#ALSO I LEARNED HOW TO DO READ MORE WOOO!!

[clefairytea]

The older I get the more I think we should stop selling the idea of like. There being an “easy” version of something.

Like ok I’ve always wanted to be able to do something musical but I’ve also always been pretty tuneless. Like “kid in primary school who couldn’t clap along with the beat in music class and got told to stop when singing” tuneless.

So last year I finally drummed up the courage to at least TRY. After a bit of research on “easiest instrument for stupid idiot babies” I bought a ukulele. Amid that, I read plenty of promises of “wooo you can learn to play a great song in A SINGLE WEEK on ukulele!”.

And…it was still hard! I couldn’t strum nicely or figure out how to switch between chords, I couldn’t keep a beat, a lot of the music terminology I saw completely confused me. And it made me feel SO stupid and useless like. This instrument they give literal tiny children because it’s so simple and easy and barely an instrument at all and I couldn’t get it.

I’ve been at it pretty consistently for a year and a half or so, and honestly I’m still not good! Id be pretty mortified to play in front of anyone that isn’t literally being paid to teach me lmao.

But I’ve gotten much better! I can strum much more nicely and play a couple songs, I’ve learned to chuck and fingerpick. And now I can pick out the beat in music much better, I understand some basic music theory. I have learned this stuff, even though I found it super hard and unintuitive!

And like. Man looking around online I feel like I’ve seen a lot of people who picked up an uke for similar reasons who gave up fast because it was sold to them as easy, and they felt like “well if I can’t get THIS then I’m hopeless”. But then there is no easy way to learn a completely new skill and get actually good at it, it still takes work and frustration and a lot of vulnerability.

And I think I see this with stuff like. Oh learn to code the easy way, learn to draw the easy way, learn Japanese the easy way, etc etc. and it’s like man. Are we better off just admitting that like. Most things for most people are hard, but you can still do it anyway? Like you can still do it! You can still learn and get better at it! It’s fine if something is hard and takes a long time! It really is!

#clefairy squeaks #This is incoherent but I’ve been Stewing On It #Listen there are some people who WILL pick this up seemingly super fast and easy! #But they’re not the norm! They’re not the standard you’re failing! it’s fine! #People who say it can be easy…….are selling you something sorry to say #Because they know that sells better than lol it will be hard work and you might get frustrated

hello! Hello! I was wondering if you can write vil schoenheit with reader who is like ai hoshino from oshi no ko, thank youuu!^^

hello hello anon! yhank u for the request :)

after extensive research (reading the wiki and watching a 6 minute video), cause i havent seen the anime/read the manga, I came up with this. I hope I didn't drift too far off with ai's personality

qlso, although I'm not good with headcanon format, I didn't know how to do this in a normal fic format soo yeah (I ended up writing a small fic)

type: headcanons/small fic

pronouns: you !!afab!!

character: Vil Schoenheit

tw: domestic abuse, abandonment, teen pregnancy, very low self confidence, reader COULD be yuu, death, rook hunt

masterlist<3

well, let's start from the beginning

what first caught Vil's attention during orientation was your beauty. a student that would certainly be sorted in Pomefiore

a beautiful student with beautiful shining eyes that looked like they had stars in them and a cute smile

but he also noticed something else..

your hand was softly touching close to your stomach, as if you were hurt there

well, despite all that you got sorted in pomefiore, woooo!

during your time in the dorm, the dormleader noticed a few more things about you

one thing was the bubbly, cheerful personality

and another was the skill for dancing and singing. almost as if you were a trained professional

he admires that

if he were to find out that before this you were an idol, he'd respect you for that. he knows how challenging industries can be and how high the expectations from fans can be

and if you were closer and you were still an idol, he might help you and support you when the pressure is getting too much

now, let's say that you two are close enough to share personal personal stuff

firstly, he wouldn't judge if he were to learn about Ruby and Aqua and about the whole teen pregnancy thing in general

again, he'd admire your dedication to both your kids and being an idol, despite being just a teen

(and he'd find and suggest you the best products to get your skin/hair/etc back to normal if they were affected by the pregnancy)

and he'd let you rant about the twins while he was getting ready, doing skincare and all

i also think he'd be very sad when hearing about your past with your mother, and how she abused and abandoned you

he was lucky enough to be close with his father, but he feels bad you couldn't have that with your mother

he'd stay by your side at nights when you'd have breakdowns about your past, your mother, your kids, the pressure of being an idol and blah blah blah

and if he heard that you think you're incompetent and useless? nono, he won't be having that

while not being too obvious, he'd subtly compliment you on your skills, not your appearance, but your skills, slowly helping you build up the confidence you need

and let's just say you happened to, you know, tell him about how you got stabbed

he'd freak out, making sure you're alright,but he'd be sad that someone would do this to you

if you two were very close, he might even need reassurance sometimes, late at night, to make sure that you're alive, that you're there

ALRIGHT, SMALL FIC SECTION, WOOO

it was the day of orientation. a few students caught the young actor's attention, one of them being you. a young student with eyes that shined like the stars and a soft smile

he wasn't surprised when you were sorted in pomefiore. It was expected. and throughout your time in pomefiore, he observed you a bit, just like he did with the rest of his dorm members to ensure that there were no "rough patches" in pomefiore

that's when he noticed your bubbly, cheerful personality. a happy student with a soft smile, who never showed any ill intentions or thoughts about their dorm mates

and during events, he noticed your skills in singing and dancing. you moved around with precision and easiness, while your voice was smooth and trained. you were either very talented, or trained by a professional

but he also noticed a certain..habit of yours. when walking, sitting, waiting, you'd place your hands in the center of your upper body, as if you could feel something bothering you there

it was, odd, but not a sign of bad manners, so he let it slide

and slowly, the two got closer..and closer. you were friends now, close ones at that. so it wouldn't hurt to tell him a few things about yourself

so one night, when everything was getting too much, you hesitantly visited the dorm leader. while he did start lecturing you about messing both your and his sleep schedule, he stopped once he realised how distressed you were

he let you sit down on his bed, and with his focus entirely on you, he listened to you

he listened to your story about your mother, how she abused you until she got in jail, leaving you in an orphanage that she never picked you up from

it left a sour taste in his tongue, he couldn't fathom what he'd so without his father's support..but you didn't have what he had. it was..sad to say the least

while softly comforting you, he listened you you more. he learned about how you became an idol through lying to appear as confident, while in reality you believed you were a goof-for-nothing teen

he could kind of relate to that. pretending he felt alright and was the best, while in reality he was envious of his rival and felt like he couldn't reach him

he made a mental note to help you build up your confidence, whether that be by compliments or by other means

you started tearing up more when you told him about your twin babies, afraid of his judgement about your teen pregnancy..but it never came. instead, he praised you for being able to balance your career as well as the upbringing of your children. it was admirable, it must've been difficult

he let you ramble about the two blonde rays of sunshine, the two kindergarteners that were the ones who taught you what love truly meant

and then you told him something that made his heart stop..

you had been stabbed, in front of your two kids. you had been stabbed in the place you always kept your hands over, as if you could blfeel the knife

you had died, and woke up here...somehow

you cried and cried about leaving your two kids behind, leaving everything you had with them behind

meanwhile, he was shocked, that piece of information scared him. what if one day, just how you mysteriously appeared in twisted wonderland, you just disappeared

but the night ended with him comforting you gently

he was scared of losing you, sometimes he'd send off his vice housewarden to check up on you, make sure you weren't.. dead again

but at the end of the day, it was all alright. you were alive and well, and he was there to support you

who knows, maybe he'll also teach you what love is

a/n: WOOOO I DID THIS, SORRY FOR BEING SLOW DEAR ANON, I WASNT ON TUMBLR THESE PAST FEW DAYS BUT WOOOO! ALSO, I MIGHT WATCH THE ANIME AT SOME POING, WHILE DOING RESEARCH IT MANAGED TO CATCH MY ATTENTION

alright, phan out✌️

A Word-Filled Update

that no one's asking forrrr~

Sooooo, hiya~ ^^

Realized I kinda dropped out without much word, and wanted to give a lil update to anyone who may care, (and specifically to all the unfilled requests that have been sat in my inbox for months now T~T)

Dropping it under a cut because it gets quite long~ but I'll also TL;DR it with: been a bit burnt out, trying to get back into this, I apologize for all the unanswered asks, and I will be trying to get to the ones I can, but I'll be focusing more on trying to enjoy the process of making content~ Thank you to anyone who's stuck around <3

(Tw for brief mention of mental health/neurodivergencies~ nothing in depth or dark, but just incase anyone wants to avoid that <3)

Nothing serious has been going on, mostly just burn out and a bit of drama in main friend group, combined with free time just being a lot more limited recently~ (not a bad thing, most of it is because I'm getting to talk more with friends I've gotten closer to this past year~)

That said, I've been trying to get back into content, making it, reblogging it, etc, without letting it become all-consuming. I find, with the way my brain works, mostly to do to some wonderful neurodivergent tendencies, I tend to fall heavily into 'all of nothing' mentality.

This shows up in my day to day life, (ie: can't wash the dishes for weeks until I suddenly do them all in one day) and I've definitely noticed it with content creation. Need to write and finish a story in one go, record a wav as fast as possible, always afraid I'll lose that motivation.

But honestly? I love making content on here! And I'm not a huge blog, nor do I care if I am (at least trying not to, if I'm being painfully honest~) but I genuinely love making content. Whether it's just for me, a request that I am hoping one specific person will enjoy, or a story I write with a community in mind, I just love creating~

So, I'm trying to ease my way back into this! Bit by bit, let it be fun, and enjoyable, with less internal pressure to produce as much as I can, as fast as I can, and make it be perfect.

I won't lie and say 'numbers don't matter to me', if I'm honest, they do. But I'm learning more and more how to let it be about the content, and to just enjoy the process~ (and if people like it, that'll be a wonderful bonus!~)

Wooo this is getting so long, I apologize sincerely! Last thing, something I've mentioned a few times previously but never really let myself get into... requests~

I'm so honoured that people care about my content enough to have asked for things, and getting any ask, request, praise, ask lists, heck even just a 'hi!' is honestly the best part of this blog for me!

Buuuut, I definitely worked myself into burn-out before with a "every request needs to be filled and fast" mentality, that led to just... not filling any.

So! I'm going back through my inbox, and deleting some older ones that I don't have a clear vision/motivation for. I apologize to anyone who requested them, though by now it's possible they're long gone~ But I think this will help me not only start enjoying the creation process without feeling so overwhelmed, but also start actually getting more content made~

There are definitely a bunch that I still adore, and am thrilled to get to test out, but if there's one you remember sending, and you really want to see it completed, please feel free to send another ask saying what it is you want done, and I'll see if I can get that going <3

And if you've stuck it out to the end here- uh hi! ^^ I'm sorry this is so long, I'm such a words person, but I appreciate you so much, not just for any support you've offered, but just bothering to read this <3 I genuinely didn't expect most to make it this far, so thank you so deeply <3 and I hope to see you guys around as I start reblogging stuff more!~

#waterfalltalks #waterfallrambles #more like waterfallparagraphs im so sorry hahaha #been thinking about making this for awhile- but always felt so anxious??? #idk why specifically... maybe cause i cant be short to save my life #or maybe because it feels like ive left it too long?? been promising so much and never fulfilling #but i am gonna try!! not to fulfill everything but- to start enjoying it again #i worry this comes off like i have an ego... i really dont haha~ i dont expect anyone to really interact with my blog or care #it was always meant to be for ME- and i just hoped to create things ID enjoy and that #if anyone else enjoyed it too that i could start giving back to the community thats given me so much content ive adored #anyways this is a LONNNGGG post and so are these tags hahaha~ #using this blog as a journal again i think! but its mine! so okay! im gonna let myself! #gonna add here too that i might be reblogging with shorter tags for a bit- i promise its not cause im not excited!!! #just trying to make it the least overwhelming situation so i can start really getting back into ENJOYING it~ #thank you to anyone who read this far and a huge thank you to all my friends from here and anyone who stuck around <3 #i appreciate and love you all so dearly <333 #not snz

[yourlocaldisneyvillain]

hii <3

i indeed would like to ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story :))

your rambling is everything, so go wild on poor little meow meow Larissa and our favourite menace Wednesday hehe

hiiiii!!! sorry it took me a bit before my brain got less mushy and i could string coherent sentences together! i'm still very much sick though so excuse me if i ramble a bit too much lol.

okay so these two live in my brain rent free now. it started off more as a challenge? or something to be like wooo controversy, and like. how can i make this work. but even though it started that way i never intended it to be like, badly done. from the get-go i put a lot of thought into it and wanted to actually make the story as high-quality as i could in terms of character development, their relationship and all the technical aspects (you know as you are one of the betas haha, and you know how many times i tweaked things, proofread, and how many times zephyr and i went through it). like i wanted to develop it as much as one can reasonably do in 14 chapters without getting sidetracked. and that was supposed to be the gimmick, like oh some ppl are gonna think it's controversial but it is actually well done and they might still be inclined to read it if they just bothered to try! (like a naive lil disney princess i forgot this is the internet lol)

the more i got into the story, the more i adored these two and their dynamic, or rather the dynamic i created for them. i think they just work, or more like, i've made them work. ppl have accused me of being a pedophile multiple times in the last couple of weeks while i've been posting the story lol, and asked me if i ship them in the show now, which is imo just fucking ridiculous. this is a separate universe that builds on what we had, or rather should have had, in the show, a story about two grown women who are both very odd in different ways and have found love and belonging with each other. i think neither of them could do a conventional relationship in my universe, and so this makes perfect sense for them!

i love writing larissa as a poor lil meow meow. there is just something about a pathetic, lonely middle aged woman that makes my brain go brrrrrrr. and wednesday is just a delight to write. i love channeling her voice. i used to be a lot like wednesday as a teen lol, that's sorta how i talked (i had no friends lol), so channeling her is a fun blast from the past and feels very natural to write.

it was a joy to write tbh! and personally, i don't think it's like.... even that out there or particularly (hehe) controversial? it's very much a coming of age rom-com sort of thing, but make it like... Quirky and include some dark humour. the outraged reactions i got to it honestly made me wanna write actually controversial stuff lol. i tend to want to spite the haters :)) and prove my point that fiction is fiction. i am very annoyed by the whole puritan internet culture, it really fucking irks me, esp when it's enforced by the self-proclaimed weirdos and goths and whatnot, who don't know what pedophilia even is lol nor could recognise it in fiction or real life. i know i won't get my point across to people who have already made up their mind about me being the actual pedophilic devil, but i will sure have my fun! i can't wait to challenge myself again! :))

also "particular" really inspired me to write longer works!! and i learned that i am most comfortable with that sort of format. all the things i am planning in the future are multi-chapter fics and rather long! and how i prefer to do it now is to write it all in advance and then post -- that way i know i won't lose interest midway haha. i am motivated by that sweet dopamine of wanting to share my work!

so yeah, i met some lovely people bc of this story (looking at you @the-frankenman-writes, actual gem and joy and delight), i strengthened some friendships, and i think it definitely made an impact on people! i grew a lot as a writer and it pushed me to refine my skills! so all in all, i'm very happy <3

stay tuned for the last chapter!!! a christmas special! :)))

Would .. would you mind telling us about your clover fanon.. I am so very curious they’re my darling ever

sorry i read this and went "i should answer that" and then i forgor. i just rembdered though! some fucked up themes tho. animal death + general mommy issues and he has some Mental Problems <3 also off the bat. he's Soooo unlabeled to me but uses he/him and kisses boys. i dont think he really cares abt the pronouns though either hes literally just hanging out. ok so! First and foremost. The reason he is Like That is because he is [sparkling emoji] one of white lily's experiments! Particularly she took a deer from the millenial forest [holy animal], sacrificed it, and baked it into a cookie [she left the lily villiage at some point in the past but knows the forest's secrets still so. lol]. however he didn't really turn out and the powers he Did get from it aren't replicable,,, at this point she hasnt gone Completely off the deep end so she doesnt completely abandon him like she does for crepe later but he Did feel fundamentally unwanted and kind of just. Left her grove seeking to fufill what she wanted out of him [not realizing he's a failure by principle no matter what he does] he is by most means a wanderer. picks up his lute, grows fond of the forest animals as he travels along [avoiding villiages because well. he is kind of a freak of nature and also just general Tism makes him seem like much more of a possibly ill-willed cryptid than he is]. he has a very strong desire to become what his mom wanted from him but also develops an appreciation for the world and wants to see more of it. eventually finds himself in the millenial forest [and lily villiage],,, and while they do welcome him its clear with the way they look at him he is the Outsider and very fucked up . eventually speaks to millenial himself and he takes pity on him and gives him what he wants [immortality] so he can live up to his purpose and keep traveling the world. Eventually as a bard once he realizes thats a thing that exists. and honestly once he comes to terms with how he'll never have a relationship with his mom [the lily grove, a mess of illusions, doesnt really let him in deep enough to where she is] he just doesnt hang onto it and does what he planned to. he has to bear the horrors of immortality but honestly it isnt,,, too terrible with his aloof nature? Like. Immortal or not he's perfectly used to his animal companions dying over time and he mostly has superfiicial relationships with other cookies. i'd say the worse thing for him is he's very,,, distant a lot. it's also part of the learned mentality of a bard/storyteller [watch what happens and remember it instead of engaging in it] and learning Things Hurt once they go away in his immortality. he's been around 2-300 years and is mostly just chill. has leaned into that cryptic guy of the woods thing a bit. he really is just hanging out. he's also probably a little traumatized from all the shit hes bore witness to [especially the dfw when he put together the dots of wl's experiments and de's goals] but idk. he just generally does not caare. he eats poisonous mushrooms for fun ebcause theyr'e yummy and dont effect him because he's immortal/in a weird position of being almost divine with what he's made of. also some time post canon he meets a mostly-human robot [copperbell, my wife's oc] who's seeing the world for the first time after being trapped in the city of wizards up until very recently. they hang out a lot. two immortal guys very passionate about music who hang out. one who's very passionate for the world and one who wants to know so much about it . yeah they're yaoi eventually . the machine and nature CAN have gay sex WOOO

#sky answers #cookie run #clover cookie #feel free [PLEASE] ask follow up questions this is just all i could think of off the top of my head

[acorncoffeeformysweetheart]

WOOO your asks are open! :D

I’ve been wondering forever about your lakeside au, could we learn some more about your oc and Deegan? & your portrayal of Deegan is my favorite I’ve been following for a while & I just love your lil characterization & pieces on him they’re so sweet & cool c:

Uhh things like how they met & how they’re doing and all that? What does your oc do, what is their story? Haha :)

Garlic Loaf in her working overall, circa 2284

Thanks, Anon, I'm blushing))

In short.

I decided to split this answer into several parts to make it easier to read.

I will never write a huge fanfic because English is not my native language, and my last lessons were about 20 years ago. I beg my pardon for the mistakes.

My Sole is, in general, a self-insert.

She is a Russian emigrant who came to USA with her parents after graduating from university. She got a degree in organic chemistry and worked in one of Boston brewpubs as a brewer and bartender. There she met her husband, also Russian.

She was 29 when the bombs fell, and the entire events of the game took approximately 3 years.

Loaf helped Preston and stayed with the Minutemen for quite long time. Preston gave her that nickname: "What is the thing that everyone likes, even though it’s not obvious? Garlic Loaf! Just like you." No one could pronounce her real name correctly, and she remained Garlic Loaf.

She is short and wide built. Dark gray hair, green eyes. And she has funny thick accent. she makes fun of it a lot.

Loaf does not have the simplest character; she is gloomy, direct and anxious. She often seems arrogant. But she is smart and kind. She became a truly excellent General. She supports her friends and is not rude or toxic. And she is also very tired. Always.

[getallemeralds]

he woke up one day having forgotten most of his identity and past. he doesn't remember if he had been a worgen before, but he woke up a worgen, with the bite scar still fading.

he struggled to control his worgen side at first, with disasterous results; but as his amnesia worsened, he was able to gain greater control over his wolf.

(when he "discovered" his bite after forgetting himself, his wound wasn't exactly "fresh"—even small deep wounds can take a year to fade completely, and a giant bite? that would take a while. and he was definitely worgen long beforehand.

(and from what i understand of what i've read, the feral part hinges on how the worgen feels. before being bitten and before starting to lose his memories, he had anger issues, so he already had to learn how to control his emotions, particularly his anger, beforehand. his amnesia didn't take that skill away, but it sure helped by living him less to consciously worry about. balance attained by taking stuff off the scales.)

due to his amnesia and his curse, he struggled with living in society—he could barely remember his name, much less his job or any other number of important things he would frequently lose track of.

he felt like he didn't fit in to society, and he would be outcasted and demonised everywhere he went. so he decided to live in the wilderness, away from towns and cities, as a survivalist hunter.

presently, he can almost fully control his worgen form. he survives mostly on fishing and hunting, and uses tailoring to maintain a fashionable appearance and engineering to assist himself in surviving in the wilderness.

yes, even as a survivalist, his appearance is his pride, and fashion takes priority over practicality. he may wear more practical, survivalist gear, but he does the best he can to dress to the nines.

he also goes into towns sometimes to mingle with people and show off his (human) looks, purchase neccessary supplies, sell or trade things—stuff like that. which is where i would expect most roleplaying to happen.

now, i expected people to get iffy about the "fashionista survivalist" part, but nobody has brought it up yet—only that fact that amnesia is an overused trope in roleplay that is often not executed satisfyingly, and that "worgen don't work like that!"

WOOO AMNESIAC WORGEN BUDDIES!!! my brain completely erased all memory of my worgen starting area experience so i decided to roll with it and so my guy doesn't remember it either. tfw you wake up as a wolf and decide you want to be a pirate

all of that sounds super cool though!! love the concept of that. yeah amnesia is overused but that doesnt mean it should Never Be Used Ever, and the way it intersects with his wolf side is interesting. even if it ends up not being how worgen work, the premise is unique enough that i personally would be fine with overlooking "is this super exact to canon" to engage with it

i do also love the idea of walking into the woods to see a sharp-dressed wolfman though. what do you even do in that situation

Review: Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett

Audience: Everyone

Stars: 4.5/5

dear radish, 

I really enjoyed this book! It is the second book in the Emily Wilde series. I read the first book (Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries) last year and had a grand ol’ time. Really happy to say that this latest installment keeps up the quality. 

Highlights ft. some spoilers from Book 1:

Having each chapter be a journal entry remains great.

It’s so funny how many times Wendell’s name came up in the first few pages of the book. Haha we know who’s on your mind Emily. 

That said, the relationship between Emily and Wendell continues to be delightful and so sweet. Sometimes the chemistry tends of fizzle out after couples get together, but not here! Because both characters continue to be their wonderful selves independent of the other, and that's great!

Emily herself remains a stellar character. Girl is still out here angering villages with her lack of social grace (RELATABLE). As someone who fumbles social etiquette on the daily, I really appreciate this aspect of her characterization. I love how she also recognizes this as a weakness and is shown to make efforts to learn from past mistakes! More generally, I love that Emily owns up to the consequence of her actions and does her best to fix things! We love Emily!

The footnotes at the end of each chapter continue to be A+. I read this book on my Kindle, so I wasn’t flipping back and forth between my current spot and the end of the chapter for the notes. Regardless, they were still delightful to read and provided such a nice means of random world-building. 

More highlights ft. spoilers from Map of the Otherlands:

Does Wendell roll through as an overpowered Fae prince easily solving plot problems one or two more times than one may realistically expect? Yes. Do I care? Not at all. We stan Wendell. 

Emily struggles to show her affection for her niece. As someone raised in a household with complicated family dynamics ft. adults with love languages distorted by generational and cultural gaps, I really appreciated the way their relationship developed! It was slow! It took effort! Misunderstandings needed to be addressed and previous actions need to be recontextualized. Wooo. 

Farris Rose is back and I LOVE the character development. 

So hyped for book 3!

Book Blurb ⟦short version⟧:

When mysterious faeries from other realms appear at her university, curmudgeonly professor Emily Wilde must uncover their secrets before it’s too late in this heartwarming, enchanting second installment of the Emily Wilde series.

writing ask game: 7 11 and 4?

4. Where do you find inspiration for new ideas?

it STRIKES me.

I have a few certain aus and things that follow me from fandom to fandom- ex. Labyrinth or StEx aus- and those often get rehashed by me when I find characters I like or enjoy haha.

But! Ideas can come from pretty much anywhere for me, may it be me rewatching a movie or episode, or learning more about the characters (cough, the amount of barbie rockers stuff ive found in the past few days, cough), or pretty much anything!! If I have time where I'm stuck to think, I often think about silly new ideas and such. :)

7. How do you choose which POV to write from?

This is a hard one. I guess whoever I think I will get more emotion out of OR whoever has my brain at the moment, I guess?

Let's use, for example, my current wip- it's a fake engagement fic, and I started the fic off with the character that the fake proposal is given to. I wrote out their reaction to it, because I felt it'd be more fun for me to write, and probably more fun to read the confusion! Also. POV character is favorite character heehee.

For the same pairing, I've tended to write in the other character's POV, due to the way their character fits in with my writing style/it's more fun to write in his POV, just because.

Depends on the plot and the vibes, haha.

11. Link your three favorite fics right now

RIGHT NOW ???? I'm gonna link the fics that STICK with me omg- i am pretty sure I've answered something like this before, but ill also bet that list is completely different lol- I've read SO much fanfic over my however long I've read fic

Your Fault, My Fault, Whatever - whichlights - Jay/Kai (Ninjago) - if there ever was a fic that I was COMPLETELY obsessed over it's this one. I feel like this is the fic I've read over and over and over, just because I loved it so so so much. It was essentially my lifeblood when I was in the Ninjago fandom and I honestly STILL think about it even though I have not watched any Ninjago recently other than an episode or two.

All is Fair in Love/I Will Love You Better Now- nothingwithoutyouxo - Harry/Peter (TASM) - One I've reread several times and honestly I need to read it again aghhhh.... THESE two are probably the fics that made me love parksborn so much, especially TASM. I love them SO much and !!!!!!! (To be honest I may have read these BEFORE I watched tasm, right after I watched the raimi trilogy. Oops.)

[lowkeyclueless5137]

so uhhh how many times Eugen had to escape from trouble like Esmeralda did, like using a certain handkerchief to escape by blowing into it to not only create a big cloud of smoke vanishing from the spot and somehow appearing else where(like doing all those crazy tricks Esmeralda did to well escape from Frollo at the end of the Topsy Turvy festival. Heck maybe gaining a laugh from some of the others who just happen to be seeing it) this counts from probably when he was young and had Jolly with him(probably pretending to be one of the pumpkin heads there, before Rollo himself probably found out, unless he also followed along with what his younger brother did at the time) all the way to when he is attending either noble bell college or night raven college and he had to escape trouble that way too(for example maybe in Night Raven College, helping Yuu and Jack get out of Octavinelle with the classic handkerchief[bonus if it’s the purple one with yellow stars or maybe a plain baby blue] trick so no one from Octavinelle capture them. Or the noble bell route, uhhh probably just demonstrates it in front of the night raven students at a random point in time)

Wooo! Eugen content :3

I'm also gonna take the NRC route as his cannon one, just because it gives him more opportunities to shine and grow as a character without Rollo being necessarily a major catalist(the same goes for Rollo too). :v

Now... From what I do know by reading literature depictions(dunno how international literature describes the rromi, but here at least, there are some important books with the topic we have to read and in here, they are all reffered as their old name) Is that rromi women were said to be formidable witches and even predict your future and cast enchantments on you. Hence all those tricks. They also have a quite eye catching dress-up, in terms of colors. So there is a lot of parallels to Esmeralda that work and thus, Eugen would have some of those aspects represented in one way or another.

For starters, Eugen would know all kinds of party tricks. He would make it look like magic, when in truth he uses no spells or anything, just simple eye illusions. From the dissappearing acts to pulling endless handkerchiefs out of his ear or turning a wipe into a bird. Such acts were always used to liven up the mood, but mostly to cheer up his brother after a particularly bad day.

Jolly, their goat, also knew some tricks, such as balancing things on it's head or knowing how to shake hands(hooves?) and even play dead. The goat would do those tricks mostly to make people, who don't know any better, sympathize with it and give it some extra food. Now it has to be noted that Rollo and Eugen do feed Jolly great food in reasonable amounts, but this goat doesn't get enough out of it and as such, needs to trick others behind the brothers's back for sum extra treats.

That was, of course before the accident where jolly died.

After that, it was a more sour time. Rollo attempted to firstly cheer up hs brother before dealing with his own grief over the situation. His brother was wounded after all and it was a miracle he even made it out alive. So as such, Rollo learned those tricks Eugen kept making, in hopes of making his brother return a bit to his cheery self. Rollo didn't expect to have Eugen back like nothing happened, but he wanted back to some sort of normality. And in that normality Eugen was smiling and going around getting into small shenanigans.

Now cut to NRC and Yuu first meets Eugen, who was passing by. Man was a very cheery guy and would gladly explain about the great 7 to Grim and Yuu. He does add that from where he comes, there's a historical figure known as the fair Judge. So he gives that extra insight to Yuu and Grim, just to show that the great 7 did some exceptional things that the fair judge never achieved if they got famous all around the world.

But Eugen starts with them in another order: The sea-witch, the fair queen, the king of beasts, the god of the underworld, the thorn fairy and finally, Grim brings up that he jumped over the 7th one, the one behind him. Eugen reassures that first he wanted for him to be also able to point which was which after all.

But here comes Ace and explains about the queen of hearts. And the prologue rolls similar to cannon, mostly since Eugen just got off by having his dissapearing act and Azul grounded him for the day because of causing mayhem.

Eugen again is re-meet in book 2, when he says that some Octavinelle magishift players got wounded and he had to help around with their shift changes. Azul of course wasn't happy the slightest for the sudden accidents increase. So Eugen accepts to help out Yuu and Adeuce with their investigation, if he gets to play on the Ramshackle team(Azul was a mama hen and didn't want the child™ to be hurt in a 'sport for brutes') So with this conditions, Eugen is on with the investigation team.

Rollo also sees the magishift exhibition match and cusses Draconia for this.

In book 3, Eugen got for free the notebook (the twins tease Azul about it relentlessly) And he shared it with Yuu at co-joined study dates that Adeuce and Grim dipped on. Jack was also there and he pointed out how it sounded like a sus thing. So Eugen explains how Azul even made this notebook, which was absolutely bonkers that someone poured so much effort in a guidebook to help you study.

But the anemones pop up and Jack with Yuu give Eugen a side eye like 'didn't you forget to tell us the part where we people get enslaved?'. Eugen, poor clueless Eugen, had 0 idea about this.

Of course, this stirrs up a very nasty argument with Azul. Damn the twins got some tea and popcorn cuz it was that 'mom-son' argument they had to witness.

So Eugen helps Yuu and Jack screw over Azul. He additionally gets kicked out, but he ends up sleeping at Heartslabyul since Leona didn't want to deal with 'that cephalo-punk's bastard child'.

Yuu and Grim are worse tho :'3

But they do screw over Azul. And Eugen feels like he has an apology to get from Azul. But also apologise for being a bitch too during their argument. Alas, things were said and done and nothing could be made to change them. :'3

Scarabia goes like in cannon, cuz Eugen went home and ranted to Rollo about all the adventures he had.

VDC has Eugen trying out to audition, but he gets rejected. He's a great dancer but not so great singer. :'3

Book 6 also has Eugen out of it.

And that's when we have the glorious masquerade, where it goes just like I answered a few asks ago :v

[old-scalebag]

abatina :   is there anything in life your muse has changed their mind about over time   (   due to becoming more educated on the topic ,   certain experiences  ,   etc .   ) ,    or that they   would   change their mind about under certain circumstances ? 

Some light headcanons before spoilers. Damn this became long, hope it makes sense. Putting it under read more because of spoilers at the bottom but also mostly because this got long>.<

I headcanon the old geezer as once having been much stricter. Stiffer and more serious kind of person who didn’t make jokes. Didn’t know when to let down and stoic as stoic comes. His educations was also bare bones when it came to the bird and beast laguz, along with the beorcs. The dragon tribes weren’t isolated way back then. They also weren’t united. However general attitudes were low towards the bird and beast laguz (Dragon superiority bells faintly ringing) and this attitude doesn’t change in just one or two generation of dragons. Easily perpetuated, it was taught to him. This is were some of his pride stems from. Dragon numero uno y’know.

So his time in Tellius, before the flood and after it, saw a change in this mind set. As he needed to interact with other kinds of people more. It had him see value in other things in life, other aspect. Other kinds of strength an individual could have and still be worthy. Of others mistakes. He gained wisdom and used it to further his own means. However, it was more with his interactions with the two other champions and Asheras companion that really mellowed him out. A little bit. Natural respect came to the goddess companion and her other chosen champions. But they earned more of it through their own merits. The kind of character they were. What he’d learn from them. They’re similarities. Their dreams. He adored them.

That said, the flood and the war that followed really cemented the “dragons cannot interact with other people equally.” It was a thought and a quite part of his ambitions while serving his duties. And throughout his attempt and labour in trying to unite the dragon tribes. Dragon to dragon conflicts were a lot simpler to deal with than a dragon to beorc or other laguz. As those were a lot messier and caused more heart ache when they occurred…

Although it was well and good for everyone to get along. A dragon could never be a true equal to others not of their kind. Violence would follow. So it was best for them to keep to themselves. To isolate themselves. A dragons business is a dragons business. Only another dragon could handle a dragon. Not the other short lived races and physically weaker ones. End of story. In the art book it mentions it was a way to preserver and keep their unique culture as well. Which tells me that he’s witnessed attempts to integrate into other laguz and beorcs cultures that he did not like. That stripped a dragon of who they are. Seen others people’s villages and home scorched to the ground. Other people killed. His people killed. Dragons were not always untouchable.

Now whether he soften just a little bit in his stance or double down on it during his time here. Time can only tell

Now for the spoiler! Wooo. Stop reading if you don’t want to be spoiled

part 4 rebirth 3, after you defeat him and in the base convo Ancient History. The lie of the branded that he created and perpetuated, In game it’s stated that they should have told everyone the truth. However given the chance to change the past. To change how the course of history went… he wouldn’t. Not because he prefers how things went but because of a kind of cowerdice and fear. Of not knowing how much worse it could have been if people did know. Of what worse things that could occur. Would occur.

Having stood at the sideline of history for a long while. Dheginsea knows how something can be twisted and used. After all if Dheginsea could do it, he doesn’t want to imagine in what ways the information could have morphed into. In what harsher and worse ways it could vilify and prosecute the branded then what history knows current.

Points at the civil war that occurred in Bengion and the origin of the term human and sub-human. Point at history in general.

Tag 9 people you want to get to know better

Thanks @feralremains for the tag! I'm just gonna follow your lead for what to post about!

Most recent ship: I would say Hannigram but I actually watched Our Flag Means Death for the first time more recently than Hannibal, so I have to say GentleBeard even though I am currently obsessed with Hannigram.

Most written about ship: Again, I would say Hannigram because I've posted the most about them, but I haven't actually written anything substantial about them (in terms of word count). I did once write a 45,000 word fic for a different fandom, but it was an x reader so I can't count that either really. Given all that, I think the ship I've written the most for is Yona/Hak from Yona of the Dawn. I've written about 9,000 words of fic for the two of them.

Ship that got me into fanart/fanfic: As far as fanfic goes, I started out writing almost exclusively x readers for a bunch of different fandoms. I'm pretty sure the first actual ship I wrote a fanfic for was Destiel. As far as fanart, I don't actually spend a lot of time drawing the same character or ship over and over in most cases, but I do remember that the first ship I ever drew fanart for was Mika/Yuu from Seraph of the End:

It's not a great piece of art but I drew it when I was 15 and my art has improved a lot since then. You can also see (what I think is) my most recent ship art below of Yona/Hak from Yona of the Dawn:

First ship: I mean Avatar: the Last Airbender came out when I was just a little kid, so I can't say I shipped it the same way I understand shipping works now, but I remember watching it and being like "Ew why is Katara with Aang she should be with Zuko."

Last song I listened to: Last song I listened to was Polyphemus from EPIC: The Cyclops Saga. If you haven't heard of the musical EPIC, I would definitely recommend checking it out. It's not entirely released yet though. Only two sagas are out and I think the creator (Jorge Rivera-Herrans) said there's a total of nine sagas.

Last movie I watched: My friends and I have a movie night every Friday, and this past Friday, we watched The Princess Bride and Pride and Prejudice. Also let me tell you, movie nights have greatly changed since the soundboard was introduced to discord. There's nothing like hearing Mr. Darcy say "I love... I love... I love you." followed by a vine boom.

Currently reading: I'm trying to get myself into reading Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. I'm 2 chapters in but my brain keeps wanting to gravitate towards the fanfiction world, so I'm actually currently in the middle of rereading the Hannigram fic Ethics and Aesthetics by FragileTeacup on AO3.

Currently consuming: I just finished stress-eating a bunch of chicken nuggets while sitting on the bathroom floor WOOO! My cats came to comfort me and also to try and steal some chicken nuggets.

Currently craving: idk a lot? I want a jamocha shake from Arby's but there's no Arby's near my house. I want to learn how to rollerskate but I'm afraid of breaking my spine again and I was never good at it even as a kid. I want to see my big sister but she and her husband are too busy for us until Christmas (but not for other friends and family).

Titans 4x01

SPOILERS AHEAD

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!

WOW, it feels like centuries since I've sat down and written a Titans review.

(Guess who's back-ack-ack...back again-ain-ain...Titans' back-ack-ack...tell a friend-end-end.)

First things first:

Dick & Kori:

-I have never been more well fed than I was today. First scene together and they are these cute little jellybeans I wanna squish!

-Dick's shirt is extra extra tight, like Kori's dreams from the 80s comics tight and open top button. *chefs kiss, thank you costume dept.

-Them both reflecting on the events that apparently only happened a week ago...a week ago, that is the amount of time that has passed. Which I thought maybe it would be a few weeks later. Not 7 days.

-Dick remembering all the things Kori has been battling since meeting her, and listing them on his fingers. Sir? My dickkory heart could not handle this.

-Kori admitting she finally felt free. YASSSSSSS tell Dick that you feel at peace and content beautiful woman.

-I need a moment to address Brenton's ability to show so much emotion with his eyes. I mentioned this last season as well when it came to the Mar'i scenes, but this man could convince me he was in love with a slice of toast.

-Oh!!!! and Dick being confirmed as a Wooo Girl was everything, I fucking knew it!!!!

-I love that Dick is finally talking to Kori when it comes to making plans and doing things together. This is such a growth moment for Dick and I'm glad he finally made it to this point.

Okay, moving on to the rest of the episode:

Connor:

-I really feel for this kid. He's only been around for a short amount of time, but I think he's been hurt too many times.

-Clark Kent really be that dad that says he going to the store for milk and never comes back. I understand he had to go deal with Superman stuff, but a letter, really? Supes needs to get his dad game in check.

-The scene at Star Labs was really cool. Dick and Connor wearing the glasses seeing Superman flying in the galaxy was amazing. (And Dick looked 100% hot in those glasses too).

-I also liked how Dick did a double take when Connor put on the glasses and Connor was like: "What?" and Dick just shakes his head and said, "Nothing." but we were all thinking it, he is Clark through and through.

Gar:

-My bb finally using his powers recreationally?! Using an octopus arm to bowl?! Where has this been all these seasons?! I'm so happy he's turning into other things.

-His scene at Star Labs was really interesting to me. Again, this show really does neglect showing us everything. Yes, I'm glad we saw Gar in his weird dreamscape, but I also would have loved to see him rip apart Star Labs too. Show us more!!!

-I'm actually really interested in why the cult is connected to Gar so much, is it because of Rachel and their close bond? Is he a target?

-For those of you who grew up with Teen Titans, I'm getting big "Beast Within" vibes from Gar right now. Which I wouldn't be surprised at this point given Gar is going to have to figure out control when turning into these other creatures.

Tim:

-Oh my little boy, Timmy. Tim Tim TIMMMM. He wants to be Robin soooooo bad but Dick has him on a baby leash which I think is hysterical. But Dick is right, he needs to learn more before getting handed the cape. Plus, the scene where he hugs Dick thinking he made him a suite was too precious. I really hope when the time comes that Dick goes all out when he gifts him his suite. It'll be a big moment for Tim.

Kory:

-I love that they scanned Kori at Star Labs. She needs to know what she's capable of and what she can do with her new powers.

-Kori kicking ass in Lex's home, ummmm yes please. Her and Dick both being on the same page of not letting Connor go in blind was such a great move. Lex always has another motive. And they were right. Lex was dying and wanted nothing more than to use Connor (or so I thought).

Dick:

-"I hate ninjas." nuff said.

Sebatian:

-I love Joseph Morgan. This man could read me the dicitonary and enamor me. but I'm really interested in how he is connected to the cult and why all this blood keeps appearing everywhere.

Overall, a great first episode. I did think it was a little dry for a season premiere, but I'm happy to be back and active in this fandom again. i have high expectations for this season and hope to see where this storyline goes!

[stevesbigbazoxngas]

i give you more steve headcanons!

1.) steve can hit the splits somehow, and he can do cartwheels and shit like gymnastics, he kinda learned from watching black widow since she does those things.

2.) steve likes little snacks like oreos, chips ahoy, and cheetos that kids eat, he loves them, he doesn’t like hot fries and hot cheetos, he’d start coughing and choking.

3.) steve secretly has a pair of glasses, he uses them to read, he got called four eyes from bucky and sam, which resulted in him not wearing them often.

4.) his accent comes out when hes pissed or excited, his Brooklyn accent will definitely come out when hes pissed off about something like where his shield is, he’d start yelling and getting excited about going to 9 or something.

AHHH THANK YOU FOR THESE YES.

Okay! Yes Steve definitely knows gymnastics and is just shamelessly doing backflips all the time because "WOOO YEAH I CAN DO THIS STUFF NOW" I think alot of its def Nats influence but ALSO I think Steve had a lot of trial and error in figuring out how to maneuver himself like that from his USO tour days. Like i just imagine Steve in his hotel room somewhere jumping off his bed to practice a move and like slipping and falling on his face. HaUAGSHAH.

YES HE DOES YES HE ABSOLUTELY DOES! He gets the mini sizes every time!!! He constantly has them in the pockets of his jackets and sweaters and so sometimes he forgets about them and goes to put his hands in his pocket and he just "ommggg nat looookkk i left snacks in here😍" also. Yes. He grew up in the Great Depression, there is no way in hell he'd be able to handle spicy chips😭😭

THE GLASSES THING OMG THATS SO CUTE. I imagine Steve going ☹️☹️☹️ when Sam and Bucky teased him omg. This is so cute Steve having a pair of reading glasses omg🥺

YES. YSS YES YES. I LOVE THE ACCENT THING. I feel like also when he gets stressed you can hear his brooklyn accent, one day while they were on the run and it was really early in the morning, Steve opens the door to the fridge in their hotel room and is like "AWH who drank AWL the MILK" or a different time Steve was like "all i want is some damn CAWFEE" oh god, I imagine Steve also teases Sam with "AYY, IM WALKIN' OVA HERE!" All the time😭

#THESE R ALL SO GOOD #steve rogers #steve rogers my beloved #sam wilson #bucky barnes #steve rogers headcanon

[electric-indigo0913]

I’m so fucking gay, dude.

A lot of profanity upcoming? And not an important read. But also, I like figuring things out and I haven’t thought about this kinda stuff since my brain developed and it’s interesting.

I think about sex a lot, right? Always have. In a pleasure seeking way. In a “oh those feelings are nice” way; an entirely selfish way. Never once have I had sex with a man and enjoyed watching them cum. It’s always a confidence booster, like a “wooo I made that happen”, but I’ve never enjoyed watching or experiencing it happening. It was more like “it’s fine”.

I. Love. Watching you cum. Sorry if that’s super profane. It clearly is. But that makes a lot of sense, right? First of all because I love you; and I’m now entirely certain that I’ve never loved someone else as deeply as I love you. But also…I’m super fucking gay, dude. Goddamn I sure do love you. The first person I had sex with was a man (which also, that’s a deep dive for another day. as a warning, I’m also very time based as a person and sometime in August I will likely have a manic episode associated with that and I’m sorry in advance. August and October are typically really rough months for me for different reasons and we’ll deal with those fever dreams then).

Right. Anyway. I think it was impossible for me not to hold that experience as what was supposed to happen. Coming to terms with liking women (not actually liking in a casual way, in a like oh fuck I’m old enough that I wanna do something with this kinda way) was and still is an incredibly uncomfortable thing for me. That’s also directly related to how I was raised, I was really not raised in a way where we used “real words” or talked about feelings. They didn’t tell us about sex, or how bodies work. They opted me out of every health class. The only reason I learned what a period was is because I had unmonitored internet access and I swear to you, I learned from Wikipedia and yahoo answers. How are you supposed to tell your mom you started your period when she hasn’t even found a way to tell you what that is? (spoiler- the answer is you don’t tell her for a year until you get so tired of trying to make pads out of socks and toilet paper you actually have to say something). Sorry, rambling. It’s the shrooms, you see.

Anyway, I think that most of my issues relate to how I’m perceived by other people. Which I’m learning to give less of a fuck about, but there’s absolutely people I’m still anxious to have perceive me in any type of way. The concept of “coming out” to people is stupid, I’m not hiding shit, they’re just not asking. Does that make sense? But I still tried to do that in high school. I remember it being a way big thing that I absolutely had to do. It didn’t go great, for reference. It’s going to be really funny for the people who I confined in that we’ve come full circle. I had this dude I called my brother (absolutely convinced some people he actually was) that used to work for my mom when I was like 13. He was the first gay person close to my age that I had met even though he was like 18. We got close quickly, but he fell into drugs and shit and ended up going to jail when I was in high school. Then we did the whole pen pal thing for the years he was locked up. I had a whole box of letters and I can’t express how much he meant to me. I actually just stopped writing this so I can talk to him about this. He never shut up about how funny it was that I married a dude.

Anyway, he was the first one I came out to. Still couldn’t use my voice, I told him in a letter. Obviously he was not surprised, but he still made me feel safe. I’m not sure where I was going with this detour anymore because shrooms. He’s a great dude. He always kept me safe in a way where he never said “don’t do drugs”, but instead would say hey, here’s what to expect, here’s what dose to shoot for, also remember that if you get anxious you can do x/y/z to calm down”.

But yeah being gay makes me anxious. After all the coming out bullshit I started dating one of the girls in marching band and that shit was tight. But I was still too nervous to tell anyone or say anything in public because I gave too much of a fuck of what anyone thought.

But I don’t think it makes me anxious anymore. Because all I want to do is scream from the rooftops about how deeply I love you. I want to show you off to the world so everyone knows how goddamn lucky I am to have a human as amazing as you by my side.

[darthjonman]

Hey everyone it's me Fish here to talk about my 2 stupid cringe Minecraft ocs because I'm stupid and cringe WOOO

Okay so I should preface this by saying that a lot of what I'm talking about here is based entirely on my own headcanons/interpretations of how Minecraft works + some of it is just plain old made up. I looooooove spreading misinformation. Also I don't have any sort of drawing of them so have my shitty descriptions.

Okay so first up:

Charlie Griffin

Charlie is a 28 year old man who hails from a desert biome. Deserts are typically very scarcely populated due to the amount of monsters that inhabit them, but those who do settle there make them into pretty lawless or at the bare minimum wild places. Charlie comes from town built with the pure intention of holding prisoners and making them fight to the death. The prisoners are allowed to use weapons given to them or make their own, and the winner of a fight is given a reward in the form of a single item (within reason, of course).

Charlie found great success in the arena and crafted his own weapon, a peculiar redstone contraption around his waist. It is two long dispensers on a harness around his waist that are filled with chains. Also attached to the harness are the 5 iron heads of each main tool, which Charlie can attach to the end of the chains. Running from the back of the dispensers to his gloves are wires lined with redstone, leading to buttons on the side of his forefingers. Holding the left button extends the chain, holding the right one calls it back.

He's an incredibly loud and boisterous man, making his presence known to the people around him at all times. He knows fully damn well that he's good at killing people and absolutely loves it. He's way more comfortable in the arena than anywhere else and longs for the call of his fans as he secures another victory. Furthermore, the reason he is actually in jail is due to murder. He doesn't just casually enjoy killing however, instead he enjoys it knowing that the people he does kill are bad people as well.

While his outfit is commonly a worn out prison uniform and the chain contraption on his waist, Charlie is a tall, well-built man with long and unkempt dirty blonde hair that always has grains of sand in it and brown eyes. His body is covered in scars from plenty of different sources, and his teeth are surprisingly very white. There's a saying among his fans that if you can see the sun shining on his teeth, your time has come.

His favourite food is pumpkin pie, though due to his life as a prisoners he's become very accustomed to beetroot stew and carrots. He's never met an Enderman in real life and really wants to.

And secondly:

Luciora

Luciora is a Witch aged 231, and unlike other Witches refuses to use potions or magic to de-age her appearance. Luciora lives in a swamp inside her hut with her pet cat, Apollo. There are essentially 3 types of Witches. Wild Witches, Pillager Witches and Tranquil Witches. Wild Witches are those who wander the world without a purpose, losing their mind and attacking anyone on sight. Pillager Witches are those who aid the Pillagers in their attacks on Villagers, fully indoctrinated into the regime. Tranquil Witches are those who reside in huts in swamps. They are generally more sophisticated, calm, and helpful to those passing by.

While she is very good with potions, Luciora prefers to study enchantments, especially enchanted books. She has stashes of them in her home, and spends a lot of time reading them and learning more and more about them. The biggest thing she learned was how to utilise the enchantment without actually putting it on an item. For example, she learned to use a Frost Walker book to turn the water beneath her feet to ice without putting it on boots. It only works for as long as the book is open, but she has some degree of control of when it activates and when it doesn't.

Like most Tranquil Witches, Luciora is rather gentle and spends a lot of time at her hut. Her days are spent either reading books, brewing potions, or meeting up with other Tranquil Witches to improve the local community. She can't stand the fact that she's even remotely related to Wild or Pillager Witches, hating them for their senseless violence. While she may still be shunned by Villagers, she refuses to hurt them in any way, though that doesn't mean she actively protects them. She cares most deeply for her cat Apollo, who spends most of the day asleep. When he's not asleep, however, he is always walking all over her books and getting himself nice and wet in the swamp, then laying all over Luciora's bed.

Due to her refusal to make herself appear younger than she actually is, Luciora has pale, wrinkled skin and a large nose with a wart. Her hair is dark grey and is about chin-length, and her eyes are a pale purple colour. Commonly, she wears black robes and does have a black hat, though she doesn't wear it very often. The brim is rather large and gets in the way, so she keeps it in the house for Apollo to lie all over. She carries a few potions and books with at all times, primarily potions of healing, regeneration and swiftness, and enchanted books containing Frost Walker, Swift Sneak and Flame.

Yes, she went to the Deep Dark and collected a Swift Sneak book. She even took some skulk and put it in a jar that's on her windowsil. Apollo is her 6th cat, and so far her favourite, even if he does make a mess.

I hope this was at all interesting to read about my stupid ideas. Long ass post so I don't blame anyone for not reading this far. But if you did. You are loved and you're super awesome.
