Crosby also remembers Keith Tkachuk's hockey-crazed sons Matthew and Brady - who were 9 and 7 at the time - running around and playing mini sticks. Crosby posed for a picture with them at some point during the weekend, as both boys were big fans of the Penguins captain.
Now that the Tkachuk brothers are All-Stars themselves, and shared that Eastern Conference locker room as Crosby's teammates during this weekend's festivities in Florida, Matthew - who finished as MVP - said they found themselves 'in awe' of him … and made sure to recreate that photo.
"It's a guy you grew up watching and looking up to, not only his game, but the leadership off the ice and all that," Brady said. "So to be able to kind of just see him, have some conversations with him over this weekend - it kind of makes you feel like a fanboy again."
Hearing Crosby's peers speak of him with reverence is certainly nothing new.
"It's awesome to be around him. Kind of intimidating sometimes," admitted Johnny Gaudreau, who got the locker stall next to Crosby in his ninth All-Star Game, and first in the Eastern Conference now that the former Flame is with Columbus. "But just such a normal guy. It's just great to be around him, and it's just a really cool experience for me."
Oilers superstar Connor McDavid, regarded as the reigning best player in the league, has repeatedly referenced how he's never won the way Sid has, with Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner saying the Golden Goal from the 2010 Olympics went "viral" in his household.
"I grew up with a couple of those Crosby Reebok sticks. Those were one of my favorite sticks growing up," said Marner, who rode with Crosby from their hotel to the rink for the All-Star Game on Saturday afternoon, with the fans loving their interactions together. "Anything that had the Crosby name on it, I wanted it in my hands."
Speaking of sticks, Lightning netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy, a two-time Stanley Cup Champion and Vezina Trophy winner as the league's best goalie, wasn't sure what to write when he exchanged twigs with Crosby … but that the inscription would likely include the word 'legend.' That's the same word his fellow Russian, Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov, used multiple times when referring to Crosby.
But in speaking with some of the younger guys around the league that are in leadership positions for their respective clubs - like Brady as captain of the Ottawa Senators at age 23, and Nick Suzuki as captain of the Montreal Canadiens, also at age 23 - what stood out this year is not just those fun anecdotes … but also how they spoke unprompted about the example Crosby provides to them with how he carries himself. 
"He's really, really well spoken," Suzuki said. "Down to earth guy. Probably doesn't know how big of an idol he is to everyone around him. So it's cool to see that, just how humble he is. And he works extremely hard, so he's a great guy to learn from."
-It Never Gets Old Having Crosby at All-Star Weekend
wow they’re all so horny for him…

Color Blinded ||
Pairing: Matt Murdock x Reader
Words: 4,733
Overview: People are born seeing in black and white with the promise that they'll finally see color the moment they first look into their soulmate's eyes. For reasons that should be obvious, Matt has lost all hope in ever finding his own soulmate. I've been working on this dang prompt since the beginning of my blog and now finally, after suffering endless months of writers block and several rewrites, it's finally done in time for my 500 followers milestone🥳 ~ Maple
Marvel Masterlist 🖤 Fandom Masterlist 🖤 Requests
Tumblr media
"Oh, those are beautiful!"
You hum at Karen's greeting comment which sticks in your head more than you'd care to admit. Leaning in to inhale the pleasant aroma, you decide that the bouquet certainly does smell beautiful if that's what she means, although you doubt it is.
Peeking at the bundle of roses through half-lidded eyes, you can't say you're particularly impressed by those dark veins carved into each delicate petal, only succeeding in making them appear both old and wrinkled. That being said, they're dreadfully boring in your own judgment, but even so, you don't doubt that they must look wonderful to everyone else.
"I'll take your word for it."
"Are they a gift from someone special?" Her hint is innocent enough, given through a giggle and teasing sway of her body yet it causes a sudden arrow to pierce your heart.
Ever so carefully, you select the best looking rose (still based on your own poor judgment) and hand it to the surprised secretary, "The corner store near my apartment just got a fresh shipment so I thought, since people usually like flowers, maybe I could bring some for the firm - as a sign of appreciation for all your help...I know. It isn't much, but I-"
"-That's very thoughtful of you."
You pray no one notices the way you turn a little too quickly to the voice, your heart lurching before filling with a familiar warmth that would be considered a welcomed comfort if not for how inappropriate it is in the given situation. Of course, because there's nothing appropriate about the way you view Matthew Murdock; your lawyer in whom you share a strictly professional relationship, thus respect and gratitude should be the extent of your feelings towards the man.
Alas, as Matt leans against his office door with a radiant smile that makes your heart flutter like a hummingbird's wings, you allow yourself to foolishly imagine - even if just for a blink - that said smile is built custom for you and you alone. How outlandish.
It's honestly quite pathetic how you're able to hand Foggy a rose without falter yet the same steady hand trembles like a leaf by the mere action of extending one towards Matt. There, you hover the blossomed flower in the air awkwardly before rather shamefully realizing your terrible error and the reason as to why he doesn't accept it despite your wordless prompt; he can't take what he doesn't see.
"H-Here. For you, Mr. Murdock."
"Thank you," His voice is whispered and deep - sinfully so - as his reach fumbles about until finally brushing against your hand which he uses to then guide his own to the rose's stem. The feeling of his calloused fingertips running all too slowly over your skin made you dizzy which is perhaps what ultimately led you to miss the miraculous way Matt avoids every thorn once officially claiming the rose as his own despite the complete clumsiness of his previous touch seconds ago.
You never stood a chance at functioning properly after that, far too focused on him as he lifts the rose to his nose for a sniff, letting it brush just under his nostrils with a tickle that makes the corners of his plump lips twitch upwards into his cheeks to form a gentler smile than before. Huh. He hasn't shaved recently it seems. His facial hair is more noticeable than it had been when you first came to the firm a few weeks ago -
"They're pink!" You blurt out, warmth immediately rising to your cheeks, "I, um...The shop had a list of all the rose color meanings and pink supposedly means gratitude, so I wanted to get pink ones. They are pink...aren't they?"
"Well, I'd sure say so! This has got to be the deepest shape of pink I've ever seen on a flower! Hey, think it'll look nice on my suit? Maybe I should start wearing one everyday?" Foggy's kind enough to reassure, holding the rose to his pocket and striking a few dramatic poses which gains a chuckle from Karen.
"Are roses even court appropriate attire?"
"Who cares? It's Wednesday! On Wednesday we wear pink, Karen!"
You stand in silence, watching as the two bicker playfully in a conversation that feels too distant to join yourself despite only being mere feet away. Filled with dismay once again, you find it difficult not to peer down at the remaining roses in longing, wishing to see even a blink of their bright hue.
You've heard pink's a beautiful color found in flowers and the sunset. According to your sister, a blanket in your house is an ugly shade of pink, and Foggy says the color suits Karen as she tucks her rose behind her ear carefully, yet you wouldn't be able to confirm any of those points. Your world is still locked in the curse that is monochrome...
"Are you wanting to get started discussing the case for tomorrow?" Your wandering thoughts are interrupted by Matt who sets a tender hand on your shoulder, showing a noticeable look of concern despite it being mostly hidden behind his black glasses.
"Oh yes, sorry! The case, yeah, of course..." Fortunately, the lawyer merely chuckles at your disorderly state before stepping aside and gesturing to his office with his cane. Gratefully you enter, taking your usual seat in front of his desk where you fidget while he takes his time sitting opposite and retrieving his case notes.
A bouquet of simple roses, regardless of their color, truly doesn't hold a candle to how appreciative you are to the members of Nelson and Murdock. Thus far they've provided quality work for a price you can actually afford on your tight budget, making them forever your saviors. Matt himself has been particularly helpful, treating your case as if it's been some sort of order given to him directly from God. He never wastes a second leaping into business and goes the extra mile by repeating himself as often as necessary to ensure you understand everything properly which is always nice, after all, you could listen to his voice for hours.
Seeing that there's still plenty to tend to involving your case, you expect Matt to begin promptly discussing any updates and what to be prepared for in regards to the lawsuit, however his hand instead hesitates over his notes before he moves it to his mouth to hide his cough, "I take it you haven't found your soulmate yet?"
"...H-Huh?"
Many would deem that a wildly inappropriate question especially for a lawyer to ask his client. Soulmates are sacred and intimate, not often discussed with strangers or in professional settings, however you'd like to at least call Matt somewhat of a friend - he's definitely treated you with the kindness of one - therefore you don't show any offense towards his innocent curiosity. After all, why should he be blamed? Apparently, you're the one stupid enough to make it so obvious that a blind man can take notice.
Ah, soulmates; a pair designed only for each other, holding such a special bond that meeting for the first time quite literally changes their entire perspectives on life in an instant. How so? Because everyone's born seeing the world in monochrome, color only being granted them once looking directly into the eyes of their soulmate for the first time. This is why you can't make out the color of your roses or the sky above or even the supposedly bright 'yellow' taxi you take here each day; you've never met your other half...
This realization and the knowledge that Matt's been able to piece it together strikes an insecurity of yours which you attempt to cover by redirecting his question quickly, "Have you?"
He laughs, although you'd say it sounds a bit bitter if you didn't know any better, "Wouldn't know if I did, I'm afraid."
Your face burns with embarrassment once more, shame sinking into your stomach, "Oh God, right. I'm so sorry, Mr. Murdock. I wasn't thinking - of course, you're blind, but...I mean unless your soulmate's blind as well, I would think - I would just think that they'd say something when you meet, so wouldn't you know that way?"
"I suppose so..." Matt gives a thoughtful hum, but it's soon followed by a frown, "Unfortunately, people aren't always truthful."
"You think someone would lie about being your soulmate?"
He pauses, his frown only deepening after being tainted by a sour memory, "...Someone did..."
You frown, too, at this confession, but it only takes a split second for this sympathy towards Matt to turn into fury, "Why would someone lie about that?! That's so cruel! I mean, I guess I could see why someone would lie with you because they'd have the opportunity and you're, like, the jackpot, so of course it would be tempting to keep you and all, but soulmates are supposed to be special! You can't force that type of bond and lying about it would only end up hurting both parties in the end!"
"'The Jackpot', hmm?" Matt echoes smugly at the end of your rant.
You blink, reviewing your own words in search of the mistake. After locating it, your face burns so warm that you should be worried about overheating, however you're a little too busy being embarrassed for that to cross your mind.
"Well yeah...You...You're a nice guy - from what I've seen, anyways. You're well mannered and you work hard to do what's right even if it's not financially rewarding in the end which are traits any girl would - should, at least, swoon over. You're also, um...You're not bad looking in any way..." You mumble the last part pathetically, pulling on the fabric of your shirt as a nervous habit.
You swear he leans closer over the table, his voice low and husky on purpose as if he can hear how fast it makes your heartbeat; as if he understands it's a dangerous temptation for you, "So, you find me attractive?"
"Yes, well, I'd, uh...I'd say you are, but..." you glance up at him for a second, hating how flustered even your reflection looks in his tinted glasses," - But I've actually heard Foggy say the same thing, hasn't he? Yeah, in fact, when I first came in he made that joke about how you get all the ladies because of your looks so apparently it's common knowledge through Hell's Kitchen that Matt Murdock is one good looking lawyer."
Much to your relief, he finally leans back with a chuckle towards your words, "Is that so?"
You nod too quickly, folding your hands over your lap and sitting straighter as a poor attempt to get your body and nerves to calm down, "Yeah...A-Anyways, about the case...?""Right, right. The case," he nods, fixing his glasses before returning his hand to the paperwork in front of himself. Little do you know, he hears the way you exhale and fidget in your chair, remaining flustered from the previous conversation well into the next, which is a thought that keeps that devilish smirk tugging on his lips.
Tumblr media
It's gotten late - possibly the latest you've ever stayed at the firm. There's no longer a faint white glow of light peeking through the blinds, but there is a dim echo off the small desk lamp. While it protects the room from complete darkness, it's not enough to save you from having to squint at your paperwork to see it properly. Perhaps this wouldn’t be so difficult if you could just make out different color gradients…
Putting you to shame, Matt doesn't seem to be struggling at all. He effortlessly moves his hands over each textured line of his papers, reading faster than you ever could even in perfect lighting. You've stopped to watch him for a bit, noting the slightly darker strips of scars cutting across his knuckles and the vague change in shade against his palms - callouses, you'd guess.
If brave enough (which you unfortunately are), you'd sneak a glance at his face, hoping to make it secret and quick enough to temporarily satisfy that yearning in your heart. You stupidly convince yourself that this task will be easy considering a blind man can't possibly catch you staring, can he? 
You managed to do it exactly three times, losing count of the seconds in between each. The first two attempts were as promised: quick and like a shadow. You had looked up, eyes locking on his face while you tried to imagine the buzz against your fingertips which you assumed would be the effect provided if you set them run over his stubble. You had looked up again, focusing on the scent of his colloque. You can smell it from here and wonder if it smells stronger around his neck. 
You had looked up one last time, taking instant notice of the smirk Matt tries to lick away before ducking his head when that isn't successful. Absolutely mortified, you looked down at your lap with a stammering heart, promising never to sneak another glance at him again...It turns out a blind man can catch you staring…
Since then, you've remained like a statue, reading your files like a good girl because isn't that why you're here? Matt Murdock's your lawyer, not your eye candy! You should be treating him with respect, not gawking at him like a teenager does the boy band posters in her room!
Breaking this suffocating silence, Matt taps his own set off papers against the desk to file them into a neat stack, "Well, what do you think?"
"What do I think...?" You echo, crashing into the ground of reality so hard it knocks everything you've just read right out of your head.
"About the proposed settlement?" He leans forward a bit, his arms crossed over the desk and his eyebrow perked upwards. He's relaxed (as always), but carries a hint of concern in his voice that digs into your heart further than you'd care to let him in on. 
How pathetic is it that you swoon at even the slightest bit of care shown to you by a guy? Of course, you truthfully don't behave this way around just any guy, only Matt, however you'd feel better admitting you're starved of affection rather than say you’re entirely parched by the thought of the man in front of you.
"This is only an estimated amount that they've proposed. We'll go over official negotiations with the council, however I wouldn't recommend taking anything less than this offer," possibly sensing the way you play with your hands and chew on your lip, Matt adds softly, "As your lawyer and representative, I'll be there with you at every moment to ensure you aren't cheated in anyway. All you have to worry about yourself is listening along and signing the papers if you decide the agreed upon amount is fair. If you have any concerns, you can voice them directly to me and I'll deal with the council...I just want to make sure you understand that taking this settlement doesn't mean the company is admitting fault -"
"- They'll just be giving me money to keep my mouth shut."
"Pretty much," Matt nods with a frown, "You'll be signing a contract agreeing to never speak about the matter again - not the settlement itself or what happened. That means you won't be able to sue them at a later date nor does anyone within the company have to be held responsible for what happened either - unless the corporation decides to take corrective action itself."
You sigh, gazing over the paperwork while considering the offer. Going with the settlement, you'll leave with a pretty decent chunk of money (more than you make in a year's salary) which will be somewhat worth all the bullshit you had experienced at your former place of employment, however you're hesitant towards the idea of letting your asshole bosses get away with all the discrimination and favoritism they let poison your life for the last few years. Still...You really don't want to take this to an actual court where the outcome isn't guaranteed to be any better.
"...I understand," you sigh again, tangling a hand in your hair, "I just want to get this over with..."
"I'm sure you do. Nearly five years of being cheated out of raises and higher positions - anyone would be tired of it, but -" You nearly flinch when Matt's hand finds itself over yours on the desk, his thumb gently running over the skin. To top it off, he has that concerned expression again that makes him look so soft and loving…yet he’s only your lawyer, "- I don't want you to make a choice on that alone. If you truly want to go through with the lawsuit, I'll do whatever I can to make it less stressful for you -"
"- It's fine, Matt," you give your best smile, sandwiching his hand between both of yours, "I think the settlement is my best option. With it, I can start moving on with my life. That company took five years of my time, they're not getting a second more.”
He returns your smile. For some reason, he makes no attempt at moving his hand away. Instead, he lets you forget about it, not speaking a word of protest as you find yourself getting lost in the moment. 
How is it that you can feel more chemistry with someone in such a simple place - a broken down little law firm surrounded by paperwork - than you've felt on any date in your life? If you're this infatuated with a random guy like Matt, how are you possibly going to survive the heart tremors that your soulmate will give you?
"You guys are still working in here?" A part of you wants to celebrate Foggy's interruption as he peeks his head through the office door, but behind him you can see Karen slipping on her coat, letting you know that your time with Matt has officially come to end. 
"We've just finished actually," Matt admits, at last giving a tug to his hand that makes you instantly retract your hold over him in embarrassment, not that he seems fazed himself.
"Great, because it's whiskey Wednesday at Josie's. You know what that means?!" Foggy cheers, earning a chuckle from his friend who's already standing.
"That I'm gonna have to drag you home tonight?"
Shyly, you shuffle off to the side, wiggling on your own jacket while wondering how difficult it will be to get a taxi at such a late hour. You're prepared to wish everyone goodnight and be on your way, but then Foggy turns to you, "You're coming too, right (Y/n)?"
"Me?"
"Of course, the more the merrier!" He says.
"O-Oh, um..."
"It'll be fun," Karen insists.
You're still hesitant, not being one for bars not to mention you have so much on your plate this week. You should really get home and consider this settlement more - reread the proposal, recite your testimony in case you're quizzed about it later, mentally prepare yourself for the stress...
The final nail to your coffin is Matt - it's always Matt. Foggy and Karen are sweet and they make you feel welcomed, but Matt is the one with an inhuman ability to make you feel like a cloud simply by setting his hand on your shoulder and smiling so sweetly, "It might be a nice way to get your mind off of things."
How can you honestly say no to more time with him? Oh yeah, you can't…
Tumblr media
You've never been to Josie's before, although you aren't surprised by that fact considering it seems to be an easily missed hole-in-the-wall bar with room temperature beer and sticky seats. Despite this, the others seem to be having lots of fun, officially having gone numb to all the health code violations around you guys.
Foggy and Karen are currently on their third round of playing pool where the loser must take a shot. You had played the first round with them and lost. After that, you decided it’s far more amusing to sit back and watch the show than to partake in it.
"I'm assuming you guys come here often?" You ask distantly, letting your voice drift off with the sound of loud voices and clicking glasses that makes the bar feel much busier than it actually is, yet somehow Matt still hears you.
He brings his beer bottle to his lips, poorly hiding his smirk, "What gave that away?"
"Well to start, the owner rolled her eyes the second we walked through that door and neither of those two have crashed yet showing they've had practiced -"
"- They could've had 'practiced' at any bar."
"We're not in a courtroom, you know, so don't have to poke holes in my argument like that…" You tease lamely, shifting in your chair to face him fully instead of Foggy and Karen at the pool tables. 
You've always cursed yourself for not being professional around Matt, but tonight you’ve officially met a new awful low. This table is small - small enough that when you moved in your chair, your knees ended up brushing with his. On top of that, he has long removed his jacket, his white sleeves sinfully rolled up past his elbows showing just a hint of the impressive muscle to his biceps. It's insane how much one little jacket can hide. You wonder how much muscle he had built elsewhere. His shirt is definitely too tight, not leaving much for your imagination -
"- What are you thinking about?" 
Your breath hitches, your eyes darting from his chest to his eyes. There's the damn smirk again - the same that makes you doubt whether he's truly blind considering he has such a good record when it comes to calling out your stare.
"N-Nothing..."
"'Nothing' makes you that nervous?" He's honestly having fun with this, isn't he?
"I...I was thinking about the settlement," you excuse, propping your elbow on the table while hoping to distract yourself by drawing invisible designs against the surface.
Matt crosses his arms, leaning back. You swear he purposefully bumps your foot with his, "As I've said, there's nothing to worry about. Believe me, they wouldn't have even offered you a cent unless they were scared of the dirt you have on them. We have this thing in the bag."
"You seem confident," you comment quietly, earning a devilish smile from him.
"Would you rather me be nervous?"
"Maybe not with a case, but now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever seen you be nervous before. It seems like I'm always the one stumbling over my own words."
"I suppose it comes with the profession. It wouldn't send the best message to my clients if they see me fumbling around. Believe it or not, but I've got an important reputation to keep as a 'jackpot' lawyer," Matt jokes, drawing a laugh from you, although you still feel a prick of embarrassment over the callback.
"Are you ever going to let me live that down?" You groan, hanging your head low dramatically, however the smile remains on your face and Matt knows it. 
"Not for a while, no."
"Be careful, Murdock. Keep teasing me so much and I might leave a bad review," you quickly snatch your glass, downing a gulp of bitter alcohol which gives you enough confidence to add, "Don't wanna ruin your status as 'jackpot lawyer', do you?"
He laughs heartily and shakes his head. The action causes his glasses to slip on his nose slightly. Anyone else wouldn't be so bothered by this, however he is, finding the new position itchy against his skin. Without thinking too much of it, he decides to remove the problem completely, taking his glasses off and setting them in front of himself, "You know what? Why don't we just call it a truce? If Foggy hears, I'll be the one who never lives it down."
"Aw, you seemed like you liked the nickname, though? Why the change of heart, Murdock?" You tease, your giggles echoing through your glass before you finally set it down and look at him. It's amazing how much alcohol and a bit of laughter can make you feel this at ease, but it doesn't last long.
"...What's wrong?" Matt notices your silence rather quickly, although it was the skip in your heart beat that truly set off the alarm in his head. Your whole body goes tense and he can once again feel your eyes staring at him which he normally doesn't mind nor would he mind if not for your sudden change in overall behavior.
When he repeats the question again in a whisper, you merely hum, barely catching his concern even then. Instead, you become lost in the moment, forced to trust your rapidly beating heart to guide your muddled brain as you speak without much forethought, "...You're eyes - they're beautiful...They're the most beautiful color I've ever seen..."
It takes Matt a second to catch onto your exact words, pairing them with your body's reaction that shares your sudden amazement. Even so, he's reluctant to ask, fearing one of the possible answers to his own question, "Am I...Do you see color right now?"
"I do...I can see color," you confirm breathlessly, your surprise soon transforming into a giddy grin that almost reaches your ears. Leaning forward, you try to get a better look at the man before you through your new vision. Your hand moves as if prepared to reach towards him, however you keep it hovering in the air, "...I can finally see color..."
When you let your hand slowly drift back down to the table, it doesn't take long before Matt's brushes over it, remaining there as his face twists into a series of emotions. First, there's hesitance and fear, then a flash of sorrow before finally a gentle smile. 
Staring into his unfocused eyes, you almost lose yourself, forgetting that you're in fact sitting in the middle of a busy bar with your lawyer who is apparently that one special person you're meant to spend your life with...but it's then that you come to another realization that almost jolts you away from him, your words in a panic, "I-I promise I'm not lying either! I'd never lie about this to you, Matt! I really do see color, so I think you're my -"
You don't get to finish your drawn off sentence before his lips are pressing softly against yours, his hand moving yours to his cheek where it had desired to be to begin with. You had no sense of time to tell you how long you remain like that before he pulls away, forehead set against yours as his breath cools your lips, "...I'm your soulmate."
"You believe me?"
He chuckles, pecking your lips in a kiss that doesn't last nearly long enough. Matt has never admitted it to anyone, however a part of him has always feared the idea of ‘soulmates’. If they’re found through color, how would he ever find his perfect match without sight and would they even want him? 
Those insecurities only got worse after he was lied to. He knew it was a lie, too - of course he knew, he can sense the signs the human body gives off while fibbing - yet he played dumb and pretended to believe it. Why? Maybe he was too poisoned by young love, desperately wanting to believe the woman before him was his soulmate. Perhaps he was just scared he’d never find his real soulmate anyways, so why not take what he was being handed since beggars can’t be choosers? 
Then you came into the picture. Matt may not be able to confirm your connection through any form of color, but he can definitely say he felt something special from the second you first came into Nelson & Murdock searching for help. 
Some part of him realized it by the way your laughter lights a fire in his heart or how the thought of you sticks in his mind like glue throughout each day and night. Still…He was too afraid to act upon this feeling - too afraid to let himself live the chance that you could even possibly be his soulmate, although he can feel safe admitting it now: he’s been silently hoping this entire time that it would be you and it seems his instincts have been correct.
"You're my soulmate," Matt whispers, returning his lips to yours for a third time that mirrors the first: a long and loving kiss that makes you both echo out the rest of the world as you hold dearly onto the fact that neither of you will ever have to be alone again.

(Part 2 of everyone getting a Pokémon partner for the Holidays!)
Ana: A Rookiedee with a sky blue bow! This tiny birds Boi has a lot of promise and the sharpest eyes, it will be quite the adventure training him!
Sombra: For you, a Rotom with a set of appliances that it can posses! Rotom are just as talented with hacking as you are, Sombra!
Moira: A Ditto! This genetic blobs of purple slime are practically impossible to understand but fun to have around, just like you are, Moira! Merry Christmas!
Reaper: For you, A Greavard with a black bowtie! This spooky good boi can suck the vitality from anything it stand close to, he also loves playing fetch. Merry Christmas, Reaper!
Doomfist: Behold, Machop! These Pokémon train since they day they were born, they practically live for getting stronger! They’re also the perfect workout partners!
Ramattra: This is Magearna, she is an artificial Pokémon who was created by humans 500 years ago, the only one of her kind. She is a gentle, curious soul who wants nothing more than to be friends with everyone, Pokèmon, humans and maybe even Omnics. Happy Holidays Ramattra and believe me when I say that Magearna will help you see humans in a new light.
Sojourn: An Eevee with a maple leaf themed scarf! Dependable, adaptable, loyal, friendly and a fast learner. No matter which path you take, Eevee will always stay by your side and grow alongside you. Merry Christmas, Sojourn!
Kiriko: What better a Pokémon to be your partner than a Fox? More specifically, a six tailed, red furred fox like Vulpix! It maybe a fire type, but many mysteries surround Vulpix and it’s evolution Ninetails. It’s loyal, graceful and powerful! (P.S. Don’t touch it’s tails unless you want to be mega cursed.)
Lucio: A Lotad with a big love for music! This Pokémon and it’s evolutions love to dance and have fun, at all a party with the Lotad line is a great one! They love dancing so much that Ludicolo (Lotad’s final evolution) dances without music 24/7 and is overjoyed doing so! I couldn’t think of a better Pokémon that matches your energy, Lucio! Merry Christmas!
D.Va: Oricorio, more specifically, Cheer form Oricorio! With a pep in their step, an electric personality and a desire to cheer for their friends, Cheer form Oricorio is the perfect hypemon to have by your side in your hardest of times! But don’t mistake their support to be their only specialty, because Oricorio are masters of Dance, and that includes Dance Fighting! Merry Christmas, D.Va!
(Part 3 coming soon!)
Ana: Another one? Well, I'm sure I can just about squeeze one more in.
Sombra: hmm… I owe you one for this. Consider your dirty secrets safe, Hannah. For now.
Moira: Practically impossible to understand, you say? I'm sure I'll have it solved within the month, one way or another. Then again, perhaps it would be wise to keep them in working order for now. If only as their abilities seem… useful.
Reaper: Hmm… I don't have time for a dog. Then again, they work well with my asthetics. A grim reaper and his loyal hound… They can stay.
Doomfist: At last, someone who understands that which is important. I could do with sparing with someone who has more self respect than Mauga.
Mauga: Hey!
Ramattra: You believe that giving me a pile of gears who grovels at the feet of humans is wise? Truly believing that you can melt the cold CPU of this Omnic Grinch? I will take her, of course. If only to keep her away from the likes of all of you, and help her see the true colors of the world!
Sojourn: Hey! Ya hear that, Murphy? You've got a play mate! Maybe now, I can get some peace.
Kiriko: Well, I already have a flying type fox, so it's good to have type balance! Also, I was already sold, but the curses? That's a nice touch.
Lucio: Damn, I think you've found the only thing in the universe with a bigger love for dance than me! I dig it man! I wanna be just like them!
D.Va: Perfect! I've always wanted a channel mascott! The fans (and I) will love them! Oh, and I can even dress them in cute outfits, and they can come with me to conventions! I have so many ideas! Maybe we could cosplay as Bastion and Ganymede!

[a package arrives, it is sealed with a Koffing-Sticker.
Inside is... a jar of Honey! There are also a few printed photographs! they show: a very small dawn stone, about 3 inches across
a small pebble. It is very round, almost spherical and light grey in color. I thas a small dark line running right across the middle
a lightly grey, almost white-ish rock. It is sort of flat on one side and has three differently sized spikes on the other. It looks a little bit like a tiny mountainrange. The background is a typical forest floor... except it seems like the brightness is turned up
another rock. It's slightly darker in color and has a tint of brown to it. It's longer and more flat than the other rock and is pointy at one end. It also has a slight protrusion at the side
another pebble! It is very round but flat, except for a small indent on one side. It has two different colors. One part is almost white, the other is a light red-ish or pink color, split about 2/3 and 1/3 respectively. There is a also a black line that runs across the white part and exactly at the border to the pink, it splits into three more lines.
a... cranidos sitting on a forest floor. It is happily smiling at the camera, eyes closed, it is gnawing at a pebble. The top of its head is a light, but saturated red. The usually colorful marking on its back is completely white.
a maple leaf. There is nothing special about it except that it has a pretty light green color
a patch of moss on a birch tree. It looks... suspicious. there are two somewhat circular patches at the bottom that fuse into a sort of elongated... shaft.
there is also a letter! It reads:
Hello Hello ~ You wanted some cool photos from the white forest! So here you go. Also i thought you might enjoy this honey! It's from my parents farm, from the Monarch-Vespiquen in particular. I got it specifically for you (i visited my parents for this), because you might be interested in a little trivia! The Monarch-Vespiquen is a hybrid Pokémon! It's actually part Beedrill, which is why she is the Monarch after all. She decides which of the hives collect what kind of pollen and nectar and produce different kinds of honey. This specific jar is linden honey and was (partially) produced by the Monarch-Vespiquen herself! it's from last year though. This year she's doing fir honey, and not everyone likes that... - love, Tix]
(@koffing-time)
I almost fucking dropped the jar of honey because I was laughing my ass off at that penïs pebble XD
The cranidos is you new pokemon, right? It's ADORABLE it really has- wait did you say this is technically beedrill honey?

Eye and Pancake for Rietta, Bouquet and Maple Leaf for Rachel, Strawberry and Speak-No-Evil for Delclis, Milky Way and Mousetrap for Elystan, and then - if you have answers for some of the perhaps more minor characters (if not, please skip them!) - Rainbow for Tietra, Crown for Coleinette, Tornado for Bethira, Package for Estelle, and Birthday Cake for cousin Rietta, please?
Rietta
👁️ EYE - what colour are their eyes? do people notice their eyes? is there anything special about them (shows emotion easily, literally magical...)?
Rietta has dark brown eyes, nothing particularly out of the ordinary. They're a feature from her mother's side of the family, something that further visually marks her as half-Otionovian, along with her dark hair, olive complexion, and strong facial features. There are some family members on her father's side that are disappointed in her appearance and have made remarks to her about it.
🥞 PANCAKE - what is their comfort breakfast?
Bread with butter and blackberry jam, fruit, and hot chocolate. Faysmondian breakfasts tend not to be very elaborate.
Rachel
💐 BOUQUET - create a bouqet for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite?
Pink roses, lavender, foxgloves, lilac, pansies, and a bit of mint. These are all flowers that grow in her grandparents' garden and have pleasant personal assocations.
In the language of flowers, those mean, respectively, grace, mistrust, insincerity, first emotions of love, thoughts/think of me, and virtue. Most of which are fitting.
🍁 MAPLE LEAF - what is their favourite season? why?
Summer! She lives in a mostly cold climate, and it's the one time of the year that the weather isn't too bad to do anything outdoors.
Delclis
🍓 STRAWBERRY - do they eat their fruit & veg? what is their favourite fruit or vegetable?
He's willing to eat just about anything, so fruit and vegetables have never posed any problems. He's partial to apples and carrots in particular.
🙊 SPEAK-NO-EVIL - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about?
He is a scientist with Opinions. Get something incorrect about genetics in botany especially, and you will hear all about it from him. Respect the flora.
Elystan
🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?
Elystan, along with Rietta, Delclis, and an early form of Rachel, was created when I was fourteen and newly obsessed with Oz and Narnia and wanted to write a story in the same vein (mistake #1). I knew I wanted a princely character (Delclis), but then my ninth grade Kings of Israel class gave me an idea: my young prince about to succeed to the throne would have an entitled brat of a half brother with a claim to the crown (as Solomon did). So Elystan was created to be a Terrible Child and nothing more. He was magically deprived of his voice for a while and got it restored after an attitude adjustment (a much less impactful rip-off of Edmund's/Eustace's arc) and had a generic personality after that.
Not great characterization! Somewhere along the way I decided to justify my description of him as small and fragile-looking by giving him an illness, other literary influences took hold, and from there he gradually morphed into his (hopefully) more complex current form over the years.
🪤 MOUSE TRAP - what will always lure them into certain danger? a loved one in danger? a promise of something they are always searching for?
As we'll see if I ever finish Book 2, he's willing to risk a lot for the sake of his beloved father. He also makes poor choices when trying to save face or is chasing something he wants very badly.
Tietra
🌈 RAINBOW - what advice would they give to their younger self?
She would probably tell her younger self to stand up for herself more, which quite frankly is what her current self needs to be told too.
Coleinette
👑 CROWN - what does your oc want to be remembered as? why?
She probably would want to be remembered as somebody who was reliable, dutiful, and efficient. Someone who did not shame her family and who looked after herself and others well without burdening anyone.
Bethira
🌪️ TORNADO - what is the biggest change you've ever made to them? how have they changed from their original version?
Bethira existed in the original draft too, and she was just a stereotype of a doting mother, very much to blame for how Elystan turned out (but somehow not doing much to protect Delclis from his Obviously Evil stepfather who is trying to kill him?). Over time I've come to examine her more as an individual and develop her more into a tragic figure, not perfect but still sympathetic.
Estelle Doncath (Rachel's little sister)
📦 PACKAGE - what are some "most likely to..." that can apply to them?
Most Likely To Try To Solve Interpersonal Problems
Most Likely To Master Ice Skating
Most Likely (Among Her Siblings) To Instigate Adventure
Rietta "Rieton" Carothier (Rachel's cousin)
🎂 BIRTHDAY CAKE - when is their birthday? do they like celebrating it?
Rieton's birthday is December 14, and yes, she loves celebrating it! She's a lot more outgoing and comfortable with attention than Rachel, and she'll gladly accept the family making a fuss over her.

Thoughts On F1 Trophies
Because I fucking LOVE sports trophies, like, a lot. If a sport has pretty trophies, i'm showing up for it. Using the 2024 iteration of each of the race calendar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bahrain
Tumblr media
This one is really pretty to me, it's from a new money race, but looks so classical.
It's also fucking HUGE, it looks so heavy.
Like, I'd hate to lift this thing after hours of racing.
Love the aesthetic, though, definitely looks like you'd be so proud to win it.
Rating: 9/10 (one point off for weight lol).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jeddah
Tumblr media
Another beauty, probably the prettiest of the bunch, looks like it took so long to make.
Looks nice to the hand, too. Like it'd be nicer to hold.
Love the feathery detail at the top in gold, looks very elegant.
Might be in my top five for sure!
Rating: 10/10 - nothing wrong with this trophy at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Australia
Tumblr media
Sometimes, simple is best, y'know?
I wonder why no other race went with the steering wheel idea? It seems so obvious to me.
Looks like a cool trophy for photoshoots.
So iconic by now, and feels most alive, since it actually relates to the sport.
Rating: 9/10 (I'd add gold to the spokes of the steering wheel)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Japan (2023)
Tumblr media
Used the 2023 version, because this year's were boring.
I love a good easter egg, and making this trophy kissable and light up was so cool!
Nice and clean design, Japan always slays.
Wish the race was at night for better effect.
Rating: 10/10 - no changes, please bring this back for 2025!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
China
Tumblr media
Another gimmick trophy, for China this time!
Nice callback to the winner's laurels, respecting history is so awesome.
Red and gold are such a nice touch to bring up the location, something other races should do.
However, the effect fell flat because none of the drivers wore them on the podium! Guys, come on!
Rating: 8/10 - two marks off for the drivers not knowing what to do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miami
Tumblr media
A simple trophy for a very new race, so very little to work with sadly.
I do like the detailing on top to reference Hard Rock Arena which is where the track is located.
The silver is very pretty, and must look amazing under the sunlight!
A bit plain, but there's always room for growth with the concept.
Rating: 6/10 - young race, so they did a good job!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Imola
Tumblr media
Our first track outline trophy, but I'm not complaining.
Love the gold edging, and the ibex in the top portion.
I also notice that the track kind of looks like an ibex at this angle, so a nice little detail.
Simple, but no doubt nice to hold, doesn't look to heavy.
Rating: 8/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monaco
Tumblr media
Another track outline trophy, and my least favourite.
I think the oldest race could do with a more regal trophy. This one doesn't quite do it for me.
Looks kinda clunky to hold as well, but at least it looks light.
I dunno, this one just doesn't vibe with me.
Rating: 5/10 - Monaco deserves better!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Canada
Tumblr media
As a Canadian, I don't quite know what the brief was here.
It looks fine, I guess? But, there's nothing Canadian about it to me.
The old Maple Leaf trophies were so much better, I hope those come back for this year.
I don't know, it just looks... meh to me.
Rating: 4/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spain (2016)
Tumblr media
A silver chalice type trophy, simple, but sleek as well.
Kinda plain looking to me, no real Spanish vibes to it.
It's fine, and would look nice in the cabinet, nice and grand, but not too grand.
It reminds me a little bit of Hockey trophies.
Rating: 5/10 - bring this one back, please!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Austria (2022)
Tumblr media
Another track outline trophy, my personal favourite.
Made of Styrian sourced wood from the local forests, a nice touch to ground the race in its country.
Looks nice and easy to hold, and incredibly well made.
Also looks like it'd be a nice trophy to win first, to have a permanent memory of your first win.
Rating: 8/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Britain
Tumblr media
Kinda looks like the Wimbledon trophy!
Like Bahrain, this one is really pretty! Looks classical, and historic. Like you'd be touching history if you won it.
Doesn't look as heavy as Bahrain, so that's good.
Perfect overall, no changes needed!
Rating: 10/10!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hungary
Tumblr media
Couldn't find a good pic of this on its own, so here's Max holding it!
Porcelain is a good idea in theory, but, as we know, didn't quite work!
Beautifully crafted, the paint is masterful though.
Also looks really heavy to lift!
Rating: 5/10 - maybe do metal so Lando doesn't break it this year!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Belgium (2022)
Tumblr media
Also couldn't find a pic of this on its own, so another pic of Max!
Spa is a gorgeous track, and deserves to be immortalised with a trophy!
My second favourite of the track outline trophies. Makes a good set with the others.
Of the four classic tracks, this trophy is my second favourite.
Rating: 9/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Netherlands
Tumblr media
Now, THAT is a trophy! Wow!
This is how you do porcelain/ceramic for trophies, you need a nice wide base so it won't break.
Love the gold on white, and the lion.
Is this one the biggest of the bunch? It looks like it. Fitting for the world champion's home race!
Rating: 10/10 - beautiful, perfect, love it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monza
Tumblr media
Really artistic, good on Monza for going a bit higher than Imola did.
Nice way to bring back the piping within car engines.
Also look like a statue of a person if you unfocus your eyes.
looks very elegant and refined, very Italian.
Rating: 9/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Azerbaijan
Tumblr media
The only half decent picture of the current trophy, with the minister of defence himself lifting it!
I can't quite tell what it's trying to represent, but it looks like an homage to the Three Flames in Baku.
I'm not a huge fan of this trophy to be honest.
Sleek and simple, but doesn't scream 'Azerbaijan' to me.
Rating: 6/10 - Checo loves Baku, so bonus points.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Singapore
Tumblr media
Looks very avian, like an eagle closing its wings.
Kind of looks like the little brother to the Abu Dhabi trophy, which isn't really ideal.
Very shiny and pretty, though.
What is it with Street races having super simplistic trophies?
Rating: 5/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Austin
Tumblr media
Another image of Max lifting a trophy, couldn't find a pic of the trophy on its own.
Super corporate and bland, we're in Texas! Why not a cool horseshoe? Just, anything would've been better than this.
Max is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this rating, as with Checo for Baku.
Not horrible, but Japan nailed this concept so much better.
Rating: 4/10 - do better, Austin!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mexico
Tumblr media
A great deal nicer than Austin, more elegant and much more trophy-like.
I like the silver fly away parts, giving some movement to the trophies.
Sleek, elegant, and shiny - very nicely made.
Look a bit fragile, though? I'd hate to get it stuck in something.
Rating: 6/10.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brazil
Tumblr media
Again, I love some actual gold being used in trophies, first purely golden trophy since Britain.
Look much sturdier and more substantial than the Mexico trophies, which is great.
Don't look too heavy, and would be radiant in the sun.
I'd definitely be proud to lift this one, it'd take pride of place for sure.
Rating: 7/10 - bland, but gold says it all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Las Vegas
Tumblr media
Finally, a street race with an actually good trophy! Thank you, Vegas!
Looks like a plume of water from one of the city's many fountains, and catches the light to produce a rainbow, nice details!
Flashy but not gaudy, just like a trophy should be.
Easily the best of the three US trophies, Austin and Miami should take notes!
Rating: 10/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Qatar
Tumblr media
And, we're back to corporate and stale for the second last race of the season!
I know Qatar is a new race, but the Arab nations have so much iconography they could've pulled from.
A falcon would've been so nice, the Qatar Open Tennis tournament has a falcon trophy.
Looks like a PS5 console, not a trophy!
Rating: 3/10 - a late race should have an epic trophy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abu Dhabi
Tumblr media
Gold to end the long season, this one is simply beautiful!
Simple, but elegant, and looks light and easy to hold. Not too detailed, gold doesn't need detail to be beautiful.
Almost looks as if it's been made from one single piece of gold.
Super pretty, and a really appropriate trophy for the last race, a welcome finale trophy after the disappointing Qatar trophy.
Rating: 10/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
World Champion
Tumblr media
Saving the best for last of course, had to include this one, since it's still a racing trophy.
Probably one of the most beautiful F1 trophies, definitely worth the wait until the big ceremony to be given out.
I love the small details on the trophy, like the gold thread spiraling up the top and the checkered flags around the rim.
Really looks like a trophy twenty guys would want to scrap for over ten months.
Rating: 10/10.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This post will defo flop, but I just wanted to do a post like this, because most of these trophies are just really beautiful to me, and those that make them should be very proud of themselves.

✤ — Universe: Vigil | Kaedehara Siblings
✤ — Concept: Little Kazuha demands attention!!
✤ — Characters: Kazuha
A/N: I know I have requests omg but I just can't resist- seeing this short draft resting atop the pile lmao! I ADORE THESE SIBLINGS GGRRAHHHH- Warning, little Kazuha is sly.
Tumblr media
Kazuha is raised to be noble, polite, and respectful—and when cornered into a problem, he mustn't lose his composure at all costs.
The mind shall always prevail over the heart, much more so that he's to be a samurai. And he understands—he really does, but in the case of childhood pettiness, can you really blame a five-year-old for going against what he's told?
His mother is busy with her embroideries and his father is overseeing the training of the rest of the boys in the clan. Who else must he go to? Of course. Sister.
So to her whereabouts, little Kazuha wobbled to. But something is amiss...
"Flowers... ? Are these for me? These came from Liyue, right.. !?"
He hasn't seen his sister smile that big before...
The toddler blinks, lips puckering to a small pout as he goes closer, tiny hands tugging at the ends of his sibling's kimono to get her attention.
She's speaking to a boy her age, it seems. He does not understand why the boy's cheeks are pink compared to the, well, normal color, but he thinks it's bad.
"[Name]-nee," the carmine-eyed toddler tugs on the kimono again, but all he receives is a ruffle of his hair—and he huffs. "[Name]-nee..."
"Ahh, these are so lovely, thank you so much!"
Still nothing! Not even a glance his way, not anything! Hmph, it looks like there's only one way to get through this issue.
"I don't understand why you have to go through such lengths to give me these, though," you mutter, giddily caressing the petals of the glaze lilies. "To have these sent fresh from Liyue.."
The boy, someone you talked and befriended some time ago, beams with flushed cheeks. "That's cause-"
"Waaaah! Neeeee-saaaaaaan!!"
You both jump in surprise when the wail rings through the air, prompting you to turn and kneel immediately to your weeping brother who has buried his face into your kimono.
"Kazuha, what's the matter?"
The way his small figure trembles is scary. Have you done something wrong-!?
"I- I lost the maple leaf you embroidered for me,"
He didn't actually lose it.
He sniffles and you take a moment to pause- then giggle. Oh, you thought something had ruffled him so much for him to cry.
He isn't much of a crier in the first place, hence your panic.
"Is that so? That's not a problem then, I can always do another one for you." panic blooms in his face when you start to stand up and turn back to the boy, and he yelps, clinging onto your kimono.
"But that is special! That is nee-san's first gift!"
Struck with guilt, you can do nothing but pick him up in your arms, patting his back as he weeps into your shoulder. Smiling at the boy who has gifted the flowers, you hum.
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to go. I need to tend to my brother."
He looks disappointed but understands, reluctantly bidding you goodbye as you wave and head back inside the Estate.
The last thing the boy sees before you disappear to a turn of maple trees is the smug expression on Kazuha's face.
Tumblr media
bonus doodle + another bonus one (older kazuha ver.)
a/n: please im afraid all kazuha fics i'll write from here on out are platonic aus HELPPPPPP-
bonus: whenever kazuha remembers this stunt of his he gets embarrassed.

Vampire’s New Maid/Jimin x Reader
Tumblr media
Chapter 2: The Boss
Warnings: mentions of blood.
Chapter 1
…………………………………………………………
“Miss? Miss, you need to wake up.” the driver grunts waking me up from my somewhat restless sleep. “ Hmm? Yes, I am up now sir.” I said gradually blinking my eyes open. Through mid-stretch I realized I don't know the driver's name, so I asked, “Um Sir, if you don't mind me inquiring, what is your name?” The man looks back at me through the review mirror with a hesitant glare in his gaze and speaks, “Why do you want to know? No one ever cares to ask unless I did something to offend them.” I immediately speak while shaking both my head and hands back and forth, “ No. No nothing like that at all. I just want to know, so I don't have to call you Sir all the time. Even a last name to call you by is more comfortable to me.” The man nods his head in understanding and there is a subtle smile at the edge of his mouth. “ Ah okay then my name is David Godfried. Since I gave you mine may I call you by your last name miss?” I smile at him politely, “ Thank you for telling me, Mr. Godfried, and yes you may.” Mr. Godfried gives me a full toothy smile,” Well Miss. L/N you should get going in the house. Mr. Park is waiting for you in his meeting room. Then the main Butler will greet you at the door and take you there.” I give him a grateful smile and an affirmative nod. “ Okie Dokie, thank you for telling me. That and also for picking me up and dropping me off.” Mr.Godfried replies, “You’re welcome Miss.L/N.” Slowly scooting to get out of the limousine I open the door and a gust of powerful wind and rain came into the car. “ Goodbye Miss.L/N “ I look back at him, “ Goodbye Mr.Godfried I wish you well.”
Getting out of the car I pull my coat closer toward my body. Looking away from the limousine I rapidly looked at the house and did a double-take of the beautiful view of the manor in front of me. The house has three stories with 25 windows on each level. At the end of the manor, there are rounded towers but are the same height as the rest of the manor. The tower-like structure has the same amount of levels as the rest of the manor, but on each floor, there is nothing but windows. At the top level, there is a balcony to overlook the hundreds of acres. The other tower-like structure is exactly the equivalent on the opposite side. Under each window of the manor, lights are pointing up at it and eliminating each window that makes the manor look like a golden yellow.
At the entrance, there are double doors that look like mahogany wood with big knockers, and the knockers are gold. Before that is an entrance porch with two large stone pillars holding up the stone cover and to get up to the porch you have to step up three stone steps. Right in front of me, there is a gravel pathway that leads to the front door, and on each side of the gravel pathway, there are Japanese Maple trees. Underneath the trees is dark green luscious grass.
Walking up the gravel path I feel the rocks move under my weight. Taking a final deep breath I step under the porch-like stone structure and use one of the knockers, which feels so smooth it seems like it is polished regularly.
After waiting for a few minutes the head butler opens the door and asks, “You are Mr. Park's new maid correct?” “ Yes Sir, my name is Y/N L/N,” I spoke with gentleness. The man has grey almost white hair and a scowling face. He wore a black turtle neck and black dress pants with leather shoes that shine so much I swear you almost get blinded by them. Opening one of the doors wider he speaks with a rushed, but harsh voice, “Come on! Come on now! We don't have all day to prance around like deer in headlights now do we! I have a job to accomplish and you have a meeting to be in.” “Oh!” I say shocked about his rudeness and how he pulls me into the manor to slam the door shut behind me. As much as I wanted to say excuse me I held my tongue and looked down towards my feet.
Not saying anything the elderly man turns around on the balls of his feet and starts walking up the stairs. Since his back was turned I quickly looked around the astounding manor while trying to keep up with him.
Outside the manor is all stone and glass windows except the door, but inside is just like the door everything interior-wise was mahogany. The doorways, the floors, the walls, and the stairs are all wood. Seeing the walls there was a pattern of squares on them that were sunken in, and the ceiling was wood as well, but there are patterns of swirls and circles highlighting the perimeters of the ceiling. On the sides of the walls about five feet apart are light fixtures that are crystal and gold. In the middle of the ceiling, there is a chandelier that looks like an upside-down tree. The area that would be the trunk and branches are gold, and the leaf like crystals are the lights. You can tell everything is up kept because everything has a gloss or shine to it.
Going up the stairs I noticed that there is a dark royal blue fluffy carpet, and at end of the first stir case there is two hallways that splits to go either east or west of the manor. Before the staircase ends it splits into two rounded staircases that go up to the second floor. Noticing this we go up on the right side of the staircase. The second level looks like a bunch of rooms and all the doors are open to see that they are unoccupied.
Thinking this is where we were going to stop I found out that I was corrected because the head butler went up another staircase, but this is a single staircase like the one on the bottom floor. Going up the staircase I noticed it was getting more bright and it smelled different, unlike the other floors. It smelt like citrus and mint with a touch of fresh air. Being directed to the west side of the manor we went to the very end of the hall where the tower-like structure is.
At the end of the hall, two twin-like doors are closed with handles that are made of gold and crystal. The head butler stops and speaks with a harsh tone, “Here is the meeting room where you will meet Mr.Park. After the meeting, he will show you to the room that you'll be staying in. Next, he will bring you to the head maid’s office so you can start working right away.” I wanted to reply as a thank you, but he simply turned and quickly walked away with his head held high.
Sighing I swiveled back around and knocked on the door because I didn't know if I was supposed to just walk in. Not hearing anything I peek my head in the room calling out, “Hello, Mr.Park?” Again nobody answered, so I walked in to look around and wait for him.
The place is full of windows and I can see a gorgeous view of the Japanese Maple trees and the infinite acres of green grass. Wanting a better look I went in-between his coffee table; made out of glass and gold, and one of his dark royal blue leather sofas. Then I had to go around his big desk made out of oak wood to get to the French glass doors leading to the balcony. Opening them I stepped out into the cold fresh air just to notice it stopped raining. Slowly walking further out onto the balcony just to lean on the stone railing to enjoy the view. Closing my eyes and breathing in the air I enjoyed my surroundings.
Suddenly I hear a sweet voice speak in a warning tone, “ Who are you, and why are you in my office?” Jumping out of my skin I hastily turn around to see a gorgeous man with threatening glazed brown eyes. His eyebrows lifted in question. I force down the clog in my throat and speak with what I hope is a respectful voice,” Mr.Park I am your new maid and blood donor Y/N L/N. I was showed here and was told to meet you here. I'm sorry if I offended you or broke any rules, Sir, please forgive me.” I look down at my feet and bowed in respect. He doesn't reply but walks closer towards me. He hums then speaks softly,” I am sorry if I scared you. I honestly forgot that you were coming today. Nice to meet you Miss.L/N, but next time don't come out on this balcony. I usually don't let anyone on here. It's more of a sacred space for me.” Gazing back up I see him smiling softly, so I nod my head and answer him truthfully. “ I see why it's absolutely lovely up here and soothing if I might say. I won't do it again though I am remorseful to invade your private space. It was unthoughtful of me. It's just when I came into your office Sir I was enamored by the beauty of it and wanted to come out to get a better look.” Looking around one more time I move past him to enter the meeting room. Turning to follow me he closes the French doors and spoke, “It’s okay, you didn't know Miss.L/N, and I know. That is the reason why I go out there”
Taking a breath and putting his hands together he speaks again as he moves to sit on one of the leather couches. “Now Miss.L/N I would like to ask you a few questions and after this meeting, I will show you to your room where you will be staying at. Okay?” Sitting down on the other leather couch that is opposite of Mr.Park I answer him. “ Okay, no problem ask away.”
Now taking in his attire he is wearing a silk looking suit jacket with a pattern of swirls that are blue and black. He is also wearing a silk white button-up and plain black silk fitted dress pants with leather black shoes.
“Why do you want to become a maid?” Mr.Park asks softly which comforts me. “I want to become a maid because of the good memories my mother has had as a maid. As much as my father was a farmer he did landscaping for the same boss and that's how they met. I wish to both be a maid and a landscaper for you Mr.Park because I want to carry on the legacy of my parents.” Throughout my speech, Mr.Park’s eyes became soft and gave me a small smile. “ I see...” he nods his head then speaks again, “I would like to see your landscaping ideas for the backyard, and as for being a maid what do you prefer to do?.”
After he said that I look up at him in excitement,” Oh really?! Thank you for such an opportunity, Sir. I am grateful and... Um, as for a maid I like to organize and help serve others when in need. I like to set up tables, do the dishes, and clean bedrooms.” When I was done speaking I stared at my lap to speak again, “I don't really like cleaning toilets, but I am okay with cleaning showers and countertops. I do like to do laundry and folding clothing it is very calming to me if I am stressed, angry at myself, or someone.” Not looking up until I felt him sit next to me on the couch. Looking up at him I noticed that he was searching for my eyes and I blushed. He chuckled softly at me, “Miss, you said everything except for cleaning a toilet and cooking. Is there anything you truly want to do as a maid?” I hesitantly speak my mind, “Well you see Mr.Park, my mother took care of her boss. She cleaned and pressed his suits. She brought his breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She also organized his schedule and paper/documents. I honestly desire that I could do the same things she did, but I am not qualified, and her boss only allowed her because he was married and so was she. That is why I didn't ask you if I can do such a thing for as you know I am an unmarried woman, so therefore you must think it is inappropriate of me for suggesting such a thing.”
When his eyebrows raised and his mouth opened to an o shape I looked away in shame. “Wow um that is something, but it would benefit me in many ways, plus you did say that you will allow me to drink your blood, so you being around when I am in need will help. Although, it is inappropriate for I am also unmarried,” he sighs and looks away from me, so I speak with haste because I was afraid of offending him. “Sir, I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything, please forgive me. I do not mean to offend you or put you in an uncomfortable position. You can assign me any position/job and I will be happy I promise you.” He looks back at me in shock, “ Not many humans are happy to be maids. Why is it so different for you? Plus, you didn't offend me, Miss.L/N I was just taken aback by what you said was all.” He puts his hand on my hand to squeeze it and lets go quickly after.
“ I am different Sir because I promised my mother to love my life and that is what I plan to do no matter what the situation is,” I spoke with confidence while looking directly into his brown eyes. Again, he looks at me with a shocked expression, and I couldn't hold my laugh in and because of my laugh he started grinning at me. “ You know what? I will allow you to do the same thing your mom did for her boss.” This time I am the one looking at him in surprise, but then I get super excited and hugged him out of instinct. “ Oh! Thank you, Mr.Park thank you!” He gently hugs me back, but then he asks me another question.
“Miss L/N? Why do you want to be a blood donor?” Pulling away from him and looking down with a small frown on my face I tell him,” It's because I need the money to pay off a medical bill.” “ What? Medical bill? What do you mean? Are you sick?” He asks in concern, but I instantly shake my head no. “No, I am fine, but my little brother is not, he is living with a lung disorder that without a machine helping him to breathe right now he would be dead. Some treatments can help him, but I can't afford it and I understood that being just a maid won't be enough, so I was willing to be a blood donor. I know it's not the answer you might not want to hear, but please understand.” I look desperately into his eyes, but he closes his eyes tightly and sighs, “But are you truly willing to give me your blood?” Gazing back at me seriously, so I turn to speak in embarrassment, “Yes, I am also curious. I have always heard about how it feels, but I truly want to try it. If I give you a percentage out of one hundred. I would give you ninety-two percent of my willingness I am to give you my blood Mr.Park.
He nods his head from learning insight before he speaks, “How about this, tonight I need to feed anyway, so I will come to you for blood. After I have drunk from you the next day I want you to tell me an honest percentage of how much you are willing to let me have your blood. Okay?” I give him a grateful smile and spoke respectfully, “Okay, and thank you for your gracious offer, Mr.Park.” “You’re welcome, but since your going to be at my beck and call. I want you to do two things for me. One is to call me by my first name Jimin, and two, you have to sleep close to my room, so you will not be with the other maids. Can you do that for me Y/N?” I nod my head enthusiastically. “Good, well come on let me show you your room.” He chuckles while standing up.

Hello :) Here is the second chapter hopefully it is better than the first, and hope you enjoy it.

Okayyyyyy....this is more like a question dkddjdj So i have matching bracelets with my sister. Do u think we would have something matching with our dear brother Kazuha, like rings or something?
mmh, i think you would!
i think it'd probably be bracelets honestly. probably charm bracelets, but not with too many charms that jingle .. for both of you, there's a charm in the shape of a maple leaf, but you also have a katana and a little fish that represent kazuha, and on the flip side, kazuha has [insert your weapon] and [insert smth you feel represents you here] on his!
it could also be a necklace? but kazuha values simplicity, so it's nothing flashy.. either way, i think no matter what it is that you two have, it'd be "matching" in the sense that you have something that represents him, and he has something that represents you.
i know for a fact that you two have obvious tassles on your respective weapons. it's mostly an identifier. god forbid something happens to either one of you and all that can be found is your weapon, you know whose it is.
but smth cute i think is that whenever kazuha misses you if you're away (and vice versa), he can be seen holding the charm close to his heart or pressing it to his lips ! it's his way of wishing you luck or honestly, just his way of expressing how he misses you. don't leave your brother behind please EVER.
