Jack Harlow x Reader : FLOWERS

A/N : 🫧 @hoodharlow gave me this idea, so I had to write something about it!

Every morning you would wake up to a flower arrangement being delivered to your doorstep. If Jack was home he’d be the one to pick them up himself and place them on your nightstand so you could see them as soon as you woke up.

It began the moment you two started dating, he gave you flowers the first time you two went on your first date and he just continued.

It continued even after you two got engaged, after you got married, after you gave birth to your two children. It just never stopped, he even started including Mia into it, he would buy her a small arrangement every morning as well.

You and the kids were definitely lucky, you lucked out on having a wonderful man like Jack in your lives. It’s not because of the flowers, it’s simply because he’s thoughtful, respectful, loving and understanding.

Like every morning, you woke up to your flowers, but this time they were on the kitchen counter alongside Mia’s little arrangement.

“Mommy, you see our flowers?” Mia breaks you away from your thoughts.

You smile and turn her way, and see she’s sitting down at the table with her father and brother. “Yeah bug, they’re beautiful huh?”

“Yeah, you did good daddy.”

Jack smiles, “Thank you princess.”

You sit down next to him. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“You needed sleep, I know you’ve been stressed with little man’s ear infection.” He pecks your lips real quick. “Picked up breakfast though.” He hands you a box. “It’s still warm.”

“Thank you baby.”

“Can I put my flowers in my room? I promise to water them.” Mia asks, with a mouth full of food.

“Manners young lady.” Jack points to her mouth. “Finish your food first.”

“But yes baby, you can have them in your room, I just need to find a non glass vase.” You tell her.

“Daddy?”

“Yeah little man?”

“Why I no get flowers.?”

You and Jack freeze.

“You want flowers cheesy?” Mia asks surprised

He shrugs, “momma and you gets em why no me?”

You and Jack look at each other, having no idea what to say. But Jack gets up right away and walks out the kitchen, leaving you confused.

“Come here baby.” You reach out for EZ, as he sits on your lap. “You want flowers? I’ll buy you lots of flowers right now.”

He shrugs, “Just askin.” His little shoulders lift up and he looks sad. “Is daddy mad cus I want em?”

You shake your head “No baby, of course not.”

Mia sighs, and has her little eyebrow lifted, just like her daddy does when he’s in deep thought. “Boys can get flowers too so daddy can’t be mad.”

“You’re right Mia, boys can have flowers too.” Jack announces as he walks back into the kitchen, his hands behind his back. “You have every right to ask little man, it’s my fault.”

“Is okay.”

“Here you go.” Jack hands him a beautiful tulips arrangement. “We can search up all the different flowers so you can pick your favorite ones, that way I know which ones to get.”

Ezequiel grabs the tulips, looks at them up and down. “That what Mia dids?”

Mia nods “Yupp, daddy took me to a place where there's lots of different flowers. I chose mine.” She smiles proudly. “Asters.”

“And you momma?” Your little boy asks you.

“Well-“ Jack snorts at that, you quickly glare at him. “I have three favorites actually, which drives your daddy crazy sometimes.”

“Only because sometimes I don’t know which ones to get you.”

“All of them, daddy.” Ezequiel tells him.

You smile down at your son and give him a kiss on the top of his head. “My sweet boy.”

“I think I no want flowers.” He hands the tulips to you. “You like these momma?”

“Ye-“

“No she doesn’t but I do.” Mia yells out.

Ezequiel looks between the tulips, to you and to his sister. He takes half and hands them to Mia, and the other half to you. “Here’s yous go.”

“Thank you cheesy.” Mia smiles, smelling them.

“Thank you baby.”

Ezequiel turns his head to look at Jack. “Daddy, I no want em for me.”

Jack kneels down in front of you so he can be face to face with him. “That’s totally fine little man.”

“I want em for sissy and momma.”

“Aww cheesy, you’re the best little brother.” Mia gets up from her seat and goes to hug her brother.

“I goes with yous when you buys em for momma and Mia?”

Jack nods, “Deal.” He stands up and lifts Ezequiel up and has him in his arms. “But we can also think about what you’d want. Maybe legos, hot wheels, or something.”

Ezequiel gasps “Donuts?”

“You want donuts every morning?” Jack chuckles.

“Yes please.”

Jack nods, “Donuts and flowers, you got yourself a deal little man.” They both do their handshake, similar to what Jack and Urbn do.

Ezequiel asks to be let down and he follows Mia into the living room.

“Baby? Are you crying?” You stand up and go up to your husband. “What’s wrong bubs?”

“I suck, why didn’t it cross my mind that my son would feel left out?” He wipes at his tears. “I didn’t include him and now he’s going to grow up hating me.”

“Babe.” You shake your head. “That little boy loves you to pieces. No way he’d hate you.” You push back his curls. “You heard him, you heard what he really wants, if he didn’t he wouldn’t have mentioned that.”

“Am I a bad dad for not including him?”

“JACKMAN.” You snap. “Don’t you ever say that again, don’t you think it either. It was an honest mistake, and he literally solved the problem just as he said that. I don’t want to hear you say that ever again, you’re not a bad dad, our kids are lucky to have you as their father you understand me?”

He nods, “I just feel shitty.”

“I know but-“

“Daddy? Why sad?” Ezequiel and Mia both run to you and Jack.

“He’s just upset, he didn’t mean to leave you out of it” You tell your son.

He smiles. “Daddy, is okays. I wanted em for them.” He points to you and Mia. “Plus I gets donuts now right?”

Jack nods. “Y-yeah.”

Ezequiel shrugs. “Then no sad, we cool.”

“You sure little man?”

“Yupp, but comes. I show you something.” He reached for Jack’s hand. “Stop being sad, I love yous.” He rolls his eyes.

“Okay, okay, I’ll stop.” Jack takes a hold of his little hand. “I love you too little man, so much.” They both walk out from the kitchen.

“Mommy.” Mia whispers.

“Yeah?”

“We need to get our boys stuff too now.”

You nod. “What do you have in mind?”

Mia hums. “Flowers with hot wheels for cheesy, and for daddy? Ohh, flowers and glasses, so he remembers he needs to wear them.”

You laugh at that. “MIA.”

“What? It’s true, daddy always forgets to wear them.” She shrugs.

Since that morning, you and Mia made a routine just like Jack and Ezequiel had theirs.

Flowers.

Lots and lots of flowers for the four of you throughout the years, and it brings a smile to your face every single time.

"어둠을 뚫고 빛나는 별들 안녕 우리는 오네리아"

“The stars who shine through the darkness, Hello we are Oneiria.!”

Oneiria

They debuted in 2022 when Soyeon was 22, Jisoo and Jiho were 21 and Minseok was 18.

Oneiria is known for its ability to connect with international fans by singing in multiple languages. Besides their native Korean, they’ve released Chinese, Japanese, and even English songs, showcasing their linguistic versatility.

Oneiria is actively involved in charitable work, with each member supporting different causes. Kim Soyeon, for instance, is an advocate for children’s education, while Park Jiho focuses on promoting mental health awareness.

Oneiria originally had 5 trainees, including the Final 4. However, the unnamed 5th trainee wasn't in the final lineup. This explains the gap between Jiho and Soyeon during the first few months of their debut when they greeted their fans.

Antis (They are mostly against Kim Soyeon)

Anti-fandom Name: Drowners (i died when i made this)

Anti-fans post unflattering photos and claim that Soyeon’s expressions are signs of arrogance, which leads to arguments among fans and negative media attention.

Anti-fans accuse Jisoo of plagiarism of another artist’s work, not knowing that the artist was him when he was still a trainee

 Some anti-fans go further, accusing Kim Soyeon of being a “pick-me girl” who seeks attention from male fans. They misinterpret her confident demeanour and artistic choices, attributing them to a desire to please male fans, which creates a false narrative.

A group of anti-fans disrupt events where Soyeon is present. They shout offensive comments and even go as far as throwing objects, creating a hostile atmosphere for the artist and fans.

Minseok makes fun of the term “Drowners” all the time.

“Since we received so much love for “Oneriophilia”, I decided to release a full album!”

“Dreamscapes” by Oneiria appears to take a more spontaneous and creative approach compared to their debut album, “Oneriophilia.” The album’s concept is described as a collection of songs that are born out of inspiration and creativity. Kim Jisoo, also known as Astra, is highlighted as a talented music producer with a penchant for composing music that resonates with him, even without a specific reason.

The title track, “Divine,” reflects the emotions of being inspired by something greater. The other tracks explore a range of emotions and themes. 

The overall concept of “Dreamscapes” is a musical journey through the spontaneous creativity of the members and the producer, capturing moments of inspiration and turning them into beautiful songs. It's an artistic expression of their creative process and their ability to release music that touches the heart without the need for a specific reason.

“Seasons” by Oneiria is a special single album that celebrates the changing of seasons and embraces the idea of renewal and change. The concept is inspired by the changing of seasons, which is a metaphor for the band’s growth and evolution since its debut.

The title track, “Blossom,” suggests a theme of growth, renewal, and the beauty that comes with change. It could be a reflection on their journey in the music industry and how they’ve evolved and blossomed since their debut. The other tracks explore different aspects of the changing seasons.

The title track delves into the idea of secrets and quiet emotions shared in the night, capturing the hushed, intimate moments that occur when the world is still. 

“Silent Crush” could further explore the theme of hidden feelings and the unspoken, while “Forget” might deal with the idea of leaving behind the past and starting anew. The Japanese version of “Euphoria” by Mirage was an experimental song.

The album reflects a genuine and creative approach to music-making, capturing moments of inspiration and turning them into art.

“Our first rock album! It’s part of our Dystopian AU if we were all still holding on to our grievances. Warning, this album is full of agony. Happy Anniversary, Oneiria.”

“Dystopia” by Oneiria presents a unique and intriguing concept, marking their 1st anniversary with a surprise 2nd full album. This album delves into a darker and more intense theme, creating a contrast with their previous releases. The title suggests a narrative that explores a world in chaos, perhaps highlighting societal issues or inner struggles.

The title track delves into a sense of despair, contemplating the idea of a world falling apart or disappearing. The other tracks further explore the themes of loss, pain, and emotional turmoil. “다른 세계” (Another World) introduces a sense of escapism, offering a glimpse into an alternative reality.

This album is their first rock album and is part of a Dystopian Alternate Universe (AU), where the members are still holding onto their grievances. It’s described as an album full of agony, indicating that the music and lyrics may touch on intense and emotional themes.

This marks a significant shift in Oneiria's music and concept with a thought-provoking and emotionally charged album that contrasts with their previous releases.

The album encourages listeners to contemplate the various facets of love and the personal journey of self-exploration, all set to a captivating blend of pop and rock melodies.

Happy Pride 2024, everyone!

... when I tell you I am tired.

Do you ever do that thing where you create an OC and then they have a family and friends you also create, and then suddenly there's an entire world in your mind?

Well, I do. About a decade ago, I created four OCs for a roleplaying game I helped run, and when the game closed, their stories changed significantly and kept going.

From left to right: Rhys, Mercy, Kyle, (a random ginger lorez model!) and Soo (with purpley blue hair!) Jason, Joey, Aarav, Colt, Toby, Carter, Shane, Zane, Everett, Kane (and another random lorez model!), Andrea, Tomas, Aster, Dahlia, Theros, and Wren.

Aster, the Swanmay who'd existed since around 2002 or so but got a major update, Soo the Werecat, Toby the librarian and reluctant adventurer, and Wren, the unicorn made mortal.

Andrea has been with Aster since the beginning, first as a teacher, then later as a friend and confidante to Aster. Everett came about in 2016 as Aster's half-Dryad gardener, then Tomas eventually arrived as a handy man and extra muscle around the house (and he has no idea Everett wants to climb him like a tree).

Soo demanded a boyfriend, and got werewolf cutie Jason, and then Jason brought along his shithead cousin Rhys and ex girlfriend and best friend, the witch, Mercy. Rhys brought Kyle, some random powerless twink he started hooking up with and dragged into supernatural things by accident, and now Rhys feels protective of him. (There's also a cousin of Soo and also Mercy's grandmother, but they just didn't fit and I've barely written about either of them, so.) And then Joey, Zane and Kane just sort of showed up and went, "Hi, we're werewolves too."

Toby started life with a friend's character (Arjun), but I feel weird about continually using other peoples OCs (even with permission, which I do have) when I can create my own, so along came Colt as an adventuring partner, and Arjun pops in to say hi sometimes. Then Toby developed an estranged uncle, Carter, and suddenly Carter and Colt had a prior romantic history which complicates Toby and Colt's interest in each other, so then Aarav showed up to appeal to Toby's academic side while Colt appeals to his enjoyment of adventure and securing old, abandoned relics from forces that would abuse them--

And then Wren was suddenly being quietly insistent that he'd like to live with Aster's household, but he'd like a boyfriend too, and suddenly there was Theros and his twin sister Dahlia-

And this isn't even counting my sci-fi crew. 😅

They keep multiplying like bunnies! There's also a curvy vampire hunter named Pixie and a plus size witch named Ariadne but I haven't sorted either of their stories nearly enough yet- and of course there's Dita, but I'm still playing her, and... aaaagh

Help 😅

[farrwoodss]

The Zemira Sisters.

Woods actually draws other ocs that aren't Skye Asterism?? More likely than you'd think (and won't happen again until the next leap year).

3/6 of the main cast! That being:

(✦) Skye Asterism

(✦) Drift Zemira

(✦) Mist Zemira

(✦) Emory Cassian

(✦) Farren Cassian

(✦) Vesper Tines

Briefest of deep dives. Literally can not stress ENOUGH how I want asks about these guys. At some point I'll post a big lore dump!!

Skye Asterism is Project Songbird's protagonist. She's Drift's older twin and starts out as a starry-eyed kid in a ruffian village just beyond Kalopsia's border. She always was a wild and impulsive thing, overly sensitive and sentimental. A lycan that cried seeing deers be brought home from the hunt. her mind always ticked as restlessly as she did. Just like her mother, she had a certain passion for the stars. If only the similarities to her had ended there. But weak, little Skye Zemira couldn't have known she would become what she admired so fervently; a star of the less desirable sort, an unravelling supernova.

Drift Zemira is something of a glass child. She grew up bitter and neglected, taken under the wing of her Aunt Tyche instead of Lilah's, her father. As a result, she became a highly unlikeable teen, a delinquent characterised by flashing teeth and flying spit. She resented Skye for getting all their father's attention despite his insistence that she would understand when she was older, the eyes behind the words so blue and sad. Rage was a balm for the wounded beast hulking behind her ribcage. She's also ginger <3

Mist Zemira is the oldest of the three, two years older than the Zemira twins. She's their half sister after Lilah served as surrogate to her mothers. They're beloved to the ruffian den, their home a flourishing medicinal herb garden and a medical practice in one, one a gardener and the other a medic. The platonically bonded (but hopelessly devoted) pair decided to have a child together, someone to raise to be a speck of goodness in the world. Lilah was willing and Mist was born. She's a kind yet hardy lycan, exceptionally skilled at medicinary. She keeps Drift afloat in all this. Her hands are scarred from tending to the garden but you will never feel a touch gentler than hers.

Too bad all three are doomed by the narrative.

When the Zemira twins are age 14, Mist age 16, they flee the ruffian den. Lilah had vanished a month prior. With Mist's home an orange blaze behind them, fellow lycans crowing for the end of the "three cursed Zemira sisters", Tyche leads them into the spasming heart of the unknown: the Redwood Sea, heading towards the distant land of Kalopsia.

Alien Invasion: Family trees 25 years in

It's been 25 years since the invasion of Pleasantview and Strangetown started. Since Tycho is technically born in-game and he had a baby with Lucy Burb, the first born in-game generation is now complete for my alien invasion hood!

PT was really busy early on, but his jobs have slowed down lately. The rule was to only summon him when a human man rolled a want for a baby. Among his kids are Tycho, Vidcund Jr., Loki's twins Atom and Ceres and their younger sister Elektra (number 7 in the row), and finally John Burbs 3 alien kids Jane, Joe and Jack. Tycho already has a child of his own, little Joule with Lucy Burb.

Stella has a relatively modest number of kids at 4. Her eldest, Aster (pictured second), was born from her short-lived marriage to Cassandra Goth, and Deneb (pictured first) was born about a year after, from the affair she had with Darren that ended that marriage. She has two girls from her marriage to Vidcund: Violet and Cundy Sinclair Nova.

Chloe is happily married to Ripp, and has three children with him: Melanie, Bruno and Flavio. Outside of her marriage, she has three more: Azzura Goth, Alexander's daughter, Junior Oldie, Herb's son, and Rina Singles, the daughter she had with Nina. Only Junior and Rina have any alien DNA, although it remains unexpressed in Junior.

Lola has only two kids, Sitara and Parveen Loner in a previous marriage to Ajay. Sitara, the younger of the two, possesses recessive alien genes.

Jill has 3 kids, 2 with her longtime fiancé Buck: Jeff and Jess. Additionally, she has a toddler age son with Beau: Bill Broke. Jess has her grandfather's green skin, and Bill has latent alien DNA.

Johnny has done one hell of a job, with no fewer than 9 children. From eldest to youngest, we have Gertrude Nigmos, with the late Ophelia, Esmeralda Broke with Dustin, Diana and Dzvezda Smith with Dirk, Beelzebub Pleasant with Lilith, Justina Smith with Dina, twins Arma and Colt Grunt with Tank and finally baby Eric Davis with Johnny's most recent ex-husband Aldric. Of these, Justina is homozygous for alien genes, making her the first full blood alien to be born in the neighborhood.

Dina has a modest 4 children. Her eldest two are the twins Dino and Regina Goth with Mortimer, followed by her son Michael with her wife Angela. Finally, she had Justina with Johnny, as previously mentioned. Michael has latent alien genes.

Unfortunately, Nina and her husband Don passed away when a cockroach-borne epidemic swept SimCity. With him, she had two daughters called Jezebel and Carmen Lothario. Outside of her marriage, she had 5 more kids: Laser Grunt with Buzz, Rina Singles with Chloe, Paul Curious with Vidcund, Nino Pleasant with Daniel and Ulysses Beaker with Circe. Of these, Rina and Ulysses have alien skin, and Nino has recessive alien genes.

In total, this means the next generation consists of no fewer than 42 sims. 24 of those have alien skin, with one of them being a full alien. 5 sims have recessive alien genes, and 13 are fully human.

For the upcoming generation, I will be focusing on pairing off the half-alien offspring with each other. Hopefully, by the next generation we will have arrived at the final stage of the alien invasion, and we have at least one fully viable court consisting of a queen and several drones, each fully alien.

Being part of the rebellion meant there was often items difficult to get ahold of. (Dad!Maul and tomato 🍅 baby drabble)

Almost immediately did Aster grimace at the thought of rations.

They kept on going, made sure your belly wasn’t empty but…

Her little sister Danica immediately chucked her portion away from her. The small girl demanded Nyduck, or shrimp or something else than that terrible thing.

Starlight tried their best to explain that was what they had now. They still had plenty of stock from the plentiful gardens from the Fortress.

But…

Danica and Aster were half Zabrak, carnivorous in nature, they needed some other protein.

Maul was somewhere else looking through the stores in hopes of some sort of preserved nyduck, maybe a bit of jerky? Something for his girls was they adjusted to this new life.

“But I want shrimp! Or Bantha!”

Chopper Base had little game for them to hunt.

Aster stayed quiet and tried to stomach the ration bar.

How had Maul adjusted himself to such foods? When he was fully Zabrak?

Aster knows her father did not adjust himself to such things. He survived. He just did. It made her head hurt to think of having to stomach such things for years…

—-

“Here my little darling.” Maul has scrounged up some jerky at the least. Danicas eyes widening and her little tongue licking her lips. 

“Maul,” Starlight sighed , exasperation in their voice. “You know we have to help them get accustomed to…”

It pained them every much as it did Maul, not being able to readily provide food to the girls.

“Not today. “ the crimson zabrak said. He handed a piece to Aster and then to Dani. The small girl immediately trying to eat it quickly only to be scolded.

“Dani that’s the only bit you’ll get!”

“Danica Oppress.”

“There’s no more.”

It seemed to wash over her at the moment the reality. The lives they once knew were altered.

Danica munched slowly on her jerky, hot tears spilling over her rounded cheeks.

Her tummy growled. She whimpered and Maul hugged her close. Promises of more whispered.

Aster got up and left. Starlight and Maul calling after her…

——

The delicate balance of her home was resurfacing. It wouldn’t be long before Maul went off somewhere in hopes to ensure better for the family…or convince himself of an old enemy he could pin this on.

Her buir would try and remain strong. Ignoring themselves to keep Danica content and Aster from trying to delve too deep into their sorrow.

Aster would….

“Hey…”

It was Ezra. The familar blue hair would never be lost in the crowd.

Her hearts beat a bit faster, “ You’re worried.”

She at times she joyed and greatly disliked their bond. “ Danica’s hungry.” Aster muttered.

The young Jedi quickly looked about, “ I can definitely get you all some more ration bars! It be no trouble.”

The girl shook her head, “ We have plenty. It’s different for us. We need more protein and the packs don’t have what is needed.”

Ezra frowned, “ Will she be okay?”

Aster shrugged, “ Given how my family is my father will scour all the base for more. Stars knows he’d do anything for her.”

“For you both.” Ezra reminds her, “ You know he may be the bane of my existence but he’d do anything for you and Dani and your Buir….the Mandos! Oh have you checked with Rau? I bet he’s got to have something!”

Aster once more felt her hearts race, “ The man loathes me.”

Ezra shrugged, “ I think he feels like that for everyone, but you know he’s got a soft spot for lil Dani! “

The other day the youngest Oppress was following about the leader of the Protectors with her pet massiffs at her sides and millions of questions.

Fenn Rau made the mistake of indulging her questions. A whole day used to answer questions! But….Ezra was right. Danica had that gift, many of those at the base had a fondness for the child.

“She’s what they are fighting for when think about it. So she doesn’t grow up like us.”

Hiding. On the run. Keeping away from suspicion.

Aster sighed, “ Thank you,” a smile on her lips. “ You are quite wise Ezra.”

“Please tell that to Kanan,”

—-

“Miss Oppress you know quite well I have barred you from.” The older Mandalorian warned as Aster and Ezra approached the Protectors area of the base.

“Do you have any preserved meats or any similar proteins?” Aster immediately asked.

“First you barge in for trainings, then challenge a head ranking officer and…”

“It’s for my little sister, we don’t have any and our kind require…”

“Oh no is something wrong with little Dani?” A helmeted protector overhears.

Aster gives a glance to Ezra who nods, remember she’s what they were fighting for.

“Even as half zabraks our diet requires more protein. Sadly we can’t acquire it with the rations supplied. There’s little to hunt.”

Rau contemplates the information. “Your father has gotten along fine with the rations…”

Aster knew Rau would delve into such a question, “ My father has a penchant for doing what it takes to survive, it has not been kind to him. Such a thing would likely be damaging to someone as young as Danica.”

Too small. Too little. She felt the gnaw of hunger in her own stomach.

Before she realized it there was tins and sealed packages in her arms.

Aster half listening half shocked at the amount as one protector was rattling off how to make it last longer, what recipes to try and something about a bone broth.

“Thank you.” Aster said softly. “Thank you really…”

Ezra helped her carry the items. They were just a few meters away when Rau caught up with them.

“Here,” he muttered. He placed a pack of tins atop the pile in Aster’s arms.

Her eyes widened. “Mackeral!!!” Her absolute favorite.

“Don’t mention it.” He warned.

Ezra laughed, “ Aw Rau we promise, can’t let everyone in on that you have a soft spot for Aster.”

The Mandalorian glared at the young Jedi before glancing back to Aster, “ Should you need more just let us know and keep us posted on how little Danica is doing.”

“I will.” She promised.

“You can come observe drills tomorrow.”

“I will be there.” She smiled, “ Thank you Fenn Rau.”

The Mandalorian waved them off.

—-

Danica went to sleep with her tummy full and asking for some more in the morning.

Starlight profusely thanked Ezra for his help while Aster and Maul spoke.

“I do not want to be indebted to them.” He growled

“You won’t be.” Aster argued. “They did it for Danica. It was for her.”

“You are showing them we are vulnerable.”

“I showed them that a child needed help.”

“What does that make me? That I can’t provide for my family?”

“No one is saying that, no one mentioned that. No one thinks you would stop. “ Starlight starts, taking their daughters side, “ they are like us, we want to be sure the little ones are alright. It’s why we are here.”

—-

Aster kept the mackeral tins hidden. Carefully opening one and bringing a bit to eat. A pleased sound from her lips.

It was different now. Things were different but somehow the same…

They would survive…for once not on their own.

[alstroemerian-dragon]

second round! and here we have the full set of coverups, all done by hajime, over the course of about a year and a half to two years post-sim. a majority of them are things fuyuhiko decided on and so theyre definitely a collaboration (and a lot of the symbolism is either stuff just he and hajime knows or stuff he thinks only he knows that hajime just doesnt make clear hes aware of lmao) but hajime did all the ink work. definitely took some convincing on makoto and kyoko’s parts to get the Foundation to send them a tattoo gun, let me tell you

like before, symbolism explanation under the cut!

on his right breast are alstroemeria lilies, or Lily of the Inca flowers. in hanakotoba, they can represent friendship and devotion, but also “such strong connection that language is limited when attempting to explain it.” dont think i need to elaborate on that one.

on his right breast are alstroemeria lilies, or Lily of the Inca flowers. in hanakotoba, they can represent friendship and devotion, but also “such strong connection that language is limited when attempting to explain it.” dont think i need to elaborate on that one.

on his left is a koi fish, a common feature in traditional japanese woodcut, and bluebells, which symbolize gratitude

on his back, there are five dragon heads emerging from a central point. the two on the sides are cut off (representing his parents), and the one on the top is as well, though it has a branch of cherry blossoms growing from the stump, which symbolize kindness and the transience of life. this neck is meant to represent his sister. the two diagonally to either side grow onto his arms. the five headed dragon is just generally meant to represent his family/clan — he wasnt sure if putting nine on there would give enough room for the other stuff he wanted, so they just settled on five

the dragon head on his right shoulder is meant to just sort of represent himself. the tail that wraps around his left bicep also features a katana and a camellia blossom, specifically a red one, which symbolizes both love and “perishing in grace”. this part of the dragon is, of course, meant for peko.

on his left shoulder are also a few kamchatka fritillaries, which symbolize both love and a curse

on his right arm and elbow replacing his mother’s hand are aster flowers, specifically tartarian aster, which symbolize remembrance. below that are just some traditionally stylized clouds to cover up the fire from before

on his left forearm is a little sigil he came up with, featuring a wrench, a crown, roses, and chains. this little combo is meant to represent his connections to the other survivors, kazuichi, sonia, and akane. on the wrist, replacing the band that symbolized his devotion to junko, is one featuring fifteen little pips in a bunch of different colors. y’all can guess with that one

on the back of his neck, above the cherry blossoms for natsumi, are a sunflower and orange blossoms. sunflowers symbolize respect and passionate love, and orange blossoms can mean purity, but thats… not really why he has either of them. and hajime also knows thats not why he has either of them. they dont talk about it.

(fun fact, orange blossoms are well known for being considered an aphrodisiac. just thought that was a fun thing to know.)

and finally, in the middle of his back, below the dragons, are a pair of red-crowned crane phoenixes. the crane is known in japan and china as being a sign of good luck and for granting favors, and the phoenix felt like it represented fuyuhiko in a weird way to me — but he specifically asked for two of them. because despite these being the final additions to his menagerie, he felt like he didnt yet have enough ink on his body representing how important hajime is to him, so he put this sappy shit in there. They Do Not Talk About It.

also, if youre wondering why he has a cross necklace, i. um. well. i just think. look they had to have left stuff in their lockers and dorms at the academy when they faked their deaths and most of the school was closed off to class 78 and its not like the Limbs could get in while they were there and then the Foundation would have raided the school so maybe they found some of their old stuff and look i’m just sayin that maybe—

[dungeons-and-divergency]

Hi there!

My name’s Barnie* and this is my oc depository and aesthetic blog. I’ll mostly be talking about my DnD/TTRPG characters but I may also include stuff for my novel characters. Neely Osbarrow has his own blog as I had a 8 month special interest in him. I don’t currently have those same buzzy feelings but maybe I will again some day so be sure to check out @neely-osbarrow​ if you enjoy him as a character.

My DnD characters in order of creation:

Sindri Ironeye (he/him)- A dwarven druid who left his mountain home young as no one there understood his affinity for all green and verdant

‘Duckie’ true name unknown (they/them)- An artificer/wizard (considering converting to an artificer/druid) gnome who maybe likes mushrooms a bit too much. They were a resident at a university until other people there got fed up with their unconventional ways of ‘study’ and they were thrown from the university. Though Duckie seems carefree and frankly high most of the time, they're actually looking for a way to resurrect their dead lover.

Neely Osbarrow (he/him)- An ex-cultist halfling ranger looking avenge his mother’s death and make sense of the world after finding out how much the cult he was brought up in twisted things beyond recognition. The cult all gone in an act of ascension without him, Neely is looking for a feeling of belonging once again and hopes to multiclass into bard, storytelling being a big passion of his.

Charis Floros (she/they)- A barbarian pirate satyr who is looking for revenge after their boyfriend betrayed them and left her for dead. Charis loves finding new friends, but romance? No thanks. Been there, done that. Never again.

Aster Lockwood (he/him)- A fairy fighter with an intense inferiority complex. He’s hoping to study fighting techniques throughout all cultures in his work as an anthropologist and take those learned skills to best his bully of a sister who tormented him all throughout his childhood and then maybe take over the world for a bit of fun afterwards.

Deryn Rivers (they/them)- A young aarakocra bard who is prone to exaggeration of their exploits and adventures. Deryn hopes to become a famous storyteller and be famed throughout the land.

Roland ‘Rolly’ Merle (he/him)- A halfling messenger who fell into roguish ways when trying to deliver some very important messages for the noble family he serves. Rolly will deliver those messages at some point, he’s sure. But what’s wrong about taking the scenic route, filled with lots of gold?

Lachlan ‘Lockie’ Beaumont (he/him)- A very flamboyant, fat, fun and flirtatious Wild Magic sorcerer halfling with an on-and-off ex(?) boyfriend who actually is the one who cursed him with the powers he now wields. Lockie is now searching for someone who will accept his need for an open relationship rather than zap him with magic for even suggesting the idea.

Arthur ‘Artie’ Garrick (any pronouns but defaults to he/him)- A reborn gnome celestial warlock whose boyfriend is their patron. Artie was a cleric but was killed and a solar working for the god Artie once served was in love with him and so got him reawoken. They rely on their angelic boyfriend for everything, most of their memories gone.

Ailbhe Keyes (they/them)- Ailbhe was a dedicated and wise coastal ranger when their young daughter was attacked by orca. Ailbhe instantly fought the orca to save their daughter but died in the process. However, the gods saw Ailbhe’s dedication to their craft and family and so granted them a place in one of the heavenly planes. But... Ailbhe’s dedication to family was a lot stronger than the gods had bargined for. Now Ailbhe wanders the planes, a ghost in every plane but the heaven Ailbhe was granted, posing some serious problems on trying to get back how to their little girl.

Jani Spurrey (he/him)- No one knew how evil Jani could be, everyone just thought him the grumpy but a loving half-elf husband to Xavier. And the loving part was no lie. But after Xavier died in an accident, Jani either snapped or the mask was dropped because he carefully warped Xander, Xavier’s twin brother, creating a mockery of his husband. Now Jani has struck a warlock deal to place the soul of his deceased husband in Xander’s body, for a price of course.

Enara Silverale (she/her)- Enara, dwarven cleric of Ilmater, is haunted by the curse that runs through her family. Never being able to stay long in one place, Enara just wants to feel love without that creeping feeling that the wolf is at her door.

Nima Charmchi (he/him)- Nima is a half elf-half dwarf and was raised by druids and rangers, meaning he feels all aspects of the earth run through him. Despite some bad luck with his boyfriends, Nima is a positive happy guy with no trauma, especially in comparison to my other characters.

Peren ‘Payr’ Liadon (he/him)- Peren comes from a long line of draconic sorcerers, and he always tries his best. However, he has no aptitude for magic, fighting or socialising, unlike the rest of his prestigious family. Despite this, he is well loved by his family for his good heart and determination. But even pitiful love takes it toll after a while, can Peren carry on being his cheery, there’s-always-next-time self for much longer?

Slypperie Gaq (no pronouns, uses name instead)- Gaq is a brave and selfless little sporekin, hailing from the Slypperie village. Gaq was part of the village guard but was recruited by the Hunters Guild after some members witnessed Gaq protect some sporekin and take down a ferocious beast. Gaq loves to just go where help is needed, and will even happily work for no gold. Gaq is also a mushroom of few words, only talking when Gaq feels it important and Gaq cannot stand nor understand lies, much to Gaq's party-mate's bemusement

Worthless - Chapter 2

*Warning Adult Content*

Kade

Stepping out of the black Hummer, I looked up at the massive house before me. It was hand built by the pack's founder, Fry Blackwood, who the pack is named after. It was originally intended for just the alpha but ended up becoming the pack house. Honestly, I couldn't even imagine why anyone would want a house that big for themselves. It would be super lonely not to mention creepy as all hell to have all that space to yourself. In my opinion, it was way better suited as a pack-house. At the moment, the monstrous building housed fourteen of the sixty-two members of the Blackwood pack and still had room for a lot more.

New or unmated pack members were usually recommended to stay but could do as they wish. Plus, we didn't get many new members and the unmated wolves were mostly kids living with their families. Most of the residents that were living here were doing so because they felt comfortable being constantly around a group of people. For me, it was just easier. I was the Beta and it'd be better to stay rather than run back and forth from an empty house. The majority of the pack had homes scattered around the territory, either in the woods or in town. It never stopped anyone coming over and hanging out though. There usually was a large number of wolves around at any given day.

The pack-house was just the center of our 'community'. It was honestly like heaven to me. I couldn't imagine not being surrounded by family. Breathing in deep, I took in the scents of my brothers and sisters, of my home. A moment later I was looking up at the sky, lungs gasping for air as a groan escaped me. Two wolves sat on me, their mouths pulled in wolfish grins. I knew who they were, instantly recognizing their scent. Vick and his twin sister Aster. A deep chuckle sounded.

"Come on you two, get off of him."

Complying, they jumped off and the view of the sky was replaced with the grinning face of Rory. He was a man, though he acted more like a boy, of Asian decent with a scar running over his eyebrow. His face was always stretched out in a smile which seemed to be contagious. He reached out, pulling me up and into a hug.

"Man. Good to see you back, Kade."

Sure enough, a smile spread across my face. It was great to see him even though he was an annoying little shit sometimes.

"Glad to be back."

We strolled up onto the porch, coming to the front door which was set with a stain glass image of a wolf.

"Did anything interesting happen while I was gone?"

He thought about it for a second as he turned the knob, motioning for me to go inside.

"Not really... there hasn't been much trouble with Rouges. Oh, there's a lone wolf but he's never crossed over from No Man's Land. Just kinda sits there, looking across. Eric said he can't connect with him but he means us no harm, so to let him be...." he frowned.

"There's been a little trouble with Murphy's pack though. We keep catching whiffs of them over here. Eric's called him multiple times with him but he denies everything."

I scowled. Murphy was the Alpha of the neighboring Dickerson Pack. They had half the members but made up for it with an unhealthy thirst for violence. We'd have to deal with them soon. Hopefully, we can talk it out instead of resulting to war.

"Oh and Jasper found his mate. A guy named Lucas. He's nice."

He gave me a sideways look as we made our way inside.

"They've been at it like rabbits."

Chuckling I rolled my eyes and cut him off before he could continue, knowing his next question.

"No, I haven't found my mate yet."

"Oh, well I'm sure you will soon," he said with confidence and a grin.

He opened his mouth to say something else but a shout cut him off.

"Yo Rory. Get your ass out here and help."

Rory shrugged at me before turning and making his way back outside. He stopped just before the last step, calling over his shoulder.

"Also, Eric wants you to come patrolling tomorrow so get up early."

I groaned, earning a chuckle in response and closed the door. I was making my way up the stairs to my bedroom just as my stomach growled. Thinking that it'd be best to feed the beast I decided to take a detour back down the stairs, heading for the kitchen where voices could be heard. I knew who it was before I saw them. Shelby and her mate Anna rested against the island, chatting away. They glanced up, sensing me and a smile formed on their lips.

"Kade, your back," Anna exclaimed, as she came around the counter, to give me a hug.

"Yeah, It's great to see you guys again," a smile tugging on my own lips.

"Is there anything to eat?"

Hey, it was nice seeing them but feeding the monster within comes first. Shelby chuckled as Anna gave me a pout.

"Yeah, Jasper made lasagna last night. I think there's some left."

My mouth watered at the thought of Jasper's food. He was best damn cook this pack ever had. 

"Thanks, Shelby."

I pulled out a stool to sit at the island.

"So I hear that Jasper found a mate... Lucas was it?"

Anna grinned.

"Yeah, they're so lovey dovey too. I mean, at first they weren't... Lucas did shoot Jasper and all, plus kept him hostage and there's the whole 'coming from a line of hunters' thing but they fell in love and OMG I ship them so hard."

I was shocked. What the fuck happened when I was gone? Seeing my face, Shelby intervened, laughing.

"Lucas comes from a family of hunters but he never actually believed in werewolves. He was horrified that the wolf he actually shot turned into a..."

The microwave beeped and Shelby took the lasagna out, setting it before me before she continued. I practically inhaled the food, gaining a couple laughs from the girls. We sat around a little longer before I made my excuses and went to go up to my bedroom, promising to tell them about my trip another time. I closed my door, breathing out a sigh of relief. I loved them but damn those girls could talk a deaf person to suicide.

Stripping off my clothes, too lazy to take a shower, I crawled into bed. While laying there, I thought about the reason why I had been gone so long. Since my eighteenth birthday I and every other werewolf on theirs, had the ability to sense our mate. The only problem is that we can't if they aren't 'right there'. We could feel that they're out there somewhere and sometimes we would have vague dreams but that was it until we met them. I was already twenty-two and there was still no sign of my mate so I decided or more accurately, Eric decided, that I'd take time off from my Beta duties and mingle with the other packs to look for them. Nothing turned up.

I didn't know if I was unlucky or what but the thought of never finding my mate made me ache more than I wanted to admit. Sighing into my pillow, I tried to picture my mate. Like every other time, the image of sad blue eyes surrounded by Auburn fur appeared. That was all I could get. They weren't even in human form. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't see anything else. It really put a damper on the excitement of finding my other half. Exhausted, I turned my thoughts away from my mate and drift off into sleep.

Falling Frost

Most of it had already melted away, to be honest. Ice turned to slush, dripping over the street- the only memento of the last night of Black Out Week. The First City was already acting as if all had gone back to normal, with only a few more street sweepers out than usual to clean up shattered glass. Ignoring everything that had gone on before, the city was almost…beautiful, like this.

If only Quebec could have enjoyed it for longer. 

They’d scammed and hacked their way through more accounts than they’d ever done before in their whole life- a life which, granted, had never asked them to do so before- but only enough to make sure everyone in their apartment had their reserve heat bill paid up, and only from those who could take the hit. Even so, investigations were going to lead back to them sooner than later, and it was time for a change of address.

But with systems still in the process of coming back online and being verified, Quebec assumed they’d have a little time at least. They visited their retired neighbor and helped her down the stairs to visit her friend. They gave away a day’s wages to their friends outside, who were not allowed to stay after the blackout stopped (their landlord had complained about them being taken in to begin with, but neighbors poking their heads out to look at her shouting was enough to shame her into letting it slide). They played with the kids in the courtyard, gave them tips on their video games. And then they headed to the evening shift of their job- their last, as it happened.

It was hard telling Ari that they were going to have to leave. He seemed to take it in great stride, though, saying he’d always known they were too good to be true. Technically, he joked, he’d have to fire them given the short notice they were leaving on, but he seemed amiable about it. To them, they were a lost kid named Quail who had simply materialized out of the aether one day. It only made sense that they’d returned to it.

Though in truth, Ari probably suspected something tragic about Quebec, casting occasional looks of pity at them at the odder things they’d say.

Quebec’s mind flitted between the cracked screen of a dropped phone and the security monitors. It was a little paranoid, maybe, but it was a little hard for them to believe things were really going to be settled after the last week. Near the end of their shift, it turned out their “instincts” were correct, just for entirely different reasons.

They set down the broken phone, curling beneath the desk when a man in a full suit of dark powered armor walked in. On his breastplate was a logo that looked a bit like an aster-like flower, but with a dark dot in the center disk, making it look a little like an eye. The telltale symbol of Cosmo Corp, whose old CEO died suddenly barely a week after the Pyxis crew had arrived. Whose new CEO’s voice was suspiciously similar. It didn’t take much to connect the dots, even if Echo’s posting hadn’t given the game away.

The man did not seem altogether too hurried. Seeing the stricken face of the manager at the register, he seemed to amble around a little, browsing through novelty phone covers and keychains. 

“Those are half-off for the New Year,” Ari offered, trying to regain his composure. So there was a mercenary here. It was weird that he was in uniform if all he was doing was shopping around. And scary. But weirder and scarier had happened. “Are…you a fan of Phoca Dot? My sister loves her.”

The mercenary pulled out a keychain of a cute fuzzy green moth boy. “I prefer Saturnii, actually. Three-fifty obol for it, then?” 

Ari nodded and rang him up. “Will that be all then, Agent…?”

“Field Agent Ailis Douglas. And I’m afraid not.”

“What…can I do for you then?”

 “I’m looking for a young adult named Quail Rembrandt. Dark olive skin, black hair, about 175 cm. I was told they could be found working here.”

Quebec froze for a moment in terror, and then shuffled quietly to grab their backpack before crawling back under the desk. Ari’s expression was hard to read, and the mercenary’s was impossible to see beneath his helmet, but the moment of silence between them spoke for both.

“That’s…correct, Field Agent, but they aren’t working today. They are likely still at home, or off doing…whatever it is they do on their off-hours. I never really asked. Are they in trouble?”

“They are not, but their presence is required at Cosmo Corp. headquarters all the same, for questioning. You have a number to contact them at, I assume.” “I…do, yes. Their next shift is the day after tomorrow, so I can’t guarantee they’ll be in any earlier. Sorry about that.”

“It is no issue. I have somewhere to be soon after this, so I’ll wait outside while you call.”

Ari nodded hesitantly, and pulled out their cell phone as they walked into the workshop. Once the door closed, Quebec popped out.

“So,” their manager whispered to them with exasperation bordering on fear, “This is why you’re quitting I guess, Quail?”

“Iiiiit’s one reason,” Quebec admitted, “The biggest reason.”

“What did you do, Quail?”

“I didn’t do anything wrong, okay, it’s just. I…have something they want.”

“Something you stole.”

“Something that’s mine. Something valuable that I made work. I…took it with me, when I left. Listen I know I haven’t always been the most up front person, but I promise you that as long as you stay out of this you’ll be okay. If they make me choose between getting caught and you getting hurt, listen, that’s not even a choice for m-.”

“But what will happen to you? What are you going to do?”

“I don’t know, and, I’ll…figure something out. I always have before,” Quebec smiled.

Ari glared at them. How this kid had managed to survive even this long eluded their reasoning. All the same, he dusted himself off and rubbed his temples before finally telling Quebec, “You can start by taking the back exit, I’ll stall the big guy. And if I ever fucking see you around here again…you owe me.” Ari sighed, muttering under his breath, “Good luck, Quail.”

Quebec checked the security feed one last time. He was still out there. Good. They nodded to Ari and opened the back door as quietly as they could. 

There was only one way out, though, seeing as one alley would lead straight to the front of the store where the agent was, while the other led to a side street. As they ran down the obvious path, though, they found themselves tripping and falling as they ran past a dumpster. At first they thought it was from the slush, until they realized something stinging had tied their legs together. Wire…? Metal wire, but strangely constructed. Magnetic. It stuck to their hands as they tried clawing it off of their legs, and they found themselves scraping it off frantically on the dumpster nearby. 

They almost hadn’t noticed the shadow now at the other end of the alley. Almost. With bits of metal still sticking to their hands, Quebec started sprinting. They were no Uniform, able to jet themselves into a blur of color (or lack thereof), but they could still sustain a higher running speed than the average human, and for much longer. 

In theory, at least. The agent’s suit seemed to let him keep them in eyesight, but for how long? Long enough that they might be caught if they weren’t careful, perhaps. Even with a map of the city in their mind, they couldn’t tell which other routes might’ve been rigged, only estimate what they considered the most likely. 

But then again. Perhaps that was his thinking, too. Pushing past confused crowds, Quebec dodged into another alley, towards another apartment building. All they needed to find was…yes. There. A fire escape. Running up the wall a little, they leapt onto it, giving themselves about a story of a head start. They needed it, too, as the Agent stood at the bottom just a few seconds after. But they weren’t out of tricks. Not yet.

There wasn’t much of anywhere to hide on a roof, though. A few house plants dotted it, but none large enough to hide behind. There was the entrance to the building itself, though. Locked, but at least the side of the building would provide a moment of cover, enough to activate their cloaking. In a moment, a field projected directly over them, bending light around them. It was meant to keep them safe from or allow them to observe dangerous wildlife, though it could really only redirect light from a relatively narrow band of frequencies.

Visible light seemed like the most logical to set it for, for a human. But what about that helmet? Quebec wasn’t sure at all what it was capable of. They tried to up their cooling systems. Maybe if he took long enough, their infrared signature would drop to ambient levels…?

But it wasn’t long until the sound of metal rattling a single thud rang out. Somehow, though, that was the most noise he managed to make. With slow and careful steps the field agent began inspecting the area. For a harrowing second, it appeared as if he looked right at them…before moving on. Briskly, he began inspecting the edges of the roof, looking for signs of disturbance.

“Rembrandt,” the filtered voice called out, “Come out. You are not in danger, if you do not resist. You are wanted alive.” Silence. Deathly silence. “I know you’re here. You’ve been flaking bits of snare the whole way through. Your trail ends here.” Quebec counted themselves lucky that they did not actually have to breathe like a human. “So be it. I have nowhere else to be.”

The agent stood there like a statue, perfectly still. Though the voice was not familiar to them, for a moment the eeriness of it made Quebec question whether or not this man was not in fact another android. Surely it couldn’t be, Echo said they weren’t done, that they were working on a different model-

The entrance to the apartment opened. Quebec couldn’t see who it was that made to come out, but it didn’t matter. It would be a distraction enough. But while the agent was gesturing towards them to leave, Quebec realized that there could be no graceful egress. Dropping from the roof would make a loud sound, and they couldn’t do much about the shiny breadcrumbs they were evidently leaving. 

Their eyes caught the agent’s pistol. No. No, never, in an actual million years would Quebec have gone through with it. But maybe he didn’t know that. 

Creeping up directly behind him, they waited for him to stand still again. Yes, just like that. Now if they were just quick enough-

They were. But the agent was no slouch either. As if expecting it in some capacity, he drew his knife, holding it to Quebec’s neck even as a pistol was aimed at his left eye. A knife wouldn’t do much, even by someone in a suit like his, Quebec estimated. Not with this little room for leverage between them, at least. But it would tear their skin, and that would mark them, reveal them perhaps. That was almost as bad.

Especially for someone whose identity was so tied up in it. 

“I’ll-I’ll shoot, Agent,” Quebec said, flicking off the safety, but keeping their finger far from the trigger, they tried to force their voice to stay level, but they couldn’t keep the pitch even, “Don’t think I won’t. I will. I’m- I’m desperate, you know. I’ve killed before.”

The agent was silent and unmoving as he was before. He waited. And waited. And waited.

“No, you haven’t. And you aren’t going to. Put the gun down, Quail.”

“I…” Quebec tried to step backwards, but the agent moved forwards in tandem, pressing the knife firmly against synthetic skin- enough that it might have drawn just the slightest bit of blood if they had any. “I can’t. I don’t…I don’t want to hurt you. Please, just. You don’t understand what’s at stake here. Can we just talk about this?”

“My mission is to bring you in. Additionally, it is difficult to hold a conversation at gunpoint, Quail. Put the weapon down.”

Quebec’s gold eyes looked into the blood red lenses, begging for a sign of sympathy that just wasn’t there. But the truth was that despite that, whoever was beneath the armor was a living being. A person. Someone who had family, friends, maybe even pets.He was a human, as far as they could reason. A part of the world they wanted to save, not leave bleeding alone.

Even if it meant surrender.

Quebec dropped the gun and kicked it away. Damn things. Before they could consider the matter further, a handcuff slapped around one of their wrists. The other, quite wisely on the agent’s part, was around his. There’d be no way to get it off through brute force without hurting him. They began the walk back to his car. As if dropping all pretense of ever having tried, Quebec’s voice became chipper again. 

“So! You’re pretty good. How’d you find me?”

The agent regarded them for a moment. “You’re a little too good at your work, actually.”

“But people never even like…saw me at the front, basically.”

“That didn’t stop them from leaving reviews.”

“So you make use of the blackout to set the traps where you think I am. What if I hadn’t been the one to trigger it?”

“Acceptable risk.”

“I disagree! Those things hurt!” They knew feeling pain wasn’t a useless skill. The panic it caused them surely bought them at least a little extra time. If only they had used it better…

The Agent didn’t seem to want to comment on that, or much of anything else Quebec tried to use to prompt conversation. If he was irritable about their attempts, he at least kept it to himself. But he didn’t show a moment of hesitation or uncertainty when he uncuffed himself and shoved Quebec against the side of his car to cuff them properly, either. It was hard to say if that was out of malice or concern that they’d bolt, though.

When they were in the car, their seat belts strapped in, Quebec gave it another try.

“So like…what do you know about me, anyway?”

“I know you’re wanted for questioning.”

“Yeah, man, I get that. I mean besides that.”

“...I know you are a former colleague of my employer, and that you are a security risk to them while out in the open.”

“Security risk…? They think I’d hurt them?”

“They think the danger to your life would cause problems for them as well. That is all I have been given on the matter.”

Quebec shuffled around, testing their handcuffs. They were strong, but…maybe not quite strong enough? If they concentrated enough-

“This car has a functioning rear view mirror, Quail. As well as bulletproof glass” 

“Oh,” Quebec replied, looking down a bit sheepishly. Truthfully they weren’t exactly sure what their plan was now. Try to smash the window? Roll out into traffic? They’d probably survive, but maybe not with all of their face still on.

A call came through the car’s short-range wireless connection to the agent’s phone. 

“Agent Douglas,” a much more familiar voice came over the speakers , “your position appears to be en route to HQ. Does this mean that the target is secured?”

“Yeah yeah yeah,” Quebec replied loudly before the agent could, “Hi to you too E-Ehhhhh. Yyyyyou.”

“I’ll take that to mean you’re at least functional,” came Echo’s irritated voice, “Believe you me, you’re going to have plenty of time to talk. Now is not it. Douglas?”

“The target has been secured with negligible damage.”

“That pleases me greatly, Agent,” Echo replied with audible relief, “good work.” The concern in Echo’s voice was endearing to Quebec, but was then immediately ruined by them telling them, “As for you, ‘Quail’. Please don’t do anything stupid. It’s over. Just. Let it be over.”

“I mean I don’t really have a choice here,” Quebec replied, “but T-”

“We. Will work it out. Alright? Plan’s changed a little bit. Just trust me. Please. And Quail?”

“Yeah?”

“...Don’t scare me like that again. And don’t harass the agent with inane queries. He’s a man of great restraint but he doesn’t deserve to have it tested.”

“Roger roger,” Quebec replied, only half-sarcastically, while leaning their cheek against the window.

They had a lot of explaining to do.

[ellanainthetardis]

Heyy! Good morning! Hope you are doing well! ❤️ So lately I’ve been heavily fixated on hc about Haymitch’s father. You’ve already explained the general story, but is there more to his story after he abandoned his family? Did he hop to another woman and have another child? (Which most dirtbags do) where the hell did he go!? 12 doesn’t seem like a large district, I would imagine he would run into Iris from time to time if he stayed there. Was he around to watch H get reaped? Does he know about his previous family’s fate?? Lmaoo! Im sorry! Again this has become my latest mini obsession and would love to hear your thoughts!

Aaah Shayne. XD Yeah, Twelve isn't a big place. I actually hc that he did moved on to another woman and had another kid but Haymitch never had anything to do with her and doesn't consider her his sister. As far as he was concerned Hayden was his only brother (keep in mind he was 5 when his father walked out and probably only discovered he may have other half-siblings around way later when he was already struggling to help keep his brother fed).

I like the idea of Shayne coming back around once Haymitch has won, supposedly because Iris and Hayden are dead and he is a changed man who wants to reconnect and what not and Haymitch being just vulnerable enough to be open to it only for Shayne to want to get money out of the situation and Haymitch slamming that door shut real fast. From then on, his father is dead to him either way. However, more realistically and in my default verse, I think I hc Shayne being such a drinker that he dies when Haymitch is still in his younger teenage years (around 12 or so) but by that point he's already pretty much dead to him anyway. Haymitch holds a grudge like nobody after all.

As for any half-sibling he may have, he never goes looking, never tries to contact the one he knows about. It's safer that way for everyone involved and he doesn't want her, as terrible as it sounds. She isn't his sister because his only sibling was Hayden and to change that would be to betray him. I don't think she and her family would make it out of Twelve's bombings either.

[corvology]

watching the half of it and … at first i was like holy shit why did they pick no exit but now i see i’m at the scene where they’re in church and aster texts paul/ellie sth like “you think father shanley knows what’s going on around him?” and ellie replies and she looks at aster but aster looks at paul AND IT’S LIKE NO EXIT:

ines wants estelle, but estelle has eyes for garcin. the configuration feels like the one where estelle is in garcin’s arms but ines does not let them forget she’s here, and makes garcin stop holding estelle. in the half of it, there’s a big difference: ellie doesn’t make her presence known. (EDIT: now that I’ve finished the film…. Yeah. Once Ellie makes her presence known anything between paul & aster falls apart, although it’s because Aster leaves and not Paul. Similar but different at the same time to Garcin being like no, I can’t hold you when she’s (Ines) watching like this.)

there’s other parallels too, like obv. the 2 women 1 man trio, and how paul and ellie are the first to interact and ellie throws a lot of hard truths into paul’s face, as ines does when she’s trying to “break into” garcin.

AND NOW THAT I THINK. IT GOES FURTHER! they’re also direct opposites of their no exit characters:

garcin is fundamentally a coward and a cheater. he might have education but he is unable to admit that he was a bad person. paul on the other hand, may not have much knowledge but one thing he has for sure is that he’s anything but a coward. he acts and tries his best where garcin runs away. (+ garcin and paul share one similarity; their expectations, etc. are shaped by christianity initially : garcin first asking the bellboy where the torture devices and the fire is, as he was expecting a christian version of hell & paul reacting badly initially to learning ellie likes aster. once again if i recall paul says something like “you’re going to hell”…? which brings up the femme damnée pattern that links ellie and ines again)

ines is, simply put, evil. might be why ellie is called aster’s father’s “favourite heretic”; a parallel to ines being a “femme damnée”. but back to ines. she’s fuelled on others’ pain and has no qualms messing with others. she takes up a lot of space and is fuelled by the pain she causes. ellie on the other hand is the opposite, she doesn’t take much space, helps others, and is generally a good person working hard for her family.

estelle in no exit is a very superficial, self absorbed. unbelievably so. she’s a very materialistic and selfish girl who behind a naive exterior hides a rotten core. aster is also a direct opposite to this, as in she does also have an initial image of a pretty girl, etc. but contrary to estelle there is a deeper side to her, a very soft one. what they do have in common is being with a rich boy/man they do not like at first while being poorer themselves ; estelle to get money for her sister if I recall properly???

i suppose hell would be squahamish, since they all “can’t leave” at least at the point I’m at.

anyways I’ll probably add onto this because no exit/huis clos makes me vibrate like a bug

UPDATE: ok a few other things. first thing I thought of was that both ellie and ines “dupe” estelle/aster, albeit in completely different ways.

in ines’ case, she acted like a mirror for estelle and made her believe she had a big red spot on her face, when she didn’t. in ellie’s case she also acted like a “mirror”, but instead of distorting aster’s vision of herself, she distorted the vision of paul for aster.

second thing is that the link between ellie and paul is the opposite of garcin and inès. whilst garcin and ines are linked by their horribleness and cruelty above their attraction to estelle, with ines pointing out that link, paul and ellie are linked by their inherent goodness. they’re good people, hardworking, caring. that’s what links them above their love for aster. 

last thing is, in a sense could the teacher be the bellboy? as in… she opens the “door”, she offers an exit from squahamish (hell) to ellie, who doesn’t take it initially, thus not leaving hell despite the door being open just like in no exit. of course the ending is wholly better and thankfully so because no exit is insane

I loved your drabble you did on the Rogers family, the mini golf one. But could you show us a glimpse of how they were as kids, How James reacted to him going to have siblings? How a Toddler James was with Baby Sammy and Baby Emi? their bonding and all?

Marta came into James' life from the beginning basically. His first true time bonding with Steve, she was there. So even when Marta and Steve weren't together, she was apart of James' life. He was very young when Steve got full custody of him. So he doesn't actually remember a time when Marta wasn't in his life, and she stepped up immediately to be the mothering type, and then his mom. So for age references James was nearly six when Sammy was born and then seven when Emy was born. I don't know if you caught in the hearing that Emy did not like James being referred to as her "half" brother. That is Emy and Sammy's brother. They have never treated or acted like he wasn't, and neither has Marta. James is such a good big brother, and was so happy when Sammy and Emy were born.

Desperate Lives AU Masterlist

Steve & Marta Masterlist

James knew without knowing that there was something different about his dad, and his mom. He had become quite attached to her early on in their relationship. Seeing the way Steve was with James, is what attracted her to her future husband. And James finally having that mothering touch that he craved so much, and Marta fulfilled that need perfectly.

She doted on him any chance she got. Took him to work with her, because Harlan insisted. But James didn’t care, he got to play with Aster but most importantly Iris. But at nap time, he wanted to be with Marta, calling her mom very early on in her relationship with Steve. Almost scaring the poor woman. But she adored the little boy. Wondered how anyone could give him up, and cut off contact almost immediately. Only making a show of James as Peggy’s son, when it benefited her. And it wasn’t long before there was no contact whatsoever.

James didn’t care, Marta was his mom. Would fall asleep on her, and always wanted to hold her hand over Steve’s. He even made the comment how he got his son only to lose him once again. But he adored watching them together. Steve couldn’t wait to make another baby, and Marta was the one.

While James was an accident, he was the happiest of accidents to Steve. But this time, he wanted it planned. Mentioning it to Marta, she only bashfully smiled, but with a quick kiss and confirmation, they started trying. It took them a long time, but they had fun trying.

But telling James was something that Marta and Steve were both fully looking forward too. He might not have known what was going on, but he knew it was something. Suspiciously watching his parents when his dad’s hand was always on her belly, “There’s a baby in there, huh?”

“What?” Marta asked, leaving Steve to give her a soft kiss to her neck.

“There is. That’s how Ransom acted with Miss Kitty. There’s a baby isn’t there?” Steve gives a slow nod, and James gets the biggest smile on his face. “I’m right?” he whispers, smiling through his tears, before going to sit in Marta’s lap. “I always wanted my own sister. I want her to look just like you, mama.”

“Well, mija, we don’t know if we’re having a girl,” her hands pet over James’ hair so sweetly, and she gives a kiss on his head.

“Promise, if it’s a boy, that you do this again until I get a sister.”

“Buddy,” Steve asks, trying to get James’ attention. “You’re really happy, even if it’s a boy?”

“As long as you give me a sister.”

__________________________________________

While Sammy wasn’t a girl, James was so excited to meet him. Having stayed with the Drysdale’s while Steve and Marta were in the hospital. And when he walked into that room and saw that tiny little crying baby, he smirked at his dad, “Give me another. I don’t want Sammy and my little sister to have too much space in between them.”

“Can we just enjoy your brother for a little bit first, bud?” Steve giggles, helping his curious son into the hospital bed. He leans over on Marta’s shoulder just gazing at the little baby.

“He’s handsome,” those glassy eyes look up at Marta, “thank you.”

“Oh, Jamey, why are you thanking me?”

“You make me and dad so happy,” his little face contorts, and he buries it in Marta’s shoulder. Her green eyes look up at Steve, and she pouts at him.

“You and your daddy make me so happy, too. Stevie, I am a wreck. Why is this perfect little boy so sweet? If Sammy isn’t half as sweet as you,” she nuzzles her face over his soft hair, and just smiles at Steve. “He’s so perfect…oh this is my sweet tender boy.”

__________________________________________

Marta’s first pregnancy was so easy, and she had the most perfect delivery, she did not wait before she was making those bedroom eyes at Steve. Her fingers constantly caressing over him. Fully ready to create another life. Thinking to herself that she could get used to this.

This pregnancy wasn’t easy. She was sick. She had health complications. She was told to enjoy the time as much as possible. Rest whenever she could, and you had helped out a lot. Taking care of the boys, while she cared for Harlan. Even he would rub along her belly, telling Marta that her daughter just wanted to make a grand entrance.

It was not a fun time, but she was happy that it was a girl. And even James would talk to baby Sammy, cooing to him, and telling him all about how to be a good big brother, Sammy would only giggle and say nonsensical words back, but then, James said the sweetest thing, “Mama, can I hold her?”

Marta pats at bed beside her, letting James crawl on up, waiting patiently for when she would place that sweet baby in his arms. Marta cries watching the son she didn’t plan for hold his sister. The son, that she didn’t know she wanted, didn’t realize you could love someone so much. There was no love lost when Samuel and Emilia was born. If anything she loved him even more. Loved how tender he was with his siblings and even how Sammy would grunt seeing his bub pay attention to someone else.

“I still love you, too, Sammy,” he smiles over at his brother being held by Steve. “Mama, how are you feeling? Is everything okay?” with a questioning look at James she nods. “How old should you be to have a family?”

“Son,” Steve starts giggling. “Why are you asking?”

“I want this one day.”

“With a certain girl in mind, mija?” Marta asks, and James nods. “Maybe one day.”

“Not maybe, it will happen,” he leans over kissing his sister, “Emy you’re beautiful just like mama. I’ll help you learn to walk, and let you crawl on me, too, okay? I kissed her,” he gives a peeking smirk to his dad. “Again.”

“You better quit. Ransom will get you one day.”

“When we get married he can’t.”

This was a Discord anniversary gift for @straight-into-the-animus and I wanted to share it on here as well!

Arno & Jacob

Peony – Good fortune, happy marriage, everlasting prosperity

Being in his husband’s arms unburdened Arno from so much doubt that he carried. He still remembers his wedding day, how both of them were so hesitant and afraid. It all seemed so silly now after the years of life they built together. Jacob was....many things, Arno knew that as much when he first met him, but the love of his life was a full guarantee. There was no one, and nothing, that he would trade Jacob for. Holding him in his arms, reminiscing on the mirthful ceremony that just took place hours ago, Arno felt as if he was floating. Maybe he was a bit of a sap as his sister liked to tease so very often, but he didn't care. Seems as if the sap of the family didn't turn out too bad making a life for himself.

Malik & Altair

Sunflower – happiness and vitality

If a stranger were to tell either men that they were meant to be, both would have scoffed at the latter and at each other. Yet, denial was the first step in what led to a tumultuous courtship and eventual union. Both men, prideful and arrogant in their own way, who never wanted to give the latter the higher ground. Neither would push or pull. It spoke in between their kisses, fleeting touches in their brief intimacy, and in the few times where they let their walls down amongst each other. Malik was not one to admit such soft and yearning feelings, but that hardened exterior was only shed for one individual, even if it was sometimes due to Altair's cockiness (damn him). Altair didn't just see Malik as one who just called him "novice" or as another Assassin. His heart beat for this man, yearned and longed for him during the long missions, and craved for more time whenever it could be found. Amidst their strife and work, there was an unspoken truth between both men: that their love, no matter how brief it could last, gave a new sense of life. Something else besides just being an Assassin.

Ezio & Leonardo

Aster – Wisdom, royalty, devotion, purity, faith

Ezio was a man who had lost much in his life. Members of family, sense of self, hope, anything a man can list when they are being chased by a vengeful bloodline. It was miracle that he never lost the love in his heart and his life. He wasn't much a man of faith after the loss of his father and brothers, but Ezio was grateful to a higher power for sending Leonardo. Leo, who was caught up in his art and inventions, was a rock and cornerstone for the Auditore male heir. Through the toils and troubles of becoming an Assassin in the Brotherhood to avenging his deceased through the Borgias, Leonardo was there. Be it at any secret rendezvous or meeting at the villa for any respite, he was there with open arms for the weary Ezio.

Connor (based on From the Children)

Lavendar – healing, devotion, luck

He felt immense pity for the given situation. Such a young boy who had to endure a life that was not entirely meant for him. Connor didn't know whether to blame himself or the Assassin's, but one thing was certain: such a lad deserved better. Maybe it was the way Shay started to take charge, or how he was steadfast at the helm of the ship, but there was a foreign feeling that overcame him. Pride? Ambition? A sense of hope? He realized he did not children of his own, but now it seemed to be something of a reality he wanted to create. Though Haytham was the boy's father, it was safe to say that the only relation was through blood. Come what may, the vengeful Assassin's and those he used to call friends or the Templars who felt entitled to everything else, Connor was not one to go down without a fight. Hell or highwater would not come for this young boy's life, and the potential new beginning that laid ahead.

Alexios, Lykaon,Thaletas

Dahlia – commitment, discovery

Coming back home was more than just returning to the country side. It meant reuniting with a sister, and the two other individuals he wanted in his life. Alexios and his fellow Greeks had heard of the philosophers and wise people say that beauty was terror. It was a terror to find someone, or something, as beautiful and stunning as Lykaon and Thaletas were. It meant to let them in, to tell them of what he had endured on his voyage, and to come back a changed man. Alexios didn't want to admit, but underneath the battle worn exterior, his heart quickened when he returned home. Would they see him as different? Accept him? His answer came in the form of open, welcoming arms. The tears of relief fell down Alexios's face in gentle streams. Yes, this is what it meant when beauty is terror. It's the fear that one wouldn't accept their other half, but for Alexios, he would never have to face his fears alone anymore.

GasterAftonrune AU: W.D. Gaster & Aster G. Afton (2022)

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

Credit for Doki Doki Literature Club goes to Team Salvato

Credit for FNAF Series goes to Scott Cawthon

Credit for Undertale & Deltarune goes to Toby Fox

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

I am going to post one more thing up, before I go watch the two Silent Hill Movies.

and calling the the AU as “GasterAftonrune” was the best I could think of.

the idea is that the Crying child is named Aster G. Afton, the “G” being part of a middle name but what the middle name is could be left unknown for now.

Crying Child could be named Evan, but the one in this drawing is Aster Afton. what if Crying Child was "reborn" as W.D. Gaster, but he still has memories of his life as Aster G. Afton and how his older brother use to bully him.

this drawing also has Elizabeth Afton, Circus Baby and Monika in it.

we know that Circus Baby ends up haunted by Elizabeth Afton's Soul.

but what would happen if when Elizabeth’s Soul is freed from Circus Baby,

she ends up being “reborn” in the DDLC and becomes Monika.

and at some point in her new life as “Monika” she becomes lonely and at some point meets and falls in love with the MC of DDLC, but it turns out it isn’t in love with the controllable main character, but the Player.

the whole GasterAftonrune, is suppose to be a Crossover AU...

I like the concept about the crying child is named Aster G. Afton and when he died he was reborn/transmigrated into Undertale, and maybe even ended up in Deltarune at some point.

  anyway I’m going to go back to checking out some stuff on here,

then after I am done, I’m going to go watch Silent Hill.

even if not everyone has to like this Crossover AU, I hope some do like it.

I mean if Sans can be a alternate future version of Steven Quartz Universe....

then Gaster could be the Future self of William Afton’s youngest son the crying child aka Aster G. Afton.      

I hope I can play FNAF Security Breach someday, and hope they put it on the Nintendo Switch, like in the game card form in a game case just like with Undertale and DDLC Plus....I don’t want it to be download only.

there is Xbox One, but I don’t think I have enough space for it so I can only hope they do have the game in Nintendo Switch form in a real game card in a game case, in the future.

it be nice if I could get a PlayStation-5 but sadly I don’t think I will be able to get it unless we save enough to get it....who knows how long that would take.

I guess I should be happy with the game consoles we have right now.

I also figured out how to make Lucina and Cynthia becoming half-siblings,

having the same save but copying it into another file and making sure to have Chrom marry Robin first in the first new save file, and marry Sumia in the copy version that hasn’t had Chrom and Robin fall in love to the point they become husband and wife.

before I did that, I made sure to get Donny first,

in the copy save where Chrom is married to Sumia, and will technically be the parents of both Lucina and Cynthia, while in the original save, Chrom is married to Robin and both will be parents of Lucina and Morgan.

in one of the copies of the saves where Chrom is married to Sumia,

I can have Robin be with someone else who will become the father of Morgan.

in the save where Chrom and Robin are married, I can have Sumia stay single.

well that is the idea I want to go with...

like it turning out that Chrom and Robin start out with a happy marriage,

but at some point Robin finds out that Chrom also proposed to Sumia without the two women’s knowledge or consent, so they had him pick which one of them he wants to be with the most, and he ends up choosing Sumia.

Robin gets custody of Lucina, but still lives in the castle with her husband and his other wife Sumia, and at some point Sumia has Cynthia, giving Lucina a little sister who would also be her half-sister from their father’s second wife.

at some point after Cynthia is born, Robin ends up marrying another man and ends up having a child she names Morgan.

this would end up having Lucina, Cynthia and Morgan becoming half-siblings from the same yet different save file, cause one is a copy of the other but it was copied first before starting the romance for Chrom.

it’s possible that Lucina and Cynthia could be sisters in canon,

like Chrom and Sumia falling in love and getting married could be the true timeline of the game....that is just a theory, but it could possibly be true.

anyway hope some of you like this Crossover drawing that has Undertale, FNAF and Doki Doki Literature Club.

I’m going to check out a few more stuff on here, then I’m going to go watch Silent Hill.

ChiLumi | The Battle of Golden House

Golden House was what screwed my feelings over the most, if I'm being completely honest here. It hurts so damn much.

I don't wanna get into too much of the nitty-gritty before we start but here are some FYIs.

Childe temporarily joined Lumine's team after their little outing in Liyue. His reasoning to the Fatui was that it was to squeeze out information--in reality, he just wanted to spend time with Lumine.

The team was compromised of most of the characters, except for Venti, Klee, Bennett, Mona, Keqing, Qiqi, Jean, Diluc, Ningguang, Zhongli, and Xinyan. This took place BEFORE the 1.2 update happened!

Kaeya, Chongyun, Xiangling, and Barbara were the least suspicious of Childe as they spent more time around him and knew of his feelings towards Lumine--they are also the main team members in this fight.

All this is based off of my gameplay in Genshin!

Leading Up to the Battle

Childe and Lumine were very close. Weeks had passed and Childe had gotten to the point where he would use "Lumine" more often instead of "Traveler" or "ojou-chan". Childe would also call Lumine "Aster" due to her favorite flower being a Windwheel Aster

Kaeya was also the closest to the two of them and gave advice to both Lumine and Childe on how they should court each other

However, Childe was eventually reminded that the good times can't last forever. After he hard that Lumine visited the Jade Chamber that floated above Liyue, he remembered that he wasn't here to chat. His initial goal was to bring back the gnosis.

The night before the fight, as the team rested at an inn on the way to Liyue, Childe, cloakee by the darkness of night, left the group. He ditched the weapons that Lumine gave to him as well as his artifacts. If he held onto them during their destined battle, he knew he wouldn't be able to fulfill his duty.

Childe hesitated to leave, and yet, with a heavy heart, he left the Inn behind and stationed the Fatui to mobilize in Liyue.

The next morning, Lumine was shattered to see that Childe was gone.

Confrontation

The group heard of the Fatui being mobilized as well as the Adepti and the Qixing about to throw down, and Zhongli gave Lumine the tip that Childe was behind it. She really wanted to be able to talk it out with Childe and convince him he didn't need to go this far, but Zhongli himself stated that "sometimes, they won't understand that until everything is said and done."

Lumine was ready to confront Childe, but her heart was shaking and she felt uneasy. The uneasiness began to settle in though when she and the rest of the group approched the Exuvia and heard Childe's chilling laughter echo throughout the empty hall.

Lumine, hoping to resolve this without fighting, tried to talk to him.

"Childe, you don't have to do this! Don't you remember all the fun times we had? All of us? You're one of us, Childe! You don't have to be their pawn!"

Deep inside, Childe agreed. He knew full well that Lumine had a point--that he was merely being used as a pawn and he could easily discarded. He wanted to join Lumine, but...

"Monsters like the Fatui cannot be saved."

That was all that ran through his mind.

He wanted to agree; god knows he did. What he wouldn't give to leave the Fatui, resign as a Harbinger, and join everyone on that team on their adventures and protect everyone that he ever loved.

But he just couldn't do that.

Childe knew that Lumine wouldn't give up, no matter what, and he kept battling within himself. Sadly, though, his "loyalty" to the Tsaritsa got the better of him.

"Shut up!"

Lumine fell silent, and the entire group watched as Childe began to call her out. It pained him to do so, but his loyalty to the Tsaritsa practically demanded that he continue with this farce.

He said many things he truly wished he didn't say, many things he wanted to take back. But he was too far in. He stopped calling Lumine by her name, instead only calling her "Traveler", trying to distance himself. He mocked Lumine, as well as everyone else, calling them naïve for trusting a Fatui, of all people. Deep down, he was happy they trusted him. He wasn't upset with them, but himself for doing this.

Childe was waiting for Lumine to retort--to fight back and say something, and it looked like she was about to...

...until he said he was simply toying with Lumine's feelings.

Lumine didn't want to take that at face value, and Childe didn't want her to either. But, as soon as he said that, even though he may not have meant it, she shed a single tear.

Kaeya intervened, stating that Childe went too far. The Harbinger knew that... he knew that all too well. But, time could not rewind. He had already done enough damage.

He convinced himself that there was no turning back. If he was to fulfill his duty as a vassal of the Tsaritsa, he needed Lumine to hate him. He needed to crush all the lingering feelings that were held between the two of them. He needed to be the villain.

With that, he challenged Lumine to a battle. And thus, the Battle of Golden House was set in motion.

Phase 1 and 2: Childe Unleashed

He was completely ready for Lumine to throw everything at him, but instead, she stood still, not moving. Her eyes were devoid of the hatred he was hoping to see. It was... empty.

Instead, Kaeya, Chongyun, Xiangling, and Barbara hopped in. Noelle shielded the rest of the party, Lisa and Amber comforting Lumine, who was silently weeping in heartbreak. Everyone looked upon Childe with hatred, wondering why he would do such a thing.

Xiangling would crash into Childe, crossing blades and questioning why he was doing this. She believed he was happy with them, so why did they have to fight?

Chongyun, too, was upset. He may have come late to the party, but he saw how easily Childe fit in. In fact, while Chongyun was trying to train to get on par with the rest of the team, Childe would help out.

Barbara was one of the only rational ones, and she sensed there was more to the story. She tried to talk it out with Childe, saying that he didn't have to do this and there was no real reason they had to fight. She knew that Childe wasn't happy with this either.

But it was Kaeya that completely lost it.

People say that Kaeya is one of the chiller, cooler people in all of Teyvat. But, make no mistake... Kaeya is scary when he gets angered. When you push the wrong buttons, he will show absolutely no mercy.

While the three main fighters were throwing questions at him, trying to persuade him to stop it, Kaeya threw himself into the battle without second thought. He asked no questions--he only snarled at the one he once saw Lumine happy with.

Kaeya was supportive of Childe and Lumine when he saw how happy she was with him and how Childe seemed to be the same way. Kaeya understood Lumine didn't have her brother there like she used to, and he understood that same feeling, so he swore to try and be the brother that the both of them didn't have at the moment. Lumine was practically his little sister.

So when Childe betrayed her, when he broke her heart, Kaeya was ready to go absolutely apeshit.

Throughout the battle, even when Childe reached Phase 2, Kaeya would be the one throwing blow after blow at the Harbinger. It wasn't just physical hits, either. It included emotional daggers.

The two men would argue constantly, Kaeya threatening Childe and Childe laughing in response, mocking him.

"She trusted you--no, WE trusted you! I let the fact that you're a Fatui go because I thought you had some piece of humanity in you!"

"Then that was YOUR mistake! You just had to believe a Fatui all because, what? Your "surrogate sister" fell in love? Haha, don't make me laugh! Just because you didn't have a brother for half your life doesn't mean you need to project yourself onto the Traveler and become hers!"

The more their blades crossed, the more enraged Kaeya became. However, a third blade came into play and threw Kaeya's sword out of his hands.

It was Lumine.

Phase 3: Tartaglia's Foul Legacy

Lumine was standing still, her sword at her side. She stared at Childe with no emotion showing on her face. This was it, Childe thought. She finally hates me.

Childe held up his weapon, but before he could strike Kaeya and Lumine, she blocked it with her anemo skill, her feet digging into the floor as her geo skill kept her in place. Kaeya lept away, and all that was left on the battlefield was Childe and Lumine.

A large explosion of light occurred, but Childe simply appeared on the Exuvia, ready to grab the Gnosis. But when he discovered it wasn't there, he didn't know what to think.

Lumine stood still, and Childe wanted to end it there. But part of him delusionally screamed "No!", and instead pinned the blame on her.

It felt like Childe was slowly being torn apart on the inside. He wanted to stop it, apologize to Lumine and run away with her and their friends, but he needed to fulfill his duties.

In the end, Childe listened to his head. He unleashed his Foul Legacy transformation and destroyed the flooring below everyone, sending them to the lower platform.

Kaeya was going to step in, but Lumine game him a look. It was as if to say "This is between me and him." So, Kaeya backed off and retreated to the rest of the group.

Lumine and Tartaglia simply stared at each other. Tartaglia expected for Lumine to say something, but no words were spoken. Instead, she immediately rushed towards him.

Tartaglia expected to block it, ready to stop her in her tracks. He was ready to take her head-on and see her full power...

...then she drew two blades made of water.

Tartaglia was in shock. Lumine pulled a surprising move... she was using his weapon! It stunned him, even amazed him, but for some reason, it also broke his heart. He left behind the weapons he used when with Lumine's team, not wanting to use them in fear that it would stop him from using his full potential, but here they were... being used against them.

It was after she pulled those weapons out that Tartaglia's moves grew slower.

Many speculated this was because Tartaglia's armor was heavier and using up most of his power. However, Barbara understood. She saw the look in Childe's eyes when Lumine entered the arena. He seemed prideful, but his eyes said different. He, just like Lumine, didn't want to do this.

Tartaglia was holding back.

Tartaglia and Lumine kept clashing. Their powers were equal to each other, and Lumine kept switching between using her blade and the weapons once used by Childe himself. Even still, no words were exchanged. There was no expression on Lumine's face. Within the Golden House, all that could be heard was the sounds of blades clashing, lightning striking, wind howling, and water crashing.

The two of them fought hard. In the end, both were one hit away from being knocked out and losing. Tartaglia had one charged attack he had been storing up and was ready to unleash it.

"If I use it, she will obviously dodge it... and then she can beat me. Then, she will hate me like she was destined to."

Tartaglia lifted his blade into the air and, using his Delusion, summoned a large amount of Electro energy. It wasn't undodgable--in fact, Lumine could just jump back and strike him and the fight would end there.

Just as he was about to strike, however, Lumine instead rushed towards Tartaglia, rushing right past him. Instead of dodging, she ran straight into the attack. Tartaglia was shocked, staring at the Traveler being pierced by the lightning. Just as she was struck, she whispered softly the only words she had spoken throughout the entire fiasco...

"...if I knew it would've come to this, I wish I never fell in love with you."

Lumine, at last, fell.

Fallen

Childe dropped his weapon, staring at Lumine's body as it hit the ground. She was knocked out cold. He reached out his arm, only for Barbara to rush in and throw her arms out to her side, as if forbidding Childe to touch her.

Memories of the times that they spent together flowed through his mind. He couldn't move. He felt paralyzed. He wanted to pick up Lumine and apologize, say it was all a joke and he just wanted to test her strength, but he couldn't do that. He glabced at her body, lying on the cold floor, and understood.

He did this to her.

This was all his fault.

The words that Lumine said kept repeating in his head, echoing and resounding, practically taunting him. Just as he was caught in a trance, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

Kaeya stabbed him through his armor.

Childe, his Foul Legacy transformation fading, then collapsed on the ground, returning back to normal.

Paimon and Kaeya confronted Childe, who expected Lumine to be the one to get upset with him instead of the Calvary Knight. The Fatui Harbinger looked at Lumine, who was being healed by both Diona and Barbara. He felt like saying sorry, but the angry looks from everyone told him one thing, and one thing only.

"You're a liar. You never could've been saved in the first place."

"Monsters can never be saved."

Childe, feeling he had nothing left, lifelessly continued forth with the plan that he had formulated weeks before he had joined Lumine. He was still waiting for her to wake up and hug him, beg him not to, or at least just try and stop him. He wanted someone to tell him that he could change.

But no one did.

With a heavy heart and a false smile on his face, he summoned Osial and escaped from the Golden House. He felt no reason to stay there...

He was now a lost cause.

Kaeya, still angered by Childe, wanted to chase after him, but a weary Lumine told him to worry about Liyue instead. Kaeya protested, saying they should nip the issue in the bud, but Barbara agreed.

Not only that, but she knew that Childe wanted them to stop Osial. She could tell... she saw it in the saddened look on his face.

Departure

The group, after fully healing, ventured to the Golden Chamber and fought against Osial alongside the adepti and the Qixing. They succeeded, naturally, with the Golden Chamber sadly sacrificed. The Qixing became the ruling power of Liyue, with the Adepti stepping down.

In the end, however, the mystery of the Gnosis and it's whereabouts still remained. Thus, the team ventured to the Northland Bank.

It was there that they saw Zhongli, Signora, and Childe.

Childe saw Lumine and was about to congratulate her, but Kaeya stood in the way, and Signora gave Childe a dirty look. He realized that, truly, what was done couldn't be undone. He had to continue lying through his teeth, just as he always did.

Childe made a false apology, saying that he truly was just a pawn and just doing his job. But, truth was that he meant to say that he didn't want to do it, and that he wanted Lumine to scold him and steal him away from the Fatui. Even then, though, Lumine didn't look him in the eye and fell silent.

The answers to the entire "Rex Lapis murder mystery" were solved, and Signora gained the Geo Archon's Gnosis. With that out of the way, Signora commanded Childe to head back to Snezhnaya with her. Reluctantly, he followed.

But, just before he could leave, he waited at the door and for Signora to keep walking just out of hearing distance. When she did, Childe turned around and looked Lumine in the eye. He gave a sad smile, and said one last sentence to her.

"...Lumine... I... really hope you didn't mean what you said back there..."

Lumine, taken aback, had no words to say. He responded to what she said back at the Golden House... did that mean that he...?

Before she could try and ask, Childe left, walking out of her sight, never looking back.

From then on, Childe and Lumine weren't reunited. All that remained with the both of them was the memories of the time they spent together before the fateful battle that tore them apart.

...that is, until Childe's Story Mission.
