♡ How to earn the lion's love ♡

-> things you can do to make this lazy lion love you to the moon and back

leona x reader (fluff!)

check out malleus' version here! -> ♡ how to gain the dragon's affection ♡

Lull him to sleep!

Yes, I know he can easily fall asleep on his own already, but if you were there with him, he would sleep 10x better! Do anything to relax him. Let him rest his head on your lap, run your fingers through his smooth mane, or maybe even hum a soft tune and he will be at peace.

The first time you have him lay his head on your lap, he'll feel a bit tense. Sure, he's used to others doing things for him, but he's not used to being given such intimate affection. Assure him that it's okay to be this vulnerable. Though, you needn't say anything at all. Tell him by gently rubbing his temples, enveloping him with the warmth of your hands, and feel as he allows himself to let go as the weight of his head falls deeper into your lap. If he wakes up and sees you smiling tenderly down at him, he might immediately pop up off your lap. He'd do this, not because you startled him, but because his heart can't handle such a beautiful sight and he'd need to hide the faint blush on his cheeks.

Shower him with compliments!

This guy has a lot of pride and an ego that needs to frequently be fed. Just do it, will ya? Treat him like the king he is because at home, they simply don't treat him right. But no flattering him! He'll get irritated by your insincerity (and he'll probably call you a bootlicker lol 💀) if you do.

Don't allow him to tell you "never mind" or "it doesn't matter" when it comes to talking about his feelings or his opinions!

Even if he says "it's a pain" to try to explain it and will stubbornly attempt to keep his mouth shut, be persistent in wanting to hear what he has to say! If you're far more stubborn than he is, he'll eventually let up. Again, back home, he has often been treated with disregard for being the second son, so do the opposite and go all out with it! Make him feel heard and his appreciation for you will skyrocket. The foreign feeling of opening up to someone may be weird to him, but if that someone is you, then it's a feeling he'd be willing to get used to.

Be appreciative and acknowledge his efforts!

He’ll probably shrug you off, saying that he only did it for his own selfish reasons and whatnot, but stand your ground! Deep down, it warms his heart that you see him, and that his accomplishments and efforts aren't going unnoticed. He might say that he doesn’t need your thanks. Even so, a little appreciation can’t hurt from time to time, can it? And it'll go a long way too. You’ll notice that he’ll be doing those things you've thanked him for more frequently. (He'll act kind enough when he's around you that Ruggie would be like, "Hey, y/n...what the heck have you done to Leona?!" 😨 lol)

Simply play chess with him!

It doesn't matter if you're good or bad at it, play his favorite game with him and he'll enjoy it either way. If you're skillful, his competitive spirit will come out and he'll be having a fun time going against you! No worries if you're bad at it, he's willing to teach you even though he'd be like 🙄 for most of the time. But as you eagerly listen and try to grasp the tactics he teaches you, he'll subtly smile to himself. He's secretly happy you're trying to spend time with him doing what he enjoys.

Also, attempt to make it a routine with him. In his mundane life of attending classes, give him something to look forward to, (which would be getting to play chess with you)

For most of his life, Leona has been overshadowed by his brother and has lost much motivation because of it. So let him know that you see him, that you hear him, that you appreciate him, and maybe he'll come to find one of those rare motivations. That, being you 😘

a/n: now that my posts are finally showing up in the tags, I'll continue this series on this blog instead of @ne-nene-ne ! That'll include any of my other writing as well!

I realize that I might honestly be more biased towards Leona because this one was longer than Malleus' 💀 (I love both boys tho, I swear)

As for the next victim, I'm thinking of doing Azul next! then maybe Idia too 🤔

Werewolf Sniper SFW and NSFW Headcanons

SWF

-Good lord, where do I even begin? Let's just say that Soldier pissed Merasmus off so much that everyone got turned into some sort of mythological being. For Sniper, he beceame a werewolf

-His "normal" form is just him with wolf ears and a big fluffly tail, he also has slight more body hair as well, his form take a more wolfish appearance and behavior when there's a full moon out. He had to cut slits in his hat so he could still wear it

-He likes to think he's still relatively the same, but it's just him in denial. His sense of smell is heightened, he is able to see better at night, and, much to his dismay, he isn't able to hide behind his stoic facade anymore. Ears perking up at the mention of treats and tail wagging when happy. Yes, Scout makes fun of him for it

-He does use this new werewolf form to his advantage though. Finding himself out and about, hunting more. He starts noticing how foods taste different, eating and craving meat moreso than usual and forgoing sweets, mainly chocolates cause they make his poor tummy hurt now

-When it comes to Sniper in a relationship aspect, he becomes an even more protective lover. He finds himself following you around more, like a lost puppy. He's basically glued to your hip. He'll also expect more physical affection as well (in private, he's not good with PDA) He wants his ears scritched, god damn it >:( He will whine and give you sad puppy eyes until you give in. He's evil like that

-And due to his wolfness, he'll start trying to "groom" you, licking and slobbering all over you, trying to clean you up even though it can feel like the opposite. It's also his way of trying to mark his scent on you. He wants people to know you are his mate and ONLY his, even if it means covering you in slobber

-Now when it's a full moon out, you won't have to worry about your safety, but you'll have to worry about the saftey of other's when they are around your lap dog of a boyfriend

-When in his more wolf-esque form, he acts more wolf-like than human. He tends to be more mute in that form as well, resorting to growls, howls, barks, and other wolf noises

-He's feral, he's even more overprotective of you (if that's possible) in his wolf form. He likes to keep you safe in his camper, but you're usually having to keep him from mauling people like Scout cause he likes to push people's buttons

-So, in my very biased opinion, werewolf Sniper is a 12/10, would recommend

NSFW

-I'd like to think his sex drive was rather normal at first, but after becoming a werewolf, it skyrocketed. He's embarrassed and couldn't help it. He just can't help but notice how plush your thighs looked. Or how the shirt you were wearing was hugging your figure. And the way you bent down to pick something up? Don't even get him started. He was ready to POUNCE

-Now Sniper already had a scent and breeding kink, but now, as a werewolf, OH BOY. It's amplified by, like, 10 times

-Let's start with the scent kink. It's like his heightened sense of smell is a secret blessing to him. He loves to bury his face up against the crook of your neck and surrounding himself with you smell. It's what really gets him going

-Your perfume/cologne, your natural scent, everything you just smells so good to him. He has a bad habit of stealing your clothes when you're not around. Not only to comfort himself, but also to get off. Could be a shirt, bra, or underwear, he'll press the article of clothes up to his face, inhaling your scent while he strokes himself. Whimpering and panting like the good boy he is. Definitely would cum in your underwear, which would only fuel his drive

-Now for that breeding kink >:)

-Sniper always loved the idea of filling you to the brim with cum, breeding you and making you his officially (in his mind). He will have you in positions that will ensure his cum stays inside you. Even keeping your hips tilted up if he has to

-He'll whisper in your ear about how beautiful you look filled up to the brim with cum, and how beautiful you'd look pregnant. Stomach swollen and so round. Breasts filled with milk. Pregnant with his child. And since he's a werewolf, he'll has a knot so it helps with keeping all his cum in you

-He's also very bitey and will leave scratches on you. He doesn't mean to be so rough with you, he underestimates his new found strength. He just loves to mark you up. It's also another way claim you

-Loves praises. Call him a good boy. Hold him, kiss him, mark him up. Show him how much he means to you. Show him that, even as a werewolf, you still love him. He might just cry from the praises

That's all for now. I just really love wolf Sniper. Hims a baby boy who I just wanna love and protect.

His and Only His

~AGED UP Neteyam x Na’vi reader

~Explicit content, dom Neteyam, Sub reader, toy play

~Proofread?-no

~Summary- You were never one to let people walk all over you, but once you and Neteyam meet that changes.

***

You were a very opinionated person. If you wanted to say something, you were going to say it regardless if it hurt someone's feelings. Your mother said this was the best thing about you, that so many people are fake and it's refreshing to see someone so real.

So, you always did what you wanted, you weren't hurting anyone so why hold back what you wanted to say? You weren't mean, bitchy, some people would say, but you believed you were living your truth.

You had many friends, but none of them topped the friendship you had with Kiri. You two were connected by the hip, doing anything and everything together, but you never expected to fall for her older brother.

It started normal, you, of course, knew of him due to his title, and he was your best friend’s brother. A small hi or wave would happen and you two would be on with your day. Until one day it changed.

His body changed, and you had wondering eyes. He was taller, his voice was deeper, and he started hanging out a lot more. Neteyam noticed changes in you as well, your body started shaping, and you grew big boobs, bigger than anyone.

He wasn't the only one noticing the difference between you and other Na’vi girls. He couldn't explain why but it started to irk him how others spoke about you, but he knew his thoughts were worse. You were a loud opinionated girl but he knew he could break you.

He could make you shut up, no other man could do that to you. You needed to be dominated to have a man put you in your place but he knew you wouldn't voice this. So he’d have to break you, but he found this more fun.

He memorized your schedule, he appeared only for a short period but a long enough time to where he knew he’d have your attention.

“How come I always see you?” you questioned him, “oh i’m on your mind?” he smirked at you. You shook your head, “no! It's not like that Neteyam,” he noticed the small blush appear on your cheeks. Perfect.

You had a crush on Neteyam, I mean how could you not? He was the finest man and had the best manners, but what you didn't know was that he was feeling you just as much.

Friday, was your relaxing day. No stresses, no jobs, and no training, a whole day dedicated to you. You lay in the sun, not noticing Neteyam’s eyes lingering on you.

“Beautiful day hm?” you jumped up looking at the voice, “yeah,” you said carefully watching the boy as he came closer, “feels nice to just relax?” you nodded, not having any words to say.

“You know the best way to relax is?” you shook your head noticing how he held a hand behind his back, “one thing I’ve learned is that those sky people love pleasure.”

He pulled out a small thing, it fit in the palm of his hand it made your curiosity skyrocket, “what is that?” he smiled, “this my dear, is to help relax you in the best way possible, orgasm,” your eyes widened, “what?”

Neteyam laughed, “you out of all people should know,” you immediately stood up, “what do you mean by that?” Neteyam found it's comical that you thought you could intimate him. “You're always so tense,” he stood behind you, messaging your shoulders causing your breath to hitch.

“Don’t you want to feel good,” he couldn't think right, his voice, his touch, everything it was too much, “I guess,” he kissed your neck, “then you’d let me put this in you.” his words made sense you didn't know why.

You wanted to relax, “okay,” his hands traveled down taking your bottom off. His fingers found your entrance a moan coming out as a result, “already so wet for me,” your head flew back, “oh, yes please,” Neteyam smiled he had you just where he wanted you.

He stuck a finger in, stretching you, molding you to be ready for the toy. He found it after trying to get Lo’ak to come home after spending time with Spider. He knew it was wrong to steal, but the thought of you struggling to stand up because of something so small turned him on.

“Once this goes in you,” he said as he pushed it in, you threw your hand over your mouth which was quickly grabbed. His hand proceeded to play with your breast, “slow down Teyem,” his smile deepened, “i’m the only one who can take this out [Y/n].”

He became serious, grabbing your chin, “if I find out this is taken out, it won't be pretty for you.” the toy felt uncomfortable but fun. You squirmed as Neteyam finally let go of you, “say yes sir,” you tried catching your breath, “yes sir.”

You were so stupid. The only thought going through your mind was how could you let him put that thing in you. Every step you took was a reminder of what you let him do to you. Kiri would be so upset, your thoughts got the best of you.

You helped bandage up anyone hurt in the war party, hopefully, enough time to get your thoughts straight. This bit walked in, so insignificant you didn't even know his name. “Hey, [Y/n] help him!” you smiled as you told the boy to sit down.

Throughout the whole interaction, not many words were exchanged. You were so focused that you hadn't even noticed Neteyam lurking. You didn't know he was there till a vibration caused you to gasp, “are you alright,” you nodded, “yeah just got a body chill.”

You finished him off, holding back moans, “maybe you should lie down,” he said walking off, you just nodded as you made eye contact with Neteyam.

You walked over to the boy, “Neteyam stop,” he just smiled, “stop what? I’m not the one touching other boys,” your eyes widen, “that wasn't my choice I had to and why do you even care,” he grabbed your chin quickly, “everything having to do with you is my concern.”

The anger in your body dissolved as he spoke, “you always have something to say hm? I’m going to show you, your nothing but a cock sleeve.”

“That's not true,” you felt him intensify the vibrations, “look at you, fighting back moans, and you're not a cock sleeve,” your knees bucked, falling into Neteyam, “it's better if you admit it now.”

“Never,” you weren't going to betray your friend, your best friend. Neteyam forced you onto your knees, standing in front of you. “Suck,” he showed you his shaft, the head dripping with precum. “Don’t make me ask again.”

You wanted to push his buttons, see how far they’d go but at that moment you listened to him. Your mouth took him, bobbing on contact. Neteyam moaned watching you, “see I told you, nothing but a horny slut.”

You didn't hear his words, as you let your hand surround the rest of the part that didn't fit in your mouth. Vibrations roared inside you, causing you to moan on his dick. “Fuck just like that,” you were gone, like an addict you wanted more of him.

“I’m going to cum and when I do, pretty girl your all mine,” you went faster wanting him to cum, which you exceeded. He let out a loud moan, “fuck,” you wiped your mouth as you looked at yourself. Hair a mess, on the floor, you don't even know how you go to this point.

You shook your head, “why?” you sobbed, “why are you doing this to me?” he just smiled, “because you need me,” you looked at him confused, “you don't know it yet but you want to be dominated you love it.”

You moaned as you felt yourself coming near to orgasm, “you were made to be on your knees,” he watched you on the floor, “everything about you is submissive.”

You moaned louder as you were near, trying to cover your sound as the toy finally came to a stop.

“Your mine, [Y/n],” he got to your level making eye contact, “your body, your soul, everything you were made for me,” he kissed you as his hands slid up and down your arm.

“What about Kiri? Everyone else they’ll say-,” he cut you off, “do you think I care about what they have to say? I want you,” he grabbed your chin, “if I want you, i’ll have you.”

You stood up, wiping your tears, “how do I know you won't hurt me?” Neteyam smiled, “I want to fuck you, make you my horny slut, but I promise you this I’ll never mistreat you.”

He kissed your hand, “you are my most prized possession and you’ll be treated as such,” you smiled feeling giddy hearing him say that, “I’d like that.”

He smiled, “I know, you don't know what I have in store for you, little one,” his hands played with your nipples, “you have no idea.”

***

Hey guys! Sorry this was late I had last-minute plans but I got this done. The week is over so I’ll be going back to my old posting schedule :( but summer coming soon! Hope you all enjoyed it!

Fav artist for Garth?

I have been thinking about this ask for multiple hours, and I am unsure if I can pick a true favorite because there are so many wonderful artists who have drawn Garth over the years! However, I think I built a pretty solid list of my top 5 artists for Garth (oops!), so here goes:

#1: Phil Jimenez

I have so much love for the way he draws (and writes) Garth! Of every artist out there, I feel he has the most love for drawing Garth and I can feel that care and attention to detail in all his work. I am absolutely in love with the way he draws Garth's expressions too! He allows him to have exaggerated expressions and really allow us to feel the emotions of the story through the art. He's not afraid of showing him in painful and less than idealistic moments, and allows his face to reflect that. I think it's something that a lot of current comic book artists shy away from for fear of making characters look "ugly." But Jimenez goes all in on it and still makes Garth look stunning 24/7!

#2: Ramona Fradon

Ramona Fradon was one of the co-creators of Garth, and was, in my opinion, one of the most incredible people in the comic's art industry. She sadly passed away last month at age 97, and she only just announced her retirement from art a month prior to her passing. Her influence on the industry, especially for female artists, was monumental, and her art style stood out so uniquely amongst others. I've always loved how fantastical her art is. She creates fascinating underwater creatures and has an absolutely precious way of drawing Garth. I appreciate that she made the decision to draw him looking as young as he was at the time, especially since a lot of other teen sidekicks were drawn to look older. I feel very lucky that I was able to get a piece of art from her (the first pic in this section!) around the time of her passing. I will treasure it forever!

#3: Nick Cardy

There is something so charming about the way that Nick Cardy draws Garth! There's a simplicity and retro feeling to it that comes off as so fun! I don't know exactly what it is about his art, but it always makes me smile!

4: Mark Buckingham

Buckingham's style is like if "stretch and squash animation" was a static art style, and I LOVE it. It looks so funky and bouncy and expressive! It's one of those styles that I don't think everyone loves, but it really works for me and makes the comics extremely enjoyable to read for the art alone! It's not super polished and has some rough edge qualities, but that's precisely why I like it!

5: Lucas Meyer

Meyer is a newcomer in the scene of comics, but WOW! I am not immune to how gorgeous his art style is. I'm so happy that he's been named the ongoing artist for the current series! (Even if I can't get good writing, I'll at least take the nice art!) I think his style is so clean and pretty. I do wish that he went more "all-in" on expressions sometimes, as I do feel that his characters all look slightly generically pretty and don't emote particularly much. That said, the art is undeniably gorgeous, and he's already skyrocketed himself up onto my personal favorites list despite only starting with DC in 2022.

I do have a few honorable mentions as well, which include: Ivan Reis and George Perez.

There have been plenty of artists who did a great job, but these are my personal favorites! Thank you so much for the ask!

Kaigaku/Genya/ObaMitsu x Yui Komori! Reader

request:

hello! I saw that requests are open so I want to make one, mainly headcanons of kaigaku (probably from the aus reverse because the canon is a bastard), genya and mitsuri/obanai (as a poly relationship) with a couple that is like yui komori,! Take your time with this order and good luck in your studies!

Hello! I wouldn't say exactly Revérse AU. Kaigaku is (in my opinion) one of the most WASTED characters in the entire series, more than a son of a bitch, I feel like we don't get to see ANYTHING of him to understand his motives. I understand you sister.

This will be long😬 but I hope you enjoy it

Genre: Headcanons

Reader: Female

Warnings: Mentions of abuse/kidnapping, PTSD, kidnappers are mentioned in some cases, SPOILERS FOR THE MANGA AND ANIME, the reader has a personality like Yui Komori, Kaigaku can be somewhat OOCHurt/Comfort, Fluff.

Kaigaku Inadama

He probably knew you from 1-the Wisteria house (those that appear in chapter 9) or 2-you are related in some way to Jigoro (his and Zenitsu's sensei).

Let's go for the first, there is already a lot of the second.

Definitely at first he didn't understand why you were so friendly, and it even got on his nerves thinking that it was some kind of facade to attack at any moment.

But seeing that it wasn't like that, he really doesn't know how to deal with someone so gentle and kind. Or why he feels the need to get your attention.

He tries to be his normal arrogant self, tease you a little, but most of the time he can't bring himself to be like that with you. Not when you take care of him with such gentleness, which he's not used to.

A glutton for your food, he doesn't say much when you bring him his daily portions, but he doesn't leave a crumb behind. He's a glutton for your cooking.

Although it may not seem like it at first, he is a good listener, while he eats and you talk to him, try to remember the things that you seem to like, so he can be more prepared to try to like you.

A great show-off! But that was already seen coming. Especially if you ask him to see his techniques, his ego (already through the roof) is going to skyrocket.

He may even be more dramatic with his injuries just so that you care for him and look at him more than the other patients, he is somewhat capricious, but be patient with him, he will live.

If we talk about more advanced terms of relationship, Kaigaku is quite protective of you, but not in the traditional way so to speak, he is protective without you knowing it most of the time, like giving death glares to those who he feels are talking bad about you to your back, or always having the katana nearby when they go out at night, you never know...

Although he definitely won't think twice about fighting with someone to defend your honor. Especially after knowing about your past with abuse, he won't tolerate it.

Kaigaku is BAD with emotions, but he definitely won't leave you suffering, if the PTSD attacks are being especially bad he will try to be there for you, mainly with physical contact (not suffocating). He will get better the more time he spends with you.

Speaking of, if the people who hurt you somehow come back into your life...haha. They better run, Kaigaku is going to hunt them (although you don't have to know that part).

What else is he supposed to do!? Someone as good as you... just won't let little shits get away with it.

He is not religious at all, but he will let you do what you need to feel safe, even if it doesn't make sense to him, he knows that in a world with demons, one needs to hold on to something.

If we talk about the timeline where he becomes a Demon, you already know who his first meals would be ;)

Even if he becomes a demon, I see him watching over you from a distance. If you join him, even better! It can protect you much better that way.

ALTHOUGH- I don't think he'll let you turn into a demon, not because he doesn't want to, he's just scared of the possibility that you will 1- die or 2- forget about him completely.

But if we talk about a timeline where he does NOT become a demon, it is most likely that he will try to make amends for what he did in the past in some way (what with Gyomei and partly Zenitsu, although it would not be easy).

Fortunately he always seems to regain energy when he comes to visit you, seriously, his companions literally don't understand how you have him so tamed (especially Zenitsu).

In general it is like having your own Bulldog, aggressive but loyal.

Genya Shinazugawa

You're going to be the death of this man--in a good way!

When he met you at the Mariposa mansion, he already couldn't handle the other nurses, but you insisted on taking care of him, which made it much worse.

He's obviously not mad at you! He just doesn't know how to handle his nerves. Although with your perseverance and soft personality, he learns to AT LEAST not stutter SOOOOO much in front of you and have a decent conversation(Progress!).

Being so gentle and friendly, it's only natural that he gravitates towards you. His mother, you remind him a lot of his mother. It hurts but at the same time it feels great.

So he tries to help you from time to time with the tasks you do around the mansion, like carrying heavy things or reaching something from a high shelf (we all know it's not a problem for him).

Although at first you thought he just honestly didn't like you, because of how he sulks when he's nervous, if it weren't for the other butterfly girls, maybe you wouldn't have noticed his Crush for you.

You would have to take several first steps, Genya simply wouldn't dare to do it without a CLEAR clue that he has a chance with you (my poor boy has self-esteem problems).

If we talk about more advanced terms of the relationship, Genya is still the shyer of the two, but he is more likely to initiate physical contact than when they were not a couple. Dude, holding hands, hugs from behind, stuff like that.

Genya is quite careful with you, mostly because he is somewhat afraid of scaring you with his appearance and height, especially when you tell him what you went through in the past.

He's obviously angry, and of course! Who would hurt someone as good as you!? They don't deserve to breathe. But it focuses more on comforting you about the situation.

He has his fair share of nightmares related to what happened that night, and while he's not very good at consoling, he does his best (and honestly he's better than Kaigaku in that department, he's like a teddy bear).

Thanks to Gyomei, he has some understanding of religion, so he sees your prayers as something .

Be grateful that you have something to draw comfort from.

LIVE-FOR-YOUR-FOOD-Did you see that drawing of him blushing while Aoi tries to get him to eat? That's you two at the beginning.

Although of course, now that they are in trust, he really appreciates when you bring him some bento after a mission (demons don't know well people). Take advantage of these moments to let him talk about your day and how it went while he was away.

I once tried to help you cook something, but I failed miserably and almost set the kitchen on fire.

If the people who hurt you in some way come back into your life, don't worry! The shotgun is loaded and Genya is already deadly enough to go against high-ranking Demons, heartless morons are nothing to him.

Even if they don't die, it will ensure that they are away from your life.

In general, he can't stand seeing you afraid, he will do whatever it takes to see you happy, safe and healthy.

Iguro Obanai + Mitsuri Kanroji

(these two are my Comfort Ship)

(anyways)

Mitsuri would try to keep in touch with you to make sure you were doing well, so to speak.

Obanai was the one who had the hardest time opening up to you, obviously, but with the help of Mitsuri and your attitude, I can start to be tolerant and little by little start to like you.

Obanai could empathize with you over the topic of the turbulent past, so he was able to overcome his "rejection" towards you much faster than one would expect thanks to this.

Mitsuri is ridiculously more obvious with her Crush on you, Obanai is more discreet, but in itself the fact that you are a woman, you are not Mitsuri and HE TOLERATES YOU is already enough of a clue for those who know him.

It's say that after your rescue you ended up at the Butterfly State. Obanai and Mitsuri will take advantage of any opportunity to check on you, have a chat with you, etc.

Mitsuri helps you with her enormous strength with heavy tasks, she can even carry you if you are very tired, don't worry, for her you don't even weigh like a bunch of grapes.

Obanai is quieter, but he accompanies you in day-to-day tasks, apart from the fact that he seems to be ruder to staff who are not especially YOU. Shinobu ends up serving as Cupid here and assigns you to him constantly.

If we talk about more advanced relationship terms, They are both a love and balance each other perfectly.

Mitsuri is much more chatty and cuddly, Obanai is more serious but gives meaningful gestures without the need for words.

Mitsuri is a great inspiration in general, Obanai is someone you can empathize with much more due to past experiences and certain shared feelings they come to have. Mitsuri does everything she can to stop them from thinking those things.

As I said at the beginning, it is most likely THEY who saved you, so they are more aware of your past related to abuse. They are very careful about it, especially Mitsuri because he doesn't want to go into unknown territory and make you feel bad, but he tries his best to make you feel better.

Obanai is better at dealing with crises, having gone through years of his own traumatic experience, he is better informed on the subject and will share everything about it with Mitsuri.

In general, both of them open up to you so that you feel more comfortable with them to tell them things and everything is as balanced as possible.

Pile of hugs pile of hugs pile of hugs--

Obanai doesn't eat much, but he definitely tries to leave his plate empty to make you and Mitsuri happy.

Mitsuri LOVES your food, everyone does, but with Mitsuri's appetite, it's understandable that she'll be the one who eats the most of your desserts.

If those who hurt you return...it won't be for long, they will have a wild Obanai behind them while Mitsuri distracts you with some sword tricks along with Kaburamaru around your neck preventing you from turning your head to where Obanai is.

Even MITSURI would be eager for revenge, even if they don't want them dead, they want them to pay for harming someone as good and innocent as you.

They bring out the worst in her, so to speak.

Overall, they are a very balanced and loving trio. They make sure you NEVER feel vulnerable and unprotected again. Not their your guard.

Not really a request but I always wanted to ask, what do you think the characters full adult height is?

Oh interesting question 🤔

I tried my best, but these are just my first thoughts, so take it with a pinch of salt. I also went based off of Google searches of the actors' heights 😅 so yeah. This is... something lol.

○●○

My immediate thought is Sam doesn't grow much taller. Maybe an inch, but for the most part she is done growing.

On the other hand, Anthony already skyrocketed. His growth spurt made Sam the shortest in their family and he likes to tease her for it. By adulthood, he gets to be 5'9.

Miguel is 5'11 in adulthood.

Hawk is a solid 5'10, but if he keeps his tall mohawk, it adds a good 5 or 6 inches.

Tory gets another two inches, so like 5'8 or 5'9. Sometikes she likes to wear heeled boots just for the hell of it, so additionally another two or three inches with those.

Robby is like 5'9. Not much more growth from him either.

Demetri tops off at 6'1. Tall boy but sometimes he hates it (just my opinion).

Yasmine stays the same, so about 5'9-ish. She also wears heels and gains a few inches like that.

Moon get to 5'5 and stops there. Sometimes she wears heels, but not as often as Yasmine.

Congrats on 300 followers, Ray!!! For a request, how about something extra fluffy…

Callum meeting Rayla’s parents (and Runaan, of course) and accidentally lets slip that he wants to marry her

Mando this is perfect thank you so much, I've been itching to write some rayllum since season 5 dropped but haven't had any idea which direction to take. I hope you like it!!

When Rayla poked her head out of the makeshift tent, she looked almost as terrified as Callum was. Maybe it should have made him feel better to know that he wasn’t alone, but instead, his nerves skyrocketed, his heart doubling its already-too-fast pace in his chest.

He should have gone somewhere else, anywhere else in the makeshift camp they’d set up after the battle at the Starscraper. But he hadn’t been able to shake the idea that Rayla might need him. The last time she’d seen Runaan, after all, he’d threatened to kill her. But this was pointless, wasn’t it? None of the people in Rayla’s tent had so much as raised their voices, and Callum’s pacing had probably interrupted their reunion, and he’d made a bad impression without them even needing to see him—

“Do you want to meet them?” Rayla asked.

Callum blinked. It took a second for the words to sink in through his panic, and even then, he opened his mouth and closed it several times before he could find his voice. “Sure?”

Rayla gave him a small, nervous smile and extended her hand. Callum reached out to take it, then hesitated.

“Are you… are you sure?”

Rayla smacked his arm. “They know everything already, dummy.”

“Oh!” Just when he thought he couldn’t get any more terrified. “Okay.”

He slipped his hand into Rayla’s, gripping it tightly, and she pulled him through the opening.

All three of her parents were armed. That did not seem like a good sign.

Runaan’s arms were folded, a steely glare on his face. Lain and Tiadrin were a little more relaxed, standing with their arms around each other’s waists, but their faces were devoid of any discernible emotion. Callum swallowed hard.

To his shock, it was Runaan who broke the silence. The older man’s glare deepened into something sadder, and he bowed his head.

“I know you must have mixed feelings about seeing me again, after… what transpired since we last met. I thought I knew the weight of your stepfather’s life, that I had factored the place he held in the hearts of those who loved him against the harm he dealt my people and found the scales tipped against him. But I have committed actions just as cruel against you, and you still chose to spare me. I’m grateful for that— and more importantly, I’m grateful that you kept Rayla safe when I could— when I would not.”

Callum swallowed again, this time holding back grief instead of fear. He had made his peace with Rayla loving Runaan— but peace with what happened to his dad was a long way off.

More than anything, he wished it didn’t have to be this way. That meeting the three people who meant so much to the girl he loved wouldn’t have to be tainted by so much loss.

“We’re all grateful,” Tiadrin said, her cool expression breaking into an understanding smile. Lain gave him a similar look.

Their warmth thawed Callum enough to find the right words. “You raised an incredible daughter. Being with her has been the most incredible privilege of my life.”

“A mage and a poet. You picked a good one, moonberry,” Lain said, winking at Rayla. She ducked her head, but not enough to hide her smile.

“You’re under no obligation, of course, but I can assure you you’ll always be welcome in the Silvergrove,” Tiadrin added to Callum.

A grimace chased Rayla’s grin away. “Actually… he won’t. Neither of us will. I’m a ghost.” She turned to Runaan. “They banished me for botching our mission.”

“But you saved the dragon prince!” Runaan bellowed, outrage pouring from every word. It raised Callum’s opinion of him, just slightly.

“And that won’t bring Ram, Skor, Callisto, and Andromeda back to life,” Rayla replied quietly.

The names cast a silence over the tent. Callum looked down, giving the others a moment to mourn, letting them break it on their own terms.

“But where will you go?” Tiadrin asked.

Callum raised his head. “She can come back to Katolis with me.”

Lain raised an eyebrow. “A lone elf in a human castle?”

“She won’t be alone. I would stay with her for the rest of my life— and so she’ll have a home there for the rest of her life, too.”

A split second later, he realized what he said, and fought the urge to clamp his hands over his mouth.

He meant it. Of course he did. He’d faced enough with Rayla to understand how deeply he loved her— and he’d faced enough without her to understand how much it ached to be away from her. But there was a difference between knowing she was the only person he wanted to spend his life with and admitting that to her parents within five minutes of introducing himself.

He risked a glance at them to find that Tiadrin’s smile had only widened, and he allowed himself a single, relieved exhale.

“Then let’s talk about that,” she said, waving him over to her corner of the tent. Taking her hint, Lain and Runaan motioned Rayla over to the other end.

Callum glanced at Rayla, tense, only to find her beaming, her eyes shining with tears. She raised their entwined hands and kissed the back of his before letting him go, lightly pushing him over to where her mother stood waiting.

“I’m sorry,” Callum blurted, before she could even get a word out, directing the words more to the wall of the tent than to her. “I never meant to imply that I wanted to— to take Rayla away from you, or make any decisions for her. I know I shouldn’t have said that, but—"

“I’m glad you did.”

Callum finally met her eyes.

“A prince who ran away with an assassin. A human who can do primal magic. A dragonguard who never once abandoned his post.”

Tiadrin’s beaming face blurred as Callum found his own eyes brimming with tears. He blinked rapidly, trying to dispel them, and only succeeded in pushing them onto his cheeks. Tiadrin gently reached out, wiping them away, and placed her hands on his shoulders.

“I can think of no one better to entrust with my daughter’s future than you.”

She let go of his shoulders and reached up, removing one of the silver bands that encircled her horns. “Ethari made this for Lain when he told him he wanted to ask me to marry him. I got this—" she tapped the matching silver band on her other horn— “on my wedding day. I suppose I could have taken the old one off then, but I’ve been too attached to it. But I’m ready to let it go.” Carefully, she placed the band in Callum’s hands.

“You’re so young, Callum. Take some time to be with Rayla now, to understand who you are in peace. If you decide, at the end of that, to give this back to me, I won’t judge you.”

She stepped back and gave him a wink. “But if you decide you want to pass it on to a new owner… well, I have a hunch that she’ll be ready.”

Admin, may we know if there is something that bothers you about Ayato?

// Although Ayato is my best boy, there are some aspects that bother me, but not necessarily about him but about the way he was written throughout the games. It’s alright if you disagree with me, this is simply my opinion!

To begin with, Ayato is described as an awful narcissist in the first character sheet. Because they're vampires, DL characters must be sadistic, and I loved that they made them cruel, because humans are just prey in their eyes, and they're basically monsters. Returning to Ayato, he fit the DO-S criteria until they decided to make him the most heroic and selfless Diaboy of them all out of the blue. True, these aren't bad traits at all, and I believe in character development, but in Ayato's case, it was already far too much to the point where he almost lost his initial personality.

I talked with some of my friends about it and it feels as if Rejet victimizes Ayato. You may be wondering how they do that, but bear with me as I explain. In LE, Ayato is the only character who has no allies (except for Yui), he receives no apology, and everyone begins to hate him in such an OOC manner. I described it better in this post and honestly, Rejet made everyone way too mean towards him. I’m sure at least Laito or Subaru would have felt bad for Ayato in such a situation but they actually didn’t and that was way too uncharacteristic. I have the impression that they wanted to villainize other characters in order to make the audience pity Ayato and be like “No, my poor baby! You’re too good for this game!” or stuff like that.

They also gave him two other major roles in LE to demonstrate what a good person/brother he is. In Laito's route, he helps his brother by filling up the place, checking on the Demon World for him, and occasionally looking after Yui. Then, in Kino's route, he sort of becomes Yui's lover and sacrifices himself for her, being burned alive by Kino. After Yui is finally brainwashed, Ayato notices that she has begun to like Kino and allows her to be with him. Excuse me, what—? That doesn't seem like something Ayato would do, especially since he becomes Yui's best friend and is the first to acknowledge Kino as his brother, despite the fact that he stole his woman, burned him alive, tortured him and planned to sell him to the church.

And guess what? After Lost Eden, Ayato's popularity skyrocketed in Japan, where he literally won first place in a contest held in the Rejet store and second place in the Chaos Lineage poll. Rejet's strategy appears to have been successful.

Rejet tones down other characters in order to make Ayato shine. We all know Rejet enjoys making Ayato act like a hero, which is fine until they start making other characters look bad, as I previously stated. There's a scene in Young Blood where Shu and Subaru openly admit that they only used Ayato as bait and had no plans to rescue him afterwards. So... are you going to tell me that little Shu and Subaru would actually do something like that? Because I have my doubts. As evidenced by the flashbacks, they were kind children. Once again, it seems that Rejet is forcing the Diaboys to mistreat him in order to make Ayato likeable. He mentions being an outcast at one point, which is clearly not true.

I respect Rejet's work and am grateful that they created DL, but I’m not okay with their obvious bias toward Ayato. They try everything to make him likeable, as if he's the most underrated character. He is literally the most popular Diaboy worldwide; there are people who recognize his face but have no clue about the games or anime. Ayato is already favored; he's on buildings and took part in Anime conventions alongside many well-known characters; there's no need to make him even more popular by giving him more positive traits. People used to like him a lot even in HDB and MB ://

@theoraekenapperciation 's theo week 2023: day 4: part of the pack

Of all the people in the McCall Pack, Theo hadn't expected Corey to be among the first people to have his back.

But here Corey was, sitting on the edge of Liam's bed, only five feet away from Theo, sprawled in its center. Liam and Mason were downstairs getting snacks. They had to get to a pack meeting in an hour.

"What's this?" Corey asked him, handing Theo his textbook. "3a."

Theo looked over the question, although it acted as more of a backdrop to his train of thought.

What remained of the once-feared chimera pack could fit on a double bed. A year ago, Theo would've rolled in his grave knowing that.

"It's c." Theo answered, handing the biology textbook back. "A and b refer to animals. D is close, but no cigar."

Corey stayed silent as he took notes. Theo took the opportunity to listen to his heartbeat.

Curious thing about Corey Bryant; his heart never seemed to stick to a consistent rhythm.

Since it never seemed to bring up any major issues, Theo never mentioned it. (He guessed it was part of his genetic chimera-isms. Probably a heart condition?)

Theo and Corey didn't talk to each other much after Theo was freed from the Skinwalker prison. Everytime he and Corey were in the same room, Corey's heartrate would skyrocket, his scent would spike, and he'd find some way to excuse himself. (But really, could anyone blame him?)

So what changed that made Corey so convinced tbat he could be good for the McCall Pack?

Theo asked himself this again when they arrived at the McCall household, when Liam and Corey started defending him in from of Scott, Stiles, Lydia, and Malia.

"Are you really letting his happen, Corey?" Stiles asked, exasperated.

"Would you believe me if I said this was my idea?" Corey told him.

The conversation turned into an argument turned into a shouting match. Mason was standing off to the side. (Theo couldn't blame him.)

"He saved my life!" Liam yelled, halting the debate and silencing the room. Numerous hearts beated in Theo's ears, blood pumping with adrenaline and anger. "At least like, four times already! That's gotta be worth something."

Stiles bit his lip. Malia glared at Liam. Lydia pulled her lips into a thin line. Scott had that pained expression on his face when he wanted to say something someone else won't want to hear.

"You called him to help." Liam said, facing Scott. He pointed at Scott, then at Theo. "You. Called him. No one forced you to. No one asked you to. You made that choice. That means something, and I think you know what."

Scott stood silently in thought.

The rest of the room stayed that way, too, because they all knew that it was his opinion that mattered the most.

Scott looked up at Theo, who had been quiet the whole time. He didn't know how to defend himself like Liam did. "Theo?"

Theo pushed off the wall, meeting his gaze.

"What do you think?" Scott asked.

Theo looked at Liam and Corey before he answered. They gave him reassuring nods. "I think you already know what I want. Ghost Riders, remember?"

Scott nodded, approaching him with an outstretched hand.

Stiles threw his hands up in defeat behind him, Malia groaning and Lydia sighing in tandem. (Theo thought he heard Mason let out a relieved breath.)

"It's going to be a long, rocky ride." Scott said, placing his other hand on Theo's shoulder. "But I think you've proved yourself."

Theo nodded, copying his motion.

"There's gonna be more like this," Scott said lightly, nodding to a disgruntled Stiles, Lydia and Malia, who had all taken up space on the couch. "But trust me, they'll come around eventually."

Theo eyed his arm for a second before taking it and shaking.

"Welcome to the Pack, Theo." Scott said with a smile.

Liam cheered and high-fived Corey. Stiles and Malia let out matching swears. Lydia looked away.

Theo allowed himself a small smile. "Thanks for having me."

(p.s.: all days will be uploaded to ao3! days 1-3 (minus the artwork) are already up :))

I feel like from that anons "Take on the Hedgehog Trio" analysis, Sonic would be completely laid back & normal til u "give him a reason not to be". Like he gets more worked up after u show him ur wanting to leave or something. I kinda think hes relaxed at first cuz u two are already dating & hes still an arrogant hero. I think hes also the only one who manages not to hurt u 😂 Silvers insecure & smothering. He is the type where u can take advantage of him easily but his temper & like u said, powers are still there. Hes also constantly stressed about his time & shows his frustrations more openly so I can imagine his paranoia & jealousy being pretty freaking high. Hed probably hurt u on complete accident by being an emotional mess with strong ass powers. I also feel like his intelligence should be higher. Ppl tend to think hes completely dumb cuz hes naive.. theres a difference. Shadow... just has no chill. His "stats" (as u call it) indicate hes the strictest & deadliest & I unfortunately agree with this one. This dude went thru a lot & made too many enemies tho he still works for GUN. U know how he was willing to kill (put down Mr. Tinker in the comics to protect Earth) a few times to accomplish his goals? I feel like hed get so stressed & angry on ur escape attempts hed hurt u. I dont think hed kill u cuz hed already make sure theres no one u can come to. The most aloof & distanced hedgehog is the most overbearing & overprotective of u. U unlucky asf lmao

Sonic is the most laid back of three, as the hero of Earth/Mobius not only does he have a sense of duty to ensure the safety of others but he also believes that at the end of the day, he's the only true victor in his battles.

In my opinion, none of them would hurt you intentionally, Silver would have the worst reaction when hurting you as he wears his heart on his sleeve. He'd be apologizing constantly & doing anything you ask of him even if you've long forgiven him & I agree with what you said of his intelligence & how others tend to think naive is similar or is a synonym to dumb. Like Knuckles, Silver is a lot smarter than what others give him credit for, is he naive? Yes. But that doesn't mean that he's dumb. First, remember that he comes form a dystopian apocalyptic future where he had little to no interaction with others beside Blaze & secondly, naive is the lack of (worldly) experience while dumb can mean either refraining/unable to speak or not having the ability to absorb ideas readily.

Shadow would be the deadliest yandere, not to y/n but towards others. This man has so much trauma which leads to him gaining enemies & this leads to his protectiveness to skyrocket. If he were to hurt you he'd apologize while tending the wound(s), he'd say that this wouldn't have happened if you'd just listen & not run off on your own. He's at a constant war with himself where, in one hand, he wants to keep a distance in fear of an enemy seeing you two & them using you against him while on the other hand, he's beyond touch-starved & wants nothing more than to lay on the couch/bed & snuggle into you feeling all his doubts & stress wash away in your presence. No matter who you get, with pros there is always cons with them.

But can you imagine the three being yanderes for you & teaming up, you'd never know peace again.

상자 (1)

Box (1)

“Section Chief Song, you’re working hard today again.”

Raising a hand, Moon Hyuna sent a greeting. Song Taewon’s demeanor as he received the greeting didn’t seem much different than usual. Rather, he seemed calmer than he was when dealing with other S-rank Hunters.

‘Since Hyuna-ssi seems to cause less problems, at least.’

I didn’t know how it might’ve been in the past, but nothing much had happened in the present. Even if she could be forceful, it felt like she knew where the line should be drawn. Possibly, she might’ve been someone Song Taewon felt more comfortable interacting with, because of that. They didn’t seem to be extremely close, but they seemed to suit each other quite well.

Didn’t they really seem to go well with each other. When considering Moon Hyuna as a Guild Leader, it seemed like they would be unexpectedly compatible.

“There’s quite a lot of people. Looks like they’re all MKC guys, so they’re probably here over the contract issue.”

Moon Hyuna said. Is that why Song Taewon was standing guard like that. He’d have to diffuse the situation, if some wronged high-ranking Hunters went and lost their cool over the contract termination issue.

“I’ll go collect a ticket.”

“No need.”

Moon Hyuna looked back at me, having already placed a call.

“Someone’ll arrive soon.”

“Isn’t this an abuse of power?”

“We’re seeing a different department. It’s an international case, right. That side should be pretty free, so we can head up straight away without taking a number.”

Huh. The Overseas Department, maybe I should save the phone number too, just in case.

While we were waiting, Song Taewon didn’t look again in my direction even once. I wanted to ask him why he hadn’t been returning my messages, but I restrained myself. It was because I was bothered by what Sung Hyunjae had said.

‘Since this place is staffed by regular people, it might be okay because of that, too.’

Sung Hyunjae, that person, was uselessly perceptive, so it would probably be better to be cautious.

“Please come this way.”

Soon after, an Association staff member approached us and showed us where to go. As soon as the mention of Japan came up, the manager expressed displeasure.

“We did hear about the matter from Seseung Guild, but please note that public opinion will plummet greatly if a domestic slime Dungeon happens to be seized.”

“There is no way it’ll be taken away, so please do not worry.”

Rather, we would be the ones seizing the goods. It might be good to drum up a lot of interest in advance. Both Yerimie and Haeyeon’s public image had the potential to skyrocket.

Just then, a knock sounded, and the door opened. The man I’d dealt with for a while over the ranking competition setup came inside, and greeted me with a bright expression.

“Hello, Director Han-nim, Breaker’s Guild Leader-nim. I’m the department head of the Hunter Association’s advertisement department, Choi Youngjoon.”

I heard you’ve brought some good news again, he said, all smiles.

“So you can try to surreptitiously hitch a ride on our coattails again?”

“An offer of our cooperation. Director Han isn’t opposed to it either, surely.”

How astute. At any rate, he was someone who did good work. Even before, during the ranking competition preparations, he’d taken care of this and that quickly and efficiently. We’d talked shit about the National Assembly together, too.

“First, I will have to ask if you are assured of Hunter Bak Yerim’s victory. The repercussions will have to be prepared for in advance, in the case of a loss. You should only raise the heat to a level that can be handled.”

“If Japan proceeds as stipulated in the contract, then it’s certain. Enough that, even if there are some minor changes, it should still be manageable.”

Even if Ama’s Guild Leader were to lend them SS-rank equipment, our chances of winning wouldn’t falter. It’s not like we didn’t have SS-rank equipment either, and now that Seseung was in the same boat, we could ask them to lend us some as well.

Could we make it so that the rental period lasted about fifty years.

Because the basic template was similar to the one used during the ranking competition, with only the location being set in a different country, our discussion on the matter advanced quickly. It was decided that the finer details would be settled after we received contact from Japan.

“Let us slowly begin spreading the word, in that case. Including mention of the opposing Hunter’s name, as well as the location being set to the seaside.”

“And when will it become possible to exchange the rearing facility’s portal key.”

“As it does not fall under my purview, I’m afraid I’m not certain.”

Choi Youngjoon answered, seeming apologetic. Whether it was sincere or not. Before getting up, I let it slip that I was considering whether or not we should be moving to Yeouido.

“I presumed you wouldn’t hold an interest, so this is unexpected.”

“You’re probably already aware, but the rearing facility is working towards independent operation as of late. The MKC building is in good condition, and it seemed like it’d be a decent move, leaving the house and facility as-is and only moving the building and peripherals.”

It was all fabricated, but it sounded plausible. Though I wasn’t actually thinking of moving. Why would I, when there was a Guild with three S-rank Hunters right next door.

“Finally done, huh. I need to swing by the restroom.”

Moon Hyuna said as she stood up, having emptied two glasses of iced tea. Since I’d also had two iced coffees, I followed her outside. Of course, the restrooms we went into were different.

Maybe because it was located right outside the department office, it was small and clean. Though the edges of the sink were a bit dirty. The way bathrooms clearly showcased whether it had been cleaned properly, made you feel like it was worth it. And nowadays, there were a variety of effective cleaning products. I washed my hands under the automatic spray of water. And as the sound of the water stopped.

Creak.

I heard the sound of the door opening. This restroom was one that had a separate door at the entrance. It soon closed again. Then, the low clack of dress shoes moving over tile. Since it was a restroom, it might’ve been anyone that came in. But even as I considered that, I couldn’t shake the feeling of foreboding.

To dry my hands, I calmly turned my body. At the same time, the man who was standing near the entrance of the restroom came into my field of vision. It was Song Taewon.

‘Refrain from meeting with Song Taewon one-on-one for the time being.’

Sung Hyunjae’s words passed through my mind. I’d only extended a greeting before passing by, but it had still turned out like this.

“It seems you’ve some business with me.”

I offered mildly, for now. If he’d actually needed to use the restroom, he wouldn’t have been just standing like that.

“You should have waited outside. I was just about to go out.”

The dampness of my hands bothered me. It’d just happened to be a dryer, and not a hand towel. On top of the sound being loud, it felt somewhat embarrassing to just stand with your hands held out.

“Mm, I suppose it’s no longer necessary for you to watch the reception area, then.”

“There was a small commotion, but it has since been resolved.”

“You’ve had your work cut out for you, having to deal with MKC Guild’s matters. Everyone probably has their hackles raised.”

So far, the atmosphere still seemed to be alright. I did my best to pretend like nothing was wrong as I smiled.

“Let’s go outside to finish talking, then.”

“I came in purposefully because I heard you’d gone to the restroom.”

Is that so. How should I react in this situation. To be honest, I didn’t feel a pressing sense of danger yet. Was it because of the fear nullification, or was it because Song Taewon still seemed to be maintaining a blasé attitude.

‘...I really can’t tell.’

The fear nullification Skill was useful—but as it meant that I lacked a precautionary layer of awareness, it made things more difficult in situations like this. Maybe it’d be better if I kept it off, while no one who could protect me was around.

“Then, what business do you need to discuss.”

After ignoring my attempt to reach out. But right now probably wasn’t the time to nitpick.

Clack.

The heels of his shoes sounded against the tile again. Song Taewon came closer to me, one step, and then two. As the restroom itself wasn’t large to begin with, it brought us significantly closer together.

He towered over me, and his physique was way better as well. And his actual strength level far exceeded that difference. He should have felt threatening, but I only understood this intellectually.

Fleeing was obviously out of the question, so maybe I should at least shout. But that might just serve to aggravate the situation. I met the eyes that were looking down at me. I couldn’t read his expression. Difficult, as always. I took a shallow breath.

‘Since it’s not like the situation with the poison or curse resistance settings, where it might put my life at risk.’

Even if the fear resistance level went down, things were manageable. And I could turn it right back on.

While still locked onto dark eyes, I turned off the fear resistance Skill.

A chill gripped my entire body.

My heart rate shot up while the inside of my mouth dried. At the same time, a feeling of foreboding bled my mind red, like a flashing warning.

The man before me wanted to kill me.

The sudden rush of fear that flooded into me, as if a dam had broken, may have affected my ability to accurately judge the situation. But the tremendous pressure pressing down on me wasn’t a hoax.

Song Taewon’s shape distorted hazily. I caught myself before I almost fell over from being overcome. I reflexively extended a hand to push Song Taewon away, but he didn’t even budge.

“Have you intentionally weakened your Skill.”

He asked quietly. Song Taewon didn’t know that I was able to turn off the resistance-type Skills, but it was fairly common to be able to control the level. I tried to answer, but only short, ragged breaths came out.

Did I have to turn it on again. But, up against Song Taewon, this current state might still be preferable. As befitting of someone with F-rank stats.

“Han Yoojin-ssi.”

I needed to check his expression. Whether I needed to call for help from outside, or place more emphasis on my F-rank status to get him to back off. Even as I thought about how I needed to face him to inform my decision, my head remained bowed. A fine tremor continued to run through my entire body.

A wet patch appeared over Song Taewon’s clothes, where my hand rested. The inside of my head was still clear, I could still breathe, and my heart was still beating. As soon as I managed to recover the presence of mind to do so, I used Eunhae. Though it’d be over, as soon as it was taken from me.

‘...with only this much distance, I shouldn’t attempt anything rash for now.’

Moon Hyuna was close by. From this distance, she’d be able to hear me if I shouted. But Song Taewon’s movements would be even faster. No, he might even block my mouth the moment I tried to call out. Since he wasn’t someone who wouldn’t catch onto my intentions.

“Han Yoojin-ssi.”

I heard a voice calling me again. As far as the intonation went, it was calm, and even seemed to be gentle. Or perhaps my ears were just malfunctioning, affected by my desire to live.

My body was lifted up. I was placed in a sitting position on top of the counter. Probably because there weren’t any reason for kids to be around, and because the usual clientele were predominantly Hunters who were taller on average, the counter was much higher than in any other public restroom.

“...not, supposed to sit on the counter.”

“It has been constructed sturdily.”

It probably was, but.

“It is still preferable to collapsing on the floor, is it not.”

“It’s very gracious of you to care.”

I slowly lifted my head. A face that displayed slight uncertainty came into view. He was hesitating. As I’d thought, turning off the fear resistance had been the correct choice.

“If Song Taewon-ssi were to raise your hand, I wouldn’t be able to fight back. It would be over in an instant, overwhelmingly easily.”

“I am aware of that.”

“So why am I.”

Rephrase it, so it's not aggravating.

“You……(1)”

Want to kill me. But why. I was weak. Song Taewon wasn’t someone who would try to harm the weak without reason. Rather, he sought to protect them. Even while dealing with high-ranking Hunters he felt repulsed by, he never operated with the intent to take their lives.

Then.

“Is it that you feel afraid of me.”

I’d asked something like this before, too. But this time, it was for a different reason than the time I’d used the attack skill doubling Skill.

This time was different. So, what reason was it, this time.

“So you surmise that I feel afraid.”

“If that’s not the case, and there’s a different reason. I’d like to hear it.”

“I do think that you pose a danger.”

Song Taewon admitted calmly.

“S-rank Awakened individuals are solitary and egocentric. To date, there has been nothing that resembled a unifying force among them. If it was indeed possible, I presumed it would be owing to the Seseung Guild Leader.”

Sung Hyunjae certainly had a lot of connections with other S-rank Hunters. He’d even brought both Noah and Evelyn right over to Korea, too.

“Are you concerned that I might possibly unite the S-rank Hunters? But that in itself shouldn’t be a problem. Most of all, there haven’t been any cases of any of them banding together to cause harm to others.”

Though there had been separate instances. And I’d… ordered some of it to happen. I did think destroying the newly-built Hunter Association building and Awakening Center had been a bit too heavy handed, so I was reflecting on that. Hong Kong, well, had been pretty deserving of its fate, I thought.

“Even when it concerns my dongsaeng—”

Song Taewon’s expression flickered. Unmistakably. Why, with Yoohyunie?

“He lent Section Chief Song his assistance not long ago. At my request.”

I said, keeping my eyes fixed on Song Taewon’s face. Yoohyunie. My dongsaeng. What’d happened. …that time with Choi Seokwon, that goddamn son of a bitch.

“He’s a dongsaeng who still treats his helpless F-rank stat hyung as a hyung and listens immensely well. Though Section Chief Song is probably already aware.”

Was it because of back then. Back then. My heartrate had been accelerated all this time due to the feeling of fear I hadn’t been able to escape, and now a chill washed over my heart. A suppressed cry of pain. The voice that called out to me.

“Were you both very shaken, then. My dongsaeng, and Section Chief Song Taewon.”

I hadn’t really tried to imagine how he would’ve looked. I hadn’t asked anyone else about it, either.

“How did he seem. My dongsaeng.”

“......”

And one more person.

“Sung Hyunjae’s.”

“He remains unchanged.”

He answered, uncharacteristically fast. Because he wasn’t telling the truth, the sound only amounted to a whisper in the wind. As if yearning for it to be true.

The moment I heard that voice, I suddenly remembered.

By Song Taewon’s reckoning, Sung Hyunjae was the pinnacle of monsters. And, somehow, he may have become the unshakable baseline in the new world Song Taewon had been forcibly dragged into.

The grounding point that provided secure footing for the tenuous position he held between wolves and sheep, unable to assimilate to either side. As long as that perfect monster existed, Song Taewon could go on being the monster that reluctantly took up the same mantle to block him.

The reason he could continue to stay inside the box that didn’t fit him, which should’ve been thrown away.

If there was a change in the monster that needed to remain the perfect antipode.

“Sung Hyunjae-ssi is my partner.”

His deep eyes darkened further. More than just a chill, it felt like electricity was running down my spine. My throat prickled and my tongue felt stiff, but I opened my mouth.

“But I, don’t want to let Song Taewon-ssi slip by, either.”

As Sung Hyunjae had said, he was necessary. So.

Crash!

Just then, a raucous noise rang out. And a boisterous shout followed.

“Are you setting up a home in the restroom!”

Moon Hyuna, who had barged inside with enough force to break down the door, rushed at Song Taewon without any hesitation.

I have a small fear that if Jaune saves Cinder the hate he gets will skyrocket to new heights. I can already see people calling him a pathetic loser, a simp, and a weak doormat. Knightfall is a ship that combines the two most hated characters in the fandm so I'm slightly worried about it's reception. How do yo think Knightfall will be received by the fandm if it happened? Do you think the reaction will be positive or negative?

Hi anon, thanks for your ask.

My first impression reading this ask was that I think there's more going on here than worry about fiction and narrative. I think it's totally okay to recognise how that type of projected worry works (and perhaps even how to identify and work with it). There's nothing you can do to control other people and what they think (and life would be very boring if we could do that). It's also important to recognise that these people you're referencing are not people who necessarily share fundamental values with you; if someone would unironically use 'simp', I'd immediately dismiss their opinions wholesale.

I also don't think that in itself is viable criticism, and if the writers were looking for criticism, they would ignore that particular type. Whatever backlash by Redditors against Jaune's character didn't affect the storyline given to him in V5, or even V6, or into V8. We can already demonstrably see that doesn't matter. The same is equally true for Cinder.

I also think the fact that they went ahead with the Ozlem reveal in V6 and then also further committed to the Atlas Arc suggests to me that whilst there are points of criticism from the fandom they take on at times, they still have an idea of where they're going they're not going to turn away from. The Ozlem reveal in particular is pretty damning to people attached to the Huntsman Academy happy funtime premise.

It's very funny you said that Knightfall combines two hated characters in fandom. Personally, as a Cinder and Jaune fan since V1, I have seen a gradual shift in the way the two are perceived, especially after V8 with Cinder. So that's one thing.

Another thing is that, funnily enough, quite early on I said Knightfall was actually a pretty elegant solution to that fandom reception problem. I don't think they would intentionally write it that way, but I do think that Jaune and Cinder make a shit load of sense together that would give you different perspectives on them.

I also am not going to lie, I think some of the hatred towards Jaune and Cinder comes from a childish tantrum that Jaune wasn't the shounen protag they were promised and Cinder isn't the sexy, uncomplicated femme fatale they wanted. By the same stroke, that is exactly what makes their character arcs so compatible and what makes them intersecting make so much sense; the character archetypes they truly are, truly make the most sense together. I don't know how it would go for everyone, but I do think that once they intersect, people might start to see.

But if you go through my blog, like under the redemption arcs tag, you can see me talk about characters like Cinder that are harder to understand, and equally for the compassionate heroic figures in love with them.

I'm not quite sure what the complete context of this ask is - e.g. if you are a Knightfall fan, or just a Jaune fan worried about what would happen to him - but I think, if you are looking for advice, my advice to you would be to try to be part of space where the things you enjoy are taken seriously. If people are mean on Reddit or in Discord servers about the characters you like, you don't have to be around them (or you can just learn to ignore them and be steady in your own opinions. Me personally, I have to be away from those types).

You could start a Tumblr blog (if you don't already have one) or you could start your own R/WBY server for people with a similar attitude to you (I imagine a single character server wouldn't go on very long).

With that being said, let's say in the worst case scenario Knightfall is not received well. By the time it happens, if it happens at all, it's going to be towards the end of the show - which is around when the Relic of Choice will come into play. You can see more under my Indecisive Queen tag, or indeed referenced in my Knightfall masterpost, that them meeting over the Relic of Choice is at least one thing I expect to happen. Also, according to the Vault and Relic special worlds, the two surviving from the first Vault meeting at the last Relic makes the most sense.

So, if it makes you feel better, you've got time where it's not happening quite yet, at least in terms of canonical confirmation (and some people are still convinced Blake/Yang isn't a thing because there's been no kiss).

On the other hand, I think that if people don't understand that Jaune's Semblance is literally compassion as a superpower and that he's got a bigger purpose in the narrative (connected to Cinder) that makes perfect sense, their opinions are not really worth your time worrying about. If they don't understand the themes of the show and basic storytelling, how can you take what they're saying seriously? I try not to be so cynical, but there are a great deal many viewers - and here I'm not sure what it is about R/WBY that seems to attract some of them - that lack the tools to understand how stories work. Like, reading reviews recently that complain a story has conflict? That a protagonist needs something to drive her and something to overcome? I don't know what's exactly happened; to some degree I think it's just contrarianism.

The people you're thinking of calling him a - simp? This is the second time someone has said this about Jaune in an ask to me. What the fuck is going on? What is in the water? Like, I don't know want to know who might say this kind of stuff, but it's very silly. Anyway, I have no idea how a character exercising active agency in a story is a simp.

If someone thinks transgressing the boundaries of the side of Good with the villain everybody expects to be irredeemable and then also committing an act of effective heresy and then succeeding at the task of helping the woman the audience and the characters at large believed unable to be helped is somehow a doormat or a simp, then they're not criticising the narrative.

They're misogynists. I'm just going to say it. They don't know how to analyse narrative. Someone saying that, thinking a male character exercising nonviolence and helping a female character is 'simping' is just a misogynist, and probably not wanting to change their opinion because their defensiveness and victim complex has shrouded their worldview.

I don't think telling them they're being misogynistic will necessarily help; with those types, it never does, especially because misogynistic, in their eyes, is not a bad thing or something that would make them want to change their beliefs/behaviour.

But I do think pointing out they don't know how to criticise things properly is the thing I would do. Because they're not doing that. I don't mean to characterise one group a particular way, but that crowd always thinks their personal aggrieved feelings count as narrative criticism. It is very ironic when they call women emotional. it makes me laugh.

With that being said, I am not exposed to this end of the fandom anymore. I don't know whom you are referring to, and I hope it doesn't seem like I'm trying to stir trouble. But sometimes you have to recognise when something isn't an intellectual debate anymore and is something else instead.

Now, with that horrible shit out of the way:

How do yo think Knightfall will be received by the fandm if it happened? Do you think the reaction will be positive or negative?

I think I have talked about this before somewhere on my blog, and I have sort of already answered this throughout the ask, but I think the reaction will be complex. It does mystify me that basic, thematically sound narrative beats I saw coming (Ironwood's fall, Penny's death) were subject to such controversy. I don't mean whether you anticipated it or not is the problem - I mean the offense that was felt at the very notion of such story beats. So, as much as I think Knightfall makes sense, if it does happen, a lot of people are going to be surprised.

On the Tumblr end of fandom, I don't really see either Jaune or Cinder subject to virulent shipping; a lot of Cinder fans on here don't ship her with anyone, and generally prefer her not to have a romance or don't consider that in their interest. Jaune is usually second to a lot of Tumblr users' interests as well. So I think the reception here might not be as significant as people think. I anticipate a range of reactions, one of which will include writing a romance for Cinder somehow reduces her character because she shouldn't want for things for only herself or true love or anything, and probably some anti-redemption opinions which are nonsensical from the foundation and just people who don't like her, don't like vulnerability, and don't like complexity.

I don't know about the rest of the fandom. I avoid Reddit, Discord, etc. I used the subreddit from the first volume until five, but I quit when people were celebrating Cinder's 'death'.

Honestly, I think we might be mentally overblowing it.

The way I view it as well is that because we bring so much baggage to narrative, sometimes what we're arguing about isn't what we think we're arguing about. That's why the way I run my blog (which is often about interrogating my tastes or why I do or do not like things) is, well, the way I run my blog. I find it really fascinating, and with R/WBY in particular you can see this in an extreme fashion.

I do want to say though, twists that make sense in hindsight are some of the most fun. I think if you talked to the average R/WBY fan and said you shipped Jaune/Cinder, they would think you're a bit weird or someone who just reads fetish erotica (because Cinder's not a complicated character, of course). But if it did evolve onscreen, it wouldn't seem so strange; it's one of those things that might inspire confusion or revulsion at first, and then once you lay out the argument for it, it seems like the only way to realise everything thematically and narratively, and character-wise.

Because as I relentlessly do not shut the fuck up about: I think Jaune and Cinder are one of the major pairings (along with the others) that literally resolves the Ozlem conflict. Moreover, it resolves their own personal conflicts, realises the themes of the show, and it's very, very unique, and the kind of thing R/WBY does best. The clincher for me personally with Knightfall was when I realised it fits perfectly into R/WBY tonally, and it's the exact kind of thing I am into tonally.

Because I am in one of those moods, let me cite Campbell from Power of Myth, Episode 5:

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: What he was saying is that this love is bigger even than death, than pain, than anything. This is the affirmation of the pain of life in a big way.

BILL MOYERS: And I would choose this pain for love now, even though it might mean everlasting pain and damnation in hell.

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: That’s right.

[…]

BILL MOYERS: So there’s joy and pain in love.

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: Yeah, there is. Love, you might say, is the burning point of life, and since all life is sorrowful, so is love. And the stronger the love, the more that pain, but love bears all things.

Love itself is a pain, you might say, but is the pain of being truly alive.

Basically that's it. If you notice, the major R/WBY pairings go through major conflict and deal with major vulnerability and pain, that's what makes Blake/Yang what it is over Blake/Sun, and that's what makes Ren/Nora able to reveal their feelings for each other and see the truth. Part of this is Salem and Ozma's problem. That's why Ozma hides in V6.

This is why I think there's potentially something very major in Jaune and Cinder's favour. The thing people say makes it impossible is the thing I have - not to repeat myself - gone on record of saying the pain between them is the thing that makes absolution, healing, and, well, romance, possible.

Same citation as above, emphasis mine:

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: Right. That’s a very mysterious thing, that electric thing that happens. And then the agony that can follow, which is that which the troubadours celebrate, you know, the agony of the love, the sickness that the doctors cannot cure; the wounds that can be healed only by the weapon that delivered the wound. […]

Well, the wound is the wound of my passion and agony of love for this creature, and the only one who can heal me is the one who delivered the blow, you know.

BILL MOYERS: So we often hurt most the person we love, and heal the hurt by the love that hurt.

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: That’s something like that, that’s the paradox of the job.

Given R/WBY's major mythic influence, both from the monomyth (Campbell is the Hero's Journey, monomyth bloke) and from the mythic and religious traditions from whence the monomyth is derived, I think it's thematically appropriate to share. The Wound of Love also has a presence in Christian theology, which is relevant for a character based on a Catholic saint, and as a story that does use Christian themes (which I think personally it uses like many other influences, not as a predominant theme, but it is there) it is worth considering there's some type of precedent here to consider the Wound of Love.

But with that aside, I think you can still say that interaction of vulnerability and love is there. This is just how I would formally describe it.

Anyway, back to fandom reception: you might be surprised, who nose! I personally think Knightfall is a story beat that makes Jaune's ultimate purpose narrative very clear, and makes him very powerful in a transformative way - and the same for Cinder. But as I mentioned in this ask here, which I recommend reading, violence as narrative language is partly our issue here. To be quite honest, I think that this is actually a theme of Knightfall already, and already a facet of Jaune's character. I just take this to the logical conclusion in the story. If you were not supposed to kill Cinder in V5 and unlocked your magical Semblance whilst you were at it, then what?

Ultimately, I think that whether people respond to Knightfall positively is not really the thing I am personally concerned about. Some people want a simple story and they want to leave a story with fluffy feelings or justified feelings. They want something that leaves them feeling like evil has been defeated and killed and they want it in a familiar way. But I think that the question more pertinent to me is what's thematically appropriate and what is a story like R/WBY trying to do. Even if I didn't agree with R/WBY I would still want it to tell the story it's supposed to do. A lot of people can't sit with discomfort with a story or understand what does and doesn't work for them.

I also intellectually respect a story much more if it commits to its ideas.

At the end of the day I think Knightfall is the organic conclusion of what they've established. A lot of people in fandom do not understand what they've established, and in some ways I think that's the show's fault and in some ways I don't think it is - and is a totally separate post.

As always, I think you just need to find your bliss. If you're a Jaune fan and you're worried, just remember that you enjoy Jaune's character and you understand him in a way some others don't. (I am also a Jaune fan, as is obvious). It might be a fun exercise for you to figure out what compels you about him. If you are a Knightfall fan, I think you may have to get used to narrative and fandom uncertainty. (;

With asks like these, and even by myself actually, I often wonder what's the point of reading or watching stories. It should move you. Are you moved?

okay look I know I said Fingon earns the epithet The Valiant 'cause he's bold enough to approach omega Mae in heat as a joke but now I can't help but obsess slightly over the idea alphas tend to avoid Mae when he's in heat bc he's Big and Tall and Very Deadly, you can't help but keep those things in mind when he's That Cranky, and yet! there Fingon goes sauntering up charming as you please and gets slung over Mae's shoulder like a caught deer and dragged to a private corner every time. king shit

AAKJFHAKFHAF LISTEN IM THRIVING YES THIS IS WHAT I WANT IN MY ASKBOX!!! ok so i laughed when i saw ur reply and have been world building around just that idea lmaooo

Like Mae HAS to be gorg in every au in Valinor, so I picture him as something ppl view as like, the IDEAL omega: beautiful, great at taking care of children, good at minding a House, able to make political connections/small talk, smart, strong, from a good family, able to protect kids/loved ones, tall, etc.

But like, the more "violent" traits were less desirable with elves when they got to Valinor, for why would an Omega need to be able to fight and protect their family from the Dark Hunter if Valinor is peaceful? and as a second gen elf born in Valinor, the traits that makes Mae the Perfect Ideal Omega for the older generations makes those of his generation hesitate to approach. A beautiful deadly creature to be admired from afar, yet a flee on sight once he gets close.

It makes dating hard, it doesn't help that Feanor makes for a crazy and intense in-law.

I like to think that Mae had one heat partner before Fingon. Fingon might not have started his ruts or whatever at this point (because there is the age gap) but like he would have been so close that Mae might have been a little confused/cautious if hes a pup or not (he decides on pup and Fingon is Vibrating with "please god pick me" energy and hes a little heartbroken at being dismissed. Cue plan "Become the most Alpha to ever Alpha ever"). Anyways, Fingon sees Mae fight/test this alpha to see if hes strong/worthy to spend his heat with him/maybe bond?? before he is whisked away by someone else for safety and he saw the aftermath. The cuts and scratches, the brusies, the bitemarks, how exhausted the Alpha was after and vowed right there to Be Better for Mae. Others saw the aftermath too and no matter how much that alpha said how pleased he was about being chosen, no sex is good enough to risk disfiguration with scars.

This is where Fingon comes in. When Mae has another Heat and is prowling around Formenos (not exiled yet but its away from the city and easier on the Omega territorial instincts and there is less of an alpha/beta population to terrorize) protecting His family and he catches the scent of Alpha on the wind and hunts him down. The alpha is shorter than him, but strong, and no matter how much force Mae puts into his attacks the alpha doesn't back down until Mae feels content and allows himself to be pinned by the alpha and expose his neck. The scent goes from Alpha to Fingon and Mae feels his heart swell that the alpha that is perfect for him is the one he loves already.

And then thats it. I like to think they formed a marriage bond/mating bond or whatever, but even if they dont then i can see them still spending Mae's heats together in Beleriand.

I also think that other races are more "traditional" with Omega heats than the elves. Like men have i feel like the classic ABO society. Hobbits have much more Omegas and Betas than Alphas, so their society views Omegas as people who typically have positions of power more so than other races. Dwarves have low numbers of Omegas and women, however they value the idea of Omegas and women as protectors of the home, so they are still taught to fight even if they don't really leave the mountians. They are prized, so many are very honoured and hold high positions that impact the home/doesn't involve a lot/any of travel. The Dwarves opinion of Mae skyrocketed not only after he saved their king but also defended Himring to such an incredible degree during the Battle of Sudden Flame. Ideal Omega in their eyes and was huge when helping build his Alliance

#amber rambles #Sorry i Went Off i have a lot of ideas about abo stuff and worldbuilding lmaooo #THANK U FOR THE ASK im glad i could torment another person with abo ideas lol #pearlescentpearl

How do your OCs feel about NRC Staff? (Pick 4!!)

(A/N: Spun the wheel of fortune again and these are the 4 that came up!)

👑 Iman is generally disdainful of headmaster Crowley, especially when she gets in trouble and ends up in his office. In their private conversations, Jamil has confided in her his suspicions of Crowley and she’s curious about them as well, for…reasons…

👑 Similarly, Iman is not overfond of Vargas either, especially when she was punished with his special physical regime after Beanfest. She’s not necessarily physically weak but she has low stamina and P.E. is one of the subjects she hates most. Also, unlike most of the other staff, Vargas does not defer to her or any of his students (even other nobles) and she finds that extremely grating.

👑 On the other hand, she quite likes Professor Crewel and adores his sense of style. Her grades in his class are pretty average and she doesn’t stand out in any way good or bad but she’s always taking notice of what he’s wearing, sometimes paying more attention to than what he’s teaching. Iman does slightly better in Professor Trein’s class but their relationship is also pretty standard so her opinion is pretty indifferent.

👑 Of all the canon NRC staff, Iman likes Sam the best. She’s one of his favorite customers because of how much madol she drops in his store on a weekly basis as well as giving him the occasional rare artifact from her homeland.

💎 Maximilian is in Crowley’s office more often than Iman so of course, the bird man is on his shitlist too. When Maximilian and Yuulan finally do meet during Book 5, he straight up tells her what we all lowkey already know, that Crowley isn’t really trying to find a way to send her home.

💎 P.E. is slightly easier for him though so he doesn’t mind Vargas as much.

💎 Maximilian’s grades in both Crewel and Trein’s class are around the same so his relationships to them are also pretty standard. However, he has been severely berated by Crewel more than a few times when he began nodding off in class which left a pretty sour taste in his mouth…

💎 He also likes Sam a lot and often tries to use items from his gemstone collection to trade for store items when he’s short on cash, to varying degrees of success.

The other two are under the cut!

💐 Unlike most of my other ocs, Taima likes both Trein AND Vargas and doesn’t much mind their teaching techniques since she knows she can keep up. She’s often said that Vargas reminds her a lot of her grandfather which is probably why she can tolerate his regimes. Taima also loves history of all kinds and her best grades are in Trein’s class. He acknowledges this and greatly appreciates her devotion to her studies, compared to other freshmen.

💐 Her potionmaking skills aren’t the best, so she’s lowkey terrified of Crewel and generally tries her best not to bring attention to herself in his class. Not the easiest thing to do since he’s her homeroom teacher.

💐 Taima also is very fond of Sam and thinks he’s one of the coolest adults at NRC. She’s indifferent to Crowley though.

🦢 Danica has great respect for Professor Trein and does her best to meet his expectations. Fun fact, Trein and Danica’s father are both NRC alumni though Trein graduated 2 years before. Because her father was one of the top of his class, he makes it clear from the jump that he expects the same greatness from her.

🦢 Professor Crewel is her favorite teacher though because she thinks he’s very elegant and under his teaching, her potionmaking skills have skyrocketed. Apparently, he reminds her a lot of her mother who is another talented potionologist.

🦢 But she hates, HAAAAATEEEES Vargas. I’m just going to leave it at that…

🦢 She thinks well of Sam though, and she’s another one of his favorite customers. And she’s still trying to decide how she feels about Crowley.

Assorted AC6 thoughts now that enough time has elapsed for me to write down coherent stuff and I had time to reflect on it a bit. Will be very disorganized because otherwise I wouldn't be able to write anything

Ok this game has skyrocketed into the top 5 favorite games ever for me, and also one of the best games I've ever played objectively. I already felt like this after finishing it just once but the subsequent playthroughs cemented this even more. It's like everything I love about the AC series amplified by 100. They put crack in this thing. Also (though this goes in general for the AC series) I'm very glad to have found a Fromsoft series to get attached to, because I've always loved their way of making games but I could never find anything that really kept me all the way till the end of the game.

Favorite things about this game were the story and characters hands down. I'm the type of guy who plays games for these two things, I don't really care for gameplay even if it's doo doo ass it won't influence my rating of the game much (though this game's gameplay was INSANE good of course. I'm fucking addicted to it) I value pieces of media for their ability to make me feel REALLY strong emotions (which doesn't actually happen often), and I can say with great confidence that rarely has anything ever made me feel as strongly as this game. Probably only Extella and some parts of FGO. I don't remember ever having to take so many and so long pauses simply because I had to emotionally prepare to continue or actually ponder decisions to take. I'm usually very quick to make decisions and just say "fuck it we ball" even in what are supposed to be emotionally charged moments lol.

My list of endings going by enjoyment would be LoR > FoR > AIE. It's hard to explain because I think all 3 endings were more or less equally well-executed, all 3 of them made me feel the equivalent of emotion I feel throughout an entire year, but what makes the difference are the types of emotions and themes. It all comes down to very personal tastes. AIE genuinely gave me an existential crisis and made me go "good lord what have I done" (yes even more than FoR) and was the hardest one to go through emotionally, because it touched on topics I have very strong opinions on and to complete it I basically had to go against all my ideals and what I would normally choose to do. All of this discomfort was more than made up for by Iguazu though. Honestly I'll just talk properly about him and the other characters in other posts when I feel insane enough because otherwise this post would be 3km long

FoR had my favorite mission in the game, Breach the Karman line. Which was honestly one of the highest moments in gaming in my experience. The setting in (near) space, the unlimited energy, the callbacks to the Old King route from 4A, and the Rusty boss fight. Goddddd how did they fucking DO THAT how did they engineer Rusty to be the perfect character for me. And the insane HAUNTING feeling finishing this route gives you. A tragedy of your own creation. The monster who burned the stars.

LoR is the ending I felt less conflicted choosing, even though killing Carla and Chatty killed a part of my soul as well, and I felt like the Destroy the Drive Block mission was a reward for having the courage of choosing this route. Rusty helping you (he was the first one to answer the call.... what are we......) and complimenting you, getting to feel like a real hero, a real Raven... Someone who uses their means to be a champion of free will and freedom. And then the fight with Walter. Him being the final boss was a mix of being caught completely off guard, but also expecting it. I remember thinking "what if Walter is the final boss... No, couldn't be, he's gone". I was honestly terrified of him just blowing up in our face because of what we had done but this was the first step of me realizing that the character I had created in my head, and had been bracing myself for the entire game ("ok this is it, he's gonna get PISSED and show his true nasty self") simply didn't exist. I had been wrong the entire time. Walter means THE WORLD to me and I could (and WILL) write like 50 pages about him.

Likely forgot something and my concentration is already going to shit, but also I don't want to make this post longer than it already is so like. I'll leave the thoughts about the characters and whatever else comes to mind for some other time. If this game doesn't win GOTY I'll become the joker. Also I'm petty saying this because I actually like BG3 but AC6 made me feel more in the 56 hours it took me to finish than BG3 did in the 200+ hours I've already put into it lol.
