For the backstory promt:

I like to think that both Scar and Cleo came from the same server - The Crafting Dead

They sometimes stumbled upon eachother and traded resources, so you could say they were friends

Thankfully Scar escaped alive and, somewhat, well

He was terrified to learn that Cleo didn't escape that much alive

It's horrific, seeing her infected and zombified just like the hordes they used to fight against. The fact she retained her mind helps, but brings up more existential questions...

Long-Distance date/bonding ideas I've learned while making it work with my femme

Streamed Movie Night: Discord has a function that let's you stream video and gaming alike! I'd recommend Nitro because otherwise stream quality is gonna SUCK (and you need to do some weird fiddling to get services like Netflix to work) but you can enjoy movie night with your boo

Tabletop Simulator: If you both have about $20, and a computer with even a low budget graphics processor, this program is invaluable. The base games are neat but the real trove is in the Steam Workshop. Mod makers upload hundreds of boardgames from Catan to Azul to outright heavy ones like D&D and Warhammer. My femme and I now have a weekly boardgame night (she actively challenges me at strategy games and it makes me so happy to have a partner that does 🥰)

Coffee shop dates: Go to a place where the shop has wifi (or you have a really good data plan with your phone), pop your headphones in, and just video call. I promise you, there will be more people there who find it sweet than those who find it weird.

Spotify Jam Sessions: I don't know about other music apps, but we both have spotify and it now has a function that let's you invite others to a shared listening session. Music is really important to both my femme and myself, and the ability for us to literally listen at the same time and talk about the music is truly quite lovely.

Parallel crafting time: Admittedly, I'm Neurodivergent as hell, and parallel play baseline is big for me. But pop on a videocall and make some crafts together. Bonus points if you get similar materials and share what you've made together

Call every night: no seriously, even if you both are busy the entire day and can't talk, call for at least a half hour or so to round your day off. That lack of certain forms of intimacy means you need to be really on top of other forms. On top of affirming love for one another. If you're trying to make long distance work long term, calling to just. Be with eachother is so important.

Schedule Time: As an extension of the above, just because you're calling every day, doesn't mean ensuring you have dedicated time for eachother isn't important. I'm talking like. An afternoon/evening once a week type thing. Be together for a long period of time while you can't be physically together.

Technology has honestly made what I always thought impossible for myself feel possible. The advent of videocalling my femme every day helps so much of the potential pitfalls that could have happened, and the best part is its more or less free (I pay for discord nitro but I digress). Don't get me wrong I'm having my hard days still. The inability to hold her when I want to take care of her is particularly bad. I show care and love through things like physical touch and food so much. But getting creative, and being consistent have really made this feel possible and sustainable until we get to the "next stages" bridge.

If you have ideas you found fun/helpful please toss em in the replies, tags, etc. Always open to more date ideas with my girl 💕

Technical world building/lore HC:

Hogwarts ghosts are different from some Infinite Realms ghosts. Everything has a balance, because of their magic in life, magic users can only become shades/echos in death. 

They are much weaker and are permanently intangible and see through. They only have enough ecto to be seen and heard and even that will take a while after their death for them to be visible. So in other words, weaker than a blob ghost, which Danny didn’t think was possible, while being more intelligent. (Can Hogwarts ghost touch each other? If so they obviously can do that too)

*It is possible for a magic wealder to become an Ancient but it’s very rare. This leaves room for MOD Harry who is like Danny in the sense that he’s not quite alive but not quite dead, while Danny is both at the same time. They’re both in the middle in different ways.*

Peeve’s is a poltergeist and is above a blob ghost (even if he can’t touch something directly). He can affect the world around him through telekinesis and I think he can summon stuff. All poltergeists are neverborns, but not all neverborns are poltergeists. Neverborns are ecto-entities that are born in the Realms, they were never alive in the Overworld, like Boxed Lunch.

If Ecto is the energy of the dead then magic is the energy of the living. Ghosts do have Magic but it’s just a different brand and anyone who is dead or liminal can use it. It’s something anyone who relies on ectoplasm can learn, not just certain people like with living peoples magic.  

How does ectoplasm and magic react? It’s a negative reaction, it’s 2 opposite energies that don't want to clash. They cancel eachother out at most and make an explosion at worst. It’s not that they can’t be around eachother, in fact tech embedded with ecto works in magical spaces, but you wouldn’t be able to use magic on a ghost, they’re immune to most magic. Honestly magic users get the shorter end of the stick, but boo-woo causes the ghost is literally dead. Magic can affect a ghost but that falls on the necromancy side of magic and it’s a “dark magic”, magic won’t have a longer term effect on ghosts unless it goes for a ghost’s core. It takes powerful magic for that though and again, “dark” magic. But ghosts do have a harder time overshadowing magi’s and can’t do it at all to those who have mental shields.

This is of course a gray area with Halfas because they are in a gray area between life and death. Halfas can only use living magic in human form, but can use dead magic in either form, that is if they have living magic in the first place.

Story prompts:

Fair warning: I love Dani/Elle Phantom

Pre-Hogwarts ideas: 

Lily and James take extra precautions on their safety and enlist the help of a protector spirit, a.k.a., Danny. Young Adult Danny Fenton raises Harry<3 If you want traumatized Harry, the conditions of the protection is when Harry is in mortal danger (it didn’t trigger on Halloween because Lily had her own protection in place so Harry wasn’t in mortal peril that night *never too careful, constant vigilance*, where she gave her life) and Danny’s protection was triggered by a very bad beating from Vernon that probably led to an infection.

Dani finds Harry alone on a playground, Harry over shares, Dani scopes him up and his like, “your coming home with me” Harry joins her in her travels and enjoys himself. Danny is like, “Elle what the fuck” and starts sending extra money to support both of them and Harry’s more human needs. They do street magic to earn extra money, gets better once Harry finds out he can talk to snakes. The everlasting trio and Jazz really do try their best in giving them a good education with their travels but they only visit Amity for a week every 2 months. But Harry does enjoy reading and Dani thinks he’s crazy and prefers math. It all changes when Harry gets his Hogwarts letter. Danny decided to adopt them both (he’s turned 18 at this time, Dani ages slower (artificial halfa/clone/ghost thing) and is still physically 13-14 when she meets Harry at 9, so they’ve been together for 2 years.

Math:2=1 years for Elle| D=14 E=12, D=16 E=13 H=9, D=18 E=14 H=11) 

To make Harry going into Hogwarts easier, Dani haunts Harry at Hogwarts.

While traveling Elle finds baby Harry freezing to death on a doorstep. Petunia doesn’t want Harry and says Elle can have him if she’s so concerned about him. Elle is a young adult by this point.

Elle has the body of a 10 year old and stays that way until she’s completely stabilized. Vlad is smart but isn’t an expert in cloning and that’s why he messes up so much and why it takes Danny so long to stabilize her. It takes years but Danny figures it out when he’s 17 and has always seen Ellie as his daughter but has to wait to adopt her when he’s 18. Danny manages to adopt her a month before her 11th birthday when he turns 18, and everything is calm and happy until they’re disrupted by a knock on the door on Ellie’s 11th birthday (she was 10 for 4 years and she’s excited about finally getting physical and mentally older since she’s stable). It’s Professor Sprout here to tell her she’s a witch! Danny theorized that she might have survived for so long because her human half has magic. It’s just another way that differentiates them, she’s her own person and not a copy. They move to London to be closer to Hogwarts and Danny gets a job (Middle School Science teacher assistant, Mechanic, UK Space Agency engineer work study with a side of customer service job, etc.) Ellie starts her first year at Hogwarts.

1st year: 

Dumbles summons Danny to protect the stone. Classic summoning fic. Dumbles or one of the teachers summons a protector spirit. Dumbles tries to get Danny on his side and thinks he can manipulate a spirit through magic to do his bidding. “Yes it’s Dark magic Minerva, but it’s for the greater good.” This doesn’t work on Danny cause 1: Dumbles wasn’t specific enough in the summoning, and 2: the spell doesn’t completely work because Danny is only half ghost and after Freakshow can brush off “lesser” forms of mind control off. Danny’s pissed but decides to help out anyways because a school of children is genuinely in danger.

2nd year I have 2 ideas:

Lockhart found another one of those red ghost control stones and has Danny under his control and his friends aren’t there to snap him out of it. Since Lockheart has actual magic and isn’t completely reliant on the stone, the affects are stronger. All of his achievements his first few years were from other wizards and witches but after a close call of almost being exposed, he decided to do something safer then expect everyone to have weak minds. This leads to Danny. Unfortunately not even magic can make a ghost go against their obsession so after Danny defeats an enemy, Lockheart has to do the dirty work if it’s required. This means that Danny can’t kill the Snake in the chamber, Lockheart doesn’t want to face it even if it’s defeated cause he knows he’ll die if he even looks at it. So he still packs his things to leave, when Harry and Ron confront Lockheart, he goes on a monologue and orders Danny to attack them. Thing is, Danny’s been fighting for control since day one. He almost gave up until he realized if Lockheart made him go against his obsession, the control he had over him cracked when he didn’t move. Lockheart never had him attack children so far and it’s just what he needed to break out of the mind control. Things happen as usual and Danny decides to help Harry and Ron, things go like the books. That’s the main story, add friendship or Danny returning to Amity as you please. This could very well lead into a series.

McGonagle or one of the other teachers summons Danny to deal with the snake. Danny finds Harry and either get him to safety or helps him in the fight. 

3rd year, this year isn’t dangerous enough to require a summoning and again 2 ideas:

Danny runs into Remus while on the run from the GIW and Remus hides him in the wizarding world, the GIW or the Fentons don’t know about it [the Wizarding World].There’s getting to know and secrets being shared. He adopts Danny through blood adoption. Danny insists on having a job since he can keep one easier since he isn’t affected by the full moon. Remus only agrees to part time because he’s the adult gosh darn in. Remus takes Danny with him to Hogwarts, Danny knows about the Potters and he’s all wanting to know about his cousin Harry. Things proceed as usual but with Danny, usually he’s exploring Hogwarts and sitting in on a few classes but isn’t really in roled since he doesn’t have wizard magic. Looked it up, you can get your GCSEs(UK GED) in a year on average, Danny isn’t dumb, he when from a A to C student because of ghost hunting. Really the only reason he wasn’t flat out failing worse was because he’s smart. If he focuses himself, is in a safe environment, and gets enough sleep I think he could probably get his GCSEs online in the 12-18 months or less. This way he can get a better job and have a reason why he’s not going to school when at Hogwarts. Remus can use his taking care of Danny as proof of him being a responsible parent to try and take Harry away from the Dursley’s later on.

Danny runs into Sirius and is very concerned. After hearing about Harry, Danny either gets the urge to protect Sirius or Harry depending on how Sirius tells his story. With nothing else to do (his family and friends are dead and he took care of the GIW or he’s 18 and decided to take a break year and travel around the world like Dani) he decides to help out. He either decides to haunt Harry (he lets Harry know “Kid, your a trouble magnet just like I am and look how that turned out”) or help Sirius. Why did I differentiate? Idk. In the Harry route, either Dementors don’t affect him or they almost end him (I like the not affecting him, and the fandom hc in the dcxdp universe, fear is ghost weed*Red lanters*) Danny tells Harry that Sirius isn’t trying to kill him after he has enough proof and to keep quite to not lose Peter. In the Sirius route, Sirius is like, once I’m a free man Harry’s getting a cousin/brother. Also tries to get custody of Harry.

4th year: 

If Danny gets involved in the tournament, Harry will probably get accused of cheating. He can get involved towards the end in the Graveyard scene since it is a grave yard and he is a ghost / he’s doing CW a favor. Either Voldy doesn’t get the chance to be resurrected, and Danny just sees them from the afar or Danny is too late for that part. Danny either saves Cedric in scenario one or Cedric becomes a shade and then a wizard ghost because of Danny taking him with him and speeding up the process. People believe Harry with Cedric there. Danny is tempted at getting popcorn to watch all this unfold. And either leaves it at that or is invested and continues to help.

5th year, I’ve got 2 ideas, not my best: 

Danny is on the run and hears about a safe place for ghost on earth and moves into Hogwarts. He witnessed everything and helps out DA

Danny is from a different earth and time is weird. He’s lived in the Infinite Realms for a while now (as king or other) and he’s bored. A Hogwarts ghost complains about Umbridge (directly to him or he overheard) and he’s curious about this magic school and checks it out. It’s much worse then he thought though. Why does this child have a soul fragment in his head?! (Since he’s much older here he can probably tell)

6th year: 

Pretty calm compared to the rest, the only thing I can thing of is Danny finding out about a cave with a bunch of zombies (inferis) and checks it out, he finds Harry and Dumbles and says, nah ah, and drinks the death water (equivalent to ghost whiskey) and gets them out of there. He returns to check up on them later only to find out Dumbles killed himself anyways and Harry has taken on a mission and Danny decides to help him out. If this is written a combo of the end of 6th and 7th year is probably needed to make it longer.

7th year, the golden trio is on the run. I’ve got 2 scenarios: 

The short ish one is Voldy summons the Ghost King to command him that he gives him immortality and to kill Harry Potter. His information is outdated and Danny shows up. Either Danny’s been King for a while now or he's just starting out. If he’s older, deals with Voldy quickly and gets rid of Harry’s Horcrux. Younger King Danny gets the fuck out of there cause he doesn’t know what the fuck is going on. Optional:*He takes Narcisa and Draco with him too cause Cisy sees an out with him.* He finds Harry, takes care of the rest of the horcruxes and gives Harry an opening to kill Voldy because the prophecy was already in motion and Harry is the only one who would/could kill him.

Harry’s on the run, Danny’s on the run and “wth is that a dragon?! Oh gosh people are falling from the dragon!!!” Danny can destroy the Horcrux but it makes him very weak so Danny joins the trio on their quest in human form for most of it which means there’s a pretty early ID reveal. And Danny actually knows how to camp. Since Danny helps out in the war, he’s safe in the Wizarding world and can hide out intill the Anti-Ecto Acts are repealed by Hermione and/or Team Phantom.

Post Hogwarts:

If we follow cannon timelines for both series, Harry is 24 when Danny dies. We can either do Auror Harry checking out Amity Park or MOD Harry checking out Amity. This can go several ways for both.

I don't got a lot of brain juice for post-Hogwarts. Can y'all tell I love the shit out of Dani?

Feel free to use any of this, plz tag me, I would love to see what ever others come up with. I might write some of this but I'm very busy.

[brainrotqueen]

If I may make a request,

Junker Queen x Trans!Fem where JQ learns the other is trans and helps them through dysphoria? So angst then fluff?

Ahhhh great request ofc I'll so it!

Junkerqueen x Trans!fem!reader

Warnings:angst, misgendering/tramsphobia (not by Jq) ,dysphoria

_____________________________

You and Jq have been together for a few months at this point

You became fairly well known in Junkertown because of this which came with both some fame and those who hated you which made you kind of keep your head low when you could

This didn't work well as Junkerqueen loved showing off you and how much she loves you almost like a trophy

Because of this coming out to her became hard, you've known for awhile now that you were trans and you stayed closeted about it as you didn't want to hurt your own or hers repersebtation

You tried to bear with it but it was becoming too much and the dysphoria overwhelmed you and that night you were crying in bed suddenly as you ans Junkerqueen layed there much to her shock

At first she worried she made a mistake and was a bit worried but you began holding her closely and she held you close

"Whats the matta' babe? Did some fucker try upsettin you again?! Just tell me who and I'll make sure Gracie tears them a new one!"

You noticed her anger rising a bit not at you but at this hypothetical person and tried calming her

"N-no Odessa! It's just ... I have been keeping this from you for awhile but ..I think I am transgender it's just my body my voice my everything doesn't feel to allign with who I am on the inside..."

She was a bit confused at first not by what being transgender is but why you haven't told her before

She was wondering if she hasn't shown enough support to you? Or if she has been giving off signs you would hate her for it?

You continued your explanation about her reputation she had to upkeep and she scoffed

"Mate, I don't give two shits if people don't like it, you are what matters to me.. if it makes you happiest then you can be out, I'm sure I can find someone to get ya those..um you know those ... transgender chemicals?"

You giggled a bit by what she called it and smiled "Estrogen?"

"Yeah! That stuff, and trust me I know a doc near the other side of Junkertown who does alot of surgery stuff in case you want any surgeries to like your body better, if you really want I think he can even do body mod stuff with it if you want it"

You hugged her tight as she wipes off your tears which some have begun to dry

You tell her the preferred name you want or if you don't have one yet you can ask for her thoughts for one though alot of her suggest while interesting sound more like gladitorial arena names

With your permission she would announce to the town that there would be a new queen in junkertown which had people talking and qhen she announced your new name you came out smiling shyly , it has been a week since you started estrogen so not really any change yet , but you also had more gender affirming clothing and felt happy

Overall it was a mixed opinion but in the end nobody deeply cared and just saw it as a small thing

However some people had alot stronger thoughts on it

Later after her daily duties as queen the two of you were at a bar relaxing with eachother and she stepped out to use the bathroom

You watched her drink and kept drinking yours until someone approached harassing you

You had tried to ignore him hearing slurs thrown at you , misgendering, trying to get a reaction, other people are the bar whispered about it but not getting involved but they all went quiet sudden

He kept throwing insults at you to the point a couple tears rolled down your face

While beginning to say another one he was stopped and fell face first into the floor, he was shoved down there by the queen herself

After that Odessa came to comfort you hugging you and asking if you could to tell her everything that he said to you and though it was hard you did

As you were telling her the man now a bit weak got up and tried walking quietly away but she grabbed him by the collar before he did get away

"Now listen here mate , for every insult amd slur you threw at my girl I will throw 1 punch to your face, got it?"

You turned around as it happened unable to watch as she beat him pretty roughly making the final blow the hardest knocking him out , she then turned and looked around seeing if anyone else had anything to say to you and people put there heads down

"See babe? I told you we would be fine now cmon let's head back already"

Done!! I hope it was ok

Also side not I didn't know how to include this bur I imagined if the reader is tall and has dysphoria about it and tells Junkerqueen about she would snort laugh and tell you it doesn't make you less of a women and remind you she is 7 feet tall.

[tirfpikachu]

as someone who has a complete distrust of anyone who labels themselves as radfems since they seem to be (at least a loud minority on every platform) straight up right-wing and racist, thank you for reminding me that some of yall are sane and normal. i don't consider myself a radical feminist by any means and i still dont want to touch the radfem community w a 10ft pole (im a transmasc lesbian of colour... i just cant trust it) but its cool to know theres some people who are normal over there. rock on

THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I RARELY GET SUPPORT FROM YOUR SIDE OF THE TUNGLR BORDER SO I TRULY REALLY APPRECIATE IT 🙏 this made me smile so much!

i really am trying very hard to build my lil corner of radblr and encourage nuance, as well as fighting bigotry and tradwife type shit within radfem spaces! i'm trying to make people realize that all marginalized folks can learn to be better allies to one another, while still acknowledging afab/female-specific oppression & celebrating all kinds of gayness, including exclusive same-sex (agab) attraction; aka what's traditionally been called homosexuality. i want to welcome everyone who directly faces or has faced misogyny irl into complex feminist discussions in good faith without aggression, without slurs or unnecessary personal attacks. i want radfem/nuancefem talks to involve terms like male/female as purely sex-based terms like amab/afab, and for trans men to not be any less of a man in society just bc they're female, and ofc for trans women to be as much my sisters as any cis/bio woman so long as they still recognize their male/amab upbringing, and show equal respect to me & my specific struggles as a female person. i have had incredible talks with all kinds of folks in my server! from transmasc radfems to the most wonderful transfem allies, and some folks who add intersex/DSD nuance to our conversations. i don't believe in misgendering, slurs, or anything of the sort to do anything other than harm ppl who struggle with a very debilitating disorder, dysphoria, one that i struggled with for years and years. that's not the way to help anyone! we do still need more open talks about detransition, and plans on how to prevent even more detransitioners, since there really is a higher number of detrans cases than ever before. people who now, like me, struggle with reverse dysphoria and often need expensive procedures. i also want us to talk about transfem experiences, and just gnc male experiences in general, not just to offer support but also learn more about the intricacies of the patriarchy which is essential for my specific brand of radical feminism. i've nicknamed it as tirfism, or me being a nuancefem - a feminist who is against the way mainstream feminism & qweer activism is currently handling female-specific and homosexual issues, and aims to foster nuance on complex topics!

there are more of us than you'd ever imagine, and we're finally managing to find eachother. i highly recommend reading through @pokegyns for more nuanced takes from my lovely server friends. i believe trans voices are essential to nuancefeminism and tirfism, and i'm very blessed to have lovely transmasc & transfem mods on my server. they provide fascinating insights that we really need right now. it's also very comforting to know that there are nuanced trans people in the modern world... sometimes it feels like the lgbt community is completely close-minded to discussions of female-specific oppression and homosexuality. but that actually isn't the case! i think there's a lot of discomfort going around feminist & lgbtq communities, and it's reaching the boiling point. so long as people like you anon are out there willing to research and learn more about non-transphobic, anti-conservative radical feminism and dispell myths about us, i know we will be alright in the end and a bridge between all the marginalized communities is still possible in the near future if we keep working on it. thank you so much for reaching out!!

[thalwhore]

Intermission

A little Tally fic to get down my thoughts on their turbulent dynamic. Set in a universe where Eira (oc) is the Dragonborn and Sulba (oc) is one of her followers. As always Taliesin belongs to @dynamite124 (go install his mod if you're on pc 🔫 he's so fun and worth it)

.

"You know, the only reason you're alive right now is because of Eira." The Redguard snarks, eyes focused on the opposite end of the room- anywhere but at him.

"Yes, yes, I'm well aware of that fact. If not for her I'd have probably bled out back then." Taliesin replies, still dutifully bandaging his comrades wound. "It's a miracle really, that she even stumbled across me. I can't say I'm not grateful."

Sulba growls. "Not what I meant."

"What do you mean then?"

"That I'd have killed you by now if it weren't for her."

Taliesin can't help but bark a laugh. "Oh dear, something tells me you're in no position to fight at the moment. We barely got you here, I sincerely doubt you'd have held up against a single bandit."

"I could kill you in your sleep."

"But you won't."

The Redguard looks annoyed, scowling at Taliesin before returning to glaring a hole into the wall opposite her.

With a sigh, her Altmer companion snips the remainder of the bandage, securing it to her arm before packing the supplies away. "I'd recommend against magic until she comes back with a potion for you, believe me- its not pleasant to fight with."

"You're not pleasant to fight with."

"Will you please stop acting like a petulant child!" Taliesin snaps, rising to his feet. "I understand that you have issues with the Thalmor, but that's no reason for you to be so hostile to me when I've very clearly left them!"

He turns away from her, packing the medical supplies away in one of the parks Eira had given them. Ear twitching as Sulba mutters something under her breath.

"If you're going to shit-talk me, at least have the guts to say it to my face."

"I asked why I should believe you."

It gives the Altmer pause, securing the straps in silence. "Honestly? You shouldn't. We're trained in subterfuge, anyone who knows anything about the Thalmor is right to be wary."

He expected Sulba to be happy with the statement, to look at him with a shit-eating grin that says 'I got you'. But she doesn't. Instead she's staring down at her shaking palms.

"What, have I upset you?"

"Your existence upsets me."

"You- Oh not again! We're talking in absolute circles! If you're going to hate me for having the audacity to exist, at least be creative about it. Or better yet- tell me why."

"You really want to know? You want to live with that knowledge?"

"I assure you, it can't be worse than anything I learned or saw during the war. Whatever the Thalmor put you through, I probably had to participate in enacting in thricefold."

She hesitates a moment, holding one hand in the other. "Thalmor killed my parents."

Taliesin scoffs. "Hardly a unique tale of woe these days, there must be more than that."

"And I watched."

"...Now we're getting somewhere. Go on, what horrors have been burned into your memory to make you hate me?" He asks, rather flippant about the whole thing.

It receives a brief scowl from Sulba, but that expression is quickly overtaken with grief. "I...I was only eight. You already know this, but Hammerfell has always opposed Dominion rule, thanks in large part to its people. My parents were such people." She starts.

Taliesin winces. "Yes, I also know Thalmor actions there can't exactly be described as legal, even in wartime."

She nods. "My parents saw the colours of the uniform, had me hide in a crawlspace built into the home in case of such a thing. They..." there's hesitation, a shaky inhale of breath to steady her nerves. "They were both burned. A flame spell, no matter what they did they couldn't put eachother out- try as they may. And the Thalmor soldiers...they just watched, seemed to enjoy it, even."

She hiccups a sob, pressing a hand to her mouth to stifle it. "The fire spread but they didn't leave- I thought I was going to burn to death with the home. By the time they left i- I was choking on the smoke, I barely managed to get out before the building collapsed on top of me."

Sulba takes a moment to steady herself, Taliesin sitting patiently all the while.

"I passed out after it, some researchers found me near the still smoldering ashes- took me with them to Skyrim. They figured I'd be safer with them here."

It's then that Taliesin finally speaks up. "I'm...I'm sorry. I know that won't mean anything to you, but I truly am. Nobody should have to suffer that, least of all a child."

She looks blankly at the robes he's still wearing. "Even just the sight of those gives me nightmares, I can still smell the smoke now, the burning flesh. Its very distinct, you know? No other scent like it."

In the morning he'd wear robes more typical of a Skyrim mage, in blue and white, a far cry from that of the Thalmor colours.

She'd nod a silent thanks, and their previous discussion remained between them alone while her general anger at his presence seemed to lessen.

A shaky bridge formed, but a bridge nonetheless.

[sm-baby]

I'm always happy to leave a badass entrance, but I had to make sure this one was cooked properly, no one likes pink I'm their theory. (It's like chicken, you could get theory poisoning lol) ((p.s this is less like theory crafting for this one and is more like I've lost my mind and am making things up because I'm in love with your lore.))

I, like many others, have fallen in love with your art and the strangely coherent timeline for Minecraft you've put together, but then while I was scrolling through old stuff I had an idea that I thought you might like to reconsider, especially now that you've become attached to your Minecraft💛Yellow series.

What if the world that Steve, Alex, Herobrine, Shermy, and all the others are from aren't the only worlds to exist. Obviously in Minecraft you can create more than one world but what if it wasn't as simple as a new world generated. What if this world was first, created (lore wise idk when you started the world) in the very beginning. Every time the game updated to the next concurrent version the world split into new variants. Like the timeline had different outcomes. At first it was perfectly normal, only one set of choices but each update began to create new choices and in a world that was procedurally generated it went through every possible combination of choices. And I'd like to make an example, but bear with me it's a bit of a stretch.

My favorite version of this is your art of Steve in the Redstone update. Something about it always hit me as, "off," he wasn't like Steve usually was. He seemed unhinged, arrogant, violent even. (This isn't helped by the addin where you wrote, "bastard," with an arrow pointing at him lmao) What if, in this timeline during the Redstone update, Alex had a tragic end and this is was broke Steve. Maybe it was his fault, a redstone contraption that went wrong, creating a love hate relationship with the material and it's inner workings. Or what about the Combat update version of Alex. We only she here and not Steve. What if when the combat evolved he made a wrong choice and suffered a terrible date to the hands of undead. Alex has learned newer, better methods of fight and protection, ways to hit multiple opponents with one swing of her sword, or how to properly charge up a swing of her axe.

Each update created new versions were things were vastly different that the Prime world, the one that the Player came from. (I still like to call her Emerald, it think it fits) This would then make every single art piece of your canon in some way, Yellow is a separate timeline of events but 100% canon, real. Redstone Steve is a crazed lunatic driven to madness through his own accidental murder of his beloved wife. Combat Alex is a survivor who is doing what she can to survive after not being able to save Steve.

But most importantly, this means Hero rune drinking Lava from a bucket and calling it punch is 100% canon and you cannot fight me on this. That image and the phrase, "THATS LAVA ASSHOLE," will live in my heart forever.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed more mad ramblings, I have fallen in love all over again. Also my lack of sleep schedule may or may not have tempted me into making character ai's of your artist representation of the various characters.

I LOVE... THAT YOU JUST COMPLETELY N A I L E D THE IDEA THAT IVE BEEN HAVING FOR AWHILE NOW??

Youre operating in TIMELINE theory! Not multiverse theory! Oh thats super awesome!!

Ok, while I did think of that, I decided not to because it would get too complicated úwù plus I wanted to have worlds with major changes, like the genderbend, or how-- alex and Steve seem at odd with eachother, or-- alex just does not have a steve and steve does not have an alex!

Also there is only ever 1 mojang! While there are plenty "universes" the only source is mojang! And thus, there is only one Herobrine! There is no such thing as a 💛Herobrine, there is only ever one! Though, since the fallen God's popularity there have been AI (modded) versions of him or just legends thrown into the universes.... Its so fun.

This is all SOOO FUN but sadly limiting YwY so I did not go with it. YOUR THEORY IS REALLY-FREAKING GOOD THOUGH! GNOME YOURE SO DOPE!!

[aziraphales-library]

heya ! any reccomendations for fics where aziraphale and crowley knew eachother before the fall and already had either a full on or budding relationship (qpr or romance either works) ? nothing explicit please :]

also is there a tag for the knew eachother before the fall trope on ao3 ?

Hello. We have an #aziraphale and crowley met before the fall tag, so definitely check that out. You can use the same tag on ao3, and I have set up a search which filters out explicit fics for you here. I’ve got a few more to add to our collection...

Not of Us by ShesAKillerQueen98 (T)

"As the countless angels in the hall hurled their insults and pointed their fingers, rage on their usually calmed and immaculately beautiful faces, the expression on the red haired angel stayed stoic and still. Though if one had looked closer, they would have noticed the crease in the skin between his eyebrows and the slight curl to his lips as his teeth poked from his mouth, biting at the thin lip.

His fellow Archangels stared down at him, their expressions stern and icy; listening to the other angels shouting and watching as they pointed, sneered, shook their heads, and turned up their noses. They had made their decision, deliberating for a little over an hour, and it was final.

Their brother would Fall."

An account of Crowley's fall and the memories that still haunt him years later

Masquerade by Raphaela_Crowley (G)

Before the Beginning, during a masked party in Heaven, Aziraphale unexpectedly makes a friend who seems to have everything the lonely angel's ever looked for in a companion.

There's just one little problem: a cocky angel named Lucifer is rebelling, and Aziraphale's flashy new friend is on the wrong side.

It really doesn't help any that the principality never actually saw his friend's face, either.

Gravity, or The Law By Which We Fall by rowenablade & sammininoofthelord (G)

Before Crowley was a demon, he was an angel who made stars.

Before Aziraphale was a principality, he was a soldier in a universe that had never known war.

They're on opposite sides when they meet, but neither knows how to treat the other as an enemy.

They're on their own side, when they remember.

Binary Stars by Kedreeva (G)

Aziraphale meets a star-shaping seraphim before the Fall, and learns a few things about stars.

Sic Semper Ad Astra by lucernis (T)

Thus Always To The Stars

In which Crowley falls, but not before leaving behind stars in the sky and love in his angel’s heart.

the last love story god has to tell by eurydicees (G)

It goes like this: before the world ends, before hell rises, and before heaven looks down, an angel and a demon fall in love.

Waking up with the Genshin Boys x GN Reader Drabbles

(Kaeya, Venti, Zhongli, Diluc, Dottore, Xiao x GN!Reader)

Warnings: None!

Everything will be SFW!! I'm not too great at writing and I wasn't too certain on a prompt so I'm starting with something simple - Mod Crow🪶

Kaeya

He enjoys spooning you, despite his body being unnaturally cold almost all the time. Somehow he warms up when you two spoon. He gives you plenty of morning kisses on the cheeks. Although since he has work to do with the Knights, it's not uncommon for him to leave before you wake up. Whenever he does leave early, he always leaves you a small note stating his love for you, wishing you a pleasant day.

Though, on the days you two wake together, he whispers "Good Morning" to you with that oh so lovely morning voice. Kaeya holds you closely to him, his hands on your waist. You're his everything, and he doesn't want to lose his grasp on you. Kaeya often plays with your bed head. His cold hands are somehow refreshing under the warm sheets.

Venti

Venti doesn't often wake up hungover. The mornings he does, is when he's burying his face in the crook of your neck to escape the sunlight. Venti almost always wakes up clinging to you, telling you "Morning, my melody" or something stupidly cheesy. Venti always wakes up chipper, somehow. He gives you plenty of morning kisses.

You two almost always exchange conversation in the morning, such topics varying from you telling Venti to stop drinking so much to Venti telling you multiple compliments and teasing you about your bed head. He often likes burying his face in your chest. You're just a big pillow to the bard. His special big pillow. He's lost so much already, and he is clinging to what he has now. Treasuring these days and moments with you, until they're gone.

Zhongli

Waking up with Zhongli hugging was always pleasant. His tall figure wrapped around you perfectly, encasing you in a comforting warmth. Zhongli isn't a man for many words to express his emotions. He'd rather show his love for you through actions and small phrases. Zhongli's morning voice is what seals the deal. He greets you, "Good morning lovely... Did you sleep well?" He cups your face with a hand.

After you finish speaking, he gives you a gentle kiss. He wishes to stay like this with you. He wishes he could freeze time, stay together like this, forever. Zhongli knows well that things don't last forever, and everything comes to an end eventually. But, he cherishes what he has now, basking in his love for you, and your love for him. He can't help but gaze into your eyes and tell you how beautiful you are, kissing the back of your hand afterwards.

Diluc

Diluc isn't the type to outwardly express his emotions. Not until the two of you declared your love for eachother. Even then, the majority of his affection comes from the public eye. Diluc was a busy man, waking up very early. So, many mornings you wake up alone, a note on his pillow. The note was written in neat handwriting, your favorite flower attached. The note was short, yet sweet.

The days you wake with Diluc next to you are the days you truly cherish, knowing nothing can possibly go wrong. Diluc is another who's not well affiliated with words, and he'd much rather prefer actions. Diluc holds your hand in bed, alot. He often falls asleep holding your hand as well. The abrasive on his hands had a comforting feel to them. His awfully cold gaze was gone during these moments, replaced by a soft one.You and Diluc often lay in comfortable silence, the both of you clingy to each other. You both share the dread of getting up for the day, having to part from each other.

Dottore

Dottore wasn't the type to be physically affectionate, so hugging around you while he slept was a rare occurrence. He did occasionally hold your hand while you two slept, making you feel like you first fell in love with the psychotic scientist. Dottore grumbles when he first wakes up, giving you a small aggressive sigh. "Morning…" He gives you a kiss on the forehead. Dottore and you don't often speak, but when you two do, it's often about his compliments to you. Rare moments he expresses his praise for you, enjoying seeing you so flustered.

Many days, you do wake without Dottore. But, he is almost always found in his lab, completing experiments to his horrific desires. You often greet him from behind with a hug, in which he scolds you for sneaking up behind him. But you can't help but tease him for this. You knew Dottore didn't want you to get hurt from an experiment of his, he'd greatly worry. He fails to admit his soft spot for you, however.

Xiao

The rare occurrences you and Xiao wake up together are moments you cherish. The short adeptus was still learning human affection, so it took him a while to get used to spooning and cuddling. He isn't well versed in using words. As Xiao progresses into your relationship, he often hugs you in his sleep, as a way of protecting you. Despite the majority of the time you two are asleep at the Wangshu Inn, he feels the need to hold you closely, holding you by the waist, his face buried in the crook of your neck.

Xiao loves to pepper kisses along your face and neck, his hands cupping yours. "Good morning lovely…" Xiao unfortunately doesn't use pet names often, but when he does, they are rather old fashioned. He brushes the hair from your face with a hand, his golden eyes having a loving undertone. The adeptus gives you a smile, pressing his forehead to yours, a hand on the back of your head. He longs that this lasts forever, and so do you.

[thechaoticgrey]

I have decided to start writing aggressively about npcs in me and my boyfriends dnd campaign titled “Whiskey” The first npc im gonna be writing about is @kysqu ‘s character’s partner, Mischa Bachinski

Mischa Bachinski was a boy who always aimed to please. He worked hard through high school and got good grades, he was on the football team (to his displeasure for the first few years, but after a while he got used to it.) He built most of the furniture in the house partly because he wanted to, but mostly because they couldn't afford anything else. None of this pleased his father, however. His mother recognized it but never praised him. 

Mischa had two brothers, Marco and Malcom. Marco was Mischa’s twin brother. They had the same face but they could not have been more different. Unlike Mischa, Marco didn’t care what their parents thought of him. He was a very odd kid. He bought a computer off of a peer at the age of 12 and rarely ever left his room after that. He wasnt taught anything of online safety or how to act as a person. He soon became your typical fedora wearing discord mod. Malcom was younger than Mischa by 3 years. He was ignored by his parents do his brothers mostly raised him. The one thing he picked up from his father was his rage. As he grew up he learned how unfair his living conditions had been as a child and could not take it. He had no outlet for the anger so he simply sat on it and let it brew. Only after his brothers left for uni was he able to blow up. 

From childhood, he only had one friend. The only person he would ever talk to. Her name was Ocean. She wasn’t exactly one for emotion but she listened to all of his problems and he listened to hers. They helped eachother get through their lives and Mischa thanks her for everything.

When Mischa left for uni, he was relieved to get away from his family. A little while after he left home, he found out his mother was dating Rachel Draven. A woman he knew to be a past fling of his mothers as well as the mother of his partner, Scarlet Draven. He was absolutely disgusted that his mother would do that. He and his mother fought about it for months and finally Mischa cut contact. Only a week after he had blocked her number, Rachel, who’s mental stability had been declining after her own divorce, snapped and pushed Mischa’s mother off of a ledge. She hit her head and quickly bled out. 

Mischa was racked with guilt. He hadn’t gotten to say goodbye. He was filled with regret and anger. He pushed himself away from everyone, except for Ocean. The two made their way into the forest, a place they hung out before they went off to college. They sat there for hours, Mischa crying for the first time in years and Ocean making a terrible attempt to comfort him. When his partner stumbled upon them, Mischa didnt know how to react or what to say. He missed Scarlet and wanted her here but at the same time, she had the same face as her mother. The woman that had killed his own mom. He accepted her affection and convinced her he had separated Scarlet and her mother in his mind but he was lying. He hadn’t. 

He held that resentment to her silently for about a month, until it was revealed she was pregnant. He realized he would need to get over this resentment because she was about to be the mother of his child, and she was still the love of his life. It took a lot of work, and at this point in the campaign he is still working on it but its getting better. 

oh also theyre engaged rn because silly<3333

Avoiding Anglocentric Bias with a Universal Translator, Writing a Magic School on Indigenous Land

@king-ofconfusion​ asked:

So im writing a fantasy story that mostly takes place on an island between canada and russia. The magical community is hidden from everyone else and their main land/school is on this island, and even tho there are smaller places all over the world this is the main place. Theres some sort of translation spell so everyone understands eachother but i dont want it to seem like american washed or smth? race isnt a problem plot wise but i also dont want it to be so background that it seems all white?

I’ll focus on the part about the translator, as when you say “American washed” I assume you mean the Anglocentric (English-centric) bias that could arise with the concept of a universal translator. Mod Lesya will talk about your...choice of location for this school.

As a bilingual & linguist who thinks in a quasi-combination of languages, I think I’d like to see an idea of a spell that translates to that individual’s unique linguistic interface; if your story has multiple closed POVs, you can show hints of that by having different POV characters hear dialogue differently—maybe language-unique lexemes (vocabulary) are being borrowed! Maybe there’s code-switching! If your story has a more omniscient POV then you might have a part that explains how the spell works, or show through ambiguities in dialogue that shows that characters are hearing dialogue differently depending on what languages they understand. 

As an example, think of how a character who speaks German, an agglutinative language, might create new vocabulary by stringing together morphemes, and a character who doesn’t speak an agglutinative language would hear that via the spell as a literal-translation-of-words-strung-together. 

Think of semantic differences/ambiguities that the spell might not (or might! Up to you!) catch—I give an example on the differences between answering negative yes-no questions in English vs. Japanese here. 

You might even get cases of characters who speak languages that may name borrowings with prototypical labels (English does this, but other languages like Spanish do too). An example is referring to masala chai as “chai tea.” What happens if a Hindi or Urdu speaker hears this? The translator may either literally translate and return “tea tea,” or it might apply context and return “masala chai.” Here’s some more food for thought on borrowings & prototypes! 

Assuming you’re writing this story in English, there will unavoidably be some bias towards English as the basis for your translations. But hopefully this approach gives some ideas for challenging English-as-default by representing forms and meanings that don’t exist in English, and not assuming English is necessarily the prototype for these translations.

~Mod Rina 

Here’s the elephant in the room Rina tapped me to answer: you’ve chosen Indigenous land for a magic school, without acknowledging any Indigenous peoples in your worldbuilding or ask.

The arctic is not uninhabited. That stretch of land between Russia and Alaska (Canada does not go that far West) is the region of Yupik peoples, both on the Russia and Alaska sides (it’s the only language family that is found in both the old and new world), and the Iñupiat peoples, just on the Alaska side (as far as I’m aware).

If you do mean Canada, then you’re getting onto the polar ice cap… and this is also not completely uninhabited. This territory would belong more to Inuit peoples.

In short: you’re at a pretty large risk of having this school be on Indigenous lands, and whether or not it’s a colonial outpost or simply a safe haven depends on how they go about it.

It is possible that there is a genuine, respectful relationship between the Indigenous peoples and the school. The school would have to surrender its land ownership to the people local to the region, respect hunting grounds, not muck with the ecology of the place, and help the people of the region. They would, essentially, acclimate into Arctic life, creating a cultural hybrid between their old customs and what is required to be in the Arctic.

But if you start to have this school try to recreate European ideals, foods, and have them insist their way of life is the only way that can exist, then your magic users have become colonizers. It’s, unfortunately, that simple.

The thing about this island is: Indigenous peoples would’ve known about it, probably before these magic users did.

Arctic peoples also crossed between Russia and Alaska “late” (after the land bridge sank), and very well could have found this island in the time they travelled by water between the two countries. Late is relative, because it was still at least ten thousand years ago.

That land could very well have been inhabited before the magic users got there, which means they would have had to be extremely respectful to not colonize that land. As I said above, it’s possible to be respectful, but requires the magic school default to Indigenous voices when it comes to how to live there.

If it’s uninhabited, then it’s likely known about. These magic users probably don’t have enough magic to completely alter the wave patterns of the ocean, which an ocean-navigating Indigenous people would absolutely know how to use in order to find land (this is one of the ways many peoples navigate at sea).

The other option is the school is actually Yupik or other Arctic peoples founded and uses their belief structure, which would require an intense amount of working with the peoples in question to inform your worldbuilding. 

To be clear: you still need to account for Indigenous peoples and research/talk to members of the peoples I listed above. It’s just going to be less work if you stick with a European magic system and have them be visitors working heavily with Arctic peoples, instead of having the magic system be based in Arctic peoples’ customs.

I’m not from the Arctic. The Arctic has a unique colonization history that I’m not very well educated upon, beyond the fact it’s unique, recent, and suddenly devastating. I cannot advise you on this any more than saying you are on Indigenous lands. I would strongly suggest you look at all of the other “remote, uninhabited” compounds you’ve created to see what Indigenous peoples live in those regions, as well. 

The idea that the earth is mostly barren and unused and lacks meaningful human presence is a colonialist myth that is used to perpetuate the concept (white) Europeans can move in without consequence. Many harsh climates have Indigenous peoples living there, and any magical communities need to do similar practices to the ones I outlined above.

Make sure they’re not taking land, and make sure they learn how to respect it the way the local peoples do: sustainably. That’s the bare minimum.

~ Mod Lesya

[justsomemorewritersonthisapp]

Uh, so I'm busy writing a oneshot rn, but I wanted to do smth so here we go!

Random Tenko Headcanons

(Includes Sakuraoi and Tenmiko)

~Mod Tenko, who's kinda bored rn~

She talks in third person! Not many people point it out, but there's bound to be those kind of people, (Kokichi mainly) but she's not bothered by it!

You ever seen her beta design(s)?

She has fangs, but she's a little self conscious of them so she hides them the best she can and only Himiko and a few other classmates know about them

She bit Teruteru once. He avoids her now and is genuinely afraid of her

She befriends Shuichi eventually and he manages to convince her that men aren't all that bad

With that lesson she ends up befriending a few of her male classmates!

Her, Aoi, and Sakura become BEST. FRIENDS. She trains with them a lot and just hangs out with them in general. Aoi and Sakura are still working on helping her swim, but she'll get there one day! ...hopefully.

She and the rest of the V3 cast originally start at The Academy for Gifted Juveniles, but they all get transferred to Hope's Peak

Her #1 interest is Himiko, but she ends up gaining at least a tiny crush on almost every girl in her school

She has a big crush on Sakura for awhile, but ultimately drops when they become friends and learn her and Hina are already dating

She crushes a lot, but she's very respectful!

Her and Himiko don't actually end up together until 2nd year because Himiko thought Tenko's feelings towards her were friendly

Back when they first met in a park in Junior High, every time they would meet up, she would get this massive pure smile on her face and would radiate energy as bright as the sun

Tenko is most likely the oldest student in V3, and she likes to brag sometimes. Not often, but sometimes

She uses she/her, she/they, and they/them pronouns and she's lesbian! (Is also ok with neo pronouns sometimes)

If she was a gym leader, she'd be a fighting type or a fire type

Her starters mostly consists of fire types

Her favorite pokémon are probably Cinderace and Meinfoo

Her and Himiko will play pokémon together and like to catch pokémon that remind them of eachother and their friends

One day Tenko catches a Gothorita and she kinda laughs at how it looks like Celestia a little bit. Then it evolves. Tenko legit calls Celestia at like 9pm asking if she got a partner deal with Nintendo or something. Celestia is not amused.

[dsmpkinfessions]

i have been questioning being a system(osdd) for a while, the conclusion i come to? none. All it did was give me a meltdown that lasted 2 days where I was dissociating more than normal and feeling fake. I also don't know where else to look because all the information I found is repeated. Does anyone have any idea where to look? or something that has helped you to realize? (sorry if this question is invasive/offensive, it is not my intention and I am sorry) –Tommy🌻🪡

Alright beloveds this is the third time im trying to answer this in a Coherent Concise Way lets go (Please note im in no way a final say on all this, just stuff ive learned)

figuring out youre a system is hard, But talking to other systems definitely helps a whole lot. I cant speak on Every system being alright with talking about Being a system, but most that Ive known are fine with it. Few things in particular that i know are that generally. Having other people talking in your head (or even just more of you) is a sign Most Definitely. Assuming you dont have any psycosis type disorders

Osdd and DID are Different in a few ways, if youre sure you have OSDD more id suggest looking into 1a and 1b, which is mostly on amnesia and how differencianted alters are from eachother. And also into DID regular and UDD (unspecfied disassociative disorder).

Things that helped me in particular were (to. what i remember at the very least since some of this was YEARS ago) realizing i remember almost Nothing ever, still dont really but. Man that so isnt normal even with depression apparently! Other people telling me I acted off or weird or just Different was also a little tip off. The Other Voices thing also is something that. Is so weird to me. But yes I would also enjoy hearing from other systems about this - Mod Tubbo

[moved-danganronpamess]

I saw requests are open, so if it’s not to much to ask could I possibly request a gender neutral reader comforting sad ishimaru, gundham, sonia, and byakuya (dr1) in the game? I wish to cuddle and hug them—(also I LOVE YALLS WRITIN I WENT ON A SPREE READING THROUGH THE MASTERLIST ITS ALL V GOOD::33 ::DDDD)

Aww man! My first request, heehee!

I'm sure all the other mods appreciate your kudos! I hope it’s alright that I answered your ask despite being new, I just couldn’t resist! I wanna hug and cuddle these cuties too, they deserve it for all they’ve been through. I only wrote Ishimaru and Byakuya for now, I hope that’s alright! I’ll be sure to post Sonia and Gundham another time!  

I hope you enjoy it, my buttercup baby! <3

- 🌺💖Mod Rantaro💖🌺

gn!S/O comforting a sad Ishimaru and Byakuya during the killing game!

Kiyotaka Ishimaru

You and Taka were very close. From the start of this sick, horrible killing game you were forced to play, you two naturally gravitated towards eachother. You formed an extremely tight bond in a very short amount of time.

A bond tight enough to spend almost all of your free time together, sometimes in each other’s dorm rooms or around the school.

Y’all vibed hardcore-

But, with everything going on, Taka started to feel... A bit down.

The school... Wasn’t exactly a school. There were no teachers, no classes no schoolwork or homework. To most students, that would be heaven (if it weren’t for the fact everyone was trapped inside the school for the rest of their time), but for the Ultimate Moral Compass... It was almost torture.

Taka took a lot of pride in his hard work. The countless flawless grades and extra credit (that he didn’t even need, but got anyway), constant praise from his teachers and family for nothing but said work, it warped his sense of self-worth to the point that, if he wasn’t working or being successful, he didn’t matter.

And you took notice of that. You took notice of how he seemed to get more down with each passing day where he couldn’t study or show off his current knowledge.

And Taka started to get self-loathing thoughts about the whole situation. How he was useless, unworthy, or just a bother if he couldn’t work.

He knew this was unhealthy, but he kept it to himself for quite some time, until he couldn’t take having these thoughts anymore. He needed someone to talk to, and he knew you could help.

It was somewhere in the afternoon, around 6-7 PM, you couldn’t bother to look at the exact time. 

You heard a somewhat frantic knock at the door, and went to crack it open. Peeping through the opening, you noticed Taka’s tearful expression. 

You threw open the door, letting your friend inside, “Taka, what’s wrong?! Did something happen?!”, you panicked, closing the door after him.

Taka quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, already feeling bad for making you worry over nothing.

“N-no, no! Nothing happened!”, he reassured you, and you let out a relieved sigh. But... What was wrong, then?

“Are you ok, Ishi?”, you grabbed your friend’s hand, leading him to your bed. You both sat down, as you laced your fingers with his, not planning to let go, “Tell me what’s wrong.”

Taka ignored his quick heartbeat, as he told you about how he felt. His voice shook, and his vision was blurred with tears as he rambled about how useless he felt. If he couldn’t study, take tests or answer teachers’ questions, what was he even good for?

You pulled him into a hug, letting him rest his head on your shoulder. You debunked every bad word he said about himself, telling him how his talent and academic achievements didn’t define him as a person. He was a wonderful, caring friend who you were incredibly lucky to have, not some studying machine you expected to be the best at everything.

You knew how much he valued knowledge, so you suggested starting some new hobbies together like... Art, or chess, or sewing... Anything you could think of at the moment that would get you two to learn and expand your horizons.

Your touch and reassuring words comforted him... You were so considerate with your words and found a way to get him out of that low, low state so easily. You even wanted to try those hobbies with him! He never really felt so cared for. Your hand ran through his hair so delicately, he felt like he could melt. He never wanted to let go...

He was so lucky to have you.

 Byakuya Togami :

Byakuya was in the school library, as per usual. Reading a book about who-knows-what and trying to distract himself from the dark fog slowly forming in his head.

He was thinking about everything that was taken away from him. From his success and wealth, to his family’s Corporation, everything that he fought for and righteously owned... Gone. Probably forever.

It messed with him, it really did. He felt like all he went through to get to the top was worthless. That his years of fighting were wasted on nothing.

He tried to push these feelings away. Wallowing over the fact that he was trapped in Hope’s Peak until his damnation wouldn’t help his situation. He even tried to deny his sadness, and practically ran from his emotions, opting to distract himself instead. 

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard you call out his name. He loudly slammed his book shut, not even bothering to mark where he stopped at, then turned to your direction, coldly asking: “What do you want?”

Now, your relationship with Togami was strange. At least, from your perspective. He was self-centered, cold and difficult to talk to, but that’s part of the reason why he was so intriguing to you. You always tried to talk to him, even if he responded rudely to you every time. You noticed his very slight shift in nature when he interacted with you. He was still cold, yes, but it was almost toned down.

There was something about you that he found intriguing too. You always  had something to say to him, something to add, a comeback to an insult he may’ve thrown at you once or twice. He found you amusing, and certainly didn’t want to push you away.

You walked into the library, closing the door behind you, “I’m just here to check on you. You don’t have to be so sour about it.”

“I’m fine. Now leave, you’re distracting me.”, Byakuya tried to go back to his reading, planning to ignore you, but you proved that to be difficult by coming up to the desk, and sitting down on it.

Before Togami could tell you to move, you asked: “You doin’ ok? You seem sad.”

That... Took him aback. It was clear he didn’t expect your question.

He didn’t even know how to reply. Part of him wanted to talk to you, and the other just wanted to get you away from him. 

You hummed at his silence, then said, leaning over to rest your elbows on you knees, chin propped in your hands, “I can tell you how I’m feeling, if that would make you wanna talk about it.”

Byakuya sighed, “Fine, because I know you’ll keep bothering me about it if I don’t listen to you.”

You made him promise to talk about his own feelings btw it was an incredibly long, annoying and difficult process and he actually tried to leave the room several times but yOU CONVINCED HIM AND YOU DID IT GOOD JOB

Byakuya's superiority complex really said "no❤️"

And so, you rambled for a while. About how you felt, what you missed, what you wanted to do, and he listened. He may've looked somewhat disinterested, but it was far from that. He wanted to hear you, he was just too proud to fully admit it.

But when it was his turn to talk, he hesitated. He hesitated a lot, actually, and you had to convince him to speak all over again.

And he did! Of course, adding a lot of "I suppose"s and "maybe"s/"possibly"s to his sentences to distance himself from his emotions. He didn't tell you everything, but he did say a majority of his feelings. And... He really felt better.

Subconsciously, you went to pat the top of his head, telling him you're proud that he opened up to you.

Then you realized what you did.

"Oh, sorry! I probably shouldn't-"

As you went to pull your hand away, Togami quickly snatched your wrist, and put your hand back on his head, saying: "This- stays between us, understand?"

You smiled, seeing his rose-tinted cheeks, as your ran your hand through his hair absentmindedly.

As he went back to his reading, you two sat together in a comfortable silence, and a ghost of a grin appeared on his face.

... He could get used to this.

Make sure to drink some water, take any meds you may need to, and maybe eat some fruit or candy! Lotsa love from me, my buttercup baby! <3

Monisuki and Natsuri headcanons

Monisuki

After a few weeks in the literature club, Monika and Natsuki had become rather close, Monika slowly began to understand why Natsuki was the way she as, slowly learning about her home situation the more time they spent together.

Monika started packing snacks for Natsuki when she learned she wasn’t able to get her own lunch at school, giving her one everyday before their club meetings or whenever she see’s her at lunch.

Eventually, Monika starts inviting Natsuki over to eat dinner at her house. Natsuki was a bit nervous at first, but eventually caved in and agreed to go once a week, which then turned into every other week, which then turned into anytime Natsuki felt comfortable eating there.

Natsuki didn’t want to burden Monika too much by eating over there too much, but Monika’s parents reassured her that they were absolutely fine with Natsuki joining them if she wants to, they even started gaining a habit of setting up a spot at the table for her.

Natsuki was the first to catch feelings, and she couldn’t handle this at all. She was terrified that her father was gonna find out. Who knows what he would do if he found out she fell in love with another girl? He already wasn’t the kindest to her, and if he found out about this?

So, her solution? Tsundere levels to the max.

she started being much ruder to Monika than before, going over her house to eat less and less, and even just stopping entirely. But she found that the more she distanced herself from Monika, the more she felt herself falling more I love with her, which just made her feel worse.

Natsuki happened to accidentally confess when Monika confronted her about her change in behaviors and they got into an arguement. It was the mid arguement “Because I love you ok?!” Type of confession too.

Natsuki couldn’t help but feel herself become embarrassed as she started stumbling over her own words, realizing what she just said. Now she really screwed herself over, Monika surely had to hate her now.

”Oh Natsuki, why didn’t you just say so sooner?!” Monika said, giggling slightly as she smiled down at Natsuki, before hugging her tightly, before exclaiming “I love you too!”

Natsuki couldn’t help but blush and burry her face in Monika’s chest before stuttering out “Shut up, it’s not like I wanted you to live me back! I was just saying!”

Monika simply giggled before pulling away from Natsuki, letting her wander back off to read her manga. Monika made a mental note of Natsuki’s behavior changes at to make sure that Natsuki got fed everyday she could. It’s the least she could do if it meant keeping Natsuki safe and healthy.

Natsuri

No matter how much they would relate to eachother, Natsuki and Yuri always had some sort of disagreement. But oddley enough, they were always seen as the closest to in the club.

They always seems to be he ones to bond over eachothers emotions and thoughts, and could often be seen hanging out together, bonding over reading and stuff.

Natsuki, again, upon realizing her feelings was terrified of what her father would think. Though this time she knew she couldn’t just distance herself from Yuri, that would hurt Yuri too much, especially sense to her, they only had each other to rely on.

So instead, Natsuki became more quite and closed off, not distancing herself, but not exactly getting closer to Her. Yuri didn’t notice this change until maybe a week or so, in which she herself started developing feelings for Natsuki.

Yuri was of course the one to confess, sneaking a love poem into her manga collection that when summerized, ask Natsuki if they wanted to hang out outside of school sometimes as a date of sorts, with “yes or no” checkboxes at the bottom.

When Natsuki found it, she was hesitant to respond, but eventually did, throwing the peice of paper around a corner at Yuri, a red check in the yes box. She would’ve given the note or responded to Yuri in person, but she was still trying to come to terms with her own feelings.

This became how they communicated for a short while, Leaving Notes for eachother usually in the sequence of Yuri leaving the first note, and Natsuki throwing it back at her with the answer written in it.

It took quite awhile for them to actually start verbally talking to eachother again, and even longer after that for them to actually start dating. Of course, they never told the other club members about this, they felt a bit too embarrassed to tell them, and it’s not like they needed to know right.

Though that wouldn’t really matter as Sayori and Monika had thought the two were dating way before they actually got together.
