Unfond of this new style of illustration for item artwork on Neopets- the Chokato Kiko Taffy clearly took a lot of time and effort to render, all for a result that looks vastly more uncanny than the Bubblegum Kiko Taffy + the rest of the item set it was based off of.

The final image is only 80x80px, there's no need to give it that type of rendering treatment! It only makes image less clear. In addition, making the pupils smaller, adding an outline to the iris and reducing the mouth to a pinprick combine to make the face look creepy and haunted doll-like instead of cute.

How does a Ghost work?

All you need to know about the rules of Ghost Physiology, a lesson brought to you by Fenton Works!

—✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

✦Ectoplasm✦ The substance that makes up the entirety of a ghost’s physical form. It also comes in many forms and densities. From a thick slime to an almost watery liquid to a dangerous plasma. Depending on the ghost, Ectoplasm can vary in many qualities, such as corrosiveness. Usually the thicker slime variants are harmless and if dangerous at all will only cause a minor rash or dull burning feeling.  The more liquid or plasma like it becomes, the more likely it is to be harmful to touch, however there are exceptions to this rule! So please use caution when handling! Considering some ectoplasm variants have been known to eat through flesh and even steel in a matter of seconds, you should always wear protective equipment when dealing with the substance or avoid it entirely. Additionally, depending on the form the ectoplasm takes, it can evaporate rather quickly.  Ectoplasm also comes in a variety of bright or neon colors, although all will have at least some sort of glowing quality to them. Green is the most common, however pink, cyan, yellow, purple, and red are other colors to look out for! Ghosts tend to leave an ectoplasmic residue where ever they most frequent. It manifests in more hidden areas of the location such as pipes and the inside of walls. This can cause a lot of property damage and you will need to call a professional to both remove the ghost and work with your ghost related insurances for a clean up estimate. If a haunting occurs any longer, you risk ingesting and coming into skin contact with ectoplasm and if you survive you will need to seek medical attention immediately.  ✦Forms✦ Be sure to remember, ghosts can come in many forms. Big or small, they all have the same capacity to do harm to the living. Many think of the more simply shaped ghosts, usually blob-like with eyes and a mouth. Or maybe one eye and many mouths. Either way, do not let that mental image lead you astray. Ghosts can look very animal or human like. Some can be unrecognizable as anything knowable from nature. Some can create disguises indistinguishable from the living. The latter grotesquely peels off if damaged by the right equipment. There are signs to look for in those that don’t go out of their way to disguise themselves. Some are obvious where others are not. A faint glow about their skin or fur, depending on humanoid or animal shapes taken. Strange colors to them, in any or even every aspect. Look for size differences or an unusual number of limbs, eyes, or mouths. (or a lack of those qualities) They can look quite sickly in some cases. One such case appears to be a blonde haired older teenager with pale “greasy” skin, his motive is usually to relentlessly flirt with living teenage girls. So he often comes into contact range with the living.  There are others that specialize in expert shape shifting. You should pay attention to vocal and behavioral changes in people you know to discern whether or not you’re talking to something you don’t actually know.   

✦Resistances & Immunities✦ A ghost has many passive physiological functions, the most notable being almost untouchable. While they have physical forms, ghosts’ bodies can only be touched by a living creature if they want it to happen. Barring specific equipment or treatments a living human can undergo. This does not appear to always be the case for inanimate objects, as we know some ghosts can bump into walls and furniture (and even break things) on accident. (However, we at Fenton Works study this phenomenon in only the most ghost active hot spots. Which could skew that specific information due to a lot of materials, objects, and products,  more often than not, being treated with anti-ghost materials and substances.)    Given the above information, you should be aware that ghosts’ physical forms usually cannot be affected by weaponry or containments of any kind. For the former, on the off chance it does work, we recommend giving the ghost a quick wide berth after your attack, as ectoplasm splatter may be dangerous and will most definitely stain clothing– if not destroy it. The right equipment; treated with a special synthetic type of ectoplasmic material, extracted material from special types of plants, or made with a special type of ore, are the only things we know of that can deal with the constant ghostly threat. 

✦Eating Habits✦ As far as we know, ghosts do not truly need food to keep their forms from deteriorating like a living person does. However, they can eat pretty much anything. Food, objects, cloth, other ghosts–usually humanoid ghosts will go for animal-like ghosts in much the same way the living hunts an animal to eat. They don’t lose out from not eating, however they do gain from the act of eating. Depending on what they eat, ghosts appear to become slightly more powerful or energetic. The consumed material acting as something akin to a fuel for a fire.  *We do have on record, many types of ectoplasm based foods within the ghost zone. Not just animals, but also fruits, vegetables, and grains. Do plants create ghosts of themselves when they die? A subject that bears further looking into. 

✦Specialized Functions✦ Ghosts who have special abilities, such as weather manipulation– infuses ectoplasmic energies into whatever it is they do. This adds an extra danger to say, a flood or a blizzard. You do not want to be flooded by ectoplasm contaminated water or pelted with ecto-infused snow. It is important to follow any protocol your local government, school, or workplace issues for ghost related emergencies. There should be documents at any of these establishments relating to any situations we have recorded previously. If you have not been briefed on what to do in these events, you may be entitled to receive compensation for any damages you manage to survive.  

✦Drive or Motive✦ It is sometimes difficult to tell what a ghost’s true motives are. However there are many that are compelled to tell you, if they are able, exactly what they want. Every ghost has a basic emotional drive relating to some sort of attachment. We assume this attachment is related to things they loved or worked with often in life. They will be persistent as it is almost all they can think about. So please call a professional if you suspect a haunting occurring.  

✦Behavior Pattern✦ Most ghosts actually are very passive and neutral. Tending to leave the living alone and simply exist. However, due to the fact that they still affect areas they inhabit with their residue, they can cause unintentional damages and harm to the living. So even these types of ghosts must be relocated or dealt with in some manner.  The types most often talked about may be outnumbered by the non-aggressive types, but they do significant enough damage even when there is only one around that they must immediately be taken care of by a local ghost hunting team. The aggressive types will go out of their way to satiate their driving motive by any means available to them. This includes but is not limited to; physical harm of any living being in the area, property destruction, water and food contamination, power drainage, theft of property, abduction of the living, and even death of the living.  Some ghosts may attempt to push the living out of a home or establishment in a bid to obtain a territory for itself. They may even engage in conflict with one another over a perceived territory. Or work together as a means to push the living out.  There are no records of any ghost going out of it’s way to do anything beneficial for or to help the living. Other ghosts, yes. But the living? They may trick the living if their goal is to gain something from them, but they will not selflessly act to help them in any manner. They especially will not engage in combat with other ghosts to do so. So be wary if a ghost is offering you assistance or “protecting” you. This is likely a manipulation tactic of some kind.

✦Ghost Language✦

All newly formed ghosts will be unable to communicate with the living. We can use special devices to understand them. Or they can try to get their points across in other ways. However, don’t expect a ghost to be up for a game of charades. The age at which a ghost is finally able to speak to the living in an understandable way, without the use of an aid of some kind, varies from ghost to ghost. But most research into the subject suggests that it must have at least been ten years since the first formation of their physical form.

@authorofthejournals asked → " it's a strange world, isn't it? " ( src. / accepting. )

There are probably better ways to put it, but Brant can't help agreeing with the sentiment offered to him by the strange drifter—not a Fool, and almost certainly not of Rinascita in the first place.

"A strange world indeed, my newfound friend," he replies, eyes set on the comings-and-goings of Elysium around them for a moment before they find their way back to the odd stranger. "Your mysterious circumstances have left you stranded in an even stranger part of it. You're lucky we stumbled across you; the mist is rolling back in, and this whole island will soon be deadly to any and all unfortunate souls who find themselves wandering its wastes."

It's an exaggeration for the sake of intrigue, but only slightly. Those members of the Troupe who can confidently brave the mists alone number only two—Brant himself, and Roccia. The newcomer doesn't appear to have a Tacet Mark, so Brant supposes he'd likely be counted among those who wouldn't last particularly long.

Thinking gloomy thoughts like that, Brant feels the urge to occupy his hands, and so pulls out the orange in his pocket he'd been saving for later, tossing it up and catching it once, then twice.

"Your comment speaks to some inquisitive desire, but it's one I'm afraid I can't answer in vivid, rational detail. We're far more concerned with the question of 'what' than the question of 'why', for reasons that are likely obvious. Still, if there's anything specific you'd like to know about this place, I'll vow to do my utmost in the way of satisfying your curiosity while you're stuck in here with our motley crew!"

[fiepige]

I'm seriously considering posting about my concept for Venom!Hobie (I know that canonically Hobie would NEVER accept a symbiote due to how they're used in his universe but I just think it'd look really cool lol)

I have a bunch of ideas about the design but I CANNOT draw lol (I know cringe is dead but I honestly don't know if I should post the sketch I made...)

The implications of Hobie having a symbiote just fascinates me, like what would it require for him to actually accept one? What would be his breaking point? Or would the symbiote have to really mess up his head to convince him?

(Also I'm a sucker for some good angst where the spider-gang would have to try and save Venom!Hobie from the symbiote somehow cause they'd know that deep down Hobie would never want this)

EDIT:

Made a post where I talk about Venom!Hobie here for anyone who's interested!

·˚𓆉 ༘₊· PURELY RELAXATION PURPOSES: Explained 𓇼 ∘˚

to reach pure consciousness, let’s take the weight off your shoulders

so in my recent recent success post, i explained that the second time this week when i induced i went in purely for relaxation purposes, i also tell people this a lot in dms when i feel that they are putting the state of pure consciousness on too much of a pedestal. I did make a post about this a year ago but i feel as if im more well versed on this type of thing.

So with any method you are trying to use, whether it be a ten step lucid dream type of thing or a simple “I AM” meditation, it would be much easier if you just removed the intention of manifesting your desires. Tell yourself you’re just inducing for relaxation purposes. Because you are, you have your dream life, there is nothing to do creation is finished, you don’t need to induce for your desires because you already have them you already have them, no need to be afraid of failing when it’s already yours.

So what you’re going to tell yourself is that your dream life doesn’t ride on the inducing of pure consciousness because you already have your life. You would hire cleaners for a house that is squeaky clean, would you? So you’re only inducing for relaxation, to “connect with your god self” or something along those meditative, spiritual lines.

and how does that work in your brain?

you know you already have your desires → you don’t need to anything for them, even inducing pure consciousness → so you’re just going for spiritual purposes or to relax → the state of pure consciousness immediately comes off this pedestal because you don’t NEED it anymore (it's like those manipulative boys who stop being obsessed with a girl when they finally make them their girlfriend because they love the “chase” more) if you don’t NEED it, it takes it off that high pedestal → your desires aren’t riding on this “trip to the void” because you already have them → allows a weight to be lifted off your shoulders → you can finally relax instead of forcing and you can finally properly let go!! → you’ll induce pure consciousness in no time

i really would recommend watching this video and this video, also this one and this one too, and definitely looking at the comments, because they aren’t filled with shifting obsessed people who are SO desperate for a shift (no offence lol). The poster and the comments are filled with normal people who treat the void state for what it is: a form of relaxing meditation. They talk about their void experiences with emotion yet don’t sound so desperate, they’re so casual about it. That’s what you need.

The videos also only explain the void state and how they get in. That’s it. no other stuff. Because you don’t need anything but an explanation and a method.

That’s the type of energy you need to be around. It’s not something super powerful or cool, that is you the void state is a state of pure awareness. It’s just a cool meditation you can do sometimes.

No more manifestation purposes, what are you manifesting? TRICK QUESTION BITCH, it’s NOTHING because there is NOTHING YOU NEED. TO DO. NOTHING. You’re just inducing for relaxation or to “tap in with your inner self” YOU CANT MANIFEST SOMETHING YOU ALREADY HAVE.

Treat your desires like legs, yes i know it sounds weird. But im assuming you all have legs, so when you think about all you want to manifest in this state of void legs are probably the last thing you think about, why? because you already have them, it’s already yours so there’s nothing to do. Are you watch “SUPER STRONG: ✨ legs subliminal ✨” no because you already have them.

So make the comparison, “i’m not tweaking over having legs because i have them and they’re natural to me

THEREFORE

i’m not tweaking over my dream life because i have it already and it’s natural for me”

it’s not possible that you don’t get what you want. Think of yourself as the spoiled little princess and your subconscious mind being the well-off dad who never tells her no. It’s not possible for you not to get what you want. So why are inducing for a life you already have.

you’re just going in there to relax, remember, purely relaxation purposes…nothing else….

𖥸˚∘ take the void state of that pedestal and prioritise relaxation ·˚𓆉 ༘₊·

Enhypen when you’re their Bite Me dance partner

Idol!enha x background dancer reader (they’re female, but I didn’t use any pronouns so can be read as gn) 945 words. ⚠️PSA: just bc idols interact with the other gender doesn’t mean it’s romantic and I am in no way trying to imply that!! This is fanfiction and shouldn’t be taken too seriously!! ⚠️

Heeseung

No because when you first meet him he seems so calm and polite and you’re like “wow this is gonna work out so well”

Because even tho he’s super hot (hello?) He’s not trying to use it on you

But we’re all very familiar with the switch up when he starts performing

suddenly he’s smirking and holding eye contact and just 😳

You feel like you might need to go take a lap and cool off

HAVE YOU SEEN THAT PART IN THE SECOND VERSE WHERE LIKE HE GRABS HIS DANCERS HANDS DOWN HIS CHEST??? (1:39 in the 230602 mubank performance 🫣)

He chills out eventually but the first time he literally made you run your hands down his chest 🫠🫠🫠

“You know you can touch me right?”

He notices your hesitant movements and literally grabs your hands to put them on his neck 🥵

“See that wasn’t so hard was it?” bark bark bark bark bark

Jay

Literally SO respectful

When you guys meet for the first time he goes out of his way to get to know you because he doesn’t want it to be awkward when you start dancing

He keeps it up later too, he always asks “is this okay?” before putting his hands on your back or anything (even when you’ve run the song fifty times)

Every time you come back on stage he gives you a little wink 🫠

And everytime you do the like dip/lean back thing he makes silly faces at you when you come back up 😭

So all the fancams are trying to figure out why you’re laughing in the middle of the dance 😔

Jake

Okay because he’s a flirt and he knows that he should keep it professional with you but you’re just so pretty 🥹 he can’t help it

You notice how he always seems to be touching you a little longer than everyone else

Like Jake the choreographer stopped everyone five minutes ago why are you still holding on 🤨

Always acts like he’s gonna drop you when you lean back in that one part (I hope you know what I’m talking about)

Like he’ll have his hands on your waist and then let go just to watch you drop and then catch you again

(He thinks your angry face is cute when the song ends and you smack him for it)

Bites his lip EVERYTIME on the part where you touch his chin 🫣

Sunghoon

He’s so awkward I’m sorry 😭😭

Like you’re ready to start dancing and make your choreographer proud but he’s really making it hard

You can tell he doesn’t love the idea of touching you (rude 😐) so you try to go a little easier on him

You just lay your hands on him instead of grabbing or anything, and you don’t lean as far back bc he’s not actually holding your waist he’s just putting his hand in front of it ����

But then the choreographer yells at him because he’s gonna end up dropping you so he has to actually touch you

“Uh is this okay? Where- where should I?”

You try not to laugh at his bashfulness, grabbing his hand and putting it on your waist

“You have to support my back right here okay? Don’t let me fall.”

BUT HES THE ONE WHO FELL (for you) 🤭🤪🤩

Sunoo

Literally made you feel instantly comfortable, he has the least threatening aura ever

He was all “hi! I’m sunoo!! I can’t wait to dance with you 🥰😁”

And you were like ☺️

At one point when you guys had marked it a few times, not actually doing the partner stuff you looked at him and went “are you sure you can hold me up?”

It’s not like he had to hold all of your body weight but like dang you needed some support ya know, and he just moved so gently that you were a little suspicious

This offended him immensely of course, and he picked you up right then and there

Just threw you over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes

“Yeah, I’ll be okay”

okayyyyyyyyyy 🥵

Jungwon

Slow burn x100 bc he’s a responsible and professional leader 👏

He asked Niki about how to better dance with a partner because he didn’t have any experience with it and wants to make sure he does a good job 🥹 (my baby)

He is DETERMINED to make this choreography perfect, and is not afraid to correct you

“Make sure you actually touch my chest when you do that, it doesn’t look as good when you just pretend.”

Okay Jungwon 🤭 I’m sure that’s why 🤭

When he starts really performing with facials and everything you’re literally losing it 😭

Like face burning bright red, what happened to the cute guy you were dancing with for the last month why is he staring into your soul mid dance

One time he touched your knee while you did the like drag up by their chin move and you literally had to take a walk

Riki

He knows what he’s doing okay?

Like I said previously, he’s the only one with experience in partner dancing

So you were worried at first that he’d be shy because you knew he was the youngest one

But then the first time you ran the song together he grabbed your waist and dropped you so low your ponytail wiped the floor 😭😭

He makes SO MUCH eye contact you literally are on the verge of combusting

When the boys point it out he says it’s because he has to watch you to make sure you don’t need anything because that’s what good observant partners do (boys a liarrr)

Since you’re one of the ones that has to start on the ground he always put his jacket on the ground during practice so you wouldn’t hurt your back/shoulders 😭😭

more SVSSS stuff for y'all, although this is new.

I've been toying with the idea of writing a little ditty I wrote a little of a thing, where SY gets dumped into PIDW as himself, just a random NPC with a dutiful little System just doing its best. this is my design for him, including his spiritual weapons. more details below the read more.

my other SVSSS art -> [ here ] & [ here ] shout out to adornedwithlight for the reblog banner

SY is definitely a fuerdai (second-gen rich kid) but he's not exactly the healthiest. He's smart and graduated college, and in this universe he's a celebrated published author, like in this post by @/princessdave (should I tag them? hurk idk, lemme know?). The rest of his family is famous in some way because of their wealth, but he's basically a hermit. He dresses well because he can afford to, but he'd happily live in rags and squalor so long as he has some food, a bed, and trash webnovels to read.

After he accidentally dies after cussing out Airplane's shitty cliffhanger ending, SY finds himself in a predicament. The System he first encounters is the System from canon: a rude bitch trying to put his soul into SQQ. SY nopes out of there, cites bodily autonomy, pitches an unholy fit, and somehow, someway, there's an error. Either SQQ didn't die during his Qi Deviation, or it's too early in the timeline and SY can't do any body snatching! Hallelujah!

The OG System, having lost its Host and overall purpose, discards SY like yesterday's news. He's left behind in the empty space, and is tentatively approached by this new System. It tells him that he can't go back to his body since he's dead as a doornail and offers to pop him into the PIDW universe. SY's millenial ass just goes "meh, fuck it, we ball" and he's thrown into PIDW as himself.

The new, Benevolent System accompanies SY, and attaches itself to him. It explains the B-Points system and promises to be helpful, immediately giving SY 100 starting B-Points and opening the System Store. SY takes full advantage, and uses his 100 points to the fullest in adjusting his body to survive and thrive in a Xianxia setting like PIDW. He then asks where in the plot he was dumped into the story, and the System tells him. (Haven't decided on whether to start pre-PIDW storyline, or at the SVSSS storyline start, either way, it works.)

Clearly a scholar more than anything else, SY immediately hyper-fixates on writing the best bestiaries across the PIDW-verse, so the fashion he buys from the System Store is all modest at best, although he'd splurged to get a Qiankun pouch. He'd also vehemently argued with his System to be able to justify keeping his hair as short as possible ("if it's too long it's just going to get in the way when I study monsters! I don't have the time to care for it!")

SY focused his cultivation on useful things, and the System responded accordingly. He gained skills with Alchemical Arts, Formation (Array) Arts, Talisman Arts, Beast Cultivation, and Martial Arts focused on the shortsword and the fan. The System manifested itself into SY's fan, to provide an easier interface during his travels, and his first mission led him to find his spiritual shortsword.

Yù Shòu Shī Rèn 驭兽师刃 — The Beastmaster's Blade

A legendary weapon created by a powerful cultivator who was both a master of beasts and a warrior. This cultivator forged the weapon after making a pact with a heavenly demonic beast, granting them the ability to call upon creatures for assistance in battle. The blade was crafted using beast materials—the fang of a Heavenly White Snow Dragon* and the claw of an Abyssal Flame Ghost Hound**—imbuing it with both spiritual and physical properties. * Tiān Bái Xuě Lóng (天白雪龙) ** Shēn Yuān Yàn Guǐ Quǎn (深渊焰鬼犬) In combat, the Beastmaster's Blade allows SY to summon beasts, control their movements, and enhance his own combat abilities by drawing power from these creatures. The blade has a secondary power, allowing SY to bond with a specific creature and form a partnership that amplifies both SY’s and the beast’s abilities. Depending on the bond strength, the blade can allow SY to temporarily transform into a more beast-like form, gaining enhanced senses, strength, or agility. It can also allow SY to merge his consciousness with a creature, enabling them to fight as one. The blade can also be used to command and direct beasts, issuing silent commands that the creatures obey, making SY an unstoppable force when surrounded by beasts in combat. The Beastmaster's Blade is a powerful and mystical weapon designed for a cultivator who can control, summon, and bond with beasts. Whether used to fight alongside beasts or to subdue them, the weapon emphasizes mastery over nature, the power of spiritual connection, and the balance between destruction and harmony. It is a weapon for those who understand that true power comes not only from force but from the deep bond between a cultivator and the natural world.

Rén Cí Xì Tǒng Shàn 仁慈系统扇 — Benevolent System Fan

The fan itself is an elegant yet powerful weapon. It is a spiritual and otherworldly artifact, not only physically capable of defending SY, but also carrying the ability to influence the world through the System’s applications. It allows SY to prevent conflicts or resolve disputes with missions and Scenario Pushers. The System helps SY grow and influence the world around him in an active way, molding what was once a garbage story with solid roots into something worth reading. Unlike other systems that may have less than benevolent intentions, SY’s System encourages him to grow emotionally and reach self-fulfillment while enhancing the story. Missions from the System push SY to develop in the PIDW world, and all outcomes result in some type of reward for SY’s efforts, whether it be with behind-the-scenes insights, improved cultivation abilities, stronger fan powers, or even a free-pass deus ex machina. In combat, the fan focuses more on subduing rather than killing unless strictly necessary, using gentle yet powerful techniques that leave enemies incapacitated, cured, or redeemed. The fan boasts the ability to change the direction of the flow of energy, as well as wind-based powers, representing the System and SY’s will to shift the flow of the disastrous PIDW world around him.

James Sunderland Headcanons/Analysis! (SFW) Stuff about his job, dad, music, tidbits

These are based on Remake James! It's a little easier to come up with headcanons for remake James, since he's a bit more expressive here than the OG. Job:

James is an office clerk (this is confirmed canon), which means he has a job revolving around paying attention to detail. He keeps track of financial records, transactions, orders, supplies, and various other things that an office needs to run smoothly. He's messy, but he's good at his job and has a careful eye for detail. It makes sense for him since he's able to notice small things in Silent Hill that help him progress.

James is well-versed in using office software and spreadsheets, and sometimes is tasked with doing minor trouble-shooting for coworkers. James has an ongoing battle with a faulty office printer.

James prefers this kind of work, even if it doesn't exactly fill him with joy. He's definitely an introvert, but doesn't mind helping others if needed.

James does NOT participate in casual Friday. He always wears his button-down shirt and tie. Prefers not to get too casual about work; he likes to keep those spheres separate. Dad:

James sold his car to help with medical bills that weren't covered by his insurance. His father gave him his old 1977 Pontiac Ventura for free. It's the car his dad drove when he was growing up.

The car barely ran and James taught himself how to fix it. It was his only distraction from Mary's illness.

James has a strained relationship with his father, because he's just super weird. He's caught his dad saying and doing strange things, for instance, holding the box with Walter Sullivan's umbilical cord and just staring at it. One night, James came home from hanging out with his friends, and saw his dad in the kitchen, holding up a knife and staring at the wall as if in a trance. James was freaked out and decided to just come back home in the morning.

This might be dumb and random but I feel like Frank Sunderland doesn't have the best hygiene and his apartment smells. James is probably used to gross stuff. He doesn't like it, but he can deal with it.

James's mom left because she couldn't handle being around Frank anymore. James ended up growing up through his teen years with just his dad. Music:

James strikes me as the kind of guy who listens to The Police, Hall & Oates, maybe REM. Enjoys music with prominent bass lines. He probably listens mainly to hits from different bands as well.

Tends to prefer light rock. Metal isn't really his thing.

James's guilty pleasures are Duran Duran and Cocteau Twins.

I have his shuffle here!:

Tidbits:

James doesn't seem to laugh much, but he does have a sense of humor somewhere in there. Usually it's pretty dry and sarcastic. He appreciates observational humor.

Mary was fond of puns. He always pretended to hate them and roll his eyes, but would end up smiling or chuckling anyway.

James isn't much of a sweets guy, but his favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla. His favorite soda is Coke. He liked Coke floats as a kid. Favorite dessert is apple pie.

Drinks his coffee black.

Tried to tend to Mary's garden when she was sick, but he was overwhelmed by it and being unable to regrow the plants just made him feel worse. He didn't have her green thumb.

      “Daddy, honey has that weird look again.” Aaron can’t help but smile at his little boy, putting the files he was working on down on his desk, telling him to come closer with his hands. Jack had gotten into the habit of calling you honey very early on in your relationship, that being one of the pet names Aaron used the most when talking to you. It was too endearing to correct him, even after you moved in. You both just let the boy be, knowing that he would call you by name once he got older.

      You didn’t mind him not calling you mom or any of its variants, even if the relationship you shared now was much alike mother and child, Jack didn’t remember a lot of Haley by himself, he was too little, but Aaron always did his best to keep her memory alive in him, so if for his young mind it was easier to call you a pet name, you would take it every single time with a smile. And so would Aaron. 

      “What look, buddy?” He asks even though he’s sure he knows the answer, having been through that a few times over the last two years. 

      “She’s staring at my stuff and sitting on the floor.” Bingo. Every once in a while you would get obsessed with something, it made sense after you were diagnosed with ADHD and he learnt how to accommodate you properly, but for a while it was just a big clash of his organized and controlling nature and your chaotic mind. 

      “Let’s see what she needs, okay?” Jack nods, leading the way with his dad closely behind. They find you exactly as his boy explained to him, sitting with your legs crossed on the floor, staring at his wardrobe so attentively it might scare the unknown eye. 

      “Darling? What’s going on?” He asks without entering the room, not wanting to invade your space before you called him in, instead he decided to lean on the door frame, observing you with his kind eyes.

      “I want to rearrange all of Jack’s clothes but we need more hangers for that and I don’t want to go to the store just to buy hangers, but I also can’t get up to go to the kitchen and check what else we need.” You answered quickly, finishing your ramble with a huff, dropping your shoulders and looking at your fiancé with a pout that made him get closer to you, offering his hands so you could have some support while getting up, you lazily do it, being embraced by him as soon as your feet touch the ground. 

      “Go watch something with Jack, okay?” His tone is always soft, as if your conversations, even the silliest and mundane ones, were secrets for you two to keep. He knew you too well, so he prevented the whine he knew would come–you wanted to get this done, you needed to rearrange Jack’s clothes or the itch in your brain wouldn’t leave–and he did so by holding both of your cheeks with his hands, making you look at him. “I’ll make the shopping list and then you both can go to Target while I get some reports done.” You nod happily, his hands moving with your head. 

      Telling you to watch something with Jack could seem like a mindless choice of words, but it wasn’t, Aaron knew you were feeling stuck and how bad that made you feel, you needed a dopamine kick before you could do something, and no better way for that than colorful silly shows with your favorite boy.

      By the time he’s done with the shopping list, you had already started another important project: Napping on the couch with Jack. So he leaves it attached with a magnet on the fridge, gives you both soft forehead kisses and goes back to work, not minding the fact he did it quickly for no reason, happy you were resting and that it was done for when you decided to shop.

Meme is appropriate because they are clowning. I've been working on writing Theodora and Ondolemar's first meeting (from this fic) in her pov because we must examine the blorbos from all angles! Under the cut for suggestive content:

“I can afford to be loose on occasion for if the lesser races want to worship one of their own, it will not change their inferiority. In fact I think it is good, it shall pacify them, making things all the easier.” Oh my Commander. Either he was an idiot himself, yet, with his rank she thinks that cannot be, or he was more drunk than she thought. Or perhaps she was more charming then she gave herself credit for, already far from humble about her social skills. It occurred to her to be funny, insisting she had an amulet of Talos somewhere on her person. Carefully hidden so he must search thoroughly, strip back the layers from her wool dress to her small clothes underneath, just to be certain. He takes his work so seriously so it would be fun and hopefully she will be stripped roughly by him but, she chooses not to speak that yet, deciding to have fun with something else he said. The mer speaks of pacifying the lesser races while rambling to her, grinning at her touch. Not the most versed in Dominion propaganda, Theodora doesn’t expect such behaviour is fitting for a proud Altmer, especially not a Thalmor in a leadership position. So she laughs.

“Yes, yes the famous mer supremacy I’ve heard about. Well Commander if you’re so superior, then why have you been hitting on me half the night?” Theodora lays it on thick, fluttering her eyelashes at him, trying to look both seductive and bashful. It seems she could have the makings of an actor because despite the fact the Imperial is anything but bashful about the carnal pleasures, her mannerisms work perfectly. His gloved fingers brush a piece of hair out of her face and she wants nothing more than to rest her cheek in his hand, except perhaps remove the article of clothing to suck on his fingers; a hint for what else she enjoys doing. But she doesn’t get to do that, nor any other act that’s crossed her mind since their conversation started, for he is an idiot indeed.

“Well, although such relations are frowned upon on the Isle, in the absence of Altmeri women, one must make due with what’s around.”
