Lilibear and Rachis are both furry OCs who were adapted into WoW but the way they go about it is different and it's pretty interesting to me
Lilibear was pretty much copy pasted 1:1 from my headworld to WoW. She lends herself pretty well to the setting as is, so there isn't much palpable difference between her iterations other than minor lore tweaks between them - but that means that WoW Lilibear doesn't have much of a story going on seeing as she isn't involved in any of my major WoW stories. OG Lilibear is much the same, but mostly because my headworld doesn't have much of a story either (also Lilibear is technically one of my fursonas so that contributes to a Lack of Lore tm)
Rachis on the other hand was adapted into WoW specifically to fulfil a role in a story, and her WoW iteration became Acácia. OG Rachis has about as much going on for her story wise as Lilibear, which means that now Rachis and Acácia feel like very different people despite still technically being the same character.

“And here we are!” Acacia looked up when they heard the automated voice, and they looked to see... what seemed to be a bunch of mercenaries looking at Lethe. Acacia smiled a little bit and waved to them.

Meanwhile, a certain scientist had created a little surprise for his previous creation...

[June, Quiet, Rosir, Monufel, Reek, Hades, Orvenaq, Craig, Doge, Buck, Colton, Lethe, Acacia, and Blythe have been added!]

In my neverending quest to keep Pampérigouste from achieving her dreams, I have launched a formal investigation into her last escape, which I had no explanations for at the time.
Tumblr media
I figured it out! At the far far end of her pasture, near the road, a few fence posts have become more or less horizontal (the ground is quite wet / muddy there so they've never been very stable, especially with Pirlouit using them to scratch his forehead)—so instead of a high jump + long jump combo to get to the road, Pampe just had to clear the long jump over the ditch. Which is still impressive.
I also suspect that she chose to escape from this place near the road on a snowy morning as a deliberate strategy, knowing the snow plough would erase any traces of her jump, thus preventing me from discovering where the weak spot in the fence was. Well done.
Tumblr media
You need 2 people to fix these fence posts so in the meantime I decided to kill two birds with one stone: cut all the broom and thorny bushes in this corner of the pasture and use them to form a discouraging barrier. I set to work earlier this week, and here's the same place as above, mid-process:
Tumblr media
When I texted my mum to tell her about my new thorn-based anti-Pampe plan of action, she said "Like the Maasai who make fences with thorny acacia branches to keep out lions!" and it made me feel even more confident. I mean, I have neither acacia nor Maasai fencing techniques but my thorny shrubs are pretty aggressive, they pricked my fingers even through my thick work gloves—which felt satisfying in an anticipatory way. Excellent! prick Pampe's nose exactly like this. How could a llama not be deterred by a fence material that deters apex predators?
Vexingly enough, she seemed quite supportive of my efforts. At one point she breathed some warm air against my shoulder in a gentle, patronising way.
Tumblr media
We were engaged in psychological warfare all afternoon—every time I stepped away from my vegetal fence, feeling like it was now good enough, Pampe would immediately come to inspect it, cheerful and impatient, which sapped my confidence so I would go and add a few more shrubs. (Note that I sort of plaited the first / biggest shrubs with the pre-existing fence so they don't go flying on the road, and so Pampe can't just push them aside.)
On the right: Poldine, looking for little fresh leaves to eat amidst the chaos. On the left: Pampérigouste, thinking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(At this point the barrier was only 20% thorns, and 80% broom—the fact that she waded through it without a care and didn't prick her belly made me go and add more thorny shrubs, and pack them more densely)
It's kind of fun watching Pampe think, honestly. Can I jump over this? Do I have enough visibility? Can I eat my way to freedom (again)? But these shrubs are disgusting. Am I above exploiting my daughter's lack of culinary discernment to achieve my goals? Maybe I should go back to my calculations re: probability of wild boar destruction. I may have pincushions for hands after handling prickly bushes for two hours but I'm helping stimulate my llama's intellect and creativity and that's so important.
I tried to alternate broom and thorny branches so that the non-thorny broom became tangled up with thorns and brambles to form an impenetrable and incomprehensible wall. I will call it this method the salmagundi-fence.
Tumblr media
Poldine is in awe of my vegetal installation.
Can I just say, compared to Pampérigouste who constantly has a devilish glint in her eye, Pampelune's face exudes wholesome politeness and moral goodness. It's still hard to believe they're mother and daughter.
Tumblr media
I went home once my fence started looking like Maleficent's forest of thorns and Pampe had long stopped trying to wade through it, but I still felt antsy and ended up coming back one hour later to have my apéritif with the llamas so I could keep an eye on Pampe until nightfall.
Tumblr media
... where is Pampe?
Oh. Here. No worries!
Tumblr media
Still staring at the road. Still thinking.
Tumblr media
...
With all that said, please admire my beautifully delirious Forest of Thorns-fence and let me know what you think.

hs kids' first day on the earth c minecraft survival server
jake: starts digging straight down as soon as he spawns. keeps digging. keeps digging. keeps digging. no one ever sees him again
jane: enters ready to get everyone organized. half the server immediately runs off doing their own thing. stops the remaining crew before they wander off so they can start building a base before it turns to night. gives everyone roles and then has to go afk because she was on her lunch break and is actually playing minecraft on her company computer. comes back hours later and finds the entire server on fire.
karkat: gets a stone hoe and some wheat seeds thrown at him and is told to set up a wheat farm. nods even though he's never played minecraft before and doesn't know how. clicks the ground with the hoe and it seems to do something so he does that for a while. dave comes over and asks him why he's been just plowing the ground in one really long straight line. tells him to fuck off so he does. wishes he hadn't when he realizes he could've asked him for help. figures out that if you click on the ground with the seed it plants it and decides he's actually a minecraft genius and doesn't need anybody's help at all. dusts his hands off proud of the work he's done and then goes to try to find kanaya.
kanaya: is given a stone axe and is told to chop down some wood for the houses. does and gives roxy some stacks and goes to chop down some more wood because she honestly finds it kind of therapeutic. ends up clearing an entire mountain. night comes and mobs start sprouting up and she chops them down too. is surrounded by fields of floating rotten flesh and bones and cursed armor when suddenly she sees flames in the distance near the base. starts marching down there with the grim resolution of an executioner, ready to now start chopping some necks.
terezi: learns how to craft a flint and steel and discovers the magic of fire. laughs maniacally as she starts burning cows she runs into and laughs even more when she discovers they drop cooked meat. wants to find more things to burn. finds a raider's base and the sound of the wood torching up into flames does something to her and she starts setting fire to the entire forest. stumbles across the base. sets fire to one of the buildings. karkat comes over and yells and asks what the fuck she's doing. sets karkat on fire. laughs as she watches him run in circles not knowing how to stop the flames. suddenly gets murked by kanaya who's sneaked up behind her, and continues being hunted down by her as she respawns for the rest of the night.
jade: wanders off and finds a cute little village. decides that she's adopting it now. places some flowers she's picked along the way around to make it look nice and pretty. tames and places some cats around the perimeter and puts some torches nearby to keep away mobs. builds a water fountain in the middle of the town square. waves goodbye to go find some wolves to tame and promises that she'll be back.
dave: builds elaborately detailed dirt penises all over the farm while karkat works and negs him. karkat tells him to fuck off and go do something useful. fucks off accordingly and finds jade's village. raids everything from the chests and all the crops. puts dirt dicks all over the place. kills the cats for string and free exp. kills some sheep and creates beds and pushes some of the villagers inside a shitty little acacia building he made with a sign on it saying "breeding pen". throws some potatoes at them and then blocks up the entrance. turns around and immediately gets blown up by a creeper.
calliope: is the only one given op privileges as she is the only one that everyone can trust to have it. decides she wants to build a big cool glass castle in the sky. has just finished building the base when jade types in chat that whoever destroyed her village is going to pay. types "oh no!!!" in the chat. gets a dm from dave asking her for sanctuary because jade is going to KILL him. remembers that he's made NFTs. sends jade screenshots of the exact incriminating parts in the server log and happily continues building her castle.
rose: has debug screen turned on. immediately crafts several stone axes. runs off to the nearby desert and finds a desert temple and raids it, crafting an iron bucket. fills it with water and goes to a lava pool and builds a nether portal. enters the nether. speed bridges over to a nether fortress and makes a wither skeleton farm and proceeds to grind for ~3-4 hours. collects enough wither skulls. readies her bow and summons the wither and starts using its detonating blasts to mine down for ancient debris.
roxy: tried to convince everybody at the beginning to download 727378282 mods to make the server "more FUN!!". was unsuccessful. gets told to make some houses and beds for the base so she does. looks for other things to do and finds karkat's wheat farm and is flabbergasted. why is it in one long straight line. there isn't even any water. where is the water? tells john to go get her some redstone while she fixes it up so she can automate it.
john: not sure what to do. roxy tells him to start mining for redstone ("its red and shiny lol you wont have to dig that far"). digs straight down into a cave. realizes he forgot to get wood but decides to go on anyway. uses up all his stone pickaxes mining copper because he doesn't know what it is and it looks cool. hits a slime and it divides into more slimes and he freaks out and runs away with two hearts. keeps running and finds a door in the side of the cave wall. opens it. wanders around in a cool maze and then enters a weird room with some yellow and green chest like boxes. suddenly gets attacked by a little bug making a screechy sound and panics and dies.
dirk: rounds up some animals into pens for the base and then busts out a boat and a fishing pole to try to get them a book of mending. is chilling in the middle of the ocean and then sees that dave gets blown up by a creeper in chat. asks if he's okay and if he needs someone to come over. sees that karkat got killed by terezi. sees that terezi got killed by kanaya. asks what is going on. is now rowing back towards base. jade types that her village has been destroyed. jane has logged on and is asking why the entire base is on fire. is crafting buckets and filling them with water. sees that rose got an achievement for summoning the wither. texts her "Dude did you just summon the Wither???". rose ominously replies "I've got it handled." sees john got killed by a silverfish and roxy asking when the hell john found the stronghold. jake gets a cheating death with a totem of undying achievement. proceeds to have a total aneurysm.

What Ukrainians ate to survive Holodomor
(translated excerpts from an Історична Правда article): + images source
The villagers would dig up the holes of the polecats to find at least a handful of grain hidden by these animals. They pounded it in a mortar, added a handful of oilcake (from hemp seed), beetroot, potato peelings, and baked something from this mixture.
Those who managed to hide at least a little grain would grind it in iron mills made from wheel axles and cook "zatyrukha" (a concoction made from a small amount of flour ground from ears of grain).
Acacia flowers were boiled and eaten raw, and green quinoa was mixed with crushed corn cobs. Those who could - and this was considered lucky - added a handful of bran. This food made their feet swell and their skin crack.
Tumblr media
The peasants dried the husked ears of corn and millet husks, pounded them, ground them with weeds, and cooked soups and baked pancakes. Such dishes were impossible to chew, the body could not digest them, so people had stomach aches. Pancakes, the so-called "matorzhenyky", were made from oilcake and nettle or plantain.
It went so far that peasants would crumble straw into small chips and pound it in a mortar together with millet and buckwheat chaff, and tree bark. All this was mixed with potato peelings, which were very poisonous, and this mixture was used to bake "bread", the consumption of which caused severe stomach diseases.
There were cases when village activists took away and broke millstones, mortars, poured water on the heat in their ovens. After all, anything found or saved from the food had to be cooked on fire, and matches could only be purchased by bartering for their own belongings or by buying them in the city, which was impossible from villagers that were on "black lists".
Tumblr media
Chestnuts, aspen and birch bark, buds, reed roots, hawthorn and rose hips, which were the most delicious, were used as food substitutes; various berries, even poisonous ones, were picked; grass seeds were ground into flour; "honey" from sugar beets was cooked, and water brewed with cherry branches was drunk. They also ate the kernels of sunflower seeds.
Newborns had the worst of it, because their mothers had no breast milk. According to testimonies, a mother would let her child suck the drink from the top of the poppy head, and the child would fall asleep for three days.
In early spring, the villagers began to dig up old potato fields. They would bake dumplings from frozen potatoes, grind rotten potatoes in a mash and make pancakes, greasing the frying pan with wheel grease. They also baked "blyuvaly" (transl. "vomities") from such potatoes and oatmeal mixed with water, which was so called because they were very smelly.
Tumblr media
They ate mice, rats, frogs, hedgehogs, snakes, beetles, ants, worms, i.e. things that weren't a part of food bans and had never been eaten by people before. The horror of the famine is also evidenced by the consumption of spiders, which are forbidden to kill in Ukrainian society for ritual reasons.
In some areas, slugs were boiled into a soup, and the cartilaginous meat was chopped and mixed with leaves. This prevented swelling of the body and contributed to survival. People caught tadpoles, frogs, lizards, turtles, and mollusks. They boiled them, adding a little salt if there was salt. The starving people caught cranes, storks, and herons, which have been protected in Ukraine for centuries, and their nests were never destroyed. According to folk beliefs, eating stork meat was equated with cannibalism.
The consumption of horse meat began in 1931, before the mass famine. People used to take dead horsemeat from the cemeteries at night, make jelly out of it and salt it for future use.
Tumblr media
Dead horses were poured with carbolic acid to prevent people from taking their meat, but it hardly stopped anybody. Dead collective farm pigs were also doused with kerosene to prevent people from dismantling them for food, but this did not help either.
After long periods of starvatiom, the process of digestion is very costing for the human body, and many people who would eat anything would drop dead immediately out of exhaustion.
If a family had a cow hidden somewhere in the forest, they had a chance to survive. People living near forests could hunt/seek out berries and mushrooms, but during winter this wouldn't save them. People living near rivers could fish in secret, but it was banned and punishable by imprisonment/death.

I think I may have just found the most Saimatsu song in the universe. It's a piano cover of Nat King Cole's "When I Fall In Love" blended with "Clair De Lune," and I am quite literally in tears. 😭💕
"When I fall in love it will be forever Or I'll never fall in love"
"When I give my heart it will be completely Or I'll never give my heart"

Hi mao. I don't know this is weird or not but may I ask you about blue lock boys (aiku,barou,kunigami,tokimitsu and maybe your favourite) have s/o that have a'parents energy'. Like more mature,calm,kind and take care them something like that.
That’s nothing weird! I mean, mom friends are a thing and taking care of your partner is very normal
Tags: gn!reader, established relationship
Oliver
-he may be the one looking like a dilf at the fine age of 19 but you’re the one who acts way more mature than him
-Oliver can act mature when he wants to, but most of the time… he doesn’t
-sometimes he gets stupid ideas and you’re the one who stops him because you’re afraid he might get himself into a mess
-because of you, Oliver realizes how immature he used to be when it came to dating. He never took anything serious until he fell in love with you, and that’s when he promised himself he’ll be more serious (at least when it comes to dating) and be a bit more like you
Barou
-his main love language is acts of service, so he often tries to do things for you. You immediately make him stop, though. It’s so you can be the one who does things and takes care of him
-especially in the beginning of the relationship, Barou felt very conflicted about this. But because it’s your way of expressing love he grew to enjoy being taken care of by you
-even Barou sometimes needs to let go of his strong and tough personality and be a little softer, especially if he can do it in a safe environment with you, where he knows he won’t get teased for showing a softer side of him
-but his main love language is still acts of service and that won’t change just because you want to do everything for him all the time. He will find ways to do acts of service for you
Kunigami
-your gentle personality made him fall in love with you very quickly. And even though he never said it explicitly, it’s obvious how much he loves being taken care of you. Even if it’s just a little thing like you making a cup of tea for him, it makes him feel loved like nothing else
-he’s also very glad about how mature you are because that means you very rarely have any irrational or unnecessary arguments. Actually, each time there is a misunderstanding, you two can solve it very quickly
-whenever he has a problem, you’re the first person Kunigami comes to for advice. He knows that not only are you great at giving advice, but you also help him to solve those problems in the easiest way
Tokimitsu
-he very much loves being taken care of by you. Sometimes he needs to be babied and you’re the perfect partner for that
-whenever he feels anxious, it only takes a hug from you to calm him down. There’s something very special and calming in your touch that makes him feel safe in an instant
-you always help him to get back to rational thoughts when he’s panicking. He very much needs that. A lot. And he’s very glad you never get annoyed by him and still take care of him, no matter of “unnecessary” his problems might seem

Hi. First I wanted to congratulate you on your follower eveny. Second, I being a request for your event.
Can I get acacia: secret love with Dogma x female reader. The reader is Dogma's best kept secret and maybe his brothers find out when they spot the two of them together and when they bring it up to Dogma he tries to deny it but he's a bad liar. His brothers are really happy that he finally has someone and at the end maybe they meet the reader?
You're Late
Summary: You've been dating Dogma for 6 months, and you know that you love him and you know that he loves you, but you're starting to wonder why he's not willing to introduce you to his brothers.
Pairing: Clone Trooper Dogma x F!Reader
Word Count: 1310
Warnings: Some minor angst in the beginning due to a misunderstanding
Prompt: Acacia - Secret love
Tagging: @trixie2023 @n0vqni @clonethirstingisreal (I remember that you love Dogma, so I tagged you, I hope you don't mind.)
Tumblr media
“Hey, Dogma?” You ask, your voice soft as you watch him pull his armor on to get ready for another day at work. He really shouldn’t spend the night with you, he has to wake up so early to make it back to the barracks before anyone notices that he’s gone.
He says that the nights he spends with you are worth the early mornings.
But you worry.
“What’s wrong, cyare?” He asks, stopping what he’s doing to turn his concerned gaze over to you. 
You shift in the bed and lean your head on his pillow, “You know you don’t have to spend the night with me, right?”
He laughs quietly, “Oh, ner cyare,” Dogma leans over to you and presses a feather light kiss against the corner of your lips, “I love spending the nights with you.”
“I know you do,” You reassure, “But you have to wake up so early to get back in time-” 
“-and you worry about me. I know, cyare, I know.” He presses several more feather light kisses across your face, “But really, I’m more than happy with how we are right now.”
Dogma tenderly pushes some of your hair out of your face, and you lean your head into his touch with a happy sigh.
You’ve been dating Dogma for almost half a year now, and you’ve never been happier in your life, even if, sometimes, you worry that you’re just making his life more difficult. 
Especially since he doesn’t take you places.
In half a year, you’ve never gone out on a date with him. And you know that part of it is because he doesn’t have any money and he’s embarrassed about it. But even when you offer to pay, he still doesn’t take you out places.
You’ve known from the first time you invited him to your place that you’re not good enough for him, but it still kind of hurts to know that he agrees.
“Cyar’ika?” Dogma’s voice is soft, and you look up at him, he has a look of worry on his handsome face, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Cyare.”
You frown at him, and then sigh, “It’s not important, Dogma. Really.”
“I don’t believe you,” He glances at the chrono quickly, and then settles in the bed next to you, his arms strong around you, “Come on, cyar’ika, what’s wrong?”
You hesitate for a long moment, but Dogma’s gaze is steady and you wilt under his expectant gaze, “Are you ashamed to be seen with me?”
Dogma pulls back, “What.”
You drop your gaze, your eyes tracing the Republic cog on his shirt, “I know I’m not exactly the type of person that anyone would ever suspect that you’d be interested in-” You start as you likely flick a strand of your pastel dyed hair, “And-”
“Wait, wait. Cyare.” He presses his finger against your lips, “Why would you think I’m ashamed?”
You curl your fingers into his shirt, “...you don’t take me places. And you don’t come with me to places. So-”
Dogma exhales slowly before he presses his forehead against yours, “That’s not it at all.” He says quietly, “I’m not, and have never been, ashamed of being seen with you.”
“Then why?”
He flashes a crooked smile, “I’m greedy.” Dogma admits, “At the end of the day, I just want it to be you and me.” He lightly brushes his fingers against your cheek, “I didn’t know you were unhappy, cyare. I’m sorry.”
“I’m not unhappy.” You reply, “I was just a little…hurt.”
“That’s so much worse.” He says with a sigh, before he lightly kisses you. And then he kisses you again, and again.
“You’re going to be late,” You whisper to him before he can continue kissing you. Dogma pauses and he looks down at you, and then over at the chrono, and then back at you.
“Rex is just going to have to yell at me,” Dogma says finally, before he strips his shirt off, and crashes his lips against yours. “And,” He says between heavy kisses, “When I get back tonight, we’re going out.”
“A-are we?” You ask.
“Yeah. We are.”
Dogma doesn’t leave for work for another hour, making him very, very late.
Tumblr media
Dogma slips into the barracks, over an hour late, hoping beyond all hope, that Rex didn’t notice that he was gone.
A fool’s hope, maybe, but he’s okay playing the fool for the day. Especially since it meant that he was able to make his pretty cyare smile at him and forget all of her hurt.
“Dogma!”
Kriff.
He immediately snaps to attention as Rex storms over, looking about as cheerful as a Rancor with a thorn in it’s foot, “Good Morning, Captain.”
“Formation was an hour ago, Dogma.”
“Yes sir.”
“You’re late.”
“Yes sir.”
Rex’s eyes narrow, “Where have you been?”
Dogma flounders for a moment. It’s not exactly like he can say that he hurt his girlfriend’s feelings and spent the last hour making up for it. “Respectfully, sir, I don’t want to answer that.” He finally says with a resigned sigh.
There’s a muffled laugh, and Dogma catches Fives looking very amused, while Jesse just looks stunned. Rex, however, looks thunderous. “You don’t want to answer.”
“No sir, I don’t.” Dogma replies.
For a moment, Dogma’s a little worried that his brother is going to actually explode, and he’s relieved when Fives interjects on his behalf, right up until he hears what Fives has to say, “Come on, vod. Don’t be too hard on him. He was obviously with his girl.”
Rex pauses, genuinely thrown, “His girl?”
“Yeah.” Fives grins and walks over to Dogma to tug down the collar of his neck, revealing the red mark on his neck, “See.”
Dogma smacks his brother’s hand away, “Do you mind?”
“You have a girlfriend and didn’t tell us?” Tup asks from another door, “What’s her name?”
“I don’t want to answer that either.” Dogma says dryly.
“Alright!” Rex grins, it's not a nice grin, “You have two options. Option one, you run until I get tired of watching you run. Option 2, you call your girl and invite her to meet the boys.”
Dogma stares at him, consideringly, for a moment, and then he sighs and digs his comm out of his pouch before dialing a comm code that he knows by heart.
The comm chimes once, twice, and then-
“Hey Dogma! Did you forget something?” She appears on the holo, a bright smile on her face, and a smear of paint on her face.
“Have I ever?” Dogma asks with an easy grin, “You have some paint on your cheek, gorgeous.”
She blinks at him, and then sniffs dramatically, “I have to become one with the paint before I can use it.” She grins at him fondly, “Were you late?”
“By an hour.”
“I told you~” She counters in a sing-song voice.
“Yeah, yeah. Worth it though,” Dogma replies.
“Stars, you’re such a man sometimes.” She says with a shake of her head, and then she turns away from the holo, “Anyway, what’s up?”
“My brothers want to meet you.”
“Like. Tonight?”
“Like now. How do you feel about hopping a taxi and coming and spending the day with me?”
She tosses her paintbrush to the side where it lands with a clatter on the floor, “Yes! But I’m coming as is.”
“Doesn’t matter, you’re prettier than all of us combined.” Dogma replies.
She laughs, “Charmer. I’ll be there in 15.” And then the comm cuts off and Dogma looks up at his brothers.
“She’s cute, vod.” Fives says with a grin.
“I’m happy for you, vod.” Rex says quietly, “Don’t ever be late again.” And then he rounds on his other brothers, “Oi! We have company coming! Do you want her to think we live in a sty! Get cleaning!”
