#they looked more like an espinas

[otiksimr]

How'd that happen?

[married-to-google-translater]

¿Entonces quiere más solicitudes de Malleus? Muy bien :D ¿Puedo solicitar un Malleus siendo rey viudo (La lectora femenina falleció durante el parto de la amada hija de ambos) y que cuando su hija cumple cierta edad es percionado para escogerle un prometido a la princesa del Valle de las espinas? por favor y gracias uwu

Request: So you want more requests from Malleus? Very good :D Can I request a Malleus as a widowed king (The female reader died during the birth of their beloved daughter) and when his daughter reaches a certain age he is allowed to choose a fiancé for the princess of the Valley of Thorns? please and thank you uwu

Malleus Draconia

You would be Malleus the love of life.

One and only.

So losing you would be a real blow.

Malleus wouldn't want to believe it.

He certainly wouldn't want anyone else by his side.

But in the midst of all the sadness, Malleus would be happy with the child.

About your child.

Which, however, survived.

It would really help him cope.

Even if Lilia has to take care of the child for the first months.

Because Malleus could do nothing but mourn.

And blames himself.

But it would make it easier over time.

Malleus would be an overprotective father.

Much more overprotective if the child looked like you.

In his opinion, no suitor would be good enough for your daughter.

Even if Malleus really understands the meaning of "free love".

Lilia sometimes jokingly said that if Malleus didn't let his daughter marry whomever she wanted, you would come back to haunt him.

Malleus would know that it would work like this.

Because he actually tried it

After this, Malleus would be surprisingly favorable in that your daughter would be allowed to choose anyone as her spouse.

Amor de siempre 🕷️

amor de siempre by cuco but it's a little love story from Miguel's pov

w/c: 1.6K

pairing: miguel o’hara x f!reader

tags: fluff fluff fluff

notes: I think these might’ve been my first pieces of fluff LMAO - but they’re so cute and heartwarming idk

part one

Cuando veo esos ojos, ahí es donde quiero vivir

Si me besan eso labios, ay, así quiero morir

(When I see those eyes, that's where I want to live

If those lips kiss me, that's how I want to die)

Every time Miguel looked into your eyes he felt like home, he hadn't felt greater happiness than when you first begun to open up to him and he felt himself falling in love with you, very quickly.

He was so infatuated by you when you two met and now he was just obsessed. He loved everything about you and was a lovesick puppy, still chasing after you and always snatching kisses from you because it was all he wanted to do.

Mi canción de amor ahorita, cuando me dices te amo

Quiero ver esa sonrisa en mi cama al amanecer

(My love song now, when you tell me 'I love you'

I want to see that smile, in my bed at dawn)

The first time he told you he loved, you immediately repeated it and it made his heart jump. He was so giddy inside and outside, not able to contain his excitement and happiness he had picked you up and twirled you around. If he could he'd choose to hear those words escaping your lips for the rest of his life.

Although he loved hearing how much you loved him there was absolutely nothing he loved more than seeing the way you smile, especially the ones after waking up together. The shy smiles, the happy ones, the teasing ones. He could never get tired of them. The way your eyes would almost be hidden because of how wide you'd smile. You were so perfect.

Siempre en mi sueños vi una luz tan, tan bonita

Cantando pensamientos libres, siempre fue mi favorita

(Always in my dreams I saw a light so beautiful

Singing free thoughts was always my favorite)

Always thinking of you, even before he officially asked you to be his girlfriend. He couldn't help the attraction he had towards you and how you had him wrapped around your finger so quickly. He was whipped.

Ay, cómo me enamoré tan pesadamente

Tenía mil kilos rompiendo espina, pero no importa si estás presente

(Oh, how I fell in love so deeply

I had a thousand kilos breaking my spine

But it doesn't matter if you're present)

He didn't imagine he'd fall in love so fast, he felt he was in love with you after the first month being together. He then told you he loved you a month after that, but in his mind he already knew. His life got so much better since you were in it.

Unos cambios tomaron lugar en mi vida

Amorcito sonriente, entraste sin advertirme

(Some changes took place in my life

Smiling sweetheart you came in without warning me)

You had completely changed his life, he's never chased a woman before, usually always having women eat out of the palm of his hand or instantly falling in love with him. But with you, he loved the thrill of chasing after you, after all he did end up conquering your heart.

He'd always tell you he felt like he needed a warning from you but you'd simply reminded him he was the one constantly wanting your attention and following you like a puppy which would just make him scoff claiming he wasn't a puppy.

Pero no importa ya, tenemos nuevas historias que contar

Amanecimos bien contentos, ahora vamos a dormirnos sin dudar

(But it doesn't matter anymore, we have new stories to tell

We woke up very happy and now let's go to sleep without hesitation)

He always tell you how happy he is when reminiscing on your love story, he says it'd be a great story to tell your children as if you both aren't in your early twenties.

You ended up getting convinced by him to move in with him after six months of dating, he claims because it's a faster drive from his place to work than where you were living but it's really because he can't stand not being around you. He admires being able to sleep and wake up with you in his arms, looking oh so beautiful.

Cuando veo esos ojos, ahí es donde quiero vivir

Si me besan eso labios, ay, así quiero morir

(When I see those eyes, that's where I want to live

If those lips kiss me, that's how I want to die)

He'd usually wake up before you, he never moved and tried to keep his breathing steady to not wake you. Instead he'd admire every feature on your face until you woke up.

He looked down at your pretty lips and having the urge to kiss you but fighting against it knowing he'd feel bad if he woke you up, especially knowing you'd wake up grumpy. But then your eyes fluttered open, looking right at him and he felt his heart melt.

Mi canción de amor ahorita, cuando me dices te amo

Quiero ver esa sonrisa en mi cama al amanecer

(My love song now, when you tell me 'I love you'

I want to see that smile, in my bed at dawn)

He never grew tired of your voice, whether you were telling him how much you adored him or how annoyed you were at him for not waking you up early for a meeting then having the audacity to claim it was your day off.

Miguel knew that at the end of the day you'd be looking at him with love in your eyes and give him a small pout for acting like a grouch then tell him you love him before he wraps his arms around you not giving a care in the world just being so enamored with you.

Profundo como el mar, es el hoyo de mi corazón

En tus manos está llenarme con pura alegría

(Deep like the sea is the hole of my heart

In your hands it fills me with pure joy)

You were the main thing keeping him sane and happy, well really the only reason he was so happy. You never saw him without a smile on his face but given he always had one when you were in the room.

Yo jamás iba pensar que mi existencia podría traer más

Yo nunca vi lo bueno de mi vida hasta que me enseñastes a volar

(I would never think that my existence could bring more

I never saw the good of my life until you taught me to fly)

He was somewhat broken when you met him, unbeknownst to you, he didn't want you to know but it didn't matter because you changed his perspective on things, including love.

Siempre veía a los contentos y más que nada a los enamorados

Jamás pensé que un día me harías uno de ellos

(Always I saw the happy couples and more than anything the enamoured

I never thought that one day you'd make me one of them)

He'd always see happy couples around the city, at uni, hell even at work. He didn't think dating was gonna be his thing and only relied on hookups for the affection he thought he craved. But deep down he knew he wanted more than just intimacy, when he saw you walk in on your first day of work, he did not imagine such a pretty person with a kind smile would change him so much.

Y ahora estamos aquí, tú y yo en la luna

Espero que todos algún día tengan mi fortuna

(And now we're here you and I on the moon

I hope that everyone someday has my fortune)

He felt at the top of the world when he was with you, his heart always beating, the butterflies in his stomach never leaving. He felt very fortunate that he found you, even more that you rejected him at first otherwise he wouldn't have fallen head over heels for you. When talking to single friends or coworkers he always wishes them the best and tells them they can find love anywhere, and that patience is a virtue.

Cuando veo esos ojos, ahí es donde quiero vivir

Si me besan eso labios, ay, así quiero morir

(When I see those eyes, that's where I want to live

If those lips kiss me, that's how I want to die)

It was now two years since he asked you to be his girlfriend, now celebrating your anniversary and Valentine's Day for the second year in a row. He'd memorized every detail of your face like all the little moles you had on different corners, or the way your eyes would sparkle when he'd tell you how much you meant to him.

He even loved the way you'd look at him when you were mad, he contained himself from saying you look cute, not wanting to anger you more because he knew better. But the thought never left his head, he just loved you so much.

Mi canción de amor ahorita, cuando me dices te amo

Quiero ver esa sonrisa en mi cama al amanecer

(My love song now, when you tell me 'I love you'

I want to see that smile, in my bed at dawn)

"Happy anniversary amada." He whispers in your ear as you stretched and slid your head against his chest before leaning up to kiss him. (Beloved)

"Happy anniversary amor de mi vida, te amo tantísimo." You murmured before pulling away, letting out a yawn. (love of my life, I love you so much)

He grinned so wide, you couldn't help but lift a hand up to pinch his cheek, instantly feeling it grow warm under your touch. He melted into your fingertips and you just sighed happily, looking deeply into his eyes.

Never Safe - One Shot

Masterlist

Summary: When Connie and Steve organise a day out with you and Javier to hopefully repair the fractured relationship you two have, things don’t go as planned.

Relationship: Javier Peña x Reader, Steve Murphy x Connie Murphy

Warnings: Like AO3, I choose not to list any warnings.

When Steve had suggested that you all spend your very rare day off together at Lake Guatavit, you’d initially been sceptical. Now you’d be lying if you said that you didn’t want to visit the place, you’d made a bucket list of things to do in Colombia when you’d learned you were going to be stationed there.

No the reason you’d been sceptical was because of Javier Peña.

The Bogota Batchelor.

The most desired man in the Embassy.

And you had bagged him on your second day.

You had expected him to brush you off after that. After all, it had been two people scratching an itch. At least that's what it had been for you. But then he went and developed feelings for you and any chance of a working relationship fell to pieces.

Fast forward to today, five months on and things were strained. He had resorted to the cold shoulder after your numerous rejections, his ego too bruised to be ‘just friends’ with you and you tolerated it. You were there to do a job after all. Yet you’d also be lying if you said that you didn’t have any feelings at all for the man. You just had no intention of acting on them.

The drive to Lake Guatavita was gruelling. Steve and Connie desperately trying to find anything to talk about but after the first hour, you decided sleeping was the best course of action.

Steve and Javi then started to talk quietly to each other in the front and when the subject of your relationship cropped up, you couldn’t help but listen in.

“When are you and Espina going to sort your shit out?” Steve asked and Javier sighed “I know you fucked her, is that why you two hate each other? You pump and dump her?”

“Was the other way around.” Javier confessed lowly, his head rolling to look at the passing trees through the window “She was different Steve. She got under my skin and I laid myself bare for her and she rejected me.” You winced at his statement, your guilt starting to bubble a little under the surface.

“So what?” Steve snorted “You get your feelings hurt and you decide that being pissed off all the time is the best way to handle that?”

“I don’t wanna get into this Murphy.” He sighed and Steve just waved him off, no point in pushing.

They moved on to more trivial subjects after that. Mainly about the case and you found it easy to slip off to sleep then. Before you knew it the car came to a halt and everyone started to get themselves ready for the small hike from the car park to the lake. Connie pulled the picnic she’d made from the boot of the car and you started to ask her about what she’d decided to put in there. Anything to try and distract yourself from the guilt you had brewing inside of you.

When you reached the top of the path, the view of the lake was stunning. It was like a rich jade that glittered in the bright sunshine, nestled in the middle of a lush forest. It brought a smile to your face that Javier couldn’t help but find himself mesmerized by and he allowed himself to admire you for a moment before he was trekking down the path towards the water.

You’d picked a good day to visit. The temperature was just right and there wasn’t another soul to be seen. When paying entry, the desk clerk had seemed relieved to see you all and you wondered if she’d perhaps expected a slow day. Tourism had taken a bit of a nose dive in recent years.

A few hours later you had found a nice spot to sit and enjoy the picnic that Connie had brought, the guys sipping on their slightly warm beers as you enjoyed some freshly made lemonade with her.

“So, glad we came?” Steve asked as he picked up a few more chips and threw them in his mouth.

“Definitely.” You replied almost breathlessly “I have been meaning to come and visit since we arrived but it seems that we never have time to visit anywhere,” You finished with a chuckle.

“I’d happily suggest a few other places you could visit Espina.” Javier piped up, his tone soft which made your guilt start to simmer once again “I had a chance to visit a few places when I first arrived.” He finished with a shrug, eyes then darting down to the bottle in his hands.

“I’d like that Javi.” You replied sweetly and his head shot up in surprise at your reply “Thanks.”

“No problem.” He replied, a little stunned.

There was a reason you’d been named Espina. You’d developed a reputation for having a prickly personality as Steve had worded it. Javier had continuously referred to you as the thorn in his side and after your first operation with Carillo, he’d gifted you the nickname.

And you kinda liked it.

“So I was thinking we could trek for a bit longer, walk all this food off and then we can head back?” Connie piped up, pulling all eyes to her.

“Yeah… Yeah uh… That sounds good.” You replied distractedly as you shook your head of the static that had taken up residence and started to help pack everything away again.

Once everything was packed, you started up your trek again. Javier walked ahead of Steve and you trailed behind a little with Connie, talking to her about her work at the Communa and yours at the embassy. When the terrain started to get a little difficult the four of your stopped, admiring your surroundings as you sipped at your waters.

“Probably best to start heading back now.” Suggested Steve and everyone agreed, you and Connie then took the lead as you turned around and started to trek back up the hill.

“Ahh.” Expelled Javier as he felt a nip at his ankle.

“You okay man?” Steve asked, looking over his shoulder at his partner.

“Yeah,” Javier replied, shaking his head a moment before following everyone else.

The walk then passed into a comfortable silence as everyone focused on getting back up the hill and to the car. When you reached the peak, you turned to admire the view again a moment, smiling at Steve as he passed you before your eyes drifted to Javier who was trailing quite a bit behind. He looked exhausted and you smirked at the sight as he traipsed up the last few steps.

“Think someone needs to quit smoking.” You teased once he was in earshot, grinning at him as he came to a stop just a few feet in front of you.

Your smile dropped when he did.

It seemed to happen in slow motion. One moment he was standing there, then next he was on the ground, gasping like a fish out of water. You were at his side in the blink of an eye.

“Javi?” You said panicked as you noted his skin was pale and his whole body seemed to be wracked with chills “CONNIE.” You screamed as loudly as you could “Stay awake Javi, stay with me now…. Come on.” You pleaded when his eyes started to droop and then your head shot up when you heard thumping footsteps on the earth beside you.

“What happened?” She asked as she dropped to your side and you shook your head, tears starting to form as you looked back at Pena.

“He just collapsed.” You managed to choke out and Connie nodded as she started to check Javier over.

“Javi… Javi, can you hear me?” She asked, smiling when he weakly nodded at her “Good, that's really good Javi. Now I need you to tell me what happened?” She asked, sighing when the agent didn’t answer her.

Feeling his pulse, she found it pounding rapidly beneath her fingertips. Then her brain went into medical mode.

Rapid pulse… Chills… Difficulty breathing…

Her eyes shot open as the dots started to connect.

“Check his ankles.” She ordered and you gave her a bemused look.

“What?”

“Just do it.” She said sternly and you nodded, shifting so you could take a look and lifting his pant leg, you found something “Connie…”

Her eyes shot up to what you were showing her and then to Steve who’d been standing silently, watching in shock at what was unfurling before him.

“What?” He asked, finally finding the strength to speak “What is it?”

“Snakebite.” Connie replied grimly and you sobbed “We need to get him to a hospital.”

“Don’t we need to find the snake?” You asked and Connie just shook her head “We don’t know where or when he was bitten… Snakes probably long gone.”

“When we turned back.” Steve said out of the blue, grabbing your’s and Connie’s attention.

“What was that Steve?” His wife asked.

“When we turned around to walk back. He said ow and I asked if he was okay. That must have been when it bit him.” He elaborated and you sobbed.

“That was over an hour ago.” You choked; your attention was grabbed by Javier as he started to gasp in your arms.

“There’s no time to go look. We need to get him to the car and to a hospital ASAP.” Connie ordered and Steve sprang into action, lifting his partner into his arms and practically sprinting back in the direction of the truck.

As soon as you made it back, it was a blur of Connie clambering into the back and helping Steve lay Javier down over the back seat of his truck. You then leapt into the passenger seat as Steve took up position in the drivers, the vehicle screaming to life and kicking up dust in its wake as Murphy screamed out of the park and towards the main road. You turned your head to see Connie stroking Javier’s hair affectionately as she monitored his strained breathing. If it were possible, Javi looked every worse than he had when he collapsed. His lips had started to turn blue, and his lids drooped severely.

“We’re going to get you to help Javier.” Said Connie softly as she cupped his cheek in the hope to ground him “You just need to keep breathing, okay?”

You watched him closely, noting the tiniest little nod of affirmation from the agent as he visibly leaned into Connie’s touch. You couldn’t believe this was happening. What was supposed to be a day to mend fences and spend time with the people you cared most about had turned into utter chaos.

“Javier… Javier, you need to breathe Hunny.” Said Connie, pulling you from your thoughts and your eyes snapped to the agent who was now struggling to pull in any air whatsoever.

Steve was driving like a demon, but you knew you still had a while till you reached the hospital, Javier was running out of time and quickly. Your eyes locked with his and you gave him a soft smile, praying that it would give him any sort of comfort and when he weakly held out his hand to you, you took it without question. He seemed to relax a little then, pulling in a few weak breaths and so, despite how uncomfortable the position was, if you could help Javier by holding his hand, that’s what you were going to do.

The drive seemed to stretch on forever. Your arm had come to sleep some time ago and your back was starting to ache from the twisted position you were seated in but that was nothing in comparison to the state that Javier was in.

“We’re ten minutes out.” Steve announced when the familiar streets of Bogota filled his vision and you smiled.

“Hear that Javi?” You said sweetly as you turned your head to look at him again “We’re almost there.”

The corner of his lips seemed to twitch slightly as if attempting to smile but then his eyes slipped shut and his hand left your grasp.

“Javi?” You questioned as Connie positioned her ear over his mouth “Javi?” You called again, sobbing when Connie then turned her head and started to blow rescue breaths into his mouth.

“What’s happening?” Steve questioned, noting you shaking your head and sobbing as you repeated ‘no’ over and over again like a prayer.

“He’s stopped breathing,” Connie announced as she started compressions, somehow holding firm when the car jolted as it sped up.

You watched hopelessly as Connie performed CPR on your partner, desperately trying to keep him alive those last few minutes until they arrived at the hospital. Then the car came to an abrupt stop and Steve was out, screaming for help as he rounded the car to get to his partner.

Then everything was a flurry of activity.

You followed them as they wheeled him in, Steve flashing his badge at anyone that tried to force them out.

“What happened?” Ask the doctor and you breathed a sigh of relief that he spoke English.

“He’s been bitten by a snake.” Connie answered, “We don’t know what though.” She finished and the doctor nodded.

Alarms blaring grabbed their attention and soon the three of you were being pushed to one side and they started to work. In what seemed like the drop of a pin, he was intubated, and a nurse was pumping air into his struggling lungs whilst another prepared a machine that made your stomach turn. They shocked him once, air was pumped, and the alarm continued to ring out that dreaded single tone. He was shocked a second time and still nothing.

“Javi, please.” You squeaked, holding onto Steve so tightly that you were sure you’d break his arm.

Then, he was shocked a third time and the tone changed its tune. Everyone breathed a consecutive sigh of relief before they jumped into action. He was whisked away again and this time you were able to follow.

“We need to figure out what bit him.” The doctor stated to Connie, the only one still keeping her cool “We will update you as soon as we can.” With that, he left and you were escorted to a waiting area, the three of you huddling together in preparation for the long wait you had ahead of you.

“I used him and treated him horribly.” You piped up after some time, your hands shaking as you spoke.

“What’s that sweetheart?” Connie asked as she looked up at you.

“Javi and I, we uh… Well a few days after I arrived, we hooked up.” You confessed, noting Connie’s surprised expression “He wanted more and I kept shutting him down. I guess part of me found it hard to believe that Javier Pena, the notorious lady’s man, would want to go steady with me.” You chuckled sadly as you looked down at your hands “I kept shutting him down in such awful ways, hoping he’d get put off but I just ended up hurting him… And now he could die, never knowing how I actually feel about him.” You sobbed as your guilt gripped your heart like a vice.

“And how do you actually feel about him?” Steve asked, blue eyes boring into you.

“I’m crazy about him.” You confessed “He lives rent-free inside my head. I… Well, I suppressed these feelings for so long that I guess I managed to fool myself into thinking that I could just ignore them but seeing him like that, and knowing now that I might never see him again… Well turns out I was an idiot.”

“Javi’s strong, he’s going to pull through this.” She said softly, taking your hand and giving it a squeeze.

“He’s still going to hate me at the end of it.” You sobbed, your head dropping to Connie’s shoulder.

“I don’t think he hates you.” Steve piped up, remembering the tortured expression on his friend's face when they spoke earlier “Just make sure that if he comes through this, you make sure you mend things… Life’s too short.”

…

It was several more hours before you received the news. You were sitting staring at a medical poster, trying your hardest to work out what it said, when the doctor appeared in front of you looking as tired as you all felt.

“How is he?” Steve asked, his voice a little shaky.

“He’s stable.” The doctor confirmed, “It was touch and go there for a moment.” He confessed “The venom hit him hard, but he is responding well to treatment. As long as there are no complications, I think he will be okay.” He finished and sobbed, letting out the breath you hadn’t realised you’d been holding.

“When can we see him?” You asked, your voice so quiet that the doctor almost missed it.

“Now is fine, I will get a nurse to show you to his room.” He finished.

“Thanks, doc.” Steve said as he shook the man's hand “For everything.”

“Just doing my job.” He replied with a shrug before giving you all a small nod and leaving the room.

Sure enough, a short while later, a nurse fetched you all and led you to a small, plainly decorated room with Javier laying in a bed centred along the far wall. He looked a lot better than he had when you’d last seen him. The colour in his skin had started to return and his eye no longer dropped the way they had before. He gave you all a weak smile as you entered, watching you closely as you perched yourself on the edge of his bed.

“How are you feeling brother?” Steve asked as he came to a stop on the other side of the bed, placing a friendly hand on Javier’s shoulder.

“Like I almost died.” The agent joked, eyes flitting to you again before returning to the Murphy’s.

“I owe you my life.” He said, his brows knitting together and his bottom lip wobbling “If you guys hadn’t-“

“Let’s not think about that now.” You interrupted, taking his hand and stroking your thumb over his knuckles “You’re okay and that’s all that matters.”

Javier nodded as his gaze locked with yours, his expression softening at the sweet smile filling your features. Connie's coughing pulled your attention away from each other and your heart raced as you both looked at her.

“We’re going to go find some coffee, you want some?”

“Please.” You replied in unison, and she smiled before motioning for her husband to follow her.

Leaving the two of you in tense silence.

It remained that way a while before you both couldn’t take it a moment longer.

“I’m sorry.” You both said in unison, then both sporting a similarly confused expression.

“Why are you sorry Javi?” You asked softly and he sighed.

“For trying to push my feelings on you then acting like a child about not getting my way.” He replied, “You don’t feel the same and I respect that.” He paused a moment as he let his head fall back onto the pillow then roll to look at you “I would like us to start over… If we can.”

“Javi I…” You trailed off a moment as you fought to find the words to express how you feel. Now was your moment and you weren’t going to waste it “I do feel the same.”

“What?” Javier whispered, his brow drawing together as he awaited your reply.

“I uh… I do feel the same way about you, Javier… I’m sorry it took you almost dying for me to admit that I can’t keep suppressing these feelings I have.” You sob “You own me Javier and I can’t get you out of my head so… I want to start over too.” You agreed, a small smile spreading across your face “How about we start with dinner?”

“Like a date?” Javier asked, his voice wobbling as tears started to pool.

“Yeah, Javier… Like a date.” You chuckled “What’ya say?”

“I say…” He trailed off a moment his expression turning stony and making your stomach twist a little “I’ll think about it.” He finished, his face splitting into a grin as he winked at you.

“Asshole.” You grumbled as you playfully punched his arm.

“Yeah but you love me.” He teased as he smiled at you sweetly.

Day 4 – Buddies

Zet – Cry is Zet’s trusty partner since forever and oh boy has this poor cat been through a lot. Cry is a bit of a stickler for the rules and tries to keep situations under control, which is hard when his huntress keeps running headfirst into danger and (accidentally) insulting authority. Still, despite all the migraines he’d gladly lay his life down for his huntress. Way later, on a long journey from the mainland back to the New World, Zet stumbles onto Kamura and meets the veteran Palamute Rev. He’s a jaded old dog whose hunter had died long ago and despite all his skills had refused to be taken in by anyone. Somehow, he and Zet resonated, and despite his better judgment, Rev joined Zet and Cry for their adventure.

Mei – I’d say her buddy is Navirou, I guess? While they do butt heads sometimes, cos Navirou is very overdramatic and Mei just wants to avoid conflict, she really grew close to the weird Felyne. He can be kind of narcissistic, but Mei knows he cares a lot about her and even through danger, he never left her side. He’s also one of the only few individuals that didn’t have expectations of her since Navirou didn’t know her grandfather, so Mei found she’d often cling to Navirou’s point of view.

Chidori – Nyaba and Shibe have been with her since she was a kid, but she hadn’t seen the two for years when she was training at the Guild. But ever since she’s returned to Kamura, the two haven’t left her side. Nyaba is a very calculating Felyne and often gets called a Melynx cos she likes being a trickster. Best support you could ask for though. Shibe is a very chill Palamute since he is a very different breed from most of the dogs Iori takes care of. Not to say he’s useless in a fight. He isn’t the fastest Palamute, but he has insane endurance, like his master, and knows how to hit hard.

Day 5 – Monsters

Zet – Zet doesn’t really have a favourite monster, but she does prefer those that go “head first, thoughts later” as these monsters are very predictable and comparably easy to deal with. As for association, Zet would love to not have a link to this monster, but she sadly has strong ties to Fatalis. She had to face this monster before and almost lost her life in the fight, it was a miracle she managed to survive. After her recovery she had been sent to the New World as the Guild found her too useless (and too dangerous) to keep around, but in the end, she was forced to face the beast once again, but this time hopefully for good. I’d be amiss not to mention Xeno’jiva though, cos, ya know, Sapphire Star and all. I do personally link it and Zet together, even more so if we go with the route that Safi’jiva is the same dragon. I do love a good rivalry between hunter and monster. Also, also, if Zet had a monster-sona, it would be Velkhana.

Mei – Oh, Mei has a fondness for all monsters, really. She loves all her monsties equally, but some of her children just need/want more attention so these are kinda extra special. Of course, you have her lil baby boy Ratha, the monster fate tied to her, and Mei would not give him away for anything. Then she got her problem child Asparagus, a young and overactive Astalos. He’s like a bug dragon puppy that’s just teething, so he gnaws on everything and anyone, but Mei just finds it so adorable she would let him chew on her arm forever. Last but not least are her calm, broody ones, Apple the Anjanath and Legume the Legiana. These two are rather mild mannered but both very cuddly and affectionate. Since they’re the level-headed ones, they, along with Ratha, usually keep the rowdy bunch in check.

Chidori – As Mei is sunshine incarnate, so is Chidori Gargwa incarnate. I took a lot of inspiration from Gargwas when designing her, and her nervous and flighty demeanour also really reminded me of them. As for favourite, she likes the more chill and non-threatening monsters, at least the ones that don’t look threatening. Monsters like Tetranadon, Pukei-Pukei and strangely even Espinas (when it is asleep).

local espinas fan using colors live for the nintendo switch yahoo (with a timelapse under the read more :o??)

I based this on that particular attack that gets my brain going NYOOOOM where it jumps back and sprays fire that slams you with all 3 of poison/burn/paralysis at once. It's so cool looking. I don't think I captured it quite how I wanted to, but still very fun and I can always try again

I love that colors always records timelapses for you!

(with how stupid long I spent just leisurely colouring in, and everything happening at the same speed, stuff like the fire and background - which i spent very little time on - appears near instantly.

This is partly a problem with my process, and no transparency lock hurt a lot, but I think I know how I could better use the tools that are available to me next time.)

And finally, here's where it is on the colors gallery :]

[sagesilentfire]

I FINISHED A SKETCHBOOK! Every page is drawn upon. It only took me... eight years. Wow. I only started working on it in earnest about six months ago, though, so... yeah. 

TO CELEBRATE: I want to take one of these sketches and develop it into a full rendered digital painting. I will make a fun little quiz and we'll narrow it down to one drawing. Quiz and logistics coming later, but will be posted here.

A lot of this is me figuring out designs for characters I haven't even written about yet, so look out for that. I'll elaborate one every sketch if you're interested, so keep reading if you want to know who's who. The sketches are generally in reverse chronological order from top to bottom.

1. Alice, a new character in Star and Marcie and the Forces of Evil, my latest project. She's fighting. She's a fighter. She's a love interest, but I hope I make her interesting on her own.

2. Cinder, wearing a shirt Kowari and Kultarr got for her. He will never take it off.

3. Various faces for Iako, a character in my next project that I'm 90% sure on the design for. She lives in a world of kitsunes who accidentally got addicted to gaining their nine tails through murder. Also magic powers are cursed. Iako wants to make magic better, so she goes on a trip to a mysterious island that holds the key to ending the curses... and their lives. Also it's based on the original premise of Lightlark. Hehe. Prologue can be found here. It's part 2.

4. lorge Sílthéy and small derg. 

5. Practicing SilkWings and playing around with dragon faces, plus their defining attributes.

6. ANCIENT Sílthéy expression practice. This is years before the eye redesign, but you can still get the essence of her character and how she's born out of my religious trauma.

7. ANCIENT Sílthéy expression practice cont.

8. SilkWing practice with face shapes.

9. Alice fullbody. My second drawing of her, getting her design down.

10. a. Evelyn, the protag of a story I'd like to tell someday. I can't say much more than that, except that it's a tragedy of epic proportions. b. Human Sílthéy

11. Alice and Shinjai. Shinjai is a main character in SAMATFOE, and she and Alice have an almost-thing going. 

12. Iako and a still unnamed... side character? They're studying the book Iako gets in the prologue.

13. This is [NAME REDACTED]. They're from a universe inspired by Star Wars, but if it was animated and also deeply weird. [NAME REDACTED] is [TOP SECRET INFORMATION]

14. First drawing of Alice. Figuring out her cheekmarks, and what I wanted to keep in her show design (she's based on a one-off background character).

15. More Iako drawings. Left out her hair in a, can't remember if it was intentional or not.

16. A dragon from a Wings of Fire inspired sci-fi world.

17. RPG species. They're aliens who are eusocial, and females are split into four "genders"/roles in society. This gender is soldier, distinguished by their massive claws and size. Their job is everything that requires strength.

18. An early Tethalaos, and also an entirely plausible form for them to take.

19. Above mentioned RPG species. This gender is gatherer, distinguished by their small body and delicate hands. 

20. Another dragon from above mentioned Wings of Fire inspired sci-fi.

21, 23-26. More sketches of [NAME REDACTED]. As you might guess, I quite like them. I just think they're neat, and I wanted to get their design down solidly.

22. Wasp friend :D

27. Shinjai's new crown, as seen in the latest chapter of SAMATFOE.

28. Funny Christmas Carol-inspired AU of SAMATFOE that I drew after being bludgeoned over the head with Christmas music for hours in a holiday sale I was working at.

29. Sílthéy being big mad.

30. RainWing. Not sure who this is.

31. Toffee's Mewberty wings.

32. More Evelyn.

33. LunarWings, but in my sci-fi world.

34. Yet another species in my sci-fi world.

35. Star and Marcie from SAMATFOE

36. Espina, a character from an urban-fantasy boarding school story about being bonded to animals people often find disgusting and repulsive. Espina controls wasps.

37. All the they/them nonbinary characters in SAMATFOE at the time of this drawing. From left to right: Nova, Toffee, Necahua, Dr. Edevane, Mayhem and Miette Maizley, Higgs, and of course, Tethalaos. Drawn at a nonbinary people meetup.

38. Sílthéy again

39. The oldest drawing in the book, Darkstalker from before we even knew what he looked like. An old doodle, but it proves how dedicated I was to Darkstalker being a good guy back in the day.

40. A design for an old idea I had of a hollow mountain filled with outcasts from society. Might revisit it, there's enough there to make at least a novella.

41. Toffee fashion sketches.

42. An old drawing of Sílthéy in her Wings of Fire dragon form, a hybrid named Liminal (nicknamed Lin). I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, honestly.

43. Sílthéy even BIGGER mad

44. More from the hollow mountain. The outcasts are protected by these guys, and in exchange they're cleaned and fed.

[booksandmate]

Songs in Spanish (since it’s now canon that they know every language in the world) that I think Crowley would listen to while blackout drunk after the divorce.

Including my fav bits and their translation to convince you to go listen to them.

Crimen - Gustavo Cerati

La espera me agotó No sé nada de vos Dejaste tanto en mí En llamas me acosté Y en un lento degradé Supe que te perdí ¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer? Si no olvido, moriré

The wait tired me. I don't know anything about you. You left so much in me. In flames I lay down. And in a slow degradation. I knew I lost you. What else can I do? If I don't forget, I'll die.

Cosas De La Vida - Eros Ramazotti

Son humanas situaciones Los momentos de los dos La distancia, las pasiones Encontrar una razón Hoy Como siempre Estoy pensando en ti Como si nuestro tiempo no hubiera pasado ya Dime, dónde estamos Qué podrá pasar Corazones flechados, pero De cada cual Esa es la barrera Que hay que derribar

They are human situations. The moments of the two. The distance, the passions. Finding a reason. Today. As always. I'm thinking of you. As if our time hasn't already passed. Tell me, where are we. What could happen. Hearts in love. But of each one. That's the barrier. That must be broken down.

Prófugos - Soda Stereo

Somos cómplices los dos Al menos sé que huyo porque amo Necesito distensión Estar así despierto Es un delirio de condenados No seas tan cruel No busques más pretextos No seas tan cruel Siempre seremos Siempre seremos prófugos los dos No tenemos donde ir Somos como un área devastada Carreteras sin sentido Religiones sin motivo Como podremos sobrevivir

We are both accomplices. At least I know I'm running away because I love. I need relaxation. To be awake like this. It's a delirium of the damned. Don't be so cruel. Don't look for more excuses. Don't be so cruel. We will always be. We'll both always be fugitives. We have nowhere to go. We're like a devastated area. Roads without meaning. Religions without reason. How can we survive.

Atado A Un Sentimiento - Miguel Mateos

Yo puedo tocar el fuego Puedo hasta quemarme entero No me pidas que te deje de amar Te llevo clavada Como una espina en mi costado Entrando despacio, oh no Y quiero que sepas Que eso está planeado por amor Un poco de amor, nada más

I can touch fire. I can even burn whole. Don't ask me to stop loving you. I've got you stuck in me. Like a thorn in my side. Coming in slowly, oh no. And I want you to know. That this is planned out of love. A little love, nothing more.

[c1tyhaunts]

LET'S TALK ABOUT ROMANCE. @cartelheir: 💖 - What traits does your muse find physically attractive? / for Lilah

OKAY. OKAY LISTEN. I WANTED TO DO THIS EXPLICITLY TO CALL THIS WOMAN OUT.

Lilah's pattern has been consistent since she dated her ex-boyfriend Joaquin when it comes to the people (particularly the MEN) she's physically goes after. This woman has a terrible habit of falling in love with the image FIRST before the person (ironic, given that's her same grievances that others put onto her).

So far, every person she had pursued had either one or more of the following traits:

dark brown/black/salt & pepper hair often swooping or longer than average. Think Mr. Darcy-Core highkey. She likes long hair that, at max, hit the shoulders.

Sad puppy dog eyes - like EXPLICITLY a man with sad or droopy looking eyes for SOME REASOn. Bonus points if they're brown eyes too.

Short kings only - like on average, she has gone for a man whose between 5'7"-5'10"

Scruffy - like they have to have some kind of beard or facial scruff.

Kinda odd looking - like, they have to have just... something a tad off with how they look. Like, you know how people were talking about like ugly cute or ugly handsome? Lilah kinda leans into that. She likes weird looking men.

average builds - she does not want some meat head, give her the most plain jane build ever.

AND TO PROVE my point, I have to put this woman on blast and show off A) her ex boyfriend Joaquin (that @hesperid and I have been foolin around with the idea of her getting back with him... again); so I have to show off what he looked like in his youth vs years later and B) her shittier ex boyfriend, Nick Virago. I'm not kidding when I say I think these men are like the same person in different fonts.

Your Honor, here is Joaquin Espina, both in his youth & when Lilah meets him again years later.

AND NOW... her other ex, Nick Virago.

AM I WRONG?? ARE YOU GONNA LOOK AT ME AND TELL ME THAT I'M WRONG???

HELLO YOUR RECENT ALBEDO ART IS GORGEOUS THANK U FOR BLESSING MY EYES I KEEP CRYING HAPPY TEARS EVERY TIME I LOOK AT HIM.

But can i ask, would u draw smth like this again? Or maybe u can share your thoughts about tge idea? Its truly amazing.

Thank you so much!! 💕

I want to draw more yes! Although, it hinges on whether I can get my attention span to cooperate, it can be a very fickle thing... 😭

But, for the most part, most Monster Hunter AUs I come up with are just me imagining what monster would fit best with a character, so I don't really have a story tied to it? It's not like I don't want one though, I just can't really think of anything, because Monster Hunter games never really have stories to begin with...

But yeah,

I settled with Primordial Malzeno for Albedo (colour scheme is practically the same, fighting a 'corruption' back that wants to manipulate it, its literally a knight) obviously, though I used to think Shagaru Magala was a good fit too (golden scales, star shaped wings, general theme of overcoming a form of 'corruption' to become something more beautiful).

His brother, Dorian, Rubedo, Subject 2, whatever you wanna call him, would be Malzeno (he fails to be what was expected of him and is suffering because of it). Alternatively, I used to think Chaotic Gore Magala fit him before, to fit with Albedo being Shagaru Magala.

Klee would be a Bazelgeuse! You know... Because bombs.

Aether and Lumine would be Valstraxes, I guess? I'm not overly sure what would fit them the best, but I thought them being dragons appearing to be shooting stars was good enough? Maybe even make up a set of rare species for them? Gold Valstrax Aether and Platinum Valstrax Lumine?

Other random thoughts I've had are Scaramouche being Ibushi, Raiden Shogun being Narwa and Ei being Allmother Narwa. Venti being Shantien and Zhongli being Shara Ishvalda. Collei would be green Nargacuga... I thought Tighnari maybe could be Espinas, or something, to educate people about poisons and stuff like that? I honestly have no idea for him.

[wyverian-lady525]

Okay, with Sunbreak-and ESPINAS being in the main series now- I NEED a waifu’s reacting to s/o having an Espinas monstie, Espinas is like my favorite flying wyvern! Sorry Ratha but the flagship of Frontier is here now and it gets to be the favorite child. (Also hope you’re having fun with Sunbreak too!)

Thank you!💖

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Waifus (Kyle, Reverto, Cheval, Alwin, Lilia, Ena, Kayna, and Avinia) React to a Espinas Monstie

Kyle

-Kyle actually doesn’t seem to care too much at first. This is because he thinks it’s just some rare subspecies of rathian. I mean, he’s half right. It is a flying wyvern, but its power is beyond that of just some rathian. Kyle has never heard of an espinas, and so he doesn’t know anything about their powers. That said, you leave him in the dark just so he could be surprised. When he tries to ask his relatives and other hunters, they are just as lost as he is.

-When it comes to fighting, he literally has to stop to avoid getting pelted by your monstie’s fire/poison balls of death. He is now traumatized by its savage nature (after it gets attacked that is), and how it seems to be a cross of a tigrex and a rathian. The hunter sees not to piss it off, and avoids it whenever possible. Also, he’s not speaking to you for the next couple of days. He needs some time to reflect on what he’s just witnessed.

Reverto

-Like Kyle, Reverto seems unfazed by your new monstie. However, after staring at it for a good long while, he recognizes the monster from tales of much older retired hunters. An espinas hasn’t been seen here since ever, so where the hell did you get one. That said, Reverto isn’t too surprised that you managed to form kinship with one. Still, he wants to know where you found it considering they aren’t native here.

-Unlike Kyle, Reverto got absolutely pumped seeing that thing fight. Toxic fire balls? Nature was up to something clever there. He sometimes gets in the way because your monstie has absolutely no chill when it gets pissed, and if he’s in harms way...oh well. That said, your monsite is unusually passive when not on the battlefield, but still, Reverto is not taking any chances after getting hit by one of its charge attacks.

Cheval

-He’s never seen or heard of an espinas, so he’s just curious to see what he thinks is a new type of flying wyvern. In fact, what he is admiring is actually an already discovered old type of flying wyvern. Cheval just figures you found a rare breed of rathian, and thinks your monsties will work well because of it. Rathi does your like your passive monstie, but it’s not for the reason that Cheval thinks. His monstie can just get along with anyone.

-However, when it comes to fighting, it’s like your monstie suddenly hates Rathi. It wants nothing more than to kill the opponent. Its behavior did a full one-eighty as it goes full tigrex on whatever poor soul you are fighting. Cheval tries to help, but after witnessing those fire balls full of venom, he decides to just hang back to avoid getting Rathi hurt. 

Alwin

-You’d think with being an “old” wyverian, Alwin would have some knowledge on a monster like espinas. However, he seems to be in childlike awe of this powerful looking beast. He’s literally u[ in its face, admiring all of its scary features. But your monstie is rather passive when it’s not being attacked, so it doesn’t mind. That, and it seems to like Alwin. Shaulk tries to butt heads with it because of that, but your monstie pays no mind.

-But if Shaulk wants to get petty on the battlefield, your monstie will let him have it. After seeing it enraged, Alwin couldn’t believe you let him get so close to it. He actually gets a little scared, especially after seeing it be so savage, and knowing it has both fire and poison alike. Even when it’s passive again, he doesn’t dare approach it. This makes things difficult when it follows him around wanting attention.

Lilia

-We all know that Lilia would want to get up close and personal with your espinas. After all, there is nothing in her notes about it. She’ll also probably want a sketch of it as well. Luckily for her, your monstie is rather passive and will just snooze as she observes all its features. Along with that, she will listen to any details you have about your monstie. She doesn’t get why the hunters look so frightened.

-Lilia will also want to observe its fighting skills. You warn her not to get so close, and she complies at first. However, it’s hard for Lilia not to want to get closer when she sees all the fire and poison flying around, ironically. She wants every little detail as she didn’t expect your monstie to have a savage side to it. That said, you might have to patch her up after the encounter.

Ena

-She isn’t afraid of your monstie. Truthfully, Ena doesn’t know what an espinas is, and sure it looks kind of scary, but she wants to hear more about it. Also, your monstie seems to like her (they all like Ena). It’s gentle and passive with her, and you can find your espinas snoozing right next to her as she pets its scales. Even after watching it fight, she isn’t scared.

-Sure, seeing your monstie’s savage side was kind of terrifying, but Ena didn’t avoid it. The wyverian made sure to stay away from all the fire and poison and charging. Ena knew it would never use this aggression on her because after every fight it will come over to sleep beside her as she tends to any wounds it got.

Kayna

-Like most of the time, Kayna doesn’t know what the hell you hatched but she wants it. A strange flying wyvern that looks like a rathian, but has the passive nature of an herbivore. Kayna doesn’t understand your monstie’s behavior. It seems to be more tame than Avmar, which says a lot. She wants to ride it, with your permission of course. However, one look from you causes her curiosity to raise. 

-When she sees it fight, Kayna understands why you did not want her on it. That espinas is a total savage war machine when it gets angry. Veins pulsing like a tigrex, it seems to shoot fiery balls of poison at anything that moves, including her. Once, Avmar got hit, and you would think that would wound the velocidrome. Instead, he got beyond mad, and now your monsties have a feud. Good luck with that.

Avinia

-She might be one of the few who is actually hesitant of your monstie. Sure, it’s a flying wyvern, like Frostfang. But your espinas seems to be heavily armed with spikes, and Avinia doesn’t know how to feel about that. She’s just thinking of protecting the village, so no hard feelings. Your monstie seems passive enough, even allowing her to pet it along with Frostfang nuzzling it. Still, she wants to see it in action before anything.

-It leaves her speechless to see how aggressive your monstie gets when enraged. She was reminded of a tigrex, but all the venom and flames reminded her of a rathian. It was like some horrible crossbreed. Luckily, Frostfang seemed to vibe with the espinas, able to stay out its rampage while also assisting the fight. It was Avinia’s monstie that ultimately gets her to trust your monstie. Still, she reminds all of Kuan not to anger it.

Chapter 5 of

The Blue Note

"Familial Priority"

Summary: Family Time<3

Start Notes: Ajax is the sona of @aratakiittogang on TikTok!! Yes, i do have his permission to add Ajax to the fic!!

After Miguel had left Koton to go see Ajax and wake him up for breakfast, Koton got dressed in her usual spiderwear.

Her spider suit was a really cool design, if she said so herself; it seemed normal with the usual tightness and webbing/spider symbol but she had sewn pure black cloth to where the armholes & legholes would be to minimize recognition. All along the black cloth, she had patterns of femurs and skulls in simplified forms on it. She also had the bone structure of her hands from her finger tips to her wrist. Then she had a hooded-cloak; a simple blood red cloak with a dark gold chain.

Walking out of her room, she put her hood up, locked her door, and made her way to Miguel's lair... well, the nicer looking part of it anyway.

He kept that section hidden because no one else knew about Miguel's secret family. Only that Koton and Ajax were his second- and third-in-command.

The other Spiders knew not to cross her or make her angry because she could report them Miguel if they crossed a line. Thankfully, that's only happened once.

But there were some spiders, other than Miguel and Ajax, that could put Koton in her place if need be such as Jessica or PB. Though Jessica could be more harsher and that wasn't really good for Koton's mental health, so it was usually Peter who put her in her place if Miguel or Ajax couldn't since he was much more therapist material.

"Papá? Dad? Where are you?" Koton questioned, walking into the more secure part of the lair.

"In the kitchen, sweetpea!!" Answered her other dad, Ajax.

Following the echoes of his voice, Koton found him, cleaning off the table and organizing the files.

"Good morning, honey, how'd you sleep?" He asked, smiling and cleaning off the table while his dual-coloured brown and blonde hair slowly started to curled into their usual form.

His snakebites shone against the light from the window, reveal that Ajax might have spilled something on them.

"I... well, I slept okay," She told him, making herself a cup of apple juice and smiling sleepily.

Ajax grimaced slightly hearing her small yet simple lie- over the years he picked up when she withheld the truth but he understood; if she didn't want to tell him that was fine. He knew that Miguel would tell him if it bothered him enough. Besides, the worsening of Koton's eyebags was worse than what Miguel had described.

But he played it off like that was fine.

"Well that's good to hear; I was worried about you since you didn't do your goodnight routine last night," He told her, examining the small cuts on her face; they weren't in any dangerous places like her eye or mouth and they'd heal right up and blend in with her skin.

"Yeah, but I'm okay though. I promise," She told him, propping herself up onto the counter, lightly kicking the cabinets with her heels.

Ajax nodded and gently pulled her hood down, kissing her forehead.

After a few moments of comfy silence, Koton gently leaned on her papa's shoulder.

She wasn't going to see him for who knew how long and her mental state wasn't fully ready for it. Would he and Miguel be okay spending so many days away from her?

Sure it was at most for a week, but she'd never experienced spending time away from her dads.

They'd always done everything together and they'd gotten closer when Miguel and Ajax got married... this was completely different and scary territory for all of them.

"You okay, pequeña espina?" Ajax inquired softly, placing one hand on her head, rubbing his thumb through her hair.

"Yeah... just thinking... it's gonna be weird without seeing you and Papá every morning and eating his world famous empanadas," Koton admitted, leaning into his touch.

Ajax chuckled, earning a small smile from his blue-haired child.

"You sure do love his empanadas, Koton," he teased, ruffling her hair.

"Whose empanadas?" came familiar voice in a teasing manner, earning smile and giggle as the answer.

Ajax pulled Miguel into his arms, and smiled greatly as the 6'9" Hispanic leaned down and kissed his cheek.

"You ready for the meeting, cuerva?" Miguel asked, earning a determined nod from her.

"Alright, but remember, don't traumatize them too much when we talk about your Earth, okay?"

"But my Earth is quite literally, Hell."

"Mija."

"Fiine

Ezra Santos is tired of running. Of burning bridge after bridge and going through new names like used matches. He desperately wants something he was never destined to have—a future all his own.

Putting down roots was never in the cards when the family that raised Ezra relentlessly hunts him across the country.

He promises a way out from a life on the run. Ezra knows there's no helping a man with the devil on his heels—but there's something about Killian that makes him believe he could finally break free of the Espinas once and for all. It’s only a matter of time before the clock winds down and the rest of Ezra's troubles come home to roost. There's something sinister in his blood—a dark fate passed down through generations. Can the two survive an ancient family curse or will Ezra doom them both?
