Hi, I've been wondering for the photography AU what general time period it's set in, what type of camera(s) does Koby use (it looks like a canon to me but seems to make polaroids, at least that's the surface level observation I can make from my extremely limited knowledge on cameras), what type of photography he personally enjoys and the type he usually does for work (if he does it as his profession too). What does Koby aim to capture with his images, the casual mundane life of an average person, an unreal, etheral sight in a place the average person can't go, Luffy's luffiness, etc? Also what's the general budget Koby has towards camera equipment (doesn't need to be that exact, just a general "he's broke" or "He spends all his money on lenses" would suffice)? My questions are kinda vague here because I'm going to research more about photography later. Thanks in advance :D Oh yeah and also does Koby travel, if not what's the general landscape of his nearby area. You don't need to answer this since I'll probably make it up but it'd be good to know.
okok i wrote this all in the few free periods i got earlier take what you will ^_^
also a doodle i did ages aaaaago with a bit of slightly illegible info in my awful handwriting (sorry)
Tumblr media
actual answer vvv
- its a modern au!! so set like. now!
- koby uses sony cameras primarily but yes he does have a few canons (nikon confuses him)
- he has a seperate polaroid camera!!! he usually prints digitally from sd though
- for type of photography, he started with a passion for ocean and landscape photography, mostly beaches and any scene with water in focus. he also has an interest in portraiture but his love for portraiture only comes to play when he meets luffy. cheese cheese cheeeesyyyy because luffy smiles and hes IMMEDIATELY enamoured. anyway, he starts to study and practice portraiture in depth because of the pretty boy he met in maths class and eventually works up the courage to ask him to model for him. they get super close and eventually start dating; luffy likes how dedicated koby is to his work and how cute he is when he blushes.
-SORDY got carried away with the sappy lovey stuff. koby sells his landscape/wildlife photography at local stores as a side hustle thing haha. but he doesnt really do it professionally, he much prefers to keep it as a hobby / simple income.
- koby aims to capture the beauty of colour! he loves vibrancy when shooting with a softbox or some other source of light he will usually use something to change the hue rather than plain old bw on a simple white bg
- following on he HATES shooting black and white photos unless theyre negatives because idk i think he would think it looks cool. what a guy
- with luffy photography he just likes catching luffys smile or just luffy in general; whipped dud!!! he thinks he is gorgeous
- ahahhhh budget budgettt. lenses are fucking EXPENSIVE!!! he uses a 50mm that helmeppo got him for his birthday one year (rich kid stuff. he knew koby likes photography and searched Best Lense For People Pictures and bought the first one he saw) the 50 is canon as consequence so koby uses canon for loofy pics. he has an 18-55mm he uses as well.
- he is broke yes. koby does have a minimum wage weekend job to pay for living expenses but all in all that boys pockets are empty. luffy is the breadwinner (miss rabbit with the one zillion jobs) he works about 4 different jobs and is happy to pay for anything koby wants despite kobys adamant NOs. like i said he gets helmeppo to pay for a bunch of stuff and helmeppo pays on his dads card LOL.
- koby does travel! mainly by train or boat, not often does he go to an entirely different country but he has previously a few times. when he does go abroad he takes luffy with him!!!! (he looks pretty in the snow. he likes taking pictures of him in snow)
IM SO GLAD SOMEONE LIKES MY AU ENOUGH TO ASK ME THIS MANY QUESTIONS LMAO i had fun answering all of this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OP your addtion about the Harbinger's reaction? Sent me wheezing to the moon 🤣🤣💀
I dont have any additions to Teyvat language yet (other anons have a more in depth explanations while mine is just shitposts wheEZE--) but I did have an idea for a Genshin AU.
I'm pretty sure everybody has heard about the blue alien people Avatar. Tribal people from another planet. (Also I just stumbled upon the forests of Sumeru while going through Chasm quests. The one that has giant mushrooms).
Imagine Genshin in the Avatar Au. Sumeru can be based on the first movie (It fits cause from what I can explore of Sumeru reminds me of the time I watched Avatar of the first time. Pure awe and wonder..) While the Water nation can be based on the 2nd movie, Hoyoverse hasnt released the name of the Water Country yet so we're just waiting. Mondstadt can be based on the upcoming 3rd (4th or 5th? Idk they had it lined up) movie that involves being high above the clouds. Kind of like the Jade palace or the Floating Abode in the serenitea pot.
Its all I could base for now since the other movies dont have that much info yet to be paired with Genshin's countries.
Bonus idea that randomnly popped into my head:
Still going with this Au but its sagau themed. Creator!Reader arrives to Teyvat and is considered as Eywa
NOW THIS
THIS IS AN ✨️IDEA✨️
Tumblr media
I just want u to know i feel b l e s s e d that u put this in MY ask box , when this coulda been a whole post of ur own 💖💖🙏🙏
WARNING: So i havent seen the new movie, just the og Avatar one, and i totally loved that concept about Eywa and how their world works so ill refresh myself but if theres any new lore from the 2nd movie i aint got it yet 💁 srry babs
🎵 FROM THE DAY WE ARRIVED ON THE PLANEETTT
AND STEPPED OUT BLINKING INTO THE SUN
AND THE SUN ROSE HIGH IN A SAPPHIRE SKY
ITS THE CIRRRRCCCLLLEEE OF LIFFFFEEEE 🎵
^ except ur like the life itself bc ur god now
Thats why i put that there
This AU radiates that energy
BRO I TOTALLY FORGOT ABT U MENTIONIMG THE COOL CHASM STUFF AND PICKED THAT GIF ALL ON MY OWN
BC I THOUGHT IF ANYTHING LOOKS LIKE EYWA TREE IN GENSHIN ITS THAT BEAUTIFUL MUSHROOM GOD
ANYWAYS-
So I accidentally posted this too early so keep refreshing or coming back bc if theres no "♡the beloveds♡" im still updating this then LMAO
SRRY GUYS
So anon's a genius and i could listen to u talk about this all day
I fucking love combining world building or lore together
Esp like making one the AU or just the setting like u said with Avatar worlds as settings and same characters-
EEEEEE U ARE EYWA- YESSSSS YESSSSSS I AM YOUR GOD BITCHES!!! SUCK ON MY BIG FAT MAN TIDDIES BITCHES RAHHHHH /REF
So they deffo use "Eywa" as a term for you instead of your name
Honestly, before when u were a mysterious af planet creature thing (lets say u get isekaied there i mean)
Nobody rlly knew if u even could take a mortal form or even thought of that as a concept
I feel like the younger generations immortals and Teyvat's current countries kinda think of you Eywa as more of a passive entity life force thing
Rather than the older immortals and creatures that had seen thru eons or over the course of a couple thousand years
That u were very aware and intelligent
Not that ur energy or aura didnt tell them that alone
So a little deeper into the Teyvat lore here but i dont see anybody else talking about it so I will
Originally, it was the Seven Sovriegns and you, and eventually Phanes and their Four Shades,
And they literally all quickly came to realize u literally made this planet and began to start the first traditions of worshipping you!
Like putting gifts or hand made goods at the base
(Ppl have also gotten a tradition from Morax/Rex Lapis and Guizhong and other adepti to leave birthday letters to offer you, which ties into what i say below⬇️)
Ya know,
Eywa the tree could even be a sort of source to the eyes of Teyvat of what you look like while u were playing the game
Like how Eywa's little jellyfish reach ppl in the forest and shit? I think?
So like i would imagine that whatever u make certain vessels or acolytes do most often, is what they think they should offer u :0
Claymore users give u gemstones and ores
Bow users give u hunted game like fowl, or the treasure from puzzles that required arrows (like those bursting blue balloons?)
Catalysts and Polearms give u all kinda of crazy shit lmao
Bc they can be used for a vareity of things
Bc of ur player status and abilities, people of Teyvat attribute a gain in power or talents or whatnot to you, Eywa
So say u actually physically there now, and u just wake up under the coolest sickest tree youve ever seen in ur life
Omg could u imagine????
Seeing Teyvat irl? But AVATAR WORLD IRL???!!!
You would stand there lookin around like a drunk fuck for like 20 minutes, maybe longer lmao
Its just so ✨️pretty✨️ here
Also the tree itself just feels like, the equivalent to ur bedroom basically but like specifically if it was hella comfy and like just the way u want it (all the decor is up, the floor is clean, u got like hot choco on ur desk, theres a candle burning, etc.)
Oh so since ur like weirdly connected to the land, like u know how theres a voice line abt walking in that glowing aranara part of Sumeru and ur steps light up?
I saw that too in the OG avatar movie
So i feel like u would have a map with ALLLLL the peoples on it and little icons
U can focus on just vision users or bosses or big nature things like Dragonspine
Oh so Eywa can control all animals and whatnot and so u as a mortal person can too
So anytime theres a threat u can deadass just become a pokemon trainer LMAO
Ok but think how badass it would be to just like,
Get the Primo Geovishap or Giant Bird Jadeplume Terror thingy to just leave their territory and wipeout some mfs
(coughunknowngodasomodaycough)
It would be fucking amazing
Unrelated to above bc im just spitting out ideas srry guys
but like
I feel like if u were a lifeforce sort of ancient eldritch god for the entire goddamn continent of Teyvat let alone the whole planet-
You would have to maintain said continent/planet
Like, make sure the Irminsul is growing okay, protect from mfs like Dottore,
Stop diasters if ur Eywa too, esp bc u can hear prayers now, and would hear ppl crying out to help them geez
while the prayers of the many kinda just glob together to form the major "feeling" of the prayer for most creatures,
Vision users, gods, ancient creatures u can get their exact sentences
Basically more magic = better heard to connect with u
Oh u know, i could even see it being even more manual or personal labor bc ur not like a tree connected to ur roots thruout the world technically
Like if volcanoes erupt in Natlan, the archon and gods there help and u r also wanted/needed in person for it to work
U would still be powerful, but yeah like say the tree was u just playing genshin before,
The game automatically regulated diasters and stuff other than what was supposed to happen in game
So kinda bouncing off that I read smwhere that the Na'vi dont actually view Eywa as like omnipotent or omniscient
(like the God™️ from the Christian bible for a example of what your not)
And also! Dont blame/attribute natural diasters, plagues, or other bad stuff on Eywa
So good for you whew 💦
Ur actually supposed to kinda just be the collective lifeforce or Teyvat/world and nature, and a defender and guide of life :0
Which kinda fits with the whole "upgrading characters" thing actually
Okay but I saw somewhere in SAGAU tag someone did another name instead of Creator to spice it up and its "All-Mother"
And interestingly, Eywa in Avatar is also called that and "Great Mother"!!
How fun :0
Also, the reason Eywa still got people with free-will is bc they kinda described the relationship to Eywa being something like a mother or parent
Maybe where name/titles came from ig?
Either way, ppl be calling u all types of nicknames u aint heard before lmao
I mean ur sacred, they dont just say ur name,
Nobody knows ur real name or what u call yourself
Just what they call u
Bc they couldnt communicate with u super well before, (the bday letters were the closest they got verbally, and even then they had to be addressed somewhat to ur first vessel the traveler to get thru/be seen)
Otherwise yeah u operating them lets say before on Earth you rlly felt like an eldritch nature deity 💀
Cause u guide them in battles, strengthen their talents and skills and bodies, and feed them food
If they were in battle like needing healing food, u help them heal by consuming it for them so they dont have to take a snack break in battle and
Let me tell u, these denizens of Teyvat who have to constantly deal with magic and monsters and abyss stuff, so a stroll outside ur house gets u in a fight...
...They are very grateful for that needless to say.
Plus i like to think u make fighting easier on them bc ur "guiding" their bodies
Anyway thats a long winded way to say, help me think of all the names Teyvat's given you lmao:
Eywa
All-Mother / Great Mother
All-Father / Great Father
All-Parent? / Great Parent
Creator
Their Grace
Great Puppeteer
The Puppeteer
Soul of Teyvat
Greatest Soul
She aint long bc im not that creative and this idea has sm potential too😔
I would love to be Eywa sounds fun and powerful af and i dont get expected to be Jesus and they know i dont cause the natural diasters, like that sounds nice
Aight im no genius and this writing feels like im just rambling like a drunk guy sittin on the sidewalk mumbling to myself, i had to stop writing 💀
Like that energy specifically-
So lmk if yall got any other cool titles or names :0
I couldn't think of anymore :/
Also srry about the updating this post and making u check back in if u already read this before i put the taglist
(Me putting the taglist means im done editing/writing this dw if u seein this)
Cheers,
🌒🌧🌊Aquarius♒️🌌🌘

(@ultimateplaylistmaker you are to blame for this.
I planned to do the OTHERS parts of the alicorn!Kokichi AU, not this!
Ofjzofakslczkgitkabdvpub
Anyway, here's alicorn Kokichi in the infection AU, my version which is heavily inspired by the asks I send lmao)
Death is weird.
You don't feel anything. Actually, thank fuck because if he have to stay eternally in the state of agony he was in before dying, he would considering it hell.
Not like he wouldn't have deserve it. But still.
Anyhow, at some point when he was drifting in... limbo he guesses, he felt a pull towards... somewhere.
His soul was called somewhere and he doesn't even know where. Or why. Or even by who!
He felt himself falling, and blacked out at the moment of impact.
~0o0~
When he woke up, he immediatly noticed something was off.
First of all, the desolated wasteland (no, not this one! Fuck off Monokuma!) was a pretty good indicator that something is very wrong.
Second of all, when he bolted to get at the closest thing that could be used as a shelter, he found out that he was unable to get on his two feet. He could only walk on all four-
Wait.
Wait, wait wait, hold up a SECOND.
He lift his hand.
This is not a hand.
THAT'S A HOOF.
He's a fucking horse now? What the fuck?
...Hell is fucking weird.
Like, he would get getting thrown into a wasteland as a punishement. Makes sense. But as a horse? Okay DICE associate him 24/7 with the animal because of his name, but that's still strange.
Oh wait. He's not just a horse, he's a freaking unicorn apparently, because when he tried to put a han-hoof on his head, he got resistance.
Yep. A horn. So unicorn he is apparently. Great.
He's not in a regular wasteland, he's in a magical wasteland. He's going to see fucking pegasus next?
Nevermind, he's just going to see HIMSELF fully next! He was lucky(?) to stumble upon a shattered mirror.
Apparently he got the full treatement of magical horse. Because he's both a unicorn and a pegasus now.
Also his... well, fur? Is entierely white. His mane is the same color as his hairs, which make sense he suppose. Also thank fuck he kept his scarf. Otherwise he'd throw a fit. (Would that change anything? No. Does he care? Also no.)
He got more or less the same haircut too. His eyes are the same colors as well, so there that.
...Why the fuck does he got a tattoo on his thigh though.
A tattoo of... A purple snake -cobra apparently- with dripping fangs and a dice in its mouth. With a crown. And warped around a weird staff.
Actually it looks pretty cool, but he never wanted that thanks.
...So what does he do now?
First of all, he need to find something to eat. And water too. Because considering the state of the buildings around, he's going to bet that water isn't running anymore.
Next, a place to sleep that isn't in plain sight. If he could get a shelter from the elements, it'd be great!
Then maybe he could-
His thoughts stopped when he heard a groan.
Oops, seems like he's not alone here!
Now, the one-million question. Is it a friend or foe? In a situation like this, it's best to assume they're a fo-
WHAT THE FUCK
He doesn't know how, he doesn't know why, but when the other guy -horse really- charged at him, with obvious hostile intentions, he got blasted away by...
Purple energy?
Oh wait, he is technically a unicorn... He can do magic? Sick! Though he'll probably need to learn more about how to use it. But, more importantly...
That looks to be a very damn sick horse!
Whatthefuckwhatthefuckwhatthefuck WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!
...Oh wait.
Sick looking, stumbling around, trying to attack...
Ah shit, he got himself into a damn zombie apocalypse didn't he?
...That is NOT his day.
~0o0~
Alright. After a week or so, Kokichi successfully got a few infos.
First of all: this world is different from his. Everyone here is a horse. Or rather, pony since they call themselves that.
Everyone either have wings, or a horn, or neither. But he have yet to see one who have both, just like him.
Weird. But he suppose it's a question of chance and genes. Rare ones could create both maybe?
Anyway.
He learned that this outbreak had been going on for a little less than a month. Nobody knows where their rulers (princesses apparently) went, or if they were infected or not.
He learned how to use magic, albeit only for rough spells. Just burst of energy to send the infected away from him long enough to run away, or cut things -more like explode them...- to barricade a place.
He's been trying to learn how to fly too; apparently those infected, even if they were pegasi, didn't had the cognitive connections to know how to fly now. And even if they did, they were rare and slow. So it's a great way to get away!
The only downside is to do it in a desert area, because he have a tendency to still fall rather often. And he's veeeeery far from the steady flights he saw other survivors do.
He tried to approach a group of survivors once but... Seeing them shooting another pony not infected on sight with magic cut rather efficently that idea. He's going solo here. (Even though he would benefit GREATLY from having a source of informations about this world!)
And, well he's doing pretty good for himself all things considered. Living in the streets before is great experience for the apocalypse, what do you know! Even when you're a pony.
He stayed on his own for a good week after that. Until...
~0o0~
He was walking on the border of a road going to... somewhere, when he saw it.
A pony. Lying on the ground, whimpering.
He still had a lot of colors, but there was a clear bite mark on his leg. Kokichi grimaced.
That pony was probably travelling with a group, got bitten and left to die. Man, even in Ponyland people can be assholes.
He approach the guy cautiously. The bite looked fresh, and infected only start to lose their minds at the second stage, after a week or two if the notes he found in an abandoned hospital were to be believed, but he wasn't going to risk it.
Upon hearing hooves on the pavement, the pony looked in his direction pleadingly.
"H-Help... Please..."
Now Kokichi is a leader of evil, but he's not a heartless bastard. Besides, he does need info about this world...
"Well I'm not against it friend! But I don't know how. Can that nasty thing be stopped?"
A weak nod.
"A-Amputation."
Ah. Aoutch. Okay.
He grimaced.
"Alright then. No promise though! I'm pretty new to the "magic" stuff."
That's going to be gorey. Just great... But it's not like they have another choice.
Alright then. Let's try to pour magic over an imaginary garrot and try to squeeze and-
And the wound actually closed. The bite wasn't here anymore, and the unicorn already looked better, colors because as vibrant as they were before getting bitten.
...
Okay so that's a thing apparently? He can heal?
...Cool. He never tried to heal the infected before and now he feel kinda bad. But hey, he wasn't going to risk getting bitten himself trying to help them!
The unicorn immediatly got up and looked at itself with a shocked expression.
Then he looked at Kokichi and...
And kneeled? What the-
"I didn't realized! Oh my Lord please forgive me! Of course it make sense that a powerful alicorn such as yourself would be able to cure this horror!"
...What.
"Uh... Excuse me?"
"I owe you! I owe you my life! Order and I obey my prince!"
Hold up! Pause! What is happening?! Why is this unicorn worshipping him all of a sudden? Okay, he cured him, and it's not something ponies can do yet, but why is he treating like royalty?
...Oh no.
He said "alicorn", which is probably how they call ponies who have both wings and horn. And he heard ponies talking about their princesses before...
Ah fuck, having both is a status here, isn't it. Goddamnit.
"H-Hey now. Get up! I'm not the prince of anyone. I just arrived in this world and I have no idea what's going on!"
That didn't helped. If anything, it made things worse.
"You're a godsent then! No, no surely you must be a god to be able to travel worlds as easily as that!"
Things are getting out of hand really quickly right now.
"Okay, no, I'm not a prince, or a god, I'm just some guy! I just learned I can heal that infection thing, you're literally the only pers-pony that I help since I got here!"
"Am I? Oh my Lord, it's an honor! Please, let me travel with you! I swear on my life I will be loyal until death claim me for good!"
...That guy isn't listening to him is he?
"I'm telling you, I'm not a-!"
They both stopped. Infected coming from the town Kokichi just left were starting to head towards them.
"We gotta go." he hissed, starting to scan the surroundings for a safe way.
"But of course my Lord! Allow me!"
Before Kokichi could even sputter a word about the "I am not a god stop that" they got warped by indigo looking magic, and suddenly they were in a complete new place.
"...Where are we?"
"This is the farthest point I know my Lord. the unicorn said apologically. My magic isn't strong enough to go further."
"Stop calling me that."
He looked around. That was probably supposed to be a makeshift shed, made in urgency when the outbreak happened. Thankfully it was empty now.
"O...kay. Moving on. Err, what's your name?"
"I am Frost Blade my Lord! I was a mere ice sculptor before the outbreak and your arrival!"
"Stop calling me that."
That name sounded cheesy as fuck. But he gotta "blend in" and hopefully get this pony's ideas about a god out of his head. A name out of this world -literally- would only fuel his delirium.
Now to find a name... Oh wait.
That pony also had a thigh tattoo. Being of an ice pick and a chisel...
He's going to bet that everyone's name here is going to be related to that tattoo.
Now...
Oh well. You know what?
He just got out of a killing game by dying, only to wake up in a zombie apocalypse except that everyone's a pony. And there's magic.
Unlucky but in an unbelievable way...
"Call me Snake Eyes."
"Of course my Lord!"
...It's going to be long.
~0o0~
At least he gain something from this whole mess.
Yes, reminding the other unicorn that he's NOT a god on a daily basis is annoying, but at least he got magic lessons out of this.
Frost Blade have been more than happy to help out.
So now Kokichi can teleport. Go him! And pick things up with magic.
Also, he's able to cut things more precisely. Having an ice sculptor is actually useful in a case like this.
They travel to what might have been night in a normal world. Apparently, the princesses he heard about earlier were responsible for rising the sun and the moon. All they know is that one day, the sun rose never to go down again.
Nobody knows what happened to the two princesses.
"But of course, the two sisters are nothing compared to you my Lord! You're the only one that can fight off this horror, while they surely have succumb to it!"
Kokichi REALLY hope that he'll never run into them. With that idiot loudly claiming what can only be insult to royalty, they'd end up in prison for sure.
He hadn't tried to heal more infected. The ones they encountered were all too far gone for his beginner level healing.
Until he ran into a group, that apparently just got out of a confrontation with a hoard of infected.
Of the five ponies here -two earth ponies, two unicorns and one pegasus- three had clear bite marks. Fresh too.
Obviously Frost Blade was about to go rambling to them about his healing ability, but he stopped him. He had better plan
"Hey there!" he said with a smile.
Everyone looked at him with a mix of confusion, shock and distrust. Which, yeah fair.
"You seemed to be a in a bit of a situation. What about a deal! Your pegasus friend teaches me how to fly and I heal your nasty bite marks. Sounds good?"
Obviously they were wary. Who wouldn't? But Frost Blade was back in action, singing his praises with such conviction that they gave in. After all, what did they had to lose?
Kokichi grinned. Now he could get to fly at least. Not that there was a particular urge, they weren't getting spotted often and could use magic to defend themselves... But fuck it, he got wings so why not! Flying sounded cool.
But he kept his end of the bargain of course. Couldn't get a lesson if the guy was infected!
So he poured magic in the bite wounds and prayed it'll work. And... surprisingly, it did!
It left him really tired, but it worked! And everyone was looking at him flabbergasted. Asides from Blade Frost of course. Who looked really smug actually!
"See? What did I told you ponies? He's a god of health!"
"Will you stop that! I'm not a god!"
"But you're an alicorn." pointed out one of the earth ponies.
"Yeah so? I'm not from this world! I can't even fly yet."
"That's because you're new. I'll teach you, as a payement. It won't be hard..."
"Yeah, and we're following you my Lord!" added one of the unicorn.
Goddamnit, them too? This is going to become a cult at this point and he does NOT like it.
"Stop calling me that I have a name! And it's Snake Eyes thank you. I'm not a god!"
"Hard to believe that when you healed the infection that took our princesses away!"
~0o0~
...They're starting to find arguments, it's becoming a bit scary.
They found more infected after that. And things were always the same.
He healed them if they were early stages, or made everyone run away if they were late stages. The one he healed kneel before him and swore undying loyalty -WILL THEY STOP THAT- and join him while treating him like a deity.
After a month or so of travelling and gathering ponies, he ended up with at least fifty damn horses treating him like a god!
And it's really fucking creepy. He had to stop them giving him daily sacrifices too, they were going way too far!
The problem he had was simple: he need them to stop treating him like a damn god, but also he needed to be able to lead them. Because if he lose authority, he'd have fifty very angry ponies against him, and even with a pretty good hold on magic, he have zero chance.
However, things changed when two ponies arrived, seeking his help.
Word had travelled fast about his ability to heal the infection, and he unfortunately had to turn away those with a too advanced state because he couldn't heal that yet.
Oh he'd give it a shot of course! But if he failed, he'll just say he can't heal it and the infected have to be put down. (You'd think that witnessing their so-called "god" failing at something would wake them up, but NO SIR! They'd twist the story saying that his magic can tell who had been a good pony or not, and if it didn't worked you weren't virtuous enough. Wow. Just, wow.)
(He'd apologize personally for their behavior in secret way too many times to count.)
But here it wasn't the same thing.
"You can heal the infection right? she'd say. So heal my sister!"
Kokichi ignored the crack of her voice, and rather stared at the filly hiding behind her sister's hooves.
That's. a. child. A filly. Whatever. IT'S A KID!
He can't turned down a child! No matter if her state was way more advanced than what he heal usually.
He have to. He can't fail a little girl.
"I'll do it." he said softly, gesturing to the girl to step forwards.
"Sweetie Belle. her sister said. Come on now. He can heal you. It's going to be okay. You're going to feel better."
The filly took some hesitant steps forwards. There's definitely a hunger in her eyes and he doesn't like it.
She have the beginning of fangs coming out of her mouth, and her colors are already fading.
She's going to go through the second stage very soon if he doesn't do something quickly.
"Where did you got bit?" he asked, because it's way easier if he can directly pour magic inside the source of the infection.
She's shaking, but she lift her left hoof which have a bandage.
"Yikes! Must have hurt a lot. Bunch of meanies those infected I swear! he pouted. But it's gonna be okay! I'm gonna take care of that."
"Barbarians. added her sister, nodding. A true lack of etiquette!"
Hey, he sees that she's also trying to get the kid at ease. That's a good sister! He likes her already.
"Someone gotta teach them some manners!" he said, before putting his horn on the bandage, mumbling a soft apology at the wince.
Then he concentrate.
He can see the infection going through her veins, eating bit by bit the vital liquid. He can see it agglomerate around the stomache, which explain the hunger in her eyes...
Alright. Showtime now, he can't let a kid die.
He close his eyes and focus his magic on the immediate surroundings of the wound. It immediatly start to destroy the virus, bit by bit. He pours more. She need more magic.
The infection had started to spray already, so he needs to reach further.
More magic.
The infection disappear from her legs' blood vessels.
More magic.
It disappear from her stomache.
More.
No more in her throat.
More!
No more in the blood vessels anywhere else now.
He didn't noticed he started to shake. He's breathing a bit heavy too. Fuck, that's probably scaring the girl. He opened his eyes and grinned at her.
"Hey, ever tried to play tag with a sickness? It's hard! he pouted. Its cheating too. But I'm gonna win, don't worry!"
Now though, he only need to completely destroy the last remnants of it that had reached her brain. Not enough for her to lose herself completely, thank fuck.
He's tired. That was way more magic than he ever used before. But he need to use more.
The filly won't survive otherwise, and he's not going to let that happen. Her sister doesn't deserve that either.
So he pours more. More, and more, and more magic until he can't feel any traces of the damn infection in her system.
He check several times that she's really, truly double-sure healed, and he opened his eyes again, and look at the two sisters.
"Ko-Snake Eyes: one, dumb disease: zero!"
Then he promptly collapse under everyone's shocked and worried expression -for the sisters at least-
And he's grateful for that. He missed his errr... followers, errupting in cheers and stoomping their hooves on the ground like kids, and the bullshit chants about hil getting more and more powers.
God that's embarassing.
~0o0~
He woke up on the makeshift bed his "followers" made him. Their base is temporary, always had been, but now that they're numerous they can afford to stay a month or two more than before since someone's always on patrol.
But right now, that's not what's on his mind.
Right now he need to make sure the little girl's okay. He checked, but he was exhausted and he could have missed a spot! He can't afford that.
So he take the time to get his bearings back again, and go where the newcomers are usually put until they can find more rooms to put them. And as expected, the two sisters were there.
"Mister!"
She looks way better. No hunger in her eyes, it's good. The bite mark also disappeared.
"Howdy! he answered back. How are you doing?"
"We should be the one asking you that! You collapsed!"
"Pshhhh I wanted to say hi to the floor, nothing serious!"
He used his magic just so he can make sure there's no traces of infection... And yeah. It's all gone. Thank fuck.
"Just wanted to check, noooooooo virus left, thanks for choosing our services!" he said, making a small bow.
"Thank you. the big sister said. We owe you. she frown. But we won't treat you like a deity!"
...Holy shit.
"Halleluja somepony with common sense! he said, grinning wildy. Can you be one of my advisor, to keep the other idiots in line?"
She blinked, apparently not expecting that.
"Um... I suppose? My name is Rarity, and this is Sweetie Belle." she said, putting a hoof on her sister's head.
"Snake Eyes, but you already knew that. he smiled. I'm so glad to finally find someone with a logical brain! Maybe you'll be able to convince those guys that I'm NOT a god thank you."
She really looked confused and he couldn't really blame her. Generally, the leader of a cult is someone who's consenting to be, you know, the object of a cult.
"I can try. But if you couldn't..."
"Still worth a shot! Anyway..."
He explained to them that they're searching for a safe place to settle for good. And once it's done... Well, it's done. But thankfully Rarity had another idea.
"Once we settle, it would be a good idea to look for the others... she mumbled, before adding. My friends. The bearer of the Elements of Harmony."
"...The what now."
She looked at him with a confused gaze.
"You don't know what it is?"
"Listen, I got thrust into this world only after the infection started, I have no idea what you're talking about."
She looked a bit uncredulous, but she still explained.
And wow.
"...Aaaaand what are magical artefacts supposed to do in a zombie apocalypse?"
"Ideally, find the root of the problem, and getting rid of it. she sighed. Create a massive cure too..."
"Sounds a bit utopic to me but alright! he shrugged. Not that we have many things to do outside of finding a permanent safe zone... But you said we have to find your friends first right?"
"Yes... And it's going to be a bit tedious. I don't even know where they ended up, or if they aren't infected themselves..."
"Hm. Well it's still better to stay in a bunker without a purpose! So I'm all for that plan. Also I guess I need to become better at curing that damn infection too..."
They left it at that.
Rarity was a very skilled seamstress, so she made clothes like armors to protect the ponies on patrol from bites.
She even redesign the usual cloak and mask (his scarf) he wore when they were on the move. Now he straight up looks like a plague doctor. Except that instead of a bird mask, it's a snake one. And the cloak looks more like his old, DICE's one. Dark purple, just like it. And- fuck it. He also asked her to sew DICE's logo on his cloak. Because despite this whole "apocalypse" mess, he still miss them damn it.
And one day, when they were staying at an abandoned factory, one of the pony on patrol came back and yelled.
"WE FOUND PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"
Well, that promises to be interesting.

Soapghost Tangled Au
LOOK. I'm certain I'm not the first person to think about this but I Don't Care. This blog is basically just me saying shit about cod to the void anyway and talking like a bunch of people will see it lmao. THIS IS GONNA BE LONG AS FUCK BTW.
Also this shit is gonna feature some good old fashioned nikprice and alerudy and my several headcanons, a few of which I will share for context: First of all, almost everyone is trans in my mind, I won't lie to you. But mostly that's not relevant to the plot besides Soap and Nik are both trans men. Also Ghost is transfem and that's not super relevant but I will be using mostly she/her for her (I hc her using she/her and he/him pronouns) so be prepared. OKAY GOOD This is just gonna be me rambling my ideas in a bulleted list hopefully in the order of the plot.
The story sticks fairly close to the actual movie plot, once upon a time there was a magic flower yadda yadda. Anyway Old Man Shepherd wants to be eternally young yeah
Meanwhile the kings (Price and Nik) are like "let's have another kid", I say another bc Gaz is here also he's adopted <3, and seahorse dad Nik is real, okay great (DO NOT TURN THIS INTO OMEGAVERSE SHIT. HE'S TRANS. A TRANS PARENT.)
Anyway uh oh Nik gets sick (haha rhyme) and Price is like "go get that flower so my husband doesn't DIE thanks), Shepherd is pissed, steals their baby with magic hair
That baby with magic hair is Soap! Who is raised by Shepherd, everyone's favorite (least favorite) manipulative piece of shit!
Some background info on Soap's childhood, it wasn't great being locked in a tower and also. Soap is trans in this (as I've said), he's just gnc, but the long hair. Eehh. Not something he super loves but Shepherd won't let him cut it, obviously. The mohawk was a compromise (yes I know the hair lore but I want him to have a mohawk so shh)
Anyway Soap's 20-something birthday rolls around and he tries to ask Shepherd to go see the glowing lights, Shepherd says no, they argue, Soap asks for paint instead, Shepherd leaves to go get it
Meanwhile Ghost and Graves are robbing the fucking castle and steal the lost prince's crown, Ghost leaves Graves to get caught by the royal guard and then gets chased by a horse named Riley for a while before ditching him and climbing into an abandoned tower, and gets hit with a frying pan
Again, the story continues fairly the same. John makes a deal with this stranger in a skull mask to take him to see the floating lights, the lanterns apparently, and he'll give her her satchel back, Ghost begrudgingly agrees.
Ghost then takes Soap to get some food to convince him to go home and call off the deal, and she takes him to Los Vaqueros Saloon, run by two outlaw husbands and frequented by loads of criminals and bounty hunters
In case it wasn't obvious, Alejandro and Rudy own the saloon. Its patrons are made up of various different operators + Valeria (who IS an operator now but still).
Poor Soap is terrified bc Shepherd told him all people, esp ones like these, are bad news and then a bunch of guys lunge on Ghost to get her bounty and send someone out to go find some guards. Soap stops them, I've Got A Dream happens. Alejandro wants to be a pianist, good for him :)
Meanwhile Shepherd returns, sees Soap is gone, and rolls up right as Soap is saying how glad he is he left and gets pissed
Then the royal guard show up and Rudy and Alejandro help them escape and then call Ghost's dream stupid.
"Go follow your dream, hermano." "I will." "He was talking to him, your dream is stupid."
They get cornered by Graves, the royal guard, and Riley, escape and then get trapped in a cave and nearly drown. Ghost cuts her hand trying to pry away some rocks but it's too dark underwater for her to see. They both think they're gonna die so Ghost tells Soap her real name.
"my real name is Simon Riley. Somebody might as well know." "I have magic hair that glows when I sing." "....what?" "OH MY GOD- I HAVE MAGIC HAIR THAT GLOWS WHEN I SING!!!"
John's good old magic hair saves the day, they escape, they find a clearing to camp out in for the night and Soap uses his hair to heal the cut on Simon's hand, Simon freaks out a little bit it's fine, she's fine
John then asks why Simon changed her name to Ghost, Simon says it's a boring story but John listens anyway. She talks about her father and her brother taunting her with ghosts and skeletons, and when they died it stuck with her. She decided to become a ghost.
Simon asks about John's hair, he tells her that his "father" keeps him in that tower to protect him from people who want to steal his hair, shows her the tiny little brown strand that never grew back and says people want to use him for his hair's healing abilities, it's how he got the big scar on his chin.
Simon leaves to get firewood, and Shepherd emerges from the fucking shadows like a creature and tells Soap to come home with him, to which Soap says no because he Likes Simon, and she's gonna take him to see the lanterns, and she's nice!! Shepherd gets mad, tosses him the satchel and says to give it to Simon and see what she does, that he'll be sorry when she runs away with it, and then leaves
Simon comes back and Soap lies and says everything is fine. Shepherd runs into Graves who wants to kill Simon and makes a deal with him
Then morning rolls around and Simon is awoken by RILEY THE FUCKING HORSE, Soap convinces Riley to be nice and let Simon go for one day because "it's my birthday :)" and she's supposed to take him to see the lanterns
They make their way into town and Simon immediately is like "okay yeah your hair is too long" because people keep stepping on it and gets some kids to braid it. John looks very handsome, Simon is very queer, they run off and have a good time enjoying the town square and all the festivities
At some point Soap notices a mural of the royal family, with a certain golden haired baby that looks very familiar, but quickly brushes it off to dance with the townsfolk and Simon
Then it's time to see the lights! Yay! Simon gets a boat for him and John, tosses Riley a bag of apples that he Definitely Paid For, Okay...Or Mostly Paid For.
I See the Light happens, John gives Simon the satchel and Simon pushes it aside in favor of taking off her mask, just for John.
"but I'm not scared anymore, ye know?" "I think I'm starting to."
AND THEN HE TAKES THE MASK OFF AND. sometimes, I am a genius. Anyway, they get back to shore and Simon sees Graves and is like "I promise I'll be right back" and goes off to just give him the satchel, he doesn't want it anymore he just wants to be done with all this criminal shit, mainly for Johnny.
Graves instead is like "what if I took that magic hair guy instead" and knocks his ass out and ties her to a boat then goes to snatch Soap. Shepherd shows up AGAIN and knocks Graves out like "oh look son I saved you!" And Soap sees the boat with Simon on it, thinks she left him, and goes back with Shepherd
Simon wakes up TIED TO A BOAT WITH THE FUCKING CROWN HE STOLE AND GETS ARRESTED
Graves also gets arrested and Simon freaks out on him when passing him being led to his cell, Graves says that some weird guy showed up and took Soap back home and Simon is locked in her cell
Meanwhile back at the tower, Soap is laying in his bed all sad bc his gf left him, when he realizes the sun crest on the little flag Simon got him at the festival matches suns he's been subconsciously painting for YEARS, that when he tried on that crown Simon stole it fit, that that baby on that mural WAS HIM, that BRO HE IS THE LOST PRINCE.
Then he yells at Shepherd for stealing him away and Shepherd is like "okay fuck you" and plans to lock him up forever
Meanwhile, Simon gets broken out of prison by two cowboys and their gaggle of thieves and bounty hunters and a horse named Riley. Riley takes him to the tower where he climbs up and gets stabbed by Shepherd after seeing Soap LITERALLY CHAINED TO A WALL.
John begs Shepherd to let him heal her, that he'll go with him quietly and never complain if he does and Shepherd agrees and chains Simon up too so he can't follow them. Soap goes to heal her and Simon slices off a bunch of his hair. Shepherd rapidly ages and falls out of the window and dies, L moment. Simon dies too tho, sad.
For real though, "You were my new dream" "And you were mine" fucks me up every time. Anyway, Simon dies, Soap's magic tears of love or something brings her back to life.
"Did I ever mention...I like brunettes" "PFF- YER AN ARSEHOLE!" "Sorry Johnny, there can only be one blonde person in this relationship!"
Anyway happily ever after and all that, Soap gets to reunite w his long lost fathers and brother.
Look idk how they recognize him okay. Father's intuition? Blue eyes? The big fat scar on his chin that wasn't ACTUALLY from someone stealing Soap (he was a stupid baby)? Idk could be any or all of those.
THE END!!!!!! Thank you to those who sat here and read ALL of this <3 big preesh! Okay idk how to end this so bye

buzzer beater ❧ teaser [sungchan]
Tumblr media
❧ word count: 1028 | full fic: 22.0k ❧ warnings: just cursing for the teaser, everything i know about hockey is from internet research for this fic i’m sorry for any inaccuracies i tried not to put in a lot of specifics lmao ❧ genre: fluff, gets quite suggestive (a heavy makeout scene/near sex scene) but no actual smut, college au, hockey captain sungchan, chronically ill reader (chronic migraines), halloween-themed at the beginning, sungchan’s not a frat boy but he’s like... a frat boy by association ❧ extra info: the ages/relative ages of the members in here are whatever i want them to be, don’t read into it too much. this is a very usamerican-centric take on a college au (greek life, collegiate sports, etc.) btw. also i call kunhang ‘hendery’ in here like it’s his government name for a one-line gag bc i think i’m hilarious (and i am <;3) the reader in this has chronic migraines, which i also have. when the reader’s migraines, experiences as a chronically ill person, and thoughts about being chronically ill are described, that is me writing directly from my own life. i am not a spokesperson for chronic migraines (lol) and am not generalizing the lives of all people with chronic migraines and chronic illness, as we are all different. but i am sending all my love to any readers out there living with a chronic illness, and here’s a reminder to go take your meds!! ❧ estimate release: saturday, october 14, 2023 2:00 p.m. eastern time
Tumblr media
“Anyway, your turn,” you tapped his knee with your book before putting it back in your bag.
“For what?”
“To expand my horizons of you. All I know about you is that you’re the hockey captain, and a Bio major who took a gothic fiction class one time like three years ago. Show me you’re a multifaceted individual, too.”
“Uhm, that’s about it.”
“Oh come on, Sungchan.”
“No really, if I’m not on the ice, I’m in class; if I’m not in class, I’m with my team; and if I’m not with my team, I’m studying.”
“You’re here, right now,” you pointed out. “Last I checked I’m not on your hockey team, and we’re not studying. You have to do one thing that’s not for school or hockey. My thing was just watching Pacific Rim this one time, remember?”
“Alright…” he paused to think, fingers tapping along his thighs. “I used to play the piano.”
“Past tense, but I’ll accept it. When did you stop?”
“High school? Around when piano lessons and hockey practice started conflicting.”
“And you chose hockey?” You asked, hoping it didn’t sound judgmental. You really were just curious, trying to understand him.
“Actually, the choice was made for me.” He held his right hand out in front of you, and it was then that you saw his pinky finger was unnaturally crooked as he pointed to the digit. “I broke it in a game without even realizing it. Bruises and stiffness sometimes are normal so me and my parents didn’t know anything was up until weeks later when I was fucking up all the notes at my piano lessons because it still hurt. By the time I finally saw a doctor and got a splint on it, it set up wrong. All dexterity for piano out the window. Hockey on the other hand… guys have done a lot more with a lot less.”
You couldn’t help but curiously run a gentle fingertip over the crook in his pinky. “Does it hurt at all? Now?”
“Not really.” He went to bend and flex the fingers of his right hand, and you saw how the fifth finger didn’t curl up as much as the others. “It’s just a lot stiffer. Doesn’t bother me all that much.”
He brought his left hand up and wiggled the fingers on that hand. “Besides, I’m a lefty anyway.”
“So—apologies if this sounds like a stupid question to you, I don’t know anything about hockey—are there like, different hockey sticks for left-handed and right-handed players?”
Sungchan immediately broke into snickers, and you set down your mug to cross your arms over your chest indignantly.
“Hey, I didn’t laugh at you for not knowing what death of the author was—”
“I wasn’t making fun of you, I’m sorry,” he covered his mouth. “That was just… too cute. Uhm yes, there are lefty and righty sticks.”
You had to bite down your bottom lip to not smile at him calling you cute, and instead keep up your ruse of being offended. “I feel patronized.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” There was still a hint of a giggle in his tone, and you felt your self-righteous façade slip away as he continued, “You should come to a game, then, if you really want to broaden your horizons. The season just started. First home game is this Thursday, actually. 7:00 p.m. and students get free admission with your student ID.”
“Thursday?”
“Fridays are for basketball, Saturdays are for football.”
“Oh. Right.”
“You don’t go to those games either, do you?”
“Oh no, did I make it obvious?” You asked sarcastically.
“A bit,” Sungchan jested back.
Outside the window visible past Sungchan, the rain had let up a few minutes ago, and you briefly glanced over at your laptop for the time. Shit, your next alarm was going to be going off soon. If you left now, you should be home at roughly the right time for your next dose.
Clicking your tongue, you started packing up your things, “Well, looks like the rain’s finally let up enough to allow me safe passage. That’s my cue.”
“Oh.” The hockey player with you looked over his shoulder at the newly sunny day outside before turning back to watch you put your things away.
“Are you heading out too?” You nodded to his empty cup.
“I’ve uh, got some homework to do.”
“Guess this is where we part ways then.”
“Um, you didn’t say if you were going. To the game.”
You tucked your chin to your chest to hide your smitten smile as you put your laptop in your bag. Typically just asking for the details would’ve been taken for a yes, but Sungchan wanted extra confirmation. This boy wasn’t good for your heart, truly.
Turning back to him, you gave him a firm and nearly business-like nod. “Yeah, I’ll be there.”
A bright grin lit up his features. “Okay! Great! Uhm, feel free to bring some friends, I know just sitting in the stands by yourself might be lonely.”
“I’ll see if I can drag somebody else out. It’ll be a tall order, though. Literature majors, you know, we prefer our Shakesperean poetry readings.”
“Oh, well—”
“I’m kidding,” you laughed and stood then, slinging your tote onto your shoulder. “Honestly, have you seen Chenle at a rager? Boy can drink twice his body weight I swear. He shouldn’t, but he can.”
Before you could reach for your cup and saucer to buss your place, the hockey captain spoke up, “I’ll take care of your mug, don’t worry.”
“Oh, thanks, Sungchan! I’ll see you Thursday then.”
Tumblr media
“Bye…” Sungchan trailed off, watching the door long after it had closed behind you.
He didn’t actually have any homework to do, and scrolled on his phone for a few minutes to make sure you were out of the area before leaving himself. He grabbed his long-empty plastic cup and your mug. His went in the trash, and as he went to put yours up with the other dishes and trays, his eyes were caught by the iridescent glitters left behind on the rim by your lip gloss.

Heya! Hope you’re having an Amazing day/evening/noon/night! If not; that’s okay!
I wanted to ask you; do you have any headcanons for Cesar if you don’t mind me asking of course!
Eyy hello! I'm having a good evening and I hope the same for you whether or not it's evening at your place~
To answer your question, I do indeed have some headcanons to share! ;> AGAIN, these are all written for my AU so keep that in mind while reading,,
Headcanons for Cesar Torres:
-While Mark is more of an introvert, Cesar is the complete opposite. From his fancy appearance, you wouldn't really think that he was a chaotic extrovert, now would you? While he may be a little all over the place, he makes up with his friendly attitude towards others. He prefers being around people rather than alone by himself. (I got inspired by the irl face portraying Cesar in the series, Andrew Long. From the few livestream clips I saw, he's so goofy lmao,,)
-Theater kid, no doubt about it. Don't know why but he gives off the vibes to me. Some of my fanfic readers might have noticed that Cesar goes to an after-school drama club. It's pretty much the only thing he looks forward to after classes. He likes to be expressive as possible whenever he's on stage, intentionally over-dramatic with his acting. The club loves him for that. Naturally, like probably most theater kids, he's got a singing voice and he uses that to annoy the fuck out of Mark by bursting out into song at the most random times. Hit em' when they least expect it.
-Cesar is Hispanic. His family being of Latin American descent, living in the US. He can speak fluent Spanish while American English is his second language. To add, he's bilingual. If I were to list a quick quirk, sometimes he forgets a word in English and you might hear him curse out under his breath in Spanish due to frustration. (I've seen a few people give a similar headcanon and I'm joining in,,)
-A great cook, whenever he has the time you'll find him in the kitchen whipping up some tasty meals. Has a fairly refined palette as well, he hates processed and frozen foods. However, he's a terrible baker. Cesar finds little enjoyment in the more precise measurements when it comes to baking. Don't be surprised if his pastries are messy or that his cookies are burnt.
-There's barely any info on Cesar's parents in the canon series but I'm revealing this anyway. In the AU, Cesar's parents work in the airline industry. His father is an airline pilot while his mother, a flight attendant. While they make good money, they're not as present in their son's life. Because of the round-the-clock nature of the industry, they often have to work evenings, weekends, and holidays. Cesar has grown accustomed to taking care of himself, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he likes it.
-You've seen him in his iconic black suit but that isn't the only tuxedo he's got in his wardrobe. Some of the suits in his collection are fashionable, ranging in colors from white to darker shades of brown and red, but he's also got, less than respectable, multicolored suits. Ones that hurt your eyes just by looking.

Hello, I need to drop this in here before Season two of TSCS drop kicks me in a few days.
But I've had Fusion Au on the mind. In the brain. And I just frankly wanna know more about it. Whatever other information you can give I will GLADLY take. (Maybe even drop the fusion height chart 👉👈 if it is to be found)
Steven Universe has permanently altered my brain chemistry and I just wanna hear you talk about this silly little au that has been fluttering around lately.
F E L T. I have been hitting the ground RUNNING for Crystal Springs just to give myself decent AC for when the series picks up again (not sure if I'm gonna post the same day of the new episodes or the day AFTER, but New CS will be there to comfort me and maybe others in my our time of need).
I am not ready. I NEVER will be. I hope and pray that the Council isn't butchered, bc if we've got three confirmed Legendary Figures, I can't see us NOT getting the others. Or, maybe it WILL just be Sandy and Cupid and EB 2.0!! But idk. Idk man. Idk. I really want the snowball that gets thrown in Scott's face in the trailer to be courtesy of Jack. I know it won't be. But I fucking WISH and HOPE and AH.
OFF TOPIC!
I have a height chart floating around somewhere, but it is a stick figure doodle, so I will ATTEMPT to give you a proper?? Chart???
I think I said that Berline is about the size of two Elles stacked on top of each other (sitting on her shoulders) so I kinda eyeballed it based on that??? (me retconning so much about heights knowing that I had Berline pick Elle up and seat her in their palm lmao) So here we go, the main line up:
Tumblr media
I eyeballed the SHIT out of this??? I may boost them all a whole ass foot lmao but Richard was liek "DANI. SEVEN FEET IS TALL!" and I was like I GUESS.
Also, as an aside??? The height chart site has a 3D one?? That actually disturbed me??? Thank GOD I was able to switch back! If I find the shitty lil stick figure height doodle I will edit to add it. Or reblog to add it, lol. ANYWAY.
Some info, you request? Okay! Let me marinate it in my head and see what I can do throughout the day:
If the entire frost fam fused they'd be called Frost and they'd be a DELIGHT. They don't talk much except for to be polite and they will throw melty molten rock at you at the drop of a hat, so it's a GOOD THING that Jackie doesn't exists when Frost does! Because they WOULD drop their hat on purpose just to see a fire show
Frost probably freezes in place a lot while thinking since there's 6 whole ass sprites in there having a discussion, which is a very funny mental image--just this blob of ice and fire BUFFERING and then suddenly some asshole gets pompeii'd lol
They're very sweet! Very polite. Always say please and thank you!
When Fino and Fiera fuse, Fire is just the opposite of the THERE'S TWO meme. There's ONE. And they are making it YOUR PROBLEM (they also do unfuse in my head very similarly to the THERE'S TWO meme)
Fire is also the most humanoid looking fusion, for sure!
Diteline really likes flower crowns. She will make you a flower crown or a lil grass bracelet if she's left alone with no threats and a bunch of nature. She's a big old sweetie, an absolute delight
Diteline kids, meanwhile, are a pain when they learn about fusion, and incredibly hard to keep track of once they master it. Those three lil buggers will bounce from fusion to fusion, going from helping to causing trouble to wreaking havoc to trying to fix something as simple as "oh shit, mom and mater will be home soon and we DIDN'T CLEAN THE KITCHEN LIKE THEY ASKED"
Inter season squabbles take on a whole new meaning when it's "shoulder season" time, as 9/10 times it's because the two seasons have fused and are still doing their jobs 😂😂
Of all the Frosts, Fino is the least likely to fuse! It's fun but not like, a big deal, y'know? Orc Friend (who's name is, in fact, Ken, and then I saw Barbie and. Well. But I can't not see him with any other name! It's short for Kenothy) was tres relieved about this, had a whole crisis about if they'd have to fuse at all and of course, overthought it in leaps and bounds 🫠🫠🫠
Fiera and Normal Man (His name is Norm bc I am a SUCKER for a PUNNY NAME) probably would equate to the Stevonnie plotline lol. Like, they'd fuse and Fiera would be like "I DIDN'T KNOW ORDIBEINGS COULD DO THAT! WOW!" And they'd be so excited and have a regular time, bc the normal and absolutely unhinged wild crazy balance out :)
I think their fusion is named Norma lol
Blaise and Pyros never fused, ever. They were not allowed to bc it "wasn't proper" for royalty to resort to something like that
(King and Queen Frost had a very hands-off approach with...messier conflicts. There's a reason they managed to scrape by when The Call happened)
If a redemption arc ever happened for Pyros, it A) wouldn't be one like Jack's, it'd be a more "oh so this was a fucked up upbringing and I need to stop blaming others and confront myself and maybe fix my shit or maybe get worse, who's to say" kind of thing, and B) there'd deffs be a fusion related plotline in Fusion AU, potentially involving murder of parents and/or falling into a volcano.
I think, somehow, of ALL the fusions, Elline (Elle and Jacqueline) are the most chillest one. She is SO chill. She probably always has sunglasses on or on her person. She's got great advice. She'll go with you for ice cream any day! She has such good vibes it's unREAL.
I want to/am in the process of giving the inter-season fusions names. So far we've got:
Flora: Spring/Summer
Fauna: Spring/Autumn
Mud: Spring/Winter.
She's very insistent on this name presently, but I think a wintry plant would be cuter, like Winterberry or Poinsettia or Snowdrop (my personal fave tbh) but NO. She's like "I make Mud therefor I am mud."
Everyone calls her Snowdrop and she's like "No, just Mud for short is fine" It's like. None of those letters are even IN "Snowdrop" Mud, the FUCK? CAN'T YOU CHARACTERS BE NORMAL. TO A POINT.
Evergreen: Autumn/Winter
Sunflower: Summer/Autumn
(I was torn between something plain and obvious like "Harvest", or a silly crop related pun like "Melony", then I remembered that in SDV Sunflowers grow in Summer and Autumn, you know, like they do in IRL and went OH THAT'S PERFECT!)
Summer/Winter fusion is definitely the poster fusion for vacations, lmao. Probably I'll think of something like THAT for their name. Maybe Snowbird? Bc that's what they call people who fly south for the winter on vacations? Lol
(smacks head of Season sisters) These ladies can fit SO MUCH PUNS in 'em
Blaise and Winter I don't think really fuse with the kiddos, not until later years. I know for sure Winter and Jacqueline on occasion have! She's called Flurry and has the MOST energy ever always and is a sentient storm's WORST NIGHTMARE
Blinter the fusion. Can deffs. Pull other fusions apart. They can just pick up a fusion and be like "nope" and separate their asses. They do not abuse this power; it is just something they can do and it came in handy a LOT during the War of Succession
Which is probably actually when they first appeared! Trauma bonding 🥰🥰
So that's what I managed in a day! The heights are...average, I'd say. Not gospel, but like, the differences between the fusions? Solid. I eyeballed it 100%. I'm like MAKE EM BIG but then I'm like I WANT THEM TO BE SNEAKY AND BLEND IN WHEN THEY CAN AS JUST VERY TALL PEOPLE HUEHUEHUE. For some of them. SO YEAH. I HOPE THIS SATISFIES THE LIL ITCH? THE LIL TICKLE? THE LIL FUSION BUG??
I gotta like. Tidy Fusion AU up now that I've got Crystal Springs tidied up, too! It'll make it easier to write the Jackie Frost instalment, lol.

Anyway...
fake dating info dump(1/?)
Ig also spoilers for the au because this is really just me on full on info dump mode just throwing out every single idea I have. I kinda plan to write a fic at some point
Yeji's a vendor manager at Tdoong Snacks
First things first the girlies jobs:
Ryujin works in the IT department of Tdoong snacks, particularly in app development and maintenance. Which is how she originally met Yeji, their vendor app was bugging out. That then devolved to Ryujin annoying tf out of Yeji on the regular while she helps her fix her work pc
Yuna's an intern in the IT department (because I can never give up my Yuna intern agenda) and was originally the one helping Yeji with her shitty pc most of the time. That's how Ryujin found out about it (maybe Yeji comes in looking for Yuna and Yuna had college that day soo Ryujin is like bet let's piss her off)
Minju got a new job working under Dahyun (a famous news anchor and tv personality) at JYP News
I really love the idea of HR Chaeryeong lmao she's also in HR in my secretary Yeji au but I want her as one here as well
Jisu works under Mochaeng in the graphic design section of the Tdoong marketing department
Jihyo is a ceo somewhere probably lmao. I physically can not not include her in my ideas but surprisingly I haven't thought of anything this time
Eventually Ryeji realise they live in the same area on a really rainy day when Yeji begrudgingly offers Ryujin a ride. So they come up with this system where Ryujin drives them both to and from work using the company car cause Yeji gets so tired from having to drive around doing vendor negotiations and stuff. Which leads Minju to assume they're dating cause Ryujin is always around lmao and they bicker like 24/7
Ryujin jokes about the whole misunderstanding and makes a statement about how this is good for Yeji anyway cause now she can keep her lie going. Which gives Yeji the brilliant idea to properly ask Ryujin to be her fake gf. Ryujin mulls it over and eventually accepts cause it's not like it'll be very hard since Minju already suspected them just from how they interacted in general
Need a scene where they draft a whole ass contract for the terms of their fake dating (Ryujin: you're so dramatic 🙄) and decide they need to give each other nicknames and Ryujin's coming up with all sorts of annoying ones then finally looks at Yeji for a loooooonnnggg second and goes "Yeddeong" in a kinda sentimental voice that surprisingly has Yeji kinda malfunctioning a bit (which she justifies as Ryujin being hot af not because Ryujin actually has an effect on her Ryujin's fucking annoying after all) and Ryu gets all smug over it. And also just keeps calling ger Yeddeong at every opportunity now
I also need a scene where they go out drinking (while fake dating) with Yeji's friends (Hyunjin, Minju, Jisu, Jisung and Somi) and ryeji both get kinda drunk and Yeji kisses her but it's not the usual short kisses they usually have Yeji really goes for it this time. Ryujin's a better drinker so she kinda comes to her senses a bit and stops it all. She wants to take Yeji back home but Yeji insists on staying with her because she really doesn't want to see Minju rn and Ryujin doesn't say anything for a bit then offers to go to her apartment. She's actually slept over before cause one time Yeji wanted to make it look like they actually fuck and all since Minju would know how she is. Her plan was to stay at the office and work since Jisu and Somi are having a date night and Yeji doesn't wanna be in their apartment plus staying with Hyunjin is always super annoying but Ryujin just offers her to stay over at hers since it's not a big deal.
Yeji accepts and they get there, both tumble into Ryujin's bed not even bothering to bicker about who gets it and it's quiet and Yeji apologises for kissing her like that to which Ryujin is like "it's fine it's not like we haven't done it before anyway" and Yeji explains that she's kinda been overwhelmed by the whole Minju thing and she's really trying to show everyone that she's okay and moved on
Ryujin: why though
Yeji: ??
Ryujin: why do you have to prove you're okay even if you're clearly not
Yeji: cause I'm the one who broke up with her
Which surprises Ryujin cause you'd think Yeji got dumped and Yeji goes on to detail how at some point Minju clearly stopped liking her that way and was kinda just with her because that's what was always the case for them. There was no more passion from Minju so Yeji decided to end it and let her go. Yeji's got this fear that she can never be loved again because the one person she's ever been with basically stopped loving her. So it kinda fucks her up that Minju is in a happy commited relationship now that not only seems deeper than anything they had but is strong enough that they don't even seem to have problems being long distance despite being together shorter than the time her and Minju were together. In her mind this shows that Minju's capable of love and that it was just Yeji who was the problem.
Ryujin kinda just holds her hand through it all, not really sure what to say that can help her without confessing her own feelings. But she really wants to say SOMETHING somehow so she turns to face Yeji on the bed.
Ryujin: are you sobered up now
Yeji looks at her kinda weird: why?
Ryujin leans in and repeats herself.
Yeji: I think so?
Then Ryujin leans in and kisses her real soft and slow and whispers "don't discount how lovable you are Yeddeong. Cause you are. And you deserve to be loved"
And they both just don't bring it up again until a later moment where they maybe have an argument or something
Lastly for now I need like a chapter of Ryujin realising she's falling for Yeji and deciding to go all scientific method to prove whether she's actually falling or not and the conclusion is goddamnit she is 😭

Ask and you shall receive ... an ask. Anywho - who are the hunters? Why do they hint the vampires? Is it just an "ahhh scary monster that feeds on us specifically!" Thing or a "social standards dictate you are evil so im revoking your existence privileges. " or smth else like them actually being feral rats? I love social-moral (or whatever its called) lore
YEAS I LOVE YOU ANON/p YOURE SO!!!! SO!!!! idk what you are but i love you very much for asking!!!!
SO!! this is ofc a self insert au because everything i make is self insert now 🙄
sorry if it's scrambled a bit. a lit of this wasn't written down cuz. i was thinking a lot of it during work and therefore couldnt write it down so this is the first time words are getting out of my mind.
if you have any questions please feel free to ask!!!
long post!! so under the cut it goes :]
general world building:
the setting of the story kinda takes place in the past. well... no. it's modern-day, but technilogy hadn't really advanced too much. so it'd be like.. yknow, like when european folk actually believed and were scared of vampires. think maybe a few decades after dracula era (around early-mid 1800's). so ofc the world isn't too advanced yet. theres cars, trains, etc etc, but there certainly isnt the technology now.
im only saying that cuz im non binary and so is my sona (and pj is genderfluid) and i dont want the homophobia/transphobia from back then in my story LMAOOO
of course, that means religion plays a big role in the world. vampires/monsters/other supernatural beings are all considered unholy, or are believed to be created by the devil.
only humans can be vampire hunters, but anyone can be a vampire.
vampires are hunted because, when they had first appeared, they were killing and feeding on humans. they feed off of blood, ofc, and they needed to get it from somewhere, and humans were simply the tastiest option!
humans just sort of... continued killing them because they assumed they would continue feasting off of them, and it was out of fear. no one wanted to die via vampire, or be turned into one, so they'd kill them. vampires continue feasting on humans because if they're gonna be hunted anyway, why not eat good? they know humans won't believe them if they tried to deny eating humans, even if they were telling the trust. such is life.
also!! not only humans can be transformed!! monsters can also be transformed:) (like. the undertale monsters. yea.)
that's why i differentiate monsters vs supernaturals. the monsters are the silly guys from undertale/the aus and supernaturals are.. well.. the things you'd typically find in the show "supernatural" LMAO. vamps, werewolves, shifters, ghosts, demons, djinn, dragons, ghouls, etc.
info about my sona:
so that means... my sona is the vampire hunter! their whole family has been in the business for DECAAAADES. so it's sorta expected of them to also be a vampire hunter!
they're trained from a very young age, and thus are very proficient in many weapons (though, most commonly used vampire-hunting weapons are guns are knives. bullets and blades are all made out of silver that's then blessed by a priest on a full moon! (there's significance to that, but i'll put it in the hunter lore part of the post!!))
jet's specific signature weapon is a revolver! they use it the most, though they've also got a good few other weapons on them, as well. ofc, a few other guns, a few knives, and they even carry a crossbow with them! it's old school, but it gets the job done. another of their signature weapons is a dainty blade their father crafted for them after their first kill! it's infused with the vampire's blood, and even had a crystal made from it's dust!!
as their family has been in the vampire-hunting business for such a long time, they are well known, especially amongst other vampire-hunter groups and older generations of vampires. their great great great great great grandmother was one of the most famous hunters of her time, and her legacy is still shared among other hunter groups. she's the first hunter to have ever killed a vampire royalty :)
they collect the canine fangs from the vampires they kill. they wear them on a necklace and a few belts across their body :) it's a kill count for them, and shows vamps that they're pretty good at their job
vampire hunter lore:
SO. as mentioned above, vamp-killing weapons are produced via a special procedure. the blacksmiths will create the weapons (blades, bullets, even silver-tipped arrows) out of pure silver. the silver is purely because many other supernatural creatures/monsters die via silver, such as werewolves.
this is because silver is considered a "pure metal", and monsters are "impure", so it cleanses them.
these weapons are then blessed by a priest because, again, vampires are impure. they are considered devilish, and evil. having the blessing make the weapons "holy", giving them the purpose to remove the unholy in the name, and with the aid, of the divine.
the full moon only has significance because i think its cool but in the story's lore, it's because the first vampire king was killed on a full moon. it is believed to bless luck upon the wielder of the weapon.
vampire lore:
taking from the original vampireverse, i'm bringing in vampire royalty. and the current king is error :) and ofc his child paperjam!! the main star of the show!!! (aside from my sona ofc)
though, i'm leaving the names from the og behind. i do not care for fallacy and jasper or wtv (i literally only did research on the au earlier when i was storyboarding in my notes app LMFAOO. it was also just a quick glance through fandom wiki cuz i refused to touch rouge's blog HAHAHA) they're just error and paperjam. and everyone else has their regular names too. cuz im kinda lame but whatever
so anyway 😻 about the royal family....
royals are full-blooded vampires, this means they only have born-vampire blood in their family lineage. no human, nor transformed vampire. think pure-bloods from hairy potter i guess. same concept!
this ofc means they're harder to kill. they're more powerful, and they're often far older and more experienced. though... error did inherit the throne rather young, and pj himself is also quite young still, being only maybe a few hundred years old?
this is ofc due to error's father being killed by jet's ancestor. vampire kings have only been know. to die naturally (after a handful of centuries LMAOO) so he was put into power quite young. think the equivalent of a human aged 19 or so, when he'd typically inherit the throne in his late 30's.
now, on to the non-royals...
non-royal vampires can be of any blood status, though they're most commonly not pureblood. they'd be the half-bloods or the transformed (which is what mortals turned vampire are called)
AS this is a monarchy, they have a kingdom. it's actually really big, and it's amazing how none of the hunters have found it yet!!! except no it's not, because they've used magic to hide it :3. humans can only enter the kingdom with a vampire.
the royals live in a big castle at the centre of the kingdom, then the city spreads out. purebloods live closer to the centre, and teansformed live towards the outskirts.
despite this, vampires are a fairly close-knit species. there's only a bit of disconnect between transformed and non-transformed. but that's just cuz transformed are usually snobbish and bitter abt being turned vampire
all of their teeth are fangs and will puncture flesh, but their canines specifically are bigger. they're what sucks out the blood/magic :)
!!! vampires dont just feed on human blood!! the pureblood vamps and the monster vamps both need to feed on magic, as well. while they can get magic out of the blood of their victim, it's easier to just bite into the SOUL. that way, their body doesn't need to consume energy to try to diffuse the magic from the blood!
these vampires need magic because it's how they live. we all know monsters are made from dust and magic, so they need to keep magic going through their systems. as vampires are technically "dead", they cannot produce this magic themselves, and need to source it from somewhere else.
while this may be a horrifying fact, mortal humans and monsters are kept in "feeding houses", for emergencies. if a vamp couldn't feed for a while, they will use the captured mortals to get back to full health.
of course, these mortals usually taste like shit. victims that have never been fed on will taste the best. their blood is unspilled and still "pure". it's yet to be tainted.
now for the storybuilding!! this is info that i'd actually write in a fic if i ever get around to making one...
fic lore:
peej ran away from home because his dad is an ass and doesn't really care about him. he's all like "yeah i'll show YOU, asshole!"
he's also kinda tired of the whole humans vs vampires thing. he doesn't wanna have to rule in a world dominated by humans
so anyway when she (rember pj is genderfluid and uses all pronouns!!) runs away from home they run into the famous vampire hunter... jet!!
they fight and just as jet's about to kill her, she's like "man why's it gotta be this way. why can't we not kill each other?"
jet's like "um... this is literally my job? we hate each other? you kill us?"
pj's all like "well first of all ive never even killed a human so fuck you. second of all, we can change! pls let me go i wont kill you"
jet's distrustful but they don't kill him.
pj sticks with jet for a while. neither of them know why, and they get annoyed at each other a lot. jet continues to kill vamps, pj continues to feed on humans + monsters (but doesnt kill them). they both lowk hate the other, but they agreed not to kill each other so.
then there's like a cheesy scene where they have a heart-to-heart... SOUL-to-SOUL...? whatever. pj's all like "i hate being born into a vampire family. it's so rough. i never wanted this :("
then jet's like. oh. they empathize with peej cuz they were forced into the vampire hunting business because of their family. they never got a choice on what they wanted to do.
then they become friends! very slowly, and they still annoy the hell outta each other, but!! friends :)
then it's adventures together for a bit
and then!!! DRAMA!!!
error forces pj back to the vampire kingdom place. then he tries to convince pj that jet is bad.
"that little 'friend' you made is no good for you. you may trust them, but they're a vampire hunter. they kill us. you know that, paperjam."
"i know! but they're different. they don't even want to be a hunter. they wouldn't kill me."
"you foolish child. you think they're different? they had planned to kill you the whole time! they were just waiting for the perfect opportunity. you're a prince, for fuck's sake! they'd be even more famous for killing you!"
meanwhile jet doesn't know pj is a vamp prince. she never told them and it's not like they've been seen in the public before.
anyway, error eventually convinces pj using magic. pureblood vampires can basically beam images into your head. sometimes it's true and sometimes it's not. this ofc isn't the truth, but pj believes it is.
pj fully believes jet intended to betray them. they believe jet wanted to kill them the whole time and only pretended to be friends to get pj to lower their guard.
this lets error convince him to kill jet.
ofc pj is hurt so they decide to do it. obviously, since jet was so willing to kill her, she should have no problem killing them.
meanwhile jet's retired from vamp hunting. they're shunned and disowned by their family because of it, and now they're basically a wanted criminal because they're going against the Divine by not doing their born-duty to rid the world of the unholy filth.
it was bound to happen sooner or later, though. they were already a blacksheep of the family because as a child then weren't ecstatic about killing vamps. also theyre non binary. their family is kinda lowk homophobic nd will use the wrong pronouns in purpose.
anyway. pj locates them and tries to kill them. theyre all like "dude wtf!! we're friends?? i literally retired bcs of our friendship!"
except bcs they retired when pj was taken back to the vamp kingdkm, she didnt know jet retired! so theyre like "wait huh."
they talk it out and explain both sides of the story. jet's like "your father sounds like a bitch ass mf. i wanna beat him up (respectfully, tho. ur my best and only friend and i wont kill your father.)"
so anyway pj brings them to the vampire kingdom. they meet error
he gets really mad about it. he yells at pj.
"WHY DID YOU BRING A HUNTER HERE. THEYRE GONNA KILL US! THEYRE GINNA TELL ALL THE OTHER HUNTERS WHERE WE LIVE NOW >:("
"un excuse you. that's no way to talk to your child, also i retired. fuck you."
peej decides to show jet around :) mostly the catsle, but they also go into the city, too. he introduces them to a few vamps (probably mostly other sans aus LMAO) and theyre all like "um. thats a vamp hunter? one of the famous ones? you know their ancestor killed ur grandpa, right?"
no one else really likes them. but its okay cuz this story aint about them. die.
then yeah. that's all i got for a story so far :)
anyway yeah!! this is probably a lot, and there will probably be more maybe. but ty anon for asking. i love talking about my sona and aus that i make. and i love creating lore.

How would you interpret a villain's grandkids au or villain madrigals au? I'm sure if the madrigals were villains they would have a pretty normal family dynamic because of irony
Me personally?? Umm, well because I absolutely love aus where the grandkids are basically the power rangers but insane.
Evil Grandkids AU. (I technically already have an Evil Madrigals AU, which is the protective au; they're just evil towards the town lmao)
Les get it
So it actually starts right after Luisa’s ceremony. Isabela and Dolores notice that the town immediately started taking advantage of Luisa’s gift. They couldn’t really do anything about it, but they sure as hell could try. So they did. They would purposely take Luisa and hide her, making the villagers spend all day looking for her, or they’d have to move whatever they needed moved themselves. They were pretty young at the time, so it was harmless. And whenever Alma came around, they would have Luisa act like she’s working; this way, whenever the townsfolk would try to tell on them, Alma wouldn’t believe them.
They did it with themselves as well. Isabela gave out flowers still; they were pretty in front of Alma, but as soon as Isabela left the vicinity, the would wilt and die soon after; she wouldn’t put much energy into making them, so they would just die as soon as she left. And Dolores? She would just…not be around. She didn’t mind using her gift to help with actual problems like finding someone or helping find out important, needed info from across town. But whenever someone asked for gossip, especially personal gossip? She would just. Not even be there. She would literally leave and hide.
This behavior continued. It didn’t take them long to get used to it and they saw nothing wrong with what they were doing; they were just standing up for themselves. And the same goes for Camilo and Mirabel as well. Once Camilo got his gift, they already knew what to do. Dolores kept Camilo close by, and never let an adult dump a baby him. Most of the time, the boy would just play with other kids; he’s only five anyway. He only helped when another person was absolutely needed. When Mirabel’s ceremony failed, they didn’t know what to do; but they figured it out: they placed Mirabel as the look out. Mirabel loved to help her sisters, prima and primo, and despite Alma’s suspicions and protests, they still went with the plan. Mirabel always was in town, just walking around. She kept on eye on the town and would report back to Isabela or Dolores of any info she got that could help them. And once Antonio was born, he picked up on that behavior; all three of the younger ones picked it up from the older three; it’s a learned behavior.
By this point, it wasn’t even rebellious phase anymore; they were straight up being mean. As they grew older, the little ‘plans’ started to get more and more hostile. Isabela would avoid Alma entirely now; she would ask Dolores where she was and go in the opposite direction, so Alma wouldn’t even se here unless they went home. And if someone asked for flowers, just because they wanted them? Wilted, dead flowers was what they got. She only gave out flowers when she wanted to, and would get snippy with anyone who tried to ask, throwing flowers in people’s faces. Dolores? She. Is. A. Snitch. Now she usually won’t rat out her family (not unless it’s for their own safety), but the townsfolk? It’s on. She will tell everyone’s business in the most innocent way, and act like nothings wrong. She starts drama, for fun. And if someone tries to confront her? They would need to deal with a 6 if the grandkids, and that never really ended well (seriously, imagine getting jumped by 6 people.) Luisa would just straight up refuse to help. If she didn’t feel like doing something, she would quite literally deny helping. And the thing is, she’s in town often, so it never really made sense to the towns.
Camilo? Doesn’t babysit. At least not for anyone he doesn’t know. He’s not just gonna take any random baby, he’ll immediately hand it back to the mother, telling her to get an actual babysitter. Mirabel? She’s still the messenger of the group. She’s everywhere at all times somehow, and much like Dolores has info on everyone. Her relationship with Isabela isn’t as bad either, is more like a sisterly-rival kind of thing, they sort of just mess around with each other from time to time. Antonio is usually with Mirabel or Camilo, and once his gift came, he couldn’t stop animals from bothering people. Why should he? After all, they’re just ‘wild animals’, and don’t understand anything. Right?
It wasn’t uncommon for someone to get jumped by the 6 either. Any kind of attitude towards them about them not helping because they were tired and just didn’t need to, they would gang up on said persons. The adults noticed. But they couldn’t stop them. No matter what they did, no matter what they said, nothing seemed to get through their heads; the way they were acting was ‘atrocious and unacceptable’ in Alma’s words, but it’s not like she could do anything about. Heck, she couldn’t even keep up the perfect routine with Isabela, and the others were too far gone anyway.
It’s not that good but I tried 😩😩

WIP Tag Game
I got tagged by @amiyade, thank you!! ✨💖 I’ve seen the rules going around somewhere and it's something like post a list of your current writing projects. Followers are free to ask for more info on any of them, like which characters feature, snippets, extra details, etc. Remember how I said I'm trying to take it easy on myself and not drown myself in WIPs since I'm getting back into actually being productive ahahahahaha yeaaaah *drowns self in WIPs* SO, not a complete list of WIPs, but some things I'm currently focusing on the most. I think I’ve mentioned like most of them anyway lol, BUT HERE WE ARE: 1. The Memory of You (FFXV) -- honestly, this is probably my favouritest fic of mine, which is dumb I know since you'd think I'd have finished it then lol. For those who don't know, Noct and Ardyn are physically de-aged into children (around 7 and 10 years old) by a daemon and are trapped on their own in Cleigne. They have to work together to travel across the country to Hammerhead, where Noct's friends are, but, of course, there are a few hiccups along the way. Enemies-to-friends, Ardyn!redemption, an adventure fic with some cute things, some angsty things and some scary things. MUCH FRIENDSHIP. It now has a playlist on spotify which just makes me feel things instead of write things lmao. I love this fic okay shhhhhhhhh. 2. [title redacted] (FFXV) -- a hurt!Noct body horror fic. After a daemon hunt goes wrong, and after having a strange sudden fever, Noctis begins to descend into “madness”. Nightmares, paranoia, hallucinations, the lot. His friends are majorly concerned about his mental state, but Noctis is convinced there's something more to it. If this fic had a soundtrack it’d be like all synthwave and shit, and yes of course that’s an important detail lmaooo 3. nemo (FFXV) -- daemonised-imperial-weapon!Noct. Pre-game, canon divergence and all that. Noctis has been transformed and brainwashed into killing for the empire, he's seen as a feral beast and a mindless killing machine, Ardyn is a little too obsessed with him, and there's a secret plot to rescue and bring Noctis back home. 4. Conceal (working title) (FFXV) -- a simple one-shot of bros taking care of Noctis, who has been poisoned and has a fever, basically because I wanted more warm and concerned Gladio lmao. Basically just a caretaking fic. 5. What the Shadows Hide (working title) (Merlin) -- an assassin is loose in Camelot and Arthur has been cursed to lose each of his senses one by one. Featuring a lot of angst on Arthur's part as he struggles to cope with becoming far too physically vulnerable for his liking, and awesome-servant!Merlin who tries his best to help. 6. untitled Merlin/Mordred (Merlin) -- listen Merthur is my otp, and this fic is just in the planning/daydreaming stages, but I am SO EMOTIONALLY INVESTED in this fic idea for some reason and I just need to acknowledge that it exists okay, basically S5 AU where Merlin decides to give Mordred a chance, tells Mordred about his fated role in Arthur's death, and then it's a long journey of becoming friends and then more, which Merlin struggles with because it feels like a betrayal to Arthur and Mordred is like STFU you’re dumb and we're both loyal to him. Anyway basically: good!Mordred, enemies-to friends-to lovers, secret relationship, two sneaky adorable sorcerers trying their best to protect their king and each other ANYWAY I think I'll stop there lol because we'll be here forever. I have a ton of Merlin ideas written down but I’m not actively working on them yet, there are a couple of new FFXV ideas that I've kept off this list because the subjects are heavy, and my Supernatural ideas are currently all variations of Sam recovering from Hell trauma (except the big Silent Hill inspired fic which consists of powerful psychic Sam AND hell trauma). ANYWAAAAAAAAAAAAY. I’m gonna gently tag @breakfastteatime @deducitetemporacarmen @kaelinaloveslomaris @every-lemon @glaivenoct @marmolita but no pressure. Anyone else wants to do this, consider yourself tagged!

The Vacant Days: Japantown (Puzzle I)
Tumblr media
Fandoms: Professor Layton and Zatch Bell! Rating: T Summary: Suzume wished she never come to America. Now, she is stuck in Steam Bison dealing with criminals, a hotel of chaos aka the Triton Manor, rumors, solo investigations, and crazy inventors while she makes sure she doesn't get too attached to Luke, Layton, and Steam Bison. She only got two weeks of Spring Vacation anyway. Crossover AU: Vacantverse TW/CW: Strong Language, Misogynistic Language, Possible OOCness. Notes: So, my dumbass gotta wait until 2025 for the new Layton game's release. So, yay! Time to write crossover headcanons with barely any NWOS info from Level 5's PV video and interviews. Might add more canon sources to the AU because I can and I imagined it all so this AU might be messy lmao. Once the game comes out, I am rewriting the AU as a final version (or not lol) so for now, have random drabbles/oneshots. The chapters are marked by puzzles despite most likely there won't be puzzles in the chapter ha ha ha. I'm too dumb to make up puzzles. Vance and Lance are my random minor villain OCs with random names from random names generator lmao. Same with the villain group name. Yes, I know I suck at writing. Go figure. =D Word Count: 1,773
Tumblr media
Suzume did not expect there was a Japantown in Steam Bison. She, Luke, and Layton arrived at the town. There were street food stands, a ramen shop, a Japanese restaurant, a clothing shop, a souvenir shop, a sushi bar, etc. Suzume hurried to a food stand and ordered wagashi and takoyaki while Luke and Layton checked out the town and its atmosphere. Soon, Luke and Layton were surrounded by people. Suzume smiled. She knew about Luke's reputation as the beloved kid detective of Steam Bison.
'Triton can't even catch a break like a normal teenager. Geez. By the time they'd be done, the food would be cold.'
Suzume noticed a couple of thugs were observing her from an alley. They weren't the same ones who robbed her when she arrived in America. Hopefully, they don't cause trouble in the town. Once her order was done, she thanked the shopkeeper in Japanese and carried the food to a resting area under a Japanese pagoda tower. Sadly, the building was closed for repairs. Suzume could still see Luke and Layton from where she was.
'I'm so hungry, but it'd be rude to start eating without Triton and Mr. Layton.'
Suzume gazed at the sky. It was a clear day. She could see a steamship flying by. She wondered how was her friends doing back in Japan. She thought about Kiyomaro Takamine, her first crush. He was currently in South America with his group. Strangely enough, she did not feel a thing for Kiyomaro. Maybe her heart stopped beating for him years ago. Now, she only saw him as a friend.
"So, if you see a hot American guy, date him, Suzume."
"I wouldn't have the time for that bullshit, Mariko. I'm only going to America to search for my father. Nothing more, nothing less."
Two weeks of Spring vacation before Suzume returned to Japan to attend her university classes. She has a time limit in Steam Bison, so she shouldn't get attached to the residents and places here. Most likely, she isn't coming back to America. Whether she found her father or not.
"Yo."
Suzume looked at the thugs standing before her. She glanced at Luke and Layton. They were still too busy with the crowd.
"Yes? Do you need something?"
"My client has been interested in Japanese inventions. He told me that you are holding a special item."
"What are you talking about?" Suzume asked in confusion.
"Don't play dumb with me, girlie. I know you are Tetsuya Mizuno's daughter."
Suzume froze as her heart sank. She stared at the thug. He had red hair and green eyes. He wore a simple white shirt underneath an unbuttoned brown blazer and dark gray jeans. His lackeys were a brunette with gray eyes and a blonde with blue eyes. They wore similar fashion clothes. She was scared but didn't want to draw attention to her and the thugs. This was her problem since they mentioned her father.
"How did you know I was his daughter?"
"The old man showed a picture to a fashion designer when he requested a custom dress for you." The leader explained. "Then, he headed over to a pub. Believe me, I have my homies as eyes and ears everywhere in the city."
"When did you see my father?" Suzume's expression darkened. "I want answers. Now."
"Relax, girlie. I'll give you answers after you give me the item."
"What item? I'm not even playing dumb here. I am still confused."
The leader pulled out a knife and grabbed Suzume by her wrist. His lackeys grabbed the food and started to eat it. She glared at them.
"Let go of me!" She growled at the redhead.
"No! You aren't even bad-looking! Once you get all dolled up in a sexy outfit, you'll be good for my client!"
"Like hell!" Suzume knee-kicked him in the stomach. "Keep your perverted fantasies to yourself, asshole!"
"You…bitch!" The redhead snarled in pain while on his knees, holding his stomach. "Get her!"
The blonde and the brunette lackeys also pulled out their knives.
"Really? We're doing this right here and now, just a few feet away from a crowd of excited people? Okay." Suzume dodged the brunette and quickly grabbed his arm, twisting it, causing him to drop the knife. "One down."
The blonde attempted to strike her with his knife. Suzume spun around and kicked him in the face.
"What the fuck?!" The redhead called out in disbelief. "Y'all got your asses kicked by a girl?!"
"I'm not a girl. I am a young woman." Suzume approached the leader and scowled at him. "Don't never underestimate girls and women. We could be very nasty if our lives were threatened by men like you." She got on her knees and grabbed his collar. "Now, answer me. Where did you hear about my father?"
"I ain't answering shit. My client will ruin my reputation if I do."
"Screw your reputation! I ain't turning you to the police until you answer my questions!"
"My goodness! What happened here?"
"What are you doing, Miss Mizuno?!"
Suzume paused and looked over at Layton and Luke. They gaped at her in surprise.
"Well. It looks like I found a lead to my father's whereabouts," Suzume answered plainly. "You should contact the police. These thugs attacked me, and I fought back. That's all."
Tumblr media
After the police arrested the thugs, Suzume had to go back to the police headquarters to give a statement. It was such an annoyance. An hour later, she, Luke, and Layton returned to Japantown. Suzume's stomach gurgled.
"I didn't eat earlier!" Suzume yelled in vexation. "Thanks to the jerks!"
"Well, we can order something at one of the food stands," Luke suggested. "We'll eat whatever you choose. The professor and I will buy it."
"It's okay. I'll pay for the food. It's my treat." Suzume smiled kindly at him. 'What the heck does he have, a gentlemen complex?' She thought. "Where's Mr. Layton?"
"The professor is over there, observing the tower." Luke pointed at Layton, standing in front of the Japanese Pagoda.
Suzume nodded. She ordered the food. She looked back at Luke.
"What is it?"
"Nothing." He turned his eyes away from her
Suzume had no idea why Luke was staring at her, and his cheeks were pink. She shrugged. She hoped he wasn't getting sick.
"Yo!" Tweeds appeared and smacked Luke on his back. "I heard Miss Mizuno got jumped by a couple of shitty thugs!"
"Language, Tweeds." Luke frowned at him. "Miss Mizuno is here."
"Chill, dude. She doesn't even mind foul language."
"Actually, I'm the one who jumped them." Suzume corrected Tweeds.
"Wait, what?" Tweeds raised an eyebrow, his mouth opened in shock.
"Yes, it is true. I took self-defense classes."
"You reminded me of Emmy…" Luke told her quietly.
"Who's Emmy?"
"Oh, was she that one woman in yellow with Mr. Layton when they visited Misthallery and met you for the first time? " Tweeds recalled. "I wonder what happened to her."
"Long story short," Luke told him. "Emmy is working with the World Times now."
"A gut feeling tells me you don't want to tell the whole story. Oh well. Anyway, I'm here for the tasty ramen! See ya back home!" Tweeds took off running to the ramen shop.
Tumblr media
"It's pretty late. Shall we head home?" Layton asked.
"Sure. I'm so tired." Luke yawned.
"Triton, have you been sleeping properly?" Suzume gazed at him, concerned about his sleep.
"Yes."
'"Are you sure? It looked like you might be sleep-deprived. I think you should take a break from the cases. Let the police handle the rest."
"Really. I'm fine." Luke smiled at her sleepily.
"Obviously, you aren't fine, Triton."
"I'm sorry to disturb your tender moment, but we got trouble." Layton stood guard as a group of thugs walked out of the alley. "So, I'm assured you gentlemen are from the same group of thugs that attacked Miss Mizuno earlier."
"What does the Serpent Phantoms want from Miss Mizuno?" Luke scowled at the thugs.
"The Serpent Phantoms?" Both Layton and Suzume asked Luke simultaneously.
"Stay the fuck out of this, Triton. It doesn't concern you or the old fuck with the top hat! We only want to speak with the girl. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Vance Crane, the co-leader. Shit, scratch that. I am the leader now since Lance is behind bars along with Marco and Zackary."
"Pardon me?!" Luke reacted in disgust." That's my mentor you're talking about!"
"Calm down, Luke," Layton warned him sternly.
"If you're going to ask me about the item, then I don't have an answer." Suzume sighed in dismay. "Can you let us through? We're trying to get home in peace."
"What item?" Both Luke and Layton shot a bewildered look at Suzume simultaneously.
"They claimed my father had given me something. I have no idea what they are even talking about."
"First of all, how did they even know about your father?" Luke inquired. "Second, why would you leave this detail out of your statement for the police?"
"I told you to fuck off, Triton!" Vance shouted at Luke angrily.
"Please, Mr. Crane. Do not use such foul language in front of a young lady." Layton advised.
"Shut the fuck up, old man! No one is talking to you!"
"Hey! You don't talk to Mr. Layton like that!" Suzume exclaimed in anger. "You can insult me all you want, but don't you dare insult Mr. Layton or Triton! So, I will tell you again. Leave us in peace!"
"A floozy is talking back to me? That's scandalous!" Vance snickered.
"What the hell did you just call me?!" Suzume screeched.
"You're disgusting." Luke reacted angrily. "I can't believe you dare to refer to Miss Mizuno with a misogynistic word."
"I agree, Luke." Layton glared at Vance. "A lady shall be treated with respect."
"Whatever the fuck ever! You and the old man are irrelevant!" Vance laughed mockingly at Luke and Layton.
"Is that why you men are shaking in your boots right now?" Suzume smirked. "Because you're actually fearing Triton, not me?"
The whole group became silent, stunned by Suzume's claim. Their faces were pale.
"Pathetic. This is a waste of time." Suzume turned around and walked away. "Please handle them, Triton, Mr. Layton. I'm going back home."
'So much for me wanting them to stay out of my personal issues.' Suzume thought in distress. '…What I'm even doing anymore?'
She prayed a bystander had contacted the police so Luke or Layton wouldn't have to fight a whole gang. She'd blame herself if anything happened to them.

hi Lui!!! so if you're still taking asks for the WIP Title game (because I am Quite Late, between timezones being terrible and having a long day lmao) would please I be able to get either a snippet or some more info about steve soulmate au??? (my Soulmate AU Supremacy agenda strikes again lmao)
hiii Charlie friend! yes i am of course
there's no snippet yet because i haven't started writing anything but. well, i wrote an eddie X reader soulmate AU fic and then i got a soulmate AU prompt on my Steve Bingo (that i've ditched lmao) and decided to make it an X reader too, to match the eddie one. and then i thought, well if i did steve's to match eddie what if i do one for every spicy six member to match those too..... and so the Spicy Six Soulmate AUs Collection began (just in my head for now skdksjk). the idea is that each fic will be in a different universe with different types of soulmate connections!
so as i said i haven't started on steve's yet but i'm thinking that it's going to be one of those where you get your soulmate scars? i thought about it being the one where you share pain but poor reader doesn't deserve that. but the scars can be nice! steve probably has very little scars before the whole canon stuff start to happen, because he was probably very shielded as a kid and being all preppy and all that. but then he gets beat up by johnny-boy byers and suddenly reader has a cut lip? and an upperbrow scar?? well ok. and then he gets beat up by racistscumbagrove and reader has another brow scar and a nose scar and a forhead scar what is going on with their soulmate? and then steve gets beat up by fucking russians and reader has a THIRD UPPERBROW SCAR WHY IS EVERYONE BEATING HIM IN THE SAME PLACE EVERY YEAR. and then he gets demobats bites but reader doesn't know that and whaaaat is that was he attacked by rats????? i'm thinking it would be fun if reader isn't from hawkins so they really have no idea what is going on with steve because if they were from hawkins it would be pretty easy to find out who their soulmate is because who else is getting yearly beat up like steve is in that fucking town. and they meet up later in life ♡
anyway i don't know much about it yet KSDKAJDSA and i haven't decided the soulmate tropes for the rest of the gang but. eventually. this will all be out here....someday!
ask me about my WIPs!

whispers of what’s gone mayhaps? (For the why I wrote it bingo thing). I think that’s the title? The one theorizing abt TotK.
OH LMAO THIS WILL BE A FUN ONE HOLD MY ROOT BEER
Tumblr media
because I feel like procrastinating further on actually writing things, I'm going to go more in-depth into each of these options.
this idea won't shut up until I write it: it really didn't. I was thinking about a champion powers in totk au for a while, and then I thought of a really great scene and at that point it was a race against time to write it before totk came out and all my silly theorizing would be moot.
everyone lives and nothing hurts: extremely common in my botw/totk fanfic. all four of the champions are blorbo and I care about them quite a lot. choosing a favorite—revali—is easy enough, but it's really hard to choose a second favorite and I'm not sure I could.
I was joking with my friend and it happened: multiple people on discord witnessed me losing my mind about silly goofy theorizing for this one, and suddenly realizing. ah. fuck. I've got to write this now, don't I?
I woke up at 3 am with an idea: strictly speaking it wasn't exactly 3 am, but it was definitely closer to 2 am than to 1 am and I was actively falling asleep when I had the idea for a really, really great scene (and at that point I really, really had to write it.)
thought of a great scene: revali and urbosa full on not realizing that they're not ghosts anymore until revali, supposedly taking advantage of being unable to be seen by the local monsters, is yelling down info about them to link & co. and then gets shot out of the sky. ouchie.
spite: generally a motivator for just about anything I write in some way. in this particular fic it was probably at least partially spite towards 1) ao3 making the utterly terrible decision to consolidate botw and totk into one fandom tag despite the fact that they are two drastically different games and no other zelda games that are sequels to each other (like oot/mm, for instance) are combined in that way. and 2) people who just could not wait any longer for the game and decided to start leaking it all over the internet. it was incredibly difficult to dodge those! if you're going to be impatient, cool, have fun, but don't ruin the game for everyone else who would like to go in blind and is actually being patient!
but what if they were gay?: my general approach to botw fic, let's be honest here. I've always been partial to rivals to lovers as a trope and revali and link are really so much more similar than either of them ever realized.
thought of a great line: "If you truly are Link, you have ten seconds to prove it."
just to see if I could: motivation for a lot of my more out-there ideas, honestly. I enjoy messing around with my writing, I enjoy testing my limits and trying new things. also, I was curious how much my own thoughts would be connected to actual canon. in the end, it was a surprising amount!
anyway, had to type out the second half of that twice because yay thanks tumblr for being a functioning site, but if you haven't read this fic and you're vaguely interested you can find it here, and if there are any other fics of mine—long, short, anything in between—that you'd like me to fill this out for, my askbox is always open <3
thanks for the ask, anon!

"What is this?" Peter asked, raising an eyebrow at you.
You set the tupperware bowl of soup down on his windowsill, glad you had generic, unrecognizable bowls. It wasn't the first time you brought him food in these - but it was your first time doing it with cat ears on.
"You said yesterday that your aunt was sick," you shrugged, "It's a family recipe. Swear it can cure anything."
Peter stared at you for a minute, "You...brought soup...for my aunt?"
"Well, yeah. You sounded worried about her, and I don't want anything to happen to her. I understand how hard it is to be sick when working full time."
You understood even more so as Y/N how much May worked, and it worried you before you knew and Peter were soulmates. Peter stressed as much to you how he hated that she worked overtime almost every week, and the idea that she was doing it while fighting a cold bothered you.
But, you figured Peter would accept soup before he'd accept stolen money, even if it would help the bills.
"Thank you," he said quietly, and you felt your lips rise up in a smile. He'd never thanked you for anything you brought before.
"Of course. I hope she feels better soon."
Peter set the soup on his desk next to the homework he'd been working on slowly, his eyebrows scrunched up like he was thinking too hard. You wanted to make some joke about how grumpy he looked, but luckily caught yourself at the last minute - that was a Y/N joke. Not a Black Cat one.
"How was your day today?" You asked, hoping you could get an actual answer. Usually you would get a short response or him just ignoring you and sticking headphones in until you got the hint.
"It was alright," he answered, and you tried not to look surprised. He couldn't see your face, anyway. "Most of my classes are just watching movies since Thanksgiving is coming up."
"Same," you responded, "But one of my teachers assigned a pop quiz the day before break, so."
"That sucks," Peter muttered, and you had to agree. This was usually the part where you would try to continue the conversation and Peter would start to get annoyed, but for some reason today felt different. So you asked a question you were sure would annoy him.
"What's your favorite movie?"
You already knew it, of course, but it was kind of funny to watch him struggle to not answer simple question. Any time you asked him about himself, he just seemed to shut down - like he was already annoyed you knew his name, but he definitely didn't want you to know his favorite color or anything. That would just be too much info, apparently.
It was silly to think he would talk to you at all, so you tried not to gape when he actually answered.
"A New Hope," he glanced toward the back of his room, probably at his Star Wars collection. You tried not to smile at the memory of his excitement when he found a collectible set for dirt cheap on craigslist. "What's yours? Ocean 8?" You burst out laughing.
"Really? Couldn't think of anything better than that?"
"There's not a lot of movies to choose from," he grumbled. "Aren't women stealing things kind of your brand?"
"Sure. But no, it's not Oceans 8." You told him what it really was, not even thinking that you should lie.
"Really?" Peter asked, his eyebrows knit, and you realized your mistake a little too late. Surely a lot of other people liked that movie, so it shouldn't give you away?
"Mhm. Who's your favorite Spider-Man villain?"
"Are you serious?" Peter sounded more amused than irritated, which made you grin.
"Yes, dead serious. Mine is probably Gobby. He put so much effort into his costume."
"Not yourself?"
"Come on, I'm not a villain," you joked, "I'm more like...a modern Robin Hood. With cat ears."
"A modern Robin Hood," he repeated, "Yeah, that's definitely what the headlines are calling you."
"I don't know why they went with Black Cat, it's a little boring, just too straight to the point," you scoffed, "Like, the way they came up with Spider-Man's name, too. For the record, he is definitely not a man. Like our age at most, but probably younger."
"Younger?" He made a face, and you chuckled, "What...makes you think that?"
"The voice cracks. It's hilarious."
Peter frowned at that, almost making you laugh more, but you were on a roll with the questions now. Any minute he'd probably realize he was sharing too much.
"I'm curious about something."
"Isn't that bad for cats?"
You cracked a smile, pretending you didn't see his own at that stupid joke. You almost wondered if he had just been waiting for you to say that so he could use that line. "What did you think your click was going to be like?"
"That's...quite the topic change."
"You were getting too comfortable. You gotta expect deep questions once you tell me your favorite movie, come on now."
He snorted, though you both knew you were right even if it was a joke. He had been genuinely relaxed for the last few minutes, which was unusual. It was almost too weird, even. You didn't want to get your hopes up that he might actually be enjoying your presence.
He seemed to think about your original question for a minute, and you saw him glance up at his wall of photographs. "I wanted it to be someone specific."
"Ah," you looked away, frowning. You didn't let yourself think about who he could've had in mind.
"Look, even if I met you out of the mask, I probably would've been a little disappointed since you aren't her anyway. Does that make you feel any better?"
"Oh, yeah, for sure," you said sarcastically, and he rolled his eyes. "I can't blame you. I had someone specific in mind too. Ideally, someone who actually liked me back."
But you didn't say you were disappointed, because you weren't. You had Peter in mind, and he was your soulmate. Are you disappointed that he hates you? Of course. Are you disappointed that it's him?
Not even a little.
"Well, I'm sorry it didn't work out the way you wanted it to," he said quietly.
"I'm not," you said simply, and Peter gave you a funny look. "I think you're great. I trust the universe did this for a reason."
"I tell you I don't like you almost every day."
"And I don't care. You won't always hate me. I'll keep trying to make you at least tolerate me. Maybe one day you'll even like me a little."
"I don't understand why you even bother," his tone got hard again, and you frowned. "I've told you before, and I keep telling you - as long as you're Black Cat, it wouldn't change anything for me. So why do you keep trying?"
"Can't you see it?" You asked with a soft laugh, "It's not even just about us being soulmates and me wanting to try to have some kind of semblance of a relationship. It's also about how being around you makes me better. I haven't had the bad luck since I started seeing you. No one has gotten hurt around me, and I know it's because of the soulmate bond."
You knew you were right, too. The bad luck thing, sure, but you also were happy around him - both as Black Cat and as Y/N, even with his attitude problem. Especially with the way he's been warming up to you, even when there's still conversations like this one when he makes it clear he won't change his feelings.
You knew now that you couldn't stop trying, and you wouldn't want to. Even with all the issues surrounding your relationship, you knew you loved him - really, you knew before the soulmate click, too.
Surely that had to mean something.
He frowned, finally answering, "Then shouldn't you want to be away from me? So you can keep your power?"
"Peter," you shut your eyes and dropped your forehead on your knees, "Why would I want to keep it? Sure, it helps me sometimes, but it's unpredictable. People could die."
Peter was silent, picking at the ends of his sweater while he contemplated that. "I didn't think the soulmate bond was strong enough to alter powers."
"I didn't think so either," you turned your head to look at him, "But it's supposed to bring out the best in us. My best is when I'm not causing bad luck to everyone around me."
"And what is the bond bringing out in me, then?"
"You're already the best version of yourself," you said quietly, looking away from Peter's eyes. "Maybe your secret super power is putting up with having a criminal for a soulmate."
He snickered, shaking his head, "So, patience?"
"I'm the only one playing the patience game here," you almost smiled, "It took like five visits before the first thing you said to me wasn't 'go away'."
"Yeah," he shrugged. "I guess you are pretty patient."
"Ha. You just called me pretty."
"Are you this annoying outside of the suit?"
You cracked a small smile, "Oh, absolutely."
He rolled his eyes before turning back to his homework, and you pretended not to see the small grin on his lips.
"So, who's the person you wanted it to be?" You asked carefully, adjusting the cat ears resting on your hair, "Gotta know my competition."
"There'd be no competition," he snorted, "If she wanted me, I'd pick her in a heartbeat. And no, I'm not stupid enough to tell a wanted criminal the name of the person I would pick over her."
"Me-owch," you tried to joke, but Peter's face was serious. "Okay, I get it. But you know, I would never hurt anyone you cared about, even in that way. Seriously."
His face reflected that he didn't believe you, and that almost hurt more than the constant reminders that he would never like you back. You knew you weren't making progress in that part of this messed up relationship - but you really thought that maybe he would start trusting that you were telling him the truth.
Guess you were wrong.
"Sorry," he muttered, as if he could hear those thoughts in your head.
You stood up, taking that as your cue to head out. "They're really lucky, you know. To be loved by you. I'm sorry they weren't your soulmate instead."
He looked back up at his photo wall again, and you were gone before he could reply.
-
When Peter texted you and Ned that he wasn't coming to school because he caught whatever May had, you decided it was well worth the risk to go check on him.
Maybe you could've gone as Y/N, but you had done worse things than try to win some brownie points with him as Black Cat. And the fact that he left his window open besides the cold weather and his sickness told you that he was likely expecting you, anyway.
You hadn't gone into his room before as Black Cat, but as soon as you landed on his balcony you realized he was in bed and definitely not getting up anytime soon. He didn't tell you to get out when you knocked on the glass, peeking your head in, so you took it as an okay.
"Hey," you said softly, feeling your face fall at how sick he looked, "You doing alright?"
"I'd be better if I was left alone," he grumbled, and you couldn't even be upset about that. Still, he didn't tell you to leave, so you easily hopped into his room.
"Then maybe don't leave your window open," you teased, setting the bowl and bag down, "I promise I won't bother you today, though. I just brought you some things, I'll leave right after. The soup I gave your aunt, some vitamin c. Also, I put some ginger tea bags in here, those always help me when I'm ill."
"How did you even know I was sick?"
"Soulmate things," you winked, but he just groaned and leaned back again.
"What are you doing?" Peter asked flatly, sniffing. You looked back at where he was now sitting up, his hair sticking up wildly and his nose red. How could he still look so cute even when he was so sick?
"Well, I figured your aunt was probably busy catching up with work, so I wanted to make sure you were taken care of," you shrugged, and he shut his eyes.
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean?"
"Why do you keep trying? I don't get it. I get that being near me helps with the bond and keeping the bad luck away, but...why do you keep trying to make me like you?"
You stared at him, almost wondering if he was faking the confused expression on his face. Surely, he had to know.
"I thought it was obvious."
"Well, clearly it's not," he sounded stuffy and tired, but he wasn't going to let that stop him from talking, apparently. "We've been over your feelings about wanting a soulmate, sure, but I've also made it clear how I feel. If I were you, I would've given up ages ago with the way I've been acting. I don't see why you keep trying when you know-"
"I'm in love with you, Peter," you snapped, and he immediately shut up, "I have been since pretty much our click. It wasn't like I was hiding it. That's...that's why I keep trying with you, okay?"
Peter suddenly started having a coughing fit, and you winced - probably not a great time to drop that bomb. Really, you shouldn't have said it at all, but you would rather be honest where you could be, since you couldn't be honest about your identity.
It was risky and stupid, but you stepped toward him and grabbed the water on his bedside table, handing it to him. You felt weird being this close to him in the suit, almost jumpy. You wanted to pat his back but you had a feeling that he wouldn't want you to touch him at all.
"I think I'm having a fever dream," Peter finally said, and you forced a laugh.
"No, sorry," you apologized, "Probably shouldn't have sprung that on you when you're fighting a cold. But you were irritating me with your obliviousness."
Peter stared at you, almost like he was searching your expression for any hint of you kidding - but it wasn't like he could see through your mask. Obviously, or at least you thought it was obviously, you weren't joking.
"You can't be serious," he said weakly, "I knew you wanted a relationship, but...you can't be in love with me just like that. You can't be that stupid."
Ouch. But expected.
"Yes, I can be. Clearly I am, being in love with someone I know I can't have," you forced any pain that statement brought down, hoping it was coming off as if you didn't care how he felt. "I figured you knew. I mean, I have been coming here for a few months now and putting up with you."
"No. I wish I did, I would've told you to stay away even more," he muttered, and you clenched your jaw, glad he couldn't see your expression under your mask. "You know I don't love you back. And I never can. Even if you told me who you were, right now."
"I would, you know," you said quietly, finally making Peter look up at you. "If it meant I even had a one in a million chance of you feeling the same, I would break every rule I gave myself and tell you who I am right now."
"Why?" He asked incredulously, "That would be stupid. I...I would have to turn you in. That can't be worth it to you."
"I know you would," you said softly, sighing before moving back to his window. "I hope you feel better soon, Peter."
You didn't give him the chance to respond.
