Home~ Neteyam x Metkayina!reader

Summary: Leaving behind everything he knew was hard for Neteyam and then adapting to the ways of the new clan was even harder. He'd push himself, overwork and exhaust himself even, to live upto his family's expectations; never really giving his own wants a second thought. That's why Y/N was the prefect companion for him, someone who kept things in his life balanced, who made sure to let him know that what he wanted was just as important, perhaps even more so, than what everyone else wanted of him.

//slow burn, cute friends to lovers arc, smidge of angst//

masterlist, Part 2

Part 1

🫧

It was the sound of something loud flapping amidst the wind, in the skies above that caught her attention before the curious murmurs of the clan began to engulf her. The young na'vi's ears perked up with interest as her curious azure eyes searched the skies from whence the foreign sound emerged.

She watched in pure fascination, as five emperyan-looking ikrans glided above the icy blue water. They soared right above her and by the looks of it, were headed for the beach where already a number of people had gathers to gawk at the creatures foreign to their land.

Just as curious herself, she mounted her ilu and headed toward the still growing crowd. She'd heard about an ikran; a mountain banshee is what they'd call it. It was a native species to the forest, usually rode by the Omatikaya people. It was highly unlikely that five of those intelligent bird-like creatures flew all the way out here of their own accord. There'd have to be riders. Excited to possibly be acquainted with someone from the Omatikaya clan, she urgrd her ilu to pick up pace.

When she broke to the surface of the water, her eyes immediately caught sight of her siblings Tsireya and Aonung. when she'd caught up to them, her younger sister seemed to be scolding their brother and his friend Rotxo about something. Not really bothered to inquire about their banter and antics, her attention then shifted to the group of Na'vi that stuck out from the rest of them- right from their dark blue skin to their thin tails and scrawny limbs.

"Hey" one of the Omatikaya boys greeted her sister that made the younger girl giggle bashfully.

Y/N playfully rolled her eyes at her before looking ahead again to see the other Na'vi boy smirk at the one who'd addressed Tsireya, subtly nudging him.

Y/N continued to stare, albeit rude but she was just as fascinated with the visitors as her sister was, though she was much more composed in comparison; offering only a sweet smile to the older-looking boy instead of turning into a blushing mess like her sister.

Pull yourself together Tsireya.

She was aware that by now her excessive staring had begun to preturb the visitors, judging by how the boy with the undercut averted his gaze and seemed to find the sand under his feet much more interesting. And then there was the boy next to him, who if uncomfortable by the gawking, didn’t really show it on the surface; if anything, his golden eyes stared right back into hers almost like a reticent challenge to see who's back down first.

Y/N was sweet, a little shy at times but boy was she competitive. It could be something as simple and silly as this present staring contest she'd set up and she was not going to be the first one to back down.

Aonung's eyes flickered between the two, not too happy about the other Na'vi brazenly staring at his sister. His ears ears perked up ambulatorily, as did his tail in a menacing way; face twisted into a scowl as he advanced toward the outsider. Despite his intimidating demeanour, the other boy didn’t avert his gaze and Aonung almost lost it, puffing out his chest and balling his fists at his side. His mental debate on if he should just shove the weirdo to the ground or snap at him was interrupted by his father Tonowari, the Olo'eyktan arriving amidst them; soon followed by their mother Ronal, their Tsahik, emerging from the crowd.

Y/N wanted to believe it was the other boy who looked away first at the arrival of her father but it happened so quickly that she was unsure. Maybe they both looked away at the same time.

Of course I didn’t lose, it was a tie.

When she'd snapped out of her daze, she caught on to a few words her parents said like Toruk Makto and Uturu.

There was a long pause, after which her mother began to closely look at the outsiders. She mentioned how their arms and tails were too thin for them to be strong swimmers. She then jerked one of the kids' hand upward for the crowd to see, claiming that they were not true Na'vi, and that they had demon blood.

Y/N saw her brother hiss at them from the corner of her eye. She placed her hand on his chest when she noticed he was about to step closer to them. There were already gasps of horror from the people for that comment her mother made, she did not want her stupid brother creating a whirlpool in the water.

"Uturu has been asked" The Omatikaya woman stated calmly as she stood her ground, patiently waiting for an answer.

It was obvious they had traveled a long way and were in desperate need of refuge, or else why would anyone make such a long and draining journey. There was fatigue written all over them, their shoulders hunched in defeat and though their facial expressions stayed stone cold, their eyes betrayed them, silently pleading.

"Do we have to go?" the youngest in the group asked, voice strained from the journey. Y/N's heart clenched at this and her eyes immediately searched for her mother’s.

They're desperate, she tried to tell mother when she locked gazes, please.

Ronal looked away and toward her husband, silently contemplating on what to do.

Y/N exhaled slowly when she saw her mother give their father a curt nod.

It was announced that Toruk Makto, or Jake Sully, as he'd now been introduced, would stay with them. They would have to learn their ways and Tonowari made it formally known that it would be his own children who would look after the younglings' training. Aonung wasn’t at all happy about it. Tsireya was overjoyed and Y/N well, she really didn’t mind helping out.

"Come" Tsireya chirped at the Sully family with a smile "we will show you our village"

As the crowd slowly dispersed, with the exception of a few who lingered to stare at the forest Na'vi, Y/N along with her siblings went to help the family gather their things.

As if drawn by some strong oceanic current, Y/N walked toward the older boy.

"Hi" she politely said as she watched him unload all his things off his Ikran, most of it just topping to the sand.

"Hey" he grinned at her, watching her admire the winged creature "first time seeing an Ikran?"

"Mhm" Y/N nodded, bending down to pick up a basket "they're not really part of this habitat"

"Ah don't worry" the boy sweetly tried to take the heavy basket from her, not really wanting to burden her with his own belongings. Neteyam, mighty warrior and a complete gentleman "I'm Neteyam, by the way"

"Neteyam" she repeated his name as she took a single step back so that he couldn't take what she was holding out of her hands "You can carry the million other things you’ve got with you, I can manage this."

Neteyam gave her a slight bow, amused grin plastered on his face. Judging by the stare-down they had only minutes ago, he was half expecting her to be a brat toward them.

"My name's Y/N"

Giving one last adoring glance at his Ikran, she tailed after the others who were being led by her sister with Neteyam following her; Aonung and Rotxo at the rear.

It wasn’t too long of a walk from the beach to their designated pod that Ronal had arranged for them. Tuk however, didn’t mind the walk, finding the bouncy mat-like bridges or pathways that connected the other pods in the village quite fascinating in comparison to the soil and grass she was so used to back in the forest.

"This is your new home" Tsireya happily announced, looking around with such pride, you'd think it was her who actually built the place.

"Oh yea this is great" Jake forced a smile, trying to sound just as cheerful as Tsireya. Meanwhile his mate had no filter and responded by just dramatically letting her things drop to the ground.

Y/N bit back an amused smile, a chortle threatening to escape at the woman's reaction. The place was well.. humble, to say the least. But she was sure that the great Toruk Makto and his family had a much more extravagant living space in comparison to this.

Her poor attempt at disguising her chuckle with a cough didn’t work and Neytiri immediately snapped her attention toward her. Her sharp and piercing gaze made Y/N's ears droop down as she shifted her own gaze to the ground.

"Where do I um put this?" she meekly asked her, reffering to the basket in her hand and all Neytiri did was look at her oldest son, silently asking him to help the girl.

"Give me" he smiled.

He smiles a lot, must be the Tsireya of the Sully family, Y/N thought.

"Does my mother scare you?" he asked in a hushed tone. Everyone else was busy putting away things so he took the chance to make conversation.

"She looks intimidating" Y/N honestly answered, casting a sly glance toward his mom just to make sure she wasn’t looking or hearing them "and fierce, I like it"

The boy only hummed in agreement. He couldn’t argue; his mother was the most austere and fierce woman he knew- a walking and breathing epitome of 'if looks could kill'.

"She's also really pretty" Y/N mumbled as she busied herself with helping with putting away the remainder of their things, carelessly sprawled on the floor.

Neteyam prolonged their conversation by pointing out, and indirectly introducing, each of his siblings to her, keeping their conversation short and plain.

Y/N didn’t happen to catch Neytiri's ear twitch upward, a ghost of a smile dancing on her lips at the compliment she'd just heard the Omatikaya girl give her.

___

Y/N spent her morning like how she always did: helping her mother with chopping fruits and some dried meat whilst her mom simultaneously gave her some short lesson on medicine.

Her siblings had headed out early to give the Sully kids some diving lessons. She didn’t have to join them until later in the day to help with their ilu training.

"What do you think of the outsiders?" Ronal asked, striking up a conversation as they continued with their meal prep.

"I don’t think of them as outsiders" Y/N decided to mention first, earning a questioning glance from her mom "they're Na'vi too, just from farther away"

"Your brother thinks differently" the woman sighed, examining each chunk of chopped up fruit and cutting ones that were too big "ah, ma Y/N, I told you I wanted them finely chopped, finely"

"Aonung is just not too fond of the sudden change" she shrugged, making sure to chop the fruit into smaller cubes "not to mention his absolute eagerness to tutor the them"

Ronal chuckled. She remembered the childish fit her son threw the night before, going on and on about how he should be focusing on his skills and not waste time over people who would take ages to learn even the basics. He was adamant to be the best warrior like his father, and his sister Y/N was tough competition. Not to mention his already exsisting training to be the next Olo'eyktan that would indefinitely have to be put on hold because of these Sully nuisances.

"He does not realise that this is also part of his journey to being a good leader, like his father" Ronal hummed, satisfied with how the fruit was cut "good job"

"He's stupid that way, wonder where he gets it from" Y/N smiled, happy that her chopping skills were satisfactory.

"Certainly not from your mother" She chuckled before switching back to her strict demeanour "off you go now. It is improper to be late"

___

When Y/N arrived at the agreed place to meet, everyone was already in the water, all in a cirrle around Aonung.

He clicked his tongue and let out a few short yelps to round up the ilu. Y/N watched from a distance, letting her brother take charge of the lesson. She was competitive yes but she knew when to just take a step back. It was nice to see him slip easily into the role of being the authoritative figure in the group; voice loud, clear and stern as he spoke a little about the aquatic creatures splashing in the water around them. Despite his distaste for the forest Na'vi, he was doing a good job at teaching them and keeping his annoyance to one side.

Once he was done talking, he split them up so that each one could have a tutor. Tsireya went to assit Lo'ak, Rotxo offered to help Kiri and Aonung decided to teach Tuk who he felt was the least unbearable one among the kids. So naturally, Y/N was left with Neteyam.

"First make the bond" she instructed "gently. Then hold on to this, here"

She pointed at the leather binding at the neck of the ilu.

Neteyam took his time, not too eager to rush into things. He carefully mounted the animal, following instructions well.

"Deep breath before you dive in" Y/N began to explain by waving her hands around "make sure you’re leaning forward, chest almost pressed against its back"

Neteyam lowered his torso, bordeline hugging the ilu. It squeaked in response and Y/N giggled.

"Like this?" he nervously asked, lopsided smile on his face. Judging by her reaction, he knew he'd done something wrong.

"N-not so," she placed her hand on his chest, pushing him up ever so slightly until only his stomach was touching the ilu's back "that's better"

"Okay" he nodded, looking to the front. His smile faded and his expression switched to stern and focused.

"Now think dive" she said and Neteyam did just that.

The first few seconds were amazing, almost like riding a direhorse but underwater. And then all of a sudden, he was no longer on the ilu. The creature swam ahead from under him, leaving him in a whirlwind of bubbles.

The older boy swam to the surface, looking at the ilu with a look of betrayal plastered all over his face. In the near distance, she heard her siblings erupt into laughter as well and a very irritated Lo'ak popped his head out the water.

Y/N giggled at this, the scene almost too comical.

Neteyam however, was just flustered from the top of his ears to the tip of his tail. He was so used to being the best at whatever he did that he almost felt stupid in given scenario.

"Let's try that again yea?" Y/N called out, beckoning for him to swim toward her. His ilu had already circled back to the girl "keep your thighs firmly pressed against your ilu's sides so that well.. that doesn’t happen"

The boy only chuchkled sheepishly in response. Granted that by this point, she had classified Neteyam as the sunshine boy of the family, forever smiling, it didn’t take an expert for anyone to tell that in that moment the boy was just forcing a smile to a point where it became painful to look at.

"Its okay" she tried to sound as cheerful as her sister, in hopes to drive away his disappointment "you'll get the hang of it after a few tries"

All he did was grunt as he mouted the ilu, not bothering to say anything further. She didn’t understand why he took his first trial and error to heart. It wasn’t abnormal for anyone fall off during their initial lessons. If anything, she'd find it abnormal if he did do it perfectly on his first try.

Neteyam was adamant. Every time he fell off only angered him more. He had to get this down. Setting an example for his siblings meant he didn’t have time for mishaps. Who would they look up to if he just kept fumbling over and over? What kind of role model would that make him?

He angrily splashed the water after he'd messed up for the twelfth time that day.

"Not bad" Y/N clapped, ignoring his temperament "you were mounted for almost three minutes, new record-"

"Three minutes?" he asked in between pants "no, no that’s not good enough"

"But-"

"Not good enough" Neteyam repeated himself, voice coming out more arrogant than he intended to. He usually had a very calm and collected mind but all of that was going to shit each time he made a mistake "sorry I didn’t mean to-"

"Maybe we should take a break?" the girl offered, sensing his fatigue and irritation "just breathe. You need to have a clear mind when you learn"

"Yea, okay" he sighed, not wanting to be pushy and continue with the lesson. He knew that Y/N might be tired as well, she was out teaching him for hours now. He not-so-gracefully got off the poor ilu, who was also just as tired by this point "sweet Jesus"

Her ears curiously perked up.

"What..?" she asked, tilting her head slightly with confusion.

"It's like this thing by dad says sometimes" he tried to explain, not really knowing how to fully explain the phrase "it's just something you say when you’re surprised or scared o-or tired I guess?.. uh yea"

"Sa-wheat Jee-suz" she repeated, absolutely butchering the pronunciation "what’s that?"

"Oh it’s like this God they have back on earth? It's a star far away" Neteyam told her, amused by her reaction.

"So that’s earth's Ewya" She excitedly said, fascinated by the new piece of information "what else?"

"What else?"

"What else do you know about them?"

"I know their language?"

"Say something"

At that point he felt like she was just poking fun at him. Like prodding at a small animal with a stick in hopes that it might do something that would amuse and entertain you.

"Back to training" he shook his head with a grin, ready to mount his ilu again when she held his wrist to stop him. He looked at her, not expecting her to be looking up at him with her big azure eyes filled with wonder. She was genuinely intrigued and interested to know more about the sky people.

"I'll teach you our ways" she spoke, eyes still wide and pleading "and you must tell me all you know about them"

Neteyam waited for a minute. He waited to see if she would break character and burst into fits of giggles. Who could possibly be so intrigued about the sky people and their ways? But no, she patiently waited for a response, hand still wrapped around his in a gentle hold.

"Deal?" she asked

"Deal" he answered.

[justallihere]

i saw this tiktok of a girl talking about how the titles of the emperyan books all have to do with andarna

fourth wing = because violet has two dragons so andarna literally is the fourth wing

iron flame = cause it’s andarna’s fire that powers the ward stone in the end

so basically she was like onyx storm may be named because of andarna and not just the onyx eyes we all know xaden has ☝️🙄

anyways late night thoughts but idk what to think cause on one hand i’m like idk if RY really put that much thought into the titles other than the basics of it being things directly from the book. on the other hand i’m like yk maybe she did but also i get flashbacks to iron flame where vi and xaden just didn’t discuss their issues with eachother like normal adults for over half the book. like where was the development of their relationship. i don’t really think RY is the mastermind everyone credits her as (subject to change jan 2024)

anyways everyone is asleep so ive got no one to chat w so i’ve designated your ask box as the place my FW thoughts go

feel free to ignore this xoxo

Yeah I am not. . . sold on that idea personally. I can’t take half this fandom seriously, I saw a theory the other day that Violet has 3 signets and is Naolin’s daughter and I just. Can’t.

This is just not really a series that I put a lot of effort into theorizing what may or may not happen in canon because RY hasn’t done the greatest job of laying the groundwork and giving us really in depth lore and worldbuilding to work with. I think that’s why people reach so far, they want or expect that type of foreshadowing to be present and so they assign meaning to every little thing but so far it just isn’t working for me. It’s not a bad thing, I love these books and I think they’re very fun. Not everything has to be super complex high fantasy. Sometimes authors just say shit to say shit. But I have more questions than answers and really not enough context to so much as guess and I have other things to do

[katyspersonal]

I think Miquella was Malenia's older sibling, I dunno why I think this out side of the fact that I have a little sister myself and I would literally burn the world down if someone looked at her wrong despite the fact that if there were a version of The Geneva Conventions for siblings I would be brought in for Crimes Against Humanity and from what we know about Miqella from Item Descriptions and such he sounds like the type of unhinged bastard to go full on Beserk Godhand Eclipse if it meant breaking his and Malenia's curse.

Essentially I want Miquella to be the most unhinged fucker in the lands between.

Y'know the Pepe Silva Meme?

That's what I want Miquella to be like.

And I think that would be hilarious, like we meet Miquella, Malenia's brother and he's just batshit insane, showing why he's the most Fearsome Emperyan not through magic of anything else but by making someone with the Frenzied Flame look sane by comparison.

Come On Miyazaki, you gave us Mico don't fail us now!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

This has been the second edition of Cosmic's sleep deprived Ramblings About Random Lore Fuckery.

But do not worry.

There WILL be more.

You have a good intuition! Maleina IS the younger twin; in Japanese script, she uses the term towards Miquella that is supposed to address the older sibling ( x )! That's her words in Japanese:

…ああ、兄様 …ああ、兄様、兄様

The 兄様 (anisama) is the key here! 'Ani' IS a reference to the older brother, and you might be familiar with the word 'sama' already - it is very respectful reference to one of the higher status and alike.

There is also a cut dialogue from Miquella addressing Malenia ( x ), which was translated as 'my dear twin', but in reality what he says is 'my beloved sister':

愛する妹よ、受け取っておくれ

The 妹 (Imōto) means 'little sister'!

And no, no, you have a point; the best display of power comes not through physical/magical abilities, but through attitude. I mean, Mohg is supposed to be so scary, but from vibe standpoint it is all just blood and growling and edgyness... Just, overall trying so hard, and yet we mock him (when we are not busy feeling terrible for Miquella) despite him being a very strong boss.

If someone could show how a man that looks like a kid and is supposedly so wholesome and radiant can instill fear, it would without a doubt be Fromsoft! Besides, it is an axiom that no motherfucker is scarier than a "ball of sunshine" that has had enough! And yes, that would have the especially good effect if whatever triggered him to be that way had to do with harming Malenia! I found Ranni's auto-receiver record when we were battling Rennala pretty menacing and unsettling, personally; do not underestimate the wrath a person can have on behalf of their family member!

Happy Sunday! 📚

I finished Iron Flame this week. In my opinion it wasn’t AS good as I hoped after the flash of lightning Fourth Wing was to me. However, it was still very good and made me very excited for the rest of the series. It’s going to be a long wait, and my ADHD brain will possibly have forgotten everything when The Emperyan #3 hits. 🙈

I often struggle with reading unfinished series, I’m hoping joining bookstagram will help me keep track of characters and storylines. I finished Throne Of Glass last year, but only managed to get my hands on Assassin’s blade this weekend. So while I am anxiously awaiting HOFAS publication date (coincides wjth finishing my exams) with the rest of you, I’ll dive into Celeana Sardothien’s backstory.

What are you currently reading?

[palebloodcvrse]

I love malenia, but her design is a little too familiar

Lets check

>difficult boss fight

>twin brother

>up in a tree full of bullshit

>katana

>infamous for multislash cut moves

>clone summoning

>threw away their original forms in exchange for a greater power (malenias emperyan status for her rot, vergils humanity for more demonic power)

>tried to fight someone else and it didnt end well

[itis-obsessesions]

Am I the only one who thinks that the Council of Heads has some hidden Agenda? Like, the Hidden Cities government is generally kinda iffy and weird, but the fact that the Council of Heads has Secret Agents fullfill their demands, speaks of it, right? If they don't have anything to hide, they wouldn't need them-

They already have the Hidden City's Police Forces (and probs some military as well) behind them.

The Agents seem to be there purely to interfere with volatile people in high power positions, who could mess stuff up.

Like Draxum messing with Alchemy.

But at the same time, they don't seem to interfere at all? Why is Mayham just staying with April after the whole disaster with the Imperian/Emperyan (fuck the spelling, I don't know)? He's an agent. Doesn't he have better stuff to do? Did he just got demoted/fired? Or did April/the turtles become people of interest and he's surveilling them? Why would they make them people of interest after that first meeting? They couldn't possibly know they are Hamatos for example.

So,  what the fuck could their agenda please be? They seem to be both controlling and passive. Like. The fuck.

Ranni?

Okay so I like Ranni! I really do! But my GODS did the fan base erupt into so much sexual content it makes me sad a bit.

She’s a doll, she got no chest. But she is such a good character and I love her for that, I just sometimes get scared to write or share about her because the fans can be… mm… yeah…

Keeping it short XD but she is a good character and I have nothing against her, I love seeing the art of her emperyan (probably botched that spelling fight me) body!

[an-ishgardian-tale]

An entry from the Memoirs of Viviane Jienuex

"I have begun to search these tomes of mine for something that gives the locations of the hidden assets that my Mother had hinted at in her final conversation with me before her passing. At Starlight it will be two cycles that she has been gone and I have still had no success with this puzzle. I would like to find at least a summary of what and where before Clement and I start talking of the merger of Houses. I am already a nervous wreck at the sheer amount of property I own both in Gridania and Ishgard but at the same time I understand why. House Jienuex is old and old Houses come with old money as it has been passed generation to generation and that generation made their own money to add to the pool.

There are things I would like to sell off. The old family Brothels for one. I have no intention of ever opening them in my time and currently I pay taxes on them since they are in Ishgard proper. I have been puzzling on the thought of should I turn them over to the City both for historical value and more land that could be used for recovery efforts or should I sell them outright and invest the funds in something far less objectifying like fields in LaNoscea for growing. I have heard the land there is quite fertile and there are many looking for jobs in farming. It would create jobs and tradeable goods instead of creating dust and hauntings.

The bakery could benefit from wheat grown there and other grains as well, which would cut my costs having to buy them at wholesale. Paying a living wage to a solid team of workers would also be far better than paying the taxes that Ishgard imposes on those that live there no matter what their social caste is. In the coming days I will return to these thoughts then include them in the merger documents that I have slowly been preparing. I am rather thankful that I paid attention to my Mother about running businesses. That is what a Noble House is after all, a business that cannot be left with out being maintained like I left mine.

I will never regret my decision to take the five cycles I did to live in the Shroud. It help foster the woman that I am today. I learned quite a bit from living there, the people I came to trust in Bentbranch are like a family to me now and like family should be I will always come back to visit for Holidays and Namedays as well as all the other special events in life. Gridania is my second home now, but I hear my first home calling. Running away is an attractive thing especially when your life is upside down. Had I not, none of this would have come to pass.

The bakery is ready to be opened once the seating is installed. I look so forward to those doors opening and hopefully I can eventually find property in Emperyan to be closer to where we will be in Corethas. I do not mind teleporting for openings I certainly could use the practice after all these years. Yes, I am ready to go home. A place I never thought would appeal to me again. Like many other places I am called to do the Spinners bidding, I have returned here and there but these last moons the blowing snow and the chill has touch my heart kindly. With Saint's Wake right around the corner again I reach my thirty second name day at the end of this Moon. I remember a time I believed I would not make it this far, but Spinner bless me here I am.

When we return to Corethas I would like to visit Menphina's sacred stone. It is time to mend that bond so that I am once again protected by both of my patrons which restores the core principals of my youth Fate and Love. Where once this Star made me bitter I have found new hope, first in a set of mismatched eyes and then in the laughter of one who survived as I had to.

The are only two things left on my list of things to think upon. What to do with my performance career as I move forward to become a Noble Wife and what I should do with the last property in Gridania. I have thoughts that have formed and tie these two things together. There is a path I wish to pursue but I am not quite ready yet. This I shall revisit after Queens of Metal. It is my last show for the year as it always is. I pray that my Patron guide my feet along this path with the soft creak of her spinning wheel.

V.S.J

Favorite song: I have too many favorite songs but Sleep Token, Bad Omens, Bring Me The Horizon, Holier, and Noah Kahan have been my rotating groups recently. Airhead by Honey Revenge has been a good hype song that instantly changes my mood.

Favorite color: I love dark colors but shades of green and blue are my tops as well as black and dark reds and dark Oranges.

Currently watching: JJK, Bleach, Naruto shippuden (really trying to finish this time), season 4 of You and Supernatural for the 20 millionth time. Also love to rewatch Avatar, legend of Korra, and New Girl. Might start Outlander next.

Last Movie: hmm I think it was the new Little Mermaid i don't remember lol it was good but prince Eric singing gave me the ick

Spicy, sweet, or savory : all three but sweet is my top then spicy then savory

Relationship status: im single and im trying my best to enjoy this stage in my life. Being a recent grad, starting my career, while also trying to go back to school to open more doors and trying to enjoy my solitude and various hobbies and interests.

Current obsession: Sleep Token. The ACOTAR series, the Fourth Wing series (Emperyan series. I think) and the Souls Trilogy. Romance, fantasy, dark romance, books filled with smut keep me entertained.

Last thing I googled: the hair color I just dyed my hair. I dont really google interesting things lol

Crazy to me how emperyans are so power, so mighty, that they even birth without knowing (Malenia on the swamp of Aeonia) and yet their autonomy is almost NONE existential

I'm shoketh that no ever made something like this

Imagine instead of being tarnished, you are an Emperyan.

When you go to the erdtree, you don't fight Morgott, no you ask him to become your Consort, your elden lord, for when you'll be the new god and vessel for the greater will.

Or with Mogh, meeting him before he takes Miquella. Yes, he can already see it. You, his soon to be god. Even the formless mother seems to like you. You'll be perfect. You, the god of blood, and him, your Consort, Lumanry Mogh, lord of blood.

Yes, anon. Yessssss.

I want Mohg to channel his inner Mohgterial Gurl™ and redecorate Leyndell or sumn. Just not in blood. No sir.

Morgott as Elden Lord would be my personal throne. I may or may not be referring to his face.
