Hey! idk if youre taking requests but i love your writing!

I was wondering how about some angst where the reader likes to make things like donnie does, she talks about it but donnie keeps talking about how he can make something better than that or add improvements and one day she comes in with something she made to show them but before she can show the whole group donnie just goes “thats it? i could make that in a hour, heck 2 hours to make it better than that” and it kinda just diminishes the reader and she leaves

you can add more! Ive just been thinking about this for a bit c: I hope you have a wonderful day!!

I Can Do It Better

author’s note: awww tysm c: i love this idea though i didn’t know whether to keep it just angsty or throw in the comfort at the end so I just went for it!! i hope you enjoy~~~~ <3

warnings: angst, slight cursing, fluff

————————————————————————

This time. This time for sure, you felt confident in your creation. “The bros are gonna loveee this,” you laughed to yourself as you fiddled with a controller. You had made tiny color coded racing drones. One for each turtle and then yours, they were small enough to all fit in your backpack as you carefully placed them inside, also stacking the controllers in as well.

Of course your miniature drones were nothing like Shelldon, and that was the first response you were expecting from Donnie, but maybe he’d be a little impressed by the mechanics and how mini sized everything was, you basically had to make everything yourself, propellers and engines not really coming in such a small size. But you thought it would be a fun way to hang out with the turtles, they all loved a good competition you had come to realize. Whether it was video games or DDR in the arcade, lately even pizza box stacking! The record being a total of 50 boxes on Mikey’s head.

As you locked your apartment door, sending a text to the group chat that you were heading to the lair. Raph had been the first to acknowledge so you deemed it fine to continue your journey. It took about 20 minutes by foot to get to the turtle’s manhole cover. Which left you with plenty of time to mull over how nervous you were becoming. It all stemmed back to when Donnie had first shown you his lab.

“Wow! This is incredible!” You said turning around in a circle taking in the entire place. Donnie held a smug expression on his face, “built entirely by yours truly,” he bowed dramatically and you continued to stroke his ego, gasping at that fact alone. “How long did it take you?” You asked curiously and Donnie waltzed over to his swivel chair, pushing a spare one towards you. The conversation had been you asking questions, him answering arrogantly and you praising his achievements. To someone like you, Donnie’s mind was just phenomenal, he was your very own genius you could badger with a billion questions trying to get a glimpse of his ingenuity. And Donnie didn’t mind all the questions he was used to his brothers not being interested so this was like a complete 180.

“I’m also interested in making tech,” you added shyly, it was your first non question. Donnie blinked, “well I doubt it’ll ever be better than anything I’ve ever created, but cool!” And then he turned to his work table and got busy, asking if you wanted to watch his skills at work. That had lessened the sting as you pushed your chair to roll closer, watching his steady hands.

That hadn’t been the last of Donnie knocking you down. The things you had brought to him, he’d recalibrate or completely dismantle saying, “Don’t worry I can fix this and it’ll be wayyy better,” Even though you hadn’t asked him to do it. At first you were just happy to have sort of collaborated but you soon fell out of the whole idolization.

“Don’t focus on Donnie just focus on Mikey, or Raph, maybe even Leo if it comes down to it!” You chanted to yourself as you descended into the sewers. You had started to visit Donnie less because you realized his words really hurt your feelings. You had yet to build up the courage to tell him that too. So you hadn’t seen him in a while, you doubted he even noticed, he was a busy turtle. “Knock knock,” you called out as you entered the abandoned subway that was transformed into a home. “Y/n!” Mikey hollered and ran over to pull you into a hug. Raph doing the same hugging the both of you, “It’s been a while!” Raph noted as he set the two of you down.

“Sorry about that! Nothing personal in fact, I was building something for you guys!” Raph and Mikey smiled at you,

“Ohhh really??” “What did you make??”

“I’ll show you!” And just as you were grabbing your backpack, opening up the zipper, Leo and Donnie walked in. “Lookie here! Just who we were-“ Leo had started but Donnie elbowed his brother in the plastron effectively making him double over. “OW!” Leo said after regaining his composure. You turned back to your backpack, shaking your head with a smile, they were always fooling around. With your back turned Donnie pointed at Leo, then dragged a finger across his neck. Meaning, ‘you’re dead if you keep talking.’

Leo rolled his eyes, “Guess what guys! Y/n made us something,” Mikey beamed and that had the twins coming to stand in front of you. “Well all of you,” you clarified and Leo rubbed his hands together excited to see what you would pull out. You decided to take yours out, along with the controller. “I made everyone tiny racing drones!” And you quickly went on, not looking at anyone’s face (for fear of seeing any disappointment). Placing the drone on the floor and flipping a switch on the controller, the drone powered to life and it raised slowly according to your controls.

“I thought it would be fun since you guys like to compete, and-“

“That’s it?” Your heart sank as you turned to Donnie, the turtle you had told yourself you would ignore. For some reason that was impossible for you to do. “It’s so tiny, you know Shelldon was a racing drone once, I could totally make-“

You sighed, “yeah never mind.” You surprised yourself and Donnie by cutting him off. Embarrassed you let the drone drop into your backpack, flinching at the clacking sound, but to prove your point you threw the controller in there as well. “I don’t know why I thought this would be a good idea,” you said grabbing your bag quickly and heading for the exit. “Y/n!” Mikey called out worriedly. Raph was glaring at Donnie who had his mouth open, watching you leave. “You might want to apologize for putting Y/n down like that, I mean really Don??” Raph reprimanded his purple brother.

Leo took out a sword, and started swirling, making a portal underneath Donnie’s feet. “Try speaking your actual mind,” his brother winked as Donnie fell through eyes wide with surprise since he had been looking at you and not at his feet. “wait!!” He hollered and reappeared in the alleyway, you stopped thinking that had been meant for you.

“Uh Y/n, what I meant to say was…” he fell short not knowing what to say at all. You turned your head, you hadn’t been expecting anyone to follow you, maybe Mikey if any of the turtles. But Donnie?! “You meant what you said.” You grumbled as you turned back to face the street. “Well yeah but not as bad as it sounded,” he said quickly and you decided to turn completely and face him. “How exactly am I supposed to take your criticism that comes with every single thing I show you, you never say anything positive and-“

You were so upset that you threw your backpack at him. He fumbled catching it as it hit him in the plastron. Then he noticed you rubbing your eyes, his own softened. “Y/n..”

“No!” You cried, hiccuping, “y-you hate all of my stuff, that’s fine but, I was just trying to show your brothers, not you.” Donnie chewed the inside of his cheek, “I don’t hate them,” he gently placed the bag on the ground. “I like that you’re into tech and building your own creations,” he was mumbling. “Sure, just throw it all away, it’s junk.” Donnie grabbed your arm before you turned away again, “I’m sorry, I’m not the best at apologizing and I know I messed up big time,” he sighed letting his grip loosen as his hand slipped to hold onto yours. You blinked and he continued, “I know you’ve been ignoring me, I don’t know why I keep putting you down, it’s like a very bad filter turning my real thoughts into egomaniac bullshit,”

He paused looking into your eyes, “What are your real thoughts?” you said softly. “Just how much I miss hanging out with you, because you’re really cool and actually like the same things I do,” Donnie squeezed your hand before letting go. “Come back, I wanna race with your drones,” he said and you blew out a breath, “fine but don’t cry when I beat your ass,” you said going for the bag. But he beat you to it, tugging it over one shoulder as he uncovered the manhole, “Scoff! We’ll see,” he said with a playful smirk and you stuck out your tongue going down the ladder again.

You won the first match, to which everyone called for a rematch saying they were getting used to the controller or mechanics. “AH HA!” Leo said as his tiny blue drone won the second race. Donnie groaned wondering how he could lose to Leo of all people in a drone race. Mikey had placed all kinds of cute orange stickers on his drone. You went over to him as Leo and Donnie bantered back and forth. “I’m glad you came back,” Mikey said smiling up to you from where he was sitting, the drone in his lap. “Me too.. sorry for the outburst,” you said as you sat next to him. “It’s okay, did he apologize properly?” You drew your knees up and rested the side of your head there as you talked to Mikey though you wondered if he was being Dr. Feelings right now. “Yeah, we’re good,” you smiled softly thinking of how he had grabbed your hand.

“Donnie has always had that kind of trouble, he doesn’t really say how he feels,” Mikey glanced over at his older brothers, Raph trying to break up the twin feud. You closed your eyes, “he kind of said that actually,” you spoke and you felt a hand pat your head. You peeked your eyes open and saw that Mikey had leaned in closer, “you know what I think?” He whispered, and you waited for him to continued, eyes confused. “I think Dee likes you more than he lets on,”

As if to prove his point you felt his hand suddenly leave your head. “Mikey keep your hands to yourself,” Donnie’s voice was suddenly close. Mikey gave you a wink as you turned your head to the other side to see Donnie was now sitting next to you. “I was just telling Y/n how much I appreciate my baby drone!” Mikey quipped as he got up to go ask Leo to race him.

“He’s so bad at lying,” Donnie shook his head as he looked ahead, “what was he really talking about?” He asked still not facing you. “You,” you said honestly and that made him look down, “what about me?” He seemed wary to even ask. “something along the lines of what you said in the alleyway,” it was the truth but you kept the other statement to yourself. “Oh!” Donnie nodded, relaxing as he took out his phone. You watched him, wondering how much more Mikey meant, like a really good friend… or?

You blushed and when you blinked clearing away your thoughts Donnie wasn’t looking at his phone anymore but at you. “What’re you pondering?” You shook your head giggling, “can’t say,” and that only piqued Donnie’s interest. “Oh c’mon we’re rekindling remember?” His phone all but forgotten as he tried to guess your thoughts. “Don I’ve always considered you a friend even though you were being a big meanie,” you teased trying to change the topic. “Not gonna work,” he smiled smugly knowing the tactic you were using very well. “Ugh,” you groaned turning your head straight into your knees as you closed your eyes. You felt him poke your cheek, “penny for your thoughts?”

“They’re worth more than that!” You sputtered keeping your eyes closed despite wanting to see him now. This was the second time he had touched you today. Then you felt his body move closer until he was brushing against your side. “How much are they gonna cost me?” He joked and you couldn’t resist turning your face back towards him eyes opened. He was still looking at you, eyes crinkled in a teasing smile. “A few compliments,” you replied and his eyes widened slightly before his facial expression went back to teasing, “that’s easy!” He said and you rolled your eyes thinking he had never done so the entire time the two of you knew each other. Other than today!

“You’re brain is above average,” he started and you snorted. “Wow thanks,” you said sarcastically, enjoying how he got flustered. “Mmm your style is next level,” he noted and that meant more to you as you let go of your knees, sitting normally, looking down at your outfit. “And you’re really pretty,” he said so quickly you almost did a double take. Your face heating up as he turned away and you could only see one side of his face turning a darker green. “I was pondering.. the idea of us being more than friends,” you said quietly, giving him the answer he ‘paid’ for.

“And that made you blush?” Donnie asked and you replied, “the same shade as you when you called me pretty,” both of you turned away too embarrassed to keep up the teasing. “I’d like that..” Donnie said his hand inched towards yours where it rested on the ground. “Me too,” your hand moving, meeting Donnie’s fingers shyly. Both of you whipped your heads back around, both blushing furiously. “Then it’s official?” Donnie whispered and you nodded. Mikey and Leo’s drones flew past the two of you and Mikey was jumping up and down in victory as Leo crumpled to the floor in defeat. Raph cheering his little brother on happily. But despite that you couldn’t seem to think of anything other than Donnie’s hand in yours, and the way his eyes were showing you so much emotion, how you affected him greatly and he utterly adored you.

Issue 3, 4/29/2023 - The Overseer

Issue Masterpost About the Overseer

This week's news is once again accompanied by a PDF version of your latest news brought to us once again by the lovely Cheer! Pick it up right here for your viewing pleasure!

The Hermitcitizen Hub seems to have tapered off growth right around 640 citizens, but we may have jinxed it, please keep us up to date. This week, a new set of roles has been added so you can let your fellow citizens know if you can be pinged! New rules have been added for your comfort, safety, and pleasure, so ensure you go check those out! Mod applications are still open, and ModMail has been added so you can contact existing Mods easier. On to the news!

We are gathered here today due to the passing of Sirius_Buisness. It led a long and wonderful life. The cause of death was Geminislay. While it was surprising, it was not shocking. While it worked for The Overseer it was fought over, with many of the Newspaper Club declaring their love and fighting for who was Sirius’ favourite. Sirius mentioned that its list of favourite people were in order: People who bribed it, Newspaper Club, and then everyone else. It started after the fall of the court, a Gardening Club in which it grew Anemone and Sampaguita. The deceased is survived by The Overseer and the Gardening Club. The Overseer asks the readers to please give Sirius’s family and friends some peace at the moment.

The deceased asks for you to bring 12 shulker boxes of Sampaguita to The Crastle. Donations of customised socks with its face printed on them and one pair with a photo of King Ren when he was asleep and looked silly would be greatly appreciated. The more socks, the merrier. Donations of clicky pens and diamonds would be greatly appreciated at The Overseer. Sirius’ debt collector has been told to go to the Gardening Club and ask for Tulips.

The readers are reminded that at Sirius’ funeral, there will be jousting to determine who will get to marry Sirius once it decides to make its return. Please remember to bring your anvil protection gear and/or your anvils. To remember it, we ask that you wear neon colours.

Now onto other news below the cut!

Affiliate Happenings

By Roo

The affiliate guilds of the Hermitcitizen Hub have been busy, discussing important things, pranking anyone who crosses their path, and just plain chilling and drinking tea! So, without further ado, let’s take a look at what they’re up to!

Bdoubleo: He's just a little guy!! They’ve been discussing their favorite silly moments (as they should).

Cubfan135: Apparently it’s 1,508 days since fletching table functionality was promised. Mojang, for your safety and ours, please listen to the Cub affiliates. They are right.

Docm77: I think we should be concerned. They’ve decided that instead of making a union or merch, they’re just going to replace all redstone diamonds with magenta glazed terracotta. Please steer clear of the perimeter if you’re the sort to blindly follow directions.

EthosLab: The only reason anyone goes to his area is to check on the dolphins.

FalseSymmetry: They're excited for False, Ren, Scar X, and Joe Hills to be playin some No Man's Sky together! Sounds like a blast. (Please tell us we're funny. We're unpaid interns, we take anything we can get.)

GoodTimesWithScar: Someone hired a charged creeper. Please. Again, for your safety and ours, a charged creeper is not a good employee.

Grian: The Rift tastes like grape juice, battery acid, wasabi peas, and has the texture of stale Cheerios. No, don’t ask how they found that out. Yes, The Rift is right down there if you want to pop down a medical services tent. The Fixer team is also experimenting with ways to play Just Dance and DDR on Grumbot’s monitor! Bribes are in order, including the promise of letting Grumbot control the difficulty of dance. Join in at your own risk.

ImpulseSv: They had a lovely stream watch party!! And discussed falling off of walkways?? Hi, Minecraft, OSHA called, they’d like to schedule a tour for no reason whatsoever.

Iskall85: Hallo.

Joehills: Affirmative nodding. Yes. Joe Hills indeed.

Keralis: Keralis has a hype squad now! That’s awesome, ngl. :)

Mumbo Jumbo: Mango Jumbo. The sus has returned. They’re still talking about redstone. I got scared even looking in the channel.

Pearlescentmoon: She <3!!!! (got squished in a hydraulic press)

Rendog: I can see the founding of the King’s court. This will surely lead to good and not suing the former king. Surely.

Vintagebeef: They’re just chilling! Chillin’ ‘n chatting, how lovely.

Welsknight: They’re going to make a Wels scrapbook! Drawings, anything he’s dropped in the past week, screenshots of the man himself, the hydraulic press that squished him (yes he got squished too).

Xisumavoid: Frenchsumavoid. Need we say more.

Zedaph: According to a scientist, there is a 31% chance that the reason you randomly think of Zedaph out of nowhere is because of a phenomenon known as mind control.

Zombiecleo: They’re discussing Cleo’s TCG tournaments. All is well.

Recap affiliates: How’d they get into reporting?? Oh, that sounds right up our alley. Maybe the newspaper should hire more recap reporters. We already have a couple, but hey, what’s a couple more?

Other affiliates: Most are homeless or live in the shopping district. Living in the shopping district, I must say, is a horrible idea. Warden attacks are many and days without accidents are zero.

If you do not see an affiliate channel on here, it is simply because nobody was active in the past two weeks, or that activity was simply claiming the first message.

Weekly Weather Report

By Virtual Note: Rainy has been kidnapped for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, we don’t have the funding to pay their ransom. We wish them the best of luck on escaping.

Thursday - SUNNY, 25% chance of being challenged to a TCG match in the shopping district. Citizens are advised to bring their best decks.

Friday - WINDY, Citizens working in high areas should be wary of strong gusts. Elytra flight may be difficult to control.

Saturday - CLOUDY, GeminiTay sightings expected around Spawn Town between 1PM - 3PM (GMT). Duels are sure to follow.

Sunday - RAIN, Light showers anticipated across the server, followed by periods of clear skies. Carrying an umbrella is recommended.

Monday - STORMS, 95% chance of Bdubs sleeping before the storm gets serious. Expect clear skies by 10AM (GMT).

Tuesday - SUNNY, Fireworks expected around the Crastle between 6PM - 9PM (GMT). Avoid flying directly above the area during this time.

Wednesday - CLOUDY, 45% chance of HotGuy strikes. Note that clouds may make it more difficult to spot the vigilante from a distance.

META REPORT: BOOMING BOOMERS!

By Arsène

After covering the top of the top, we move into a deck that (in my opinion) is just as strong, but hasn’t gone around too much. The Booming Boomers, as I’ve decided to call them, is a high-paced aggro deck focused around getting your hermits on the board and setting up a strong sweeping Impulse ® to Boomer his way through the competition! The deck certainly has other options, with the amount of extra cards it runs to mill* quickly.

*For people who do not play card games a lot, I will sometimes use terms common in other games. Milling refers to the act of quickly drawing through your deck through cards that discard cards and let you draw more. In the case of this deck, our mill cards are Fishing Rod and Flint & Steel.

DECK LIST ( ® denotes a rare version of the card in the case of hermits)

Tango ® x2

Tango x3

Impulse ® x3

Milk Bucket x1

Water Bucket x1

Diamond Armor x3

Looting x1

Bow x1

Flint & Steel x3

Fishing Rod x3

Instant Health II x3

Double Farm x1

Farm x7

Double Redstone x2

Redstone x8

PLAYING THE DECK

Like stated above, this deck is aggro and looks to set up Impulse ® with a double redstone and two Tangos on board to start using Boomer, dealing 70 damage baseline and +40 for each of the Tangos with him, up to a bonus of 80 damage. 150 damage a turn is enough to two-shot every single Hermit in the game currently. Enabling this strategy is the copies of Flnit & Steel and Fishing Rod letting you look through your deck quickly. Fishing Rod is fairly straight forward to use, with the two cards being put in without any downsides, but Flint & Steel is a bit harder, so let’s talk about using this optimally.

Flint & Steel discards your hand and allows you to draw three cards to replace this. Using this is a last case scenario, so be smart with how you use it. Do NOT use Flint & Steel if you’re going to discard Hermits while you do not have your setup on board. Once you have an Impulse ® plus any two Tangos on board, make sure you have enough items to stock up Impulse to get to Boomer. If you do not have any of the Hermits you need to set up on board, Flint & Steel becomes a priority card, as milling your hand to find them allows you to set up and sweep.

As usual, this deck has a few floater cards that can easily be swapped out for others. Both Buckets, Bow, and Looting can all be swapped out for any other active effects. Try not to grab anymore equipment cards, since your goal is to keep Impulse ® on board doing damage as much as he can, and the Diamond Armors do a great job of this. Alongside well-timed Instant Health Potions, Impulse can stay on the board for a long time with a Diamond Armor. I like holding onto one copy of the Bow because very often, an enemy can switch if a Hermit is in kill-range of a Boomer, and Bow is very often enough to kill most Hermits after one or two attacks. It also synergizes very well with the back-up plan of this deck, Tango ® and Extra Flee.

The big thing to keep in mind with this deck are your win conditions. Find Impulse ®, find any Tangos possible, equip Impulse ® to Boomer and start swinging. Start slamming items on Tango ® as a backup just in case. With the right draw and a strong start, you can quickly end a game by knocking out all Hermits on your opponent’s board before they can draw any more.

Play fast, play quick, play deadly.

That’s all for the Booming Boomers! As always, good luck players, and may you forever draw your Impulses on turn one!

Lost and Found

By Virtual

To the representative interested in claiming “Peekaboo” from last week’s Lost and Found, please meet Paint by Wings & Things in the shopping district. They will be carrying a purple shulker box and three diamonds. We will happily provide any necessary assistance to get “Peekaboo” off our hands.

The following items were collected from across the server over the past week. If you would like to report an item missing, or if you recognize any of the below items as your own, please contact us at [email protected]*

*not a real email address

Item 1: A pufferfish in a bucket named “Charles,” found in the bushes behind Twinkly Trash. Though several people have expressed interest in adopting Charles, we are making an effort to find his original owner. The fish has been temporarily relocated to an impromptu fish tank inside the Overseer offices. The tank is already being used as a desk. If Charles belongs to you, please come pick him up. He misses you.

Item 2: A piece of bedrock, found in the screeching crevice. The item was delivered to the Overseer offices late last week after a resident of Grumbot’s cave found it in the screeching crevice. The item appears to be bedrock, aside from the fact that it can be held in the palm of a player without incident. Though the bedrock is most likely fake, the implications of its existence have sparked more than one crisis in the citizens who beheld it. If it belongs to you, please collect it, and consider destroying it.

Item 3: A dusty book written in galactic, found within the bowels of Joe Hills’ pinball machine. Joe Hills, when confronted with the book, denied any ownership of the item. When translated, the book appeared to contain a list of horoscopes stretching for the next several years. Each horoscope was highly specific, to the point of being disturbing for our translator, who refused to interpret past a prediction for Libra set three weeks from the writing of this article. If the book is yours, please reach out to collect it. If you do not own the book, but can translate galactic, we encourage you to try reading a few passages for scientific purposes.

Item 4: A collection of fourteen chests in minecarts, found abandoned in the woods surrounding Scarland. The minecart chests were found when a Scarland employee tripped over them on their way to work. Despite this area of the woods being clear the previous day, the minecarts were sunk half into the ground and covered in vegetation, as though they had been slowly buried over the course of several years. Within the chests were three clocks, a diamond hoe, thirteen stacks of cobblestone, and four blocks of red concrete powder. All efforts to remove the minecarts from their half-sunken state have failed. If this chest monster belongs to you, please collect it in the woods behind Scarland Castle.

Item 5: A red shulker box stained with a rusty brown substance, found washed up on the shore near Grian’s base. The box appeared two Fridays ago and was dropped at our office door by someone claiming to be one of Grian’s employees. The player vehemently insisted it not be thrown out before vanishing as quickly as they appeared. When opened, the box smelled faintly of seawater and contained several red corals, all stained with the same brown substance as the shulker’s exterior. The stain spreads to anything the box is placed on and smells faintly of rust. When collecting this item, we suggest bringing a pair of thick gloves and perhaps a face mask.

Has your favourite little guy been put into a situation they can’t get out of? Do you have questions about how a mountain appeared on top of your house last night? Question no more, for The Seers are here to help! Questions can be submitted through the ask box and are collected throughout the week.

—————————————————

Dear Seers, Hello! I keep finding myself waking up from a daze in random places and almost exploding! Is there any possible way to stop this from happening? - :D

Hello, dear smiley face. It seems I have the honour of answering your question today. Tying yourself in your bed is a highly recommended idea, as is simply finding someone who will accompany you at all times of the day. Looking for wither roses in a tavern will let you meet many who are interested in such jobs, as long as there is payment on the table. You may, also, simply try not being in a daze. I have heard that a well-timed swim in a cold river could wake up even the sleepiest of beasts. - The Seers

—————————————————

Dear Seers, How do you fill up someone's walls with TNT and make the said TNT not explode their house just give them a little scare? - Avoiding Property Damage

Hi, Avoiding Property Damage! You have three options here! First and foremost, have the TNT explode in a block of water so it doesn’t cause any damage to the blocks around it. This can be down in many different ways, but I suggest the ol’ single block stream of water method. Downside is unless if you’re present you can only realistically do 1 piece of TNT this way, due to all TNT having to be lit at once. Option two, ignore the walls go down under! By digging 5-7 blocks below the persons base and placing TNT you can get the full effect of how ever many TNT you want with minimal damage. However, it is possible for the TNT to push one another up into the floor causing a lot of damage. Option 3, ditch the TNT! Shriekers are your safest bet, as they cause just as loud of a noise with zero risk of property damage. However, they do cause a risk to your safety due to the method of collecting them. For legal reasons The Seers would like to clarify that it is not responsible for any property damage caused due to someone following our advice. Have fun! - The Seers

—————————————————

Dear Seers, I had the most AWFUL day at spawn :(((( somebody set glitter traps EVERYWHERE and I got caught in what feels like at least twelve of them!!!! Do any of the Seer have advice to get rid of glitter? The glue is making it really hard to get rid of! And any idea whose fault this is? - The Very Sparkley, Not Vampire

Hello Not Vampire, hopefully I can be if some assistance, Hmm, I wonder if there’s a glitter related Zedvancement somewhere in the archives that could be of use… I’ll have to get back to you on that. In the meantime, step one is to figure out what type of glitter and glue is in use. I’m talking metallic, plastic, or biodegradable glitter, glue of the washable, super, or hot variety? Step two is to then design a contraption to remove both the glitter and the glue. I personally would suggest a shower or either water or acetone (depending on the type of adhesive) alongside an apparatus for removing the particles. Perhaps some sort of full body lint roller? Now that I think about it, this would be quite the useful device, I’ll look through some records and workshop some blueprints and get back to you ok? - The Seers

—————————————————

Dear Seers, I’m stuck in someones walls. How do I get out? - Does This Count As Breaking And Entering

Hello Does This Count As Breaking And Entering! I hope you like the walls you’ve become trapped in, because like Grian in S7 and S8, you now live in them! Can you get out? Yes, you can. Is if funnier if you just live there until you’re discovered? Also yes. I hope you’ve enjoyed this non-help! - The Seers

OK OK, Finish the feed and plug the thing

Been distracted by current events and guilty for lack of productivity, but you're not gonna look at it if I don't keep bothering you!

You clicked this yet?

YOU WILL! Oh-ho, yes. The water shall inevitably wear away the stone! Or you'll slip up while trying to scroll on your phone. I'll take either! Noooo, don't just close it out! It has found families and cool magic-punk shit and politics.... WAIT! COME BACK! I'M SORRY I MENTIONED THE POLITICS!

Known Readers: 3 (hi!), 1st Goalpost: 10

Known supporters: Still not asking but I'm gonna come back with another six pack next week. I'm too impatient to wait indefinitely for my vision and illustrating ability to stabilize.

And you get a sample, under the cut! Let's see, what am I feeling proud of today...?

[How about something from Meet the Roll-A-Dance, my narrative-form cast intro. You can meet most of the main characters this way! And see how they play Steampunk DDR!]

“All right,” Hyacinth said, stepping onto the dance pad. “I’m not going to be good at it, but I know how to do it, so I’m going first. You all have to play,” she informed them, pointing a finger. “Except maybe Mordecai.”

Mordecai snorted and folded his arms across his chest. “What, because I’m old?”

“Because you don’t breathe very well and I’m afraid it might kill you. But yes, also, you are old.”

“You’re not exactly young, Hyacinth.”

“No, but I have regular meat lungs that work better than yours.”

“And whose fault is that?” he cried.

She tipped up her nose. “Furthermore, I am more than willing to humiliate myself to have a good time — which is not required, but helps.”

There were a few snickers from the group of them, Sanaam and the kids especially.

“Okay!” she said. “Don’t stand on the frame. Stand on the buttons, the left and right buttons. When two arrows come up at once, you have to jump and hit both. You need to hit the arrows when they come up to the line. They follow the music. This looks like a newer machine, so they’ll probably light up and disappear. Songs are here, difficulty is here.” She left it on Normal, her pride would not allow her to dial it back to Easy. She had played these things before, damn it. “I think that’s all, but it’s been a while since I’ve played. If I remember anything else, I’ll say it.”

She selected “Nina, Pretty Ballerina.” A simple tune of five notes played as a metal arm bearing a thick scroll of paper slid into the gaping space at eye-level and spooled from bottom to top. A thin gold wire across the top of the page flickered to light.

Nina, Pretty Ballerina — ABBA was printed at the top of the scroll. The paper began to roll. One of the boxes lit up with a ping. Sing Along! it advised.

“You are forbidden from singing along,” Hyacinth said quickly. She was trying to remember the damn thing after maybe thirty years. She did not require vocal accompaniment, especially a goofy-ass song like “Nina, Pretty Ballerina.”

There were rectangular punches on the scroll, lyrics, and arrows. When the punches reached the top, the band organ cranked up and cheerfully began to play. There were drums, whistles, a xylophone and the organ itself available, as well as various sound effects, such as the boo and a cheer. The arrows were magicked and they glowed. When they reached the gold line, they flashed and vanished.

Oh, my damn dress, Hyacinth thought, as she landed two steps and flubbed a third. It wasn’t as bad as some of the numbers David had put her in, but it was ankle length and it interfered when she picked up her feet. She hitched up the skirt in both hands, then rolled it into her left and held it against one hip.

Boo! the machine admonished her, regardless, blinking the sign.

“You hear it?” she said breathlessly, grinning.

Sanaam was grinning back at her, he nodded. Milo was rocking back and forth with a vague smile; he liked the music. Lucy was dancing in place with a big smile; she liked it too. Maggie and Calliope were watching the scroll, Erik was watching her feet. The General had her arms folded and was examining the ceiling.

Mordecai said, “It’s deliberately annoying.” He winced as she missed another step. “And flat.”

“I told you!” she cried. The Boo! sign was blinking regularly now, warning her against further errors. Aw, come on, she thought. Let me finish! I’ve almost got it!

Boo! The sign lit up solid. The roll spooled rapidly to the top and ejected.

“Crap!”

She got a smattering of applause. Mordecai and the General abstained. Lucy was particularly enthused. “Play it again!” she demanded.

Hyacinth bowed. She shook her head and threw down the skirt of her dress. “I’ve had my turn. Someone else try.”

“I wanna!” Lucy cried, lifting a hand.

“Well, you might be a little short for it, but okay…” Hyacinth read off the songs for her.

“‘Butterfly’!” said Lucy. “I want that one!”

Hyacinth punched it in. “B… 6…”

Lucy had absorbed that you needed to push the buttons and look at the arrows. Everything else had gone over her head. She also did not seem to notice that the machine was chastising her. She smiled the whole time. Calliope also smiled the whole time. Everyone else winced. The machine gave her twenty seconds of missing every single step before it ejected the roll.

“Aw, it’s so fast,” she complained. “Can I go again?”

“Everyone gets one song,” Hyacinth said, helping her down. “To start. You can have another later if you like.”

“Okay…”

Milo had a go next. He wasn’t familiar with most of the songs, but he did like that first one. He selected “Intermezzo No. 1.” It was by the same group. Also, it had a number in it. The scroll slid into place. Sing Along! did not light up for this particular piece.

He stood on the left and right arrows and considered the scroll.

That’s a little stiff. It needs oil.

So, what am I looking at here?

The punches were for the band organ. Vertical axis for timing, horizontal for which note and which instrument. Simple enough. But some of the punches weren’t playing.

Is that supposed to happen? Did I screw up?

“Milo, you’re supposed to hit the arrows,” Hyacinth said.

Milo frowned. This music was unpleasant.

Oh, wait, I see. The punches it plays are contingent upon the arrows. If the arrows are entered incorrectly, then this set of punches engages. Correct entry plays a completely different set.

“Was he not here when I explained about the arrows?” Hyacinth muttered aside.

It’s meant to be unpleasant. The arrows are…

The scroll spooled and ejected.

Excuse me, I was looking at that!

Milo selected “Intermezzo No. 1” again. The scroll slid into place and began to roll.

Okay. I get it now. This is all code. The punches are code for the machine and the arrows are code for me. We’re supposed to compliment each other. It’s playing the music so I have an auditory cue for when to enter my part.

“Mordecai, do you think he’s hypnotized or something?” Hyacinth said.

If I enter my code properly, it will reward me with nice music. Let’s see, that means jump, and that means turn in a circle. Ah! And the arrows with trails on them are sustained. This is easy! I don’t have nearly as much to do as the machine!

The scroll spooled and ejected.

Milo selected “Intermezzo No. 1” again.

“Auntie Hyacinth, he’s had three plays,” Lucy said.

“He’s not playing,” Hyacinth replied.

Milo started to play. For the first little bit, he kept glancing down at his feet, but that threw off his timing so he quit it. The buttons were pretty darn big, anyway. It was supposed to be easy for him. It was a game. He landed his first jump partway on one of the spaces between the buttons and frowned at himself. He was disappointing the machine. He pulled back his shoulders and tried to be a little more machine-like himself.

Up. Down. Left. Right. Eighth note. Quarter note. Oh! The different beats are different colours! This is so simple. It’s telling me everything I need to know.

Except where the buttons were, but if he metered his motions and paid attention, they were no trouble either.

“Holy shit, he’s good at it,” Hyacinth said softly. This wasn’t a thing you were meant to be good at. You were meant to be sort of mediocre at it and just frustrated enough to keep feeding it coins.

The cheer engaged.

Hey! All right! Best possible code version!

What a nice machine. With all the information and the feedback, it was like it was holding your hand the whole time. He nailed the rest of the song, despite the code’s occasional playful attempts to get him tangled in his own feet.

When the roll ejected, it applauded him.

So did his friends.

He smiled.

That was really fun! I like doing code! Why am I tired?

He had just been pushing buttons the whole time. They weren’t even that far apart.

It’s rather fast, Milo.

He subtly shook his head. Ann, I work on an assembly line. Don’t talk to me about fast.

Calliope took his hand to help him down and she wrapped both arms around his waist. “That was really cute,” she told him. She planted a light kiss on his cheek.

He gazed longingly at the machine. Aw, I want to go again.

But, maybe breathe first. Maybe breathe for a while, actually.

Maggie wanted to hear “Butterfly” as it was meant to be played – not in punishment mode. She commandeered the pad next and selected the song. She was good enough to keep it from ejecting immediately, but she still lit up the Boo! sign at regular intervals. It did not help that Milo kept leaning in, pointing at the scroll, and saying NO LOOK NO LOOK, like she didn’t get she was supposed to be doing the steps on the scroll.

“I see it, Milo!” she snapped finally, and that got him to back off. She got through the song, but the machine was not overly impressed with her. It did not applaud. Yeah, well, screw you too. She offered it a sign of her own.

“Magnificent!” the General cried.

“What?” said Maggie. “What do you want me to do? Apologize to it?”

“Apologize to Lucy and Calliope!”

Maggie sighed. She dropped a sarcastic curtsy, with her fingers plucking empty air above her trousers. “I am so sorry Miss Otis and Miss Otis. I will warn you the next time I intend to be rude so that you may avert your sensitive eyes.”

“S’all right,” Calliope said.

“Huh?” Lucy said.

“That thing is a bad influence,” the General muttered.

Grinning and nodding, Hyacinth replied, “It’s meant to be!”

*stumbles over her own feet in her rush to get into you ask box* Hi Franky!!! This sounds so fun!!! :D I'm pretty sure you know for which characters I'm gonna ask anyway... hehe... could I ask for a date with Ace or Marco with #35 or #18? :D (I just imagine the CARNAGE Mario Kart would be and have to chuckle). Thank you so much!

I don't normally do *both* but I am in need of some love and wanna do both the boys so I hope you don't mind headcanon styles but with both the boys <3

Prompt: playing computer games SFW GN Reader x Ace GN Reader x Marco GN Reader x Marco x Ace [Polyam\age gap]

Marco

You don’t think he would be into video games and he kinda is, he doesn’t like the ones you can sit and play by yourself. His entire enjoyment is from playing them with others.

He’s a killer at rhythm games, guitar hero, rock band, DDR. He’s just really, really good at them for some reason.

Marco doesn’t mind sitting there and watching you play games though, he’ll watch and make comments, ask about certain things, ask about the plot he’s missed, and whatnot.

Likes to see you having fun.

When he told you he loves to play rhythm games you and him buy rock band and some guitars.

He’s excited.

You’d planned a nice video game date, pizza, drinks, and a night of loud music that might get people banging on your door.

“Sure you’d rather do this and go out? I don’t mind booking us a table somewhere.” He offers you, again, but you smile and put the disc in, setting it up.

It’s a lot of fun, he’s a graceful winner and loser but you can tell on some levels he’s losing on purpose to make you feel good.

And it’s sweet and you love that about him.

You guys play late into the night, complete the game and just go over your favorite songs over and over.

ACE and Polyam Undercut

Ace

Loves to game, he might even be that kinda guy that has a twitch and streams things.

Likes shooting games, and party games, he’ll spend a lot of time in the arcades.

“Hey wanna hit the arcade tonight babe?” He asks and you shake your head, pulling him down onto the couch with you.

“I bought the new Mario kart and thought we could stay in tonight? Pizzas?” you suggested and saw his brows quirk and he was very interested.

Lots of food on the way you both start playing games.

You forget that Ace gets very competitive, how he turns his entire body to turn the wheel like it would somehow make the car in the game move better.

He makes it personal, always trying to get you with his attacks.

“Ahhhh your back in fifth place you’ll never catch up.” He said with a wide grin as he turns another corner.

“We will see about that, Freckles..” You find a cheat path and end up in front, beating him at the last minute and he pouts.

Not a graceful winner or loser.

There’s a knock at the door and you see him perk up, his bad mood at losing well and truly forgotten as he rushes to collect the pizzas.

Marco and Ace Polyam

Marco orders the fast food on his phone as you and Ace bicker playfully, toss around smack talk as you pick the game you wish to play.

Ace wants to play this and you want to play that and Marco is just sitting there on the sofa looking at the choices before he suggests “Why don’t we take it in turns? rock, paper, scissors for the first choice?” He asks with a hum and you and Ace agree.

Ace shrugs, not like he doesn’t like this game but it’s Marco’s favorite.

“Alright but I get drums.” He says and is already pulling out the fake drum set as Marco hands you a guitar, fingers brushing gently and he smiled softly, warming your heart.

The three of you play, enjoying the teamwork aspect of playing games.

Pizza turns up and Ace throws himself down the hallway to go and pick it up.

The three of you get comfy on the couch. Eating the food and watching whatever is on TV.

Ace leans into you as he sips his soda, you feel his arm around your back, his hand pulling at Marco’s to hold.

Marco chuckles and leans into you, getting closer to you and Ace.

“Mario Kart after food right?” He asks and eyes you both up.

“Yes Ace,” Marco hums and you grin at the thought, looking down at Ace.

“Desperate to get your ass kicked?”

He sits up straight and fixes you a look and smack talk counties as Marco happily finished his ham and pineapple pizza, extra pineapple.

Also u can pry Transmasc Rise Donnie (+ Leo) out of my cold dead hands

Warnings; accidental misgendering, I'm not sure if I cursed yall I mightve

( Romantic ) Rise ! Donnie x Male (Transmasc) Reader

Mutual Understanding

It was a dingy morning in New York city, and you were currently standing by as the guys fought over who got to play DDR next.

You smiled as you watched them all, feeling that sense of familiar comraderie as you watched Rpah and Leo start to wrestle, giving Mikey and Donnie ample time to steal the machine.

You decided you wanted in as soon as they rushed for the machine, so you smiled and stepped onto one of them, Donnie rushing up beside you with a grin.

"Haha! I win! I won! I got here first, in your FACES!" He cackled, as you turned to see Mikey next to you, staring at you like you had killed his cat.

"Sorry Mike, rules are rules. You'll get next turn." You smiled, as Leo slid up next to Mikey, glaring playfully at you.

"Not if I have anything to say about it."

"You don't." Donnie spoke from behind you, causing you to let out a little laugh before turning to the machine.

Donnie picked a song and gave you a grin, you returned it easily before the game started up, and the two of you were off, stomping on tiles and humming along to the familiar tune.

In the end it was a close race, but Donnie did come out on top. But the other guys still applauded your effort.

"You did so good! Like lightnin on your feet!" Raph exclaimed, and you got just a bit bashful.

You were about to say thank you, when you felt Donnie's weight over you shoulder, glancing over to see him grin at Raph.

"I know, I know, I just have the best girlfriend-" your face dropped and you glanced to the floor, unconsciously tensing up at the comment.

God. You still hadn't said anything.

You had discovered.. one or two things, weeks ago! After months of not really being sure, you now had a definitive answer, but you were too scared to even bring it up.

Unbeknownst to you, Donnie had instantly felt you tense underneath him, but he continued his gloating as not to put you under any unneeded attention.

Once he was done gloating however, he pulled you to the side. You happily being tugged along as Mikey and Raph hopped onto the machines.

Donnie put his hands on your shoulders, giving you a worried look. "What happened? You tensed up and shut down, was it something I said?"

You blinked, surprised that you had been called out so easily. "Uhm, well.. I mean.. it's complicated.. I just.." you glanced over at the others, feeling your stomach turn at the idea of saying something in front of all of them.

Donnie caught your glance and hummed, thinking for a moment. "We could go to my lab? Or my room if you're more comfortable there."

You looked at him, face sincere as you nodded hesitantly.

He smiled a bit and nodded back before gently taking your hand and leading you out of the room and into his lab.

The familiar white noise soothes your nerves, and you feel yourself relaxing before making eye contact with Donnie.

He's looking at you so worriedly, taking one of your hands into his and holding gently, and suddenly you're confused as to why you were ever nervous about telling him this.

And so you take a deep breath, preparing yourself. "Okay so.. this has been.. bothering me, for a long time. And I only just recently figured out why.." you spoke softly, glancing up at him from the floor.

He saw you look and nodded encouragingly, trying to be as supportive as possible.

"Okay uhm.. I'm just gonna rip the bandaid off." You decided out loud, standing up straighter and squaring your shoulders.

You took a deep breath, closed your eyes, and- "I'm trans!"

You peeked your eyes open when you were met with silence, your whole body deflating as the anxiety caught up to you for a moment,

"I.. I mean, transmasc. Like I.. I'm a boy, or like boy adjacent- I came across the term a little bit ago and it fit really well and-"

You cut yourself off as he put a hand on your shoulder, smiling in that amused way of his, for some reason.

"It's okay, I understand what transmasc means. Well.." he paused, pushing down a grin as he squeezed your hand. "I'm trans as well. I didn't think you'd find out like this of all the ways you could've, but admittedly this is a bit of a relief-" he kept talking but you didn't hear it, too preoccupied with the idea of your boyfriend, also being trans. It made everything else so so much easier..

You cut him off as you squeezed his hand, looking at him as you barely held yourself together. "..can I hug you?" You asked softly, and his heart practically broke under the weight of your stare.

He nodded, and instantly your arms were around him, shaking just a bit. He wrapped his arms around you in return, muttering into your shoulder,

"This was really eating at you huh.."

You nodded, sniffling a bit.

"Well, I'll have you know that you needn't worry about the others. I shan't say any specifics but I'm absolutely positive they'll have a similar reaction as I did." He squeezed you tighter, "You have nothing to worry about."

You nodded, slowly rocking the two of you back and forth. "Is.. is it okay if we just stay like this for a while? I just really needed a hug."

"Mhm, I'll let you know if I get uncomfortable."

"Thank you.." you mumbled, almost bursting into tears as you felt Donnie press his face into your shoulder.

"Of course."

Few questions about VanillaChai, if you don't mind:

What's a typical date/hangout look like for them?

Who confesses first? How?

Do they sing any songs together?

AWW, I don't mind at all!! I'm happy to answer questions about them, hehe~ Thank you for asking!! <3 :3 1. What's a typical date/hangout look like for them?

Probably those nasty ass "boys will be boys" kind of hang-outs with pizza boxes and chip bags and junk food trash all over the place- OKAY IN ALL DUE SERIOUSNESS, yeah, they would have hang outs like that often when they're tired from work and wanna just be lazy for a day with each other. They both stock up on junk food they like and make a list of movies to rent that they'll watch/talk and make jokes throughout. Vanilla will then head over to Vandelay Island and Chai will answer the door of his new apartment in his boxers like "Rule 1 of Casa Chai: NO PANTS!" So they'll just lug around at his place. Vanilla will try to clean up a bit and Chai will smack his hand like "Dude, stooop, just relaaax! We'll worry about cleaning that up later!" At some point they'll hear scratching at the window and see it's 808. They let her in enthusiastically before they hear Peppermint's voice asking "Wwwwhy are you guys not wearing pants?" And Chai has to tell Peppermint that she's not allowed to look in or eaves drop while he's having a dude night with Vani. She snarks him like "Eugh, why would I wanna listen to you guys be annoying about dad rock and puns in your underwear?" But she totally eaves drops at some point and Chai can tell and gets at her.

When they're up to actually going somewhere they'll most likely hit a record shop or arcade, or both! Chai dominates at DDR and Vanilla 100% slips at some point and falls on his ass. They use up any tickets they get from ski ball or w/e to grab candy and dumb little prizes that they'll either lose on the way back to Chai's place, or forget about in their pockets for weeks until they reach in and find it and pog and mess with it for 5 minutes.

2. Who confesses first? How? I actually haven't really thought about how a confession would go between them! Like, I mean, I've imagined scenarios, but I've never thought of one that felt...legitimate for them? For now, they're just trying to have a proper friendship again after their initial friendship in college was so...rough. Though I imagine Chai is crushing on him p bad and takes any chance to flirt or make a move. Vanilla always responds with a little laugh and a, "not so fast, guy." Even though Vanilla often flirts back when he's aware that he's being flirted with. It takes time for these two goobers, basically. When they do fess up, I think it's a quiet mutual thing...maybe they're hanging out on the roof of some place talking and snacking and they both reach for one another's hand during a quiet moment. They don't need words to understand what they're trying to get at...especially because they're both awkward dorks it's for the best they don't say anything and just let the gesture speak for them.

3. Do they sing any songs together? In the past, Vanilla let Chai do all the singing because he was embarrassed by his monotone voice. It made it really difficult for him to sing well and he didn't want to look lame in front of Chai.

Fast forward to the present, Vanilla starts taking speech therapy and he gets confident enough to sing along when they hang out and listen to music together. Chai's so stoked he drags Vani to a karaoke place so they can be as loud and dumb as they want.

I could see their go-to songs ranging from genre to genre tbh...but they are absolutely singing some ABBA like no one is watching.

#vanillachai #oc talk #THANK U FOR LETTING ME RAMBLE ABOUT THEM !! <3

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #9

I was going to go back to my favorite bubble tea shop today to continue to work on the music box for someone in my social circle, but a bit of a weird thing happened today that I'm not yet really ready to talk about. It definitely threw me off my groove, but I'm not about to toss anyone out a window, don't worry, hahaha!

(wait; have you seen that movie that this reference is from? i don't know what stories you have access to, what with you being at the Edge of Creation and all. it's about a selfish emperor who got turned into a llama; shenanigans ensued, and he came through the other side changed for the better - it seems silly at first glance, but… 10/10 would recommend.)

I probably won't respond to the weird thing that happened (or anything else, really) until the resulting adrenaline clears from my body. Bodies are kinda funny in that they'll release adrenaline in response to a real or perceived threat, and being an abuse survivor is kinda funny in that a lot more things end up seeming like threats (even though in normal circumstances, they're totally not), as compared to someone with a less tumultuous upbringing.

The old environment that I grew up in taught me that the thing to do in response to adrenaline is to get all "stabby-stabby" with my words and with my deeds. By having it done to me for most of my life, I understand very well the destructive power of a well-placed insult, the reality-warping abilities of gaslighting, the way the brandishing of anger can inspire fear, and lots of other very unjust, unsavory things that are aimed at establishing a false sense of safety by giving oneself the illusion of control over a person or a situation.

But I am not in the old environment anymore. And I don't ever have to go back there ever again. I'm self-aware enough to understand that if I don't ask for help when I don't know what is the kind, just, and loving thing to do, the adrenaline in my body will hijack the thinking portions brain, and my amygdala will act alone, resorting to playing out the instincts outlined in the paragraph above. I don't want that. I owe it to the people around me not to be that (yes, even when they make mistakes and do hurtful things). And I owe it to myself not to be that, too; after all, it took me so many years to escape living in it - why would I want to become it, and thus have it living inside of me? I kinda wanna wash my brain out with soap just thinking about it; yecchhhh.

I know there are better ways to be, even if I don't always necessarily always know what those ways are. So instead of surrendering to the pain I was in and lashing out, I asked some of the most trusted people in my circle for help. I was gifted with clarity about how I should address the situation - a way to set a boundary without hurting anyone in the process - so that I can protect both myself and the people around me. It'll probably be clumsy, and I'll probably be scared the whole time, but that's okay. Sometimes life is like that, and the only way out is through.

With the help of the hands that are always outstretched to me, instead of falling to my knees as a slave to my old, destructive instincts and fears, and acting in ways that are unbecoming of my innermost nature as a result, I was able to choose something different. I spent some time processing the resulting feelings, making myself some mac-and-cheese, and getting the excess energy out of my body by playing Dance Dance Revolution (DDR for short; goodness me, am I getting old or what??? Hahaha…). I was even reminded to hydrate by a very caring friend; it was good of them to do because I forget all the time, haha… I've uh… I've gotta work on that whole "staying hydrated" thing in general. Whoops…

In any case, I am feeling a little better now. The thing that happened still really stinks, but humans are tough, and we can deal with things that stink. I'll get a good night's sleep and then try to articulate the thoughts rolling around in my head to the people involved. I have a terrible sense of dread regarding this, but at the same time, I know that the people involved are beautiful, wonderful people, so I'll hold out hope that something good will happen.

And even if my worst fears come to pass and bad things happen because I spoke up, I'll have faith that future me can handle the resulting fallout. And if I can't handle the resulting fallout, then I'll trust that my friends will reach their hands out to me and keep me stable until the storm passes; it is the way of things.

I hope that you'll remember, when you're feeling overwhelmed, sad, scared, betrayed, hurt, angry, or what have you… that you're no longer in the old situation. You're no longer a helpless little boy in a laboratory being abused by men and women in white coats. You're no longer in a situation where you're valued only for your power, your looks, or for what you can do for others. You can make a different, kinder, and more loving choice. And if you don't know what the different, kinder, and more loving choice looks like, you can turn to any of the people you love for help. If no one else, you can always turn to me for help; I might be just a silly little derpling running around in a stardust-flavored bone mech with meat armor, but I'll always be right here, waiting.

I don't wanna leave this on a melancholy note, so I'll stick this here. It is relevant to the things I've written, and I hope you'll like it.

youtube

One of these days… I am going to be more like the mole, when he interacted with the fox in the trap. I'm not there quite yet. But I'm working towards it.

I think I might be able to go work on that music box now. Wish me luck, yeah? I'll wish you luck with your things, too. Please do your best to feel the incoming dawn. And please remember that you have all the love and support that you could possibly want, right under your nose.

Your friend, Lumine

@fairestmusesofthemall asked ; 🎮 🖌️, from a meme from my multimuse when nic was still over there and it’s just taken me weeks to reply too.. yippie!

🎮 - What’s their favorite game?

DDR! You can’t tell me he wouldn’t adore dance dance revolution, it checks off every box for his overall vibes and it’s something he’d really good at! Probably has the top score in it. He is simple : if a game keeps his brain and body active at the same time he’s all for it. He can play games that you can just sit still at if they’re engaging enough, but usually only for like an hour max before he can’t do it anymore.

🖌️ - Do they have any hobbies?

Hell yeah! He’s got tons of hobbies. Surprisingly, one of those includes reading. He likes reading fantasy books more then anything, and once he’s invested in it he tends to get lost in it. He tends to go fishing with Big sometimes too, although he only really fishes with company.

#NO TIME FOR GUESSIN - ; ASKS #JUST GOTTA DO WHAT I GOTTA DO - ; HEADCANNONS #SETTING THE STAGE - ; OOC #fairestmusesofthemall #hope you dont mind i moved this ask over to the sideblog ^^;;

Battle at the tower

Prompt: Adverse effects/Unconventional restraints/"This wasn't supposed to happen"

-----

Iceangel was hovering over the broken tower. Mats stared at her from where he was hidden in a building with Kouichi and DDR.

”Why is she here?” he asked.

Kouichi peeked over Mats’ shoulder.

”We could… ask her?”

”She’s the one who wanted to split up”, Mats argued, not really sure what he argued about. ”Why isn’t she moving on? The tower is down.”

”Why aren’t we moving on?” Kouichi asked. ”We know whoever is building them will be coming any time soon.”

Iceangel started circling the area. Mats wondered what she was looking for. He grabbed his digivice and opened a communication link to his sister.

”Why are you here?” he asked when she answered.

”Why am I here? Why are you here?!” she answered.

Had she seen them? Mats looked through the window. Iceangel was out of sight again and he heard battlesounds on his sister’s end of the link.

”What’s going on? Are they here already?”

”They’ve been sneaking around me for ten minutes, I think they heard Matt.”

”I’ve done nothing!” Yamato called.

”I told you to go with Kouji”, Zara yelled back. ”I can’t carry you away like he can!”

”Did you guys split up further?” Mats asked.

He didn’t like that idea. Kouichi grabbed his arm and Mats could tell he didn’t like it either.

”To cover more ground, yeah”, Zara answered.

Iceangel landed next to the broken tower. Stared at it. Frost spread at the ground around her feet. She wasn’t holding the communicator.

”Do you need help?” Mats asked.

”Depends. Am I allowed to kill?”

Iceangel looked up and turned towards the building Mats, Kouichi and DDR were in. Kouichi pulled at his sleeve and gestured at the door, which had gotten covered in frost.

”Why are you looking for us?” Mats asked into the digivice.

”I don’t think that’s our Iceangel”, Kouichi whispered.

”I’m not”, Zara answered. ”I’m trying to keep Yama from falling into Myotismon’s hands.”

Iceangel’s wings lifted her from the ground and large blocks of ice formed around her. One of them crashed into the building and Mats stood up.

”Definitely not our Iceangel!” he said and grabbed DDR. ”Gotta go!”

They jumped through the hole in the wall and started running. He saw Kouichi grab his digivice and five seconds later KaiserLeomon was running next to him. Mats climbed onto his back.

”Where are we going?” KaiserLeomon asked.

Mats wasn’t sure.

”Do we fight her?” he asked.

Another block of ice crashed into the ground next to them and KaiserLeomon jumped to the side.

”We might have to. She seems intent on fighting us.”

Another block landed infront of them. KaiserLeomon lost his footing and Mats lost his grip. Mats rolled across the ground, DDR in a tight grip against his chest, and crashed into a pile of boxes.

”Schwarz Donner!”

Kouichi charged. Mats peeked through the boxes to see what was going on.

”I wanna help!” DDR said and jumped out.

Mats reached for him but failed to catch him. Instead he pulled out his digivice and grabbed one of the cards from his card holder.

”Card Slash!”

He pulled the card through the card reader. An orange glow appeared around DDR and big, orange wings sprouted on his back. Mats facepalmed. A Charizard card. He really needed to sort through his deck some day.

DDR lifted from the ground, breathed fire towards Iceangel. She was faster in the air, more used to her wings than DDR was to his. She evaded the attack, but KaiserLeomon jumped, a black aura surrounding him.

”Schwarz Köning!”

He smashed into Iceangel, who smashed into the ground. DDR fired another fireball towards her. A white light formed around her hands before she throw it through the air, making a wall of ice appear between her and DDR. The fireball hit the wall and fizzled out.

”SHATTER!” Iceangel yelled.

The wall of ice shattered, large pieces of ice flew towards both DDR and KaiserLeomon. Mats needed to do something.

He needed to stop Iceangel from attacking his friends. Contain her in some way.

Fire was just energy, heat, but in the digital world everything was data. And data could be manipulated, changed, formed however you needed it. Especially if you were the source of it.

Iceangel lifted from the ground again. She, DDR and KaiserLeomon exchanged attacks and evaded attacks. They didn’t say anything and all of them seemed to have forgotten about Mats. Either that or Iceangel didn’t see him as a threat. He let fire gather around his hands, formed long strings of it.

Training with Zara had taught him one important thing – Iceangel was very weak against fire. He sent the strings of fires in Iceangels direction, wrapped them around her hands. All her attacks seemed to come from there and Mats hoped he had analyzed the situation correctly.

Iceangel turned towards him, eyes glowing dangerously. Her wings flapped, she nosedived in Mats’ direction. Mats wrapped the fire around her body, tied her wings up against her back. She fell, but KaiserLeomon jumped, caught her on his back and gently put her down on the ground.

”Who are you?” Mats asked.

Iceangel glared, but didn’t answer. KaiserLeomon let his form go back and DDR’s temporary wings disappeared as well.

”Why are you destroying our work?” Iceangel said.

Her voice was chilly and a shiver ran through Mats’ spine.

”It’s hurting the world!” Mats argued.

”It’s helping it”, Iceangel said. ”It’s stopping people who don’t belong here, make them unable to invade.”

Her glare got colder, the white glow of her eyes more intense.

”People like you.”

”We’re not invading”, Kouichi said and Iceangel turned towards him.

”You’re attacking our villages, destroying months and months of work. Do you see yourself as heroes?” She pulled at the restraints but couldn’t break free. ”Or do you realize you’re pests and just don’t care?”

They heard others in the distance. Kouichi and DDR walked closer to Mats and Iceangel smirked.

”Thinking we’ve overstayed our welcome”, Kouichi said.

”Time to bolt?” Mats asked.

DDR jumped up into his arms and Kouichi nodded.

”Time to bolt.”

Kouichi evolved to KaiserLeomon again. Mats climbed up onto his back and they left the village behind. DDR climbed over to Mats’ back and hang on to it and Mats leaned forwards.

”...are we the bad guys?” he asked.

KaiserLeomon didn’t answer immediately. Mats wondered if Iceangel was right. Were they the villains this time?

”We’ll continue doing our best”, KaiserLeomon said. ”It’s all we can do.”

Mats held on tighter to KaiserLeomon and they continued towards the next area.
