Capsize

chapter twenty-six | actions have consequences

percy jackson x fem reader

“What is it, Mary?”

The house’s quietude was knocked off-kilter by Travis’s words, his whispering. The bubblewrap around your heart threatened to pop.

Nothing. The word sat on the edge of your tongue, and you wanted nothing more than to let it fall off. But that wasn’t true.

A summer in a different country would have once been your dream. But this summer had killed it, and hurt you, and you wished more than anything in the world you could just forget it all. The events of the last six weeks wrung your organs out in one uncomfortable, painful, bloody mess.

You felt empty.

In typical Chiron fashion, he’d taken to get a hot drink for you. The night had turned cool, and in your denim shorts and a t-shirt, you’d been feeling the chill for too long. Your backpack sat by the coffee table, slightly ripped on the side from where you’d fallen, but otherwise unharmed. The same could not be said for your poor, scratched legs.

You’d shocked Chiron by your sudden, unexpected arrival into camp in the dead of night. You’d scared Travis by asking for him. Percy still resided in Manhattan with his mom, and you hadn’t wanted to bother them. But you’d needed someone, and you couldn’t think of anyone better at the time.

The blanket around your shoulders weighed heavily on you. You could scarcely speak, though you’d been trying.

“It’s just…”

Travis’s patient, brown eyes were riddled with sadness, and you hated it.

You sighed and said quietly, “I don’t know. I’m so tired.”

“You’re here, now. You’re okay.”

What you hated the most was the way his words got choked at the end. You’d upset him.

“You don’t have to stay with me. I’m sorry for waking you up. Go back to bed, Travis.”

“If you think I can sleep knowing you’re here like this, think again.”

You appreciated his concern. But you felt like a fake. Had your summer really been that bad? Compared to some peoples’, no, it hadn’t been. But thinking logically, it wouldn’t have hurt if it wasn’t bad. And it had hurt.

Things with your dad never had been simple, or even somewhat good. But they’d been manageable, and without a mom, and before camp, it had been your normal. But you’d experienced camp and overheard things, and knew now that being pushed around and treated the way you had been was not acceptable.

Somewhere in your backpack was your dad’s business credit card, most likely now cut off. But it had helped while it could.

“Hot cocoa,” Chiron announced gently, setting the large mug down on the coffee table in front of you.

The mug he set down sent your mind into a frenzy. All you were capable of thinking about, and all you could see were glass shards splashing up your legs as it they bounced up from the floor, and your stepmom’s flowers being walked all over.

You’d worn leggings for weeks after.

“Thank you,” you uttered, but didn’t pick it up straight away; there wasn’t much fancy in being burned.

The clock read three o’clock. Exhaustion filled every part of your body.

“Can I stay here tonight?” You asked nobody in particular, pulling a thread on the blanket. “I cant go to my cabin yet.”

“Of course, child,” said Chiron.

You didn’t leave that house for three days.

—

You woke up with a crick in your neck, and the most embarrassing thing since you fractured your ankle…

Drool on your cheek.

You sighed, wiping it away with a grimace. You didn’t have to look at Percy to know he had a grin on his face.

“Stop it,” you said.

“I’m not doing anything!”

But then he snickered, and you knew that was a lie.

“Where are we?” You looked around. Whenever you’d arrived, the animal had stopped, and the others were climbing off. It swung its head and chewed on a cactus.

Percy turned around. In the middle of nowhere, you seemed to be. The buildings were run-down and empty and dark inside, and the signs on the fronts were worn with the paint chipping away.

“Gila Claw, Arizona,” he said.

You watched the boar take a sip dirty water and belch, then it turned around and took off running towards the mountains in the distance.

The mountains…

“Am I hallucinating?” You said, turning everyone’s attention on you. “Or are the hills…not hills?”

“What are you…?” Thalia narrowed her eyes, coming to stand beside you. She shifted on her feet when she realised. “Oh my Gods.”

“They’re cars!” You flayed your hands, palms-up. “It’s a mountain of shi—”

“Something tells me we’re not going to find a rental car out here,” Thalia said. She looked at Grover. “I don’t suppose you’ve got another boar up your sleeve?”

Grover tilted his head back, and sniffed the wind that blew. He put his hand in his jacket pocket and pulled out a fist-full of acorns, and promptly threw them to the desert floor. In the very dim light from the stars and moon, you had a thought, and slung your bag down from your shoulders to dig around.

You flicked on your flashlight when you found it, and Grover nodded in appreciation.

“That’s us,” he explained. You shone your light on the acorns. “The six of us are those acorns there.”

“Which one am I?” Percy asked.

You couldn’t help it. “The little deformed one.”

He elbowed you in the side and you shone the flashlight in his eye.

“That cluster right there,” Grover through another handful. “That’s trouble.”

“A monster?”

Grover looked uneasy. “I don’t smell anything, which doesn’t make sense. But the acorns don’t lie. Our next challenge…”

Grover leaned over and placed his hand on the end of the light, shifting the beam. It highlighted the mountains of rubble and scrap metal in heaps around you.

You decided to camp for the night and explore in the morning. It wasn’t safe in the dark, and your admittance that something was making you feel off wasn’t helping the situation.

Out of their backpacks, Zoe and Bianca pulled out sleeping bags and pillows from their backpacks. You watched from the ground, cross-legged, gob-smacked and utterly confused. How did all that fit in there?

It got cold pretty fast, so Grover and Percy took it upon themselves to collect scrap wood from the old buildings and put it all in a heap. Thalia zapped it with her spear and started a fire.

Despite the peaceful company from your friends, and the warmth from your sleeping bag, it was a struggle to ignore the weird feeling down your back, and the feeling of something settling in your bones. Something wasn’t right…

Despite the slight fear that you might accidentally cut yourself in your sleep, you left your knife beside your sleeping bag just in case, and your backpack on the other side.

“The stars are out,” Zoe said.

She was right. You tilted your head back to look up at the sky; cloudless, and scattered with stars so bright you were for a second breathtaken.

“It’s pretty,” you muttered.

“It’s amazing,” Bianca agreed. “I’ve never actually seen the Milky Way.”

“This is nothing. In the old days there were more. Whole constellations have disappeared because of human light pollution.”

“You talk like you’re not human,” Percy said.

Zoe scoffed. “I am a Hunter. I care what happens to the wild places of the world. Can the same be said for thee?”

Her words, for some reason, sparked memories of your summer, before you’d ran off to camp.

Grass so brightly green it almost looked artificial, warmed by the sun. You’d lowered your head to lay and watch an ant on the edge of a blade of grass.

You thought of the small cove you’d found in a desperate bid to get away from the house, and the way the sea splashed up the sides of the rock, completely in your own little world.

“For you,” Thalia corrected. It brought you to the present. “Not thee.”

“But you use you for the beginning of a sentence.”

“And for the end. No thou, no thee, just you.”

Zoe threw up her hands. “I hate this language! It changes too often!”

Grover sighed. A look at him confirmed he still looked lost, and a little like he was longing. “If Pan were here, he would set things right.”

Zoe nodded and hummed sadly.

“Maybe it was the coffee,” Grover said. “I was drinking coffee, and then the wind came. Maybe if I drank more coffee…”

“Grover,” Percy’s voice brought you to clear attention, as he always did. Listening to his voice was like listening to your favourite song. “Do you really think that was Pan? I mean, I know you want it to be.”

“He sent us help. When we needed it most. I don’t know why or how. But it was his presence. I just know it. And after this quest, I’m going back to New Mexico and drinking a lot of coffee. It’s the best lead we’ve gotten in two thousand years. I was so close.”

Your heart ached for Grover. And you had no idea where the words came from, but you let them come anyway.

“You’ll find him, Grover.”

Said boy looked over at you, shocked. “You think so?”

You nodded. “I know so. If anyone can do it, it’ll be you. You’re in touch with all this nature stuff more than anyone I’ve ever met.”

He smiled a little, leaning back to look at the sky again.

And then, the moment was ruined.

“What I’d like to know,” Thalia said, her voice pushy. She looked to Bianca, trying to hide in her sleeping bag. “Is how you destroyed one of the zombies. There’re a lot more of them out there. We need to figure out how to fight them.”

She shook her head. “I don’t know. I just stabbed it and it went up in flames.”

“Maybe it’s something to do with your knife?”

“It is the same as mine,” Zoe said. “Celestial bronze, yes, but mine did not have that effect on the warriors that way.”

“Maybe you have to hit the skeleton in a certain spot,” Percy suggested, sitting up.

You leaned on your elbow, watching the exchange. Bianca looked extremely uncomfortable.

“Never mind,” Zoe told her. “We will find the answer. In the meantime, we should plan our next move. When we get through this junkyard, we must continue west. If we can find a road, we can hitchhike to the next city. I think that would be Las Vegas.”

“No!” You jumped. “Not there!” Bianca said. She looked insanely freaked out, like she’d witnessed something she couldn’t explain. And maybe she had.

“Why?” Zoe frowned.

“I think…I think we stayed there. Me and Nico. At least for a little bit. And then…I can’t remember.”

“Bianca,” your eyes shifted to Percy. He spoke slowly and carefully. “The hotel you stayed at. Was it called the Lotus Hotel and Casino?”

Your heart skipped a beat, eyes widening. You remembered that place too well.

Bianca’s eyes widened. “How could you know that?”

“Oh, great.”

“Wait,” Thalia said. “What is the Lotus Casino?”

“We got stuck in there a couple of years ago,” you said, gazing around the group. “Me, Percy, Grover and Annabeth. It felt like a few hours but actually it’d been five days. It speeds time up without you realising.”

“No,” Bianca said. “That’s not possible.”

“I used to think a lot of things weren’t possible,” you sympathised. She stared at the ground. “But look where we are now.”

“You said somebody came and got you out,” Percy urged. “What did he look like? What did he say?”

“I—I can’t remember. I don’t want to talk about this, please—”

Zoe sat forward, eyebrows pulled in concern. “You said that Washington D.C. had changed when you back there last summer. You didn’t remember a subway being there.”

“Yes, but—”

“Bianca,” Zoe said. “Can you tell me the name of the president of the United States right now?”

“Don’t be silly,” Bianca said, and gave the right answer. But you knew where this was going.

“And who was the president before that?” You prompted.

Bianca thought for a while. “Roosevelt.”

You felt the line between your brows. “Theodore or Franklin?”

“Franklin. F.D.R.”

Zoe looked lost for words, and you just couldn’t understand how this had happened.

“Bianca, F.D.R. was the president, like, seventy years ago.”

“That’s impossible,” she said. “I’m not that old.” She turned over her hands like they should have shown her real age.

Thalia’s voice was sad. “It’s okay, Bianca. The important thing is you and Nico are safe. You made it out.”

You made it out. Your stomach churned.

“But how?” Percy continued, oblivious to the internal pain in you. “We were there for only a few hours and we just about made it out. How could you have escaped after being there for so long?”

“I told you!” Bianca looked about to cry. “A man came and got us out.”

“But who? Why did he do it?”

Before she could answer, a blazing light so bright it burned your eyes came from down the street, the headlights of a car. You all moved out of the way as it stopped in front of you. You had your dagger in hand at the ready.

The back door of the slim, white limo opened right in front of Percy. As he went to step back, the point of a sword was suddenly at his throat. You immediately jumped into action, shoving the door wider and drawing your dagger against the flat edge of the sword the way Travis had shown you, pushing it away slightly.

With a fierce face—or, what you hoped was fierce—and hard eyes, you stared down the very man who got right under your skin.

“You,” you spat. If looks could kill.

He smirked. “You,” Ares replied. He pushed the sword against your dagger with little effort, and you couldn’t help but move back slightly. From the corner of your eye, Percy drew his own sword, standing right behind you.

“What’s the matter, Jackson?” Area taunted. “Need your girl to protect you?” His eyes moved behind you. “At ease, people.”

Wraparound shades hid the god’s eyes, but for that you were thankful. He looked the same as he had the last time you saw him: tall and broad-shouldered, visibly and physically stronger than you. In a leather biker’s jacket, black pants and combat boots, he wouldn’t have usually been somebody who you messed with. But something about Ares continually struck a match in you, and you couldn’t help yourself. There was no fear with him, only anger and determination.

He snapped his fingers, and everyone’s weapons fell to the ground. Instantly, his sword shifted under Percy’s chin, lifting his head tilted.

“This is a friendly meeting,” Ares declared. “Of course I’d like to take your head for a trophy, but someone wants to see you. And I never behead my enemies in front of a lady.”

“What lady?” Thalia voiced from the back.

You felt the change in attention. “Well, well. I heard you were back. Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus. You’re not hanging out with very good company.”

In any other situation, you might have spoken out about what Ares thought of you and your friends. But with his sword at Percy’s throat…

“What’s your business, Ares? Who’s in the car?”

Ares smiled, like he enjoyed the attention. He pushed Percy away, sword point now at the ground. “Oh, I doubt she wants to meet the rest of you. Especially them,” he nodded in Bianca and Zoe’s direction. It didn’t take a genius to figure out who was in the car. “Why don’t you all go get some tacos while you wait? Only take Percy a few minutes.”

“We will not leave him alone with thee, Lord Ares,” Zoe said firmly.

“Besides,” you snapped, waving your hand to the broken building. “Are you blind? Taco place is damaged beyond repair.”

Ares snapped his fingers again, and behind you the taco shop sprung to life. Neon signs lit in the windows, and a warm smell began to drift from it. Boards flew off the door and the ‘closed’ sign flipped to ‘open’.

You were unable to see his eyes, but knew he was looking right at you. “You were saying, miss attitude?”

“Go on,” Percy said. You met eyes. “I’ll handle this.”

“You heard the boy,” Ares teased. “He’s big and strong. Go on. He’s got everything under control.”

Grover caught your wrist and pulled you with him.

You looked over your shoulder. Ares pushed Percy inside the limousine.

“This is awesome,” Thalia said. Inside the taco shop, tables were set up and some song played quietly.

“Believe it or not,” you said, walking around the counter. “I’ve never tried tacos before.”

Thalia’s jaw dropped. “What’s wrong with you?”

You huffed a laugh. Bianca and Zoe were looking at pictures on the walls, while Grover munched on a piece of…was that tablecloth?

“My dad just never let me try anything like that. He didn’t like it, so I couldn’t like it either.”

“That’s…weird.”

“You’re telling me.”

All of a sudden, the music cut off, and the air grew cold and dark. You were suddenly outside again, amidst all the junk and piles of trash.

Grover bleeted in shock, and you stumbled on air.

“What the…?” Thalia turned in a circle.

Bianca and Zoe shared looks with you.

Everyone was confused.

“What did she want with you?” Bianca said. You frowned, until he stood beside you.

Percy’s eyes were shifty. “Oh, uh, I’m not sure. She said to be careful in her husband’s junk yard. Not to touch anything.”

Your eyebrows knit together. “Why would she give us a warning? The gods never give us warnings.”

Zoe hummed in agreement. “The goddess of love would never make a special trip just to tell us to be careful, Percy. Just…watch how you go. Aphrodite has led many heroes astray.”

“For once I agree with Zoe,” Thalia said. “You can’t trust Aphrodite.”

“So,” Percy said. “How do we get out of here?”

“That way,” Zoe pointed ahead. “That way is west.”

“How can you tell?”

“Ursa Major is in the north, which means that must be west.” She rolled her eyes.

“Oh, yeah,” Percy nodded along. “The bear thing.”

“Bear thing?” You frowned.

“Show some respect!” Zoe said. “The bear was a worthy opponent. A fine bear.”

“You act like it was real.”

“Guys!” Grover interrupted. “Look!”

Between all the walking and talking (and staring at your feet because the dark was giving you the heebie jeebies in all the rubble) you’d come to the very front and tallest pile of rubble. Piles upon piles of metal objects glinted in the moonlight before you; tons of shields and broken swords, stray metal sheets and bronze chariots. More modern stuff sat between the older pieces, like washing machines and computer monitors.

“Woah,” Bianca said, “that stuff looks like real gold!”

“It is,” Thalia said grimy. You didn’t get why she was looking so tentative of it all. The feeling you’d felt for a while now got stronger. “Don’t touch anything. This is the junkyard of the gods.”

“Guys,” you said. “Can we just go?” Maybe getting out of the place would help your feeling to go away.

“Junk?” Grover ignored you. He knelt down and picked up the prettiest tiara you’d ever seen, the diamonds on it glittering like you’d never seen before. “You call this junk?” The tiara was cut in half like someone had hacked it with an axe.

Just looking at it made you want to pick something up, stuff it in your bag and take it home with you.

Grover bit off a piece of the tiara and chewed. Your jaw dropped. It was like a crime to humanity. “Delicious!”

Thalia swatted it from his hands and hissed, “I’m serious! Put it down!”

“Look!” Bianca raced through the rubble and down the hill. “A Hunter’s bow!” The picked it up. The second she did, you saw as you walked closer, it shrunk into a tiny hairpin. “Like Percy’s sword!”

“Leave it, Bianca,” Zoe said grimly. “Everything here is here for a reason. It is defective or cursed.”

“I don’t like this place,” Thalia said, coming up beside you.

“You think we’re gonna get attacked by killer refrigerators?” Percy joked, laughing with Grover.

You’d learned, being a demigod, not to underestimate anything, and if you were warned about something to always go by the rules. But…there were just so many pretty things amongst the trash, that eventually you couldn’t help yourself, and neither could Thalia or Percy.

Thalia found a shield she liked, and Grover ate some leftover rubble. Percy picked up a guitar, and you plucked up a silver, gem-encrusted crown on your head. You kept it on your head even as the end of the rubble piles began to come to an end, and the road was right ahead.

But…between you and the road was a huge mountain that stretched lengthways, bigger than the other piles of thrown away belongings you’d walked through.

“What is that?” Bianca gasped.

It looked like rows of silver columns.

“Are they…feet?” Thalia asked, narrowing her eyes. Everyone exchanged looks. “Let’s go around. Far around.”

“But the road is right over there,” Percy pointed out. “Let’s just climb over.”

Ping.

You spun around, hand tight on the handle of your dagger. You pointed it at Grover. “What are you doing?” You hissed.

“I don’t know. I…uh, don’t like fake feet?”

“Come on,” Thalia groaned. “Around.”

After several minutes of walking away from the yard, you reached black asphalt, and could take a deep breath.

“We made it out,” Zoe breathed. “Thank the gods.”

Apparently, that was the wrong thing to say.

A sound like something was crushing all the metal together filled the air, and goosebumps ran the length of your body. The awful feeling you’d felt for so long now only got worse.

You spun around. And couldn’t believe your eyes.

Your mouth was agape as you looked it over. A giant, hundreds of feet tall, had risen from the junkyard. Half of his face was melted off, and the bronze giant wore full greek body armour. He was as tall as a skyscraper, and you swallowed. Hard. His joints squeaked with disuse and rusting.

“Talos!” Zoe gasped.

You whipped your head in her direction. “Who?!”

“One of Hephaestus’s creations,” Thalia answered, but didn’t take her eyes off the giant. “But it can’t be the original. A prototype maybe. A defective model.”

Something you’d never heard of before.

The giant didn’t like the word Thalia used: prototype.

He lowered his huge hand to the sword belt it wore and drew his sword. The sound was like nails on a chalkboard and your stomach clenched.

“Someone took something,” Zoe turned. “Who…”

Her eyes lifted to your head. To your hair, specifically. Where you’d forgotten...

The crown you still wore.

You’d been wearing it for so long, you hadn’t even felt it.

“I’m sorry,” you rushed. “I just forgot.”

Thalia pulled a face. “You just forgot?! After I said not to take or touch anything!”

“Yes! Okay, I’m sorry!”

There was no time to do anything other than run. Talos took one large step toward you, making the ground shake under your feet.

“Run!” Grover yelled.

Against any other enemy, running might have helped. But this thing covered miles in one step.

So you split up.

Thalia held her shield up as she ran down the highway. The giant swung his sword, taking out power lines that sparked as they were cut and fell.

Zoe shot arrows that whistled as they flew by the giant, but it made no difference to the situation. He advanced, and you were frantically thinking of anything you could do. Surely there had to be a way to dismantle the thing, or something?

You ended up hiding behind a chariot with Percy and Bianca, three of you breathing deeply. Percy turned his head to look at you and made an exasperated sound.

“Why are you still wearing that thing!” He reached up and pulled it from your hair. It snagged, and you reached up to untangle it. You didn’t think he meant to hurt you, but he pulled it and pieces of your hair flowed off with it. Percy launched as far as he could in the giant’s direction.

It kept advancing.

“Someone else must have something!” He said. “Otherwise it would have stopped there. Bianca, that bow?”

“No!” She said. But her voice quivered.

“Give it back!” Percy exclaimed. “Put it down!”

“I…didn’t take the bow. Besides, it’s too late!”

“What did you take?!”

A massive creaking noise sent horror skyrocketing through your body, and you all moved instantly. Percy tore down the hill, Bianca in front of you and you at the back. The giant’s foot smashed where you’d been hiding.

“Hey, Talos!” Grover yelled from somewhere in the distance.

The giant paid him no mind, and simply stared down at you and Bianca.

Grover played a song on his reedpipes. The downed power lines began to flick and shift on the ground before rising in the air. One of them wrapped around the giant’s ankle and roped up his leg, shocking him.

“Come on!” Percy yelled to Bianca and you. Only you moved.

You slowed to a stop, unable to find your words. Bianca pulled her hand from her jacket pocket, tears in her eyes. A tiny figurine sat in her palm. “It’s the only one Nico doesn’t have!” She explained.

“How could you think of mythomagic at a time like this? Throw it down, maybe it’ll leave us alone.”

She dropped it reluctantly, but nothing changed.

The giant carried on after Grover, stabbing its huge sword into the ground. Grover danced around it to get away in panicked movements. Scrap metal made an avalanche over Grover, covering him completely, and your heart ached in your chest.

“No!” Thalia yelled. She pointed her spear and shot pure electricity at the giant. He collapsed, knees buckling where he’d been hit. But it rose almost immediately. He raised his foot to stomp, and that was when you noticed it.

“For maintenance only…” you muttered. “Guys, I’ve got an insane idea.”

Percy’s wild gaze met yours. “Anything.”

“There’s maintenance sign on its foot. I’m thinking if I can get in there, there might be a way to disable it.”

“How?” Bianca said. “You’d have to stand under its foot. You’ll be crushed!”

“Distract it,” you ordered. Percy looked at you like you were crazy. “I’ll just have to time it right.”

“No.” Bianca’s jaw tightened. “I’ll go. It’s my fault we’re in this situation.”

You threw your arms out in front of you. “I didn’t realise I had a decades-old crown on my head! If anyone’s at fault here, it’s me, and I’m going to fix this!”

Bianca kneeled down. You took the chance to run after the giant, a million thoughts going through your head. Something clasped your ankle and you met the ground hard. Percy yelled something behind you. Your chin burned and your eyes watered, and Bianca pressed something into your hand.

“If anything happens, give this to Nico,” she said, eyes watering. “Tell him…tell him I’m sorry.”

Your face dropped, and you could only watch as she stood and started to run. “What…? Bianca! Hey! Hey!”

She charged at the monster without a second thought. Everything in your body screamed at you, aching in a way it never had before. It was painful and unbearable, and you scrambled to your knees. Hands came under your arms, pulling you up. You could only watch after Bianca. She jumped at its foot, hanging on for dear life. Zoe yelled at her, and she responded to Bianca’s orders by shooting an arrow at the giant. It simply flicked it away, unbothered.

Percy ran next. He stabbed it, creating a gash in the metal, and it raised its foot.

It was like you couldn’t look away.

Even though it hurt terribly.

Bianca got inside. Percy was thrown across the road into a pile of metal. You walked towards them, praying and praying and praying to anyone up there for help. You muttered it, begged for it.

And nothing came.

“Go Bianca!” Percy yelled, as the giant hit itself.

He staggered around, and that excruciating feeling got worse. Bianca was still inside. The giant’s ankle hit a power line, and he was electrocuted. And if he was, Bianca was.

It fell back, and bit by bit, fell apart.

The giant crumbled from the top down. When it was completely apart, you all screamed for Bianca. You shredded your hands pulling pieces of metal apart in search of your friend, and you looked until your eyes burned with the morning sun.

You’d given the directions.

You’d set her there.

You’d stolen what wasn’t yours, and brought this upon yourself.

“We can keep searching!” Percy urged. “We’ll find her!”

The sunlight burned your skin and your eyes, and you narrowed them to watch your best friend. Standing on a pile of metal, you wanted to throw up. There was no way to explain how you felt. Only that you hoped to never feel this way again.

“No we won’t,” Grover said quietly. “This is how it was supposed to happen.”

“What do you mean?”

Grover looked up with big, watery eyes. “The prophecy. One shall be lost in the land without rain.”

What had you done?

You looked out over the desert.

In your eyes…

You’d killed Bianca di Angelo.

It’s midnight here and I’m tired. How do you guys feel about this chapter? Poor Bianca :(

Could you do Shinomori and Banjo for a princess mononoke au? 👉👈 Thanks!

Before you read the rest of this, you may want to take a seat. Because I, Jane Alice Rosewood*, have never seen a Studio Ghibli movie. Not one. (*My Ao3 username btw)

BUT I got an HBO subscription to watch Fionna & Cake, and they happen to have it there. So, I took it as a sign, and decided to watch it, which is why this took so long. I hope this was worth the wait. Figuring out who got what role was fun.

Daigoro is not a prince. He just doesn't have the personality for it. Instead, he's a man of normal status with a boisterous personality. When a demon was about to kill some other villagers, he reacted out of pure instinct and grabbed a rope, somehow managing to hog-tie it. Then he ran close and stabbed it, which killed it, revealing that it used to be a boar god. Unfortunately, it managed to grab his arm, cursing him. After receiving the news that the boar god became that way because of an iron ball shot into it, he decides to go and find a way to make sure that doesn't happen again. He doesn't care that he's dying, he just hears that the forest gods are in danger and rushes to save them. His brother En only manages to catch him because he's on an elk and gives him some provisions, the elk, and his favorite dagger as a keepsake.

On his way to the west, he has to fight off several samurai and notices that part of the curse makes him stronger and he can shoot out black tendrils, like the ones that surrounded the cursed god. Later, he bumps into a friendly monk named Torino. and asks if he knows where the iron ball came from. The monk tells him about Iron Town and gives him directions along with a legend about the Great Forest Spirit, who may be able to heal his wound. Meanwhile, Prince Mononoke (Hikage) and his wolf dad, Mitsu (Third) are fighting against Lady Nana and her men. Unfortunately, Mitsu ends up getting shot with iron and falls off the cliff along with Hikage.

Daigoro is having a dandy time walking through the forest, singing songs and basically having his Disney moment out in nature. Then he and his elk (Kudo) find some injured men who also fell off the cliff. The men lead him to Iron Town.

Daigoro is fascinated by the technology and even helps out a little. Then Lady Nana tells him the history of the town. It's the same as in the movie, Lady Nana took in outcasts, they make iron by cutting down the forest to mine it, and that has caused conflict with the daimyō (It's Afo, and because we don't know his canon name, it's just Lord AFO). And Prince Mononoke was raised by wolves, causing him to hate humans.

Later that night, Hikage tries to kill Nana for shooting Mitsu, but Daigoro manages to tie him up and puts him on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. When the others try to fight back, he uses his strength to his advantage and literally jumps over the wall, but gets shot in the process. He's still strong enough to carry them to the forest before falling over.

Hikage wakes up and tries to stab him, but then Daigoro gets up, looks at him, and there is a long moment of silence before he shouts, "Damn, you look hot!" then passes out again. Hikage is so stunned he sits away in silence for the rest of the night.

As it turns out, Daigoro got healed by the Great Forest Spirit so Hikage decided to trust him. Meanwhile, both Nana and Torino desire the spirit's head to give to the emperor and set out to find it as they both want a reward. Torino wants money and Nana wants protection for the village.

Daigoro rushes back to Iron Town, after giving Hikage his brother's dagger, and sees that the boars tried to attack the village to avenge their dead comrade (Yoichi), only to be wiped out by Torino's mercenaries and Lord AFO's samurai are attacking the town. He finds another wolf being crushed by bodies and gets it out, encouraging the men to go home and help the women.

Meanwhile the boar clan's weak, old, blind leader, Toshinori, is tricked into leading Torino's mercenaries to the Great Forest Spirit (using the same, dressing in their dead pelts trick in the movie). Toshinori then ends up turning into a demon, and Hikage, who was trying to stop it, ends up getting swept up in the bloody tendrils. The Great Forest Spirit comes and causes both Toshinori and Mitsu to die.

Daigoro comes in and manages to pull Hikage out with his curse tendrils, but they both fall back into the lake. Meanwhile, the Great Forest Spirit is starting his Nightwalker transformation, so Nana shoots him, and manages to kill it, and Torino uses his speed to steal the head. It's a lucky thing that Daigoro and Hikage fell into the lake, as they managed to avoid the deadly ooze coming out of the spirit's body.

Hikage and Daigoro go to evacuate Iron Town then run after Torino, who has the head. They manage to convince him to give it back, and while the Great Forest Spirit still ends up dead, everything comes back to life, and Daigoro's curse is healed.

Daigoro wants to help the people of Iron Town, and Hikage, still distrustful of humans, elects to stay in the forest, so Daigoro promises to visit him. Torino leaves them alone and Nana promises to make the town better. The end.

I know I left a lot of things out, but then it would be too long, and besides, it's fun to see what people fill in the blanks with. That being said...

THIS WAS AN AMAZING MOVIE! I could write a whole essay post about this, but I'll spare you. I felt weird about this not being too different from the source material, but at the same time, that movie was so good, I don't want to change a whole lot. Even in an AU. Sorry about that. I hope you enjoyed this one anon!

#hikage shinomori #daigoro banjo #I'm not sure if this is very shippy but you can see it like that #Do they have a ship name?#hw ask game #look at me not turning Tomura into the elk. It was close though #but then I decided Second would be a better fit thanks to his hair color #jane's asks

Do you know what time it is.....celestial papa scenario 🎉

Warning no show accurate!!!!

As you started to get older you grew more distant from your farther in an attempt to leave old childish games behind in pursuit of new things. The first time you left the celestial toyroom was a shock,you had managed to find yourself on earth. So many professionals people in suits and straight faces of misery. It exsighted you,new wonders and adventure waiting for you at every turn.

You walked a little ways down the busling street until you made it to a small woodland,you watched as people ate picnics,walked dogs,rode bike it was extatic but was not the kind of thing you where looking for,you wanted something more professional,responsible and grown up. Something that needed to be nurtured and looked after something like-"hey" you spun round as you felt a hand on your left shoulder. It was a man that was about your age in high school maybe college,he gave you a sweet smile as he stood in front of you fumbling with his fingers.

"Hey I thought that you where cute and I wanted to get your number" you looked up at him with a blank expression as you listened to his words,your face headed up as he finished talking. "......a phone,oh yes a phone! I don't have one sorry...." you said feeling let down"thats fine,maybe you wanna go to a cafe with me...right now?" He asked sweetly and you couldn't help but nod your head.

He seemed sweet and harmless and you couldn't help but seem amused. Maybe it was part off your father that had rubbed off on you,yet you couldn't help yourself in finding some sort of sick pleasure entertaining his idea of even having a chance with you.maybe this was the entertainment you where looking for.

"Yes I would love that!"you followed my though the quaint little town as he told you about himself,his name was noah and he was from around here,as you sat in the little cafe you didn't order anything as you thought it would take away from the amount of Time you had to look into his eyes,"so what brings you around" quick thing of a lie "oh I justed moved here"

He reached over the table to hold your hand that layed on the smooth surfaces of the table. "well maybe after this I can walk you home" your face grew hot was a smilr coulfnt hrlp but tug at the corners of your lips.this what going to be so much fun the idea of letting this man down was practically thrilling.

oh shit,we where interuped by a voice on the right "oh no need she still has a lot of unpacking to do" you looked up to see your farther standing there with his arms crossed and brow furrowed, "dad I was just-" this clowm is your farther?" Noah said as he side eyed your farther. You did want to justify your actions to your farther but now given noahs interruption it seems all chance you had of getting out of this unscathed where out the window.

"Dad he didn't mean it-" "y/n I suggest we go home before I do something I will regret" you lowered your head as you slid out from the booth and your farther grabbing your hand quite harshly as dragging you out.

By the time you got home your embarrassment faded into anger. You ripped you had out from your fathers grip and glare at him."who could you embarras me that like!" You yelled it from the first time in your life.he gave you a cold stair and crossed his arms not taking to kindly to your attitude."y/n you have known better then to speak to some-" before your fathers could land any insults on your choice of men you spoke up."I don't care what you think!.I am not some little girl anymore! I can't take car off myself and make my own decisions! Ans I sure as hell don't need you to help me!" His frown parked as his eye boar hole into yours.

"Don't speak to me like that young lady I am your father-" with a burst off anger you shouted "BUT YOUR NOT!" your face felt red as the pace of your chest increased. Anger filled your fathers as you yelled at him."really?" He mocked as he stalked closer "who saved you from the streets when you where a child?" Your feet moved you back slightly as he got closer.he knew he was scaring you "who fed you? Bathed you? Loved you for all your worth!?" HE started to raise his voice and tears pricked into your eyes as your back collided with a set off draws. Stinging filled your hip as you put both your hands behind you back to hold and stable yourself.

"Who put up with your childish foolish antics for years! Who made the mistake off waisting there life trying to fix the mess you become!" You slid down the draw till you where onto the floor with stars poruing down your face. You sobbed as his words cut deep. You felt all the years do insurances fill you. "ME! I took care off you! When you didn't deserve my help! My guidance!" He loosed over you his hands dictating his words.

As you sobbed feeling broke inside as he yelled at you making you feel small and scared again look you did all those years ago. His words sliced at your skin leaving bring sensations across your body as your eyes burned as stars pooled in them spilling over the edge and down your face. He sighed kneeling down to your level. "You didn't deserve my help and somtim3w you seem to forget where you stand like when you stood all alone that night I took you in"

His yelling stopped as his hand gently cupped your face as your tried to flinch away. His cold hands burned more then your tears did no your face. "But I will always remind you where you stand in this world.i do it to protected you. To build you back ul again when you break" He was right,his words broke you and he was going to make sure he would rebuild you differently this time.more depened on him. Needing more off hid time and attion like when you where a little child still killing to his leg.

"I will put you back together again and nothing will stop em from doing so.becuas I love you y/n" He took your face his both his hands as he pressed his forehead against yours. Your teary eyes buring as you whee forced to look into his eyes. You broke down in open mouth sobbed as your clung to him hiding for face in his neck. He rubbed soothing patterns on your back as he hushed your sobbs.

He would do better to make sure you would be more dependent din him this time.

W e l p . That whole episode was a package & a half. Enough to make my own bucket list:

>If Mr. Mikazuki ever shows up outside of a flashback, he NEEDS to get decked at least. Dude is more drenched in hubris than the love child of a pair of Black Clover royals

>Akira, Shizuka, & Kencho all need some serious therapy after all this, good lord 😱

>Speaking of Shizuka... God, that was so hot of her to give Akira that big ol' "take the hint & flip your boss off" speech 😳

>Kosugi may not have died, but at least everyone left telling him to eat shit. And not the standard, solid shit. I'm talking the straight diarrhea you get after your 1st dose of caffeine in a month 😤

>AND ANOTHER THING about Shizuka... but it's just a personally enjoyed Fun Fact™. Turns out her Japanese VA is Tomori Kusunoki, who used to voice my favorite Love Live character, Setsuna Yuki, which single-handedly made me consider rewatching Zom 100 in Japanese and this ask is getting real long so i'll stop now 😅

Shizuka's dad is the sort of dude Asta would have humbled by the end of the episode and then she would have ended up in the illustrious Asta fan club.

After several sessions I want it all to culminate in that therapist bringing a zombie into the room and have everybody try to work out their differences.

"Hot Girl Summer" begins with Shizuka saying "fuck the system".

Kosugi is the type where if anything happens to him, and considering how hard he fell apart when a zombie got in the compound it will, it's all gonna be on him. No assistance or lack thereof will be needed.

Voice actor connections are always fun to discover because it sometimes feels like one big multiversal web. Like, what do you mean the dude that was willing to sacrifice his friends, his family and all of humanity is now running around in a boar's head after picking up gamer girls online?

Prithee tell us about your favorite visits to museums, firefly. It’s a long and silent January night and your stories will keep madness from us. (To be read in the voice of a Dickensian child of 6 years old, sitting before the hearth.) ☕️

hey hey!! :) my favorite seafaring vessel, a joy as always to meet u here. fret not, i will not let madness consume you! <3

(the context for the voice definitely helped, i most certainly did read it in the voice of a dickensian child. i can hear the crackle of the hearth as i pen these words!)

oh where to start! this is a bit of a brain dump, but is semi-chronological and images included in the order of discussion

first, summer of 2016, going to the hermitage and making puns about all of the art! they were not good puns. i believe my brother called the statue below a "boar"ing statue. it was quite hot since we went in summer and we were very surprised that the musuem had no ac since there is generally some to protect the art from the elements. so twas a very sticky and humor filled walk thru some art that has seen quite a lot (pic 1)

fall of 2018, went to the met's heavenly body's fashion exhibit with 2 friends from high school. i love & still go to musuem's w one of them, she's v sweet. the exhibit took place in the part of the museum that is older and looks like a church, so it was v prescient!! (pics 2-4, the leather jacket was so cool)

spring 2019, went to the met again (can u tell i went to college in nyc) and to the frick for my art history class to do a scavenger hunt for the class. quite honestly the most fun assignment ever. it was going through the museums and finding the art and writing about it. there were 50 or so things to find out. we went 3 times total for 3 sessions of the hunt. went w my dad for one, he has said he wants to do more even now

fall of 2019 i went to the met's instruments of rock n roll and saw instruments from a lot of famous musicians! i have a bunch of pics of them, but was v fun i went w my dad and got a bunch of music taste from him so that was cool. i was v amused by this many headed guitar hahaha (pic 5)

winter 2020 i went to a black tie gala in an art musuem so that was v fun & festive!!!

ok covid took a hit to this list so fall 2021! natural history musuem in london! went w my brother bc he was doing his masters same time as i was studying abroad there. i mean it's gorgeous. my brother is v interested in rocks so spent a while in the geology section! lots of cool rocks.

feb 2022, went to the met around my bday! my bf flew to visit me. saw very cool swords. pictured below!

summer 2022, went to the Louvre and the musee d'Orsay! saw the painting of dante and virgil in hell which was v cool, i have always loved that one.

for the sake of brevity, lets go to feb 2023, went to the whitney to see my fav artist edward hopper and an exhibit on him! went w the same friend as i went to the met in 2018 w. went w my brother too. fav exhibit ever probably, just bc i love hopper and i have included my fav painting by him, new york movie! my mom had a book on hopper growing up on our coffee table so always read it

oh my this is not brief. the fire is dwindling! ill stoke it.

this summer! the prado in madrid! i love goya so seeing his work was just so cool. they v sadly didnt allow photography in the museum but saw his black paintings the ones w saturn eating his children.

i hope my little tales help stave off the madness <33

#i just finished work & saw this & want u to kno i smiled #this took me so very long to write hahaha sorry i hope youre still awake #twas so fun!!#there r so many more museums too!!#i also wrote this to the country playlist u made me ty :')#ships tag

decided to do a sorta sloppy intro post for the ocs i haven't done a really proper intro for!! their pictures are in the voice claim vid underneath their intros/descriptions :P warning for some possibility sensitive topics with oc's backstories (warning: im not creative with a mass majority of these characters SORRY😭😭)

Jesse; a 24 year old bounty hunter. he/him gay transman (ftm) who's dating Rye. likes are fishing, writing in his journal, watching the sunset, Colt (adoptive father) and doing favours for those he cares about. dislikes are duels, collecting debts, long rides, skinning animals, and big cats

short backstory: Jesse had a neglectful house while growing up so as soon as he moved out he bettered himself by landing an early job working on a farm. the owner of the farm quickly took a liking for the young woman working there (this was before Jesse's transition) and started to try and start a romance. after many failed attempts he ended up sexual assaulting him. Jesse eventually got away after months by an attempt to strangle the man with fishing wire, which left him with permanent scars on his hands. after escaping Jesse quickly tossed himself into bounty hunting, proving that a woman could do the job just as well as a man. shortly he met Colt and the older man took the scared Jesse under his arm and started to teach him what his parents didn't. Jesse started his transition and Colt was supportive. A few years later he met Rye, and started their friendship

Rye; a 25 year old ex-outlaw. he/him bisexual cis man who's dating Jesse. likes hunting, taking care of horses, kisses from his boyfriend, praying mantises, and swimming. dislikes are barn chores, hot weather, snakes, and stuck-up lawmen

short backstory: Rye grew up without a mother so he was very close to his dad. at a young age he was hunting with his father when a boar snuck up on him, attacking him and giving him the scars on his right cheek. he luckily survived and had a pretty normal childhood after that. when he was 11 his father was shot and murdered in front of him by the law. Rye never knew his father was a hidden away criminal, so he immediately took the traumatic memory as the law was wrong. he joined a gang as soon as he could and started his journey of becoming a feared outlaw. years later he met Jesse while camping, showing him kindness. Jesse was the only thing Rye saw good in the law, so during their relationship he started to better himself and worked to pay off his debts

Colt; a 55 year old ex-sheriff. he/him straight but supportive cis man. likes taking naps, his wife, Jesse (adoptive son), dogs, and kissing wife. dislikes corrupted law, being forgotten, haircuts, and when his wife is mad at him

short backstory: Colt grew up with loving parents and literally everything was perfect for him when he joined the law at 22. throughout his job he took a young Jesse under his arm and taught him all he could. when he was 26 he was stabbed while trying to stop a bar fight, but he luckily survived. after months of healing he was refused his position as a sheriff due to his physical state. it was a hard blow to his pride as he knew he could still work, but thanks to finding his wife he was able to recover and lives his life happily with her, married and with their own house where they enjoy their days together (yes this is why he has Doc's voice because he was heavily based off him i love old men)

Val; an around 500 year old vampire. he/they pansexual poly cis man who's dating King. likes partying, doing illegal substances, doing the hanky panky, playing guitar, and dancing. dislikes the consequences of his actions, sticklers for the rules, cops, nail polish chipping off, and people refusing his advances

short backstory: Val doesn't remember anything of their upbringing, but he immediately spent his first years as a vampire fooling around and getting the hang of his powers. he dated someone named Arlo during his first 100 years, but after they outed the vampire to hunters, Val murdered Arlo in a fit of rage and disappeared. they developed trust issues that started the infamous playboy act. he joined a band run by a demon named King, and they shortly started dating. together they both work through their commitment issues and have a pretty healthy relationship. thanks to all the drinking of blood he does on drunk and drugged partiers, his vampiric powers are quite developed. they specialize in the manipulation of emotions, which he uses to make himself more alluring to people so they can drink blood. he also owns a 1963 Corvette Stingray that's possessed by a vampire ghost. DON'T ASK ABOUT THEM I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY WHAHHH. also he turns into a townsend big eared bat bat!!! :3

Chiffon; an around 300 year old vampire. they/them nonbinary asexual. likes video games, music, cats, jewelry and playing with their hair. dislikes loud music, certain fabrics, bugs, and drinking blood off people

The Temptation of the Immortals (6)

Warnings: cursing, canon typical violence for the Percy Jackson series, spoilers for the Percy Jackson series, nightmares, the gods being absent parents, references to Greek Mythology, mentions of starvation and trauma.

“Alexander, this way!” Grover ordered as the boar charged after them on the sidewalk. When Dionysus had contacted him to inform him that a potential demigod had been located in Chicago, Grover thought the God of Wine had lost whatever sanity he had left. The god wouldn’t reveal how he found out about the supposed demigod’s existence, just that he didn’t want the demigod to draw any more attention than he already had.

Grover had no idea what the god meant by that and regretted that he hadn’t pushed the god to explain what he meant by that sentence when Grover had contacted him this morning to request an extraction because he was certain that Alexander was a demigod and he could smell a monster tailing them.

“REET!” The boar squealed and Grover’s lungs began to burn. “This boar must have been taking cardio lessons in Tartarus.” The satyr thought dryly as he finally spotted the building that he was looking for.

“Over here!” He yelled, waving his hand in the direction that he wanted the boy to run in. Mercifully, Alexander heard him and seconds after Grover had run into the building, Alexander followed hot on his tail. Now that he was in a familiar area, Grover calmed down slightly. All he needed to do was find your office and….

“REEEEEEETTTTT!”

Or not.

The boar crashed through the entrance. It landed in a heap and Grover took advantage of the boar’s disorientation by wrapping his hand around Alexander’s upper arm and pulling him down the hallway at a speed that Grover didn’t think he was capable of. The satyr was concentrating so much on moving Alexander to your office where he would be safe that he nearly collided with you.

“Grover?”

“Thank the gods!” The satyr puffed, “Boar. In entrance. Chasing us.”

“Take him to Piper’s office and lock yourselves in.”

“NO! I WANT TO STAY WITH YOU NOT MR. UNDERWOOD!”

You knelt down and placed your hands on Alexander’s shoulders, “It’ll be okay. I need you to call your dad from Piper’s office and stay there until I tell you that it’s safe to come out. This is important. Do you understand?”

Alexander crossed his arms over his chest, “Don’t wanna.”

“REEEEETTTT!”

“Please Alexander. Tell me that you understand.”

Alexander turned away and refused to look at either of you. You sighed and shook your head but did not move.

“I understand,” Alexander muttered sullenly.

“Grover?”

“On it.”

The satyr and the demigod sprinted to Piper’s office and Grover wrenched open the door. He didn’t have time to dwell on the alarmed expression on the other demigod’s face before he launched into an explanation of how the boar had escaped from the zoo that they were visiting and pursued them down the streets of Chicago. All throughout Grover’s explanation, the squeals of the boar rattled the windows until it let out an ear splitting, final squeal that had Grover wondering whether the windows would hold.

“Is it over?” Piper asked.

Grover listened for any sound that would indicate the boar was still alive and just biding its time. When he didn’t hear any sound that hinted the boar was still alive, he let out a sigh of relief, “I think it’s over. The boar is dead.”

Piper closed her eyes and Grover remembered too late that she was vegetarian, “It didn’t suffer and it was a monster boar so it could return,” he tried.

“Can I call my dad now?” Alexander piped up.

Piper had barely moved her chair a few inches to the right to give Alexander some space to use the phone when another roar sounded in the museum. This roar sounded more like it came from a man.

“Or a god,” Piper disagreed and Grover realised he had voiced his thought by accident.

“(Name) needs help!” Alexander darted around Piper’s desk and towards the closed door.

“NO ALEXANDER!” Grover yelled but it was too late. The only thing he and Piper could do was go after the boy. Piper sped through the corridors with Grover only half a step behind her. Fortunately, they caught up to Alexander quickly.

Unfortunately, their footsteps had drawn the attention of the god who had let out the bellow and he used the distraction to smack you with the blade of his sword which sent you sprawling at the feet of the statue of Hades.

“So, this is Aphrodite’s latest special brat.” Ares sneered walking towards the two demigods and the satyr with his sword drawn.

“Go away. I don’t like you.”

Ares chuckled menacingly, “You got guts kid. I’ll give you that. Shame they’re not going to be of any use to you. You could’ve been powerful with that charmspeak ability.”

“Please get up (Name).” Alexander whimpered when he saw your prone form and Ares drew closer still, “I need help.”

Piper drew her dagger and pulled Alexander behind her. She raised her blade into the air at the war god, “Get back.” She ordered.

Ares guffawed, “What harm can that little twig do to me?”

“My dagger’s not going to do anything to you.”

“Exactly.”

“I just needed your attention on me to give (Name) time to stand up.”

Ares twisted around to see that Piper was right, “You never faced any consequences for keeping Hades’ helm away from him for as long as you did, did you?”

“It’s in the past. Old corpse breath doesn’t care about that anymore.”

“I think you’re wrong.”

“It doesn't matter what you think. I am a god and my word is law!” Ares boomed.

“Once again, you’re wrong. Did you forget that all gods and goddesses have a mental connection to their statues? Hades may have shrugged off the feeling of me colliding with it but I doubt that he’s going to be so quick to dismiss the fact that you did not return his helm as quickly as you should’ve.”

Ares stepped forwards and the ground underneath him cracked. The cracks grew rapidly until there was a big enough hole for a man to fall in but the god was standing on the edge. He could just as easily step back and avoid the hole. Grover’s hand fell to his pocket and he pulled out his pipes. While the god of war was distracted by the hole that had appeared, Grover blew into the pipes and played a wind tune. A gust of air propelled itself through the partially open window and slammed into the god, knocking him down into the hole. As soon as the god had fallen far enough, the cracks closed and the hole disappeared.

Alexander sped over to you, wrapping his arms around your legs, “You’re okay.”

“I warned you to stay away from the Kneef family.”

OC post July 10th 2023:

My desire to make nsfw comics is entirely fueled by an insanely indepth furry college COB au I got where it's just a bunch of drama. but they're furries. because i want them to be.

anyway, fun thoughts about college au stuff:

Theron: He's a boar, obviously. Got into college on a sports scholarship, is a freshman but already the quarterback. Extremely skilled and pursued sports because it's what his late dad always wanted him to. is SUPER repressed about his homosexuality from growing up in a conservative christian household.

Dominic: He's a cat. freshman. Doesn't know what he's majoring in and went to college for the experience. He is however in several photography classes and ""helps"" with the university newspaper as a photographer. He's, funnily enough, not as repressed and in denial about his sexuality (He's got two dads, Cicero and his partner Hugh). He does however like to keep it to himself due to bullying from kids throughout his life. He's got the equivalent of an onlyfans.

Mattias: He's a weasel. Freshman. He's majoring in game design or some shit. Most of his stuff is entirely the same is canon. He meets Theron in an Intro to Anthropology class because they're forced to be on a project together. Already kinda had a crush on him cause football players hot. He's also roommates with Dominic, which sucks for him <3

Ava: She's a poodle. freshman. Best friends with Mattias still, they knew each other before they went to college. She's a fine art's major. She's almost entirely the same as canon though, I haven't thought much how she fits into this au because she is acearo and since this is mostly for nsfw you understand how it's a little hard to figure that out.

Nerissa: She's a doe. Junior. Insane repressed lesbian vibes still. She's going to med school because that's what her parents want her to do, but she wants to do something else. I haven't thought a lot about her either but I know that her and Kiera (who's a wolf) have crazy lesbian sex. and it's really great and good <3

BC Next Gen Winter Thoughts

I've got some thoughts about how my next gen ocs would spend their winter days/celebrate Christmas. And now I'm gonna share them!

..........

The Cresswells: Jill and Daniel go out winter camping with their parents. Mama Cresswell knows some good recipes made with wild greens. Jack and Jill hunt a nice juicy boar to roast over a fire. Daniel would use his magic to make new jewelry for his mom and sis and a new cloak clasp for his dad.

The elves: Patry’s family would visit the Vangeance household for one. The men’s shared birthday is actually the main reason with Christmas coming second. Andrea (Alfried's mom) would find her way to attend and give Patry something nice from afar. She definitely spoils all the kids, especially Alfred, with gifts. Alfred uses his Shield Magic to let everyone snowboard. Elfrieda likes making snow men and snow angels (and she will stay up late to catch Santa). Avery would get knickknacks for his squad mates (curiously not having enough money to buy Caelum a gift... how convenient).

The Vermillions: Leoray and Mereoleona go hunt some wild game to bring to the Vermillion Christmas Dinner! Ray would probably give Uncle Fue one of her old training journals because she knows he’d appreciate something that holds memories and logs a person’s path to improvement. Uncle Leo is the one who gave Ray her pet boa constrictor King for Christmas.

The Silvas: There's a BIG House Silva Christmas celebration. Noelle was very clear when she said she’d only come back home for Christmas if the family put in effort for a Christmas party. And by the time the kids are all around, they’ve gotten the hang of it. The original Silva sibs created a tradition of doing a magic show for a randomly selected orphanage, to give the kids entertainment for the holiday. The big finale is always Solid vs Noelle magic display where the kids vote who is the better mage (them sharing the same attribute makes it easy to compare). Noelle’s winning streak is currently at 12. Nebra jokes that Noelle having kids is what's made her so strong. Chalivas and Elana are very strict with Soleil and Skylar about no pranks during the holidays. No ifs, ands, or buts! The servants who work shifts during the holidays don’t need more stress! Elana does go along with Skylar to sneak into the kitchens and "help" the staff prepare the Christmas feast. But all they ever do is taste everything being made. Not that the servants mind. Elana is a little picky but Skylar loves everything! Because they're royals, the gifts exchanged are either classy or niche/weird. Asta and Noelle once got the elder Silvas wine glasses shaped like them. Everyone, literally everyone, was laughing for so long. Those gaudy glasses are on display and the servants love snickering at them. The kids coming along makes things calm down, a little. Eirlys always writes a poem to go with whatever gift she gives the others. Aecor has this eerie ability to get everyone exactly what they want without them ever saying. No one knows how he does it (even me). The first gift Filomina ever gave was a big, sloppy family picture that Noelle will fight to preserve. Nozel, Nebra, and Solid are so embarrassed by it because why did Filo draw them with bird heads? The Astelle family spends Christmas Eve at House Silva but Christmas Day in Hage. Father Orsi’s gift to the kids is a story from a Christmas past with Asta and Yuno. But also tatoe recipes or little trinkets to carry with them. The tears of that man and the parents when the kids put on their first little Christmas concert for the church. Filomina really did sing like an angel.

The Voltia-Swings: In winter, Luck, Magna, and Jesse play in the snow so much! They all run hot so the cold barely gets the them! Sledding in a favorite for Jesse. Luck sometimes comments "And you'll be going even faster than that once you learn how to use your magic like me! Exciting, huh?" Christmas is a day devoted to fun for the Voltia-Swings. Joking around and singingly horribly while they make breakfast/lunch. Taking ridiculously long times to choose what present to open next. The fathers playing with Jesse's new toys. Of course Magna and Luck also take Jesse out to visit friends and they're just so soft for seeing their little girl happily sharing her toys and playing with friends. She doesn't have the most luxurious life but it's better than what either of them grew up with. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are also the two days out of the year where Jesse always shares a bed with her parents. Until she moves out, Christmas is the snuggling days for their little family.

The Enotecas (and Selen): For Christmas while Cynthia is still little, Selen takes her and Vanessa out for a fun joy ride. Maybe he's a giant wolf or a polar bear or caribou. Runs through the snow with the gals on his back. Giving them an experience humans can't really have. They go out to a spot in the woods/mountains without any human settlements to enjoy a view of the night sky that's so beautiful. Maybe Cynthia gets a chance to meet some wild critters. Vanessa thanks Selen every year for doing what he does with Cynthia. The two of them aren't in love but they do love their daughter. When Cynthia's older, she makes a tradition of bringing wool thread and other good insulators out into the woods and leaving it in places for birds and other nest building animals to find so they have something to make their homes even better. The animals see Cynthia as one of their own by the time she's got her grimoire.

The Yamis: The Yamis spend Christmas together, the four of them. Sukehiro cooks up some warm, Hino style stew to enjoy around a fireplace. Charlotte makes some cinnamon hot chocolate. Saki grows some poinsettias and mistletoe for decorations. Blue, red, black, and white roses decorate as well. Ann makes a tradition of reading olf Christmas folklore, the heartwarming and the heart-stopping. I imagine that the Yamis can ice skate. When the girls were small, Sukehiro guided them around like they were doing a little dance on the ice. When they’re older, they can skate on their own. Then one year, a gift is delivered to Saki. It’s a full set of matching jewelry with a black rose theme. Beautiful and expensive. Sukehiro was really confused but all the women seemed to know who it came from.

The Adlais: The Adlais, along with Auntie Marie, go out for a winter stroll. They’ve got baskets and thermoses of hot drinks with them. Grey and Marie attract the wild critters like a couple of Cinderellas. Clara spots and picks some wild winter berries. While Silver and Clara are really young, Gauche would carry them on his back when they got tired. The stroll ends at an empty field where they lay out thick blankets and have a picnic out there. Grey and Marie work together to make the best Christmas feast. Gauche and the kids are in charge of dessert. I also imagine Gauche gets into the habit of making his gifts for the family. Wood carved dolls or knitted scarves. He's a secret artist, only for his family though. He spent so much money on gifts for Marie in the past but in the future, he learns how to make presents really meaningful by hand crafting them.

The Roulacases (featuring @sailor-muno's oc Mallory): The Roulacase family wears the ugliest sweaters you will ever see! Mallory picked them all out herself (even got one for Finesse so she can pose with her space sons). Actually, Lukian helped pick them. Finral can hardly keep a straight face with his on (in a good way); he loves how enthusiastic Mallory looks when she can find matching sweaters. Caelum is beet red wearing his but Dawn thinks it’s cute and is a little jealous so he would eventually give his sweater to her. Raphael is happy to wear an ugly sweater if it means driving away people that would usually flirt with him. Amarielle is running around showing all her friends and the family friends her sweater because she thinks her is adorable (and it is! Ugly cute!). Theodore laments his is a little scratchy but thinks it’s fun and knows its how his mom shows her love.

The Fausts: I imagine the Faust kids being a bit musical in their free time so special occasions in the Faust family is celebrated with music. The Faust family plays some songs together, just for themselves. If they go in public though, they would go dancing. Josele loved dancing with Morgen and loves to dance with Nacht so she wants to pass on that love to her kids. Nacht lets his daughters stand on his toes while dancing with them. Dusk and Sirius would also offer dances to their sisters. Josele and Nacht definitely have the last dance before the whole family goes home. Christmas dinners are feasts for the family. Josele takes the children out hunting and foraging for wild ingredients. Nacht and the devils then take over in leading the cooking effort. Josele sometimes joins in on the cooking but Nacht usually convinces her to rest so they split the job evenly. A creamy rabbit stew is the most common Christmas dinner with sides of roasted greens and berry jams and sweet rolls (the only thing store bought). When it comes to gifts, Sterling promises not to use her magic to know what she gets ahead of time. She also refrains from using her magic to determine what gifts are "correct." She goes with her gut and it's hit or miss. Sirius has the best record with gift giving, seeming to always get perfect gifts. Dawn has a gift of giving everyone the same thing (giving everyone books, but one suited to each person). Dusk obsessively keeps receipts in case someone doesn't like a gift and he insists on getting them a new one. Merel is the type to make gifts, she learns from Josele and Gauche how to craft. Vivian tends to get more daring, "I thought you could be interested in this" types of gifts.
