All Cats Are Grey (dp x dc)
Thomas Blake has been having a day, well no, he’s been having a life actually, but he’s been good at not letting the self-loathing win these days and he’s not giving up on that progress today.
Still.
It’s the anniversary of his pride’s murder and Lawton’s face is hard to look at.
Venice is a nice place to get lost in though, and he is desperately in need of some alone time lest he starts thinking too hard and ends up stabbing Lawton.
He walks up a bridge and leans against the railing, staring down into the water below, where the moon’s reflection shines.
"You got a lot on your mind?" a voice sounds from somewhere behind him.
He swivels but is met with nothing more than the canal.
"Up here," the voice sounds again and as Blake looks up, he finds himself looking at a white-haired flying little girl.
He blinks for a moment but the girl is still there.
"Yes?" The girl asks innocently. He narrows his eyes at the too-wide green eyes.
Ok, if she wants to play it like that.
Blake consciously relaxes himself before shrugging. "Just memories."
"Oh yeah," the girl nods sagely. "Those are wild. Only been having them for a year, but boy are they a trip."
The man doesn’t offer any reaction behind a sympathetic hum to the weird info drop. If he’s playing the game and he’s damn well sure going to win it. "What about you, what’s kept you awake?"
The girl pulls a face. "Couldn’t find a bed I liked."
"Too hard or too soft, goldilocks?" His lips are pulling into a smile despite himself.
"Too haunted," the girl answers, deadpan. "This city is crowded, my dude."
Blake raises an eyebrow. "Is that so?"
The girl nods. "There’s gotta be something in the water, I’m telling you."
He looks down into the dark waters, as he remembers every warning he’s been given about taking a dip in the canals, and he’s tempted to agree.
"You got money?" The girl asks non-sequitur.
"Some," he says, wanting to see where this is going.
"I know a gelato place not too far that should still be open," the girl says. "I’ll show you if you get me a nocciola cone."
Blake looks up into the kid’s glowing eyes and smiles.
"Deal."

I don't have an official ref sheets for him, but here's Jack! Viva and Poppy's little brother
He was a surprise egg when Valencio and the other trolls were separated. He grew up on storing his papa told him about his other dad and his sisters. He started to draw them at some point sjsnsjsj
BUT! He wasn't raised by Valencio alone, he was also raised by his Papa's friend, Ambrose.
There's a lot more about him I wanna explore, more of it being the fact he's the "big brother" of the trollings that hatched in their small "village"
Also, small reunited pic I wanna redo some other time

So having established that Shen "I can fix him" Qiao caught feelings first (not that he realizes lmao), but... this does still beg a question for me: when DID Yan Wushi fall, too? Because this guy flirts and teases and is so unserious, sure. But... when does it... kinda sorta start becoming real?
Now, I AM a believer that the Sang Jingxing deal was as much a sort of reactionary overcorrection as it was a logical escalation- like it makes sense to me as an escalation, but as YWS himself says, he wouldn't have taken the step if SQ hadn't declared him a "friend." And I do think YWS showed signs of softening before it, too- like, digging that grave for the unnamed boy? Without even an overexaggerated tease at SQ about it? YWS at the beginning of the story would Not have done that quietly and dare I say solemnly, he would have like... made some comment or tease, I think.
I think whatever moment comes for YWS though happens late, cuz iirc he was gonna leave SQ et al behind? But Xie Ling was the one who went back...
wait. wait a minute. is THAT YWS's catalyst? Is he like when you have a cat that scorns affection but then you get another cat that LOVES it and then the first cat gets jealous of the attention (that it previously did not want) and so demands it also. lmfao oh my god. Will need to keep an eye out for this as I get to those parts again.

It has taken 8 years and more for you and I to now sit as we do ... your past is unknown, your future as uncertain as any other, but here in this present moment you are loved. I remember the day you first let me touch you, covered as you unfortunately were in slurry, caught in the fields as the farmers spread their liquid gold ... three days spent cleaning you and freeing you from your encrusted prison. I have never held you, the back of your head and your cheeks are all that you offer me ... wary and watchful and gone in an instant, formidable huntress hence the bell around your neck, Lady Clemence One Spot you are forever welcome. Now ........ tell me the secret behind your oh so marvellous eyebrow hairs ...

possessive eclispe hcs pretty please? 🥺
🎈Glitchclipse + Possessive HCs:🎈
⭐Markings. You can never escape an encounter with him without some little scratch or bruise--or even the occasional bite mark, if he's feeling particularly spicy. The boy just plays rough! And he does it to remind the "others" (ie: Sun and Moon) that no matter how much they gripe or whine, he's not going anywhere.
⭐Sun likes to idle. Moon likes to hover. Eclipse likes to loom. Doesn't matter who you're talking to or for how long, Eclipse will spend the whole time just standing behind you. Looming. Smiling. Staring dead-eyed into the soul of your conversational companion. No words spoken. No words needed. (Leave. This One's Mine.)
⭐He follows you around like a lost puppy. You walk into another room and he'll just stand there at the door waiting for you to come back out. If you take too long he'll start to knock. If you don't reply, he'll start to jiggle the door handle. His reaction to being locked out is just:
