Thinking about ClottedOkchun again and it made me think about Clotted Cream's interactions/first impressions with the rest of the Yakgwa Village gang:
Vagabond says in some dialog that his family was captured when he was young; it's never said who did it but it's assumed it was cookies with more power than his old village, and he would be wary of Clotted at first but warm ups quicker than Rebel does once he realizes Clotted has no ill intent.
Rebel has been stablished to hate rich people and straight up steals from them to give it to cookies in need, so already started on the wrong foot with Clotted and will take much longer for Rebel to accept him as Okchun's friend/partner.
Gim has no real reason to hate him, but sort of just spies on him intently at first because he's an outsider (after the whole Cookiestomper thing he wants to be more attentive of weird behavior) but once he's sure Clotted is fine them Gim becomes more chill.
Hope everyone had a good pride month!! If not, I hope you next year will be better for you!! Keep being great!!
Decided to end off the month with some ships of mine!! Hope you enjoy!!
Please be kind, I don't understand some parts of the different spectrums of certain things work plus others, but I try to keep an open mind. I only understand the basics.
I finally did it. I finally organized my 5Ds playlist. If you saw the original post eons ago, some songs have been abandoned for this one, but, uh, I also added, like, 30 more. So. There's that.
Full track list, all 109 119(currently) organized (roughly) by character under the cut. The first song of each section is linked for (slightly) easier navigation.

Remember, the relationship definers afterwards come from the submissions! Also odds are if it was submitted as romantic, it will depend though, I will also add an or platonic seeing as there are always multiple interpretations of a duo! If there was no specification or vibe that seems to align with any it will say any! And If it says Familial and I see anyone shipping those contestants, it will be a block.

"He told us that all the country would be up, for the great jubilee was to come, and we must go with 'em." These were the words of a woebegone Kentish woman whose husband was imprisoned in Canterbury for his part in the disastrous Battle of Bossenden Wood in May 1838. At the time the agricultural workers of Kent were called "white slaves." Diptheria was rampant among them; they lived in dwellings called "birdcages" — bedrooms measured 8' x 5' x 6'. Eight years earlier in the "Swing Riots" they attempted to prevent the introduction of steam-powered threshing machines. Mutinous discontent smouldered fiercely to awaken briefly in the 1838 jubilee.
Thirty or forty poor people of Kent — vagabonds, small-holders, farm laborers — led by the extraordinary Sir William Courtenay faced soldiers of the Royal Army amid the osier-beds of Bossenden Wood in a battle resulting in several casualties and utter, lamentable defeat for the Kentish rebels. The episode is treated as an example of pathetic derangement. It is true that Sir William Courtenay had been committed to a lunatic asylum and that he was an impostor (he was born John Nichols the son of a Cornish inn-keeper). He was more than six foot. He had long black hair. He was immensely strong. In 1821 he visited London and secretly joined a Spencean Society.
In 1832 he disappeared from his wife and business, and reappeared on the other side of the country in outlandish dress posing as Sir William Courtenay, Knight of Malta, King of the Gypsies, King of Jerusalem. He became a darling of the Canterbury mob, he allied himself with the smuggling community of north Kent, he stood for Parliament, and edited a newspaper. He asserted the rights of the poor against the New Poor Law, against tithes, against flogging, against the Rich. Despite his crazed grandeur, flamboyant pretensions, and mental breaks, he appealed deeply to the Kentish peasantry who were willing to risk and lose their lives for this jubilee.
The Kentish rural proletariat though close to London was in many ways exceptional — it was godless and lawless in the sense that the Established Church had made few inroads and that its customary agrarian relations largely descended from the forest economy of ancient times rather than the "Improving" enclosed agriculture. Moreoever, it was pious in strictly non-conformist meanings. Indeed, there was little singing at the parish church following the battle because most of the Hunhill Church choir was either dead or in jail. Spencean ideas "led to his hopeless attempt to overthrow the established order in Kent." The defeat in battle of this jubilee was the last time that the English Army was used in combat against the English proletariat on English soil."

What inspired your current book (published or WIP)?
In April 2017, League teased "The Harpy and the Phoenix." A lot of people at the time theorized it as a new Quinn skin, haha, but it ended up being dual released champions.
Lovers.
I was instantly curious as to why they only had one wing, so I started jotting down ideas for a story. I only wrote a very short clip at the time, but I revisited the concept in January 2019. Initially, Roshan was a lackadaisical guard and both he and Mika lost a wing. Opposite wings. But as I wrote and edited, it was no longer necessary for him to lose a wing, so I decided against that. Roshan was also supposed to be corrupted by the end of book one (when it was a duology), but then Riot released (corrupted) Star Guardian Xayah and Rakan in September 2019, so I axed that path too. As much as SOUL-BOUND started from X/R (primarily this particular teaser), it's not a fan fiction.
Mika's not a rebel. She's a sheltered princess like Rapunzel from Tangled. She's brash. Tsundere (thanks to watching Toradora during revisions). She's on a quest to heal her corrupted world and just so happens to meet a very charismatic vagabond. Roshan is largely based off my husband in a lot of ways. He's the golden retriever in our black cat/golden retriever relationship, so I made Roshan the sunny one.
I gave them a sun and moon dynamic to help name them. Their meet cute happens in a tavern because of Taylor Swift’s song "Gorgeous" since Roshan has ocean blue eyes and Zayn was originally Mika's betrothed.
Anyway, they've been my passion project for 5 (technically 7?) years and finally published them! I hope it reaches others and finds its audience. I hope if you're a Xayah and Rakan admirer and give their book a chance, you like them too.
