how to refer myself haha
It's funny, I saw the notification from your blog about my ask when I was REALLY in need of comfort unexpectedly. it was one of the worse day, I failed the selection to go to college I'm aiming for. there is an alternate way by taking a test but it was a huge and important thing for me, because other relatives would talk (or possibly brag) about how their children are doing wonderfully in academic stuff to my parents. I don't want my parents to feel embarrassed because of me. so of course, it gives me a LOT of anxiety. my heart is beating rapidly that my chest hurts so much.
Then I receive your response to my ask. It's very comforting, it calmed me down. I may teared up a bit. I really appreciate the advices, encouragements, and hugs. (I love hugs) Especially mod komaeda's advices. Thank you so much, I appreciate them. They really mean a lot to me. I didn't realize how much I needed all of these. To be honest, when I was re-reading my ask, I almost can't believe I typed all that. I didn't realize how much I struggled and desperate I am. It was truly a moment of weakness lmao
I've been struggling to respond your response because,, well. I'm still struggling haha. Unfortunately, after I send that ask, things are getting hella rough for me. It was one of those unlucky phase of time, where your days get worse each day, except this time is WAY worse because I'm going to graduate in a month and I have an important exam in two days. Then I got hit by other problems too like a member of my group project doesn't corporate so we were late to submit and it was even half done (it happened just a hour ago and it gives me an emotional breakdown because it was an important one but I'm fine now), I got blamed for something I didn't do (this happens a lot anyway but I'm very drained mentally and physically), I accidentally spat something that I've been keeping to myself to my parents and made them angry (I don't want to talk about my true feelings to them bc they only make me feel worse or worse, they get upset), more homeworks to catch up and more stressful stuff .
Basically anxiety is on my ass 24/7. It's the worst time of my life.
But whenever I hit rock bottom I would re-read your response and it lifts me up, you know? It always cheers me up reading your kind words about me, and as cheesy as it sounds, it makes me feel hopeful haha. But I never felt this hopeful before. So I'm very thankful for it, and thankful for the other mods who work hard helping other people too who come to this blog. Because even though I'm still struggling and facing the worst time right now, I'm not doing as bad as before.
Is it alright if I ask for another hug? Sorry, this whole ask ended up with me venting again haha. But I really am doing not as bad as before... I guess I'm doing better. Step by step maybe. Again, thank you so much!!
( By the way, this is out of topic but... hopefully people who know me don't recognize me on this blog for this question haha (if they do then oh well. shrugs): which one does look scarier for you, Once-ler from Lorax or the character designs from the movie called Cats (2019)? I'm not hating the movie, my friend and I are having a lighthearted discourse about it. u_u )
(Neither. Neither one is even that scary at all, for I fear nothing ~ Mod Hajime 🍊🌈)
---
O-Oh, welcome back, kiddo! Whoa, that’s quite the ask you got here. But it’s more or less an update, i-if I’m correct, and a decent one at th-that. Like you said, it’s all step by step progress, wh-which is still progress no matter how you look at it.
Tumblr media
I-I hate to hear that there’s been a few extra bumps along the road since your last ask, b-but I’m at least glad to hear that you’ve been making some sort of progress. Progress is still progress, no matter what. I-I’m just glad that you came to us. I-I’m just some average programmer, but I will agree that Nagito and Rantaro did amazing. Nagito’s... quite the interesting kiddo, but he means well, and Rantaro’s a brotherly figure th-that everyone likes, one way or another. Me? Ah, well... I-I can at least give good hugs, I guess?
Tumblr media
S-Speaking of hugs, I’d love to give you one. I-I can at least do that right, heh. I’ll give you as many hugs as you want, kiddo. I personally don’t mind at all.
Tumblr media
-
Hey there anon, you don't have to worry about referring to yourself, I remember you just fine! Hey, how's that for awesome timing huh? I'm glad you could read our answers when you needed it. I'm sorry to hear that you were having a worse day, but hey, it sounds like there's a way to make that test up a different way, so I'd give your all to trying that route. Don't give up just yet ok? Damn, yeah, I'm no stranger to the whole family bragging thing, that's a whole lot of pressure I think both of us can do without. It's really thoughtful of you to worry about your parents in this scenario, but you can worry about yourself too ok? Regardless of what you do, they should still be proud of you, and if they aren't, they're completely oblivious to your intelligence level and the amazing things you can do. Aw, I'm smiling real hard hearing how much our response helped, I'm always worried that I didn't help, or I somehow made it worse. Not gonna lie, this did give me a confidence boost. Hey, it's ok, you were in a more emotional state. It wasn't a moment of weakness. Everyone breaks down like that from time to time, and I'm happy that we were here to help you at the time. So don't feel bad about that, you're only human, and it's ok to get like that.
Tumblr media
You don't have to worry about having the perfect response either. As much as I wish we could, we can't automatically fix any anons' problems, we can only toss our two cents in and cross our fingers that it helps. The good news is that you came to us with your struggles again, so we can try to help some more. Eesh, yeah, those periods are never fun. Pretty sure Komaeda knows more about them than I do, but I can understand at the least. First of all, congrats on graduating! That's real impressive all by itself, so hopefully you can take some pride in that. Ugh, ok, wow, the second part of that. Damn I got hit with all the feels. I hate it when group projects go like that. I'm usually stuck with all the work, or the one who's up at one am trying to finish the damn thing. I think I'm getting kinda incoherent, so sorry about that. I'm glad you're doing better on that end though, hopefully things work out with that. Aw man, I'm really sorry to hear about the blaming thing. Is there any way to prove your innocence? I'm not saying go all class trial or anything, but is there any way for you to argue your case? Even if it happens a lot, that doesn't mean it's ok. You shouldn't have to get used to things like that.
Tumblr media
Yikes, yeah I can totally relate to the last part too. I'm also the type to clam up about my feelings because I don't wanna make anyone mad, but that happens some times, and honestly you had every right to say how you feel. You're keeping this all in, and it's gonna take a toll on you. Yeah, that's a whole lot of stress for one person to carry. I'm really impressed you haven't crashed and burned under the weight, seriously, you're an amazing, strong, resilient/ person, and it just blows me away. Trust me, you're gonna get through this stressful time. You're getting close to the end of it, and I know that you're gonna make it through. Damn, I'm smiling and blushing now. I'm really really glad we were able to help you out that much. Good! It's not cheesy at all! I'm glad you're feeling hopeful! The little steps are just as valuable as the big ones, and the fact that you're at least doing a little bit better is fantastic. Of course you can have another hug! It's ok, we're here to listen to vents, so say whatever you want to, no one's gonna judge you, I promise. Yeah, step by step, that's how you do it. 
Tumblr media
Oh damn, that's an interesting question. Honestly, I unironically love the Lorax movie, so the Oncerler ain't scary to me. Cats however...that was a trip. I don't have a better way to describe it, it was just a trip. So the Cats designs are way scarier. Like if I met the Onceler in a dark alley, I'd be just fine, but if I saw a cat-human-thing in a dark alley, I'd run for the hills. However, if I met the onceler fandom in a dark alley, that's a whole other story. Ok, I think I'm rambling again, so I think I better stop talking. Keep making those small steps forward ok? You got this.
Tumblr media
W-wow... my advice actually helped someone? Please tell me your joking, or better yet pinching me. I can’t believe my little words could affect you so much.... I think I’m tearing up... hehe. I gotta admit, Rantaro and Taichi did a better job than me! What else do you expect from two amazing Ultimates! Anon, I’m terribly sorry to hear that some things have turned up and made your life a bit more harder, but I want you to keep your chin up ok? You’re doing amazing Anon, I can truly tell! Having a partner that doesn’t help with group projects stinks too! It’s ok that you vented again, it’s always good to speak your mind when you feel bad! Helps to let other people hear to so they can help you! And hey, compliments from Taichi? So nice of you! Never heard myself being called an “interesting kiddo” it’s cute!
Tumblr media
I thought you’d never ask! I’d love to give you another hug! As long as you’d let me, I get worried when people want to hug me since I’m utter garbage, but if it makes you feel Hope, then I’m happy to oblige! Ah, and the Onceler or the designs of cats? I’d say the cats, I remember everyone having the hots for the Onceler once, so he can’t be that bad, right?

Can't close the stable door after the horse has bolted
Redglare 02/05/2019
So there you stood, the two of you side by side outside of the entrance to the massive precinct and law housing. The construction on it managed to finish in a timeline manner despite all the crisis and setbacks. It was a marvelous sight, and it was the place you lovingly called home.
"So, what do you think? It's breathtaking, isn't it? Our offices and housing are all here in this massive building." You look up at him with you hands on your hips.
Darkleer 02/05/2019
It sure was a building. A nice one, yeah, nicer than most trolls on Alternia might have. Not exactly better than what you used to have, at times when you still had a hive. Not that you should really care about looks. You don't. You've housed in a tiny hut for the last couple of years- You notice her eyes are still on you. ..Uh, she's.. expecting you to say something, right. Praise it, even? "Ah. Yes. It's nice."
Terrible. You did a terrible job, Darkleer.
This is already awfully tedious and you regret ever coming. Hng.
Redglare 02/06/2019
You give him a nudge and jerk your head in the direction of the door, making your way in and leading him to follow.
"Oh come on! Think of all the space you'll have to tinker!" You flash him a grin.
Darkleer 02/06/2019
"Uh. Sure." You follow obediently. It just slowly dawns on you that you may be expected to move into here too? Oh. Hm.
Redglare 02/06/2019
You prop your cane in the crook of your elbow to free up a hand to open the double doors. You outstretch your arms in a grand fashion and beam.
"Welcome! This is-"
And out the corner of your eye you spy... The Queen's maidens.
Darkleer 02/06/2019
You realize too late that you could have should have helped her with the door, especially with her cane. Well, matter, you can easily reach over her and hold the door open, ready to follow whenever she enters.
Your senses immediately pick up on a few presences though. Quite a few. Not sure if you'd like to engage....
Redglare 02/06/2019
You feel the door being propped open for you and redistribute your weight to your cane once more. You're too stubborn to ever ask for a hand but it's appreciated regardless. You realize now, however, that you forgot to mention the queen had these handmaidens.
"Hello, ladies! We have a new man on the force, but you don't have to fuss over him just yet. I'll give him the tour and call for you if we need help with his luggage." You send them away with an appreciative smile, fearing that their presence would bring him additional stress too early. However, it was probably best he was introduced to them with you in his presence rather than being startled by them later.
Darkleer 02/06/2019
"A-ah, thank you, I won't... be needing help. I can handle the luggage. No need to bother anyone with it..." You greet them with a few hesitant nods, just enough to not have to look up to them. One hand moves to push up the shades covering up the cameras that make your eyes. No need to freak out any residents of this place this soon already.
Redglare 02/06/2019
"Sorry, I probably should have warned we were going to be greeted by them. I just got so used to their presence." With a final wave to them, you continued walking through what was formerly a very grand hotel and what was now the lobby for the precinct and your homes. You wonder on where to begin, and remember that yes, he is carrying his luggage around.
"Did you want to drop off your belongings before we get started? You're welcome to pick any room from any of the floors that has not yet been taken. I still haven't picked one myself, haven't been around much to do so even though my stuff has been sitting in storage..."
Darkleer 02/06/2019
"I can just leave them here if they bother you." You wouldn't mind carrying them around for as long as you need to. The weight means little to you.
"I don't need much in my accomodations in terms of uh, appliances or comfort. Just space. Maybe if you have something like an unused garage... Or basement.. that would do."
Redglare 02/06/2019
You give him a puzzled look for his comment. Bothering you? Goodness, no. You weren't the one that was carrying them.
"It's up to you, they're your bags. As for the space you need..." You give it some thought and realize all you had seen in the building when scouting for a potential room were the residential wards and the kitchen.
"We could do a bit of exploring during the tour to figure that out, because I have no idea. Perhaps I can give Her Majesty a call and see what we can figure out for you."
Darkleer 02/08/2019
"I will hold onto them... for now. Until I find a good place to put them down. They would only be in the way here." You don't mind the prospect of exploring the place. Actually, you'd much rather do that for a whole day than having to consult anyone else around here but ah. That's not up to you. Guess you'll do the thing that normal people do and... talk with people.
"That would certainly make things easier." As long as she handled the call.
The thought of encountering Her Majesty runs a shiver down your spine. From all you've heard so far, the Prospitian queen seems friendly enough. But your last experience with directly serving under a ruler's order has been, well, subpar.
Redglare 02/10/2019
You nod your head and continue your walk, trying to decide what wing to start in first. This building was... a lot bigger than you remembered. "Of course I'll make the call, but you've got to meet her eventually you know."
You look behind and smile at him, a taunting grin that he had seen many times before, but it quickly melted into a warmer smile.
"She's absolutely wonderful. I feel such a sense of calm in her presence. Oh, you. I am so glad to have you here. Can you imagine how strange it feels to be, well, how many sweeps old are we now?" You ramble on in your excitement as you pick a hallway to lead him down. It took you a bit to remember but you think the kitchen is this way. It shouldn't be too busy at this time, you managed to time the tour when most have already had their breakfast and clocked into work. You also think it a good time to bring up what you and Pembrooke had spoken about just last night. "Something to help you get settled, I've got a potential job for you."
Darkleer 02/10/2019
"Too many.." you just reply.
You didn't exactly keep track of your age, especially recently. But you could easily figure out the exact number if you bothered. But what you have learned by now is that no creature should be allowed to last this long, for the sake of everyone else and themselves.
You quietly follow, carefully taking in any detail you can spot. If you're expected to reside here from now on, you should know your way around this place.
A job already? Well, you're not going to complain. Having something to keep you busy would be nice. You're just a bit surprised and possibly overwhelmed at how fast everything seems to happen. "What do you have in mind?"
Redglare 02/12/2019
"Too many indeed, but I'm finally feeling as if I'm doing something worthwhile with the rest of my sweeps. Not that what I tried before my disappearance wasn't but... Look you know what I mean." You give off a chuckle as you continue down the halls. You point out to him and explain each room of importance as you pass. Some were for meetings, some were offices. Some were gathering halls and eateries, and of course, the kitchen.
"Well, when I ducked out last night, I meant with Pembrooke to discuss all that happened since my absence. The force has got a bunch of tech from the enemy lines, which is great timing for your arrival. Is it within your skillset to track down what hands it's all been in and who produced it?"
Darkleer 02/13/2019
"Hm. I will.. have to see the tech. I work well with marechines, but to be honest, it is neigh impossible to keep up with all facets of programming and manufacturing that a single species can come up with. Let alone two or three..."
Ah. She hopefully didn't put all her hopes into you for this, did she? Hh.. You can do a lot of heavy duty and... build machines for heavy duty. You're also good at following leads, but it turns out the world develops far too quick for an old horse like you to keep up.
"I-I will take a look. It may be a very simple and obvious case. And if it's not, I will learn what is necessary.."
You hate to disappoint her, but it may already be far too late for that. Breaking news, you're not that great.
Skylla 02/13/2019
Yer name's Skylla Koriga and you've just changed out of yer uniform after a good day of woofbeast trainin'. Also patrol duty which wasn't all that great, but hey least nothing bad happened this time round.
You were planning on taking a small walk 'round the city; it sure is a big ol' city after all; and thus are in the hallway when ya spy Madam Redglare with....
Wait that ain't a Zahhak. Least ain't one ya know ya reckon.
Darkleer 02/14/2019
Well, your horns and size should definitely betray you as a Zahhak.
You spot her quickly. A future co-worker, probably. A bronzeblood, is she? By far not a small or frail looking one, but smaller than you regardless - and a lowblood. You're aware that blood castes are supposed to matter little in this city and you've long tried to leave the expectations and prejudices pounded into you by centuries of imperialistic indoctrination behind (emphasis on tried). But you can't assume that automatically means she is fine with your presence.
You hunch over a little, more or less consciously making yourself smaller, and turn your otherwise motionless face away.
"Good marening.."
Feferi 02/14/2019
You're name is Feferi Piexes and you are trotting down the hall from the other direction with a spring in your step. you spot Chief Redglare and suddenly feel more anxious. No doubt the inspector reported your folly with the with whole Eidan situation to her and it worries you that you are on thin ice with her. "Oh! H-hi Chief. Welcome home," you say with a bit of a worried smile. "ah and hello, sir," you greet the large Zahhak looking man with her. Wait, is he a Zahhak? Those horns are well, tall but very similar.
Darkleer 02/14/2019
Another guest arrives. Which isn't quite correct. You're the guest and this is their home.
You hear her approach right away, but you only turn around when she actually speaks up - and immediately freeze. A seadweller, and a fuchsia one on top. Such a young one, too.
A- and in a servicing position? She called Redglare 'chief'. Hh, that. Is going to take a while to wrap your mind around.
"Hhhell. O. Good mare- mer-  ..rning."
Your eyes would go wide if you still had any. Unfortunately, your voice still betrays you. God, what a first impression.
Redglare 02/14/2019
Disappointed? You were nothing of the sort. You instead give a hearty laugh and nod your head at him. "I understand. Or rather, I don't! Which is why I thought to ask you. Just a simple look into it is more than enough for your first task, might be a good way for you to get to know who we're up against."
You were about to open your mouth to say something else but you were greeted by two of your officers. You worry their presence may overwhelm Darkleer, but now was a better time than any to get them aquainted in a relaxed fashion.
You give a way to the first troll that approached the two of you. "Hey there, officer. Apologies I didn't let you know right away I made it back, I know I still owe you lunch."
You turn and bow your head to Feferi, wondering if she was harbouring any fears for bumping into you. Her stammering gave it away. You simply wave and offer a warm greeting in return. "Hello, officer. Thank you, it's good to be back."
"These are two of the officers assigned to the precinct." You offer to Darkleer, looking at him to check for any signs of discomfort.
Skylla 02/15/2019
The need to defend yourself-- physically or verbally-- from the older bluebood is real strong in ya, but then he falters upon seeing Feferi, who also shows up and you take that moment t' reign in yer emotions. It ain't fair of ya t' assume this blueblood will be like those from home. Ya gotta take that chance right??
So you relax yer stance and give him, Fef and Chief a real pleasant smile. "Howdy Chief! Ya ain't gotta worry ' bout none o' that now!"
"And always nice t' meet a new lawfolk Sir! Officer Skylla Koriga at yer service!~"
You wonder how he's related to the Zahhaks if at all; same hatch cluster??
Feferi 02/15/2019
The fact that she's smiling at you and everything sort of only makes you more nervous. You nod to her then offer a hand to the newcomer, "Nice to meet you. I'm Officer Ferferi Piexes."
Darkleer 02/15/2019
Redglare knows you well enough to discover some signs of mild discomfort in you, which means your actual levels of discomfort are through the roof.
You just barely resist the urge to kneel before the young heiress. (Does she even qualify as such *more importantly does even want that do you even have any right to question any of that-)
Judging from the interaction with Redglare, a handshake seems to be the appropriate reaction. While your thoughts arw racing, you manage to make yourself take her hand, soft and careful to not risk hurting her, but  somewhat incredibly stiff.
(It doesn't help that the Empress you served under would have gladly seen you licking her boots how could anyone possibly be expect you how to properly handle his situation and oh god did she say Peixes just like--)
"It's. A pleasure. I'm the Ex- Expatriate. Darkleer. Zahhak."
Feferi 02/15/2019
Expatriate? That is an odd title for someone to give themself but you aren't going to judge or make assumptions without hearing his story. A story you are in fact, absolutely curious about. "I look forward to working with you Mr. Zahhak!" you say cheerfully, trying to be something of your regular self in spite of your worry that the chief is going to reconfirm the inspector's admonishments and worse.
Skylla 02/16/2019
Expatriate? Ain't that meaning he be living outside his native land?? Hey just cause ya sound like a country bumpkin it don't mean ya don't know what them big words means! You reckon that he meant t' say a different title; but it ain't the time t' bother the blueblood 'bout it.
"Any relation t' them other Zahhaks we gots here Mr. Darkleer Sir?"
Darkleer 02/16/2019
Indeed, there is a different title. Once your whole pride and life, it feels even more shameful to wear than the one denoting you as the traitor and coward you ultimately are.
"I have... been told about them. I have yet to meet them." You cannot confirm or deny any relation to either of them, but considering the name and blood and apparent similarity. Well uh. It's an obvious case.
Skylla 02/16/2019
Hey to be fair to ya, it's only when ya got t' Midnight City that ya been seeing trolls of similar blood n type; it ain't common at all back on Alternia considerin' that ya don't got what the humans calls "siblings." And the blueblood before ya is loads of sweeps older for sure; it's not that obvious t' you.
"Well reckon they'd be mighty interested t' meet ya! Hope it goes well then Sir."
Redglare 02/16/2019
You watch with pride as the interactions between the three go swimmingly, hoping that his exposure to both a lowblooded troll and the highest of royalty in the same breath would have him come to realize how different things were in Midnight City. Castes of blood were almost inconsequential here, it was only irony that you, as a teal blood, found yourself in a roll similar to that which you once held.
"It's a good thing we all bumped into each other. I wasn't so sure how to surprise you all with his presence, but finding him was the cause of my being away. He's a good friend of mine, and I'm happy to have him on the force." You say with a beaming grin to your two officers. Yes, you had mentioned his descendants to him, and although you agree in their potential interest in meeting their ancestor, he still seemed apprehensive about their meeting.
You saw the signs of discomfort welling up in your dear friend, but hoped that this informal welcome would wash them away. He was difficult to read at times, and you worry that his self loathing was likely to remain as it had all these sweeps. But in due time you knew it in your heart that he'd come to love it here and dedicate himself to the force.
You look back to them after reaching to give him a gentle pat on the arm. "You two off duty now? I was trying to think of where else to bring him on our little tour. Still don't know my own way around here, so I'm doing a bit of discovery myself." You figure it best to set aside work business for now, the stress of the upcoming war must be on everyone's minds and you figure a bit of lighthearted banter and conversation would do everyone, including the ever-nervous Darkleer, some good.
Feferi 02/17/2019
"Oh yeah I am at the moment. My shift was earlier today," you say. "But if there's anything you need I'm happy to help."
Skylla 02/17/2019
"Same; was gonna go walk 'round town but reckon there's still loads of places t' check out right here." Come t' think of it, has the Chief moved in yet? You're sure she's got a home but ya haven't actually seen her round.... then again, she is the Chief so she probably real busy. Like PI!
"Well, we gots the weights n exercise room, as well as the rooftop areas n whatnot!" You suggest helpfully. "What places have ya both already been t'?"
Darkleer 02/18/2019
Oh, you're realizing how different things are here. You've most likely already noticed by observing some people out on the street on the way here. But this? Cultural shock would be an understatement.
Redglare's pat on your arm is not enough to actually calm you down by far, but manages to startle you out of yet another anxious-ridden train of thought. Ah. They're tagging along. Joy.
"Nowhere, really, besides the hallway.." Not to put Redglare on blast. You're just stating the facts. "We were on the way to the kitchen." The exercise room actually sounds tempting, but you'll probably get to that one sooner or later.
Feferi 02/19/2019
"There's also a pool. But I guess at this time of year I'm the only one who likes the water even when it's indoors," you say. On one hand more people hanging out at the pool with you would be great but at the same time, it was kinda nice that you mostly had it to yourself.
Redglare 02/19/2019
"That would be my fault, the direction less wandering." You laugh at Darkleer's throwing you under the bus, but don't take it to heart. You considered it an accidental light jest more than anything.
"A room for excercising and a pool, eh? We really do have everything here. More like luxury resort than a precinct, but I'm not complaining. Suppose I can show off the kitchen first, and then let either of you show us to where you'd like?" You motion for the two officers to continue along with you and Darkleer, thinking the invitation was only polite.
Skylla 02/20/2019
"I'm rather partial to the rooftops really." You admit a bit sheepishly. "Once the warm weather rolls on in, reckon me 'n the Inspector are gonna go abouts plantin' a rooftop garden. There's certainly the space for it! Though the gym is also pretty neat too." Gotta keep on workin' t' keep in shape after all! And also ya can't swim. Sorry Fef!
You're proud t' say you only hesitate a little before taggin' along. It still feels real weird t' be doin' this with highbloods that aren't tryin' t' kill ya.
Darkleer 02/20/2019
"I doubt the pool would be suitable for me.. though it is wonderfoal that such options are provided." You follow along towards the kitchen. In passing you glance briefly at the young Peixes, then at the lowblood, which.. is probably not the right term to refer to her as here, and you feel the rising sensation of wanting to make yourself even smaller.
"Gardens on the roof.. I did not think that is feasible, but that is a creative and efficient use of space."
Redglare 02/20/2019
Redglare's eyebrow raised at the mention of the rooftop garden. It sounded like something out of a movie. You've probably only tended to one plant in your life, and even that you were lucky it survived, but it sounded like something you wanted to be a part of.
The irony of this strange spectrum of trolls parading the hallway still hadn't left you, and you all held positions that would have never worked in Alternian standards, maybe save for yours.
"We have the space for all of it, I think it's great we've made a community out of the different branches of the force." You all managed to make it to where the kitchen was located, and point it out. "Y'know, I've been to this part. But I hadn't stepped foot in the dining room yet."
Feferi 02/20/2019
"Wow I didn't know about the garden. Not surprised though. Her majesty seemed to cover everything when she got this place for the force," you smile. "I'll bet she'd got a library or somefin else unexpected somewhale in this hotel."
Horuss 02/20/2019
You are one Horuss Zahhak and you are currently loitering within the kitchen of the dorms, of which you are neigh a permanent resident but you accepted the offer of a secondary accommodation for when it was too unreasonstable or you were simple unstable to return to your own stable, a good arrangement, certainly there was quite a bit of value to the idea.
Anyways you hoof just finished a particularly eventful shift and are taking the time to relax and unwind and get yourself something to eat, manely a salad of mixed vegetables and a few pieces of fruit afterwards. It is very difficolt to miss the collection of trolls making their hay into the room you currently inhabit so you do neigh.
You recognize two of them by introduction, one by reputation and choose to be wilfully in denial about the identity of the last and the far too numerous similarities between himself and you and Equius detailing a definitive possibility, certainty even, to his identity. Lovely. You nod to the group, "Greetings," then take a bite of a piece of tomato, technically a fruit but still allowed within the classification of what is acceptstable for salad.
Darkleer 02/21/2019
The mention of 'her highness' puts you at unease once more. You have yet to meet her, but your experiences people in power, especially of the female variant, have been franky abyssmal. But. She wasn't Her Imperial Condescension, and the people around here spoke of her with admiration, so... maybe she was quite alright.
You quietly follow, occupied by your thoughts and worries, until your group reaches the kitchen. You immediately recognize him, of course. Mostly because it has been pointed out to you more than once that your very descendants are abou, else you might have been inclined to deny his existance as much as he does. You've already been dreading the day you meet them, but you absolutely weren't prepared for that to be today.
You freeze up just outside the door as your everything revolts at the mere thought of making even another step forward and having to confront your very own legacy.
Redglare 02/22/2019
Ah! The timing of this couldn't be more awkward. Another new officer you had yet to meet to get to know, and of course he's one of the Zahhak's you had mentioned to Darkleer. You've heard great things about his work so far, and while you're happy to finally meet with him, you fear it might be too soon for your dearest friend.
Did he just bite into a tomato?
"Hey there, officer. You must be Horuss. My apologies for not having met with you yet, I'm Chief Redglare." Your assumption was most likely correct from the matching horns. You notice that while Darkleer fought through his anxiety to greet the other two you had caught up with, he had yet to manage even a hello at the troll before them. You give him a tiny nudge with your elbow.
Feferi 02/22/2019
"Oh hi Horuss!" you greet him warmly. Looking around you remember you need to go pick up some food your lusus wants. "I've got to go, but I'll see you all later. Nice you meet you!" you tell the newest Zahhak before waving to all and heading off.
Horuss 02/22/2019
A singular ear flicks backwards before returning to a mare neutral position in a quick motion as you notice the... other Zahhak freeze utterly and completely. Neigh too impressive for an initial face-to-face reaction, neigh too impressive insteed. Your attention shifts away decisively as Redglare's words request your attention.
"Insteed, Horuss Zahhak, pleasure to meet you Chief." Your words to Redglare are ones with a polite, respectfoal difference as befitting to speaking with a superior. "There is neigh need for apology for being occupied with other duties."
"A pleasant hay to you Feferi," you offer the seadweller as she makes her departure of the group.
Skylla 02/23/2019
Aw well shit. Now yer on yer own with two much older and far higher trolls. Least Horuss is here though ya reckon he don't look all that pleased t' be seeing the Expatriate. It ain't none of yer business though so ya ain't gonna bring it up.
Instead ya give Horuss a wave in greeting. "Howdy Partner! How ya been??"
Horuss 02/24/2019
"I hoof been well enough, Miss Koriga, thank you for the inquiry," words accompanied by a nod in her direction. "I trust the hays hoof been treating you kindly in return?"
Darkleer 02/26/2019
It is indeed to much for Redglare's dearest friend. Horuss' noteable refusal to ackowledge you was both a relief and a painful sting into the exact fear that almost kept you from coming in the first place. Maybe he just didn't recognize who you are, which honestly would probably be the best for all involved. Or if he chooses to ignore you, well, so be it.
The little elbow nudge manages to snap you out of your paralysis, though possibly in opposite effect than she intended. While your descendant is distracted with the bronze-blood you turn at Redglare. "I, uh. Will wait elsewhere. Excuse me."
Redglare 03/04/2019
You're dismayed at this turn of events. Perhaps you set your expectations too high, perhaps you didn't know your officers as well as you thought. You also curse yourself for having this idea in your head about someone you had not yet met. Maybe Horuss was just as shocked to see his ancestor yet lives as Darkleer was surprised to hear about his descendents? Still, you feel guilty that the first meeting did not go pleasantly.
You look up to get a reading on Darkleer's face and manage a small smile and concern in your voice. "We could leave them to catch up and continue on our tour if you'd like. I'm sure Skylla could catch up later to us later to show off what she wanted."
Darkleer 03/04/2019
Yet again you're a coward. In a situation where much less is at stake, admittedly. But a a coward still. And what a disappointment you must be to the young Zahhak - if not yet, then definitely now.
Fortunately, at least Redglare is merciful on you and your pathetic plight. "That.. would be favorable, yes" you nod, eyes strongly fixated on the Chief so you don't have to see Horuss' reaction.
Horuss 03/04/2019
You are neigh disappointed by the turn of events, to be disappointed you would hoof needed to hoof high hopes of some kind and your expectation about this particular for-mare improbability had been completely neigh-existent. You are neigh too surprised to see him connect the Zahhak name with coward once mare though, it is, something you know how to deal with.
You do  neigh allow yourself a STRONG outwards reaction, you are going to keep your polite and professional difference to the situation at hoof and allow him the retreat he wishes.
Redglare 03/06/2019
You offer an understanding smile and nod your head. With a hushed tone, "I can come up with something for our departure."
You hold up your hand to both officers and betray non of your internal emotions. Instead, you appear as your usual excitable and tired self when you call out to them. "We're gonna let the two of you catch up and keep going with our exploration! We've got a lot of ground to cover on Darkleer's first day. It was good to see you officers, I'll make sure to get better aquainted with you both."
Skylla 03/07/2019
"So far so good Partner!~" Ya chuckle, forgettin' for a moment that there's two Ancestors in the same space as yerself n Horuss. Though ya gotta admit, he be actin' real polite-like; like way more than normal.
Then yer Chief speaks up and yer reminded real quick 'bout the situation yer in. Ya wouldn't mind chatting up Horuss but ya don't wanna bug him neither. And yet ya reckon ya ain't quite ready t' be on yer own with two much older highbloods.
" Ah... is that right?? Well if Partner here don't mind a bit o' company...?"
March 12, 2019
Horuss Last Tuesday at 12:07 PM
Ah, that truly confirms it for you. Darkleer, you know that name near better than your own. Hmmm, seems you were right to hoof long discarded any want you previously had to gain... whatever the Empire had wanted you to in regards to him. You nod at the Chief's words focusing on Skylla and completely dismissing the two elder trolls, allowing your ancestor his retreat. "I do neigh mind the company Miss Koriga."
Darkleer Last Tuesday at 5:52 PM
Ah. Hh. She mentioned your name. Well, it wasn't much but of a secret, but now he knows for sure. Hn.
"Thank you." You step back a little, then anxiously wait for Redglare to join you and guide you around.
