YOSHIDA Sokhna (吉田 ソクナ)

Here's my design of Taisei Yoshida's mother :) She is an accountant at Yoshida Motors, married to Shigeo. Her daughter is college aged, named Tomoko.

In my headcanon, she is from Senegal 🇸🇳 , and met her husband during a Paris-Dakar event during the 1980s.

She learnt japanese on a whim, in addition to her native wolof, french and arabic, and moved to Kunugigaoka after her marriage.

in intrest in antagonistic characters...its too strong.!! STOP! STOP APPLYING THE SONGS THAT MATCH OTHER CHARATCERS BETER NO NOOOOOOOOOOOO-

(in relation to Cobalt and Mew of Reality from the pmd webcomic, Hope In Friends").

for SOME context cobalt is a unrepentant bully who beats up a blind kid and mew of reality is a tyrant demi-god mew who is basically a toxic ass influence. (she has done SOO MUCH more but )

[hoshifighting]

I don’t know if this has already been done but, I was wondering if you can do a reaction to SVT members hearing a member and their S/O having sex

Seventeen members hearing a member and their S/O having sex

Seungcheol: raises an eyebrow, chuckling to himself as he thinks, "well, looks like someone's having a good time." not wanting to even dream about who it could be making so much noise that late.

Jeonghan: smirks knowingly, exchanging a glance with Joshua, before casually remarking, "sounds like they're getting pretty into it." and he would probably be one of those who would make fun of the member.

Joshua: "tsk... guess they're not holding back tonight." he would keep complaining to himself, turning up the sound on the TV.

Junhui: he would probably keep his face as static as possible, avoiding contact with the member for a few hours afterward. maybe a lil' traumatized?

Soonyoung: widens his eyes in mock surprise, "just now that I'm dry asf. I wish it was me, do you know if --- is home?"

Wonwoo: raises an eyebrow, not missing a beat in his game, though inwardly thinking, "they could at least try to be a bit quieter." another that would try to increase the volume of the headphones to avoid further constraints. if the other members would listen… it was no longer his problem.

Jihoon: rolls his eyes, muttering to himself, "can't they keep it down for once? some of us are trying to work here." I would pick up his things and go to the studio… which is soundproof.

Mingyu: he would accidentally have a boner, not because of the S/O, or the member, is just It's just because it reminded him of sexual memories of himself.

Minghao: he would judge right away "how do they have so much energy? just listening to it makes me tired." he would say to himself.

Seokmin: blushes furiously, feeling awkward and embarrassed by the sounds coming from the other room. he shifts uncomfortably in his seat, trying to focus on anything other than the noises filtering through the walls.

Seungkwan: would sulk upon realizing what was happening, feeling a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment. "not again," he'd mutter to himself, rolling his eyes and trying to drown out the noise with his own activities.

Vernon: Vernon's mistake this day was arriving home early, not even giving him time to take off his shoes at the entrance. catching the sounds from the main door. he'd immediately feel awkward, swiftly making his exit.

Chan: understanding the hectic schedule and lack of privacy the members face, Chan would be the least bothered by the situation. he'd simply shrug it off, knowing that the dorms serve as a refuge for the members to unwind and have some privacy.

You know what I feel we need more of?

Community centers.

Specifically, places where people can gather, have fun, host events or even just hang out. Similar to what libraries are, but not quite--a place where kids can be loud and rowdy and hang out, make friends, practice sports. Though they definitely should still have quiet areas, maybe craft rooms too. A nice place to go to and hang out after school before you're ready to head home--or a safe place to stay if you don't want to head home. Community centers could also still be fantastic for adults too--they could be used as a place to host classes on different crafts, or repairs, etc.--and still be a perfectly valid place to hang out and seek refuge.

Places like these do exist in many places in a few different forms, but a lot of them are directly tied to organizations and groups that may make people more hesitant to partake in them (ie churches, Police Athletic Leagues), or they have a cost barrier to taking part of the amenities (YMCA). While these places are definitely suitable and fulfilling for many people, they're often limiting and stifling for others--if not just flat-out inaccessible. Not to mention, they don't all fill the roles I mentioned above.

I think having robust community centers would be great for societies all over. I'll admit, my imagination is a bit grand--community gardens, sports rec rooms, swimming pools, reading and craft rooms, a repair cafe, a food cafe, maybe a dorming area for overnight stays, soup kitchens, showers, mutual aid closets and such.

Though I guess that brings about the question of how this would be funded. With churches, it's tithes and other forms of community fundraising. With police athletic leagues, its... taxes, I guess? Alongside other donations. And with the YMCA, it's memberships that provide the funding for their amenities. My initial instinct is to say a mix of taxes and maybe some community contributions would be what funds a good community center, but then there comes the issue of some places having better or worse community centers depending on the median income of their area... especially when you see how places like libraries already get little funding in favor of larger policing budgets (the libraries in my city are all closed on Sundays, and have shorter hours in general, for example)

I know I'm just rambling at this point. I just think community centers are cool! They're punk! And we should have them--cool, fun community centers!

Catnap X introverted ! Fox smiling critter! Reader

Though unlike catnap they take it to another means of extreme, it's not by any means that they're shy it's just they go by any means to isolate themselves because they're not used to such an outgoing environment.

I guess since both of them are introverted and won't make any means of initiation, let's say that both of them find themselves going to the same spot they use to hide from people not knowing the other uses it time by time.

They get used to each other (involuntarily) because it's the only hiding spot that none of the other critters are aware of, so they have to tolerate each others presence and what if catnap gets interested in reader because of how enigmatic they are and maybe even get a lil crush on them :3

Awh, cute!

Trigger warnings: none

Hiding From You, Only to Hide With You

Foxes were normally very outgoing, much like dogs or pet birds. But you were a bit different, being considered the ‘hidden smiling critter’ from your shyness. The others never saw you, maybe a glimpse but if they somehow remembered your name despite never seeing you and then try to talk to you, you'll run and hide.

You were laying down in your little hidey hole, it was small but big enough for at least three of you. It was cozy and warm, and isolated. It was your refuge from the world.. or, well was until you opened your eyes and saw a certain feline staring at you with confusion as he had one foot in as if he was going to get in with you. “What are you doing here? Uh..” he thought for a moment, trying to remember your name.

“I'm just hiding.” You mumbled, the words having lost all meaning through your barely parting lips while almost too quiet for him to hear. You noticed how he forgot your name and after some thought, you answered with the same amount of timidness if not more. “(Y/n)..”

He nodded and hummed, before getting in the hidey hole. “Well, scoot over.” He said before kneading the ground beneath him, purring as he loafed and prepared for a nap. You awkwardly stared at him and thought about if you should stay or if you should go, but ultimately decided to stay due to no other hiding spot being oblivious to the others.

And it just kept happening time and time again after that. After maybe the fifth repeat, you two finally started talking. With catnap initiating of course because he didn't like basically sleeping next to some person he didn't know. So he asked the basic questions and answered for himself, but he found it strange how shy you were.

On the seventh time, he was almost excited to see if you were there. Which you were. He crawled inside and happily snuggled up, purring and even nuzzling his head against the crook of your neck and head. His ears twitched and his tail gently swayed about. “Do you just like..

Live here?” He asked with curiosity, slightly joking but at the same time not.

You shook your head, speaking up softly. Your speech was still quiet but it felt like with every interaction it slowly grew louder. “Well, no.. but I like to lay here.. it's nice and cozy, and away from everybody..” you murmured, just slightly above a whisper but loud enough for him to hear. He thought about that and nodded with a smile.

“Well, not everybody.”

Thanks for requesting!

Charles Brook: 10.10.1970 Hi! Just got hired officially as the computer supervisor for "Unnamed Bunny Smiles Restaurant" (though I've been coming up with a few names myself) I've known these guys for a while, they're family! I've done some work for them along with Susan for years now, even before CyberFun Tech! Getting to meet the Waltens and the Krankens has been super fun! So excited to get to work! The future is bright. C. B. P. 27:12

Worth noting, P. 27:12 is a proverb from the bible, "The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty."

At 8:40, in text that is upside down and flipped

Mr. Kranken This is Norman. I’m sending you this letter on behalf of our deal between Bunny Smiles and CyberFun Tech and most importantly, the well-being of our Cyberfun staff. We’ve been getting a lot of complaints about a member of our staff going missing who was highly associated with you and your team. Susan Woodings has been missing for a week now and here in CyberFun Tech we are working as hard as we can to try and manage to get in contact with her. Is there perhaps any detail you could hand us to help locate our missing employee? I’m going to be entirely honest with you, Mr. Kranken, and tell you I have a ton of questions and suspicions about whatever is going on with your company. Whatever it is, it’s making both your company and mine look bad to public light so, again, if there’s anything that could help us find Susan, write us back immediately. Thank you. I’ll see you Monday.

A second later, a sentence appears

BSI Notes [crossed out] The BSI Console The Bunny Smiles Incorporated console allows the robots of Bon's Burgers feel a lot more lifelike and allow for a more fun and interesting experience. I think this is an ambitious and innovating concept I would've never expected to make in my life. Susan did not disappoint at all. Absolutely stunning and delicate work. Jack was fascinated.

okey dokey! i just finished the fallout show! some Thoughts under the read more

tl:dr, the (bethesda) fallout vibes were definitely there. i liked it as a show on its own merits but as a part of the series canon... i'm mad, and that anger is kind of overriding the little i liked about it. overall maybe 2.5/5 stars and im being generous

things i liked:

visually, it's stunning - i could see scenes already being made into gifsets - the color grading is pretty good; even in dark scenes i could see and understand what was happening

the sets are soooo good!! costume design was alright too

title cards were fun and cute

they did some interesting stuff with the cultures of both vault 33 and the brotherhood of steel

they used the sound effects from the games :)

i liked the wastelanders!!! big npc and random encounter energy. i kind of want a whole show of just them. for example i love the marketplace and settlement in filly; it feels very lived in

the background characters weren't just young thin able-bodied conventionally attractive white people :) there's so many elders, which i loved!! ma june and barv were cool. i love gruff old lesbians

lucy!!! she was already kind of weird and a little off-putting even in vault 33 ("what's your sperm count" as an opener to the husband she was just arranged married to is WILD) and i like that. she's sweet and bullheaded and surprisingly competent :)

maximus is kind of an ass, but is also a pathetic nerd and brotherhood dickrider who actually doesn't really know anything. kind of a girlfailure

the ghoul was pretty cool too!! i liked him, though more for his prewar story than the one he has post-apocalypse

lucy's brother norman kinda grew on me. "i lack enthusiasm for every job that i do here" so relateable. also short king <3

THE DENTIST THAT BUYS TEETH. never thought that would be a Thing but now that i think about it, it makes sense

the monsters that we have were cool!! wish there had been more of them

MATT BERRY IS IN THIS!! i just really like him so i got excited :))

maximus and lucy's "wanna have sex?" talk LMAO

vault 4's various mutations!!

those giant unwieldy fuckass duffel bags that brotherhood squires lug around hahahhahahaaha

vault 4 and its genetic experiments because its main conceit is that it was ruled by scientists who hybridized humans. it's exactly the right amount of fucked up i want in a vault

i like that the protagonists regularly get captured and eat shit

FRED ARMISEN IS ALSO HERE

haha hacking minigame :) also chatting via terminals (and im assuming pipboys?) is canon now

they're growing crops in the wasteland + bustling trade + livestock + pets yay

robobrain was cute

things i was just ok with:

dane, the they/them brotherhood of steel aspirant who was fucked over so maximus can get their spot as a squire LMAO what a waste of a potentially cool character

IT'S SO FUNNY that there's yodelling whenever the ghoul comes into the scene ????? WHY

fight scenes.... pretty good but someone definitely had the bloody mess perk (i don't do well with gore so ew yucky). also lots of [VATS NOISE]

pipboy was not used as much as i thought it would be

cousin stuff... i get it, i guess in a vault you'd have a lot of cousins and not a lot of choice, so some incest would probably happen

the ghoul being vault boy's inspiration?? not sure what to feel about that tbh

the casual dismemberments... and equally casual attaching of limbs... not even prosthetic limbs.....

the vaulties eating good healthy well-balanced meals. giving out caviar in the welcome basket. kinda 50/50 on it

the vault 31 - 32 - 33 subplot couldve been more fucked up

have brotherhood knights always been celibate or did i miss the memo

there are regular chickens and... deer? for some reason?

the ghoul's design. it's fine in action but mostly it's meh

the vault 4 cult for moldaver

vault 4 as a refuge for shady sands survivors. im mad about it but like. i get it

that guys "elixir" (some altered jet??) fixing everything about thaddeus' foot instantenously AND GIVING HIM HEALING POWERS???

things i did not like:

lucy's plot premise is very much fallout 3 redux

lucy and maximus as a ship is very meh and kind of forced and not compelling. go give us nothing!!!

wilzig's head as a macguffin that everyone is after... ehh kind of just okay as a plot device

also the ghoul randomly eating that other ghoul???

the squire who bullied maximus calls himself fat but he isn't fat?? not even chubby??? hello????? just got a soft face

water chip being fucked feels very fallout 3 also but they kind of dropped it?

they definitely named cooper howard after todd. as tribute probably, which he doesn't deserve

fiend = cannibal now?????

maximus recognizing vault 4 as a cult but not recognizing the brotherhood as one lol

vault tec evil capitalism vs hollywood communists storyline was kind of basic. and bland. and weak

the enclave could've been established + explored better

no geckos or any other west coast-specific monsters

showing me ncr ranger armor when the ncr is gone

ghouls have healing powers?? WITHOUT RADIATION??

things i hated hated hated:

the ghoul needing drugs to combat the Disease That Turns Ghouls Feral

feral ghouls being basically zombies :/

IN EPISODE FIVE. THEY REVEAL. THAT SHADY SANDS. WAS BOMBED. THE ENTIRE NCR. WAS BOMBED. IN 2277. THE YEAR OF THE FIRST BATTLE OF HOOVER DAM

BASICALLY RETCONNED FNV?? IM PUTTING MY EARS IN MY FINGERS AND GOING LA LA LAAAAA

VAULT-TEC DROPPED THE BOMBS ???? BIG MT + MR HOUSE BEING IN ON IT????

THE BIG STUPID FUCKING REVEAL IN EPISODE EIGHT?? THAT THE OVERSEER BOMBED SHADY SANDS BECAUSE HIS WIFE DIDN'T WANT TO GO HOME WITH HIM??? FUCK THAT???

the brotherhood being the main faction of the west coast now. booo!! booo!!!!

the fucking last shot of new vegas being a burnt out husk. probably foreshadowing that hank is going to house's body but. UGH I HATE IT

to summarize: it came out strong! and stumbled hard falling face fucking first at the finish line. i would have liked it a lot more if it did not shit on the west coast as much as it did. because what the FUCK. if it was set literally anywhere else and left the ncr alone i would have liked it more, because on its own, as a self-contained story, divorced from the rest of the fallout series canon, it's not bad!!! it's fun, there's some good bits, it has the ~vibes~ but - and this is a big but - i don't know what it's trying to say. it's all very surface level and the very vague themes i picked up on are not really reiterated in the plot

it's like... the bits that make it fallout are there. vaults. the brotherhood. ghouls. a dog named dogmeat. but there's something lacking. it's like your usual sci-fi post-apocalypse show with a fallout veneer. idk. i like it for what it is but also i hate it for what it's emblematic of. that's all

[rthko]

I have been keeping tabs on trans memes and I loooove the transfem hag/fujoshi meme movement. I would guess that even though transitioning is the best decision they ever made, it was hard in some ways to separate from a community they used to have an uneasy home in. And even if they're secure in their gender it's hard to compute that "I'm... Straight now?" Especially when they grow up with the expectation of the other kind of straightness, when "straight" was shorthand for "masculine man" and they could take some kind of incomplete refuge in gay culture's effeminacy. And maybe men are attractive specifically because they seem gay, because that's who was sexually viable prior to coming out. And how are they able to express any of this against the expectation of being a proper woman with a convenient story, when any memory of their past that isn't simply miserable is leveraged as "proof" against their gender? And it turns out the language of being a party girl with her sassy gay friends kind of works to that end.

OKAY IM FEELING BRAVE N NOT GOING ANON SO HI!!!

Request: Yup! They're back open, too!

Some descriptions of the reader, nothing detailed, just dragon stuff.

Summary: Being a space dragon is cool. Except for when you're too tired to leave a planet.. Thankfully, you have help from a new friend.

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

-You're a space being.

-A celestial dragon, if you will.

-You're quite a majestic being, even having some of your own constellations named after you.

-Perks of being a beautiful immortal creature.

-While you're practically immortal, you can get tired, especially after traversing through the cosmos.

-So every so often, you gracefully land on a habitable planet, to regain your strength for a few days.

-You more or less crash landed on this one.

-It was called Ooo, if you recall correctly. You're sometimes allowed to name a few planets or stars, but this one has existed for longer than you have.

-It's a little embarrassing to be taking refuge in such an old planet.

-However, you had the funniest encounter while on Ooo.

-It was little more than twenty minutes after you crash landed in an icy forest.

-You had knocked down quite a few trees and stirred up quite the commotion in a town nearby, as they could see you flying in from the atmosphere.

-You were trying to take a few splinters out in your dragon form when you met...

-Him.

-It sounded so cheesy, but you had never seen a more beautiful thing in the universe.

-Safe to say you were floored.

-Literally.

-He and a few... What looked to be scouts and knights made of ice neared you cautiously.

-He seemed to recognize you, which was a little strange. You guessed there were history books of some sort written about you.

-He introduced himself as the Winter King, and welcomed you to Ooo.

-Yes, he had definitely heard of you.

-You decided to shift into your smaller form. It was still ethereal and god-like, but it was easier on the eyes than being a twenty-foot tall dragon.

-You kept your wings and horns, just parts of yourself that you thought to be enchanting.

-the Winter King spoke to you, a little shocked at your sudden shift. You were wearing clothes, what other mortal customs had you missed?

"Well, *ahem* it is my honor to meet a celestial being such as yourself! If I may ask, why choose this planet?"

-You explained that it was the nearest habitable planet, and that it didn't matter too much.

-You didn't think too highly of yourself, as you were quite low on the god-scale. Only a minor universal god, instead of being a multiversal god.

-If that made any sense.

-You politely asked Winter King if you could regain your strength in his kingdom.

"Oh, why of course! A- anything for someone such as yourself!" -His pale blue skin flushed in a pinkish tone, and his voice faltered ever so slightly.

-You tended to have that effect on people.

-However, he seemed to be handling your presence quite well, so part of you wondered if he were somewhat immortal, or was just a magic user in general.

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

-You stayed for a little less than two weeks, learning quite a bit as you took refuge.

-You were quite uneducated when it came to planets like Ooo, embarrassingly so, at times.

-But it felt nice to have Winter King explain things to you.

-He seemed so respectful, yet so interested in everything you did or said.

-It turned out he was an astronomy nerd, and stories of you were his favorite.

-He wrote down practically everything you said, but as time went on, it seemed less like worship and more like interactions between friends.

-You preferred it that way, to be honest.

-You learned not only much about Ooo, but also much about the Winter Kingdom as well.

-Whenever it snowed softly, you would always spend time outside, sometimes dragging Winter along with you.

-You did everything from nap, to play in the snow.

-It seemed childish, but the two of you had quite a bit of fun.

-Not to mention the food there was absolutely phenomenal.

-You swore that you would return the generous favor of the Winter King.

-When it eventually came time for you to leave the planet, the both of you were quite sad.

-However, you knew if you stayed longer, you'd never leave. And that wasn't good.

-You were out on the terrace, having said your goodbyes to Winter and the citizens, ready to shift to your ethereal form to take flight.

-However, you felt something nagging at you to stay for a few more moments.

-You were correct to wait.

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

Winter called your name, looking to have run all the way up here. He placed his hands on his knees and took a few deep breaths.

"Winter..? I thought you already said goodbye?" Winter cleared his throat and stood up, placing his hands behind his back. He'd regained his composure so quickly it was shocking. He cleared his throat once again.

"It just occurred to me that I never asked for that return favor.." You brought your hand up to your lips, ashamed you forgot your promise.

"I- Oh my word, I apologize. I forgot."

Winter assured you that it was no big deal, and that his favor was only a small one. He stepped towards you, almost shyly.

"Well, rest assured, I can do almost anything. There is a grey area in which I'm unable to give, but otherwise, I will do anything in my power to grant you what you seek."

Winter blushed, his gaze transfixed on the ground. He seemed to be at a loss for words. Your large wings twitched, and after a few moments, Winter seemed to have figured out what he wanted.

"If it's not too much to ask, I'd like to request..."

He looked up at you with the sweetest of smiles.

"A kiss."

You were taken aback for just a moment, but regained your composure as quickly as you lost it. You took a step towards Winter, returning his warm smile.

"Well, if that's all you seek, I would be more than happy to give you what you so desire."

Winter shifted in place with an almost giddy expression, and looking up at you, you could tell he had wanted this for quite some time.

You'd be a liar if you said you hadn't thought about it prior to today.

"I would much appreciate that."

He said simply. So making sure not to waste any more of your time, you bent down to Winter's height. Despite being in your smaller form, you were still quite a bit taller than anyone else.

You caught his lips in yours, holding the embrace for a few moments. His lips felt cold, and it was all you could have hoped for.

When you separated, you gently held his face in your clawed hands.

"I have truly cherished this time with you, and I wish I could have stayed longer. However, my higher duties must not be ignored."

Winter nodded in understanding, placing his small hand atop yours.

"I promise I will think of you often, and will call on you if I'm ever passing through this side of your galaxy. That I will swear." "But until then, my dear."

The only thing Winter could remember of that moment, was the feeling of your lips in his forehead, and the silhouette of your ethereal form, fading out of the atmosphere.

For send me character(s) and a letter and I’ll write you a minific!

Please do A with Dabi 💙💜

A/N: I hope you'll enjoy this little drabble, my dear ♥ The inspiration for this ficlet came from the following post

MY HERO ACADEMIA MASTERLIST

The snowstorm raged outside, a relentless dance of icy winds and swirling flakes that threatened to bury everything in its path.

"This is just fucking great," he grumbled, his usual indifference not hiding the annoyance in his voice. "Who sends people out in this weather?"

"Tomura," you replied, wrapping your jacket tighter around your figure.

"We need to find shelter," Dabi said, his tone more serious now. "This storm isn't letting up anytime soon."

You and Dabi, reluctantly paired up as "team" by Shigaraki, sent on a mission to gather critical intel, found yourselves seeking refuge in an old, abandoned house that creaked and moaned under the pressure of the storm.

The air inside the dilapidated structure was just as chilly as outside, and the cold seemed to seep through every crack and crevice.

Dabi, his blue flames flickering ominously from his palms, took charge. With a sly grin, he ignited some discarded materials, creating a makeshift fireplace in the center of the room.

You huddled close to the fire, relishing the warmth but still shivering from the lingering cold.

Dabi, seemingly indifferent to the freezing temperatures, settled beside you. The fire's glow reflected in his eyes as he glanced your way.

"So, we're a disposable pawns with a mission," he snarled, a hint of amusement in his gravelly voice. So, what do you think about the League?"

The flames cast eerie shadows on the walls as you considered his question. "They're certainly… unconventional. But their goals? I don't know. It's hard to wrap my head around it. I find myself without alternative options. Given my history of misdeeds, the prospect of a conventional, ordinary life remains elusive, you know."

Dabi's skepticism lingered in his gaze. "Don't expect too much. These people have their own way of doing things, and it's not for everyone. Specifically, a young woman hailing from an esteemed household, as that seems to be the background you come from, based on the information I've gathered from Giran."

You only scoffed, rolling your eyes.

As the conversation continued, the cold continued to nip at you.

Uncharacteristically, Dabi sighed and, with a flicker of hesitation, said, "Come here, Y/N."

You raised an eyebrow, puzzled by his sudden shift in demeanor. Nevertheless, you edged closer, and he enveloped you in his arms. His quirk emitted a comforting warmth, and you couldn't help but lean into it.

"You're freezing," he stated matter-of-factly, as if it were the most natural thing for him to notice. "Fuck, this is exactly what I need - my partner freezing her ass off in this fucking weather."

"I can handle it," you insisted, although your teeth betrayed your words with an involuntary chatter.

Dabi rolled his eyes. "Stop being stubborn, Y/N. Just sit on my lap. I can make myself warmer if I want to."

You hesitated, unsure of the unexpected intimacy. But the cold won over, and you found yourself gingerly perching on his lap, still shivering like a leaf caught in the storm.

Dabi's arms encircled you, holding you close. The flames from a fireplace danced in his eyes as he spoke, his voice softer now, "You know, I didn't expect anyone to stick around. My appearance tends to drive people away."

The vulnerability in his admission caught you off guard. "Well, appearances can be deceiving," you replied, trying to sound reassuring. "And you ain't that bad, man."

He nodded, a subtle gratitude in his eyes. "Guess you're different."

Silence settled between you, only broken by the crackling of the fire. The warmth of Dabi's embrace began to thaw the chill in your bones. In that vulnerable moment, he hesitated before finally confessing, out of sudden, "I like you, Y/N."

The admission hung in the air, the crackling fire casting a warm glow on the revelation. As Dabi confessed, your response was a quiet smile that held a blend of sincerity and acknowledgment of his gruff demeanor. "I like you too," you replied, your words carrying a teasing edge. "Even if your gruff ass is problematic at times."

Dabi's rough laughter echoed through the room, a surprising sound that seemed to cut through the cold like a welcomed flame. "Yeah, well, can't argue with that. I've got my issues."

He shifted slightly, the light of the fire highlighting the scars and staples that adorned his skin. In that moment, he seemed almost vulnerable, a stark contrast to the tough exterior he often projected. With a flicker of curiosity, he reached out and gently tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear. "You surprised me, you know?" he admitted, his gaze holding yours. "The day Giran brought you in, I was sure you'd last, what, two days? Tops. Figured you'd take one look at the League's shit and hightail it out of here."

You couldn't help but chuckle, the sincerity in his words catching you off guard. "Well, I guess I'm more resilient than you thought."

Dabi's smirk returned, a playfulness in his eyes. "Resilient and useful. You've pulled your weight a few times. I admire that, actually."

As the conversation hung in the air, he continued to study you. With a surprising gentleness, his fingers traced a path from your cheek to behind your ear, the touch leaving a trail of warmth in its wake.

Shivering slightly, not entirely due to the cold, you found yourself captivated by the closeness. His scarred face, illuminated by the flickering flames, told a story of pain and resilience. In the dance of firelight, you observed the lines etched on his skin, the staples that held it together — a testament to a life lived on the edge.

Your lips parted slightly, breath catching as you observed him. It was a moment of vulnerability, a shared understanding beneath the surface of gruff exteriors.

Dabi's gaze met yours, and for a heartbeat, the world outside the abandoned house ceased to exist. In a bold move, he closed the already minimal distance between you, capturing your lips in a kiss that was as unexpected as it was intense. The initial contact was almost clumsy, a collision of warmth against the coldness of your lips.

Taken off guard, you hesitated for a moment before surrendering to the unexpected intimacy. The kiss was messy at first, a tumultuous exploration of unspoken emotions.

His hands cradled your face, the heat from the fireplace mirrored in the heat exchanged between you. As the seconds passed, the kiss deepened, becoming a dance of tongues in unison. The initial awkwardness transformed into a shared rhythm, a connection forged in the heat of the moment.

As the kiss finally broke, a warmth lingered between you and Dabi. You felt his fingers gently brushing against your lips, mirroring the touch of your fingertips as you touched them in a dazed realization. The firelight painted a soft glow on both your faces, and when you looked into Dabi's eyes, there was a tenderness that seemed to soften the rough edges.

"Guess I've got some surprises left in me," he muttered, a rare hint of a smile playing on his lips.

You couldn't help but return the smile, your fingers gently tracing the lines of his face, the scars and staples that told a story of resilience.

"Maybe I like surprises," you replied.

His hand found yours, fingers interlacing in a silent agreement.

As you leaned in, pressing a soft kiss on Dabi's cheek, the fire continued to burn, casting a warm glow on the scene. The snowstorm howled outside, but within the walls of the abandoned house, a different kind of warmth prevailed — a warmth born from shared vulnerability, unexpected connections, and the sweet taste of a kiss that defied the cold reality of their surroundings.

Pregnancy PT 2

Regina and Y/N got Twins. It's four years later.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Four years had flown by since the arrival of Jake and Leighton, and Y/N and Regina found themselves basking in the warmth of a summer day. The twins, now lively toddlers, splashed happily in the pool with their beloved chihuahua, Sprinkle, while Regina bustled about the kitchen, preparing snacks for their guests.

As Y/N watched the twins frolic in the water, a mischievous thought crossed her mind. "Hey, Regina, what do you say we invite the gang over for a pool day?"

Regina glanced up from her task, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "That sounds like a great idea, Y/N. It's been too long since we've all hung out together."

With Regina's approval, Y/N wasted no time in sending out the invitations. Cady and her boyfriend Colton, along with their daughter Rachel, Damian and his boyfriend Tristan, Janis and her girlfriend Kara with their two kids Evan and Layla, Karen and her boyfriend Jordan, and Gretchen and her boyfriend Samm were all invited to join in the fun.

As their friends arrived, laughter and chatter filled the air. The backyard echoed with the sounds of children's laughter and playful splashing as the adults settled in around the pool, catching up and enjoying each other's company.

Regina emerged from the kitchen, a tray of snacks in hand, her smile radiant as she greeted their guests. "Welcome, everyone! Help yourselves to some snacks and drinks. Let's make this a day to remember."

Y/N grinned as she watched Regina effortlessly navigate the social scene, her natural charisma drawing everyone in. Taking advantage of the distraction, Y/N slipped into the pool, joining the twins in their playful antics.

As the warm summer sun beat down on the backyard, the pool area was a hive of activity. Regina, Karen, and Gretchen lounged on pool chairs, soaking up the sun's rays and indulging in some well-deserved relaxation. Nearby, Y/N, Cady, Janis, and Damian played with the kids in the pool, their laughter mingling with the splashes of water.

Tristan, Colton, Jordan, and Samm found refuge from the heat in the hot tub, their voices drifting lazily in the air as they enjoyed the soothing warmth of the bubbling water.

Y/N leaned in close to Damian, Janis, and Cady, a mischievous glint in her eye as she whispered to them. "Doesn't it feel like the Plastics are back?" she said, nodding discreetly toward Regina, Karen, and Gretchen.

Damian snickered, glancing over at the trio lounging on the pool chairs. "You might be onto something there, Y/N. They've got that classic Plastics vibe going on."

Janis smirked, her lips curling into a knowing smile. "Looks like old habits die hard. Regina, Karen, and Gretchen were always the queens of gossiping by the pool."

Cady chuckled, shaking her head in amusement. "Well, as long as they're having fun, I guess it's all good. Just reminds me of the good old high school days."

Meanwhile, in the hot tub, Tristan raised his eyebrows as he overheard the conversation. "Did someone mention the Plastics?" he asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

Colton nodded, a smirk playing on his lips. "Seems like Regina, Karen, and Gretchen are channeling their inner mean girls again."

Jordan laughed, taking a sip of his drink. "Ah, high school drama. Some things never change."

Samm grinned, leaning back against the edge of the hot tub. "Well, as long as they're not causing any trouble, I say let them have their fun."

Back in the pool, Y/N couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Regina, Karen, and Gretchen, their heads close together as they whispered and giggled like they were back in their high school days.

As Y/N lounged by the pool, her gaze occasionally drifting to her wife Regina's sun-kissed body, Regina couldn't help but catch her staring. With a smirk playing on her lips, Regina adopted her trademark mean girl attitude, arching an eyebrow at Y/N.

"What's the matter, Y/N? Like what you see?" Regina teased, her tone laced with playful mockery.

Y/N chuckled, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Oh, you know me, Regina. I can't resist admiring your fabulousness."

Regina rolled her eyes, but there was a hint of amusement in her expression. "Flattery will get you nowhere, Y/N. But I'll allow it just this once."

Meanwhile, Layla and Evan, Janis and Kara's kids, engaged in a lighthearted battle of words, their banter filled with playful jabs and exaggerated boasts. Rachel and Karen's daughter, Rachel, joined in the fray, her competitive spirit matching that of her peers.

Gretchen, always one to seize the moment, decided to join in the fun, launching herself into the pool with a splash that elicited laughter from the entire group.

As the kids frolicked in the water, Damian struck up a conversation with Karen, their laughter mingling with the sounds of splashing and playful chatter.

Y/N, seizing the opportunity for some relaxation, settled into the pool chair next to Regina, enjoying the warmth of the sun on her skin as she watched the scene unfold.

As Leighton gleefully jumped into the water near her brother Jake, the playful atmosphere took a sudden turn as the twins found themselves entangled in a heated squabble. Leighton's laughter quickly turned into teasing as she mocked her brother, her playful taunts only fueling Jake's frustration.

"My hair is ruined!" Jake exclaimed, his voice filled with indignation as he pointed accusingly at his twin sister.

Leighton couldn't help but giggle at her brother's distress, her mischievous grin widening as she continued to poke fun at him.

Regina, ever the vigilant mom, swiftly intervened, her mean girl attitude shining through even in moments of maternal discipline. "Alright, you two, that's enough," she declared, her tone firm as she addressed her feuding offspring. "We don't need any more drama in this pool. Behave yourselves."

Y/N couldn't suppress her laughter at Regina's stern warning, finding amusement in her wife's mean girl mom persona. "Looks like Jake inherited a few of your mean girl traits, Regina," she teased, nudging Regina playfully.

Regina shot Y/N a mock glare, but there was a hint of amusement in her eyes. "Hey, don't blame me for that," she retorted, her lips curling into a smirk. "He's definitely got his own attitude."

As the twins continued to bicker, Y/N couldn't help but find humor in the situation. "Well, at least they're keeping things interesting," she remarked, her laughter ringing out across the poolside.

Leighton couldn't contain her amusement as she continued to taunt her brother, her teasing only escalating the tension between them.

Regina, always quick to intervene, stepped in with a stern warning. "Alright, you two, knock it off," she commanded, her tone dripping with authority. "I won't tolerate this kind of behavior."

Y/N couldn't help but stifle a giggle at Regina's mean girl mom attitude, finding amusement in her wife's ability to handle their children with a firm hand.

"Looks like Jake inherited a few of your mean girl traits, Regina," Y/N teased, nudging Regina playfully.

Regina shot Y/N a playful glare, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. "Don't give him any ideas," she quipped, a hint of amusement in her tone.

But as the twins' argument persisted, Regina's patience began to wear thin. "I mean it, you two," she warned, her voice stern as she addressed Jake and Leighton. "Stop this nonsense right now, or there will be consequences."

Jake, never one to back down, responded defiantly. "You can't tell me what to do," he retorted, his tone laced with defiance.

Y/N's expression turned serious as she warned Jake, "Watch your tone, young man. You don't talk to your mother like that."

But Jake, fueled by frustration, lashed out with hurtful words. Y/N winced, knowing that Regina's explosive reaction was imminent.

"Ooohhh," Y/N whispered under her breath, bracing herself for Regina's inevitable eruption.

True to form, Regina exploded in her signature fashion, using Jake's full name as she delivered one final warning. "Jacob Alexander George, that's enough!" she exclaimed, her voice ringing out across the pool. "One more word out of you, and you're grounded for a month. Do you understand me?"

Jake rolled his eyes, his defiance showing no signs of abating. But Regina's unwavering gaze left no room for negotiation.

Y/N knew that Regina was truly furious when she used their son's full name.

As Jake stormed off inside, clearly annoyed and angry, Regina let out a heavy sigh, watching him go with a concerned expression on her face. "Just let him cool off for a bit," she said to the group, her voice tinged with worry. "I'll go talk to him later."

Y/N nodded in understanding, placing a reassuring hand on Regina's shoulder. "He'll be okay, Gina. Sometimes he just needs a moment to himself," she offered, her voice gentle and comforting.

Meanwhile, Janis approached Y/N, her expression sympathetic. "Rough day with the twins?" she asked, her tone filled with understanding.

Y/N sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Tell me about it," she replied, shaking her head. "Sometimes I feel like we're raising a pair of miniature Regina Georges."

Janis chuckled, nodding in agreement. "Well, they do say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," she remarked, a hint of amusement in her voice.

With a shared laugh, Y/N and Janis rejoined the group in the pool, determined to shake off the tension and enjoy the rest of the day.

As the afternoon wore on, laughter and playful splashing filled the air once more as everyone got back to having fun. Regina couldn't help but steal glances towards the house, still worried about Jake's mood.

Y/N found Jake sitting on the sofa, a deep pout etched on his face. She approached him with a concerned expression, taking a seat beside him.

"Hey, buddy," Y/N began gently, placing a hand on Jake's shoulder. "You okay?"

Jake shrugged, his expression sullen. "I guess," he muttered, avoiding eye contact.

Y/N sighed softly, knowing that her son needed some guidance. "Jake, you know you can't talk to your mom like that," she said firmly, her tone gentle but firm.

Jake looked up, meeting Y/N's gaze with a mix of frustration and guilt. "I know," he admitted reluctantly. "But she's always so strict, and I just...I don't know."

Y/N nodded in understanding, wrapping an arm around Jake's shoulders. "I get it, buddy. But you have to remember, she's just looking out for you," she explained gently. "She loves you more than anything, and sometimes she has to be tough to make sure you're safe and happy."

Jake sighed, nodding in reluctant agreement. "I guess," he muttered, still feeling upset but starting to understand where Y/N was coming from.

Y/N gave Jake a reassuring smile. "Listen, why don't you go talk to your mom and apologize? I know it's hard, but I promise it'll make things better," she suggested, giving him a gentle nudge.

Jake hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly. "Okay," he agreed, his voice soft.

Y/N gave Jake a proud smile, giving him a quick hug before he headed off to find Regina.

Regina spotted Jake running back towards the pool, his little feet pattering on the ground as he searched for her. Despite her lingering frustration, Regina's heart softened at the sight of her son's earnest attempt to make amends.

She watched as Jake approached her, his expression a mix of nervousness and determination. "Mom?" he called out tentatively, his voice wavering slightly.

Regina turned to face him, her demeanor still somewhat guarded. "What is it, Jake?" she asked, her tone brusque.

Jake fidgeted nervously, his tiny hands clasped together in front of him. "I...I wanted to say sorry," he said hesitantly, his eyes downcast.

Regina's heart melted at Jake's apology, her anger dissipating as she realized how brave he was to come and apologize. "Oh, Jake," she sighed, reaching out to ruffle his hair affectionately. "I appreciate that, sweetheart."

Jake's face lit up at Regina's response, relief flooding through him. "I didn't mean to upset you, Mom," he said earnestly, his voice filled with sincerity.

Regina pulled Jake into a warm embrace, holding him close. "I know, honey. And I'm sorry too," she admitted, her voice soft with emotion. "I just want what's best for you, and sometimes I can be a little...strict."

Jake nodded understandingly, squeezing Regina tightly. "I know, Mom," he said, his voice muffled against her shoulder.

Regina smiled, brushing a gentle kiss on the top of Jake's head. "Thank you for apologizing, sweetheart. I love you," she whispered, her voice filled with love and warmth.

Jake beamed up at Regina, his eyes shining with affection. "I love you too, Mom," he replied, his smile wide and genuine.

Y/N settled herself next to Regina on the poolside, enjoying the warm sunshine. She watched with a smile as Jake rejoined the group, his laughter echoing as he splashed around in the pool.

Regina let out a small sigh, her gaze following Jake's movements. "That boy is going to be the death of us when he's a teenager," she remarked, her tone half-joking, half-serious.

Y/N chuckled, nudging Regina playfully. "Oh, come on, Regina. He's just like his mama," she teased, flashing Regina a mischievous grin.

Regina raised an eyebrow, a hint of skepticism in her expression. "What do you mean?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

Y/N laughed, leaning closer to Regina. "Let's face it, babe. He's got your attitude," she said, her voice filled with amusement.

Regina scoffed, shaking her head in denial. "No way. Jake is nothing like me," she insisted, though a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

Y/N grinned, raising an eyebrow in mock disbelief. "Really? Remember high school, Regina? You were the queen bee with that mean girl attitude," she teased, nudging Regina playfully.

Regina rolled her eyes, though there was a hint of fondness in her expression. "Okay, fine. Maybe he has a little bit of my sass," she admitted, a hint of laughter in her voice.

Y/N grinned triumphantly, poking Regina's side gently. "See? I knew it," she said teasingly, enjoying Regina's playful exasperation.

Regina chuckled, shaking her head in mock annoyance. "You're impossible, you know that?" she said with a playful glint in her eye.

Y/N grinned, leaning in to press a kiss to Regina's cheek. "But you love me anyway," she replied cheekily, earning a laugh from Regina.

As the day wound down and the guests departed, it was bedtime for the twins. Leighton, ever the obedient one, dutifully followed Y/N's instructions and headed off to prepare for bed. However, Jake seemed to have other ideas.

"Jake, it's time for bed," Regina called out, her voice firm but patient.

Jake crossed his arms defiantly, his expression sour. "I don't want to," he muttered rebelliously.

Regina's patience wore thin as she warned Jake for the umpteenth time. "Jake, I'm not going to say it again. Bedtime," she insisted, her tone tinged with frustration.

Y/N stepped in, trying to reason with her son. "Jake, do you remember what happened at the pool today? You know better than to talk back to your mom," she reminded him gently.

Jake huffed, rolling his eyes at Y/N's words. "Whatever. It's not fair," he grumbled under his breath.

Regina's patience snapped, her demeanor shifting into full Regina George mode. "Excuse me? I will not tolerate that kind of attitude," she declared, her voice sharp with authority.

But Jake was stubborn, refusing to back down. "You're not the boss of me," he shot back, his tone defiant.

Regina's eyes narrowed dangerously as she felt her temper flare. "That's it, young man. You've crossed the line," she warned, her voice rising in anger.

Jake, however, was undeterred, his frustration boiling over. "I hate you!" he screamed, his words like a knife to Regina's heart.

Regina's expression hardened, hurt flashing in her eyes as she recoiled from Jake's hurtful words. "How dare you speak to me like that," she snapped, her voice trembling with emotion.

Y/N, witnessing the escalating confrontation, felt her own anger ignite. "Enough!" she exclaimed, her voice ringing out in the room. "You do not talk to your mother like that, Jake. Apologize. Now."

But Jake, consumed by his own stubbornness, refused to back down, his anger clouding his judgment. And as tensions reached a boiling point, the once peaceful atmosphere shattered, leaving behind a storm of hurt feelings and regret.

The tension in the room was thick as Regina and Jake stood locked in a battle of wills, neither willing to back down. Regina's patience had worn thin, her frustration bubbling to the surface as she struggled to maintain control.

"I'm warning you, Jake. You're pushing it," Regina said through gritted teeth, her tone laced with a mix of anger and exasperation.

But Jake remained defiant, his stance unwavering as he continued to mock his mother. "What are you gonna do, Mom? Ground me? Take away my toys?" he taunted, his words dripping with sarcasm.

Y/N, unable to contain her own anger any longer, stepped forward, her voice sharp and commanding. "That's enough, Jake! You do not speak to your mother like that," she scolded, her eyes flashing with frustration.

Regina shot Jake a withering glare, her patience wearing thin. "You may be only four years old now, but I won't survive your puberty if you keep this up," she muttered under her breath, her tone tinged with exasperation.

Jake's defiance only seemed to grow, his stubbornness fueling his determination to stand his ground. "You're not the boss of me!" he declared, his voice defiant and full of rebellion.

Regina let out a frustrated sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose as she struggled to maintain her composure. "This is ridiculous," she muttered to herself, her voice tinged with resignation.

Y/N stepped in, her voice firm as she addressed Jake. "You need to apologize to your mother right now, young man. This behavior is unacceptable," she insisted, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Regina shot Jake a warning look, her eyes flashing with a mix of frustration and disappointment. "You heard your mother. Apologize," she demanded, her voice firm and commanding.

Jake's half-hearted apology did little to ease the tension in the room. Y/N let out a heavy sigh, her frustration evident as she watched Jake retreat to his bed.

Regina's hurt was palpable as she stood there, her emotions simmering just beneath the surface. Y/N moved closer, reaching out a hand to gently touch Regina's arm, a silent gesture of comfort and support.

But Regina's emotions were too raw, too close to the surface to be soothed. With a frustrated sigh, she shook off Y/N's touch, her anger boiling over as she struggled to contain her emotions.

"I won't survive his puberty if he's like this at four," Regina muttered bitterly, her words laced with frustration and resignation.

Y/N felt her heart ache for Regina, knowing all too well the weight of her words. "Regina, it's not your fault," she reassured her, her voice soft and comforting.

But Regina couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that gnawed at her, the knowledge that Jake had inherited her own attitude weighing heavily on her conscience. "I hate that I know it's my attitude he inherited," she admitted, her voice filled with self-loathing.

Y/N wrapped her arms around Regina, pulling her close in a tight embrace. "Regina, you're a wonderful mother. You can't blame yourself for everything," she whispered, her words a gentle reminder of Regina's worth.

Regina leaned into Y/N's embrace, finding solace in her arms. And as they stood there, enveloped in each other's warmth, Regina couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos, knowing that with Y/N by her side, they could weather any storm together.

You get them a cat HC's

Featuring Mihawk, Shanks, Buggy and Kuro!

Warnings: None.

Notes: GN! Reader

A/N: I just needed to get this silly little idea out of my head!

"Oh? Well, I guess another one won't hurt."

Turns out his castle is a refuge for all kinds of animals. He's taking care of injured or abandoned beings of all sort.

Let's be honest, his personality has a lot of a feral cat as well. You find the similarities hilarious, while he still can't see it.

One time you walked in on him petting it - one of the rare occasions you ever saw him smile.

Loves when the cat sits on his lap while he's in his armchair by the fire, sipping on a glass of wine. An adorable image, and his favourite kind of self-care.

It will rub itself against his beard all the time. Who can blame it?

Needs at least one new outfit a week since the cat will always wreck the feather of his hat or scratch his leather clothes.

Talks to it with a way higher voice than usually, and yes, he does babytalk.

-><--><--><--><-

"Great idea! I actually thought about getting a mascot for the crew anyways."

This man is like a Disney Princess. Just gives off a vibe that makes an animal automatically love him.

Is pretty chill about standard annoying cat behavior. This pet will be misbehaving a lot since he just takes everything with a smile. Can't really be mad at all.

It will probably have a standard seat on his shoulder and loves hiding under his cape.

Always buys snacks when he's on land and even shares his meal with it.

Talks about the cat as if it's an actual person, and talks a lot. Literally his new bestie, you're almost jealous.

This animal has seen some shit. He'll definetly not go anywhere without it and do some weird party tricks when drunk.

Would protect it with his life, certainly.

Poor guy is actually a lil' bit allergic, but endures for your and it's sake.

-><--><--><--><-

"...fine. But if it goes anywhere near my stuff I'll throw it overboard!"

Will have a full blown rant about how cats are ungrateful and illoyal little shits.

Isn't actually an animal person in general. Especially cats and dogs are a little too fascinated with his nose for his liking - it looks like a toy, after all.

It follows him around despite his best efforts not to. He gets used to it quickly however and starts talking to it. It helps him get his thoughts in order, actually.

Lets you keep it in the end because this man just can't say no to any of your wishes. Won't admit it though, probably says it's because they're useful to catch mice on the ship or something.

Throws a tantrum at least once a day, especially when the cat got anywhere near his maps.

Unsuccessfully tries to teach it any tricks for them to participate in the circus.

Is often caught juggling for it and acts like the cat just happened to be there while he was practicing.

It's an open secret that he adores this animal. It's also the only one allowed to sit on his throne besides him.

-><--><--><--><-

"...what an astonishing creature, indeed."

It takes everything in this man to not drop the facade.

Wants to keep it so badly but hesistantly talks about hygiene and how the cat's presence may negatively affect Kaya's health.

He's actually the most skilled when it comes to properly train those stubborn creatures.

Anyways, he still will get scratched and hissed at. It breaks his heart.

Indulges it as good as he can. Only the best food, it's own room in the mansion and always new toys.

Always nerds out some biological or historical facts about those animals.

Loves to absentmindedly stroke it's fur whenever it sits on his lap. Looks like a Bond villain when doing so.

HSR THEORY - PENACONY AND THE FAMILY

Okay so when I saw Penacony, it made me awfully think of something but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what. Until this morning.

For a bit of context, let's review quickly what we know.

The introduction to Penacony is as follow :

Penacony, also known as the Planet of Festivities, is a planet currently inhabited by the Family in the Asdana star system.

It is said that it was once a prison planet owned by the IPC, until a Stellaron corrosion broke out, a bit like what happened on Jarilo VI. When it happened, Penacony took refuge under The Family and Xipe's patronage.

This prison used to work for the Garden of Recollection to retrieve Memory Bubbles and since it's Fuli domain, linked to memory and all that is unconscious/subconscious, Penacony gradually became a "dream-planet" cutted off from reality, with people's consciousness linked in dreams.

It was the over-present theme of dreams/memory and dream nation that made me go 🤨 the first time but nothing clicked until I went to check who the fuck was The Family. And soon enough, things started to feel strange.

In the vision of the Harmony, the diverse civilizations throughout the universe will eventually become as close as siblings, singing in unison the hymn of unity and joy.

They come from different worlds, belong to different civilizations, and have different identities, but they are, at the same time, the closest family members there are. There is never noisy disputes or even contradictions among its members, only eternal love and smiles — there is no more harmonious family in the universe than them.

Yeah. It sounds good, right ? Who doesn't want interstellar peace and happiness (except Nanook and their followers) ?

But at the same time, the tone of all that, it sounds a bit like a sect doesn’t it ? It seems a bit too good to be true, to be honest.

And it's when I got the Eureka moment of "what does it make me think of" if I may say so.

LOTOPHAGOI.

Also more commonly known as : Lotus-eaters.

In Greek Mythology, in Homer's Odyssey, the Lotus-eaters were a race of people known for their consumption of lotus seeds, a powerful narcotic that made them live in a peaceful apathy.

"Peaceful apathy" hm ? Interesting.

It is believed that this lotus could have been Nymphea caerula, also known as the "blue lotus" of the Nile, used by Egyptian to produce a soporific with psychotropic properties.

Soporific as in "dream inducing". Penacopy being a dream-nation, it's when I started getting suspicious. But then, psychotropic : a psychotropic drug is one that affects mood, thoughts, perception and behavior.

"There is never noisy disputes or even contradictions among its members, only eternal love and smiles". Yeah, well I personally believe they're high as fucking kites.

One of the most interesting things however is what happened after consuming the lotus : "After they ate the lotus, they would forget their home and loved ones and long only to stay with their fellow lotus-eaters. Those who ate the plant never cared to report or return." (x)

What did it say about the Family, hmmmm ?

And it gets even worse !

People are also curious whether any members of the Family had grown tired of the one and voluntarily abandoned the Path of Harmony? In the face of such a question, the Family smiles and replies “Never."

Yeah. I don't really feels like it's a good idea to go on Penacony anymore ?

Because an old prison-planet ? Cut off from reality and heavily linked to dream-state ? Under the full control of The Family ?

"The Family at Penacony issued formal invitations to many galactic factions for the first time in history."

And they invited a whole lot of important people too, how curious !

Addendum:

The universe will become a harmonious whole, with no discordant notes to disrupt the beautiful chords and no fools worrying about their own short-sighted futures.

Do you all know Percy Jackson? Well guess what Rick Riordan did of the Lotophagoi ? A fancy Hotel-Casino in which you got trapped and lost sense of time, without ever wanting to leave !

Planet of Festivities ? Casino ? Anyone ?

Yeah.

Well if they propose to you any suspicious flower-looking food or seeds or anything, same rule as in the Underworld : Do not fucking eat it.

Denizens of the Haligtree Analysis

Giant Ant

So ants.... There's really not much to say about these guys, but if anything their presence at the Haligtree is a good indicator of how bad off the divine tree is. Also their stupid acid attack always one-shots me and I hate them lol

Oracle Envoys

So the Oracle Envoys only show up in two places; Leyndell and the Haligtree, and as lore states their appearance basically heralds the coming of either a new Age or a new God. I've seen arguments stating that the Oracles are there for Malenia and her ascendance as the Goddess of Rot, but imo considering that Mal has only bloomed twice and is not yet a true Goddess(which she doesn't even want to be) the Oracles presence could indicate that they are actually heralding something else. maybe miquellas return? 🤞

Also the Haligtree is the only place were you can find the Giant variant, which I just think is neat lol

Misbegotten

The Haligtree is known throughout the Lands Between as a refuge for the forsaken and misbegotten, so the Misbegotten that have managed to make their way here are definitely the lucky ones. Although if you watch them carefully you can see from their mannerisms that many of the Misbegotten there are quite distressed, many are seen yelling at the sky in despair or kneeling down infront of the statues of Miquella in prayer. Either way, they may have made it to the promised land but all that remains is desperation.

Fungal Putrid Corpse

Fun fact about these guys is that this variant of the Putrid Corpses can only be found in the Haligtree. Other than that there isn't much else to say here, although I guess one thing to say would be the sheer prevalence of the Putrid Corpses found throughout the Lands Between. They're probably all the unfortunate commoners and regular people who got caught up in the Shattering and were reduced to... this.

Miranda Sprout

So according to their lore Miranda Powder has always been prized by the Perfumers, and from what we know about the Perfumers is that before the Shattering they used to be healers. So I'm spreading some propaganda here but at the Perfumers Ruins in Altus there is a secluded patch that has multiple Miquella's Lilys there, indicating that Miquella spent some time with the Perfumers, which makes perfect sense considering he wished to heal Malenia.

So it would make sense why there would be Miranda Blooms at the Haligtree, because Miquella had use for the properties of their pollen. A shame they've become infected with Scarlet Rot now...

Spirit Calling Snail

The Sprit Calling Snail is a snail that calls spirits. Go figure lol. But in all seriousness the Snails presence at the Haligtree somewhat adds another hint regarding Miquellas own connection to the spirits.

Haima Battle Mages

So the Haima Battles Mages are really cool when you read into their lore a bit:

"Scholars of the Haima Conspectus sought the power to quell conflict, and to this end studied the sorceries of cannon fire and the gavel."

Aside from further proving that Miquella had and interest in Glintstone, the fact that the Haima wish to quell conflict, and that the Haligtree, arguably, is the most peace focused of all the factions in the Lands Between it would make sense why these two mages would settle here and defend the Haligtree.

Cleanrot Knight

When Malenia departed on her campaign and took her Cleanrot Knights with her, these ones are likely the faction that stayed behind to defend the Haligtree. Like can you imagine being these guys?

Your General leaves with your comrades and you're tasked to defend Miquella while he slumbers within the Haligtree. But then this Omen with flaming blood shows up out of nowhere and kidnaps Miquella despite your best attempts to stop him, and you just...

You failed.

Your Lord that you were tasked to defend with your life has been taken, and you grieve your failure and also having to face your General when she returns and explain that her beloved brother has been taken...

But when Malenia does come back she's completely comatose, carried on the back of Finlay, your fiercest comrade, who quickly succumbs to the rot after bringing Malenia home safely, and now all you can do is put her within the roots to rest. And after all that you still commit yourself to defending the Haligtree despite Miquella being gone and the rot seeping into the tree and decaying it from the inside out...

Like damn, how depressing.

Haligtree Foot Soldier

Same thing as the Cleanrots above, but what makes the Haligtree soldiers interesting is that you can only find them at the Haligtree. Like in Liurnia you can find a Leyndell Knight wandering around, obviously deployed from Leyndell during the Shattering with the same thing on Mt. Gelmir, meaning that they are not one of the many factions of soldiers of the Shattering War, but in fact, strict defenders of the Haligtree. Like they dedicate their lives to one job, and that's defending Miquella and his Haligtree.

But then everything just went to shit in a single day. And it all just went downhill after that.

There really is a heavy sadness to these guys with the fact that they are so desperate for Miquella to return that they came to the conclusion that they need to explode with holy light in order to guide him home :'(

Haligtree Knight

Holy shit these guys are legitimately a Boss but without the fanfare, like goddamn. Its honestly shocking that Mohg managed to get Miquella with these guys at the defense, but well he got him 😔 Anyway these guys are interesting to two reasons; the first being that they can heal using flasks, the only other enemies in the game using healing items being other Tarnished or Perfumers, and the second is that these Knights can use Glintstone Sorceries, once again further hinting at Miquellas relationship with the Carians and his own interest in Glintstone.

Putrid Crystalian

Now what makes the Crystalians presence here at the Haligtree so interesting, involves this little tidbit about their lore:

"The inscrutable Crystalians have but one clear purpose; to safeguard their crystals unto the end. One theory posits that they yearn for the return of their creator who will carve for them new brethren."

And Miquella, who has been quoted as, "A meticulous, bold craftsman who grasps the essence of life," would seemingly fit the bill for someone who could potentially carve the Crystalians new brethren. And then there's also the fact that the Crystalians are the beings who are closest to the Primeval Current, and as I've said in a previous theory post, is something that Miquella definitely has an interest in. So perhaps Miq and the Crystalians here have a mutual relationship going on; with Miquella attempting to grant them new brethren, and the Crystalians giving Miquella insight into the Primeval Current.

A shame Miquella is no longer with them and that they've been infected with Scarlet Rot....

Royal Revenant

WHY

WHY ARE THERE FOUR OF YOU IN A ROW

WHY

Okay so bottom line the Revenants are weird. There is no enemy in the game with so much mystery surrounding them than these guys. What's their origin? What is their purpose? Are they suffering as a massive amalgamation of body parts and fucked up magic? I sure hope they are.

But what I can say about the Revenants is that their general locations sort of paints a picture regarding who they might belong too. They are predominantly found in Liurnia, with their most interesting location being that they seemingly guard the Lunar Estate on the plateau where the Cathedral of Manus Caelus is. The other notable locations are at the Shaded Castle, a place were Miquella likely frequented, and now at Elphael. So saying that they may have their origins either with the Carians or Miquella wouldn't be too much of a stretch... maybe.......

And then there is also the fact that they are usually accompanied by Wraith Callers, who bear a striking resemblance to the Revenants as well. Then also there's that little theory about how Ranni's master may have been a Wraith Caller..... 🤔

Kindred of Rot

These guys are clearly here because of Malenia, and it's interesting to see that they only show up in the rotten core of Elphael and the graveyard area which is closest to were she is slumbering. I made a post about these guys long ago about how they've seemingly peacefully assimilated into the Haligtree even though Malenia rejects them, and honestly I think that it's kind of poetic considering Miquella's philosophy.

Putrid Avatar

The Putrid Avatars are a Scarlet Rot infested variant of the Erdtree Avatars, but what really interests me about them the most is that the Putrid Avatars have a completely different staff compared to their normal counterparts.

The Putrid Staffs design is highly reminiscent to the Haligtree Sigil, and while the item description of the staff is the same as its regular variant, I can't help wonder if the design was intentional but the description was overlooked/forgotten in regards to that connection. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it 🤷 In my opinion, I see it as Malenia's Rot being so deeply intertwined with Miquella's Abundance that even the Putrid Avatars adopt his iconography.

Either way, the fact that there are two Avatars defending the Haligtree really speaks volumes regarding the Haligtrees legitimacy as a type of Erdtree.

Putrid Tree Spirit

I hate these guys. What else is there to say lol

PRELIMINARY ROUND - WARRIOR CATS

PROPAGANDA

Bumble (CW: Domestic Abuse)

1.) Back with another Warriors submission, I bet you'll be getting a lot from other people too LMAO. Bumble is a kittypet (housecat) who befriends the male protagonist Gray Wing's girlfriend, Turtle Tail, and lets her stay in her house. This gets Gray Wing all pissy because he's controlling of Turtle Tail and shares most of the wild/clan cat's proclivity for looking down upon kittypets. Turtle Tail gets pregnant by another kittypet, Tom, who tries to control her by hiding the fact that humans take away kittens after they're born. Eventually Bumble comes clean about it so Turtle Tail returns to the forest. Some time later, Bumble is found in the forest seeking refuge because Tom has been physically abusing her, scratching her where the humans can't see. So, she's CANONICALLY ACKNOWLEDGED as a domestic abuse victim (unlike Squirrelflight who meets all the textbook signs but the narrative and authors deny it). How do you think our good guy protagonists, i.e. Gray Wing "The Wise" and Turtle Tail, respond to an abuse victim seeking refuge? They tell Bumble to go home, thinking to themselves that she's fat and soft and therefore would be useless in their group. Bumble stands up for herself and asks to speak with the leaders of the group. One of them asks if Bumble could just get along with Tom better (bro???) and when Bumble says it's not within her control, the leader suggests being nicer to the humans instead. Another rival leader butts in and verbally abuses Bumble again by ripping into how fat and lazy and useless she would be. Despite Turtle Tail having been friends with Bumble and Bumble had helped her through her own hard times, to Gray Wing's approval Turtle Tail chooses not to intervene as Bumble is forcibly escorted back to her abuser. But that's not all. Later Bumble is found in the forest maimed and dying, and it seems likely that Gray Wing's brother Clear Sky, a male with a long history of violence, is the culprit. Rather than mourn the dying innocent cat, Gray Wing's primary concern is how other cats might be mean to Clear Sky if they think he's a murderer, and reassures himself that refusing to help Bumble in her time of need was still the right decision.

2.) I have no idea how she managed to be written so horrifically from an abuse victim and woman (/she-cat I guess) standpoint but here we are. Okay so my memory is a bit fuzzy but basically Bumble was a character in Dawn of the Clans and a close friend to Turtle Tail, a major character, as well as a character who lived close to Tom, an abusive dickhead of a cat. Bumble was largely depicted as just a really sweet cat. Turtle Tail was very briefly the mate of Turtle Tail, but once she got pregnant, he became super violent towards both her and our gal Bumble. Tom actively hid the fact that, once her kits were old enough, Turtle Tail's kits would probably be taken from her, and made Bumble keep quiet about this too, but Bumble eventually told Turtle Tail the truth, Turtle Tail left and Tom became extremely violent towards Bumble because of this, and was extremely abusive towards her. Eventually, Bumble ran away from him to where Turtle Tail and co were and begged to stay, since the wilderness as a whole was genuinely more safe than being around Tom was. Naturally, this meant kitty xenophobia from cats who had only arrived in that area recently, because everybody was insistent than, since she was a kittypet/house cat, things wouldn't work out, and even her friend Turtle Tail denied her on this, insisted she was too soft to live in the wild and only sent her towards a cat Bumble wanted to convince because she was absolutely certain she'd be denied. Also our good old protagonist Gray Wing got to spend this scene being all upset about this soft cat wanting to join them to escape an abuser and was all bitter about the fact that Turtle Tail lived with her for a short period of time, and he also got to have a sweet romantic moment with Turtle Tail after denying an abuse victim an escape from her abuser. Also as much as I like Tall Shadow usually she sucked ass in the following scene because she was essentially telling Bumble to go find a way to make peace with Tom as if she was not the one being abused (Bumble pointed out that Tom was the one who would need to make peace for it to happen, not her) and that she should just make life better by going back to being a housecat and being spoiled despite the fact that she was actively at risk with her owners because of Tom. Then she leaves after being threatened by several cats there and is called soft on the way out. The next time she appears she is literally dying, and her death is just a plot device to create a stupid little mystery which is solved in a very stupid way. Also her abuser does continue to be a shithead and for some reason is fully permitted to kidnap his own children but he also gets a heroic death and the only reason I will not rant more about him is because this is too long already. Long story short Bumble deserves the world and everybody who decided not to let her escape her abuser just because they thought she was soft sucks

3.) Is nice to the group of starving, feral wild cats that left the mountains so their friends and family could have more food to eat and befriends one of them to the point of opening her home to her after she leaves the group because the guy she likes is too dumb to notice she likes him and keeps falling for his brother's love interests.

Unfortunately, because Bumble is a house cat who lives in a house with people and not a Wild and Free cat, this is a grave and horrible crime (luring a wild cat into the safety and comforts of domesticity) and is villainized for the rest of the arc, including for things wildly out of her control

I.E.

Her owners taking in an aggressive male cat that bullies and abuses the two female cats already living there

When Bumble's friend leaves and goes back to the wild cats, Bumble leaves her home (as the abuse as has gotten worse) to see if she could either get help or have her friend return so the abuse isn't as bad again)

Bumble eventually dies in the wild because the feral cats all hate her for 'stealing' their friend and tricking her into becoming a kittypet for awhile and refuse to help Bumble adjust to wild life or even teaching her how to hunt.

They are little to no hard feelings at her death beyond 'good riddance' but the aggressive tomcat that chased her out of her home is later regarded with good feelings and regret at such a 'good, heroic cat' passing when he dies despite him literally never doing a good or kind thing in his life and actually causing trouble for the wild cats right before dying

Squirrelflight (CW: Domestic Abuse)

1.) Warriors is one of the most misogynistic children's series I've ever seen, so Squirrelflight is just one example of many. As a young adult Squirrelflight is in a sorta love triangle between Brambleclaw/star, who later turns out to be an abusive husband, and Ashfur, who later turns out to be a murderous incel. Despite Squirrelflight clearly being badly affected by all this and it being a children's series which shouldn't be normalizing these things to kids, the narrative defends both males, at least at first. Ashfur was just recently turned into a full-blown supervillain, but years before that he was treated as only a minor antagonist despite trying to kill multiple of Squirrelflight's loved ones to spite her for rejecting him, and he goes to Cat Heaven and this is justified by saying he just "loved too much". Meanwhile Bramblestar is a textbook example of a domestic abuser in his behaviors but the narrative and the author statements are adamant that he's a 100% heroic good guy. He gives Squirrelflight the silent treatment for a whole arc because he's mad she lied about the parentage of their adoptive kits - Squirrelflight pretended they were his and her own, but they were actually born to her sister Leafpool's forbidden relationship so Leafpool had to give them up in secret so as to not cause a scandal. The narrative implies this is reasonable of him because lying is bad, however it never mentions the double standard that Bramblestar had been lying to Squirrelflight about the fact he trained in Cat Hell with his evil ghost father, and he gaslit her for suspecting that his evil brother was in fact evil which he himself knew otherwise because of the Cat Hell training, and he NEVER came clean about it even when it would have been extremely relevant to know because of other Cat Hell schenanigans. Anyway, in Squirrelflight's own book, "Squirrelflight's Hope", most of the book is a disturbing depiction of Bramblestar emotionally abusing her and his abusive attitudes/excuses being given a seal of approval by the narrative, as she suffers very realistically. She nearly dies at one point alongside Leafpool and they go to Cat Heaven where… they are given a "trial" to determine if they deserve to be sent to Cat Hell instead, because of the whole lying about kits thing. Even though that was what Cat Heaven DIRECTLY TOLD THEM TO DO. When Leafpool was pregnant, spirits had manifested to the two of them multiple times telling Leafpool to give them up, even lying to Squirrelflight that she's infertile and would never have biological kits of her own (not true) to guilt her into raising the kits. No other character in the entire history of the series has ever had anything like this, even Ashfur the murderous incel and Rainflower the abusive mother etc who apparently got into Cat Heaven no questions asked. Certainly no male characters are ever treated this way. It's absurd.

2.) Dude. So much shit has happened to this lady. She's a teenager and everyone is like hey you may be our cat president's kid but you're so sucks and small. And she's like no fuck you and tags along with the other teens and young adults going on an adventure to find somewhere not being burnt down to live. And everyone is sO MEAN TO HER. Like yeah… she tagged along when she shouldn't have… but she isn't like, Twelve. She's been in the kitty cat workplace for Months. Let her live. Anyway one of the dudes on that mission is named Brambleclaw and he sucks. Especially after the group finds their new home and they all go live there. Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight get together and it's so… it's… like. She hates his brother, Hawkfrost. Hawkfrost is actively seeing Brambleclaw and his evil father in cat hell. Squirrelflight knows this. Brambleclaw gets mad at her and assumes she just hates his evil brother because their evil father was evil so she must also hate him. Except his evil brother is being evil right now. He gets so pissy with her that he shuns her, and she's like okay. I did not like you that much probably. So she goes and is buddies with this other cat lad named Ashfur who is a different can of beans I will be getting into later once I'm done killing Brambleclaw. Speaking of Bramblebutt, he gets jealous of her just PLATONICALLY hanging out with this one guy and their buddies. Like she isn't even consistently alone with this man. Eventually Squirrelflight is like ah fuck the narrative wants me to be in love with Brambleclaw so I gotta go apologize for being right. And she's like hey Brambleclaw about your evil brother meeting your evil dad. I'm sorry. And he's like it's okay I was also seeing my evil dad. And then they kiss and Squirrelflight is not allowed to be mad at him. Ashfur will remember this, but won't be a character about it for a few more books. So yay! Maybe their relationship will be health--hey why is plot happening. Oh no! Brambleclaw is now the deputy, ie the guy who's gonna be cat president. That's unforch for his new relationship because that makes it so the man has the ability to punish, dictate tasks, and do basically whatever horrible shit he wants to Squirrelflight and not be ostracized for it! This totally won't come back to bite us in the ass. So some plot happens that doesn't matter to this discussion, and Squirrelflight's sister Leafpool (who has kits because cat god said it was ok, then cat god was like hmm we don't know if we can let you into cat heaven because you, a nun, had kits and that's illegal. even though they told her. someone else should send in Leafpool.) has kits and can't take care of them because she's a nun and that's illegal. So Squirrelflight (after cat god tells her she's barren Which Is A Lie just for her to take the kits) adopts the kits and doesn't tell Brambleclaw because She Values Her Sister's Privacy. And Also He's Never Been Normal About Anything In His Life.

So Squirrelflight raises these kids as her own, excellent mother, until the secret of the kits birth gets out to… Ashfur! Her not even ex boyfriend, though he certainly thinks they hit second base, because he threatens her kits As The Forest They Live In Is Burning Down Btw because suddenly he's very upset she chose Brambleclaw and she's like uhh uhhh you can't hurt me by hurting these kids, they aren't even mine! And he's like :0 I'm gonna tell your dad who is cat president. Her kids IMMEDIATELY go "ohhh I hate you and we've been living a lie and we hate you because you suck even though you raised us and loved us like we were your own". One of the kids goes and murders Ashfur by the way. Girlboss. So the kids know and the one who killed the guy tells the whole fucking kitty cat planet in their next cat UN meeting and everyone is like woah. That's sucks. Thunderclap is so sucks. And Brambleclaw, who is Kitty Cat Vice President, is like ohh I'm breaking up with you, treating you like you're two days old, ignoring you for the next YEAR AND A FUCKING HALF, only letting you do menial tasks that only the babies have to do, and I'm also gonna talk shit about you forever. And he's just allowed to do that. and she's like ??? Well at least I saved my sister. Who is absolutely soon found out to be the mother and SHE GETS FIRED FROM BEING A NUN/DOCTOR. When they ONLY HAVE TWO NUN/DOCTORS. it's so stupid sorry it's so stupid. Oh fuck this is long uhh. Eventually Brambleclaw becomes cat president and yeah he promoted her to cat vice president but he still undermines her authority, flirts w other women in front of her, badmouths her, devalues her work in the kitty cat state, and is generally an asshole. She also does once but her blood daughter is having kits so she's like ah fuck I gotta be alive for that, my dad certainly did not help Me with My babies. And her dad is an asshole so she won't help Her so. Squirrelflight top ten dad moments. At some point Ashfur comes back and possesses her abusive husband and is abusive towards the entire clan, and especially makes Her life hell. He eventually gets sent to kitty cat Oblivion (thank god) and Squirrelflight is free! Free from shitty--why is Bramblestar mad again. He's always looking for excuses to be mad at her. But also he's super old now (they both kinda are) but he's all traumatized and shit (she's been through worse an is fine) so he's like wife I wanna retire and she's like ok we can go ask cat god. And that's the most recent book and people are. So sure she's gonna die in transit to become cat president because she never fucking wins ANYTHING. anyway stan Squirrelflight

3.) She is the daughter of the main character of the first series and she gets characterized by the text as being bossy and headstrong. All I’m saying is that if she were a male character that male character would be considered “ambitious” while she is considered “bossy”.

Her canon love interest exhibits so much abusive behavior towards her and the text pretty much expects her to take it.

She is part of the most notorious love triangle of the series and she is considered the bad guy for turning down the “nice guy” character who’s smiling for her. Said nice guy character later goes on to attempt to murder her children (who are actually her nieces and nephews don’t worry about it).
