#this is late because i was farming lolol

[meili-sheep]

So my thoughts on 3.5 spoilers included

Also, I'll talk about Dehya's quest and the event.

I'm surprised and not surprised that Kaeya was used more as a setup than a crucial plot point. He is a 4-star after all.

Which in my head. 4-stars are the less plot-important character who should be used for fun and to flesh out the world.

But at the same time, Kaeya and Diluc seem to have more end-game lore to them, and we did get quite a bit about Kaeya's family. So on to my thoughts

They didn't say this outright, but they pretty heavily implied that Kaeya is not a full-blooded Khaerian. Which makes a lot more sense. It would explain why he has seemingly escaped the curse. It could be that he covers up his eye because that eye doesn't have a star. And it would just draw more attention.

I would like to say I fucking called it.

Kaeya said he thinks his father left in Mondstadt to live a happy life. AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm correct, but it makes sense with Kaeya being a half-blood. Especially if, at the time, Kaeya's father knew about Chlothar and had a kid with a wife who was a follower of the seven. I don't think they are the same person. I actually don't even think they are brothers. It could even be that Kaeya's father is another Illigimate son who is still full-blooded, but was brother into the house or was nobler. That could explain why he was focused on the preservation of the Alberich name. Because he was barely giving it being a son out of wedlock so he had to take a lot more pride in his name.

My second theory is that they are Chlothar's far far descendants. Children he had after breaking his curse. This sorta seems less likely too tbh. But he was buried next to a women so who knows.

I also want to point out that I don't think Khaenri'ah will end up being a place without sin. Now I'm still on the Celesta is probably bad train. but I don't particularly get the vibe that they were totally blameless.

Overall, this was a good amount of lore, they add. I have some more thoughts on the Sinner, but this is already getting too long, and I wanna talk about other things. I will say it was a pretty short feeling, and the break from Paimon and talking with her was good. I was a little disappointed by the lack of Dain. Like we only get that bitch once a patch, and I need some more investment in his character. Given how he said he was the last of his people, but we've now met 3 other of his people lolol.

OK ON TO DEHYA

So a quick note on my thought on her kit. While I think it's pretty shit, given that jumping stops her burst, she can't hit Azhdaha's tail... I have a theory.

Remember when everyone said Kuki and Thoma were totally dog shit, and then dendro came out, and now they are almost staples of dendro teams? Well, I've started to wonder if Dehya is built to introduce a new mechanic like they were. What it might be, I have no fucking clue. Does that justify it? Totally not. It's just a thought and probably a bit of the copium I've been huffing.

Now her story

It was good. I enjoyed it a lot. Probably one of the better-paced ones, and we do learn a lot about the character and do sort of see her grow a bit, which I love. Ranking it's probably one of the better ones. I'll kind of put it next to Cyno.

Also, I am in love with shy baby Dehya. She was so cute.

That kind of rolls me into the event! And honestly, I was dying. Mondstadt and the Sumeru gangs really do carry this game. There are just such better dynamics between everyone, and they all mesh super well together. I AM PRAYING TO GOD we see Diluc and Kaeya. Mostly because I want Kaeya to start to tip Collie off Diluc and helped her, only for Diluc to jab him in the ribs.

Besides, Diluc would be so gentle with Collie, to be honest.

Oh. and last little note. I feel with very patch and every mention of Diluc and Kaeya the pair are getting a little closer, and I love that. Because Kaeya might say he'd only tell Diluc if Kaeya's in a good mood, but we all know he's gonna tell him anyway.

[chen-chen-chen-again-chen]

For the WIP Game! (I went and updated the original post so it has links to all the answers, if folks want to check those out. Sometimes my brain good!)

@you-remind-me-of-the-babe asked me about the WIP called Will suck dick for books! 😆😆 I did not anticipate that folks would ask about works in fandoms they are not familiar with but I am LIVING FOR IT~~

I'm also going to go ahead and tag @fatalfangirl here because (methinks??) you have partaken of the Haikyuu. Going to also tag @thewesterndoor because YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID lolol jkjk who got me into Haikyuu and whose Take/Ukai fics I ADORE.

Fandom background: Haikyuu!! is an earnest and hilarious volleyball anime where everyone is gay and chaotic and loveable. It's SO SO GOOD and like all sports anime, it is not necessarily just about sport but about FEELINGS~

Pairing background: Takeda Ittetsu/Ukai Keishin

Takeda (Take-chan): looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually kill you, English teacher, glasses nerd, his superpower is bowing at like 1000 km/h, head coach but he knows nothing about volleyball at the beginning of the series (he just stepped in to fill a void b/c he a good human), cries easily, tries to use poetry to motivate high school athletes, terrifyingly good at holding his liquor, in my headcanon he's a beast in the sack

Ukai: looks like he could kill you but is actually a cinnamon roll, Reformed Gangster Vibes, in his late 20s but his energy is always Kids Get Off My Lawn, lightweight, easily manipulated by cute English teacher into coaching a high school volleyball team even though he has full time jobs running a convenience store and helping out w/ the family farm because (in this fic) he's Weak for Dat Ass

The fic: a canon-adjacent and canon-compliant take on (some of) the events in the series, but focused on the relationship between Takeda/Ukai, these baby adults who have somehow accidentally co-adopted 14 chaotic teens.

There's fake dating, nerding out about books, soft boyfriends being super soft and domestic, dating/married even if they don't realize it, and a backstory involving writing your phone number in the back of a book, lending it to a hot stranger, and somehow running into them seven years later.

U want a snippet? here's a snippet. I has lots of snippets. (This bad boy is sitting at like 75% in my drafts folder):

"Look, are you going to buy something or not?"

"Are you going to coach the boys' volleyball team?"

"No. You should try a meat bun, they're pretty good." 

The Nice New Teacher buys a pizzaman, which is kind of adorable. "I'll come back," he says, but it's hard for him to sound threatening around a mouthful of steamed bun. 

And another, a little later on:

Keishin's gotten used to being accosted by the Nice New Teacher every few days, so he's a little weirded out by a sudden radio silence. In that time, he reviews the store inventory, decides to implement a new organization system for the frozen foods, and even washes the windows. It's a slow couple of days, okay? 

He literally just finishes throwing GunGun bars at a couple of punks from the volleyball team - the one with the shaved head catches the protein bar in his teeth, what the hell is Take-chan teaching them - when the store phone starts ringing. 

"Lo, Sakanoshita Market." 

"Ukai-kun!" Take-chan exclaims. He sounds breathless and excited, as if he's been eager to talk to Keishin all day, which is kinda adorable and - weird, Keishin corrects himself, weird, and not adorable, and definitely not a little bit charming. 

"You again," Keishin sighs, as if he's got about fifty million other things that he could be doing with his time, instead of re-reading One Piece. 

And then later, after Keishin's ass is well and truly Trapped:

"Er, thanks," Takeda says, flushing.  "I, ah, as you can see, I… I have a lot of books." 

"Do I need to stage an intervention, Sensei?" 

Takeda scratches the back of his head. "My mother was a librarian," he says, laughing a little. "So I come by it honestly." 

Keishin finds himself squinting at a silver flask resting between a bunch of cookbooks. There's writing on it in English, in fancy Gothic lettering, and he manages to just make out Will suck d- before Takeda suddenly materializes there, his smile very bright. 

"Hope you don't mind red pepper, there's a lot of it in the yakisoba!" Takeda says, his voice a bit higher than usual. "We should eat!"

THANK YOU for letting me blather about this fic in a fandom other than Carry On, LOLOLOL!!! It's so fun to come back to this and definitely makes me excited to FINALLY FINISH AT SOME POINT THIS YEAR RAWR~

[sockeye-run]

Up early on a Saturday (it's my Friday) again. Usually I get to work early to open the cafe for breakfast service so that our bee pick up customers have a coffee and hot food option on site; a lot of them drive for hours to pick up their nucs and packages, even from out of state. Just coming from north Texas is basically out of state by sheer distance alone lol.

But today is BuzzFest, our annual summer festival about all things bees. We have the American Honey Princess visiting from Iowa, multiple other apiaries and honey producers vending and doing demonstrations, honey tastings and trivia, educational demonstrations, food trucks and arts and crafts and games (including a bouncy castle and a water slide!)... It's expected to be a big event, hopefully nearing 1,000+ customers between 11-3 today.

I'm assigned to retail, so I'm lucky enough to get to stay in the shade and AC. I've been told that when in retail, you just stand behind the register all day, no time or space to do anything else. You have to force bathroom and food breaks for each other. I'm not too worried, I've worked many a high volume, high chaos event before. This is just my first experience with it at the farm. We've spent all week as a team prepping for it, and it should be great. I wanted to make kolaches for my coworkers for a morning treat, but I stayed at work so late yesterday and was exhausted when I got home last night and decided not to stay up late baking lol. I'll grab some from the bakery down the street and try to make everyone a latte or something at work instead.

Because of the absolute disaster that has been this years bee pick up season, everything has been pushed back at least two weeks. Usually BuzzFest, which is the same weekend every year, signals the end of the crazy bee season, but we still have orders going into June. I was kind of looking forward to the break, but it seems we're not quite there yet.

The kids have some family events planned for the beginning of June, so we're getting them a week or so later this year for summer break than usual. We want them to have fun with their free time, so we're cool with it... Plus honestly, I'm hoping it will show good faith for December when I have to ask to keep them longer for an event with my side of the family 😁 my grandma is slowly deteriorating from rheumatoid arthritis and parkinson's, and my mom wants all the generations to be able to spend another holiday with her while we can. I want the kids to be able to participate in my family too. And, it'll let me get through the late bee season with relative ease, I suppose. I'm not gonna lie, I take on a lot of the caretaking responsibility when the kids are around usually, but now my husband has to step up for once lol bc I'm busting my ass full time and won't have the mental or physical energy left over most days to do all I normally do for everyone. He's already suffering the experience of doing regular weekly chores alone and taking care of the dogs all day lolol.

We're also anxiously and concernedly waiting for word on the debt ceiling crisis. They've extended the decision date to June 5, but we won't know if my husband will stop receiving paychecks soon or not, and it's crushing everything with stress pressure. He makes more than me in his military retirement and we depend on his income for survival; I can't support us alone. If they cut military support and punish the average voter for no goddamn reason, per usual, we'll suffer significantly. He's even warned his ex wife that if things go south, we may not be able to afford having the kids visit for summer. We won't be able to feed them. We've already unsubscribed from any extra services like entertainment and delivery and such which we deemed not absolutely necessary, just in preparation. We've re-budgeted and cut out any possible extra spending and reduced allowances for gas and food. I'm hoping it's all a stupid pissing contest like it was about a decade ago, and things will somehow turn out okay. Hope beyond hope.

Time to go work for those pennies baby lol

[ihopesocomic]

Surprised to hear that you're a fan of Faux Pas. That comic goes waaaaaayyy back and yet still feels pretty obscure, even with furries. I'm not feeling the recent plot developments though, even if the art is nice.

For those not in the know, Faux Pas is a newspaper-strip comic that started in the late 90's/early 2000s (I can't remember exactly when but - like anon said - it's been around for a while). It focuses on foxes Randy and Cindy, who live on a farm that specialises in animal actors for movies and commercials and what-not.

But yeah, I agree, anon. I don't know if the authors are extremely fond of doodling rabbits but... I really hate the rabbit characters in this comic. They're boring and it's same plotline (i.e. them finding other rabbits to bang) over and over again.

I mean, isn't this supposed to be a fox comic? Your main couple just had kids who probably have infinitely more interesting personalities than the rabbit characters we've seen almost non-stop since 2015 and we're just going to ignore them? OK, then.

There's also the whole issue with Dusk - Cindy's cousin - being "friends" with Fluffy, one of the rabbits. I don't know if it's an actual ship or what but it makes me feel uncomfortable. She's presumably the same age or close to the same age as his mother and yet she appears to be in love with him. It's just weird... and very forced.

What makes it all the more frustrating and mind-boggling is that Dusk originally wanted to be with Randy and yet she completely turns up her nose up at another fox who wants to be with her, Hubert, who is pretty much Randy 2.0 in terms of personality.

And yet Dusk doesn't like him for some bizarre reason. She says he's "too stupid" for her but she also called Randy "clueless" and still wanted to be with him. It's just a glaring inconsistency and I don't get it. Especially when it's used to seemingly ship her with a prey animal half her age. Again, they might be "just friends" but it's not coming across as that to me. oof

The comic was really good during its heyday but it certainly has just fallen off the wagon recently and yeah, I only say I like it because - before 2014/15 - it was pretty good. Ever since then, it's just been very meh. lol

Oh, and sorry for the slight rant. I've been wanting to talk about how much this has bothered me for literally years now lolol - RJ

[impossible-rat-babies]

So I heard you were making friends for Pollux? Can we hear about them?

hey! sure! ^^ they're less....friends? I dunno, they three of them all have a weird bond thing going on sdfjsjdk

rambling beneath the cut lol

also gonna tag @sidestepping bc you've asked about these two before and there's new Lore

so the three of them are sorta like. squadmates? maybe? the three of them worked together on several missions for the farm before pollux's escape #1. The all have some form of brain/mental boost and they worked well together as a cohesive squad when they did work together.

one of them is quiet or f-qu137-13678. I haven't picked her out a "real person name" yet. she is "younger" than pollux--part of the batch that came after him. age wise she looks around....28-29? only a few years younger than pollux (if he took better care of himself lolol). she's vietnamese and (coughafterherescapecough) likes to keep her black hair long ;--;

she's...hmm the best term is empathic, although her boost is variable and weird at times--there's often new funkiness to explore. but she can sense and influence others emotions--controlling, changing, shifting emotional reactions/responses. it could also be considered a form of telepathy that focuses/understands/parses the emotions of others. Her mental image of a mind and how she sorts through it is very...different from pollux's understanding of a mind. he's more....thought focused whereas Quiet is very.......emotion centered?

take someone who is lying for instance: pollux can track a lie from duplicitous thoughts and parse out the truth (or what someone's thoughts have believed to be the truth). quiet does the same thing, but she more feels the lie--the complex parsing of emotions and bodily reactions to that lie; she can't really say what the lie is like pollux, but she's able to parse out the emotions around a lie in much more depth and understanding. often more than she can articulate.

her relationship with pollux is...it's weird with how they're both a brand of telepathic boost, so they could Know each others thoughts. Pollux knew her thoughts, and she knew his emotions better than he did. They've always had a very aggressive sibling dynamic with each other; physically and emotionally aggressive. they're pretty well matched fighters (at least at the time when they did training), and often beat the snot out of each other. were more physically aggressive towards each other than what was often acceptable. it's really the only way either of them understood how to expression affection towards each other--they loved each other the only way they were taught and the only way they really Could.

the two of them are nothing short of sisters--they love each other, but they hate each other because they love each other. they're reflections of each other--a way of looking at each other and understanding they're both not people, they were both "raised" really fucked up, but they both feel things beyond what they know they should and they hate each other for bringing that out in the other.

She's still alive--what she's doing now though is a big I dunno. i haven't thought that far honestly.

And in all honesty i haven't thought much about her personality either.

the other one....(i changed from he/him to they/them pronouns lolol) they don't have a "code name" yet, but I'm stuck between Aloysha or Aleksi for their name. I do know the numbers that come after though: 3469

they're older than both pollux and quiet, being from the batch before pollux. they're telekinetic/tactile telekinetic + some other bits like anatomical perception. they're also modded as well, funny enough. they look around mid to late 30's, give or take a few years--there's been a lot of wear on their body over time, thus the mods. they're russian.

they fall into the brain weird category with pollux and quiet because their anatomical perception is more than just....body structures. it's almost like a low level telepathy, but they have to be touching someone to have it work. there's no anatomical control, but they're good at sensing low lying thoughts and the deeper ones in the brain. not quite hindbrain, but their touch telepathy hits more in Freud's classification of "superego" and "Id". it's often what people want to bury and forget about in the deeper parts of their brain.

they're also. very strong because of the tactile telekinetic stuff which is great fun. their mods are all meant to compliment that part of their boost--it makes them more durable, their bones less prone to breaking when they push the strength of their boost to the max. they're quite powerful and have only gotten better as they've gotten older, so the investment in their upkeep is outweighed by their usefulness.

between the three, they're not so much the leader as they're the ground between pollux and quiet. they're the balance--the glue that makes the team. Pollux has always been more the leader with quiet being in the second and *insert name here* being the bedrock on which it all thrives and works in concert.

they're still alive and again. don't got that much personality at the moment. nothing concrete anyway.

I've also been thinking about them + quiet escaping the Farm and how that would go. that's mostly so i can think about character design and fashion for the both of them admittedly. i have a one track lil character design mind.

'The Art of Conveyance and Round-Trippery' Liveblog!

15:57 "lose the bucket" "I'm not gonna do that" HELL YEAH KATE

16:07 I get not having the bucket on the court lolol, I thought Martina was telling Kate to lose the bucket in general. Like, yeah, good luck convincing her to so that

16:35 show!Kate is much angrier than book!Kate and I'm still deciding how I feel about that. The Kate we've known from the books is a sunshine baby with looots of repressed trauma.

17:03 ......what is that. why is that.

17:11 WAIT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE REYNIE AHEHDJDJD

17:15 HI MADGE

17:41 the grand swell in the music makes me think it's going to go comically wrong

18:37 ohhhhh? Someone's approaching? Miss Perumal perhaps????

18:45 YEAHHHHH BABY

18:50 PROTECTIVE MOM COMIN IN HOT!!!

19:22 THEYRE SO PRECIOUS 😭😭😭😭 I feel like I've been subconsciously starved for her and Mr. Benedict's interactions

19:36 died at that line in the one trailer

20:00 so Miss Perumal pulled a Sherlock Holmes. Love that for her

20:20 Cheri Tupintown??? Of all the aliases they could pick, Cheri Tupintown???

20:33 "Power in Truth Inc" that HAS to be something Rhonda came up with

21:01 you can literally watch Mr. Benedict realize that this is a woman not to be fucked with and he is CORRECT

21:23 "he's fine. Perfectly fine." At this, Mr. Benedict's pants caught aflame.

21:52 something about Constance sitting in on practice!!! It scratches an itch!!!!

22:19 "incorporate the helix. Live in the helix." Lord Helix is pleased with this offering.

22:26 so what I'm hearing is Kate is going to blow up on Constance for messing with the bucket

23:13 unrelated but Jillson'a shoes are cute

23:29 why does this room give off Johnny Depp's willy wonka vibes

24:13 that looks like a chair from a doctor's office waiting room 😭

25:29 they do be egg heads tho

26:02 baby girl, I have no idea why you're crying at weird art but let me dry your tears 🥺🥺

26:50 SHE FOUND ITTTT

27:27 okay Indiana Jones, go off

27:46 why did that kinda sound like Miss Perumal

28:43 the return of everyone's favorite, "enjoyable"

29:05 not that I'm not loving the ice breaker questions and the one-sided conversation, but I'm not loving it

29:22 oh so we're getting right into it aren't we

29:54 his eyes being open again makes this infinitely creepier

30:36 "where's your proof?" Miss Perumal doesnt fuck around!!!

31:29 you're telling me Constance has been there all day?? And Kate went to find her???? 🥺

31:58 oh so we're getting right to it then?? Kate addressing her independence and trust issues arc????

33:29 NEWS!!!!

33:49 CONSTANCE RIDING PIGGYBACK!!!!!!

34:04 okay, so they opened the murder hole, what are they gonna do now

34:59 Italian? 🤨 m'sir that is so fancy

34:59 fun story I learned Italian diction in college, so I know a little bit

35:16 "take your time" the whisperer says, immediately repeating the prompt to get the answer sooner

35:31 theeeeere it is

35:46 SOMETHING ABOUT THE WHISPERER SAYING "YOU ARE HOME" 😭😭😭 the show really played up the cult shit!!

36:02 Kate being protective of Constance 🥺

36:20 ohhh shit is it time for Connie girl to have double Reynie? Double Sticky?

36:36 STICKY

36:52 "what kind of nonsense?" HAVE THEY NOT ASKED THAT BEFORE THIS?????

37:14 "and your tiny brain can somehow pick it up!!" KATE STOP 😂😂😂

37:16 "I knew you had to be special in some way." WE DONT HAVE TIME TO UNPACK ALL OF THAT

37:51 she's right, this is disregard for their safety. The show made Mr. Benedict and his team a lot more back-alley and dishonest, and Miss Perumal has every reason to be pissed

38:30 oh good they finally remembered he has narcolepsy

39:38 and the best mom award goes to:

40:38 I was gonna say that this hallway is how I imagined the KEEP in riddle of ages but then I remembered that (spoilers) the Institute is the KEEP

40:46 oh, hello propoganda

41:10 that's the other person Rhonda couldn't contact, along with Mr. Bloom. This has to be the brainsweeping process

41:22 yeppppp

41:44 this dark doctor's office theme gives me horror movie vibes

42:22 ohhhh, so that's how they replaced that scene where the four of them jump in a crate to hide and Sticky drops his glasses in the open

42:47 and so we've come to the part of the story where Sticky and Reynie become infinitely more conflicted

42:47 and since we've reached that point..... can we have the white knight scene? Pretty please? Please Disney I'm begging you-

43:12 so Reynie just figured that out without Constance? :/

44:03 love the manipulation

44:31 I'm sorry, the farm?

44:35 farm and forest????

45:16 "the Emergency has served its purpose" 😳 well okay then murder man

45:39 "one thought, one purpose" the hive mind rises once more

45:48 LOVE THE MANIPULATION

46:07 "what have you done to earn anyone's trust?" VALID

46:26 "please do!" WHY AM I EMOTIONAL

47:06 "we still have the falcon" that you do 😂

47:19 AYYY HERE WE GO!!! Time for Milligan to stay on the island??

47:49 ohhhh Constance, casual telepath strikes again

48:16 "stop it, Kate!" OOOOHHHHH

48:53 that line ("it would be nice to be unburdened") would be funny as shit if not for the fact that Constance is a telepath unbeknownst to herself and can both subconsciously perceive people's thoughts and hear the subliminal messages

49:20 HI MRS. PERUMAL!!!

49:25 wow, she's really going through with it 😳 not that I doubted her, but still, that's dedication

49:39 OH SHIT

50:17 oh, so he's an asshole to SQ too. Got it. Torches and pitchforks? Ready to kick his ass?

50:40 "for the moment, anyway" FUCKIN WHAT

This episode was really good!!! They covered a LOT. I hope Miss Perumal comes back to the group and talks about her findings, I hope Milligan goes to get the kids and they tell him no, and I hope they get that classic 4-person Society brainstorming and binding time that hits that sweet spot

Magic

1st Wand: Chestnut, Phoenix feather, 11 ½ in, springy

This is a most curious, multi-faceted wood, which varies greatly in its character depending on the wand core, and takes a great deal of colour from the personality that possesses it. The wand of chestnut is attracted to witches and wizards who are skilled tamers of magical beasts, those who possess great gifts in Herbology, and those who are natural fliers. However, when paired with dragon heartstring, it may find its best match among those who are overfond of luxury and material things, and less scrupulous than they should be about how they are obtained. Conversely, three successive heads of the Wizengamot have possessed chestnut and unicorn wands, for this combination shows a predilection for those concerned with all manner of justice.

Special Abilities: Able to see Ancient Magic

Boggart

Form: Herself, stuck to the floor and unable to move (representing being stuck in one place and unable to explore)

Riddikulus: Her plain gown turns into something ridiculous and she unsticks a foot only to fall on her butt

Amortentia

What they smell: TBD

What they smell like to others: Citrus, petrichor, lavender

Patronus

Form: Leopard

Memory: The first time she successfully healed a wounded animal and released it into the wild.

What they see in the Mirror of Erised: Her with her mother, father, and sister travelling the world

FAMILY

Sister: Fenella Fraser

Her identical twin sister. The two are very different, but very close due to the fact that they only had each other growing up. Fiona is very protective of her sister, but is also interested in seeing how things will go now that they don’t live in the same room anymore.

Grandfather: Alasdair Fraser

Fenella and Fiona were raised by their grandfather on a rural and isolated farm in Scotland since they were a baby. He was very strict and very paranoid and refused to let the girls go to Hogwarts, homeschooling them with help from Isla, who their grandfather barely tolerated. He died suddenly from illness when they were 15.

Father:  Thiago Gonçalves

A Brazilian Muggle-born who was fond of travelling and adventure. Went to Castelobruxo and was an eager student. Currently missing.

Mother: Catrìona Fraser

A Scottish pureblood raised by her strict father. Never went to Hogwarts and homeschooled by him. Left his house the second she was old enough and ran off to find an adventure. Currently missing.

Guardian: Isla MacLean

A pureblood witch who lives nearby to the Fraser farm and one of the few aware of its location. Alasdair would (begrudgingly) invite her over every two weeks or so to help teach Fenella and Fiona as Isla worked as a tutor to younger wizarding children at the nearby town. Not knowing anyone else, when their grandfather died, the two girls went to her to help deal with his death and what comes after. She has reluctantly become their caretaker/guardian for when they aren’t at Hogwarts.

Pets:

Angel An angry old tomcat that they used as a rat catcher on their farm.

Has always been fond of taking care of wounded animals, or any that live on her grandfather’s farm and considered all of them her pets too.

Fenella Fraser Her sister, see above.

TBD

Story

Childhood:

Homeschooled by her strict grandfather and a neighbour before his death. After that, they went to live with the neighbour for several months and she became Fenella and Fiona’s caretaker and guardian before shuffling them off to Hogwarts.

Fiona was always in trouble with her grandfather. She didn’t like being told no without a reason why and frequently broke his rules to go off exploring on her own. She still loved him and was sad when he died, but was excited to be able to properly learn things at a school.

Hogwarts:

Was also quite shocked to be separated from her sister when they were Sorted into different Houses. She took it much better than Fenella however and quickly tried to make friends in Ravenclaw. Turned out to be not great at school, but always had fun with the Ravenclaw door’s riddles.

Adulthood:

TBD

Miscellaneous

Has ADHD but it’s undiagnosed because 1800s

Decent at art, at least when it comes to drawing animals or plants.

Has her own family curse related to Ancient Magic that I will probably expand more on when the games comes out lol

Yoosung X MC: walk to college

“MC?!” Yoosung yelled as he pounded on MC’s door for the fourth time. He’d been standing on her porch waiting for her, for god knows how long. It felt like an hour to him. He impatiently pulled his phone out of his pocket, to call MC. As soon as he unlocked it, he saw a text.

So sorry woke up the second U got here, be out in 5 mins lol xoxo

He softly smiled to himself, then looked at the time. He still had 40 minutes to get to class, so he wasn’t stressing out too much.

He put his phone back in his pocket then sat down on the porch. He had never really observed the surroundings of MC’s house. The road was a little uneven, with gravel, rocks, and minor potholes littering the middle of it, but it was cute. Over the road, a distant patch of overgrown grass with a few flowers sprinkled in quietly sat in a pile of sand.

She didn’t life in a poor neighborhood, per se, but it wasn’t the best. Tiny houses were stacked together, with children running and screaming early on in the day.

Her house sat in front of a tiny mountain, which displayed a beautiful scenery for the morning time. The sun appeared right before the mountain, clouds surrounding it to make it look like a farm painting. It reminded him of his childhood; running around the backyard with his sister.

“Good morning baby.” MC said as she bent down and pecked Yoosung on the head.

“Hey.” He blushed.

She got up then grabbed the doorknob from behind her, gently shutting it.

“I got here early. I wanted to walk around with you and talk,” Yoosung smiled as he stood up on his feet. “Oh my god, MC!” Yoosung said as he looked at her. “Why are you carrying so many things?” He grabbed her portable coffee cup, that was about to fall out of her hand.

Yoosung loved her to pieces, but she was a mess.

Her hair was messily tied into a knot on the top of her head, with tiny baby hairs peeking through her forehead. She had a tote bag balanced on her shoulder, stuffed full with papers and other pieces of junk that he couldn’t quite make out. She was holding a portable coffee cup in the middle of her palm on one hand, and her keys and sunglasses were fighting for space in between her fingers in the other hand.

“Sorry for making you wait. I didn’t have much time to get ready either,” MC nervously rambled. “I texted you, did you see it?”

“Yeah i did, i’m not mad at you!” Yoosung smiled.

She placed her sunglasses on her head, then looked up at Yoosung. His stray pieces of blonde hair slowly followed whatever direction the breeze took it. The sun illuminated through the blonde, almost making it invisible.

“It’s only 6:05, we could go see if cafes are open.” Yoosung suggested.

MC jumped out of her trance, almost, then nodded her head. “Yeah, wait, no.” She said. She looked at Yoosung, who was dressed in jeans with a grey top. He looked presentable. Then MC looked down at her baggy sweats, then remembered that she looked like she had been up studying all night.

“I can’t go to a cafe looking like this.”

“It doesn’t matter, you look cute!” Yoosung said as he extended his hand out. “We are students anyway, I don’t think they care.”

MC scrunched her nose. “I’m trusting you on this one, Yoosung.”

“I wouldn’t lie to you. You’re so cute,” he grabbed her hand. “Come on.”

_____________

The streets were damp from last night’s rain showers. Worms all throughout the street struggled to squirm to their holes in the dirt. They ran from the sun that was slowly coming up, which would dry them up and eventually kill them.

The phone lines that plagued the sky occasionally dripped left over rain onto their heads. They hadn’t officially decided what cafe they were going to, they just decided to walk in the direction of the university until they saw one thst was open. It was still sunrise, after all. They’d be lucky to even find one.

“Last night i was playing LOLOL,” Yoosung said breaking the silence. “...and i was thinking about if after this semester we could start talking about moving in together?”

MC looked up at Yoosung’s face, expecting a confident smile, but instead was greeted by an insecure smirk shielded by a rose colored blush on his cheeks.

“Awww are you nervous asking me that!?” MC giggled.

Yoosung’s cheeks heated up to a deeper red color, slightly out of embarrassment and slightly out of guilt.

Did i go to fast? Does she think this relationship isn’t serious?

“Sorry. That was too quick.”

“Nooo,” MC squeezed his hand tightly. “I want to talk about that too. It would be easier for us.”

The butterflies in his stomach free flowed whenever she referred to them as a thing. Maybe since it was his first relationship, or maybe because she had such a special place in his life. But either way, everything she said and did had a big affect on him.

“Oh good,” He looked down at MC, who was staring at the morning sky. Her hair bounced every time she took a step, and her small stature made Yoosung feel big and protective- for the first time he had ever felt that way over another human. He snuck a small kiss on her head, then whispered “I love you.”

MC met her eyes with his, then smiled wide. “Wait, Yoosung that’ll be so cute we can wake up together and walk to school everyday.”

Vendors walking with materials taped to their backs began appearing at every corner, which made Yoosung grasp MC’s hand tighter each time. He felt a really strong sense of protection over her. They both knew that under his sweet persona, was a tough and scary man. MC had only seen that once before, and never wished to see it again.

“Yeah that’d be really nice!”

___________

They’d both decided on a small student run cafe 5 minutes from the university. It was snuck away in a line of corporate shops, it only caught the couple’s eye because of the single lightbulb illuminating the whole cafe. Maybe it was a kidnapping trap, or maybe it was a cafe, but both of them were desperate for breakfast, so they didn’t object to going in.

It was a really tiny cafe. Only four booths were avalible, 2 of them being piled in with half asleep students who lounged over their coffees in a languid manner. Yoosung and MC were the complete opposite. The waitress caught them blowing straw wrappers at eachother, while giggling up a storm.

They ordered a small breakfast, and talked about school gossip for a good half an hour.

“Oh my god!” MC laughed loudly. “We have 4 minutes to get to class!!”

MC and Yoosung erupted into laughter, then began to gather up all their things.

“The only time i’m early to pick you up we somehow still manage to be late.” He said as he dug in his wallet for  ₩24011. He placed the money on the table, then grabbed MC’s hand and they quickly opened the door.

“Thank you!” MC joyfully said as she made eye contact with the waitress. The waitress put on a phony smile, then MC turned around while Yoosung dragged both of them out of the cafe.

“I’d love to run with you but all the papers in my bag will fall out.” MC said.

“Let’s speed walk very quickly.” Yoosung joked.

He wasn’t mad for losing track of time, but he was a bit disappointed. Usually MC and him went straight to school, or were a little bit late, but they always made it on time. He hated the embarrassing moment that always ensued when you were the last one to class, everyone staring you down as you pitifully found a seat in the back.

“What class are you going to?” Yoosung asked MC.

“Uh...management studies!”

Yoosung sighed, as he knew that was halfway across from where he was going, but it would be very rude to let MC walk to class alone, so he sucked it up and guided her.

They rushed past the crowds of people that constantly filled the hallways during class time. They always took up all the space in the hallways, and didn’t budge even when asked nicely. So, you had to push people aside and move them with your hands. They didn’t mind that either, they were boneheads.

Yoosung and MC finally got to her class, which had already started. MC could hear her professor begin to lecture a crowd of uninterested young adults. Yoosung couldn’t imagine how late he was going to be. Her side of the school compared to his side was at least a 5 minute walk, so he was going to be at least 10 minutes late.

Yoosung let go of her hand, then they faced eachother. “I’ll pick you up in an hour, ok?” He said.

She got closer to him then stood on her tippy toes and gave him a hug. “This is so dramatic but I miss you all the time when we aren’t together.”

He put his arms around her shoulder, then buried his head in the crook of her neck. “Me too...I’ve always felt that way.”

MC separated herself from him, then smiled. “I’ll see you in an hour, good luck in class today.”

“You too!!” Yoosung said.

He stood and watched as she opened the door, then disappeared into the classroom. He peeked into the window of the door and noticed all the stares MC was getting. Realistically it was because she was late, but his jealously began to come out and he stared down every boy who was looking at her.

He was already annoyed and it was only 7 in the morning.

Nanase Riku: Wonderful Octave Rabbit Chat Part 2

Tsumugi: Everyone, thank you for gathering when you’re busy! I thought that I would collect requests for “RADIO STATION ‘Twelve Hits!’” here.

T: To manage the chat and check the contents, us managers will also participate. Please take care of us!

7: I’m looking forward to the requests from everyone! Please take care of me!

100: It’s worth thinking about the request if you say that~!

8: Eh? You’re thinking of it now?

100: I already thought of it tho. (ゝ∀・＊)

1000: You already thought of it huh.

7: Momo-san’s requests are fun ones that always hype up the show! I always think they’re amazing!

100: Riku, you’re cute. (*>ω<)ω<*)

100: What kind of request would be good? Shall I ask for your order as an exception?!

1: Excuse me. Can you please not spoil our center?

9: Please do it as usual.

3: Denied by the guardians lolololol

2: They shut it out immediately (lol)

7: Iori and Tenn-nii, are you guys always going to treat me like a kid?!

7: [Angry Kinako Stamp]

100: I’ll go with the request I thought about properly lol

T: I’m looking forward to what requests there will be! Then, this time I will ask starting from the youngest again. 

T: From Tamaki-san please!

4: Kay.

4: Tell us your unfailing funny stories.

7: That means the funny story which makes everyone laugh no matter who heard?

4: Yeah yeah. Your best one.

7: Got it! What should I talk about? I have a lot of funny stories!

6: Requesting for Riku to tell a funny story… Tamaki is a gambler huh.

3: When Riku says, “I have a funny story so listen!” sometimes it’s something we don’t really understand lol

7: Eh! That doesn’t happen right?!

4: Totally does.

1: It does.

7: Eeeeeh?!

1: Nanase-san, you laugh too easily sometimes. 

2: Last time when you were talking about mishearing “ikura” and “okura,” you were talking like it was really fun right? Even we laughed infectiously too (lol)

10000: Since you talk with laughter, it’s fun to listen huh.

4: Rikkun talking passionately is funny and I like it!

7: I thought everyone laughed because the stories were funny... 

7: And Sougo-san?! You think my stories are funny right!

5: Eh.

5: R-Right. It will be really catchy for some people!

7: Seeee! 

3: Riku is positive huh! lololol

6: Sometimes, Sogo’s kindness is sharp as a knife.

T: Ikura and okura’s unfailing funny story amused me…!

T: Next is Iori-san please!

1: Yes. From me it’s “Try the request with all your might.”

1: There are a lot of fans who like to see an energetic and hardworking Nanase-san. I’m still  thinking about the request, but as a radio show, it will be something huge.

2: Oh, as expected. It’s a good request that can show Riku’s nice appeal.

9: It’s a wholesome, fresh request that’s suitable for teen male idols.

7: Your request huh. I wonder what it will be!

1: It would be nice if it’s something like playing musical instruments like we have done in “IDOLiSH Night!”

1: I just thought about it but for example, mimicking the voice of the bunny at the production office.

9: I feel like that’s totally different tho.

Anesagi: It is.

1000: Doesn’t that just mean you want to see that Riku-kun?

10: I see, I get it! Because Riku-kun copying the bunny would be cute huh!

1: Inot

1: It’s not like that.

1: It’s just an idea.

1: I just wrote it down the idea that listeners would like because I thought about it.

7: If Iori wants to see it, I’ll mimic Kinako!

7: Myu! Myu~!

1: I’m saying it’s not. (Mad) (Mad) (Mad)

T: There will be many things you can do, it will be hard to choose…! Is there anything that Riku-san wants to try?

*T: Like a super hard recipe?

7: Like making curry from spices? We could do a curry party with everyone after the on-air!

1: Isn’t that too hard to try over the radio?

7: Right! Cuz it has to be something that can be understood with just the sound huh.

8: I thought making soba would be good but it seems hard huh.

4: Making pudding?

7: Everything seems interesting!

3: It would be hard without any visuals. Let’s keep those ideas for “IDOLiSH Night!”

1: I’ll think of something short and that works with only the sound for “Twelve Hits!”.

7: Thanks, Iori! Copying Kinako is fine too!

T: Iori-san, thank you for the specific idea! Next is Riku-san’s request for yourself please.

7: Yes! My request is “I want to show what I like about IDOLiSH7!”

7: I want to hear what IDOLiSH7's good points are and what the members like and such!

6: It’s a wonderful request! :-) Please thoroughly talk about what kind of me you like :-)

3: We’re talking about everyone! lol

7: A point I like about Nagi is even though you are older than me, you’re sometimes acting spoiled; I have lots of others!

6: Thanks, Riku. To makes you happier, I will become Riku’s younger brother from today onwards. I’ll be spoiled as much as you want.

6: Riku-oniisan. 

7: Waaah! I’m happy! Doesn’t Nagi being a younger brother sounds amazing?!

5: Just hearing how he called it, it’s more like a neighbor than an actual brother…?

4: Nagicchi, me too!

6: I will gladly call you. Tamaki-oniisan.

4: Oooh! Somehow good!

4: Nagicchi, you have a younger brother talent.

7: I get it! 

6: :-)))))

7: How about Iori asks him?! 

1: Please don’t play weird games.. I’m fine. 

6: Don’t hold back. Iori-oniisan.

7: That’s great huh, Iori! That you’re a big brother!

4: Isn’t it great.

1: What is this conversation?!

3: Our kids are cute lololol

10: It’s lively and cute. It feels like I’m seeing my brothers in my hometown!

100: Being like a big family is nice huuh!

1000: Everyone wanna be our kid?

2: Hahahah. It’s an interesting joke huh.

100: Yamato’s face is straight isn’t it lol

6: If I have brothers like everyone, I won’t get bored everyday X-)))

T: A big i7 family seems fun! lol

T: So then, next can we hear the request from Kujou-san please?

9: From me, “I want to hear Nanase-san’s goal for now.”

7: Goal meaning as an idol right…?

9: Of course. How do you want to be as an idol from now on, I wanna hear from Riku.

100: Suddenly it’s serious!

8: Like Tenn, it’s a serious one huh.

10: Yeah. It’s something only Tenn would ask huh.

7: My goal as an idol huh… 

7: I want Tenn-nii to hear me too. About how I feel when I’m on the stage and what I want to deliver to them when I’m singing!

7: I want Tenn-nii to understand my way.

7: I’ll definitely pull this request!

9: If you actually pull this request, I’ll listen to your determination seriously.

7: Expect a lot from me!

T: Kujou-san, thank you for the serious request!

T: Next how about a request from Nagi-san?

6: From me it’s “Please tell me what ice cream you like.”

7: Ice cream? It’s fine but, that’s your request?

6: It’s because I ate Riku’s wafer ice cream the other day. I’m sorry… For an apology, I’ll buy what Riku likes.

6: It was an unavoidable tragedy. Please complain about this to the summer heat.

7: It’s been really hot lately huh! Lol I thought I ate it without realizing cuz it was so hot!

2: It’s only Nagi who could bring this request in this serious atmosphere.

6: Wafer ice cream is godly. (∩´∀｀)∩

8: And he’s not regretting at all (lol)

9: Even though Gaku did something similar recently.

8: I did? I don’t remember eating someone else’s ice cream.

9: It wasn’t ice cream. You didn’t remember so it means you don’t feel sorry after all.

10: Maybe, was it when Gaku mistook Tenn’s toothbrush and used it?

8: Huuh? It’s about that again? I noticed that right before I use it, it’s fine since I didn’t actually use it right?

9: Huh, now you shift to a defiant attitude?

10: Well well. We’ve written everyone’s names properly on them now so they won’t be mistaken anymore!

5: TRIGGER-san writes their names on their toothbrushes?!

7: Did he write “Tenn” on it…?

10: He wrote “TENN”!

9: Ryuu, you don’t have to say it.

7: Tenn-nii, it’s in English huh! So adult!

1: It’s more like a child though.

8: I wrote Yaotome. 

10: I wrote Ryuu!

Okazaki: TRIGGER’s gap makes us feel their affinity!

Anesagi: You guys are not kindergarteners right... Please make now’s conversation off the record. 

T: Y-Yes! I got it! Next is the request from Sougo-san please.

5: Yes. From me it’s “Let me hear a scary story.”

5: Since it’s summer, I thought a chilling request would be nice. Riku-kun has a sixth sense, so it seems like you have a lot of stories.

7: Feels summery! Please leave it to me!

4: I woooooon’t!!!!!!!!

3: This time it was canceled by Tamaki!

4: SO-CHAN WHY YOU DO A SCARY REQUEST?!!!!

5: I-Is that bad? I thought it’s seasonal and nice...

7: It’s fine, Tamaki. I won’t do that scary of a story! It’s not like ghosts are always doing scary things anyways.

7: Just last week, something interesting happened in the dorm bathrooms!

3: I said no bathrooms!!

2: No to the bathroom.

1: Bathroom is not good...

7: Eh, is that so? Then, I’ll talk about the bath! 

3: That doesn’t really change it lololol

1: Um, Yotsuba-san froze like a rock...

7: Waah! Tamaki, I’m sorry! I didn’t intend to scare you..!

5: I’ll prepare earplugs so that Tamaki-kun doesn’t hear.

10: Sougo-kun, you think about your partner huh!

100: Is plugging your partner’s ears and continuing to talk about the horror stories thinking about them…? lolol

1000: The attitude of not changing the request is so rock, nice.

7: So that Tamaki won’t feel scared, I’ll tell a fun ghost story…!

10000: That’s not a horror story anymore lol

T: I’m a little interested in a fun ghost story... 3: But anyways, Tamaki seriously doesn’t move..!

6: Let’s wait for him to reboot :-)

5: I’m sorry. Can we take a little break?

5: After Tamaki-kun recovers, I’ll give him a presentation of the summer horror stories and demands as a radio show project. If it doesn’t work, I’ll think about different request.

7: Sougo-san, let’s give him a presentation together! Because it’s a request you thought up for me!

5: Thanks, Riku-kun.

T: So then, let’s take a little break!

7: I’ll contact you when we can start again!

V2:

T: There will be many things you can do, it will be hard to choose…! Is there anything that Riku-san wants to try?

T: How about a farming experience?

7: I think it would be super hard but I wanna try! Freshly harvested vegetables seem especially delicious! 

1: Isn’t that too hard to try over the radio?

V3:

T: There will be many things you can do, it will be hard to choose…! Is there anything that Riku-san wants to try?

T: Tap-dancing Riku-san seems cool!

7: I-Is that so? Since you recommended it to me, maybe I’ll try it…!

1: Isn’t that too hard to try over the radio?

Boop! ❤ Hope you are having a lovely evening! What's something new you've discovered about Arthur (both versions of him, as I know you've said he's different in your two fics)?

Hey idrelle! Thank you for this ask! I’m sorry I missed it last night! I was actually with Arthur lolol. We were in the bayou hunting rare herons for their feathers. I like hunting exotics with Arthur after long days sometimes. He gets like really dirty and sweaty and his beard and hair grow and he just camps for days and eats only what he hunts or forages and it’s a grind but It’s also like very cleansing.

Anyway, what’s something new I’ve learned from writing Arthur? Ah, so much. I tend to come up with a lot of my backstory headcanons while writing. For Arthur, I’ve learned that he was born in Nebraska, but his parents took him on the Oregon trail when he was very young, and they settled in eastern Oregon for a while until his mother died of a “fever” when he was about nine (he doesn’t remember what exactly happened, only that she was sick). I learned his father Lyle, who was an outlaw and a petty criminal, was actually highly intelligent, a trait that Arthur inherited from him. Lyle’s intelligence was undermined by multiple addictions and general derelict tendencies, but he did teach Arthur a lot about math and how to cheat cards in both blackjack and various styles of poker. He also taught Arthur some sleight of hand before getting killed by law when Arthur was like eleven or twelve. That Arthur is hugely smart and particularly good with numbers is one of the most important things I think I’ve learned about him. He has been known to memorize the ordering of an entire deck of cards and to hold it in his mind for a good stretch of time, if given the opportunity to concentrate.

I’ve also learned that Arthur is capable of falling in love with and being sexually attracted to both men and women. Identifying labels such as “bisexual” did not yet exist in the late 1800s, but in researching historical social views on male sexuality for my Arthur/Albert fic That he may hold me by the hand, I have learned that same-sex relationships, dalliances, and even marriages between men (called “bachelor marriages”) in male-centric societies, such as cowboy cultures of the Old West, were not altogether uncommon, nor were they taboo. Heterosexuality simply did not exist the way that we think of it now. If you want a good article on the topic, read this.

In terms of how my two Arthurs are different (across The Lily Farm and That he may hold), I think that Arthur who finds love with Mary Beth is perhaps more optimistic, highly honorable, and still invested in the gang, similar to how he is in canon–it’s just that things go “better” for various reasons. Mary Beth is a part of the family that he’s so invested in, and so being with her only deepens his attachment to the life he knows, even as he is trying to escape it in a big way. Meanwhile, my Arthur who finds love with Albert is far more pessimistic and perhaps less honorable, if only because he is extremely bored and fast losing his investment in the gang. He is looking for an escape from his daily grind but more aloof to the future, because for a very long time he’s been more or less indifferent to life. Albert takes him by surprise, and he must be convinced that he deserves a better life, while Mary Beth’s Arthur is convinced somewhat easily. She is like a second chance on his failures, while Albert is a hard reboot.

Thank you so much for this random boop!! I was so pleased to write this. (*^_^*)

AN UNBREAKABLE BOND.

*this is how i dealt with the lost of my mother*

She was known to everyone as JoJo, but to my sister and I she was MOMMY. August 28, 2018 is the day that my heart stopped and my voice of reasoning was lost. On that day, everyone lost a daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend; but I lost the ONE person who gave me a second chance at life.

So let’s start from the beginning.. my mom was born with Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA/SCD). For those who don’t know what that is, it’s basically a blood disease that affects the cells in our body and they flow through the blood stream. In someone who has SCA, the red blood cells become hard and sticky and look like a C-shaped farm tool called a “sickle”. THIS IS A GENETIC DISEASE THAT COMES FROM BOTH PARENTS. ALSO IT’S MOSTLY FOUND IN AFRICAN AMERICANS. When she was just 5 months old she was diagnosed with this and at the time nobody in her family knew what is was or how she got it. Nobody in her family had the full disease but both her parents had the trait without knowing. **Back in the early 1940s African Americans wasn’t really aware of their health nor had research about it.** At the age of 14, my mom was told that she only had months to live because they didn’t have the care or cure to help. OBVIOUSLY she proved those doctors wrong and lived to be 59.

Growing up and watching her go through the following symptoms of having yellow eyes (jaundice), dizziness, trouble breathing, fast heart rate, AND not to mention pain crisis, was difficult to witness. The long stays in the hospital wondering if she was going to come home was rough. Even when in pain she was the strongest person in the room and making sure my sister and I believed that everything will be okay.

Fast forward to a month before she passed... she was allowing me to be out real late, and do things she would be cautious about. I thought it was strange at first but she just wanted me to have fun and not worry about her or the upcoming school year. One day she was out when the house phone rang (yes we had a landline lolol). I answered and her doctors called to discuss her options about her kidney failure. I explained to them that they had the wrong number because my mother didn’t have kidney failure. In the end I was wrong because she ended telling that both of her kidneys were falling and needed a transplant. The bad part was that she hide this from me for 4 months, and I was angry with her for that. Now I realize that she only did it because she knew that I was going to worry and be by her side 24/7. As the month flew by her health was declining and she was hiding it so well (she was a warrior). August 18, 2018 was the last day we spent together before she went to the hospital that night. She was having stomach pain which cause her sickle cell crisis to occur. It was horrifying to she her on the floor in pain and searching for air. I immediately called 911 and we rushed to the hospital. After four hours in the ER they finally transferred her upstairs because she needed to stay, just until she was better. What we all didn’t know was that she wasn’t coming home this time. The next day, was my move in day for sophomore year and I refuse to go so I could be with her; but of course my mom wanted me to go so I would start classes on time. I moved into my dorm and everyday before and after class I called to check up on her. August 24, 2018 (her 59th birthday) was the last time I heard her beautiful voice. I had called to sing happy birthday and she started crying because the nurse came in to prepare her for her mini surgery to remove the rest of the kidney stones. I told her that everything will be okay and that I will call her when she recovered.

After her surgery she was doing fine but unable to speak because she had tubes in her throat. That weekend was the longest because all I wanted to do was talk to her and tell her about the courses I was taking. August 27, 2018, I was with friends when my brother in law called stating that I needed to pack a bag because I was coming home for a few days. Her health was declining and she was put on the kidney transplant. When I arrived at the hospital my entire family was there and in tears. In the moment, I just knew that she was gone. My sister approached me and explained that she was still alive but wasn’t able to communicate with us. As she walked me to the room, my chest was heavy and it was hard to breathe. Seeing her in what appears to be a vegetable state is an image that I will never forget. The next 24 hours was a living nightmare, as she was transported to another hospital who could treat her sickle cell and help with her kidneys. On August 28, 2018 my sister and I had to make the biggest and hardest decision of our live; do we keep her on the ventilators and hope she’d recover or pull the plug so she wouldn’t be in anymore pain. She wasn’t able to get the transplant due to the sickle cell affecting her immune system, so she wouldn’t be able to accept the kidneys. When they pulled the plug, my entire world crashed and my heart was broken. I locked myself in the waiting room bathroom and cried my little heart out.

For the next few weeks, I missed class, wasn’t eating and sleeping for over 24 hours. It was really bad and I thought nobody was paying attention until my cousin realized that I was going through a grieving crisis. When I return back to school I barely attended class and wasn’t really communicating with my roommate who was there for me the entire time. It was really bad guys!!! When I came home for thanksgiving and christmas break, I was acting out by drinking and smoking. I hit rock bottom and nobody even noticed or knew until now.

To close this up, losing a parent is hard but to go through the grieving process alone is harder and not safe. It’s been almost a year since she passed and every now and then I act out and it’s gets better. If you and anyone you know lost someone make sure you check on them and not this once but daily/weekly/monthly to let them know that they have a support system.

enjoy this cute picture of my favorite girl🥰

xoxo Breiyanna♥️

Character Creation Tag

Hey so I was tagged by @gottaenjoythelittlethingzz so you already know. (they’re cool in case you didn’t know) (also i would never pass up a tag game if you didn’t know) This is for Parli, because I ... love her.

1) What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?

Name. I made it up and kind of just built the story around it?

2) Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind?

No because she was the first. Everything revolves around her so idk why everyone tells her it doesn’t. bC IT DOES THAT’S WHY YOU’RE AN EXTR-

3) How did you choose their name?

Made it up.

4) In developing their backstory, what elements of the world that they live in played the most influential parts?

The olden style. She grew up in late nineteenth century, and then there was a war and a plague. She wasn’t like, broke bc of it or anything, but it wouldn’t have gone down the way it did in another time period.

5) Is there any significance behind their hair color?

No. (Light brown, btw)

6) Is there any significance behind their eye color?

No. (Brown)

7) Is there any significance behind their height?

She’s 5′8″-ish. Not significant but she was a maid, so it was helpful that she didn’t have to ask for help to reach the top shelves.

8) What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story?

Probably. How she feels like she doesn’t have a say in the matter. Of anything.  

9) Are they based off of you, in some way?

No.

10) Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation?

Yeah I knew she’d be straight bc I wanted to have a romantic subplot and the people I had in mind for it were guys.

11) What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)?

Writing came out much better than I thought I was scared she’d be a Mary Sue. Art, well, idk I can never get her quite right. Oh well. 

12) How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all?

Ahead? Nada. Behind? Yeah, but nothing coherent enough to actually add to the story, just some backstory. Parli grew up decent, but when she was a teenager her brother was drafted in the war. She had to become a maid to help the family bc she couldn’t work on the farm. Mom tried to have kids, they died before 10. Brother died (how surprising). The plague came, and then Parli went to work at the doctors bc it was high pay. Worst decision of her life.

13) If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?

idk... she’s not a mindless follower and she’s a christian

14) What is something about your OC that can make you laugh?

Parli isn’t funny. 

15) What is something about your OC that can make you cry?

I don’t have tear ducts.

16) Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story?

None bc I can just take it out whenever I want lolol

17) What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?

She doesn’t know how to fight but is surprisingly ok with blood. 

18) What is your favorite fact about your OC?

She don’t know how to fight.

So I’ll tag @unwriter-sc @akingsleywriter @sarchopathic @altheathewriter @quoth-the-ravens @distance-does-not-matter @writersloth 

You don’t have to if you don’t want to.

beautifulwhensarcastic replied to your photo:I am late to the stucky raising goats in wakanda...

I love how their goats are sheep :D I mean, I imagine them slowly expanding their little Wakandan farm and getting more farm animals. And of course they name each one. Possibly after Howlies. They also adopt a panther cub and name her Peggy.

Bwahaha omggg I didn’t even realize I drew sheep instead of goats I am dying. I have a paranoia of goats so maybe I subconsciously blocked myself from drawing them. 

Omgg yes they do and Bucky dotes on all of them and Steve calls them by their military statuses when he is trying to be stern with them. And they do not give af. Aww no maybe they found the cub while on a walk in the mountains or hey maybe one day an old veteran panther just strolls on in their farm and makes it her home. The first time she showed up the boys almost had a fcking heart attack because a damn panther came out of nowhere and was just hanging out with the sheep. But she kinda just rolls in the grass and lets the animals cuddle on her or walk all over her like she’s getting a massage lolol.

The Last Post

This is the last post I’ll be submitting to this blog. I miiight be compelled to post all those informational entries about Ghana I always thought up, i.e. transportation, the local cuisine, top asked questions about being in the Peace Corps/ Ghana (aka “what was dating like?” and “how do you stay healthy?” hoooo-yeeee haha), social/cultural tidbits, etc. but I might be too lazy. If I do post up anything non-Ghana/ Peace Corps related, it would be on my personal blog. Go ahead and message me if you want the link to that since it’s just about me and not about this experience. 

The much-hated question: “So how was Ghana?” 

What I want to say: I don’t reeeally want to unpack this right now over dinner, Sheila. We haven’t seen each other in over two years, and I really can’t do the whole peace-corps-service-in-Ghana thing justice in 30 seconds. I really just want to eat this plate of Thai food I haven’t had since 2016 and not listen to myself talk.

What I actually say: It was good. I enjoyed it a lot. There were times that were really tough, but I regret nothing, except maybe sometimes willingly taking a chance on cold food.

Or, conversely...

In one word? Umm... hot.

Being back has been quite a whirlwind. Internet. ALL. THE. TIMEEE!! Driving! A refrigerator :D I now have a smartphone in America, something that was not a thing for me before I left for Peace Corps (brick phones, RIP), and I. LOVE. IT. Perhaps a little too much. Those apps really got me, man, because I am completely addicted to podcasts. And I’m always collecting new ones and asking for suggestions, so if you got any... holla at yer girl ;)

Basically me, all the time, sans velvet blazer. I need to get me one of those.

I’ve gained quite a bit of weight too. I mean, I wasn’t slim... more “normal bod,” but I was exercising regularly and not eating processed food (as much). Lately, your girl has gotten thicc. Booty booty rockin’ it arounddd, rockin’ it arounddd... to the other side of the kitchen for some thirdsies, thanksss ma! My biggest guilty pleasure has been cereal and pizza. 

Costco pizza has been giving me life*, and y’all know I live near a plethora of fast food joints, right? Round Table Pizza, Domino’s, Pizza Hut, KFC, McD’s, In-N-Out... America, you know how to trap a girl!! But right now it’s been YOLO, even when I have a hard time getting back into all those Ghanaian bespoke clothing I spent a lot of my monthly allowance on. That’s another two great things about being back: cool enough to wear sweatpants, and socially acceptable if I wear shorts (I wore some in public the other day and I felt a lil’ nekkid ;)

*fyi: pineapple belongs on pizza

I was travelling for a bit, and now that I’ve been back to America, I’m off for a month again! This time to Vietnam with my mum and my older sister. We haven’t been back to my mother’s country in over two decades; I was four years old the last time I’d gone, and that was because of a family emergency. Why the long wait? I’ll tell you why: it ain’t cheap to fly there! Plus, I’ve been hustling ever since I graduated from college, so it was no contest: savings, bills, rent money > Vietnam vaca.

Luckily, my sister paid for my ticket (bless!). The original plan was to go to Vietnam and explore southeast Asia after the Peace Corps, but since my sister is a teacher, I’d have to schedule my Close of Service date to coincide with her Spring Break. I wasn��t able to because PC Ghana staggers COS dates so that communities don’t experience a mass exodus once a year. They experience mini-sayonara’s thrice a year lol. There can be a lot of drama when your cohort is figuring out who gets what date; it really depends on the people. Most of everyone wants to leave as soon as possible to catch graduations, see family, or just get. the. hell. out. of. there. Waiting until my sister’s summer vaca meant that we had more time to be in Vietnam, a country that we mostly have to seek information about for ourselves as American children of Viet refugees, and I appreciate that our mum is making the journey with us. The trip will be our first time exploring the whole country. No one has been north of the southern region. I’m thrilled to see my mother’s village, my father’s hometown, and also explore the mountains where my father was held at a concentration camp for almost seven years after the war. Vietnam has gone through so much industrialization and cultural change in the last few decades; I’m sure we’re all bundles of apprehension, wonder, and excitement! Once I get back, I need to hit the ground running; no more travel for me for a while!

At the moment, I’m set up to re-attend school. I’m going back to finish up some pre-requisites for nursing school (that’ll take me a year as the anatomy & physiology portion is a 3-part series offered once a quarter--eww--and nursing programs typically last 2-3 years,so I’m looking at the next 3-5 years until I finish #lesigh) to get a second Bachelor’s degree. I know, I know. A second BS? Damn, gurl. You coulda saved yourself some moolah by getting it right the first time! But I don’t regret anything. I love nutrition, and studying it was a big source of joy. I’m rather scared as a twenty-something who likes to create, be in nature, and help people... I know there is an intersection there somewhere, but I’m having a hard time finding it. I’m pulled in three separate directions: pursuing nursing, pursuing environmental science (a passion that has been steadily growing since college), and forgetting academia for now and just working on a farm with nutrition and youth and nature... it’s all very romanticized and a total quarter life crisis. I’m wondering if nursing would open some doors for me to work with women and international settings (other huge passions of mine), perhaps in midwifery (to tie in the nutrition component), and in rural areas (to be more in settings that are more nature, less city... though I love the city and am I city grrrl at heart). The creative side will just be brushed onto my spare time, like it has been for the last decade lolol (but really doe...) 

I’m in a transition mode right now, and “trusting the process” is hard when the process is scary af! But at the end of the day, I acknowledge it’s scary and daunting only because I’m reveling in my own fears of failure and self-doubt. Still, that doesn’t make it any less scary and confusing :(

I implore y’all to go forth and pursue what makes you smile. It’s hard to navigate that in this society and culture where we’re all so immersed in the sense of time and money and the pursuit of happiness. Hell, I’m hella guilty of that. Yoo-hoo, nursing? Financial stability but also rewarding profession. I’m worried about making the leap to go back to school as I’m not a spring chicken no more! I’m still young (Asians don’t raisin, holla!), but Peace Corps Ghana definitelyyy took at least two years off my total life expectancy haha Still gotta reiterate: no regrets there. I’m older and a lil’ wiser and a lot more grateful for my time on Earth and the space that I occupy. I’m taking this sharper perspective to do good on some of the things I talked about in previous posts:

I signed up for a novice swimming class (your girl is about to learn some life skillz!)

Attempting to live more minimally (donating a lot of my clothes)

Reaching out to old friends to reconnect; fostering friendships

Be more kind to my other Mother. Continually attempting to start a compost pile in the backyard, and I bought a pack of stainless steel straws as a first step

So that’s it for now. HMU if you’re ever in NorCal in the next few years and/or you want to continue creepin’ on me as I try to navigate this post-Peace Corps life on another blog hehe (there is a certain source of vanity and joy from taking about myself, whatever forever~)

Blue Lace, Summer Weddings, & Ice Cream

I love summer dresses, summer weddings, summer vibes, summer everything! Last month, two of our friends, both of whom we all know, finally got married. It was so nice seeing everyone gathered; it was basically a huge reunion of everyone from our old church. I saw this baby blue shoulderless lace dress and knew I had to get it and wear it for the wedding. SO CUTE. I was worried the fit wouldn’t be right but it was good enough. The dress was super comfortable as well, and since it is shoulderless, lots of breeze to keep me cool. 

The dress is a little too fancy for everyday wear, but I mean, why not? When will I ever be as young as I am now?! Now is the time to wear whatever I want, do what I want...before I turn 30 in a few years....right?! Lol! I did feel overly dressed up as I was at Kurt Farm Shop waiting for my scoop of delicious ice cream but at the same time- why shouldn’t I dress up when I’m hanging out downtown with my bestie? My friend Julie was dressed up ina super cute purple dress as well. She is always dressed nicely wherever she goes, even if it’s like to the grocery store I swear lolol and I really appreciate that. Because I appreciate when people are nicely dressed. I think sometimes I get a little lazy and go with ‘comfort’ a bit too often lately, but I’ve been trying to tell myself to dress up and make an effort even if it’s not a special occasion because I know that it leaves a lasting impression- especially for someone like me who sticks out like a sore thumb. Not that I think life is all about appearances an clothes, but i think they do make a first impression, and I’d like to leave a positive lasting impression, especially as a little person, where so many people already have set prejudices towards people like me. I want to look put together, intelligent, and fierce. That’s why I love fashion and value style... it’s not just because it’s pretty and glam, but I think it plays a major role in my life as an individual with a visible physical difference.

Speaking of, if you have not been to Kurt Farm Shop, I highly recommend it. honestly, I like it better than Molly Moon’s. Molly Moon’s is a bit too heavy and creamy for me. What I loved about Kurt Farm’s ice cream is that while the flavors are still creamy, it’s very light. Hard to explain.. you’ll have to try it yourself!! The shop is hidden between this cute little alley pictured above, in Capitol Hill. You won’t see any signs for the shop until you actually find and walk in the narrow alley! 

Hope you’re all staying cool with some yummy ice cream, good friends, and happy vibes this summer!
