Ah I forgot I modeled Cree after my cat

[quitealotofsodapop]

[Someone jokes that Macaque has developed a mega beer belly and Mac just starts crying cus of hormones. Someone gets punched.]

Was it one of the other SWKs XD ? Either them or Hunstman.

But how would the others (fam and dimensional) react to discovering this particular baby is the reincarnation of the demon that was really close to destroying the world and remaking it in her image? Like, the double take has to be legendary.

Oh it was def Huntsman who made the "beer belly" comment. He has no filter. SWK was the one who punched him, cus of shared hormones with Mac. Then the other spiders smack Huntsy on the back of the head for good measure. Sandy has to physically lift his mans out of there before they try returning him to Diyu with the receipt. Huntsman apologized via hand-woven silk baby blankets.

Whilst the parents knew from the beginning that LBD has reincarnated into their daughter (they were there obs), most of the fam hear about "Yuebei = Reincarnated LBD" from gossip or hearsay. Also the Mayor equally has no filter - he walks straight up to Macaque with an armful of baby shower gifts and waves at his stomach like; "Hello, my lady! Enjoying your new accommodations?". The friends and fam present are like "Lol what?" and SWK and Mac just decide to spill the beans.

The adults are initally freaked out ("So are we talking... fresh slate? Or is she gonna come out with the creepy whispering and bone mechs?"), but once it becomes clear that Yuebei won't have the memories or mind of her previous incarnation, the adults all sigh and just chalk it up to weird reincarnation nonsense. Pigsy expresses how he feels sorry for the kid, as he too reincarnated from a jerk (Zhu Bajie).

The kids freak out a little more. You know already how badly MK and Bai He takes the situation. Nezha ends up being the voice of reason; pointing out tha he himself is a demonic reincarnation and he can't remember squat about who his soul used to inhabit. It takes the kids a lot longer to be cool with the "Baby sister might be the Devil" situation.

As for the Wukongverse? It's a mixed bag. Under read more for spoilers

LMK Shadowpeach: *explaining what happened when they went to Diyu to sort out unrelated undead stuff* LMK!Mac: "So yeah, our unborn daughter is the reincarnation of the Bone Demon that tried to destroy all of the Mortal Realm and remake it in her image." The rest of the SWKs and LEMs: O_O? x_O? HeroIsBack!SWK: "How did that happen??? I thought reincarnation was completely random." LMK!SWK, eating peach chips: "We were planning on more kids. What remained of LBD's soul was sorta hanging around the bridge in Diyu. The gods laughed. Simple really." NewGods!SWK: "And here I thought gods getting reborn as mortals was irony." Reborn!SWK: "I pray that your enemy will be born knowing that they will be loved in this lifetime." LMK!Mac, tearing up: "Aww... thats actually really sweet of you to say-" 2000sCartoon!SWK, interupting: "Because if they turn out to be evil, we wont hesistate to bury them!" :3 LMK!Shadowpeach: *hormonal crying. The other monkeys jump to comfort them* HeroIsBack!LEM, comforting his LMK counterpart: "Annnd you ruined the moment Ganzhe." 2000sCartoon!SWK: "But it's true! We all thought it!" Netflix!SWK: "You don't say it to the parents!" Netflix!LEM: "I think it'd be hilarious if the kid turned out like her old self. Like the 10 Kings saying She's your problem now." NewGods!LEM: "Don't be so sure about that. We don't know what the Bone Demon was like as a kid. Could have been stuff she saw as an adult that messed her up. Either way it's gonna be hard for her to be a villain when she can't even stay awake for more that two hours." Smash SWK & LEM: *weren't even paying attention, they blanked out after the pregnancy talk started* "Wait... whats this about a ghost baby?" "I think one of their kids is like... a shiny pokemon or something" Meihouwang SWK & LEM: *were paying attention, but are very confused* "???"

Its all very frustrating for LMK Shadowpeach.

Some Thoughts!

Man, I haven’t done a post like this in a while! But I figured I might as well before I work on one of my numerous WIPs XD

—So, I’ve been back on a Zula Patrol kick like you wouldn’t believe. Though that should be obvious with all the memes I’ve been making, haha! I promise this won’t become a Zula Patrol only blog, haha!

—I’ll be working on building my graphic design/editing skills so I can properly redesign my blogs ^^ You can expect a few graphics throughout the month! :)

—Chapter 4 of The Zula Patrol: Dreamscape Crusade Remastered is also coming along pretty nicely. I’ve been enjoying adding the layers of mystery and horror to the world that Multo ends up in. Oh, and a couple of new characters are making their appearance, too. And that’s all I’m going to say about the subject!

—I’ve also been steadily working on Love Language for the last couple of months. I thought FOR SURE that I’d be posting its first chapter by the end of the month, but life happened—not to mention that I keep coming up with MORE headcanons for Multo and Zeeter that I just have to write down and put in the story. XD Also, the story’s grown to the point where I had to break it up into FIVE chapters, now, with the fifth being the actual conclusion. This story’s been so fun to work on, and I hope you’ll all enjoy it when I finally publish it.

—That being said, I did have a few insecurities regarding the writing of Love Language. I wondered if anybody would actually read this story since 1. ZP isn’t a very well-known cartoon, and 2. Even for rarepair standards, Multo/Zeeter sure seems like it came out of left field. And for about a few weeks, I did leave it alone, out of worry that nobody would read it. But then I came across posts in my feed that said that it’s important to write the stories that you’d like to read, even if they don’t get any readership, because telling your story is what matters. I’ve dealt with this a lot since writing all of my stories, namely my Zula Patrol series. And while I struggle with it occasionally, I’m not going to let that whole “nobody will probably read this” mentality stop me from writing about these goofy aliens, and my favorite opposites-attract ship, of which I’m the sole captain.

—While I’ve been working on Blazin’ Trails content off and on, I’m having a deuce of a time trying to work on the final chapter of the original BT. I’ll literally sit down and open the document, looking for something to leap out at me and inspire me to work…but nothing’s working. And I really want to get things started with Blazin’ Trails Redux as well…*sigh*

—As for Super Why stuff, I’m looking forward to seeing the new shorts that are debuting next month! I got to see the first short, and it’s adorable. And I also can’t wait to see more of Power Paige in action! I just really hope that Woofster and Alpha Pig aren’t written out of the show :(

—Speaking of PBS Kids stuff…I kinda sorta got back into both WordGirl and Arthur. GOD, I feel old! And now, I’m half-tempted to have WG guest star in SRBA like Santiago will. The SRBA ‘verse? More like Into the Reader-verse, LOL XD

—Sodor Magic Crusaders MAY be getting an update in the near future. I thought about working on it for the first time in months, and I remembered that I only have a few episodes left until I can get to write the second season.

—Slowly but surely getting back into Honkai Impact 3rd. I still haven’t gotten a chance to watch the part 2 trailer, but it looks like it’s gonna be interesting!

—One thing’s for sure. Power Paige will definitely appear in the SRBA ‘verse. I just have to figure out what her backstory would be as well as her powers and what kind of fighting style she’d have. I know for sure it won’t be a sword—we already have four sword fighters in SRBA thus far (Super Why, Presto, Muse and Jackson).

—In Super Why news, I HAVE been working on the fifth chapter bit by bit, and I’d like to say that it’s about 65% finished. I don’t think it’ll be quite as long as the last update, but I don’t want to speak too soon ^^;

—I haven’t drawn anime in ages, not since I first started uploading on DeviantArt. And I admit, the pic that I’m going to post of Usagi isn’t the best..but you know what? Screw it! The only way I can improve is to practice, even if it’s wonky or incorrect! ^^

Accidental Kiss (ft The Smiling Critters, DeerDelight,Beetrice SunnyBee,Huggy Wuggy & Kissy Missy

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

KickinChicken and Hoppy Hopscotch were playing soccer and Huggy Wuggy stood there near the fields as he was watching CatNap and Kissy Missy showing "affection" towards each other.

CatNap: o-okay I think that's enough now... If he keeps looking at me like that,I feel like my head is gonna explode... 😰

Huggy Wuggy just stood there with a death stare and his arms crossed.

Kissy Missy: *whispers* compliment me.

Catnap: uh okay. I really like your face because it's not complicated

Kissy Missy: *groans softly while whispering* ugh he's not doing anything...! *gets an idea* kiss me!

Catnap: *stunned*

Kissy Missy: oh come on, I'm not that bad.

CatNap: look I always thought the first girl I kiss will be Beetrice. *daydreams* we'll be at the beach at sunset,some fireflies will make a love heart around us,and they'll be sorta violin involved.~ I didn't think it'll be with a chick I didn't care about, just to make another dude jealous! *Kissy Missy gave him a soft glare with her arms crossed*CatNap might be a lot of things,but he is not a cheap corruptible bimbo!

KickinChicken accidentally kicked the soccer call to hard which hits the back of CatNap's head making him kiss Kissy Missy's cheek leaving Huggy Wuggy stunned; DogDay,Picky Piggy and DeerDelight watched in a panic.

Beetrice SunnyBee: *comes out of her hive like house*

DogDay: uh look a diversion!

Beetrice SunnyBee: 🤨

Picky Piggy: *splashes her face with her milkshake*

Beetrice SunnyBee: *sighs of annoyance and goes back in her house to wash up*

CatNap: *silently cries of embarrassment*

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

LoL XD! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Can you guess the reference?

DeerDelight belongs to @jade-green-butterfly

Smiling Critters/Poppy Playtime/Kissy Missy/ Huggy Wuggy belongs to Mob Entertainment

Beetrice SunnyBee belongs to me

idk why i cant stop thinking about stripper yata. Like, i had a silly hc about how yata got that pole stick thing in s2 where him and chitose went to a club to question some of the girls there and yata jokingly swung on one of the poles and broke it. he has no way to pay for it so the girls suggest he dances that night to make up for it, he reluctantly agrees but ends up actually having fun, so the girls let him of the hook.

i know it isn't the best hc, but i cant stop thinking about it, i guess this is what saru feels like lol

No no I sorta like this XD Imagine this even at some point pre-S1, Yata keeps breaking bats and Chitose jokes that he knows where to find an unbreakable pole. Yata’s giving him this disgusted look like is this a sex joke and Chitose sighs all oh you innocent child, come with me and I’ll show you. Of course this all turns out to be an excuse for Chitose to go to a strip club, poor virginal Yata is freaking out while Chitose assures him that these poles are really sturdy, Chitose’s familiar with a lot of the girls working there (naturally) so he figures they can ask a couple questions. As Chitose’s getting chatty with the girls Yata looks at one of the stripper poles like that doesn’t look so impressive, he decides just for a joke to swing on it…and promptly breaks it in half. Suddenly the club owner shows up and Chitose has made a hasty retreat while Yata stands there with the broken pole in his hands all oh shit.

The pole of course turns out to be pretty expensive and Yata’s freaking out because he can’t pay (and also the owner is a buxom babe and it’s shorting out his brain). One of the girls mentions that Yata’s flip looked pretty good though before he broke the pole, he’d probably be good at this if he just used a little less strength. The other girls agree and the owner looks thoughtful, all while Yata is staring blankly at them. Ten minutes later he’s hustled out on stage wearing only his hat and a pair of booty shorts and told to go for it. Yata absolutely has total stage fright but he grabs the pole and thinks this can’t be too hard right, think of it like balancing on a skateboard. He ends up actually having fun, doing all these tricks and everyone’s cheering and when he finishes and goes backstage with his shorts full of money Yata’s kinda changed his whole view of strippers, like he didn’t think this would be so cool. Everyone’s so impressed with how good he was that they let him off the hook for the pole but maybe the owner convinces him to at least work part time, like a couple times a week Yata shows up and does some pole dancing and he’s actually very popular among the clientele he just absolutely refuses to tell anyone he knows that he’s getting a bunch of money via a side gig at the strip club.

Stolen Hearts, Chapter 9: Text

Sawatari lay in his bed later that night, texting Yuya with a warm smile. Yuya still hadn’t told his parents about them, but the blonde didn’t mind. He was perfectly fine with keeping their relationship secret, a delicious secret all for them, for as long as Yuya wanted. Although he would love to broadcast the news of Yuya being all his on every social media account he had, Yuya’s comfort and happiness was more important to him than boasting about his pretty little boyfriend.

As Sawatari and Yuya texted, the blonde had almost forgotten about his dreams. But one little text from Yuya brought them all back to the front of his mind.

Yuya: So, I was wondering about something you said earlier. You said after the last fifteen, I think you said? nights you had to find out if I was attracted to boys. What’s been going on those nights?

Sawatari: Uhm… I might have maybe kinda sorta had some dreams about you every night?

Yuya: Awww! That’s so sweet! I’ve had dreams about you too! Like a few nights ago, I had a dream that you and me were at the arcade playing games together and having fun!

Sawatari: Well, your dreams sound cute. Mine are more… NSFW…

Yuya didn’t respond for a few moments, and Sawatari thought he might have screwed up big time. He was about to send a frantic apology text, when Yuya suddenly started typing again.

Yuya: Sorry, I had to stop Yugo from going to his D-Wheel. He was reading over my shoulder :( I’m sitting on his back now lol

Sawatari: So… You’re not weirded out by my dreams being not-so-innocent?

Yuya: Nope! I don’t mind at all! <3

Yuya: Oh, uhm, if Yuri offers you some flowers, DON’T accept them. There will DEFINITELY be a dangerous plant among them. Seriously, Yuto’s the only one who isn’t plotting to get you for your dreams… I think…

Sawatari: Good to know

Yuya: Hold on, let me try to calm them down

Sawatari waited patiently, focusing on the heart that Yuya had sent when he said he didn’t mind the not-so-innocent dreams. It made his own heart flutter in his chest. After what must have been at least fifteen minutes, Yuya finally sent another text.

Yuya: I think I got through to them. Told them it wasn’t your fault that you were having those dreams, and pointed out that it’s impossible for you to control what you dream about unless you’re able to do lucid dreaming, and even then it’s not 100% guaranteed that you can really control whether or not your dreams are lucid anyway

Sawatari: Oh, believe me, if I could control my dreams they’d be all about sweet stuff about you, not dirty dreams. I wanna have dreams about going on picnics with you, and watching the sunset together and dueling and dancing, not dreams about you walking into my bedroom wearing nothing but a towel and teasing me until I wake up with a problem every night!

Yuya: O////////O

Yuya: NGL, I’ve had one or two dreams like that…

Sawatari: >////////<

Yuya: Yugo just forbade me from ever going to your house alone for a sleepover lol

Sawatari: XD

Sawatari: While I would love for you to spend the night at my place sometime, I would NEVER do something like that to you without your consent

Sawatari: But, you know, if you DID want to do something like that…

Yuya: lol as much as I’m enjoying talking to you I think I should go before Yugo wakes up the whole neighborhood with his screeching. I’m just glad Mom and Dad are out of the house atm

Sawatari: lol, alright, talk to you tomorrow?

Yuya: Definitely!

Sawatari: Love you, Yuya! <3

Yuya: Love you too! <3

Sawatari sighed happily and lay his head on his pillow. He was so happy that he felt like he was floating on air. Yuya really was the perfect boyfriend for him.

Thoughts on Owl House season 2 (bc they finally made it available in my country):

- Hootie x Lilith????????????? What? How could this happen? And why is it sorta adorable?

- Eda's non-binary love interest is mwah mwah ❤️ so perfect. I love them.

- Belos is a dilf???? Okay.

- lol Hunter is tumblr shaped

- why is Principal Bump ALSO a dilf??????? (Without his palisman. Like dang, that hair is fabulous.)

- ...uhm??? Belos knew the whole time that Luz has the key to the human realm. He got the damn shards of the door from her. And he didn't do jack shit to seek out Luz and Eda. Clearly he doesn't care about the key. Why does Hunter's threat that they'd come after them even work???? But then again, Amity is not all-knowing and Luz maybe didn’t fill her in on this super specific detail

- okay. Correction, Belos did NOT know about the key… I forgot that Luz was sneaky about it when handing over the portal door. (Still, if I were Belos and the portal door was broken, I would grill Eda until she tells me more about it?? Like? She was powerless, and yet they ignore her until she becomes powerful and a problem again)

(- This is quickly turning into a live react where I write my thoughts down while watching whoops…)

- BELOS LEFT BEHIND A BROTHER WHO IS IN THE HUMAN REALM AND OBSESSED WITH WITCHES??? Eh... I mean, I assume. (I mean, come on, it's pretty obvious that Belos = that human dude from the past, and those statues… look familiar)

- or maybe it's just a descendant...? I mean, I can explain Belos living longer due to magic, but not a regular human. Or maybe I just assume it's been a long time ago because of of the clothes

- Luz doppelganger is cute as fuck (and has Amethyst's voice actor ahhh. If I had a nickel for every time this person played a person who desperately wants a place where they belong, I'd have two nickels...)

- the cafe worker misremembering Eda's name 🤣

- okay, it's not Belos' brother (that guy's probably dead) but a self proclaimed youtube witch hunter. Kay.

- lol Lilith's mentor was fem!Indiana Jones, nice

- Belos: "I look forward to meeting you again, Luz the human." Luz: "...but we already met?" Me: why are they saying that so weirdly? (One episode later, Luz is travelling into the past to meet "Philip") Me: Ah. Okay, now it makes sense. (Also lol, Belos is such a funny guy for foreshadowing that xD)

- I love that Lilith quickly catches on to Philip's behaviour and way of talking being veeeeeeery familiar. Can‘t trick her twice with flattery. …well, obviously you can, but you know what I mean!

- "I needed a sacrifice." My man, you should not sound so sexy while being a stone cold treacherous asshole. Is backstabbing how he survived this whole time? Wow.

- Lilith punched that sucker so hard she broke his nose. good for her ❤️

- also he put magic sigils on his body? Really? That's how he ruined his body? What a loser

(- okay, to be fair, he probably didn‘t have one million types of media, movies, books, etc. warning him from meddling with his body and magic during his era in the human world……………but still. Extremely stupid!)

- and so the mirror was a way to meet the Collector after all! ...why did they trust a single word that lying snake said? xD they already KNOW he's a lying liar. *sigh* They really are too gullible. Good guy disease.

- it also makes a lot of sense why Belos never really hurt Luz. Needed to wait until Luz gets into the past, and since he has no way of knowing when that happens……

- *reaches episode 13*

Darius: "You're the emperor's... nephew (derogatory)."

Nephew, nephew, nephew.... (This is the dramatic echo happening in my head at this moment, as I remember that Belos has been calling him that ALL THE TIME, but I merely assumed he adopted a witch kid, just like Eda adopted a human kid.)

OMG HE'S HIS ACTUAL FUCKING NEPHEW, HUNTER IS BELOS'/PHILIP'S BROTHER'S SON, (so Belos' brother had a kid with a witch, haha, take this, witch hater), AHHHH AND HIS BROTHER IS NOT JUST DEAD BUT DEAD DEAD. Like he died in THIS realm, instead of being left behind in the human realm. (My prior theory was that there was one brother in each realm, desperately trying to reunite again. *waves at the whole “Day of Unity” thing* I thought that was to fuse the two realms together, like in the end of svtfoe. If it was clear before this that the brother also came into the demon realm, leave me alone, there’s too much info to soak in for me to remember it all! xD …also, I like my old theory. Would still make a good AU.)

This is some crazy shit and I'm mad it took me this long to get it. The hair should have already tipped me off.

- On a completely different note, the Belos-Hunter relationship is smelling delicious. My senses for toxic family dynamics are tingling and I've been intrigued ever since their first interactions. There’s so much trauma to unpack here, I just know it.

- 1. Darius was the student of Hunter's "precedessor". "He" was one of the strongest witches he'd ever known. Strong implication that it's Hunter's dad? Also, was his dad able to do magic without glyphs? Or a trickster like Belos? 2. I'm only now realising that Darius has the same voice actor as Horde Prime. Nice! xD (it was the last line of that whole scene that tipped me off, there was something very “primey” about it)

- "Teens are probably into the same things as me. Like authority! And rules!” The funniest quote of the entire show 🤣 I'm dead laughing

- the casual banter between the emperor's coven members is always so fun. Also, you should really listen to Steve, Hunter. (It's funny how even Darius is disappointed in him)

- I officially like Darius now. (What's his deal?? At his first introduction, he seemed to follow Belos obediently. But I guess he has his cool sides)

- heh. Knew there was something between Alador and Darius.

- Eda & Bump are an iconic duo xD

- so Hunter is a clone. Huh. (Knew it was something fucked up) Poor guy. That’s a lot. On top of the already existing trauma from being raised inside the coven. Oh boy.

(Switching from live react to more summary react)

- I don’t have time to dig into the mess that Belos is lol

(- also Kikimora, now that think of it. Giiiiiiiirl, you have issues)

- just wanna note that I like the reoccurring theme of old friendships + romantic relationships being rekindled, but the people having changed so much, and that leading to people being successfully surprised/tricked cause they still cling to the old image they have of them. Happens with Willow & Amity, Eda/Raine, and more. It’s nice.

- we’re doing the whole “Eda sacrifices herself” 2.0 thing from the last finale again (I mean…it is consistent with their characterisation and I want to bawl my eyes out at Eda fully embracing being their mom)

- King is a titan! I’m…not that surprised, but I don’t have to be to appreciate it. I waited for them to dig into his storyline <3 also the twist with the titan trappers was nice. Their connection to the collector however…THAT was surprising. (Also makes it that much more painful that King is the one bargaining with the Collector)

- Collector is creepy & me likey. God mode creator. Basically a writer. The pressure at the finale is real….

- I finished the season, wanted to look how long I’d have to wait till the third one might reach me and then found out the show’s been cancelled and there are only three more special episodes 🙃 and they had to cut storylines……. Agggrhhdhdhdjjdhdhhdggd, Disney, why do you hate creators? This is such a great story and now I’ll probably end up not getting the answers I need.

Like where that portal door and the key even came from

*goes to cry*

[hellishgoat]

I AM SO SAD one of my fave managers is gone she was like ugh she was so so so nice and I loved her a lot ; ;

[sonatanotwo]

😰 (and you can't say Scott), 😦 , 😨

😰  - Anon Beatcha. XD

😨 -  how many roleplay blogs have you had active at once?

Gonna answer this one before the other. XD On Tumblr? 2... and sort of 3. Alan and Virgil... and TOS Virgil. I first took up Virgil on the side to sorta do some more prosey rp that the previous main Virgil-mun didn’t really feel up to, but yeah. Stuff happened. Basically. XDDD I still have my Alan account, but it’s fairly dormant now. lmao And TOS!Virgil is an occasional crack rp thing. It was more active, but the TOS group was short lived. He picks on John occasionally still. XDb

Now… back in the golden era of RP on Livejournal, oh gosh… on my main game I had like.. to the cap of 10… then several on the island rp… and couple others here and there… uh. TOO MANY. Which is why I did scale back progressively. 

And now I’m not journal rping at all right now. Which is very strange. (One these days I might try again… I miss some of my old muses and stuff. DW is a very different rp experience. Multifandom jamjars galore! It’s can be a blast with the right group.)

😦 - what has been your worst roleplay experience?

Man… it’s been a heck of a long time since I first alluded to it. I didn’t think I could talk about it then… but.. man, it’s been 9 months since that post, so… YOLO.

Tumblr RP has been an experience. And this is coming from someone who on lj/dw has seen some draaamaaaaaaa. I guess it’s no surprise it was Tumblr I stumbled into issues and had what was definitely my worst experience. Unfortunately, I don’t think I still can really tell the whole tale in this post today, but I think I can give the basic plot:

Once upon a time I caught someone trying to essentially sockpuppet. Things riled up publicly then they vanished, never to be seen again. Moral of the story? Don’t ever sockpuppet, guys. The End~

Y-yeah… This is a thing that happened. lol ^.^; Really, please, don’t ever try it, okay? You get caught sooner or later. Still want to try? Then, gosh, at least do it RIGHT then. XD Like, really, protip: Don’t im someone on a sub account minutes after you followed them with your personal, okay? XD

So yeah. Remember the worm? He’s still a very, very wise worm. His words apply in a lot of ways… It never hurts at all to be skeptical, especially if something feels off. And often? There’s a lot more to a situation than what’s at face value. …Especially in this place. Oh Tumblr.

❤💙🖤~EggpireYan!BBH x F!Reader~ 🖤💙❤

Guess who's finally back!!! I apologize for not updating :P I'm not going to make stupid excuses for my absence or anything since it doesn't matter and I know none of you want to hear it, but I will say that I did get Covid :P So that's kinda why things didn't go as planned when it came to updating on a Monday Lol. Anyways, enjoy your amazing (sorta cheesy I feel like) Yan!Bad x reader!!!!! (You know who you are person who's been waiting far to long for this ;))

Requested by: A person who needs some love bc I feel like this request has taken me way too long :|

TW: Stalking, yandere themes, obsessive behavior, and kinda fluffy...? idk not a trigger tho I hope lol.

Bad's POV

       For months now he had kept his eyes on you. He had watched your every movement, every action, every word....

       He wasn't stalking you, he was just making sure you were ok! Anything outside of the Egg's grasp was in danger, including you! A stalker would be a creep or even a maniac, and that wasn't him. He was sweet, forgiving, even merciful when it came to the Egg... You were almost just like him. Just, not the Egg part.

       You were so perfect. Every inch of you was just perfection, including your personality and actions. You could be mad at him or mean to him and he would still find you perfect. You were almost like an angel, no, even better then an angel at that. Sure, he was a demon, but that didn't matter. Not to you at least. You seemed to like him, maybe not as much as he loved you, but at least you liked him. That was all that mattered.

       If only you were apart of the Egg's influence. Then he would be able to socialize with you more and to see your pretty face more often without having to hide himself somewhere; like in a bush. You and him where meant to be, that was clear as day. He just needed to be around you more. He wanted you to be comfortable with him. What's a relationship where one side doesn't love the other? Not one he wants to be apart of, or you for that matter.

       Yes, making you apart of the Egg's influence would be ideal. Very ideal. And the best part is, you would never leave his side!

Y/n's POV

       "Where are we going, Bad? I thought you said you'd tell me by now!" You and Bad had been walking down the Prime Path for what felt like hours. He had contacted you earlier through your Communicator and said that he wanted to take you somewhere amazing as a surprise, and that he knew you'd love it.

       He chuckled, "I'm glad you're so curious to know! Don't worry, I'll tell you when we're there." You sighed.

       "Fine, I guess," you responded. As the two of you continued to walk in whatever direction you were through the warm, mid-day, you slowly reached your hand down to touch his. He jumped in surprise and his face was immediately tinted by red.

       "U-uhhh u-ummmm," he stuttered. You giggled.

       "Sorry, I should've asked permission first," you said. Bad shook his head.

       "U-uh, no no no! It's fine! You can h-hold my hand if you w-want." You nodded and wrapped your hand around his.

Bad's POV

       Bad was sweating. Great XD, he didn't know a girl could make him feel this flustered and nervous! You were just holding his hand!

       He felt your hand in his and smiled. This was just too exciting. As he turned his attention back to his course to the Egg and the rest of the Eggpire, he noticed that you two were almost there.

       "Almost there!" he said to you. You smiled.

       "Good," you said, "my legs are really tired." Bad laughed.

       "We've only been walking for twenty minutes, you Muffinhead!" You sighed.

       "It feels like its been hours," you complained.

       "Don't worry, once we get there you can sit down, I promise." You nodded in response as the two of you kept walking. Before he could walk any further with you, a figure appeared on the path ahead of them. Bad instantly recognized the familiar face in the strong sunlight.

       "Skeppy!" he yelled. Skeppy turned around from looking at.... whatever he was looking at, and smiled.

       "Bad!" he said, "It's good to see you."

Y/n's POV

       You looked over at Skeppy as you let go of Bad's hand. Was Skeppy... ok? You didn't remember his eyes ever being red before, and he was wearing a red hoodie instead of his usual light blue one. And his voice.... it didn't sound right either. It sounded very lacy and slick, like he was planning something horrible. Definitely not like the usual happy and harmless Skeppy you used to know, if this was even still him.

       Skeppy looked down at you (given the fact he was about a few feet taller then you). You never thought his eyes could make you this unsettled.

       "Who did you bring along with you, Bad?" he asked, never keeping his eyes off of you. Bad smiled a cheerful smile, like he was extremely proud to show you off to his friend. Was Skeppy even his friend anymore? It seemed like it. Maybe.

       "This is Y/n! Y/n, this is my friend Skeppy! Oh, wait, I forgot you've already met Skeppy before! Right, Y/n?" Now Bad was looking at you. He seemed more normal than Skeppy, but even he too had that weird glint in his eye that made things seem not right. You had never noticed that before. How long has that been there?

       "Huh? Oh, ya, I have," you snapped back into reality and nervously laughed. Why were you this unsettled? You shouldn't be this unsettled next to your close friend and his close friend. If Skeppy was one of Bad's best friends, then that meant he could be your friend too, right? Well at least he could be trustworthy.

       Right?

       Bad gave you a concerned look.        "Is everything ok, Y/n? You seem to be.... nervous?" Bad asked as he looked at you quizzically. You shook your head and put on a fake smile as Skeppy continued to study you.

       "I'm fine, Bad. I'm not nervous!" You turned to look at Skeppy and shook his hand. This took him by surprise and he immediately ripped his hand away from yours and looked at you with a maddened face.

       "Skeppy!" Bad said, upset. "Why did you do that????" Skeppy finally took his gaze away from you and looked at Bad.

       "Sorry, she just took me by surprise that's all," he said simply. Bad shrugged.

       "Whatever."

       "So, where are you two off to, hmm?" Skeppy asked. Bad smiled again and winked at Skeppy. "Oh, I see. Are you sure.... this thing can appease it?" Bad slapped Skeppy in the face.

       "SKEPPY, THAT WAS SO RUDE!!!!!" he yelled. You were surprised at how fast the situation escalated. Skeppy scoffed.

       "Apologies," he said as he rolled his eyes and rubbed the spot where Bad hit him, "do you think Y/n will be able to appease the Egg?" Bad glared at Skeppy as you gasped.

       "W-what the Egg????" you were immediately startled. You didn't want to believe it but it did make sense.

       Bad....working for the Egg. And Skeppy too? It didn't seem possible, two sweet people working for something so evil, but it made sense. It explained why all of the blue on Skeppy had turned red, and some of the red on Bad had turned white. You where going to ask him about that earlier, but it slipped your mind until now.

       Bad shook his head and nervously smiled. "Uh, no no, now, Y/n, it's not what you think uh ha," he nervously laughed. You took two big steps away from the two.

       "Bad, why d-didn't you tell me? And you can't tell me it's a lie, I'm not that stupid!" you said. Bad sighed.

       "Listen, Y/n, the Egg isn't what you think it is. It's nice! It's peaceful and it only wants the best for you and me! Especially you and me." You did not like his tone at all.

       "W-what do you mean by 'especially you and me?'" you asked. Bad calmly placed his hand on your shoulder. You didn't bother to flinch away because you knew he would just touch you again.

       "I asked the Egg if there was a way I could be with you," he started. "It promised me that if I brought you to it and made you apart of its influence, you and I could be together... forever. I-I love you, Y/n. I only want the best for you, I p-promise." You looked at him, completely stunned. You were so surprised, that your body was unresponsive.

       He loved you? You? Of all people?

       It almost seemed to good to be true. After all, you loved him too.

       "R-really?" you asked, barely able to get the words out. He nodded, and you knew by the look in his eyes that he wasn't lying.

       "I promise, you, muffinhead." You chuckled at his common term he used for you and smiled. You didn't really care now about the Egg or getting corrupted by it. It was fine, as long as you were with him. You looked over at Skeppy and saw the boredom across his face, and then at Bad and at the joy on his.

       "Ok, Bad. I'll come with you," you said.~

Ok I hope that was good, idk seems ok on my end :P

I can't remember if this question was asked, but how would your boys woo a potential mate?

I SWORE I did this one before but it mighta been the other way around XD So!

Macaw- He gets them little trinkets, gifts. Pun mugs, keychains, hats. This is gonna be someone he's been friends with for a while, mind you! So his anxieties are low, they know he's Grey Ace. Then when he feels ready to properly ask, he invites them over for some cheesy comedy moves. Tries to pull The Arm Move. And when all seems fine, asks them if they'd like a boyfriend. He might know someone interested.

Lupo- Extravagant gifts! Flowers and (healthy) treats! Flowers delivered to their workplace, their favorite lunch made for them everyday. Oh they forgot? Never fear! He brings it for them! When it comes to the actual confession he becomes a sputtery mess, in his best date clothes and with a wonderful meal of spaghetti set out for a candlelit dinner at his house.

Falcon- Casual fancy dates. Sometimes it's to a nice bar, sometimes a proper restaurant. Nice gifts, way to nice like expensive. He's gonna ask to be your bonefriend the night he brings you home to meet Jackal. If you can handle THAT, then he knows you're worth it.

Jackal- Whole nine yards fancy dinner dates and galas and perhaps a nice cruise. He's Aromantic, if he catches the FEELINGS he's gonna go for it and try to catch this one. Similar to his brother, he brings the potential mate home and sees how they handle being around them both as a small test (if they stuck around this long they probably have witnessed a Jackal Bad Day by now).

Jay- Over the top treating his potential as a prince/princess/princen. Lots of praise, lots of peacocking. He tries to show off a lot and hide his weaknesses. Casual flirting too, holding your hand, declaring his affections often enough.

Fox- He spends more time with you. He doesn't know how to flirt- but like Macaw he and his potential need to be friends for a while first, and they will know he's Ace and sorta hates being touched too much. They play games together, and he brings them all these pretty flowers in the game. He pushes their beds together. He tries to get the RAREST items for them.

Crow- Flirts! He flirts and purrs and coos. Tries to look cool and fancy. Becomes very touchy, wants to snuggle and will hold your hand any chance he gets. He's Demisexual so the moment his flirts get a bit coy or saucy is when you know he's full on crushing. Though really people keep beating him to the punch lol

Hound- He's a flirt by nature to try and keep others chill around him. If he likes you he shows more of a shy side, he frets and fusses. He'll also get a little touchy- just shoulder bump or lean into or a light nuzzle. He'll woo by trying to protect you (after making sure you aren't an ass to his brother). Biggest sign he's fallen for you is letting you use his hoodie.

Vulture- Woo a mate.. uuuhh... Kidnap? NO no! Bring... bring gift? Yes! Shit what do mates like? Meat? Yeah lets go hunt! He finds the biggest thing he can get and drags it back. Hyena's sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose. Vulture will also carve things from bone for potential mate.

Hyena- HE still uses the DATING MANUAL like a CIVILIZED MONSTER. He gets the potential mate some gifts! Maybe even makes them! He also makes them (safe) food! He also lets them close, and see his soft side.

Robin- What was Vulture's first idea? Yeah that one.

Dingo- Same as Robin, and tries to show what a wonderful mate he can be! Just don't try running away.

Deemo -prelude- Chapter 4 English translation

i had my exams last month and was too damn tired to clean and translate this so i put off finishing this chapter to september lol (plus i usually only post on thursdays). sorry but in terms of my extra free labour priorities that i hate doing, deemo comes last because it involves photoshop (my hatred goes: photoshop > arranging notes into a score > translating > picking out notes from a song hahaha).

chapter notes and encoded link below since there are more this time.

notes:

as always, I translated this from Chinese so my tl not be 100% accurate if compared to the JP raws

please don’t reupload elsewhere (especially to social media), and don’t remove my credits page. additionally, this is not to be profited off of in any way and is intended to for one’s private enjoyment only.

i despise photoshop and cleaning... and i almost gave up on cleaning the panel that has the “I still really” text  (mind i still did a shitty job cuz i suck with photoshop and i did try to cover most of it but still!). not looking forward to cleaning the next chapter..  or maybe i’ll just  white everything out. haha...*sigh* iuno. i never have motivation to photoshop stuff.

went back to my older chapters and added in the text on the title pages... since i kinda overlooked them? still, i don’t care to clean those pages (waaaaaaay too much work involved in that. maybe if someone gave me thousand dollars would i consider...and only consider doing that xD [aka never happening unless i happen to win the lottery]).

on that note, i should probably mention that I purposefully skip translating the ストーリー text boxes since they’re just recaps... and it’s way too much effort to do anything with them cuz English is not a language that looks good when typed vertically and I do not like squishing text.

i should probably delaying uploading my chapters to mangadex by a week. im a tad lazy with the editing for this since i already hate translating anything that involves the usage of photoshop... and i keep noticing errors that ive now gone and fixed in my older chapter translations... though i am sorta annoyed how i’ve kept on spelling “La campanella” incorrectly. -.- well, i’ll fix things on that site eventually... whenever they get their edit function working again.

i went back and changed Hans’ dream to being a “world-famous” pianist (left world-renowned since that basically means the same thing) in chapter 3, since chp 4 gave me more context which made that make sense to me

ive noticed my scanlations on other aggregate sites aside from mangadex... and while that admittedly doesn’t actually bother me given the sites I use to read manga, if i ever see my uploads without their credits page, i’ll just make my translations for Deemo solely available through patreon (the removal of credits pages crosses a very hard line for me).

i’ve completely given up trying to find clean raws since the site i used for this manga went down. oh well lol. suppose that just means that i’ll do more of what i did for chp 3 and now 4 going forward since i had no luck in finding another site after an hour and i’m a firm believer in not doing anything more than necessary when doing things for free (i can afford to be lazy when doing shit for free lol).... also, im not willing to buy the raws either since i have no money for that hahaha... 

 below is not a link. its a bunch of chars that needs to be decoded via base64decode to reveal the link

CCS: Clear Card Ch. 50

We’ve reached 50 chapters!! So, CCS Clear Card anime S2 when??

Chapter 50 is currently available on the CLAMP-net’s YouTube Channel. As always, please check out @meimi-haneoka​‘s chapter analyses comparing Japanese vs English versions, because Japanese language is full of nuances that the English version doesn’t quite capture. And there’s a LOT of those this chapter!

Links for previous chapter reactions can be found here.

Chapter Reactions:

The cover page is very... Alice in Wonderland-ish.

Momo evil laughter...? ( °͈▵°͈)

I’m surprised Sakura just went straight to talking to Momo. But also so Sakura?? I guess in the panic of things... there’s no time to waste in freaking out over talking plushies, since she’s already seen many in her life...? 

LOL they actually addressed that!!! AHAHAH. 

CLOW REED appearance~~sorta XD!!!

Whoa there... Eriol did something else we weren’t aware of??!

Also, wow, to think Eriol had to do these things to kinda conceal Sakura from being discovered...? Big move.

It’s the book again! You know... my feelings towards this book is ALMOST like how I feel about #theEGG from xxxHOLiC... sigh.

Split in two?? What?! Like Kero/Spinel two sun guardians?? or Kero/Yue two guardians (of original Clow Book)?

Momo’s true form!! So pretty!! Also, we find out it’s not her true name :3

Momo’s so dramatic?? Getting Sakura dressed for the occasion, lol.

Dang, so Momo’s acting on her own, independently from Kaito.

Kaito... you look super unwell >_<

THE TIME IS HERE. WOW. FINALLY.

I have a very very very bad feeling about this... 

Sakura, in an alternate version of her own world, but not being recognized!!

----

Wow, so much to unpack. My brain hasn’t wrapped around all the stuff yet. I’ll just focus on a few things (mainly Momo, and where Sakura’s landed herself) for now. May come back to revisit this later...

Okay, so like some “background” stuff that Momo revealed to us was that Eriol (and Kaho) had used a spell to kinda mask/hide how power Sakura is, or how powerful she could become... that’s pretty big news. I think this kinda emphasizes just how powerful Sakura is overall--it’s not like she just GREW to be powerful, but she always had that potential in her. Of course, it was probably only a matter of time before others will begin to notice Sakura’s powers, with her creating the Clear Cards and such too. I’m very interested about Momo’s origins though. Her true form is absolutely gorgeous, and I’m very curious about her true name!! Anyways, the way she talks about Clow and Eriol... it seems like she’s VERY familiar with him, like know about his guardians, and like what Eriol did to protect Sakura. I wonder if she was around when Clow was around... maybe??

So from this chapter, we see that Momo is acting on her own--independently from Kaito. Meaning if he had his way, this would probably not be his approach, that, or he wouldn’t be involving Momo at all. And also, for Kaito to not be able to act this time, it shows how serious things are cuz it looks like he’s really at his limit..!! Also, it SEEMS like it’s an actual big deal for Momo to be doing this and in her true form, so yes, very curious about her origins. I mean, if there’s anything we know about CCS or CLAMP, we know that not all “villains” are simply “villains” and it seems like Momo’s role here is similar to like what Yue/Eriol were like for Sakura when she faced her different trials. 

Now, this world that she’s ended up in, presumably as “Alice” now, given how Momo has addressed her. I’m thinking it’s possible that Sakura’s ended up in a world (the cardboard-y structures makes me wonder if this is related to their school play...) where “Sakura” does not exist, given by how Fujitaka reacted to her. Either Sakura doesn’t exist at all, or her existence has been replaced by Akiho (or maybe Akiho/Sakura-swapped existence situation). I wonder if like this was always the plan (like what Kaito wanted to eventually do) and Momo’s just letting Sakura experience it a little. 

And, and, Momo’s words as Sakura’s being transported... gives me bad feelings!! ( °͈▵°͈)

You tagged something like "what do I need to catch up on" and was that in response to the Thrawn book? Because I haven't read anything of Thrawn before. And this book is like where he began and how everything started so you don't need a whole lot of background.

oh ok that’ll be fun

so that means I can probably put aside the other ones for later

I really did just check the entire list of books with Thrawn in them and decide There. That’s the Good Stuff. This is now on my list. XD

Heartwood Hatchingtide!

A mysterious note had been posted on the company’s bulletin board, beckoning members to meet at Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre for a Hatchingtide celebration! But beyond explaining that the event was to ‘help the youth,’ details were scarce. Who’s organizing this? And what activities will happen? You’ll have to go to the amphitheatre to find out.

And the place is absolutely decked out in egg-related decorations! But most prominent is the large and ‘in charge’ chicken, dancing mad on the road leading to the center. They wave at you two, and then continue to jig.

Intrigued by the odd note, Aislinn made the time to wander her way over to the amphitheatre. Whatever was going on, her curiosity got the better of her and she needed to find out.

Cravendy What is an egg’s least favorite day of the week? Fryday! Happy....friday! xD )) Cravendy I inflict pain unto myself everytime I make a pun ))

Riylli shuffled her way through the city, keeping her head down and trying not to attract attention as she made her way to the Ampitheatre. Whatever dour mood she was in would be briefly erased however as soon as she took in the dancing chicken that appeared to be waiting for her. "Er... Cravs..? Is that you..?"

"Twelve save us." Aislinn said, shaking her head as a smile worked its way across her lips. She paused a few seconds more to watch the chicken in its maddening jig, a laugh bubbling up from her throat. "You know, I'd bet gil on it."

Riylli (I love the way our heads move watching her dance Riylli (getting in on the beat Aislinn ((We're mesmerized))

Aislinn - She waves to the chicken. "So what's all this about helping out at Hatchingtide?"

“Cravs? Who’s that?” The chicken momentarily stops dancing and, somewhere in the distance, a kid groans in disappointment. Seeing that, the chicken slumps, but begins to groove once more. “I...I am none other. Huff. Than. Chickendy Hound! And it was I that called you out today on a mission...most. Huff. Important.”

Aislinn's smile widens. "Sounds like you've been dancing there quite awhile, Chickendy Hound." she noted in amusement as she plays along.

Riylli staaaaaaaaaaaared, bewilderment on her face as she tried to wrap her head around exactly what was happening here. That was definitely Cravs. Even without the giveaway of the name, the only other one in the company that tall was Rising, who Riylli was particularly sure would not be able to dance like the chicken was after the previous night. "Er... And what's that then?"

“Ay shite, I’ve been dancin’ for bloody who knows ‘ow long...” Cravs grumbles, and at that very moment a mother and child strolls on by. Cravs stiffens and clears her throat. “I mean. I can dance all day and all night! But now, the egg advocates would have us take care of another chore-I mean, thing of utmost importance. And that...is collecting eggs!”

Riylli pauses her judgmental staring to instead watch the mother and child pass, seemingly getting distracted for a moment before turning back to the chicken and letting out a sigh. "...Right. We gettin' paid for this or what?" She asks coldly, apparently back to whatever bad mood she had been in before meeting Chickendy

In contrast to Riylli's foul (fowl) mood, Aislinn seems to be enjoying this all too much. She makes a poor attempt to hold back any more laughter and nods to the passing mother and child. She couldn't begin to imagine how hot a suit like that must get. "Aye, of course. Harsh task masters, these egg advocates."

“No good deed goes unpaid! Which is to say, no, we’re not gettin’ bloody paid for this. I asked.” Cravs crosses her arms and I swear, you could see her chicken hat’s eyes furrow in grumpy anger. “Though they said we can keep any extra eggs, which ye can probably sell if yer strapped for cash.”

"....ye -do- get a free chicken suit though. That count for anythin'?"

"How, exactly, did they talk you into this, then?" Aislinn wryly asks.

Aislinn leans forward a bit and lowers her voice. "Did you lose a bet?"

Riylli let out another long sigh. "I hate this damned city so much..." She mutters, pinching the bridge of her nose as she seriously considered just turning around right then and there

"Ch-chickendy needs no reason to spread cheer in the world!" It's unclear if that's the whole truth, half, or not at all.

Riylli shot Cravs a glare, "Oy Chickendy, you better give me a better reason than that. How'd the scary pirate lady that can't even apologize end up in a situation like this?"

That earns a doubtful, though amused noise from Aislinn. "Yeah, if Chickendy is anything like Cravendy I'm not sure that math works out." Nevertheless, she shrugs a shoulder. She needed a break from building the prototypes at any rate, it was why she wandered out in the first place. "Alright then, I'm in for a bit of egg collecting." paused. "Chicken eggs, right?" she asked, deciding she better double check.

“HEY. I’m not so cold that I’d refuse to do some good in the world! That, and I didn’t say no right away. These folk sense weakness and twist yer arm until...” Cravs hears something approach from behind and freezes up.

Aislinn ((I'm going to hear this song in my sleep)) Riylli ( PA PAYA Cravendy pa paya! :D ))

An egg advocate comes over, peppiness turned dangerously past the dial. They drop a box containing chicken costumes in front of Riylli and Lin and - did they wink somehow? “You must be joining our friend here in setting up! A thousand thanks for choosing to spend your time spreading the festivities!”

Riylli shot the newcomer a glare so powerful that it could probably be tried as physical assault. "You have to be joking. You want me to wear that shite too?"

Aislinn eyes the chicken suit that was so unceremoniously dropped in front of her. "Wait...you were serious about the costume?" she looked the egg advocate over. The maniacal exuberance and zippered up smile a touch zealous. "Why the suits? We're collecting eggs, right?"

Aislinn ((It's all fun and games until you get stuffed in a chicken suit))

“Of course! The kids -love- it, and it’s said that wearing this’ll help you collect the eggyest of eggs! Chicken eggs!” The advocate unpacks the box’s contents, finds a suit fitting Riylli’s size, and thrusts it upon her without a moment’s hesitation. This person is awfully pushy, with all the strength of a traveling salesman who's got their foot in the door. “Now now, no fussing and get cracking!”

Cravendy laughs weakly.

Aislinn suddenly finds her arms weighed down in a similar fashion. She narrows her eyes slightly over the bulky armload, very likely imagining an unseemingly kind of violence that would wipe the peppiness right out of the pushy advocate. But then she cuts a glance to the still dancing Cravendy and merely sighs. The Seawolf was definitely in dire straits. "Fine. But we bring you back eggs that are eggier than other eggs and then ALL three of us are off the hook."

Riylli is forced to accept the chicken suit into her hands, blinking as her stare went from it, to Cravs, to the advocate. She wondered if it would be possible to evade capture from this deep inside the city if she were to commit some sort of crime right about now. Her attentions thankfully turn back to Cravendy. "The next time we go out drinking, you're paying for every round I feel like havin'" Riylli stated her demands, figuring it would be in everyone's best interest to ignore the advocate

The advocate squeals with glee and points to the west. There, you’ll find the chicken coops, the eggs, the hens! Best of luck! And as the three of them make their way over, the moment Cravs is a safe distance away from the advocate she slumps over. “Thank ye both...that person is frighteningly stubborn. Ye don’t want to know.”

Riylli lets out an absolutely exhausted sigh. "Figured you wouldn't be doin' this if you weren't in some sorta trouble... One day we're gonna have to teach you how to talk to people though." She muttered as she shoved the mask on over her head.

Aislinn stares at the retreating advocate's back, noting how a squeal was not a verbal agreement. A point that might have to be dealt with later. For now, she turns to Cravendy and shrugs. "Sometimes I think our contracts are easier to deal with." she added.

Cravendy nods in agreement with Lin. Clear cut rules, payment! But in the world of volunteering and do-goodery, there was a wide spectrum of folk to tussle with. She looks over to Riylli and snorts. “Looks weird with just the ‘ead.”

Riylli began idly fiddling around underneath her mask as she tried to get it to fit properly. "Course these things don't fit my damn ears... Nice to know nothings changed around here." She muttered angrily, definitely feeling very spiteful today. "EVERY. ROUND." Riylli reminded Cravs, then finally began to put on her suit, grumbling all the while

Aislinn - As they made their way to this special hen house, Aislinn struggled into the ridiculous chicken costume. "Know what this is? This is Nymeia's jest in return for me laughing earlier." she shook her head, her small frame almost swallowed up by the bulk of the costume. Looking down at herself, she laughed. "What is my life right now?" she pondered aloud.

Cravendy ALRIGHT so since the fates up, lets hop to it xD )) Cravendy whoever gets the most eggs...wins! )) Riylli (BAH, I SUCK AT THIS FATE THO Cravendy SAME LOL  )) Aislinn Also same)) Cravendy GDI )) Riylli ( KNOCK ME TO VICTORY Cravendy these chickens have NO EGGCUSE being this rude )) Riylli (GAH Aislinn ((They're very eggcitable)) Cravendy at some point you get knocked around to much )) Cravendy you accept heavy as a way of life )) Riylli (using the aoe to dash me to other eggs Riylli (this is pro gaming Cravendy make sure to turn in your eggs! )) Riylli 16 Cravendy AGHF I keep interrupting myself xD )) Cravendy 12! LOL )) Aislinn ((9!)) Cravendy damn pro gamer over here ahah )) Riylli (Riylli shall win every hunt in this fc Riylli Y E S Cravendy EGG )) Cravendy OMG )) Cravendy thats cannibalism! xD )) Riylli (victory tastes so good Cravendy tho my parents own chickens and they egg their own eggs all the time lol )) Aislinn ((Are you eating them ALL? Cool Hand Luke over here)) Riylli eggsecution Cravendy STOP you'll overdose on them! )) Riylli (I aint doing it again you cant make me Aislinn ((EGGsplosion))

Cravendy limps away from the henhouse. Truly, these birds were in a fowl mood! But she’s managed to collect a dozen and that’s something, right?

Riylli finishes her hunt with sixteen total eggs in her basket, the ultimate hunter in both speed and grace. Of course, she may have thrown some chickens around and caused some children to cry, but victory is all that mattered in the end. If she had to be a chicken, she would be the GREATEST CHICKEN

Aislinn hurriedly clambers over the fence, a basket half-full of eggs and the sound of muffled curses coming from under her mask. "Those birds are not normal. I see why we need the damned suits now. They're protection."

Cravendy - “Never thought I’d be tossed around by a...by a chicken?!” Putting it into words doesn’t help at all. She peers over to Riylli’s haul. “‘ow’d ye manage to get so many?”

Cravendy LOL at any cost, Riylli will be the ultimate chicken xD )) Riylli (Shoving children over and stealing their eggs

Riylli puffed up her chest, somehow managing to look proud even inside such a ridiculous outfit. "When will you learn... Keepers are the greatest hunters there are! Doesn't matter if it's beast or bugs or... or eggs..." Her confidence wavered a bit at the end there, but she wasn't about to give up this opportunity to gloat

Aislinn pulls her mask off with a huff and pushes back the hair plastered to her brow. She quietly counts up the eggs between the three of them. "This better be enough to buy your freedom from this cult, Cravendy."

Cravendy “Smaller target is all. Chickens were too busy chasin’ me around.” Cravs smirks beneath her hat.

Riylli pulled her chicken hood off, freeing her ears from their confines and giving them a tentative flick. Despite herself, she was wearing a large grin that let Cravendy know this was not the last time she would hear of this. "Sure, sure, whatever you say."

“I ‘ope so too, Lin.” Cravs sighs, thinking back to how chicken-garbed strangers would pop out at the strangest of times, incessantly asking about when she was going to finally help out. But when she sees the smiles on everyone’s faces, a part of her gives. It’s not all to keep nosy birds off her back. “...OY WAIT. Cravs? It’s Chickendy!”

Aislinn starts peeling off the hen-pecked suit and shoots the Seawolf a wry smile. "Aye, aye. Chickendy. My mistake." she paused, struggling to fold the suit over one arm while holding her basket in the other. "Should we get these over to the amphitheatre so they can be...decorated or painted. Whatever they do to them next."

Cravendy sulks. She knows that tone. Call her crazy, but a small part of her had held onto hope that somehow the two of them hadn’t made the connection. “Ay, let's get this over with.”

Riylli glanced down at the mask in her hands and thought for a moment, before suddenly deciding to put it back on. "Think Ill keep this on 'till were out of the city... Personally I hope Chickendy sticks around though. She can dance for us next time we go out on a mission, keep our morale high." She teases

Aislinn slides a glance Riylli's way. "Might come in handy if we ever face down another mob of avians."

Cravendy nearly chokes at the thought of dancing to raise morale. But she fumes in silence.

As you approach the amphitheatre once more, the sounds of children laughing fill the air. All around you, families and friends excitedly partake in egg-related activities. The advocate happily accepts the party’s baskets, and then hands each of them a delicately painted egg. “You all did so good! Here, as a reward!”

Riylli silently accepted the egg, paused for a moment, then immediately dropped it. "Woops." She muttered, sarcasm absolutely dripping off her tone. It seemed now that the thrill of victory had faded, Riylli was back to her previously grumpy self. "So sorry, hard to get a good grip in this costume. You understand I'm sure."

Aislinn nods in thanks as she carefully takes the egg. She smiles in her quiet way as she runs a finger along its surface, appreciating the detail. After a moment, she looks back up at the advocate. "Those are quite some chickens you've got there. The suits did actually come in handy."

Cravendy takes the egg and pockets it. Somehow.

“No worries! Have another!” The advocate presents another gift to Riylli. A chocolate egg. They then turn to Lin, sunshine exuding from behind their feathered maw. “The finest hens in Eorzea! And they lay the tastiest eggs too!”

Riylli accepts the gift, and then drops the gift. "Woops." She said again, practically challenging the advocate to give her another. Pettiness was her specialty, and she could do this all day.

The henny-helper hums in thought, and then raises a finger as a lightbulb lights up above their head. They take out a sticker and plaster it on the center of Riylli’s chicken hat. Bock bock!

“I’m free now, right? I am, right?” Cravs asks, and the Hatchingtide worker nods. Cravs stumbles back in relief, and then looks to Lin and Riylli. “Thanks...er, strangers. Well, I must be off. To somewhere.”

Aislinn sighs softly. "Nymeia's breath." she says, barely audible. This way lay trouble, she could sense it. "Right, then. Ah...thank you, I suppose." It seemed the polite thing to say. "And...good luck with the rest of your Hatchingtide. We'll just be heading out now."

Aislinn begins back away slowly

Riylli stared, trying and ultimately failing to figure out a way to counter this attack as well. Giving up, she turned to Cravs. "See you later Chickendy, try not to make eye contact with any strangers on your way out." She said, offering her a wave. She followed close to Aislinn as she backed away, sighing heavily. "Lets go back to the house and burn this shite..."

Although they had been strongarmed into helping out, the three of them did good in spreading festive cheer in Gridania. But perhaps they would stay far away from any chicken-suited fellows in the future....just in case.

Aislinn - "Might come in handy though somewhere down the line." she says with such a straight face, it's unclear as to whether she's joking or not.
