Bro you actually got me wanting to marry farm sans 😭 he's so out of my league though. What a man. I like that the whole community wants them to get together too, sans is one of their boys, they gotta have his back and hype him up a little!! I just know there's a monster in town who's offered to plan the wedding for sans, and old ladies love gossiping and playing matchmaker if left to their own devices

"dangit. you found my hiding place before i did."

You jumped, glancing up and over your shoulder, distracted from staring out into the dark. But you relaxed once you saw who it was.

"Ah, sorry." You didn't actually want to move. You immediately felt better for Sans being there, even despite the events that had just transpired, some of your wound-up stress leaking away. "I can go find a new place to cower from socialising,"

"nah, this is fine." Sans sat down on the step, right beside you, letting out a relaxed sigh. He held out a glass of monster champagne to you - you (obviously) accepted. "s'more than enough room for two."

He was right. The beautiful little veranda was spacious enough for a whole party of people. It just so happened that the party had retreated indoors, now that night had fallen. From your spot sat on the edge of the veranda, you could faintly see the lights of the rest of the village, the muffled murmur of the dinner party going on in the house behind you not quite enough to mask the sound of the wind rustling the grass.

You fiddled with the glass. Sans' knee was almost touching yours. He smelled warm, comforting.

"Nice party." You mumbled.

Sans leant back slightly. "yeah. dinner is always good when felinus is hosting."

"Don't tell anyone I said this, but it's much nicer than Theodore's."

"i know he's a dolphin. but still don't get why he only served seafood."

...

You looked at him, and those pretty green eyelights focused onto you.

"So... are you also running away from the matchmaking?"

Sans' smile dropped - then he let out a somewhat pained noise, leaning forward and putting his skull in his hands. You couldn't help but giggle.

"m'so sorry," he groaned. The tension in the air had eased now that you'd finally broached the subject.

"It's fine. Really." You nudged him with your elbow. "It's just old ladies having a laugh. It's probably the most entertainment they've had in a long time."

He rubbed his face. "i know, i know. i just... stars, they're so pushy. it's mortifying watchin' them corner you like that."

You recalled the slight jump of fear you'd had when a cohort of delighted elderly bunnies had seemingly materialised out of thin air in the party to determinedly tell you it was such a shame a 'delightful human like you' was single. They then heavily reiterated how single Sans was, how much he clearly liked you, and what a 'lovely young man' he was.

"They can be strong-willed. That's for sure."

Sans sat up, but seemingly couldn't look at you. "i don't want you to feel some typa way about me because of them."

"... Some way?"

"i know yer anxious to fit into the community." He picked at the fraying sleeves of his knitted blue sweatshirt. "i don't want you to feel... like you have to date me, if you want to be accepted. you can date who you want. or not date. or whatever. i dunno,"

Oh. Your heart fluttered in your chest a little. "I don't feel like that at all."

He eventually looked at you, sheepish. "you sure?"

"Yeah." You waved your hand, eager to cheer him up. "They can be a bit pushy, sure. But it's all in good fun, right? It's not like they're chasing us into a church with shotguns. The worst they've done is very obviously set us up as dance partners at the festival."

A wave of relief seemed to pass over him. "or get us walkin' opposite ways 'round the market so we'll bump into each other."

"Besides." You smiled. "If they like me enough to try to set me up with someone they know, must mean I'm 'in'. So I'm all sorted on the community infiltration front."

He softened even more, nudging your knee with his. "that's true. they love ya. they'll like ya whether or not they've harassed you into datin' me."

"Not like I'd need to be harassed into that anyway."

...

Sans seemed to realise what you'd said before you did. His eyelights, in an instant, were double their usual size

...

"... what'd you say?" He was staring at you.

...

... You could feel the heat creeping over your face, neck and ears. Your mouth had instantly glued itself shut. You didn't answer his question - you just stared at your untouched champagne glass.

...

"SANS! HUMAN!"

Both of you jumped, this time, you felt the cold champagne splash out of the glass and onto your hand as you dropped it entirely. When the two of you turned around, Papyrus seemed just as startled by your reactions as you were to him; he was stood just outside the door, car keys in his hand.

"P-Papyrus!" "bro,"

Papyrus, immediately, gave you and Sans a shifty look. But he quickly covered it up again.

"WE SHOULD HEAD OUT NOW, HUMAN, IF WE WANT TO DROP YOU HOME BEFORE MIDNIGHT."

You and Sans quickly stood, bolt upright, at the same time.

"You-"

"i'll go say goodbye to everyone. you two get the car backed out."

"Sure. Sure,"

Before you could say anything else to him, Sans had hurried past his brother, back into the house. Papyrus watched him head inside with visible confusion written across his face.

...

"... HUMAN," Papyrus glanced at you. "WHAT DID MY BROTHER SAY TO YOU?"

"Uh, I'll..." You fiddled with your hair. "I'll, m, I'll tell you in the car."

Platonic dynamics I want to see more in the (tiny) Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom:

Jack being like an older brother to Hiccup and sort of seeing an older version of Jamie in him and not scoffing at how nerdy he is ("holy crap you MADE this? Man show me how it works!!")

Rapunzel post-her-movie being all gung-ho and cheery, and Merida trying to get her to stop being so naïve, only for Rapunzel to calmly list all the ways she was betrayed and abused throughout her adventures (and you'd only have to go through the canon events of the movie and show to make this work, btw, girl's been through STUFF) and tells Merida she is upbeat and kind because she chooses to believe that most people are good, because so many people stuck with her through so much and so many people came back to her after betraying her. And Merida is like "well dang ok, wanna learn to shoot a bow"

Jack being calm, responsible, and protective of the others without becoming too angsty in the process- playing harmless little pranks to bring everyone's spirits up, that sort of thing

Merida being annoyed by Jack at first, but it's because she misses her brothers, not because she categorically dislikes the pranks. She tells Jack this and he asks her to join him doing pranks. She has much more fun after this.

Rapunzel is good at many things, but not so much inventing, as we see in TTS; her trying to assist Hiccup and him being good-natured about it but entirely accidentally outclassing her

Jack very deliberately keeping his past and loneliness to himself, and the others figuring out something's off because they never catch him sleeping, he's pensive when he's not interacting with them, he's got such wide and extensive experience, and he starts admitting bits and pieces like "I'm older than I look" etc etc

Jack never openly getting angry with the kids because they're kids and he's a Guardian, so instead when one of them is upset or trying to pick a fight with him, his staff will glow brighter or it'll get cloudier or windier or snowier- his magic responds, but Jack refuses to, making his calm all the more scary.

Jack being the first to realize Rapunzel has been through Stuff and sitting down with her when the other two are asleep "what happened to you?" entirely gently and patiently because HE'S A GOOD BIG BROTHER DANGIT I WANT THIS SIDE OF HIM TO SHOW MORE-

Hiccup worrying/getting upset/doing that I Have To Stand Alone thing and Rapunzel approaching him like "you're not the only one who grew up alone, you know. It's okay to rely on us, we won't let you down"

Hiccup doing the I Have To Stand Alone thing in general cause I don't see that a lot in crossovers or at least the arts

The others finding Jack in weird places because super-balance go brr

Jack being reluctant to touch any of the kids for any reason because he doesn't want to see the way they treat him change once they realize how cold and inhuman he really is

Merida recognizing Jack immediately as the only other obviously competent fighter by the way he moves (she was raised around all manner of warriors and guards, after all) and immediately setting about allying herself with him because Heaven knows they all need as much protection as they can get

Merida helping Hiccup to have a moment like he has in the HTTYD books where he realizes he's actually a really amazing swordfighter when he actually uses his dominant hand

Hiccup and Rapunzel asking Merida and Jack what siblings are like

Jack just treating them all like his little siblings

Jack and Merida gathering ingredients together and, depending on the region, Jack teaching Merida the safe local vegetation and herbs because he's been everywhere. Also, Jack teaching the others how to cook with local ingredients

Jack knowing a lot about herbal medicine and helping and teaching the others

After much internal deliberation, Jack choosing Hiccup to hold his staff while he takes care of two-handed tasks

Jack knowing how to style hair because of Mary, and he and Merida helping Rapunzel tame her hair

I don't know if this will ever happen, but gosh dangit I hope Jevil finds someone to remove the chains for Seam! He'll still have side effects from having the chains for so long, probably, but he'd at least stop getting worse I hope!

Also I wish to hug your asgore. He looks very soft and cozy.

@milk-powrit (Other answer is in the tags!)

What I had in mind is Asgore tried to break the chains himself, but he couldn't even scratch them. So he recommends they find a Gaster to try and figure out what they're made of.

They find a Gaster and he takes a look.. he has no idea what these things are made of or how to break them. <XD BUT, he says that usually things like this in his world have a simple solution. You just need a monster more powerful than the chain maker to break it with the power in their very soul. The fact that Asgore couldn't break them with this theory though was.. concerning..

Sometime in the future I'm thinking they wind up in a weird dark world. A world where Queen is an organic creature. The same species as Lancer and Spade King. She is kind, elegant, and HUGE. Not really a meme lord like her in-game counterpart <XD

She happens to be in some trouble with her Kingdom.. And Seam helps her out and really ends up saving her skin. She asks what she can do to repay him. He probably sighed and said his only wish is to be free of these chains. But no one can break them. Not even an Asgore..

..Weeeeell it turns out the secret to the chains is you just need a Darkener more powerful than the chain caster to break them. Which Queen just so happens to be :}

#Deltarune #undertale #seam deltarune #queen deltarune #Also to answer the other question #Bonnie's legs were longer than the others but he stood at the same height as them due to his leg shape. so yesnt?? XD #To be safe I would say Bonnie was taller than the others but crouched so no one really noticed-

Alright, but can everyone just imagine the antics we could've got if there was more time for the Covenheads to interact?

Dana said they backstab each other all the time, which means they don't generally get along well.

Like we could've gotten some really entertaining antics between them.

I'd imagine it'd be like a twisted version of The Offfice, but with queer witches and one puritanical leader.

So now have a few ideas I've come up with.

-----

Belos: Can you all just conduct yourselves accordingly for one meeting?!

The covenheads in question:

Raine is trying to keep whatever is left of their sanity while trying to separate Adrian from Darius while they're fighting with each other. (They're fighting over who has better fashion sense)

Cue Eberwolf biting Adrian’s tail as he screams in pain from the bite.

Terra and Hettie are watching, amused.

Hettie has enough of it and summons one of her scalpels and throws it, nearly missing Adrian as a warning.

Vitimir throws a sleeping mist potion at Adrian (minecraft style) only for him to teleport away and it hits Darius instead, instantly knocking him out.

Mason and Raine hover over Darius, making sure he's okay and not hurt.

Osran's recording everything on his Penstagram only to save it for himself to watch later for shits and giggles. (Along with rest of the antics he's saved)

Belos: (internally face-palming) "We'll continue the meeting, someone just get Headwitch Deamonne and prop him up."

Wait I got some more ideas! This time a few without Belos.

(All the Covenheads are walking to the main room early for a meeting)

Hettie: (whispering to Vitimir) "Is it just me or is Adrian a little less annoying right now?"

Vitimir: "I bet you 20 snails it's an illusion of him."

Hettie: "I bet 20 it's not."

Vitimir: "Fine then, prove it."

(Cue Hettie throwing one of her scalpels at Adrian only for it to go through and the illusion of Adrian dissappears)

Hettie: "What no, Titan dangit!"

Vitimir: "Pay up Cutburn."

Hettie: (annoyed) "Fine." (Hands him the snails)

("Vitimir" poofs away only for Adrian to be revealed to have been masquerading as Vitimir via illusion)

Adrian: "Thanks, I wanted a few extra snails!"

Hettie: (seething mad) "You'll pay for that Graye!" (About to attack him)

Adrian (draws a spell circle to make multiple illusions of himself which all run off in different directions so it was impossible to tell who the real one was which confuses and further enrages Hettie)

(Vitimir finally speedwalks in the main hallway)

Vitimir:" Sorry, I was busy experimenting with my latest potion, what'd I miss?"

---

(Hettie stares daggers at Adrian throughout the meeting then when Belos isn't looking throws a scalpel at him)

"Adrian": "Ow!" (Poofs away to reveal Mason hidden under an Illusion of Adrian) "What was that for?"

Okay, last one:

(Vitimir gets bored so he starts testing out a new deadly potion on himself)

(Hettie notices)

Hettie: Do you mind sharing that?

Vitimir: "No I'm not sharing, besides what do you need it for?"

Hettie: "I have my reasons." (Sadisticly smiles)

Vitimir: (slightly creeped out and sighs) "Alright fine, meet me at my door after the meeting."

Some more ideas/HCs but they're in a general sense;

Osran uses the videos he recorded over time as blackmail for each Covenhead.

Vitimir stays up late mixing potions and tests them on himself.

Vitimir acts like a shady drug dealer when the Covenheads want a potion from him.

When Raine is fed up with Adrian, they'll play their music to make him fall asleep right then and there.

Terra threatens the Covenheads when she's in a bad mood that she'll feed them to her large carnivorous plants. (Everyone is terrified of it, but never admit it to her)

If anyone of the Covenheads gets hurt, they'll never go to Hettie to get healed (she has terrible bedside manner)

This is just the tip of the iceberg, hope you enjoy my ideas.

To aid me on my quest of extreme procrastination, I've decided to translate the French version of The Dragon's Code. For context, the non-English versions of the Thea Stilton books have little extended scenes at the end that are basically just the main characters chilling after solving the mystery. There's quite a bit to translate, so I'm breaking it up and just translating one character per post.

Starting off with Violet!

Right off the bat she writes a letter to Colette, complaining about the nicknames that they gave Vi. She acknowledges the other nicknames Colette gives her friends, like calling Pamela "Pam" and Nicky "Nic" (And Violet points out that it's a bit excessive, since Nicky's already an abbreviated name). Violet then addresses the nicknames that Colette gave her: "Vivi" and "Princess". She hates these nicknames with a burning passion.

In fact, Violet is being so incredibly petty about it that she comes up with a couple of amazing nicknames for Colette to get back at her. My favorites include:

"Collante": Sticky

"Cocotte": Casserole

"Colique": Colic (I had to look this one up to understand the joke; Colic is frequent, prolonged and intense crying or fussiness in a healthy infant. Violet's basically using a fancy term for cry-baby.)

These jokes wouldn't have worked as well in the English version, but they're hilarious in French.

Then she writes a list of various things that annoy her, like loud music (dangit pamela), nicknames (looking at you colette), people who talk while she's trying to study, etc., etc.

However, the next letter Violet writes is to her parents, in which she mentions that she has some new friends! She's like: "Hey Dad, I know I'm terribly shy and introverted and most people view me as a dismissive, short-tempered person, but I have friends now! Even I'm surprised by this development!"

Honestly, it's very sweet to see how much happier Violet is after properly getting to know and become friends with the other Thea Sisters. Despite all of their differences, Violet has grown to appreciate their company and uniqueness. She ends off her letter with a hopeful little note:

"P.S: Raxford (Mouseford in other translations) has an amphitheatre where we can give concerts. Wouldn't it be great if we could organize one and have you come?"

All in all, very cute extended scenes :)

#geronimo stilton #thea sisters #thea stilton #violet chen #over time it seems like violet does grow fond of the nickname colette gave her (vivi) #also calling someone a casserole is one of the most fascinating insults one can think of #imagine annoying someone and they're just like “shut up you're a total casserole” #will probably translate Pamela's letters next #she seems to have quite a bit to say regarding some of her friends #should be interesting #many thanks to the internet archive and deepL for making this post possible

In an outcome that should surprise no one, Crab Option won with an incredibly 44% of the vote. This is the largest share any option has received in the history of the project (we had a 42.6% once, when we collectively decided he was legally entitled to at least a week off Being In The Novel Dracula. Now that a week has stretched to a month, do we still feel so strongly that it's his just due. Well no, apparently his just due is An Awful Lot of Crabs...)

Now the poll didn't specify what was happening with the crabs, so I guess that's up to you all. Was he eating them? Were they eating him? Was he undergoing carcinization? Did they become friends? Were they trying desperately to warn him that Royen is a coastal city and he should probably stop trying to run due west? (He can't be stopped). Were they once men, and now land crabs? Are there such things as Macra?

I am going to repost @paulgadzikowski 's artistic rendition here, since everyone needs to see it:

.........dangit this shoulda been a poll. Okay hang on.

What makes you think jikook are boyfriends and not friends with benefits ??

Oh wow. Why such an easy question anon? Honestly, easiest question I've ever go10. Let's fucking do this

Exhibit a)

Would a fck buddy almost break their neck just to check out their fck buddy's abs and hot bod????

Oh. You know what? NVM this one. You're right. This is definitely something a FWB would do. Its just sex so of course they will admire the abs they're licking on the reg every chance they get. So scratch that one. Sorry

Exhibit a) again.

Would fck buddies stand this close to each other during multiple times on official content?? I mean, if JK was any closer he'd be inside Mimi 👀 Like, JK, please, back up a little bit.

Ahh shit. I just realised. You're right. A fck buddy would totally do something like this. I mean if you spend a good chunk of time with your naked dick inside against the Jibooty you wouldn't think twice about being that close. So again, anon I apologise. I'll find something else.

Exhibit a) for the 3rd time. My bad 🙌🏽

Would FWBs behave like this??

I mean, JK can't get his hands off the Jibooty and look at him bite his damn lip. Are you kidding me???? He is enjoying that way too damn much!

Aish. You're right. You're totally right. A fck buddy would absolutely be obsessed with his FWB's ass. This doesn't prove they're boyfriends either. Damn anon, maybe I shouldn't have gloated about how easy this question was.

Exhibit a) again. Sorry.

If they were not in a rlship, would JK be obsessed with Jimin's lips?

God dammit. Of course he would. If its all about xes and he enjoys kissing them lips, of course he will stare. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Okay, I got it. Let's start again. Exhibit a)

Does this count? JK looking at Jimin like he wants to eat him?

I mean, tbf Jimin did admit he likes to be eaten by JK....

Or like my good friend @lovelysmyleyes put it, he likes being on the MENU 🤭🤭🤭

It doesn't count? Right. I see it. Too sexual. Dangit. Why is all my evidence so sexually charged? I swear I thought this would be a walk in the park.

Okay...okay,. I got it. I got it! Be quiet and just give me a sec. I got this. Jimin and JK are boyfriends. They are more than just sex buddies and I can prove it. Alright?

Exhibit a) for the 6th and last time.

If Jikook were just fck buddies, we shouldn't be able to tell the difference in how they look at eo Vs how they look at other people. Take for example here. Look at Yoonmin. There is a clear difference on how Jimin is looking at JK Vs how Suga is looking at JK

Then we have here JK looking at V Vs how he looks at Jimin

Jimin looking at JK

This is love, anon. This kind of soft staring shows that its not just xes. Feelings seeped in there and they never left... there are feelings involved. Thus the adoring looks.

Then we have the following:

JK calling Jimin and only Jimin pet names.

Them spending all their birthdays with eo. Fck buddies wouldn't bother with something like this

Their families KNOW about them and seem to love the other which proves Jikook are most probably in a very serious relationship

Their exclusivity. This is how JK has never taken another member on an all paid trip and continued to make a romantic Vlog about them. This is how Jimin has never travelled miles for another member just to make it for their birthday. This is how JK has never sucked another member's ear

This is how Jimin only ever tries to kiss JK.

All attempted kisses here.

The special treatment they both seem to give eo. Like JK mostly reacting to Jimin stuff or buying him gifts no problem. And how Jimin lets JK get away with everything but refuses to extend the other members the same courtesy.

It's satellite Jeon/Jikook anon. Fck buddies are not usually this attached to eo. If you're just there for sevening, you have sex and once that's done you're on your way. You don't follow your FWB. You don't try to be next to them all the time. You don't cheat to be on the same team as them. You don't make sure to be next to them no matter what. That's boyfriend behavior anon.

It's the way they always find excuses to hold hands. That is NOT fck buddy behaviour. Not even a little bit.

This list is endless anon. Jimin and Jungkook are more than just sex partners. They are boyfriends and they are in love. There is no two ways about it. It is what it is.

I did it! I answered your question!

Fuck yeah, we got there in the end! I thought we'd never get there. But yeah, as you can see, these are 2 men in love. Phew!

Edit! Found a thread.

Thanks for ask! 😁😁😁

Do you think Shapeshifter can make a new face for himself if Mr. What's-His-Face steals it from him? Or would Mr. What's-His-Face's magic somehow prevent him from recreating his face no matter how hard he tries?

That's a fantastic question.

Okay so we know that the stolen face and the body are still magically connected somehow. Mabel's body doesn't suffocate and die while it's missing a face, and it can see what's happening through her eyes and based on that information write messages or signal the people around her. And on the other hand, her face can speak (which needs vocal cords) and blink, look around, and make expressions (which needs a brain), so the connection's clearly going both directions here. The face isn't severed from the body.

We know that the Shapeshifter actively alters its DNA when it shapeshifts. And we know that embryos of different species look very similar early in development; their heads, torsos, and tails start out looking nearly identical before the embryos develop enough to look like their respective species:

which would mean that if the Shapeshifter is accurately altering its DNA to these target species, there would be a set part of its body that's always "the head"—which would mean "the face" is probably always in the same place.

But, it doesn't accurately alter its DNA. Most of the forms it takes are learned from pictures and illustrations—it has no way to know those creatures' DNA. So it probably doesn't work by reading and copying a creature's DNA, but by looking at a creature and rewriting its DNA on the fly to produce a body that outwardly resembles the target. It doesn't turn itself into a clone of its target, it simply mimics it. And so—like moths that mimic predators' faces by growing eyespots on their wings—there's no reason the physical features Shifty is mimicking should grow on the "appropriate" body part.

All the same, most of the time we see Shifty shapeshift, it appears to be converting its body parts into the target creature's same body part—eyes to eyes, head to head, arms to arms, legs to legs, etc. Unless motivated otherwise, it usually seems to rewrite its DNA similarly to how embryos work: rather than rewriting a body from scratch every single time, it falls back on a basic blueprint for body shapes (so that the head is always the head, etc) and then programs the details (pigmentation, texture, hair, clothes) to give it a more "specific" appearance. But, as we've seen, it's not strictly limited to such appearances:

So, here's what I think:

The part of flesh that Mr. What's-His-Face takes, he keeps. And if Shifty tries to transform, say, from human-shape into elephant-shape, then the face that Whatsis has will turn from a human face into an elephant face. This is because Shifty's first instinct is to keep using the same part of its body as a face.

But with deliberate effort, Shifty could turn a different part of its body into a face, and could transfer the part of its body currently serving as a "face" to some other part of its body, like, the back of a hand or something, so now Whatsis just has what looks like blank back-of-hand skin in his collection.

Internally, this would be like rewiring the nerve endings from your face and hand so that they swap places, and now the face part of your brain is receiving signals from your hand and the hand part of your brain is receiving signals from your face. Somebody pokes your cheek and it feels like they're poking the back of your hand. If you're some kind of alien with crazy DNA-altering powers you could do it, but like, it would be really confusing for a while. And I suspect for a while, Shifty would probably keep accidentally trying to use its stolen face as a face again and then going "dangit" and re-shifting its parts around to make something else a face AGAIN.

Shifty might have an easier time just walking around looking like Slender Man with Pale Man palm-eyeballs until it can track down Whatsis and steal its face back.

An ask for the Arranged Marriage! AU:

(technically 2 questions)

Compared to canon and whatever how much MORE trauma do both Nico and Toby have for the Arranged Marriage! AU???

Also… is Arranged Marriage! AU Nico on bad (like, REALLY bad) terms with all the other demigods at both the Greek and Roman camps??? or is he just on bad terms with Percy, Will (maybe Annabeth too..?)???

Oof-! Uh... they both have quite a bit more trauma, I'll admit. Which I will put under the cut.

But to answer your second question, most demigods avoid him/are wary/ambivalent of him. The only ones he's really on bad terms with are Percy, Annabeth, Will, and - surprisingly - Hazel.

See, Nico and Hazel had a fight a couple months before they appear in the story (which I am working on, dangit!) And Nico wound up retreating to the underworld, because the shadows were kinder to him than reality at that point.

Anyway, one big point in the story is that Nico is too alive to properly live in the underworld, and too rotten to truly belong above with the mortals. So... yeah.

But, back to the first point, under the cut

(Tw for discussions of assault/injury/SA/drug use and a bunch of other things)

The abuse Toby faced was... a lot worse, to put it bluntly. He suffered a lot of blows to his head, and his back... and when his mom was out at work while he was homeschooling... well, Connie couldn't protect him from everything.

He was sexually abused by his father. It's something that he and Nat bonded over (only she, by her brother instead).

Toby sometimes goes to the underrealm (creeps - their place) to have fun and adventure. And Nat comes with him a couple times too, because they're besties and do that. Anyway, they got to partying and drinking, and Nat took a lot of... something, and had an overdose. Since then, they don't really party anymore, and Nat... doesn't stray far from Toby. And she hates the way he looks at her when they do.

Sometimes, Toby exercises to try and work through it/as a form of therapy, but he can also go too hard and wind up overexerting himself to the point of overheating and seizure. After the thirtd time this happened (and Ben had to sit with him while they waited for Smiley to show up), it was decided that Toby could only use the exercise equipment in the slender mansion when another proxy/creep is there with him.

Nico went on his own for a couple years. He got attacked by Dr. Thorn/the manticore (titan's curse). When he shadow travelled back to camp, and had to be healed up by Will and Chiron, that was kind of the last straw for Will. Nico wasn't willing to open up to him, or ask for any help, or... care for his own needs.

He almost wound up getting himself killed - and Will couldn't deal with that. He's had to bury too many friends and siblings to go through it again with the man he supposedly loved. So, he healed nico up... and he left.

And Nico still has the scar from the scorpion tail on his back/shoulder.

Will probably could have healed it, but Nico feels he deserved to have the pain - as a reminder of what he put Will through.

hunk and romelle unwittingly half-taming one of the most dangerous threats their world has ever faced and not even realizing it is both peak comedy to me and also very heartwarming. hunk just sees this sullen transfer student who seems to be trying to avoid everyone else and is just like. no. this cannot stand. I'm going to befriend him.

and Keith does not know how to handle that. He's not used to people being nice to him except for Haggar. He pushes Hunk away at first, tries to give him the cold shoulder, but Hunk is determined, dangit. And eventually it just becomes easier to let Hunk hang around than it is to push him away. He's not... so bad, he guesses.

and then Hunk befriends Romelle, who in turn wants to befriend him. Which is also weird. But he tolerates it like a stray cat who is suspicious of people but also finds itself drawn to them regardless. They hang out with him and treat him like he's a normal person, and even when they poke fun at his weirdness, they don't do it in a mean way?

and before he knows it, hanging around them is just... normal? They've wormed their way into being a part of his life. He has friends now? What does he do with this? He keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop, for them to reveal that this is all one big prank, but they never do.

Maybe there are some good people on this hell pit after all. Maybe he can ask Haggar to spare them when the time comes. She'll agree to that, right?

(he just... can't ever let them know what he is. they're good people, so they'll never forgive him if they find out the truth.)

#what's hidden next to you (will soon be seen) #hahahaa. hahahaha. oh keith. oh baby boy. you don't even know #meanwhile hunk and romelle just see a kid who is EXTREMELY CURSED and are like. 'is no one going to try and break that curse' #and don't wait for an answer #they don't succeed but my god do they try

You’re an incredibly talented writer - everything has such a terrific natural flow to it. Love your stuff!!! May I request your take on the mercs’ first impressions of the reader compared to the moments they realized they had fallen for them? For example, did the reader annoy the everloving crap out of them and then grew on them, or was it love at first sight for some? I hope I’m making sense…

Thanks for considering the request!

Of course and thank you I try really hard to write well for you all! (For some of these I wrote their thoughts and for others I just described it)

Mercs first impressions and when they realized they love you

Scout

Scouts first impression of you was "New rookie? Hope they don't expect me to teach them the ropes"

But once he started to fall in love with you it changed to "wow... y/n looks really amazing today... wait what did I just think??? No no I can't like y/n!"

Spolier: he does like you and it's extremely awkward

Soldier

His first impression was much different from Scout's "AH A NEW PRIVATE HOPE THEY'RE NOT AS MUCH OF A DISAPPOINTMENT PHSYCIALLY AS THE BUSHMAN"

When he grew a crush of you he began to worry he was a favoring you when it hit him "WAS MEDIC RIGHT? AM I FAVORING Y/N... IS THAT A BAD THING?"

Demoman

Demo immediately saw you as a (hopefully) new friend so he of course invited you to have a drink with him

Demo realized he was in love with you when he noticed the fuzzy feeling in his stomach when he was around you wasn't from alcohol

Pyro

Pyro saw you as a new person to be friends with an to invite to tea parties they just hoped you'd be a better companion than Soldier he's too loud for them

When Pyro realized they were in love with you it was when you two were cuddling (as friends do) while watching a movie and Pyro realized how they wanted this to be romantic instead of platonic

Heavy

When Heavy first met you his impression was wondering if you were feeling comfortable or if any of the other mercs had bothered you

When he gets a crush on you he realizes it when he found himself making one of your favorite meals in hopes it would impress you

Medic

Medic's first thought was hoping you would be healthy enough for some of the experiments he wanted to do

When he figured out he had a crush on you it was during a battle when he realized whenever you asked for help he would rush to you without worrying about any other merc

Sniper

Sniper's first impression was "Oh another one... hope they're not as loud as Soldier and maybe they'll leave me alone."

When he realized he had a crush it went like this "I suppose Heavy is right I have been spending more time in the base. But I just want to see y/n...... oh"

Spy

When Spy first met you he thought "Oh dear another one how many more are they going to hire?"

But when he got a crush on you all thay changed "Wait I've had this feeling before... no I can't like them! But their smile... oh gosh dangit"

💍 for Josh Lyman

A marriage headcanon for our sweet Joshy boy!!

Pls forgive me but I'm going to give an engagement headcanon instead, something just popped into my head

Josh has it all planned out

A dinner at sunset on a terrace at a nice restaurant

But he uhhhh

He couldn't plan for the weather

He tried, but the wind kicked up at the last second and dangit, he arranged a table outdoors

And you're doing your damndest to be (hehe) chill about it, but you're freezing

Plan B, he can pivot to a plan B

"Hang on," He slides his jacket around your shoulders, "I'm going to see if they can seat us inside."

He presses a kiss to your cheek and hurries inside

And god you are freezing. Your nose is running. You reach into his pockets, looking for a tissue

There's nothing in the first pocket, so you reach into the second one

And instead of a tissue, you feel.......a velvet box

You go still

Your heart is pounding in your chest

You shouldn't take it out. You shouldn't look

But you can't help yourself

You draw it out, your hands shaking slightly

Maybe they're cufflinks. Maybe this is the box that his cufflinks came in?

You can just peek inside. It might be empty. It's probably empty.

It is not empty.

Your jaw drops slightly at the sight.

There is a ring in there, and as far as you know, not one that would suit his tastes.

Your throat is dry; you're not cold anymore, somehow

You look up as you hear the click of shoes, and spot Josh standing there

His hands flex at his sides for a moment

You feel like you should apologize, and tell him that you weren't snooping

But before you can say a word, Josh is getting down on one knee

"Cat's sort of out of the bag, huh?" He laughs nervously. "I spent all morning trying to work out which knee it's supposed to be. Took a poll, even. Leo said left, Toby said right. The president said it didn't matter. He told me speak with conviction, and reminded me that marriage is a commitment, and not something to be taken lightly."

His eyes search your face warmly, his tongue sweeping nervously over his lips.

"The fact of the matter is, I have never been so certain of anything in my entire life."

He reaches up, gently prying the box out of your shaking hands and taking the ring out. He holds the band carefully, eyeing its glint in the dying sunlight before he meets your eye again.

"Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?'

oooooooooo

og au, streamer enid, and its not really a normal prompt, but it lingers in my mind 24/7

Oh.

Oh.

that is all :D

It takes Mika a bit to realize and like maybe it's her fault but can you blame her?

Oh my god, she thinks. Oh my god, she thinks again.

"They're married," she utters to Isabelle.

The siren actor furrows her brow and she tilts her head. She's a gorgeous Divina, Mika thinks before immediately shaking her head and getting back into track.

"Wednesday and E Addams," she punctuates and she pushes up her sunglasses to rub at her eyes. "it was so clear they aren't flings, Isa! They're married." her hands flop around before she presses it onto her eyes. "all those books about werewolves and a human it's about her wife and Wednesday!"

Isabella blinks.

"oh endespair is going to be heartbroken," she murmurs, a lil frown on her face.

Mika stares, her mouth agape. "Isabelle, I just told you my idol is married and you're thinking of your streamer!?"

The siren actor shrugs and she's smiling. Oh, Mika thinks. She's trying to make light of the situation.

Mika punches her fist against Isabelle shoulder anyways because dangit girl she's panicking! Now is not the time to gush about another werewolf!!

"ow! I'm just saying miks- endespair is really down bad for wednesday!"

"and I'm saying E and Wednesday are married! Nows not the time to bring up a potential home wrecker!

A gasp. "you did not just call Endespair a homewrecker."

I was thinking about the joke people make about Speedwagon Foundation agents dying all the time, and started really thinking about it, and dangit they're all so incredibly brave.

At least in part 2 when they charged into battle against vampires, while still super dangerous, they had UV lights for protection.

But Stands, on the other hand... they are basically powerless. They can't see or touch the Stands, there is no way to fight against them unless you were really smart about it and caught the Users off guard, like Hayato did. Most of them don't have Stands, they know the Joestars' enemies have Stands they won't be able to fight against (and who even knows what those Stands can do, they could all be horribly killed or injured) and yet they keep helping them. They tracked down Dio's location and risked their lives by getting as close as they can to spy on him just to help the Joestars, and many have probably died for that, like the poor guy who spied on the 9 Glory Gods leaving Dio's manor.

They flew all the way to the desert to drop off a dog who might not even help them, and some extra cargo the Crusaders needed for the journey. They probably knew they could die before they even did. The Crusaders were basically at constant war. Enemy Stand Users could attack at any moment. They weren't idiots. And they still helped.

The Foundation ambulance was there once the battle was over, quick enough that Jotaro was able to bring Joseph back before he lost enough oxygen to be declared brain dead. That meant they came rushing into the battle not knowing if Jotaro won or not. If Dio had won, they'd probably be the next to die. But they were there. They were there for Joseph and Jotaro.

And they were the ones who helped with the process of reviving Joseph too, even though they were risking tampering with Dio's body. They might have died if Joseph was actually possessed and Jotaro could not protect them but they did it anyway, for the desperate boy who wanted to bring his grandpa back. And for the chance that it could actually happen.

That agent in part 4 was ready to throw hands with Akira when he was in the cabin. He could have run. He couldn't even see Red Hot Chilli Pepper, he could have died. But he kept trying to tell Okuyasu that Akira was the enemy Stand User and was going to kill Joseph. He was determined to keep Joseph safe.

They didn't get to do much in part 5 but that Arrow Hunt Jotaro and Polnareff went on... it was probably with the Foundation's aid too.

And you bet your ass they probably tried to forge a truce or alliance with Passione after Giorno took over.

I haven't had time to watch much of part 6 yet (I WILL SOON) but I know they helped a lot there too

Many of them probably don't personally know the Joestars. They didn't have to help them. But every single one of them do. Whether they do care for the family or they just want to keep the world safe and understand the Joestars are capable of fighting those battles, they risk their lives for all that. They're all normal humans plunged into Stand madness and they're all still ready to fight and be even the slightest bit useful. Every single one of them.

Very much like their own founder, who did the same for Jonathan Joestar so so long ago.

Seeing your Egg Empire OCs REALLY gets my brain in the "Draw Your Sonic OCs dangit" mode; you're really dang good and coming up with stature and powers and stuff! If I were to be considering tooling around with a new Sonic OC, what's some pitfalls you'd have advice on avoiding? I really want to make sure my OCs look and feel like Sonic characters, and I feel like you've done an amazing job at that - heck, most of your art with Byte and Starline looks OFFICIAL at a glance!

Awww! I'm so happy that it makes you want to draw your ocs ;v;! Please do! give love to your creations <33

Thank you, by the way! I'm glad my art looks official :D! I do my best in drawing it all as close to the canon source as possible x)!

As for OC creation tips... I usually follow these small rules that I've set for myself. They're not strict and you don't have to follow them if you don't want, but it's what I follow when I work on my creations:

-Silhouette: Create a silhouette for them that is recognizable. If the character can be recognized by just their silhouette it means it's a good design! Take your character and put a flat color over all their drawing and look at it, do you recognize it at first glance? If not, then adding an exaggerated trait that gives shape to their silhouette could work!

-Avoid Overlapping Elements: This fits the silhouette rule! If an element doesn't really contribute to the character's silhouette or just clutters the design, then ditch it. The simplest the design is, the better! You don't need to give them tons of detail inside their silhouette to make them cool.

-Give them a Motif or Characteristic Element: Is there something that you look at and make you think of your oc? Give them an element that makes them to stand up from the rest!

-Limited Color Palette: Most of Sonic OCs have from 6-8 colors to 12 max. Try to limit the colors of your oc to that amount to have a more cohesive color scheme.

-Where do they fit?: When creating an OC, the first thing I do is to think: What void can I fill? What does the franchise doesn't have? For Example, Eggman has an Empire but they don't show how that Empire works, so good questions could be... who does the accounting? Who cleans the floors? who prepares his food? And from that point you can start creating a concept!

-Strength/Weakness Balance: Whenever you give them an ability or power, create a weakness that affects that ability. Do they have fire powers? make them weak to water powers. Do they use electric device? Give them a limited battery life. Etc.

that's all I can think for now :D I hope it helps!
