Hello!!! I know we don’t interact too much, but I was wondering if I could get Chrysos’ opinion on Allegra? Idk. I love ur rendition on Ursula’s Necklace! And I love his curls!!!!!!

hiiii!!!!

"I look forward to working with you, Mahalath."

so by default chrysos holds respect for his upperclassmen, especially those of his own dorm -- i mean he's really getting into the whole deal-making thing but we can talk about that laterrrr

now im just going off of what i see but in regards to allegra's supposed lack of empathy? i feel like that's not something chrysos would mind too much, or view it as a particular problem (unless it becomes HIS problem) because it has nothing to do with him; so i think i could sum this all up as positive neutrality unless given an important reason otherwise

(also my own thoughts as a bonus: allegra the scrunkly of all time wow <3 i love the creative take on the necklace. ....... also i just noticed the correlation between 'doll-collecting' and his UM ... )

I hate that old man as much as anyone

But

Au where Gerald was smarter and not completely blinded by grief and when he sees that his grandson, the last of the robotniks beside him someone who was alone who is desperate for family in a way Maria never was (in a way that Maria would have been heartbroken had she known her cousins fate), has something going on with that assistant of his (his grandson is definitely fruity but the Greeks were somewhat too so as odd as he finds it he doesn't completely despise the idea) and realizes that it might interfere with his plans if he doesn't take it into account.

So he does.

He compliments and tolerates ivos clinginess while also trying to bring Stone into it. At first under the excuse of getting to know ivo better from the man that knows him best but then as a weird sorta supportive sorta judgemental relative would to their family members boyfriend when trying to make friends.

Stone is weirded out but ivo latches onto it because this is grandpappy liking Stone and Stone is his favorite human so that's a great sign right. Cue Gerald lowkey telling shadow to keep Stone close and safe because they need him to keep ivo on their side.

So when the crab floods shadow grabs Stone and takes him with to the robotniks and the four of them end up on the cannon.

Up for debate if robotnik would still wanna save the world if Stone was by his side instead of on it or if he would just wait long enough for shadow to be gone before telling Stone that maybe it's time for grandpappy to take a nap.

more karkat… pls ur karkat keeps my youth or aomething… heart emoji…

fruity ass crab why are you standing like that!!!

[chimkin-samich]

are your sun and moon mermen omnivores? or carnivores? i don't imagine those claws and sharp teeth are for eating kelp. x3

i ask simply because it's mango season and if i was tari, i don't know if i'd be able to stop myself from sharing my fruity lunch with those clingy boys♥

Their omnivores leaning heavily towards carnivore!

So they mainly hunt and dig for crabs and oysters and others like that but they can eat vegetation

Sun is very much a sweets guy so he would LOVE mangos, Eclipse varies on his mood and Moon does so to give his diet variation but he would prefer more spicy things or sour like fruits like lemon and orange

[noa-nightingale]

A list of (some of) the things I liked about the new Steven/Andrew/Adam ep. :)

(The Fried Rice ep. Please watch it, it is so lovely! <3)

Steven's hair. That red(ish) tint.

Adam silently showing up in the beginning. ("Ah. The third fried rice has arrived.")

Adam in the back of the car in his Sesame Street-esque sweater.

The sun on Steven's face while he is driving. So pretty.

"I love an intergenerational story." (Steven) That made me a bit emotional, for some reason.

That huge tub of rice at Combo A! Hnghgngh!

"It's Chinese food. You gotta have MSG."

MSG history lesson! :)

I love the Travel Season notebook.

The tiny little clip at Holy Basil where Steven is feeding Andrew. It's blink-and-you-miss-it but it is there. At 8:48. And I will cherish it forever.

It is always so fascinating to watch an experienced cook working.

The "Cheers, Steven" is back!

"I love when rosemary gets to have a little fruity vacation somewhere." (Andrew) Rosemary deserves a little fruity vacation tbh. 💅

Steven saying "I love you" to the fried rice. <3

Andrew talking about the spoon while Steven completely zones out after drinking the spicy sauce.

Steven's ~spicy~ noises lmao.

"I still can't believe a crab fried that rice." (Adam)

Always fun to light drinks on fire. :3

The crunchy, crispy parts of the rice. 😭

"Why do you love me?" Lmao.

They fed Adam!

Them at the end reflecting on their experiences while Steven is driving in the dark. It's beautiful.

I love this show. I love how it puts the focus on different cultures and people. I love the style of the show and how much heart is put into it.

Just don't watch it hungry lol.

Sunday Snippet

thank you for the tag @rae-lune!

Here's a little snippet from next weeks chapter of don't look much like a lover (doesn't mean that i won't try):

It is far too early when Sirius is disturbed from his slumber, the sky outside the living room windows streaked with orange and pink, and he feels like he’s been hit by a truck as obnoxiously loud music plays from somewhere nearby.

“The fuck?” he slurs, squinting one eye open as he peers around, horrified to realize that he has his arms wrapped around the crab pillow, hugging it tightly to his chest. It gets shoved to the floor before he sits up with a grunt, rubbing at the side of his head as his stomach protests any and all movement. “Where the fuck is that coming from?”

The music is slightly muffled despite how loud it is, sounding vaguely familiar as he groans and he pushes himself off the couch. He stumbles slightly before he wanders towards the kitchen and chugs a glass of water, which does not sit well at all, putting his hand over his mouth as he burps and swallows down the nausea rising in his stomach. His phone is on the counter, clinging to its last three percent of battery, and when he looks up from the slew of missed texts from James his mouth falls open.

AND, here's a little sneak peak at my still unnamed sapphic wolfstar college au one-shot, since I already posted the first line this morning, which will hopefully be finished in the upcoming weeks:

“I have something I wanted to ask you,” Sirius says with a coy smile, swiping her into her bedroom and cracking the door open, sticking her foot in the small gap so that it won’t lock and close again, and Remus glances down briefly at her maroon painted toenails sticking out the top of her fuzzy slipper. “You have a car, right?”

“Mhm,” she answers distractedly, hiking the strap of her bag up on her shoulder before she reaches out to put her hand on the door, pushing it wide open so that the edge isn’t digging into the side of Sirius’ foot. “Yeah, why?”

Sirius sinks her perfectly straight white teeth into her plush bottom lip, leaning forward until they’re nearly touching, close enough that Remus can smell the scent of whatever products she’s wearing. She’s lost in a cloud of vanilla and coconut and something fruity, her head spinning a little as she breathes it in. “Would it be possible for me to bother you for a ride tomorrow? I promise I’ll give you gas money and buy you lunch.”

Remus licks her lips and blinks a few times, thinking that she really should have expected that, eyes glued to the way Sirius is winding the lanyard on her keys around her fingers, the little flecks of glitter in her nail polish catching in the light.

no pressure tagging, and if you want to participate but haven't been tagged, consider this your invitation!

Syrup and Salt

Mulder and Scully enjoy an evening somewhere warm and sandy.

Read on AO3

Everything smells like salt. Her hair. His hair. Their clothes. The condo they’ve rented for the next two glorious weeks. The air inside and outside every building they have been in so far. The towels they toted down to the beach and the bag they stuck the towels in. The red swim trunks he wore in the ocean. Her black tankini and the sunhat she used to protect her porcelain skin when she wasn’t in the ocean, laughing with him. Her hair. Her hair. Her hair–

“Mulder. You’re going to get hair in your lungs if you keep that up.”

He chuckled, inhaling one last, deep breath of the salt clinging to Scully’s red curls before he pulled back to give her a smile. 

“Sorry. You’re just…” he trailed off, lost for words. Instead, he reached up and took one of her curls in his fingers. She smiled back.

He liked her curls. She usually styled it so neatly for work, but the humidity here had inspired (or, perhaps, forced) her to let her hair revert to its natural state. He’d seen it so rarely before that the sight had enchanted him and he was struggling to focus on anything else. 

Scully shifted in their hammock, resting her head on his shoulder. “We should head to dinner soon.”

“Yeah, we should.”

Neither of them moved.

“We really should.”

“Yeah.”

The ocean waves shushed quietly somewhere nearby. No other sound interrupted it. 

“I’m getting up now.” Scully said without even twitching a muscle. 

“Me too. I’m going to get dressed.” Mulder pulled her closer, holding her more tightly.

It was half-an-hour before they finally dragged themselves from the comfort of the sea breeze and swaying hammock. They dressed quickly – Scully in a sundress and Mulder in shorts and a tee – and walked down the beach to their restaurant.

The Pelican Stand had caught their eye on their drive to the condo; it boasted a large, seaside porch, a huge selection of seafood, and a cute pelican mascot on the sign that had made both of them smile. They had decided immediately that it would be their first dinner location for this trip. 

Despite their procrastination in leaving their hammock and solitary peace, they seemed to have arrived early at the restaurant and beat the dinner rush. They were seated immediately and Mulder put in an order for a couple of fruity drinks that had clever, pelican-themed names.

“Want an appetizer?” Mulder studied the menu a little too close to his face. He’d left his glasses at home since “we won’t need glasses in the ocean.” He now regretted that statement.

“The fries sound good.” Scully flipped her menu over, holding it at a fairly normal length from her face as she peered through her prescription sunglasses (Mulder really needed to update his health insurance plan). “Looks like they come with crab dip.”

Mulder grinned. “Scully, you read my mind.” The waitress came over with their drinks and then headed back off to put in their order for crab dip fries. 

Scully leaned over the back of her chair, taking off her sunglasses and watching the ocean as she sipped her drink. The shimmering blue waves reflected in her eyes and the wind played with her hair, drawing Mulder’s attention to it again. With a smile, he pulled a small camera out of his pocket.

“Hey, Scully.”

Just as she turned to look at him, a smile playing on her lips, he snapped a picture. She smiled even more widely as she realized what he was doing.

“Mulder…” she chuckled.

“I’m just capturing memories.” He grinned. “Maybe we can make a scrapbook later.”

She reached out and took his hand in hers. “Sure, but I don’t think I’m ever going to forget this.”

Mulder squeezed her hand. “I don’t think I will, either. But maybe I want to keep some pictures anyway.”

“Fair enough.” Scully smiled even more brightly, the low sun turning her skin golden and her hair to fire. She leaned over and, gently, captured his lips with hers.

Mulder smiled into the kiss. She tasted like syrup and salt. One of her curls brushed his cheek.

He set his camera down and held her face instead.

BEACH DAY WITH THE GHOULS + COPIA!

I have been so excited to share this! It took waaaay longer than expected the write. I’m so sorry for the long wait but here it is!

Rain

This fish is running to the water as soon as they arrive at the beach. He is so excited to be at the beach seeing how he in a saltwater ghoul. He also brought his surfboard with them, eagerly anticipating riding the waves. After he gets his fill of surfing he heads to deeper waters. He dives down and just chills on the sea floor for a few minutes. They find all sorts of stuff on the sea floor like kelp, starfish, urchins, crabs, fish and sea anemones. Eventually he returns to the shore with many shiny stones. He gives everyone these little stones

Phantom

Phantom Is just digging giant hole. Not a small one inch deep hole, it’s one that you can full on climb in. Phantom’s got a shovel and a dream of finding treasure and that’s all he needs. And the shovel isn’t one of those dinky little plastic shovels He actually stole one of the real garden shovels from the ministry. Phantom does eventually have to stop digging for treasure after copia got on to him about the giant hole being a safety hazard. He sulks for a few minutes before joining Sodo in making a sand castle. His off getting buckets of water whenever sodo needs some for the castle mote and building material such as shells, sea weed, and rocks.

Sodo

Sodo is here for one thing and one thing only, and that is to build the perfect sand castle. He has a tiny shovel and a bucket beside him, and his focus is unparalleled. He even built a big mote with the help of phantom. Soon he and phantom noticed cirrus and mountain building a sand castle not too far from them. The second sodo sees them the competition is on. He starts making a hole ass sand kingdom. The war is vicious as the two sand kingdoms fight vigorously.

Cirrus

Cirrus originally was swimming / floating with the other ghouletts sitting in matching tubes, fruity drinks in hand, Just chitchatting. But then out of the corner of her eye she noticed sodo and phantom making a sand castle and thought “I am going to go cause chaos”and immediately got to work. Cirrus now is building an elaborate sand kingdom with Mountain who she somehow convinced to help her. She lays out the plan for their kingdom and they are determined to outdo Sodo and Phantom.

Mountain

Don’t get mountain wrong he loves beach trips, he really does! He however doesn’t like all the sand that sticks to his skin. He does enjoy seeing all the other ghoul having a blast. Eventually though the sounds of the beach make him sleepy. he closes his eyes. He listens to the waves cashing against the sand. The sounds of his pack mates excitement, the birds chirping. But soon his peace is interrupted when cirrus walks over where he is lounging. She asks him to help her make a sand castle. He tries to turn down her offer until she uses his weakness against him…forehead kisses! so after that he reluctantly joins her in the sand war. After an hour and a half of non stop kingdom building they get bored.. yeah they get bore! It’s the mont anticlimactic end but you can’t blame them they don’t have that good of a attention span, it’s lucky they even made it this far. but eventually they come to a truce. And after the all that hullabaloo mountain finally can take his peaceful beach nap.

Aurora

She starts out the day tube floating with the ghoulettes until cirrus left to start some drama. The rest of the group dissolve not long after that to do there own things. Aurora ends up doing all kinds of crafts. She brought paint with her and is painting on sea shells that a given to her and, ones she finds. She’s making cute little sun catcher with sea glass, sea shells, and driftwood. Aurora also makes some seashell candles with the help of sodo once he’s done with his sand war. She’s got him to heat up the wax while she put wicks in the shells. Ones she crafts till her harts content she gets in the water again and starts playing Marko polo with the other ghouls.

Cumulus

Cumulus brought a hand full of books and has layed out a beach towel in the perfect sun bathing spot. She made sure to bring a horror mystery book that cirrus lent her earlier that week. She lies on her towel, occasionally glancing up to enjoy the view. She especially loves listening to an ocean waves as she reads. After she fishes the book she goes and takes a dip to cool down. She later joins Aurora in collecting sea glass and shells, contributing tidbits she finds interesting to Aurora's crafts.

Swiss

Swiss is playing volleyball with anybody who joins. Multiple ghouls throughout the day play a couple of games before needing a break from the direct sun. All except sodo (when he joins him) who is enjoying the sun just as much as Swiss. Once he gets bored of volleyball he’s running to the water and challenging anyone to a chicken fight. Eventually he convinces sodo rain and cirrus to join him. Rain on cirrus shoulders, and sodo on Swiss’s shoulders. It was a vicious battle but eventually he and sodo won three out of five. They both were super obnoxious about their win the rest of the day.

Copia

Copia is siting on his beach chair under his umbrella relaxing with big shades on. Every now and again a ghoul will come bring him a trinket and he’ll obviously act like . He’s got a pile of shells painted and not, sand dollars, sea glass, driftwood, pretty rocks and a couple small fish rain hunted for him. He also has a trash bag full of plastic and other litter the ghouls had picked up. He periodically look up to make sure the ghouls haven’t gotten them selfs in to trouble. And he most certainly will have to get the ghouls out of trouble, be it phantom and his treasure hunt, or rain catching to many fish. But overall copia would say is was a successful beach day
