#the storm that's brewing

[knightforflowers]

if you can’t tell what this is about, i’ve had enough and i want out

[mmmthornton]

No hate to anyone because personal taste is obviously what it is. I just have to assume that people who hate chilshi so vehemently are actively flanderizing one or both of the characters in a way that makes me think they read a different manga than I did lol. Either (obviously) seeing Chilchuck as childish in a way he strongly doesn't want to be seen as, or seeing Senshi as too stuck in his ways or immature to go through any changes of his own during the course of the story. Like, if you can accept that the Yassified elf doppelganger isn't how he sees Marcille by the end, it should be possible to realize he's a person as much as any of the other characters and capable of changing his own thinking (which imo, he really does!). It's a feature of basically any ship to get to see how they change in their estimation of the other over the course of an adventure like Dunmesh, don't deny me that fun because you only see them as one dimensional.

now that kieran's champ look dropped, i could finally draw their mjverse designs for indigo disk. there's a 1 year timeskip between the 2 dlcs in my canon so i wanted to make them look a lil different to show that passage of time, ( carmine's not here bc i don't really see her look changing much. )

some info about what juliana and florian were up to during that 1 year gap under the cut! ⤵

JULIANA : after attaining her champion title and helping solve the team star situation, juliana's skills as a battler have become pretty well known around paldea. this new status initially ostracized her a bit from her peers, much like what nemona experienced, but she was able to show others that she was still just as approachable as she was before by tutoring some fellow students that wished to improve their battling skills. she's also realized that she really loves teaching others and is pretty damn good at it, too.

besides battling, juliana has also found a love of art thanks to hassel's art class. if you couldn't find her at the academy's battlefield, she'd most likely be working on a new piece in the art room. as a result, a lot of her clothes have speckled with paint ( like her favorite sneakers. ) seeing her passion for art and hoping to help her hone her skills, hassel took up the position as her mentor and is a great source of encouragement and support for her. juliana has also started dating penny soon after the end of post-game story.

FLORIAN : after getting back to mezagoza from his trip to kitakami, florian was a bit of an emotional wreak ( to say the least. ) he spent well over a month languishing over what happened with kieran, most of it spent moping around juliana and his shared dorm room while listening to heartbreak playlists. the rest was spent coming to the realization that his skills as a battler were still severely lacking. his last battle with kieran was an extremely close call, he only barely won with the skills he had gained during his journey through paldea. with how things were, there was no way he could fufill the duties of a pokémon professor if he couldn't effectively protect the pokémon entrusted to him, let alone himself or others he cares about. he couldn't keep resting on his laurels, he had to work towards improving himself.

so, for the past year, florian's poured himself into improving his battling skills with nemona and his sister's help. while he still isn't on their level, he's become quite the formidable battler. ogrepon, which he's given the nickname "pon-pon," has also become a staple of his team. the rest of his time is dedicated towards studying in the hopes of becoming pasio's next pokémon professor, being the most interested in mythology and terastallization. he still talks to arven frequently after he ( finally ) graduated, along with becoming friends with ortega and atticus. he even dated ortega briefly, but it was very clear that florian was still hung up on kieran so the relationship didn't last long, ( they're still good friends, though. )

when cyrano approaches the cavallari siblings and asks them to come to blueberry academy as exchange students, florian accepts the offer without hesitation. this could be his only chance to reconcile with kieran so there's no way he'd pass it up. juliana is happy to tag along since a school that focuses on battling sounds right up her alley, that and she's still peeved about not getting to go to kitakami. though, she's a little concerned for her brother and what may be waiting for him when they get there.

I feel like Edwin only ever says Charles full government name when feeling extremely sappy/fond or so mad there’s not an apt enough word

So Charles (when hearing his full name) is either like “Yippee!! I made him happy :DD!!!!” or “Never thought I’d regret Edwin being faster than me.”

[wikitpowers]

let me tell you i am not freaking ready for tlkof morgenthorn bc they’ll start of super weary and cautious of each other, bickering and all and then i just know that one night they’ll open up to each other about their traumas and dreams and from then on they’ll be so freaking soft together, laughing and teasing each other, really gaining each other’s trust and completely falling in love only for it all to go to shit in the end and my heart to break💔

PT. 5 of GhostSoapGaz, where Ghoap are always going on dates and keep bringing Gaz with them because they love him, but he doesn't know.

Gaz woke up to the biggest headache and even a bigger pain on his lower back. His head was buzzing with white-noise as he groaned loudly at the incoming headache.

He tried moving but found it impossible. With every time he'd move, a sharp pain shot up his entire body that made him stop.

'Jesus christ..'

His eyes scanned the room as he moved to sit down despite the intense pain. His mind was in a blank for a moment. The hungover mixed with the grogginess blurred his mind. And the headache didn't help one bit.

"Need a hand?" A very American accented voice said.

He lift his head up and his eyes widened at the very handsome man standing at the end of the bed with a tray in his hands. On the tray, there are two pills and a glass of water.

"Affirmitive."

Was all he replied and the other handsome man moved to the side of the bed where he's sitting at and gave him the two pills.

On cue, Gaz accepted the pills and the glass of water. He swallowed them down and mumbled a soft thanks before scooting back to rest against the headboard.

"I'm Alex. Pleasure to meet you."

Gaz looked at him for a moment. Alex was a really handsome man. His blue eyes, sharp nose, facial hair and jesus, that ashy blonde hair. Pure perfection.

"Kyle. But you can call me Gaz."

The beautiful smile on Alex's face was charming. His eyes showed nothing but sweetness and humbleness. The type that would see someone with pure love and adoration.

'What did I get myself into?'

Meanwhile, back at the base, Soap was pacing around in the living room, worried and frustrated. Yesterday, they noticed the absence of a certain sergeant. Which meant that he never came back home. Ever since Gaz had hung up on him, he was very worried but didn't want to push.

Gaz wasn't the type to actually hang up on anyone unless an emergency or absolutely necessary. He would, more importantly, never stay out. Being the elite soldiers, reeking of far greater responsibilities, he took that very seriously.

So, to find his room empty, was very worrying yet frustrating. He wished they knew where he was.

"Bloody Christ, sit your ass down, Soap!" The loud booming voice of Ghost resonated within the common room.

"Shut it, Ghost!"

Ghost only rolled his eyes and leaned back on the couch. Yes, he did find it strange about their other sergeant not coming home last night. Yes, he did worry and by a lot. Yes, he wished he knew where he went. And yes, he was dying to go out there and look for him. But right now, it was ideal. Not when Gaz clearly wasn't in a good headspace.

"I swear if he doesn't get his ass he-"

The sound of the door opening cut him off, and they both turned towards the entrance.

Ghost immediately stood up from where he was sitting and Soap only stared. There at the door, was Gaz. But not the typical quiet and very decent looking. No. Gaz had marks on his neck, his clothes was a little disordered and he was avoiding them.

"Where were you?"

Gaz tensed up and he looked the other way. His wrecked emotions came back full force. His heart began to race as Soap took step closer when he didn't answer.

"Where the bloody hell were you, Kyle?"

Gaz looked at Soap and then at Ghost before looking back at the man in front of him. His mouth opened and closed a couple of times not knowing how to even start. HIs guilt began to eat him alive even if there was absolutely no reason to.

Soap had enough of the silence and his patience had ran out. He gripped Gaz's arms tightly and stared at him with frustration.

"Kyle, where were you!?"

"None of your business!"

A very tensed silence overtook the entirety of the common room after Gaz's outburst. No one said a thing. That was until Gaz pulled his arms back aggressively to get out of Soap's strong grip and then went to his room without so much of another word or looking back. Leaving behind two very surprised men.

“We take after each other, you and I.”

[lunalycana]

Well, this is an unexpected turn of events.

[selineram3421]

Could you do headcannons of Alastor with a S/O who has weather related abilities? Like being able to summon storms and control wind?

Preferably they would also be a cat demon, but if that's too much then that's okay too.

-Indigo

Cat cat cat cat cat-oh yeah, sure.

Thrills And Chirps

Alastor X Cat Demon Reader Oneshot

Warnings? ⚠

⚠ thunderstorms, snuggles, mentions of death, cat stuff, so fluffy and cute you could suffocate from it and be happy ⚠

~

The storm outside was raging. Dark clouds covered the sky, only lit for a moment as lightning struck and the loud roar of thunder rolling in after. The winds were practically ripping roofs off of buildings.

It would be absolutely insane if anyone was out there.

Only one demon could cause such chaos.

The residents of the pride ring wondered what had angered them so to cause such a storm.

.

You were purring contently on the couch, snuggled up against your loving deer under a blanket in the living room. The fireplace lit and both of you were enjoying the sounds from the storm.

Another flash of lightning and Alastor's shadow wrote another tally mark on the chalkboard hung on the wall.

"Looks like you got another darling.", the man in red said not looking up from his book.

"Mhm~", you hummed and continued purring.

[As you can see, you aren't angry.]

It was really out of curiosity and a bit of entertainment. Your radio man wanted to know how many demons you could kill without lifting a finger. You agreed and asked for him to use his shadows to monitor the deaths caused by your storm.

With everything planned out, you sat back and decided to demand for attention.

And now you were lying on the couch, snuggled up on top of him.

He held the book in one hand as the other was busy with lightly scratching the back of your feline ears.

"Prrrrrrr~", a pleased rumble came from you as your purring increased in volume, tail swaying occasionally.

Alastor noticed that the hands resting on his chest started to move. Tearing his eyes away from his book and looking down, he saw that you were "making biscuits."

His eyes lit up and he tossed the book aside, no longer interested in the story and proceeded to pet you, this time with both hands.

Your purring increased tenfold, but you had to hold back from letting your claws out too much, not wanting to mess up your love's clothes.

"Hm~hmm-hmmmm~", Alastor hummed, static lacing his voice as he continued lightly scratching your scalp and behind your ears.

The purrs coming from you changed slightly when the static came on. It was a little deeper, and the vibrations were more noticeable.

For you, Alastor's static was another form of purring or growling. Depending on the volume, which was a comfortable low hum: it meant he was also content.

You let out a thrill between purring.

The Radio Demon's ears perk up at that, his smile widening.

All is forgotten about the death tolls and he focused on getting you to make that sound again, static crackling slightly.

"Prrrrrrrrrr-row! Prrrrrrrrrrrrr~"

It happens again and he beams with full on excitement.

Hearing the static crackle, you rubbed your head against his hands and let out another noise, a chirp.

"Mrrp!"

If the man wasn't already a cat person, you would have been enough to convert him into one.

You opened your eyes slightly and looked up at him, giving slow blinks.

Like any cat, you were hard to read, especially with a straight face. Thankfully he's kept tabs on the way you've reacted and one thing he learned from when he fed a cat when he was alive.

Slow blinks are a sign of trust and love.

His heart soars, but he keeps calm and does the action back, blinking slowly and bumping his forehead against yours.

"Prrrrrrrrrr~"

.

You could clearly kill a multiple amount of demons without needing to lift any fingers. Alastor would make sure you wouldn't have to anyway.

~

Snuggles and brain go purrrrrrrrrrrr~

I'll kick myself out now. 🚶..🏠

~Seline, the person.

ML for Alastor🎙

*Triage stood intront of the same temple him and Zeus met the last time, holding a small bag in his hand that contained a few paprika bottles*

I wonder why he needs paprika...

*Not having any door to knock, cause typical huge temple thing, Triage eventually had to use his voice to make anyone notice his presence*

Zeus? Are you home? I'm here, me and the item you challenged me to find!

-Triage🩹

*Zeus ran down the steps of Mount Olympus, stopping before Triage.*

Hello, Triage. Thank you for purchasing the paprika.

*He took the paprika out of Triages hand.*

I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes.
