Do you have any head canons for triangle strategy?

I have a small one that out of all House Wolffort, it’s Benedict who holds his liquor best. Erador tried to prove otherwise. He did not succeed.

Honestly that headcanon tracks, although Erador also gives me Olberic vibes when it comes to drinking so he's no lightweight either.

Aside from my age and height headcanons, let's see...I just sort of have a random assortment of headcanons with no clear organization, so I'll write a few out by character (also a few of these are based specifically in like, the post-golden route timeline; if you want the sad angsty post-any other route headcanons, I have a few of those too, but lets keep it light for now).

So we all know Serenoa is like, the wife guy who loves his wife so much, but I think he does the whole Maes Hughs thing as well, like I know photographs don't exist per se in this world, but he definitely carries around a little portrait of Frederica in a locket, and any kids eventually too, and shows them off any chance he gets. He is so excited to spend time with Frederica, like yes, he's a responsible lord first and won't skip out on important meetings and stuff, but he'll also book it home first chance he gets I'm sure.

Speaking of Frederica, she ends up making an excellent Lady Wolffort, and is able to handle the duties of managing the demense just as aptly as Serenoa is. The two make a fantastic team, and the people of Wolffort love them immensely.

Despite both being like, the rulers of their respective countries, I'd like to think Svarog sort of takes a vaguely surrogate dad approach to Roland at times, giving him bits of advice and helping him out, especially since Roland never got any proper like, king-training from his own dad, but also because Svarog radiates huge "do you need a dad, I will be your dad" energy with how doting he is on Frederica and how much he loved Dragan, and also taking Avlora in, and just, how gently he talks to Roland when they become allies on the golden route.

Benedict is a mess to deal with as a character in terms of figuring what's going on in his head, but given his ah, many issues, I don't think he ever really felt worthy or like, didn't feel like he deserved to be Anna's father, even though he took raising her very seriously. It isn't until Anna sits him down and talks about what she'd learned about her parents from Erador and like, really talks with Benedict about the subject, that he's able to allow himself to truly express how much he cares for her as a daughter and how proud he is of her. (If I had the time and energy to comb through all the in-game text to really get into the characters heads, I'd really want to write a fic following Anna's life, and also getting the resolution between her and Benedict hinted at in her second character story, I just, love Anna a whole lot and want to learn and know more about her life).

Geela gets to open that school of hers after the war, and by the time she's retiring it's a world-renowned academy. She still somehow ropes Hughette into teaching courses despite Hughette's role as head of the royal guard.

Erador and Hossabara aren't romantically involved, but after the war and reconstruction efforts they do develop something of a deep platonic bond.

Corentin invents refrigeration. Norzelia gets magical refrigerators before it gets fantasy automobiles or anything like that. His research into ice magic for non-war efforts leads to the invention of many other things, like fantasy air conditioning.

Once she learns Serenoa's her half-brother, Cordelia makes regular visits to the Wolffort demense to build that familial connection, but she also kicked Roland for taking so long to tell her.

Archibald and Groma get to actually talk and learn that each is the person the other was searching for, and eventually settle down together running a nice little tea shop. I am here for old people finding love and peace together.

Well...this got a bit longer than I intended, but suffice to say, I do have all sorts of weird little headcanons floating in my head at any given time.

#I don't even think this is all of them I just wrote what I could remember from glancing at the characters list #thanks for the question though I still love TS a lot even if I haven't been talking about it #(there is an incomplete draft on how Anna and Avlora are narrative mirrors I swear I'll finish it one day)#but anyhow it was good to talk some TS after so long!#alynnl #triangle strategy #I still don't have an ask tag

OC Questions!

So I went through @random-oc-questions-fairy's The Fairies Question Book because it was linked in the pinned post and also I have nothing better to do right now.

So here are some OC questions- I picked my favorites- about Enna Helder-Kromlin.

1. If your character could sum up all of their experience into one piece of advice, what would it be? Why would they pick this piece of advice?

"Don't abandon your siblings." Enna did with Zibra and he got poisoned by our uncle. She left Anne alone for two decades and she started a civil war within Oleski, ran away- Anne claims it was a tactical retreat- and got herself kidnapped and nearly sacrificed by a necromancer.

2. Does your character have a good memory? What is their earliest memory? What do they think of this memory?

Enna doesn't have the best memory but her earliest memory is Pike singing Enna, Anne, and Mae a lullabye when they were four or five and Mae was around ten. There'd been a small earthquake from Mt. Doom and they had all thought the volcano was going to explode and doom us all. That was before she knew there was a dragon living there. It was to the tune of the music box Pike's grandfather had made. Enna still has it, somewhere.

3. What does your character most regret? Even if it would change who and where they are now, would they travel back in time and change what they regret? Why or why not?

Enna most regrets never knowing her mother. If she could travel back in time she would, but not to change it. She would just hang around her mother for a day. Even if she never talks to Jennifer Kromlin she would just want to be around her.

4. What’s your character's full name? Is there a story behind their name (either in-universe or OOC)? Does their name have any meaning?

Enna Marie Helder-Kromlin. Enna is a mirror of her twin's name. Anne=Enna. Enna=Anne. Marie is the middle name she took after she made up an identity called "Marie" who she pretended to be during her 20s and 30s. Long story. Helder-Kromlin is the name of the woman who raised her, Pike Helder, combined with the name of the woman who should have raised her, Jennifer Kromlin. Kromlin isn't Jenn's maiden name, it's the last name of the identity her father took when he courted her mother. Jenn's actual last name was Dragonwing. Not that Enna or Anne properly know that. Kromlin is also the last name of her brother, Zibra Kromlin. The entire thing is a tribute to her heritage, to her family, and to her past.

5. Does your character have a good relationship with their parents? Are there any parental figures that aren't related to them in their life?

Well her dad is an immortal angel who she didn't meet until she was 43 and has only seen three times since. And her mum was murdered 17 hours after the twins were born, murdered by the twins uncle, the twin brother of the twin's mother. So no?

Pike Helder was a parental figure; she's the woman who raised Enna. Grandfather (See: Founder of Halmire, SIlver Dragon, Raises orphans whose parents can never be found, whatever that means) had been a parental figure since she met him when she was 41. He raised her mother and her adoptive mother, he is essentially her grandfather.

6. Give a general description of your character's appearance! How tall are they? What’s their eye color? Hair color? What is their most defining feature?

oh this is fun.

Enna Helder-Kromlin is a half-Elven 'Angelsblood' of medium height. She has pale blue skin that is marked by thin scars, varying in length from 1 to 5 inches, along her back, neck, arms, and torso. She has short blue-black hair and large gray wings tipped with blue feathers, giving her flight and around a 14 foot wingspan. Blue eyes with gold flecks.

7. If your character had access to all modern songs (or, at least, the ones you have access to ;D), what do you think would be their favorite song?

So from the Hamilton soundtrack: Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story?

But from stuff other than that: 'Til the Last Shot's Fired by Trace Adkins. I don't know why, it just speaks to me as her song. No matter what Enna has done, no matter what wrongs and rights she'll commit; Enna will stay on the battleground until the last shot is fired.

Canada bros

The boyz 12th member

Mae’s masterlist

“The one where Kevin met Mae and a little glimsp of her life as a trainee”

a/n: Feel free to share your thoughts with me. Requests are open! 🧡

Dropping her body on the floor, Mae leaned against the wall as she took deep breaths and grabbed the water bottle from Sangyeon’s extended hand.

The feeling of her entire body burning and the lack of oxygen in the room made it completely confusing to her as to how the other trainees were still standing even after the instructor had told them to take a break.

Sitting next to her, Jacob patted the empty spot on his side and waved for the new boy to sit with them just as the girl sighed complaining “I might throw up”

“My legs are burning” Kevin laughed awkwardly, kneeling on their side and Mae nodded, aware that he probably didn’t hear her comment but had no energy to repeat herself.

“Slowly you’ll get used to it,” Jacob said with a somewhat uncertain smile which led the girl to laugh with the little energy she had left. “Stop it” He nudged her with his elbow and Mae shook her head.

“Sorry, I’ve just been waiting for it to get better since day one”

“We’ll get through it” Patting her on the back, Jacob nodded before clearing his throat and turning back to Kevin “So, which part of Canada were you from?”

Closing her eyes and fully letting her body limp, Mae could almost feel herself falling asleep as the many voices filled the room. Also, mentally saying to herself that she might have to cling to Eric now that her designated friend was too interested in another person that must also admire maple trees, hockey, or whatever stereotypical stuff people associated with Canadians.

She didn’t really have time to question her random train of thought before the teacher was back in the room telling them to go stand in place. Opening her eyes, Mae was met with the normal sight of Jacob’s extended hand, who hadn’t stopped his conversation with the new kid but also didn’t ignore his usual ritual of helping her get up.

Walking a few steps to her usual spot next to Sangyeon, who acted more like a silent caretaker than the usual trainee, the girl half-assed some already light stretches as the song started a few counts ahead of what they had practiced.

“You’re doing well” Sangyeon turned giving her a thumbs up once the class was nearing its end but all she could pull was a breathless smile, supporting her hands on her knees to watch the teacher going off about putting more energy into the moves. Patting her back he repeated himself “You’re improving a lot, let’s keep going”

“Everybody needs to stop talking about debuting material because I don’t think I’ll ever be debuting material” The girl sighed once the lesson was done and the room was nearly empty. Throwing her body on top of her backpack, she hugged it and hid her face in her arms as the older boy patted her back once again.

“Look, you arrived just in time for the weekly Minkyung break down” Eric joked to Kevin as they, as well as Jacob, approached her making the girl raise her head to show him she was rolling her eyes.

“Small progress is still progress, right? I think I read that somewhere” Jacob laughed awkwardly, sitting on the ground to both rest his legs and also pat her head. Mae wondered if they thought she was a dog because of the amount of patting going on.

“Did you see that on a Tumblr blog or something?” Kevin awkwardly chuckled, hopping his joke would land right and some of them gave him confused smiles “Nothing, forget about it”

“The only part of training you’re struggling with is dance, there’s nothing wrong with that” Sangyeon shook his head ignoring them speaking in English, and returned his attention to the girl “And you’re much better than you were last month. To be honest, you’re not half as horrible as you say you are”

“I’m not keeping up with the rest of you, that's the problem. And my entire body constantly feels like it’s been crushed by a tractor” Mae whined rolling on the ground and stopping with her back on the floor. “But I can’t stop right now because I’ll be long behind for anyone to even help”

Looking between her and Kevin, Jacob felt a little bad the boy had to see her this down on his first day, especially considering he knew she would be up and trying again the next morning. Yet, he didn’t really know how to find him a way out without coming off as rude to her.

“Do you want to go rest, maybe?” He asked her hoping it would make things better and getting a small “No” as an answer.

“I’m staying to study, you can go and we’ll return to the dorms together” Eric nodded pointing to his backpack. Sangyeon, Jacob, and Eric gave him a thumbs up before leaving.

Hearing the door click, Mae sat up while massaging her thighs while watching the boy sitting next to her “You’re not going to study, are you?”

“Vocal evaluations are coming up, I’ll work on them not school” He chuckled pulling out his phone “Want to help me with it?”

“Sure,” The girl sighed, crossing her legs and slumping a little while also warming up her voice.

The next day, Mae did her usual online work during the morning in a little empty room they had separated for classes, since most of the younger kids went to presential school she was the only one who occupied it full time.

The three little knocks around lunchtime usually indicated that the trainees were done with the schedule for the morning and had a little break to eat. Though, that time only one knock was delivered and the door cracked open a bit to show Kevin’s head.

“Oh thank God, I was so scared this was the wrong room” He sighed, relieved and a little embarrassed while excusing himself in. “Jacob told me this was a quiet place to have lunch but he got stuck on the cafeteria so I’d figure you wouldn’t want yours to be cold by the time he got here”

Noticing the two containers in his hands, the girl was quick enough to grab her papers and shove them to the side, nodding for him to sit on the table with her.

“Thanks for bringing it here. Just be careful not to spill anything because the fault will most likely go on me” Giving him a small smile, she took out one of the food boxes and placed it in front of her.

“You’re not a fan of failing are you?” The comment fell out of his mouth before Kevin could stop it and the girl looked at him with wide eyes “I’m sorry. Oh, my bad. I didn’t mean it like that”

Seeing him grow slowly embarrassed, Mae couldn’t help but giggle entertained by his antics, and shook her head “I guess I’m not” crossing her legs on the chair, she shrugged “I can be a bit of a people pleaser sometimes, but I didn’t think it was that visible”

“It’s not. The two situations we were in just kind of aligned with that” He chuckled opening his own box and giving her a kind smile “But I mean it’s fine. Aren’t we all at some point”

“Maybe” Shrugging again, the girl leaned back to stare at the wall “But you and Cobie don’t have to come here every day. If you feel like staying at the restaurant I fix up something to eat before leaving in the morning”

“Oh do we interrupt you? He said you usually did this so I thought-” Kevin trailed off ready to get up and leave if she said so and Mae looked down at her food before mumbling “We do, yeah. Just figured you might prefer to stay somewhere else other than this cubicle”

“I mean. The room has its charms” He laughed alongside her making the girl look more excited “Honestly if you don’t mind, I’m happy to hang out here” Giving a tight-lipped smile, Mae returned to her food as they waited, in a comfortable silence, for Jacob to join them.

“So, do you watch youtube?” Kevin tried making some small talk as she slurped on her noodles and Mae frowned on her spot “Youtube? Like music videos?”

Tsking, Kevin laughed at her clueless face “Oh child, I have so much to teach you”

Try

Chapter One |

Anne Boleyn lost everything when she accidentally resurrected Henry VIII. Now it's all up to her to fix her mistakes, but hopefully, she won’t have to do it alone.

When Catherine Parr walked downstairs that morning, she was met with the now-familiar silence and uncomfortable energy lurking around the breakfast table.

“Is everyone okay?” Cathy whispered to her Godmother as she turned on the coffee machine.

“It’s been a week, and Kat refuses to come out of her room.” The survivor chewed her bottom lip, “Anna believes it’s her fault for being so neglectful and won’t even mention her name. Jane is furious, not to mention depressed! And I’ve just ordered an extra security lock and one of those camera doorbells.” Catalina gestured to her iPad.

Cathy collected her coffee, “And has anyone seen Annie?”

“Anne.” Jane corrected from across the table. Her eyes were red and puffy.

“No one’s seen her since the incident.” ‘Lina placed a comforting hand on Cathy’s arm,

“Forget about her, Cathy. She’s probably off galavanting with Henry in malibu.”

Cathy’s blood boiled at Jane’s comment and her hands balled into fists, “You can’t say that.”

“Oh, can I not?” Jane sassed, “She had a choice of everyone! Mae, Liz, Mary and Eddie, but instead she chose the scumbag who got us here in the first place!”

“There should be a reason!” Cathy argued back.

“Then, what was it? What was worth losing everything?”

And with that, Jane Seymour stormed up to her room, only stopping to pull down a framed photo of the 6 queens at Disneyland from the wall. Anna of Cleves looked apologetically at both Catherine’s and followed Jane, resting the picture on the kitchen table as she left.

That night, Cathy slept alone again. She would usually try to get some sleep before a 2-show day, but the thought of Anne kept her head buzzing. The writer couldn’t help but wonder where her ex-girlfriend was, why Anne betrayed them or if she was ever coming back. The constant questions spiralled and confused the usually logical queen, forcing her to groan into her pillow. She still remembered the day when everything fell apart.

Anne rushed into the writer’s arms with tear-stains carved into her makeup. The Boleyn girl cried until her voice was hoarse and when she finally began to tell Cathy what she’d done - it was too late. A rough knock came from the door, and Jane opened it to reveal their ex-husband, resurrected. Anne burst into a fit of tears and screams as she clawed onto Cathy’s jumper in fright as Henry approached them, a merciless grin on his face.

Nothing had changed.

Anne eventually let go of Cathy, backing herself into a wall. Cathy still cringes at what Henry did next. The monarch stroked Anne’s cheek with his thumb, wiping off a tear.

No one helped her.

“Thank you, my dear.” Henry’s voice was deep, raspy and echoed off the house walls.

“You helped him?” Jane stated.

“He forced me!” Anne was on the verge of a panic attack.

“The universe gave her a choice,” Henry butted in, “Me, Mary, Elizabeth, Edward or Mary. She chose me.”

“You choose who you could resurrect?” Jane’s shout almost tore the house down.

“He- we- we had a plan-” Anne could barely speak, she trembled and clawed at her sides while attempting to back herself further into the wall. She could scarcely breathe between her tears.

“Jane wait-” ‘Lina grabbed the mother by her arm, pulling her away from the Boleyn girl.

Amongst the chaos, Henry snuck out the door. Anna of Cleves tried to contain herself as she comforted a sobbing Katherine Howard. Catalina and Jane were at each other’s throats about Anne Boleyn, and Catherine Parr just stared at the mess of a person she used to call her girlfriend.

The next morning, Anne’s bed was found empty, and most of her belongings had been taken away. The house was never the same after that. Henry was back, Anne was lost, Jane was mourning, Kat was scared, Anna felt guilty, Catalina didn’t go to church and Cathy was single.

Back in bed, the writer had just learnt to live with it, she concealed her thoughts and fears into writing and tried to trick her mind into thinking this was only temporary.

“Tomorrow will be different.” The writer murmured.

Tomorrow was different. The queens would do their first show as a group since Anne left and Anna somehow forgot to get oat milk before heading to the theatre.

“I’ll go get it, I need to clear my head anyway.” Cathy grabbed the spare keys, getting a headstart. The writer cautiously headed to the nearest tube station and took a metro to oxford street. Most of the queens drank oat milk because it was healthier and they didn’t want Kat to feel left out, so Selfridges was visited regularly on weekends.

Walking down the road, Catherine noticed something peculiar. A homeless woman was sleeping on the pavement, her back propped up against the building’s wall; she was covered in blankets.

Anna co-owned a business with Kat where they helped the homeless get back on their feet, and this often resulted in the queens knowing all of them by name. But this woman was different, and Cathy didn’t recognise her.

“Hello?” The writer cautiously approached, “Have you been here long-?” Cathy gasped when she registered the ebony hair which framed the woman’s face. “Annie?”

The 6th queen crouched beside the sleeping clump, carefully pulling back the hem of the blanket so she could see the owner’s face and her fear was confirmed right. Anne’s lips were chapped, there was dirt on her face, the faint remains of a bruise on her left eye and a cut on her chin.

Cathy entered a state of crisis. She still loved Anne, but she couldn’t forgive her for what she did. But then again, was she really going to let her rot on the side of the road? No one deserved that.

The Boleyn girl stirred in her sleep, and Cathy instinctively placed a small hand on her shoulder, “You’re alright.” She whispered, and Anne’s body relaxed.

Cathy felt around for her wallet and pulled out two £20 notes, proceeding to stuff them into Anne’s hood. She took one last look at the remains of Anne Boleyn before kissing her middle and index fingers and resting them against Anne’s shoulder as a goodbye. Cathy then pulled back the blankets and walked in the other direction. The oat milk could wait.

During the next few days, Cathy always passed Anne’s street corner on her way to the theatre, making it her mission to leave small amounts of cash in the 2nd queen’s hood.

On the fourth day, Cathy returned to see Anne awake and drinking something from a flask. Thinking fast, the writer pulled over a stranger and pressed the cash into their hand,

“Please can you give this to the homeless woman on the street corner?”

“I beg your pardon?” The stranger twirled the cash between her fingers,

“Would you mind giving that to the homeless woman?” Cathy pointed at Anne, “I used to know her and I’ve been stopping by every day to give her small amounts of cash.” The stranger looked doubtful, “Please?”

“You’re doing a good deed.” The stranger reluctantly accepted, and Cathy spied from behind a telephone box as the stranger crossed the road and handed Anne the cash. The 6th queen grinned as Anne almost dropped her flask to shake the stranger’s hand, the words ‘thank you’ escaping her mouth multiple times.

However, Anne’s face dropped slightly as the woman shook her head and gestured to the surrounding area, and Cathy couldn’t help feeling a little guilty. But at least Anne had something to eat that night.

The cycle continued for weeks. Anne was dropped secret amounts of cash from random strangers each day until Catherine finally decided to face her fears.

The survivor had just ordered a pair of sausage rolls from Greggs, and it took everything in her not to turn back. Cathy felt like she was walking in slow motion as she approached, her heart was thumping in her ears way too much, and she clenched her jaw. What if Anne didn't want to see her again? There had to be a reason for her continuous absence and even worst, what if Henry was lurking in the bins.

“Annie?” Cathy’s voice was barely a whisper as Anne whipped her head around, her jaw-dropping.

Both queens starred in silence before Cathy inaudibly handed Anne the sausage roll, sitting beside her on the pavement.

“Thank you.” Anne tensed her shoulders and hid her face, “I wish you didn’t see me like this.”

“It’s alright.” Cathy awkwardly assured, “Is it warm enough?”

“It’s great, thank you.” The conversation was horribly formal. “How did you find me, anyway?”

“A few weeks ago I went to buy some oat milk and passed you. I’ve been leaving cash in your hood.”

Cathy swore she could see Anne tear up.

“That was you?”

“Yeah, sorry if it was weird.”

“You have no idea how much I appreciated those! With that money, I brought a flask, gloves, a new coat, blankets and even a sleeping bag!” Cathy tried to stifle a laugh as Anne showed off her possessions with pride, “And next, I’m gonna buy a tent! So, thank you, Cath.”

The nickname struck a nerve and Cathy tried not to cry as she finished her sausage roll.

“Is there anything I could bring you tomorrow?”

“Deodorant!” Anne quipped,

A smile graced Cathy's face, even after so long the pair fell back into their casual conversation as nothing had happened. So much had changed but their relationship was still stable as both queen's pushed past their doubts in exchange for an unfamiliar feeling of home and familiarity.

“Yeah, but you’ve always needed that!” Cathy fired back. Anne dramatically gasped and held a hand to her chest. “Seriously though, what do you need?”

“You’ve done too much for me already.” The Boleyn girl grasped Cathy’s hand before she could go. “It would be rude to ask for me, especially after… well, you know what. So thank you.”

“Anytime.” Anne’s hand lingered longer than necessary, and in any other circumstance, Cathy would’ve kissed Anne’s knuckles and told her she loved her. Instead, Anne let go, and they parted ways until the next day.

_______________

It got to the point where Cathy would leave the house an hour early to see Anne.

The lonely, gay, writer leaves her found family to pick up the pieces from her ex-girlfriend’s destruction while she shares a sausage roll with said ex. It sounds like a news header.

Every other day, Cathy would supply Anne with the daily essentials and Anne would take her on a walk around London, showing her all the city’s secrets.

Like the money, this continued until Cathy saw Anne packing up her belongings and blankets.

“What’s going on?”

“They’re moving me. They want me gone by the end of the day because it looks bad for their brand.” Anne explained.

“Who? Selfridges?”

Anne nodded solemnly.

“We are never buying from them again. Come on, you can stay with me.” Cathy picked up a blanket.

“You know I probably have fleas, right? There’s this homeless man who I’m friends with, and his dog is always scratching. I can’t stay at your house.” Anne grabbed the blanket from Cathy’s hands.

“We have flea spray at home from when Kat found that puppy.” Cathy snatched the blanket back.

“Have you forgotten the four people living there who hate me? One of them is my cousin.” Anne claimed the blanket.

“Big deal, don’t think I haven’t noticed those bruises on your neck and wrists. I know what you’re doing. 40 quid a week isn’t enough to buy a tent, Anne.”

The energy dipped and reclaiming the blanket was annoyingly easy.

The Boleyn girl hushed her voice and twiddled her thumbs, “That was uncalled for.”

“Please?” Anne practically melted when Cathy cupped her cheek, “Come home with me.”

“Okay.”

Smuggling a gremlin into the house was more problematic than Cathy thought. Anne had to wait in the garden until the queens had gone to bed and then climb up into Cathy’s window without making a sound.

“Put your leg up!’ Cathy whisper-shouted.

“Do you really think I'm THAT flexible?!” Anne laughed, “I haven’t done the splits in 5 weeks!”

“Lower your voice, you crackhead! Jane is right below us.”

“Oh, fuck Jane!” Anne winked at Cathy who almost dropped the Boleyn girl back onto the grass.

“Just pull!”

Finding strength, Cathy pulled Anne through the window, so she landed on top of her, the pair erupting into fits of laughter.

“I swear someone would’ve heard that!” Anne worried,

“Holy mother of god- you do stink!” Cathy slid out from under Anne and closed her nose.

_______________

“Do you still have that coconut shampoo?” Anne fidgeted around their bathroom, liked she belonged there.

“It should be under the sink.” Cathy scrolled through her phone.

“I still don’t get why you have to be in here,” Anne muttered.

“Because someone has to be in a bathroom for it to be locked! That’s just basic knowledge!” Cathy glanced up from her phone as Anne removed her top, “besides, it’s nothing I haven’t seen before.”

“You’re lucky I’m only letting that comment slide because I haven’t felt hot water in weeks.”

Cathy knew she shouldn’t, but that didn’t stop her from wincing at the bruises on Anne’s back.

“How’d you get those bruises?”

“Looking already, are we?” Anne turned the shower on.

“I’m just curious.”

“I was given the last packet of socks at the homeless shelter, and some dudes were pretty desperate. Which is stupid because I would’ve given them a pair if they’d asked.”

The writer nodded but needed to ask one last question.

“What about the cuts on your arm?”

“What cuts.”

What should’ve been a question came out as a statement, and Anne quickly ended their conversation. Still, that didn’t stop Catherine from eying the vertical cuts above Anne’s wrist which were carved into her skin like the scar on her neck.

Cathy stayed silent for the remainder of Anne’s shower. The stream of water calmed her, and the steam put her muscles at ease. Anne hummed the faint tune of a lullaby, and for once, everything was back to normal.

Anne was sunk back into Cathy’s room smelling of strawberries and coconut, they sprayed flea killer on almost all of Anne’s belongings (despite Cathy’s protests). Before ending the night on Cathy’s carpet eating ice cream and watching Tangled.

Once Anne had passed out on the writer’s shoulder, she began scribbling down her thoughts in her notebook:

‘Why do we fall in love so easily? Even when it’s not right? I don’t know how it all turned to lies, and sometimes I think it’s better to never ask why. And even though Anne hurt me, I can’t help but forgive her.’

☁️ I hope you liked... the first 3 chapters are already on ao3 but i figured i’d post to tumblr too! Let me know about tag lists! xx ☁️

I’m gonna rant about the hate that New Horizon *still* for a bit

It’s still completely aggravating to me that people continue to bitch about how much “worse” New Horizons is compared to previous Animal Crossing games. People act like NH is bland or lacks a lot of other things, when really a lot of people are taking what’s new for granted. Let’s break this down a bit:

“New Horizons didn’t bring back a lot of Special NPCs”

Yeah but that’s because their jobs became unnecessary.

- Booker and Copper aren’t needed because the Lost and Found is more readily accessible (and you don’t need to wait and build their building like in New Leaf, which could take you half a year to get)

- Resseti and Don aren’t needed because the game finally has an Auto-Save feature (which is incredibly helpful)

- Harriet isn’t needed because we can now just customize everything about ourselves on our own

- Cyrus and Reese weren’t needed back in because they were only useful for customizing furniture, which used to take half an hour to do for one lone item, which we can just do now instantly

- Phyllis, Pelly, and Pete aren’t needed because your mailbox can just hold all your mail now, and you can send a letter whenever you want.

Any other missing NPCs aren’t needed simply because their role doesn’t need to be in the game with all the changes made. And hell, it’s not the first time that a Special NPC doesn’t come back: Porter wasn’t in Wild World or City Folk, and Serena and Farley haven’t made a reappearance since their initial debuts.

“New Horizons didn’t bring back all the items”

While this is true, it isn’t as extreme as people act like it is. Part of the reason is that a lot of furniture you can just craft now, with some having their older versions being customization options. Another part is that some of it is moved to special NPCs like Gulliver. Some sets also had their names changed, (which feels unnecessary, but regardless they’re still there).

Something else to keep in mind with Animal Crossing games is that they’re *very big* games. Like, a lot more so than people realize. Designing the furniture takes a lot of time, let alone all the customization options, and the furniture in this game is a LOT more detailed than in previous games, (consider that the first game was an N64 game ported, then a DS game, then a Wii Game that was just the DS game ported, and then a 3DS game).

Them having to make super high-quality designed furniture AND clothing (which the clothing now has variants, different types, AND has its own texturing to give it more detail, and some clothing flat out being unique models) shouldn’t surprise anyone when some things just end up not being included in the end product.

“Villagers have no personality and say the same things over and over”

Literally in every single game the villagers would say the exact same shit to you all the time, because the game can only have so much space for all the unique dialogue. While I think some certain things could be triggered more often for NPCs to talk about, it’s really not any different than how it’s been, ‘cause there’s only so much that can be done. And the shit about “personality” is just Nostalgia Goggles fogging things up about a game that lacked more things to do than New Horizons on launch.

‘New Horizons has no Quality of Life changes”

40 INVENTORY SPACES

1600 INVENTORY FOR HOUSE STORAGE (WHICH GOT UNNECESSARILY UPGRADED TO 2400)

PLACEABLE FURNITURE OUTSIDE AND BASICALLY FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE TOWN, SOMETHING THAT’S BEEN HEAVILY REQUESTED FOR A LONG DAMN TIME

FUCKING PATHS

MORE CLOTHING SLOTS FOR MORE CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION

VILLAGERS CAN ACTUALLY WEAR HATS AND SOME ACCESSORIES

LITERALLY ALL THE CHANGES I LISTED ABOVE WITH THE SPECIAL NPCS

CUSTOM DESIGNS NOW GIVE YOU 100 TOTAL SLOTS (even if it’s shared among all players in a town, which I suspect is a space saving thing (which they still give you more in this game because you used to only have 10 personal slots which you had to share between your Pro and normal designs, so really we got like 60 more slots without needing to make other characters just to use them))

Acting like there’s no Quality of Life changes to this game is fucking stupid and short sighted.

“You’re just acting like this game is flawless like a fanboy”

Also fucking wrong! Because I do have some issues with this game.

- Customized Clothing needs all the options back from New Leaf. I know they’re in the game simply because you can use QRs from that game in this one, so they should just be made available. Also we need a way to turn off the clothing bevel so there isn’t a weird coat seam on some designs. Also, bring back Customized Umbrellas.

- You should be able to craft multiple pieces of furniture at once if you have the materials, and should be able to craft them into their customized forms as well.

- Golden Tools should have some way of resetting their health. I *do not* mind that the Golden Tools can break, but you should still be able to customize them so you can reset their health. That way you don’t have to keep getting gold for them. Which speaking of, Gold should be just a bit more common, given how much uses it.

- More things in this game should do a check if you’ve owned certain items/recipes. Some events in this game will give one of each item in a random order, and won’t give you repeats until it’s given all of them to you once, (such as the fishing tourney). I believe the Seasonal Recipes should do this, and that all events should follow this criteria.

- The game should give bigger priority to giving you recipes you don’t have. I don’t mind getting repeat recipes, because you’re supposed to give them to friends/players who are missing them, but it should really give more priority to recipes you don’t have.

- Redd should be a guaranteed appearance every week, and should always come with one legit painting your museum doesn’t have until your Art exhibit is done. The Art for the museum has consistently been the worst aspect of the museum in every game, and I just want that shit to change. Hell, shove KK to appearing on Sundays with Daisy Mae, so we have that extra slot free in the week.

- Some accessories need to be tweaked so they can be worn with hats. Some I can understand because of clipping, but others are just dumb. Also put the damn bands back on the eyepatches. They look stupid just sitting there.

- Villagers should play with the furniture more. I get why they don’t use them as much, since if they’re sitting or laying down you can’t gift them stuff, but they should still use them longer than the 30 seconds they usually do.

There’s probably more that I could think of,but those are the bigger complaints I personally have. However, despite all that, I still like New Horizons a lot, and I will still argue that the game is still a marked improvement from what’s come before. People just need to learn to stop bitching about everything.

ACNH Guide by an AC Newbie

Planning / Decorating Your Island

you might see a lot not to worry about placement of houses or buildings because you can change it later. while this is true, moving things is expensive and takes a LOT of time. so at least try to space them in a way that isn’t too cluttered (a good rule of thumb is don’t stick everything behind/right next to resident services unless you want it to be there a WHILE

getting a 5 star island doesn’t require placing random objects everywhere. i got mine by accident just by creating little hang out areas and cute spots for fun. so take your time and build your island the way you want!

it is easy to get overwhelmed looking at all the aesthetic island posts online which makes it harder to focus on what YOU want. a good starting place is to pick a general feel for your island. are you wanting more of a natural, spread out feel? a modern, urban getaway? a super tropical paradise? a fandom-based escape? keeping a general idea in mind can help when decorating.

Harvesting Materials / Getting Items

when harvesting materials, dig three holes behind you when hitting rocks to get 6-8 materials in stead of three. you can shake trees indefinitely for branches.

every day you can harvest 3 bundles of wood from each tree, up to 9 materials from each rock, find one DIY bottle on the beach, 4 fossils, and shake 1-2 items from trees.

when shaking trees for items or branches, always stand directly in front of the tree with a net equipped. if a wasp nest falls out, your villager will automatically face it with a look of terror. click a and you should catch them with no stings ^u^

additionally, you can always get extra materials going on nook miles tours. you also have the chance to shake out an extra item on the island from trees without fruit.

be careful shooting down balloons over flowers/highly decorate areas. if there is no open square (with no flowers, furniture, etc) for the present to land on, it will glitch and disappear.

you can always buy new items/clothing from nook’s cranny and able sisters. nook’s cranny closes at 10 p.m. and able sisters closes at 9 p.m.

if you want duplicates of items you’ve already had, order up to 5 of them using the terminal in customer services.

***specific note, you have to register songs for radios, cassette players, etc. i honestly thought this meant finding a way to transfer real songs but NOPE. there are adorable K.K. tracks you can buy each day from the terminal under nook shopping. it’s always at the bottom for special items.

Villagers

there are 8 personalities for villagers.

females: normal, sisterly, snooty, and peppy

males: lazy, cranky, smug, and jock

everyone starts with a combination of sisterly and jock.

when you eventually get to search for villagers, feel free to be a little picky. find ones you vibe with. i didn’t realize that there are over 400 potential friends out there when i first started looking.

it fun to see how different personalities interact, so i do recommend giving all of them a try. but find your own balance that fits you. love the jocks? get 7! want all normals? do it! can’t stand peps? it’s ok!

don’t ask nook to sell plots of land UNLESS you have the nook miles to get plenty of tickets to fill them. otherwise, the house will automatically be sold to a random villager the next day. (or, if you like to have fate pick for you, go wild and sell as many as you want!)

coaxing a villager to move out doesn’t have to be cruel. i honestly can’t smack my little animal friends with nets and the posts calling them ugly or trapping them in cages or fences makes me sad. just don’t talk to them often and they’ll decide to go when they’re ready.

alternatively, you can get villagers to leave via amiibo or camper. my understanding is with amiibos you can pick who you want to leave. with campers, they pick a random villager to go talk to. if you wanted a different animal to move out, press the home button on your switch, then close the game by clicking x. you might lose a bit of saved time, but should be able to speak with the camper again to try for a different villager.

Being a Good Friend

want your villager to know how much you love them? talk to them every day.

after a few days, you will unlock the option to give them a gift. i love giving mine clothing. note, for the most part villagers cannot wear pants, socks, or shoes. so i wouldn’t recommend them as gifts, though your villagers will still appreciate the thought

send letters. in the airport there is a letter kiosk. you can send a note to your villagers with a gift each day.

DIYS

at first, you can get large amounts of DIYs by attending nook’s workshops and buying DIY packs at nook’s cranny. soon, there will be no more packs to buy, in which case you can get new DIYs the following ways

bottled messages wash up on the beach once each day

shooting down balloons

Several villagers each day will be using their DIY bench at home. speak to them to receive the recipe for what they are making

when visiting mystery islands, bottled messages can wash up on shore. it doesn’t happen every time

Making Money

catching bugs and fish can bring in lots of bells! however, some are worth way more than others. looking up a guide for prices isn’t a bad idea, but it’s your call!

ALSO! there are npcs called flick and cj who buy bugs and fish respectively at higher rates. if you have the storage or don’t mind a mountain of tanks and cages, you can save your critters for these visitors. just keep in mind it might be a while between visits.

hunting and fishing not your thing? try being a DIY guru. gather materials and go crazy. build a ton of stuff and sell it to the nooklings for profit

blathers already has the fossils you dug up today? sell the duplicate fossils for a nice payday.

play the stalk market to try and make bank! every sunday daisy mae visits til 12 p.m. to sell turnips. buy as many as you can and sell them when the prices go up. note, you do risk losing money as prices won’t always be in your favor. additionally, if you keep the turnips til the next sunday they will rot.

Having Fun

do it your way. really. that’s the advice. you might prefer to spend all day harvesting and fishing. that’s so cool. you might prefer to build endless projects and redecorate every day. completely valid. maybe you just wanna chill with your animal friends and aren’t in any hurry to decorate. that’s an amazing plan!

that said, here are some things to do if you aren’t sure where to start.

place a radio next to the plaza. enjoy listening to your villagers sing.

follow a villager throughout the day to catch them napping, chasing bugs, snacking, and otherwise being adorable

look at the nook miles+ tasks for the day and complete them all

look at your DIY catalog and build an area based on what you have. parks, restaurants, cafes, and item stalls tend to be easiest at the beginning and you can always change it later if it no longer fits

visit your museum exhibits and really take your time. it is a very soothing place

try your hand at designing your own outfit using a custom design

if you have nintendo online, visit a friend’s island and play hide and seek, buried treasure, or have a fashion show!

If any other players have advice to add, please reblog or reply so I can edit and add to the list! Thanks for reading!

Could you ship tbz members with your mutuals? (Seeing this everywhere so I thought why not pass it to you!)

ahh i’ve been seeing this everywhere as well!! i’ve actually done this awhile back but since i’ve gained a lot of new mutuals since then, i’ll just give it a go once more ^^

i may or may not have put too much thought into this oops 🤭

sangyeon + @moondustaeil @aveluant1a

talking to amber feels like i’m talking to a trusted older sister ngl. she's one of the people i’d turn to for an honest opinion or some much needed advice on stuff and i value her insights very much. she's also very mature in their thinking which is what i think sangyeon would appreciate a lot as the leader of a group of 11 (10) other boys who are always constantly on crack.

as for yu, she gives me very gentle and calm vibes seriously. she’s strikes me off as a hard worker from our conversations and she is very dedicated to her writing which i believe sangyeon would love in a person. i can already imagine him just staring at her work, with a look of affection and admiration in his eyes 😆

jacob + @ihearttbz

riane is an absolute angel to talk to and i love our conversations tgt because it’s always so easy to talk to her and i feel like i can tell her a lot of things i normally wouldn’t tell anyone else. she’d pair very well with jacob and just be that couple that everyone loves and adores, the really sweet couple that people just love to hang around with 💞

younghoon + @chaoticdeobi

um was it really going to be anyone else other than bea? XD younghoon as we know is a pretty shy person and bea to me, seems like the opposite of that. in their case, i think the phrase ‘opposite attracts’ is applicable! bea’s enthusiasm and liveliness is something younghoon would definitely find to be very charming, prompting him to come out of his shell very quickly when he’s around her. i believe whatever he lacks, she makes up for it and vice versa

hyunjae + @bobagyu @kpophours

rose is just so random and funny sometimes which is honestly just like hyunjae to a tee, they’re just so like each other in a way! i get the feeling that rose may be a little unsure of herself sometimes ( which she shouldn’t ) and i think hyunjae would be a great fit because he would definitely be able to help her become more confident while she can probably teach him to be a little less tough and be more vulnerable to his own feelings.

anna is an extremely bright and outgoing person from what i can tell from our conversations. i think that would complement well with hyunjae’s loud and larger than life personality and they would a 100% be that couple that everyone just asks to tone it down but secretly love having them around because they’re just so intriguing and fun to have around 💫

juyeon + @jyeonvoir

elsie has these very calm vibes and i’ve mentioned this before but she gives mad older sister vibes as well. she’s gentle and soft, very much like juyeon and ngl i may be just a little intimidated by her at first but after getting to know her, she’s actually super friendly and nice! she and juyeon would make a lovely couple and i can totally imagining them just chilling on a rainy night, watching Netflix while he wraps his arms around her in a warm embrace.

kevin + @2hyunjae @mae-gi-writes

luna imo is pretty quiet for the most part but once you talk to her, she’s actually pretty fun to talk to! she’s also artistically inclined ( also have you seen her calligraphy skills? they’re insanely good omf ) which i think kevin would appreciate a lot as an artist himself! i feel like he can bring her out of her shell and when he does, he’d just be enchanted by her lovely personality and did i just write a fluffy fic prompt?? o.o

mae is JUST. SO. CUTE. my biggest kevin stan out there, you would be a great match for kevin i just know it. your enthusiasm and your meme vibes would complement kevin perfectly! she’s incredibly supportive and lively which is definitely something i think kevin would look out for in a partner. i can 100% see him with someone who’s just like mae in the future 💓

chanhee + @tidalstorm

something about ros to me screams vogue and classiness and when i think of her, i feel like she’s super bougie? maybe im wrong but that’s how i feel! i get the same vibe around chanhee as well and her really cute personality i feel will mesh well with chanhee’s seemingly harder personality? they’re just very alike to me in terms of vibes!

changmin + @fluffytbz @sankyeom

having talked to rosie, i can tell you that she’s one of the easiest people i’ve talked to on tumblr so far. she’s also such a sweet person and her vibes are really similar to changmin’s come to think of it? lovable but with a tiny hint of shyness? that’s changmin and rosie! i know we always see changmin smiling since that boy basically exudes happiness but i feel like there’s got to be a special kind of smile, the soft kind that speaks volumes of his feelings that he reserves for those he loves and i feel like that person could be rosie. does that make sense?

talking about belle is like talking about a role model to me >< i still fangirl sometimes but that’s beside the point. belle has such warm vibes that changmin would have loved! i feel like he’s not someone who likes to make his feelings know and he’d rather just be happy in front of the camera all the time but i think with belle, he would definitely be able to let his guard down around her. there’s just something about her that wants to make ppl trust her instantly 😋

haknyeon + @atbzkingdom

dee is an absolute sweetheart which is just what hak needs. she can be level headed and mature when the situation calls for it but she can also have fun and be wild which i think hak would appreciate a lot in a partner! he’s been through a lot so i feel he may need someone who he can feel comfortable around to tell his secrets to and since dee is trustworthy like that, he’d feel at ease around her 😌

hyunjoon + @tbzwurld

ok i’ll be honest. i was kind of intimidated by bee when i first started talking to her. there’s something about her that just makes her whole vibe so powerful and just radiate such dominant energy ( not in that way ) but yes, she just seems so cool to me and the vibes she gives off to me is exactly the vibes hyunjoon gives me as well. once you get to know her though, she’s actually so sweet?? and kind?? and amazing?? idk why but to me, she’s what i think would be hyunjoon’s ideal type ✨

sunwoo + @minfuwa @jopping-to-my-kpop @mjlkau

although i haven’t rly talked much to iris ( but i really want to >< iris can we be friends pls ) iris has this sort of charm that i can’t quite put my finger on. it’s a certain type of charm that i associate with sunwoo? like there’s a certain appeal which they both have in common! from our very little interaction ( hopefully we can change that ), i get that she has a vibrant personality that would make everyone just love to flock to her and befriend her. ngl when i think of sunwoo, i think of her sometimes! maybe this is a signal from the universe idk 👀

yo ok emma is just like super cool ok? idc what tf you have to say, she’s cooler than you and me and everyone else combined. her swag is just out of this world and i think her effortlessly cool persona is something that sunwoo would just be completely enthralled by. she's also a very reliable friend who i am so glad to have gotten to know bc hell, even i’m attracted to her personality so how can sunwoo not be? actually, sunwoo would love her personality! they both exude such badass but soft vibes it’s almost unreal 💙

anie has a very surprising personality imo! my first impression of her was really cute and sweet so imagine my surprise when she reveals that darker side of her >< i really like the duality though ngl and i think sunwoo would too! he’d just be so fascinated by her and just want to get to know her more and as he learns more about her, he’s just going to end up falling deep in love without realising until one day he’s like “fuck, i’m an idiot in love without even noticing it.”

eric + @heartyyjeno @lovely-kpop-writer

alesha is just a BIG ball of floof and i love her omg she's such a supportive and caring friend, it’s unreal. her enthusiasm to me, is on par with eric and if he’s the energy boy, she’s the energy girl for sure. they’d be that couple that just goes around hyping everyone up and everyone would just LOVE them! i know i would and if anyone disagrees, i’ll fite you >:(

jasmine my love!!! this girl here is just so incredibly lovely just like her url suggests and honestly, she’s one of the ppl who are most significant in my tumblr journey because her love for people is just so heartwarming? she’s always friendly and kind which is what eric would love in his future partner. jasmine is just so PRECIOUS istg ❣️

Tevinter Nights: Random new fact-stuff that I love and think everyone should be aware of

Basically a TN minor highlights reel. Random stuff I appreciated. Spoilers under the cut.

the references to other stories in many of the stories, woven throughout

all the different details about character/different region’ and races’ accents, and characters saying some words in their own languages, like Orlesian and Antivan

Strife the elf is a silver fox with a Scottish accent

Bas-taar[d]

retractable daggers that go in your sleeve, i.e. Assassin’s Creed style hidden blades, are a canonical thing some assassins have

Dalish elf mage shapeshifter who transforms into a halla

Desire Demon taking male form

“Andruil’s tits!”

Vitaar color and pattern has a symbolic meaning

Manfred the skeleton butler

Carriages drawn by undead skeleton horses which glow green

Audric’s driving passion and keen interest in architectural art through the ages and associated trivia knowledge

Audric-Curiosity has to give consent to serve the Mourn Watcher under a modicum of magical control as a librarian otherwise it’s anomie

Older gays

Sten-related cookie reference

Wardens don’t leave anyone behind

the works of Kal-Sharok have more delicacy and skill than those of Orzamar

Dwarves have lyrium charges which are drums with fuses that blow stuff up. I imagine banging the drum = boom

A Tevinter mage who is a Warden

Sutherland and Co are now landed and titled w/ a minor hold of their own; Ser Donal of the Hinters, Crosscut Brother; Ser Shayd, Lady of Evesol, bard of secret distinction; and Ser Voth Dale’An, free mage by special commendation.

Elven ears twitching in annoyance is a thing that happens

Sutherland and Shayd’s relationship

how the Inquisitor inspires and prompts the feels in Sutherland

Sutherland’s sheer cinnamon rollity. he is pure

Shayd originally came from a place called Dales End

the reason why Voth rarely speaks

Voth seems to favor ice magic

massive exploding amphora full of bees. Dagna’s handywork, Sera-inspired no doubt. Sera would be proud.

“Oh, pebbles!”

Cabot and Elam Ve’mal are now in love. He says she’s beautiful and she tsks in the way that he loves

Master Ignaldo’s Fabulous Circus of Rivain

Dorian’s mom had a dear pet nug until it passed away. its name was Hollix, which means something like “irrepressible rascal” in old Tevene

Josie is a dear friend of Dorian’s and she sends him gifts of choice bottles of wine from her vineyards

Antiva and Rivain have a sort of light rivalry over stuff like “Antivan wine is superior!”

The Inquisitor managed to change Dorian’s views on slavery in the end during his time in the south. He now thinks it’s bad, no longer has slaves - only paid servants - and is ashamed of how long it took him to realize this. he came home to Tevinter with fresh views

Mae is splendidly dressed and “has such a presence!” “You turned to her like you do the first breeze of spring.” She is shrewd. she calls Dorian “dear heart”. she’s courteous and exceedingly generous

Mizzy

Tevinters love their horse-sized lizards and use them to draw carriages (clearly dracolisks)

Solas’ spirit army

Antoine. so cheerful, light-hearted and trying hard to live up to/embody the classical heroics parts of Warden-dom

how grim and dour Anderfels people are lol

Evka is from House Ivo. & as a former-underground dwarf sth she hates about the surface is being rained on, especially in the dark

Charter thinking of, wishing for and missing Tessa

sweet rolls

detailed insight into Sidony’s past and mindset

Cyrros, an example of an elf with high standing and who commands respect among Nevarran nobles. dresses in lavish finery like the nobles and is able to get away with disrespecting/mocking them. they’re afraid of him and bow to him

Lucanis freeing the elven slaves and Vadis and Irian making sure not to kill elven servants or elven Qunari who were just doing their jobs. Teia’s policy not to kill the help, which is probably a House-wide rule in her house

literally everything about Irian... hunter, thief and staff-fighting expert, good fighter/combatant, sought after for recruitment by Qunari and Solas’ goons, used to occupy a high-ranking post in the magisterium and the magister she used to work for was annoyed about losing her skills. can read Qunlat

Laudine’s synesthesia-esque condition

Vyrantium is a very sharp-dressed city where people have all the latest fashions. Vint parties are lavish opulent affairs of excess - they literally have retching vases to vom into when you’ve overindulged so that you can then get back to it. like Roman vomitoriums in popculture

Teia’s eyes are halla-gold

someone worked out that a clay fragment, previously claimed by the Chantry to be artifact that proved elven belief in the Maker’s flowering glory, was in fact a “manual of marital instruction” (so like a tantric sex manual lol? something like the Kama Sutra?). It’s still in a chantry Mother’s sealed vault, and is privately examined on special occasions

The Randy Dowager, anonymous writer who routinely outsells many of the best writers in Thedas with her collections of scarf-fluttering smut.. is none other than Genetivi!! scholarly, serious, devout old Genetivi. everyone is shocked. at one point he snipes to another character that they could not afford her rates lmao

there’s a roaming public house called The Hilt which moves location each month according to a dice roll

big meat-eating creatures called raytooths live in the Minanter River. they have leathery flaps and teeth on the underside, and long tails, and are also referred to as rays. sound like a scary combination of catfish and manta-rays

the Prince of Starkhaven enjoys a solid reputation throughout the Marches. a red Starkhaven tail is the emblem of the Vael family

2 Lords of Fortune were once chased by the Sandy Howler

at the handoff of the amulet from Bharv to Vaea in the tavern, Ser Aaron is surreptitiously watching her back. he’s off to one side pretending not to know her and regaling other customers with stories. thought this was a lovely moment between them

feral barefoot always-smiling sleepy old Grandma Crow, Lessef (and her relationship w/ 76 yo Tainsley), and Ruthless duchess-like Grandma Crow-Queen, Caterina Dellamorte. Crow Grandmas!

Teia and Caterina’s relationship. Teia calling her “Nonna”

getting vengeance for some Dalish

the 5 foot tall male Magister who overcompensates for his height by working out and flexing all the time lmao. its also interesting to find an example of a mage, especially a Magister, who is very physical and feels more at home in military camps w/ soldiers

many Antivans get high by burning a herb like in a lamp, to make the vapor from it. it gives them a heady feeling, a mellow lethargy that suffuses the body. the first joyous slumber is so peaceful, the first time you use it has the greatest effect. sounds like sth you’d find in an opium den

non-mage non-templar lyrium addict

some Crow Talons being elves

abusive exes and racist evil dudes getting their just desserts

Bolivar Nero’s (an elf) family made their fortune as pearl divers/hiring pearl divers and were once the wealthiest elves in Antiva. he lives a lavish lifestyle

Crow history and legends

Antivan gondolas

Teia’s rise to power among the Crows, meteoric at a young age, controversial, for an elf born in an alley with no family or connections. actually in general there are so many examples of competent and variously-powerful elves in this book

Tevinter has examples of floating buildings, floating chandeliers and barman-less bars. shows you what magic can do and why they think the south is quaint and backwards. that stuff is advanced

magic gadgets and booby traps, magic dust that shows what happened in a place, enchanted sound-blocking curtains, street lamp-lighters who use magic to do their job, nuances of what blood magic can do, the capabilities of necromancy, awesome uses of magic like using wind spells to blow a ship.. just all the new details about the ways magic is used in this world and innovative uses of it in the stories

Merry the Mad

the Qunari are not a single mind or monolith, there’s ideological differences and differences of opinion

30 yo Fereldan whisky. Antivan coffee. spiced mulled wine. ice-wine. Charter likes to drink Anderfels mint tea, loose leaf, with 2 sugars.

a mage learning how to do physical staff combat. it just makes so much sense that it would be useful and smart to know how to do that

“the elf currently known as Charter”

Random Sunday Stuff

We watched Destination Wedding. That movie is dialogue-rich (pay attention) but has the most hilarious and actually realistic (non-explicit) sex scene, and also sleeping-in-the-same-bed scene (separate scenes) that I’ve ever seen

How many times can I use some form of scene/seen in the same sentence. Susurration, anyone?

I have been designing patterns faster than I can knit samples. I’ve released 5 patterns since March and have 5 more ready to put up for testing. Nobody cares.

Wolf is somewhere in western Tennessee. Maybe I’ll get to see him tomorrow!

Speaking of tomorrow, I’m going to go down to the shop with Di and work on some of her tattoos. Keep my hands from getting too rusty.

Speaking of hands, my hands look terrible. They’re already becoming deformed from arthritis. Too many years of hard work. It’s embarrassing.

I’ve been learning to speak Welsh, and I love it. I still have some trouble with forms of “bod” (our “to be”), like when to use Wyt-ti or Rwyt-ti, when to use Ydy/Ydyn or Mae/Maen, but otherwise I’m coming along swimmingly. I’d been getting discouraged thinking I wasn’t doing well, when yesterday I discovered I could check my word list. All 365 words at that point, were rated as “strong” for understanding/usage, so I guess I’m doing better than I thought.

Speaking of learning Welsh, I’ve been typing in Welsh so much that now I fumble all over my fingers trying to type in English. I wish I had someone to converse with in Cymraeg.

I’ve been very discouraged (depressed? no no let’s not use that word) that I haven’t gotten more accomplished in the last 5 months. I’d hoped to have our apartment painted but ongoing injuries have kept me from that. I feel like a slug.

I’ve stayed off tumblr quite a bit except for queueing some things and letting them post, because the world is such a mess, and I feel so helpless to do anything about it. I can’t go around being angry and afraid ALL THE TIME. So in self protection, I’ve limited my online exposure.

I miss you guys, but I would miss my sanity even more.

Finding the queens - Part 2

I’m adding a tag list to this because people were asking to be tagged so, you’re welcome! Also, I wasn't expecting for people to actually enjoy my idea so, thank you! Anyway, on with the story!

Part 2: Anne Boleyn

Cathy sat on the couch, drinking the tea that Cat had made for Cathy and herself. Mae sat on the carpet, playing with her plush toys while Mary watched the television that was on the other side of the living room. It was a small room, really, but rather cozy. It was quiet, except for the tv noises and Mae’s random little giggles.

“So, now that we’ve decided that we aren’t the only ones who have been resurrected, i think we should think about finding the other queens.” Cathy said, trying to break the silence. Cat looked at her and quickly nodded before looking back at Mary. She seemed to always look at her if she wasn’t talking to someone. Mary quickly turned around, looking at Cathy, and asked:

“What do you mean by finding the other queens, Miss Cathy?” That had been the first time she had actually heard Mary talk since she had died in her previous life. Cathy wasn’t sure how to answer. Did Mary even know about her past life? Or because she had been resurrected as a child, she didn’t remember any of it? Would she understand if she explained it?

“What Miss Cathy means is that we have to find our other friends!” Cat jumped in, seeing Cathy’s struggle. “But that is for the adults to talk about, baby. Okay?” Cat said, trying to make Mary lose interest or just to end the conversation entirely.

“But mama, i want to help find your friends!” Mary said back, getting up on her feet and looking at Cat. Mary was short for her age, having more of an average height of a five year old, but she stood proudly. As proudly as a nine year old can stand. “Please!” she said, a hint of eagerness in her voice.

“I’m sorry princess, but there’s nothing you can help us with.” Cat said, a calm smile on her face. Mary ran to Cat and jumped into her arms, giving her mother a hug.

“You know what, Cat? Just let her tag along! She might not be able to help but this will still be exciting for her!” Cathy said, putting away her tea cup and going to pick up Mae, who wasn’t very bothered with what was happening in the room. “Maybe we should go outside and get some fresh air.” Cathy suggested. She saw Mary clapping her hands excitedly, looking at her mother.

“Yeah, sure.”

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

The park was rather empty, and the playground only had a couple of children playing there. Mary immediately ran to the swings as Cathy and Cat sat on a bench with Mae. Since Cat was busy keeping an eye on her daughter, Cathy turned to her own daughter, Mae. Through the one month she has lived in this modern world with Mae, she’s figured out that her daughter liked one thing at the playground, and that was the sand pit. So, she took her daughter to the sand pit, which didn’t have anyone playing in it at the moment, and watched her daughter play, making sure she didn’t eat the sand. After a few minutes of Cathy just watching her daughter try to bury herself, she hears Mary run from a distance, calling:

“Miss Cathy! Miss Cathy!” When Cathy looked at Mary, she saw she was holding the hands of another little girl, who was a bit taller and had fiery red hair and pale skin. Once both girls reached her, Mary happily introduced the girl. “Miss Cathy, meet my new friend, Elly!” she said, presenting the girl with her left arm. “Elly, meet my mama’s friend, Miss Cathy!” she said, presenting Cathy with her right hand.

“Hello there, Elly!” Cathy said to the little girl. “It’s very nice to meet you!” She slowly took the little girl’s two small hands into her’s.

“It is very nice to meet you too, Miss Cathy!” Elly said, a small smile on her lips. Cathy could see now that Elly had dark eyes, kind of like Mary’s, but slightly lighter.

“Elly!” a woman’s voice yelled. “Elly, don’t run away from mummy like that!” Elly turned around and ran into the embrace of the owner of the voice, who was a woman with pale skin and dark brown hair. “Don’t surprise mummy like that!”

“I am very sorry, mummy!” Elly said as her mother picked her up.

“It’s okay!” the woman said, before turning to Cathy, Mary and Mae, who had crawled into Cathy’s arms as soon as Elly had run off. “Hello, it is very nice to meet you! I’m Anne and this is my daughter, Elizabeth, or Elly for short.” she said, petting her daughter’s hair.

“Oh, um, hello! I’m Catherine, or Cathy for short.” Cathy said, looking at Mae, who was sucking her thumb. Mary had already run off, getting Cat here as well. When she noticed that Anne was still looking at her, she continued: “And this is my daughter, Mary, but i just call her Mae.”

“She is adorable!” Anne said, looking at Mae. “And what about the other little girl, isn’t she also your daughter?” Anne asked, looking for Mary.

“Oh no, she is my friend’s daughter. Her name is also Mary.” Cathy explained calmly. Anne giggled, finally noticing Mary trying to pull Cat off the bench.

“And what’s your friend’s name?” Anne asked, still looking at Mary and Cat.

“Catherine, but she is Cat for short.” Cathy explained, getting up on her feet holding Mae. Anne laughed a little, probably at the irony of two friends named Catherine both having a daughter named Mary. Cathy hadn’t noticed it before, but it was actually quite funny.

“Mummy,” Elly said, tightly holding on to her mother’s green t-shirt. “Can we show Miss Cathy your music?” Elly had a little smile on her face as she said that. Anne laughed.

“Of course, sweetheart!” she said, putting down Elly and pulling out her phone from her pocket, quickly tapping on it. After one minute, Anne gave Cathy her phone and showed her a song called Greensleeves. “That was the first song i ever produced. It’s how I got to work with Shakesy P, writing lyrics for him. It’s honestly an honor!” Anne said, putting a hand to her heart. Cathy looked at the title and Anne’s name, her full name. Anne Boleyn.

“I have a weird question for you.” Cathy said, giving Anne her phone back.

“Hit it! I like weird stuff.” Anne said, putting her phone back in her pocket.

“Do you happen to have been resurrected? Don’t think me crazy, but I'm Catherine Parr.” she said, feeling the embarrassment rise to her cheeks. “I know you probably think i’m crazy but-” she was interrupted before she could speak by Anne grabbing her by the shoulders and looking right into her eyes.

“You too?” she said in surprise. “Oh my God, i thought i was the only one, thank God!” she said, letting go of Cathy’s shoulders. “Does that mean that Cat is… Catherine of Aragon?” she asked, pointing at Cat, who was now watching as Mary played on the swings.

“Yeah.” Cathy said. “But please don’t fight right now, we still have to find the other queens!” Cathy reasoned. Anne nodded in agreement. “Hey Cat! I found Anne Boleyn!”

_____________________________

CHAPTER 7: Rattled

When she had first laid eyes on him, there was no mistaking Killian was an elf of quality lineage. With his sharp jaw line, piercing eyes, and tipped ears, he was the embodiment of a dashing elf.

However the night he came to pick her up for dinner, less than a week after the embassy dinner debacle, Emma would have never have guessed the man was elf.

His hair was artfully mussed, covering his distinctive pointed ears. He was dressed in a dark leather jacket, a dark blue dress shirt and dark jeans. Perhaps it was the jeans, a vintage human clothing that was all the rage across fashion spreads, that cinched the look, but Emma had been stunned into silence when she’d seen him.

He simply flashed her a cocky grin, as if he knew exactly how good he looked. “I know, Swan,” he had said, even though she hadn’t said a word.

She glared at him, but the effect was lost when she dove in for a kiss to show her appreciation.

“Seriously? You’re supposed to kiss after the date,” Henry complained, even though he was grinning.

“Mae g’ovannen, lad.”

“What do you know about kissing?”

“Mae g’ovannen,” Henry responded, ignoring her.

“Are you sure you’re going to be okay alone?” she asked, deciding to have that conversation with him later.

Henry rolled his eyes, making a ‘go’ motion with his hands. “Yes, mom, I’ll be fine, bye, go enjoy yourselves.”

She shook her head at him, linking her fingers through Killian’s. “Okay. Holo me if anything comes up, okay?”

“Yes, mom. Bye!”

As the door shut behind them, she could feel Killian laughing next to her.

“Oh shut up, just you wait.”

His laughter went silent abruptly, as she realized what she said.

“Emma?” he asked, the question hanging in the air.

“No! I mean, no, not that I know, no I just meant… not that.”

He nodded slowly, blinking, even as his eyes darted to inspect her flat stomach. His long lashes danced across his cheeks, before he exhaled lightly.

“Ready for a night of debauchery, Swan?”

“Are we buckling some swash or something?”

He laughed. “Something like that.”

* * *

“He took you on a cruise?”

“He did,” she confirmed, unable to stop the stupid grin on her face. “Up and down the river.”

“Damn, girl.”

Emma shrugged, sipping her vin in order to stop smiling.

“You’re really happy,” Ruby breathed out.

“Why the tone of surprise?”

The red-headed woman laughed, signaling to the waiter for a refill.

“It’s you, Emma. I love you girl, but you’re not exactly the warmest human this side of Alamané.”

“Gee, thanks.”

“So when do I get to meet him?”

“Woah, slow down,” Emma said, flicking a peanut at Ruby.

In a show of her excellent reflexes, Ruby caught it with her mouth, chewing on it with a shit-eating grin.

“Show off,” Emma muttered.

“Anyway, like I was saying, when do I get to meet him? It better not be on the wedding day itself!”

“For goodness sake,” Emma grumbled.

“Emma,” she whined, “you’re not answering the question.”

“He’s a little shy,” she hedged. No one knew she was dating an elf.

“I’m your best friend!”

“That’s debatable.”

“That’s rude.”

“Bite me,” she said, only to roll her eyes when Ruby grabbed her hand and bit it. The woman was an animal sometimes.

“I would love to join in on this little soiree,” a man’s voice pipped up beside them, sliding onto the open stool next to Ruby.

Emma turned to tell him off when the words died on her tongue. He was an elf. Not that being creepy assholes was limited to the human species, but it was rare to see.

He smiled. “I do have that effect on women, elf or human.”

“The only effect you’ll have from this conversation is my shoe in your arse,” Ruby said, with a cheerful tone that promised pain.

“Feisty, I like it,” the elf said, standing to face them. “and you, my lovely blonde vixen, look familiar. Have we met?”

She hadn’t been introduced formally to elvish society. She lived pretty much on the ‘human’ side of Alamané. It was unlikely that he’d ever seen her, as she’d kept away ever since that night in the embassy.

“You’re not even meeting us now,” Ruby snapped, clearly not in the mood for random hookups tonight.

“And if you decide to ignore her, you’re in for pain. And not the good kind,” Emma added.

“What a pity,” the blonde haired elf drawled, chocolate eyes twinkling at them.

“Yeah sure, bye,” she said, turning her stool to ignore the amused elf.

Ruby was glaring mutinously at the back of his head.

“You okay?” Emma asked, eyeing her friend. Ruby wasn’t usually that rude or standoffish.

“I’m not a racist,” her friendly said quietly, “but lately there’s been an influx of policies that seem to favor elves. I’m just a little pissed with the whole I’m a victim card they’re pulling.”

“What do you mean? How?”

Ruby leaned closer, speaking almost directly into Emma’s ear.

“A lot of it has only been tabled, nothing official. You know it’s my job to read Senator Katherine’s documents and brief her, right? A lot of it is…problematic. Apparently the elves think humans need to be limited to one child a family, because we’re overpopulating the planet. And because the Republic works on a representation basis, it means more humans in the Senate than elves. They’re worried about their interests.”

“Would that be bad?”

Ruby sat back with a sigh, keeping her voice low.

“I’m not saying we humans don’t need better family planning. Clearly some ancient practices of the First Voyagers has stuck around. But this is where it starts. They’ll say let’s stop them from having more children, then it’ll be let’s decide who gets children and so on.”

“Come on Rubes,” Emma cajoled, “they’re just holding humans accountable.”

“The problem is they still act like we just landed on this planet. It’s been 4,000 years!”

“It’s only been 6 generations for them. Isn’t the oldest elf like 900 years old or something?”

“Whose side are you even on right now?”

Emma blinked. Even if she hadn’t just found out about her elvish issues, she would have still had made the same remarks. It was objective, wasn’t it?

She stretched her neck, soothing the muscle with her palm before looking at Ruby.

“I was just saying, is all.”

“Whatever, let’s talk about something else.”

* * *

The breeze was strong up in the penthouse, the clear blue of the Vistula River reflecting the city in its waters. Emma shut the balcony door, leaning against the railing as she took in the city view. Three months had passed in a blink of an eye.

She fingered the chain hanging from her neck, finger dancing in and out of the ring Killian had given her. She could see the desperation in his eyes to accompany the gift with three words, sacred in both English and Elvish, but something about her expression must have stopped him.

And she had wanted to encourage him, perhaps even say it first, and yet…she had faltered, the words dying in her throat in an overwhelming tide of emotion.

He’d taken in it stride, though he couldn’t hide the light dimming in his eyes. It had been the same when she’d been sick two months prior, and he’d hesitantly given her a pregnancy test, only to softly smile at her relief at the negative result. A fake smile, one that said despite his insistence that she was right about a goddamn baby complicating everything, he still wanted it badly.

The weight around her neck had only been there a week, but Emma could no longer imagine not having the comforting presence of the ring resting in the valley of her breasts.

She sighed, taking in the city.

None of Liam’s search had yielded results about her parents. She wondered if they had died, or maybe, truly hadn’t wanted her. Killian was adamant that she had been sent away for protection, but the longer the fruitless search went on, the harder it was to deny that maybe she really was an unwensket.

“What are you thinking about?” a voice asked her, making her jump.

She turned in surprise, the heir to the elven kingdoms walking up to her soundlessly. She hadn’t even heard the door open.

“Stuff,” she responded eloquently.

“Stuff,” Liam repeated, with a bemused smile.

“Stuff,” she affirmed.

“You looked like you were brewing a storm just from your thoughts. Mother used to say that, especially when Killian threw tantrums.”

“He threw a lot of tantrums as a child?”

“What are you talking about, he’s still throwing tantrums.”

“No, now he broods and sulks in corners instead,” she said, laughing at Liam’s little grin.

He rested his forearms on the balcony, looking out in the same direction as she was.

“True. So why are you emulating him?”

“Just thinking.”

“If you say stuff…”

She laughed, nudging him with her shoulder.

“I know I got mad before, but I do want to meet my parents. I mean, I have so many questions.”

“I can only imagine. Unfortunately, it seems like they don’t want to be found.”

“That’s the thing I’m worried about. I mean, I got cycled into the human system. But it shouldn’t be that hard to fish me out from it, if they really wanted to, right?”

“Except it’s not like you stayed in Nysno. Or that we’ve broadcasted your origins.”

“I know, I know. I was moved, I travelled too far, they may have given me a human last name instead of whatever my elvish name is. I know,” she said, ticking off the possible reasons from her fingers.

“Actually… come to think of it… Emma is the human version of Ardhoniel.”

She stood straighter and cracked her knuckles. “Are-thonn-ee-ell? That doesn’t sound like Em-ma.”

“It’s the meaning, not the sound that is translated.”

“What does it mean?”

“Universe. All encompassing. Everything.”

“Hmm… I don’t know about that.”

“I know you’re Killian’s everything,” Liam said, not a trace of irony in his tone.

Despite herself, Emma found her face flushing. “Umm,” she said, “it’s only been a few months.”

“Short yes, but you’ve got the universe backing your claims.”

She sighed. Liam, despite his non-Recognition union, was a strong believer in the fates of true love or whatever.

“We’re still learning one another.”

“Oh please, you’re both madly in love yet dancing around each other despite being together. It’s maddening.”

She ran her fingers through her hair, quickly braiding it so the wind could no longer torment it.

“And to think, you first hated me.”

“You grew on me like moss on a damp forest tree, what can I say,” Liam teased.

“That almost sounded complimentary, you’re losing your touch.”

Before Liam could respond, a loud, insistent rapping on the glass door sounded. They turned in unison to see Killian, a big grin on his face as he held up a glass of mulled vin. He had insisted on remaking their mother’s old recipes.

The door slid open, and Killian poked his head out.

“What’re you two doing out here?”

“World domination plans, little brother.”

“It’s younger, not little, there’s nothing little about me, and two, Elsa is challenging Belle to some kind of trivia competition and I think Belle is winning. You better go referee.”

Liam rolled his eyes in exasperation, shaking his head conspiratorially at Emma.

Killian stepped out, two goblets in his hand.

Liam swiped the one his younger brother was just about to bring to his lips, earning a loud protest and an ensuing tug of war that ended when Liam warned that the liquid was about to spill.

Emma laughed as Liam used that opportunity to tug it neatly out of Killian’s grip, absconding with the mulled vin.

“Asshole,” Killian muttered, glaring at his brother’s smirking face behind the now closed glass door.

“Elves really are no different than humans, you know,” Emma said.

“Yeah, they’re all assholes.”

“Oh, stop being grumpy and let me taste it.”

Turning to her, he visibly brightened as he thrust the goblet in her hand. The nervous, excited energy she could feel from him was sudden and all encompassing. Emma felt a rush of adoration sweep through her as she met his wide blue eyes.

Emma took a delicate sip. It was surprisingly good - fruity, rich and potent.

“Impressive, Your Highness,” she teased.

“Really? It’s good?” He coughed, clearing his throat, “I mean, of course it’s good.”

She rolled her eyes at him, “Yes, it’s good.”

“Anyway, more importantly, do you know what just happened in the kitchen?”

She sipped her wine, nodding at him to continue as her eyes darted to see what could possibly be going on inside. Henry and Gracie were playing holo games. Belle and Elsa were moving their hands animatedly, seemingly talking over each other, while Liam watched like he was a hummingbird undecided between two flowers. Jefferson was the only one in the kitchen.

“What did Jefferson do?” She asked, as Killian said nothing, merely grinning at her madly like he was waiting for the ball to drop.

“Oh, not what Jefferson did, love, but Belle.”

“Belle?”

“Mmhmm.”

“Well, are you going to tell me or what?”

“She asked him out for dinner.”

“She what?”

“Well, more like…” he bit his lip and squinted, “more like, she asked him to dinner tomorrow to discuss something that came up during Gracie’s tutoring.”

Emma groaned, “That is not asking someone out.”

“You just had to be there. Context is key.”

“I didn’t even know Belle liked Jefferson. Oh wait, did he say yes?”

“Of course he said yes.”

“Huh,” she said, peeking another look at the elf in the kitchen.

“What?”

“He’s I mean he’s not… he’s fine with humans, obviously, but um, he’s never struck me as the kinda guy who would date a human. Not that it’s a date.”

“Darling, elf or human, he’s not exactly the most pekný.”

“Pek-what?”

“Pekný,” he repeated, “which is like… being pleasant. Personable.”

“Oh, well yeah, that’s an understatement.”

Emma put her glass down on the ledge, and moved forward to nip at Killian’s lips. The ease of which she could do this, and the sheer comfort it brought her would make her head spin if she thought about it too much, so she simply didn’t.

Before he could escalate their kisses, a shrill alarm sounded from his holo.

“Výstraha! Výstraha!”

They both looked down as Killian straightened his arm out. Výstraha was a warning call, and use of the holo in such a manner was regulated for emergencies only.

A string elvish words followed that warning in panicked, hurried, tone that Emma did not understand. She watched as Killian’s body immediately tensed, his eyes darting around, and was not startled when he grabbed her arm and pushed her inside the penthouse.

“Liam!”

But Liam had already moved towards them. Anticipating her question, Liam looked at her, with his brow furrowed and body tense, face one of shock.

“There was an attack,” was his explanation.

“At the place,” Jefferson clarified, and before she could ask, he said, “The King is dead.”

Mae’s relationship with The boyz

The boyz 12th member

Mae’s masterlist

a/n: happy new year everyone!! Feel free to share your thoughts with me. Requests are open! 🧡

Sangyeon

They are a comforting presence for each other. Mae would trust her entire life to Sangyeon as he is someone she’s sure will never outright judge her or demand something she is not comfortable with. On the other hand, I can see him not worrying too much about her but being careful when her mood seems off, and asking what it was afterward so he’s sure she’s fine again.

The girl usually laughs at his impersonations or weird jokes, which instantly put her into his goody list, and Sangyeon is very thankful for having someone that will hear his random rants without getting caught up in it. More often than not, you can see him standing on the sidelines, cheering for her when he’s aware she’s doing something she’s not very confident in.

Jacob

Becoming trainees at the same time might have been the best thing for them, seeing as they often struggled with the same stuff, and pushed the other through their rough times. Mae sometimes wonders where she would be if it weren’t for Jacob and his insane amount of patience. Also, their personality is very comparable and they’re both soft-spoken most of the time, deobis aren’t even surprised whenever they find out something else they have in common.

They made a habit of going to karaoke rooms before debuting as a way to both practice singing and his Korean but to also rest and have fun. After Kevin joined the company he went along as well and after they became rookies all of the members would occasionally join in on the trio.

Younghoon

Soft, just soft. Both together and for each other. When she’s around Younghoon, Mae actually becomes more clingy and he’s the only one she goes out of her way to show skinship with (back hugs are her favorite). He also gets easily entertained by her antics and likes to joke that he’s her bodyguard.

Vlive moments that usually lead to him making an unintentional innuendo and she gets embarrassed and leaves the room so she doesn’t have to explain what just happened. On that note, Mae doesn’t like helping with English that much because it usually leads the members to getting entertained by her accent, but she makes an exception to Younghoon

Hyunjae

His number one hobby is to make her embarrassed, and considering they, as well as Haknyeon, have been roommates for the longest time Hyunjae has a lot of material to share. He clings to her at every opportunity and is constantly nagging about the amount of clothes Mae has as well as the closet space they take.

Surprisingly or not, he often helps her with choreography and is overall a good listener. She’s also not that bothered by his antics and has grown comfortable enough to tell him to knock it off once she gets over them. Fans didn’t know they were as close until she answered “Hyunjae” when asked which of them she’d want as an actual brother.

Juyeon

The “looks tough but is actually soft” duo. Over the years, he became her number one dance instructor seeing as he’s mostly calm and doesn’t really mind pulling extra hours to help her. We know how Juyeon usually babies Eric, and many fans think he’s like that to Mae as well, but on the contrary, he also prefers to be wary instead of butt in on her business.

Having that said, when the girl shows even 1% discomfort or annoyance in general he’s the first one to step in and help her out. Mae usually feels weird that he acts like that but it usually comes in handy when the group is having a discussion and she needs someone to back her up and be on her side.

Kevin

Kevin has taken pride in being the main reason for her meme awakening. Before he arrived, Mae and Jacob were as close as friends could get, but as Kevin and the boy hit it off, Mae expected to be thrown into the sidelines. She couldn’t be more wrong, considering that he also made a lot of effort into keeping her close, thus beginning the “Kevin getting frustrated at Mae not getting his references” saga.

Lowkey, they just want to chill and listen to questionable music together. Highkey, he wants to get her to twerk with him (he’ll kiss the ground the day she does). Again, Mae is a good listener and often joins in on his random thoughts or simply goes along with whatever he’s doing.

New

Random high note battles and both of them silently judging the others. Chanhee and Mae often fall into a cycle of complaining around but instead of tackling the matter with him she often does nothing, which makes him complain ten times harder. Objectively speaking, he’s the member who helps her the most with organizing her stuff and adulting in general.

The girl randomly drags him with her to the mall to people-watch or makes him do vlives with her just for the sake of it. For some reason, it took them a little while to find common ground but once they did, New became one of her go tos when it came to sharing struggles. On a random note, Mae thought his math tricks were an absolute scam and believed none of it until they were actually tested.

Playfully bickering 24/7. They have many fake arguments, usually around her struggles with some choreographies and his lack of patience when it comes to teaching her. Two months after their debut he decided to let that job fall onto Juyeon and his life became a lot more fun. Around the release of Right Here he went back to randomly giving her tips but please don't leave them alone in a practice room.

When it comes to interests Changmin didn’t think they’d have many in common but after many movie nights, he was quick to find out Mae doesn’t really mind horror and thriller which made her perfect to watch them with him. She does, however, have a problem with the creepy-ass dolls and masks he buys and has sworn someday she will make a bonfire out of them.

Haknyeon

99 babies and eternal roommates. They’re an interesting pair considering Juhaknyeon is more laid back and outgoing and Mae is - according to him - more high maintenance. They did find common ground around the fact that they’re both foodies and 99s vlive mukbangs are a very constant thing.

Also, kind of random but he’s one of the members she would stand by without a second thought. Hak just tries his best to make any situation lively and the girl appreciates it a lot, especially when she’s having a tough time herself, so as gratitude she’s ready to fight anyone for him.

Sunwoo

The other person she would stand by without a problem. It doesn’t really help that Sunwoo acts like an absolute child whenever Mae is near and constantly clings to her like she’ll solve every trouble in the world (flash news, she won’t). The girl finds it kind of comical how he’s always giving her puppy eyes and just pushes his head out of the way for him to snap out of it.

Back to Younghoon when I said someone gets entertained by her accent, that is Sunwoo. He’s constantly repeating the way she says some words or asking her to help him say something, which he knows she doesn’t quite like but does it anyway. Also, not her go-to pastime, but random rap battles are always fun when they happen and they usually end up with one of them on the ground laughing.

Eric

Aka the non-Canadian half of the English line. Also mildly entertained by her Aussie accent but doesn’t show it as often as Sunwoo. When they first met, Eric instantly decided they were going to be friends but once she figured it out it was too late and she couldn’t back down anymore (that’s what she says at least, deep down we know she enjoyed his company just as much).

Mae is the introverted friend to his outgoing self, she usually has to tell Eric to calm down because she grew tired of following him around or got very embarrassed by him randomly approaching a senior. Also worth mentioning he’s her number one hype person and has multiple times made her embarrassed by complimenting her in front of deobis or just random people.

Former member: Hwall/Hyunjun

Fashion buddies. Mae has a habit of randomly dragging him to go shopping and they’ve got to the point of adding items into each other’s carts when they think the other might like it. They have a fun time just walking around and chatting as well, before debuting they’d often share what’s bothering them before getting ice cream to cheer up.

Due to different scheduling, it became harder to keep meeting up but Mae often does her best to sneak around into whatever he’s doing. Also, late-night phonecalls became more regular which led the members into believing she had a boyfriend before finding out it was just Mae catching up with him.
