[indecisive-dizzy]

Hi bestie I hope you’re having a lovely day :D

Don’t mind me dropping off some Daisey and Eddie ideas (will vary between angst and fluff)

Despite all the angst and miscommunication, the two are besties. They hang out a lot, Daisey helps with the mail while Eddie helps with their garden, it’s really wholesome

Daisey taught Eddie Spanish, so he understands Spanish a little

I made a whole branch au where instead of Daisey being mournful and lonely after Eddie ghosts them, they’re bitter and scorned. They basically don’t really like him at all and they don’t bother trying to keep any kind of friendship with him. Also they hold an umbrella a lot for some reason

Daisey drags Eddie to so many of their family’s parties he basically memorized the playlist their family uses

Daisey had a quinceañera me thinks, Eddie was a chambelán and he had absolutely no idea what to do. Their cousins had to help him during practice and they all complained to Daisey about him being clueless. Daisey socked them all in the face

They dance. To literally any kind of music. They will dance to Selena and Dolly Parton any chance they get

Daisey listened to Selena nonstop after Eddie left, Como La Flor was their anthem

Eddie (definitely) may or may not be scared of Vee, Daisey’s venus fly trap

Another branch/different au: Daisey and Eddie as Velvet and Veneer from Trolls 3, I need those two as a sassy celebrity singer duo

Eddie did Daisey’s English homework while Daisey did Eddie’s math homework

They swap hats occasionally

Daisey can carry Eddie. Julie totally tried to get Daisey to carry everyone else, they failed when it came to Barnaby and Poppy but everyone else was manageable

They both get nightmares easily, cuddles are needed

Crying and hugging is a must in their friendship, they need it

asjdjajksdjak- they're so sweettt I love that they both still have fun together,,, listening to music and gardening, getting distracted and breaking into a garden dance party sobs it's so cute

on the other hand,, hhhh the angst. bitter and scorned is peak I hope Daisey serves in that au with their umbrella

Dasiey strong oh my! Them and Eddie just Lifting together lmao. they could team up and successfully lift Barn or Poppy hehe

normalize crying in your besties arms. normalize crying together because Big Feelings

[cq-studios]

Do you have any screenshots of your favorite details from KHUX?

HAHAHAHAHA, yeah I do

Gonna just drop a read more here 'cause if y'all know me at all you know this post is probably gonna be 10KM long lol

So, I'm gonna try to hold myself back a little because I literally have like 10 pages of notes about specifically stuff in the backgrounds and I doubt the internet will find my bench and lamppost count interesting. (Also image limit lol)

I'll list just 4 things for now (in no particular order) and talk about them a bit underneath.

NUMBER 1 || STREET SIGNS

So there are four street signs that we’ve seen in Daybreak Town. Two are in the Fountain Square (A and B), one is in the Marketplace (C), and one is in the Clocktower Outskirts map (D).

For B and D it’s pretty easy to figure out what the represent. B is a clock, probably representing the Clock Tower… or maybe the best place to see the Clocktower because it’s in Fountain Square. The overall shape of it is different from the rest of the signs so I imagine that means something. D is a gondola or canoe of some sort, which makes sense because it’s next to stairs that seemingly lead to the canal that runs through town. Maybe there’s a ferry system of some sort?

A and C I’m less sure about. The designs don’t really bring anything obvious to mind. Maybe C is Munny because it leads to the Marketplace? I’m not sure.

NUMBER 3 || DOOR UNDER FOUNTAIN SQUARE

See what makes this interesting to me isn’t just the fact that apparently Fountain Square is hollow underneath (maybe for pipe repairs or something, I don’t know) but just the general fact that a lot of structures in this town, that maybe shouldn’t be, are hollow.

If you look even some archways have windows, so there has to be an open space inside, right? Most of them seem at least connected to houses so I assume they’re basements or something. (The one by murder house gets me tho, like that’s right under the bridge. Who’s living right under the bridge)

And I also feel like this leads into the fact that, similarly but not as extreme as in Scala, Daybreak Town is kinda built on top of itself. Maybe that’s a symptom of being around so many (and possibly on) mountains but I still feel like it should be talked about more.

NUMBER 4 || LIGHTHOUSE INTERIOR MAP

There is so much to unpack here but I’ll try to keep it brief.

So I’m pretty sure this is one of, if not the oldest building in Daybreak Town. Two reasons.

1. Instead of having little wall lamps, like the rest of the town and buildings, all the light seems to come from mounted candles.

2. There are swords (A) on the walls and not Keyblades. Why would the Keyblade town not have Keyblades on its little shield emblem? Is it possibly because it was there before Keyblades?

This staircase here (B) is also the only known (not sewer drain) way into the waterways. It leads into the sewers then out to the little dock below the Lighthouse with the boat, hence the sign.

There’s these maps here (C) that I don’t really know what to say about, but is definitely worth pointing out. They’re all the same and I assume show the layout of the area surrounding the town (the darker parts being water). It could be a world map though (darker part being continents)… I don’t think we’ll ever really learn lol

And also I don’t know what this is (D) but I think it’s interesting that it has writing on it. It kinda gives me the vibe of those flat on the ground gravestones…

NUMBER 5 || BANNER

Daybreak Town actually has a flag it’s all over the place and you’ll start to see it everywhere if you look for it. They also kind of look like the banners in Radiant Garden. The colours and shape/mounting are the same but the designs on the flag itself (and mounting) is different.

I have no clue what that implies, if anything, but I figure it’s worth pointing out ‘cause it’s interesting.

May Preorder Update:

I can give everyone a real update today because tracking FINALLY has a delivery date for the bulk of the May Preorder order:

And so with that, here's the preorder tracker update in the shop:

We've already shipped out orders that only contained petticoat preorders, and we'll be shipping another set of about 25 preorders on Friday for items that arrived a little earlier than the big main set that's on the way. All remaining preorders will ship once we get the big batch processed! We've gotten pretty effecient about the whole process so we should be able to get through it fairly quickly, but at the same time there's been SO MUCH going on behind the scenes & in our not-work life lately that I don't want to make a promise of being able to get everything out by the end of the month as originally estimated/planned. There is a good chance that fulfillment will need to extend into the first week of August. What I can promise tho, is that we will get all May Preorders shipped out before our break ends and we reopen the shop (on 8/8). Thanks so much for your patience and understanding!! And as always, if you need an address update please email us ASAP at support@witchvamp.com with your order number and the updated shipping address!

"cause you could be the one that i love"

a jade leech x izuku midoriya one-shot 😨

idea from @quartztwst 💥💥💥

trope: uuuh mutual pining+childhood friends to crush to maybe lovers when they maybe have the balls to ask eachother out

warnings: english isn't my first language so watch out for grammar errors 😞, jade being cringe (when is he not), lack of azul ashengrotto but it's only because he's actively avoiding downbad jade, jade being the bubonic plague personified, floyd using slang because he does, MY HERO ACADEMIA, strange mha x twst crossover in which quirks are unique magics cause i hate calling a super cool power a QUIRK, BAD WRITING!!!!!!

"and i become hypnotised by freckles and bright eyes, tongue-tied"

jade loved izuku. a shocker to no one but him, apparently.

"whaddya mean how'd i know about you like-liking sea sheepie?" his twin brother floyd drawled, "you ain't slick, that's how."

"stop asking me strange questions on your shift, jade." azul gave him a flat look before readjusting his glasses, "but if you must, i'd say i realised your... feelings for midoriya when you tried to name another one of your mushroom dishes after him for the third time in a row even after i denied your submission the first and second time."

it was an unexpected realisation but not one he found that surprising—now that he thought about it, he had always loved izuku. not the way he loved him now obviously but even when they were younger, he had always appreciated him some way somewhat—whether it was for his notebooks filled with almost scarily accurate and detailed information about famous mages' unique magics, his funny little quirks, the astounding determination and strength laying dormant within him, the cleverness he displayed in difficult situations, his optimism, his laugh, his smile, his freckles, his green eyes akin to grass, to leaves, to seaweed, to sea glass and to well, jade.

he sighed as he leaned over the counter of mostro lounge in a particularly dramatic way, woe is the poor eel who fell head over heels for a human, right? though he imagined it wouldn't be so bad if said-human loved him back. they could hang out like they used to at takoba bay, except they'd call it a date this time.

he started spacing out at the thought of izuku and him, holding hands, under the shade of an umbrella on the beach, laughing, swimming, him diving under the water and dragging the smaller boy with him for a few seconds, maybe kissing—

"ow!" jade whipped around to glare at his brother, who was giving him a dirty look—as if he had been the one to kick him in the shin.

jade shot him a pointed smile, "what could that possibly have been for, brother dearest?" floyd rolled his eyes as he turned away, "dunno, maybe for being a cornball in public??" he cackled, loud and mocking, as jade threw an empty bottle at him, his aim a bit off—enough to miss his twin's back as he slipped back in the kitchen. he could already hear azul berating him for this—for daydreaming on shift or for throwing a possibly harmful item, missing floyd and it hitting the wall instead, he didn't know yet.

throwing possibly harmful items at others and missing... that reminded him of his and izuku's first meeting, though he hadn't meant to throw anything at anyone with his projectiles... the first time, at least. he smiled giddily.

truly, how lucky and fortunate jade leech was to be able to love izuku midoriya.

——————————

"feelin' like a face in the crowd, i'm reaching for you, terrified"

izuku loved jade. he loved, jade. his childhood friend, the eelmer, the sneaky bastard with a silver tongue (endearment), the obscenely tall, nice (to him at least), caring (derogatory), sweet (questionable claim) guy named jade. he sighed into his palms before looking up and staring at a picture of them he stuck on the wall a few years ago, jade had been gushing about a new species of mushroom he had found on one of his hikes when his mom snapped it. he, on the other hand, had been... looking at the other boy. no, that wasn't the right word to describe the look in his eyes then—he had been admiring him. how could he not? the merfolk was so passionate when he talked about something he truly loved... he wondered if he would talk about him that way if they ever—oh.

this was bad, this was really really bad. he couldn't let this happen, but surely he could fix this some way somewhat, right? he racked his brain for a way to cover this mess up, he wasn't a good actor, he couldn't even entertain the idea of pretending he doesn't love him because that would only result in jade teasing him to death—which would be a really pathetic death, even for him. he couldn't avoid him either—that was simply impossible, one because he doesn't actually want to stay away from him and two because he knows for a fact that if he tried doing that, jade could and absolutely would find him and force him to talk to him again.

he flopped down on his bed to roll around on his mattress in self-pity, if it had been a passing crush like what he had felt for uraraka in his first year then maybe he could've ignored the pull—but the tide was clearly stronger than him this time, and the depths of his feelings was scary. the honesty this love would cost him terrified him. he shook his head, how hypocritical of him to fall for someone who could force the truth out of him anytime any day.

after a few more weeks (a month or two) of agony, he admitted defeat. there was no way to escape this, izuku would have to face his feelings, he would have to face jade.

and so he would, he would reach for his hand and it would be up to jade whether he'd take it or brush it off.

...he would rather if he took it though.

also scraps LOL:

though izuku would like to say so, jade hadn't always been his friend. with him running after katsuki and jade doing god-knows-what with his brother under the sea, they really had had no reason to meet when they were children.

until they did, and well, saying it hadn’t been the friendliest first meeting was an understatement.

they were both 10 when they first met, it was winter—just a little while before christmas. izuku had been looking for seashells or pretty rocks to gift his mom while narrowly avoiding the growing amount of trash on the surface of takoba bay's once beautiful shore.

jade, on the other hand, had been grudgingly dragging plastic bags to the surface—he was on cleaning duty that day. 'cleaning duty' mainly consisted of finding human junk in the sea and putting it back to where it came from—land. the little eel thought that cleaning up after others—especially complete strangers—was mind-numblingly boring, but kept quiet while his twin brother floyd complained, rather loudly, for everyone and anyone within reach to hear.

instead, he vengefully threw empty cans and other items like soggy shoes towards the beach. honestly, how unfair was it that he had to pick up some random landdwellers' trash? he didn't tell them to throw their junk in his home, did he? he kept on throwing stuff until one of his projectiles didn't meet the sand but a little boy's face.

in his defence, it had been an honest mistake—he really hadn't meant to throw a dirty swimsuit at someone's head.

——————————

jade wouldn't ever want to tell anyone he had always been izuku's friend, he thought that would undermine everything they went through together—which would be a shame, truly. their bond was really precious to him as it is something he earned—it was not natural like his and floyd's nor was it born out of mutual benefit like his and azul's. it was something that grew with them and soon enough tied them together like an invisible string. he thought that their relationship was fine just like that, more than fine actually.

but it seemed as though he was the only one who felt that way, that strongly.

the eel listened as izuku talked about a classmate, he then watched as izuku walked with a boy and a girl on the beach. he kept on watching and listening as the smaller boy grew away and apart from him—still, they were friends, so izuku kept visiting him. but it felt different, now that jade knew the boy treated him like every other friend he had, he felt... a bit of everything all at once. he was happy his friend had a lot of friends now, really. he was also maybe a bit jealous of how many friends he had too. or maybe it was that he was jealous of the friends because of how much time they got to spend with him? he wasn't sure. he also felt fear, fear that maybe izuku would leave him again, but to bask in the presence of others this time.

he hated that idea.

I know Leslie is usually a villain, but if she had a Stick of Truth persona, how cool would it be if it was a goo/morally ambiguous witch?

I see her as being some sort of shopkeeper/upgrade system, while things she sells may be helpful I can't help but see her as being just a littleeee bit of a scam artist, just a little bit anyways here's my sot extended universe plot, thank you for the inspiration ^^

[retro-system]

read mario prompt and suddenly brain came up with a cool sounding sentence out of nowhere because i am very silly

look out into the stars and they'll stare right back at you

do with that as you will i just thought it sounded nice.. maybe..

"Look out into the stars and they'll stare right back at you..."

"Mm?" Mario tore his gaze from the mesmerising night sky above to look at Peach, who was sitting beside him and in turn looked back at him.

"Look out into the stars and they'll stare right back at you," she repeated, cocking her head. "Have you not heard of that one?"

"Ah, it's a saying?" asked Mario, drumming his fingers on the grass. "What's it mean?"

Peach tapped a finger to her chin, narrowing her eyes in thought. "You know... I've heard the saying get passed round now and then, and it's never once occurred to me to question what it means," she said, twizzling a lock of her hair between her fingers. She met Mario's eyes fully and smiled. "I say we sit and consider what it could mean, and then tell each other our theories. Tomorrow, I shall consult with Toadsworth about it, and he can tell us just how wrong both of our ideas were."

Mario chuckled, and reluctantly drew his gaze away from Peach's eyes to allow himself to think more clearly.

Neither of them knew what the time was, though they could confidently say it was far later in the night than they were used to. Peach had made a personal visit to the Mario household earlier in the evening to invite him to stargaze with her. This wasn't the first time Peach had gone out of her way to request Mario's company, though she had made it plain each time she arrived that Mario would not cause her offense in the slightest if he refused to accompany her, especially as her visits usually came unannounced. Mario took note of how spectacularly she always seemed to time her visits -- it was always shortly after dinner, and when Luigi left the house to make a trip into town, so neither Mario nor Peach felt awkward about not including him in their personal trips. It almost seemed... choreographed, especially since it always fell on the days when Luigi cooked, but Mario decided not to look too deeply into it.

Peach could not have picked a more spectacular night for stargazing. The air was crisp and clean, and the sky was clear save for a few small clouds, which did nothing to obstruct the magnificent scene beyond. The sky was positively dusted with stars, more than Mario could recall ever seeing before. Courtesy of the overwhelming light pollution in Brooklyn, he had been lucky if he saw constellations like Ursa Major or Orion's Belt. Mushroom Kingdom's sky beheld widely different constellations, all hidden amongst the scattered stars, only discovered by the mind's eye.

Frankly, it still mesmerised Mario to this day.

"Here we go... how about this one?" said Peach, shifting into an upright kneeling position, as though standing for a presentation. "Some people look to the sky when they're troubled, correct? They look up to the stars above, as though trying to communicate their problems with them, asking for guidance. Well... perhaps what the saying is trying to... say, is that... well, all the stars can do is look back, unable to truly help one, right? So perhaps it is trying to say that to look for guidance from an impossible source is to find that all they can do is look upon you, and hope you will find your way eventually." Peach settled back down on the grass, smirking. "Or... something like that, anyway. What did you come up with?"

Mario fumbled slightly, his answer not completely prepared as he had been halfway through contemplating it when Peach spoke up. He considered asking for more time, before reminding himself that he was not being tested. There was no wrong answer to this.

"Well, um..." Mario scratched his chin. Even through his gloves, he could tell he was ready for a shave. "I suppose... when I first came here... to Mushroom Kingdom, y'know... well, you know all too well I was-a not so confident. I was a fish out of water... a plumber out of pipe, if you will. And... not to mention I was-a pretty on edge about Luigi's situation..." Mario looked up at Peach, expecting her to urge him to get to the point. But she simply sat and listened, nodding sagely. "S-So... I guess my first-a night's sleep wasn't... really a sleep at all. More of a lie, really. Then the night sky caught my eye. I'd... never seen a thing like it. Somehow, it was-a the first time since I'd arrived that I truly felt-a like I was in a movie or something. It was unreal, really. And... although I much appreciated the company of you and Toad up to that point, I have to admit that those stars were really what made me feel less alone in this world. Sorry, ha-ha... but I suppose it felt like they'd all come out just for that one night to come and see me, and cheer me on, in a way. I know that sounds silly, yeah, but it helped me feel a bit better. So... to answer your-a question in a pretty long-winded way... I guess the saying says to me that you're not alone when you feel alone, because as long as you look up at the stars, they'll look back at you kindly." Mario scratched the back of his head, bashful. "...I guess, anyway. It-a sounded a lot less cheesy in my head..."

"Oh, Mario..." Mario peered at Peach. The starlight reflected the soft, warm smile on her face with a faint white glow, and she reached over to take Mario's hand in her own, squeezing gently and tenderly. "That's beautiful. I love how your mind works so much. You have such a way of making me feel fuzzy with your words. I-I mean..." Peach ducked her head suddenly, the white glow of the stars highlighting the flush in her face. Mario felt his own cheeks redden in unison with hers. Peach giggled, her grip around Mario's hand tightening. "We were probably both miles off the true meaning, but it's probably something really boring anyway, so... um... no real need to ask Toadsworth, I don't think..." She cleared her throat and straightened her back, just as abruptly regaining her composure as she lost it. "Regardless... regardless of that, I have just recalled another constellation I neglected to point out to you. May I...?"

She shuffled back into a proper sitting position, and shifted until she was next to Mario. With a moment's hesitation to examine his face and gauge the environment, Peach settled against his shoulder. Mario felt his heart flutter momentarily, before the comfort of her soft skin pressing against his arm reduced him to mush, and despite himself he found he leaned into Peach's shoulder, lazily following her finger as it pointed to a cluster of stars before them, her explanation of the imaginary outline they formed barely filtering through his mind as he sank into a cosy trance, undisturbed by anything.

And the stars continued to watch the warmth and fondness between the two continued to blossom over time.

[eskawrites]

y’know, i was wondering why this installment of the raise dead au was taking me so long to write, but i just finished it and it’s uhhh 12k words. so like. that would be why.
