Reiji looked rather like a harassed babysitter as he frog marched the last of Law’s disorderly crew from the submarine. His eyes meeting Law’s with a meaningful glance as he left. There were a lot of supplies to be secured today for both Law and Kirin’s crews. The hope—a fond, distant, and vaguely delusional sensation that had settled in Law’s chest overnight—was that with both crews combined they’d actually succeed in this minor, routine task without needing an entire week or breaking the port they docked at. And gloriously, it left Law and Kirin alone for the first time in months. Between their duties as captains and the unpredictable nature of the sea, it was difficult enough meeting up with any frequency.

This left the precious few times they could get together—gloriously alone—a minor miracle. Usually this time also included Reiji but there had to be someone responsible supervising that wasn’t Bepo—who would waste his precious time apologizing for startling civilians instead of keeping the crews out of trouble.

The last look Law had received from the beleaguered man was simply a reminder of how much Law owed him. A debt they’d consider the payment of at length later. For now, their attention was better suited elsewhere.

“Ah, the sub is really quiet now, isn’t it?” Kirin asked, somewhat marveling at the now very empty space around them. It was true. The usual sounds of the submarine running was still going, of course, such as ventilation and the engine, but the ever present sound of chaos their crew was normally capable of was oddly absent. Part of Law didn’t expect Reiji to actually succeed in corralling their crew out of the submarine but he supposed miracles can, on occasion, happen.

“Yeah… it is.” Law muttered, wrapping their arm around Kirin’s waist as he guided the both of them to Law’s room. Some time to relax in their personal quarters was exactly what Law needed. Kirin reciprocated the gesture with a cheeky smile, pressing a kiss to Law’s cheek as they entered the modest room. It was mostly crowded with medical texts and recent newspapers. But the bed was free of any clutter and was quickly taken over as Kirin belly flopped onto the mattress. White hair exploding over the pillowcases as he laughed, gold eyes glancing up at Law invitingly.

Law huffed and rolled their eyes, pinching Kirin’s exposed side so he’d jump and move over. Shoes kicked free onto the floor as Law removed their hat, settling it on the nightstand with a sigh. Kirin quickly curling up next to them with an arm wrapped around their stomach and his face into Law’s neck. Law sank into the bed with a groan, soaking up the copious amounts of warmth Kirin naturally put off as it radiated into the sheets.

Kirin pressed small, lazy kisses along Law’s skin. Nosing at the faint stubble line under their chin and all the way down to Law’s collarbone. Warm skin sliding over his indulgently as Kirin whispered nonsense against his throat. Praise mumbled and rambled at such a low volume Law only knew it was happening because they could feel Kirin’s lips move and vibrate their skin. Smiling, heat spreading across their chest, Law turned their head carefully and pressed a kiss to Kirin’s forehead. Reaching down to settle their hands on Kirin’s waist, dipping up under his shirt to fondle the curve up to an old scar on the left side.

Kirin’s tumble of sappy words was interrupted by a deep sigh. His hand curling up Law’s throat—their breath hitching in anticipation that burned away as Kirin merely cupped Law’s jawline in his palm to tip his head back for a kiss.

“Beautiful, look at you, so precious to me. A cutie like yourself deserves sweet kisses, don’cha?” Kirin pondered rhetorically, mostly to himself, before dipping his head down to graze Law’s lips repeatedly. Teasing Law to relax against the bracing hand and open up. Their reward? A deep groan as Kirin’s soft tongue slipped in. Languidly taking over the space as Kirin slowly settled over Law’s body. Using the position to his advantage as he propped himself up as Law sank further into the mattress. Panting and moaning as Kirin used his free hand to sweep under his shirt.

Dipping into the creases of their abs and along the memorized lines of tattoos over Law’s body. The world and the sound of the engine fading away as Law’s heart rattled in his chest. Stuttering fitfully with every slip of Kirin’s tongue along their own. Law panted, gripping Kirin’s shirt like the cotton fabric would help him keep his sanity. Coherent thought dripped out of him like the precum now staining his boxers. Law panted for breath desperately, trying and failing to maintain control of himself.

Then Kirin started grinding down against Law’s cock. A distinct, thick shape burning clean through Law’s pants.

“K-Kiri-ya! Shit! Y-you fucking tease!” Law hissed through their teeth when Kirin finally pulled back. The man smiled down at him smugly, gently pressing his hands against the sides of Law’s head. Then slowly bringing them down until the edge of Law’s jawline curled against his palm. Kirin leaned down and slipped his tongue back in, drawing out a whine from Law.

After a significantly shorter time than before, Kirin pulled back slowly. His tongue lingering along Law’s lips. His eyes bright as he panted, thumbs brushing up Law’s cheekbones indulgently.

“But you taste so good, love. And you make the cutest face.” Law huffed, cheeks red hot as he glared. Their fingers twitched against Kirin’s sides before sweeping over the skin. Barely grazing him, really. Teasing him with the warmth of Law’s palms and a ghostly touch. Kirin slowly leaned back down until he could brush across Law’s lips with a whisper. “I love you, Law. Let me show you? I want you to ride me, capt’. Let me see you take it.”

Law sucked in a sharp breath just as Kirin’s lips met theirs. It was slow and hot, the kiss melting into something deeper as Law moaned. Rough hands digging into Kirin’s soft skin to ground himself. His cock throbbed with want as Kirin kept slowly grinding the length of his against Law’s. Almost directly over it. Reminding him of how much there was. It burned and slid over Law’s jeans through Kirin’s pants.

Law tugged down both of their pants until they could kick the offending barriers away. Shirts ripped off between messy, wet kisses. All the while Kirin kept babbling shit that set Law’s ears on fire. His cock throbbing at the lurid praise.

“So pretty every time I see it.” Kirin grazed his hand over Law’s erect cock, taking it into his fist for a gentle, unaided pump. Law leaking so much pre, Kirin’s hand slipped.

“You make beautiful sounds all the time—almost as pretty as when I…” Kirin slipped his wet palm over Law’s throat for a meaningful squeeze. Law practically keening at the too-gentle motion, the sound chased by Kirin’s tongue. Kirin’s free hand massaging Law’s parted thighs indulgently. Tracing up the tense muscles to cradle their balls. Tapping and teasing up Law’s throbbing cock. Kirin removed his hand from Law’s throat, squeezing the base of his cock to prevent any premature orgasm.

Kirin waited a moment before reaching down, Law’s heart racing as he hoped it was to touch them more. Law was half right. Kirin pulled up Law’s hand. Pressing kisses from Law’s throat down his arm. Lingering over his tattoos before reaching the pulse point at his wrist. Kirin paused there for a moment. Lips pressed against the gentle throbbing vein with a soft smile.

“You have such beautiful hands. Strong. Steady. A doctor through and through. Think you can put them to… good use? Open up those lovely legs for me, babe~” Kirin cooed, kissing up Law’s palm and pecking the tip of each finger. “I need help prepping your pretty ass.” Kirin admitted, letting go once Law nodded with a hot blush.

Law reached down their sides and parted their thighs. Reaching down further to slip their hands in place reveal their ass. A pillow slipped deftly under their hips when Law lifted up to show Kirin his goal.

The sound of a bottle popping open caught Law’s attention. The medical grade lubricant sliding down Kirin’s hand as he poured it out generously. With a soft, approving look, Kirin dripped some down Law’s balls. Watching the semi-cool liquid flow further down to Law’s ass.

Kirin put away the bottle and pressed the pad of his finger against Law’s ass. Dipping in slowly with the aid of lubricant. Panting, Law moaned at the steady intrusion. Fingers gripping painfully as Kirin teased their opening. With difficulty, Law relaxed, throwing back their head as weak moans began spilling out. Rather quickly, Law was greeted with another increase in size. Hot fingers easing the natural tension as Law shook. Glancing back down, Law was unsurprised to find Kirin staring him down. Taking in Law’s reaction hungrily. Kirin smiled as he crooked his fingers inside Law, pressing a chaste kiss to Law’s shaking thigh.

“You’re doing good, babe. Just a little more and you can ride me.” Kirin glanced down at Law’s own cock. Kirin flicked his tongue out, lapping up the thick stream of pre that dripped down. Fingers still scissoring open Law’s body as the fire burned in his chest. Law grit their teeth, groaning as Kirin pressed his tongue over Law’s tattoo on the underside of his dick before swiping up back to the head.

Kirin deepthroated Law’s cock just as he slipped in a fourth finger for good measure. Free hand squeezing the base as Law gasped. Orgasm throbbing in their balls but with no way to escape despite the hot mouth engulfing it greedily. Law didn’t even really register if their ass burned from the stretch, so fixated on Kirin sweetly tormenting their cock. He moaned and cursed under his breath as Kirin slowly pulled away—only after Law stopped quivering from head to toe.

Law shuddered once Kirin removed his hands—and his mouth. Gasping for air as their heart pounded. After a few moments, Law recovered enough to register the dull thud of Kirin throwing himself at Laws side. Reclining back as he poured lube over his thick cock and lazily spread it with his fist. Eyes never leaving Law’s.

Growling at the obvious challenge—all twelve inches on display and dripping with lube—Law threw their leg over Kirin’s waist. Bracing himself against Kirin’s chest like it was second nature to tease his lover as he slowly eased onto his cock. He nearly slipped all the way down, hands losing traction against Kirin’s slick chest. Law grit his teeth as they pulled off of the scant half inch they managed to sit on their haunches. Kirin’s cock burning against the curve of their ass as Law took a deep breath.

Then, steadily, they sank back down. The head catching in a thick bulge in Law’s body as they tried to remain aloof. Kirin’s hands drifting over their slick skin with a look of awe. Like Law trying to take his monstrous cock was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.

“You could make this easier on me, you know.” Law hissed as they struggled with how fucking endlessly thick and long Kirin’s cock felt inside their tight ass. “I-I know d-aaahnm~ W-Well— Yoooouuu can control—it!” Law moaned as Kirin’s cock dragged against his prostate. Kirin smiled sweetly up at them, hands cupping Law’s quivering cheeks as he spread them further. Then used that grip to pull Law back up to until the head was lodged against Law’s tight rim.

“But babe, you look so cute taking all of it.” Kirin smirked before allowing Law to painstakingly make their way back down Kirin’s hot cock. Determined, Law attempted one, long, smooth descent.

Their cock throbbing as Kirin just seemed to keep going.

Law’s hands shook as he sat up all the way and gripped their own hair, yanking when a hoarse moan was pulled out by the thick stretch of Kirin’s cock. Not even half way in.

“Oooooh shit—K-Kir~!” Law moaned as their thighs began to shake.

“Yeah? Got something to say, babe?” Kirin teased, rubbing Law’s thighs with his hot hands. “Taking it all, aren’t you, sexy? Fuck you look good right now. That’s right, shit L-Law you’re almost there~!” Kirin whined, cock throbbing in Law’s tight grip as he distantly registered the sheer heat emanating from Kirin’s thighs as he neared the base of his cock.

Finally—fucking finally!—Law was fully seated. Their body felt so damn full with Kirin’s stiff cock nestled inside. Law’s cock throbbed and leaked heavily, smearing pre in thick drops as Law shuddered. Their heart pounded in their chest. Kirin moaned and almost whined, caressing Law’s body wherever he could reach with an almost worshipping touch.

Law gasped for air, swallowing hard before bracing their legs. Lifting up just the barest amount before settling back down. Starting up a slow, undulating rhythm with wet smacks and sharp cries from Kirin.

“Law! Law! Oooh fuck, Law, babe, yessss~! T-Tight! S-So tight—taking every inch you’re my perfect fucking—”

“Pururururu… purururururu… purururururu…” Law jolted back onto Kirin’s cock.

The den den mushi was placed in a different room entirely—Law refusing to sleep with the possibility of the damn thing watching him, let alone any particular… activities. Law glanced down at Kirin and smirked.

Kirin looked fucked and desperate, hands gripping and massaging Law’s thighs encouragingly.

“I-Ignore it, babe—Keep going! Fuck, please!”

Law’s smirk grew wider as Kirin moaned in denial, their hand splaying out as he gave Kirin a warning glare.

“Don’t. Make. A sound.” Law leaned down with some difficulty due to Kirin’s cock lodged in his guts to give him a kiss. “Can you hold on for me, darling?” Law asked though he didn’t wait for a response.

“Room.”

Kirin slapped his hands over his mouth just in time for the receiver to pick up.

Law’s teasing ‘quiet’ game was two-fold. It kept Kirin from making noise to tip off whoever dared call him while also ensuring Law could hear the den den mushi from the other room. Law wasn’t entirely sure that even Kirin’s cock throbbing in their ass could keep their libido going if they had to stare down a dead-eyed snail mimicking the caller.

“This better be good.” Law growled.

“Ah! S-Sorry, captain!” Bepo apologized. “W-We wanted to know what you two wanted for dinner! Sorry!”

Law huffed, anger abated instantly. Likely the reason why Bepo was the one to call specifically. Law glanced down at Kirin as the other man tried to take deep, calming breaths. Law smirked.

And started back the slow, steady rhythm he had held before the call came. Kirin’s eyes snapping open as he looked up at Law desperately.

“Hmmm… what do they even serve on this island? I’m not in the mood for seafood. What about you, Kiri-ya?” Law asked with a warning glare. Kirin glared weakly, shuddering as he hilted in Law’s body again.

“U-Uhm… I’m not sure, sorry! Ah, b-but I can smell it!” Bepo announced, several loud sniffs carrying over the heavily muffled whimpers below Law. “P-Pasta? T-Terriyaki? S-Something spicy and with meat? S-Sorry, captain! There’s several restaurants on the island! Sorry!” Bepo apologized again.

“Stop apologizing so much, Bepo.” Law sighed as he reached the tip of Kirin’s cock. Smirking lazily, Law slipped back down slowly to minimize the noise.

“S-Sorry!”

“Let me, Bepo.” Reiji announced suddenly, startling a near moan from Kirin. Law smirked as Kirin tried to hold back the obvious response to their third partner. “They do have several options, Law. You’ll have to just throw something out there or this will take all day.”

“Ah, Reiji. I’ll have to think it over a m-moment.” Law grit their teeth as he sat firmly on Kirin’s cock again to pause. Kirin almost gave a sob of relief into his palms, tears from being edged clinging to his lashes. It made Law’s chest feel warm to see how hard his partner was trying to please him.

And seeing how absolutely desperate he was for the torment to be over.

“…”

Law smirked at Kirin before responding, dragging his hips up again.

“Aaah… something with plenty of meat. Savory. Maybe sweet.” Law decided, before schooling their expression as Kirin nearly let out a loud moan at the veiled praise and inuendo.

There was the faint sound of steps and a chuckle.

“Alright. Kirin?” Reiji called out, startling Kirin again as his cocked throbbed in Law’s body as the sound of Reiji’s voice. “Don’t forget to breath. It’s not healthy to hold your breath just because you’re covering your mouth. And Law?”

Law startled, a shocked grin slipping onto their lips as he slammed down, ignoring Kirin’s soft moan. Reiji would never say that in front of the others so it was safe enough for a little noise. A sort of treat, so to speak, for the other man.

“Reiji?”

“Don’t tease him too much. Even if he looks good when you do.”

Law smirked.

“No promises. Room.” Law put the receiver back just in time for Kirin to loudly moan.

“R-Recchan~ Ooooh Law~!” Kirin threw his head back as he shuddered beneath Law.

Kirin’s hands suddenly gripped Law’s waist as he looked up with a burning gaze.

Chuckling, Law decided to tweak his nose one last time.

“Reiji can join us after dinner, darling. Focus on me.” Kirin smirked.

“Gladly.” Kirin lifted Law up just enough to start thrusting into him. Slow and deep, making sure Law felt every damn inch as it slid in and out. “P-Pretty baby, you look so good on my cock~ Gimme some sugar, babe~” Kirin sighed, using one hand to press against Law’s lower back. Encouraging them to bend over for the kiss.

Law moaned hard against Kirin’s lips, cock dragging against Kirin’s hot skin. Kirin slipped in his tongue as he manipulated Law’s body against him. Grinding his cock deep into Law’s body with slow rocks that pulled out harsh cries. Unrelenting and sensual rolls of his hips against Law’s unresisting body.

Law panted and moaned, the sound mixing with the wet smack of his balls against Kirin’s thighs and Kirin’s own debauched sounds. Praise mixed between panting breaths whenever Law pulled away for air. Their own lung capacity fried with the feeling of Kirin’s cock clear in their throat—well certainly not really but fuck he felt so fucking deep Law c-couldn’t take it much longer.

“I-I love you! A-Ahhhnn~! Darling! F-Fuck I love you—AAHHNNGH~!” Law moaned, the sound buried under Kirin’s loud cry as he came. Filling Law’s body with hot cum and triggering their own violent orgasm as he shot between their panting chests. Wet, messy kisses smeared with overstimulated cries as Kirin kept going with jerky motions. Allowing the both of them to try and ride out the high as their bodies trembled.

Law collapsed against Kirin’s chest, cock slowly pulling out of their body as they moaned hoarsely at the stimulation. Kirin rubbing Law’s back as a wave of cum spilled out onto their bodies. Law could hear Kirin’s rapid heartbeat still as he smiled. Pressing a kiss above the sternum with a weak chuckle.

Kirin kissed their damp hair.

“… hah… hah… L-Love you too, Law.”

special edition show i haven't really seen you complain and/or talk about in a while: 7 8 & 12 for julie&the phantoms, shadow and bone and the wilds

oof the wilds….. that was an ERA fr. also what are you TALKING about including shadow and bone as something i haven’t talked about in a while….. i’m IN my alina era rn…… well ok let’s do this

7) what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

for julie i don’t hate anyone but lowkey i kinda hate those boys on the grounds of the fact that before i watched the show every post i had seen about it was ONLY about the boys and i didn’t even know who julie was or what she looked like because no one ever talked about her despite her being THE TITULAR CHARACTER like come on besties… for shadow and bone i’m not involved in fandom for that but from what i remember seeing back when season one came out and people were talking about it was that there was SO MUCH discourse about kirigan/aleksander/the darkling whatever the FUCK i’m supposed to call that man. well that didn’t make me hate the character but it DID make me realize that fandom was annoying as hell. the wilds… idk i don’t think i hate any fan favorites in the wilds. i think some people went too hard for shelby and toni tho. oh actually and kirin. yes i know i participated in loving that guy. i’m different tho. i’m never the problem haven’t you heard….

8) common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

i don’t think i know any fandom opinions about julie i’ve never really engaged with that. i assume though that there are people that ship luke and reggie and call julie a lesbian to push her out of the way. so that. no i don’t know that, i don’t know what i’m talking about I’ve just been around the block and i assume that’s a thing people in fandom do/did. shadow and bone…. well i think discoursing about whatever the hell his name is is dumb. i haven’t read the books yet but he’s well written enough in the show that there’s clear nuance we don’t have to do black and white morality discourse idk. as for the wilds…. when people were arguing about who we should ship for a potential third season and everyone was like omg martha and bo!! like. 😐 just say you want my girl martha to die goddamn. also true about every martha ship people tried to push. all of them would have been bad sorry. except maybe one. which i won’t say. unless….

12) the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

well. JULIE. oh my god why does no one talk about julie ever it’s ridiculous she is the TITULAR CHARACTER…. like was i just in an insane bubble at that time or something?? well i still never see anyone talk about julie when they talk about the show so idk. idk but i love julie a lot she’s my favorite :) this is also true for alina but i’m definitely in a bubble for that one. hm idk what the widely disliked in fandom characters are in shadow and bone so i can’t really speak on this one. do people hate mal? i’m just guessing that based on his gale-ism, there’s probably people that hate him right? well EYE think he’s neat, he’s alina’s best friend, they’ve been there for each other nearly all their lives…. he’s a brave man but deep down he’d rather be taming horses…. i like him!!! and the wilds. well. i liked raf, nobody else liked raf, he had that problematic swag and those big brown eyes he was like a pathetic little lamb to me idk. also leah but i think people warmed up to leah in s2, more people didn’t like her in s1. so like we won on the leah front fr!!

[sleeppfordays]

The Wilds season 2 comments

 ASDFGHJKL!!!

This season was gooooooooooooooood omg!

Such a PLEASURE to get my girls back! My precious babiiiiiiies T-T

I missed them so much.

So i'm going to rant a little :D

careful, spoilerish!

I really enjoyed this season, and i think i was -thankfully- in the right set of mind. I mean, i wasn't super thrilled about the boys, but i didn't let it go into my head and took a massive break from social media regarding the show. So, i was open minded and all in all, i liked the boys just fine!

They were a little less flesh out than the girls in season 1 (obviously) and they did take time from the unsinkable 8 (obviously again lol). But i enjoyed what the writers have done with them. For example Kirin grew on me. And i liked that we can make several parallels between them and the girls. (I associated Kirin with Toni a lot, and more than with Rachel).

On a side note, i feel like Gretchen really set up the boys for failure, or at least pushed onto them more difficulties. Even though not in the way i was expecting it, but it made sense that it would be discreet and subtle for the "data" between the groups to be comparable. For the experiment to still seem fair and the conclusions plausible. And it shows her intelligence and viciousness. I do not like her, and i like that!

I liked the rhythm of the episodes, how they switched from the boys to the girls to past and present. It wasn't confusing (i was watching tired af in the middle of the night). And i loved how the drama of the girls was completely different in nature (and not always how and where i expected it) compared to season 1 (really high tension, full-on survival mode); and by extension compared to the boys.

Reals spoilers the next paragraph. Back to spoilerish after that.

What bothered me/what i didn't like:

How the boys handled Seth after his assault on Josh. It was a mess, and that was fine to portray, i wasn't expecting something very different. But what did bother me is what Raf said at some point. Something along the line of "who are we to judge?". I get what he was trying to say, and to some extent, he's not wrong. But my boy, Raf, you have a fucking conscience. You know what's right or wrong, the problem isn't there, you can and you should judge such actions. The problem was on the sentence and how it was conducted. So, if the problem is not clearly and correctly formulated, the resolution won't be satisfactory. And by resolution, i mean how the group actually went back to Seth for his leadership. I get their lack of possibilities, and the life/death situation they're in, but that could have been handled better IMO. It weakened the all "mercy" thing in my eyes (not particularly talking about Ivan here, really the whole situation).

Josh. It's not that i don't like him, but it feels like he's the one that the writer made the less relatable, at least that's how i feel. Which is kinda too bad bc I could have really related to the type of problems he went through :/

Less screen time for the girl, more particularly Dot and Fatin.

Martha. My poor baby went through so much T_T

What i liked:

Kirin and Ivan. I'm not sure why Kirin grew on me so much (and he's quite far from having that much development, in fact). Maybe it will pass a bit, but for now, i do root for him. Ivan, i loved the thing about his activism. I won't say much more bc this rant is already too long, and i'm still reflecting on that part, personally. But yeah, his constant fight, his restlessness, i really enjoyed seeing that. And oc his growth.

And Bo and Scotty. They're precious.

My favorite moments:

Leah and Rachel's dynamic! Just perfect!!

Shoni was great. i looooooved how they both, in their own way and needs, made the most of the island and the freedom it gives them regarding their relationship and who they are as individuals.

Dot's birthday

The bond between the girls. How they're here for each other, respecting boundaries, leaving room to breathe but at the same time really being there, calling on the bs if needed... My heart!

Last but not least, LEATIN. Already a fan of this ship since the beginning (and I picked on the subtext fast you can't imagine). I'm still processing, but MY GOD. If the show goes there. The gays would. Be. Fed! And i'm starving XD I cannot wait for the fanfics <3

Let's wrap this up i'm losing my focus and if you're still there i took too much of your time already x) (but thanks for reading)

The end of the season definitely has me hooked for more!! It feels like it could end with a season 3 though. I hope i'm wrong, i'm kinda greedy with this show ^^'

[porciavividreams]

Ok so where are the other demons in modern times do they not care or something... again i ask why didn't the teacher train Towa on her demon powers

Seeing the reunion between the girls and mei makes me want kagome to see her family so bad man

...umm why is towa just talking about demon stuff in the open wtf girl

How did he not know she was a half demon.. she should smell like one and has white hair....

Why is Kirin saying he caused the grim comet im so confused .inuyasha was in the future for like years and he didnt draw it . This comet plot is so werid like are demons created from a comet ..so tht means they are aliens or is it like a group rising from hell

Why isn't towa sword hidden in public?

WHY IS TOWA JUST TALKING ABOUT DEMONS IN PUBLIC.. THIS IS HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE GIRL.

Is Towa sword disappearing and just reappearing at random?

Why not just have Kirinmaru come in and destroy the comet and just comeback? The girls arent strong enough to fight a dam comet at all

Riku just rescue Rion in literally 5 seconds.. why was it that easy man 😮‍💨

THEY STOPPED FIGHTING DEMONS TO WATCH TO WAIT MOE PREFORM THATS DUMB AS HELL WTF NOW THEY ARE ON STAGE WHAT IS THIS SHOW

Welcome to ApheolionVerse!! One of my hopefully many creative universes, both inside the next generation genre and out! Meet the Queen and Non Binary Queen of the Kirin kingdom, Lunar "Luna" Moon and Autumn Breeze!! ◤ ──┅┅┄┄*ೃ:.✧✲ﾟ｡⋆─── ⋆✩⋆ Names: Queen Lunar "Luna" Moon (of the night) , Queen Autumn Breeze (of the Kirins) Genders: Cisfemale / She/Her (Luna), Non binary / They/Them (Autumn) Sexualities: Bisexuality (Luna), Trixic (Autumn) Children: Undecided Other family: Queen Celestial "Celestia" (Sister), Sunburst (Brother in law 1), Stygian (Brother in law 2), Queen Rain Shine (Autumn's Mother / Luna's Mother in law), Unknown Mother (Luna), Unknown Father (Luna) ◤ ──┅┅┄┄*ೃ:.✧✲ﾟ｡⋆─── ⋆✩⋆ Backstory: The summer Princess Celestia brought her youngest sister of the night into the corridor to discuss their retirement and the vacation their most loyal student and future ruler of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle and her friends suggested. The siblings had just finished planning out their vacation, planning on actually staying together instead unlike their first attempt, before a royal guard busted into the corridor, his armored hooves clanking against the tiled flooring. "Ur Highnesses!" He'd start, getting closer to the packed princesses to returned his unexpected visit with open wings and dead stares. "The Kirins are requiring a meeting before ur retirement." He finished , before taking his leave with a bow. ◤ ──┅┅┄┄*ೃ:.✧✲ﾟ｡⋆─── ⋆✩⋆ The royal sisters paused their vacation, heading down towards where the kingdom of the Kirins were located. It was very easy to find from the bustling noise constantly coming from the hill, it was never really truly quiet after the creatures got their voice's back. Princess Luna showed understandable uncertain feelings about all this, but her sister was quick to reassure her everything was going to be just fine, it was just gonna be a quick talk between her and the Queen, mentioning a Kirin was supposed to keep the youngest sibling entertained, but it was unsure which one. Luna admitted she felt a little relieved they weren't going to be there for too long and were able to continue their vacation in peace, though she wondered why as the Kirins felt the need to keep her entertained. ◤ ──┅┅┄┄*ೃ:.✧✲ﾟ｡⋆─── ⋆✩⋆ They soon enough reached their destination, the Queen was waiting for them with a relaxed expression on her face. Before any of them could say anything, a smaller Kirin leaped out from behind the Queen, throwing their two front hooves up which clanked against the female's metal chest cover. "Omg! Ur real!! Ur Princess Luna!! I'm such a big fan!" The Non Binary Kirin would ramble on and on as they circled the taller princess, complimenting every inch of her. The dark blue princesses face would heat up, as she wasn't quite used to compliments as most of them were towards her taller, sunnier, older sister, her aquamarine eyes followed the Kirins every move around her. "AHEM!" a noise left the Queen, causing both Luna and Autumn to stop in their tracks, even though Luna wasn't moving an inch, turning up to look at her. "Autumn Blaze, my beloved sweet child. I do believe it's time to leave me and ur highness to our business." The Queen would remark ever so calmly toward the two. ◤ ──┅┅┄┄*ೃ:.✧✲ﾟ｡⋆─── ⋆✩⋆ Autumn Blaze would gallop in front of the calm princess of the night, who watched their every move, as they sung songs of the past for the kirins, showing off the princess to the others and just plain exploring with her, making sure the princess was safe and sound the entire time. Soon enough it was time for the princesses to take their leave, Luna would leave with plenty of knowledge about Kirin kind..but also a weird feeling in her chest, a feeling for Autumn Blaze she couldn't quite understand, a feeling of affection. The alicorn would soon return to the Kirin village more often after her official retirement, growing close to Autumn even more and more. From mutuals, to friends, to best friends, to love interest's, and soon enough weds. The Royal supremacy has always looked down upon female x female / non binary relationships, but Luna was never one to follow their rules, she was in love w/ the smaller Kirin and she knew it. The two soon eloped in the middle of the village, w/ her older sister at her side along w/ Cadence and the mane 6, supporting her all the way. They both rule the village as Queen's, side by side, Luna watching the customs Autumn was raised into by their mother and in return Autumn watched the moon rise and set w/ her. ◤ ──┅┅┄┄*ೃ:.✧✲ﾟ｡⋆─── ⋆✩⋆ ApheolionVerse belongs to: jawaipbe Luna and Autumn Bases belong to: SelenaEde on Deviantart Character's mentioned belong to: Hasbro

Dream High S1: The Start of Dreams

Dream High, as the name implies, is a drama that surrounds about students attending a musical based academy, Kirin High School of Art, in hopes to becoming celebrities. The name makes the theme of the show evident; dreams are involved. 

The protagonists are

Song Sam-Dog, played by Kim Soo-Hyun, is a country boy who discovered his musical talent while attending the academy.

Ko Hye-mi, performed by Bae Suzy, is a popular girl who is the main girl of the love triangle. 

Jason, presented with Wooyoung, is a exchange student who is well-known for his dancing.

Taecyeon played Jin-Gook, a troubled teen who is also gifted at dancing.

IU plays Kim Pil-suk, a vocalist who is on the bigger side.

With its all-star cast and romance intensive drama, this show exemplifies the teen drama. I recommend this show for anyone who is in high school or younger. The acting is not horrendous, considering most of these people are first-time actors. I would not watch it now, but it was good at the time of release. 

Spoilers below!

I watched this show as it came out originally around 2012. While there are issues with the show, it is not horrendous. It’s most of the actors’ first time performing so I did not take that much into account. The theme is cute, but the execution is odd at times. The characters always stray from their goal, but some random event gets thrown in that keeps them on track. 

My issue is with character development. (You’ll see this way more in the sequel). I felt that Hyo-mi’s motivation gets lost as the show progresses. She does grow, but it seems inconsistent with her motivation. 

The antagonist of the show is so heartbreaking. If I recall right, she acted the way she did out of jealousy and revenge for betraying. The dynamics between Becky and Hye-mi is very powerful and well done; I really like the dynamics between the two. 

The love triangle had nothing. It was hyped up in the beginning, but nothing happens in the end. No one really gets a happy ending romantically. 

My favorite couple is Pil-suk and Jason. Their subplot is more interesting and enjoyable than the main triangle. It feels more wholesome. The main qualm is that the couple suffered the misunderstanding trope. Pil-suk always has a chance regardless of her weight, but Jason never communicated it. I don't think Pil-suk really hid the fact that she liked him. OMG! I just realized Jason is a tsundere. Well, they still the best. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

❤❤❤ !!

Send me an ❤ if you’re happy when I’m online.

So many people I didn’t think would send this in have been surprising me!! AAAAAAAAAA I’m NGL you have been probably the nicest person that I’ve met in the MLP fandom (granted the number of ppl is like in single digits) but like— omg, you look so high quality I am just Shook from this. 

I’m so happy that my blog has given you some kind of happiness because I’m going to do what they call a big gamer move and slap this meme back at you. I love seeing your portrayal of Luna on my dash and TBH I’ve been binge watching the entirety of MLP: FIM from season 1-9 because what else am I going to do, being stuck inside. Hecc I’ve fallen in love with this and while I was scared to follow MLP Blogs you really make me feel a lot more comfortable approaching or trying to follow other blogs within that Fandom.

Thaaaaaaaaank you so much for sending this in. My heart is about to explode from this

ALSO I’VE BEEN MAKING SO MANY THEORIES AND IDEAS FROM THE SHOW. I made up this one big theory about the changelings and their evolution / transformation. I’ve been thinking about the kirin and just the lore and I swear I’ve fallen into MLP hell because holy heck I can’t stop myself and I’m abt to explode

Poke-Myth Project (for Fun)

So while I was watching some fake pokemon (called fakemon) projects on youtube it suddenly came to me, lol, why not mix two of my biggest passions together? And create a rather pokemon-project for older folks, with actual blood, gore, mythology, folklore and cryptids, but still with the basic stuff from Pokemon?

This is just a fun project for myself, but I share it here.

Types: Fire / Water / Cold / Earth / Metal / Toxic (Poison + Venom) / Death (Spirit + Undead) / War (Physical) / Storm (Lightning + Wind) / Mind (Psychic + Intelligence) / Chaos / Light / Shadow / Magic / Sound / Plant

Not all monsters are suited for a pokemon-like game though, so I cut a lot of monsters which I personally love, such as Shadhawar, Batibat and even Marabbecca, one of my favorites. I wanted to cut the Papinijuwari as well, but I just CAN’T! So I found some role for it. I want every creature to feel unique and non-recurring, so cuts must be made.

I will explain the Two-Choices (what they be) more expanded in a next post.

But for now a list of all the monsters in my poke-myth world so far, with the levels at which they evolve. Every creature can only evolve once, but some can choice in which form they evolve, others require some stats to make them evolve into a particular form, if that stat is not high enough it will automatically evolve into the other form, mostly the stat will be if the creature is evil or good, or what their battle history is like.

100 is the max level, and only the creatures that become really powerful will evolve at that level, the earlier the creature evolves the weaker their max-form is, BUT every creature makes a chance actually with good strategy, it is not like the powerful dragons that evolve at level 100 can always beat weaker creatures, well Goblins must try EXTRA hard of course lol.

I will also still need to put all creatures into their matching types, which is VERY hard in some cases, expecially since I’m planning of keeping the NORMAL type away from my project, omg that is hard.

Favorite Monster Hunter Monsters, Elder Dragon Edition

Alright, so here is the list of my favorite Elder Dragons. Once again, this is in no particular order. 

Please keep in mind that Elder Dragons are usually hidden or story-based monsters. There are bound to be spoilers for these games due to the nature of these monsters. If that concerns you, best to skip this list.

Let’s get this show on the road!

Ceadeus

As far as Elder Dragons go, let’s start with my first love. Ceadeus was my first Elder Dragon, before I even really understood the classification in reference to the series. He was epicly huge, really powerful, and honestly didn’t give a crap about me until I started being more than a mild annoyance to him and broke his beard. Fighting him was surprisingly fun for an underwater fight, albeit a bit frustrating at times, but I think it was the story aspect that really sold me on him. The beautiful music, the lead up to his fight (including the Lagiacrus fakeout), and the fact that this village’s future is riding on you at least driving this Ceadeus off, if not slaying it outright. It just made it feel ridiculously grand. The Goldbeard Ceadeus was kind of awesome too, but it didn’t have the same impact as fighting Ceadeus in the village quests did.

Oroshi Kirin

When I try to figure out if I like a monster or not, it usually comes down to the fact that monsters both frustrate me and enthrall me. So in which ones does the second happen more than the first? Kirin and Oroshi Kirin ride that fine line where it was hard to say. Both are frustrating as all hell, but they are such amazing monsters that it’s hard to stay mad at them. Oroshi in particular has an awesome-looking coat and I’ve always been partial to ice elements in RPGs. 

Kirin and Oroshi are fast and have really tough hides. They were the type of fights that made me glad I was a gunner mostly in MH4U, because bouncing is never a fun time. I sat back and let loose the pew pew right on that horn of his. To be honest, I initially kind of thought of Kirin as a joke. What is this tiny little horse monster gonna do to me, right? Theeen the carting began and I realized this horse got the title Elder Dragon for a reason. Despite the frustration though, I just felt more compelled to take him down.

Plus... I mean... you know... the armor?

Yeah... >.>

Gogmazios

Gog was our hidden Elder in MH4U. There wasn’t really a lot to him lore-wise, just a balls-hard fight. This is a monster covered in a very sticky, very flammable oil. So sticky, in fact, that this monster starts with a portable dragonator stuck in its back. If you can manage to dislodge it, you can use it against him in addition to the dragonator already in the arena.

Gog is surprisingly mobile for his size. Some of his movements remind me a little of Fatalis and he shares that annoyingly long tail trait. Gog fires explosive fire beams from his mouth that will burn you if you’re too close to the initial fire and, if you hang around the contact point too long, it will explode and send you flying with a ton of damage. He is also capable of flight, despite his size, and he occasionally goes into an enrage phase that involves him flying around the area firing his beam of death indiscriminately in every direction. If you can’t use the binders to bring him to the ground, you generally have to leave the battleground until he’s done rampaging.

My favorite part of him was mounting. I spent half my time in MH4U gunning and the other half with an insect glaive in my hand. And this guy was super easy to mount. It wasn’t uncommon to get a multiplayer room with at least two glaive users in the fight because most people knew that was his weak point. Mount him, bring him down, everyone does damage. Rinse and repeat. It turned a monster that was almost too hard to consider farming despite his amazing-looking weapons into a monster that was tough but fun. 

Lunastra/Teostra

Okay, so, I’ve only fought a Teostra, but I just love how the Lunastra looks and I had to include her with her hubby at least for that and the fact that in their original game, they fought almost the same way.

I love this lion-like, chimera look to them. Lunastra’s coloration speaks to me more, but I do love Teostra’s firey appearance. They look very regal in how they hold themselves.

In fourth gen, they added blast to Teostra and it is both awesome and sucks. In combat, you can get blasted around a ton and you practically have to have an enrage timer handy in a browser to time when he’s going to do his supernova move, because if you’re in melee range when that goes off, it’s gonna hurt. His blast weapons are some of the best in the game though, so I got used to fighting him pretty quick since we farmed him for weapons a lot. They tend to have less top-end than, say, Brachy’s weapons, but they have such an obscene amount of blast on them that with a quick enough weapon and enough hunters, you can just kind of chain explode a monster and cause them to flinch their ass off.

Edit: As of Monster Hunter World, I have now fought a Lunastra. I still love her, but that first unlock quest... well... I could have gone without that entire experience. lol

Hallowed Jhen Mohran

Jhen is yet another Elder that I fought early on and got that special sort of place in my heart. Monsters had always, until that point, been a toe-to-toe fight with the monster in question. Toe-to-claw? Anyway, it hadn’t even occurred to me that a monster this large could exist in this game. So when the villagers were like, “Hey, we wanna take on this monster, but we need to ready a ship to fight it with, can you get us some mats?” I was kind of perplexed but went with it anyway. The result was a ridiculously epic fight that involved firing cannons and ballista at a giant sand whale, climbing on his back to break parts of his spines, and a showdown with the monster creeping ever closer to the boat with only me between them. Having the MH main theme kick in when you use the dragonator on him during the showdown was also an amazing touch. It makes you feel like “omg yes!! I can do this!! LET’S GO GENTS!!!” I didn’t always get all my carves, but it was a fun ride.

Hallowed Jhen was definitely tougher, but god he’s pretty. Jhen has just this sandy, rocky look to him that is cool, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not all that fancy either. Then out struts Hallowed Jhen in G Rank, looking like some swaggering geode that says “Yeah, just try it.” I didn’t fight him often other than when I specifically needed mats, mostly due to his difficulty and also due to the fact that the epicness of the fight sort of starts to wear on you when you have to do it over and over for certain parts, but it was definitely amazing when we did fight him.

Akantor

Okay, first thing is first. Akantor is a Flying Wyvern. Yes, technically this monster isn’t an Elder Dragon. He USED to be classified as one, according to lore. You fight him alone in a volcano arena. He’s ridiculously powerful. His weapons are Elder Dragon levels of powerful. He’s an Elder Dragon, I don’t care what classifications say. :P

Akantor is like if you took a Tigrex and made him spiky and fire-based. He has most of Tigrex’s basic moveset when he moves and attacks. He has the added ability, though, to burrow into the ground and pop up elsewhere. Thankfully this is usually done rather slowly, so you aren’t likely to get too caught off guard unless you are just not paying attention. Which is bad news because if you’re not watching, you can end up with Akantor pulling himself out of the ground behind you and firing a beam that will absolutely devastate you. I guess I just have a thing sometimes for these big, slow, but intensely powerful monsters. He just looks like something you definitely don’t wanna mess with and, really, he isn’t. But he’s a fun fight. Certainly a lot more fun, imo, than his rival, Ukanlos. Shovelface can take a hike.

Alatreon

Ugh, okay, it pains me to break combo like this. I’ve been using the backgroundless renders of all the monsters so far, but I couldn’t do it this time.  I couldn’t find a proper render of him that didn’t either make him look much darker than he actually is, or make him look like he came straight out of a “brown game”. So you get this screenshot from the wiki instead.

Alatreon is a headache to fight. I hate fighting him. But he has some cool lore and his weapons look amazing. Sadly, I didn’t fight enough of him to be able to make his weapons in MH3U. They all have this theme of being black with glowy purple accents with some pretty cool shapes.

The idea behind this Elder is that he can use FOUR of the five elements. That’s Dragon, Ice, Thunder, and Fire. The only one missing is water. The problem is this makes him highly unstable. Monsters aren’t meant to have that many affinities, I guess. He uses all four against you in some capacity, though he can only use one at a time. The arena has a ballista binder, which is good because sometimes he will go into a flying phase where bringing him down is the better option to letting him fly around and have his way with you. In some ways he resembles the body shape of Kushala Daora and even has some of his moveset if I recall.

Chameleos

Okay, so you have that endgame set you really like, right? Got it all nice and gemmed up the way you like it with optimal dps skills? Yeah? Okay, cool. Now open five of those slots up, shove some anti-theft decorations in those slots, and suck it up. No, I said suck it up. Stop crying, you can have your skills back later.

Your enjoyment of Chameleos can be inversely proportional to how many of your items he’s stolen with that long tongue of his, as well as how rare those items are. The more he’s stolen, the more you want to cry and possibly throw something. You will not be getting those items back. R.I.P.

That being said, as a whole, I highly enjoy Cham. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I had to farm him excessively, both for my status blademaster set and for several of his top tier poison weapons. But I got pretty used to his antics. A dedicated anti-theft set specifically made for fighting him helped. I still had to contend with his poison stupidity, but it’s a small price to pay.

I think Cham may be one of the only goofy-looking Elder Dragons. He just has this expression that makes you wanna laugh. Like Kirin, he’s one of those monsters that if you don’t take him seriously from the outset, he will surprise you with the amount of ass kicking he gives you.

My favorite part of fighting him was his mist. He creates mist in the area that he can vanish into unless you’ve broken his horn (at which point he’s very visible when he THINKS he’s invisible). When the mist kicks in, it does this awesome effect where his battle music become muffled, like the mist is blocking your hearing somewhat.  I liked the effect a lot and it kind of added to that immersion, like you were surrounded rather than your hunter character. His music is also ridiculously awesome imo. 

Dalamadur

I’m not sure if I’d put Dally as my absolute favorite, but he’s very much up high on the list for me. Dalamadur is the largest monster in the series so far. As far as I’m aware, anyway. He sits at 44039.7cm (1444.8 feet) long and is fought with his body wrapped around a mountain. At any given time, you can only reach a couple of his claws, his tail, and his chest. You can hit his head if you’re ranged or an insect glaive user. He occasionally will move in such a way that you can hit his body for a minute or two.

This guy is so big and powerful that his movements can shape the landscape. When you find him, he’s covered in this layer of stone, just kind of sleeping wrapped around a mountain peak. He wakes up, cracks the layer off himself, and comes down after you. I love his roar in particular, it just adds to this whole idea of his monster so much bigger than you. It reverbs around the whole area.

Initially, I hated this guy.  There is a lot to remember when fighting him and if you’re unfamiliar with the fight, expect wipes. Our group watched videos about how to fight him before we took him on (WoW raiding habit) and we still got toasted a lot early on.  Once you learn his phases and tells, though, he becomes manageable and kind of fun.  You definitely want to be working on different things than other people. Have someone break his tail while someone else goes after a claw. A third person can be breaking his chest, while someone else could be trying to get on his head and set bombs up there. Learning to Superman dive through his beam of death helps as well.

He’s a difficult one to carve because his body takes a long time to settle during its death throes and you could end up somewhere where his body isn’t actually landing.  That takes practice as well.  Still, taking him out is extremely satisfying.

Honorable Mentions

There are some Elder Dragons that didn’t make it on this list, but I feel like deserve a special mention, or at least an explanation as to why they didn’t make my list.

Fatalis: Fatty just never appealed to me much. I mean, he’s a large dragon and kinda cool looking, but he doesn’t stand out to me. It might be partially because I never played the original game and don’t have that nostalgia for him. I also played MH3U first and so Fatalis feels more like a more plain clone of Dire Miralis, even though I know Fatalis is the one that came first. Crim and White are too frustrating to even consider.  I don’t really have fun fighting any of these three and only really fight them when one of my friends (or myself) needs his parts.

Dire Miralis: Speaking of this guy, he almost made the list, purely based off him being the first hidden Elder I ever came across, but... he was just too aggravating for me to actually like him. There were underwater parts for no real reason other than I guess he needed to cool off his body? He also seemed to home in on you with his projectiles, even when you were doing your best to avoid them. I don’t know, I guess he just leaned too heavily on the frustrating part of things for me to love him all that much. Still, he looks pretty awesome.

Kushala Daora: This was an odd one. I juggled the idea of adding him to the list, especially with his rival Teostra making the list. But I guess rather than anything being bad about him, it was just that he didn’t stand out for me quite enough. I love Daora, don’t get me wrong, but he is a metallic, regular-ass dragon model. He uses ice and wind and his methods of using them are pretty awesome. I also like that he’s one of the Elders that has part of his mechanic crippled by poison. But in the end, I felt like I didn’t want this to be a mile-long list like the normal monsters were and in a lineup of standouts, he just didn’t stand out as much for me? Sorry Daora, I still love you. Rusted can go to hell though.

Amatsumagatsuchi: Amatsu looks fantastic and I love how his armor looks. But... while I’ve played Portable 3rd, I never actually finished it.  I never even got far enough to actually fight an Amatsu myself. So, as much as I would have liked to include him, the fact is that I haven’t fought him and also know very little about him as a monster.

Nergigante: Very similar to Amatsu.  I’ve tangled with Nergy a few times, but it’s only really been in the beta or in a few quests I don’t want to speak of where he invades for a short time and you drive him off. I have yet to get a quest to actually take him out, nor do I know anything about his lore. I feel like Nergy might become a monster I truly love once I get to know him, but for now, he’s just too much of an unknown factor to include on this list.

And that’s the end of my posts on my favorite monsters. If any of the Monster Hunter World monsters really stand out to me, I may make separate posts for them later to gush about them a bit. 

I am still considering a favorite music post, but there’s a lot I need to consider and re-listen to before I make a decision on that. Thanks for reading!

[tigerwriter]

For the OC profile thing, Leif and Cai!

((Replacing “phobias” with “fears” because I think the later is what the question meant, and I get nitpicky about that =P ))

Full Name: Leif JadeGender and Sexuality: Homosexual MalePronouns: He/himEthnicity/Species: Corvid human, probably has some Courdonian in him as wellBirthplace and Birthdate: Raylier, Corvus, September 28th 1288

Guilty PleasuresSee, Leif has no ability to keep the things he likes secret, soooo

FearsLosing people he’s close to, both by outside forces and by his own mistakes, the Killing Curse, some of his family members to some extent (it usually gets nommed by the anger but it doesn’t change that he’s kind of afraid of them coming into his life and ruining everything)

What They Would Be Famous ForBeing an archmage is pretty rare. He also summoned a dragon at the Bloody Coronation, has been involved with a number of magical crises in Medieville and Corvus, essentially writes all the spellwork for undoing Courdonain conditioning, and possibly writes other texts about magic (I imagine he would like to put together a compendium on mirror magic, with Elin’s help, since he had such a hard time finding information to help Elin) (he might also write a general text about all the weird magical shit he’s run across for funsies. It’s a shame you don’t keep a journal, Leif)

What They Would Get Arrested ForThere was that time he was almost caught breaking into the Keep.... If he used some spell at the wrong place at the wrong time - likely trying to help someone, but, time and place, Leif - he could maybe be hauled off by some authorities >.>

OC You Ship Them WithNot my OC, but his canon boyfriend/husband Kirin

OC Most Likely To Murder ThemWell, Bastien gave it a good shot...

Favorite Movie/Book GenreDoes it have birds? Leif will read/watch it =D

Least Favorite Movie/Book ClicheInaccurate bird facts and omg don’t use red-tailed hawk noises for all birds of prey, and I imagine he’d not be fond of “nerd-fixing” storylines.

Talents and/or Powers:Archmage. Knows ALL THE THINGS about birds, and a lot about magic as well. Good at being a nerd.

Why Someone Might Love ThemLeif’s got a good heart, under all the scowling and sniping. He cares a lot for his friends and loved ones and will do just about anything for them, whether that’s providing them with some material good, using his magic, or trying to guardhawk them from danger. He’s very passionate about his interests, and his rambles about magic and birds can be entertaining if one has the patience to indulge him. As someone who didn’t know much compassion growing up, he’s sensitive to those who need it now and, while sometimes clumsy in his technique, he does try to understand and help people who are having a hard time.

Why Someone Might Hate Them He’s a noble and not always entirely aware of or fully-appreciative of what his social status gives/has given him; he’s gotten somewhat better since making friends who are non-nobles, and he’s willing to share whenever he realizes someone needs something, buuuut I could see someone who’s had a hard time just getting by getting annoyed with his complaints, especially regarding his childhood. Like “yeah you had this noise thing but at you always had food and shelter.” And while I don’t think Leif’s estranged family members really know him well enough to hate him or kind of recognize they were at fault for some of the strain, there are a few that definitely don’t like him because of years spent with Leif being bitter, easily-provoked, extremely antisocial, and with apparently no desire to be friends with any of them. He’s definitely seen as vexingly immature in some ways, and negligent of his duties as a noble.

How They ChangeLeif’s entire mainstory arc was basically “Leif learns not to be a jerk to everyone and that people won’t all be jerks to him, also”, which was quite the change. He also gets some chill later in life thanks to his ultra-chill husband.

Why You Love ThemA bird-loving, snarky, socially-awkward nerd with a found family and fun magical powers? What’s not to love?

Full Name: Cai ShaharGender and Sexuality: Male, and straight...I think? I could also see him being demisexual.Pronouns: He/himEthnicity/Species: Human. His ethnicity, though, is totally up in the air. I initially headcanoned he might have some Kinean in him, because that was the only place we seemed to have similar skin/hairtones for a while. But now there’re a bunch of other places where those could come from, so who knows, really? XPBirthplace and Birthdate: Seguier, Courdon, October 14th, 1281. He celebrates his birthday on August 22nd because he doesn’t actually know his birthdate, and even made just a lucky guess on the year.

Guilty PleasuresHmm...I don’t know about guilty pleasures, though I guess I could see him liking trying different kinds of foods, and that wouldn’t be something he really shares (because Cai’s bad at sharing things).

FearsLike most of my character’s Cai’s afraid of losing the people he cares about. Fun stuff \ o / He’s also definitely afraid of somehow being recognized and hauled back to Courdon; it’s not always an entirely logical fear, and he often knows that, but that doesn’t stop it from showing up.When he and Ophee’s relationship gets more serious, I imagine he has some - also not entirely logical - fears about the burns and scarring from his slave years bothering Ophelia, but dude your face is a worse mess and she likes you already. What a doof. I imagine they resolve this fairly quickly.

What They Would Be Famous ForHmm, I dunno - he’s not the only slave who’s escaped and done cool stuff, and he’s hardly the only good fireknight, but uh. If he was famous for anything, it would be one of those two, probably.

What They Would Get Arrested ForRunning away from the Armels? =D

OC You Ship Them WithNot my OC, but his canon girlfriend Ophelia!

OC Most Likely To Murder ThemValerian Armel for sure would want Cai dead if he knew he was still alive. Luckily I imagine he never finds that out.

Favorite Movie/Book GenreProbably likes a “good guys overthrowing an evil regime” plot. Animal stories are probably something he likes, too. So long as his least favorite cliche isn’t involved...

Least Favorite Movie/Book ClicheDon’t kill the animals in the animal stories! DDD8

Talents and/or PowersReally good with animals; animals seem to like him and he’s actually pretty decent at reading their body language, which helps. He has some conditioning to high heat from growing up in an iron refinery, which is helpful for a fireknight. He’s been trained as a fireknight and so has the expected weapons, combat, and phoenix-riding training one would expect. Bilingual, speaks both Low Courdonian and Kythian fluently.

Why Someone Might Love Them Dude’s been through a lot and never quite broke. He’s a loyal and competent knight, and always keeps a level head. While it can take a while for him to reveal it, and/or for others to learn to read it, Cai really does feel a lot of love for the people (and animals) he’s come to care about. He’s compassionate and wants to help people. Pretty eyes and some nice muscles don’t hurt either

Why Someone Might Hate ThemCai could soooo easily be misinterpreted as being a jerk because he’s so damn reserved so much of the time. There’s also the whole escaped slave who became a knight thing that some High Courdonians might not be fond of. Probably the bandits and such Cai’s fought and captured/murderated aren’t really his biggest fans, either.

How They ChangeCai’s...pretty stoic and srs all his life, really. He learns some self-confidence through his knight-training. Later on, he changes by opening up a little more, especially to Ophelia.

Why You Love ThemI really enjoyed making Cai have different hangups and issues from his years as a slave than had already been explored - emotional lockdown, scars he can’t hide, paranoia about people finding out where he came from… His knightly scenes are a lot of fun to write as well. Phoenix-riding knights yeah!
