jealous!ellie headcanons

a/n: these are modern headcanons sooooo... and this isn't jealous gf ellie, this is pining loser lesbian ellie... lol also super inspired by the talented @rxllingstones and @whore-era after reading their amazing fics tonight... pls go read them.. and for u fiends... there is ai audios at the bottom... more uploaded on sc bc tumblr hates me

ellie is incredibly hard to read

or at least that's what she tells herself

it's almost written all over her face how much she hates the people you date when she's in a five-foot radius of them

she tells herself she doesn't care (she's lying) but she can't ignore how her grip tightens when she sees you lip-locking some loser you met at a party

but she always finds herself at your side, pulling you away from them and back into the corner with her

"hey there, pretty girl. having fun?"

"i was until you cock-blocked me."

"there wasn't much to block... i heard his dick's small."

but the curse of having feelings for you was that you were always dating someone

it always comes up when the group goes out to dinner and the topic of who you're dating comes up

like it does every week...

"i actually really like him for you" dina shares, a genuine smile on her face

"yeah, dude's cool" jesse agrees, slinging his arm around dina in the booth

and then all the attention is on ellie as you stare at her with your wide eyes waiting for her approval

"what? you know you're not going to like what i have to say." she says taking a sip of her dr. pepper

yes ellie drinks dr. pepper

"cause you hate everyone i date!" you reply, your bottom lip jutting out in a pout

it was clear you were slightly tipsy but your face still made ellie smile

"yeah, cause you only date fucking losers." she would say smile on her face but anger blooming inside

ellie tries to be mature but she can't help herself

what makes it worse is that you really do date literally everyone except for her

so she doesn't really make an effort to be nice to the people you introduce her to

one time the same guy came around twice and all ellie could say was "oh it's this fucking guy again! hey man, glad to see you made it to a second date."

you scolded her after

but in her defense, you really are with someone new each week

until it's been three weeks and you're still dating the same girl

and ellie is a fucking mess

you started inviting her out to group hang outs and smoke sessions so ellie just stops showing up

she doesn't like the way it feels when her stomach flips upside down at the sight of you sitting on her lap, a beer in your hands

so she decides to opt-out, get high alone and avoid seeing you as much as possible

but it's short lived because your drunk ass is banging on her door

"ellie, let me in!" you yell over the tv playing from inside her dorm room. "i hear you watching shark tank!"

reluctantly, she gets up and opens the door for you

"can i help you?"

"yeah you can fucking help me. you can help me by telling me why you've been MIA for the last few parties. i miss you." you don't miss a beat and are already storming past her and sitting on her unmade bed

"you miss me? does arcadia know about that? you missing me?"

"is this seriously about you not liking another partner of mine? seriously ellie? grow up. you're supposed to be my friend and support me but you have done any of that?" it was obvious you had been hanging onto that for a while

she'd laugh but upon seeing your stone cold face her anger would rise

"oh, you're fucking serious. are you really that blind? you really think i want to be your fucking friend? i mean, my god i couldn't have made it clearer for you. i like you! like actually like you, like i want it to be my lap that you sit in. not hers. every person you have ever dated i have wished was me! but nooo, you just don't seem to notice."

she doesn't even realize it but she's shaking

she's actually just confessed her three year crush on you without even thinking about it

"ellie..." you begin, a worried look all over your face

"no, i don't really have it in me to get rejected by you tonight so please just go." she cuts you off, unable to meet your eyes

but then you're there next to her holding her shaking hand

"i'm not rejecting you, ellie." you whisper

"you're not? what about your little girlfriend."

"this might be absolutely toxic of me to say but... she's not you." you giggle

"you're absolutely right it's fucking toxic to say that…. but it's also EXTREMELY fucking hot."

ai audios:

extra ai audios:

there wasn't much to block..

oh, it's this fucking guy again!

oh you miss me?

you're not? what about your little girlfriend

you're right it's toxic to say that...

Planet Hotline Disaster

Summary: Kurona got a crush on a new girl… who is way taller than him

Cw: fluff, insecure Kurona, cute Kurona, tall!Reader f!reader, Isagi, Bachira and Chigiri being disasterous virgin besties, getting secondhand embarrassment for Kurona [*], 1.1k words

Kurona Ranze never expected to fall in love. Love was just something he never thought about, he had other things in his life: football, sharks, his routine, braids - just not romantic love. And it was fine - his life felt full and happy.

Then one day he met you and everything just went upside down. Before, Kurona never thought twice about his height - it’s not an important thing for football so why would he care?

“Ah Damn, she looks like a freakin’ giraffe” he heard his classmate commenting loudly on the hallway. When he turned around, his stomach flipped. You were so beautiful: long legs, beautiful eyes, amazing hair just right for braids - and you were definitely taller than him.

“Dude, shut up. Honestly she must be a model, because damn” - he had no idea who said it, but Kurona agreed in his mind. He never saw a more beautiful human being.

It was the beginning of your second year in high school and you changed schools because of your parents new job in this city. You felt so out of place, still awkward and way too shy to answer to the comments, so you just pretended like you cannot hear it. Anxiety was eating you from inside out and the fact that you were easily taller than any other girl in your year did not help.

The fact that you became desk mates was like in a movie - Kurona definitely felt like it was a string of fate in his favour. You were always so nice to him, so polite, that he couldn’t help but blush way too often for his own sanity. On the other hand every time he wanted to talk to you, words were just stuck in his throat. Sometimes you’d ask a question and he answered the most ridiculous and incoherent thought he had, because his brain just stopped responding. And you couldn’t stop thinking how adorable he looks when he blushes.

At this point all of his football friends knew what was going on.

“You know, you should ask her for her number” suggested Isagi during lunch “she seem to like you, and you can always use the excuse that you didn’t hear what was the homework, or ask her about school”

“Actually this is not such a bad idea” Chigiri agreed “it’s not like you are asking her out yet. Also maybe writing will go easier than talking.”

Kurona avoided eye contact and just sit there quietly eating his bento.

“You know you cannot just look at her and blush forever” Bachira added, what felt like a knife in the heart. He could. Actually, looking at you from the distance and watching you laugh, smile, or focus on the lesson was just enough for him. What made him feel sick to his stomach was the idea you’d find someone and fall in love. That this another person will come to your desk to flirt with you, hold your hand in the hallways, or take you home. Idea of watching you happy shouldn’t feel so bad, however all of this potential images just made Kurona nauseous. The truth is, he was too embarrassed to admit it even to himself, that he wants to do all of that stuff - not seeing someone else taking you away. However how could you ever choose him? You were so out of his league. Girls like you don’t want short guys like him.

The closest he’d ever gone to a romantic moment with you, was when you were doodling animals in your notebook during a boring class, and he couldn’t stop looking at your hands. You noticed how much he paid attention to the drawing, so with this beautiful smile, you took his notebook and drew the cutest shark he ever saw, with a tiny heart next to his head. If he could, he’d cut this page out and frame it, put next to the bed and just look at it before going to sleep everyday.

“How do you even ask girl for a number?” Kurona asked with a weak voice. His friends went silent. The truth was, well, all of them were quite disasterous virgins.

“You can for example told her to send you photo of her notes later, because you didn’t pay attention during class” Chigiri suggested.

“Or you can tell her that her number would look so good in your phone!” Bachira said with enthusiasm. Isagi and Chigiri sent him a stinky side eye.

“Yeah Bachira, I don’t know if you remember, but the last time she asked him if she can borrow his notebook, he answered “mozzarella”” Chigiri were ruthless in his words. “I think this line might leave a wrong impression”

Just for the reminder of Mozzarella Incident Kurona’s face turn red.

“You can just say she looks pretty” Isagi added. “Simple, easy. I don’t know. Compliment her hair.”

“Yeah, girls love it when you compliment their hair” Chigiri nodded. “This one would be the best. From there when conversation starts, you can ask if she maybe wants to exchange contacts. You can do it!”

All hyped up, Kurona came back to class. I can do it, he thought. I can ask her. He gathered all of his mental strength when you sat next to him for the next period. And for entire class he was repeating in his head what he will say to you.

Your hair are so pretty. I didn’t pay attention, could you maybe give me your phone number, so you can send me your notes later?

“Kurona-kun, lesson already ended” he heard your angelic voice. He felt like his brain got overheated.

“Oh, yes, yes. Sorry” he said, feeling that his hands begin to shake. It’s now or never. “Em!” He said to get your attention on him.

“Yes?”

“Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention on class, could you maybe give me your number so can you send me your hair later?” He said on one breath.

“You want me to send you… my hair?”

Brain.exe stopped responding.

“No no no, I mean, your hair are so pretty, and I think you would look so pretty in my phone”

Oh no.

At this point you couldn’t even keep a straight face. Kurona’s face had almost the same colour as his hair. You giggled. He wanted to just vanish from the face of the earth.

“Oh really?” At this point it was almost cruel to tease him. “You know, I think you would look very pretty in my phone too.”

You took a step towards the pink boy and leaned down right next to his ear. You touched his cheek right next to the short braid and made him shiver.

“I really like you too”

bts as my favorite jellyfish 🫧

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆.

+ cool jellyfish facts

(another list no one asked for. shark list can be found here)

☆ jin: moon jellyfish

probably don’t need an explanation for this one, simply for the fact jin in the moon and pretty like jellyfish

moon jellyfish can survive in both warm and cool waters!! they’re very social and travels in groups, also known as ‘smacks’ (that’s so silly). some members of the moon jellyfish species live without brains, ears, hearts, blood, eyes and pretty much anything we’re used to having as humans: they have 3 main elements to their existence, they’re 95% water, a mouth and a digestive system. they have their own version of a nervous system though, and without any lungs they breathe through their membrane

☆ taehyung: upside-down jellyfish

upside-down jellyfish are hella unique, taehyung is hella unique. basically a perfect match if you ask me

the different colors seem in upside-down jellyfish comes from their intake of algae. aquarists can tell captive jellyfish from wild upside-down jellyfish, the wild jellyfish have more of a muddy brown color where as the ones in the aquarium are usually a blue, black, white, green or purple!!! they’re rarely found alone, and flips upside-down alongside others of its kind. their little oral arms point up to the sun, looking like a little flower!!! :D

☆ yoongi: cannonball jellyfish

cannonball jellyfish are cute and yoongi is just a cutie kinda guy. i don’t make the rules

they’re carnivorous, eating fish eggs, red drum fish larvae and planktonic larvae of mollusks and snails. they use their little oral arms to move!! when the jellyfish is disturbed, they dive deeper into the water and release toxin-containing mucus! they can sense light gravity and touch. though communication between them isn’t understood really well, sometimes the jellyfish will form larger groups :D they can reproduce both sexually and asexually: they sexually reproduce in the medusa state (what we all commonly know as jellyfish) where they lay eggs that develop into planulae (basically swimming jellyfish larvae)

☆ jungkook: mushroom jellyfish

i kinda love the the little mushroom mullet jungkook used to have hence he is the mushroom jellyfish

their common name refers to their shape of them in the medusa stage: mushroom cap!!!!! they’re often confused with the canonball jellyfish as they both lack oral arms. the mushroom jellyfish is much flatter, softer and larger as it can grow up to 51cm. mushroom jellyfish survive off plankton parts which are pushed out of their umbrella by the water and caught between their sort of finger like appendages!! they don’t really pose as a stinging threat to humans because of their lack of tentacles. however their stinging cells reside within their little bell :D

☆ hobi: lion’s mane jellyfish

lion’s mane jellyfish look cool as hell, and hobi is probably one of the coolest people i can think of 🤨

lion’s mama jellyfish use their stinging tentacles to capture and eat fish, zooplankton, sea creatures and other smaller jellyfish. kingfish will hide within the stinging strands and feed on the leftover jellies until they’re big enough to venture out into the ocean. lion’s mane jellyfish can grow up to 120 feet. they don’t actually have a very long lifespan, only living for around a year :( they can have up to 1200 tentacles. they also have neurons, a ring of nerves within their hoods. without an actual brain and eyes they rely on these nerve cells to perceive and respond to threats. they poop out of where they eat, and eat out of where they poop :D

☆ namjoon: portuguese man-of war

okay so for this one, i watched a long ass video on jellyfish one time and the way they described the portuguese man of war was like kinda super cool and the big boy jellyfish. so to go hand in hand with my choice of shark for namjoon, this one felt fitting

kinda a cheat one because they’re not really jellyfish even if they look very alike. however are featured in jellyfish videos and lists alike so they count on this list too. they’re actually siphonophores, which is essentially a cluster of organisms called polyps that depend on each other for survival!! despite being a slightly scary creature they themselves have predators, (which are super smart). the violet sea slug uses a bubble raft to float close to the surface of the water. they have dark purple undersides which help them camouflage in the darker waters. sea slugs also eat the man-of-war, using a similar strategy, however!! they can also repurpose the stinging cells of their meal for their own self defense!!! the float on the portuguese man-of-war is partially filled with carbon monoxide. and was named after its resemblance to ships :D they also kinda just drift, riding the current with no means of propulsion

☆ jimin: flower hat jellyfish

flower hat jellyfish are pretty, and so is jimin. need i say more

(again they’re technically not jellyfish despite the name, they’re classified as hydrozoa). flower hat jellyfish usually live close to the sea floor with kelp and sea grass. they’re native to small areas of the western pacific ocean with smaller groups individually scattered elsewhere. they prefers moderate moderate depths and warmer temperatures :D they mainly feed on varieties of small fish, where most will occasionally consume small marine invertebrates which they’ll scoop from the ocean floor!! they’re actually quite powerful predators who don’t have many predators of their own however, they have been known to consume one another :(

okay that’s all thank you for reading !!!!

[abysswalkersknight]

This one is probably my oldest twst WIP. Pretty much I wanted to try my hand at a darker Silver while still keeping to his normal personality, that and my sibling wanted me to try something with Octavinelle and this clip. And just a warning... this was not edited.

Enjoy!

..................

‘Place all of your valuables in here, please.’

‘Wh-what?!’

Posed elegantly behind his polished desk, Azul rubs the space between his eyes with an irritable sigh, praying to the sea witch for even an ounce of patience. What was he thinking, having the silver haired Diasomnian do this to repay his debt, I should have just had him work in the lounge like everyone else.

Alas the fault lies with him, after advising the second year during halloween Azul was ecstatic at having a student from the infamous Diasomnia indebted to him, oh all the tantalising trade negotiations and contracts he could have wormed its inhabitants into! And having thought that a guard of the Malleus Draconia would naturally prove to be a formidable bouncer, perhaps someone who could even match with Floyd when Jade isn’t around, but instead all Azul got was this overly nice, air-headed fool who hadn’t the slightest sense of intimidation at all! Perhaps I struck too low with this one, I may need to raise the stakes to get into a contract with The Draconia prince. 

Incidentally, Silver waited patiently and held out the bag that Jade had so graciously given him towards the confounded fool who thought he could run from his debts. 

Usually it would be Azul who’d personally settle the score with his clients, but in his greediness he foolishly gave the task to Silver to test out the human’s capabilities, which were currently lacking at best. At least he still had Jade around to keep a close eye on things while Azul was forced to watch miserably from the side.

The Diasomnian’s warm auroral gaze peered earnestly into the anxious student’s eyes ‘Since you have failed to repay what you owed in money it is only right that you must pay with something of equal value’ Silver says matter of factly, shaking the bag for emphasis ‘though preferably with whatever valuables you already have on your person or whatever goes in Octavinelle.’ The student stares at him with a tense uncertainty, unsure of what to make of this new “employee” of Azul’s, normally the silver haired beauty was found at Malleus Draconia’s side or walking the hallways with Diasomnia’s vice housewarden, he was certainly less… intimidating than the Leech twins. Speaking of, a little aways from them, Floyd listlessly peels himself from the luminescent aquarium wall which appeared to be slowly crowding with schools of brightly coloured fish and mosied over to drape himself dramatically backwards on the sofa, right next to an unfazed Silver’s head, and lightly flicked the human on the side of his head with a huge voracious grin plastered on his face ‘Ha ha, silly Jellyfish, you're doing it all wrong you have ta’ scare ‘em more’ he cheerfully trills. Then, still upside down, he stares directly at the fidgety student with those piercing mismatched eyes ‘isn’t that right, little fishie?’ the Leech asked, the dull blue light from the aquarium illuminated those razor sharp teeth which grinned at them. When the student suddenly stutters and stammers and doesn’t answer, that shark-like grin fell into something far more vicious, similar to Silver’s wolf friends as they stalk their prey. ‘I asked you a question, fishie’ Floyd growled, fingers twitching.

The student yelped fearfully and nodded so fast Silver worried that they might have hurt their neck. And like a switch being flipped, Floyd instantly returned to his usual lazy grin ‘see? Just like that, now you try Jellyfish,’ he tells Silver with a surprisingly soft slap to his arm. ‘Hmm, well I suppose I could try as my father has said to use similar methods in negotiations’ Silver murmured aimlessly, though hesitation was written all over his features, did he say they were for negotiations or interrogations? Malleus says there's hardly a difference but…

Next to the table Jade gracefully stood from Silver’s right, smiling to himself as he chuckled gleefully ‘why yes Silver, your father certainly sounds like a wise man and if I may contribute. If you see there are no forms of immediate payment, be sure to negotiate other options that may be paid forthwith, in these circumstances it doesn’t matter how arduous your terms may be,’ the elder twin advised, sparing the quivering student an amused glance ‘as per the contract says of course, we are on a timeframe after all.’

Still at his desk, Azul resisted the urge to bury his face in his hands and groan in misery like some uncouth moron. This was utterly ridiculous, how could he have ever thought that entertaining a proposal from those damn eels was a good idea! Those sadistic slimy pool noodles relish in seeing him suffer!

Of all the things Azul could have forgotten it just had to be the twins' odd infatuation with the silver haired human, it was near insulting how the twins were as reeled in by the second year’s knightley charms as the wildlife were (namely those pesky aquarium fish), Silver practically had them wrapped around his pretty little finger! 

To be honest that wasn’t the most comforting thought as Azul remembers how Jade and Floyd sometimes stumble upon their fellow second year whenever they ‘find’ him dozing around campus and think it would be a brilliant idea to snatch him up and drag him back to the Mostro Lounge whenever they pleased (really Azul never had the energy to ask why they preferred to shove the sleeping diasomnian into a giant potato sack and over their shoulders). It always drove the housewarden into near cardiac arrest whenever he’d hear the twins snarling at each other the moment they barge through the Lounge’s mirror, bearing needle like teeth at each other as they all but brawled for the bag, ignorant of their delicate cargo inside which pierced adrenaline through the suave Housewarden’s chest every time a tuft of silver hair so much as peeked out of the bag’s edge, it was just as if the three of them were still living beneath the coral sea and either twin didn’t want to share a certain snack or toy. While the two grappled, it was up to Azul to make sure that not a scratch was left on the human who slumbered peacefully throughout the whole ordeal, not out of any misguided affection mind you, but because that wretched Diasomnia has made it abundantly clear of what their housewardens will do should anything happen to this particular student of theirs, the dealer felt a shiver fall down his spine as he recalled back in his first year the last incident where some foolish Octavinelle students thought to rope Silver into a particularly nasty deal. He could still smell the acrid scent of burnt clothing and hair from that day.

Suddenly, Azul was pulled from his musings as the very air around them felt as if it fell by several degrees. Turning back to the group he raised an eyebrow as the silver guard now read from a small stack of papers Jade must have just given him, judging from the faint signature and beautifully yellowed paper, Azul recognised it as being the client’s contract. Silver leaned back on the sofa, one leg languidly crossed over the other while his head rested against his free hand. The human’s expression remained eerily impassive as he skimmed the contracts elegant handwriting, not a single muscle shifted other than a raised eyebrow ‘hmm, how terrible to have run into such misfortune, well then, first order of business I must commend the effort you have pulled together to avoid this meeting’ Silver hummed after a moment of heavily tense silence. The second year’s lips twitched at the corners upon seeing the client’s seat being the only thing keeping their trembling knees from buckling when those wicked, gleaming eyes fell down upon them ‘though unfortunately now we must abide by the contract, by any means necessary or so I’ve been told’ Little by little in the dim blue lighting of Octavinelle, something cold and piercing slowly began to devour and fill that warm knightley gaze, as if one had melted all the light in the room until nothing but darkness remained. For a moment Azul had to blink and fix his glasses, he was not expecting that. Was it something all of Diasomnia could do? He had to find out, this could be a golden opportunity to finally profit off those damnable drama queens! The brightness had fled the lounge, even the twins had ceased in their awful teasing and only watched the proceedings with hungry eyes.  

‘Thus I must repeat myself; put all your valuables in the bag.’  No protests were made this time as sorry little trinkets and whatnots were haphazardly tossed into the bag. Silver gave it the most unimpressed frown he could manage as the bag jingled mid air, even the sound of its contents were deplorable ‘hmm, I’ve seen better’ he murmured dryly ‘and this is everything?’ another meek nod, pathetic really, even the lowest of palace servants had better offerings ‘what about that watch? That seems very valuable, gold I believe it is, and not the fake kind’ after all Lord Malleus made certain that his guards knew the difference between a fake and the real thing. The client’s hand swiftly clamped over that alluring shine ‘I-I-I can’t, it belonged to my grandpa!’ they whimpered, shrinking even further as Silver was unmoved, he tilted his chin up slightly and glanced down at them ‘that is none of my concern now, is it? You should have thought better than to fall so whimsically into a deal then’ he sighed touching his fingers to his forehead ‘though again, you were one of those foolish three hundred students who thought they could gamble their way through finals so perhaps logic is beyond you. Nevertheless I believe there can be a way we could work around this predicament’ Silver then leaned forward, hands clasped between his knees.

‘If you refuse to offer up the watch, you may offer your memories of it instead’

‘What?’

Grinning peculiarly, somehow the silver human’s very presence suddenly enveloped the whole room, the very air became frigidly cold, Azul was no longer there behind his desk with his greedy, expanding grin, ecstatic at the second year’s regal performance. The twins weren’t caging them in from the sides anymore, figuratively licking their teeth at the prospect of playing with a new toy. 

‘Allow me to explain; instead of giving up your precious watch which you say was given to you by your grandfather, I will be gracious enough to allow you to give all your memories of it in its place. Every memory which makes it special to you, that should make a fair exchange.’

Either way you will part with the watch, went unsaid but was clear in their minds, even if the client gave their memories it will turn the watch into that, an ordinary watch with no personal value. And the client somehow figured this out.

‘That’s not fair, it’s just the same result with different methods!’ they yelled all of a sudden, putting on a show of bravery, but that's all it was, a show. 

‘It's not fair?’ The expression on Silver’s face shifted, locking everyone, including Azul and the twins in place. It was an expression that demanded naught less than fear, submission and perhaps even worship. It was a look that told the weak to bow until their heads grazed the dirt, eerily similar to a certain housewarden. ‘You do understand that you are to serve Octavinelle until your graduation, right? And you wanted to modify your terms of the contracts so we must find something of equal exchange. What you have offered is miniscule to what is required and your only saving grace is the value of that watch or your memories, I’m just giving you the less painful option, so make your choice now’ 

The Octavinelle housewarden was ecstatic. Maybe he needn’t look for another potential pawn in Diasomnia after all…

—

‘After a little more persuasion they finally handed it over and we concluded negotiations’ Silver recounted, shivering in his seat ‘ugh, I’ve never felt so cold blooded before, it felt awful’ across from him, the small fae crooned sympathetically then chuckled with the soft clink of a teacup settling on its saucer ‘oh my dear boy, if it's any consolation I believed you did wonderfully despite your disapproval, truly Malleus has taught you well.’ Lilia jumped in surprise as brightly green thunder suddenly clapped and flashed around the Diasomnia dorm

‘Almost a little too well if you ask me, what in twisted wonderland could have gotten that boy in a tizzy?’

Silver looked out the window a little sheepishly ‘ah, I suppose that’s on me, apparently after negotiations Azul wanted me to work for him full time but I politely declined as it collided with my duties toward Lord Malleus’ he spied a little glint of glass hidden within the bushes ‘and it seems they are still in pursuit to recruit me’ Lilia chuckled good heartedly while covering Silver’s eyes as a flash of lighting hit the bushes directly. Maniacal laughing followed as both Floyd and Jade leapt out with little bits of smouldering ash burning in their hair ‘my they sure are persistent,’

‘Fools! Idiots! You dare try to claim what is already mine, I shall burn you to cinders!’

2am though process here, forgive me for misspellings or stupid thoughts:

(Fairy AU)

Y’know how with sharks(?) if you flip them upside down they just… freeze? (Forgot what it was called)

If I were to just… flip Lunar… would he just buffer either out of confusion of what just happened or because his world was suddenly flipped upside down and he needs to process what the hell just happened?

And for SK AU (because I’ve been neglecting them for whatever reason): what activities do Sun and Moon like to do when they’re regressed??

No, none of the fairies suffer tonic immobility XD but it would be a little funny. He'd be very confused for a few seconds before immediately trying to swipe at what's got him flipped around, haha!

as for the SK boys and what they do when they regress, I've covered this in a previous ask! you can also check out the #age regression tag on my page :3

[hugsandchaos]

Credit to the smart @g1ggl3-c4t for the lava lamp belly idea, it was one of the greatest things I’ve ever read and was immediately compelled to write something about it! It took me longer than I would’ve liked to get everything organized, but it’s done!

I wrote this with the Earthbound AU timeline, just in case you get confused. I think about it so often and yet I have so little stories about it. I hope you like it!

V flipped another page in her book and adjusted the reading light next to her so she could see a bit easier. There were large black curtains next to her, but she couldn’t move in front of the window and open the curtains for light since it was still sunset and she couldn’t allow any heat into the cool room. There was a bit of other light in here, but it wouldn’t be enough. That light was from the shirtless drone laying down next to her, one arm covering his belly and the other laying behind his head. Luckily, V was allowed to bring a reading lamp with her into the otherwise fairly vacant room he occupied, so she was able to read happily while she passed the time with him.

V originally came in to check on him because it was early autumn, which meant that the temperatures were starting to get lower than the previous summer, but N was still overheating quicker than in the winter. James wanted someone to stay with him every now and then throughout the day to make sure that he was alright and be there to help him get oil when he needed it, and V volunteered to do so a few hours before the sun began setting. She was allowed to bring a book, a light, and a blanket with her, but was otherwise told to remain quiet so the nocturnal drone could sleep. The heat also explained why he was currently only wearing pants and not his usual coat. It was surprising, though, that his core ran so fast and produced enough heat for him to need his room to be at a cold temperature constantly. Soon enough, though, when the temperature dropped and her friend woke up, he’d put his coat back on.

The room wasn’t just a little cold without the blanket, it was also fairly empty. There wasn’t much compared to the rest of the manor. The room was shaped sort of like and L flipped upside down, except the “stem” of the letter would be shorter, and used to be an old guest bedroom that just never got upgraded. It consisted of a window with thick black curtains to block out light and heat from the sun outside on the wall furthest to the door, a bed against the right wall near the window, a small nightstand, and a rug that only covered most of the room while the far left of the room was wooden floors and practically zero wall decor. After N was brought to the manor by James, there wasn’t exactly room for him in the worker drones’ current living quarters — a problem he’s trying to fix —, so he was allowed to use this one. Plus, he didn’t have much experience socializing with complete strangers and ended up scaring a bunch of the other workers, so no one complained about this arraignment. Currently, N was laid dawn on his back in the far left part of the room to avoid any heat from the carpet, so V was sitting next to him while reading. Given how quiet it is, she’d most likely notice anything happening to him.

V’s eyes continued to scan the page as her mind visualized what was being written.

“Vesper!!!” Stillness called out. The usually dark and uncaring villain yanked his arms out of Soundwave’s grip and made a dash towards the cage carrying the shark-dog hybrid. Upon hearing his voice, Vesper perked his head up from the tightly curled up ball position he was in to hide himself and searched for the source. Stillness reached his cage in seconds, dropping out and wrapping his arms around it, but then cried out in pain and recoiled from the electric shock. He still knelt in front of the hybrid creature with a mixed look of relief and worry. Vesper opened his mouth and began crying again, both out of fear for his own safety and his superhuman’s safety.”Shh, shh! It’s okay, buddy! I’m right here, and I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to get you out!” Stillness said.

Soundwave finally caught up to him and began trying to grab his arms again, but Stillness punched him.”No! Let go of me!” He yelled angrily. Vesper wailed and stood up, snapping his jaws and stomping his front feet anxiously. Sensing his hybrid companion’s stress, Stillness turned around while still trying to wrestle his way out.”Don’t worry, Vesper!” He said.

“What are you doing? Why are you talking to the hybrid like that?” Soundwave asked.

Before V could continue reading, she noticed from her friend next to her and looked up from her book. The five semispheres on N’s head were starting to come on, which was a sign of him wake up. They flickered once or twice before they all blinked at once, showing that the systems they were a part of were up and running, and a pair of closed eyes appeared on N’s screen a second later. He didn’t open his eyes just yet, and instead lifted both his arms up to stretched them. He stretched his legs out too, then rested them in the same position as before. Finally, he opened his eyes and noticed V sitting next to him.”Oh, hi, V! Good evening!” N said, greeting her as if it was actually morning.

A small smile made its way across V’s face as N sat up.”Good evening, N. The sun is still out, so if you want to just stay here, that’s probably a good idea.” She said, pulling the blanket back onto her shoulder right after it started to fall off. It might be warm or a “regular room temperature” for N, but she was cold without the heated blanket.“Oh, okay! Uh, you mind staying though? Just to be around?” He asked. He seemed a little nervous asking, but V couldn’t really tell why. This isn’t the first time he’s requested to simply not be alone, and it wasn’t like staying for the rest of her “shift” would be a bother.“Of course.” V replied. N’s tail thumped lightly against the floor, then he laid back down on his back against the chilly wooden floor.“Thank you.” He said. As he laid back down, he crossed his arms behind his head and close both of his eyes to relax for a bit longer. Instead of going back to her book and continue reading (even though it was getting good and Stillness being a good dad to his shark-dog-pup is so wholesome-), V couldn’t help but wonder if she should ask something that’s been on her mind for a while.

She briefly glanced from the pages down at her friend, specifically at the dimly glowing yellow liquid and slowly moving bubbles in what appeared to be his belly. There were plenty of things that were different in his physical design compared to literally every other drone in the building, from his legs and feet, to his long tail, to his arms, and even his head was a little different! But what confused V the most was his belly. It looked a lot like something that used to be created long ago as night light in children’s bedrooms, or just to look nice. She’s seen the pictures from Tessa and James. His belly resembled something called a “lava lamp”. No, it didn’t have actual lava (as far as she knew). It wasn’t made of glass or plastic, but it was definitely clear. Otherwise, V wouldn’t be able to see the liquid moving around in there. She didn’t understand why his belly was like that, but she also didn’t understand a bunch about him. For a bit, she thought it was a little weird that she was curious about someone’s belly, but then again, she was wondering about why pretty much all of his limbs were built the way they were and N seemed okay with answering those questions. He even told her to ask any questions she had and he’d try to answer them the best he could, so in that moment, V decided that now was the time she was actually going to ask.“Hey, N?” She piped up. N opened both eyes and turned his head to look at her.”Yes?” He answered.

“I hope this doesn’t sound rude,” V removed her right hand from her book and reached out to N’s belly, ”but what’s with the belly?” She asked. She poked and lightly stroked his belly to emphasize her point. The contents inside were disturbed and moved away from her fingers, and whatever was holding it all in was surprisingly squishy and a little bit chilly. At the same time, N started laughing and sat up. V pulled her hand away and looked at him slightly surprised that he had laughed like that. N cleared his throat.“That’s a good question. I’m not entirely sure to be honest, but I think it’s my main acid tank. That’s just a guess, though. The main thing I know is that whatever material they used to made the “case”, or my belly, is incredibly hard to puncture, but pretty flexible, so it makes it a little squishy.” He explained. V couldn’t help but think that didn’t explain why he laughed the way he did. It slightly reminded V of herself or others when they’re-!... V held back a smirk from forming. She closed her book and turned her body to kneel right next to him.“Alright. I have another question.” She said. N noticed the change and raised an eyebrow slightly in confusion.“Okay, go ahead.” He said.

“Does this tickle?” V asked. Without anymore warning, she reached one of her hand over to tickle his belly. It hardly took a second before N started to laugh again, but he didn’t really fight back. Instead, he just let her tickle him.”Pfft- Hahahaha!! Yehehehehes, ahahahaha lohohohohot!! Hahahahahaha!!” He said through his laughter. V’s innocent smile quickly turned into a more mischievous grin.”That’s good, because now I can get back at you for helping J tickle me!” She said.

“Wahahahait, whahahahahahat?! Hahahahahahaha!! Hahahahahahahaha!! Hahahahaha!! Hahahahahaha!!” N cackled and soon began to lightly push at V’s hand, but it wasn’t enough to actually move her hand away. Other than that, he didn’t make much movement to stop the tickling. V made a mental note of this just in case, but then she was right back to focusing in her revenge. Deciding one hand was way too nice, she put her second hand out and momentarily paused to poking and scribbling so she could grab both side of his belly and squeeze.”Wow, it really is kind of squishy.” She said, trying to tease him. N’s laughter briefly went up an octave and grew a little louder when she squeezed him, and his legs lifted up to protect himself, but he was already leaning back and using one of his arms for support.”And it seems to be your “happy button”. Let’s see how many times I can press it.” V said. She began squeezing his belly repeatedly, the cool material used for it squishing easily up her fingers. N threw his head back and his laughter went up an octave again.”Hahahahahahaha!! Hahahahahahahaha!! Nohohohot thehehe behehehehelly!! Hahahahahahaha!!” He said through his laughter. The contents inside his belly moved around as he laughed and V tickled him, the bubbles moving around inside.”Hmm, I think “yes, the belly”. It seems to be the perfect spot! In fact, I think I’ll take my time and draw on it a little.” She said. She then noticed something next to N, on the opposite side where she was. His tail was wagging, and definitely not in the way it does when he’s extremely mad. V slowed down the tickling and removed one of her hands while she used the other to trace shapes such as stars.

N’s laughter died down, but he was definitely giggling a lot from the slow tickling.”Hahahaha! Whahahat ahahare yohou drahahawihihing? Pfft- Hehehehehahahaha! ” He asked. V paused to lay down on her belly and continued tracing, using her free arm to prop her head up and act as if she was drawing on paper. Except she didn’t have a pen.”Oh, just random doodles. Stars, dogs, cats, hearts, lightning bolts, stuff like that. Please stay still so I can focus.” She said. N continued giggling as she traced her fingers on his belly.”Buhuhut ihihihit tihihickles! Hahahahaha!” N said. While V was doing this, she thought about her next move. Should she stop? She decided no, since her torture went on longer than this. So what should she do next? She’s already gotten back at J. What did J do that V could do to get back at N?

That’s when she got the idea.

V carried on the drawing act for a few more minutes before stopping and pretending to stretch like she was about to get up.”I’m a little hungry. Maybe I should get some food.” She said to “herself”. N’s tail slowly stopped wagging and V could’ve sworn he looked a little bit disappointed for a second before smiling.”Okay! I’ll just wait right here.” He said, keeping the last of the lingering giggles in. As V pretended to get up, pulling herself to her knees, N stretched as well and laid back down. Now he was basically asking for it! V seized the chance as he was laying back down and wrapped both arms around his abdomen. Her head now rested in the middle of his belly and he looked a little surprised and confused.”Uh, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to get food? If you wanted a hug before you left, you could’ve asked.” He said, trying not to let his growing nervousness show. He had a guess of what she was doing, but he kept thinking to himself that he could be wrong. V took in a deep breath and lowered her head down to lightly press her face against his belly. N realized that he was right in his guess, but it was too late.

“AAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEHEHEHEHEHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! VEEHEEHEEHEE!!!” N threw his head back and laughed loudly as his tail began wagging again. He lifted his legs and lightly stomped them against the ground as he squirmed from the sudden attack. V had her arms wrapped tightly around him, though, so he was pretty much stuck.”Yeah, I’m getting one of my favorite snacks! Raspberries!” V said before blowing another one against his belly. N let out another howl of laughter and hit the floor with a fist.”OHOHOHO MYHYHY ROHOHOHOBOBOBOBO-GOHOHOHOD, IHIHIHIT TIHIHIHICKLES SOHOHO BAHAHAHAD!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!” He said. He soon felt V’s fingers also begin to dibble and scratch at his sides, which weren’t nearly as bad as the raspberries, but it didn’t really help either. He looked over at V, who had a mischievous, evil grin on her face.”I think I’ll just have a few more.” She said.

“Wait, wait, wait, wait, wAAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEHEHEHEHEHAHAHA!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! NOHOHOHOHOHO!!! IHIHIHI’M SOHOHOHOHORRY!!! PLEHE—AAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEHEHEHEHEHAHAHA!!!” N stomped repeatedly against the ground and one of his hands was hiding part of his face while the other was busy hitting the floor. He laughed hysterically from the raspberries and squirmed around in futile attempts to escape, but V had a good grip on him and wasn’t going to let go until she delivered the third and final raspberry. She waited until he had calmed down a little to catch him off guard.”Okay, you’ve made your POINT — AAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YOHOHOHUHUHU WIHIHIHIN!!! YOHOHOU WIHIHIHIN!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” N cackled. V let go and felt pretty proud of herself. N rolled into his side and curled up to protect his belly as his laughter slowly died down to slightly tired breathing, and his tail slowed to a much more subtle wag. V went back to where she was sitting before and picked up her book.“Did you have fun?” She asked.

“No!” N replied. It wasn’t as convincing as he probably would’ve liked, and V thought it was pretty amusing.”Really? Because your tail was wagging the whole time and you never asked me to stop.” She said. She might not see it directly, but she assumed that by the way the wooden floor being ever so slightly more illuminated than before near N’s screen that he was blushing from embarrassment. V covered her mouth to prevent a small laugh from slipping out and embarrassing her friend further, then opened her book to continue reading.

Summary: Finn is in a kerfuffle, but not really

(Pls reblog and leave a comment ❤️)

Cookie

A blur of bubbles obscured Finn's vision, leaving him flailing blindly. His heart thundered in his chest, his stomach did flips, his head spun. Adrenaline pumped through his veins, leaving his pupils blown wide and every nerve on fire.

However, he was not afraid.

A nearby laugh, loud and crackly, caused Finn to right himself and try to shake off the lingering dizziness.

The world tilted sideways and fuzzed up, but even through his confuddled vision, he caught a blur of teal out of the corner of his eye.

Finn immediately lurched forward and collided with a body far larger and heavier than his own. They toppled backwards, doing an almost back flip in the water.

Clawed hands grabbed him by the shoulders and attempted to shove him off, but he doubled down until they crashed into the sand.

The water around them blurred as clouds of sand were launched into the air, and Finn wrapped his left hand around the other's neck.

"It would be so easy to strangle you now," He said softly, the tips of his claws pressing against teal skin. "But I know you'll probably just ask me to anyways, you bastard."

"Well, yeah." Floyd said with a shameless toothy grin. "Cause it's fun fighting ya. You never stangle me, though. Too much of a softy."

Finn's chubby face twisted into a scowl. "Excuse you, I'm perfe-"

He was cut off by something wrapping around his tail and yanking him upwards. His stomach churned as he was suspended above Floyd's head, and the world flipped upside down.

Floyd, holding Finn above him with his own stupid ridiculously long tail, laughed.

Finn crossed his arms and glared, wincing as blood rushed to his head. "And what's this about?"

"Ya look cute all pouty." Floyd sang, reaching up to gently squish Finn's cheeks. He was careful. Couldn't be too rough. His palm encompassed half of Finn's face, after all.

He pulled Finn down until he was lying on top of him, chest to chest. Their tails coiled around each other in an almost knot.

"I've gotta try hard not to squeeze you," Floyd murmured, stroking Finn's cheek. "You're so small. You'll probably just pop if I did..."

It was true! He was easily four times Finn's size. His tail coiled around Finn's several times and still stretched on along the sand. Cookie cutter sharks weren't known for their size, that's for sure.

"The disappointment in your tone worries me." Finn deadpanned, rolling his eyes. "I hope you don't secretly want me to pop."

"I don't want you to pop!" Floyd exclaimed, alarmed. "It'd be boring without you. I don't know what I'll do without my squishy, chubby, pretty cookie."

Finn barely suppressed a surprised squeak when Finn squeezed his sizable middle.

"Cookie." He weakly drawled. "How flattering."

"C'mooon, I know you like it when I call you that."

"Shut up."

"Make me."

Finn squinted at Floyd for a moment, then grabbed the back of his head and pulled him forward so their lips crashed together.

Floyd made a strangled noise of surmise and Finn grinned against his lips.

Floyd would shut up for now, distracted. Until he got bored, in which case Finn was happy to fight him again.

-End

⛈ ☂️ Peach Pit, 5- Long Season Through☂️ ⛈

• (Akura-ou x g/n reader x Tomoe)   • r a t i n g: m a t u r e • 1 5 2 3 w o r d s  •  p o s t e d 21.01.2024    🌧  navigation 🍑 previous chapter 🍑 next chapter • s u m m a r y: you're a peaceful farmer in the mountains during the sengoku period. someone starts stealing your peaches, and the thief turns out to be a chaotic oni, and the events that ensue flip your life upside down. • c h a p t e r s u m m a r y: an opportunity presents itself in annoying hues. TW: fire mention, (a copious amount of) alcohol(ism) (being ingested). .

The sound of a shovel hurling through the air and hitting a mound of mud made the birds in a three-hundred and sixty-shaku radius take off flying in a petrified haze. 

  Your mood was a rotten peach decaying in the mud. The amount of negativity surrounding you could summon a miasma. 

  You sat on the grass, hanging your head low. Last week had been tough. You didn't feel the same after what happened in the town. He stopped it, but he was so close to not. If not for your tears, everyone would've... 

  You pressed your hands into your temples. You focused on your breathing. Even writing hadn't gone well today, your strokes were lax and the words wouldn't flow. Neither did cooking go well. You ended up eating a ridiculous amount of bread and pickled plums. 

  You wouldn't need to eat for another century. And when you tried reading, your eyes and mind wandered far from the page. 

  A shadow obscured the dim sun. 

  You looked up. 

  A bold red shadow against the blue sky stood above you. Great. The last person you wanted to see. 

  "What do you want, oni?" You asked with a small voice, cracking throughout. 

  "Come with me, crazy human." He reached out a claw to you. It was framed by black, chrome feathers.

  You took it, and he lifted you easily. A soft reminder of his power. His hand was hot. 

  "Cool." You stood, waiting patiently for him to do some magic. 

  He rose a brow.

  "You're not going to argue with me?" 

  You shook your head. 

  "Take me away from this wretched place. I'm done." 

  After a delay, he smirked, flashing his razor-sharp shark teeth. 

  Instead of fog, everything swirled with black wind, like a thick smog that prompted you to cough. 

  You stood in a worn down castle, once abandoned but now lived in again, taken by force, made evident by the damage and odd decor. It was incohesive, cobbled together, the most expensive treasures and baubles someone had stuffed in corners and stuck on walls. 

  Akura kept walking. You tapped your foot in place. 

  "Huh? Aren't you coming?" 

  "Nah. I've decided to stay and rot here 'til I die." You smiled. 

  "I decide who rots and when in this castle. Move," He ordered.

  You didn't budge as he softly pressed on your back. Your sandals shuffled. 

  "Tomoe has your dagger. He's here. You could, you know, get it back." His hair ghosted over your neck. 

  Your eyes lit up, and you felt determination coming back to you. 

  "Really?" You began walking, his hand still on your back. 

  "Really. But don't think it'll be easy." He laughed behind closed teeth. You felt a chill run up your spine as his claws brushed your skin. 

  The castle was far from empty. It was filled with servants and goons of Akura-ou. You assumed that's what they were. Or maybe they were Tomoe's? 

  Your destination had been a large room with a few floor-to-ceiling windows and various tables. At one with three chairs, in the middle chair, sat Tomoe. Portuguese chairs, carved intricately. Such luxury. 

  Next to him on the table were several flasks of sake, sake cups, brushes, and... ink... and paper. How peculiar. 

  A sparkle. Your dagger was lying in his lap. His tail swung quickly. 

  "You're back quick." 

  The door closed loudly. It shook the walls. The room smelled of incense- standing in the other corner of the room- and... alcohol. And pine, and a subtle cherry smell. So much was going on, and your brain had trouble processing it, including the unusual spirits on either side of you. 

  "I don't like dragging things out."

  You plopped down in one of the other chairs, Akura-ou in the one opposite of you. 

  You inspected the table, glancing up at Akura and Tomoe with owlish eyes. 

  "You get your dagger if you win," Akura said, nodding over to Tomoe. His ears perked up. 

  "You and Akura-ou will drink undiluted sake until you're as drunk as can be. Then, you both will attempt to write [the kanji for] "melancholy rose". The one who manages to do so- will keep the dagger," Explained Tomoe. 

  Your joy faded as quickly as it came. 

  "Drinking with a yokai?! That's damn impossible!" You tangled your hands in your hair. Tomoe smiled. 

  "We'll see." Tomoe glanced to Akura, and their eyes met, smiles matched in mischieviousness, one face demonic, and one ethereal. 

  You inhaled. 

  You smiled smugly. 

  "Fine. I take your deal." 

  The first drink was a puppy. 

  The tenth was a hellhound biting off your head. 

  Some time after that you had stopped counting. 

  You groaned, hot face held in your shaky hands. The alcohol burned in your stomach all the way back up your throat. Your mouth had started to numb. You could see well enough, but your body was loose, and each movement seemed so much more broad and intense. You laid your head on the table. You kept feeling the fabric of your clothing with your fingertips. 

  Akura had a lightly flushed face and kept needlessly fixing his hair. You had an... uncontrollable urge to go for a run. And to knit. You never knitted. Or went for runs. 

  "How drunk are you?" Asked Tomoe, watching you with disinterest. Akura-ou flipped his hair, and it hung from his horns. He attempted to fix it, only managing to tangle another piece of hair on his golden disc earrings. He growled. 

  You tried to lift yourself. Your body was heavy. You huffed, clinging to your chair. 

  You gasped. 

  "Drunk... enough..." You sighed, folding over. Your hair obscured your vision. Akura-ou's eyes were glassy and squinting at a corner in the room. 

  You stared at him through your hair. 

  "How are you drunk? When you drank at the festival... you downed what seemed like bottle after bottle with no issue-" You forced out between breaths and nonsensical hums. 

  "I drank only.... a glass.... or two. The rest was... juice." He tried to lean back, almost falling and catching himself by gripping the table. 

  A screen was placed between you two. His horns still peeked out from behind. 

  You were given a brush, ink, and a piece of paper. You inhaled, trying to focus and pull yourself together. You only made yourself dizzier. 

  The melancholy rose kanji... the shapes were vaguely in your mind. One was like a chicken coup with a skewer on top. The other was like a wise old man squinting... or something like that. 

  You were thankful you had eaten a lot that day, as it seemed you were faster to sober up. Akura... by his shadow, it seemed like he wasn't writing at all, only swaying back and forth like a maple sapling in the wind. 

  You made your best guess with the parts of the kanji you remembered. You cringed. And empty page- a writer's worst nightmare. Shapes swirled before you and your world spun as you felt nausea rise in your throat. Your body felt weightless and you felt yourself floating away into a reverie. 

  You closed your eyes. A while ago you wrote something with those exact words. You audibly hummed as you thought and your face scrunched in frustration. You wished you could shove your hand into the deepest parts of your brain and retrieve the memory and slap it on the page. You bit your lip. 

  You opened your eyes. The page stared back expectantly. 

  "Don't look at me like that." 

  It didn't reply. You huffed, tapping your brush. 

  Your hand trembled as you dipped the brush into the ink, and set it down on the paper. If you never tried, you'd never win. And you couldn't miss the opportunity. So you steeled your nerves and wrote like you weren't drunk and being scrutinized by sly purple eyes. 

  You placed the final stroke, checking the writing. It was as close as you were going to get. You chewed on the inside of your cheek as sobriety came creeping up to you. 

  The screen was removed. 

  Akura was in the middle of falling asleep over what was... well, it could've been an abstract painting, it could've been an ink spill, it could've been a hallucination; it was many things- but it wasn't "melancholy rose". 

  You looked down at your paper. You hadn't fared too badly. 

  Tomoe's eyes widened. He banged on the table. 

  "Akura! That's abhorrent!" He pointed a grey claw at the paper. Akura ou hummed incomprehensibly in response. Tomoe stared at him with disappointment. They switched places. Akura was shoved out of his chair and into Tomoe's. He didn't seem to mind. He was in a place far away now. Rest in piss. 

  Tomoe sat down. He placed the dagger on the table. Your hand reached towards it. He spawned fire in his hand. You slapped it away. The fire faded. Tomoe looked surprised. 

  "I... HATE... fire," You mumbled angrily. You glared at him. 

  He tapped the table. 

  "I request a rematch, with me." 

  Tomoe poured another cup of sake. 

  Things were never as simple as you wanted them to be, huh?

No. 11 and the letter h for the prompt set?? With ClaudioNick?? Please???

(Hakfekfekfw when u forget the main thing you need to send kefkgwj)

Sharks in a Cage

So fun fact, I started writing this a few days ago and then my computer went kaput and I lost all of it. Attempt number 2! I went an...unexpected way to interpret the prompt. I hope that's alright!

Dialogue 11: “I’m tired, but I’m not that tired.” Scenario H:  Snowed in on a group trip oops now just two of us are stuck here another night

~

Nick yawns as he kicks at the door of the cage. The metal shudders as he looks down at the rest of his team and the BCC already in the rings. Claudio's eyes bore into him, and Nick is determined not to let it show that he's noticed. Nick yawns again as he glances across at the other shark cages, now almost all empty, hanging above the rings.

"Sleepy, Buck?" Claudio asks, hands gripping the bars of the cage. "Good. I can take you out first."

Nick scoffs. "Please. I'm tired, but not that tired. Jet lag and all that."

They bicker back and forth for a few minutes, until Matt and Yuta's alarms go off and the two of them charge each other once they climb their ladders down into the cage.

"Why did they add the shark cages this year, do you think?" Claudio asks, fiddling with the waistband of his pants. Nick intentionally doesn't look. "Gives additional drama?"

"I think it's to make sure none of us commit a crime where there's no cameras," Nick suggests. "Hey, I got an idea." He begins rocking back and forth, creating a bit of swing. "See? Now we can do something while we're stuck up here."

Claudio pales, just enough for Nick to notice. "I - I would rather not, thank you."

Nick grins. "What, you're not afraid of heights, are you?"

"Absolutely not!" Claudio retorts. "That would be Mox's territory. I'm more...I'm wary of swinging in poorly made metal machines above concrete."

"Oh, that's afraid of heights." Nick quickly assesses the bars of the cage and deems them appropriate. He climbs up so he can slide his legs around the ceiling bars, then falls so he can look at Claudio upside down. He's always felt at home here, like hanging on the monkey bars in elementary school while waiting for Matt's class to get let out. "This freak you out?"

"No. You're upside down, not me."

Nick wiggles his eyebrows. "Only 10 seconds before the doors open again. What if I slip?" He pretends to lose his grip, and laughs as he sees Claudio's normally stoic face shift to panic for the briefest second.

"This feels like sabotage," Claudio grumbles. He's so focused on Nick that he jumps a little when the horn sounds to unlock the door and allow them to climb down the ladder into the rings.

"Yeah?" Nick asks. He swings his body so he flips, landing on his feet. "This is Blood and Guts, baby." He winks, hand on the knob. "Get used to it."

Each whale shark’s spot pattern is unique as a fingerprint.

Whale sharks are the biggest fish in the ocean. They can grow to 12.2 meters and weigh as much as 40 tons by some estimates! Basking sharks are the world's second largest fish, growing as long as 32 feet and weighing more than five tons.

Blue sharks are really blue.

The blue shark displays a brilliant blue color on the upper portion of its body and is normally snowy white beneath. The mako and porbeagle sharks also exhibit a blue coloration, but it is not nearly as brilliant as that of a blue shark. In life, most sharks are brown, olive, or grayish.

Scientists age sharks by counting the rings on their vertebrae.

Vertebrae contain concentric pairs of opaque and translucent bands. Band pairs are counted like rings on a tree and then scientists assign an age to the shark based on the count. Thus, if the vertebrae has 10 band pairs, it is assumed to be 10 years old. Recent studies, however, have shown that this assumption is not always correct. Researchers must therefore study each species and size class to determine how often the band pairs are deposited because the deposition rate may change over time. Determining the actual rate that the bands are deposited is called "validation".

Sharks have been around a very long time.

Based on fossil scales found in Australia and the United States, scientists hypothesize sharks first appeared in the ocean around 455 million years ago.

Sharks can go into a trance.

When you flip a shark upside down they go into a trance-like state called tonic immobility. This is the reason why you often see sawfish flipped over when our scientists are working on them in the water.

Hope you enjoy these!

I LOVE YOU /P THANK YOU SHDUSBABABABAB WONDERFUL WAY TO WAKE UP

[kylejsugarman]

I’m here to encourage you to be annoying about Alaska AU. What’s Jesse and Demi’s typical date night look like? How well did he acclimatize to the cold when he first moved there? What is Jesse and Demi’s favorite fun ocean fact they learned from Baby?

🥺 i would genuinely be nothing without u leighanne.....their date nights usually aren't anything too fancy!! after all they're in a pretty small town and neither of them are like. cultured sophisticates (although jesse does slightly resent that he doesn't have the huge cache of liquid cash to splurge on her like he did for jane and andrea), so dinner with a glass of wine to get a little sillay and a movie or maybe a concert (during which they have their little mst3k running commentary going because they're Annoying) is the typical date night.

in terms of the cold, i absolutely think that one el camino outtake where jesse climbs out of the back of ed's truck and is like "what is this. what's all this snow, why's it so cold here" is canon. u just KNOW the extent of jesse's knowledge of alaska was whatever mike said and the second act of "the simpsons movie". he learns how to start a fire basically his first night there and is just getting by wearing his usual stupid amount of layers until someone is finally like "king. have u considered getting some Real snow boots." jesse eventually learns the ropes of hand warmers and de-icing his windshield and doing stuff while the sun's out, but i dont think he ever Truly adjusts to the cold. my man was built for a desert environment and is going to shake like a chihuahua in the alaska cold for the rest of his life

as for fun ocean fact time!! jesse's world is flipped upside down when he learns that sharks and rays can sense electricity down to one billionth of a volt. like he knows that they can smell blood and have sharp senses, but electricity?? baby happily explains their ampullae of lorenzini and how they use it to hunt and jesse's trying to listen, but in his head he's like "this is insane. that is so metal. do other people know about this??" as for demi, there are a lot of "ocean facts" she already knows just from studying biology and taking marine biology courses in school, but she always feigns surprise and interest when baby shares them. one she definitely didn't know was that a lion mane jellyfish's tentacles can grow up to 120 feet long and tbh that freaks her out a little bit. she'll be laying in bed at night and say "can u imagine being in the ocean and just seeing this giant mass of tentacles floating towards u??" and jesse will be like "stop ur freaking me out"

Why does Tsukasa likes sharks so much? 🤔🤔

Sharks are often mistakenly referred to as "King of the ocean" when they aren't actually on the top of the food chain. Killer whales actually prey on them. So yeah, faux kings.

Sharks also enter a trance when you flip them upside down. Some sharks drown if they stop swimming. If you pull some species of shark backward, you can effectively drown them. Tsukasa sends these facts to the Nightcord chat and goes "lmao they're just like me fr." (baseless)

It's just a hyperfixation don't worry about it. (fun fact tenma mom likes jellyfish and saki likes corals, tenma family ridiculous).

also blahaj :)

MerMay is right around the corner. I decided to participate in my own way. I'll try to use the prompts but I'll probably be way off. I want to draw and write oneshots, about Undertale Mermaids/ LeviathanTale.

I also want to share ocean/animal facts that I think are good world building for Mermaids/LeviathanTale.

-------------------- SHARKS-----------

1) About 60% of the shark species give birth to live young. This is called viviparity. Mako sharks, bull sharks, lemon sharks, and blue sharks are a few examples of sharks that are born live.

Baby sharks are called pups.

2) Shark eggs are sometimes referred to as mermaid's purses, and occasionally as Devil's purses. The egg usually houses one embryo, but in some species there are multiple embryos per egg case.

Shark species, oviparous (egg-laying) include:

Bamboo sharks.

Wobbegong sharks.

Carpet sharks.

Horn (bullhead) sharks.

Swell sharks.

Many catsharks.

3) When you flip a shark upside down they go into a trance-like state called tonic immobility.

4) A group of sharks can be called a few different terms. School, shiver, or frenzy. In some cases, the term “herd” may also be used. A shiver is typically made up of sharks that are the same species, while a school can include different kinds of sharks.

More research and observation needs to be done, but it appears that there is no hierarchy in the Shiver. Both male and female sharks will make up a Shiver. The younger sharks will tend to be in the center, this appears to provide protection for the young.

"A group of baby sharks is referred to as a “wriggle” or a “nursery”. "

5) Fun facts about The Origin of the Shark names

* Sharks used to be called "Sea Dogs." This was for a couple of reasons. Such as their resemblance to dogs, and hunting.

"The earliest example of a shark-like animal being named in such a manner came when English writer Richard Hakluyt referred to a sea dog as a “sharke” in 1599."

Some of the facts I found on this site.

I’ve always wanted to be a writer or any sort of content creator lol so I’ve finally decided to write something that’s not for an assignment, I kinda feel like the assignment writings were better but idk what do you think? Do you like it? What’s good about it And what can I improve?

Untitled boat story Part -1

Oh come on it won't be that bad!” She said with a flirty overtone. I couldn't possibly go with her or any of them for that matter, they're all too chaotic and adventurous. “I'm sorry but I think it just won't be safe enough for all 5 of us to be in one boat, it could tip or eve-”, she cut me off with a punch to the shoulder. “Like i said it will be FINE, if Jamie or Chuck try anything ill tell them to stop and you know Keith is harmless.”. “Ugh okay ill go but you guys gotta be careful.'' I groaned.

When we all reached the pier I was confused, there was no boat or anything. Jamie, Keith, and she was with me at the pier but I started to wonder where Chuck could've been. I started to ask she and Jamie but before I could even get a single syllable out we all bolted in sporadic direction hoping to escape whatever hellish sound is barreling towards us. A roar that engulfed the entire sky came crashing out of the trees behind us and were faced with a possibly worth fate then death itself, Chuck. Not just Chuck, Chuck with a heavy ATV vehicle and a boat attached to the back. “AHH HAHA That was priceless you guys are a bunch of pussies!”. Chuck hollered at us like a overgrown school bully. Jamie started laughing with him as keith just started collecting shells it seemed like the introductions have been made and i might be started to reget my decision. “Yea Okay assholes try something like that when were off at sea and you'll be dancing with jack ketch!”. Chuck and Jamie didn't seem to care but when She actually stook up for me i felt as if i had a chance to survive in this word for once.

“Alight maties!” Chuck spouted out standing tip of the boat. “Hey Keith you got what you need?”, “Yea Chucky hut I got sea shells to sell by the sea shore for sure!”, “Oh stop it you two we’ve waisted enough time” Jamie grabbed her bag that was in the sand and threw it into the boat showering her in some ground up pebbles. Which was quite therapeutic for me. “Well is the guest of honor ready?” She said while giving me a loose side hug. “Well id like to say i was born ready but i was born prematurely so i don't know!”, “Oh well thats charming.” She grabbed my han and guided me until we were in the back of the boat sitting down on these rather uncomfortable seats. Its like someone took a off brand lunch cooler and flipped it upside down calling it revolutionary. I dint even have time to joke about them with her coz Chuck revved up the motor and sped off like we were being chased by a sea creature. “Chuck chill out! Were here for a while no need to rush!” keith said enderily. “Why are you even going so fast?” “coz were being chased by a sea monster jamie!!!” “WHAT?!” everyone exclaimed. Panic around in the air like a virus spreading faster then electric current i spun in every direction trying to see if there was nay clue as to what could be hunting us, the i saw… a tiger shark. “Uh guys is that the sea monster in question?” i asked a bit nervous to speak, “Oh my god chuck! Are you serious” she yelled, “ I told you guys before we got on here not to do stuff like this!” “Girl its fine you gotta back off”, “No its not fine jamie!, im trying to expanded out friend group and you guys are just scaring them away! Remember why we gotta have a new 6th member right?” after she said that everyone got quite, they all slowed down like they were in a trance of some kind. She let out a deep sigh and said sorry them she and i went back to sit as the other three talked about the sea together.

“Hey you guys wanna pet this crab i found?” “Ew Keith no”, “ha i kinda do just coz shes too scared doesnt mean i am”. “Hell yea homie nothing like 2 and half hours of dead single from you too to show some character development”. “Where did you even get this thing man?” “oh it was just walking around and i picked it up and now here we are.” OH MY GOD GUYS” jamie's voice shrieked almost making chuck tip the boat. “Whats wrong babe?” chuck asked threw his stupid frat guy slur. “Theres like like an STD in my bag right now guys!” we all chuckled a but, she asked condescendingly “Jamie what are you talking about?” “just look!” jamie kicked her bag over and some sand poured out to the side making an almost aesthetic like scene . “I don't thing sane is a STD james” keith said while petting his crab. “Ugh Keith you have one!” jamie squealed and kicked her bag more. Just as she did 3 more crabs came out of Jamie's bag, each one larger than the last. Jamie screaming her head off jumped into chucks arms causing chuck to steer the boat uncontrolably to the right pushing all of us to floor and cornering us with the crabs. As Chuck is fighting to get control of th boat and his girlfriend Keith just starts talking to the crabs. “Heyya little buddy, i bet i got your friend huh? No worries come here.’”. Keith gently picks up all 3 of them and slowly lowers them to the side of the boat, “run along now little fella we've had our time, till we meat again.” Keith watched as the crab family scurried down the said into the sea, as he looked up into the horizon a tear fell down his face as if he was seeing the amazing life they all live together. “You're a sweet guy keith” I told him as he was whipping his face. “Yea maybe over here i am” he responded rather bleakly. “Oh my days!” Chuck shouted out grabbing all of our attentions. “That was harder then passing the ASVAB test” we all just stared even jamie who is panting on the floor still shaken from the whole crab experience. Shrugging off what Chuck said it seemed like the vibes have gotten better and the night might be better than the day was.

I js watched a broogli video n I got the idea to create my own backrooms level, cus it's fun n I wanna 🤷

Backrooms level 7810.

[Also known as, the glowing sea.]

The glowing sea is a class level (2). Safe, uninhabitable, stable.

Appearance:

The glowing sea is essentially a void of what looks to be outer space, in the distance you will be able to see stars similar to that of our own universe. You may even be able to identify some constellations if not a bit different.

When you get to this level you will find that you are practically standing on nothing, there is no floor if you look down, only more stars and the void.

The only thing peculiar about this level is if you look around you will be able to see numerous sea life.

Species of shark, schools of fish, and countless jellyfish and crustaceans, all in the following seem to be completely unaffected by their surroundings and look as if they're a figment of your imagination, blurry and translucent.

Despite no other sources of light around other than the stars you are able to see everything around you clearly as if there was light.

The glowing ocean is most likely infinite, no traveler has ever reached the end if there is one. But it is not impossible to navigate if you recognise the stars around you.

It is relatively safe here if you know how to handle the sea life and exit the level, it is however impossible to stay here for long, since there is absolutely no food, and, the sea life is absolutely inedible, any and all weapons will phase through the creatures and therefore rendering it impossible.

Entities:

The aforementioned sea life are called phishes due to them being able to phase through objects.

They are relatively safe to be around if you avoid making too much noise and moving too much. They appear exclusively in this level.

It is unknown how they appear and what they eat, it is rumoured to be the stars but most likely false.

The fish like phishes aswell as the crustacean,and jellyfish phishes are in the harmless category. However the shark, orca, whale, and Dolphin phishes are more likely to try and come after you.

To avoid this, you must stay as quiet as possible and refrain from screaming and shouting too much. Walk as slow and appear as big as you can to discourage any bigger predators trying to harm you.

And if you are already being hunted here is what you should do, if you want to get out.

For the shark phishes, maintain eye contact and stay in one place, do not try and run away, it will only further encourage it. Instead, if it keeps approaching you, hold it by its snout and place a hand on its belly, and flip that mofo upside down!!! If you did it correctly, it should leave you alone.

For the orca phishes, however, they are much more dangerous and harder to deal with. they have extremely bad sight though, so take advantage of this and make as much noise in another direction. whether it be throwing an object or having your companion do it for you.

If the whale is a aggressive species, goodluck my guy, same thing as the orca though.

The dolphin phishes are much more smarter and agile. If anything just try and give it a hard, sucker punch in the snout, or gills.

Exits and entrances:

To enter this level you can find a glowing figurine resembling fish surrounding a star, and go to any space or ocean resembling levels, and throw it as far as you can. You will promptly white out and wake up on level 7810.

To exit you could get stung by a glowing, yellow, jellyfish. Or, you could walk as close as you can to a star and white out again. You will end up in a space or ocean related level.

Hehehahe silly shark, you can't go to space!!

Also broogli, if you see this Im a big fan and I'd be very happy if you included this in a video :']

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003)

With sequels comes the temptation, the perceived need for more.  A bigger impact to satisfy the itch.  The Cradle of Life is given the impossible task of coming up with a MacGuffin even more crazy than a triangle that can control time.  It makes a safe gamble with Pandora’s Box, rendering it in this interpretation the container for some sort of apocalyptic pathogen thing that of course some craze-o wants to access because bad guy.  So where else can it go?  What other options does a Tomb Raider movie have than to be more baderer.  We get more globe-trotting locations, even more egregiously unnecessary acrobatics—why just shimmy along a rope when you can flip over it repeatedly?  The cherry on top of it all is the awkward CGI.  Its predecessor was bad enough that the clunky pixellated idol looked charmingly like something straight out of a video game.  By a few years later, graphics were seemingly better and yet somehow all the worse for it.  Cradle of Life peaks early with the glorious image of Lara punching a flawlessly rendered shark in order to hitch a ride.  Does it take her longer to attract its attention than she rides it for?  Could she have just swum upward during that time?  Sure and sure, but you’re missing the point: she punches a shark.  Equally seamless are things like: Angelina Jolie definitely riding on the Great Wall of China.  Angelina Jolie daintily walking on top of terra cotta warriors that can carry her weight.  Angelina Jolie nonchalantly riding a neon sign that nobody notices until the last second.  Star Wars monsters attacking soldiers in a spooky forest.  Upside down rock caves.  And Ciarán Hinds getting turned into a muscle man.  Truly riveting stuff.  At least we had the romance between Lara Croft and Terry Sheridan to anchor us.  Never before have we seen two people exist in a room together with such… existence.  The never-explained vague past!  The kissy time!  The tragic turn at the end!  Move aside, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. 

THE RULES

SIP

Someone names a historical figure.

More unnecessary acrobatics!

Someone names a disease.

Ciarán Hinds checks his watch.

BIG DRINK

Someone says ‘orb’.  It’s a great word.

Awful CGI.
