#sorry blorbos back to work ya go

[xenomorphicdna]

19 from the ask game for any of your sillies!!!

And they never find out how she did it

Altho they do enjoy a few days of chill time before they start to figure that something up

I don't think the aftermath would be particularly nice tho. Four Blue Flames is really determined on solving the problem, it's his parents' parting wish, he wants to solve it for them. And then Sliver Of Straw rolls around with her broadcast and everyone's mission in life is finally fulfilled. Cycles go on and instructions never arrive, eventually word gets around that Sliver is dead. And Flames feels a lil betrayed, years of work and the one person holding the single most important piece of information is dead along with it. It's one of the few times blorbo actually gets a lil angry.

So, Flames doesn't really like her much. Veil Of Dreams doesn't care nearly as much, but he's still interested in what's going on.

"Okay, so." Danny began slowly, very, very slowly. Testing the rope that bound his arms behind his back. "This is new... Ish."

"Sorry, sorry." The kid Danny had, unfortunately (but also fortunately), saved from multiple kidnappings from cultists. Said, hands raised in his direction but also not going any further and instead fidgeting in place. "Are they too tight? Do you want me to loosen them?"

"No, no. They're fine." Danny shrugged, silently hoping the Infinite Realms isn't going to smite the unfortunate boy across from him for, you know, kidnapping Danny and all that. "I would say this is one of the more comfortable kidnappings, to be honest."

"Oh, okay. That's good." The kid nodded slowly, though a bit hesitant before deciding not to follow that line of conversation. "Alright, so, my name's Billy." Billy introduced him, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand as he gave an awkward smile. "Y'know, the guy you saved from multiple kidnappings and, uh, kidnapped you too."

"Cool, cool." Danny hummed lightly, leaning back against the wall. "Name's Danny, nice to meet you Billy."

"I thought your name was Phantom?" Billy asked, understandably confused.

"It is." Danny confirmed.

"But your name is also, Danny?" Billy tilted his head a bit.

"Yes." Danny said, unhelpfully.

"Is Danny your secret identity?" Billy asked.

"Nope."

"Is Phantom your secret identity?"

"Yes but no."

A beat.

"That makes no sense." Billy said flatly.

"What can I say," Danny shrugged. "Not a lot of things in my life make sense."

"Right, yea." Billy nodded politely, drumming his fingers against his leg. "Interdimensional prince and stuff."

"Yea."

A moment of silence.

"So-" Billy began.

"No, the Ghost King isn't going to hunt you down. No, every other ghost in existence isn't going to hunt you down either and, no. This isn't going to start a war."

Billy blinked.

"Not what I was going to ask, but okay. That's nice to know." He nodded, a certain amount of relief unknotting unknown pressure in his chest he only knew till now.

"Oh." Danny blinked, then tilted his head. "Soooo, what did you want to ask then?"

"Do you want to be my boyfriend-"

"Yes."

===

"Let's fucking GOOOOOO!" Zeus roared, throwing his fists into the air. "Haha! Take that Solomon! I told you it would work!"

Solomon pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed in exasperation, reaching into his robe and pulling out 5 gold coins.

"Thank-a you!" Mercury swiped the money right out of his hands then hid them... Somewhere, on his body. Then gave Solomon a wink. "Pleasure doing business with ya!"

===

"Oh, it finally happened." Clockwork remarked calmly, barely pausing as he continued to run the comb through hair.

"The Realms seem out of sorts." Pariah Dark said slowly, twisting his head to try to look back at Clockwork only to turn it right back from the gentle whack of Clockwork's staff. "Should I be concerned?"

"No," Clockwork said casually, running the comb through his king's hair. Honestly, it amazed him that Eons of Eternal Slumber, yet his hair wasn't a rat's nest. "Let it sort itself out, it shall be done in the next century, or the next two millennium, either or."

"You're unsure?" Pariah tilted his head forwards the slightest amount, doing so very carefully as to not disturb the Master of Time's work.

"A rough estimate, though I can give a more accurate statement," Clockwork hummed lightly as he combed through the few knots left. "It is unimportant."

"Ah," Pariah Dark, both trusting and not knowing enough about said subject seeing as he does not have dominion over time, nodded slightly. "I see."

===

The Infinite Realms was very, very happy to see one of its blorbos gain a lover.

It knew interrupting various kidnappings and marking the boy as a good Realms token so they could meet would work out eventually!

want :: endo yamato

Author’s Note: I don’t know I’m just in love with this scummy gross man and I won’t accept criticism at this point. Toxic blorbos for Lee all day.

Content Warning: endo yamato x afab!reader, explicit sexual content, fingering, choking, hair pulling, tight riding, exhibitionism, dubcon, dirty talk, begging, fem pet names (sweet girl, baby, etc), slight degradation if you squint, small amount of swearing, endo is a content warning himself…

A soft moan escaped your throat as you felt his fingers up your skirt and into your panties. Your hips rocked against the touch, trying to find a little relief. He leaned in as his lips brushed against your own.

“Ya-Yamato…” she panted as the ministrations of his fingers increased. “Please…”

Endo’s intense gaze narrowed, watching your expression change. “Please what?”

“More,” you whined. “Touch me more…”

Endo let out a low groan of pleasure before finally capturing your lips with such hunger that you were sure you would pass out. His pace quickened again, causing your knees to wobble.

“Yamato…” you mewled.

He pulled back as a smirk curled over his lips. “Sweet girl…”

Suddenly, a familiar tune rang through the air, a ringtone. It was a guy from work that had expressed interest in you and you were both in a “talking” phase.

“Answer it.”

Confusion filled your eyes. “What?”

“Answer the phone.”

“Yamato, I—“

A strangled gasp left your lips as he slipped a finger inside of you.

“Do it. Or I’ll leave you here like this.”

A pathetic whine escaped your throat as you pulled out your phone and finally answered. A mischievous look flashed in his blue eyes before attacking your neck with his mouth.

“H-hello?”

Your coworker began talking about his day and inquiring about your day off and if you had planned this coming weekend. You tried to keep your mind focused on what he was saying but as Endo added a second finger, it was becoming obvious that wasn’t going to happen.

His teeth grazed the soft flesh of your neck as you bit down hard on your lower lip to stop the moan that was begging for release.

“O-oh a movie would be fun,” you stammered.

Endo chuckled against your skin as he added a third finger inside of you.

A gasp left your lips.

“Are you okay?”

“Y-yeah sorry there was a spider,” you recovered.

Endo’s teeth grazed your throat again as you felt the fingers inside of you moving faster. He used the palm of his hand to brush against your clit, making your legs clench together.

“That’s it,” he cooed into your ear.

“Hey I’m sorry,” you managed to say. “I have to go…”

Your coworker said he understood before hanging up.

“You asshole,” you hissed before Endo’s eyes darkened. “I hate you for that.���

“Yeah? Is that why you’re fucking clenching, you dirty girl?”

He removed his fingers from your cunt before slipping them into your mouth, causing you to gag slightly. Your tongue circled his digits, lapping up your juices. He removed his fingers with a pop.

With a half-lidded gaze, you whined, forgetting about the phone call. Your body craved more.

Tutting, he tilted his head at you. “Aw…” his tone was condescending, “look at this pretty baby all for me.”

“Yamato.”

You were desperate now, pressing your body against him for any sort of friction - any relief. Rising to your tiptoes, you pressed a kiss to his lips, whimpering again.

His hand came up to grip your throat, squeezing gently as his thumb swept over the delicate flesh. No words were spoken as he quickly flipped you around to face the wall with his free hand. The hand wrapped around your throat tightened as his other hand slipped down your waist and to your skirt, hiking it up before tugging down your underwear.

Endo leaned in, his breath tickling your ear. “Is this what you wanted?” His hand disappeared from your throat.

Whimpering, you offered a small nod. “Please.”

The metal of his belt hit the floor before you heard his pants fall to the ground.

“Sweet girl.”

“Yamato… please.”

A tattooed hand moved through your hair, gripping it tightly, earning a yelp from you.

“Tsk tsk,” he teased. “We’re only getting started…”

one piece men hcs: period sex

featuring the blorbos of my choice- law, bartolomeo, bellamy, corazon, and doflamingo

warnings: blood (obviously), narsty boys (looking directly at barto), smut, period eating

nsfw under the cut, minors dni 🫵👁️👁️💢

Law:

• im sorry babe, he may be a doctor and he may not be squeamish about touching peoples organs and blood, but he will not go down on you on your period 😔 (coward).

• hes kinda weird about period sex, he'll do it if you ask him super sweetly and look at him with those big pathetic puppy eyes, and he'll sigh dramatically and agree to it, but he really doesnt like doing it on the bed, he prefers the bathroom where its easiest to clean.

• usually he's kind enough to finger fuck you when you ask for it, but hes quick to pull his hand out of your pants and run to the sink to wash his hands off before shooing you to bed with a peck on the forehead. hes a busy man, hes got work to do.

• when he does have time, though, he'll make sure to take proper care of you afterwards.

• he'll offer to bring you water, a snack, pain meds, a towel, a hot pack, hell he'll even carry you to the shower if your legs are too shaky to stand on and clean you off with a gentleness so rarely seen from a man like him.

Bartolomeo:

• NASTY BOY ALERT 🚨🚨🚨

• you dont even need to ask, he'll be able to smell a hint of blood from across the room and hunt you down like a shark.

• begs you to let him eat you out while on his knees, massaging and pawing at your thighs.

• "c'mon sweetheart, i just wanna help ya~"

�� VERY enthusiastic eater, if he could stick his tongue up any further into you he would.

• likes when you sit on his face so he can feel the blood and cum dribble down the sides of his face.

• as he's fingering you, he'll suddenly pull his bloody hand up to his lips and suck the liquid off each digit before shoving them back inside you to do it again with a big cocky grin.

• hes fucking ravenous.

• fucks you like an animal and likes watching you coat his cock in red multiple times.

• truthfully, there might not be much blood left to leak out of you by the time hes done with you.

• dont worry, he'll make sure theres plenty of cum to leak out instead.

• hes super super sweet afterwards.

• "im so sorry, i didnt think i'd get so carried away there," he'll scratch the back of his head sheepishly.

• acts like a mother hen while he cleans you up so youre all nice and pretty again- hes usually pretty good about cleaning up after himself when it involves you.

• gets sad and confused when you vehemently refuse to give him a big wet kiss afterwards.

Bellamy:

• another nasty boy, but its more of a theatrical thing.

• hes fine with licking other peoples blood off his face, this isnt much different to him.

• he does play it up for you a bit (and the invisible audience in his head, he has to look cool for them always).

• makes a big show of lapping it up while locking eyes with you.

• the wide, wolfish grin on his face while his tongue swipes over the stray blood dripping off his lower lip makes you whine.

• he'll finger you whenever you ask even when you arent menstruating, it makes no difference to him, he just likes seeing you come undone on his hand.

• will let you dry hump his towel-covered thigh if hes too busy with something like a log or a paint manual (hes a study-at-the-last-possible-minute kinda guy).

• he'll fuck you however you need him to.

• want him to put you in a mating press and make you squirt all over his stomach?

• no problem.

• need something slow and tender like sitting in his lap while he gently rocks into you?

• he can do that too.

• hes a man that aims to please, and will almost never turn down the opportunity to stuff you full of himself.

• surprisingly decent at aftercare.

• he'll make sure youre mostly clean and get some water for you both before he stuffs you under his arm like a teddy bear to cuddle.

Corazon:

• hes surprised when you first ask to have sex with him on your period.

• he didnt think he would be very into it at first but the seemingly deeper intimacy of it...

• and the way youre so much more weak and pliant for him when youre like this... it does something to him.

• something clicks in him that hes gotta take care of you.

• only you.

• he's reluctant to eat you out, but he'll do it while looking up at you to make sure youre enjoying it.

• hes careful with foreplay and even more careful with the main event.

• the tenderness of the moment will probably make him cry, he feels so connected to you like this.

• doesnt even let himself savor his own release (if he even cums at all, your pleasure is so much more important in this moment) before he trips over himself to get you snacks and water and pain meds and anything he could possibly think to make you more comfortable.

• make sure to cuddle him tight and give him a big thank you kiss for all his hard work.

• he might cry again, hes just so full of love right now.

Doflamingo:

• on one hand, he thinks its kinda dirty and filthy.

• but on the other hand... hes kinda into the dirty and filthy aspect.

• he doesnt eat you out, but if you really beg him, he'll make his string clone do it while he holds you.

• even if its not the real doffy, his tongue alone makes you melt into a puddle on the mattress.

• as soon as you've cum enough for his liking, he'll shove the clone out of the way and get to work on stretching you open for himself.

• hes not very comforting, but he'll make sure youre more than satisfied so long as he gets satisfaction too.

• is decent enough to let you adjust to him but his patience does have a limit, so hurry up and relax for him already, hes got other things he needs to get done today.

• hes not as gentle as you want him to be, but he'll get you to the finish line even if you cant keep his pace.

• having you so sensitive and compliant for him like this makes him all the more cocky (unfortunately).

• heavy on the teasing dirty talk.

• "so weak and helpless for me, pet... what would you even do without me here to take care of you?"

• always makes you cum hard on his cock; if you squirt, all the better for his ego.

• he has to admit, something stirs in his gut when he sees your blood dripping out alongside his cum.

• not very hands-on with the aftercare portion; it truthfully wigs him out being that vulnerable, even if its you.

• he'll send a maid in to help you clean up with anything that you might need or ask for.

• what really surprises you is the pretty bouquet that comes in along with the other aftercare items.

• ...

• it doesnt happen very often, but he'll stay to cuddle with you for a little bit before the maid comes if you manage to grab him before he leaves- you dont even have to say anything for him to know what you want.

• he supposes he can indulge you sometimes.

141 couples picking each other up (why+reactions)

Uh- yeah. Many rambles one day. I did SoapGhost, PriceNik, AlejandroRodolfo, and GazRoach (because 1. It's cute and 2. I don't wanna leave my husband out of this because he isn't mainstream popular) it's meant to be seen as romantic/relationship but I might make another platonic one if you want.

CW: none? I'm pretty sure it's just cute blorbos picking each other up.

Ghost picks up Soap

Soap picks up Ghost

Pretty common, sometimes your boyfriend is being a little goober and the only way to stop him from blowing up everything is to just... Scoop him. Tends to go with a bridal carry if it's just them together, full on tosses him over his shoulder if Soaps is being a little shit. Soap doesn't really mind, he likes being tall (and being next to Ghost's tits)

Nikolai picks up Price

Ghost.exe has stopped responding. Seriously though, if you ever want to break Simon (and you won't get punched in the neck for touching him) just lift him off the ground a bit. The first time Soap lifted him off the ground (barely) Ghost just froze. Didn't move, didn't breath, just kinda became a statue. It might be rare but if Soap ever manages to lift Ghost (never elegantly, he's too big for that. Ya just kinda gotta grab what you can and heft it up) then it just full on breaks the Lt. He's much more comfortable being held by Soap if his feet are still firmly planted on the ground.

Another common one (just hidden better). Tends to happen behind closed doors, usually when John is stressed or trying to overwork himself. The former leads to him wrapping his legs around Nik's waist, arms around his neck, and just enjoying the closeness (and maybe Nik gets to grabs at his lover's ass, but who needs to talk about that). The latter is always a lot less calm and cozy, more like a death match. Sadly Papa Price is no match for Daddy Nikolai 😔. The one time they actually did anything like that in public was after a mission that almost lead to Nik's death. The second Nik actually touched down he was bounding over. John practically throws himself at Nikolai, doing the whole romantic twirl hug thing. The Sargent's may have thrown up slightly in their mouth slightly, but Ghost was just happy to know his dad's were happy.

Price picks up Nikolai

Another rare occurrence. In fact, the only time it happened (that wasn't in a life or death situation) was back when they were younger. Both drunk out of their minds (Nikolai was slightly less shit faced than John), he makes the dumb decision to try to scoop up Nik. It actually works! For a second before they both come crashing down, thankfully onto a bed. Still, it was all giggles and kisses, just a really sweet moment.

Rodolfo picks up Alejandro

While I can't say this happens often, when it does it's ummm- threatening? Like Rudy is just so done with his hotheaded handsome husband, he just pins him against the wall. It probably wouldn't be as hot scary if it wasn't for the fact that Ale is literally off the ground, feet dangling. Rudy doesn't exactly look mad per-say, more just tiered. He's delt with this idiot for years, sometimes he just needs a break. So what does he do? Picks him up obviously. Long story short, that night ends with cuddles and both men significantly more calm (I'll let you decide why)

Alejandro picks up Rodolfo

Another rare one but mostly because even though he's smaller than Alejandro, Rudy is... Feisty. And he bites. But sometimes, only sometimes, Rudy is tired. He's tired and angry and just wants a break. It's then that Alejandro swoops in, takes the hissing man into his arms and just... Holds him. Keeps him close. Reminds him that no, he's not in that fire. That everything is okay. That they still have each other.

Roach picks up Gaz

He doesn't. I'm sorry but he can't. The most he gets is getting Gaz a few inches off the ground, even that takes some effort. He will offer yank Gaz into laying on top of him, the weight helping him sleep better.

Gaz picks up Roach

Gaz however, enjoys picking Roach up. A mix of all of the others when it comes to holds, he also enjoys squishing him to his chest like a large teddy bear or holding him up as if showing him off. They might both be twink-shaped but Gaz is still taller, you better believe he holds that over Roach's head (literally). Another common thing is the backpack, Gaz just going about his business (usually working out) with Buggy just kinda hanging on. And yes, Gaz has let Roach sit on his shoulders to 'experience being tall'.

BONUS FOR MAKING IT THIS FAR and I was thinking about an ask from a certain account (you know who you are)

I'm sorry but König and Horangi don't pick each other up. Horangi would literally die and König would also literally die (both from very different causes). Horangi gets crushed to death the second König puts any real weight on him and König would get his eyes scratched out by a tiger who's too much of a dom to be picked up.

Uhhh- that's all I think? Btw I found out why I'm so wack, it turns out I forgot to take my meds yesterday 🥲 I'm fine now but sorry y'all had to see that weird manic whatever today was. I love you! I'm gonna go pass out for three days now! Okay bye!

[tiredassmage]

Does your OC have a type? Have they ever been surprised by their feelings for someone who doesn't fit this?

For any one who speaks up!

[ A Short Ask List About Love ]

Ohhh, I absolutely have to use this one to drag Tyr a little /affectionate.

Because I don't think Tyr would say he has a type - physically, at least. And I, for the longest time, also wouldn't have accused him of such things, but there is definitely a kind of hilarious wrench in that idea that one of my friends pointed out once in our blorbo shipping enterprise /lh, and frankly if I don't give Tyr shit for at least quarterly, like... c'mon. The guy's really good at a lot of things. I gotta take the silly passes that I can on the guy to keep him humble, lmao.

Because if I put Shara Jenn, Alucren Ellery, Jonas Balkar, and say... at least two of my friend's (@shadowsofdread) blorbos on a line, namely Hyroh and Taizi... And I mean. coughs. Cecil. Sorry, Taizi.

Ya might notice that this is a crowd with dark hair. /lh. And also that Tyr has apparently inherited my weakness for beautiful eye colors. Oops.

And, y'know, I can't give the guy too much shit for it. Because he's certainly got taste. 😔 And if I stretch the definition from that crowd mostly being black hair, arguably a lot of the people I'd consider on this man's partner list fall under 'darker' hair colors more broadly.

And there is also arguably that time he flirted with Leo in a cantina once, even if it was just to convince the guy to go home and sleep off being clearly intoxicated so someone didn't steal his rent's worth of credits more than to actually do anything with the guy. Chivalry isn't entirely dead etc etc.

But really I think it's just kind of a hilarious accident. Specifically still a hilarious one, for sure. Tyr's not really a guy to be looking for something based on physical attraction alone - because his heart's got a habit of just kind of leaking out of him even when he's not actively consciously choosing to lead with it. I mean, I could also tease him that he's got a weak spot for anyone that's also in the intelligence business or kind of an adjacent role. No matter how bad for his own interest it could possibly be, Tyr kinda can't help but stick his nose in that one with the kind of curiosity to test how alike or different in views they might be - because he can't live with just standing by and not offering a hand to help someone that might just need a reminder they're not alone in these systems that don't quite have places for people in... his kind of work.

So, generally, I... don't think he's surprised necessarily by the kind of people he ends up feeling... drawn to. I mean, to an extent he is, and he isn't. Hyroh's a Jedi, which is perhaps the galaxy's idea of an unlikely pair when you look at the two of them, and Taizi's a Sith - and arguably a quite prominent one, at least for a time, and Tyr's had a lifetime of mistrusting the bastards (generalized), so... in those ways? It's just been... unlikely.

But if there's any surprise, it's short-lived, replaced quickly by curiosity. Few and far between, generally, are the people that pause long enough to ask him who are you? to mean something more than... Cipher Nine. And Nine's a convenient answer for most of his life - one he goes back to and keeps pieces of even to this day, even with many of the people he's close to, because Nine's familiar. Nine has his uses still, even to Tyr.

He's lucky enough that largely, he seems to have been a pretty sound judge of character thus far on who to let get close and stay in his life. There's an AU or two here or there that we don't heavily work with where sometimes Tyr gets his hesitance to be involved with someone like a Sith Lord proven right, and Tyr will choose leaving rather than entirely breaking himself and his ideals just to stay with someone who can't respect when he sets boundaries at those ideals. And that's just a tiny bit of a shame, because I don't often otherwise really articulate that Tyr is someone that will leave, even though he's loyal enough that he's shattered bone and hollowed out his marrow to protect others. He's got a lot of heart, and he's willing to put a lot into someone when they give him a safe place to slough off some of his burdens for a while, but... he's still someone who can't tolerate if that's at the cost of others - if that has collateral damage. If the grip becomes hurtful instead of protective.

Tyr's someone who... everyone he's ever respected or loved..? They've hurt him, somehow. Some of them in ways that a lot of people might consider unforgivable, that Tyr stuck through anyway. That didn't make Tyr change his opinion of them, really. So, it's... that alone doesn't make anything particularly special. But there's still a line of intent there. Usually, people who cross it meaningfully, with the intent to leave scars... They don't last very long, or at least Tyr doesn't stick around to see it.

[crazylittlejester]

I am literally bombarding your asks recently and I apologize profusely I am just a bored little guy and I need some way to just scream out the things I want to and, you are the best candidate so...

this is a question this time around because I've wondering how people think about this (and because I might need feedback for a fic I'm thinking about writing..)

BUT ANYWHO my question is, how do you think the LU links would interact with HW Link? (NOT Warriors) it's been an idea I've had on my mind for literal months and I've struggled with ways to execute it because I'm so clueless on how all the characters would interact 😭

I appreciate your feedback!!!

nah man don’t apologize!! I love to hear from ya :)

i wanna start off by saying im sorry it took me so long to answer this. i was thinkin about it at work all day and kept jottin’ stuff down and then i thought i posted it but accidentally just saved it to drafts alskdkddl 😭

ok so you said HW Link, not Wars, and I’m interpreting that as biblically accurate, as god intended, no headcanons applied to him Hyrule Warriors Link, who is like 17 and doesn’t speak. I think right off the bat, a MAJOR difference would be biblically accurate HW Link NEEDING Proxi there with him so he could communicate with the others. Also if you’d be throwing him in there as a 17 yo, I think his role in the group would be very different. He may be a captain used to leading, but the way he’d look to his allies for support (especially after he got HUMBLED) leads me to believe he would look to Time more so as a leader like the others do and recognize him as someone who’s older and has more life experience (not WAR experience, LIFE experience), instead of how I think Warriors looks at Time as someone equal to himself. Like I think HW Link would respect him in a different way, from a different perspective (THIS IS ALL ASSUMING WE’RE NOT COUNTING MASK AS CANON- If we ARE, well then that’s still his shit little brother, but I think it would be VERY weird for biblically accurate 17 yo HW Link to see Mask being in his 30s)

HW Link in his game really comes off as someone who’s very quiet, just because of how he’s kinda just 🧍‍♂️in the back sometimes while the girls are arguing, (fighting for my life to not throw any of my headcanons on him rn) and because of that energy he brings to the table, I think he’d be closest with Four. Four, who is equally as dramatic, but also on the quieter side. And both of them greatly value their alone time. I think they’d be very similar

I also think he’d like Twilight and Sky still, but where I can see Warriors as the instigator of the chaos in the trio, i think HW Link would be more subtly insane. Like he’d still go crazy with them, but not in such a bold way and HE certainly wouldn’t be the one starting it. Twilight and Sky wouldn’t look up to him the same way either, because he’d be younger than them

my brain is slowly melting its so hard to separate biblically accurate HW Link from the special little blorbo he’s become to me, BUT HOPEFULLY THIS IS COHERENT AND HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS!!!

@hyruledwarriorr

[oddball-artz]

I am gonna flood your inbox, just warning you now 🤗

So, you want questions? I'll give some to ya.

1. How tall is Dalia?

2. If she was granted anything she could want, what would she want?

3. Any family? If so, who's she closer too?

4. How does she feel about colorguard? Is she good at it?

5. If she was friends with one of my own oc's? Who, and why would she be friends with them?

6. Lastly, if she was dared to eat dirt for 20$ would she?

Sorry for all the questions! I wanna know more abt her, and squeeze her like she's one of my blorbos.

Here we go, in order! :]

1, Dalia is 5'6, and she's also 15 and weighs around 160 pounds just to cover bases

2, if she could have anything, it would probably be peace of mind. She's usually worried about something or someone, and she puts her concerns about and need to protect those close to her above her own needs. She wants a way to just shut out her thoughts and have the peace her epithet can provide to others, but if she tries to use her epithet on herself it doesn't work, so she's constantly seeking out ways to get that peace, but her thoughts never go away, she can push them to the back of her mind but they're always there and she wishes they weren't. (Lowkey needs therapy tbh)

3, alr family wise she has a pretty big family(so many cousins but I'll make a tree later, I promise) but for immediate family she has 2 siblings, both younger. The middle kid is Esme, and she's 9, and she's pretty close with Dalia (even though some days she makes her wanna rip her own hair out bc omfg does this kid not listen). The youngest is named Jasper, he's 8, and he's sweet, but that doesn't mean he doesn't cause trouble, it's just that when he just does it's more sneakily than when Esme does it. When they play together, it's just basically this (https://youtube.com/shorts/7EVy_Bh6lNk?si=qKcONC0YZzcMUH2b sorry idk how else to link it) Dalia regularly walks in on them being like this and is used to it at this point. Her mom is pretty distant and is constantly working, and Dalia wishes she was around more. Her mom(named Avery) also just kinda pins her siblings onto Dalia whenever her dad isn't home. Her dad(named Carter) is a stay at home dad who's trying his best. He's got a lot going on, but despite it all, he's pretty close with Dalia. They have the same sense of humor, so if you put them in a room together, they constantly crack jokes at each other. He was on drumline when he was her age, and that's part of the reason she joined guard bc she wanted to be involved with the marching band like her dad. She looks up to him a lot.

4, she likes colorguard a lot, but there was definitely a learning curve. If you saw her at her first performance compared to her latest, you wouldn't think it's the same person. She gets super nervous before performances tho (she cried because of her nerves before her first real performance) but the more performances and practice she got under her belt the better her nerves have gotten(she still gets a little panicky before big shows and parades, but nothing compared to how it used to be)

5, Prolly Sabrina, i feel her idgaf energy would ground Dalia in a way(I have a lot of friends with that energy and idk why but it grounds me, so now figuring out why is Dalia's problem lmao) They also have similar music taste(Dalia playlist coming soon) If they were friends they'd totally send eachother fanfic for fandoms they're both in at ungodly hours of the night lmao

6, short answer, no (but if you push, yes.) Long answer no, and not because she's above eating dirt for cash but because she knows she'll probably get made fun of if she does. She folds to peer pressure pretty easy tho (people pleaser) and could probably be convinced to if you pushed her about it.

(Sorry this took so long to make lmao, and tysm for asking questions about her. Sorry if this is kinda bad. I'm a better artist than I am a writer)

I finally wrote my prompt I sent to @stealingyourbones back in November! well part of it. This is just chapter 1, so this gets a summary @dpxdcshipweek

Edit: forgot to say that I got help with the usernames from the wonderful @tourettesdog and @half-dead-ham! (If I'm wrong it's bc I'm not at home rn to look at my notes)

Ao3 link: Here Master List: Here

Summary: Danny has always had more internet access than a child really should have had. He tended to spend that time on game forums and different websites dedicated to space. Everyone once in a while he'd venture onto one about heroes and villains. That's how he met Tim Drake-Wayne or BatShadow as was his username back then.

Chapter 1: Blorbo Supplier

Danny just wanted to see uncommon pictures of Superman. It really shouldn't have been this hard. He's an alien, there should be a lot of pictures of him. Frustrated with his lack of results he resorts to looking for the pictures through unpopular social media websites that should have new pictures. His first look didn't meet his goal, and before he could even think of trying again he was distracted by a post. It was a picture of a figure swinging between skyscrapers, backlit by neon light all against a smog filled sky. It was stunning and made all the more captivating by the identity of the subject in the photo. A picture of Batman, The Batman, taken in a way that you couldn't deny it was him. That was impressive on its own, but the quality is what made it shine. Danny had to see if the account had more pictures of Batman, or even other heroes. Looking at the blog, hoping it wasn't a deactivated user, he finds the posts of BatShadow. 

The blog is a gold mine of pictures of Batman and Robin with some villains the duo we're fighting. All with stunning quality, with each subject undeniable as who they were but still giving a sense of privacy. Sadly, Danny couldn't find any other heroes pictured, but Danny could live with that. Batman was his third favorite hero, he blames Sam and all her knowledge on the edgy and obscure. She would be ecstatic about these photos, too bad he wasn't going to tell her. He was being petty. Sam should have known better than to say he couldn't keep a secret, so this is his secret now! Pettiness aside, Danny was going to message BatShadow to see if they had pictures of other heroes they hadn't posted.

Messages begins with BatShadow

(04-17-20xx)

ConstellationCruiser:

Hey, sorry to bother ya

I just saw your posts and was wondering if you have any pics of superman

BatShadow:

I don't know. I would have to look. I don't usually go to an area with him in it much, so no promises.

ConstellationCruiser: 

Thanks!! And that's fine really, it's just that your pics are amazing

BatShadow:

Thanks! Sorry, I have nothing for Supes.

ConstellationCruiser:

Damn

It's fine 

I wasn't really expecting much

I'm just surprised at the quality and quantity ya got there

BatShadow: 

It's super hard to get them without being caught but so worth it!

Danny continued talking to BatShadow about pictures and superheroes. Eventually switching to personal interest. Danny learns that BatShadow skateboards and in turn he tells them all about the stars. By the end of their conversation it was well into the night, Jazz wasn't going to be pleased. It was worth it though.

—-----

Danny ended up messaging again the next day, and the day after that. The other user was interesting and he was just so broad. Especially during these long summer days where Sam was off at some gala trip and Tucker was on vacation with his family. His parents being busy in the Lab at all hours and Jazz working a summer job didn't help. Even with Jazz trying to get him out of the house but it never really was worth it. Not with Dash and his gaggle out. Not without his friends there.

It's not like anyone besides Jazz would care about what he was doing online. Their parents were too caught up in drawing out plans and blueprints for a ghost portal or something. He doesn't care, it's more of the same for him. Don't get him wrong, he loved his parents and they loved him. They just pay more attention to their inventions, and this one happens to be one Danny can't help out with.

He's getting distracted. Danny was supposed to be cleaning the lab, not thinking of long gone days. It was taking way longer than he thought it would. His parents really aren't as careful with their samples as they really should be. After cleaning spilled ectoplasm from the vent grates he will finally be done, then he can get on the computer and add BatShadow on Steam. They were going to play Portal 2 together later.

—----

Tim didn't think he would still be talking to ConstellationCruiser. It was unexpected, but not unwelcome. He wouldn't admit it to anyone, (if there was anyone to talk to in the first place), but he was lonely. So, sue him if he got attached to the other kid with too much free time on their hands. They may not have told each other their ages but it wasn't hard to figure out, they talked too similar.

It was nice to really connect with someone his age. ConstellationCruiser was smart like him, just in different areas. He had learned more about the stars and space travel in the last handful of months than he ever had in his 12 years of life. He knows he wasn't any better, going on about hacking and maybe the new murder mystery that came out. It was fun, learning about the other's interests and different things than what's normal for them. 

ConstellationCruiser's parents seem to have some type of lab in the basement of their house, which was cool in concept but concerning in practice. There have been times where they had to stop in the middle of a game they were playing together to check on an explosion they heard. It happened more than Tim was comfortable with but there's nothing he can really do about it. It's not like he was anyone better about certain aspects of his life either. He avoided the topic of food as much as possible, though it seems ConstellationCruiser is doing the same thing with the topic.

Tim just hopes the other won't worry over him not responding the next couple of days. He probably should warn them but this is time sensitive. Batman needs a Robin. The man is running himself into the ground. His new found grief choking him and by extension Gotham. He has to convince Nightwing to come back, no matter what it takes.

Sorry things have been so busy this week, still job searching- still waiting for interviews and call backs and stuff so I’m not fully “moved” ya know, but as promised writing will slowly trickle back in once I get a proper desk set up so I can remake character sheets and start all my stories with a new, fresh creative attitude.

Hoping next week is a little less busy so I can start doing headcannons again. I need my blorbo thoughts back-

But Heath wise, things are stable and looking up once I get in with primary health care, and once one of the jobs I applied for picks me I can work up to more health insurance! I get to go to Disney tomorrow and I’m excited, so expect a new pride post later today cause we’re dying our hair rainbow for Disney pride!

Love you all so so much! 🥰

Greetings! Grüße! Здравствуйте! Hola! Hej!

Hallo! :D

This is my introduction post. If ya feel like it, please read through.

NAMES LIST HAS BEEN FIXED FOR NOW, but be aware that it will most likely break again in the near future.

EDIT: So, about the names list. Every time I update it, the link breaks, and I have to go back and fix it. At this point, it's just annoying and tedious trying to backtrack it every time I change my username, so, I hereby declare it a graveyard for faces past. Make of it what you will.

I'm Bis, or Bucket, but you can call me by my account shorthand if it pleases you.

I go by She/Her or He/Him but I lean heavily towards She/her.

I am in many, many, MANY fandoms, and my interests tend to switch rapidly and without warning. I reblog a lot, and I will flood your dash with whatever and be totally unrepentant.

If you're going to follow me, please be aware that I don't, can't, and won't remember to tag everything for triggers. You're responsible for your experience here, but I absolutely will not, under any circumstances, go out of my way to worsen it or trigger you on purpose.

I block easily and with little consideration. I won't hound you down either if you block me, for any reason. Your reasons are your own, and I respect your decision. I expect you to extend me the same courtesy.

My age is Don't Ask, I live in the US and I'm not saying where, I am online whenever I feel like it and that is not all the time. I have hard boundaries and if they're crossed, instant block. No ifs, ands, buts or whys, straight block.

I only speak english, sorry to say, but I am making a tiny effort to learn at least a few words in others.

I have Many, Many, Many usernames and change them rapidly with little warning. If you need the list, it's >>>right here<;<<. If you see an unfamiliar name on dash, it's best to just assume it's me.

The names list also doubles as a fandom tag, so use that to see whatever I'm in.

I don't have dedicated fandom tags, but I do have infrequently used blorbo tags, but they aren't featured.

I will, under no circumstances, interact with the harry potter fandom or J.K Rowling or her works. Her work is beyond bigoted, she is beyond bigoted, her fanbase feeds into it and refuses to stop, and she uses her fame to actively ruin jewish and trans lives with a massive terf following. I block if I see it on dash on sight.

As this is a showerfam blog, I am wont to RP whenever I feel like it, but I have a tendency to forget about it, so please, be patient with me.

That's all I got for now.

Fair tides and warm winds out there mate, good hunting! :D

[inkshine]

(reblogging from my main account due to technical issues)

Thank you for the tag! Sorry for the late response, I didn't see the notification for this for some reason?? Well, now that that's been remedied, let's jump in!

How long have you had your writing Tumblr/Writeblr? A fast and loose estimate is fine!

I made my first Writeblr sometime around 2022-ish, but I hardly ever posted anything there. Then one night, after really getting my stride on Writeblr for the first time, there was a Tumblr glitch and the blog was accidentally deleted in 2023. I remade it that same night. So 2023, but 2022 if you want to be specific about details.

What led you to create it?

I had just self-published my first book and was trying to promote it on social media more. I was super shy at first and hardly posted anything, but now that I've relaxed and figured out how this site works, I love it!

What’s your favorite thing about the Writeblr community?

How many new people I've met and how many people's writing I've gotten the chance to read. I never would have made these connections without Writeblr, and I'm forever grateful.

What’s one thing you’d like your mutuals to know about you?

If I'm being brutally honest, I still have some shyness I'm working through. For years before I published, and even for some time after getting published for the first time, I didn't really tell anyone about my writing unless they were close friends or family. I had never even posted any long-form writing online before self-publishing. I went straight for the big guns lol. But a side effect of this is that sometimes I still feel awkward talking about my writing sometimes, so if you've ever talked to me about an oc and my response seemed cryptic or weird, I'm sorry. It's not you, it's me. This doesn't mean I don't want people to talk to me about my writing (please do!) it just means I want you to know I can be awkward sometimes.

When someone asks the dreaded, “What do you write about,” question, what do you usually say?

I usually just default to "YA fantasy" lol.

Let’s Rotate Blorbos

Name any characters you created.  Side characters, protagonists, antagonists, characters who’ve never been written, the first original abomination you ever pulled from your ass; whomever you’d like!

Ursa, Isabella, Peter, Gemm, Claudia, Kahzeh, Su, Kazik, Kainma, Iwa, Nai, Leeva, Yufei, Hayde, Agath, Troopi, Tamsen.

Who’s the most unhinged?

Oh, that's a tough one. I'm going to go with Kazik, the main antagonist of Splintertown. He committed a crime far beyond the pale and spent three years running from it, twisted up inside by his own guilt and instability. While his villainy isn't on as "grand" of a scale as some other antagonists who want to take over the world and stuff, he's just sunk to such deep lows that he feels he has nothing left to hold him back. There's nothing hinging him, so he's well, unhinged.

Who comes the most naturally for you to write?

To be honest? I don't know.

Do you ever cringe at them?

Oh yeah. Some of them are pathetic, but what can I say? They're my pathetic losers.

How much control do you feel you have over your characters?  AKA, do they ever “write themselves,” refuse to cooperate, or do things you didn’t expect? To what degree? Are some less cooperative than others?

I feel like I create an outline for the plot of my story, and then my characters create their own path through it. (I guess that's a fancy way of saying I figure more of the minute details and exact order of events by experiencing it through them). Things have definitely gotten pretty unexpected, I would say all of them take things into their own hands at some point.

Do you enjoy people asking questions about your characters? And do you have a preferred means of receiving said questions? For example, as Asks, as replies, as reblogs, as tag notes, as comments on AO3, etc.

I *love* asks, replies, all of it!

Is there anything you’d like to see more of on your dash?

Not really, I'm pretty satisfied with how it is right now. Keep being awesome, guys!

What makes you decide against following?

If a person expresses bigoted beliefs, or a lot of other common DNI criteria. Although I'm gonna be honest, I just straight up don't follow that many people. I just don't get the urge to follow someone very frequently, even if I genuinely like them. I should probably change that. But just if you're seeing this and I don't follow you, don't worry, it's not you, it's me.

Which Works-in-Progress (WIPs) or writing projects are you noodling about, lately?

I am *deep* into working on a third novel, which I'm not going to talk about here because 1. I have so much to say about it I would probably end up derailing this entire post and 2. I dislike talking about my WIPs before they're finished. I feel like giving people too many details or expectations would make me feel pressured to stay within the pre-existing idea I gave people, possibly hindering my own writing process. (I will answer the next WIP related questions, just avoiding details.)

How long have you been working on them?

Shadow's Hidden Blade took about 2 years. I started in 2020, and it was finished in 2022. The earliest concept I had for something that would become Splintertown was all the way back in 2018-2019, and I kept that vague concept on the backburner until about 2021, when I started working on it in earnest. It was finished in 2024. As for my secret work in progress, I got inspired to create in 2020, and it's still being worked on, potential completion date unknown.

Do you remember what inspired them/what got you started?

Shadow's Hidden Blade and Splintertown were both inspired by music! In 2020 I heard the song "Something Wicked" by Vernian Process, which is about a creepy circus. I started toying with my own ideas for a magic circus in my head, and something very large and strange began to grow from that initial very small idea. The earliest drafts of that story are nothing like the final product, and for that I'm honestly glad, because now it's the Shadow's Hidden Blade we all know and love.

In 2018-2019 I heard the song "Nightmare Parade" by FAKE TYPE, which is about the Japanese myth of the baku. I was hynotized by the music and the concept, and wanted to create my own creature in my head that ate dreams. Splintertown grew from there over the years. (Disclaimer: I am not Japanese. The dream-eating creatures in Splintertown are not baku, they are my own creation with a similar ability. I am not claiming to have any right or ownership over the Japanese myth in any way.)

Secret Work in Progress was also initially influenced by a song and some music, and also a dream I had. It's now totally different than all of the things that initially inspired it, though!

How much time, in your best estimation, do you spend thinking about them?

...a lot.

Do you interact with non-mutuals often?

A lot!

Do your mutuals’ characters occupy space in your noodle?

I really enjoyed The Tengu and The Angel by @alinacapellabooks and I thought about Kunio a lot when I first read the book. I loved The Silver Birds by @apolline-lucy , it's a treasure!

Tagging @thebearthatreads

✨Writer Questionnaire Tag ✨

Thank you for the tags @wyked-ao3 here, and @thatuselesshuman here ! Y’all are great! 💛✨

How long have you had your writing Tumblr/Writeblr? A fast and loose estimate is fine!

I’ve had this blog since….end of April? Early May?

What led you to create it?

When I set up all my socials, I wanted to use this as a way to build a writing community, share my stories, and exploring and sharing the ideas of other likeminded individuals.

What’s your favorite thing about the Writeblr community?

How kind and welcoming writeblr is. The community is supportive of everyone’s stories and OCs, and everyone has some wonderfully unique and fascinating characters.

What’s one thing you’d like your mutuals to know about you?

You are always. Always. ALWAYS welcome to tag me, message me, send asks, interact with me. I absolutely endorse the engagement and excitement in this community, and even though I may miss a few tags, just know that seeing you tag me to see your stories brings the biggest, goofiest smile on my face. Thank you for being you and sharing your creative minds with us 💛✨

Is there anything you’d like to see more of on your dash?

Kindness, support, and creative stories. Keep writing, keep inspiring, keep on keeping on.

WIP it Good

Which Works-in-Progress (WIPs) or writing projects are you noodling about, lately?

Your Wish Is My Command is my current WIP at about 75% complete. I have a little bit to share from Tenshito as well, but the latter will have to get majorly cut down and restructured before it’s ready ✨

How long have you been working on them?

Planning and ideas began a couple of years ago. Writing them down? For YWIMC since early May, and Tenshito since 2020 (took a hiatus to focus on work and big life stuff, like moving twice and getting married)

Do you remember what inspired them/what got you started?

My love of storytelling, video games, and Disney. I wrote and published Peter Hart based off of a few of my favorite video games 🏴‍☠️💛✨

How much time, in your best estimation, do you spend thinking about them?

All the time. At least once a day, if not more. My stories help me get to sleep…when I eventually GET to sleep 😴💤

When someone asks the dreaded, “What do you write about,” question, what do you usually say?

BL romantasy novels. It encompasses every person asking, and umbrellas many subgenres.

Let’s Rotate Blorbos

Name any characters you created.  Side characters, protagonists, antagonists, characters who’ve never been written, the first original abomination you ever pulled from your ass; whomever you’d like!

Oof that’s a big list. Let me just do major protagonists/antagonists from stories: Peter, Benjamin, Davey, Ali, Noah, Tenshi, Itazura, Yoji, Tyr, Gustav, Jak, Johnny, Nathan, X, Ollie, and Callum

Who’s the most unhinged?

Peter 🏴‍☠️💛✨

Who comes the most naturally for you to write?

Peter 🏴‍☠️💛✨

Do you ever cringe at them?

Sometimes….depends on what they do. I never cringe at my stories, but sometimes my characters make choices that personally make me go “😬”

How much control do you feel you have over your characters?  AKA, do they ever “write themselves,” refuse to cooperate, or do things you didn’t expect? To what degree? Are some less cooperative than others?

(Slowly looks over at Peter)

Peter: …..What?

Do you enjoy people asking questions about your characters? And do you have a preferred means of receiving said questions? For example, as Asks, as replies, as reblogs, as tag notes, as comments on AO3, etc.

Oh always!! ALWAYS!! Any method is absolutely fine and encouraged by me, but I ALWAYS love when people leave AO3 comments on my stories 💖💫✨

On writeblr engagement

What makes you want to follow another Writeblr account? Do you follow ‘em as you see ‘em, or take time scoping out the blog to make sure you align with its content? Do you follow based on WIPs, or vibes?

I scope out the content before I follow for sure. Because I write adult fiction, I look through posts to make sure that our interests would align, and that the blog mentions an age that is 18+. If I am ever uncertain or have a suspicion beyond a reasonable doubt that the blog is run by a minor, I won’t follow them (and unfollow if I get suspicious of their posts)

What makes you decide against following?

I use discretion on age, politics, and religion before following. Any homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise hateful conduct gets automatically blocked. The world needs more kindness and uplifting of one another. We need to bring each other up, not tear each other down.

Do you interact with non-mutuals often?

I try to! Usually in the form of reblogs and ask games. My pile for work and tumblr keeps stacking though, so I find myself getting very busy very often (and that’s a good thing! ✨)

Do your mutuals’ characters occupy space in your noodle?

All the time, every time. To name a few mutuals: G.J, Jamie, Gioia, Casper, Tobin, Jay, Wyked, Gina, and Jev have characters that are my current hyperfixations. But there are SO, SO many that are so interesting that I want to learn more!! ✨

Thank you so much for tagging me, you two!! Going to alert the tag list on this one 💛✨

[answer this whenevah] happy blorbo blursday, eve! so, for alex, did they feel rejection or affection as a child? sorry for teh angsty question, i am just curious. sending good ~~ vibes ~~ and good luck to ya. :3 - 🌟

i finally had the time to answer, so get ready for serious angst

alex's circle of affection was very small. it was their momma, the guard, their mum, but distantly after she moved for work, and, of course, elestial. those three showered them in affection as much as they could: their momma taught them to defend themself and gives them work to keep them busy and just generally cares for them; their mum sends gifts and takes them around the city the few times they go to visit; elestial gives them company and has made many gadgets to help with paperwork or, more importantly, take care of their animals

when alex was cursed with bad luck, everything went wrong around them. people were injured, broke objects, lost things, and generally had a bad time. they connected the dots and started avoiding alex, ignoring them, insulting them to their face and behind their back, and, in extreme cases, attacking them (only when their momma wasn't around because she wouldn't hesitate to defend her baby) so alex avoided people back, tired of the way they were treated, and preferred to choose to be alone than face the world

https://archiveofourown.org/works/37950898/chapters/95145871#workskin@adrinetteapril Sorry if this isn't enough blorbos but I promise it'll get better? Won't be offended if you don't reblog or if you only want to post the bit where they're interacting.Prompt: AU (Canon Divergence, following Penalteam)

Adrien was giddy with excitement.

For once, it was no difficult task to drag himself out of bed at 5 in the morning (especially after a longer patrol than normal, swapping Miraculouses and training Berlioz how to use his). For once, however, getting up at 5 didn’t mean an hour of showering, primping, hair styling and makeup in order to be ready for a dawn photoshoot.

Today, there was a bus waiting at school to take him, his friends, his class, his entire cohort away for three glorious days of freedom, adventure, and bonding in the French countryside; no phone reception, no lessons, no extra-curriculars, no cold vast bedroom, no lonely meals. No Ladybug. That was the only thing he’d probably miss while he was away. And Plagg, he thought, slipping Wayzz’ Turtle bracelet over his wrist and greeting the little green Kwami.

Still, it was only a few days. Ziplining! Kayaking! Roasting marshmallows! Sharing a tent! They might even get to see some stars.

Adrien was practically vibrating as he slung his duffel bag over one shoulder and went downstairs.

Nathalie (back to overworking, now she had that brace) stepped out of his father’s atelier as he approached the front door, double-checking that he’d packed everything on the list they’d been given. (Sunscreen? Yes. Swimwear? Towel? Yes. Waterproof bag protector? Yes. Toothbrush? Yes. Enough clean underwear? Yes. Outdoor clothes [with a wrinkled nose]? Yes. Sheets? Yes.) He fought to retain his composure, to not explode in excitement and impatience before she finally nodded him away and he could escape, escape, escape.

He hardly even noticed (or cared) that his father hadn’t even said goodbye.

The bus was already waiting at the school when his car pulled up. Ms Mendeleiev was carefully stacking bags under the bus. Adrien added his duffel to the pile, had his name marked off by Miss Bustier, and raced up the stairs.

`This was it! He was on a bus, leaving Paris with his friends! Would Nino be here already? Would he have saved Adrien a seat? Adrien anxiously scanned the half-full seats. It was strange seeing several kids in more casual attire than normal. Ah! There was Nino! Waving! Adrien started forward eagerly, then stopped, crestfallen to see that his best friend already had a seatmate- his girlfriend, Alya.

‘Hey, Adrien, my man!’ Nino called. `We saved you a seat!’

He patted the back of the empty seat in front of him. Adrien slid in, smiling at his friends and trying not to let his disappointment show. Of course Nino and Alya would want to sit together; he should have expected this.

Nino draped himself over the back of Adrien’s seat.

‘Hey, dude, you don’t mind if Alya and me spend some time together on the bus, do you? Girls and boys’ll bunk separately, ya know?’

‘No, of course not.’ Adrien reassured them.

‘Besides,’ chimed in Alya, appearing over his seat too, ‘we’re not going to force you to be alone. You’ll sit with Marinette!’

That thought brightened Adrien up considerably.

‘Where is Marinette?’ He asked.

Alya rolled her eyes.

Marinette was running late.

It was 5:50 and the bus was leaving in 10 minutes but she was still shoving clothes into her backpack with a toothbrush hanging out of her mouth whilst Kwamii zoomed around her offering a litany of suggestions that ranged from helpful to obstructionist.

‘This is why I need Tikki,’ she groaned as Pollen and Ziggy zoomed past with underwear and swimmers. Daizzi followed with so many photos of Adrien they were spilling out of their paws in a horrifyingly embarrassing trail that was not coming on this trip! Before she could say more, Llong intercepted the little pig, to their distress.

‘The Guardian needs these to remind her of her love!’

‘The Guardian will be with her love,’ Llong reminded Daizzi, gesturing at Orikko to tidy up the dropped photos.

Sass flew up to hover near Marinette as she spat in her sink.

‘Do not delude yourssself, Guardian. Even Tikki could not have organissed you thiss early.’

‘You’re right, Sass,’ she sighed, as she turned to see Stompp attempting to shove her giant cat pillow into her backpack, while Mullo hovered nearby with a pot-plant. ‘Why did I think I’d have time to pack in the morning!?’

‘Marinette?’

‘AAHHH!’

A knock sounded from the trapdoor under Marinette’s feet, making her jump. The Kwamii vanished into their favourite hiding places.

‘Are you nearly ready, sweetie? Your bus leaves in five minutes.’

‘Yeah, Mum, I’m coming now!’ Called Marinette, dashing over to her bag, removing a strand of decorative bunting, and shoving her towel in before straining at the zip.

Her mum pushed through the trapdoor.

‘Marinette, you’re not even dressed!’

She looked down at herself and yelled again.

‘I’m still in my pyjamas!’

‘You better hurry,’ Sabine advised, smoothly taking Marinette’s backpack and zipping it up easily as her daughter whirled back to her closet, clothes flurrying over her shoulders as she searched for something suitable.

‘Oh, dear, you’ve left a tray of food on your desk. I’ll take it down with me. We don’t want mould to grow while you’re away.’

The food was for the Kwamii.

‘NO!’ Blurted Marinette, emerging from her closet. ‘I mean, leave it there! It’s for a … a science experiment!’

‘Well, alright then. We’ll be down in the bakery. Don’t forget to say goodbye!’

Marinette threw on the leggings and tshirt she’d found and pulled on a pair of old joggers instead of her regular ballet flats. She reached for her hair ties but pulled up short as Kaalki suddenly flew up close to her face, bearing the massive sun hat that usually sat on her mannequin.

‘Excuse me, most glorious Guardian, but I believe you will require this magnificent adornment in order to make your outfit truly extraordinary!’

‘Kaalki!’ complained Marinette, ‘I don’t have time for this! And I’m not going for a, a walk on a promenade or to the beach, I’m going camping`. No accessories!’

She reached under the pouting horse for her hair ties, slipping them over her wrist. She’d do her hair on the bus.

‘I think there is one accessory you need, Guardian,’ said Llong, approaching her.

‘No, there isn’t!’

‘Are you quite sure?’ The little red dragon held up their Miraculous with one paw.

‘Oh. Right. Thanks, Llong. Sorry for snapping.’

Marinette took the choker and fastened it around her neck. The red bead flashed and changed to bubblegum pink.

She’d thought long and hard about which Miraculous to wear while Tentochu was filling in for her. Something that wouldn’t stand out too much, and would be less likely to fall off while doing hazardous outdoor activities. Especially with her… less than predictable clumsiness. Especially around Adrien. She’d considered Ziggy because their power was so similar to what she was used to, or Barkk, but dismissed the former as the clips would be too easy to lose if her hair came loose, and the latter because Barkk was too easily excitable. Besides that, plenty of fruit should be provided for snacks that she could sneak to Llong, and the Dragon Miraculous had the added benefit of not being wielded by anyone in her class and was thus less likely to be recognised.

‘Okay, guys, do not leave this room while I am gone! And don’t make too much noise. Be good! Sass is in charge.’

She’d rather have left Wayzz in charge, as he’d watched over them all when Master Fu was Guardian. But she’d given Wayzz a more important task.

And she slammed the trapdoor shut.

Marinette flew down the stairs of her family’s apartment. She dashed through the attached bakery, kissed her Papa on the cheek and hugged her Maman. They pressed upon her a giant sack of pastries (‘enough to share with everyone on the bus!’) which Marinette accepted with a gasp and another embrace each.

‘You’d best hurry, dear,’ said Sabine, with a careful eye across the road where the bus waited outside Marinette’s school, where Ms Mendeleiev was closing the undercarriage, and so she was off again, the bakery bag slung over her shoulder like a Santa sack. She was lucky; there was no traffic at the crossing and she ran across the road without waiting for a green light. Ms Mendeleiev stomped up the stairs of the bus and the door closed with a wheesh behind her.

‘Wait!’ Marinette called, waving her spare arm.

To her relief, a clamour of voices was audible from inside the bus, Rose’s high tone cutting through as she shouted;

‘There she is!’

A busload of faces pressed against the kerbside windows, waving and calling incoherently. Only one stood out to her. Adrien’s golden hair shone like a beacon.

Marinette’s heart gave a great lurch in her chest and she nearly tripped flat onto her face in front of her whole year group. Instead, windmilling her arms so hard they blurred, she skidded to a stop in front of the bus’ door right as it creaked open to accept her. She fell through gratefully, to raucous cheers and Ms Mendeleiev’s scowl.

‘Sorry, Ms Mendeleiev!’ Marinette panted.

‘This is unacceptable, Miss Dupain-Cheng. It’s bad enough that your tardiness regularly interrupts class and the instruction of your peers, but to hold up an entire bus from their departure for an excursion is inconsiderate and inexcusable.’

‘That’s enough, Ms Mendeleiev,’ Mr Damocles cut in pompously.

‘Yes. Marinette is here now, Marie,’ Miss Bustier chimed in. ‘Here, Marinette, put your bags on this empty seat. Oh! What’s all this?’

‘My parents sent pastries for everyone.’

‘How nice!’

‘There’s to be no eating on the bus!’ Barked Miss Mendeleiev.

‘Yes, unfortunately these will have to wait until we stop for a break. Alright, go find a seat for yourself.’

Alya and Nino were waving her down the bus. And Adrien. All of them were gesturing her towards the seat they’d saved; a seat next to him. Marinette felt her face flame with colour as she met his green eyes, blazing with happiness above a toothy grin.

The bus started moving as Marinette made her way down the aisle. She swayed awkwardly with the motion, grabbing at the handles. Her face burned, knowing Adrien and everyone else were watching her. She tried not to look up. That would throw her again, and she was having a hard enough time keeping her footing as it was.

Just a couple more seats to go.

She could do this! She ran along the tops of buses just fine while fighting supervillains.

She was almost there, anyway. All she had to do was lower herself gracefully into the seat next to Adrien and smile at him and say ‘good morning’. At a normal volume. That should be simple enough to not mix up.

And then, just as Marinette was about to slip into her seat, the bus lurched around a corner and she was thrown face-first across Adrien’s lap.

Hey, I’m raeathnos, but I go by Sky-Shifter elsewhere on the internet!

I’m an artist who likes to draw dragons, other fantasy creatures, tropical beaches, and space themed art. Some examples of my work, and links you can find me at below:

Slowly getting back into the groove of creating art and I’ll hopefully have new stuff to post soon-ish! I also sell adopts and take commissions (currently closed) if that’s anyone’s fancy, if you’re interested in helping a struggling artist out.

——————————————-

No art here! This is just my personal blog. I don’t have much of a theme going on, I just tend to randomly reblog things. Things you’ll see a little more frequently include Bionicle, anime/manga, witchcraft/paganism, and vulture culture. I’m meme/vine/tiktok trash, I’m sorry.

Current fandom kick: Sonic 3 reignited my Shadow obsession hELP

I also have several blorbos rotating in my mind that I am very normal about: Vakama from Bionicle, Alastor from Hazbin Hotel, Guzma from Pokemon, Shadow from Sonic, and Moordryd from DragonBooster. Expect to see these assholes (affectionate) frequently.

I’m weak for the found family + villain turning good tropes, if you didn’t figure that out from above :P

I don’t really tag much, but fav posts get tagged with #BACK ON MY DASH and cool art I like gets tagged with #HECKIN rad art. Highly recommend browsing said tags when sad, neat art and silly posts help c:

I also use this blog to vent a lot, but vent posts will always just be a ‘ . ‘ with the actual vent in the tags. I also disappear periodically due to ✨health issues✨ Don’t worry if I’m not around for a bit, I’ll be back eventually.

Ya girl identifies as a demigirl/nonbinary! Pronouns are she/they, thank you!

Antis, puriteens, terfs, maga, and those with far right ideologies will be blocked. I’m not here to debate, I’m just here to vibe. ✌🏻
