New appreciation art for our sweet angel Lexa 🖤⚔️ It recently occurred to me that I've never actually drawn City of Light Lexa, which is both criminal and unacceptable - so here she goes! I hope you enjoy! 😊 Ps.: Continue being wonderful, take breaks when you need them, be gentle with self, stay hydrated, get some fresh air, remind your friends how loved they are, cherish your softness, and know that you matter very much - Sending out hugs to whoever needs them. 💖 Btw, prints of this drawing are also available in A3 size, as well as A4 & smaller 13x18cm size! She'd be happy to find new homes with you & I'd be beyond grateful for your support ✨

What do you think of Jack Slash
Tumblr media
Jack Slash (and the S9 by extension) are the best villians in worm and no one understands this SERIOUSLY. What other villains have the same amount of personality as they do whilst also hurting our protagonists in a way that no other villains really come close to doing? Bakuda is the only one who even comes close, but the amount of sheer damage that Jack inflicted by himself or by proxy to every major character is so good. I love it when villians actually get to hurt the heroes and also get to be just fuckin fun to read at the same time! Jack has been accused of being shallow by some people- and i get it, compared to everyone else he does seem like he's lackin depth at first glance- but I think that they're not seeing the actual truth of the character: Jack is a simple man in a world of complicated people. Hell, even the rest of the Nine: Shatterbird, Bonesaw, Manniquin, Burnscar ect- are all complicated. Jack? He's just there to have a good time. His definition of a good time is just how he can inflict the highest amount of pain and suffering upon whoever he's fixating on. He's a fantastic narrative foil to Taylor, who pursues her own targets with the same ruthlessness and tenacity but operates on such a bizzare moral scale (if you want to assume he has a scale at all) that she's outplayed by him at every oppertunity. Our heroes fail against Jack, and I think that's amazing. But for some reason most of the fandom hates Jack and the nine???? why? why do you prefer the literal nazis with cardboard cutout personalities (i dare you to tell me what makes any of the empire distinct from each other you can't they're all hyperviolent white nationalists) or the angy dragon man with in-universe-is-boring-af ninja man? Bakuda's in the ABB sure, but only for like one arc and then she's gone. Don't even get me started on the Merchants. TLDR: Jack is actually a great character and you guys are just mean

Hii my name is eloise and I love ur writing so much.
But imagine the reader gets an Uber home from drinking with her friends and she stumbles into the house thinking Aaron is asleep but really he’s waiting up for her… and he’s like 🫢🤭 are you drunk ????
And then he puts her to bed cutely and makes her drink water and take her makeup off GAHHHH
aww thank you eloise - that's such a pretty name! happy to meet you <3 i fear i changed this up a bit where he knew she was out drinking but he was waiting for a call from her! i hope you still enjoy it <3
--
Opening the door quietly is of utmost importance. If you don't, you might wake Aaron, and he's on a tight sleep schedule as it is. The uber you'd called to bring you home drives slow and doesn't peel away from the curb with a screech, which you're grateful for. Now all you have to do is get the key in the front door, which proves to be more difficult than you'd anticipated in your inebriated state.
You don't get more than a few haphazard scratches of the key against the lock before the door swings into the house, and, as you'd been leaning on it while trying to open it, so do you.
"Woah!" You gush as your feet nearly fall out from under you, but a pair of strong hands push against your biceps, and you're upright again.
You notice Aaron standing in front of you, in jeans and a t-shirt. Not in pajamas, and not sleeping, either. Your hazy brain realizes a second late that he's the one holding you up, and you scramble to hug him where he stands.
"Aaron!" You gush, "You're still awake. I thought you'd be night-night."
He lets out a breath of a laugh at your phrasing, more suited for Jack than himself. He masks his amusement by pulling you through the door and shutting it behind you. It clicks into place and he locks it after, peering down the street at the faint lights of your uber driving away.
"Honey, you're home a little early," He hums, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah! I was getting woozy," You muse, hanging off of his bicep while he stares down at your slumped form, "I thought I'd call it quits and come snuggle up with you."
You shimmy your hips at the word snuggle but you're a little uncoordinated, not that Aaron is judging you for it. He smooths away your mussed hair from your forehead to press a sweet kiss there, happy when you hum at the feeling.
"Sweetheart, I was waiting for you to call me and ask for a ride," He informs you, "You know I'll come get you whenever, right? You don't have to waste money on an uber."
"What?" Your brow furrows, "You don't have to wait up for me, Aaron. That's- I didn't mean to keep you awake.'
A soft line of tears blossoms in your waterline as your lip and voice tremble in unison, "I don't want to be a bother."
"You're not a bother!" Aaron insists, smoothing his thumbs over your cheeks, "Hey, no, you wouldn't be bothering me if you asked for a ride. I stayed up because I wanted to, because I wanted to make sure you were okay."
"But you need sleep," You lament, sniffling weakly despite his soothing strokes over your cheeks, "And I would have told you to just sleep if I knew you were staying up. You could have been resting this whole time."
"I couldn't rest if you weren't next to me," He confesses, and he's glad you're a little bit drunk so that you don't tease him for how sappy it is. But it's true, and you sigh against the palm of his hand.
"Love you, Aaron." You hum, "Next time I'll call you."
"Good," He smiles softly, unable to resist leaning in once more to kiss your face. He targets your nose this time, and adores the way it scrunches in response.
"Let's get you changed," He pulls gently on your hand to guide you towards the bathroom, "And I'll take off your makeup too, honey. Then we can go night-night."

hello !! could i request sfw and nsfw relationship headcanons for tingyun ? i love her so much but there’s not a lot of content for her </3
there isn’tttttt, i wish we had more content for herrr and you’re only one who reqed for her! gahhhh! yae and tingyun’s designs are so good, I love fox girls :>
Tumblr media
— well well, you managed to swoon tungyun, why aren’t you lucky! as good as she is in dealing with people everyday as the amicassador and keeping her feelings at check so often, she never expected herself to fall in love with you. then again, how could she not when you’re so wonderful? you’re like a breath of fresh air.
— tingyun is a affectionate partner and she sees no reason to hide the fact that you’re her lover. honestly, i see people interested in her on the daily because of how well-spoken and beautiful she is but too bad her heart is only for one person!
— she loves chilling with you in the sleepless earl tea house. tingyun has so many stories to share and most of em consist of how goofy some of the locals can be. she still can’t believe that someone told her she looks like she’s related to a fox shrine maiden on some novel that she’s never heard before. you want to know why they even thought that? because she’s also a “ fox woman “ who has the “ same aesthetic” as the aforementioned maiden. that gotta be racist right?
— she loves cuddles after a long day! tingyun relishes at the thought of resting her head on your chest while you stroke her ears and scratch around the base of them, the feeling is like sweet heaven. she purrs, her brown tail swaying side to side in delight.
— has a thing for neck kisses, or hell your neck in general! kissing at the sensitive spots on your neck and feeling you shiver against her makes her feel a type of way. she wants to mark you so bad but she can’t, it’ll expose too much. she rather mark you in places only she can see.
— she def scents you, yup that’s right, gatekeeping yo ahh. if non-foxian tries to flirt with you or anybody in that matter, they’re met with a immediate passive-aggressive verbal attack from her.
— tingyun lets you groom her fur!! it’s one of her fav activities with you. she finds it so domestic when y’all sit and you comb her tail with delicacy. sometimes she gets so happy, she wags her tail and it ends up swiping against your nose. tingyun scrambles to apologize to you while you sneeze nonstop.
“ a-ah, i’m so sorry darling! “ tingyun quickly turns around to you sneezing, she smiles sheepishly. “ it appears like my tail has a mind of its own it, h-haha! “ your sneezes dies down after a few moments and she takes the chance to cup your cheek, tracing circles against your cheekbone apologetically. “ i’m fine, yunyun’, no need to apologize. “ you send her a reassuring smile, kissing the inside of her wrist. your hands found her waist, “ though, may i have a kiss for compensation? “ tingyun giggles, dropping her hand to your thighs and motioned closer to your face, her jade eyes sparking with mischief. “ gladly, my love. “
nsfw
— switch. she’s a switch but she’s leaning towards the submissive side though. tingyun enjoys being spoiled if it’s by you! it’s part of her nature to shamelessly indulge herself in certain things like this. oh, how she loves it when you lure her in by the waist, traveling your hand near her tail and describe to her how much you want her laid out on the bed seeing stars.
— loves it when you praise her while she’s giving you head, pleasuring you by rubbing her pussy against yours, or when you’re deep inside of her. when you tell her how good she’s doing with that enticing smile on your lips it drives her crazy.
— if you merely play with her tail and ears with a lil technique, she’ll cum on the spot. she’s sensitive in the right hands.
— tingyun’s a scratcher, she doesn’t do it intentionally but she claws at your back or anything she can get her hands on. she’ll sulk if she ruins one of her fav sheets and blankets. if she scratches your back to the point of bleeding, she makes up for it x100. she tries to cut her nails every so often to avoid it.
— oh, did i say that tingyun’s also a creamer?

familiar soul
Genre/Tropes: Reincarnated lover with memory loss. Falling in love all over again!
Summary: in the past Lilia and mc are lover Lilia want to take her hand in marriage but unfortunately because of war mc died protecting him. Lilia regret and he live in sorrow even though he covered it up since he doesn't want to worry his son until the day when he saw mc show up in front of mirror with Grim in Crowley hand and he knew that she is his past lover and this is her new reincarnation so he decide to pursue her again and this time he won't let her go again. Mc doesn't remember her past lived but whenever she saw Lilia she felt like she know him but can't remember.
Author's Comments: GAHHHH I LOVE THE REINCARNATED LOVERS TROPE
~~~~~
Bodies wriggling on the blood soaked dirt. Fire consuming buildings and the flesh of children. The realization that he couldn’t protect them all, no matter how hard he tried, flashing through his exhausted brain. Focus on the enemy and destroy them. That’s all he had to do. Blurs of fallen soldiers and the loud booms of weaponry firing. Was the person next to him a friend or foe? The stink of blood clogged up his lungs. The adrenaline kept him going, kept him pushing, kept him slashing and fighting deeper into enemy territory.
It kept him til the eventual end of a battle.
The collection of the wounded, the tending of their injuries. The searching for friends and loved ones among the chaos. His certainty that they made it out okay.
The confusion when they weren’t among the wounded.
The adrenaline returning as he rushed out into the battlefield, eyes scanning the piles of bodies frantically.
The burst of white-hot fear in his chest when he saw a familiar arm under an enemy soldier, the limb splattered with blood and unmoving. Subconsciously moving towards the pile, throwing off bodies left and right until he reached them. Their eyes, open. A knife plunged into their chest. Their lips, parted as if seeing the sun for the first time after an endless night.
The war, glorified.
The acceptance centuries later.
The confusion now, as a familiar soul stepped out of a coffin at NRC’s orientation.
Lilia Vanrouge had seen everything. He’d been through so much to get to where he was today, and he was sure nothing else could surprise him. Maybe it was conceited of him to think so, especially when he’d seen your eyes and the secrets they held and thought that he’d seen them before.
He had.
He almost shuddered in his seat as the little cat monster threw a fit, but made no move toward you. There was no telling if you remembered him or not, and he hoped you didn’t.
Days passed by.
It was only when Leona overblotted that he really got a chance to speak with you.
“Prefect?” he placed a hand on your shoulder, tilting his head to get a better look at your face, “May I talk to you for a second?”
“Sure.” you turned around, and his suspicions were confirmed.
Nobody else in the world looked at him like that.
You were indeed them, come back from the dead to grant him peace in this world that moved far too fast.
“I must thank you for getting involved when our Housewarden was in danger. You were very brave.” he said.
Too brave.
“Malleus is precious to Briar Valley as the heir to the throne, and you stepping up to defend him has earned you my gratefulness and deepest respect,”
You got yourself killed last time.
You blinked, a bit surprised at his sudden admission before smiling.
“It’s no problem. You should be thanking Cater though, not me. He’s the one that exhausted himself with this plan. I’m just glad it all worked out.” you laughed.
Laughing in the face of hardship. Never taking credit for your achievements. Always telling Lilia you weren’t as amazing as he thought you were.
It was taking everything in him to prevent him from pulling you into his arms.
“Do...” you snapped him out of his trance, eyes narrowing, “Do I know you from somewhere?”
Lilia couldn’t stop himself from laughing, the sheer joy in knowing that you also held a part of that time in your heart overwhelming him.
“You do.” he smiled, wishing he could reach out and touch you but managing to hold himself back.
“Weird...I don’t remember you at all but I feel like I do.” you sighed, rubbing your temples, “I feel like I know your name, too. Is that weird? I’m sorry if that’s weird.”
“What’s your guess?” he chuckled.
“L...Lily? Lils? Something like that.” you answered, and he couldn’t help but beam at the clear recognition you displayed.
“Lilia. Lilia Vanrouge.” he nodded, offering you his hand, “I’m delighted that you remember. We used to be-”
“Vice Housewarden Vanrouge!” Crowley called out, “We need you to escort Kingscholar to the infirmary!”
“I don’t need to go to the infirmary. I could beat them all right here and now.” Leona grunted, shooting Crowley a glare.
Lilia sighed, patting you on the shoulder.
“I’ll tell you everything later.” he hummed, “There’s one thing you should know, though. You were important to me a while ago. Now that I have you back, I’m not going to let you go again.”
🦇
That night at Ramshackle, you quickly discovered that you couldn’t sleep. Your tossing and turning almost woke up Grim on multiple occasions, but he was quick to drift off again.
If only you could do that.
Staring at the wall, you couldn’t stop fidgeting and kicking your legs. What did Lilia mean? You two knew each other? You’d never seen him before in your life—and you’d remember someone that eccentric. Except you did remember him. But you didn’t.
Sighing, you flung your legs out of bed and threw the blankets to the side. There was no use in trying to sleep if your mind was all muddled. Sliding your feet into your slippers, you crept down the Ramshackle halls and out into the front lawn. The night air was crisp and cool, a gentle wind pricking your skin with cold air. Ignoring the shiver that wracked your body, you sat down on the front steps and stared up at the sky.
There had to be some sort of truth to the strange student’s words. You didn’t feel like you were meeting a new person entirely—it felt like meeting a friend for the first time in a while.
Friend?
That didn’t sound right.
You frowned, reaching up to rub your temples. Maybe you should wait for him to explain it to you tomorrow when you could ask him your questions yourself-
“I didn’t expect you to be awake.” Lilia hummed, hanging upside down in front of you.
You yelped, jerking backward as he landed gracefully on his feet.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that expression!” he laughed, sitting down next to you, “Now, I can only imagine you have a lot of questions for me. I’ll try to answer them all. Just let me know if I’m starting to freak you out too much.”
“Um…wow, you just cut to the chase. How did you get out of your dorm this late?” you asked, furrowing your brow “I thought we weren’t supposed to leave.”
“Is anyone going to catch me around Ramshackle?” he shot back, a smug grin on his features, “We’re safe. Don’t worry.”
Well, you couldn’t really argue with that.
“You’re right.” you mumbled, turning your gaze to the ground, “...How do you know who I am?”
“You were from...my past. You’re obviously not the same person, but you’re too alike...” he shrugged, chuckling when you shot him a baffled look, “You two have the same feeling...the same soul. You have the same mannerisms and facial expressions. I would have to be an idiot to forget how you were before.”
“What were we?” you breathed, meeting his gaze once again.
“Isn’t it obvious?” he pursed his lips, tilting his head, “We were in love. You loved me so much you sacrificed your life for me. I thought I’d never see you again.”
“...What?” you shuddered, a jolt of recognition coursing through your veins.
Obviously you died.
You died in the field of battle.
You died in an attempt to stop someone from stabbing Lilia from behind.
He didn’t find you until the battle was over.
There were so many enemies he didn’t even see you fall.
Your body had been trampled, and then buried under enemies and allies alike.
You clutched your knees to your chest, overwhelmed.
Tears leaked from your eyes.
What a horrible thing to remember.
A warm arm wrapped around your shoulders, pulling you into Lilia’s chest. He held you tightly, pulling the shattering pieces of you back together. He rubbed comforting shoulders on your back as flashes of memories overtook you, making your head hurt so badly you thought your skull was caving in.
“I’m so sorry.” he squeezed you tighter, “I’ll never let anything like that happen again. It doesn’t matter if we end up together once again or end up apart, I will always protect you. You have my word.”
“There was so much blood.” you whispered, clinging to his jacket with all your might, “How…? How did we end up fighting? What happened?”
“I was one of the royal guards. I had to. You never should have gotten mixed up in it. You were strong, but if I’d known…if I’d had a little less faith in you…” he laughed, the sound more bitter than it was before, “You were just too strong. I thought you were ready. I’m so sorry for letting you go out there.”
“It wasn’t your fault.” you sniffled, pulling away from him, “I don’t blame you, so don’t blame yourself.”
“You’re a saint.” he said, shaking his head, “But no. I can’t accept your forgiveness. I should have been more aware.”
“But I’m here now, aren’t I?” you tried to smile, shaking away the thoughts from your head, “I…don’t want to think about dying anymore. It’s…strange. Almost paradoxical. It makes me feel everything I felt before I passed and I’m not sure why but it’s a horrific feeling.”
“You’re dealing with it well. You’re just as strong as I remember.” Lilia said, lacing your fingers together.
“Well…I’ve gotten used to strange things happening. I kinda don’t…care as much anymore.” you shrugged, “It’s not like I’m chill with me dying, but I’ve gotten quick at coping with things.”
“You shouldn’t have to be.”
“But I am.”
“But you shouldn’t have to be. I spent centuries mourning you after you passed.”
You flinched, and he winced.
“Sorry. No talking about your death.”
“It’s fine. I…I know we’re connected somehow, and maybe you’re the entire reason I was brought here in the first place, but…” you bit your bottom lip thoughtfully, “I don’t want to just go back to how things were back then, you know? I mean, I remember you, but I’ve mostly forgotten.”
“Don’t worry. I know.” he let go of your hand, turning his gaze back towards the starry sky, “I’m going to let you get to know me again. I’m going to help you through however many headaches and emotional breakdowns you get from remembering. You’re never under an obligation to spend time with me or feel the same way you did centuries ago. I’m content knowing that you’re safe, and if your fate in this life is finding someone else then I’ll live with that. But please, whatever you do, just let me protect you.”
“Of course.” you answered immediately, confident in your response, “I don’t know you at all, but something inside me knows I can trust you.”
He grinned, locking eyes with you again.
“And that’s all I need.”

Okay so. Assorted Brokerdoll shit
Carmilla has MASSIVE tits, she's always been pretty self-conscious about it because she doesn't really see herself as Sexy but Velvette makes her really love them. Burying her entire head in them (Yes they're that big and then some, Velvette's are nothing to scoff at herself and are actually the same size to scale with Carmilla, but Carmilla being so big in general means that they're just that much bigger than Velvette's and she fucking loves it.) If I had to put a cup size to Velvette & Carmilla I'd say probably 38J. Which as you can imagine, makes shopping for bras pretty difficult, however fortunately Velvette's ability to generate any article(s) of clothing with a snap of her fingers has them covered :)))
Velvette is a massive brat and Carmilla's massive hands give her downright sinful fantasies, from deepthroating fingers to being pinned down and ruthlessly choked. Carmilla is a service top and aims to please, and also enjoys Velvette's bratty behavior and so is glad to play the role of brat tamer for her, letting her get away with a lot to the point that they both feel Velvette's punishments are well deserved, and they're always brutal and satisfying, leaving marks on her the next day.
Combining those first two, Velvette will often subtly use her clothing powers to either change Carmilla's outfit to something very sexy or just downright strip her naked, and wait and see how long it takes her to notice >:) Sometimes Carmilla genuinely takes a while to notice and sometimes it's immediate, and sometimes she just pretends not to notice, confusing Velvette until she sees the smirk on the woman's face and realized just how fucked she is.
Wholesome building off of 4, they sleep naked together whether they've fucked or not, snuggling close together under weighted blankets. Velvette uses her powers to dress them every morning. :)))
Fuck this really got away from me fast GAHHHH I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH OKAY 😭😭😭 I can't wait until they make out vfhdgdgsfsfsfs (please let them make out I beg, I need it so bad)
i literally have nothing to say to these i love them so much <3<3<3<3

Dragons Rising Season 2, Episode 4: Force From the East
I have nothing to say before we start. Let's gooo!
Soooo Geo x Cole is totally canon.
Did anyone else notice that Geo remembers the moments slightly different than they were?
Cole? Chef? Interesting.
I love how excited Geo is for new stuff.
I also love how Geo glows when he uses his powers.
GRHH GEO MISSES COLE SO MUCH. HE BRINGS HIM UP IN EVERY SENTENCE.
Wyldfyre speaking dragon is giving Dory speaking whale.
Lloyd grabbing Arin away from danger is soooo (I'm not crying).
The ninja would be so good at basketball.
I love the usage of Spinjitzu in Dragons Rising. It doesn't make me cringe like it usually would. Like, it actually feels like a cool and powerful fighting technique and not just... a thing they do.
"I was going a secret third way." Arin, I love you.
Arin laughing at Egalt's insult to Lloyd is just sooo adorable.
The finders are so silly. "Sure. What do you want?"
"Oh no, you seem to be stuck!" I love him so much.
I would be reacting more to them taking Bonzle but of course I already know what's going on with her.
COLEEEE COMING BACK FOR HIS FAMILY GAHHHH.
Okay the thing I hate the most about this whole dragon discussion between the ninja, Rontu, and Egalt, is the debate on whether or not dragons can be ninja and whatever is that they don't bring up Lloyd's dragon heritage. He has dragon blood. WHY AREN'T THEY TALKING ABOUT THIS.
"This might sound wild." Lloyd talks like me. He is me.
I hate Egalt lowkey.
COLE AND GEO MAKE ME MELLLT.
THE LITTLE STOMP THAT COLE DOES TO MAKE A SEAT FOR GEO IS SO COOL. It's a creative way to use his powers.
Cole is always finding a way to touch Geo, have yall noticed?
Okay I'm still lost as to why Ras wants the Forbidden Five. Was that ever explained or did I just forget.
"Not funny, Wyldfyre." "Not joking, Sora." I love that interaction.
Rontu looks like a Zelda character. This season is NOT beating the Zelda allegations.
"They are not dragons." LLOYD IS LITERALLY PART DRAGON.
Hate Egalt, love Rontu.
How are the wolf masks breaking through when only Geo can un fuse something? Is it because of their shattered souls? I don't get it.
Zaneeee with the plush is soooo cute.
WOLF MASK JUMPSCARE.
Also, haven't mentioned this before, but the credits music is always so good.
ANOTHER EPISODE COMPLETE! I think what Iove most about this episode is that it literally just confirms how much Geo misses Cole and also that he is so down bad. Literally. Who stares at a picture of "just a friend" that much. He's in love.
This episode has the moment that I hate most because they ignore that Lloyd has dragon blood. I know he's not full dragon, but it's worth mentioning, right? Especially since Arin has very obvious Oni symbolism. Lloyd already had his Oni moment, but his dragon side has pretty much never been addressed. I need part 2 of this season to bring it up. Because the fact that it's being forgotten is annoying me, especially since the show has brought up past seasons before. (Morro, Tournament of Elements).

Gideon the Ninth Reaction - Chapter 31
what with this and chapter 20 Harrow is getting undressed a lot more frequently than i would have predicted at the start
wait is this the infamous pool scene i've heard about?? 
yeahh Harrow’s general attitude of paying more attention to the other Houses rather than Everything else going on really backfired w/ sending Gid & the Fourth back to the facility. but to be fair i don’t think anyone could have predicted just how badly it would go
interesting to get an insight to Harrow’s parents other than Gideon’s in this chapter. the fact that they were fully willing to kill the other Ninth children to have Harrow be such a powerful necromancer, their fear of Gideon - but also Harrow continuing her mother’s tradition of the salt water pool, their kindness to Harrow as they were preparing to kill themselves and her. it paints a quite nuanced picture of two very ruthless but cowardly people who do seem to have loved their daughter to some degree, even if they were terrible people.
and i was right in my suspicion that there’s something up with Gideon herself! what with surviving nerve gas and being fine after the whole soul-siphoning thing, she just physically seems more resistant to dying. maybe her mysterious origins will be coming back into play soon
guess in a roundabout way i wasn’t wrong in chapter 2 that Harrow’s both prideful and vulnerable, she has just as much self-loathing as Gideon and her superiority was an outlet for it. she’s more comfortable being drowned than hugged!! this chapter in general recontextualizes so much of Harrow’s character and motivations and i feel like i’m gonna have to go back and reread this book at some point with that in mind
so i already knew about the reveal Harrow’s parents killed off the other kids so this chapter isn’t as impactful as it might have otherwise been, but it is still a very good chapter in that it gives such an insight into Harrow’s psyche growing up knowing something like that from such a young age. the entire chapter is pretty much just exposition but it’s worked into the characters and their dynamics very well
oh also she doesn’t actually blame Gideon for her parents dying apparently! this is why we communicate people
ok i wasn’t expecting to actually find out what was in the Locked Tomb in this book but here we go i guess. Harrow talks about the ‘beast’ the emperor defeated at the resurrection being in the locked tomb, but actually in there is a … preserved dead girl? hm, there feels like a lot more to this than the emperor is actually telling. the mention of the tomb being surrounded by salt water as well feels significant somehow, especially since Harrow mentioned it in this chapter as ceremonial.  
ooh it occurred to me that, based on absolutely no evidence other than i know a character called ‘Nona’ is the title of the third book, is the girl in the tomb Nona??
“I deserve to die at your hand. You are my only friend. I am undone without you” i am not normal about these two
also gahhhh Gideon moved to the cavalier bed. i have absolutely nothing coherent to say except i love them your honour

waitwaitwait i have onnnne more :)
we know akaza is a thrasher when tickled BUT there's this one spot right between his shoulder blades which is just an off button. like the ler will accidentally scratch it and he goes limp immediately, his laughter goes silent and if they then switch back to another spot, it'll take him a moment to "get back on track", he'll ofc laugh and shriek and whatever but he needs to collect himself for a moment before he can properly move again. daki and gyutaro think it's hilarious.
okay that's it <3
{Headcanons to Dabbles: CLOSED!}
KJREKJRKJEJRK YESH! God I love Akaza having a tickle spot that just makes him go *Windows shut down noise* ajkrkjakjerkjaekjr This is hilarious! I've gotcha covered, Rey! :3
CW: Swearing
“Stahhahahahahap!”
“No ho ho ho!” Daki mimicked, giggling as her nails skittered along the stripes encasing his torso, making him thrash and howl in hysterics. “I barely started and you’re already laughing! Tickle tickle, Lord Akaza~”
That little brat! Douma taught her too well…
“Aheahhahahahha! heheheh-hahhahhahha! Yooohohohohu dahahhahahamn ruhuhuuhnt, I’ll kihiihihihll you-” Akaza sat up some to try and roll her off, but then a figure suddenly manifested from her back.
“Gotcha!” Gyutaro leaped over the bodies, landing just inches behind Akaza. Within seconds, he had both hands clawing at the awful spot between his shoulder blades. “Try to kill us now, Lord Stripes!”
“!!!” A weak little sound escaped before Akaza went limp, falling back into Gyutaro’s chest as his previous howls went near silent. Daki waited for her brother to stop before scratching the lines along his ribcage.
“AHehehehheeheHAHAHHAHAHA GAHHHH!” First there wasn’t much of a reaction, but then Akaza was giggling, then laughing. Now he was squirming like a fish off a hook once more, near shrieky in his mirth. “DHAHHAHKI STAHHHAAP-”
Scratches to his shoulder blades. Instant ragdoll.
“PFFT Oh my god! Lord Douma was right- he really does go limp!” Daki cackled like a witch, clapping her hands in delight as Akaza tried batting her brother off. Gyutaro was just as giggly, equally amused by the effect and pleased that his sister was so thrilled. “Okay okay- one last thing. Hold his wrists.”
“W-Whaahhat? Oh no- No no no, don’t you dare you son of a-” A pinch to his shoulder blades cut him off. That moment of distraction was all Daki needed.
“PFFFFFFFFFT”
“GHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Akaza all but roared with mirth, full body spasming as Daki blew a loud raspberry against his stomach. The muscles on his arms flexed within Gyutaro’s grip, but they remained unmoving. “OHOHOHOOAKY STHAHAHHAP!”
To his relief, they did. Daki sat back up with a giggle as Gyutaro released his wrists, the two siblings booking it out of there like Lord Muzan just walked in. Akaza would have chased them, but he was far too tired.
“Dahahamn brats…” He groaned, unable to fight off the smile in his voice.

hiii!! I was the one who requested the blind, fem reader x indra, and its SOOOO good, like ohhhh myyyy gahhhh!!! <3. I was wondering if I could request a fem reader who is a kitsune and has the ability to change forms (human and animal) but she mostly is in her animal form and she messes around with him a lot? like maybe she playfully bites his fingers and wrists in a gentle manner and hides out in his clothes whenever she's sleeping?
you can decide if you want indra to be a yandere or not, it's all up to you, lovely! Anyways, have a good rest of your day and no pressure <3.
OMG THANK YOU SWEETIE!! It makes me happy knowing you enjoyed the request. <3<3 And this request is…PERFECT! I decided to present him in a softer light as I feel there are many other ideas where he can be very yandere, and this request is so cute, fluffy and adorable, I couldn’t present him as yandere. Hope its okay with you. And I used Japanese folklore/mythology to write this better. For a small context, I use the word tenko as they are kitsunes who take the form of a female and are usually kind deities. (i love japanese mythology by the way)
ANYWAYS ENJOY THE READING! I for sure loved writing this request. Please keep them coming<3<3<3 This request may have a second part where he discovers that the reader is a deity, so if you want it let me know!!
Tumblr media
Y/n was one of the most powerful yokais in Japan, more precisely a tenko. As a kitsune, she was able to change her form, which was making her job much easier. Y/n loved helping humans, but she also loved messing with them, as their reactions were extremely amusing and fun to watch. However she had only one trait that she didn't like; she was getting bored of her prays very soon. No man was able to hold her attention for a long period of time. That was until she came across a certain long-haired traveler, who settled near the small village shrine Y/n was residing in. The mysterious man instantly grabbed her attention, as he was handsome and full of certain interesting energy that pulled Y/n to him. 
She would follow his every track with utmost attention, trying to analyse his behaviour. From what she could tell, this man did not like talking much and preferred spending time alone. This of course, made the kitsune deity more interested in him and she finally decided to approach him in her animal form. She was sure her beautiful fur and movements would grab the attention of the man. 
And she was right!
The man instantly noticed, at that time unbeknownst to him, the powerful deity who was in the form of an animal. 
“A kitsune..?” he asked himself, looking at the animal. His sharingan was glowing while he looked at the creature, feeling some sort of uneasiness. Indra was never one to love animals. He never paid them any attention as he had other serious issues to deal with, especially now that he left his home and was wandering around. However, he couldn't help but be mesmerized by the cute animal that was not making its way to him.  
“You want to eat, little one? I don't have any food to give to you..” he spoke softly, something which he didn't know he could do after the terrible betrayal and heartbreak he had faced. Y/n, hearing his soft voice, was now more intrigued by him. She walked to him and sat down next to him, her chin laying on his leg.
“You are a cute one…”he said, chuckling. He could not help but feel like he wanted to pet the cute animal laying on his leg. The only animal he petted as a child was his shiba dog, and only him. He kept looking at the fox, seeing the beautiful sunset reflecting in its gray eyes. 
Y/n felt his hesitancy and had to initiate the petting herself. She got up, softly jumped on his lap and started nuzzling against his chest. This of course took Indra off the guard, but he did not protest. After all, the fox was such a cute one he had to give her some pets and affection. Y/n, having done this for centuries, knew that no human can say no to her cute charms, and when her new prey started to pet her, she had a victorious look on her face. 
After that point on, Y/n would visit Indra every day, to keep him company, to analyse his behaviour and of course to sometimes help him by bringing fruits to him from the nearby shrine.  The man was not against her company, as he preferred hers to other humans. As the kitsune’s visits started to increase, Indra always carried an extra piece of clothing with him, to wrap it around the animal at nights to keep her warm. Y/n enjoyed his company more than she imagined, which led to spending more time with him. She was always with him, following him wherever he was going. 
During one of her regular followings, which was more like stalking now, Indra and her went to a small cave. The inside was full of shiny beautiful crystals, which were reflecting the small lights on the water surface.
“You can;t stay here little one. Go away. I need to take a bath, okay?” he said calmly while loosening his black belt of his white kimono. Y/n saw many men and women naked, she didn't care about others, but for some reason she was feeling embarrassed to see that man’s body. And since she was in her animal form, she had the opportunity to run as he instructed and which she did.
-After few days-
Y/n could not bring herself to meet him after their last meeting. It was a weird and unexplainable feeling for her, SHe would walk by herself in her human form, watching him from afar, but not go close to him. At first she wanted to play with that man a little bit, but she never thought that she would be the one to be all shy and embarrassed around him.
“I should really cut contact with him. He seems to be better at my own game..”she said to herself, sighing as she casted another look at him. There he was, sitting again next to the tree she first approached him. She chuckled at how cute he was for a human, but soon she saw something unexpected,
The man took the extra piece of clothing he was carrying with him for her, and put it on his chest. 
Y/n felt flustered, her heart beating faster now. 
Oh how cute was he…
Without second thought she transformed back into her kitsune form, and ran down to him. He was missing her as much as she was. After all those twp got close together in the span of little time. Her small fox legs carried her and soon she was next to him, her mysterious ex-prey. He was leaning on the tree, his eyes closed and one hand on the piece of clothing. Y/n slowly jumped to his lap, moved the piece of clothing and rested her head on his shoulder.
“Hmmm..~ Seems my small kitsune is back…” he mumbled, his hand moving to her fur. Y/n felt in peace in his hands, and without making another movement, she slowly fell asleep. Little did she knew…the mysterious man was aware of her real face and metamorphosis abilities long ago~

9th feb '24 - [arch] characters, interactions and emotion - making a mini webcomic
Gahhhh Shri this has been an absolutely crazy couple of weeks!!!! Hope you are doing well :)) First of all, WOW! You have a lot of goals, and I’m sure you’ll get them done! I’ve worked a lot on my graphic design during the process of making Winter Wellbeing. If you wanna see a blog post dedicated just to that, I can do so! It would be cool to compare notes on the approaches we take for graphic layouts. If you wanna share your knowledge of camera skills when you build that up that would be awesome 😭😭
It’s been a tough few weeks, art wise. I have been reflecting on my process, motivations to create, the ego and all the baggage that’s lumped into the creative process for me. It turns out there’s a lot. I took some space from my illustration practise (literally for a weekend!) and began to realise how dysfunctional it is. I’ve been writing a lot about that so there may be a larger piece of writing coming about that at some point (no promises!!)
But for now, let's talk about little successes!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve been playing with some characters for a while but I’d hit a bit of a block with the plot. I realised the expectation of having a finished project of high quality soon is unrealistic, and an unhealthy expectation to put on myself. I rarely give myself time to play with concepts for a long time and let the characters, plot and interactions evolve naturally. Maybe this in part came from sticking to the short university module turnaround. I noticed that that short turnaround was causing a lot of block, so I have decided to bench it as a comic for now and focus on using it as a playground - falling in love with the characters, creating stories and drawing them for fun. Maybe years down the line I’ll make them into a comic - we shall see! 
I *tried* to do hourly comics day this year and it didn’t quite work for me. I think I made 3 comics? And then got distracted with a bigger project that ended up taking a week or so to complete. Let’s have a look at it, shall we?
[you can find the full version here]
First of all, it’s based on an unfinished fanfiction I started a couple of months ago, which was mostly bad, but there was one nice scene that I liked and wanted to expand on. I started by having a look at the script I wrote and thumbnailing on the iPad. I’m away from home at the mo and usually would prefer to do most of my artwork traditionally, but because I don’t have access to a scanner, the whole process was digital this time. A lot of the pages got scrapped because the dialogue wasn’t necessary, and I’m not drawing pages that aren’t necessary.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
some more development screenshots
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I thought a lot about posing during the process, acting the scenes out in my mind and sometimes physically, really understanding the emotions of the characters, why they’re saying what they’re saying, their tone and how to convey that though their body language and expression (i find grian really annoying normally [affectionate] but I want this grian to step on me).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pearl was hard with this because she’s quite erratic and unpredictable in this series, so I wanted her to switch from raw explodey anger to playful jabs at Grian. I’m hoping this comes across as somewhat insane, rather than tonally off and inconsistent. I did super enjoy drawing her and her explosive nature though, especially in comparison to Grian’s coldness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I played with levels and monotone colour too - I’m not working with multiple colours much at the moment so I’m able to focus on things like values composition, characters and backgrounds. My skills limit the kind of stories I can tell currently, so I’m working to improve those foundations. Maybe when I’m back in the riso studio I can play with colours a little more.
Colours - despite the simple pallete it gets a bit nerdy here.I stuck to specific flat percentages for most of it - Pearl’s hair and Grians jumper are 60%, Grian’s hair and Pearl’s cloak are 20%. Then I added a 14% layer for shadows, using a ahrd blend eraser tool for highlights, making the images quite dark. I fill a layer with texture from Forystr’s riso brush for procreate, and turn it into a 40% opacity colour dodge layer. This gives it some much needed texture and makes the lighting feel low and nighttimecore. It also pushes the values to look really nice - I tend to be too scared to push them by myself.
I tried a few different colour layers to get a *vibe* but settled on a low percentage riso blue in a colour layer. All layers besides the riso blue are in a riso black, colour picked from a riso colour pallete. I learnt these tools - using percentages to get good values - from working with risograph. I really recommend having a look at these techniques and doing some monotone work. It's really improved by character designs, page layouts and compositions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's all from me today, though I have had MANY other thoughts over the past two weeks about creating, but perhaps we'll dive into them another time. If you (or anyone else) has any questions, hit me up with a reblog or an ask and I will get right to it. Lovely to hear from you! Hope your art is going great too :)) Arch :)

okay okay gather round sorry this is coming later than i said it would, law school brain. but. at long last, bottoms review time with mollie except this time with lots and lots of spoilers.
i think we covered my general “good movie very funny” thoughts in the spoiler free review, which you can read here so this is gonna be more me info dumping about my thoughts on the plot. and the core of those is that….
PJ IS A LITTLE BITCH!!! i wanted to like her in a “i support women's wrongs” way truly i did but she’s just. an asshole! not all annoying female characters are redeemable, and she is one! that’s not to say her character *existing* annoyed me, i think her being the anti-thesis to josie is an important facet of the movie and the whole “lie falling apart” plot line needed a bad guy so. she was a necessary evil.
that said though gahhhh. i wanted to wring her little neck and ik a satirical movie is not meant to be a realistic example of friendship. i do..but i still think josie was wayyy too forgiving. josie deserves better friends!!! and i fear in a world where these characters are real/the story continues pj needs to idk go to therapy or she’s gonna make josie miserable for being happy with isabel while she’s not in a relationship. (and that is to say she should not be with hazel either! she needs therapy not a girlfriend!)
buttttt but but all that to say i do think rachel did a great job playing her. playing unlikeable characters in a way that makes them unlikeable without a viewer wishing they weren't in the movie at all is a skill set! her being funny and me wanting to punt her across the room are very much thoughts that co-exisit!
moving semi away from pj…the reveal of brittany being straight threw me for such a loop that the next like- 5 minutes of the movie went right over my headkjfkj not to be an insane person but i was gen a little disappointed!! let kaia play a gay character in something that isn’t ahs!! i will wait!!! that said though she actually pulls off the whole “straight girl that isn’t gay just likes gay porn” stereotype very well and made me laugh. i still loved brittany to bits and pieces…heterosexual and all.
josie and isabel. josie and isabel. wahhhhh. wahhhh. my darling girls. when josie almost told her they were lying about juvie but went back on it my heart broke a little bc you could tell she felt guilty and i just ,</3..and yeah she did choose to keep up with the lie when she realized she was getting what she wanted (isabel) but i think the film did a good job of showing how her keeping up with it was different from pj keeping up with it. pj kept up with the lie bc she was on a power trip. josie kept up with it because she didn’t want to lose isabel/lose finally having a geuine connection with a girl/and felt like she had in a way gotten her away from jeff so as long as they kept the lie up she could keep looking out for her.
which is still well, manipulative. lying is bad! but idk i had much more sympathy for her than i did pj. and think when it all came out that josie was actually sorry, whereas pj was only sorry they got caught/still bitter britt was straight. 
those are my main thoughts on it all, but some side bars: lovedd hazel. ruby is great and i am not really a fantasy show person, just not my genre but now i kinda wanna check out willow just to see more of her. the plot twist with jeff actually fucking her mom was soooo early 2000s teen movie and i ate it up. as was the fact that outside of that no one seemed to have parents at all LOL your kids are coming home with black eyes and you don’t have some questions?!?! miles fowler was also really great and tbh i liked him as much as i did kaia in it. esp his flip phone. especially his flip phone. josie's monolouge about marrying a pastor and lavender marriages is what made me start choking on my shake. right up my humor ally as someone who grew up evangelical, and i imagine ayo found it funny for the same reason! was expecting the big josie/isabel hookup scene to be more vulgar less *fade to black* but this is a movie about high schoolers so actually that's a good thing i think?? i accidentally read a spoiler explaining the final killing spree scene months ago and really wish i didn’t bc it would’ve been fun to experience that going in blind.
another side bar to close this out. i *loved* this movie. 5 stars in my book i can’t wait to rewatch it over and over when it’s on prime. but i…kinda disagree with all the tweets saying it’s the next mean girls/heathers/etc cult classic. not because i don’t think it’s good! but because i think comedy film criticism is turning into everything having to be iconic or a future cult classic to be praised? a funny movie can just be a funny movie! it doesn’t have to be the next heathers for you to like it and praise it! does that make sense?
if you read this all the way through congrats! go gay people! go losers!
hello! If you’re reading this because you’re scrolling through the bottoms tag my name is mollie (-: this is primarily a gossip blog for austin butler and his girlfriend kaia gerber (brittany!), both folks i’m big fans of- with a side of elvis presley/presley family fan posting. but i’ve been ‘covering’ bottoms quite a bit so do feel free to come hang out and send anons if you wanna chat! <3 and i’m going to start posting anons containing spoilers on sunday night- so if i don’t answer something right away that’s why.

The wind rustled through the mid-autumn leaves, the air cool and biting despite the sun’s bright light shining down. A little girl with short, messy hair sat underneath the leaves, a dark blue puff jacket wrapped around her red tracksuit — a uniform of her school, which kept her little body warm under the shade of the trees.
“Tsubame!”
The six-year-old’s head perked up at her name, her wide brown eyes looking towards the glass sliding door that separated the backyard from her quaint home. Her mother, as elegant as ever, donned a smart blouse and dress pants, and walked towards her child, holding her hand out to her daughter’s smaller, outstretched one.
“Come, we should leave now or you’ll be late,” Chizuru hummed, guiding her daughter out of the house.
“And it’s your first day of school, we don’t want to have a bad impression.”
“But Okaasan,” Her daughter mumbled, looking away in embarrassment, clutching her mother’s hand tighter.
“Isn’t it weird that I don’t look like a girl?”
Chizuru glanced down at her child in worry, seeing the quiet child attempting to hide her face further into her puffy jacket.
“Bame,” Chizuru smiled, squatting down to her daughter’s height. "How you look doesn't matter, as long as you stay true to yourself, and my darling daughter, you're so much more than what you believe you are. Just remember, Otousan and I love you very, very much. You're gonna make so many friends and they'll adore you just as much as we do, okay?"
Chizuru watched the way her daughter's head lifted in the slightest, hazel eyes filled with hope before it darted down again, Tsubame settling for a small nod at her mother's words.
"Now, give me a smile!" Chizuru chided, her fingers darting to the little girl's sides, wriggling as she pulled giddy laughter out of her little one.
"There we go! Now you're all ready to go!"
Tsubame smiled widely at her mother, Chizuru standing up to her full height as they walked hand-in-hand to the direction of the school.
"Now, you remember how to introduce yourself, right? Why don't you give it a shot?"
"Ok! My name is Shu Tadashi, and I'm six years old!" She grinned before a frown of confusion rested on her chubby cheeks. "Okaasan, it feels weird having two names."
Chizuru chuckled, a light pat landing on Tsubame's head.
"Don't worry, Bame, it's only temporary."
"Promise?"
"Promise."

“Looks like the new kid has it rough, Kugisaki-chan.”
A red-headed girl followed her classmate’s line of sight, spotting a little boy with messy, dark hair, and eyes screwed shut. A group of boys surrounded him, fingers jabbed in his direction as they laughed and jeered.
“What’s going on there?” Kugisaki’s face morphed into a frown, as her classmate shrugged.
“Beats me, but boys will be boys.”
Kugisaki let out an unsatisfied hum as the school’s bell rang, signifying the end of their lunch break. She watched as the largest, the leader — she assumed, of the ring of boys, gave the new kid a hard shove before walking back to their class, her glare trained in the older boys’ direction.
She’s not even a friend anyway.
“Hey,” Kugisaki called out, despite her classmate’s various calls of warning; both not to approach the group and to return to class.
“Tsk, what do you want, little girl?” The largest boy sneered, crossing his arms as his friends behind him snickered at the eight-year-old before them, their faces screaming — “Such an arrogant girl! He’ll teach her her place!”
“What’s your deal with Tiny over there?” She pointed to the poor boy who rubbed his head, flinching at the sight of the leader’s stare as his feet took him to his class faster than any of them anticipated.
“Oh him? Nah, he’s just a weakling, and he’s a real sissy. He’s just an annoyance, yabbering about ghosts,” He shrugged before his smirk returned. “Why? You got a problem?”
The redhead girl stared him dead in the eye, searching his soul for any remorse, but there was nothing to be found other than a disgusting form of pride he held over having more power than a boy smaller than him.
“Nah, no problem,” She brushed her shoulder off, walking away as the boy rolled his eyes.
“Whatever.”
As per usual, these were the famous last words of a poorly judged boy, as when 3:15 came around, he resumed his hobby of picking on the new kid, who sat peacefully in his quiet classroom, a piece of paper taking shape in his hands.
“What do you have there, yowai?” He sneered, finding enjoyment in the way his hands instantly darted behind his back to protect whatever he was hiding.
“N-Nothing. It’s not important,” Tadashi muttered, hazel eyes darting away guiltily.
“It’s definitely important if he’s hiding it!” His lackey chided, surprising the young boy from behind, and catching him off guard.
Instantly, the paper in his hands collapsed on the floor, revealing a dainty little crane. Before Tadashi could reach for the folded piece of paper, his bully nabbed it, pinching it between his fingers with a scrutinising glare.
“This for me?” The boy grinned, watching Tadashi’s lack of reaction before crushing it in his large palm.
He watched with amusement, seeing the dread that grew in his victim’s eyes, a laugh bursting out of his accomplice who simply held the new kid back, preventing him from approaching his creation.
“Oh well, you were too slow. Too bad!” He jeered, leaning closer to the new boy. “But that’s what you get for acting smarter than all of us. You think you’re so great ‘cuz you entered halfway through the year? Boo, hoo, hoo—“
“Oi!”
Tadashi’s line of view instantly darted to the doorway, seeing the red-headed girl from lunch standing with her arms crossed, a sneer on her features aimed at the large boy.
“Back away from the new kid, loser.”
“You again?” He frowned, turning to face the girl. “And who you callin’ a loser? You always get in trouble with the teacher anyway with how many times you were caught wrestling.”
“That should make you even more scared of me then!” She huffed, rolling up the sleeves of her red tracksuit.
“What are you gonna do? Hit me? You’re a girl, you’re wea— ACK!”
A punch across his jaw cut him off as Kugisaki’s fist collided with his face, the boy’s lackey watching with horror as his friend stumbled back on impact, and Tadashi could only watch in awe of the girl before him.
“Y-You!” The boy glared. “You dare hit me?!”
“Quit whining, you pansy!” Kugisaki hissed back, parking herself in front of Tadashi as his bully’s friend walked up to the girl with a threatening glare, although the redhead child wasn’t affected by it in the slightest.
“You’re a freak!” He hissed, jabbing a finger in Kugasaki’s face, her eyelids lowered in boredom. ”Just wait til the teacher hears about this.”
“Akemi-sensei?” Kugisaki questioned before a smile grew on her lips. “That’s too bad, ‘cuz she believes everything I say. What can I say? Being a cute kid has its perks.”
The older boys froze in confusion, bare of a comeback to insult the girl. Instead, they reluctantly sauntered out of the room, but not without the older boy hissing a threat in Kugisaki’s direction before he left.
“You’ll pay for this.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep up your blabbering and maybe then you’ll finally run out of things to say,” She huffed, slamming the classroom door shut behind her, but not without sending an insulting expression in the older boys’ way.
The girl let out a scoff, turning around to check on the boy, but all she was met with was a look of awe and wonderment as the small boy quickly bowed in respect.
“Thank you for helping me, Miss! My name is Shu Tadashi and I’m six years old and forever in your debt!”
“Woah there! No need to call me Miss, geez. You make me sound so old,” Kugisaki sighed, waving her hand dismissively as the small boy stood straight once again, a disgruntled mumble escaping the slightly older student.
“And my name’s Kugisaki Nobara, not Miss. I’m eight, so I’m not that much older than you.”
“Kugisaki-chan, thank you for your help then!” Tadashi nodded, pulling out the crane he had pocketed, despite its slightly crushed appearance.
“Please! Take this crane as a form of thanks!”
“I don’t need your thanks, Tadashi,” She sighed. “Just make sure you better keep your mouth shut if anything happens.”
“I can keep secrets! I’m super good at it!”
“Really? Fine then! Prove yourself.”
A silence fell upon the two, Tadashi’s posture stiff before he started to fidget, a sigh escaping him.
“If I do, can you promise to keep this between us?”
Kugisaki eyed the boy up and down, letting out a sigh before nodding, finding that the boy had nothing against her at all.
“Fine,” She shrugged. “Spill the beans, then.”
“Okay, well, my name’s Tadashi, but I’m not a boy! I’m actually a girl and my name’s Tsubame, although my mother doesn’t want me to tell anyone ‘cuz it can cause trouble, though I’m not sure what, but you hafta promise me—“
“Geez! Okay, I’ll keep your secret! You ramble too much, sheesh,” The red-head girl huffed, but regret washed over her as she saw the younger girl shy away ever so slightly.
“But uh, Tsubame, huh?” She questioned, watching the younger girl nod, eyes regaining their eager shine.
“I’ll call you Tsu-tsu. Hey, shouldn’t you be going home soon?”
“Oh no, my mama is picking me up later at four, my papa’s still at work until five!” Tsubame shook her head, recalling her parent’s work schedules. “So I’m gonna be here waiting until then!”
“Nonsense, come over to my place,” Nobara nonchalantly tucked her hands into her pockets. “I can get my parents to call yours and you can hang out with me while waiting.”
“No way, really?” Tsubame’s smile grew, Nobara smiling slightly before she cleared her throat.
“Yeah, totally. But on the condition that you tell me whenever jerks pick on you, and you call me Nobara. No need for honorifics or whatever, you don’t need to be formal with me.”
“Does this make us friends then?”
Kugisaki went silent for a while as she pushed the classroom’s door open. She’d never really opened up to anyone other than Saori, and the idea of having a new friend who she’d have to constantly watch over did make her wince… but who else did Tsubame have?
With a nod, she held out a thumbs up.
“Yeah, we’re friends.”
“Awesome!” Tsubame beamed, pulling the straps of her backpack over her shoulders while following her new friend out of the classroom, the two chatting along the way.
“Oh, by the way, I have another friend you’d have to meet.” 
“Another friend? Nobara you’re so cool!”
“I know I am. You don’t need to remind me.”

the power of three: while the main plot of the episode isn't great, that's not really what it's about. it's about the characters !! the doctor literally stays in one place for a whole year because of how much he loves his friends. also kate
deep breath: a wonderful introduction to 12 and also a great rework of the girl in the fireplace
the magician's apprentice/the witch's familiar: interesting exploration of 12's morals, also MISSY !!! MISSY MISSY
heaven sent: it's heaven sent. i could write a whole essay about it
the pilot: PERFECT introduction to s10, bill bill bill bill bill
knock knock: ill say it. i fucking love knock knock. its fun its goofy its bill's friends meeting the doctor. who doesn't love insects
world enough and time/the doctor falls: gahhhh i could also write an essay about these
wild blue yonder: perfectly captures some of the best parts of doctor who. it's scary it's goofy it's incredible
