2. when was the last time you cried? Hard to say? I guess that depends on what you count as crying? I'm sure I've made myself tear up over some fictional scenerio some time in the last week. As far as a real cry goes, probably last year when my grandpa passed.

7. eye color? Greyish-Green

8. scary movies or happy endings? Happy Endings or Bad Scary movies. I don't really get scared by horror films, so if I'm gonna watch one I want it to be kinda fun and campy.

Woo! This was a LOT holy shit. Hope you know more about me!

BINGOO LES GOOOOOO

I have actually never played bingo before ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thank you @riveriafalll for the tag!

Blank BINGO Card for anyone who wants to join in:

And now mine:

The Flower Spirit Who Became The Guardian Of The Dead

GO READ THE COMIC >>>>:(((

It’s about a flower spirit who meets an abused child and despite being invisible to them tries to make them happy by giving them nice dreams. The flower spirit is bound to the flower that keeps them alive and can’t follow the child home to at least try and keep them safe. But one day the child doesn’t return to their usual place and after many days of waiting the flower spirit brakes the bond to their flower to go and search for the child.

Mirrors Of Sands

Was supposed to be a webcomic but my adhd brain decided a video game would be less work

_(:3 」∠)_

It isn’t if anyone needed that clarification

The MC Arthur is a knight who fights demons known as “mirages”. He’s the heir to the Dalrway dukedom but his older twin brother Baine makes the noble life anything but peaceful by being a complete and utter menace. One day Arthur wakes up as his 5 year old self, seemingly having travelled back in time. He slowly realises that many things were much different than how he remembers them. Maybe his brother was not at all as awful as he thought he was and maybe the great hero, their father Duke Dalrway, was never a hero to begin with.

No Title Yet

This one’s gonna be a VN. It’s about a god who is part of a group of gods who invade and conquer worlds created by others. She was mostly manipulated into partaking in these things but she’s not exactly innocent either. In the story she has to decide if she wants to “exercise her rights as a god” and finally be respected by the others by taking a lead instead of always just doing what she’s told or if she wants to “fulfill her duties as a god” and take responsibility for everything she has done. Parallel to this, the story is also about one of the creatures that god has created who was made to serve her and the others as a knight/ attendant. He’s faced with the choice to “follow his programming” and keep serving the gods or rebel and do what he believes is right. Depending on the combo of choices the player makes there’s four different endings. (Three of which are fucked up as hell. )

Excerpt from The Blood Cleaners, Chapter 2

“Mama, I have something to tell you.” Ellen’s weary eyes looked at Justin.  “Now’s the time,” he said.  “For what?” “When the assessments come back, if they say I qualify, I’m going to apply to the blood cleaners.” Ellen slammed her palm to the table. “This again!!” “I’ve made up my mind.” “Justin we can get by just fine without you throwing your life away!” “I’m not throwing my life away! When I did the physical, I was better than everyone else. Seriously, Steve was in a fetal position crying. I can do this.” “There’s a reason why most blood cleaners began as factory workers or quarry workers. Already know they are strong enough. Already willing to die.” “It’s not like our work is all that safe.”  “Justin we are fine as we are!” “Fine until the next tunnel fire!” “DON’T YOU DARE SAY THAT!” Ellen stepped away from the table and sat on the chair, the day weighing on her. Justin stood in front of her. He frowned and lowered his head.  “Mama, I’m sorry but I want to do this for us. I think Deirdre would have wanted it, too.” “Justin.” Tears flowed down Ellen’s face. “I’ve done enough to endanger you…” “Don’t talk like that Mama! It’s not your fault what happened to Deirdre!” “But the least I can do is keep you safe. What we have is us. Our family. I wouldn’t trade the finest room in the Steel for you. Same with Miriam.” Ellen stood up. She stepped up to the shelf on the wall - the one with the five urns. The urn for Justin’s mother. The urn for Justin’s father. The urn for Ellen’s husband. The urn for Ellen’s boy who died at two years old. The urn for Deirdre. Deirdre’s was empty because her remains couldn’t be found. They filled the urn with an empty ink pen, her favorite one and testament of her love for writing. Justin knew that he had to understand Ellen’s point of view. All that she lost. She couldn’t lose more. She loved him. He loved her. Both of them were doing what they thought was best out of love.  “Mama,” he said softly. “If you care for me, you know that I can’t live this life anymore.” “I know,” she said with a sob. “But being a blood cleaner isn’t the answer. The aptitude should show you fit in well with other jobs. You have potential, Justin.” “None of them will be the same.” Ellen breathed in deeply. “When I saw your real mother die before me in the hospital with the rashes covering her, I silently promised to care for you to keep her alive in you.” Justin knelt in front of her. “Mama, I love you. I wouldn’t do this to hurt you. I feel that doing this would have made my real mama proud. Would have made Deirdre proud, too. I know you want what’s best for me. If you do, you’ll respect this.” Ellen slowly stood up. “It’s not like I can do anything about it. I can’t stop you Justin. You can’t make me happy about this. I just hope you think about this.” “I know. You’re not going to lose me, Mama. I’ve made up my mind. This will be for the better for us.”

serendipity. (iii)

─── chapter 3 ! ~  i’m just doing my job! (does it really include being this bossy?)

summary; when you, a waitress at the local coffee shop, are paired up with the new recruit scaramouche, you’re pretty sure both of you are going to get fired within a week. he’s just quit being a social media influencer and after being forced to work here to make ends meet, he’s ready to let everyone there know how much he hates it. the worst part? you can’t shake the feeling that you know him from somewhere. but as he slowly warms up to you, scaramouche realises that having a fresh start isn’t that bad after all, and perhaps the two of you meeting like this was pure serendipity.

For context this is the morning after Clarence almost bleeds out on Sunny's doorstep in the middle of the night. This is from Sunny's POV:

“I am in your debt.” Clarence says finally.

I nod in an awkward don’t worry about it, I got you bro manner. I’m just embarrassed that he had to see my messy first aid work. “Are you… feeling okay?”

“I’ve seen worse.”

“That’s good. I mean, not good that you’ve seen worse, of course, but good that you’re not going to die. Not that I ever thought you were going to die, but you did look pretty awful. Not awful as in ugly of course, you’re gorgeous--wait no I mean… I’m just glad you’re okay.” I clamp my mouth shut to conclude that awful speech. Clarence is staring at me in utter confusion.

I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH ALL THAT I AM (you'll be okay, i promise)

warnings – none. characters – zhongli, xiao, ayato, kazuha, childe, diluc x gn!reader. genre – romantic angst. a/n – after you pass on :,) !! | please reblog!! it rly helps a starter blog like me ><

[zhongli. | 钟离]

death is normal to zhongli — he has witnessed eons of the life cycle, mortals screaming at the clutch of the reaper; but he had never expected his own lover to fall victim to the plays of the cycle. being a deity meant that you were blessed with strength and otherwordly powers, but you were never susceptible to eternal rest. he was crushed, of course: he couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat — it felt almost as if your life force had powered him in the past. he simply felt like a shell of himself, tiny grave nods and smiles to those who expressed their sympathy for his loss.

[xiao. | 魈]

for the first few nights after your passing, xiao was constantly haunted by your screams of pain. those final screams, raw and ragged, sobbing to celestia to take you away from this mortal life all while assuring xiao that you loved him, even after death. he couldn’t do anything except stare blankly at your tired face, not quite registering the scene in front of him. he could feel some sort of wetness staining his face, which felt strange because simply, yakshas do not cry.

[k. ayato. | 神里綾人]

ayato buried himself in his work shortly after your passing. he couldn’t get your pained face out of his grief-stricken mind — you left a tear in his heart, an ache that refused to leave him. he chose to surround himself with the problems of the yashiro commission instead, signing paper after paper and attending diplomatic meetings with an automated smile plastered onto his face. it was only one late night, a long night after a long day, that it was only after his tears blotched the ink he wrote that he even registered that he was crying.

[k. kazuha | 楓原万葉]

he should have been used to it by now, kazuha thinks — at this point, his life had been struck with so much loss and pain that death was a concept he was all too familiar with. the pain had never truly set in until the first month after you were gone, when he had set the bundle of flowers he plucked outside down by your grave. “here lies (y/n) (l/n),” he read, the words never leaving his mind. it was just one more death in his life. one more hole left to fill. one more person to grieve. it would be fine, wouldn’t it? kazuha thought. but no, it wasn’t, and it never truly will be.

[childe.]

the tsaritsa noticed how he hestitated with his blade, how his movements were slower, how he seemed pained to spar with people — you used to be his sparring partner until your passing. it hurt him to look at your favourite flowers, to look at the freckles on his face that you tenderly touched at night, the little strand of hair that always turned upwards that you tried to smoothen down. it hurt him, to watch your family slowly carry away the last of your belongings and out of the goodwill of his heart he had refused any of them, wanting to let your family treasure it all. he would remain with the thoughts of th ghost of you… and nothing else.

[diluc.]

diluc had not remembered this kind of pain for a long time — the same pain he felt when his beloved father had been killed. it hurt, of course. he had lost so many people over the course of his life — his father, mother, hell, he would consider that he even lost kaeya — he didn’t want to lose you too. but fate decided otherwise, because this man spent the rest of his days mourning. he winced at the overly-sympathetic looks people sent his way, none of them knew you the way he did, so why did they all act like your death affected them so much? it was only him who was hurt by your passing, and not them — as terrible as it sounded.

Lexi knows everything about everyone apparently

Tierney gets his letter!

Breath - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

The forest was dense and vast—she could theoretically be anywhere. Clues. Maybe there would be a sign of the direction she went. I looked down to see if there were any imprints where she may have stepped. Most of the ground appeared untouched, but my eyes rested on a patch of flattened red ferns a few yards away. I ran toward them, then kept looking at the forest floor. The colorful leaves covering the ground appeared crunched, like someone had staggered through them shortly before I arrived. I followed the path they appeared to make. “Ash!” I called, hoping I was closer. Still, there was nothing. I stopped at a patch of purple flowers. There were clumps of them similar scattered here and there, but these were as flattened as the ferns. I knelt down beside them. A black object settled beneath the flowers caught my eye, and I picked it up. I gasped—one of Ash’s rings. “Ash!” I called again as I stood. “ASH!” She had to be close. I looked back down at the crushed blossoms. It was like she’d collapsed in them. My breath caught in my chest. “ASH!” My breathing picked up. “ASH!” What if she didn’t hear me? If she was unconscious somewhere…. I tried calling her name again, but it was caught in my throat by a sudden sob. My hand enclosed the ring until it dug into my fingers. My legs felt weak and I found myself kneeling on the forest floor as tears streamed down my cheeks. I hit my thigh with my fist that enclosed the ring, scolding myself and my stupid anxiety for making me lose my focus after one setback. “She wasn’t here,” I told myself, pulling on my braids. “That means she had to stand up and walk away to somewhere else.” I closed my eyes, taking a shaky breath, and almost willed Ash to speak up—let me know where she was. “Lexi!”

Wild - from The Secret Portal Part Two (Lexi POV)

Ash and Gwen came from band and arrived together every day, and it didn’t seem too different. Ash sat beside me as usual, and Gwen in front of me. We usually talked for the whole thirty minutes about various things: class, Gwen’s relationship with Akash, or whatever had happened during the weekend in Alium. But today, several minutes in, we hadn’t really said a word to each other. I didn’t have to be a telepath to figure out why. Beside me, Ash had her eyes glued to her food. The silence was driving me insane. My knee bounced in anticipation. “So how’s band going?” I blurted out. “It’s fine,” Ash said. “We’re almost ready for our winter concert,” Gwen said, pulling me out of my misery. “Oh! That’s Thursday, right?” “Next Thursday,” Gwen clarified. “Our orchestra concert is next Friday,” I added on. “Maddie’s choir concert is next Saturday, the twenty-first. So we’ll show up in Alium that Sunday morning. That weekend is going to be wild. Jazlyn and Wade both have a football game on Friday, and Ewan and Hye-Jin have concerts Saturday. I think Parker may be going to Wade’s game and Ewan and Jazlyn to each other’s activities. And Robbie has a winter play next week Thursday through Saturday. So next weekend will be vacant until Sunday.” “How do you know what everyone’s doing?” Ash asked, finally saying something and looking up from her largely untouched food. I blinked. “I dunno. I just remembered everyone talking about it.” “What else do you know, their birthdays?” “Yeah,” I said.

I can tell I haven't revised this yet. Lexi would be tugging her hair, not bouncing her knee. And she wouldn't say Ash's eyes are glued to her food - just focused on them. Her voice is just slightly off.

Fall - from School of the Legends Year One

Tierney unfolded it and began to read aloud, “Prince Tierney Wayne, We are pleased to congratulate you on your qualification for Madame Goossens’ School for the Gifted, Majicked, and Cursed in the United States of America.” “What?” his father asked. A pattering of feet from above indicated all of Tierney’s siblings racing down the stairs. “Keep reading!” “This international school is for teens with unusual abilities, and we wish to provide an environment that is better suited for you, as well as teaching you control and opening greater opportunities for your future.” “What does that mean?” Damari asked as everyone was now in the Hall. Tierney shrugged and just continued. “All of your credits will be transferred, and we hope to hear back from you soon with an acceptance letter. There is more information on the back of the letter. We hope to see you around our campus.” “Well, what’s the information on the back of the letter?” his father demanded. Tierney, confused as ever, flipped the paper over. “Um, so this school is for the, uh, gifted, majicked, and cursed.” “That was established in the school’s name,” said the king. “I apparently fall into the ‘gifted’ category.” “Gifted!” the king boomed, his voice echoing off the majestic walls. “That letter claims you--my son!--to be one of those mutants?” “You’re a gifted!” Ritchie said, almost too excited. With a glare from their father, he put on a more neutral demeanor. “So, does it say what your gift is?” Tierney scanned the paper. “Uh, ‘qualification: electric-based powers.’” “Electric?” Damari repeated. “Well that explains the constant shock,” said Ritchie. “And the thunderstorm fetish.” “Jarred!” their mother scolded. “What?”

Last song I listened to : Heart made of Stone by The Tech Thieves

Last thing I watched : I binged all the Game Changer episodes I missed. Dropout is worth the money for the holy trinity of Dimension 20, Game Changer, and Um Actually. (very important people is also v funny but can get really awkward, so if dry humor isn't your thing you might not like it.)

Last Book I read : The Midnight Library. It earned a permanent spot on my shelf.

Things I'm currently obsessed with : Astarion and Gale from bg3 (i'm basic okayyy), my OC's, and embroidery.

Spicy/Savory/Sweet : can I say all three? I'm choosing all three, I like options lol.

Relationship Status : single
